description: Detection of entanglement in bipartite states is a fundamental task in quantum information. The first method to verify entanglement in mixed states was the partial-transpose criterion. Subsequently, numerous quantifiers for bipartite entanglement were introduced, among them concurrence and negativity. Surprisingly, these quantities are often treated as distinct or independent of each other. The aim of this contribution is to highlight the close relations between these concepts, to show the connections between seemingly independent results, and to present various estimates for the mixed-state concurrence within the same framework.

description: Au niveau théorique de même qu’au niveau de la politique linguistique, le constat concernant l’enseignement-apprentissage des langues est clair : depuis les années 1980, nous sommes passés d’une vision cloisonnée considérant les compétences des locuteurs dans différentes langues comme complètement séparées à une vision beaucoup plus intégrative valorisant les différentes compétences des locuteurs dans leur ensemble et favorisant des liens explicites entre les langues. Le Plan d’études romand, en vigueur dans le canton de Vaud depuis la rentrée scolaire 2013, confirme ce nouveau paradigme, non seulement dans ses déclarations d’intention mais également de façon plus concrète. Il propose un domaine disciplinaire « Langues » regroupant les différents idiomes enseignés dans le cadre scolaire et incluant donc le français ; il présente un axe thématique « approches interlinguistiques » ayant pour but de favoriser la création de ponts entre les langues, par l’intermédiaire des approches plurielles principalement; enfin, il fait régulièrement mention de termes en lien avec le plurilinguisme qu’il prône. Mais qu’en est-il des pratiques de classe ? Les enseignants de langue concernés sont-ils au courant de ce changement de vision ? Mettent-ils en œuvre les approches qu’il sous-tend? De quelle manière ? Ce sont là différentes questions qui seront abordées dans le cadre de ce travail, afin de voir si et dans quelle mesure un changement bien établi au niveau prescriptif l’est également sur le terrain. Grâce à des entretiens semi-directifs menés avec des enseignants de langue d’un établissement secondaire lausannois, nous montrerons que, si la majorité de nos informateurs présentent une connaissance globale de ce qu’est la didactique du plurilinguisme et qu’ils mettent en œuvre quelques éléments permettant aux élèves de développer une compétence de communication plurilingue et interculturelle de façon ponctuelle, un certain nombre d’obstacles empêchent une mise en œuvre consciente et efficace d’une véritable didactique du plurilinguisme.

description: We construct families of exotic spin-1/2 chains using a procedure called ``hard rod deformation''. We treat both integrable and non-integrable examples. The models possess a large non-commutative symmetry algebra, which is generated by matrix product operators with fixed small bond dimension. The symmetries lead to Hilbert space fragmentation and to the breakdown of thermalization. As an effect, the models support persistent oscillations in non-equilibrium situations. Similar symmetries have been reported earlier in integrable models, but here we show that they also occur in non-integrable cases.

description: The spectra of protoplanetary disks contain mid- and far- infrared emission features produced by forsterite dust grains. The spectral features contain information about the forsterite temperature, chemical composition and grain size. We aim to characterize how the 23 and 69 micron features can be used to constrain the physical locations of forsterite in disks. We check for consistency between two independent forsterite temperature measurements: the 23/69 feature strength ratio and the shape of the 69 micron band. We performed radiative transfer modeling to study the effect of disk properties to the forsterite spectral features. Temperature-dependent forsterite opacities were considered in self-consistent models to compute forsterite emission from protoplanetary disks. Modelling grids are presented to study the effects of grain size, disk gaps, radial mixing and optical depth to the forsterite features. Independent temperature estimates derived from the 23/69 feature strength ratio and the 69 micron band shape are most inconsistent for HD141569 and Oph IRS 48. A case study of the disk of HD141569 shows two solutions to fit the forsterite spectrum. A model with T ~ 40 K, iron-rich (~0-1 % Fe) and 1 micron forsterite grains, and a model with warmer (T ~ 100 K), iron-free, and larger (10 micron) grains. We find that for disks with low upper limits of the 69 micron feature (most notably in flat, self-shadowed disks), the forsterite must be hot, and thus close to the star. We find no correlation between disk gaps and the presence or absence of forsterite features. We argue that the 69 micron feature of the evolved transitional disks HD141569 and Oph IRS 48 is most likely a tracer of larger (i.e. ~10 micron) forsterite grains.

description: Ce mémoire professionnel porte sur les pratiques disciplinaires au Secondaire I. Malgré l’existence de nombreux ouvrages portant sur ce sujet, les recherches sur le terrain soulignent le manque de connaissance des enseignants. Dans leur esprit, la conception de la sanction et de la punition est souvent floue. Peu au clair sur l’existence d’une différence entre sanctionner et punir, les enseignants sont de plus en plus confrontés à des situations conflictuelles. Ce mémoire a donc cherché à étudier les connaissances des enseignants d’établissements romands du secondaire I, en interrogeant leurs pratiques ainsi que les représentations en place actuellement. Il propose dans un premier temps une approche théorique de la sanction et de la punition en précisant l’importance des règles pour une bonne gestion de classe et le choix des mesures à prendre. Dans la recherche effectuée, des questionnaires distribués aux enseignants de trois établissements ont permis d’actualiser les connaissances à propos de la sanction et de la punition, mais aussi d’investiguer un terrain de recherche encore peu exploré. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence le manque de connaissance des enseignants quant à la différence entre ces deux pratiques et soulignent l’importance d’une formation qui viserait à combler ces lacunes.

description: Significant information on the dynamics of the plasma constituents in Hall effect thrusters can be obtained using minimally-intrusive techniques such as laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) diagnostics. Indeed, LIF provides an excellent tool to determine the ion velocity distribution function with high spatial resolution. Even in a steady-state operation, recording time-resolved maps of the velocity distribution is relevant due to persisting time-dependent features of the thruster discharge. One of the preeminent phenomena that renders the ion velocity distribution time dependent is commonly attributed to the breathing mode, characterized by pronounced oscillations in the discharge current. The goal of this work is to propose a new technique for plasma dynamic studies based on LIF spectroscopy with phase-resolution during the breathing period. To this purpose, the Hilbert transform is used to define the instantaneous phase of oscillation of the thruster current. Ion velocity distribution modification, over assigned phases of oscillation, is measured simultaneously and in real-time thanks to fully numerical analysis of the data.

description: The main objectives of evaluation prior to development were to investigate a barrow ditch and possible long mound on the floodplain, evaluate surrounding land for associated features and environmental evidence, fieldwalk all arable fields, and trial trench cropmark sites and other features isolated during fieldwalking. The barrow contained prehistoric pottery and an iron object beneath it which may have had an agricultural function. The long mound is now thought to be naturally occurring. Ditches, a square enclosure, ring ditch, and trackway were observed and investigated. Worked flint, a little pottery (Iron Age, Romano-British and Saxon), Roman coins, and one medieval coin were recovered during fieldwalking. The ditches and enclosures near to the long mound are thought to be Late Iron Age or Roman, and the trackway also seems orientated towards Roman occupation.

description: Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the notable fruit crops cultivated globally and is predominantly used by winery industries. Grape rootstocks play a crucial role for the productivity of grape production in unfavorable environmental conditions. Conventional methods of propagation are time consuming, require large growing space, seasonal dependent and permits disease transfer when it compared to in vitro propagation. The aim of this study was to optimize a reproducible protocol for in vitro propagation of grape rootstock (3309C) from nodal segments. The preliminary trial was done to determine the appropriate concentration of Sodium hypochlorite and exposure time. For shoot initiation, the explants were inoculated to MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of 6- Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP), Kinetin (KIN) and their combination and the initiated shoots were transferred to multiplication medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP. While rooting was done on ½ MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of IBA (Indole 3 Butyric Acid). Surface sterilization of explant using 3% NaOCl for ten minutes found to be optimum combination. The highest culture establishment rate was recorded on MS medium fortified with 1 mg/l and 2 mg/l BAP which is 90% and 80%, respectively. The highest number of shoots (3.0), nodes (3.4) and shoot length (3.92 cm) were recorded on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/l and followed by 1 mg/l BAP. In rooting, the mean highest number of roots (6.4) and root length (6.56 cm) were recorded on medium containing 0.75 mg/l IBA and followed by 0.5 mg/l IBA. In in vitro propagation of this grape rootstock, it is possible to demonstrate culture establishment, shoot proliferation and rooting by using the different concentrations of KIN, BAP and IBA and the regeneration of 3309 C grape rootstock can be carried out efficiently by direct shoot proliferation using nodal segments from field grown mother plant.

description: The design of software development tools follows from what the developers of such tools believe is true about software development. A key aspect of such beliefs is the size of code contributions (commits) to a software project. In this paper, we show that what tool developers think is true about the size of code contributions is different by more than an order of magnitude from reality. We present this reality, called the commit size distribution, for a large sample of open source and selected closed source projects. We suggest that these new empirical insights will help improve software development tools by aligning underlying design assumptions closer with reality.

description: Through a qualitative study of municipal elections in Seattle and San Antonio, I present and analyze the political opportunity structures which determine candidate viability both before and after electoral reform. I compare the networks of political actors to determine how candidate viability is affected in non-partisan local races. In addition to interviews and ethnographic study of the campaigns themselves, I draw from campaign contribution records in both cities as well as the archival records of the creation and implementation of the two reforms to fill out the story of how political networks and coalitions adapt to systemic changes. I find that the state processes for the reforms tend to be depoliticizing as they are rationalized by lay commissions rather than in arenas of political contestation. This is striking since the purpose of both reforms was to establish a more inclusive system of representation. I also find that it is the informality of candidate selection through elite brokers of influence which limits the choice of voters. I therefore, argue that ‘influence work’ should be treated as a specific and crucial resource in the study of campaigns and elections. Literature on campaign professionals and political work is extremely limited. This study addresses these issues through a comparative analysis of rulemaking, consultant work, coalition building and candidate success amid electoral reforms. I do this not only by considering the unique cases of San Antonio and Seattle in implementing reforms for the 2017 city elections, but also by offering a distinct conceptualization of viability that breaks from the essential. Viability is environmentally specific, co-constructed, processual, and most importantly, accessible through certain political actors: the political elite.

description: Le Care est toujours plus présent dans les discours du monde enseignant : l’école intégrative, l’élève au centre, la différenciation. Autant de méthodes qui demandent un véritable souci de l’autre aussi bien dans son développement social, affectif que cognitif. Si les bienfaits de la posture Care pour la construction des élèves a été démontrée, il n’en reste pas moins qu’elle peut s’avérer néfaste si elle n’est pas convenablement dosée. Les risques émanant de cette posture se manifestent également en termes de gestes dispensés à un public particulier. En effet, tout geste Care bien dosé et bénéfique à une population d’élèves l’est-il également pour une catégorie d’apprenants différents ? C’est exactement ce point qu’aborde ce travail. Cette recherche veut, effectivement, ouvrir la discussion sur les adolescents et leurs particularités. Ces élèves sont-ils différents des autres ? Le Care qui doit leur être dispensé est-il lui aussi dissemblable ? Existe-t-il des risques à prodiguer les mêmes gestes Care à des élèves pubescents qu’à des apprenants plus jeunes ou plus âgés ? Autant de questions que ce travail va aborder d’un point de vue théorique puis pragmatique, en confrontant les apports théoriques aux perceptions d’enseignantes sur le terrain. Les résultats montreront qu’il subsiste, effectivement, de nombreux paramètres dont il faut tenir compte chez les adolescents afin de leur dispenser un Care adéquat, sans quoi les gestes des praticiens pourraient s’avérer contre-productifs voire néfastes pour leur développement. Il sera donc question de conduire chaque enseignant ou futur enseignant à une prise de conscience de ses attitudes Care dans sa pratique quotidienne afin de comprendre ce que signifie être Care dans l’enseignement aux adolescents.

description: Using a high-resolution X-Ray diffraction measurement method, the surface acoustic waves (SAW) propagation in a graphene film on the surface of a Ca3TaGa3Si2O14 (CTGS) piezoelectric crystal was investigated, where an external current was driven across the graphene film. Here we show for the first time that the application of the DC field leads to a significant enhancement of the SAW magnitude and, as a result, to amplification of the diffraction satellites. Amplification of 33.2 dB/cm for the satellite +1, and of 13.8 dB/cm for the satellite +2, at 471 MHz has been observed where the external DC voltage of +10V was applied. Amplification of SAW occurs above a DC field much smaller than that of a system using bulk semiconductor. Theoretical estimates are in reasonable agreement with our measurements and analysis of experimental data for other materials.

Active Control Approach to Temporal Acoustic Cloaking

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Applied Physics (physics.app-ph)

description: We propose a realization of a transformation-based acoustic temporal cloak using an active closed-loop control approach to an equivalent electromagnetic problem. Unlike the more common spatial cloaks the goal of which is hiding fixed objects from detection, the goal of the temporal cloak is hiding the occurrence of events during a finite period of time. In electromagnetic systems, in which events represent, for example, leakage of signals from transmission lines or optical fibers, temporal cloaking solutions usually rely on nonlinear phenomena related to the fibers properties, or on modulating the properties of the propagation medium itself. In particular, the transformation-based solution requires modulating the constitutive parameters of the medium both in space and time. Our control approach is fully linear, where the required change in the medium parameters is programmed into the controllers and created by external actuators in real-time. This cloaking system keeps the physical medium unchanged, and enables to reprogram the cloaking parameters upon request. We demonstrate our solution in a simulation of a one-dimensional water channel.

description: Hypergravity is the theory in which the graviton, of spin-2, has a supersymmetric partner of spin-5/2. There are "no-go" theorems that prevent interactions in these higher spin theories. However, it appears that one can circumvent them by bringing in an infinite tower of higher spin fields. With this possibility in mind, we study herein the electric-magnetic duality invariance of hypergravity. The analysis is carried out in detail for the free theory of the spin-(2,5/2) multiplet, and it is indicated how it may be extended to the infinite tower of higher spins. Interactions are not considered. The procedure is the same that was employed recently for the spin-(3/2,2) multiplet of supergravity. One introduces new potentials ("prepotentials") by solving the constraints of the Hamiltonian formulation. In terms of the prepotentials, the action is written in a form in which its electric-magnetic duality invariance is manifest. The prepotential action is local, but the spacetime invariance is not manifest. Just as for the spin-2 and spin-(3/2,2) cases, the gauge symmetries of the prepotential action take a form similar to those of the free conformal theory of the same multiplet. The automatic emergence of gauge conformal invariance out of demand of manifest duality invariance, is yet another evidence of the subtle interplay between duality invariance and spacetime symmetry. We also compare and contrast the formulation with that of the analogous spin-(1,3/2) multiplet.

description: Morphometric analysis is a key to understand the hydrological process of a drainage basin and is a means of mathematically quantifying different aspects of hydrological characteristics of a river basin. In this paper, sub watersheds of Guder basin, part of Upper Blue Nile basin has prioritized through its morphometric analysis. The primary data for this study was an elevation data in raster format. DEM of 30mx30m resolution supplemented with topographical maps in (GIS) platform. Stream networks and watersheds were delineated in ArcGIS 10.4 software by utilizing Arc Hydro Tools. The sub basin was divided into seven sub-watersheds and includes four-order stream. Lower stream orders, in particular first order streams dominate the subwatershed. The linear, areal and relief aspects of the basin were computed. Development of the stream segments were controlled by local reliefs. The shape factors reveal the elongation of the sub-watersheds and the relief ratio reveals the high discharge capability of the sub-watershed. The compound values of the sub watersheds were determined; depending on the values, sub-watershed G-1, G-2 and G-6 received the high priority rank. The sub watershed G-6 has the lowest compound value and ranked 1st which indicates the greater degree of erosion susceptibility in this and it becomes potential candidate area for applying soil conservation measures. The sub-watersheds G-7 & G-4 fall under medium priority classes indicating moderate soil erosion zone. The sub watersheds G-3 and G-5 fall under low priority classes and were categorized under very slight erosion susceptibility zone. Hence, the results of this study provide useful inputs for watershed level planning and management strategies in control of soil erosion.

description: Background: The development of COVID-19 vaccines and mass vaccination is a landmark achievement of modern medicine. Management of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) during the pandemic has been challenging. Immunosuppressive (IS) medications to control vasculitis are associated with severe COVID-19 infection and may impair immune response to the vaccine. In this study we aim to identify correlations between humoral response to the vaccine and IS medications used in the management of AAV. Methods: A multicentre cross-sectional study was carried out across 3 centres, John Hopkins Hospital, Vasculitis centre, Baltimore USA, Royal Preston Hospital, UK and The University Hospital, Munich, Germany. One hundred and fifty-nine patients were included. Serum anti-spike IgG enzyme immunoassays were performed between 11th March 2021 and 19th August 2021. The cut off titre for positive humoral response was between >0.8 to >1.24 u/ml depending on the assays. Results: Of the 159 patients included; mean age 65 ± 14 years, 55% developed detectable SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibodies. The use of Rituximab (RTX) was shown to be significant for a poor humoral response to COVID-19 vaccines (p= 0.01). For every 1g increase in the cumulative dose of RTX given, antibody seropositivity reduced by 10% (as shown in Table 1). Multivariate analysis demonstrated CD19 reconstitution was significantly associated with antibody production (p <0.001). Those that received RTX over 6 months prior to vaccination had a seven-fold increase in antibody production. Conclusions: Our study has demonstrated a significant correlation with B cell depleting agents (Rituximab) and SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibody production following vaccination. We recommend CD 19 counts as a reliable marker for prediction of antibody production. Decisions to delay or change maintenance treatments should be made on balance with the risk of relapse and other risk factors. We recommend considering other immunosuppressive treatments such as Azathioprine as maintenance treatment, especially in those who are vulnerable to hospitalisation or severe COVID-19 infection.

description: The Ministry for Climate Protection, Agriculture, Rural Areas and the Environment in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern prepares a strategy for insect conservation. One module within the program “More respect for the insect” aimed to compare sites with completed or ongoing conservation measures with conventionally managed reference sites in order to obtain data-based recommendations for future actions. Study sites comprised organically managed arable land (vs. conventionally managed fields), stripes of grassland fallows (vs. used grassland), rewetted and/or abandoned peatland meadows (vs. managed grassland on drained peatland), restoration of salt marshes by relocation of dikes (vs. diked grassland) and initial stages of xerothermic grassland as a substitute for management in protected areas (vs. later succession stages). The localities were in the surroundings of Greifswald, Anklam and Pasewalk. Arthropods were sampled with pitfall traps according to then applicable guidelines for the nationwide insect monitoring. At each plot six pitfalls were positioned in linear transects with Renner solution as preservative. Carabid beetles and spiders were identified to species level and included in the assessment. Concerning spiders, a total of 22902 specimens (20765 adults) from 189 species were recorded.

description: Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter for which density fluctuations diminish towards zero at the largest length scales. However, the task of determining whether or not an experimental system is hyperuniform is experimentally challenging due to finite-resolution, noise and sample-size effects that influence characterization measurements. Here we explore these issues, employing video optical microscopy to study hyperuniformity phenomena in disordered two-dimensional jammed packings of soft spheres. Using a combination of experiment and simulation we characterize the detrimental effects of particle polydispersity, image noise, and finite-size effects on the assignment of hyperuniformity, and we develop a methodology that permits improved diagnosis of hyperuniformity from real-space measurements. The key to this improvement is a simple packing reconstruction algorithm that incorporates particle polydispersity to minimize free volume. In addition, simulations show that hyperuniformity can be ascertained more accurately in direct space than in reciprocal space as a result of finite sample-size. Finally, experimental colloidal packings of soft polymeric spheres are shown to be hyperuniform.

Background: Analysis of 50 cases of COVID-19 with available neuropathology revealed three CNS findings. First, hypoxia-ischemia does not account for all relevant neuropathological features. Second, elevated levels of circulating cytokines suggest activation of post-infectious immunity indicative of a cytokine storm, with increased hypercoagulability leading to a risk for thrombotic and hemorrhagic parenchymal tissue infarction. Third, a minority of cases have acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis-(ADEM) like features or indolent brainstem encephalitis. Such cases may present with early altered sensorium and brainstem signs. Fourth, SARS-CoV-2 staining could not be confirmed due to paucity of available tissue specimens. Design/Methods: Ninety-four additional cases with available postmortem CNS neuropathology showed four additional findings. Results: First, positive SARS-CoV-2 genome by PCR testing is present in brain tissues especially in olfactory bulb neurons and glial cells lending support to a route of entry into the CNS and the importance of early anosmia. Second, SARS-CoV-2-positive neurons appear to be TUNEL positive and caspase-positive, displaying reversible pT231 Tau localization in some cell soma that may be highly neurotoxic and a driver of tauopathy. Third, expression of ACE2 in oligodendrocytes is associated with viral entry, while TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS4 staining is implicated in pruning of viral-decorating spikes. Fourth, meningeal and interstitial brainstem inflammation by cytotoxic T-cells coincides with the localization of SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins in cranial nerves and interstitial areas of lower brainstem encephalitis. The detection of brain microglial activation and sparse perivascular and leptomeningeal T-cell infiltrates correlates with critical illness encephalopathy. Conclusions: Genetic diversity, recombination, and viral mutation carries the foreseeable risk of continued fatality due to the direct and indirect effects of SARS-CoV-2 that include inflammatory vasculopathy, encephalitis, silent infarctions, and critical illness encephalopathy. Disclosures: None.

description: The Ministry for Climate Protection, Agriculture, Rural Areas and the Environment in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern prepares a strategy for insect conservation. One module within the program “More respect for the insect” aimed to compare sites with completed or ongoing conservation measures with conventionally managed reference sites in order to obtain data-based recommendations for future actions. Study sites comprised organically managed arable land (vs. conventionally managed fields), stripes of grassland fallows (vs. used grassland), rewetted and/or abandoned peatland meadows (vs. managed grassland on drained peatland), restoration of salt marshes by relocation of dikes (vs. diked grassland) and initial stages of xerothermic grassland as a substitute for management in protected areas (vs. later succession stages). The localities were in the surroundings of Greifswald, Anklam and Pasewalk. Arthropods were sampled with pitfall traps according to then applicable guidelines for the nationwide insect monitoring. At each plot six pitfalls were positioned in linear transects with Renner solution as preservative. Carabid beetles and spiders were identified to species level and included in the assessment. Concerning spiders, a total of 22902 specimens (20765 adults) from 189 species were recorded.

description: Recent interest in New Early Dark Energy (NEDE), a cosmological model with a vacuum energy component decaying in a triggered phase transition around recombination, has been sparked by its impact on the Hubble tension. Previous constraints on the model parameters were derived in a Bayesian framework with Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. In this work, we instead perform a frequentist analysis using the profile likelihood in order to assess the impact of prior volume effects on the constraints. We constrain the maximal fraction of NEDE $f_\mathrm{NEDE}$, finding $f_\mathrm{NEDE}=0.076^{+0.040}_{-0.035}$ at $68 \%$ CL with our baseline dataset and similar constraints using either data from SPT-3G, ACT or full-shape large-scale structure, showing a preference over $Λ$CDM even in the absence of a SH0ES prior on $H_0$. While this is stronger evidence for NEDE than obtained with the corresponding Bayesian analysis, our constraints broadly match those obtained by fixing the NEDE trigger mass. Including the SH0ES prior on $H_0$, we obtain $f_\mathrm{NEDE}=0.136^{+0.024}_{-0.026}$ at $68 \%$ CL. Furthermore, we compare NEDE with the Early Dark Energy (EDE) model, finding similar constraints on the maximal energy density fractions and $H_0$ in the two models. At $68 \%$ CL in the NEDE model, we find $H_0 = 69.56^{+1.16}_{-1.29} \text{ km s}^{-1}\text{ Mpc}^{-1}$ with our baseline and $H_0 = 71.62^{+0.78}_{-0.76} \text{ km s}^{-1}\text{ Mpc}^{-1}$ when including the SH0ES measurement of $H_0$, thus corroborating previous conclusions that the NEDE model provides a considerable alleviation of the $H_0$ tension.

description: A striking result from nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is the monogamy of entanglement, which states that a particle can be maximally entangled only with one other party, not with several ones. While there is the exact quantitative relation for three qubits and also several inequalities describing monogamy properties, it is not clear to what extent exact monogamy relations are a general feature of quantum mechanics. We prove that in all many-qubit systems there exist strict monogamy laws for quantum correlations. They come about through the curious relationship between the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics of qubits and Minkowski space. We elucidate the origin of entanglement monogamy from this symmetry perspective and provide recipes to construct new families of such equalities.

description: This thesis focused on hydraulic performance evaluation of water supply distribution system in the case of Gudo Bahir, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. The main objective of this study is to check the hydraulic performance of Gudo Bahir water distribution system by assessing losses of water, hydraulic performance of the water distribution modeling, and water supply and demand gap. Hydraulic network of the study area is simulated using Bentley WaterGEMS V8i by using the data on the water distribution network of the area and master plan of the town. The hydraulic simulation in the existing network system to check the reliability of hydraulic parameters such as the pressure at a junction, head loss at each pipe material, and velocity of water was performed. The water demand and supply of Gudo Bahir were not balanced. The daily water consumption of the area was 40 l/c/day used daily for different domestic activities with the billed water amount 1,619,591 m 3 /year was produced and 1,087,704 m 3 /year was consumed and around 32.67% water was considered to be non-revenue (NRW). The level of connection in the study area was found to be 70.4%. The other observed big problems in Gudo Bahir area were intermittent water supply, pipe leakage, and one borehole creates a health problem because the borehole water directly joins the water distribution line without any treatment. According to the analysis, at peak hour consumption, 82.5% and minimum hour consumptions, 79.58% of velocities are not under permissible range. And also, 98% of pressures are under permissible range at peak hour consumption, and minimum hour consumption, 90.3% of pressures are under permissible range. Generally, the result of the analysis shows that the overall hydraulic performance of water distribution of the area was poor, which is reflected by a high level of Non-revenue water and low service coverage. Therefore, it is important to renew and improve the capacity of the water distribution system, establish a pressure zone and drill additional wells. In addition to paying more attention to water loss reduction policies and strategies, remedial measures are needed

description: Three small sites excavated in Oundle provide evidence of an AS presence in and around the town. An isolated sunken-floored building on the outskirts of the town has produced pottery of the fifth century. Two conjoined sites in the centre of town attest occupation from the Early--Middle Saxon period onwards and contemporary finds from the churchyard, together with structural evidence from the parish church itself, suggest that the church originated as a large Late Saxon building.

description: Since the 1990s, there has been a dramatic interest in quantum communication. Free-space quantum communication is being developed to ultra-long distance quantum experiment, which requires higher electronics performance, such as time measurement precision, data-transfer rate, and system integration density. As part of the ground station of quantum experiment satellite that will be launched in 2016, we specifically designed a compact PCI-based multi-channel electronics system with high time-resolution, high data-transfer-rate. The electronics performance of this system was tested. The time bin size is 23.9ps and the time precision root-mean-square (RMS) is less than 24ps for 16 channels. The dead time is 30ns. The data transfer rate to local computer is up to 35 MBps, and the count rate is up to 30M/s. The system has been proven to perform well and operate stably through a test of free space quantum key distribution (QKD) experiment.
