description: This paper examines the proximity of authors to those they cite using degrees of separation in a co-author network, essentially using collaboration networks to expand on the notion of self-citations. While the proportion of direct self-citations (including co-authors of both citing and cited papers) is relatively constant in time and across specialties in the natural sciences (10% of citations) and the social sciences (20%), the same cannot be said for citations to authors who are members of the co-author network. Differences between fields and trends over time lie not only in the degree of co-authorship which defines the large-scale topology of the collaboration network, but also in the referencing practices within a given discipline, computed by defining a propensity to cite at a given distance within the collaboration network. Overall, there is little tendency to cite those nearby in the collaboration network, excluding direct self-citations. By analyzing these social references, we characterize the social capital of local collaboration networks in terms of the knowledge production within scientific fields. These results have implications for the long-standing debate over biases common to most types of citation analysis, and for understanding citation practices across scientific disciplines over the past 50 years. In addition, our findings have important practical implications for the availability of 'arm's length' expert reviewers of grant applications and manuscripts.
Using a resource theoretic perspective to witness and engineer quantum generalized contextuality for prepare-and-measure scenarios

description: We employ the resource theory of generalized contextuality as a tool for analyzing the structure of prepare-and-measure scenarios. We argue that this framework simplifies proofs of quantum contextuality in complex scenarios and strengthens existing arguments regarding robustness of experimental implementations. As a case study, we demonstrate quantum contextuality associated with any nontrivial noncontextuality inequality for a class of useful scenarios by noticing a connection between the resource theory and measurement simulability. Additionally, we expose a formal composition rule that allows engineering complex scenarios from simpler ones. This approach provides insights into the noncontextual polytope structure for complex scenarios and facilitates the identification of possible quantum violations of noncontextuality inequalities.

Partition and Analytic Rank are Equivalent over Large Fields

description: We prove that the partition rank and the analytic rank of tensors are equal up to a constant, over finite fields of any characteristic and any large enough cardinality depending on the analytic rank. Moreover, we show that a plausible improvement of our field cardinality requirement would imply that the ranks are equal up to 1+o(1) in the exponent over every finite field. At the core of the proof is a technique for lifting decompositions of multilinear polynomials in an open subset of an algebraic variety, and a technique for finding a large subvariety that retains all rational points such that at least one of these points satisfies a finite-field analogue of genericity with respect to it. Proving the equivalence between these two ranks, ideally over fixed finite fields, is a central question in additive combinatorics, and was reiterated by multiple authors. As a corollary we prove, allowing the field to depend on the value of the norm, the Polynomial Gowers Inverse Conjecture in the d vs. d-1 case.

A gauged non-universal $U(1)_{X}$ model to study muon $g-2$ and $B$ meson anomalies

description: We study a non-universal $U(1)_{X}$ extension of the Standard Model with an extended scalar sector of two doublets and one singlet plus three additional exotic quarks and two exotic charged leptons on the fermionic sector. In order to obtain the observed fermion mass hierarchy, an additional $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ discrete symmetry is imposed, where the heaviest fermions acquire their masses from three different scales determined by two Higgs doublets and one singlet, whereas the lightest fermions obtain their masses from effective operators up to dimension seven. From chiral anomalies cancellation, the model also includes heavy right-handed neutrinos which get massive via an inverse see-saw mechanism, reproducing the observed mass differences for the active neutrinos. We analyze phenomenological consequences of the model in view of the so-called flavour anomalies, namely the latest measurement made by Fermilab of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $g-2$, and additionally, the fit to semi-leptonic $B$ meson decays made by different flavour groups, dominated mainly by the LHCb 2020 data. We obtain that the model can explain the former at the $1σ$ level by means of contributions coming from charged $W^{+}$ bosons interacting with exotic Majorana neutrinos at one-loop level, with the $Z'$ boson contribution itself coming from the $U(1)_X$ symmetry being negligible. However, we find that the model is able to accommodate the $b\to s\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ transitions associated to the $B$ meson anomalies only at the $2σ$ level via tree-level $Z'$ boson exchange, while simultaneously respecting various constraints from the recent $R_{K^{(*)}}$ measurements made by the LHCb, neutrino trident production and $B-\bar B$ oscillations.

By the side of "The Roaring Lion" : Yousuf Karsh's portrait of Winston Churchill and British/Canadian wartime relations
Creators: name: Lesser, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh’s 1941 portrait of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was published in newspapers, magazines and books throughout the Second World War; commonly referred to as “The Roaring Lion”, it served as a symbol of the strength of the Allied forces. To this day the image is reproduced in monographs, exhibition catalogues and biographies celebrating the lives of Winston Churchill and Yousuf Karsh. In this paper I move beyond the emphasis on the sitter and the photographer in order to argue that this photographic portrait served as the visual rhetoric of British/Canadian wartime relations. My assertion, that in its reception this portrait both reflected and shaped Canada’s wartime role in the British Commonwealth, stems from consideration of an often overlooked detail in the photograph – a speech to the Canadian Parliament in Churchill’s coat pocket. My study of the Churchill portrait is framed by Roland Barthes’ reflections on the photographic pose and Max Kozloff’s arguments concerning the theatricality of formal portraiture. I begin by tracing how the story of “The Roaring Lion” has evolved since its inception, establishing that previous studies have only touched upon the significance of this portrait from the perspective of a Canadian wartime audience. I suggest that this photograph of Churchill served a purpose in appealing to both political and public desires, fulfilling the need for an image of a strong leader at this particular point in the Allied and specifically Canadian war effort. Further exploration of the broader historical context demonstrates how the nature of Canada’s wartime role may be characterized as a struggle to exercise newfound sovereignty while remaining loyally at the side of the British. Finally, I examine why Karsh’s traditional style of formal portraiture appealed to the Canadian government as a form of unobtrusive war propaganda. I compare several of Karsh’s portrait studies of Canadian Prime Minister W.L. Mackenzie King to that of the Churchill portrait, in order to further support my assertion that this image of the British leader contributed to the rhetoric surrounding Canada’s wartime role – by the side of “The Roaring Lion”.
Reverse Brunn-Minkowski and reverse entropy power inequalities for convex measures

description: We develop a reverse entropy power inequality for convex measures, which may be seen as an affine-geometric inverse of the entropy power inequality of Shannon and Stam. The specialization of this inequality to log-concave measures may be seen as a version of Milman's reverse Brunn-Minkowski inequality. The proof relies on a demonstration of new relationships between the entropy of high dimensional random vectors and the volume of convex bodies, and on a study of effective supports of convex measures, both of which are of independent interest, as well as on Milman's deep technology of $M$-ellipsoids and on certain information-theoretic inequalities. As a by-product, we also give a continuous analogue of some Plünnecke-Ruzsa inequalities from additive combinatorics.

To achieve this, we solve an associated complex Monge-Ampère equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. We also prove uniqueness under some more assumptions on the open set.

description: As metabolomics datasets are becoming larger and more complex, there is an increasing need for model-based data integration and analysis to optimally leverage these data. Dynamical models of metabolism allow for the integration of heterogeneous data and the analysis of dynamical phenotypes. Here, we review recent efforts in using dynamical metabolic models for data integration, focusing on approaches that are not restricted to steady-state measurements or that require flux distributions as inputs. Furthermore, we discuss recent advances and current challenges. We conclude that much progress has been made in various areas, such as the development of scalable simulation tools, and that, although challenges remain, dynamical modeling is a powerful tool for metabolomics data analysis that is not yet living up to its full potential.

description: The class of those (torsion-free) $SI^*$-groups which are not locally soluble, has the cardinality of the continuum. Moreover, these groups are not only pairwise non-isomorphic, but also they generate pairwise different varieties of groups. Thus, the set of varieties generated by not locally soluble $SI^*$-groups is of the same cardinality as the set of all varieties of groups. It is possible to localize a variety of groups which contains all groups and varieties constructed. The examples constructed here continue the well known example of a not locally soluble $SI^*$-group built by Hall and by Kovács and Neumann.

description: We report on sensitive observations of the CO(7-6) and CI(2-1) transitions in the z=2.79 QSO host galaxy RXJ0911.4+0551 using the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer (PdBI). Our extremely high signal to noise spectra combined with the narrow CO line width of this source (FWHM = 120 km/s) allows us to estimate sensitive limits on the space-time variations of the fundamental constants using two emission lines. Our observations show that the CI and CO line shapes are in good agreement with each other but that the CI line profile is of order 10% narrower, presumably due to the lower opacity in the latter line. Both lines show faint wings with velocities up to +/-250 km/s, indicative of a molecular outflow. As such the data provide direct evidence for negative feedback in the molecular gas phase at high redshift. Our observations allow us to determine the observed frequencies of both transitions with so far unmatched accuracy at high redshift. The redshift difference between the CO and CI lines is sensitive to variations of dF/F with F=alpha^2/mu where alpha is the fine structure constant and mu the proton-to-electron mass ratio. We find dF/F=6.9 +/-3.7 x 10^-6 at a lookback time of 11.3 Gyr, which within the uncertainties, is consistent with no variations of the fundamental constants.

description: Heteroepitaxial superlattices of [YBa2Cu3O7(n)/ La0.67Ca0.33MnO3(m)]x, where n and m are the number of YBCO and LCMO monolayers and x the number of bilayer repetitions, have been grown with pulsed laser deposition on NdGaO3 (110) and Sr0.7La0.3Al0.65Ta0.35O3 (LSAT) (001). These substrates are well lattice matched with YBCO and LCMO and, unlike the commonly used SrTiO3, they do not give rise to complex and uncontrolled strain effects due to structural transitions at low temperature. The growth dynamics and the structure have been studied in-situ with reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and ex-situ with scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), x-ray diffraction, and neutron reflectometry. The individual layers are found to be flat and continuous over long lateral distances with sharp and coherent interfaces and with a well-defined thickness of the individual layer. The only visible defects are antiphase boundaries in the YBCO layers that originate from perovskite unit cell height steps at the interfaces with the LCMO layers. We also find that the first YBCO monolayer at the interface with LCMO has an unusual growth dynamics and is lacking the CuO chain layer while the subsequent YBCO layers have the regular Y-123 structure. Accordingly, the CuO2 bilayers at both the LCMO/YBCO and the YBCO/LCMO interfaces are lacking one of their neighboring CuO chain layers and thus half of their hole doping reservoir. Nevertheless, from electric transport measurements on asuperlattice with n=2 we obtain evidence that the interfacial CuO2 bilayers remain conducting and even exhibit the onset of a superconducting transition at very low temperature. Finally, we show from dc magnetization and neutron reflectometry measurements that the LCMO layers are strongly ferromagnetic.
Local available quantum correlations of X states: The symmetric and anti-symmetric cases

description: Local available quantum correlations (LAQC), as defined by Mundarain et al., are analyzed for 2-qubit X states with local Bloch vectors of equal magnitude. Symmetric X-states are invariant under the exchange of subsystems, hence having the same {local} Bloch vector. On the other hand, anti-symmetric X states have {local} Bloch vectors with an equal magnitude but opposite direction {(anti-parallel)}. In both cases, we obtain exact analytical expressions for their LAQC quantifier. We present some examples and compare this quantum correlation to concurrence and quantum discord. We have also included Markovian decoherence, with Werner states under amplitude damping decoherence. As is the case for depolarization and phase damping, no sudden death behavior occurs for the LAQC of these states with this quantum channel.

description: Burst-mode lasers and burst-mode optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) are applied and developed for planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) measurements of key species for high-speed combustion measurements. OH-PLIF in the rotating detonation engine was performed for the first time at wave structure visualization in two different planes and was 10 times faster than any other burst mode OH-PLIF measurements at the time. The same system was used to perform another OH-PLIF experiment at 1 MHz for ~200 pulses to compare key features of the detonation wave structure with computational fluid dynamic simulations and a fundamental detonation tube experiment. The system was also used for seedless velocity measurements in the exhaust by tracking a pocket of OH with a technique called FLASH. A similar OPO was built, aligned, and tuned to perform 1 MHz NO PLIF in a Mach 10 hypersonic tunnel to visualize second mode instabilities and calculate the frequency in the boundary layer transition of a 7-degree cone. A high-efficiency OPO was developed and characterized utilizing the KTP crystal to provide narrow bandwidth pulses for the fluorescence of multiple species. The OPO was pumped at repetition rates up to 1 MHz and was calculated to have a 1.9% UV efficiency from the fundamental 1064 nm output. This is 3 – 5 times increase in efficiency from previous custom and commercial built OPOs. The OPO was applied to the RDC for OH PLIF in the combustor channel and NO PLIF for injector dynamics and response studies. Lastly, a burst-mode laser was used to perform LII on the post detonation blast flow field to measure explosively generated soot. The data was taken at 1 MHz and compared and corrected with a separate set of experiments and computational simulations.

description: We show that the Davies generator associated to any 2D Kitaev's quantum double model has a non-vanishing spectral gap in the thermodynamic limit. This validates rigorously the extended belief that those models are useless as self-correcting quantum memories, even in the non-abelian case. The proof uses recent ideas and results regarding the characterization of the spectral gap for parent Hamiltonians associated to Projected Entangled Pair States in terms of a bulk-boundary correspondence.

description: In a previous paper, we discussed simple examples like particle on a circle and molecules to argue that mixed states can arise from anomalous symmetries. This idea was applied to the breakdown (anomaly) of color SU(3) in the presence of non-abelian monopoles. Such mixed states create entropy as well. In this article, we extend these ideas to the topological geons of Friedman and Sorkin in quantum gravity. The "large diffeos" or mapping class groups can become anomalous in their quantum theory as we show. One way to eliminate these anomalies is to use mixed states, thereby creating entropy. These ideas may have something to do with black hole entropy as we speculate.

description: Imagine a coverage area where each mobile device is communicating with a preferred set of wireless access points (among many) that are selected based on its needs and cooperate to jointly serve it, instead of creating autonomous cells. This effectively leads to a user-centric post-cellular network architecture, which can resolve many of the interference issues and service-quality variations that appear in cellular networks. This concept is called User-centric Cell-free Massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) and has its roots in the intersection between three technology components: Massive MIMO, coordinated multipoint processing, and ultra-dense networks. The main challenge is to achieve the benefits of cell-free operation in a practically feasible way, with computational complexity and fronthaul requirements that are scalable to enable massively large networks with many mobile devices. This monograph covers the foundations of User-centric Cell-free Massive MIMO, starting from the motivation and mathematical definition. It continues by describing the state-of-the-art signal processing algorithms for channel estimation, uplink data reception, and downlink data transmission with either centralized or distributed implementation. The achievable spectral efficiency is mathematically derived and evaluated numerically using a running example that exposes the impact of various system parameters and algorithmic choices. The fundamental tradeoffs between communication performance, computational complexity, and fronthaul signaling requirements are thoroughly analyzed. Finally, the basic algorithms for pilot assignment, dynamic cooperation cluster formation, and power optimization are provided, while open problems related to these and other resource allocation problems are reviewed. All the numerical examples can be reproduced using the accompanying Matlab code.

description: The construction industry faces increasing vulnerabilities due to Black Swan Events (BSEs), high-impact, unpredictable disruptions that reshape global supply chains. Recent events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Suez Canal Blockade, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have exposed weaknesses in procurement strategies, leading to significant delays and cost escalations. The present research develops a decision-making framework to enhance supply chain resilience, focusing on procurement challenges associated with critical construction components such as electrical switchgear.The study explore a decision-making framework to enhance supply chain resilience in construction procurement, particularly under disruptions caused by BSEs. The study follows a mixed method, integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches. Surveys validate the industry's supply chain challenges, while semi-structured interviews with industry professionals provide insights into decision-making processes under extreme uncertainty. The findings are synthesized into a three-module framework: (1) a decision tree model mapping procurement mitigation strategies based on industry responses, (2) a Choosing by Advantages (CBA) methodology for evaluating and selecting mitigation strategies under constrained conditions, and (3) planning of the implementation strategy integrating project management and contractual frameworks to guide structured execution.Industry professionals validated the framework through structured reviews and feedback sessions. The findings highlight mitigation strategies, emphasizing early procurement, alternative sourcing, and contract adaptability as key resilience measures. The research contributes to the construction industry's preparedness by providing a structured decision-support tool, enabling professionals to navigate future supply chain disruptions effectively. The framework offers a foundation for industry adoption and future studies exploring AI-driven decision analytics for risk mitigation.

description: We consider a mixture of a spin-polarized Fermi gas and a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in which s-wave scattering between fermions and the quasiparticles of the dipolar condensate can result in an effective attractive Fermi-Fermi interaction anisotropic in nature and tunable by the dipolar interaction. We show that such an interaction can significantly increase the prospect of realizing a superfluid with a gap parameter characterized with a coherent superposition of all odd partial waves. We formulate, in the spirit of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field approach, a theory which allows us to estimate the critical temperature when the anisotropic Fock potential is taken into consideration and to determine the system parameters that optimize the critical temperature at which such a superfluid emerges before the system begins to phase separate.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane using CO2 over mixed metal oxides: insights from isotopic labeling and operando spectroscopy
Creators: name: Thirulogachandar, Dhanush
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Catalytic performance of different active sites on mixed CeO2-TiO2 support for the Oxidative dehydrogenation of Ethane using CO2 as an oxidant was investigated under several reaction conditions. The catalyst with Fe as an active site on mixed CeO2-TiO2 was found to be a promising catalyst with good initial and final conversion. Cr and Ni catalyst had high initial selectivity towards ethylene, but as the reaction proceeds, the selectivity of Cr catalysts reduces significantly. A new approach for studying the surface properties of molybdenum oxide on TiO2 and CeO2-TiO2 using operando Raman spectroscopy was developed. The Raman study showed that pH control during synthesis affected the distribution of Mo structural species on the surface. The dominant configuration of Mo on both TiO2 and CeO2-TiO2 was mono-oxo arrangement. The reactivity of different oxygen sites was also examined using pulse experimentation and operando Raman spectroscopy. Results showed that anchoring/bridging oxygen, despite being less reactive, also participate in H2 combustion.
Phase diagram of the ABC model with nonequal densities

description: The ABC model is a driven diffusive exclusion model, composed of three species of particles that hop on a ring with local asymmetric rates. In the weak asymmetry limit, where the asymmetry vanishes with the length of the system, the model exhibits a phase transition between a homogenous state and a phase separated state. We derive the exact solution for the density profiles of the three species in the hydrodynamic limit for arbitrary average densities. The solution yields the complete phase diagram of the model and allows the study of the nature of the first order phase transition found for average densities that deviate significantly from the equal densities point.

description: Neural networks for NLP are becoming increasingly complex and widespread, and there is a growing concern if these models are responsible to use. Explaining models helps to address the safety and ethical concerns and is essential for accountability. Interpretability serves to provide these explanations in terms that are understandable to humans. Additionally, post-hoc methods provide explanations after a model is learned and are generally model-agnostic. This survey provides a categorization of how recent post-hoc interpretability methods communicate explanations to humans, it discusses each method in-depth, and how they are validated, as the latter is often a common concern.

description: Mindfulness practices are valuable exercises for physical and mental health. Various digital applications exist that support individuals in practicing mindfulness. Following the trend of gamifying utilitarian systems, many mindfulness applications (MAs) incorporate game design elements (GDEs). However, little is known about users’ GDE preferences in this unique context. In line with extant research that investigated users’ GDE preferences in other contexts, we conducted an online survey among 168 potential users of MAs. The results indicate that users generally prefer progress, levels, and goals in MAs, while leaderboards and avatars are not highly rated. Furthermore, we identified four context-independent and three context-dependent rationales that help explain users’ GDE preferences. By providing first insights into MAs as a peculiar application context for gamification, our work contributes to advancing knowledge of contextual differences in users’ GDE preferences while challenging the extant research assumptions regarding the dominance of contextual factors in forming user preferences.

description: Let $X$ be a curve over a field $k$ finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $t$ an indeterminate. We prove that, if $s$ is a section of $π_{1}(X)\to\operatorname{Gal}(k)$ such that the base change $s_{k(t)}$ is birationally liftable, then $s$ comes from geometry. As a consequence we prove that the section conjecture is equivalent to the cuspidalization of all sections over all finitely generated fields.

Making revolutions: labor and power at the Atlantic dockside, 1740-1840
Creators: name: Snow, Henry
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines revolution, mechanization, and abolition in the British Atlantic during the Age of Revolutions through social histories of three ports: the commercial slave-trading town of Newport, Rhode Island, the colonial repair port of English Harbour, in Antigua, and naval production hub Portsmouth, in England. It traces community formation and collective action among common people, focused on the relationship between labor and power. Tracing conflicts between these working communities and political and economic elites, it argues revolution, mechanization, and abolition were interconnected processes shaped by these labor conflicts, in which common people at the dockside operated not as self-interested individuals but constructed collectives.

description: The mechanism of unconventional superconductivity in correlated materials remains a great challenge in condensed matter physics. The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates, as analog to high-Tc cuprates, has opened a new route to tackle this challenge. By growing 8 nm Pr0.8Sr0.2NiO2 films on the (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 substrate, we successfully raise the transition temperature Tc from 9 K in the widely studied SrTiO3-substrated nickelates into 15 K. By combining x-ray absorption spectroscopy with the first-principles and many-body simulations, we find a positive correlation between Tc and the pre-edge peak intensity, which can be attributed to the hybridization between Ni and O orbitals induced by the strain. Our result suggests that structural engineering can further enhance unconventional superconductivity, and the charge-transfer property plays a crucial role in the pairing strength.

description: We explore the equation of state (EoS) for dark energy $w_{\mathrm{DE}}$ in modified gravitational theories to explain the current accelerated expansion of the universe. We explicitly demonstrate that the future crossings of the phantom divide line of $w_{\mathrm{DE}}=-1$ are the generic feature in the existing viable $f(R)$ gravity models. Furthermore, we show that the crossing of the phantom divide can be realized in the combined $f(T)$ theory constructed with the exponential and logarithmic terms. In addition, we investigate the effective EoS for the universe when the finite-time future singularities occur in non-local gravity.
