description: The establishment of a scalable scheme for quantum computing with addressable and long-lived qubits would be a scientific watershed, harnessing the laws of quantum physics to solve classically intractable problems. The design of many proposed quantum computational platforms is driven by competing needs: isolating the quantum system from the environment to prevent decoherence, and easily and accurately controlling the system with external fields. For example, neutral-atom optical-lattice architectures provide environmental isolation through the use of states that are robust against fluctuating external fields, yet external fields are essential for qubit addressing. Here we demonstrate the selection of individual qubits with external fields, despite the fact that the qubits are in field-insensitive superpositions. We use a spatially inhomogeneous external field to map selected qubits to a different field-insensitive superposition ("optical MRI"), minimally perturbing unselected qubits, despite the fact that the addressing field is not spatially localized. We show robust single-qubit rotations on neutral-atom qubits located at selected lattice sites. This precise coherent control is an important step forward for lattice-based neutral-atom quantum computation, and is quite generally applicable to state transfer and qubit isolation in other architectures using field-insensitive qubits.

description: Representing crystal structures of materials to facilitate determining them via neural networks is crucial for enabling machine-learning applications involving crystal structure estimation. Among these applications, the inverse design of materials can contribute to explore materials with desired properties without relying on luck or serendipity. We propose neural structure fields (NeSF) as an accurate and practical approach for representing crystal structures using neural networks. Inspired by the concepts of vector fields in physics and implicit neural representations in computer vision, the proposed NeSF considers a crystal structure as a continuous field rather than as a discrete set of atoms. Unlike existing grid-based discretized spatial representations, the NeSF overcomes the tradeoff between spatial resolution and computational complexity and can represent any crystal structure. We propose an autoencoder of crystal structures that can recover various crystal structures, such as those of perovskite structure materials and cuprate superconductors. Extensive quantitative results demonstrate the superior performance of the NeSF compared with the existing grid-based approach.

description: Disks of low-mass bodies scattered by giant planets to large semi-major axis and constant periapsis orbits are vulnerable to a buckling instability. This instability exponentially grows orbital inclinations, raises periapsis distances, and coherently tilts orbits resulting in clustering of arguments of periapsis. The dynamically hot system is then susceptible to the formation of a lopsided mode. Here we show that the timescale of the buckling instability decreases as the radial surface density of the population becomes more centrally dense, i.e., steeper scattered disks buckle faster. Accounting for differential apsidal precession driven by giant planets, we find that $\sim\!10\,M_\oplus$ is sufficient for a primordial scattered disk in the trans-Neptunian region to have been unstable if $dN \propto a^{-2.5} da$.

description: We study the response of a quantum magnet with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) to a Zeeman field by constructing effective actions and performing Renormalization Group (RG) analysis. There are several novel classes of quantum phase transitions at a low $ h_{c1} $ and an upper critical field $ h_{c2} $ driven by magnon condensations at commensurate (C-) or in-commensurate (IC-) momenta $ 0 < k_0 < π$. The intermediate IC- Skyrmion crystal (IC-SkX) phase is controlled by a line of fixed points in the RG flows labeled by $ k_0 $. We derive the relations between the quantum spin and the order parameters of the effective actions which determine the spin-orbital structures of the IC-SkX phase. We also analyze the operator contents near $ h_{c1} $ and $ h_{c2} $ which determine the exotic excitation spectra inside the IC-SkX. The intrinsic differences between the magnon condensations at the C- and IC- momenta are explored. The two critical fields $ h_{c1} < h_{c2} $ and the intermediate IC-SkX phase could be a generic feature to any quantum magnets with SOC in a Zeeman field. Experimental implications to some materials or cold atom systems with SOC in a Zeeman field are presented.

description: At optical frequencies the radiation produced by a source, such as a laser, a black body or a single photon source, is frequently characterized by analyzing the temporal correlations of emitted photons using single photon counters. At microwave frequencies, however, there are no efficient single photon counters yet. Instead, well developed linear amplifiers allow for efficient measurement of the amplitude of an electromagnetic field. Here, we demonstrate how the properties of a microwave single photon source can be characterized using correlation measurements of the emitted radiation with such detectors. We also demonstrate the cooling of a thermal field stored in a cavity, an effect which we detect using a cross-correlation measurement of the radiation emitted at the two ends of the cavity.

description: The purpose of FMCSA’s SmartPark initiative is to determine the feasibility of a technology for providing truck parking space availability in real time to truckers on the road. SmartPark consists of two phases. Phase I was a field operational test (FOT) to determine the accuracy and reliability of a technology for counting truck parking space availability. Phase II focuses on disseminating truck parking availability information and determining whether the technology can be deployed to divert trucks from a filled to an unfilled parking area. This document is the final report for Phase I. In Phase I, three combinations of different technologies were subjected to field testing to ascertain their feasibility for determining truck parking space availability in real time: side (SID) scanners, overhead (OH) scanners, and light curtains (CURs), each combined with Doppler radar.

The most optimal configuration of technologies is a SID scanner combined with Doppler radar at both the ingress and egress points of the selected truck parking area. Other findings and recommendations pertain to the trade-off between accuracy and the frequency of ground-truth correction, qualitative reporting of truck parking availability to address uncertainty when the parking area is nearly full, required time for stabilizing the system, use of a vehicle classification scheme that reduces the number of vehicle classes, increased bandwidth in data transmission, and enhanced surveillance and monitoring with closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras.

Broadband X-ray spectral analysis of the ULX NGC 1313\,X-1 using JeTCAF: Origin of the ULX bubble

description: NGC 1313\,X-1 is a mysterious Ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) source whose X-ray powering mechanism and a bubble-like structure surrounding the source are topics of intense study. Here, we perform the X-ray spectroscopic study of the source using a joint {\it XMM-Newton} and {\it NuSTAR} observations taken during 2012 $-$ 2017. The combined spectra cover the energy band 0.3 $-$ 20 keV. We use the accretion-ejection-based JeTCAF model for spectral analysis. The model fitted disc mass accretion rate varies from 4.6 to 9.6 $\dot M_{\rm Edd}$ and the halo mass accretion rate varies from 4.0 to 6.1 $\dot M_{\rm Edd}$ with a dynamic Comptonizing corona of average size of $\sim 15$ $r_g$. The data fitting is carried out for different black hole (BH) mass values. The goodness of the fit and uncertainties in model parameters improve while using higher BH mass with most probable mass of the compact object to be $133\pm33$ M$_\odot$. We have estimated the mass outflow rate, its velocity and power, and the age of the inflated bubble surrounding the source. Our estimated bubble morphology is in accord with the observed optical bubble and winds found through high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy, suggesting that the bubble expanded by the outflows originating from the central source. Finally, we conclude that the super-Eddington accretion onto a nearly intermediate mass BH may power a ULX when the accretion efficiency is low, though their efficiency increases when jet/outflow is taken into account, in agreement with numerical simulations in the literature.

Study of the bipolar jet of the YSO Th 28 with VLT/SINFONI: Jet morphology and H$_2$ emission

description: $Context.$ The YSO Th 28 possesses a highly collimated jet, which clearly exhibits an asymmetric brightness of its jet lobes at optical and NIR wavelengths. There may be asymmetry in the jet plasma parameters in opposite jet lobes (e.g. electron density, temperature, and outflow velocity). $Aims.$ We examined the Th 28 jet in a 3"x3" where the jet material is collimated and accelerated. Our goal is to map the morphology and determine its physical parameters to determine the physical origin of such asymmetries. $Methods.$ We present $JHK$-spectra of Th 28 obtained with the SINFONI on the (VLT, ESO) in June-July 2015. $Results.$ The [Fe II] emission originates in collimated jet lobes. Two new axial knots are detected at 1" in the blue lobe and 1".2 in the red lobe. The H$_2$ radiation is emitted from an extended region with a radius of $\gtrsim270$ au, which is perpendicular to the jet. The PV diagrams of the bright H$_2$ lines reveal faint H$_2$ emission along both jet lobes as well. The compact and faint H I emission (Pa$β$ and Br$γ$) comes from two regions, namely from a spherical region around the star and from the jet lobes. The size of the jet launching region is derived as 0".015 ($\sim$3 au at 185 pc), and the initial opening angle of the Th 28 jet is $\sim28^0$, which makes this jet substantially less collimated than most jets from other CTTs. $Conclusions.$ The emission in [Fe II], H$_2$, and H I lines suggests a morphology in which the ionised gas in the disc appears to be disrupted by the jet. The resolved disc-like H$_2$ emission most likely arises in the disc atmosphere from shocks caused by a radial uncollimated wind. The asymmetry of the [Fe II] photocentre shifts with respect to the jet source arises in the immediate vicinity of the driving source of Th28 and suggests that the observed brightness asymmetry is intrinsic as well.

Seasonal changes in the survival of the black-capped chickadee

description: A population of Black-capped Chickadees (Parus atricapillus) living in a favourable environment was colour-banded, and its survival was followed, to find out what prevents continual increase in its numbers. A weekly census of the population was made throughout the two years of the study. All nests were found and the young were banded before they flew. Every two weeks throughout both winters checks were also made on an unhanded population in a control area one and a quarter miles from the main population. Nesting success was high in both years, with 5.0 young per pair being fledged in 1964 and 4.5 young per pair in 1965. Juvenile survival until family break-up was almost 100% in both years; juvenile survival until September seemed to be high. The survival rate of the adults was uneven: there were two periods when it was lower than it was during the rest of the year. The less sharply defined period occurred during the post-breeding moult of the adults. The more sharply defined period of two weeks or less was exactly correlated in both years with a change in behaviour from flocking to territorial behaviour. With the exception of one unmated female in each year, every bird which survived this critical period remained to breed or attempt to breed; hence this change in behaviour in the spring evidently removed surplus birds from the area, and thus prevented continual increase in the population. This behaviour may be the common factor that limits the breeding populations of other species with similar ecology.

title: Fertility and Family Planning Among Navajo Indian Recipients of Public Welfare Assistance in Southeastern Utah
Creators: name: Shaffer, Gary Morris
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: A fertility and family planning survey was conducted among the recipients of pub lie welfare ass i stance in San Juan County, Utah. Two hundred twenty-five recipient families out of some 536 families on the list were interviewed during May and June of 1968 by nine graduate and undergraduate students in Sociology and Social Work with the help of Social Welfare workers and Navajo interpreters.
The study was primarily concerned with the following objectives: (1) to study the level and age patterns of fertility of a group of selected Navajo Indians, (2) to investigate the factors which might affect the fertility, desired fami.ly size, and ideal family size, (3) to study the knowledge of and the extent of the use of birth control methods among the selected group, (4) to compare the findings of previous fertility studies dealing with other groups to those found among the selected group of Navajos.
The data indicate that the fertility of Navajo women was very high, reaching the completed fertility rate of 9. 2 children for women aged 45-49 years as compared with that of 2.4 children and 2 .8 children for white and non-white women in the United States in 1960 respectively. The number of children ever born among the total ever married women was 6 .6 children . The number of children the Navajo women considered ideal for a couple in general and for the Navajo family in particular was 7 . 1 children and 7.7 children respectively.
A strong inverse relationship was observed among Navajo women between fertility level and several social variables. The fertility of women who knew English was as much as 3.9 percent below that of women who did not . Fertility was also lower among those who had more frequent contact with white people. Although the proportion of women who knew any methods of birth control was very low (only 50 percent of the total women), the fertility of these women was considerably lower than that of those who did not know anything about birth control.

description: Studies were conducted to determine the effects of iron and zinc chelates on these deficiencies. Soil treatments, and foliar treatments with and without urea were used. It was found that in soil treatments at least one pound chelate per tree must be used to significantly increase the iron content of the leaves. The soil treatments did not result in as high a concentration in the leaves early in the season, but they had a residual effect that lasted throughout the entire growing season. Foliar treatments with iron did not effect the foliage that developed after the final application was made . In the conditions of this experiment the application of iron and/or zinc chelates resulted in increased peach size, soluble solids and sugar content.

description: The fabrication of flexible single-crystalline plasmonic or photonic components in a scalable way is fundamentally important to flexible electronic and photonic devices with high speed, high energy efficiency, and high reliability. However, it remains to be a big challenge so far. Here, we have successfully synthesized flexible single-crystalline optical hyperbolic metamaterials by directly depositing refractory nitride superlattices on flexible fluoro phlogopite-mica substrates with magnetron sputtering. Interestingly, these flexible hyperbolic metamaterials show dual-band hyperbolic dispersion of dielectric constants with low dielectric losses and high figure-of-merit in the visible to near-infrared ranges. More importantly, the optical properties of these nitride-based flexible hyperbolic metamaterials show remarkable stability under either heating or bending. Therefore, the strategy developed in this work offers an easy and scalable route to fabricate flexible, high-performance, and refractory plasmonic or photonic components, which can significantly expand the applications of current electronic and photonic devices.

Audiograms were obtained on 30 Navajo and 27 Caucasian subjects as they responded to pure tones presented via a conventional audiometric technique and also via an automatic recording technique.
One audiogram via conventional audiometry and one audiogram via automatic audiometry were obtained on the same day. Replications of the same tests were administered on the following day.
Statistical analysis of the data was employed to determine the reliability of repeated test measurements. Mean threshold differences, standard deviations, Student's "t" test and analysis of variance were all utilized in making these determinations.
The test results revealed the reliability to be beyond acceptable limits, according to previous research, under all test conditions except condition one. Statistical significance was demonstrated at all four conditions. Significant differences between performance of the two populations involved were not shown. However, differences due to changing conditions were demonstrated.

description: First principles calculations through density functional theory (DFT)+$U$ method were performed to assess the effect of Li interstitial doping on the optoelectronic properties of NiO and of cubic, hexagonal, and monoclinic WO$_3$. The implications on the structural and electronic properties and their relationship with the optical properties, such as dielectric response and absorption coefficient in the context of electrochromism, are discussed. Li interstitial doping (i.e., electron doping) turns these materials metallic-like even for low Li concentration ($x<0.083$). In metallic-like materials, optical properties are largely influenced by intraband transitions. Compared to NiO, Li-doped NiO shows larger absorption in the visible region while, with respect to WO$_3$, Li-doped WO$_3$ exhibits an increment in absorption in the whole spectrum, particularly, in the infrared region. These results help to understand the changes in optical properties observed in electrochromic devices based on these materials.

description: Slums are a problem facing the whole world as a result of poor housing policies and rapid urbanization. Previous Egyptian housing policies created the problem of slums from scratch. The Egyptian government tries to eliminate slums with centralized policies, but it does not succeed. Egypt recently recognized the need to participate in slum upgrading through community partnership. Previous upgrading policies did not perform as required due to their distance from a participatory and fair representation of stakeholders. The independent participatory intermediary model achieves great results if it has decentralized decision-making. The problem is the relation between the governing parties in Egypt. The gap between them causes resolutions haphazard because of non-participation in decision-making. As a result, the objectives are not achieved as hoped in upgrading slums. This paper aims to draw a framework between governance parties to achieve the objectives through literature reviews and the availability of applying it in Egypt.

description: The DBI-Galileon model is a scalar-tensor theory of gravity which is defined as the most general theory of the dynamics of a 4D brane embedded in a 5D bulk. It is of particular interest as it introduces only a few free parameters, all with a clear physical meaning, such as the brane tension which is related to the cosmological constant. From the tight constraints on the gravitational waves speed, we are naturally led to consider the non-relativistic limit of the model where the kinetic energy of the brane is small compared to its tension, that we study in the context of late-time cosmology. We show that the DBI-Galileon in the non-relativistic limit is an expansion around General Relativity (GR) which can be expressed as a shift-symmetric Horndeski theory. We develop the description of this theory at the background and perturbation level. However, by studying the scalar and tensor perturbations around a flat FLRW background, we find that they contain a ghost degree of freedom leading to a fatal instability of the vacuum for every combination of the free parameters. In order to avoid it in the more general cases of shift-symmetric Horndeski theories, we emphasize which of the Horndeski terms are in competition to produce this instability.

description: Mergers between galaxy clusters are an important stage in the formation of the large-scale structure of the Universe. Some of the mergers show a spectacular bow shock that formed as a result of recent passage of a smaller cluster through a bigger one, the classic example of this being the so-called bullet cluster. In this paper, I describe ten examples of interacting clusters identified among 200 of the most massive objects, with total masses above $1.4 \times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$, from the IllustrisTNG300 simulation by searching for prominent bow shocks in their temperature maps. Despite different mass ratios of the two merging clusters, the events are remarkably similar in many respects. In all cases, the companion cluster passed close to the main one only once, between 0.9 and 0.3 Gyr ago, with the pericenter distance of 100-530 kpc and a velocity of up to 3400 km s$^{-1}$. The subcluster, typically an order of magnitude smaller in mass than the main cluster before the interaction, loses most of its dark matter and gas in the process. The displacement between the collisionless part of the remnant and the bow shock is such that the remnant typically lags behind the shock or coincides with it, with a single exception of the merger occurring with the largest velocity. Usually about 1% of the gas cells in the merging clusters are shocked, and the median Mach numbers of these gas cells are around two. Due to the relatively small size of the simulation box, no close analog of the bullet cluster was found, but I identified one case that is similar in terms of mass, velocity, and displacement. The presented cases bear more resemblance to less extreme observed interacting clusters such as A520 and Coma.

description: We calculate the dispersive force between a ground state atom and a non planar surface. We present explicit results for a corrugated surface, derived from the scattering approach at first order in the corrugation amplitude. A variety of analytical results are derived in different limiting cases, including the van der Waals and Casimir-Polder regimes. We compute numerically the exact first-order dispersive potential for arbitrary separation distances and corrugation wavelengths, for a Rubidium atom on top of a silicon or gold corrugated surface. We discuss in detail the inadequacy of the proximity force approximation, and present a simple but adequate approximation for computing the potential.

description: Background: Despite concern regarding harms of energy drink (ED) consumption, no research has been conducted to determine awareness and compliance with ED intake guidelines displayed on product packaging in Australia (a novel approach internationally). Methods: A convenience sample of 1922 people completed an online survey. Participants reported their knowledge of maximum recommended daily ED intake according to Australian guidelines. Results: Guideline awareness was reported by 38, 23 and 19 % of past year consumers, lifetime, and non-consumers, respectively. Amongst past year consumers, 'accurate estimator's reported greater ED intake and were more likely to exceed intake guidelines and consume alcohol mixed with ED (AmED). After controlling for demographics and frequency of use, guideline awareness predicted increased likelihood of exceeding guidelines in ED sessions, but was not associated with exceeding ED guidelines in AmED sessions. Conclusions: Australia is considered to have the most stringent regulatory approach to EDs internationally. However, advisory statements are not associated with greater awareness and compliance with intake guidelines. Failure to comply with standards for efficacious product labelling, and absence of broader education regarding guidelines, needs to be addressed.

description: The macro social influence is recognized as a non-negligible ingredient in innovation propagation: more adopters in the network lead to a higher adoption tendency for the rest individuals. A recent study to incorporate such a crucial mechanism shows that sufficient intensity of macro-level social influence can cause a change from a continuous to discontinuous transition, further indicating the existence of a tricritical point. Although network localization strength determines the tricritical point, it remains unclear what network quantities govern the performance of localization in regulating innovation diffusion. To address this issue, we herein consider the model incorporating both the micro- and macro-levels social influence. We present a dynamic message-passing method to analytically treat both the outbreak threshold and recovered population, and validate the predictions through agent-based simulations. Extensive analysis on the classical synthetic networks shows that sparsely available connections, and relatively heterogeneous degree distribution, either assortative or extremely disassortative configurations are favorable for continuous transition. In such cases, the employed network can yield a strong localization effect so that the innovation is trapped in the configurations composed of the hubs with high non-backtracking centrality. We further explore the dependence of both tricritical point and localization strength on three structural quantities: network density, heterogeneity, and assortativity, which gives a clear physical picture of the joint effects of the three structure quantities on the localization strength. Finally, we conclude that the core-periphery structure, being sensitive to the change of the three structure quantities, essentially determines localization strength, and further regulates the phase transition.

description: We study the fragmentation functions of both pions and kaons in the Field-Feynman recursive model with the extended SU(2) flavor symmetry relations of fragmentation functions and fitting parameters. Parametrizations are determined from a leading-order (LO) analysis of HERMES experimental multiplicity data of meson production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, and uncertainties are estimated with the Hessian method. We compare our results with the experimental data and the analysis results of other parametrizations. The SU(2) flavor symmetry breaking effect of meson fragmentation functions of $ud$ quarks is also discussed, and we show that the fragmentation functions of kaons have a bigger SU(2) flavor symmetry breaking effect of $ud$ quarks than these of pions.

description: We perform a systematic analysis of globally consistent D-brane quivers which realize the MSSM, and analyze them with respect to their Yukawa couplings. Often, desired couplings are perturbatively forbidden due to the presence of global U(1) symmetries. We investigate the conditions under which D-brane instantons will induce these missing couplings without generating other phenomenological drawbacks, such as R-parity violating couplings or a mu-term which is too large. Furthermore, we systematically analyze which quivers allow for a mechanism that can account for the small neutrino masses and other experimentally observed hierarchies. We show that only a small fraction of the globally consistent D-brane quivers exhibits phenomenology compatible with experimental observations.

description: The enormous development of the Internet, both in the geographical scale and in the area of using its possibilities in
everyday life, determines the creation and collection of huge amounts of data. Due to the scale, it is not possible to
analyse them using traditional methods, therefore it makes a necessary to use modern methods and techniques. Such
methods are provided, among others, by the area of recommendations.
The aim of this study is to present a new algorithm in the area of recommendation systems, the algorithm based on
data from various sets of information, both static (categories of objects, features of objects) and dynamic (user
behaviour).
