description: We propose a framework to understand the world by an ensemble of theorems rather than by a set of axioms. We prove meta-logically that the theorems of the ensemble must have *feasible* proofs and must recover *universality*. The ensemble is axiomatized when it is constructed as a partition function, in which case its axioms are, up to an error rate, the bits of Omega (the halting probability of a prefix-free universal Turing machine).
As a consequence of the axiomatization, the ensemble adopts the mathematical structure of an ensemble of statistical physics. It is from this context that the laws of physics are derived. It is shown that the Lagrange multipliers of the partition function are the fundamental Planck units and that the background, a thermal spacetime, emerges as a consequence of the limits applicable to the conjugate pairs. The background obeys the relations of special and general relativity, dark energy, the arrow of time, the Schrödinger equation, the Dirac equation and it embeds the holographic principle. In this context, the laws of physics connect to the limits of feasible mathematics.
The framework is so fundamental that informational-equivalents to length, time and mass (assumed as axioms in most physical theories) are here formally derivable. It can prove that no alternative framework can contain less bits of axioms than it contains (hence it is necessarily the simplest theory). Furthermore, it can prove that, for all worlds amenable to this framework, the laws of physics will be the same (hence there can be no alternatives).
Thus, the framework is a candidate for a final theory.

description: We consider collaborative inference at the wireless edge, where each client's model is trained independently on its local dataset. Clients are queried in parallel to make an accurate decision collaboratively. In addition to maximizing the inference accuracy, we also want to ensure the privacy of local models. To this end, we leverage the superposition property of the multiple access channel to implement bandwidth-efficient multi-user inference methods. We propose different methods for ensemble and multi-view classification that exploit over-the-air computation (OAC). We show that these schemes perform better than their orthogonal counterparts with statistically significant differences while using fewer resources and providing privacy guarantees. We also provide experimental results verifying the benefits of the proposed OAC approach to multi-user inference, and perform an ablation study to demonstrate the effectiveness of our design choices. We share the source code of the framework publicly on Github to facilitate further research and reproducibility.

description: Close to a solid surface, the properties of a fluid deviate significantly from their bulk values. In this context, we study the surface adsorption profiles of a symmetric binary liquid confined to a slit pore by means of molecular dynamics simulations; the latter naturally entails that mass and concentration are locally conserved. Near a bulk consolute point, where the liquid exhibits a demixing transition with the local concentration as the order parameter, we determine the order parameter profiles and characterise the relevant critical scaling behaviour, in the regime of strong surface attraction, for a range of pore widths and temperatures. The obtained order parameter profiles decay monotonically near the surfaces, also in the presence of a pronounced layering in the number density. Overall, our results agree qualitatively with recent theoretical predictions from a mesoscopic field-theoretical approach for the canonical ensemble.
Hyperons during proto-neutron star deleptonization and the emission of dark flavoured particles

description: Complementary to high-energy experimental efforts, indirect astrophysical searches of particles beyond the standard model have long been pursued. The present article follows the latter approach and considers, for the first time, the self-consistent treatment of the energy losses from dark flavoured particles produced in the decay of hyperons during a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). To this end, general relativistic supernova simulations in spherical symmetry are performed, featuring six-species Boltzmann neutrino transport, and covering the long-term evolution of the nascent remnant proto-neutron star (PNS) deleptonization for several tens of seconds. A well-calibrated hyperon equation of state (EOS) is therefore implemented into the supernova simulations and tested against the corresponding nucleonic model. It is found that supernova observables, such as the neutrino signal, are robustly insensitive to the appearance of hyperons for the simulation times considered in the present study. The presence of hyperons enables an additional channel for the appearance of dark sector particles, which is considered at the level of the $Λ$ hyperon decay. Assuming massless particles that escape the PNS after being produced, these channels expedite the deleptonizing PNS and the cooling behaviour. This, in turn, shortens the neutrino emission timescale. The present study confirms the previously estimated upper limits on the corresponding branching ratios for low and high mass PNS, by effectively reducing the neutrino emission timescale by a factor of two. This is consistent with the classical argument deduced from the neutrino detection associated with SN1987A.

description: Embodied AI has made significant progress acting in unexplored environments. However, tasks such as object search have largely focused on efficient policy learning. In this work, we identify several gaps in current search methods: They largely focus on dated perception models, neglect temporal aggregation, and transfer from ground truth directly to noisy perception at test time, without accounting for the resulting overconfidence in the perceived state. We address the identified problems through calibrated perception probabilities and uncertainty across aggregation and found decisions, thereby adapting the models for sequential tasks. The resulting methods can be directly integrated with pretrained models across a wide family of existing search approaches at no additional training cost. We perform extensive evaluations of aggregation methods across both different semantic perception models and policies, confirming the importance of calibrated uncertainties in both the aggregation and found decisions. We make the code and trained models available at https://semantic-search.cs.uni-freiburg.de.

description: Embedding techniques allow the efficient description of correlations within localized fragments of large molecular systems, while accounting for their environment at a lower level of theory. We introduce FragPT2: a novel embedding framework that addresses multiple interacting active fragments. Fragments are assigned separate active spaces, constructed by localizing canonical molecular orbitals. Each fragment is then solved with a multi-reference method, self-consistently embedded in the mean field from other fragments. Finally, inter-fragment correlations are reintroduced through multi-reference perturbation theory. Our framework provides an exhaustive classification of inter-fragment interaction terms, offering a tool to analyze the relative importance of various processes such as dispersion, charge transfer, and spin exchange. We benchmark FragPT2 on challenging test systems, including \ce{N_2} dimers, multiple aromatic dimers, and butadiene. We demonstrate that our method can be succesful even for fragments defined by cutting through a covalent bond.

Pezothrips aureus Girault, 1929: 2
Limothrips formosus Girault, 1929: 2
This species, together with the indicated synonyms, was placed by Mound & Houston (1987) in the genus Bolacothrips, but this is clearly incorrect as the tergites lack any ctenidia, and ocellar setae pair I are present. The species was described from a single female collected at Wynnum in northern Brisbane, and that specimen was described as having all the antennal segments missing beyond segment II. On tergite IX, the median marginal setae are shorter than the lateral pair, and the median dorsal setae are slightly stouter with their apices just extending to the posterior margin of the tergite. The single female from which formosus was described was collected at Taringa, Brisbane, and cannot at present be distinguished from the australiensis holotype. The synonymic species, P. aureus, was described from a single female collected on Mt Coot-tha, Brisbane, but this specimen lacks wings and all of the major setae, and the head is crushed and distorted. A. australiensis is possibly a complex of species, in which females differ very little in structure from each other. The processes on the posterior margin of tergite IX of males vary slightly in structure between samples, and females from near Broome, Western Australia, are variable in the length and stoutness of the tergite IX mid-dorsal setae. Specimens that can confidently be considered A. australiensis have been studied only from eastern Australia, including northern New South Wales, the Brisbane area of Queensland, and central Northern Territory near Alice Springs.

description: Distributing quantum correlations to each node of a network is a key aspect of quantum networking. Here, we present a robust, physically motivated protocol by which global quantum correlations, as characterized by the discord, can be distributed to quantum memories using a mixed state of information carriers which possesses only classical correlations. In addition, such distribution is done using only bilocal unitary operations and projective measurements, with the degree of discord being measurement-outcome independent. We explore the scaling of the performance of the proposed protocol with the size of the network and illustrate the structure of quantum correlations that are shared by the nodes, showing its dependence on the local operations performed. Finally, we find the counterintuitive result that even more discord can be generated when the resource state undergoes correlated dephasing noise, allowing high fidelities with mixtures of the Bell basis such as Werner states.

description: In multi-body systems, flexible components as well as couplings between them can be subject to large displacements and rotations. This contribution presents a general objective and geometrically exact node-to-node coupling element pursuing two innovations. Firstly, the coupling element represents a consistent contribution to an existing nonlinear mechanical framework. The coupling element intends to preserve its attributes of objectivity, path-independence, and adherence to the energy-conserving or energy-dissipative time integration method. Secondly, besides elasticity also inertia and damping properties are considered. For this purpose, a director-based formulation is employed within a total Lagrangian description. The avoidance of an angle-based representation, along with the additive update of state variables, results not only in path-independence but also in the avoidance of accumulating errors during extended simulations. An objective deformation measure is chosen based on the Green-Lagrange strain tensor. The inertia forces are considered by an arbitrarily shaped continuum located at the centre of the coupled nodes. Damping is considered by two different objective first order dissipation functions, which further ensure energy conservation or dissipation. We successfully demonstrate the coupling element within the mechanical framework on exemplary applications. Firstly, the geometrically exact behaviour is shown compared to a linear deformation measure. Secondly, we numerically indicate the path-independence of the formulation. The dynamic behaviour is demonstrated in a transient analysis of a damped structure. Finally, the modal analysis of a wind turbine shows the application of the coupling element to model the soil-structure interaction.

Project SAGE Phase I Report. Solar Assisted Gas Energy Water Heating Feasibility for Application in New Apartments
Creators: name: Davis, Edgar S.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1973

description: Although solar water heating for Southern California apartments was chosen because of its significance to energy conservation. It is attractive for many other reasons. The most significant of these is that of all the applications for solar energy, multiple-unit water heating appears to have the best chance of becoming economically competitive. (See Ref. 2)

In this study. three objectives were accomplished:

1. Definition of a baseline system, specifying plumbing configuration, materials, components, and collector design
concept.

2. Estimation of system cost and performance.

3. Identification of alternate approaches to the system and component design. enabling solar water heating to become commercially viable.

After briefly examining a wide variety of system configurations for a gas-supplemented solar water heater, we chose one system for a preliminary design study. This "baseline system" could be built completely with existing technology. Technical performance of the baseline system was evaluated by a computer simulation model, using hourly weather data for the year 1961 obtained from the weather station in Burbank, California.

description: A significant limitation of wide-bandgap materials is their low hole mobility related to localized holes with heavy effective masses ($m_h^*$). We identify in low-symmetric wide-bandgap compounds an anion-anion antibonding coupling (AAAC) effect as the intrinsic factor behind hole localization, which explains the extremely heavy $m_h^*$ and self-trapped hole (STH) formation observed in gallium oxide ($β$-$Ga_{2}O_{3}$). We propose a design principle for achieving light holes by manipulating AAAC, demonstrating that specific strain conditions can reduce $m_h^*$ in $β$-$Ga_{2}O_{3}$ from 4.77 $m_0$ to 0.38 $m_0$, making it comparable to the electron mass (0.28 $m_0$), while also slightly suppresses the formation of self-trapped holes, evidenced by the reduction in the formation energy of hole polarons from -0.57 eV to -0.45 eV under tensile strain. The light holes show significant anisotropy, potentially enabling two-dimensional transport in bulk material. This study provides a fundamental understanding of hole mass enhancement and STH formation in novel wide-bandgap materials and suggest new pathways for engineering hole mobilities.

description: Here we analyze the electron transport properties of a device formed of two crossed graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges (ZGNRs) in a spin state with total magnetization different from zero. While the ground state of ZGNRs has been shown to display antiferromagnetic ordering between the electrons at the edges, for wide ZGNRs--where the localized spin states at the edges are decoupled and the exchange interaction is close to zero--, in presence of relatively small magnetic fields, the ferromagnetic (FM) spin configuration can in fact become the state of lowest energy due to the Zeeman effect. In these terms, by comparing the total energy of a periodic ZGNR as a function of the magnetization per unit cell we obtain the FM-like solution of lowest energy for the perfect ribbon, the corresponding FM-like configuration of lowest energy for the four-terminal device formed of crossed ZGNRs, and the critical magnetic field needed to excite the system to this spin configuration. By performing transport calculations, we analyze the role of the distance between layers and the crossing angle of this device in the electrical conductance, at small gate voltages. The problem is approached employing the mean-field Hubbard Hamiltonian in combination with non-equilibrium Green's functions. We find that ZGNR devices subject to transverse magnetic fields may acquire a high-spin configuration that ensures a metallic response and tunable beam splitting properties, making this setting promising for studying electron quantum optics with single-electron excitations.
Lead as a tracer for automotive particulates: projecting the sulfate air quality impact of oxidation catalyst-equipped cars in Los Angeles
Creators: name: Cass, Glen R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1975

description: An analysis of the fate of lead in the Los Angeles Basin is used to evaluate an emissions to air quality model for automotive exhaust particulates. The dispersion model is then applied to projecting the annual average sulfate air quality impact of direct sulfuric acid mist emissions from oxidation catalyst-equipped cars of the 1975 model type. Estimates are given of the incremental sulfate contributions from three model years of oxidation catalyst-equipped cars burning a relatively low sulfur gasoline, and from roughly ten model years of 1975-type autos burning gasoline of sulfur content equal to that of the entire 1974 Southern California gasoline pool. In the latter case, sulfate concentrations in portions of downtown Los Angeles in 1985 could be elevated by roughly two thirds above present average sulfate values.

description: Single-shot quantum error correction has the potential to speed up quantum computations by removing the need for multiple rounds of syndrome extraction in order to be fault-tolerant. Using Quantinuum's H2 trapped-ion quantum computer, we implement the [[33,1,4]] 4D surface code and perform the first experimental demonstration of single-shot quantum error correction with bare ancilla qubits. We conduct memory experiments comparing the 2D and 4D surface codes and find that despite differences in qubit use and syndrome extraction circuit depth, the 4D surface code matches or outperforms the 2D surface code in both the fault-tolerant and single-shot regimes.
