description: In the rapidly growing area of quantum information, the Deutsch algorithm is ubiquitous and, in most cases, the first one to be introduced to any student of this relatively new field of research. The reason for this historical relevance stems from the fact that, although extremely simple, the algorithm conveys all the main features of more complex quantum computations. In spite of its simplicity, the uncountable experimental realizations of the algorithm in a broad variety of physical systems are in general quite involved. The aim of this work is two-fold: to introduce the basic concepts of quantum computation for readers with just a minimum knowledge of quantum mechanics and to present a novel and entirely accessible implementation of a classical analogue of the quantum Deutsch algorithm. By employing only elementary optical devices, such as lenses and diode lasers, this experimental realization has a striking advantage over all previous implementations: it can easily be understood and reproduced in most basic undergraduate or even high-level school laboratories.

The α6 helix in PML forms an α-helix where A153 and I154 are hydrogen bonded to L157 and E158 respectively. The α6 helix in PMLVG forms a 310 helix where A153 and I154 are hydrogen bonded to A156 and L157 respectively. This different hydrogen bonding pattern changes the structure of the helix and the orientation of the hydrophobic amino acids lining the active site. Figure S4.

description: We report on a deep spectroscopic survey for star-to-star CN variations along the main sequence (MS) of the globular cluster 47 Tuc with ESO's VLT. We find a significant bimodal distribution in the S(3839) index for main-sequence stars in the mass range of ~0.85 to 0.65 M_sun, or from the main-sequence turn-off down to ~2.5 mag below the main sequence turn-off. An anti-correlation of CN and CH is evident on the MS. The result is discussed in the context of the ability of faint MS stars to alter their surface composition through internal evolutionary effects. We argue against internal stellar evolution as the only origin for the abundance spread in 47 Tuc; an external origin such as pollution seems to be more likely.

description: We introduce a new approach for the robust control of quantum dynamics of strongly interacting many-body systems. Our approach involves the design of periodic global control pulse sequences to engineer desired target Hamiltonians that are robust against disorder, unwanted interactions and pulse imperfections. It utilizes a matrix representation of the Hamiltonian engineering protocol based on time-domain transformations of the Pauli spin operator along the quantization axis. This representation allows us to derive a concise set of algebraic conditions on the sequence matrix to engineer robust target Hamiltonians, enabling the simple yet systematic design of pulse sequences. We show that this approach provides an efficient framework to (i) treat any secular many-body Hamiltonian and engineer it into a desired form, (ii) target dominant disorder and interaction characteristics of a given system, (iii) achieve robustness against imperfections, (iv) provide optimal sequence length within given constraints, and (v) substantially accelerate numerical searches of pulse sequences. Using this systematic approach, we develop novel sets of pulse sequences for the protection of quantum coherence, optimal quantum sensing and quantum simulation. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate the robust operation of these sequences in a system with the most general interaction form.

 C o m m e n t: The original description of A. rutilipennis is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from " Ungarn: Kesmark [today Kežmarok in Slovakia]; Kaukasus (Manglis), Araxesthal" (REITTER 1909). Five of them were found in the Reitter collection at the HNHM, two males from "Kesmark" and three females from "Manglis" and "Araxesthal". One of the males is designated as the lectotype. Like the male paralectotype, it is conspecific with A. gracilis (PAYKULL); the same is probably true of the female paralectotypes. The coloration of the elytra of the examined types differs from the usual condition in A. gracilis in that the blackish markings are reduced to a darker scutellar area and sometimes to an additional dark spot near the middle of the lateral margins, but the aedeagus is identical; for illustrations of the aedeagus of the male paralectotype of Astenus rutilipennis see Figs 1-2. Consequently, A. rutilipennis is placed in the synonymy of A. gracilis.

description: Pursuing the original idea proposed in our previous paper (Paper I), we improve the method to determine the shape of the initial curvature perturbation spectrum $P(k)$ from the CMB data. The thickness of the last scattering surface (LSS) and the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, which we neglect in Paper I, are taken into account and an iterative method is newly developed. The new method can reproduce the primordial power spectra with a high accuracy, given the correct values of the cosmological parameters. Conversely, there appear spurious peaks and dips in the reconstructed power spectrum if we use the cosmological parameters slightly different from the true values, while there appear regions of negative $P(k)$ in some cases if we use substantially different values. In other words, the tacit assumption that the cosmological parameters can be determined for an assumed initial spectrum is verified by our reconstruction method. In addition, it could be a new tool to constrain the cosmological parameters without recourse to models of the primordial power spectra.

description: Our sample of cool dwarf stars from previous papers is extended in this study including 15 moderately metal-deficient stars. The samples of halo and thick disk stars have overlapping metallicities with [Fe/H] in the region from -0.9 to -1.5, and we first compare chemical properties of these two kinematically different stellar populations independent on their metallicity. We present barium, europium and magnesium abundances for the new sample of stars. The results are based on NLTE line formation obtained in differential model atmosphere analyses of high resolution spectra observed mainly using the UVES spectrogragh at the VLT of ESO. We confirm the overabundance of Eu relative to Mg in the halo stars. Eight halo stars show the [Eu/Mg] ratios between 0.23 and 0.41, whereas stars in the thick and thin disk display a solar Eu to Mg ratio. The [Eu/Ba] values found in the thick disk stars to lie between 0.35 and 0.57 suggest that during the thick disk formation evolved low-mass stars started to enrich the interstellar gas by s-nuclei of Ba, and the s-process contribution to Ba varies from 30% to 50%. Based on these results, and using the chemical evolution calculations by Travaglio et al. (1999), we estimate that the thick disk stellar population formed on a timescale from 1.1 to 1.6 Gyr from the beginning of the protogalactic collapse. In the halo stars the [Eu/Ba] ratios are found mostly between 0.40 and 0.67, which suggests a duration of the halo formation of about 1.5 Gyr. For the whole sample of stars we present the even-to-odd Ba isotope ratios as determined from hyperfine structure seen in the Ba II resonance line lambda4554. Based on these data we deduce for the thick disk stars the ratio of the s/r-process contribution to barium as 30 : 70 (+- 30%), in agreement with the results obtained from the [Eu/Ba] ratios.

description: Extensible 3D (X3D) modeling language is one of the leading Web3D technologies. Despite the rich functionality, the language does not currently provide tools for rapid development of conventional graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Every X3D author is responsible for building from primitives a purpose specific set of required interface components, often for a single use. We address the challenge of creating consistent, efficient, interactive, and visually appealing GUIs by proposing the X3D User Interface (X3DUI) library. This library includes a wide range of cross-compatible X3D widgets, equipped with configurable appearance and behavior. With this library, we attempt to standardize the GUI construction across various X3D-driven projects, and improve the usability, compatibility, adaptability, readability, and flexibility of many existing applications.

description: We study the interaction of a (classical) light field with the magnetic degrees of freedom in the two-dimensional antiferromagnet Sr$_2$IrO$_4$. The reduced space group symmetry of the crystal allows for several channels for spin-operator bilinears to couple to the electric field. Integrating out high-energy degrees of freedom in a Keldysh framework, we derive induced effective fields which enter the equations of motion of the low-energy mode of in-plane rotations which couple to the out-of-plane magnetization. Considering a pump-probe protocol, these induced fields excite magnetization oscillations which can subsequently probed, e.g. using Kerr rotation. We discuss how the induced fields depend on polarization and frequency of the driving light, and our study applies to both resonant and non-resonant regimes. Crucially, the induced fields depend on the two-magnon density of states, thus allowing for further insight into properties of the magnetic excitation spectrum. Furthermore, these effects rely upon (weak) magnon-interactions, and so are beyond a "Floquet magnon" description.

 Discussion. This species occurs in Hispaniola, Cuba, and Puerto Rico (Monné 2015). Two specimens examined had simply “ Haiti ” as label data, so are represented on the map by a dot on the capital, Port-au-Prince. In Hispaniola, this species has been taken from March through August, with one record from Jarabacoa collected in December. Specimens are attracted to lights and fermenting fruit traps, mostly in lowlands, but are uncommon. This species is remarkable for its sexual dimorphism as well as its allometry in mandibular size in males. Some “major” males have extremely large, upcurved mandibles exceeding 20 mm in length (Fig. 1a). The largest males can exceed 100 mm (including mandibles). One very small male from Nisibon, only 33 mm long, was examined.
 The combination of densely pubescent elytra with rounded apices with a small sutural spine, densely pubescent scutellum, spatulate prosternal process, and third antennomere longer than scape are diagnostic for this species. The holotype cannot be located in the MNHN and is believed to be lost (G. Tavakilian, personal communication). Callipogon proletarium Lameere from Puerto Rico is very similar and perhaps should be considered a synonym. Examination of photographs of the two syntypes (both females) and the original description of Lameere (1904) show no apparent differences from the characters of C. sericeum.

description: Quantum metrology makes use of coherent superpositions to detect weak signals. While in principle the sensitivity can be improved by increasing the density of sensing particles, in practice this improvement is severely hindered by interactions between them. Using a dense ensemble of interacting electronic spins in diamond, we demonstrate a novel approach to quantum metrology. It is based on a new method of robust quantum control, which allows us to simultaneously eliminate the undesired effects associated with spin-spin interactions, disorder and control imperfections, enabling a five-fold enhancement in coherence time compared to conventional control sequences. Combined with optimal initialization and readout protocols, this allows us to break the limit for AC magnetic field sensing imposed by interactions, opening a promising avenue for the development of solid-state ensemble magnetometers with unprecedented sensitivity.

The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Is Interstellar Extinction Toward the Galactic Center Anomalous?
Creators: name: Udalski, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Photometry of the Galactic bulge, collected during the OGLE-II microlensing search, indicates high and non-uniform interstellar extinction toward the observed fields. We use the mean I-band magnitude and V-I color of red clump stars as a tracer of interstellar extinction toward four small regions of the Galactic bulge with highly variable reddening. Similar test is performed for the most reddened region observed in the LMC. We find that the slope of the location of red clump stars in the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) in the Galactic bulge is significantly smaller than the slope of the reddening line following the standard extinction law (R_V=3.1) for approximations of the extinction curve by both Cardelli, Clayton and Mathis (1989, CCM89) and Fitzpatrick (1999, F99). The differences are much larger for the CCM89 approximation which, on the other hand, indicates the same slopes for the control field in the LMC, contrary to the F99 approximation. We discuss possible systematic effects that could cause the observed discrepancy. Anomalous extinction toward the Galactic bulge seems to be the most natural explanation. Our data indicate that, generally, the ratio of the total to selective absorption, R_VI, is much smaller toward the Galactic bulge than the value corresponding to the standard extinction curve (R_V=3.1). However, R_VI varies from one line-of-sight to another. Our results explain why the red clump and RR Lyr stars in the Baade's window dereddened with standard value of R_VI are redder compared to those of the local population.

description: In order to integrate organic fertilisers into mainstream agriculture, it is necessary to be able to predict with reasonable accuracy the supply of nutrients from a given product. This will allow organic fertilisers to be applied to the soil at correct rates (on their own and in combination with inorganic fertilisers) to meet the crop nutrient requirements and avoid any excess supply that might harm the environment. The focus of the research within this thesis was on the supply of plant available nitrogen (PAN) from recycled organic (RO) wastes and its prediction. The research documented in this thesis addressed the following four hypotheses; • Hypothesis 1 – The NLBAR (i.e. Nitrogen Limited Biosolids Application Rate) formula (New South Wales biosolid guidelines) and its percentage organic N mineralisation assumptions provide an accurate prediction of the mineral N supply from biosolids in the first year of a crop. • Hypothesis 2 – RO waste composition affects the proportion of its organic N mineralised in the soil. • Hypothesis 3 – Certain composition characteristics of RO wastes can provide a reliable prediction of the mineral N supply from RO wastes under controlled conditions. • Hypothesis 4 – Near-infrared spectrometry can be used to accurately predict the mineral N supply and recalcitrant C pools from RO wastes applied to the soil, under controlled conditions.

description: We study the complete merger of two massive stars inside a common envelope and the subsequent evolution of the merger product, a rapidly rotating massive supergiant. Three qualitatively different types of mergers have been identified and investigated in detail, and the post-merger evolution has been followed to the immediate presupernova stage. The ``quiet merger'' case does not lead to significant changes in composition, and the star remains a red supergiant. In the case of a ``moderate merger'', the star may become a blue supergiant and end its evolution as a blue supergiant, depending on the core to total mass ratio (as may be appropriate for the progenitor of SN 1987A). In the case of the most effective ``explosive merger'', the merger product stays a red giant. In last two cases, the He abundance in the envelope is increased drastically, but significant s-processing is mainly expected in the ``explosive merger'' case.

description: We present X-ray and optical observations of the X-ray bright AGN 1ES 1927+654. The X-ray observations obtained with ROSAT and Chandra reveal persistent, rapid and large scale variations, as well as steep 0.1-2.4 keV (Gamma = 2.6 +/- 0.3) and 0.3-7.0 keV (Gamma = 2.7 +/- 0.2) spectra. The measured intrinsic neutral X-ray column density is approximately 7e20cm^-2. The X-ray timing properties indicate that the strong variations originate from a region, a few hundred light seconds from the central black hole, typical for type 1 AGN. High quality optical spectroscopy reveals a typical Seyfert 2 spectrum with some host galaxy contamination and no evidence of Fe II multiplets or broad hydrogen Balmer wings. The intrinsic optical extinction derived from the BLR and NLR are A_V >= 3.7 and A_V=1.7, respectively. The X-ray observations give an A_V value of less than 0.58, in contrast to the optical extinction values. We discuss several ideas to explain this apparent difference in classification including partial covering, an underluminous BLR or a high dust to gas ratio.

description: Travis CI handles automatically thousands of builds every day to, amongst other things, provide valuable feedback to thousands of open-source developers. In this paper, we investigate Travis CI to firstly understand who is using it, and when they start to use it. Secondly, we investigate how the developers use Travis CI and finally, how frequently the developers change the Travis CI configurations. We observed during our analysis that the main users of Travis CI are corporate users such as Microsoft. And the programming languages used in Travis CI by those users do not follow the same popularity trend than on GitHub, for example, Python is the most popular language on Travis CI, but it is only the third one on GitHub. We also observe that Travis CI is set up on average seven days after the creation of the repository and the jobs are still mainly used (60%) to run tests. And finally, we observe that 7.34% of the commits modify the Travis CI configuration. We share the biggest benchmark of Travis CI jobs (to our knowledge): it contains 35,793,144 jobs from 272,917 different GitHub projects.

 Discussion. This species, the only one of the genus known from the West Indies, is uncommonly collected but widespread, being known from Mexico through northern South America, Cuba, Jamaica, Dominica, and Florida in the United States. Two specimens have been found from the Dominican Republic, and these represent a new country and island record for the species.
This species is very distinctive from all other Hispaniolan prionines. It is recognized by the convex scutellum that is strongly coarsely granulatedenticulate, and by the pronotum progressively widening posteriorly, the margins of which terminate in a posterolateral spine or acute angle. The integument of the head, pronotum, basal antennomeres, forelegs, and elytra is covered in small granules. The elytra are glabrous and impunctate.

description: To generate the standard microlensing light curve one assumes that the relative motion of the source, the lens, and the observer is linear. In reality, the relative motion is likely to be more complicated due to accelerations of the observer, the lens and the source. The simplest approximation beyond the linear-motion assumption is to add a constant acceleration. Microlensing light curves due to accelerations can be symmetric or asymmetric depending on the angle between the acceleration and the velocity. We show that it is possible that some of the previously reported shorter marginal parallax events can be reproduced with constant-acceleration models, while the longer, multi-year parallax events are ill-fitted by such models. We find that there is a generic degeneracy inherent in constant-acceleration microlensing models. We also find that there is an equivalent degeneracy in parallax models, which manifests itself in short-duration events. The importance of this new parallax degeneracy is illustrated with an example, using one of these marginal parallax events. Our new analysis suggests that another of these previously suspected parallax candidate events may be exhibiting some weak binary-source signatures. If this turns out to be true, spectroscopic observations of the source could determine some parameters in the model and may also constrain or even determine the lens mass. We also point out that symmetric light curves with constant accelerations can mimic blended light curves, producing misleading Einstein-radius crossing time-scales when fitted by the standard `blended' microlensing model; this may have some effect on the estimation of optical depth.

description: An explainable machine learning method for point cloud classification, called the PointHop method, is proposed in this work. The PointHop method consists of two stages: 1) local-to-global attribute building through iterative one-hop information exchange, and 2) classification and ensembles. In the attribute building stage, we address the problem of unordered point cloud data using a space partitioning procedure and developing a robust descriptor that characterizes the relationship between a point and its one-hop neighbor in a PointHop unit. When we put multiple PointHop units in cascade, the attributes of a point will grow by taking its relationship with one-hop neighbor points into account iteratively. Furthermore, to control the rapid dimension growth of the attribute vector associated with a point, we use the Saab transform to reduce the attribute dimension in each PointHop unit. In the classification and ensemble stage, we feed the feature vector obtained from multiple PointHop units to a classifier. We explore ensemble methods to improve the classification performance furthermore. It is shown by experimental results that the PointHop method offers classification performance that is comparable with state-of-the-art methods while demanding much lower training complexity.

description: We report the first detection of radio polarization of a GRB afterglow with the first intensive combined use of telescopes in the millimeter and submillimeter ranges for GRB171205A. The linear polarization degree in the millimeter band at the sub-percent level ($0.27 \pm 0.04\%$) is lower than those observed in late-time optical afterglows (weighted average of $\sim 1\%$). The Faraday depolarization by non-accelerated, cool electrons in the shocked region is one of possible mechanisms for the low value. In this scenario, larger total energy by a factor of $\sim 10$ than ordinary estimate without considering non-accelerated electrons is required. The polarization position angle varies by at least 20 degrees across the millimeter band, which is not inconsistent with this scenario. This result indicates that polarimetry in the millimeter and submillimeter ranges is a unique tool for investigating GRB energetics, and coincident observations with multiple frequencies or bands would provide more accurate measurements of the non-accelerated electron fraction.
