https://zoobank.org/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 4972A123-13BF-4EEF-ABA4-EB8018FFB0AF
 Diagnosis — The valvatoid shell is conical with a nearly circular aperture. The lower lip is sinuated from umbilical view. The umbilicus is open. The flat penis is elongated triangular, tapered at the distal end without any bulge.
 Type species — Ohridonaumia trajanovski n. sp.
 Etymolgy — The name is a combination of the Lake Ohrid and the name of the Monastery of St. Naum in whose vicinity the new genus was discovered.
 Differential diagnosis — The family Hydrobiidae in Ohrid Lake includes 27 endemic species, belonging to the nominal genera Dolapia, Gocea, Lyhnidia, Ohrigocea, Ohridohauffenia, Ohridohoratia, Polinskiola, Pseudohoratia, Strugia, and Zaumia (Radoman, 1983). The new species resemble Ohridohoratia Hadžišče, 1956. The species of the latter genus differs in having elongated conical shells and the shape of the penis with a slight bulge on the left side. The new genus has valvatoid conical shell more than 2 mm in height, and a simple penis without any outgrowth or bulge. Ohridohauffenia Hadžišče, 1956, differs in shape of shells (depressed valvatoid shell up to 1.5 mm in height) and the penis with a weak outgrowth on the left side.
 Lyhnidia gjorgjevici Hadžišče, 1956, a species described from a small lake near the monastery of St. Naum, resembles new species in having a long and slender, colourless penis without a lobe, but differs in its smaller dimensions and strongly curved outer lip. Zaumia sanctizaumi (Radoman, 1964) has a cylindrical penis and is smaller than Ohridonaumia n. gen.
 The morphological and anatomical differences led us to the opinion that the new species is rather distinct from all other hydrobiid species from Lake Ohrid, therefore we created a new monotypic genus Ohridonaumia n. gen.

description: High-quality, distributed quantum entanglement is the distinctive resource for quantum communication and forms the foundation for the unequalled level of security that can be assured in quantum key distribution. While the entanglement provider does not need to be trusted, the secure key rate drops to zero if the entanglement used is too noisy. In this paper, we show experimentally that QPA is able to increase the secure key rate achievable with QKD by improving the quality of distributed entanglement, thus increasing the quantum advantage in QKD. Beyond that, we show that QPA enables key generation at noise levels that previously prevented key generation. These remarkable results were only made possible by the efficient implementation exploiting hyperentanglement in the polarisation and energy-time degrees of freedom. We provide a detailed characterisation of the gain in secure key rate achieved in our proof-of-principle experiment at different noise levels. The results are paramount for the implementation of a global quantum network linking quantum processors and ensuring future-proof data security.

description: Motivated by conjectures about near-horizon dynamics in quantum gravity, we search for lines of perturbatively accessible fixed points emanating from models of $N$ free fermions. Through two loops we find a new class of models, apart from the well-known Abelian Thirring models. Further study is needed to see whether these can lead to true conformal manifolds, or perhaps a new class of large N fixed points.

description: Young double-slit experiments using monochromatic hard X-rays with the energy of 25 keV are presented. The experiments were performed at a synchrotron source with a distance of 110 m between the interferometer and the detector to produce an interference pattern with a sufficiently broad period that could be adequately sampled by a photon-counting detector with 75 micrometre pixels. In the single-particle version of the experiment, over one million image frames with a single registered photon in each one were collected. The sum of these frames showed a clear presence of the interference pattern with the expected period. Subsequent analysis provided an objective estimation of the minimal number of detected photons required to determine, in accordance with the Rose criterion, the presence of the photon interference. Apart from a general theoretical interest, these investigations were aimed at exploring the possibility of medical X-ray phase-contrast imaging in photon-counting mode at minimal radiation doses.

description: We calculated the spectral properties of two related families of non-Hermitian free-particle quantum chains with $N$-multispin interactions ($N=2,3,\ldots$). The first family have a $Z(N)$ symmetry and are described by free parafermions. The second one has a $U(1)$ symmetry and are generalizations of $XX$ quantum chains described by free fermions. The eigenspectra of both free-particle families are formed by the combination of the same pseudo-energies. The models have a multicritical point with dynamical critical exponent $z=1$. The finite-size behavior of their eigenspectra, as well as the entanglement properties of their ground state wave function, indicate the models are conformally invariant. The models with open and periodic boundary conditions show quite distinct physics due to their non-Hermiticity. The models defined with open boundaries have a single conformal invariant phase while the $XX$ multispin models show multiple phases with distinct conformal central charges in the periodic case. The critical exponents of the models are calculated for $N=3,4,5$ and $6$.

A search for top-squark pair production, in final states containing a top quark, a charm quark and missing transverse momentum, using the 139 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected by the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents a search for top-squark pair production in final states with a top quark, a charm quark and missing transverse momentum. The data were collected with the ATLAS detector during LHC Run 2 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. The analysis is motivated by an extended Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model featuring a non-minimal flavour violation in the second- and third-generation squark sector. The top squark in this model has two possible decay modes, either $\tilde{t}_1 \rightarrow c\tildeχ_1^0$ or $\tilde{t}_1\rightarrow t\tildeχ_1^0$, where the $\tildeχ_1^0$ is undetected. The analysis is optimised assuming that both of the decay modes are equally probable, leading to the most likely final state of $tc + E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$. Good agreement is found between the Standard Model expectation and the data in the search regions. Exclusion limits at 95% CL are obtained in the $m(\tilde{t}_1)$ vs $m(\tildeχ_1^0)$ plane and, in addition, limits on the branching ratio of the $\tilde{t}_1\rightarrow t\tildeχ_1^0$ decay as a function of $m(\tilde{t}_1)$ are also produced. Top-squark masses of up to 800 GeV are excluded for scenarios with light neutralinos, and top-squark masses up to 600 GeV are excluded in scenarios where the neutralino and the top squark are almost mass degenerate.

The Australian Telecommunications Access Regime - ten years on
Creators: name: Chavan, Meena

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: When open competition was introduced through the Telecommunications Act 1997 (Cth), Part XIB - The Telecommunications Industry: Anti-Competitive Conduct and Record-Keeping rules and Part XIC - Telecommunications Access Regime were added to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) to underpin open competition. In moving from the former Government owned monopoly providers to open competition, new competitors to the former monopolist Telecom (now Telstra) had to be able to interconnect to Telstra's infrastructure to be able to provide competing services. The Government's aim was that, in the first instance, interconnection arrangements would be commercially negotiated. Failing successful negotiations, however, the Access Regime provided that the bottleneck facilities could be 'declared'. Once a service is 'declared', the provider of the declared service has specific obligations to provide interconnection on specified terms, with the possibility that the ACCC can arbitrate disputes on access to 'declared' services. Ten years later, the effectiveness of the Access Regime is being questioned, by the competition regulator, by Telstra and by Telstra's competitors. The purpose of this paper is to review the effectiveness of the Access Regime and consider whether it can be further amended to improve its effectiveness (there have been significant amendments to the Access Regime in 1999, 2002 and 2005) or whether other measures to ensure a competitive environment in telecommunications should be considered. The research for this paper has been an examination of written material, including significant reports on competition in telecommunications by the Productivity Commission and by ACCC reports on competition in the industry. It has also examined the many ACCC inquiries into Access Regime issues, submissions to those inquiries and public statements made by industry participants.

description: Our research investigates vibrotactile perception in four prosthetic hands with distinct kinematics and mechanical characteristics. We found that rigid and simple socket-based prosthetic devices can transmit tactile information and surprisingly enable users to identify the stimulated finger with high reliability. This ability decreases with more advanced prosthetic hands with additional articulations and softer mechanics. We conducted experiments to understand the underlying mechanisms. We assessed a prosthetic user's ability to discriminate finger contacts based on vibrations transmitted through the four prosthetic hands. We also performed numerical and mechanical vibration tests on the prostheses and used a machine learning classifier to identify the contacted finger. Our results show that simpler and rigid prosthetic hands facilitate contact discrimination (for instance, a user of a purely cosmetic hand can distinguish a contact on the index finger from other fingers with 83% accuracy), but all tested hands, including soft advanced ones, performed above chance level. Despite advanced hands reducing vibration transmission, a machine learning algorithm still exceeded human performance in discriminating finger contacts. These findings suggest the potential for enhancing vibrotactile feedback in advanced prosthetic hands and lay the groundwork for future integration of such feedback in prosthetic devices.

description: When a quantum particle moves in a curved space, a geometric potential can arise. In spite of a long history of extensive theoretical studies, to experimentally observe the geometric potential remains to be a challenge. What are the physically observable consequences of such a geometric potential? Solving the Schrodinger equation on a truncated conic surface, we uncover a class of quantum scattering states that bear a strong resemblance with the quasi-resonant states associated with atomic collapse about a Coulomb impurity, a remarkable quantum phenomenon in which an infinite number of quasi-resonant states emerge. A characteristic defining feature of such collapse states is the infinite oscillations of the local density of states (LDOS) about the zero energy point separating the scattering from the bound states. The emergence of such states in the curved (Riemannian) space requires neither a relativistic quantum mechanism nor any Coulomb impurity: they have zero angular momentum and their origin is purely geometrical - henceforth the term geometry-induced wavefunction collapse. We establish the collapsing nature of these states through a detailed comparative analysis of the behavior of the LDOS for both the zero and finite angular-momentum states as well as the corresponding classical picture. Potential experimental schemes to realize the geometry-induced collapse states are articulated. Not only has our study uncovered an intrinsic connection between the geometric potential and atomic collapse, it also provides a method to experimentally observe and characterize geometric potentials arising from different subfields of physics. For example, in nanoscience and nanotechnology, curved geometry has become increasingly common. Our finding suggests that wavefunction collapse should be an important factor of consideration in designing and developing nanodevices.

description: This article highlights the perceptions and expectations of knowledge that many people, including educators and policy makers, take for granted. Our focus of understanding is Indigenous studies and gender studies. Our aim is to show how modern education undermines these fields of studies. We use an autoethnographic method, reflecting more than 75 years as pupils/students and more than 90 years as educators. We have carefully chosen narratives of exposure to knowledge outside the educational system, as well as narratives of limitations posed upon us by the educational system. This narrative approach makes it possible for us to investigate and discuss our grief about areas of knowledge that society cries for, but the educational system continuously finds ways to resist. Our conclusion is that crucial knowledge is located outside the educational system, where individuals, groups, and communities cherish, protect, and guard knowledge that the educational system marginalises or excludes. As this knowledge is fundamental for life, our message is that the educational system needs to re-evaluate its strategies to stay relevant.

description: When a static electrical field is applied to a two-dimensional (2D) Dirac material, Landau-Zener transition (LZT) and Bloch-Zener oscillations can occur. Employing alpha-T3 lattices as a paradigm for a broad class of 2D Dirac materials, we uncover two phenomena. First, due to the arbitrarily small energy gaps near a Dirac point that make it more likely for LZTs to occur than in other regions of the Brillouin zone, the distribution of differential LZT probability in the momentum space can form a complicated morphological pattern. Second, a change in the LZT morphology as induced by a mutual switching of the two distinct Dirac points can lead to irregular Bloch-Zener oscillations characterized by a non-smooth behavior in the time evolution of the electrical current density associated with the oscillation. These phenomena are due to mixed interference of quantum states in multiple bands modulated by the geometric and dynamic phases. We demonstrate that the adiabatic-impulse model describing Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg interferometry can be exploited to calculate the phases, due to the equivalence between the alpha-T3 lattice subject to a constant electrical field and strongly periodically driven two- or three-level systems. The degree of irregularity of Bloch-Zener oscillations can be harnessed by selecting the morphology pattern, which is potentially experimentally realizable.

description: The phenomenon of spin-dependent quantum scattering in two-dimensional (2D) pseudospin-1/2 Dirac materials leading to a relativistic quantum chimera was recently uncovered. We investigate spin-dependent Dirac electron optics in 2D pseudospin-1 Dirac materials, where the energy-band structure consists of a pair of Dirac cones and a flat band. In particular, with a suitable combination of external electric fields and a magnetic exchange field, electrons with a specific spin orientation (e.g., spin-down) can be trapped in a class of long-lived edge modes, generating resonant scattering. The spin-dependent edge states are a unique feature of flat-band Dirac materials and have no classical correspondence. However, electrons with the opposite spin (i.e., spin up) undergo conventional quantum scattering with a classical correspondence, which can be understood in the framework of Dirac electron optics. A consequence is that the spin-down electrons produce a large scattering probability with broad scattering angle distribution in both near- and far-field regions, while the spin-up electrons display the opposite behavior. Such characteristically different behaviors of the electrons with opposite spins lead to spin polarization that can be as high as nearly 100%.

description: Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has allowed for the manufacture of complex components using a wide variety of alloys. However, there are many variables in the process which can influence the performance of printed parts. These printing parameters generally need to be refined to limit defects such as porosity. However, they also influence the microstructure and texture of the printed parts, and thus there is an opportunity to control these features through careful parameter selection. The microstructure and texture will affect the mechanical properties of printed parts, so parameter selection can also be used to influence mechanical performance.Furthermore, post-printing operations, such as heat treatments, can also change the microstructure, and thus influence the part properties. For precipitation-strengthened alloys such as Haynes 282 (H282), heat treatment after printing is generally needed. This means that along with understanding how the printing parameters affect the as-printed microstructure of the parts, it is also important to understand how the microstructure can change under different heat treatment conditions. In this work, H282 is printed with varying process parameters and subjected to different post-printing heat treatments. Variations in the microstructure and texture resulting from the varied processing conditions are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) backscatter electron (BSE) imaging, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Mechanical properties of the printed H282 are also studied through tensile and creep testing. Combined, the results of this work allow for a greater understanding of the process-structure-property relationships for LPBF-manufactured H282.
Local correlations necessitate waterfalls as a connection between quasiparticle band and developing Hubbard bands

description: Waterfalls are anomalies in the angle-resolved photoemission spectrum where the energy-momentum dispersion is almost vertical, and the spectrum strongly smeared out. These anomalies are observed at relatively high energies, among others, in superconducting cuprates and nickelates. The prevalent understanding is that they originate from the coupling to some boson, with spin fluctuations and phonons being the usual suspects. Here, we show that waterfalls occur naturally in the process where a Hubbard band develops and splits off from the quasiparticle band. Our results for the Hubbard model with $\textit{ab initio}$ determined parameters well agree with waterfalls in cuprates and nickelates, providing a natural explanation for these spectral anomalies observed in correlated materials.

description: AI is frequently portrayed as a powerful tool to combat climate change and foster sustainability. But how realistic is this vision? This blog article delves into the ongoing debate, examining how AI is framed as both a force for positive change and a technology with significant environmental costs. In Germany, the conversation increasingly shifts—from early excitement over AI’s potential in agriculture and mobility, to growing concerns about its ecological footprint. Can AI truly be part of the solution, or is it ultimately contributing to the very problems it aims to solve?

Our experimental results show that, iteratively, i) pseudo-annotating data using a multilingual BERT-based parsing model, ii) manually correcting the pseudo-annotations, and iii) fine-tuning the parsing model with the corrected annotations, we speed up and simplify the challenging dependency annotation process. The resulting treebank, that will be a part of the Universal Dependencies (UD) project, will facilitate automated analysis of Ottoman Turkish documents, unlocking the linguistic richness embedded in this historical heritage.

description: Optimal Transport (OT) has fueled machine learning (ML) across many domains. When paired data measurements $(\boldsymbolμ, \boldsymbolν)$ are coupled to covariates, a challenging conditional distribution learning setting arises. Existing approaches for learning a $\textit{global}$ transport map parameterized through a potentially unseen context utilize Neural OT and largely rely on Brenier's theorem. Here, we propose a first-of-its-kind quantum computing formulation for amortized optimization of contextualized transportation plans. We exploit a direct link between doubly stochastic matrices and unitary operators thus unravelling a natural connection between OT and quantum computation. We verify our method (QontOT) on synthetic and real data by predicting variations in cell type distributions conditioned on drug dosage. Importantly we conduct a 24-qubit hardware experiment on a task challenging for classical computers and report a performance that cannot be matched with our classical neural OT approach. In sum, this is a first step toward learning to predict contextualized transportation plans through quantum computing.

description: Experimentally feasible methods to determine the Berry phase, a fundamental quantity characterizing a quantum material, are often needed in applications. We develop an approach to detecting the Berry phase by using a class of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials with a flat band, the $α$-$\mathcal{T}_3$ lattices. The properties of this class of quantum materials are controlled by a single parameter $0 \le α\le 1$, where the left and right endpoints correspond to graphene with pseudospin-1/2 and the dice lattice with pseudospin-1 Dirac-Weyl quasiparticles, respectively, and each specific value of $α$ represents a material with a unique Berry phase. Applying a constant electric field to the $α$-$\mathcal{T}_3$ lattice, we calculate the resulting electric current and find a one-to-one correspondence between the current and the Berry phase in both the linear and nonlinear response regimes. In the linear (Kubo) regime, the main physics is the Zitterbewegung effect. In the nonlinear regime, the Schwinger mechanism dominates. Beyond the nonlinear regime, Bloch-Zener oscillations can arise. Measuring the current thus provides an effective and experimentally feasible way to determine the Berry phase for this spectrum of 2D quantum materials.

description: Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and burdensome condition that leads to impaired quality of life and a substantial economic burden. Encouraging physical activity, particularly walking, is crucial for OA management, but many individuals with hip OA fail to meet recommended activity levels. Prefabricated contoured foot orthoses have shown promise in improving hip muscle efficiency during walking in laboratory settings, but their real-world feasibility and efficacy remain uncertain. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of conducting a fully powered randomised controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effectiveness of prefabricated contoured foot orthoses, prescribed via telehealth, in people with hip OA. Methods: This feasibility trial randomised 27 participants with hip OA into two groups: prefabricated contoured foot orthoses or flat shoe inserts. Feasibility outcomes were assessed, including recruitment rate, adherence, logbook completion, and dropout rate. Patient-reported outcomes and accelerometer-measured physical activity were collected as secondary outcomes. Results: While the recruitment rate was low (0.88 people/week), adherence to the intervention (59%), logbook completion (93%), and dropout rates (7%) met or exceeded our predefined feasibility parameters. Participants found the intervention acceptable, and practicality was demonstrated with minor adverse events. Preliminary efficacy testing indicated that prefabricated contoured foot orthoses positively affected physical activity (adjusted mean difference = 2590 [260 to 4920] steps/day), with comparable outcomes for hip-related quality of life and pain. Conclusion: This trial supports proceeding to a fully powered RCT to assess the effect of teleheath prescribed prefabricated contoured foot orthoses on physical activity in people with hip OA.

description: The use of the combination of ultrafine rice husk ash (RHA) and nano silica (NS) enhances the compactness of hardened concrete, but there is still a lack of studies that address the effects of NS and RHA on the workability, mechanical properties and pore microstructure of concrete. This study mainly aims to investigate the influence of the pore size distribution in multiphysics concrete model modified by NS and RHA and to determine the workability and mechanical properties of concrete with NS and RHA. In this work, NS and RHA were used as 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% replacements of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in concrete grade M20. Concrete mixed with NS and RHA showed improved performance for up to 10% addition of NS and RHA. Further addition of NS and RHA showed a decrease in performance at 7, 14 and 28 days. The decrease in concrete porosity was also found to be up to 10% when adding NS and RHA to cement. Image processing was performed on the cement-based materials to describe the microstructure of the targeted material without damage. The results from the experimental and tomography images were utilized to investigate the concrete microstructure and predict its inner properties.

description: The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) held the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC07) from 22 October 2007. Deliberations were concluded on 16 November 2007 with the adoption of an international treaty to meet the global demand for radiofrequency spectrum that has been fuelled by rapid technological developments and growth in the communications industry. Australia's objective at WRC-07 was to promote the development of international world radiocommunication agreements that enhance efficient and coordinated access to spectrum and to increase Australia's ability to implement and use satellite and terrestrial systems. This paper outlines Australia's objectives and WRC-07 proposals, describes the WRC process and Australian preparatory activities, then summarises the outcomes.

description: We develop a causal inference approach to estimate the number of adverse health events that were prevented due to changes in exposure to multiple pollutants attributable to a large-scale air quality intervention/regulation, with a focus on the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA). We introduce a causal estimand called the Total Events Avoided (TEA) by the regulation, defined as the difference in the number of health events expected under the no-regulation pollution exposures and the number observed with-regulation. We propose matching and machine learning methods that leverage population-level pollution and health data to estimate the TEA. Our approach improves upon traditional methods for regulation health impact analyses by formalizing causal identifying assumptions, utilizing population-level data, minimizing parametric assumptions, and collectively analyzing multiple pollutants. To reduce model-dependence, our approach estimates cumulative health impacts in the subset of regions with projected no-regulation features lying within the support of the observed with-regulation data, thereby providing a conservative but data-driven assessment to complement traditional parametric approaches. We analyze the health impacts of the CAAA in the US Medicare population in the year 2000, and our estimates suggest that large numbers of cardiovascular and dementia-related hospitalizations were avoided due to CAAA-attributable changes in pollution exposure.
