description: We present an analysis of HI Lyman-alpha emission in deep VLT/MUSE observations of two highly magnified and extended galaxies at z=3.5 and 4.03, including a newly discovered, almost complete Einstein ring. While these Lyman-alpha haloes are intrinsically similar to the ones typically seen in other MUSE deep fields, the benefits of gravitational lensing allows us to construct exceptionally detailed maps of Lyman-alpha line properties at sub-kpc scales. By combining all multiple images, we are able to observe complex structures in the Lyman-alpha emission and uncover small (~ 120 km/s in Lyman-alpha peak shift), but significant at > 4 sigma, systematic variations in the shape of the Lyman-alpha line profile within each halo. Indeed, we observe a global trend for the line peak shift to become redder at large radii, together with a strong correlation between the peak wavelength and line width. This systematic intrahalo variation is markedly similar to the object-to-object variations obtained from the integrated properties of recent large samples. Regions of high surface brightness correspond to relatively small line shifts, which could indicate that Lyman-alpha emission escapes preferentially from regions where the line profile has been less severely affected by scattering of Lyman-alpha photons.

description: We study semileptonic decays B -> eta^(\prime) l nu, taking into account the flavor-singlet contribution (F^{singlet}_+) to the B -> eta^(\prime) form factors, which arises from the two-gluon emission in a decaying B meson. It has been recently pointed out that, in addition to large weak annihilation effects, the unknown value of F^{singlet}_+ prevents accurate theoretical estimates in the analysis of B -> eta^\prime K decays in QCD factorization. We present a certain method to determine F^{singlet}_+ with a reasonable accuracy, using B -> eta^(\prime) l nu and B -> pi l nu decays. We also investigate the possible effect of F^{singlet}_+ on the estimated branching ratios (BRs) for B -> eta^(\prime) l nu and find that the BR for B -> eta^\prime l nu is particularly sensitive to the effect of F^{singlet}_+.

description: LI-LMC 1813 is a dust-enshrouded Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star, located in the small open cluster KMHK 1603 near the rim of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Optical and infrared photometry between 0.5 and 60 micron is obtained to constrain the spectral energy distribution of LI-LMC 1813. Near-infrared spectra unambiguously show it to be a carbon star. Modelling with the radiation transfer code Dusty yields accurate values for the bolometric luminosity, L=1.5 x 10^4 Lsun, and mass-loss rate, Mdot=3.7(+/-1.2) x 10^-5 Msun/yr. On the basis of colour-magnitude diagrams, the age of the cluster KMHK 1603 is estimated to be t=0.9-1.0 Gyr, which implies a Zero-Age Main Sequence mass for LI-LMC 1813 of M(ZAMS)=2.2+/-0.1 Msun. This makes LI-LMC 1813 arguably the object with the most accurately and reliably determined (circum)stellar parameters amongst all carbon stars in the superwind phase.

description: The importance of fluorine and aluminum in all aspects of daily life has led to an enormous increase in human exposure to these elements in their various forms. It is therefore important to understand the routes of exposure and to investigate and understand the potential toxicity. Of particular concern are aluminum–fluoride complexes (AlFx), which are able to mimic the natural isostructural phosphate group and influence the activity of numerous essential phosphoryl transferases. Our review of salts of ionic AlFx species, which plausibly form the framework of complexes with biomolecules, revealed that the octahedral configuration of aluminum in the active site of the enzyme is preferred over the trigonal-bipyramidal structure. The effects of varying concentrations of fluoride, aluminum and AlFx—from micromolar to millimolar levels—on the viability and apoptosis rate of THP-1 monocytes were investigated using phosphate buffer solution as a culture media to simulate physiological conditions. Our results suggest that aluminum can reduce the direct toxicity of fluoride through the formation of AlFx. In view of the results found, further in vitro studies are required to clarify the toxicity mechanisms of these species.

description: We adapt the concept of Lagrangian descriptors, which have been recently introduced as efficient indicators of phase space structures in chaotic systems, to unveil the key features of open maps. We apply them to the open tribaker map, a paradigmatic example not only in classical but also in quantum chaos. Our definition allows to identify in a very simple way the inner structure of the chaotic repeller, which is the fundamental invariant set that governs the dynamics of this system. The homoclinic tangles of periodic orbits (POs) that belong to this set are clearly found. This could also have important consequences for chaotic scattering and in the development of the semiclassical theory of short POs for open systems.

description: We propose a new type of cloud classification, relevant to monthly or longer time scales, but which inherently still encompasses cloud subgrid variability information at ~100 km scales. Our proposed classification partitions frequencies of occurrence over these scales of previously defined cloud regimes (CRs). We call the resulting distinct cloud entities regimes of regimes (RORs). While the CRs have been previously shown to successfully classify daily mesoscale subgrid variability via distributions of cloud fraction within distinct combinations of cloud top pressure and cloud optical thickness, the RORs essentially represent the prevalent seasonal mixtures of these CRs. RORs thus embody the seasonal cloudiness of a mesoscale region. We show that each ROR can still be associated with more traditional cloud classifications via composites of coincident active (lidar and cloud radar) cloud views. In a first application that gauges the potential utility of RORs, we pair them with CERES EBAF radiative fluxes to gain insight into recent trends of the cloud radiative effect. The ROR corresponding to an environment of shallow convection stands out in this analysis largely because of its declining population. Our study demonstrates the potential of RORs to categorize globally mesoscale cloudiness at monthly/seasonal scales and to serve as proxies of different atmospheric states at these scales.
Gravitational wave emission from unstable accretion discs in tidal disruption events

description: Gravitational waves can be emitted by accretion discs if they undergo instabilities that generate a time varying mass quadrupole. In this work we investigate the gravitational signal generated by a thick accretion disc of $1 M_{\odot}$ around a static super-massive black hole of $10^{6}M_{\odot}$, assumed to be formed after the tidal disruption of a solar type star. This torus has been shown to be unstable to a global non-axisymmetric hydrodynamic instability, the Papaloizou-Pringle instability, in the case where it is not already accreting and has a weak magnetic field. We start by deriving analytical estimates of the maximum amplitude of the gravitational wave signal, with the aim to establish its detectability by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Then, we compare these estimates with those obtained through a numerical simulation of the torus, made with a 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics code. Our numerical analysis shows that the measured strain is two orders of magnitude lower than the maximum value obtained analytically. However, accretion discs affected by the Papaloizou-Pringle instability may still be interesting sources for LISA, if we consider discs generated after deeply penetrating tidal disruptions of main sequence stars of higher mass.

description: Chemotherapy and radiation probably come to mind, when thinking of cancer treatments. However, that may change soon. In recent years, a lot has happened that has transformed the way the disease is treated. Due to this, more options are available to patients with cancer and their doctors. We have discussed these options with the biology research scientist, Douglas Rosenthal, who studies different options for cancer treatment, and treatment resistance. Immunotherapy Cancer cells can dodge the entire immune system. This makes cancer tough to fight. The body either doesn’t see cancer cells as threats, or it simply can’t work hard enough to fight them. Rosenthal points out in his research articles on cancer treatment that there are some new immunotherapy drugs that “mark” these cells so that they’re easier to find. The body's defenses can be made stronger with these medicines, so they can attack tumors. “Some forms of cancer are being fight by this type of treatment. Many more drugs are in the development phase, “says Rosenthal, who is working heavily on the development of new forms of cancer treatment. A new form of gene therapy, called CAR T-cell therapy, was approved by the FDA. To treat the cancer, this type of therapy uses some of the body own immune cells (T-cells). The cells are taken out of the blood and changed by adding new genes. With this, they can better find and kill cancer cells. Currently, the FDA approved the drug called tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah). This drug can be used for treatment of children and young adults up to age 25 with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who haven’t gotten better with other treatments. Tisagenleleucel and axicabtagene (Yescarta) have been approved for treatment of adults with certain types of B-cell lymphoma that has not improved with other treatments. Scientists, such as Rosenthal, are working on a version of CAR T-cell therapy for adults and for other kinds of cancer. Personalized Medicine In the past, people with different stage and type of cancer got the same treatment. Nowadays, it is known that a solution that helps one person may not work well for someone else. Genes can provide doctors with a better idea which treatments will help you the most. There are also drugs that focus just on deadly cancer cells, instead of wiping out all cells, even healthy ones. Rosenthal and his team of researchers are testing a drug that may be able to help people with stage IV pancreatic cancer. “If there is a high level of a sugar called hyaluronic acid in the cancer cells, the drug, called PEGPH20, can break it down,” says the experienced researcher, “This will allow immune cells and medicines get inside tumors and fight back.”High-Tech Breakthroughs Doctors may easily learn about the cancer they’re up against with the advances in imaging.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) are prone to generating content that exhibits gender biases, raising significant ethical concerns. Alignment, the process of fine-tuning LLMs to better align with desired behaviors, is recognized as an effective approach to mitigate gender biases. Although proprietary LLMs have made significant strides in mitigating gender bias, their alignment datasets are not publicly available. The commonly used and publicly available alignment dataset, HH-RLHF, still exhibits gender bias to some extent. There is a lack of publicly available alignment datasets specifically designed to address gender bias. Hence, we developed a new dataset named GenderAlign, aiming at mitigating a comprehensive set of gender biases in LLMs. This dataset comprises 8k single-turn dialogues, each paired with a "chosen" and a "rejected" response. Compared to the "rejected" responses, the "chosen" responses demonstrate lower levels of gender bias and higher quality. Furthermore, we categorized the gender biases in the "rejected" responses of GenderAlign into 4 principal categories. The experimental results show the effectiveness of GenderAlign in reducing gender bias in LLMs.

description: We propose a model for combining the Standard Model (SM) with gravity. It relies on a non-minimal coupling of the Higgs field to the Ricci scalar and on the Palatini formulation of gravity. Without introducing any new degrees of freedom in addition to those of the SM and the graviton, this scenario achieves two goals. First, it generates the electroweak symmetry breaking by a non-perturbative gravitational effect. In this way, it does not only address the hierarchy problem but opens up the possibility to calculate the Higgs mass. Second, the model incorporates inflation at energies below the onset of strong-coupling of the theory. Provided that corrections due to new physics above the scale of inflation are not unnaturally large, we can relate inflationary parameters to data from collider experiments.

Thermoelectric Modeling of the Non-Ohmic Differential Conductance in a Tunnel Junction containing a Pinhole

description: To test the quality of a tunnel junction, one sometimes fits the bias-dependent differential conductance to a theoretical model, such as Simmons's formula. Recent experimental work by Åkerman and collaborators, however, has demonstrated that a good fit does not necessarily imply a good junction. Modeling the electrical and thermal properties of a tunnel junction containing a pinhole, we extract an effective barrier height and effective barrier width even when as much as 88% of the current flows through the pinhole short rather than tunneling. A good fit of differential conductance to a tunneling form therefore cannot rule out pinhole defects in normal-metal or magnetic tunnel junctions.

description: O presente trabalho procura responder: como a cultura organizacional interfere nas relações internacionais demandadas pelo processo de exportação da empresa TANAC? Dessa forma, busca elucidar como a diversidade cultural de outros países interfere na estratégia de exportação da TANAC; como a cultura organizacional contribuiu para o perfil exportador da empresa ao longo do tempo e como os aspectos culturais externos interferem nos aspectos culturais internos e vice-versa. A abordagem teórica demonstra como a relação entre os aspectos culturais e o comércio internacional se estabelece, destacando a influência da cultura nas negociações internacionais, os elementos e as peculiaridades da cultura organizacional e o processo de adaptação às mudanças a serem inseridas nas organizações por conta dos relacionamentos internacionais. O trabalho caracteriza-se como um estudo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa na análise. A amostragem foi não-probabilística do tipo intencional ou de seleção racional. Para a coleta de dados incluiu os dados primários obtidos por meio de entrevista em profundidade com a aplicação de um questionário semi-estruturado, conversas informais, reuniões e palestras, que envolveu diretores e gerentes da empresa e dados secundários obtidos em publicações do setor, documentos da empresa, materiais de divulgação fornecidos pela empresa, internet e bibliografia. Como conclusão, observa-se que seu perfil exportador influencia e é influenciado pela cultura e que a necessidade de adaptação a uma grande diversidade cultural decorrente dos mais de 70 países com os quais a empresa negocia é marcante e interfere diretamente na consolidação de sua cultura organizacional. Assim, a preocupação ambiental, as certificações e a atualização permanente são valores sedimentados por conta da sua atividade intensa no mercado externo. A cultura, como preocupação dos stakeholders, é manifestada nas ações educacionais em prol de seus funcionários, no desenvolvimento regional e social proporcionado por suas atividades e nas questões ambientais. Além disso, a empresa convive com a diversidade cultural, procurando adaptar-se a ela, e buscando conhecimento e contatos que auxiliem na percepção cultural

A metodologia utilizada caracteriza-se como teórico-empírico e descritiva. Os dados primários forma coletados junto a INFRAERO e os secundários foram coletados em publicações referentes ao temo como também junto a OACI (ORGANIZATION AVIATION CIVIL INTERNATIONAL), CENIPA e FAA. Foram detalhados as os principais métodos de controles utilizados pelo sistema de aviação e as principais causas dos acidentes aviários. É notório o potencial atrativo de aves para os locais usados como depósito final de resíduos sólidos urbanos, sendo que, não raramente, os mesmos são implantados dentro de uma Área de Segurança Aeroportuária – ASA. A natureza e magnitude deste tipo de problema enfrentado por aeroportos dependem de muitos fatores como o tipo e volume do tráfego aéreo, das populações de fauna silvestre local e migratória, das condições de habitat na área. A fauna silvestre é atraída para um aeroporto devido à alimentação, água e abrigo. A maioria das colisões de aeronaves, com aves ocorre nas imediações dos aeroportos, sendo que 78% dá-se abaixo de 1.000 pés AGL (acima do nível do solo). Destas, 35% ocorrem durante as decolagens e subidas, e 49% durante as aproximações e pousos (FAA, Manual de Manejo de Aves, 1999). Devido à ocupação antrópica do entorno dos aeroportos e às deficiências na coleta, tratamento e destinação final de resíduos sólidos urbanos dos municípios, há abundante oferta de material orgânico em lixões - vazadouros de lixo a céu aberto. Os lixões atraem para os seus arredores maciças quantidades de urubus-da-cabeça-preta (Coragyps atratus), objeto deste trabalho.

description: We consider rare radiative B decays such as B -> K^* gamma or B -> rho gamma in soft-collinear effective theory, and show that the decay amplitudes are factorized to all orders in alpha_s and at leading order in Lambda/m_b.By employing two-step matching, we classify the operators for radiative B decays in powers of a small parameter lambda(~ \sqrt{Lambda/m_b}) and obtain the relevant operators to order lambda in SCET_I. These operators are constructed with or without spectator quarks including the four-quark operators contributing to annihilation and W-exchange channels. And we employ SCET_II where the small parameter becomes of order Lambda/m_b, and evolve the operators in order to compute the decay amplitudes for rare radiative decays in soft-collinear effective theory. We show explictly that the contributions from the annihilation channels and the W-exchange channels vanish at leading order in SCET. We present the factorized result for the decay amplitudes in rare radiative B decays at leading order in SCET, and at next-to-leading order in alpha_s.

description: A cold neutral and extremely dim accretion disk may be present as a remnant of a past vigorous activity around the black hole in our Galactic Center (GC). Here we discuss ways to detect such a disk through its interaction with numerous stars present in the central ~0.1 parsec of the Galaxy. The first major effect expected is X-ray and near infrared (NIR) flares arising when stars pass through the disk. The second is eclipses of the stars by the disk. We point out conditions under which the properties of the expected X-ray flares are similar to those recently discovered by Chandra. Since orbits of bright stars are now being precisely measured, the combination of the expected flares and eclipses offers an invaluable tool for constraining the disk density, size, plane and even direction of rotation. The winds of the O-type stars are optically thick to free-free absorption in radio frequencies. If present near Sgr A* core, such powerful stellar winds can modulate and even occult the radio source.

description: Nonlinear interferometers that replace beamsplitters in Mach-Zehnder interferometers with nonlinear amplifiers for quantum-enhanced phase measurements have drawn increasing interest in recent years, but practical quantum sensors based on nonlinear interferometry remain an outstanding challenge. Here, we demonstrate the first practical application of nonlinear interferometry by measuring the displacement of an atomic force microscope microcantilever with quantum noise reduction of up to 3~dB below the standard quantum limit, corresponding to a quantum-enhanced measurement of beam displacement of $\mathrm{1.7~fm/\sqrt{Hz}}$. Further, we show how to minimize photon backaction noise while taking advantage of quantum noise reduction by transducing the cantilever displacement signal with a weak squeezed state while using dual homodyne detection with a higher power local oscillator. This approach offers a path toward quantum-enhanced broadband, high-speed scanning probe microscopy.

Electromagnetic signals from planetary collisions

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Planet-planet collisions are expected during the early stages of the formation of extra-solar planets, and are also possible in mature planetary systems through secular planet-planet perturbations. We investigate the electromagnetic signals accompanied with these planetary collisions and their event rate, and explore the possibility of directly detecting such events. A typical Earth-Jupiter collision would give rise to a prompt EUV-soft-X-ray flash lasting for hours and a bright IR afterglow lasting for thousands of years. It is suggested that with the current and forthcoming observational technology and facilities, some of these collisional flashes or the post-collision remnants could be discovered.

description: Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT demonstrate the remarkable progress of artificial intelligence. However, their tendency to hallucinate -- generate plausible but false information -- poses a significant challenge. This issue is critical, as seen in recent court cases where ChatGPT's use led to citations of non-existent legal rulings. This paper explores how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can counter hallucinations by integrating external knowledge with prompts. We empirically evaluate RAG against standard LLMs using prompts designed to induce hallucinations. Our results show that RAG increases accuracy in some cases, but can still be misled when prompts directly contradict the model's pre-trained understanding. These findings highlight the complex nature of hallucinations and the need for more robust solutions to ensure LLM reliability in real-world applications. We offer practical recommendations for RAG deployment and discuss implications for the development of more trustworthy LLMs.

Quantum squeezing of optical dissipative structures

description: We show that any optical dissipative structure supported by degenerate optical parametric oscillators contains a special transverse mode that is free from quantum fluctuations when measured in a balanced homodyne detection experiment. The phenomenon is not critical as it is independent of the system parameters and, in particular, of the existence of bifurcations. This result is a consequence of the spatial symmetry breaking introduced by the dissipative structure. Effects that could degrade the squeezing level are considered.

description: We analyzed the velocity space of the thin and thick-disk Gaia white dwarf population within 100 pc looking for signatures of the Hercules stellar stream. We aimed to identify those objects belonging to the Hercules stream and, by taking advantage of white dwarf stars as reliable cosmochronometers, to derive a first age distribution. We applied a kernel density estimation to the $UV$ velocity space of white dwarfs. For the region where a clear overdensity of stars was found, we created a 5-D space of dynamic variables. We applied a hierarchichal clustering method, HDBSCAN, to this 5-D space, identifying those white dwarfs that share similar kinematic characteristics. Finally, under general assumptions and from their photometric properties, we derived an age estimate for each object. The Hercules stream was firstly revealed as an overdensity in the $UV$ velocity space of the thick-disk white dwarf population. Three substreams were then found: Hercules $a$ and Hercules $b$, formed by thick-disk stars with an age distribution peaked $4\,$Gyr in the past and extended to very old ages; and Hercules $c$, with a ratio of 65:35 thin:thick stars and a more uniform age distribution younger than 10 Gyr.

description: Despite considerable debate as to Wal-Mart’s impact on retail workers, to date there has been little structural analysis on the topic. This paper measures and tests for Wal-Mart’s monopsony power in local labor markets using a dominant-firm model and data on contiguous U.S. counties where the company operates. Empirical results show that Wal-Mart’s monopsony power over workers varies significantly across the country, being higher in rural counties, particularly in the south. For instance, Wal-Mart’s buying power index in labor markets in rural southern central states is estimated to be 6% or higher while the impact on northeastern states’ wages is negligible. The results suggest that this is not a nationwide problem.

description: What resources and technologies are strategic? This question is often the focus of policy and theoretical debates, where the label "strategic" designates those assets that warrant the attention of the highest levels of the state. But these conversations are plagued by analytical confusion, flawed heuristics, and the rhetorical use of "strategic" to advance particular agendas. We aim to improve these conversations through conceptual clarification, introducing a theory based on important rivalrous externalities for which socially optimal behavior will not be produced alone by markets or individual national security entities. We distill and theorize the most important three forms of these externalities, which involve cumulative-, infrastructure-, and dependency-strategic logics. We then employ these logics to clarify three important cases: the Avon 2 engine in the 1950s, the U.S.-Japan technology rivalry in the late 1980s, and contemporary conversations about artificial intelligence.

description: Dentre os estados brasileiros que produzem e exportam Suco de Laranja Concentrado Congelado (SLCC) está o estado do Paraná. No ano de 2005, as agroindústrias paranaenses de SLCC produziram mais de 25 mil toneladas de produto, a maioria tendo como destino o mercado internacional. Já a movimentação econômico-financeira deste setor ultrapassou a cifra de R$ 59 milhões. Este trabalho propõe-se a estudar o agronegócio paranaense do suco de laranja a partir do estudo de três agroindústrias produtoras de suco de laranja concentrado congelado instaladas no estado do Paraná. Os dados primários foram colhidos por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas junto aos gerentes gerais de cada uma das agroindústrias. A partir do trabalho, verifica-se a incipiência do agronegócio paranaense do SLCC e a importância de implementar ações que contribuam com o processo de crescimento e desenvolvimento desse segmento do agronegócio paranaense.

description: The maker movement embodies a resurgence in DIY creation, merging physical craftsmanship and arts with digital technology support. However, mere technological skills and creativity are insufficient for economically and psychologically sustainable practice. By illuminating and smoothing the path from ``maker" to ``maker entrepreneur," we can help broaden the viability of making as a livelihood. Our research centers on makers who design, produce, and sell physical goods. In this work, we explore the transition to entrepreneurship for these makers and how technology can facilitate this transition online and offline. We present results from interviews with 20 USA-based maker entrepreneurs {(i.e., lamps, stickers)}, six creative service entrepreneurs {(i.e., photographers, fabrication)}, and seven support personnel (i.e., art curator, incubator director). Our findings reveal that many maker entrepreneurs 1) are makers first and entrepreneurs second; 2) struggle with business logistics and learn business skills as they go; and 3) are motivated by non-monetary values. We discuss training and technology-based design implications and opportunities for addressing challenges in developing economically sustainable businesses around making.
