description: In this work, we develop a rocky planet interior model and use it to investigate the evolution of catastrophically evaporating rocky exoplanets. These planets, detected through the dust tails produced by evaporative outflows from their molten surfaces, can be entirely destroyed in a fraction of their host star's lifetime. To allow for the major decrease in mass, our interior model can simultaneously calculate the evolution of the pressure and density structure of a planet alongside its thermal evolution, which includes the effects of conduction, convection and partial melting. We first use this model to show that the underlying planets are likely to be almost entirely solid. This means that the dusty tails are made up of material sampled only from a thin dayside lava pool. If one wishes to infer the bulk compositions of rocky exoplanets from their dust tails, it is important to take the localised origin of this material into account. Secondly, by considering how frequently one should be able to detect mass loss from these systems, we investigate the occurrence of sub-Earth mass exoplanets, which is difficult with conventional planet detection surveys. We predict that, depending on model assumptions, the number of progenitors of the catastrophically evaporating planets is either in line with, or higher than, the observed population of close-in (substellar temperatures around 2200 K) terrestrial exoplanets.

description: Background: Co-teaching supports learning by teachers with different experience backgrounds teach together. It is regarded as an effective teaching method that employs the knowledge and expertise of teachers in each specialization to promote greater learning in each process.

Summary of Work: This research is a cross-sectional study that used survey questionnaire at the end of reproductive system course for 2 groups medical students who learned by traditional teaching in prior year and co-teaching by multidisciplinary teacher in this year.

The objective is to compare the effectiveness of co-teaching by multidisciplinary teacher and traditional teaching by one teacher for preclinical medical students.

The questionnaire includes demographic data, effectiveness of using co-teaching and satisfaction of co-teaching strategy. Statistical analysis included percent, mean+ SD and independent t-test.

Summary of Results: There were 92 medical students enrolled (40 students in 2022 and 52 students in 2023). Co-teaching is more effective than traditional methods (p < 0.05). Students' confidence in their teacher's teaching methods, response to questions, and ability to facilitate learning (4.12±0.78, 3.73±0.85, p 0.025*). This teaching style enhances lesson comprehension (3.86±0.72, 3.28±0.55, p<0.05*). Teachers who co-teach the course have equal decision-making power in managing teaching and learning (3.81±0.82, 3.45±0.71, p = 0.031*). Continuous learning from basic science, anatomy, physiology, and clinical correlation improves understanding of the content (4.00±0.90, 3.55±0.81, p=0.016*). A multidisciplinary team of professors facilitates learning (4.00±0.90, 3.55±0.81, p=0.016*). Learning from lectures can be understood and applied (3.80±0.87, 3.05±0.81, p<0.05*).

Discussion and Conclusion: Students value co-teaching for integrating basic and clinical sciences, with no differences in teacher confidence, behavior, learning, or student confidence.

However, interactive co-teaching requires careful planning and collaboration among academic staff, as student perceptions of co-teaching were lower than traditional teaching in three areas: classroom management, teaching model, and teacher authority. Multidisciplinary staff with different areas of expertise in the same session should respect each other's time and accept their own limitations.

Take-home Message: Co-teaching with different expertise in the same session is more effective than traditional teaching, but it requires a significant time investment to prepare properly.

description: Mixed cold-hot dark matter cosmological models (CHDM) with $Ω_{tot}=1$, approximately flat initial spectrum of adiabatic perturbations and 1, 2 or 3 types of massive neutrinos are compared and tested using recent observational data. The models with 2 or 3 neutrino types of equal mass permit as the best fit larger values of both the Hubble constant ($H_0\le 60$ for 2 types, $H_0\le 65$ for 3 types) and the total $Ω_ν$ (up to 0.3 for 3 types) than the model with 1 massive type. Also, they have less problems with abundances of early compact objects including $Ly-α$ clouds.

description: The production of silicon monoxide (SiO) can be considered as a fingerprint of shock interaction. In this work, we use high-sensitivity observations of the SiO (2-1) and H$^{13}$CO$^{+}$ (1-0) emission to investigate the broad and narrow SiO emission toward 146 massive star-forming regions in the ATOMS survey. We detected SiO emission in 136 regions and distinguished broad and narrow components across the extension of 118 sources (including 58 UC $H_{II}$ regions) with an average angular resolution of 2.5$^{\prime}$$^{\prime}$. The derived SiO luminosity ($L_{SiO}$) across the whole sample shows that the majority of $L_{SiO}$ (above 66$\%$) can be attributed to broad SiO, indicating its association with strong outflows. The comparison of the ALMA SiO images with the filamentary skeletons identified from H$^{13}$CO$^{+}$ and in the infrared data (at 4.5, 8, and 24 $mu$m), further confirms that most SiO emission originates from outflows. However, note that for nine sources in our sample, the observed SiO emission may be generated by expanding UC $H_{II}$ regions. There is a moderate positive correlation between the bolometric luminosity ($L_{bol}$) and $L_{SiO}$ for both components (narrow and broad). The UC $H_{II}$ sources show a weaker positive correlation between $L_{bol}$ and $L_{SiO}$ and higher $L_{SiO}$ compared to the sources without UC $H_{II}$ regions. These results imply that the SiO emission from UC $H_{II}$ sources might be affected by UV-photochemistry induced by UC $H_{II}$ regions.

description: We are concerned with the direct and inverse scattering problems associated with a time-harmonic random Schrödinger equation with unknown source and potential terms. The well-posedness of the direct scattering problem is first established. Three uniqueness results are then obtained for the corresponding inverse problems in determining the variance of the source, the potential and the expectation of the source, respectively, by the associated far-field measurements. First, a single realization of the passive scattering measurement can uniquely recover the variance of the source without the a priori knowledge of the other unknowns. Second, if active scattering measurement can be further obtained, a single realization can uniquely recover the potential function without knowing the source. Finally, both the potential and the first two statistic moments of the random source can be uniquely recovered with full measurement data. The major novelty of our study is that on the one hand, both the random source and the potential are unknown, and on the other hand, both passive and active scattering measurements are used for the recovery in different scenarios.

description: We analyze the quantum resource generation of capacitively-coupled multilevel transmon circuits surrounded by bosonic baths, within the Markovian limit. In practice, the superconducting circuit elements are usually part of a larger circuit, constructed with many other linear circuit elements, which along with their environment is assumed to be mimicked by the baths. We study the response to variation of the coupling strength of resource generation for thee system prepared in zero-resource initial states. We focus, in particular, on entanglement and quantum coherence as resources. We quantify the entanglement generation power of coupled transmon qutrits, taking into account the maximum entanglement the system can generate and the time-scale over which the system can sustain a significant entanglement. We identify the optimal initial separable states leading to maximum entanglement generating power.

description: We extend the standard semiclassical theory of Excited-State Quantum Phase Transitions (ESQPTs), based on a classification of stationary points in the classical Hamiltonian, to constrained systems. We adopt the method of Lagrange multipliers to find all stationary points and their properties directly from the Hamiltonian constrained by an arbitrary number of integrals of motion, and demonstrate the procedure on an algebraic u(3) boson model with two independent constraints. We also elaborate the Holstein-Primakoff (HP) mapping, used to eliminate one degree of freedom in bosonic systems constrained by a conserved number of excitations, and address the fact that this mapping leads, in the classical limit, to a compact phase space with singular behaviour that conceals some stationary points at the phase space boundary. It is shown that the HP method reveals all ESQPTs only after constructing a complete atlas of different HP mappings.

description: In quantum optics, light-matter interaction has conventionally been studied using small atoms interacting with electromagnetic fields with wavelength several orders of magnitude larger than the atomic dimensions. In contrast, here we experimentally demonstrate the vastly different giant atom regime, where an artificial atom interacts with acoustic fields with wavelength several orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic dimensions. This is achieved by coupling a superconducting qubit to surface acoustic waves at two points with separation on the order of 100 wavelengths. This approach is comparable to controlling the radiation of an atom by attaching it to an antenna. The slow velocity of sound leads to a significant internal time-delay for the field to propagate across the giant atom, giving rise to non-Markovian dynamics. We demonstrate the non-Markovian character of the giant atom in the frequency spectrum as well as nonexponential relaxation in the time domain.

description: In response to the rapid advancements in modern technologies and evolving educational concepts, unconventional strategies for education are expanding. Game-based learning (GBL) has emerged as a compelling and innovative teaching approach in the current educational landscape.

A teaching hospital secured funding from the Ministry of Health and Welfare to establish a regional teaching platform specifically designed for wound care and enhance the skills of long-term care nurses in 2023. A total of 44 nurses from 22 institutions actively participated in two courses in June and October. The topics of modules included pressure injuries, turning and positioning, incontinence-associated dermatitis, intestinal stoma care, and tumor wound care. Each 32-hour session offered a comprehensive blend of learning modalities, encompassing classroom instruction, interactive group exercises, skill assessments, and hands-on clinical internships. The program emphasized gamification, featuring an innovative combination of circuit-style learning, wound clay sculpting, and a card game. Online assessments, facilitated through platforms like COSMOBUZZ and Blooket, were employed to evaluate learning outcomes. Furthermore, participants engaged in age-simulation activities by wearing devices that replicated the challenges faced by elderly individuals, fostering a deeper sense of empathy.

Overall, participants rated the course satisfaction at 4.9 ± 0.3 (5-point scale). Pre- and post-course assessments revealed a significant improvement in overall abilities, with the most substantial progress observed in wound care knowledge, dressing selection proficiency, wound care skills, and health education guidance abilities.

GBL enhances the education of nursing professionals by providing a motivating and enjoyable alternative to traditional methods. While gamified learning has proven effective in education, future efforts should incorporate more explicit assessment methods to further integrate GBL into medical education.

We compute the relative densities of the particles at equilibrium and the Fermi momentum of electrons in the strong magnetic field as function of the density of neutrons and the magnetic field induction. Novel features are revealed as to the ratio of the number of protons to the number of neutrons at equilibrium in the presence of large magnetic fields.

description: In discrete-state Markovian systems, many important properties of correlations functions and relaxation dynamics depend on the spectrum of the rate matrix. Here we demonstrate the existence of a universal trade-off between thermodynamic and spectral properties. We show that the entropy production rate, the fundamental thermodynamic cost of a nonequilibrium steady state, bounds the difference between the eigenvalues of a nonequilibrium rate matrix and a reference equilibrium rate matrix. Using this result, we derive thermodynamic bounds on the spectral gap, which governs autocorrelations times and the speed of relaxation to steady state. We also derive thermodynamic bounds on the imaginary eigenvalues, which govern the speed of oscillations. We illustrate our approach using a simple model of biomolecular sensing.

description: We construct efficient deterministic dynamical decoupling schemes protecting continuous variable degrees of freedom. Our schemes target decoherence induced by quadratic system-bath interactions with analytic time-dependence. We show how to suppress such interactions to $N$-th order using only $N$ pulses. Furthermore, we show to homogenize a $2^m$-mode bosonic system using only $(N+1)^{2m+1}$ pulses, yielding - up to $N$-th order - an effective evolution described by non-interacting harmonic oscillators with identical frequencies. The decoupled and homogenized system provides natural decoherence-free subspaces for encoding quantum information. Our schemes only require pulses which are tensor products of single-mode passive Gaussian unitaries and SWAP gates between pairs of modes.

description: The income of non-salaried agricultural workers is at the heart of many debates and analyses concerning the economic trajectory of French farms. According to data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN), the farm income (before tax) per annual work unit (non-salaried AWU) amounted on average to 29,500 euros (in constant 2019 prices) over the ten-year period 2010-2019. This average, which is subject to strong inter-annual variations depending on the evolution of international prices and harvested quantities, masks a very strong heterogeneity. To account for this aspect, two typological grids are proposed in this paper, based on a combination of three indicators, namely labor productivity, productive efficiency and debt sustainability. After analyzing the evolution of income dispersion of non-salaried AWU over the last ten years, we present how the two grids were constructed. An application to FADN data permits to measure teachings (developments, progress) in terms of the distribution of French farms and farm incomes. The variability of farm incomes per annual work unit is strong across farm types, but also within each type of farms. The paper aims to convince public and private producers of data on agricultural income to implement whenever possible the two typological grids introduced here.

description: This paper presents two direct parameterizations of stable and robust linear parameter-varying state-space (LPV-SS) models. The model parametrizations guarantee a priori that for all parameter values during training, the allowed models are stable in the contraction sense or have their Lipschitz constant bounded by a user-defined value $γ$. Furthermore, since the parametrizations are direct, the models can be trained using unconstrained optimization. The fact that the trained models are of the LPV-SS class makes them useful for, e.g., further convex analysis or controller design. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated on an LPV identification problem.

Will a group-based collaborative-reading journal club be useful in improving English proficiency and motivation of self-study for nurse practitioners
Creators: name: WANG, Chao

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited

description: Nurse practitioners are relatively limited in their ability to keep abreast with nursing literature in English. Therefore, we aimed to explore whether a new mode of collaborative journal club for nurse practitioners can improve the English proficiency and motivate them for further self-study.

A group-based collaborative-reading journal club was established including 20 clinical nurse practitioners from Cardiology unit. All participants volunteered to host monthly journal club in turns. The event was composed of three sessions, learning of key terminologies, collaborative reading of the article, and discussions of its clinical relevance. Mastery of key terminologies, reading skills, course satisfaction, learning capacities, knowledge applications and impact on clinical work were assessed by prior-validated questionnaires before and one year after implementation. The correlation coefficients were measured within the questionnaires, and the before-after outcomes were compared by paired-t test.

A total of 12 activities were carried out over 1 year. From the survey, about 60% of the participants indicated that the collaborative-reading mode had a significantly positive impact on their improvement in English proficiency, and 94.74% of the participants believed that the improvement was greater when they are hosting the event. Hosting the activity was positively and significantly correlated with the enhancement of reading speed (r=0.54, P<0.05) and understanding (r=0.50, P<0.05). The most obvious improvement was on the ability to identify relevant English literature and accurately understand the manuscript. In addition, participants believed that this pattern strengthened motivation and fostered a growth mindset instead of a fixed one. After participating in this project, 84.21% of the participants spent more time on reading nursing literature every week.

Group-based collaborative-reading journal club can improve English proficiency in their ability to identify relevant literature, to read and understand the manuscript, the effect of which was greater when hosting the event. In addition, participants believed that this pattern motivated their own self-study.

description: The superconducting diode effect refers to an asymmetry in the critical supercurrent $J_c(\hat{n})$ along opposite directions, $J_c(\hat{n})\neq J_c(-\hat{n})$. While the basic symmetry requirements for this effect are known, it is, for junction-free systems, difficult to capture within current theoretical models the large current asymmetries $J_c(\hat{n})/J_c(-\hat{n})$ recently observed in experiment. We here propose and develop a theory for an enhancement mechanism of the diode effect arising from spontaneous symmetry breaking. We show - both within a phenomenological and a microscopic theory - that there is a coupling of the supercurrent and the underlying symmetry-breaking order parameter. This coupling can enhance the current asymmetry significantly. Our work might not only provide a possible explanation for recent experiments on trilayer graphene but also pave the way for future realizations of the superconducting diode effect with large current asymmetries.

The x-ray diffraction results show that the crystal structure of $\rm LiCu_2O_2$ ~is orthorhombic down to T=10K. Anisotropic line-broadening of the diffraction peaks is observed, indicating disorder along the spin chains. Muon spin relaxation and specific heat measurements show that $\rm LiCu_2O_2$ ũndergoes a phase transition to a magnetic ordered state at $\rm T_1\sim24K$. The specific heat data exhibits a second $\rm λ$-like peak at $\rm T_2\sim22.5 K$, which increases with increasing magnetic field similarly way to that found in spin-ladder compounds.

description: Fast, high-order accurate algorithms for electromagnetic scattering from axisymmetric objects are of great importance when modeling physical phenomena in optics, materials science (e.g. meta-materials), and many other fields of applied science. In this paper, we develop an FFT-accelerated separation of variables solver that can be used to efficiently invert integral equation formulations of Maxwell's equations for scattering from axisymmetric penetrable (dielectric) bodies. Using a standard variant of Müller's integral representation of the fields, our numerical solver rapidly and directly inverts the resulting second-kind integral equation. In particular, the algorithm of this work (1) rapidly evaluates the modal Green's functions, and their derivatives, via kernel splitting and the use of novel recursion formulas, (2) discretizes the underlying integral equation using generalized Gaussian quadratures on adaptive meshes, and (3) is applicable to geometries containing edges. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the aforementioned algorithm in various geometries.

description: Strong-flavor and parity a priori mixing in hadrons are shown to describe well the experimental evidence on weak radiative decays of hyperons. An independent determination of the a priori mixing angles is performed. The values obtained for them are seen to have a universality-like property, when compared to their values in non-leptonic decays of hyperons.

Who are the gatekeepers of economics? Geographic diversity, gender composition, and interlocking editorship of journal boards

description: This study investigates the role of editorial board members as gatekeepers in science, creating and utilizing a database of 1,516 active economics journals in 2019, which includes more than 44,000 scholars from over 6,000 institutions and 142 countries. The composition of these editorial boards is explored in terms of geographic affiliation, institutional affiliation, and gender. Results highlight that the academic publishing environment is primarily governed by men affiliated with elite universities in the United States. The study further explores social similarities among journals using a network analysis perspective based on interlocking editorship. Comparison of networks generated by all scholars, editorial leaders, and non-editorial leaders reveals significant structural similarities and associations among clusters of journals. These results indicate that links between pairs of journals tend to be redundant, and this can be interpreted in terms of social and intellectual homophily within each board, and between boards of journals belonging to the same cluster. Finally, the analysis of the most central journals and scholars in the networks suggests that journals probably adopt 'strategic decisions' in the selection of the editorial board members. The documented high concentration of editorial power poses a serious risk to innovative research in economics.

description: This paper traces the genesis of India's 1991 economic crisis and analyzes the policy response of the goverment in terms of macroeconomic stabilization and structural reforms. It is suggested that the economic crisis was primarily due to the large and growing fiscal imbalances over the 1980s. Large fiscal deficits, overtime, had a spill over effect on the trade deficit culminating in a external payments crisis. A program of economic policy reform has since been put in place which has yielded very satisfactory results so far. While a lot still remains on the unfinished reform agenda, the prospects of macro stability and growth are indeed encouraging.

description: We develop a supersymmetric bi-axion model of high-scale inflation coupled to supergravity, in which the axionic structure originates from, and is protected by, gauge symmetry in an extra dimension. While local supersymmetry (SUSY) is necessarily Higgsed at high scales during inflation we show that it can naturally survive down to the $\sim$ TeV scale in the current era in order to resolve the electroweak hierarchy problem. We show how a suitable inflationary effective potential for the axions can be generated at tree-level by charged fields under the higher-dimensional gauge symmetry. The inflationary trajectory lies along the lightest direction in the bi-axion field space, with periodic effective potential and an effective super-Planckian field range emerging from fundamentally sub-Planckian dynamics. The heavier direction in the field space is shown to also play an important role, as the dominant source of super-Higgsing during inflation. This model presents an interesting interplay of tuning considerations relating the electroweak hierarchy, cosmological constant and inflationary superpotential, where maximal naturalness favors SUSY breaking near the electroweak scale after inflation. The scalar superpartner of the axionic inflaton, the "sinflaton", can naturally have $\sim$ Hubble mass during inflation and sufficiently strong coupling to the inflaton to mediate primordial non-Gaussianities of observable strength in future 21-cm surveys. Non-minimal charged fields under the higher-dimensional gauge symmetry can contribute to periodic modulations in the CMB, within the sensitivity of ongoing measurements.

description: In this paper, we present a state-feedback controller design method for bilinear systems. To this end, we write the bilinear system as a linear fractional representation by interpreting the state in the bilinearity as a structured uncertainty. Based on that, we derive convex conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities for the controller design, which are efficiently solvable by semidefinite programming. Further, we prove asymptotic stability and quadratic performance of the resulting closed-loop system locally in a predefined region. The proposed design uses gain-scheduling techniques and results in a state feedback with rational dependence on the state, which can substantially reduce conservatism and improve performance in comparison to a simpler, linear state feedback. Moreover, the design method is easily adaptable to various scenarios due to its modular formulation in the robust control framework. Finally, we apply the developed approaches to numerical examples and illustrate the benefits of the approach.

description: Trapped ions provide a platform for quantum technologies that offers long coherence times and high degrees of scalability and controllability. Here, we use this platform to develop a realistic model of a thermal device consisting of two laser-driven, strongly coupled Rydberg ions in a harmonic trap. We show that the translational degrees of freedom of this system can be utilized as a flywheel storing the work output that is generated by a cyclic thermodynamic process applied to its electronic degrees of freedom. Mimicking such a process through periodic variations of external control parameters, we use a mean-field approach underpinned by numerical and analytical calculations to identify relevant physical processes and to determine the charging rate of the flywheel. Our work paves the way for the design of microscopic thermal machines based on Rydberg ions that can be equipped with both many-body working media and universal work storages.

description: X-ray diffraction of silicon irradiated with tightly focused femtosecond x-ray pulses (photon energy: 11.5 keV, pulse duration: 6 fs) was measured at various x-ray intensities up to $4.6\times10^{19}$ W/cm$^2$. The measurement reveals that the diffraction intensity is highly suppressed when the x-ray intensity reaches of the order of $10^{19}$ W/cm$^2$. With a dedicated simulation, we confirm the observed reduction of the diffraction intensity is attributed to the femtosecond change in individual atomic scattering factors due to the ultrafast creation of highly ionized atoms through photoionization, Auger decay, and subsequent collisional ionization. We anticipate that this ultrafast reduction of atomic scattering factor will be a basis for new x-ray nonlinear techniques, such as pulse shortening and contrast variation x-ray scattering.
