description: Quantum information science is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that is attracting the attention of academics and industry experts alike. It requires talent from a wide variety of traditional fields, including physics, engineering, chemistry, and computer science, to name a few. To prepare students for such opportunities, it is important to give them a strong foundation in the basics of quantum information science, in which quantum computing plays a central role. In this study, we discuss the development, validation, and evaluation of a tutorial on the Bloch sphere, a useful visual tool for developing intuition about single quantum bits (qubits), which are the basic building block of any quantum computer. Students' understanding was evaluated after they received traditional lecture-based instruction on the requisite topics, and again after engaging with the tutorial. We observe, analyze, and discuss their improvement in performance on concepts covered in the tutorial.

description: Quantitative structure–property relationship modelling can be a valuable alternative method to replace or reduce experimental testing. In particular, some endpoints such as octanol–water (KOW) and organic carbon–water (KOC) partition coefficients of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are easier to predict and various models have been already developed. In this paper, two different methods, which are multiple linear regression based on the descriptors generated using Dragon software and hologram quantitative structure–activity relationships, were employed to predict suspended particulate matter (SPM) derived log KOC and generator column, shake flask and slow stirring method derived log KOW values of 209 PCBs. The predictive ability of the derived models was validated using a test set. The performances of all these models were compared with EPI Suite™ software. The results indicated that the proposed models were robust and satisfactory, and could provide feasible and promising tools for the rapid assessment of the SPM derived log KOC and generator column, shake flask and slow stirring method derived log KOW values of PCBs.

description: Graph pattern matching is a fundamental problem encountered by many common graph mining tasks and the basic building block of several graph mining systems.
 This paper explores for the first time how to proactively prune graphs to speed up graph pattern matching by leveraging the structure of the query pattern and the input graph.
 We propose building auxiliary graphs, which are different pruned versions of the graph, during query execution.
 This requires careful balancing between the upfront cost of building and managing auxiliary graphs and the gains of faster set operations.
 To this end, we propose GraphMini, a new system that uses query compilation and a new cost model to minimize the cost of building and maintaining auxiliary graphs and maximize gains.
 Our evaluation shows that using GraphMini can achieve one order of magnitude speedup compared to state-of-the-art subgraph enumeration systems on commonly used benchmarks.

description: El objetivo general de esta Propuesta de Negocio es la formación de una empresa agroindustrial que se dedique a la producción de una modalidad “nueva” de uva de mesa con característica de exportación cuya demanda esté asegurada por que se trabaja bajo el sistema de “royalti”. El Perú tiene una diversidad de climas y suelos que son una ventaja competitiva con respecto a otros países de la región que hacen atractivo y ventajoso invertir aquí, es en ese contexto que vemos en los últimos años un crecimiento en la cantidad de hectáreas que se dedican a la siembra de uva de mesa (Red Globe, Thompson entre otras), al igual que el Perú otros países también han visto en la uva de mesa una excelente oportunidad de negocio, orientando sus productos al mercado Norteamericano, Europa y en menor medida Asia. El reto principal de esta Propuesta de Negocio es buscar diferenciarnos de los demás productores de uvas de mesa local, al trabajar una modalidad “nueva” llamada Arra 15; y por qué nos hemos enfocado en este tipo de uva, por que el 80% de la uva de mesa que se siembra en el Perú es Red Globe y la tendencia a nivel mundial es la misma, lo que trae como consecuencia una sobre producción y una caída del precio

description: Two Marshall-designed asphalt mixtures were developed with common coarse aggregate, added filler (1% hydrated lime) and bituminous binder (5.8% acid-modified bitumen). The target aggregate grading and overall volumetrics were not significantly different. Different fine aggregate (dust sources) were used in each asphalt mixture. Dust A contained predominantly Nontronite clay minerals while 82% of the Dust B clay minerals were identified as Hisingerite. Hisingerite is a rarely encountered and poorly studied clay mineral. Specialist geotechnical interpretation of its unique properties indicated potentially adverse impact on mastic stability and asphalt shear response. This research assessed the impact of Hisingerite clay on otherwise identical asphalt mastic, as an indicator of the impact of Hisingerite-rich dust sources on asphalt performance. Six M1000 (acid-modified) bitumen samples were each used to manufacture two mastic samples, one containing each fine aggregate. The same hydrated lime was added, and all mastic samples were manufactured with constant proportions of bitumen, added filler and fine aggregate, representative of the asphalt mixture designs. Wheel tracking, resilient modulus, tensile strength and moisture resistance testing did not indicate any detrimental effects from Hisingerite-rich Dust B nor did mastic complex modulus master curves. Multiple stress creep recovery testing found the Dust B mastic to deform less than Dust A mastic under cyclic shear. This was concluded to likely reflect the lower density and higher absorption of the Dust B fine aggregate. Despite the concerning physical properties, it was concluded that the incorporation of Hisingerite-rich fine aggregate presented no risk to asphalt performance. It follows that there is no basis for additional routine testing of potential dust sources to identify Hisingerite content. This research also highlighted the importance of controlling mastic composition during testing, with further testing at a constant ‘effective’ binder volume required. Maintaining the filler dosage constant relative to the mass (or volume) of the dust (or the bitumen) must also be considered.

description: Objectives: Rutin, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, a natural flavonol glycoside, has shown various in vitro benefits with potential use treating human diseases, especially cardiovascular system disorders. Antioxidant properties are assumed to underlie the majority of these benefits. Yet rutin pro-oxidant properties have been reported as well. Our research group has recently shown aggravating effects on isoprenaline (ISO)-induced cardiotoxicity in Wistar:Han rats after 24 hours. Methods: This study was designed to examine in more detail the reasons for the negative effects of rutin (11.5 and 46 mg/kg, i.v.) after administration of ISO (100 mg/kg, s.c.) in rats within 2 hours of continuous experiment and in the H9c2 cardiomyoblast-derived cell line. Results: Like our previous findings, rutin did not (11.5 or 46 mg/kg, i.v.) reduce the ISO-induced mortality within 2 hours although the lower dose significantly reduced cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and partly improved the histological findings. In contrast, the higher dose increased the mortality in comparison with solvent (1.26% w/v sodium bicarbonate). This was not caused by any specific haemodynamic disturbances. It appears to be associated with oxidative stress as rutin enhanced intracellular reactive oxygen species formation in vitro and had the tendency to increase it in vivo. Conclusions: Rutin, likely due to its pro-oxidative effects, can exacerbate catecholamine cardiotoxicity depending on the dose used.

description: The study of Li phenomena in red clump (RC) stars can give us a deeper understanding of the structure and evolution of stars. \citet{2022ApJ...933...58C} explained the RC Li abundance distributions naturally using only standard post main sequence (MS) Li evolution models when the distribution of progenitor masses and the depletion of Li during the MS observed in MS stars were considered, thus neither extra Li depletion nor Li creation mechanism is required. Nevertheless, it is interesting to consider the effects of mixing caused by some extra mechanisms. By constructing different models, we find that the mixing caused by internal gravity waves can explain the observed Li abundances of RC stars with low mass progenitors. To explain that, we rely on the extra mixing induced by internal gravity waves that are excited at the bottom of the convective envelope at the red giant branch (RGB) stage. During the RGB stage, introducing the internal gravity waves can improve the diffusion coefficient and strengthen the mixing effect. The effective enrichment of Li occurs at the late RGB stage and requires the diffusion coefficient of H-burning shell to reach $\rm \sim 10^{8}\,cm^{2}\,s^{-1}$. Our models predict that the Li abundance decreases from $\rm \sim 1.5\,dex$ to $\rm \sim 0.0\,dex$ at the end of core He-burning stage, thereby revealing the $\sim 99\%$ of the observed Li abundance distribution. The thermohaline mixing regulates the Li abundance of RGB stars, which combines with the internal gravity waves can explain the Li abundances of most giants.

description: The wide dissemination of fake news is increasingly threatening both individuals and society. Fake news detection aims to train a model on the past news and detect fake news of the future. Though great efforts have been made, existing fake news detection methods overlooked the unintended entity bias in the real-world data, which seriously influences models' generalization ability to future data. For example, 97\% of news pieces in 2010-2017 containing the entity `Donald Trump' are real in our data, but the percentage falls down to merely 33\% in 2018. This would lead the model trained on the former set to hardly generalize to the latter, as it tends to predict news pieces about `Donald Trump' as real for lower training loss. In this paper, we propose an entity debiasing framework (\textbf{ENDEF}) which generalizes fake news detection models to the future data by mitigating entity bias from a cause-effect perspective. Based on the causal graph among entities, news contents, and news veracity, we separately model the contribution of each cause (entities and contents) during training. In the inference stage, we remove the direct effect of the entities to mitigate entity bias. Extensive offline experiments on the English and Chinese datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework can largely improve the performance of base fake news detectors, and online tests verify its superiority in practice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to explicitly improve the generalization ability of fake news detection models to the future data.

Five new pulsars were detected. Candidates into pulsars were selected in the summed power spectra. The use of a noise generator allowed to renormalize the data and to perform correct summing up of the power spectra for individual directions in the sky. Herewith, the sensitivity increased more than 20 times in comparison with individual sessions of observations. For pulsars with pulse durations greater than 100 ms at declinations +30o

title: Asymptotic dynamics of qubit networks under randomly applied controlled unitary transformations

name: Alber, G.

Publisher: name: IOP Publishing
Year: 2024

description: The asymptotic dynamics of many-qubit quantum systems is investigated under iteratively and randomly applied unitary transformations. For a one-parameter family of unitary transformations, which entangle pairs of qubits, two main theorems are proved. They characterize completely the dependence of the resulting asymptotic dynamics on the topology of the interaction graph that encodes all possible qubit couplings. These theorems exhibit clearly which aspects of an interaction graph are relevant and which ones are irrelevant to the asymptotic dynamics. On the basis of these theorems, the local entropy transport between an open quantum system and its environment are explored for strong non-Markovian couplings and for different sizes of the environment and different interaction topologies. It is shown that although the randomly applied unitary entanglement operations cannot decrease the overall entropy of such a qubit network, a local entropy decrease or ‘cooling’ of subsystems is possible for special classes of interaction topologies.

description: Isogeometric analysis (IGA) has proven to be an improvement on the classical finite element method (FEM) in several fields, including structural mechanics and fluid dynamics. In this paper, the performance of IGA coupled with the infinite element method (IEM) for some acoustic scattering problems is investigated. In particular, the simple problem of acoustic scattering by a rigid sphere, and the scattering of acoustic waves by an elastic spherical shell with fluid domains both inside and outside, representing a full acoustic-structure interaction (ASI) problem. Finally, a mock shell and a simplified submarine benchmark are investigated. The numerical examples include comparisons between IGA and the FEM. Our main finding is that the usage of IGA significantly increases the accuracy compared to the usage of $C^0$ FEM due to increased inter-element continuity of the spline basis functions.

description: Given the ubiquitous existence of graph-structured data, learning the representations of nodes for the downstream tasks ranging from node classification, link prediction to graph classification is of crucial importance. Regarding missing link inference of diverse networks, we revisit the link prediction techniques and identify the importance of both the structural and attribute information. However, the available techniques either heavily count on the network topology which is spurious in practice or cannot integrate graph topology and features properly. To bridge the gap, we propose a bicomponent structural and attribute learning framework (BSAL) that is designed to adaptively leverage information from topology and feature spaces. Specifically, BSAL constructs a semantic topology via the node attributes and then gets the embeddings regarding the semantic view, which provides a flexible and easy-to-implement solution to adaptively incorporate the information carried by the node attributes. Then the semantic embedding together with topology embedding is fused together using an attention mechanism for the final prediction. Extensive experiments show the superior performance of our proposal and it significantly outperforms baselines on diverse research benchmarks.

description: Introduction: The thioredoxin system, consisting of thioredoxin reductase, thioredoxin and NADPH, is present in most living organisms and reduces a large array of target protein disulfides. Objective: The insulin reduction assay is commonly used to characterise thioredoxin activity in vitro, but it is not clear whether substrate saturation datasets from this assay should be fitted and modeled with the Michaelis-Menten equation (thioredoxin enzyme model), or fitted to the thioredoxin system with insulin reduction described by mass-action kinetics (redox couple model). Methods: We utilized computational modeling and in vitro assays to determine which of these approaches yield consistent and accurate kinetic parameter sets for insulin reduction. Results: Using computational modeling, we found that fitting to the redox couple model, rather than to the thioredoxin enzyme model, resulted in consistent parameter sets over a range of thioredoxin reductase concentrations. Furthermore, we established that substrate saturation in this assay was due to the progressive redistribution of the thioredoxin moiety into its oxidised form. We then confirmed these results in vitro using the yeast thioredoxin system. Discussion: This study shows how consistent parameter sets for thioredoxin activity can be obtained regardless of the thioredoxin reductase concentration used in the insulin reduction assay, and validates computational systems biology modeling studies that have described the thioredoxin system with the redox couple modeling approach.

description: Digital representations of the real world are being used in many applications, such as augmented reality. 6G systems will not only support use cases that rely on virtual worlds but also benefit from their rich contextual information to improve performance and reduce communication overhead. This paper focuses on the simulation of 6G systems that rely on a 3D representation of the environment, as captured by cameras and other sensors. We present new strategies for obtaining paired MIMO channels and multimodal data. We also discuss trade-offs between speed and accuracy when generating channels via ray tracing. We finally provide beam selection simulation results to assess the proposed methodology.

description: Objectives: To conduct a geographically defined, UK-based case-control study, to examine any association between physical activity (PA) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods: A novel historical PA questionnaire was designed, validated, and subsequently administered in individual face-to-face interviews of 175 newly diagnosed sporadic ALS cases and 317 age- and sex-matched community controls. Historical PA energy expenditure and time spent in vigorous-intensity PA were derived from questionnaire data and compared between cases and controls. Results: Participation in an extra 10kJ/kg/day of PA (equivalent to approximately 45minutes brisk walking) was consistently associated with an increased risk of ALS, with the strongest association observed for adulthood exercise-related PA (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.10-1.97). An extra 10mins/day of vigorous PA was also associated with the odds of ALS (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1·01-1·05). Results were slightly attenuated following adjustment for smoking and educational attainment. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the first study to demonstrate a positive association between ALS and PA participation using a specifically designed and validated historical PA questionnaire. Despite the well-established health benefits of PA, a high activity lifestyle may also be associated with elevated risk of ALS. Large-scale prospective studies in the future may help to confirm this association.

description: Spatial simulations are a valuable tool in understanding dynamic spatial processes. In developing these simulations, it is often required to make decisions about how to represent features in the environment and how events unfold in time. These spatial and temporal choices have been shown to significantly alter model outcomes, yet their interaction is less well understood. In this paper, we make use of a simple group foraging model and systematically vary how features are represented (cell size of the landscape) as well as how events unfold in time (order in which foragers take action) to better understand their interaction. Our results show similar nonlinear responses to changes in spatial representation found in the literature, and an effect of the order in which agents were processed. There was also a clear interaction between how features are represented and how events unfold in time, where, under certain environmental representations results were found to be more sensitive to the order in which individuals were processed. Furthermore, the effects of feature representation, scheduling of agents, and their interaction were all found to be influenced by the heterogeneity of the spatial surface (food), suggesting that the statistical properties of the underlying spatial variable will additionally play a role. We suggest that navigating these interactions can be facilitated through a better understanding of how these choices affect the decision landscape(s) on which agents operate. Specifically, how changes to representation affect aggregation and resolution of the decision surface, and thereby the degree to which agents interact directly or indirectly. We suggest that the challenges of dealing with spatial representation, scheduling, and their interaction, while building models could also present an opportunity. As explicitly including alternate representations and scheduling choices during model selection can aid in identifying optimal agent–environment representations. Potentially leading to improved insights into the relationships between spatial processes and the environments in which they occur.

description: In six-degrees-of-freedom light-field (LF) experiences, the viewer's freedom is limited by the extent to which the plenoptic function was sampled. Existing LF datasets represent only small portions of the plenoptic function, such that they either cover a small volume, or they have limited field of view. Therefore, we propose a new LF image dataset "SILVR" that allows for six-degrees-of-freedom navigation in much larger volumes while maintaining full panoramic field of view. We rendered three different virtual scenes in various configurations, where the number of views ranges from 642 to 2226. One of these scenes (called Zen Garden) is a novel scene, and is made publicly available. We chose to position the virtual cameras closely together in large cuboid and spherical organisations ($2.2m^3$ to $48m^3$), equipped with 180° fish-eye lenses. Every view is rendered to a color image and depth map of 2048px $\times$ 2048px. Additionally, we present the software used to automate the multi-view rendering process, as well as a lens-reprojection tool that converts between images with panoramic or fish-eye projection to a standard rectilinear (i.e., perspective) projection. Finally, we demonstrate how the proposed dataset and software can be used to evaluate LF coding/rendering techniques(in this case for training NeRFs with instant-ngp). As such, we provide the first publicly-available LF dataset for large volumes of light with full panoramic field of view

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Based on direct numerical simulations of forced turbulence, shear turbulence, decaying turbulence, a turbulent channel flow as well as a Kolmogorov flow with Taylor-based Reynolds numbers Reλ between 69 and 295, the normalized probability density function of the length distribution of dissipation elements, the conditional mean scalar difference ⟨Δk∣l⟩ at the extreme points as well as the scaling of the two-point velocity difference along gradient trajectories ⟨Δun⟩ are studied. Using the field of the instantaneous turbulent kinetic energy k as a scalar, we find good agreement between the model equation for as proposed by Wang and Peters (2008 J. Fluid Mech. 608 113–38) and the results obtained in the different direct numerical simulation cases. This confirms the independence of the model solution from both the Reynolds number and the type of turbulent flow, so that it can be considered universally valid. In addition, we show a 2/3 scaling for the mean conditional scalar difference. In the second part of the paper, we examine the scaling of the conditional two-point velocity difference along gradient trajectories. In particular, we compare the linear s/τ scaling, where τ denotes an integral time scale and s the separation arclength along a gradient trajectory in the inertial range as derived by Wang (2009 Phys. Rev. E 79 046325) with the s·a∞ scaling, where a∞ denotes the asymptotic value of the conditional mean strain rate of large dissipation elements.

description: Commit messages play an important role in several software engineering tasks such as program comprehension and understanding program evolution. However, programmers neglect to write good commit messages. Hence, several Commit Message Generation (CMG) tools have been proposed. We observe that the recent state of the art CMG tools use simple and easy to compute automated evaluation metrics such as BLEU4 or its variants. The advances in the field of Machine Translation (MT) indicate several weaknesses of BLEU4 and its variants. They also propose several other metrics for evaluating Natural Language Generation (NLG) tools. In this work, we discuss the suitability of various MT metrics for the CMG task. Based on the insights from our experiments, we propose a new variant specifically for evaluating the CMG task. We re-evaluate the state of the art CMG tools on our new metric. We believe that our work fixes an important gap that exists in the understanding of evaluation metrics for CMG research.

description: Objectives: Harmonic devices have become a world-wide standard for dissection and hemostasis in thyroidectomy. Numerous systematic reviews have reported superior operating times, blood loss, post-operative pain, length of stay, and overall safety outcomes. What has not been extensively evaluated in a robust manner is their economic impact. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hospital costs associated with open thyroidectomy using Harmonic devices compared with conventional techniques for hemostasis. Methods: A systematic review of Medline, Scopus, and CENTRAL was performed from January 1, 2000 to May 23, 2014 without language restrictions for randomized clinical trials comparing Harmonic surgical devices to conventional methods in thyroidectomy. The main outcome measure was total reported costs. Costs were pooled using the ratio of means and a random effects model. Sensitivity analyses assessed whether differences in patient and trial characteristics, healthcare setting, or choice of statistical model affected outcomes. Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 476 participants had procedures performed with Harmonic devices and 478 with conventional monopolar electrosurgery and clamp, cut and tie techniques. Compared with conventional techniques, Harmonic devices reduced total reported costs by 10% (p = 0.007), resulting in a $229 US dollars (USD) absolute reduction from mean baseline costs. Results remained relatively robust to additional sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates that the Harmonic family of surgical devices is associated with a reduction in total reported costs in thyroidectomy compared with conventional techniques. A large portion of the overall savings derives from a reduction in operative costs.

description: Since the lack of IPv6 network development, China is currently accelerating IPv6 deployment. In this scenario, traffic and network structure show a huge shift. However, due to the long-term prosperity, we are ignorant of the problems behind such outbreak of traffic and performance improvement events in accelerating deployment. IPv6 development in some regions will still face similar challenges in the future. To contribute to solving this problem, in this paper, we produce a new measurement framework and implement a 5-month passive measurement on the IPv6 network during the accelerating deployment in China. We combine 6 global-scale datasets to form the normal status of IPv6 network, which is against to the accelerating status formed by the passive traffic. Moreover, we compare with the traffic during World IPv6 Day 2011 and Launch 2012 to discuss the common nature of accelerating deployment. Finally, the results indicate that the IPv6 accelerating deployment is often accompanied by an unbalanced network status. It exposes unresolved security issues including the challenge of user privacy and inappropriate access methods. According to the investigation, we point the future IPv6 development after accelerating deployment.

description: Memristor crossbar architecture is one of the most popular circuit configurations due to its wide range of practical applications. The crossbar architecture can emulate the weighted summation operation, called multiply and accumulate operation (MAC). The errors to MAC computing get introduced due to a range of crossbar variability. We broadly group the variability in three categories: (1) device-to-device variations, (2) programming nonlinearity, and (3) those from peripheral circuits. This tutorial provides insights into the variability and compensation approaches that can be adopted to reduce its impact when designing for practical applications with crossbars.
