description: We report on an experimental test of classical and quantum dimension. We have used a dimension witness which can distinguish between quantum and classical systems of dimension 2,3 and 4 and performed the experiment for all five cases. The witness we have chosen is a base of semi-device independent cryptographic and randomness expansion protocols. Therefore, the part of the experiment, in which qubits were used, is a realization of these protocols. In our work we also present an analytic method for finding the maximal quantum value of the witness along with corresponding measurements and preparations. This method is quite general and can be applied to any linear dimension witness.

description: Street dust samples were collected from 31 sampling sites which were classified into four different groups in Zawiya, Libya, covering different traffic, city center, junkyards, oil refinery, farming, and household activities. Since the potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in street dust have a non-negligible impact on health, the aim of this study is to investigate the sources, pollution level and human health risk of PTEs. In this study, wavelength distribution X-ray fluorescence device was used to determine the concentration of PTEs. The spatial distribution, contamination levels, sources, and human health risks of PTEs in road dust were evaluated. The PTEs content of the street dust were found as Cr>Mn>Zn>Pb>Cu>Ni>Co. The average concentration of most PTEs (Co, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn) was higher in junkyards and heavily traffic areas than in other areas. Cobalt and Cu has the highest geo accumulation index (Igeo) values, and due to these values, the study area was evaluated as moderately to heavily contaminated. Enrichment factor (EF) values of Cr, Pb and Zn exhibited a significant enrichment, indicating that some sampling sites were affected by anthropogenic sources. There was no lifetime cancer risk for exposure to PTEs in street dust by inhalation in Zawiya. Each hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) for all PTEs were less than 1, indicating that exposure to PTEs in street dust did not have significant non-carcinogenic risks for both adults and children. In conclusion, Zn, Pb, Cu, Mn, and Cr were represented by the largest portion of the total data variance in the principal component analysis (PCA), and they were positively correlated. It was seen that study area was influenced by anthropogenic sources rather than natural sources, but there was no health risk.

description: A simple, efficient and cost-effective ultrasound-assisted extraction method for the quantification of penoxsulam, anilofos, bispyribac sodium, butachlor and pretilachlor from soil and rice was developed and validated. Three independent variables, including ultrasonication temperature, ultrasonication time, type and volume of solvent, were studied by single-factor experiments. Box–Behnken design (BBD) was also used to determine the optimal parameters for efficient extraction of penoxsulam, anilofos, bispyribac sodium, butachlor and pretilachlor herbicides from soil and rice. Under optimum conditions, the mean percent recoveries ranged from 82.1 ± 3.32 to 93.8 ± 2.56 from soil and rice grain with relative standard deviation <10% and limit of quantification less than the maximum residue limits imposed by principal regulatory agencies. Results depicted that the experimental values were consistent with the predicted values, indicating that RSM is accurate and reliable method to find the optimal UAE extraction conditions for studied herbicides from soil and rice. Furthermore, the greenness was evaluated using AGREE metrics, and UAE was found to be a greener and efficient method for the determination of herbicides from soil and rice. The developed method was extended to the analysis of real samples and concentration of herbicides at 0 day in soil samples varied from 0.483 ± 1.65 to 1.420 ± 1.41 µg g−1. At harvest, the concentrations of herbicides in soil and rice were below the permissible limit (<0.01 µg g−1).

description: We propose an analog quantum simulator for the Holstein molecular-crystal model based on a superconducting circuit QED system in the dispersive regime. By varying the driving field on the superconducting resonators, one can readily access both the adiabatic and anti-adiabatic regimes of this model. Strong e-ph coupling required for small-polaron formation can also be reached. We show that small-polaron state of arbitrary quasimomentum can be generated by applying a microwave pulse to the resonators. We also show that significant squeezing in the resonator modes can be achieved in the polaron-crossover regime through a measurement-based scheme.

description: Consider the Erdős-Renyi random graph on n vertices where each edge is present independently with probability c/n, with c>0 fixed. For large n, a typical random graph locally behaves like a Galton-Watson tree with Poisson offspring distribution with mean c. Here, we study large deviations from this typical behavior within the framework of the local weak convergence of finite graph sequences. The associated rate function is expressed in terms of an entropy functional on unimodular measures and takes finite values only at measures supported on trees. We also establish large deviations for other commonly studied random graph ensembles such as the uniform random graph with given number of edges growing linearly with the number of vertices, or the uniform random graph with given degree sequence. To prove our results, we introduce a new configuration model which allows one to sample uniform random graphs with a given neighborhood distribution, provided the latter is supported on trees. We also introduce a new class of unimodular random trees, which generalizes the usual Galton Watson tree with given degree distribution to the case of neighborhoods of arbitrary finite depth. These generalized Galton Watson trees turn out to be useful in the analysis of unimodular random trees and may be considered to be of interest in their own right.

description: The objective of the present study was the restoration of sterilized soil contaminated with atrazine (5.52 mg kg−1) using atrazine-degrading bacteria, biochar, and poultry manure amendments. The atrazine-degrading bacterium was purified from a mixed culture isolated from a long-history atrazine soil, and identified as Alcaligenes sp. strain AZUHUB-A31-CH52 ND4 based on the 16S rRNA sequence. After 35-day bioremediation, the sterile soil inoculated with Alcaligenes sp. and amended with biochar or poultry manure improved atrazine removal efficiency (98–99%) while the soil containing only atrazine degraders resulted in the lowest atrazine removal (78%). The atrazine degradation kinetics in the amended and unamended soils adequately fit the double first-order in parallel (DFOP) model given the goodness of fit parameters (high r2 (0.9703–0.9997) and low AICc (−106.30 to −28.92) values. The DFOP model also predicted that DT50 (half-life) in all treatments was < 1 day (0.03–0.13 day) at a fast dissipation rate k1 (5.422–20). The DT90 (90% atrazine removal) estimated by DFOP ranged between 23–94 days. The results demonstrated that low-cost bio-waste could offer a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for the reclamation of soils contaminated with atrazine.

description: Small-angle scattering (SAS) intensities observed experimentally are often characterized by the presence of successive power-law regimes with various scattering exponents whose values vary from -4 to -1. This usually indicates multiple fractal structures of the sample characterized by different size scales. The existing models explaining the crossover positions (that is, the points where the power-law scattering exponent changes) involve only one contrast parameter, which depends solely on the ratio of the fractal sizes. Here, a model that describes SAS from a multi-phase system with a few contrast parameters is described, and it is shown that the crossover position depends on the scattering length density of each phase. The Stuhrmann contrast variation method is generalized and applied to experimental curves in the vicinity of the crossover point beyond the Guinier region. The contrast variation is applied not to the intensity itself but to the model parameters, which can be found by fitting the experimental data with the suggested interpolation formula. The model supplements the existing two-phase models and gives the simple condition of their inapplicability: if the crossover point depends on the contrast then a two-phase model is not relevant. The developed analysis allows one to answer the qualitative question of whether one fractal `absorbs' another one or they are both immersed in a surrounding homogeneous medium like a solvent or solid matrix. The models can be applied to experimental SAS data where the absolute value of the scattering exponent of the first power-law regime is higher than that of the subsequent second power-law regime, that is, the scattering curve is `convex' near the crossover point. As is shown, the crossover position can be very sensitive to contrast variation, which influences significantly the length of the fractal range.

description:  

This deliverable describes the functionality and availability of the FABM Offline Simulator (fabmos) software package developed within NECCTON. This package provides a set of new biogeochemical/ecological model testbeds for the NECCTON interlinked modelling framework. The testbeds improve upon existing ones (box models, water column models) by better representing spatial variability and the impact of horizontal transport on biogeochemical/ecological variables. At the same time, the new testbeds maintain good computational performance, enabling a model year to be simulated in minutes to one hour on a single workstation. An example is included to demonstrate how an efficient testbed for an existing Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS) Monitoring and Forecasting Centre (MFC) domain can be set up. We envisage the new fabmos package to be particularly useful for the development and parameterisation of new process descriptions within NECCTON.

description: The calculus of variations is employed to find steady divergence-free velocity fields that maximize transport of a tracer between two parallel walls held at fixed concentration for one of two constraints on flow strength: a fixed value of the kinetic energy or a fixed value of the enstrophy. The optimizing flows consist of an array of (convection) cells of a particular aspect ratio Gamma. We solve the nonlinear Euler-Lagrange equations analytically for weak flows and numerically (and via matched asymptotic analysis in the fixed energy case) for strong flows. We report the results in terms of the Nusselt number Nu, a dimensionless measure of the tracer transport, as a function of the Peclet number Pe, a dimensionless measure of the energy or enstrophy of the flow. For both constraints the maximum transport Nu_{MAX}(Pe) is realized in cells of decreasing aspect ratio Gamma_{opt}(Pe) as Pe increases. For the fixed energy problem, Nu_{MAX} \sim Pe and Gamma_{opt} \sim Pe^{-1/2}, while for the fixed enstrophy scenario, Nu_{MAX} \sim Pe^{10/17} and Gamma_{opt} \sim Pe^{-0.36}. We also interpret our results in the context of certain buoyancy-driven Rayleigh-Benard convection problems that satisfy one of the two intensity constraints, enabling us to investigate how the transport scalings compare with upper bounds on Nu expressed as a function of the Rayleigh number \Ra. For steady convection in porous media, corresponding to the fixed energy problem, we find Nu_{MAX} \sim \Ra and Gamma_{opt} \sim Ra^{-1/2}$, while for steady convection in a pure fluid layer between free-slip isothermal walls, corresponding to fixed enstrophy transport, Nu_{MAX} \sim Ra^{5/12} and Gamma_{opt} \sim Ra^{-1/4}.

description: We investigate a hierarchy of eddy-viscosity terms in POD Galerkin models to account for a large fraction of unresolved fluctuation energy. These Galerkin methods are applied to Large Eddy Simulation data for a flow around the vehicle-like bluff body call Ahmed body. This flow has three challenges for any reduced-order model: a high Reynolds number, coherent structures with broadband frequency dynamics, and meta-stable asymmetric base flow states. The Galerkin models are found to be most accurate with modal eddy viscosities as proposed by Rempfer & Fasel (1994). Robustness of the model solution with respect to initial conditions, eddy viscosity values and model order is only achieved for state-dependent eddy viscosities as proposed by Noack, Morzynski & Tadmor (2011). Only the POD system with state-dependent modal eddy viscosities can address all challenges of the flow characteristics. All parameters are analytically derived from the Navier-Stokes based balance equations with the available data. We arrive at simple general guidelines for robust and accurate POD models which can be expected to hold for a large class of turbulent flows.

description: This article reviews the unconventional effects of random disorder on magnetic quantum phase transitions, focusing on a number of new experimental and theoretical developments during the last three years. On the theory side, we address smeared quantum phase transitions tuned by changing the chemical composition, for example in alloys of the type A$_{1-x}$B$_x$. We also discuss how the interplay of order parameter conservation and overdamped dynamics leads to enhanced quantum Griffiths singularities in disordered metallic ferromagnets. Finally, we discuss a semiclassical theory of transport properties in quantum Griffiths phases. Experimental examples include the ruthenates Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$RuO$_3$ and (Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$)$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ as well as Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$)$_2$As$_2$.

description: We discuss the DC conductivity of holographic theories with translational invariance broken by a background lattice. We show that the presence of the lattice induces an effective mass for the graviton via a gravitational version of the Higgs mechanism. This allows us to obtain, at leading order in the lattice strength, an analytic expression for the DC conductivity in terms of the size of the lattice at the horizon. In locally critical theories this leads to a power law resistivity that is in agreement with an earlier field theory analysis of Hartnoll and Hofman.

description: Existing techniques to reconstruct tree models of progression for accumulative processes, such as cancer, seek to estimate causation by combining correlation and a frequentist notion of temporal priority. In this paper, we define a novel theoretical framework called CAPRESE (CAncer PRogression Extraction with Single Edges) to reconstruct such models based on the notion of probabilistic causation defined by Suppes. We consider a general reconstruction setting complicated by the presence of noise in the data due to biological variation, as well as experimental or measurement errors. To improve tolerance to noise we define and use a shrinkage-like estimator. We prove the correctness of our algorithm by showing asymptotic convergence to the correct tree under mild constraints on the level of noise. Moreover, on synthetic data, we show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art, that it is efficient even with a relatively small number of samples and that its performance quickly converges to its asymptote as the number of samples increases. For real cancer datasets obtained with different technologies, we highlight biologically significant differences in the progressions inferred with respect to other competing techniques and we also show how to validate conjectured biological relations with progression models.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of quantitatively evaluating explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques for remote sensing image classification. Our approach leverages state-of-the-art machine learning approaches to perform remote sensing image classification across multiple modalities. We investigate the results of the models qualitatively through XAI methods. Additionally, we compare the XAI methods quantitatively through various categories of desired properties. Through our analysis, we offer insights and recommendations for selecting the most appropriate XAI method(s) to gain a deeper understanding of the models' decision-making processes.

description: We derive bounds on squark and slepton masses in mini-split supersymmetry scenario using low energy experiments. In this setup gauginos are at the TeV scale, while sfermions are heavier by a loop factor. We cover the most sensitive low energy probes including electric dipole moments (EDMs), meson oscillations and charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) transitions. A leading log resummation of the large logs of gluino to sfermion mass ratio is performed. A sensitivity to PeV squark masses is obtained at present from kaon mixing measurements. A number of observables, including neutron EDMs, mu->e transitions and charmed meson mixing, will start probing sfermion masses in the 100 TeV-1000 TeV range with the projected improvements in the experimental sensitivities. We also discuss the implications of our results for a variety of models that address the flavor hierarchy of quarks and leptons. We find that EDM searches will be a robust probe of models in which fermion masses are generated radiatively, while LFV searches remain sensitive to simple-texture based flavor models.

description: The integration of technology in education has become increasingly prevalent, influencing both teaching and learningprocesses. This paper examines the impact of texting in educational settings and explores the benefits of digital interactivetools and e-libraries as alternatives. Texting during class is identified as a significant distraction that negatively affectsstudents' concentration and academic performance, as evidenced by research highlighting its inverse relationship withacademic achievement. In contrast, digital interactive boards, such as interactive whiteboards, have been shown toenhance teaching effectiveness by promoting engagement and improving learning outcomes. Additionally, e-librariesoffer valuable resources that support student research and learning by providing convenient access to a wide array ofacademic materials. The findings suggest that educators should consider minimizing texting distractions and adoptinginteractive and digital tools to create a more focused and effective learning environment.

The vesicle evolution dynamics is governed by hydrodynamic and elastic forces. The elastic forces are due to local inextensibility of the vesicle membrane and resistance to bending. Numerically resolving vesicle flows poses several challenges. For example, we need to resolve moving interfaces, address stiffness due to bending, enforce the inextensibility constraint, and efficiently compute the (non-negligible) long-range hydrodynamic interactions. Our method is based on the work of {\em Rahimian, Veerapaneni, and Biros, "Dynamic simulation of locally inextensible vesicles suspended in an arbitrary two-dimensional domain, a boundary integral method", Journal of Computational Physics, 229 (18), 2010}. It is a boundary integral formulation of the Stokes equations coupled to the interface mass continuity and force balance. We extend the algorithms presented in that paper to increase the robustness of the method and enable simulations with concentrated suspensions. In particular, we propose a scheme in which both intra-vesicle and inter-vesicle interactions are treated semi-implicitly. In addition we use special integration for near-singular integrals and we introduce a spectrally accurate collision detection scheme. We test the proposed methodologies on both unconfined and confined flows for vesicles whose internal fluid may have a viscosity contrast with the bulk medium. Our experiments demonstrate the importance of treating both intra-vesicle and inter-vesicle interactions accurately.

description: The effects of noise on the dynamics of nonlinear systems is known to lead to many counter-intuitive behaviors. Using simple planar limit cycle oscillators, we show that the addition of moderate noise leads to qualitatively different dynamics. In particular, the system can appear bistable, rotate in the opposite direction of the deterministic limit cycle, or cease oscillating altogether. Utilizing standard techniques from stochastic calculus and recently developed stochastic phase reduction methods, we elucidate the mechanisms underlying the different dynamics and verify our analysis with the use of numerical simulations. Lastly, we show that similar bistable behavior is found when moderate noise is applied to the more biologically realistic FitzHugh-Nagumo model.

description: The existence of three generations of neutrinos(charged leptons/quarks) and their mass mixing are deep mysteries of our universe. Recently, Majorana's spirit returns in modern condensed matter physics -- in the context of topological Majorana zero modes in certain classes of topological superconductors(TSCs). In this paper, we attempt to investigate the topological nature of the neutrino by assuming that a relativistic Majorana fermion can be divided into four topological Majorana zero modes at cutoff energy scale, e.g. planck scale. We begin with an exactly solvable $1$D lattice model which realizes a $T^2=-1$ time reversal symmetry protected TSC, and show that a pair of topological Majorana zero modes can realize a $T^4=-1$ time reversal symmetry.Moreover, we find that a pair of topological Majorana zero modes can also realize a $P^4=-1$ parity symmetry and even a nontrivial $\overline C^4=-1$ charge conjugation symmetry. Next, we argue that the origin of three generations of neutrinos(charged leptons and quarks) can be naturally explained as three distinguishable ways of forming a pair of complex fermions(with opposite spin polarizations) out of four topological Majorana zero modes, characterized by the $T^4=-1$, $(TP)^4=-1$ and $(T \overline C)^4=-1$ fractionalized symmetries that each complex fermion carries at cutoff energy scale. Finally, we use a semiclassical approach to compute the neutrino mass mixing matrix at leading order(LO), e.g., in the absence of $CP$ violation correction. We obtain $θ_{12}=31.7^\circ, θ_{23}=45^\circ$ and $θ_{13}=0^\circ$(the golden ratio pattern), which is consistent with an $A_5$ flavor symmetry pattern. We further predict an exact mass ratio of the three mass eigenstates of neutrinos with $m_1/m_3=m_2/m_3=3/\sqrt{5}$ and an effective mass of neutrinoless double beta decay $m_{0νββ}=m_1/\sqrt{5}$.

description: Correlations that cannot be reproduced with local variables certify the generation of private randomness. Usually, the violation of a Bell inequality is used to quantify the amount of randomness produced. Here, we show how private randomness generated during a Bell test can be directly quantified from the observed correlations, without the need to process these data into an inequality. The frequency with which the different measurement settings are used during the Bell test can also be taken into account. This improved analysis turns out to be very relevant for Bell tests performed with a finite collection efficiency. In particular, applying our technique to the data of a recent experiment [Christensen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 130406 (2013)], we show that about twice as much randomness as previously reported can be potentially extracted from this setup.

description: Returning a system to a desired state under a force field involves a thermodynamic cost, i.e. work. This cost fluctuates for a small-scale system from one experimental realization to another. We introduce a general framework to determine the work distribution for returning a system facilitated by a confining potential with its minimum at the restart location. The general strategy, based on average over resetting pathways, constitutes a robust method to gain access to the statistical information of observables from resetting systems. We exploit paradigmatic setups, where explicit computations are attainable, to illustrate the theory. Numerical simulations validate our theoretical predictions. For some of these examples, a non-trivial behavior of the work fluctuations opens a door to optimization problems. Specifically, work fluctuations can be minimized by an appropriate tuning of the return rate.
Isotropization from Color Field Condensate in heavy ion collisions

description: The expanding fireball shortly after a heavy ion collision may be qualitatively described by a condensate of color fields or gluons which is analogous to Bose-Einstein-condensation for massive bosonic particles. This condensate is a transient non-equilibrium phenomenon and breaks Lorentz-boost symmetry. The dynamics of color field condensates involves collective excitations and is rather different from the perturbative scattering of gluons. In particular, it provides for an efficient mechanism to render the local pressure approximately isotropic after a short time of 0.2 fm/c. We suggest that an isotropic color field condensate may play a central role for a simple description of prethermalization and isotropization in the early stages of the collision.

description: We show the existence of physical superluminal modes and acausality in the Brans-Dicke type of extension of teleparallel gravity that includes F(T) gravity and teleparallel dark energy as special cases. We derive the characteristic hypersurface for the extra degrees of freedom in the theory, thereby showing that the time evolution is not unique and closed causal curves can appear. Furthermore, we present a concrete disastrous solution in Bianchi type I spacetime, in which the anisotropy in expansion can be any function of time, and thus anisotropy can emerge suddenly, a simple demonstration that the theory is physically problematic.

description: Suppose the ground field to be algebraically closed and of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. All Heisenberg Lie superalgebras consist of two super versions of the Heisenberg Lie algebras, $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ and $\frak{ba}_n$ with $m$ a nonnegative integer and $n$ a positive integer. The space of a "classical" Heisenberg Lie superalgebra $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ is the direct sum of a superspace with a non-degenerate anti-supersymmetric even bilinear form and a one-dimensional space of values of this form constituting the even center. The other super analog of the Heisenberg Lie algebra, $\frak{ba}_n$, is constructed by means of a non-degenerate anti-supersymmetric odd bilinear form with values in the one-dimensional odd center. In this paper, we study the cohomology of $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ and $\frak{ba}_n$ with coefficients in the trivial module by using the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequences relative to a suitable ideal. In characteristic zero case, for any Heisenberg Lie superalgebra, we determine completely the Betti numbers and associative superalgebra structure for their cohomology. In characteristic $p>3$ case, we determine the associative superalgebra structures for the divided power cohomology of $\frak{ba}_n$ and we also make an attempt to determine the cohomology of $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ by computing it in a low-dimensional case.

Kinetic freeze-out, particle spectra and harmonic flow coefficients from mode-by-mode hydrodynamics

description: The kinetic freeze-out for the hydrodynamical description of relativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed using a background-fluctuation splitting of the hydrodynamical fields. For a single event, the particle spectrum, or its logarithm, can be written as the sum of background part that is symmetric with respect to azimuthal rotations and longitudinal boosts and a part containing the contribution of fluctuations or deviations from the background. Using a complete orthonormal basis to characterize the initial state allows one to write the double differential harmonic flow coefficients determined by the two-particle correlation method as matrix expressions involving the initial fluid correlations. We discuss the use of these expressions for a mode-by-mode analysis of fluctuating initial conditions in heavy ion collisions.
