description: What kind of object is a quantum state? Is it an object that encodes an exponentially growing amount of information (in the size of the system) or more akin to a probability distribution? It turns out that these questions are sensitive to what we do with the information. For example, Holevo's bound tells us that n qubits only encode n bits of classical information but for certain communication complexity tasks there is an exponential separation between quantum and classical resources. Instead of just contrasting quantum and classical physics, we can place both within a broad landscape of physical theories and ask how non-quantum (and non-classical) theories are different from, or more powerful than quantum theory. For example, in communication complexity, certain (non-quantum) theories can trivialise all communication complexity tasks. In recent work [C. M. Lee and M. J. Hoban, Proc. Royal Soc. A 472 (2190), 2016], we showed that the immense power of the information content of states in general (non-quantum) physical theories is not limited to communication complexity. We showed that, in general physical theories, states can be taken as "advice" for computers in these theories and this advice allows the computers to easily solve any decision problem. Aaronson has highlighted the close connection between quantum communication complexity and quantum computations that take quantum advice, and our work gives further indications that this is a very general connection. In this work, we review the results in our previous work and discuss the intricate relationship between communication complexity and computers taking advice for general theories.

description: В статье рассматриваются факторы и механизмы эволюции жанра американского вестерна от первых картин немого периода кино до современных постмодернистских работ. Анализируется мифология классического вестерна, мир и сеттинг Дикого Запада, образы и типажи населяющих его персонажей, как эстетически и содержательно они меняются с течением времени. На примере ряда фильмов демонстрируются изменения, которые происходят с жанром на различных этапах истории США, как вестерн впитывает и рефлексирует актуальные социальные вопросы и общественные дискурсы. Центральным сюжетом фильмов о ковбоях всегда оставалась дихотомия между писанным законом цивилизации и вольным законом фронтира. Перед героем вестерна, существующим как бы на границе двух миров, стоит задача восстановить справедливость и обрести себя, войдя в общество и встретив женщину – залог светлого будущего и спасительницу протагониста. Начиная с 1960-х тропы классических фильмов о Диком Западе начинают радикально переосмысляться, постмодернистский вестерн предлагает новое прочтение традиционных образов, жанр синтезируется с новыми стилями и формами, в частности с фантастикой и хоррором. Вестерн утрачивает историчность, все больше прибегает к условности, зачастую действие фильмов происходит в современности или в футуристическом будущем. Дегероизация Дикого Запада, критика консервативных сюжетов приводит к возникновению новых персонажей и разложению старых. Несмотря на то что со временем вестерн перестал преобладать в голливудской системе как один из ключевых жанров, в XXI веке он стал активнее переосмысляться и возвращаться в массовую культуру. Через него современное американское кино находит новые способы размышления об истории, национальных ценностях, нравственности и законе.

Multi-Differential Cross Section Measurements of Muon-Neutrino-Argon Quasielastic-like Reactions with the MicroBooNE Detector
Creators: name: MicroBooNE Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report on a flux-integrated multi-differential measurement of charged-current muon neutrino scattering on argon with one muon and one proton in the final state using the Booster Neutrino Beam and MicroBooNE detector at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The data are studied as a function of various kinematic imbalance variables and of a neutrino energy estimator, and are compared to a number of event generator predictions. We find that the measured cross sections in different phase-space regions are sensitive to nuclear effects. Our results provide precision data to test and improve the neutrino-nucleus interaction models needed to perform high-accuracy oscillation analyses. Specific regions of phase-space are identified where further model refinements are most needed.

Автор анализирует центральные образы фильма, его художественный строй, выявляя в нем роль литературной и живописной национальной традиции. Отдельное внимание уделяется роли оптических эффектов и жанровым особенностям фильма в жанре фэнтези; проведено компаративное исследование сюжетно-образной структуры фильма «Сампо» (1958) А. Птушко и фильма «Викинги» (1958, США) Р. Флейшера и определена роль политического контекста в ее формировании. Привлечен ранее не публиковавшийся архивный материал: варианты сценария, материалы заседаний художественных советов киностудии, письма, документы. К анализу привлечен фольклористический инструментарий: методика В. Проппа. «Сампо» в постановке Птушко и Х. Харривирта стал первой совместной постановкой «Мосфильма» и финской киностудии «Суоми-фильм» и явился следствием переговоров глав государств о построении культурных связей между Финляндией и СССР. В ходе исследования автор прослеживает последовательную редукцию элементов мифа в киносказке, выявляет особенности разработки сюжета, способы репрезентации социального конфликта, определяет роль и место в художественной ткани этнографических элементов и традиций национальной живописи. Определены роль концепта «монструозная женщина», особенности трансляции жанровых стереотипов и способы противостояния официальному дискурсу.

description: Статья посвящена выявлению драматургических особенностей телевизионного музыкального цикла «Старые песни о главном». На примере его первых трех выпусков автор анализирует, как в переломной эпохе 1990-х годов началась реактуализация советской культуры. С помощью подробного анализа различных песен, прозвучавших в телепроекте, прослеживается становление нового формата новогоднего телешоу. В частности, автор выявляет, что характерное для формы мюзикла переключение между условным и реалистичным типом повествования в «Старых песнях о главном» происходит за счет сопоставления имиджа поп-артиста и характера лирического героя исполняемой им песни. Отдельные музыкальные номера складываются в сюжетную линию за счет сеттинга. В его формировании особую роль играют лейтмотивы деревни, города и медиа (телевидения и кинематографа). Однако несмотря на стремление выстроить общий нарратив, к третьему выпуску телепроект из жанра музыкального ревю превращается в серию автономных видеоклипов. Другая линия исследования связана с драматургией малой формы и сравнивает изначальный характер лирических героев конкретных песен и их трансформацию в осовремененной версии. Если в первом выпуске телепроекта смысловые противоречия между оригиналом и реконструкцией возникали в основном не запланировано, то к третьему выпуску они становятся нарочитыми и задают ироничную дистанцию по отношению к советскому прошлому.

description: Molecular dynamics simulation studies were performed to investigate the structural and dynamic properties of liquid carbon disulfide from ambient to elevated pressure conditions. The results obtained have revealed structural changes at high pressures, which are related to the more dense packing of the molecules inside the first solvation shell. The calculated neutron and X-Ray structure factors have been compared with available experimental diffraction data, also revealing the pressure effects on the short-range structure of the liquid. The pressure effects on the translational, reorientational and residence dynamics are very strong, revealing a significant slowing down when going from ambient pressure to 1.2 GPa. The translational dynamics of the linear CS2 molecules have been found to be more anisotropic at elevated pressures, where cage effects and librational motions are reflected on the shape of the calculated time correlation functions and their corresponding spectral densities.

description: A paper focused on women and feminism in anarchist groups. Anarcha-feminism combines anarchism with feminism, viewing patriarchy as a manifestation of involuntary hierarchy. Anarcha-feminists believe that the struggle against patriarchy is an essential part of class struggle, and the anarchist struggle against the state. The philosophy of arnacha-feminism sees anarchist struggle as a necessary component of feminist struggle and vice-versa. Anarcha-feminism originated in the late 19th and early 20th century in the writings of authors and theorists such as Emma Goldman, Voltairine de Cleyre, and Lucy Parsons.

description: We propose a new technique for the calibration of nuclear recoils in large noble element dual-phase time projection chambers used to search for WIMP dark matter in the local galactic halo. This technique provides an $\textit{in situ}$ measurement of the low-energy nuclear recoil response of the target media using the measured scattering angle between multiple neutron interactions within the detector volume. The low-energy reach and reduced systematics of this calibration have particular significance for the low-mass WIMP sensitivity of several leading dark matter experiments. Multiple strategies for improving this calibration technique are discussed, including the creation of a new type of quasi-monoenergetic 272 keV neutron source. We report results from a time-of-flight based measurement of the neutron energy spectrum produced by an Adelphi Technology, Inc. DD108 neutron generator, confirming its suitability for the proposed nuclear recoil calibration.

First double-differential measurement of kinematic imbalance in neutrino interactions with the MicroBooNE detector
Creators: name: MicroBooNE Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We report the first measurement of flux-integrated double-differential quasielastic-like neutrino-argon cross sections, which have been made using the Booster Neutrino Beam and the MicroBooNE detector at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The data are presented as a function of kinematic imbalance variables which are sensitive to nuclear ground state distributions and hadronic reinteraction processes. We find that the measured cross sections in different phase-space regions are sensitive to different nuclear effects. Therefore, they enable the impact of specific nuclear effects on the neutrino-nucleus interaction to be isolated more completely than was possible using previous single-differential cross section measurements. Our results provide precision data to help test and improve neutrino-nucleus interaction models. They further support ongoing neutrino-oscillation studies by establishing phase-space regions where precise reaction modeling has already been achieved.

description: Статья посвящена анализу современных тенденций в развитии кинодраматургии сериальной продукции жанров фэнтези, исторической и псевдоисторической драмы. Автор выделяет несколько основных характеристик, отражающих особенности конструирования кинофабулы и эстетики в наиболее популярных серийных произведениях последнего десятилетия. В качестве гипотезы выдвигается предположение, что постмодернистская модель с элементами психоанализа и эстетики нуара становится одним из наиболее эффективных методов кинотворчества, приводя к неформатной драматургии и смешению жанров в сериальной продукции. Автор обращает внимание на тот факт, что сериальная продукция – это результат взаимодействия продюсерского кино и современной аудитории, так называемого «produsing» – неологизма, используемого западными культурологами для описания нового типа коммуникации между СМИ и зрителями. Это одно из проявлений общей тенденции развития интерактивности в визуальных искусствах XXI века. В статье проводится анализ наиболее рейтинговых сериалов, отражающих упомянутые тенденции: «Игра престолов», «Рассказ служанки», «Борджиа», «Демоны да Винчи», «Медичи», «Молодой папа». Современные герои бездействуют, впадают в кому или безумие, так как согласно дионисической концепции Ф. Ницше им «довелось однажды действительно узреть сущность вещей, они познали – и им стало противно действовать; ибо их действие ничего не может изменить в вечной сущности вещей…» [6, с. 82]

Bayesian Nash Equilibrium Seeking for Distributed Incomplete-information Aggregative Games

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: In this paper, we consider a distributed Bayesian Nash equilibrium (BNE) seeking problem in incomplete-information aggregative games, which is a generalization of Bayesian games and deterministic aggregative games. We handle the aggregation function for distributed incomplete-information situations. Since the feasible strategies are infinite-dimensional functions and lie in a non-compact set, the continuity of types brings barriers to seeking equilibria. To this end, we discretize the continuous types and then prove that the equilibrium of the derived discretized model is an $ε$-BNE. On this basis, we propose a distributed algorithm for an $ε$-BNE and further prove its convergence.

description: We report nine years of optical spectroscopy of the metal-polluted white dwarf SDSS J104341.53+085558.2, which presents morphological variations of the line profiles of the 8600 Å Ca II triplet emission from the gaseous component of its debris disc. Similar changes in the shape of the Ca II triplet have also been observed in two other systems that host a gaseous disc, and are likely related to the same mechanism. We report the Mg, Si, and Ca abundances of the debris detected in the photosphere of SDSS J1043+0855, place upper limits on O and Fe, and derive an accretion rate of (2.5 - 12)x$10^8$ g/s, consistent with those found in other systems with detected debris discs. The Mg/Si ratio and the upper limit on the Fe/Si ratio of the accreted material broadly agree with those found for the crust of the Earth. We also review the range of variability observed among white dwarfs with planetary debris discs.

description: Исследование посвящено истории производства фарфоровых кукол, которые получили распространение с середины XIX века. Фарфоровые куклы на протяжении истории всегда являлись уникальной продукцией, часто имеющей статус произведения искусства. В основном из фарфора изготавливается голова куклы, в некоторые периоды детали рук и ног куклы также создают из фарфора. Наивысший расцвет фарфоровой куклы приходится на последнюю четверть XIX века, который именуют «золотым веком» кукол. Куклы имели разные типы «возраста», иконографию, функциональность. Основными типажами были кукла-дама, кукла-девочка, кукла-ребенок. В основном они производились во Франции и Германии. В первой трети ХХ века популярной становится кукла-пупс, которая меняет статус куклы с коллекционного предмета, так как дарит кукле игровую функцию. Но позднее фарфор вытеснят новейшие материалы, так как для игры кукла с фарфоровой головой являлась крайне неудобной. Новый век подарит кукол с головами из композита, материала на основе бумажной пыли и клея, а затем отрасль займет пластик и его разновидности.Возрождение фарфора в создании кукол начнется в 1980-х годах, с появлением так называемых малотиражных кукол, количество экземпляров которых колеблется от 100 до 1000 шт. Подлинный расцвет фарфоровой куклы происходит сегодня, в XXI веке, в рамках развития авторской художественной куклы, которая преимущественно имеет статус произведения искусства и коллекционирования. Задачей данного исследования является исторический обзор производства фарфоровых кукол с выявлением основной типологии кукол, а также функциональных задач куклы и ее статуса в разные временные промежутки.

description: The Hatano-Nelson model is one of the most prototypical non-Hermitian models that exhibit the intrinsic non-Hermitian topological phases and the concomitant skin effect. These phenomena unique to non-Hermitian topological systems originate from the Galilean transformation. Here, we extend such an idea to a broader range of systems based on an imaginary boost deformation and identify the corresponding energy-twisted boundary conditions. This imaginary boost deformation complexifies spectral parameters of integrable models and can be implemented by the coordinate Bethe ansatz. We apply the imaginary boost deformation to several typical integrable models, including free fermions, the Calogero-Sutherland model, and the XXZ model. We find the complex-spectral winding in free fermion models under the periodic boundary conditions and the non-Hermitian skin effect under the open boundary conditions. The interaction effect is also shown in the two-particle spectrum of the XXZ model.

description: In order to facilitate IR absorption measurements of mass-selected ions isolated in cryogenic matrices, we have upgraded an ion beam deposition apparatus encompassing a Bruker IFS66v/S FTIR spectrometer. A synthetic diamond beam splitter without compensator plate and UHV diamond viewports were installed. We have also modified the IR detector chamber to allow measurements with 5 different detectors. As a result we can now obtain FT absorption spectra from 12000 cm$^{-1}$ to 15 cm$^{-1}$ with the same sample held under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, simply by switching between appropriate IR detectors. We demonstrate performance of the upgraded FTIR spectrometer by presenting measurements of matrix isolated fullerene ions and an adhesive tape.

Geom. 21:4 (2021), 515-539 doi:10.1515/advgeom-2021-0022 (arXiv:1906.10560)] we introduced an intrinsic parameter of $\cal P$, called the anisotropic gap, defined as the least upper bound of the lengths of the well-ordered chains of subspaces of $\cal P$ containing a frame; when $\cal P$ is orthogonal, we also defined two other parameters of $\cal P$, called the elliptic and parabolic gap, related to the universal embedding of $\cal P$. In this paper, assuming $\cal P$ is an orthogonal polar space, we prove that the elliptic and parabolic gaps can be described as intrinsic invariants of $\cal P$ without making recourse to the embedding.

description: Realist, no-collapse interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as Everett's, face the probability problem: how to justify the norm-squared (Born) rule from the wavefunction alone. While any basis-independent measure can only be norm-squared (due to the Gleason-Busch Theorem) this fact conflicts with various popular, non-wavefunction-based phenomenological measures - such as observer, outcome or world counting - that are frequently demanded of Everettians. These alternatives conflict, however, with the wavefunction realism upon which Everett's approach rests, which seems to call for an objective, basis-independent measure based only on wavefunction amplitudes. The ability of quantum probabilities to destructively interfere with each other, however, makes it difficult to see how probabilities can be derived solely from amplitudes in an intuitively appealing way. I argue that the use of algorithmic probability can solve this problem, since the objective, single-case probability measure that wavefunction realism demands is exactly what algorithmic information theory was designed to provide. The result is an intuitive account of complex-valued amplitudes, as coefficients in an optimal lossy data compression, such that changes in algorithmic information content (entropy deltas) are associated with phenomenal transitions.

description: История буддийско-христианских взаимодействий реконструируется современными учеными по отдельным свидетельствам, относящимся к разным временам, – археологическим, литературным и иконографическим. Однако эта проблема не затрагивалась музыкальной наукой, хотя рассмотрение ее с позиций музыкального инструментоведения и музыкальной иконографии способно существенно дополнить и прояснить общую картину. В статье кратко излагается история древневосточного христианства и его взаимодействия с буддизмом (и отчасти манихейством) в означенных регионах, нашедшего отражение в искусстве. Рассматриваются аналогии буддийских (тибетских и японских) и христианских ритуальных музыкальных инструментов или производящих звуки орудий (деревянных бил, колоколов, бубенцов, посохов), анализируются музыкально-иконографические свидетельства взаимодействий двух конфессий, предлагается герменевтическое толкование смыслов японской амидаистской живописи райго (жанра нидзюго босацу райго – «нисхождение будды Амиды и 25 бодхисаттв») в связи с ее вероятными христианскими истоками.

description: In this paper we give a framework for describing how abstract systems can be used to compute if no randomness or error is involved. Using this we describe a class of classical "physical" computation systems whose computational capabilities in polynomial time are equivalent to P/poly. We then extend our framework to describe how measurement and transformation times may vary depending on their input. Finally we describe two classes of classical "physical" computation systems in this new framework whose computational capabilities in polynomial time are equivalent to P/poly and P/log*.

description: Chemical abundances are presented for 25 M31 globular clusters (GCs), based on moderately high resolution (R = 22, 500) H-band integrated light spectra from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). Infrared spectra offer lines from new elements, of different strengths, and at higher excitation potentials compared to the optical. Integrated abundances of C, N, and O are derived from CO, CN, and OH molecular features, while Fe, Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, and Ti abundances are derived from atomic features. These abundances are compared to previous results from the optical, demonstrating the validity and value of infrared integrated light analyses. The CNO abundances are consistent with typical tip of the red giant branch stellar abundances, but are systematically offset from optical, Lick index abundances. With a few exceptions, the other abundances agree between the optical and the infrared within the 1σ uncertainties. The first integrated K abundances are also presented, and demonstrate that K tracks the alpha-elements. The combination of infrared and optical abundances allows better determinations of GC properties, and enables probes of the multiple populations in extragalactic GCs. In particular, the integrated effects of the Na/O anticorrelation can be directly examined for the first time.

description: Данная статья рассматривает музыкальную иконографию в историко-культурном контексте. В первой части речь идет об отношении к музыке в эпоху поздней Античности и в Средневековье, что имеет принципиальное значение для понимания особенностей музыкальной иконографии Ренессанса. Во второй и третьей части говорится об основных темах и сюжетах религиозной и светской живописи, связанных с музыкой, а также рассматриваются отдельные произведения. Наибольшее внимание уделяется XV–XVI векам, периоду, которым и ограничиваются хронологические рамки статьи. Это время особенно интересно для данной темы, ибо, во-первых, никогда музыкальные сюжеты не занимали столь заметного места в живописи и, во-вторых, никогда не отражали они столь противоречивого и сложного отношения к музыке. Музыкальные инструменты (причем одни и те же) – атрибуты и ангелов, и смерти, и добра, и зла. Важнейшие события Священной истории (прежде всего Рождество, Вознесение Христа, Вознесение Марии) сопровождаются, в представлении средневековых людей, ангельской музыкой. Неземные мелодии услаждают слух Мадонны на троне, ангельские концерты непрерывно звучат в Царстве Небесном, но в то же время музыкальные инструменты – атрибуты земных радостей, а потому греха, порока и смерти.
Twist and Measure: Characterizing the Effective Radius of Strings and Bundles under Twisting Contraction

description: We test the standard model for the length contraction of a bundle of strings under twist, and find deviation that is significantly greater than typically appreciated and that has a different nature at medium and large twist angles. By including volume conservation, we achieve better fits to data for single-, double-, and triple-stranded bundles of Nylon monofilament as an ideal test case. This gives a well-defined procedure for extracting an effective twist radius that characterizes contraction behavior. While our approach accounts for the observed faster-than-expected contraction up to medium twist angles, we also find that the contraction is nevertheless slower than expected at large twist angles for both Nylon monofilament bundles and several other string types. The size of this effect varies with the individual-string braid structure and with the number of strings in the bundle. We speculate that it may be related to elastic deformation within the material. However, our first modeling attempt does not fully capture the observed behavior.

Not that long time ago in the nearest galaxy: 3D slice of molecular gas revealed by a 110 years old flare of Sgr A*

description: A powerful outburst of X-ray radiation from the supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the center of the Milky Way is believed to be responsible for the illumination of molecular clouds in the central ~100 pc of the Galaxy (Sunyaev et al., 1993, Koyama et al., 1996). The reflected/reprocessed radiation comes to us with a delay corresponding to the light propagation time that depends on the 3D position of molecular clouds with respect to Sgr A*. We suggest a novel way of determining the age of the outburst and positions of the clouds by studying characteristic imprints left by the outburst in the spatial and time variations of the reflected emission. We estimated the age of the outburst that illuminates the Sgr A molecular complex to be ~110 yr. This estimate implies that we see the gas located ~10 pc further away from us than Sgr A*. If the Sgr B2 complex is also illuminated by the same outburst, then it is located ~130 pc closer than our Galactic Center. The outburst was short (less than a few years) and the total amount of emitted energy in X-rays is $\displaystyle \sim 10^{48}ρ_3^{-1}$ erg, where $ρ_3$ is the mean hydrogen density of the cloud complex in units of $10^3 {\rm cm^{-3}}$. Energetically, such fluence can be provided by a partial tidal disruption event or even by a capture of a planet. Further progress in more accurate positioning and timing of the outburst should be possible with future X-ray polarimetric observations and long-term systematic observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton. A few hundred-years long X-ray observations would provide a detailed 3D map of the gas density distribution in the central $\sim 100$ pc region.

RecolorNeRF: Layer Decomposed Radiance Fields for Efficient Color Editing of 3D Scenes

description: Radiance fields have gradually become a main representation of media. Although its appearance editing has been studied, how to achieve view-consistent recoloring in an efficient manner is still under explored. We present RecolorNeRF, a novel user-friendly color editing approach for the neural radiance fields. Our key idea is to decompose the scene into a set of pure-colored layers, forming a palette. By this means, color manipulation can be conducted by altering the color components of the palette directly. To support efficient palette-based editing, the color of each layer needs to be as representative as possible. In the end, the problem is formulated as an optimization problem, where the layers and their blending weights are jointly optimized with the NeRF itself. Extensive experiments show that our jointly-optimized layer decomposition can be used against multiple backbones and produce photo-realistic recolored novel-view renderings. We demonstrate that RecolorNeRF outperforms baseline methods both quantitatively and qualitatively for color editing even in complex real-world scenes.

description: Information about the MOVE organization including its history and purpose. MOVE was founded in 1972 as the "Christian Movement for Life" by John Africa, a charismatic leader who, though functionally illiterate, dictated a document describing his views known as The Guideline to graduate student Donald Glassey. Africa and his followers (the majority of them African-American), wore their hair in dreadlocks and advocated a radical form of green politics and a return to hunter-gatherer society while stating their opposition to science, medicine and technology. As John Africa himself had done, his devotees also changed their surnames to show reverence to Africa, which they regarded as their mother continent

description: Monitoring the activity of the heart is important for diagnosing and preventing cardiovascular diseases. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the gold standard for diagnosing such diseases. It monitors the heart's electrical activity, and while this is highly correlated with the cardiac mechanical activity, it does not provide all the information. Other sensors such as the echocardiograph are able to monitor the heart's movements, but such tools are expensive and hard to operate. Therefore, contactless monitoring of the heart using RF sensing has gained interest in recent years. In this paper, we describe a process to extract the movements of the heart from millimeter wave radar with high accuracy, and thus we provide a noninvasive and affordable way to monitor cardiac movements. We then demonstrate the correlation between the observed movements and the ECG. Furthermore, we propose an algorithm to synchronize the ECG signal and the processed signal from the radar sensor. The results we obtained provide insights on the mechanical activity of the heart, which could assist cardiologists in their diagnoses.
