description: In this paper, we investigate, in the framework of the topological approach to black hole thermodynamics, using the generalized off-shell Helmholtz free energy, the topological numbers of the static multi-charge AdS black holes in four- and five-dimensional gauged supergravities. We find that the topological number of the static-charged AdS black holes in four-dimensional Kaluza-Klein (K-K) gauged supergravity theory is $W = 0$, while that of the static-charged AdS black holes in four-dimensional gauged $-iX^0X^1$-supergravity and STU gauged supergravity theories, and five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion (EMDA) gauged supergravity and STU gauged supergravity, and five-dimensional static-charged AdS Horowitz-Sen black hole are both $W = 1$. Furthermore, we observe a novel temperature-dependent thermodynamic topological phase transition that can happen in the four-dimensional static-charged AdS black hole in EMDA gauged supergravity theory, the four-dimensional static-charged AdS Horowitz-Sen black hole, and the five-dimensional static-charged AdS black hole in K-K gauged supergravity theory. We believe that the novel temperature-dependent thermodynamic topological phase transition could help us better understand black hole thermodynamics and, further, shed new light on the fundamental nature of gauged supergravity theories.

description: In industrial scenarios, there is widespread use of collaborative robots (cobots), and growing interest is directed at evaluating and measuring the impact of some characteristics of the cobot on the human factor. In the present pilot study, the effect that the production rhythm (C1 - Slow, C2 - Fast, C3 - Adapted to the participant's pace) of a cobot has on the Experiential Locus of Control (ELoC) and the emotional state of 31 participants has been examined. The operators' performance, the degree of basic internal Locus of Control, and the attitude towards the robots were also considered. No difference was found regarding the emotional state and the ELoC in the three conditions, but considering the other psychological variables, a more complex situation emerges. Overall, results seem to indicate a need to consider the person's psychological characteristics to offer a differentiated and optimal interaction experience.

Fast and Slow Crystallization-driven Convection in White Dwarfs

description: We investigate crystallization-driven convection in carbon-oxygen white dwarfs. We present a version of the mixing length theory (MLT) that self-consistently includes the effects of thermal diffusion and composition gradients, and provides solutions for the convective parameters based on the local heat and composition fluxes. Our formulation smoothly transitions between the regimes of fast adiabatic convection at large Peclet number and slow thermohaline convection at low Peclet number. It also allows for both thermally-driven and compositionally-driven convection, including correctly accounting for the direction of heat transport for compositionally-driven convection in a thermally-stable background. We use the MESA stellar evolution code to calculate the composition and heat fluxes during crystallization in different models of cooling white dwarfs, and determine the regime of convection and the convective velocity. We find that convection occurs in the regime of slow thermohaline convection during most of the cooling history of the star. However, at the onset of crystallization, the composition flux is large enough to drive fast overturning convection for a short time ($\sim 10\ \mathrm{Myr}$). We estimate the convective velocities in both of these phases and discuss the implications for explaining observed white dwarf magnetic fields with crystallization-driven dynamos.

description: The kaon parton distribution functions (PDFs) are poorly known due to paucity of kaon-induced Drell-Yan data. Nevertheless, these Drell-Yan data suggest a softer valence $u$ quark distribution of kaon than that of pion. We discuss the opportunity to constrain kaon PDFs utilizing existing kaon-induced $J/ψ$ production data. We compare the $K^- / π^-$ and $K^+ / π^+$ cross-section ratio data with calculations based on two global-fit parametrizations and two recent theoretical predictions for the kaon and pion PDFs, and test the results with two quarkonium production models. The $K^- / π^-$ cross-section ratio for $J/ψ$ production provides independent evidence of different valence quark distributions in pion and kaon. The $K^+ / π^+$ $J/ψ$ data are found to be sensitive to the gluon distribution in kaon. We show that these $J/ψ$ production data provide valuable constraints for evaluating the adequacy of currently available sets of kaon PDFs.

description: The Tanzanian Rift is a large area of north-central Tanzania in which speakers of different language phyla (as well as the language isolate Hadza) have been in contact for a long time. While language contact has been persuasively argued, questions about the social and political nature of contact between speakers of these languages remain largely unaddressed. One emerging hypothesis is that the peoples of the Tanzanian Rift developed and maintained contact through overarching cosmologies of physical, spiritual, and environmental restoration, frequently mediated through metaphors and practices related to rain. This talk: provides an interdisciplinary survey of the existing evidence in support of such a hypothesis; and outlines the first steps in initial inquiries.

A metronome spin stabilizes time-crystalline dynamics

description: We investigate a disorder-free quantum Ising chain subject to a time-periodic drive that rotates each spin by an angle $π(1-ε_i)$. In case all spins experience the same deviation $ε$ and the system is initialized in a fully polarized state, the dynamics is known to be time-crystalline: the magnetization of the system exhibits period-doubled oscillations for timescales that grow exponentially with the length of the chain. In this work, we study the effect of a deviation $ε$ that differs between spins. We find that reducing $ε$ for a single spin drastically enhances the lifetime of spatio-temporal order, suggesting the name ``metronome" spin. Employing perturbative arguments in an average Hamiltonian picture, we explain this observation for initial states with macroscopic bulk magnetization. Furthermore, in the case of random bitstring initial states, we report the enhancement of the lifetime of a topological edge mode, which can also be understood in the same picture. Finally, we discuss an altered geometry in which the metronome spin is not directly part of the chain, affecting the dynamics in different ways in the two scenarios considered. Our findings unveil the intricate dynamics that emerge in Floquet systems under the influence of a spatially varying drive, thereby uncovering new avenues for Floquet engineering.

Pursuit problem with a stochastic prey that sees its chasers

description: A recent stochastic pursuit model describes a pack of chasers (hounds) that actively move toward a target (hare) that undergoes pure Brownian diffusion (Bernardi and Lindner 2022 Phys. Rev. Lett. 128 040601). Here, this model is extended by introducing a deterministic ‘escape term’, which depends on the hounds’ positions. In other words, the hare can ‘see’ the approaching hounds and run away from them, in addition to the ‘blind’ random diffusion. In the case of a single chaser, the mean capture time (CT) can still be computed analytically. At weak noise, the qualitative behavior of the system depends on whether the hare’s maximum running drift speed is above or below a critical value (the pursuers’ speed), but not on the target’s viewing range, whereas the capture statistics at strong noise is similar to those of the original model without escape term. When multiple hounds are present, the behavior of the system is surprisingly similar to the original model with purely diffusing target, because the escape terms tend to compensate each other if the prey is encircled. At weak noise levels and ‘supracritical’ maximum escape speed, the hare can slip through the chaser pack and lead to a very strong increase of the mean CT with respect to the blind case. This large difference is due to rare events, which are enhanced when the symmetry in the initial conditions is disrupted by some randomness. Comparing the median of the CT probability density (which reflects the typical CT) with the mean CT makes clear the contribution of rare events with exceptionally long CTs.

description: We tackle the challenge of building real-world multimodal assistants for complex real-world tasks. We describe the practicalities and challenges of developing and deploying GRILLBot, a leading (first and second prize winning in 2022 and 2023) system deployed in the Alexa Prize TaskBot Challenge. Building on our Open Assistant Toolkit (OAT) framework, we propose a hybrid architecture that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) and specialised models tuned for specific subtasks requiring very low latency. OAT allows us to define when, how and which LLMs should be used in a structured and deployable manner. For knowledge-grounded question answering and live task adaptations, we show that LLM reasoning abilities over task context and world knowledge outweigh latency concerns. For dialogue state management, we implement a code generation approach and show that specialised smaller models have 84% effectiveness with 100x lower latency. Overall, we provide insights and discuss tradeoffs for deploying both traditional models and LLMs to users in complex real-world multimodal environments in the Alexa TaskBot challenge. These experiences will continue to evolve as LLMs become more capable and efficient -- fundamentally reshaping OAT and future assistant architectures.

description: We analyze the spin-orbit coupling effects in a three-degree twisted bilayer heterostructure made of graphene and an in-plane ferroelectric SnTe, with the goal of transferring the spin-orbit coupling from SnTe to graphene, via the proximity effect. Our results indicate that the point-symmetry breaking due to the incompatible mutual symmetry of the twisted monolayers and a strong hybridization has a massive impact on the spin splitting in graphene close to the Dirac point, with the spin splitting values greater than 20 meV. The band structure and spin expectation values of graphene close to the Dirac point can be described using a symmetry-free model, triggering different types of interaction with respect to the threefold symmetric graphene/transition-metal dichalcogenide heterostructure. We show that the strong hybridization of the Dirac cone's right movers with the SnTe band gives rise to a large asymmetric spin splitting in the momentum space. Furthermore, we discover that the ferroelectricity-induced Rashba spin-orbit coupling in graphene is the dominant contribution to the overall Rashba field, with the effective in-plane electric field that is almost aligned with the (in-plane) ferroelectricity direction of the SnTe monolayer. We also predict an anisotropy of the in-plane spin relaxation rates. Our results demonstrate that the group-IV monochalcogenides MX (M=Sn, Ge; X=S, Se, Te) are a viable alternative to transition-metal dichalcogenides for inducing strong spin-orbit coupling in graphene.

description: We show that the abundance of primordial black holes, if formed through the collapse of large fluctuations generated during inflation and unless the power spectrum of the curvature perturbation is very peaked, is always dominated by the broadest profile of the compaction function, even though statistically it is not the most frequent. The corresponding threshold is therefore 2/5. This result exacerbates the tension when combining the primordial black hole abundance with the signal seen by pulsar timing arrays and originated from gravitational waves induced by the same large primordial perturbations.

description: This review provides a conceptual and technical survey of methods for parameter estimation of gravitational wave signals in ground-based interferometers such as LIGO and Virgo. We introduce the framework of Bayesian inference and provide an overview of models for the generation and detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers, focusing on the essential features that are observable in the signals. Within the traditional likelihood-based paradigm, we describe various approaches for enhancing the efficiency and robustness of parameter inference. This includes techniques for accelerating likelihood evaluations, such as heterodyne/relative binning, reduced-order quadrature, multibanding and interpolation. We also cover methods to simplify the analysis to improve convergence, via reparametrization, importance sampling and marginalization. We end with a discussion of recent developments in the application of likelihood-free (simulation-based) inference methods to gravitational wave data analysis.

What Generative Artificial Intelligence Means for Terminological Definitions

description: This paper examines the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT on the creation and consumption of terminological definitions. From the terminologist's point of view, the strategic use of GenAI tools can streamline the process of crafting definitions, reducing both time and effort, while potentially enhancing quality. GenAI tools enable AI-assisted terminography, notably post-editing terminography, where the machine produces a definition that the terminologist then corrects or refines. However, the potential of GenAI tools to fulfill all the terminological needs of a user, including term definitions, challenges the very existence of terminological definitions and resources as we know them. Unlike terminological definitions, GenAI tools can describe the knowledge activated by a term in a specific context. However, a main drawback of these tools is that their output can contain errors. For this reason, users requiring reliability will likely still resort to terminological resources for definitions. Nevertheless, with the inevitable integration of AI into terminology work, the distinction between human-created and AI-created content will become increasingly blurred.

description: The solution approximation for partial differential equations (PDEs) can be substantially improved using smooth basis functions. The recently introduced mollified basis functions are constructed through mollification, or convolution, of cell-wise defined piecewise polynomials with a smooth mollifier of certain characteristics. The properties of the mollified basis functions are governed by the order of the piecewise functions and the smoothness of the mollifier. In this work, we exploit the high-order and high-smoothness properties of the mollified basis functions for solving PDEs through the point collocation method. The basis functions are evaluated at a set of collocation points in the domain. In addition, boundary conditions are imposed at a set of boundary collocation points distributed over the domain boundaries. To ensure the stability of the resulting linear system of equations, the number of collocation points is set larger than the total number of basis functions. The resulting linear system is overdetermined and is solved using the least square technique. The presented numerical examples confirm the convergence of the proposed approximation scheme for Poisson, linear elasticity, and biharmonic problems. We study in particular the influence of the mollifier and the spatial distribution of the collocation points.

description: Navigating the intricacies of thermal management at the quantum scale is a challenge in the pursuit of advanced nanoscale technologies. To this extent, theoretical frameworks introducing minimal models mirroring the functionality of electronic current amplifiers and transistors, for instance, have been proposed. Different architectures of the subsystems composing a quantum thermal device can be considered, tacitly bringing drawbacks or advantages if properly engineered. This paper extends the prior research on thermotronics, studying a strongly coupled three-subsystem thermal device with a specific emphasis on a third excited level in the control subsystem. Our setup can be employed as a multipurpose device conditioned on the specific choice of internal parameters: heat switch, rectifier, stabilizer, and amplifier. The exploration of the detuned levels unveils a key role in the performance and working regime of the device. We observe a stable and strong amplification effect persisting over broad ranges of temperature. We conclude that considering a three-level system, as the one directly in contact with the control temperature, boosts output currents and the ability to operate our devices as a switch at various temperatures.
title: Increasing the Confidence of In Silico Modelling in Toxicology

description: Consideration of all chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis is a daunting task, which has been traditionally assessed through animal testing procedures. However, the ethical and financial considerations associated with such testing has long been a topic of concern, with the desire to pursue alternative methods evident. Towards this, the vision of 21st century toxicology actively promoted the use of new approach methodologies (NAMs) that avoid the usage of animal testing, as well as fostering a more efficient means for toxicological assessment. Captured within these NAMs are in silico methods which include a range of in silico (or computational) approaches, one of the most popular being Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationships (QSARs). Although it is acknowledged that the majority of these in silico methods are by no means novel, it is the consideration of such within regulatory decisionmaking frameworks that is. Whilst these methods are being promoted for usage within regulatory settings, fundamental issues regarding assessment of confidence as well as knowledge sharing need to be addressed to further promote acceptance. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to provide detailed analysis of methods for in silico model validation, and knowledge-sharing efforts that incorporate the state-of-the-art practices, which could potentially bolster their acceptance within regulatory settings. Recently developed uncertainty assessment criteria for the evaluation of QSARs were analysed with a particular focus on how they can be employed to demonstrate fitness-for-purpose. These uncertainty assessment criteria were subsequently developed further, with considerations of challenges in QSAR, such as mixture assessment and machine learning (ML) approaches. To facilitate this, a review was conducted of the key characteristics of QSAR methods applied to mixtures, using the knowledge gathered to identify areas for additional consideration within the criteria. ML approaches were studied, with six models developed to address ML-specific considerations within the criteria. The concept of model sharing has been promoted through the application of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles to in silico methods. Outcomes from each chapter and the overall thesis promote the advancement of regulatory acceptance of QSAR models and predictions, through development of improved reporting strategies and sharing methodologies. The thesis additionally benefits the field thorough considerations of the most challenging aspects of QSARs, and how these subfields, such as mixture assessment and ML approaches, can gain credibility.

description: The suppression of ferroquadrupolar order in TmVO$_4$ in a magnetic field is well-described by the transverse field Ising model, enabling detailed studies of critical dynamics near the quantum phase transition. We describe nuclear magnetic resonance measurements in pure and Y-doped single crystals. The non-Kramers nature of the ground state doublet leads to a unique form of the hyperfine coupling that exclusively probes the transverse field susceptibility. Our results show that this quantity diverges at the critical field, in contrast to the mean-field prediction. Furthermore, we find evidence for quantum critical fluctuations present near Tm-rich regions in Y-doped crystals at levels beyond which long-range order is suppressed, suggesting the presence of quantum Griffiths phases.

The evolution of pluralistic ignorance

description: Pluralistic ignorance is a social-psychological phenomenon that occurs when individuals privately hold beliefs that differ from perceived group norms. Traditional models, based on opinion dynamics with private and public states, fail to account for a key aspect: when nonexpression aligns with normative behavior, initial social pressure can induce pluralistic ignorance. We show that pluralistic ignorance persists under infrequent imitation and strong initial minority influence. Although individuals can overcome this ignorance by the end of interactions, it reemerges in subsequent meetings. However, excessive imitation erases pluralistic ignorance, leading to a uniform state in which internal and external states align. Furthermore, incorporating memory into the internalization process shows that pluralistic ignorance peaks at moderate imitation levels.

description: Within the context of Rastall gravity, we investigate the hydrostatic equilibrium and dynamical stability against radial pulsations of compact stars, where a free parameter $β$ measures the deviations from General Relativity (GR). We derive both the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations and the Sturm-Liouville differential equation governing the adiabatic radial oscillations. Such equations are solved numerically in order to obtain the compact-star properties for two realistic equations of state (EoSs). For hadronic matter, the fundamental mode frequency $ω_0$ becomes unstable almost at the critical central energy density corresponding to the maximum gravitational mass. However, for quark matter, where larger values of $\vertβ\vert$ are required to observe appreciable changes in the mass-radius diagram, there exist stable stars after the maximum-mass configuration for negative values of $β$. Using an independent analysis, our results reveal that the emergence of a cusp can be used as a criterion to indicate the onset of instability when the binding energy is plotted as a function of the proper mass. Specifically, we find that the central-density value where the binding energy is a minimum corresponds precisely to $ω_0^2 =0$.

description: Recent advancements in quantum computing have led to the development of hybrid quantum neural networks (HQNNs) that employ a mixed set of quantum layers and classical layers, such as Quanvolutional Neural Networks (QuNNs). While several works have shown security threats of classical neural networks, such as adversarial attacks, their impact on QuNNs is still relatively unexplored. This work tackles this problem by designing AdvQuNN, a specialized methodology to investigate the robustness of HQNNs like QuNNs against adversarial attacks. It employs different types of Ansatzes as parametrized quantum circuits and different types of adversarial attacks. This study aims to rigorously assess the influence of quantum circuit architecture on the resilience of QuNN models, which opens up new pathways for enhancing the robustness of QuNNs and advancing the field of quantum cybersecurity. Our results show that, compared to classical convolutional networks, QuNNs achieve up to 60\% higher robustness for the MNIST and 40\% for FMNIST datasets.

description: Researchers develop models to explain the unknowns.
 These models typically involve parameters that capture tangible quantities, the estimation of which is desired.
 Parameter identifiability investigates the recoverability of the unknown parameters given the error-free outputs, inputs, and the developed equations of the model.
 Different notions of and methods to test identifiability exist for dynamical systems defined in the continuous space.
 Yet little attention was paid to the identifiability of discrete space systems, where variables and parameters are defined in a discrete space.
 We develop the identifiability framework for discrete space systems and highlight that this is not an immediate extension of the continuous space framework.
 Unlike the continuous case, local identifiability concepts are sensitive to how a ``neighborhood'' is defined.
 Moreover, results on algebraic identifiability that proved useful in the continuous space are less so in their discrete form as the notion of differentiability disappears.
