description: Quantum conferencing enables multiple nodes within a quantum network to share a secure group key for private message broadcasting. The key rate, however, is limited by the repeaterless capacity to distribute multiparticle entangled states across the network. Currently, in the finite-size regime, no feasible schemes utilizing existing experimental techniques can overcome the fundamental rate-distance limit of quantum conferencing in quantum networks without repeaters. Here, we propose a practical, multi-field scheme that breaks this limit, involving virtually establishing Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states through post-measurement coincidence matching. This proposal features a measurement-device-independent characteristic and can directly scale to support any number of users. Simulations show that the fundamental limitation on the group key rate can be overcome in a reasonable running time of sending $10^{14}$ pulses. We predict that it offers an efficient design for long-distance broadcast communication in future quantum networks.

description: The study of atmospheric processes related to climate requires a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing physics, chemistry, meteorology, forest science, and environmental science. The Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence in atmospheric sciences (CoE ATM) responded to that need for 18 years and produced extensive research and eloquent results, which are summarized in this review. The work in the CoE ATM enhanced our understanding in biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem processes, dynamics of aerosols, ions and neutral clusters in the lower atmosphere, and cloud formation and their interactions and feedbacks. The CoE ATM combined continuous and comprehensive long-term in-situ observations in various environments, ecosystems and platforms, ground- and satellite-based remote sensing, targeted laboratory and field experiments, and advanced multi-scale modeling. This has enabled improved conceptual understanding and quantifications across relevant spatial and temporal scales. Overall, the CoE ATM served as a platform for the multidisciplinary research community to explore the interactions between the biosphere and atmosphere under a common and adaptive framework.

Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2017

description: Drainage of acid-sulphate soils mainly for agriculture, increases oxidation and leads to extensive leaching of acidity and aluminium (Al) to rivers in western Finland. The lowest average pH (4.55) values and the highest average Al concentrations (7.4 mg l–1) were measured in the Vöyrinjoki, which appeared to be void of fish. Frequency of sites with no fish was clearly the highest (59%) in rivers with average pH < 5. Total fish density and biomass were the highest at the sites with pH > 6. The two fish species that are most tolerant to acidity, pike (Esox lucius) and perch (Perca fluviatilis), were found in rivers with an average pH as low as 4.6. Acid-sensitive species, especially grayling (Thymallus thymallus), brown trout (Salmo trutta) and minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus), were usually not found in rivers with average water pH < 6. To mitigate acidification of river waters, controlled farmland drainage techniques should be applied.

description: To improve water quality in a heavily eutrophicated lake (Köyliönjärvi, SW Finland), mass removal of fish was performed in 1992–1998. The fish stock declined from an estimated 170–250 kg ha–1 in 1991–1992 to 40–90 kg ha–1 in 1996–1998 or to 12%–25% of the initial biomass. The biomass of the larger cladocerans slightly increased in 1991–1996 but decreased again in 1997, and chlorophyll a levels varied inversely with the cladoceran biomass. Cyanobacteria initially declined, but altogether the water quality effects of fish removal remained small up to the summer 1997. The roles of phosphorus, submerged macrophytes (Elodea) and fish were further explored in a factorial enclosure experiment. Significant treatment effects were only observed in the earliest phase of the experiment, when the presence of macrophytes decreased and that of fish increased phytoplankton chlorophyll a; later fish treatments were lost. Phosphorus additions had no effect on water quality, but at the end of the experiment phytoplankton chlorophyll a was negatively correlated with the biomass of large cladocerans and positively correlated with total phosphorus concentration. The enclosure effect was strong, all enclosures having much lower nutrient and chlorophyll levels than the surrounding lake. The experiment suggests that it is possible to improve water quality through removal fishing even in hypertrophic lakes, but the fish stock, including the young-of-the-year fish, must be decimated to a very low level.
Droughts and rainfall in south-eastern Finland since AD 874, inferred from Scots pine ring-widths

Year: 2003

description: Early summer (May–June) precipitation variability was reconstructed for south-eastern Finland using a millennia-long (from 874 to present day) ring-width chronology of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). A regression-based calibration model using tree-ring widths captured 31% of the variance in the observed precipitation record. The time stability of the reconstruction equations was studied by cross-calibration/verification. Additional verification was provided by a neighbouring weather station. Interannual variability as well as periods of abundant rainfall and drought are presented. The three most humid early summers occurred in 1090, 1094 and 1924, and the driest in 939, 943 and 1116. Prolonged periods of severe drought took place during 1173–1191, 1664–1680 and 1388–1402, and wet spells during 1081–1095, 1433–1447 and 1752–1765. Fast Fourier transform showed the most dominant cyclic behaviour on interdecadal time scales.

description: To facilitate effective decision-making, precipitation datasets should include uncertainty estimates. Quantile regression with machine learning has been proposed for issuing such estimates. Distributional regression offers distinct advantages over quantile regression, including the ability to model intermittency as well as a stronger ability to extrapolate beyond the training data, which is critical for predicting extreme precipitation. Therefore, here, we introduce the concept of distributional regression in precipitation dataset creation, specifically for the spatial prediction task of correcting satellite precipitation products. Building upon this concept, we formulated new ensemble learning methods that can be valuable not only for spatial prediction but also for other prediction problems. These methods exploit conditional zero-adjusted probability distributions estimated with generalized additive models for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS), spline-based GAMLSS and distributional regression forests as well as their ensembles (stacking based on quantile regression and equal-weight averaging). To identify the most effective methods for our specific problem, we compared them to benchmarks using a large, multi-source precipitation dataset. Stacking was shown to be superior to individual methods at most quantile levels when evaluated with the quantile loss function. Moreover, while the relative ranking of the methods varied across different quantile levels, stacking methods, and to a lesser extent mean combiners, exhibited lower variance in their performance across different quantiles compared to individual methods that occasionally ranked extremely low. Overall, a task-specific combination of multiple distributional regression algorithms could yield significant benefits in terms of stability.

description: We analysed the effects of the Baltic Sea on coastal temperatures in the Turku region (SW Finland) using a six-year long data series from a network of 36 temperature loggers. The sea effect was filtered from other factors with monthly linear regression models for average, daily minimum and daily maximum temperatures. The sea effect (in °C) was determined using a variable combining the shortest distance to the shoreline and the area of waterbodies within a buffer zone. The sea effect proved to be the strongest in spring and in autumn. The sea effect caused an increase in daily minimum temperatures (warming effect). Daily average temperatures also increased in summer, autumn and winter due to the sea effect; in spring however, there no such increase was recorded. Based on multiple linear regression, the maximum absolute increase in temperatures due to the sea effect occurs during night in late summer and early autumn (by ca. 2 °C), while the maximum decrease occurs in daytime in spring and early summer (by ca. 0.7 °C).

description: The boundary-layer structures of the operational atmospheric model HIRLAM were validated over the Baltic Sea on the basis of rawinsonde soundings and surface-layer observations during r/v Aranda expeditions. The validation was made for two regions in 1999: a coastal sea ice zone in March and the Baltic Proper in October. In March, HIRLAM wind analyses and six-hour forecasts were very good. The main discrepancies were related to the surface and 2-m temperatures: in cold nights the inversions were too weak and delayed in HIRLAM. Experiments applying a two-dimensional mesoscale model suggested that HIRLAM results could be improved by updating the values of surface albedo and the parameters of the force-restore surface temperature scheme on the basis of the snow age and temperature. In October, the temperature profiles were accurate within 0.5 K, on average, but the boundary layer was too moist in HIRLAM. The wind speed in the analyses and six-hour forecasts was accurate within 1 m s–1, and errors in the sea surface temperature had a strong effect on the turbulent surface fluxes.

description: We study thermal leptogenesis in realistic supersymmetric flipped $SU(5)\times U(1)$ unification. As up-type quarks and neutrinos are arranged in the same multiplets, they exhibit strong correlations, and it is commonly believed that the masses of right-handed (RH) neutrinos are too hierarchical to fit the low-energy neutrino data. This pattern generally predicts a lightest RH neutrino too light to yield successful leptogenesis, with any lepton-antilepton asymmetry generated from heavier neutrinos being washed out unless special flavour structures are assumed. We propose a different scenario in which the lightest two RH neutrinos $N_1$ and $N_2$ have nearby masses of order $10^9$ GeV, with thermal leptogenesis arising non-resonantly from both $N_1$ and $N_2$. We show that this pattern is consistent with all data on fermion masses and mixing and predicts the lightest physical left-handed neutrino mass to be smaller than about $10^{-7}$~eV. The Dirac phase, which does not take the maximal CP-violating value, plays an important role in leptogenesis.

description: Atmospheric aerosol particles were collected with a high-volume sampler in a Finnish coniferous forest during the field campaign Quantification of Aerosol Nucleation in the European Boundary Layer (QUEST) in March–April 2003. Four chromatographic techniques were applied to characterise the organic composition of the samples, and to study variations in the concentrations of identified compounds. Among the nearly 160 organic compounds identified were n-alkanes, n-alkanals, n-alkan-2-ones, n-alkanols, n-alkanoic acids, n-alkenoic acids, dicarboxylic acids, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, hopanes, streranes, terpenes and terpenoids. The observed variations in the concentrations of certain compounds were mostly explained by ambient temperature. Comparison of days when atmospheric new particle formation took place with days when the formation did not occur, however, revealed higher concentrations of long-chain n-alkanes (> C22) and < C18 n-alkanoic acids on the particle formation days.

description: Background: Deep learning models have shown promise in diagnosing neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) like ASD and ADHD. However, many models either use graph neural networks (GNN) to construct single-level brain functional networks (BFNs) or employ spatial convolution filtering for local information extraction from rs-fMRI data, often neglecting high-order features crucial for NDD classification. Methods: We introduce a Multi-view High-order Network (MHNet) to capture hierarchical and high-order features from multi-view BFNs derived from rs-fMRI data for NDD prediction. MHNet has two branches: the Euclidean Space Features Extraction (ESFE) module and the Non-Euclidean Space Features Extraction (Non-ESFE) module, followed by a Feature Fusion-based Classification (FFC) module for NDD identification. ESFE includes a Functional Connectivity Generation (FCG) module and a High-order Convolutional Neural Network (HCNN) module to extract local and high-order features from BFNs in Euclidean space. Non-ESFE comprises a Generic Internet-like Brain Hierarchical Network Generation (G-IBHN-G) module and a High-order Graph Neural Network (HGNN) module to capture topological and high-order features in non-Euclidean space. Results: Experiments on three public datasets show that MHNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods using both AAL1 and Brainnetome Atlas templates. Extensive ablation studies confirm the superiority of MHNet and the effectiveness of using multi-view fMRI information and high-order features. Our study also offers atlas options for constructing more sophisticated hierarchical networks and explains the association between key brain regions and NDD. Conclusion: MHNet leverages multi-view feature learning from both Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces, incorporating high-order information from BFNs to enhance NDD classification performance.

description: Different water treatment alternatives used to reduce sediment from peat mines were compared with a mathematical model. The simulation tested the benefit of different alternatives to reduce sediment tranport during a simulated storm. Traditional structures such as bed ditch pipe barriers, sedimentation ponds were compared against new alternatives such as artificial floodplains, and peak runoff control structures. The results of simulations show that detention of peak discharge is the most efficient way to reduce sediment transport. When runoff peaks are reduced traditional sedimentation ponds seem to have a smaller effect on sediment transport; increased settling is achieved by using shallow settling basins such as artificial floodplains.

description: The DIAMIX (DIApycnal MIXing) project aims at investigating wind-driven vertical mixing below the pycnocline. Since tides are exceedingly weak in the Baltic an area east of Gotland was chosen as the study area. Two pilot surveys and two main experiments were conducted between June 1997 and September 2000. The joint effort is motivated to cover as many scales as possible of the distribution of kinetic and potential energy. This paper describes the main features found in the field measurements. Inertial currents, near-inertial waves and internal seiches are the bulk features in the mooring data. Acting against topography these currents may generate strong clockwise and anti-clockwise rotating eddies as well as up- and down-welling which has been observed mainly from ship-borne measurements. From turbulent dissipation measurements the stabilizing effect of the stratification can clearly be seen. Dissipation measurements at the slope indicate a much higher dissipation rate there as compared to the deeper station. All these effects have to be taken into account to add up the power needed to explain the turbulent dissipation and work against buoyancy forces connected to diapycnal mixing in the deepwater as estimated from long-term modeling.

description: Diurnal and vertical grazing activity of the most dominant mesozooplankton species was studied during the summer 1987 in the coastal area of the SW Finland. The samples for gut fluorescence measurements (Chl-a + phaeopigments) were taken from five depths between the surface and 35 m depth four times a day. Chl-a concentration was higher in the upper water layer of 10 m than at 20 m depth, and higher in the daytime (1300 and 1900 hrs samplings) than by night (0100 and 0700 hrs samplings). The ambient Chl-a concentration explained 34% to 90% of the variation in the gut pigment contents of Eurytemora affinis, Bosmina longispina maritima and Synchaeta spp., when the whole data was examined using the linear regression analysis. In Acartia spp. this relation was insignificant. The gut pigment contents of copepods, B. longispina maritima and Synchaeta spp. were higher in the upper water layer (0 to 10 m) than in the deeper layer (20 to 35 m), but only by night. Diurnal variation was not found within either of the water layers or vertically between the layers in the daytime. The gut pigment content of the cladocerans Podon/Pleopsis spp. and Evadne nordmanni exceeded several times that of copepods and B.longispina maritima. The estimated daily specific ingestion rate (ingestion% of body carbon) varied from 2% to 12% in Acartia spp. and 3% to 28% in E. affinis, the highest percentages being found in the upper water layer. For Pseudocalanus minutus enlongatus, which was mostly found in the deeper depths, the corresponding percentage was only 4%. Carbon originating from other sources than phytoplankton was likely to be important for the nutrition of copepods.

description: Fifteen lakes in the Finnish Lapland were investigated to study acidification and pollution effects on metal concentrations in sediments. In four lakes the pH was lower than 6.0 and the alkalinity was lower than 50 meq l–1. Contamination factor (Cf, ratio of metal concentration of the top layer to the bottom layer in a sediment core) of Pb (Cf = 10.1–10.4) was high in comparison to other investigated heavy metals, particularly in acidic lakes. Lake acidification results in decreasing Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Al concentrations towards the sediment surface. Reduction of organic material content (loss on ignition) in upper sediments of acidic lakes was also noticed. The buffer capacity index (BCI, ratio of sum of alkaline and alkaline-earth metals (K, Na, Ca, Mg) to Al) was lower in the acidic lakes (0.12–0.36) than in the other studied lakes (0.42–1.34)

description: In Artificial Intelligence, first-order Logic is the most basic form of knowledge representation and the fundamental theory for almost all rule-based inference mechanisms. It is the direct translation if Logic and Boole Algerbra into programming primitives that can be formulated into such a programming language, like Prolog and LISP.In this second lecture, Predicate Calculus is presented with the fundamental entities, functions and inference, including reasoning and resolution. The main difference with Propositional Calculus is that here we have the generalization of working with variables and groups of atoms. Hence, universal and existential descriptors come into play, so are the extra steps required to address these within the resolution process. This is the base of all "real" logic programming with variables and graph search algorithms.

description: We investigated the role of atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) in the Continental Biosphere-Atmosphere-Cloud-Climate (COBACC) feedback mechanism, particularly the influences of NPF on condensation sink and particle number and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations. Using atmospheric observations at the SMEAR II station in Hyytiälä, Finland, we showed that the growth rates of particles originating from NPF are relatively constant, depending only weakly on low-volatility vapor concentrations and having no apparent connection with the strength of NPF or the level of background pollution. We then constrained aerosol dynamic model simulations with these observations. We showed that under conditions typical for the boreal forest atmosphere, even the weakest NPF with a relatively low particle formation rate of 0.01 cm–3 s–1 at 5 nm (J5) is capable of enhancing the condensation sink (CS) to values larger than 0.001 s–1 after two days of particle growth. When J5 lies in a typical NPF range between about 0.1 and 0.5 cm–3 s–1 at SMEAR II, the growing-mode particles originating from NPF tend to dominate the total CS at this station. Increases in CS associated with NPF further increase the ratio of diffuse radiation to global radiation under clear sky by factors between about 1.5 and 2 at SMEAR II, which boosts the forest gross primary production and enhances forest carbon sink. Furthermore, when J5 is larger than about 0.1 cm–3 s–1, NPF frequently produces particle number concentrations larger than 1000 cm–3 into the size range relevant for cloud droplet activation. We conclude that outside the late autumn and winter periods when the frequency of NPF is low at SMEAR II, NPF followed by subsequent particle growth is able to give a dominant contribution to both CS and CCN concentration — the two most relevant aerosol-related quantities in the COBACC feedback mechanism. With some reservation, the same conclusion is likely to hold over large regions in the boreal forest zone.

description: The phyllopod Lepidurus arcticus, commonly called the arctic tadpole shrimp, is an important food item of both Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus and brown trout Salmo trutta in lakes in Iceland and Scandinavia, especially at low fish densities. In the High Arctic, the tadpole shrimp is abundant in fishless localities, but absent or rare in most lakes where fish are present. We studied the diet of Arctic charr in the Straumsjøen watercourse on Spitsbergen, the main island of Svalbard. The outlet river is dry nine months of the year, and all Arctic charr present during summer have descended from the lake. We found that tadpole shrimp contributed substantially to the diet of charr in the outlet river, while it was not found in charr caught in the lake. Low fish density combined with low discharge after hatching of tadpole shrimp eggs may have favoured the co-occurrence of this lacustrine crustacean and Arctic charr in a running water locality. The potential effect of climate change on the occurrence of riverine tadpole shrimp is still uncertain. Retreat of glaciers and decreased turbidity may promote tadpole shrimp, but a predicted increase in precipitation may also have adverse impacts by increasing the risk of flushing tadpole shrimp out of the streams, and thus affecting the Arctic charr diet in running waters on Svalbard.

description: Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus Dana) originating from Lake Tahoe, California, were introduced into a small (11 ha) lake, Iso-Majajärvi, in Central Finland (61°52´N, 23°51´E) in 1969. Since then, the population has been monitored regularly by trap catching. The stocked signal crayfish (3+ to 5+ years old) were caught until 1975, by when they reached ages of 8+ to 10+ years. First juveniles were born in 1970. Catches and population sizes were low during the study period. The catch peaked in 1983 at 0.6 ind./trap/night. The population size was estimated at 670 trappable specimens. Population size then declined, and has since fluctuated between 200 and 400 individuals. Despite annual variations, mean CPUE indicate a small, but statistically significant, increase in later years. The slow development of the P. leniusculus population has been attributed to environmental factors, especially the combination of limited area of suitable crayfish habitat and the low Ca concentration with periodic acidity. Fifty percent of the female P. leniusculus matured at ca. 84 mm. Consequently, half of the females entered the breeding population in the autumn of their third year (3+). The signal crayfish imported into Finland and stocked were infected with crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci), but no mortality has been recorded.

Effects of climatic change on hydrological patterns of a forested catchment: a physically based modeling approach

Year: 1997

description: Effects of climatic change on hydrological patterns on a catchment scale were evaluated using a semi-distributed, topographic TOPMODEL. The model was calibrated to a forested catchment for the period 1991–92 with a daily time step, using a model version with a snow subroutine. The main criteria in the model calibration were to fit simulated and observed runoff, to obtain an adequate water balance and to compare simulated and observed groundwater depths and water equivalents of snow. The model was tested with data from the years 1993–94, and long-term forecasts of up to 100 years were conducted. Precipitation and temperature input were obtained from the CLIGEN weather generator, which generates stochastic daily time series of these variables, according to the SILMU-policy oriented scenarios high (annual increase in precipitation 1.5%/decade and in temperature 0.6 °C/decade), and low (annual increase in precipitation 0.25%/decade and in temperature 0.1 °C/decade). Ten high scenarios and ten low scenarios were used as an input to TOPMODEL, in order to predict long-term changes of annual averages and interannual variability in runoff, evapotranspiration and average amount of soil water. According to the model runs conducted, first an increase of 4% (12 mm) and then a slight decrease (2–7%, i.e. 6–18 mm) in annual runoff was predicted. The most notable change in runoff was the change from the present spring high flow to a more evenly disributed winter flow. Soil moisture was predicted to increase during the autumn and winter periods and to decrease during summer. A strong reduction of 80–90% in the volume and duration of the snow cover was predicted by the high SILMU scenario during the next 100 years. The reduction by 2050 was predicted to be about 50%. Already at present, three years (1991–93) of the observation period could be considered as ‘future’ winters with very little snow and several distinct, short snow accumulation/melting periods.

description: Eurasian perch has a great ecological importance in freshwaters as it is often a dominating predatory fish in ecosystems. The knowledge of perch feeding patterns, strategies, and adaptivity to food environment in their early life stages is essential to understand its population development and dynamics. It has been demonstrated that there exists a positive relationships between preferred prey availability and larval feeding success. We examined the diet of larval perch in their natural habitats of different zooplankton assemblages in three small lakes with varying ecological status. In each lake, both pelagial and littoral were studied. We found significant relation between zooplankton biomass in the lake and zooplankton biomass consumed by fish larvae. The most important food objects were crustaceans (Bosmina longirostris, Chydorus sphaericus). Ciliates were consumed only in one lake. Our results show that perch larvae are flexible in their choice of food and can adapt to different food environments.
