description: The measurement of eccentricity would provide strong constraints on the formation channel of stellar-mass binary black holes. However, current ground-based gravitational wave detectors will, in most cases, not be able to measure eccentricity due to orbital circularization. Space-based observatories, in contrast, can determine binary eccentricity at 0.01Hz to $e_{0.01}\gtrsim\mathcal{O}(10^{-4}) $. Directly observing stellar-mass binary black holes with space-based observatories remains a challenging problem. However, observing such systems with ground-based detectors allows the possibility to identify the same signal in archival data from space-based observatories in the years previous. Since ground-based detectors provide little constraints on eccentricity, including eccentricity in the archival search will increase the required number of filter waveforms for the archival search by 5 orders of magnitudes [from $\sim \mathcal{O}(10^3)$ to $\sim \mathcal{O}(10^8)$], and will correspondingly need $ \sim8\times10^5 $ core hours (and $ \sim 10^5$ GB of memory), even for a mild upper limit on eccentricity of $0.1$. In this work, we have constructed the first template bank for an archival search of space-based gravitational wave detectors, including eccentricity. We have demonstrated that even though the inclusion of eccentricity brings extra computational burden, an archival search including eccentricity will be feasible in the time frame of planned space-based observatories, and will provide strong constraints on the eccentricities of stellar-mass binary black holes.

description: Least Squares Tensor Hypercontraction (LS-THC) has received some attention in recent years as an approach to reduce the significant computational costs of wavefunction based methods in quantum chemistry. However, previous work has demonstrated that the LS-THC factorization performs disproportionately worse in the description of wavefunction components (e.g. cluster amplitudes $\hat{T}_2$) than Hamiltonian components (e.g. electron repulsion integrals $(pq|rs)$). This work develops novel theoretical methods to study the source of these errors in the context of the real-space $\hat{T}_2$ kernel, and reports, for the first time, the existence of a "correlation feature" in the errors of the LS-THC representation of the "exchange-like" correlation energy $E_X$ and $\hat{T}_2$ that is remarkably consistent across ten molecular species, three correlated wavefunctions, and four basis sets. This correlation feature portends the existence of a "pair-point kernel" missing in the usual LS-THC representation of the wavefunction, which critically depends upon pairs of grid points situated close to atoms and with inter-pair distances between one and two Bohr radii. These findings point the way for future LS-THC developments to address these shortcomings.

description: This study numerically examines the influences of transverse annulation around a cone surface on the characteristics of a flow over an orthocone. This work is inspired by Spyroceras, a fossilized genus of the nautiloid family during the Paleozoic era, whose method of locomotion is understudied. As a baseline case, a flow over a smooth orthoconic model with a blunt cone end is investigated numerically at Reynolds numbers from 500 to 1500. As Reynolds increases, two different shedding mechanisms - hairpin-vortex wake and spiral-vortex wake - are captured. We notice that an introduction of annulation over the cone surface changes the critical Reynolds number for the transition of the shedding mechanism. The dominant shedding frequency increases with the Reynolds number for the smooth and annulated cone flows. Moreover, the annulation reduces the dominant frequency for the same Reynolds number and increases the time-averaged drag coefficient. Modal decompositions - Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (SPOD) - are used to capture the coherent structures and their oscillating frequencies. We have captured modes corresponding to the hairpin-vortex wake and spiral-vortex wake shedding mechanisms. Comparing the leading POD modes for the smooth and the annulated cone flows, we find that the annulation can reduce the twisting effects of the coherent structures in the wake. Additionally, we find that the SPOD analysis can identify modes presenting both hairpin-vortex wake and spiral-vortex wake in one flow condition as leading modes, while the POD leading modes only reveal one shedding mechanism in each flow.

description: We give an introductory account of the recently identified gauge invariance of the equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical many-body systems [J. Müller et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 217101 (2024)]. The gauge transformation is a non-commutative shifting operation on phase space that keeps the differential phase space volume element and hence the Gibbs integration measure conserved. When thermally averaged any observable is an invariant, including thermodynamic and structural quantities. Shifting transformations are canonical in the sense of classical mechanics. They also form an infinite-dimensional group with generators of infinitesimal transformations that build a non-commutative Lie algebra. We lay out the connections with the underlying geometry of coordinate displacement and with Noether's theorem. Spatial localization of the shifting yields differential operators that satisfy commutator relationships, which we describe both in purely configurational and in full phase space setups. Standard operator calculus yields corresponding equilibrium hyperforce correlation sum rules for general observables and order parameters. Using Monte Carlos simulations we demonstrate explicitly the gauge invariance for finite shifting. We argue in favour of using the gauge invariance as a statistical mechanical construction principle for obtaining exact results and for formulating smart sampling algorithms.

description: Due to the numerous limitations of current quantum devices, quantum error mitigation methods become potential solutions for realizing practical quantum applications in the near term. Zero-Noise Extrapolation (ZNE) and Clifford Data Regression (CDR) are two promising quantum error mitigation methods. Based on the characteristics of these two methods, we propose a new method named extrapolated CDR (eCDR). To benchmark our method, we embed eCDR into a quantum application, specifically multi-layer quantum routing. Quantum routers direct a quantum signal from one input path to a quantum superposition of multiple output paths and are considered important elements of future quantum networks. Multi-layer quantum routers extend the scalability of quantum networks by allowing for further superposition of paths. We benchmark the performance of multi-layer quantum routers implemented on current superconducting quantum devices instantiated with the ZNE, CDR, and eCDR methods. Our experimental results show that the new eCDR method significantly outperforms ZNE and CDR for the 2-layer quantum router. Our work highlights how new mitigation methods built from different components of pre-existing methods, and designed with a core application in mind, can lead to significant performance enhancements.
Extending completeness of the eigenmodes of an open system beyond its boundary, for Green's function and scattering-matrix calculations

description: The asymptotic completeness of a set of the eigenmodes of an open system with increasing number of modes enables an accurate calculation of the system response in terms of these modes. Using the exact eigenmodes, such completeness is limited to the interior of the system. Here we show that when the eigenmodes of a target system are obtained by the resonant-state expansion, using the modes of a basis system embedding the target system, the completeness extends beyond the boundary of the target system. We illustrate this by using the Mittag-Leffler series of the Green's function expressed in terms of the eigenmodes, which converges to the correct solution anywhere within the basis system, including the space outside the target system. Importantly, this property allows one to treat pertubations outside the target system and to calculate the scattering cross-section using the boundary conditions for the basis system. Choosing a basis system of spherical geometry, these boundary conditions have simple analytical expressions, allowing for an efficient calculation of the response of the target system, as we demonstrate for a resonator in a form of a finite dielectric cylinder.

Nous avons réalisé une étude descriptive. La zone d’étude comprenait les 40 bornes fontaines de la REGIDESO dispersées dans la ville de Kabinda. Un échantillon aléatoire de 78 personnes a été considéré ; un questionnaire a été administré aux participants du 14 Mai au 30 Mai 2020. Un pourcentage de 79,75% des participants ont entendu parler de la COVID19 à travers la radio. . Les hommes connaissaient plus la définition de la COVID- 19 que les femmes (p-Value = 0,003). Seuls les participants âgés de plus de 18 ans connaissaient les signes de transmission de la COVID-19 (p-Value = 0,005); la majorité d’entre eux connaissaient les moyens de lutte contre la propagation de cette pandémie (p-Value < 0,001). Aucune différence par rapport à la connaissance des signes de la COVID-19 n’a été observée quant à aux différentes caractéristiques sociodémographiques des participants (p-Value > 0,05). Seule l’attitude de ne pas se saluer avec les mains était la mesure barrière connue. Les participants ignoraient que le port du masque (p-Value < 0,001), le fait d’éviter de tousser entre les coudes (p-Value = 0,014) et le fait de ne pas se saluer avec les mains (p-Value < 0,001) pourraient limiter la propagation de la pandémie de COVID-19. Plus d’efforts sont nécessaires quant à la sensibilisation sur la définition du virus COVID-19, ses modes de transmission, et les mesures barrières afin de réduire la propagation de celui-ci. Les personnes âgées de moins de 18 ans et les femmes se sont avéré les plus visées.

description: An effective time-dependent Hamiltonian can be implemented by making a quantum system fly through an inhomogeneous potential, realizing, for example, a quantum gate on its internal degrees of freedom. However, flying systems have a spatial spread that will generically entangle the internal and spatial degrees of freedom, leading to decoherence in the internal state dynamics, even in the absence of any external reservoir. We provide formulas valid at all times for the dynamics, fidelity, and change of entropy for ballistic particles with small spatial spreads, quantified by $Δx$. This non-Markovian decoherence can be significant for ballistic flying qubits (scaling as $Δx^2$) but usually not for flying qubits carried by a moving potential well (scaling as $Δx^6$). We also discuss a method to completely counteract this decoherence for a ballistic qubit later measured.

Flow low water and variability of precipitation interannual in the high Sebou (Middle Atlas, Morocco). a problem of management of the water resource

description: On the substance of the new climate changes and increasing human pressure, problems related to the scarcity of water resources would become more and moreconstraining. In Morocco, the absence of legislative texts related to low flow weakens the governance of water management. Low water refers to the groundwater resource; hence, to the lower limit of the available water resources in a watershed. For this reason, the statistical analysis of these values is fundamental to rational use and management of water resources. Indeed, understanding the depletion phenomenon that leads to low flow, and the relationship with the annual precipitations, bring the keys to efficient and predictive management of water resources for strategic basins. This research presents a statistical analysis of low flow rates of the High Sebou from the flow stations and Azzaba Bridge Mdez. The choice of these two stations is justified by the chronic long observation and quality of values relative to other stations.

description: The town of Cairns took shape in the 1870s as a port for the Hodgkinson goldfields and as the terminus of the inland railway bringing shipments of ore, agricultural produce and timber to the coast. Sugar-plantations soon diversified its economic base, operating with South Sea Islander labour until federation and forced repatriation. It was the northern vote that carried Queensland's 'Yes vote' to federate and the face of the North irrevocably changed as white labour replaced black. Sugar dominated the district throughout the twentieth century, but by the start of the twenty­ first century, it accounted for only 6% of the district's income. While tourism has always had a place in the make-up of both nineteenth and twentieth century Cairns, it has sky-rocketted along with the district's population, after the establishment of the International Airport in 1984.This is a history of Cairns and district from Cook's visit in 1770 to the end of the twentieth century and the amalgamation of City and Shire (1995). Its aim is to provide a balanced and inclusive history, rather than a eulogy of the pioneer spirit. The changes to Cairns's townscape and the ambience of the district over the last twenty years of the twentieth century have been extraordinarily dramatic. Cairns the cosmopolitan international tourist destination is a far cry from the sleepy provincial town of yesterday. Accordingly this is a contemporary history that reflects those changes, and presents a new perspective. The old and well-worn narrative of progress struggling forward to overcome every adversity has in the past tended to ignore many people, usually the marginalised and less visible, whose lives nevertheless have been a crucial part of the social, cultural and economic fabric of town and region. Within the framework of a readable and broad ranging account, this history seeks to address the imbalance. To achieve this a methodology has been employed that utilises ethnographic and oral evidence as well as previously unexamined manuscript sources. However, because the temporal scope is so great it also draws on the work of earlier writers, read critically.

description: Phthalates are ranked among the most dangerous pollutants and often exist simultaneously in the terrestrial and marine environment. Their adsorption to biochar can have an impact on their behavior. So far, the competitive adsorption of phthalates on biochar has not been reported. In this study, biochar from corn cobs was produced and characterized for the competitive adsorption of diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Kinetics, isotherms experiment and pH effect were also carried out. Langmuir and Freundlich models, pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were used to simulate the experimental data. The result shows that in the single component phthalate system, biochar showed a higher adsorption capacity for DEHP (7.53 mg/g for BC400 and 14.71 mg/g for BC700) than for DEP (2.71 mg/g for BC400 and 5.00 mg/g for BC700) and DBP (6.59 mg/g for BC400 and 10.14 mg/g for BC700). In addition, a rapid adsorption rate for DEP was observed, which can be attributed to the smaller size and shorter carbon chains in the DEP molecule, resulting in faster diffusion into the pores of the biochar. In the three-component system, a competition between DEHP, DEP and DBP in their adsorption on biochars was observed, and DEHP (7.78 mg/g for BC400 and 12.05 for BC700 mg/g) was preferred to the detriment of DEP and DBP. The higher adsorption of DEHP can be explained by a stronger hydrophobic interaction with biochar. Compared to DEP and DBP, DEHP has a high octanol-water partition coefficient (logKow) and low solubility in water. This present work improves the understanding on the interaction between phthalates and the properties of biochar, and demonstrates that these properties are important for the control of environmental pollution.

- Normally the militant atheist from Western Europe only is laughing at these rests from Greek antiquity in their Christian redaction. Joseph P. Farrell however would have asked, HOW STRANGE it is, that we have here a RATHER OLD text showing EXACT FORMAL LOGICS, we today find applied in COMPUTERS? In other words: Aristotle is very probably NOT TELLING the WHOLE STORY! As was quite normal in antique times under the wellknown "antique secrecy": Today nuclear physics could find in Demokritos HINTS very similar with today trials for nuclear physics. The GREAT TRAGEDY however is, that they never asked, WHY Demokritos never gave a TECHNICAL HANDBOOK, complete enough, to REALLY BUILD nukes? See, where the difference is? However the NEXT question is BEYOND this paper, which would be: If our today advanced (ether-)physics is little more than a REVIVAL of a FAR ADVANCED PALEOPHYSICS, which is referenced in Greek writers only, would we ESCAPE the BAD CONSEQUENCES of same, which might have been the motivation of Greek writers, to get the whole stuff SECRETED and put under CAMOUFLAGE?! - I may hint to an additional BEYOND: In OLD times nobody sane enough would have doubted the EXISTENCE of a COSMIC CREATOR-GOD nor of the plethora of all the "humanlike" antique Gods and Godesses. For the antique people, tha DISCUSSIONS started, AFTER the point was cleared, that there is no proceeding possible, if denying the existence of God! -- It is used Russel-Whitehead-notation of formal logics, however nearly all the necessary ancillary calculations missing here - which is just normal if moving in cicles of the professonal mathematicians!

description: The document is the protocol of a scoping review.Objective The objective of this scoping review is to identify association and prediction studies focusing on the effect of CGM-assessed glycemic control on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in people with diabetes.IntroductionDiabetes is a growing public health challenge. Cardiovascular diseases are the principal cause of disability and mortality in people with diabetes. The condition requires continuous care, and it is essential to maintain good glycemic control to prevent diabetes-related complications. Continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGM) have been shown to be effective tools to achieve better glycemic control for people with diabetes. In addition, some CGM-derived metrics are known to be associated with markers of subclinical CVD (e.g. aortic stiffness).Inclusion and exclusion criteriaWe will include association and prediction studies published in the medical literature that investigated the link between CGM-derived metrics and CVD risk markers, or prevalent or incident CVD. In our review risk markers do not include factors merely associated with cardiovascular risk (e.g. age, sex), but only measurements that are directly derived from the cardiovascular system (e.g. pulse wave velocity, intima-media thickness, etc). Studies that do not include CGM-derived metrics, but only from self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) using finger-prick, or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from blood samples, will not be considered. We will focus on studies including participants with prediabetes or diabetes except for gestational diabetes. Studies focusing on hospitalized patients or the post-operative period will also be excluded.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE and Embase for peer-reviewed articles (original articles and brief reports) on the 22. January 2024. Abstracts will be screened by at least two independent reviewers. Study characteristics will be extracted by the first author (HBT) using a data extraction form and verified by the senior author (AH). Results will be presented using descriptive statistics.

description: The populations of the Lobo catchment area in Nibéhibé, located in the middle of a fissured bedrock, are experiencing difficulties in supplying drinking water due to the impacts of climate variability and the anthropic pressures on the surface water used. The objective of this study is to characterise the hydrodynamic functioning of the waters of the fissured basement aquifers of the Lobo catchment area in Nibéhibé (Central-West, Ivory Coast). The linear correlation method was used to select the most accurate borehole coordinates based on GPS data and an extract from the Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The Spline interpolation method, the isopies extraction method and the flow angle determination method were used to draw up the piezometric maps of high waters (September 2018) and low waters (February 2019). The interpretation of the piezometric maps indicates that the Lobo River and the Dé River constitute an outlet for groundwater during both periods (high waters and low waters). This discharge of groundwater is more intense at the level of the Lobo River unlike the Dé River. Secondly, piezometric domes and cones are observed during both seasons.

description: During the spraying of low crops, large quantities of pesticides are transferred from crop-growing areas to the atmosphere, by drift inducing environmental impacts, human health problems and economic loses. To better understand this drift phenomenon, spray emission modeling, in combination with field tests, could be a suitable solution but modeling stills the most used approach. Thus, the scientific community developed mathematical and computational models to describe the complicated interactions between spray droplets and its environment considering the different involved parameters. The final objective is to determine pesticide transport with few field tests. Most of the developed models are Lagrangian models that use the principles of fluid mechanics based on simplifying assumptions regarding the description of the kinetics of particles and the effect of turbulence on the behavior of the droplets. Existing drift models only consider the evaporation of the solvent, which is often water. They assume that there is a loss of pesticide by evaporation only if the drop reaches total evaporation. They also assume that the drops are isolated and that the effect of surface tension is neglected. Thus, evaporation is necessarily overestimated. Several results of those models show that drops smaller than 100 μm are the most sensitive to evaporation. This paper presents a bibliographic review describing some known drift models, particularly their calculation bases of evaporation, considering the diversity of hypothesis and drift principles characterization.

Monastic Archives and the Law: Legal Strategies at Farfa and Monte Amiata at the Turn of the Millennium
Creators: name: Maskarinec, Maya
Publisher: name: unknown
Year: 2021

description: This article investigates two controversies that reveal the deeply intertwined nature of legal strategies and archival practices at the monasteries of Farfa and Monte Amiata around the turn of the millennium. It argues that the protagonists of these cases, abbots knowledgeable in law and the history of their monasteries, pursued markedly historical legal strategies: legal strategies that looked to, manipulated, and, above all, contextualized, archival documents in order to make legal arguments. This sheds light on early medieval monastic legal culture in north-central Italy and provides insights into the rationale for monastic forgeries of documentary materials at Monte Amiata.

description: Surface waters are the main source of drinking water in many regions. Increasing organic carbon concentrations are one cause for concern in sub-saharan africa since both dissolved organic matter (DOM) can transport contaminants and adversely affect drinking water treatment processes. We present a study of characteristics of dissolved organic matter in the Bandama River. This river supplies drinking water to many urban and agricultural areas in Côte d'Ivoire. We have characterized the organic matter of these waters through the determination of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and using fluorescence. The minimum (3.51 mg.L-1) and maximum (9.21 mg.L-1) DOC mean value were found in Bandama River. Specific UV-Vis absorption at 254 nm (SUVA) for DOC from rainy season was higher than the one of dry season. The aromatic and humic DOM constituents in stream water therefore increased significantly during rainy season and were attributed to the contributions from sources such as litter leach ate and soil water. Three fluorescence components including humic-like substances (excitation peak at 400 nm, emission peak at 525 nm), humic-like substances (250 (330)/430 nm), and tryptophan-like materials (220 (275)/320 nm) were identified in water dissolved organic matter using excitation emission matrix (EEM) analysis. However, there were significant differences in the distributions of these three components for water DOM from different stations. Positive correlations were found among the fluorescence characteristics and other parameters of DOM. Our results demonstrate that EEM could be a feasible approach for characterizing DOM in water from different origin and can be used to further study complex DOM in rivers.

description: Generative Artificial Intelligence systems have been developed for image, code, story, and game generation with the goal of facilitating human creativity. Recent work on neural generative systems has emphasized one particular means of interacting with AI systems: the user provides a specification, usually in the form of prompts, and the AI system generates the content. However, there are other configurations of human and AI coordination, such as co-creativity (CC) in which both human and AI systems can contribute to content creation, and mixed-initiative (MI) in which both human and AI systems can initiate content changes. In this paper, we define a hypothetical human-AI configuration design space consisting of different means for humans and AI systems to communicate creative intent to each other. We conduct a human participant study with 185 participants to understand how users want to interact with differently configured MI-CC systems. We find out that MI-CC systems with more extensive coverage of the design space are rated higher or on par on a variety of creative and goal-completion metrics, demonstrating that wider coverage of the design space can improve user experience and achievement when using the system; Preference varies greatly between expertise groups, suggesting the development of adaptive, personalized MI-CC systems; Participants identified new design space dimensions including scrutability -- the ability to poke and prod at models -- and explainability.

description: Located in the south-east of Morocco, the Toudgha-Tinghir watershed is characterized by an arid climate with a strong spatiotemporal irregularity and very limited water resources marked by an increasing demand. The spatial analysis of the Digital Terrain Model (DTM), by the Geographical Information System (GIS), allowed on the one hand delimiting the watershed of Toudgha-Tinghir and on the other hand to map the information plans necessary for the development of the favourability map of the hydrological sub-units. Indeed, three categories could be distinguished: (i) the most favourable and are located upstream and in the centre of the Basin, (ii) the moderately favourable, generally located downstream of the Basin, and (iii) the unfavourable which are located in the centre of the upstream part of the Basin. The results obtained here will be of great importance, particularly in a context marked by climate change, for decision-making by local, regional and national decision-makers. The construction of a dam in this study area will make it possible, on the one hand, to relieve the pressure on groundwater and, on the other hand, to offer additional water to farmers and also contribute to an artificial recharge of the aquifer.

description: Abstract Like the Sahel countries threatened by desertification, Niger faces multiple consequences of this phenomenon, which affects all ecosystems. In the department of Mainé Soroa, desertification manifested by the gradual disappearance of vegetation, the formation of living dunes and the silting of the land. Several development projects and research structures are trying to combat these scourges through the fixation of dunes. Which is based practically on mechanical and biological fixation. A questionnaire assessing the socio-economic and environmental impact addressed to the dunes' ecological restoration actors served to collect the social and technical data. Two dune clusters in the same village (site 2016 and site 2017), already restored by the “CARE ONG”, constituted the study sites. A device allowing the soil surface horizon's characterization and the herbaceous cover was installed to enable ecological assessment. The result showed that the sectors under winds were more affluent than those near them. The recovery rate and the amount of dry matter were more significant in the sector's sandy area farthest from the palisade than those exposed to the wind. The average organic matter level at the fixed sites: Site 2016 (0.63%); Site fixed 2017 (0,50%) was higher than that of the non-degraded control site (0,39%). More than 70% of peasants say that the first bright dunes' appearance dates back to the 1970s, precisely after the 1973 drought. All respondents also consider the combination of mechanical and biological to be the most effective technique for fixing the dunes alive because of their complementarity. These results show that ecological restoration by mechanical and biological fixation is possible while guaranteeing the protection and monitoring of the restored site to increase its ecosystems' resilience.
