description: Non-uniform temperature fields are analyzed, which arise in the problems of formation of the steady shock wave at impact and ramp loading of metals, exit of the steady shock wave to the free surface, and the shock wave passing through the interface between two different materials. Theoretical analysis and computations show that high-entropy (with the temperature increase) and low-entropy (with the temperature decrease) layers arise near the interfaces in the above problems of shock and ramp loading. The impact produces the high-entropy layer; while the ramp loading can result in the both high- and low-entropy layers. At the shock wave passing through the interface, the high-entropy layer is formed in the lower-impedance material and the low-entropy -- in the higher-impedance one. The formation of high-entropy layer at impact is supported by molecular-dynamics simulations in addition to continuum modeling. The high- and low-entropy layers should be taken into account in simulations of shock-wave processes in thin targets or in other cases where surface effects are important.

description: We consider the problem of fairly dividing a two dimensional heterogeneous good among multiple players. Applications include division of land as well as ad space in print and electronic media. Classical cake cutting protocols primarily consider a one-dimensional resource, or allocate each player multiple infinitesimally small "pieces". In practice, however, the two dimensional \emph{shape} of the allotted piece is of crucial importance in many applications (e.g. squares or bounded aspect-ratio rectangles are most useful for building houses, as well as advertisements). We thus introduce and study the problem of fair two-dimensional division wherein the allotted plots must be of some restricted two-dimensional geometric shape(s). Adding this geometric constraint re-opens most questions and challenges related to cake-cutting. Indeed, even the elementary \emph{proportionality} fairness criteria can no longer be guaranteed in all cases. In this paper we thus examine the \emph{level} of proportionality that \emph{can} be guaranteed, providing both impossibility results (for proportionality that cannot be guaranteed), and algorithmic constructions (for proportionality that can be guaranteed). We focus primarily on the case when the cake is a rectilinear polygon and the allotted plots must be squares or bounded aspect-ratio rectangles.

Challenging biological justifications for the orgasm gap: implications for immutability beliefs and orgasm pursuit
Creators: name: Wetzel, Grace Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: The orgasm gap between cisgender men and women remains a pressing gender equality issue. Researchers in the sexuality field have established that differences in orgasm frequency between men and women are not primarily due to biological cause, as the orgasm gap can be eliminated in certain contexts (e.g., masturbation). However, biological explanations for the orgasm gap are commonly endorsed by lay people. Biological justifications for gender differences in general are often connected to immutability beliefs (i.e., beliefs that gender differences are unchangeable), under a framework of gender essentialism. The current research tests an educational intervention to reduce biological justification for the orgasm gap, with the goal of reducing immutability beliefs and impacting subsequent outcomes (e.g., gender essentialism, pursuit of women’s orgasm). We recruited an online sample of cisgender, heterosexual women and men (N = 347; 56.2% women), who either received an educational research excerpt which challenged biological justification for the orgasm gap, or a control research excerpt. We found that the intervention was successful at reducing immutability beliefs for men, p < .001, but not for women. The intervention also reduced men’s, but not women’s, overall endorsement of gender essentialism, p < .001. Though there was no direct effect of condition on pursuit of women’s orgasm, mediation analyses indicated that condition impacted men’s pursuit of women’s orgasm and men’s gender essentialism through the associated decrease in immutability beliefs. These results suggest that providing information which challenges biological justification for the orgasm gap has important implications for men, and this education should be implemented on a larger scale.

description: Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, learns from previous experience to optimize performance, which is ubiquitous in various fields such as computer sciences, financial analysis, robotics, and bioinformatics. A challenge is that machine learning with the rapidly growing "big data" could become intractable for classical computers. Recently, quantum machine learning algorithms [Lloyd, Mohseni, and Rebentrost, arXiv.1307.0411] was proposed which could offer an exponential speedup over classical algorithms. Here, we report the first experimental entanglement-based classification of 2-, 4-, and 8-dimensional vectors to different clusters using a small-scale photonic quantum computer, which is then used to implement supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The results demonstrate the working principle of using quantum computers to manipulate and classify high-dimensional vectors, the core mathematical routine in machine learning. The method can in principle be scaled to a larger number of qubits, and may provide a new route to accelerate machine learning.

title: Dealing with Noisy Behavioral Analytics in Detection Engineering
Creators: name: Hutchinson, Sean
Publisher: name: Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023

description: Detection engineers and threat hunters understand that targeting adversary behaviors is an essential part of an effective detection strategy. Yet, inherent in focusing analytics on adversary behaviors is that malicious behavior will often enough overlap with benign behavior in your environment, especially as adversaries try to blend in. In this post, Sean Hutchinson, an engineer in the SEI CERT Division, presents a process for tuning and related work you can do to make such analytics more viable in your environment. Hutchinson also briefly discusses correlation, an alternative and complementary means to manage noisy analytic outputs.

description: The vaccination campaign against SARS-CoV-2 relies on the world-wide availability of effective vaccines, with a potential need of 20 billion vaccine doses to fully vaccinate the world population. To reach this goal, the manufacturing and logistic processes should be affordable to all countries, irrespective of economical and climatic conditions. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are bacterial-derived vesicles that can be engineered to incorporate heterologous antigens. Given the inherent adjuvanticity, such modified OMVs can be used as vaccines to induce potent immune responses against the associated proteins. Here, we show that OMVs engineered to incorporate peptides derived from the receptor binding motif (RBM) of the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 elicit an effective immune response in vaccinated mice, resulting in the production of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) with a titre higher than 1:300. The immunity induced by the vaccine is sufficient to protect the animals from intranasal challenge with SARS-CoV-2, preventing both virus replication in the lungs and the pathology associated with virus infection. Furthermore, we show that OMVs can be effectively decorated with the RBM of the Omicron BA.1 variant and that such engineered OMVs induce nAbs against Omicron BA.1 and BA.5, as measured using the pseudovirus neutralization infectivity assay. Importantly, we show that the RBM438-509 ancestral-OMVs elicited antibodies which efficiently neutralize in vitro both the homologous ancestral strain, the Omicron BA.1 and BA.5 variants with a neutralization titre ranging from 1:100 to 1:1500, suggesting its potential use as a vaccine targeting diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants. Altogether, given the convenience associated with the ease of engineering, production and distribution, our results demonstrate that OMV-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines can be a crucial addition to the vaccines currently available.

description: Building on results of M. Ando, M.J. Hopkins and C. Rezk, we show the existence of uncountably many $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-String orientations of real K-theory KO and of topological modular forms tmf, generalizing the $\hat{A}$- (resp. the Witten) genus. Furthermore, the obstruction to lifting an $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-String orientations from KO to tmf is identified with a classical Iwasawa-theoretic condition. The common key to all these results is a precise understanding of the classical Kummer congruences, imposed for all primes simultaneously. This result is of independent arithmetic interest.

We also show that various cosmological singularities may be removed or changed due to the variability of physical constants.

Year: 2020

description: Reproducible research is necessary to ensure that our scientific output can be independently verified and built upon in future work. But conducting reproducible research requires software development skills that are not usually taught or expected of academic researchers. The Turing Way is an open-source, community-led handbook that supports this knowledge (among others) in an accessible and comprehensible form for everyone. Its moonshot goal is to make reproducible research “too easy not to do”. This talk will guide you through the best practices in computational reproducibility outlined by The Turing Way. I will show you how to version control your code, how to improve its quality, how to test its functionality, and how to make it open-source, using Python as an example. I will also demonstrate how to capture and share your computational environment, and how to incorporate continuous integration techniques into your coding workflow.

title: "For those who have no doorway": Palestinian literature and national consciousness
Creators: name: Schofield, Clemency Mary Lovedere
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the part played by Palestinian literature in the formation of national consciousness. The importance of literature to national and anti-colonial struggles has long been recognised, but in the Palestinian situation it has taken on additional significance. Firstly, in the absence of territory it sought to unite a geographically dispersed people, many of whom had suffered severe trauma on being ejected from their homes and lands. A national imagining was vital to overcome feelings of alienation, both from the land and from other sectors of the population, and to create the idea of a national homeland, based on claims to spatial and historical belonging. Secondly, it had to counter a powerful ideology: that of the Zionist claim to the same land. The land is not just a geographical space; it is invested with memories and narratives, and it comes to embody what it means to be Palestinian. Thus the struggle is not only over the land but also over the meaning of the land. However, when a nationalist struggle is predicated largely on tropes of possession of a feminised land, a specifically gendered conception of national agency emerges, one that envisages the masculine as active and the feminine as passive. This thesis therefore investigates the implications of such an imagining. The question of how women themselves relate to the gendered discourse of nationalism - both how they attempt to insert themselves as national agents and how they contest masculinist tropes - is also considered. Additionally, Palestinian women frequently have to cross the psychologically-imposed threshold between the private and public realms, a division that is reinforced not only by patriarchy but also by fundamentalist visions of nation. In this respect, the significance of literature as an imaginary realm in which dominant paradigms can be questioned and reconfigured must not be underestimated. Finally, this thesis examines how writing helps overcome the sense of alienation associated with exile. A powerful dialectic is at work in exilic consciousness: the here-and-now of the hostile present is countered by the there-and-then of a sustaining past, but it is out of this dialectic that possibilities for the future emerge. I look at the way in which the playful appropriation of exile as the motif of our post-modern consciousness is challenged by much Palestinian exilic writing. Some writers find consolations in the condition of exile, while others reconfigure the meanings of return and journeying. The complexity and multivalent nature of Palestinian writing create a heterogeneous conception of nation that becomes the ideal of an inclusive national consciousness.

description: Transferred mulch from green manure as a new agro-ecological tool against Alternaria solani in organic potato cultivation Due to climate change, the frequency of early summer drought in Central Europe is increasing. These climatic conditions favour the infestation of potatoes with Alternaria solani. Organic potato production systems avoid the use of fungicides and reduce the infestation in particular through agro-ecological measures.
 In a field trial repeated 4 times in 2017, the transferred mulches straw, triticale, hay and clover-grass were applied two weeks after planting the potatoes and investigated under organic cultivation conditions. Variants without mulch served as controls. After the first occurrence, Alternaria solani was assessed weekly at 4 positions per plot.
 The disease infestation of the pathogen could be significantly slowed down under the transferred mulch (Figure 1). The area under the infestation curve of the control without mulch was significantly higher (p<0.05) than in all mulch variants. The mulch acted as a physical barrier, as previously observed by Sahu et al. (2014) in tomato. This prevented colonisation of leaves by conidia of the soil-borne pathogen (Rotem, 1994). In straw mulch plots, plants may have been weakened by nitrogen immobilisation of the carbon-rich material, which could explain the higher infestation. For small-scale potato production, mulch can be recommended as a tool of applied agroecology against Alternaria solani.

description: The Multiple Depot Ring-Star Problem (MDRSP) is an important combinatorial optimization problem that arises in the context of optical fiber network design, and in applications pertaining to collecting data using stationary sensing devices and autonomous vehicles. Given the locations of a set of customers and a set of depots, the goal is to (i) find a set of simple cycles such that each cycle (ring) passes through a subset of customers and exactly one depot, (ii) assign each non-visited customer to a visited customer or a depot, and (iii) minimize the sum of the routing costs, i.e., the cost of the cycles and the assignment costs. We present a mixed integer linear programming formulation for the MDRSP and propose valid inequalities to strengthen the linear programming relaxation. Furthermore, we present a polyhedral analysis and derive facet-inducing results for the MDRSP. All these results are then used to develop a branch-and-cut algorithm to obtain optimal solutions to the MDRSP. The performance of the branch-and-cut algorithm is evaluated through extensive computational experiments on several classes of test instances.

description: The classical Gauss--Lucas theorem describes the location of the critical points of a polynomial. There is also a hyperbolic version, due to Walsh, in which the role of polynomials is played by finite Blaschke products on the unit disk. We consider similar phenomena for generic inner functions, as well as for certain "locally inner" self-maps of the disk. More precisely, we look at a unit-norm function $f\in H^\infty$ that has an angular derivative on a set of positive measure (on the boundary) and we assume that its inner factor, $I$, is nontrivial. Under certain conditions to be discussed, it follows that $f'$ must also have a nontrivial inner factor, say $J$, and we study the relationship between the boundary singularities of $I$ and $J$. Examples are furnished to show that our sufficient conditions cannot be substantially relaxed.

description: We study low-energy effective field theories for non-Fermi liquids with Fermi surfaces of general dimensions and co-dimensions. When the dimension of Fermi surface is greater than one, low-energy particle-hole excitations remain strongly coupled with each other across the entire Fermi surface. In this case, even the observables that are local in the momentum space (such as the Green's functions) become dependent on the size of the Fermi surface in singular ways, resulting in an ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) mixing. By tuning the dimension and co-dimension of the Fermi surface independently, we find perturbative non-Fermi liquid fixed points controlled by both UV/IR mixing and interactions.

description: We investigate engineering applications of recycled nylon fibers obtained from waste fishing nets, focusing our attention on the use of recycled nylon fibers as tensile reinforcement of cementitious mortars. We begin by characterizing the tensile behavior of both unconditioned and alkali-cured recycled nylon fibers obtained through manual cutting of waste fishing net filaments, with the aim of assessing the resistance of such materials to chemical attacks. Special attention is also given to evaluating the workability of fresh mortar and the possible impacts of contaminants released by waste fishing nets into the environment. Next, we deal with compression and bending tests on cementitious mortars reinforced with recycled nylon fibers, and establish comparisons with the experimental behavior of the unreinforced material and with results given in existing literature. In our analysis of different weight fractions and aspect ratios of the reinforcing fibers, we observe marked increases in the tensile strength (up to +35%) and toughness (up to 13 times greater) of the nylon reinforced mortar, as compared with the unreinforced material. The presented results emphasize the high environmental and mechanical potential of recycled nylon fibers for the reinforcement of sustainable cement mortars.

description: The Church-Turing thesis is one of the pillars of computer science; it postulates that every classical system has equivalent computability power to the so-called Turing machine. While this thesis is crucial for our understanding of computing devices, its implications in other scientific fields have hardly been explored. Here we start this research programme in the context of quantum physics and show that computer science laws have profound implications for some of the most fundamental results of the theory. We first show how they question our knowledge on what a mixed quantum state is, as we identify situations in which ensembles of quantum states defining the same mixed state, indistinguishable according to the quantum postulates, do become distinguishable when prepared by a computer. We also show a new loophole for Bell-like experiments: if some of the parties in a Bell-like experiment use a computer to decide which measurements to make, then the computational resources of an eavesdropper have to be limited in order to have a proper observation of non-locality. Our work opens a new direction in the search for a framework unifying computer science and quantum physics.

description: We study the form factors of the Konishi operator, the prime example of non-protected operators in N=4 SYM theory, via the on-shell unitarity methods. Since the Konishi operator is not protected by supersymmetry, its form factors share many features with those in QCD, such as the occurrence of rational terms and of UV divergences that require renormalization. A subtle point is that this operator depends on the spacetime dimension. This requires a modification when calculating its form factors via unitarity methods. We derive a rigorous prescription that implements this modification to all loop orders and obtain the two-point form factor up to two-loop order and the three-point form factor to one-loop order. From these form factors, we construct an IR-finite cross section type quantity, namely the inclusive decay rate of the (off-shell) Konishi operator to any final (on-shell) state. Via the optical theorem, it is connected to the imaginary part of the two-point correlation function. We extract the Konishi anomalous dimension up to two-loop order from it.

description: Recently R. Pandharipande, J. Solomon and R. Tessler initiated a study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. They conjectured that the generating series of the intersection numbers is a specific solution of a system of PDEs, that they called the open KdV equations. In this paper we show that the open KdV equations are closely related to the equations for the wave function of the KdV hierarchy. This allows us to give an explicit formula for the specific solution in terms of Witten's generating series of the intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable curves.

description: Topological band structures in electronic systems like topological insulators and semimetals give rise to highly unusual physical properties. Analogous topological effects have also been discussed in bosonic systems, but the novel phenomena typically occur only when the system is excited by finite-frequency probes. A mapping recently proposed by Kane and Lubensky [Nat. Phys. 10, 39 (2014)], however, establishes a closer correspondence. It relates the zero-frequency excitations of mechanical systems to topological zero modes of fermions that appear at the edges of an otherwise gapped system. Here we generalize the mapping to systems with an intrinsically gapless bulk. In particular, we construct mechanical counterparts of topological semimetals. The resulting gapless bulk modes are physically distinct from the usual acoustic Goldstone phonons, and appear even in the absence of continuous translation invariance. Moreover, the zero-frequency phonon modes feature adjustable momenta and are topologically protected as long as the lattice coordination is unchanged. Such protected soft modes with tunable wavevector may be useful in designing mechanical structures with fault-tolerant properties.

interoperability

description: The purpose of this iHelp deliverable, D3.5 “Secondary data capture and interoperability I”, a public report, is to act as an inventory of secondary data for the iHelp clinical studies, ensuring that all clinical partners know what has been made available for extracting information from their end-users, mostly patients, but in cases of preventive studies, also the general public. No matter their status (patient, or citizen), end-users in iHelp are study participants, and this is how they are referred to in this document. The deliverable also documents the choices made on what to measure and what to simply ask the study participants to provide, trying to strike a balance between loading people with devices (and cost) but also asking too much of them in terms of data entry. In that respect it is of interest outside the iHelp community, serving as a data collection manual outside of the strict clinical setting.
 This document is delivered in M10 (October 2021), between the two phases of requirement collection. It follows up on the early requirements reported in D2.1, “State of the art and requirements analysis I” in M6 and the discussions between the partners responsible for secondary data collection and the clinical partners. As a result, a mature secondary data inventory has been drafted. It is followed by D2.2, “State of the art and requirements analysis II” in M12, where the final requirements will be documented, possibly leading to some changes in the inventory. Any such changes will be documented in the second version of this deliverable, D3.6 “Secondary data capture and interoperability II”, due in M22 (October 2022).
Gapless spin-liquid phase in an extended spin 1/2 triangular Heisenberg model

description: We numerically study the Heisenberg models on triangular lattices by extending it from the simplest equilateral lattice with only the nearest-neighbor exchange interaction. We show that, by including an additional weak next-nearest-neighbor interaction, a quantum spin-liquid phase is stabilized against the antiferromagnetic order. The spin gap (triplet excitation gap) and spin correlation at long distances decay algebraically with increasing system size at the critical point between the antiferromagnetic phase and the spin-liquid phase. This algebraic behavior continues in the spin-liquid phase as well, indicating the presence of an unconventional critical (algebraic spin-liquid) phase characterized by the dynamical and anomalous critical exponents $z+η\sim1$. Unusually small triplet and singlet excitation energies found in extended points of the Brillouin zone impose constraints on this algebraic spin liquid.

description: This note is to bring to the reader's attention the fact that general relativity and quantum mechanics differ from each other in one main aspect. General relativity is based on the diffeomorphism covariant formulation of the laws of physics while quantum mechanics is constructed such that its fundamental laws remain invariant to a change of topology. It is the goal of this paper to show that in order to obtain a complete description of quantum gravity one has to extend the principle of diffeomorphism invariance from general relativity in the sense of quantum mechanics i.e. the laws of physics must be covariant to a change in the topology of spacetime. On the practical side, I provide an answer to the black hole information paradox: the missing information is permanently encoded in the higher cohomology of the quantum field space allowed by the given situation. Notions like entanglement become dependent on choices of coefficients in cohomology. There remains still an uncertainty principle, namely the one given by the incompatibility of various choices of coefficients required for the construction of the cohomology. In this way the answer to the unitarity problem appears to be : indeed, unitarity is restored, as required by standard quantum mechanics but one still needs an extended uncertainty principle (envisioned already by Hawking) which has an exact formulation in the universal coefficient theorem.
description: I give a possible solution of the so called "information paradox" for black holes. The "missing information" appears to be encoded in a non-trivial way in the topology of the field space
