description: Building façades are key to the building systems integration necessary to realise critical health, carbon, resilience, and sustainability goals in buildings and urban habitats. In addition, façade system design and delivery may be the most rapidly developing building technology, with novel materials, assemblies and techniques introduced in the marketplace frequently. However, these developments are occurring in the long-running absence of an appropriate framework for façade system performance evaluation. There has been no general convergence on the assessment criteria nor, for the most part, on the metrics to accompany those criteria. The convergence of myriad and often competing variables that characterise the building façade mark the development of a comprehensive integrative assessment framework as a wicked problem, The lack of such a framework inhibits meaningful development and adoption of innovative façade technology, leaving aesthetic considerations to drive application and compromising the evolution of performative system behaviour. It prohibits a meaningful comparison between façade systems, or of new techniques with prior applications. Adoption of new façade technology is constrained as designers, building owners, and, most importantly, authorities with jurisdiction at the level of city government are unable to accurately value its performative contribution to occupants, to a building project, or to the urban environment. Very early efforts and thinking in the development of a comprehensive Integrative Façade Assessment Framework by the Façade Metrics Working Group of the Façade Tectonics Institute are documented here. A preliminary review of existing façade system metrics and assessment strategies reveals they are fragmented, too narrowly focused, and lack the comprehensive integration to provide an accurate evaluation. With a strong focus on energy performance in new buildings, deep and vital considerations like retrofit and renovation strategies, passive survivability, durability and service life, and resilience are often neglected entirely. We outline some new directions that begin to address these gaps and suggest a data-rich, visual framework and knowledge-sharing platform to advance progress with enhanced metrics and façade systems evaluation and comparison.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to revolutionize the practice of medicine. Recent advancements in the field of deep learning have demonstrated success in a variety of clinical tasks: detecting diabetic retinopathy from images, predicting hospital readmissions, aiding in the discovery of new drugs, etc. AI's progress in medicine, however, has led to concerns regarding the potential effects of this technology upon relationships of trust in clinical practice. In this paper, I will argue that there is merit to these concerns, since AI systems can be relied upon, and are capable of reliability, but cannot be trusted, and are not capable of trustworthiness. Insofar as patients are required to rely upon AI systems for their medical decision-making, there is potential for this to produce a deficit of trust in relationships in clinical practice.

description: We study the magnetism in NdFe$_2$Ga$_8$ by the neutron-diffraction and temperature-modulated linear {Grüneisen} parameter measurements. Previous thermodynamical measurements have demonstrated that there are two magnetic transitions at 10 and 14.5 K, respectively. Neutron-diffraction measurements confirm that the lower one is an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition with a commensurate magnetic structure. Both the commensurate and the incommensurate (IC) magnetic peaks are found below the higher transition but their intensities only gradually increase with decreasing temperature. Below 10 K, the commensurate peak intensity increases quickly with decreasing temperature, signaling the AFM transition, while the IC peak intensity disappears below 5 K. The linear {Grüneisen} parameter along the $c$ axis, $Γ_c$, shows a hysteresis behavior that is different from the hysteresis behavior for the magnetization $M$. We give a discussion of the origin of the magnetism in NdFe$_2$Ga$_8$.

description: We present temporal and spectral characteristics of X-ray flares observed from six late-type G-K active dwarfs (V368 Cep, XI Boo, IM Vir, V471 Tau, CC Eri and EP Eri) using data from observations with the XMM-Newton observatory. All the stars were found to be flaring frequently and altogether a total of seventeen flares were detected above the ``quiescent'' state X-ray emission which varied from 0.5 to 8.3 x 10^{29} erg/s. The largest flare was observed in a low activity dwarf XI Boo with a decay time of 10 ks and ratio of peak flare luminosity to ``quiescent'' state luminosity of 2. We have studied the spectral changes during the flares by using colour-colour diagram and by detailed spectral analysis during the temporal evolution of the flares. The exponential decay of the X-ray light curves, and time evolution of the plasma temperature and emission measure are similar to those observed in compact solar flares. We have derived the semiloop lengths of flares based on the hydrodynamic flare model. The size of the flaring loops is found to be less than the stellar radius. The hydrodynamic flare decay analysis indicates the presence of sustained heating during the decay of most flares.

We examine the experimental setup in connection with ongoing rotating cryostat experiments. The theoretical analysis is based on the well-established Ginzburg--Landau functional, supplemented by microscopic calculations of the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equation, both of which allow the precise location of the parameter regions of the Majorana state to be found in realistic situations.

description: Accurate measurements of stellar positions and velocities are crucial for studying galactic and stellar dynamics. We aim to create a Cartesian catalog from {\it Gaia} DR3 to serve as a high-precision database for further research using stellar coordinates and velocities. To avoid the negative parallax values, we select 31,129,169 sources in {\it Gaia} DR3 with radial velocity, where the fractional parallax error is less than 20\% ($0 < σ_\varpi/\varpi < 0.2$). To select the most accurate and efficient method of propagating mean and covariance, we use the Monte Carlo results with $10^7$ samples (MC7) as the benchmark, and compare the precision of linear, second-order, and Monte Carlo error propagation methods. By assessing the accuracy of propagated mean and covariance, we observe that second-order error propagation exhibits mean deviations of at most 0.5\% compared to MC7, with variance deviations of up to 10\%. Overall, this outperforms linear transformation. Though Monte Carlo method with $10^4$ samples (MC4) is an order of magnitude slower than second-order error propagation, its covariances propagation accuracy reaches 1\% when $σ_\varpi/\varpi$ is below 15\%. Consequently, we employ second-order error propagation to convert the mean astrometry and radial velocity into Cartesian coordinates and velocities in both equatorial and galactic systems for 30 million {\it Gaia} sources, and apply MC4 for covariance propagation. The Cartesian catalog and source code are provided for future applications in high-precision stellar and galactic dynamics.
A general treatment of geometric phases and dynamical invariants

description: Based only on the parallel transport condition, we present a general method to compute Abelian or non-Abelian geometric phases acquired by the basis states of pure or mixed density operators, which also holds for nonadiabatic and noncyclic evolution. Two interesting features of the non-Abelian geometric phase obtained by our method stand out: i) it is a generalization of Wilczek and Zee's non-Abelian holonomy, in that it describes nonadiabatic evolution where the basis states are parallelly transported between distinct degenerate subspaces, and ii) the non-Abelian character of our geometric phase relies on the transitional evolution of the basis states, even in the nondegenerate case. We apply our formalism to a two-level system evolving nonadiabatically under spontaneous decay to emphasize the non-Abelian nature of the geometric phase induced by the reservoir. We also show, through the generalized invariant theory, that our general approach encompasses previous results in the literature.

description: We study a new diluted magnetic semiconductor system based on the spin of the ionized acceptor Cr$^+$. We show that the negatively charged Cr$^+$ ion, an excited state of the Cr in II-VI semiconductor, can be stable when inserted in a CdTe quantum dot (QD). The Cr$^+$ attracts a heavy-hole in the QD and form a stable hole-Cr$^+$ complex. Optical probing of this system reveals a ferromagnetic coupling between heavy-holes and Cr$^+$ spins. At low temperature, the thermalization on the ground state of the hole-Cr$^+$ system with parallel spins prevents the optical recombination of the excess electron on the 3$d$ shell of the atom. We study the dynamics of the nano-magnet formed by the hole-Cr$^+$ exchange interaction. The ferromagnetic ground states with M$_z$=$\pm$4 can be controlled by resonant optical pumping and a spin relaxation time in the 20 $μ$s range is obtained at T=4.2 K. This spin memory at zero magnetic field is limited by the interaction with phonons.

description: Tables in scientific papers contain a wealth of valuable knowledge for the scientific enterprise. To help the many of us who frequently consult this type of knowledge, we present Tab2Know, a new end-to-end system to build a Knowledge Base (KB) from tables in scientific papers. Tab2Know addresses the challenge of automatically interpreting the tables in papers and of disambiguating the entities that they contain. To solve these problems, we propose a pipeline that employs both statistical-based classifiers and logic-based reasoning. First, our pipeline applies weakly supervised classifiers to recognize the type of tables and columns, with the help of a data labeling system and an ontology specifically designed for our purpose. Then, logic-based reasoning is used to link equivalent entities (via sameAs links) in different tables. An empirical evaluation of our approach using a corpus of papers in the Computer Science domain has returned satisfactory performance. This suggests that ours is a promising step to create a large-scale KB of scientific knowledge.

description: This research reframes the contemporary perspective of museum and heritage studies by exploring how the role of Al Dhafra women as cultural heritage protectors in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can act as models for female empowerment. This research contributes to global knowledge of production and safeguarding of intangible heritage practices by investigating how Al Dhafra women have transformed the UAE cultural heritage landscape. This under-researched area relates to the correlation between intangible heritage and female empowerment, examined on a cultural level, to illustrate the positive impact on the international field of museum studies, especially in relation to the areas of collaborative practice and community engagement.The study examines how cultural heritage can be preserved through empowerment of women in rural regions. It presents an understanding of cultural heritage preservation in the UAE linked to the cultural identity of the local community. The research methodology for this study involves qualitative research methods of individual, in-depth interviews, and focus groups held in the Al Dhafra region and in UAE cultural institutions. The thesis demonstrates how Al Dhafra women express their feelings of empowerment through their role as cultural protectors of the UAE’s intangible cultural heritage (values, beliefs, knowledge, skills, and storytelling) and tangible cultural heritage (handicrafts).This thesis provides recommendations for governmental organizations and museums to support empowerment of women through their community engagement programmes; its further theoretical contribution is a new model for female empowerment through intangible and tangible cultural heritage protection.

description: We revisit the merger rate for Galactic double neutron star (DNS) systems in light of recent observational insight into the longitudinal and latitudinal beam shape of the relativistic DNS PSR J1906$+$0746. Due to its young age and its relativistic orbit, the pulsar contributes significantly to the estimate of the joint Galactic merger rate. We follow previous analyses by modelling the underlying pulsar population of nine merging DNS systems and study the impact and resulting uncertainties when replacing simplifying assumptions made in the past with actual knowledge of the beam shape, its extent and the viewing geometry. We find that the individual contribution of PSR J1906$+$0746 increases to $R = 6^{+28}_{-5}$ Myr$^{-1}$ although the values is still consistent with previous estimates given the uncertainties. We also compute contributions to the merger rates from the other DNS systems by applying a generic beam shape derived from that of PSR J1906+0746, evaluating the impact of previous assumptions. We derive a joint Galactic DNS merger rate of $R^{\rm{gen}}_{\rm{MW}} = 32^{+19}_{-9}$Myr$^{-1}$, leading to a LIGO detection rate of ${R}^{\rm{gen}}_{\rm{LIGO}} = 3.5^{+2.1}_{-1.0}$Myr$^{-1}$ (90% conf. limit), considering the upcoming O3 sensitivity of LIGO. As these values are in good agreement with previous estimates, we conclude that the method of estimating the DNS merger and LIGO detection rates via the study of the radio pulsar DNS population is less prone to systematic uncertainties than previously thought.

Interface-plane parameterization for macroscopic grain boundary identification

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The geometric state of a flat boundary is frequently described using the so-called macroscopic parameters. They are a principal tool for dealing with interfaces at the continuous scale. The paper describes a new method for macroscopic identification of boundaries. The proposed approach is based on Euler angles representing orientations of the crystals. Two pairs of the angles are directly related to two vectors normal to the boundary plane in the crystal reference frames, and the new boundary representation can be viewed as a triplet composed of these vectors and the angle of rotation about the axis perpendicular to the plane. The representation resembles the `interface-plane scheme', but unlike the latter, it is a proper parameterization. Basic practical aspects of the parameterization (such as equivalences due to symmetries, fundamental regions, uniform distribution of boundaries) are considered. The parameterization is applied to examination of Bulatov-Reed-Kumar model of grain boundary energy and reveals its previously unknown features. The proposed boundary identification method, apart from its use in numerical calculations, appeals to physical intuition.

description: Combinatorial optimization models a vast range of industrial processes aiming at improving their efficiency. In general, solving this type of problem exactly is computationally intractable. Therefore, practitioners rely on heuristic solution approaches. Variational quantum algorithms are optimization heuristics that can be demonstrated with available quantum hardware. In this case study, we apply four variational quantum heuristics running on IBM's superconducting quantum processors to the job shop scheduling problem. Our problem optimizes a steel manufacturing process. A comparison on 5 qubits shows that the recent filtering variational quantum eigensolver (F-VQE) converges faster and samples the global optimum more frequently than the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA), the standard variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), and variational quantum imaginary time evolution (VarQITE). Furthermore, F-VQE readily solves problem sizes of up to 23 qubits on hardware without error mitigation post processing.

description: Resonant Raman spectra (RRS) of O-H and O-D vibration and libration modes, their combinations and higher harmonics have been observed in LiTaO3 polycrystalline thin films. RRS peaks are superimposed on photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. Monochromatic light from a xenon lamp is used as excitation source. PL spectrum shows two broad peaks, first near the band gap in UV (4.4-4.8eV) and another in the sub band gap region (< 4.0 eV). Band gap PL along with RRS peaks are reported for the first time. Photoluminescence excitation spectrum (PLE) shows a peak at 4.8 eV. Peak positions and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of RRS peaks depend upon the excitation energy. Dispersions of the fundamental and the third harmonic of the stretching mode of O-H with excitation energy are about 800 cm-1/eV and 2000 cm-1/eV respectively. This dispersion is much higher than reported in any other material.

description: This paper offers an overview of the literature discussing oligopoly games in which polluti ng emissions are generated by the supply of goods requiring a natural resource as an input. An analytical summary of the main features of
the interplay between pollution and resource extraction is then given using a differential game based on the Cournot oligopoly model, in which (i) the bearings on resource preservation of Pigouvian tax rate tailored on emissions
are singled out and (ii) the issue of the optimal number of firms in the commons is also addressed.

description: Ultrafast electron diffraction and time-resolved serial crystallography are the basis of the ongoing revolution in capturing at the atomic level of detail the structural dynamics of molecules. However, most experiments employ the classical "ball-and-stick" depictions, and the information of molecular quantum states, such as the density matrix, is missing. Here, we introduce a framework for the preparation and ultrafast coherent diffraction from rotational wave packets of molecules, and we establish a new variant of quantum state tomography for ultrafast electron diffraction to characterize the molecular quantum states. The ability to reconstruct the density matrix of molecules of arbitrary degrees of freedom will provide us with an unprecedentedly clear view of the quantum states of molecules, and enable the visualization of effects dictated by the quantum dynamics of molecules.

description: We consider intersecting brane configurations realizing N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories broken to N=1 by multitrace superpotentials, and softly to N=0. We analyze, in the framework of M5-brane wrapping a curve, the supersymmetric vacua and the analogs of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking and soft supersymmetry breaking in gauge theories. We show that the M5-brane does not exhibit the analog of metastable spontaneous supersymmetry breaking, and does not have non-holomorphic minimal volume curves with holomorphic boundary conditions. However, we find that any point in the N=2 moduli space can be rotated to a non-holomorphic minimal volume curve, whose boundary conditions break supersymmetry. We interpret these as the analogs of soft supersymmetry breaking vacua in the gauge theory.

description: The one-dimensional Brownian motion starting from the origin at time $t=0$, conditioned to return to the origin at time $t=1$ and to stay positive during time interval $0 < t < 1$, is called the Bessel bridge with duration 1. We consider the $N$-particle system of such Bessel bridges conditioned never to collide with each other in $0 < t < 1$, which is the continuum limit of the vicious walk model in watermelon configuration with a wall. Distributions of maximum-values of paths attained in the time interval $t \in (0,1)$ are studied to characterize the statistics of random patterns of the repulsive paths on the spatio-temporal plane. For the outermost path, the distribution function of maximum value is exactly determined for general $N$. We show that the present $N$-path system of noncolliding Bessel bridges is realized as the positive-eigenvalue process of the $2N \times 2N$ matrix-valued Brownian bridge in the symmetry class C. Using this fact computer simulations are performed and numerical results on the $N$-dependence of the maximum-value distributions of the inner paths are reported. The present work demonstrates that the extreme-value problems of noncolliding paths are related with the random matrix theory, representation theory of symmetry, and the number theory.

description: Elastic diffractive scattering of nucleons is described in terms of Regge-eikonal approach. It is demonstrated that, in a wide kinematic region (starting from the U-70 energies), the eikonal of proton-proton scattering can be approximated by the sum of two Reggeon exchange terms (namely, the so-called soft Pomeron and $f$-Reggeon contributions). The range of applicability of the considered approximation is determined. The predictive value of the proposed phenomenological scheme is verified.

description: We demonstrate quantum control of a large spin-angular momentum associated with the F=3 hyperfine ground state of 133Cs. A combination of time dependent magnetic fields and a static tensor light shift is used to implement near-optimal controls and map a fiducial state to a broad range of target states, with yields in the range 0.8-0.9. Squeezed states are produced also by an adiabatic scheme that is more robust against errors. Universal control facilitates the encoding and manipulation of qubits and qudits in atomic ground states, and may lead to improvement of some precision measurements.

description: We present a complete model of a dark QCD sector with light dark pions, broadly motivated by hidden naturalness arguments. The dark quarks couple to the Standard Model via irrelevant $Z$- and Higgs-portal operators, which encode the low-energy effects of TeV-scale fermions interacting through Yukawa couplings with the Higgs field. The dark pions, depending on their $CP$ properties, behave as either composite axion-like particles (ALPs) mixing with the $Z$ or scalars mixing with the Higgs. The dark pion lifetimes fall naturally in the most interesting region for present and proposed searches for long-lived particles, at the LHC and beyond. This is demonstrated by studying in detail three benchmark scenarios for the symmetries and structure of the theory. Within a coherent framework, we analyze and compare the GeV-scale signatures of flavor-changing meson decays to dark pions, the weak-scale decays of $Z$ and Higgs bosons to hidden hadrons, and the TeV-scale signals of the ultraviolet theory. New constraints are derived from $B$ decays at CMS and from $Z$-initiated dark showers at LHCb, focusing on the displaced dimuon signature. We also emphasize the strong potential sensitivity of ATLAS and CMS to dark shower signals with large multiplicities and long lifetimes of the dark pions. As a key part of our phenomenological study, we perform a new data-driven calculation of the decays of a light ALP to exclusive hadronic Standard Model final states. The results are provided in a general form, applicable to any model with arbitrary flavor-diagonal couplings of the ALP to fermions.

A Gauge field Induced by the Global Gauge Invariance of Action Integral

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: As a general rule, it is considered that the global gauge invariance of an action integral does not cause the occurrence of gauge field. However, in this paper we demonstrate that when the so-called localized assumption is excluded, the gauge field will be induced by the global gauge invariance of the action integral. An example is given to support this conclusion.

description: Objectives: To assess the temporal variations of the large wading birds in the Point Calimere Wildlife Sanctuary and to suggest management recommendations for the better management of the wading birds visited in the sanctuary seasonally. Methods and Statistical analysis: The population characteristic of large wading birds was carried out by employing a ‘direct count’ method. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to understand the impact of various seasons on the population characteristics of large wading birds. Findings: In total, 13 species of large wading birds were observed. Among the 13 species, the Black-headed Ibis and Painted stork are Near Threatened category (IUCN, 2020). Greater Flamingos showed the highest density than the other large wading birds observed from the PCWLS. The density, diversity and species richness of large wading birds were relatively greater in monsoon than the other seasons studied. The population characteristics of large wading birds varied significantly among the months and seasons (P<0.001). Novelty and applications : The diversity of large wading birds is declined when compared to the previous studies. The study revealed that the PCWLS is required intensive assessment of the various ecological factors of the sanctuary for managing various species of waterbirds visited seasonally.Keywords: Conservation; large wading birds; population; waterbirds; wetlands
Partial-state fidelity and quantum phase transitions induced by continuous level crossing

description: The global-state fidelity cannot characterize those quantum phase transitions (QPTs) induced by continuous level crossing due to its collapse around each crossing point. In this paper, we take the isotropic Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model and the antiferromagnetic one-dimensional Heisenberg model as examples to show that the partial-state fidelity can signal such level-crossing QPTs. Extending to the thermodynamic limit we introduce the partial-state fidelity susceptibility and study its scaling behavior. The maximum of the partial-state fidelity susceptibility goes like $N$ for the LMG model and $N^3$ for the Heisenberg model.
