description: Quantum computational chemistry has emerged as an important application of quantum computing. Hybrid quantum-classical computing methods, such as variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE), have been designed as promising solutions to quantum chemistry problems, yet challenges due to theoretical complexity and experimental imperfections hinder progress in achieving reliable and accurate results. Experimental works for solving electronic structures are consequently still restricted to nonscalable (hardware efficient) or classically simulable (Hartree-Fock) ansatz, or limited to a few qubits with large errors. The experimental realisation of scalable and high-precision quantum chemistry simulation remains elusive. Here, we address the critical challenges {associated with} solving molecular electronic structures using noisy quantum processors. Our protocol presents significant improvements in the circuit depth and running time, key metrics for chemistry simulation. Through systematic hardware enhancements and the integration of error mitigation techniques, we push forward the limit of experimental quantum computational chemistry and successfully scale up the implementation of VQE with an optimised unitary coupled-cluster ansatz to 12 qubits. We produce high-precision results of the ground-state energy for molecules with error suppression by around two orders of magnitude. We achieve chemical accuracy for H$_2$ at all bond distances and LiH at small bond distances in the experiment, even beyond the two recent concurrent works. Our work demonstrates a feasible path towards a scalable solution to electronic structure calculation, validating the key technological features and identifying future challenges for this goal.

description: Nuclear saturation and the symmetry energy are key properties of low-energy nuclear physics that depend on fine details of the nuclear interaction. The equation-of-state around saturation is also an important anchor for extrapolations to higher densities and studies of neutron stars. Here we develop a unified statistical framework that uses realistic nuclear forces to link the theoretical modeling of finite nuclei and infinite nuclear matter. We construct fast and accurate emulators for nuclear-matter observables and employ an iterative history-matching approach to explore and reduce the enormous parameter domain of $Δ$-full chiral interactions. We perform rigorous uncertainty quantification and find that model calibration including \nuc{16}{O} observables gives saturation predictions that are more precise than those that only use few-body data.

description: We take up the investigation we left in the future-work stack in Giordano \textit{et al.} [``Fluid statics of a self-gravitational isothermal sphere of van der Waals' gas,'' Phys. Fluids \textbf{36}, 056127 (2024)], in which we pointed out the obvious necessity to inquire about the existence or absence of values of the characteristic numbers \itm{\alphay} and \itm{\betay} in correspondence to which the perfect-gas model's self gravitational effects, namely, upper boundedness of the gravitational number, spiraling behavior of peripheral density, oscillating behavior of central density, and the existence of multiple solutions corresponding to the same value of the gravitational number, appear also for the van der Waals' model. The development of our investigation brings to the conversion of our M$_{2}$ scheme based on a second-order differential equation into an equivalent system of two first-order differential equations that incorporates Milne's homology invariant variables. The converted scheme \fomt\ turns out to be much more efficacious than the M$_{2}$ scheme in terms of numerical calculations' easiness and richness of results. We use the perfect-gas model as benchmark to test the \fomt\ scheme; we re-derive familiar results and put them in a more general and rational perspective that paves the way to deal with the van der Waals' gas model. We introduce variable transformations that turn out to be the key to study (almost) analytically the monotonicity of the peripheral density with respect to variations of the gravitational number. The study brings to the proof that the gravitational number is not constrained by upper boundedness, the peripheral density does not spiral, and the central density does not oscillate for any couple of values assumed by the characteristic numbers $α$ and $β$; however, multiple solutions ...

description: Context: Timing of pulsar PSR J0337+1715 provides a unique opportunity to test the strong equivalence principle (SEP) with a strongly self-gravitating object. This is due to its unique situation in a triple stellar system with two white dwarfs. Aims: Our previous study suggested the presence of a strong low-frequency signal in the timing residuals. We set out to model it on a longer dataset in order to determine its nature and improve accuracy. Methods: Three models are considered: chromatic or achromatic red-noise, and a small planet in a hierarchical orbit with the triple stellar system. These models are implemented in our numerical timing model. We perform Bayesian inference of posterior distributions. Best fits are compared using information-theoretic criteria. Results: Chromatic red noise from dispersion-measure variations is ruled out. Achromatic red noise or a planet in keplerian orbit provide the best fits. If it is red noise then it appears exceptionally strong. Assuming the presence of a planet, we obtain a marginal detection of mutual interactions which allows us to constrain its mass to $\sim 0.5 M_{\rm Moon}$ as well as its inclination. The latter is intriguingly coincident with a Kozai resonance. We show that a longer observation span will ultimately lead to a clear signature of the planet model due to its mutual interactions with the triple system. We produce new limits on SEP violation: $|Δ| < 1.5\cdot 10^{-6}$ or $|Δ| < 2.3\cdot 10^{-6}$ at 95% confidence level under the planet or red-noise hypothesis, respectively. This model dependence emphasises the need for additional data and model selection. As a by-product, we estimate a rather low supernova kick velocity of $\sim 110-125 \rm km/s$, strengthening the idea that it is a necessary condition for the formation of pulsar triple systems.

description: The Wannier-Stark ladder (WSL) is a basic concept, supporting periodic oscillation, widely used in many areas of physics. In this paper, we investigate the formations of WSL in generalized systems, including strongly correlated and non-Hermitian systems. We present a theorem on the existence of WSL for a set of general systems that are translationally symmetric before the addition of a linear potential. For a non-Hermitian system, the WSL becomes complex but maintains a real energy level spacing. We illustrate the theorem using 1D extended Bose-Hubbard models with both real and imaginary hopping strengths. It is shown that the Bloch-Zener oscillations of correlated bosons are particularly remarkable under resonant conditions. Numerical simulations for cases with boson numbers $n=2$, $3$, and $4$ are presented. Analytical and numerical results for the time evolution of the $n$-boson-occupied initial state indicate that all evolved states exhibit quasi periodic oscillations, but with different profiles, depending on the Hermiticity and interaction strength.

description: Genus Scatopsciara Edwards, 1927 s. str.
Type species: Sciara quinquelineata Macquart, 1834: 149 (= Sciara vitripennis Meigen, 1818).
Literature: Tonnoir & Edwards (1927): 798 (as subgenus of Sciara Meigen); Frey (1948): 69–70; Tuomikoski (1960): 150–156; Menzel & Mohrig (2000): 480–508; Mohrig et al. (2013): 233–241.
Diagnosis. The genus is characterized by short palpus with or without sensory pit. Basal segment of palpus has two or more bristles (in small species sometimes one bristle only). Wings are mostly short and wide with a very short R1 (rarely seen in other genera like small species of Bradysia) and bare posterior veins. Scutum has short bristles. Scutellum has two longer marginal bristles. Tip of fore tibiae possesses a small comb of specialized bristles (tibial organ) like in Bradysia, but in most species it is much smaller and sometimes on a process like small lobe. Middle and hind tibiae possess distinct unequal spurs. One of two spurs is strongly reduced or absent in many species of Scatopsciara s. str .. In species of the subgenus Xenopygina Frey (1948) length of tibial spurs on middle and hind tibiae differs less which may sometimes lead to a misidentification of species belonging to other genera (especially species of Bradysia or Corynoptera). Claws are toothless. Gonostylus has an apical tooth (subgenus Scatopsciara Edwards) or apical/subapical spines only (subgenus Xenopygina Frey).

description: Motivated by the increasing need to hedge against load and generation uncertainty in the operation of power grids, we propose flexibility maximization during operation.
 We consider flexibility explicitly as the amount of uncertainty that can be handled while still ensuring nominal grid operation in the worst-case. We apply the proposed flexibility optimization in the context of a DC flow approximation. By using a corresponding parameterization, we can find the maximal range of uncertainty and a range for the manageable power transfer between two parts of a network subject to uncertainty.
 We formulate the corresponding optimization problem as an (existence-constrained) semi-infinite optimization problem and specialize an existing algorithm for its solution.

description: Il volume raccoglie i contributi del convegno internazionale Beyond the Last ‘Post-’. Il turismo e le sfide della contemporaneità, tenutosi a Roma il 20 e il 21 giugno 2023. Le due giornate – collocate all’interno delle attività di ricerca portate avanti dallo Spoke-9 Cultural Resources for Sustainable Tourism (CREST), progetto PNRR Changes PE5 (capofila Università Ca’ Foscari) – sono nate dalla necessità di un confronto sui nuovi scenari del turismo. Negli ultimi decenni, infatti, la promozione del territorio e la fruizione del patrimonio sono state sempre più legate a una serie di ‘post-’; dal post-modernismo al post-colonialismo, senza contare le questioni aperte sul fronte del turismo post-Covid.

In tale ottica, il convegno ha voluto rappresentare un momento di confronto e riflessione attorno ad alcuni ‘post’ che riguardano il rapporto tra turismo e spazio, ponendo al centro del dibattito temi legati alla promozione di un turismo culturale di rinnovata qualità, etico e consapevole, capace di scardinare la visione univoca e talvolta stereotipata di una destinazione, conferendo maggiore visibilità a forme più sostenibili di turismo. In tale ottica, i contributi presenti nel volume riflettono su pratiche virtuose di fare turismo e su iniziative mirate a promuovere forme di turismo culturale innovativo, con lo sguardo rivolto anche alle nuove tecnologie e alla promozione digitale della destinazione, attraverso indagini di tipo semiotico e linguistico. Fare e promuovere un turismo di qualità implica una riscoperta dei luoghi, recuperandone una memoria passata inesorabilmente intrecciata alle “nuove memorie”, figlie dell’epoca contemporanea. Il rapporto dinamico tra passato e presente, l’opportunità di fruire lo spazio interpretandolo secondo punti di vista un tempo sommersi, la ri-definizione della relazione tra turisti e autoctoni aprano le porte a un diverso sistema di concepire il movimento nel mondo e i suoi significati.

description: Recent advancements in language models have started a new era of superior information retrieval and content generation, with embedding models playing an important role in optimizing data representation efficiency and performance. While benchmarks like the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) have standardized the evaluation of general domain embedding models, a gap remains in specialized fields such as chemistry, which require tailored approaches due to domain-specific challenges. This paper introduces a novel benchmark, the Chemical Text Embedding Benchmark (ChemTEB), designed specifically for the chemical sciences. ChemTEB addresses the unique linguistic and semantic complexities of chemical literature and data, offering a comprehensive suite of tasks on chemical domain data. Through the evaluation of 34 open-source and proprietary models using this benchmark, we illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of current methodologies in processing and understanding chemical information. Our work aims to equip the research community with a standardized, domain-specific evaluation framework, promoting the development of more precise and efficient NLP models for chemistry-related applications. Furthermore, it provides insights into the performance of generic models in a domain-specific context. ChemTEB comes with open-source code and data, contributing further to its accessibility and utility.

description: Causality is essential in informing science and policy. In the present study, we investigate the current state of research regarding causality in the field of servant (and authentic) leadership and provide recommendations on how causally identified studies can be conducted. After explaining the methodological problems that potentially prevent causal inferences (i.e., endogeneity bias and issues in experimental design), we provide two systematic literature reviews of servant and authentic leadership showing that these problems remain very prevalent. We then discuss two solutions on how causal effects of servant leadership or perceptions thereof can be established: randomized experiments and instrumental variable regression. To illustrate our recommendations, we report an experiment on the effect of a combination of two servant leadership dimensions (i.e., stewardship and authenticity) on follower performance and also investigate the effect of combined stewardship and authenticity perceptions using instrumental variable regression. The results do not indicate that combined stewardship and authenticity behavior or perceptions affect follower performance. Our study can serve as a roadmap, especially for servant leadership researchers, to address potential endogeneity and conduct causally identified research.

description: Genre-based approaches to language learning and teaching has recently come to the fore as an illuminating window to the pedagogical practices in education and a reminder of sociallybased function of language and also as a lending tenet to interactional competence. Contrastive genre analysis is a new developing apparatus of investigation into cross-cultural norms and conventions of discourse. This paper sought to probe into the generic structures of Persian and English death notices published in the Press. For this purpose, 30 samples of death notices in Persian and English gleaned from online newspapers were paralleled against each other. It was found out that in some general and specific domains, there are discrepancies and similarities between Persian and English death announcements while the English obituaries are entirely different. This study contributes to distinctive socio-cultural features of both languages and consolidates culture as a cinderella term in language learning skills.
