description: The concept of explainability is envisioned to satisfy society's demands for transparency on machine learning decisions. The concept is simple: like humans, algorithms should explain the rationale behind their decisions so that their fairness can be assessed. While this approach is promising in a local context (e.g. to explain a model during debugging at training time), we argue that this reasoning cannot simply be transposed in a remote context, where a trained model by a service provider is only accessible through its API. This is problematic as it constitutes precisely the target use-case requiring transparency from a societal perspective. Through an analogy with a club bouncer (which may provide untruthful explanations upon customer reject), we show that providing explanations cannot prevent a remote service from lying about the true reasons leading to its decisions. More precisely, we prove the impossibility of remote explainability for single explanations, by constructing an attack on explanations that hides discriminatory features to the querying user. We provide an example implementation of this attack. We then show that the probability that an observer spots the attack, using several explanations for attempting to find incoherences, is low in practical settings. This undermines the very concept of remote explainability in general.

description: We present a rigorous, detailed study of the generic, quantitative properties of gravitational microlensing near cusp catastrophes. We derive explicit formulas for the total magnification and centroid of the images created for sources outside, on, and inside the cusped caustic. We obtain results on how the image magnifications scale with respect to separation from the cusped caustic for arbitrary source positions. Along the axis of symmetry of the cusp, the total magnification $μ$ scales as $μ\propto u^{-1}$, where $u$ is the distance of the source from the cusp, whereas perpendicular to this axis, $μ\propto u^{-2/3}$. When the source passes through a point $\bu_0$ on a fold arc abutting the cusp, the image centroid has a jump discontinuity; we present a formula for the size of the jump in terms of the local derivatives of the lens potential. The total magnifications for a small extended source located both on, and perpendicular to, the axis of symmetry are also derived, for both uniform and limb darkened surface brightness profiles. We find that the difference in magnification between a finite and point source is $< 5%$ for separations of $> 2.5$ source radii from the cusp point, while the effect of limb-darkening is $< 1%$ in the same range. Our predictions for the astrometric and photometric behavior of both pointlike and finite sources passing near a cusp are illustrated and verified using numerical simulations of the cusp-crossing Galactic binary-lens event MACHO-1997-BUL-28. We discuss several possible applications of our results to Galactic binary lenses and quasar microlensing.

description: We report the first evidence for high-mass star formation triggered by collisions of molecular clouds in M33. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, we spatially resolved filamentary structures of giant molecular cloud 37 in M33 using $^{12}$CO($J$ = 2-1), $^{13}$CO($J$ = 2-1), and C$^{18}$O($J$ = 2-1) line emission at a spatial resolution of $\sim$2 pc. There are two individual molecular clouds with a systematic velocity difference of $\sim$6 km s$^{-1}$. Three continuum sources representing up to $\sim$10 high-mass stars with the spectral types of B0V-O7.5V are embedded within the densest parts of molecular clouds bright in the C$^{18}$O($J$ = 2-1) line emission. The two molecular clouds show a complementary spatial distribution with a spatial displacement of $\sim$6.2 pc, and show a V-shaped structure in the position-velocity diagram. These observational features traced by CO and its isotopes are consistent with those in high-mass star-forming regions created by cloud-cloud collisions in the Galactic and Magellanic Cloud HII regions. Our new finding in M33 indicates that the cloud-cloud collision is a promising process to trigger high-mass star formation in the Local Group.

description: The reading comprehension levels of students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) are low compared to those of their hearing peers. One possible reason for this low reading levels is related to the students’ prior knowledge. This study investigated the potential factors that might affected DHH students’ prior knowledge, including their degree of hearing loss, the presence or absence of family members with a hearing loss, and educational stage (elementary–middle school). The study also examined the contribution of prior knowledge in predicting DHH students’ reading comprehension levels, and investigated the differences in the students’ scores based on the type of questions, including text-explicit (TE), text-implicit (TI), and script-implicit (SI) questions. Thirty-one elementary and middle-school students completed a demographic form and assessment, and descriptive statistics and multiple and simple linear regressions were used to answer the research questions. The findings indicated that the independent variables—degree of hearing loss, presence or absence of family members with hearing loss, and educational stage—explained little of the variance in DHH students’ prior knowledge. Further, the results showed that the DHH students’ prior knowledge affected their reading comprehension. Finally, the result demonstrated that the participants were able to answer more of the TI questions correctly than the TE and SI questions. The study concluded that prior knowledge is important in these students’ reading comprehension, and it is also important for teachers and parents of DHH children to use effective ways to increase their students and children’s prior knowledge.

description: An optimal universal cloning transformation is derived that produces M copies of an unknown qubit from a pair of orthogonal qubits. For M>6, the corresponding cloning fidelity is higher than that of the optimal copying of a pair of identical qubits. It is shown that this cloning transformation can be implemented probabilistically via parametric down-conversion by feeding the signal and idler modes of a nonlinear crystal with orthogonally polarized photons.

description: Fast and high-fidelity quantum state detection is essential for building robust spin-based quantum information processing platforms in semiconductors. The Pauli spin blockade (PSB)-based spin-to-charge conversion and its variants are widely used for the spin state discrimination of two-electron singlet-triplet (ST$_0$) qubits; however, the single-shot measurement fidelity is limited by either the low signal contrast, or the short lifetime of the triplet state at the PSB energy detuning, especially due to strong mixing with singlet states at large magnetic field gradients. Ultimately, the limited single-shot measurement fidelity leads to low visibility of quantum operations. Here, we demonstrate an alternative method to achieve spin-to-charge conversion of ST$_0$ qubit states using energy selective tunneling between doubly occupied quantum dots (QDs) and electron reservoirs. We demonstrate a single-shot measurement fidelity of 90% and an S-T$_0$ oscillation visibility of 81% at a field gradient of 100 mT (~ 500 $MHz\cdot h \cdot(g^{*}\cdot μ_B)^{-1}$); this allows single-shot readout with full electron charge signal contrast and, at the same time, long and tunable measurement time with negligible effect of relaxation even at strong magnetic field gradients. Using an rf-sensor positioned opposite to the QD array, we apply this method to two ST$_0$ qubits and show high-visibility readout of two individual single-qubit gate operations is possible with a single rf single-electron transistor sensor. We expect our measurement scheme for two-electron spin states can be applied to various hosting materials and provides a simplified and complementary route for multiple qubit state detection with high accuracy in QD-based quantum computing platforms.

description: From SDSS commissioning photometric and spectroscopic data, we investigate the utility of photometric redshift techniques to the task of estimating QSO redshifts. We consider empirical methods (e.g. nearest-neighbor searches and polynomial fitting), standard spectral template fitting and hybrid approaches (i.e. training spectral templates from spectroscopic and photometric observations of QSOs). We find that in all cases, due to the presence of strong emission-lines within the QSO spectra, the nearest-neighbor and template fitting methods are superior to the polynomial fitting approach. Applying a novel reconstruction technique, we can, from the SDSS multicolor photometry, reconstruct a statistical representation of the underlying SEDs of the SDSS QSOs. Although, the reconstructed templates are based on only broadband photometry the common emission lines present within the QSO spectra can be recovered in the resulting spectral energy distributions. The technique should be useful in searching for spectral differences among QSOs at a given redshift, in searching for spectral evolution of QSOs, in comparing photometric redshifts for objects beyond the SDSS spectroscopic sample with those in the well calibrated photometric redshifts for objects brighter than 20th magnitude and in searching for systematic and time variable effects in the SDSS broad band photometric and spectral photometric calibrations.

description: Tapered specimens were used for an accelerated test technique to study the crack initiation of high Si stainless steel by means of constant elongation rate tensile testing in a simulated pressurised water reactor environment. Detailed crack density distributions were obtained by applying an advanced crack detection algorithm on iteratively displaced scanning electron microscopy pictures featuring stress corrosion cracks along the specimen’s gauge length. By means of finite-element analysis, prominent peaks in the crack density graphs are demonstrated to be related to stress relief and stress build-up during the crack initiation phase. Intrinsic scatter related to the crack detection suggests that stress corrosion cracking is independent of the strain-rate for strain-rates lower than 10−6 s−1. Based on the extrapolation to constant load conditions, the critical threshold value for the duplex high Si stainless steel is estimated to be around 580 MPa.

description: This body of work has examined a range of easily quantifiable circulating biomarkers in a cohort of 50 patients with aneurysms of the arch and descending thoracic aorta. I have described within this thesis various obstacles (logistical and biological) to identifying biomarkers of aneurysm progression. Despite these challenges, I have created a unique dataset quantifying plasma proteins and PBMC-RNAs in a cohort of 50 AD patients with measurements of growth or clinical progression over 2 years. Analysis of my dataset indicates that: a) aortic size alone is not a good predictor of growth b) prediction of future growth can be improved by combining plasma protein measurements with aortic size: dAoD/dT = 0.43(baseline indexed AoD) -1.5(logTGFB1) -0.86(logIL2) dAoV/dT = 1.57(baseline indexed AoD) +0.01(logTGFB1) -22.5(logIL2) c) wall stress estimations appear to provide even more robust predictions of future growth d) PBMC-RNA profiling could be useful as a diagnostic tool to detect patients with AD aneurysms.

description: High pressure Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is known to uncover behavior of matter at extreme conditions. However, significant maintenance demands, space requirements and high costs of superconducting magnets render its application unfeasible for regular modern high pressure laboratories. Here, we present a table-top NMR system based on permanent Halbach magnet arrays with dimensions of 25 cm diameter and 4 cm height. At the highest field of 1013 mT, 1H-NMR spectra of Ice VII have been recorded at 25 GPa and ambient temperature. The table-top NMR system can be used together with double sided laser heating set-ups. Feasibility of high-pressure high-temperature NMR was demonstrated by collecting 1H-NMR spectra of H2O at 25 GPa and 1063(50) K. We found that the change in signal intensity in laser-heated NMR diamond anvil cell yields a convenient way for temperature measurements.

description: In the TeV energy region and above, the uncertainty in the level of prompt atmospheric neutrinos would limit the search for diffuse astrophysical neutrinos. We suggest that neutrino telescopes may provide an empirical determination of the flux of prompt atmospheric electron and muon neutrinos by measuring the flux of prompt down-going muons. Our suggestion is based on the consideration that prompt neutrino and prompt muon fluxes at sea level are almost identical.

description: There are strong indications that ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, produced in accelarators, lead to the formation of a new state of matter: the quark gluon plasma (QGP). This deconfined QCD matter is expected to exist just for very short times after the collision. All the information one can get about the plasma is obtained from the particles that reach the detectors. Among them, heavy vector mesons are particularly important. The abundance of $ c {\bar c}$ and $b {\bar b}$ states produced in a heavy ion collision is a source of information about the plasma. In contrast to the light mesons, that completely dissociate when the plasma is formed, heavy mesons presumably undergo a partial thermal dissociation. The dissociation degree depends on the temperature and also on the presence of magnetic fields and on the density (chemical potential). So, in order to get information about the plasma out of the quarkonium abundance data, one needs to resort to models that provide the dependence of the dissociation degree on these factors. Holographic phenomenological models provide a nice description for charmonium and bottomonium quasi-states in a plasma. In particular, quasi-normal modes associated with quarkonia states have been studied recently for a plasma with magnetic fields. Here we extend this analysis of quasinormal models to the case when charmonium and bottomonium are inside a plasma with finite density. The complex frequencies obtained are then compared with a Breit Wigner approximation for the peaks of the corresponding thermal spectral functions, in order to investigate the quantitative agreement of the different descriptions of quarkonium quasi-states.

description: Following our previous investigation of the USA Standard and Poor index anti-bubble that started in August 2000, we analyze thirty eight world stock market indices and identify 21 anti-bubble. An ``anti-bubble'' is defined as a self-fulfilling decreasing price created by positive price-to-price feedbacks feeding overall pessimism and negative market sentiment further strengthened by inter-personal interactions. We mathematically characterize anti-bubbles by a power law decrease of the price (or of the logarithm of the price) as a function of time and by decelerating/expanding log-periodic oscillations. The majority of European and Western stock market indices as well as other stock indices exhibit practically the same log-periodic power law anti-bubble structure as found for the USA S&P500 index. These anti-bubbles are found to start approximately at the same time, August 2000, in all these markets. This shows a remarkable degree of synchronization worldwide. The descent of the worldwide stock markets since 2000 is thus an international event, suggesting the strengthening of globalization.

description: The lepton flavor universality violating (LFUV) measurements $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ in $B$ meson decays can be accounted for in non-universal $Z'$ models. We constrain the couplings of these $Z'$ models by performing a global fit to correlated $b \to s \ell \ell$ and $b \to d \ell \ell $ processes, and calculate their possible implications for $B_s \to \bar{K}^*\ell \ell$ observables. For real new physics (NP) couplings, the 1-$σ$ favored parameters allow the corresponding LFUV ratio $R_{K^*}^{(s)}$ in $B_s \to \bar{K}^*\ell \ell$ to range between 0.8 -- 1.2 at low $q^2$. Complex NP couplings improve the best fit only marginally, however they allow a significant enhancement of the branching ratio, while increasing the range of $R_{K^*}^{(s)}$ at low $q^2$ to 0.8 -- 1.8. We find that NP could cause zero-crossing in the forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$ to shift towards lower $q^2$ values, and enhancement in the magnitude of integrated $A_{FB}$. The $CP$ asymmetry $A_{CP}$ may be suppressed and even change sign. The simultaneous measurements of integrated $R_{K^*}^{(s)}$ and $A_{CP}$ values to 0.1 and 1% respectively, would help in constraining the effective NP Wilson coefficient $C_9$ in $ b \to d μμ$ interactions.

description: Europe's wood construction sector is a global leader in technlogy and innovation, which is based on long traditions with wood building and continuous research and development efforts of leading companies and the research community over the past decades. Growing interest in green building and decarbonization have led to a boom in wood construction in Europe. Major challenges for the future development are climate-impacts in forests, such as increasing disturbances and long-term changes towards more mixed forests, a lack of skilled workers, and a complex European policy context related to forests. New policy and training initiatives are starting to address these through joint European advocacy and collaboration.

Keynote presentation at the "Drivers for Wood Construction conference (DWC 2025)" from 13-14 Feb 2025, hosted by the Karelia University of Applied Sciences, University of Eastern Finland, Luke the Natural Resources Institute Finland, and the European Forest Institute EFI, co-funded by the European Union.

description: A 40 ks \emph{Chandra} ACIS-S observation of the dynamically young cluster A1367 yields new insights on X-ray emission from cluster member galaxies. We detect 59 point-like sources in the ACIS field, of which 8 are identified with known cluster member galaxies. Thus, in total 10 member galaxies are detected in X-rays when three galaxies discussed in paper I (Sun & Murray 2002; NGC 3860 is discussed in both papers) are included. The superior spatial resolution and good spectroscopy capability of \chandra allow us to constrain the emission nature of these galaxies. Central nuclei, thermal halos and stellar components are revealed in their spectra. Two new low luminosity nuclei (LLAGN) are found, including an absorbed one (NGC 3861). Besides these two for sure, two new candidates of LLAGN are also found. This discovery makes the LLAGN/AGN content in this part of A1367 very high ($\gsim$ 12%). Thermal halos with temperatures around 0.5 - 0.8 keV are revealed in the spectra of NGC 3842 and NGC 3837, which suggests that Galactic coronae can survive in clusters and heat conduction must be suppressed. The X-ray spectrum of NGC 3862 (3C 264) resembles a BL Lac object with a photon index of $\sim$ 2.5. We also present an analysis of other point sources in the field and discuss the apparent source excess ($\sim$ 2.5 $σ$) in the central field.

description: Two types of divinities predominate in Plato’s later dialogues, the traditional and cosmic gods. This thesis focuses on the traditional gods and inquires into their cosmological status and function in the Timaeus and the Critias as well as the ethical value of civic religion in the Laws. In the first chapter, I discuss the place of traditional gods in the cosmogony of the Timaeus. I argue that the dialogue preserves only a few elements of the conventional religious language and, in general, challenges the beliefs based on the religious tradition. Nonetheless, the dialogue follows the tradition insofar as the creation of the universe begins with the birth of Ouranos and Gaia, whom the dialogue also regards as the parents of traditional gods. In this way, it integrates the traditional theogony into the general cosmogony. The second chapter explores the role of traditional gods in Plato’s narratives of human origins. I argue that the Timaeus makes the traditional and cosmic gods jointly responsible for the creation of human beings as ensouled mortal animals. But the shared function is lost in the Critias, where only the traditional gods remain accountable for the origins of the first cities. Consequently, the Platonic anthropogony and politogony should be viewed as discontinuous in their explanatory schemes. Finally, the third chapter addresses the relationship between ethics and civic religion in the Laws. I argue that the ideal of godlikeness becomes both the main ethical and the central religious principle in the dialogue. In particular, the ordinary citizens of Plato’s last utopia are required to imitate the traditional gods in various religious events and settings by practising the moral virtues. For this reason, I analyse the ways in which the religious institutions of Magnesia are capable of responding to basic psychological challenges and thus providing resources for training, testing, and demonstrating the virtuous character of its citizens. Overall, traditional religious ideas constitute an integral part of Plato’s later dialogues: the traditional gods play an explanatory role in Plato’s accounts of origins, while civic religion contributes towards fostering ethical development of human beings.

description: Static and stationary cylindrically symmetric space-times in general relativity are considered, supported by distributions of cosmic strings stretched in the azimuthal ($φ$), longitudinal ($z$) or radial ($x$) directions or and by pairs of mutually opposite radiation flows in any of these directions. For such systems, exact solutions are obtained and briefly discussed, except for radial strings (a stationary solution for them is not found); it is shown that static solutions with $z$- and $φ$-directed radiation flows do not exist, while for $z$-directed strings a solution is only possible with negative energy density. Almost all solutions under discussion contain singularities, and all stationary solutions have regions with closed timelike curves, hence only their well-behaved regions admit application to real physical situations.

description: Asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes display intriguing phenomena which have recently sparked increasing interest in the research of gravitational solutions in these spaces. Considerable motivation stems from gauge/gravity duality, which is a conjecture relating classical gravity with a negative cosmological constant to strongly coupled quantum field theories. In this dissertation, we present novel stationary, asymptotically AdS black hole and soliton solutions, which we construct numerically. We employ numerical techniques which have been successfully used to tackle the complexities of the Einstein equations, and allow us to study the fully non-linear systems in unparalleled detail. We present a numerical study of rotating and charged hairy black hole solutions in five-dimensional AdS, which originate from a consistent truncation of $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity, and can be uplifted to the type IIB supergravity with AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ asymptotics. The hairy black holes have one scalar field charged under a $U(1)$ gauge field, and branch from the near-extremal black holes due to the superradiant instability. We give numerical evidence that the hairy solutions exist arbitrarily close to the BPS bound for all charges, which is saturated in the zero and infinite temperature limits. We compute the phase diagram, and analyse the thermodynamics across different ensembles. Finally, we conjecture the existence of a one-parameter hairy solution extension of the known supersymetric black hole in this theory. Our work demonstrates the importance and complexity of black hole solutions with scalar condensate in supergravity. It also opens new possibilities to resolve a long-standing problem in Maldacena's original AdS/CFT correspondence, namely the understanding of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of supersymmetric black holes in terms of microstate counting. The study of gravitational solutions in AdS also provides valuable insights into classical phenomena in general relativity. In particular, superradiance has been important in the context of the weak cosmic censorship hypothesis. In order to study this relationship, we constructed novel four-dimensional asymptotically global AdS solutions by turning on a dipolar differential rotation at the conformal boundary. At fixed energy and boundary profile, we find two different geometries: a horizonless AdS soliton, and a deformed black hole. Both solutions develop an ergoregion attached to the boundary, and are superradiantly unstable. We discuss the intricate phase diagram which exhibits up to six-fold degeneracy, and the implications of our results for weak cosmic censorship and the corresponding dual field theory at strong coupling.

description: Objective: Treatment of sleep bruxism (SB) in children is not well established. The aim of this study was to develop evidence-based recommendations on SB therapy in children between the ages of 2 and 17. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Literature searches were performed using MedLine (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library (November 30 2017). Results: The search strategy identified 268 potential articles; 10 papers were included in the qualitative synthesis and 3 in the meta-analysis, for a total of 94 patients. Hydroxyzine therapy showed the strongest efficacy on SB (OR 10.63; CI 95%, 1.48 to 76.08). Flurazepam and Melissa officinalis therapies presented lower grades of association with decreased SB symptoms. Conclusions: Data on treatments of SB in children are limited. Future studies with a proper design, conducted on a meaningful number of patients, and based on standardized and developed diagnostic criteria are desperately needed.

description: The study `attempted to assess the profitability of producing both Golda and Aman paddy farming and to explore the effects of key inputs on production processes of Golda and Aman paddy. Two villages of Pankhali Union in Dacope Upazila of Khulna district in Bangladesh were selected purposively for the study. In total, 120 farmers, at the rate of 60 from each enterprise, were randomly selected for the study. Descriptive statistics, activity budgets, Cobb-Douglas production function model were employed to achieve the objectives. The major findings of the study were that both T. Aman paddy and Golda production were profitable. Per hectare total cost, gross return and net return of Golda farming were estimated at Tk169,274.00, 123,256.00 and 75,226.00, respectively. Similarly, per hectare total cost, gross return and net return of T. Aman farming were Tk 33,097.00, 59,723.00 and 26,626.00, respectively. It was observed that coefficients of post larva, human labour, feed and stocking of others fish fry were positive and had significant impact on gross returns of Golda. Similarly, the coefficient of human labour, power tiller and insecticide were positive and had significant impacts on gross returns of T. Aman paddy production. Finally, findings of the study rule out some policy recommendations.
Adaptive IGAFEM with optimal convergence rates: T-splines

description: We consider an adaptive algorithm for finite element methods for the isogeometric analysis (IGAFEM) of elliptic (possibly non-symmetric) second-order partial differential equations. We employ analysis-suitable T-splines of arbitrary odd degree on T-meshes generated by the refinement strategy of [Morgenstern, Peterseim, Comput. Aided Geom. Design 34 (2015)] in 2D and [Morgenstern, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 54 (2016)] in 3D. Adaptivity is driven by some weighted residual a posteriori error estimator. We prove linear convergence of the error estimator (which is equivalent to the sum of energy error plus data oscillations) with optimal algebraic rates with respect to the number of elements of the underlying mesh.

description: In an ongoing infrared imaging survey of quasars at Keck Observatory, we have discovered that the z=1.285 quasar SDSS J233646.2-010732.6 comprises two point sources with a separation of 1.67". Resolved spectra show that one component is a standard quasar with a blue continuum and broad emission lines; the other is a broad absorption line (BAL) quasar, specifically, a BAL QSO with prominent absorption from MgII and metastable FeII, making it a member of the ``FeLoBAL'' class. The number of known FeLoBALs has recently grown dramatically from a single example to more than a dozen, including a gravitationally lensed example and the binary member presented here, suggesting that this formerly rare object may be fairly common. Additionally, the presence of this BAL quasar in a relatively small separation binary adds to the growing evidence that the BAL phenomenon is not due to viewing a normal quasar at a specific orientation, but rather that it is an evolutionary phase in the life of many, if not all, quasars, and is particularly associated with conditions found in interacting systems.

Through the relation between this theory and the Landau model on a torus, we study the entanglement between the particle and the electromagnetic field. In particular, we compute the entanglement entropy in the ground state, which is degenerate, obtaining how it varies in the degeneracy subspace.
