description: Abstract

This study compares and contrasts the religious and moral education contents in the Religious and Moral Education Curriculum (B1-B6) and the Our World and Our People Curricula (B1-3 and B4-6) used in Ghanaian primary schools. The research aims to identify areas of similarity and difference, and analyze whether the Ghana Education Service (GES) should cancel any one of the curricula. A content analysis approach was employed, and the findings reveal both similarities and differences in the curricula's emphasis, scope, and depth. The study concludes that while the curricula share common goals, they differ in their approaches to religious and moral education, and recommends harmonization rather than cancellation.

description: Multi-modal models excel in cross-modal tasks but are computationally expensive due to their billions of parameters. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) offers a solution by adding small trainable components while freezing pre-trained parameters. However, existing methods primarily focus on uni-modal processing, overlooking the critical modal fusion needed for multi-modal tasks. To fill this gap, we propose heterogeneous mixture of experts adapters that extend the traditional PEFT framework to support multi-modal expert combinations and improve information interaction. Additionally, our approach modifies the affine linear expert design to enable efficient modal fusion in a low-rank space, achieving competitive performance with only 5-8\% of the parameters fine-tuned. Experiments across eight downstream tasks, including visual-audio and text-visual, demonstrate the superior performance of the approach.

description: In the field of image editing, three core challenges persist: controllability, background preservation, and efficiency. Inversion-based methods rely on time-consuming optimization to preserve the features of the initial images, which results in low efficiency due to the requirement for extensive network inference. Conversely, inversion-free methods lack theoretical support for background similarity, as they circumvent the issue of maintaining initial features to achieve efficiency. As a consequence, none of these methods can achieve both high efficiency and background consistency. To tackle the challenges and the aforementioned disadvantages, we introduce PostEdit, a method that incorporates a posterior scheme to govern the diffusion sampling process. Specifically, a corresponding measurement term related to both the initial features and Langevin dynamics is introduced to optimize the estimated image generated by the given target prompt. Extensive experimental results indicate that the proposed PostEdit achieves state-of-the-art editing performance while accurately preserving unedited regions. Furthermore, the method is both inversion- and training-free, necessitating approximately 1.5 seconds and 18 GB of GPU memory to generate high-quality results.

description: Comorbidity carries significant implications for disease understanding and management. The genetic causes for comorbidity often trace back to mutations occurred either in the same gene associated with two diseases or in different genes associated with different diseases respectively but coming into connection via protein-protein interactions. Therefore, human interactome has been used in more sophisticated study of disease comorbidity. Human interactome, as a large incomplete graph, presents its own challenges to extracting useful features for comorbidity prediction. In this work, we introduce a novel approach named Biologically Supervised Graph Embedding (BSE) to allow for selecting most relevant features to enhance the prediction accuracy of comorbid disease pairs. Our investigation into BSE's impact on both centered and uncentered embedding methods showcases its consistent superiority over the state-of-the-art techniques and its adeptness in selecting dimensions enriched with vital biological insights, thereby improving prediction performance significantly, up to 50% when measured by ROC for some variations. Further analysis indicates that BSE consistently and substantially improves the ratio of disease associations to gene connectivity, affirming its potential in uncovering latent biological factors affecting comorbidity. The statistically significant enhancements across diverse metrics underscore BSE's potential to introduce novel avenues for precise disease comorbidity predictions and other potential applications.

description: Knitted fabrics are two-dimensional-like structures formed by stitching one-dimensional yarn into three-dimensional curves. Plain stitch or stockinette stitch, one of the most fundamental knitting stitches, consists of periodic lattices of bent yarns, where three-dimensional (3D) curling behavior naturally emerges at the edges. The elasticity and geometry of knitted fabrics have been studied in previous studies, primarily based on 2D modeling. Still, the relation between 3D geometry and the mechanics of knitted fabrics has not been clarified so far. The curling behavior of knits is intricately related to the forces and moments acting on the yarns, geometry of the unit knitted loops, mechanical properties, and contacts, hence requiring a 3D analysis. Here, we show that the curling of plain knits emerges through the elasticity and geometry of the knitted loops, combining desktop-scale experiments and reduced elasticity-based simulations. We find that by changing the horizontal and vertical knitting numbers, three types of curl shapes emerge: side curl and top/bottom curl shapes, which are curled only horizontally and vertically, and double curl shape, in which both curl shapes appear together. The fundamental mechanism of intricate shape deformation is clarified through the force and moment balance along yarn whose centerline shape is discretized through the B-spline curves where elastic stretching, bending, and contact mechanics are taken into account. We reveal that the 3D structure of the single-knitted loop plays a critical role in the curling behavior. Our results imply that the change in shape per a single knitted loop has the potential to control the 3D natural overall shape of knitted fabrics, and could be applied in predicting or designing more complex 3D shapes made of knitted fabrics.

description: We report on the masses and hyperfine structure of ground and isomeric states in $^{114,116,118,120}$Ag isotopes, measured with the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance technique (PI-ICR) with the JYFLTRAP mass spectrometer and the collinear laser spectroscopy beamline at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility, Jyväskylä, Finland. We measured the masses and excitation energies, electromagnetic moments, and charge radii, and firmly established the nuclear spins of the long-lived states. A new isomer was discovered in $^{118}$Ag and the half-lives of $^{118}$Ag long-lived states were reevaluated. We unambiguously pinned down the level ordering of all long-lived states, placing the inversion of the $I = 0^-$ and $I = 4^+$ states at $A = 118$ $(N = 71)$. Lastly, we compared the electromagnetic moments of each state to empirical single-particle moments to identify the dominant configuration where possible.

description: This thesis explored the discourses, contexts, and contingencies shaping injection drug use (IDU) among gay and bisexual men (GBM) in Australia. Situated within a critical realist framework it presents a multi-method analysis of academic discourses on GBM substance use, GBM’s experiences surrounding IDU, and a sexuality-based comparison of injecting practices among men in Melbourne.

Findings suggest IDU is shaped by complex interrelationships between available materials, individual skills, and shared understandings. Addressing the ‘exceptionalism’ which positions GBM and their drug practices as ‘other’; the stigma-perpetuating discourses; and the hegemony of epidemiological knowledge-generation, could make a meaningful contribution to GBM’s wellbeing.

description: Interoperability is the key to implementing a wide range of energy systems applications. It involves the seamless cooperation of different methods and components. With smart energy systems, interoperability faces challenges due to integrating differ-ent approaches and technologies. This includes dealing with heterogeneous approaches with various communication proto-cols and data formats. However, it is essential for smart energy systems to carry out thorough interoperability tests. They are usually diverse, and challenging, thus requiring careful consideration of compatibility issues and complex integration scenari-os. Overcoming these challenges requires a systematic approach that includes thorough test planning, rigorous testing, and continuous test monitoring. Although numerous testing approaches exist, most are more developed at the component/device level than at the system level. Consequently, there are few approaches and related facilities to test the interoperability of smart energy approaches and solutions at the system level. This work analyses existing interoperability test concepts, identi-fies enablers and the potential for harmonisation of procedures, and proposes further developments of these approaches.

description: Edge Intelligence (EI) has been instrumental in delivering real-time, localized services by leveraging the computational capabilities of edge networks. The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) empowers EI to evolve into the next stage: Edge General Intelligence (EGI), enabling more adaptive and versatile applications that require advanced understanding and reasoning capabilities. However, systematic exploration in this area remains insufficient. This survey delineates the distinctions between EGI and traditional EI, categorizing LLM-empowered EGI into three conceptual systems: centralized, hybrid, and decentralized. For each system, we detail the framework designs and review existing implementations. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance and throughput of various Small Language Models (SLMs) that are more suitable for development on edge devices. This survey provides researchers with a comprehensive vision of EGI, offering insights into its vast potential and establishing a foundation for future advancements in this rapidly evolving field.

description: Differential absorption Lidar (DIAL) in the ultraviolet (UV) region is an effective approach for monitoring tropospheric ozone. 4H-SiC single-photon detectors (SPDs) are emergent devices for UV single-photon detection. Here, we demonstrate a 4H-SiC SPD-based ozone DIAL. We design and fabricate the 4H-SiC single-photon avalanche diode with a beveled mesa structure and optimized layer thickness. An active quenching circuit with a quenching time of 1.03 ns is developed to significantly mitigate the afterpulsing effect while enhancing the maximum count rate. After characterization, the SPD exhibits excellent performance with a photon detection efficiency of 16.6% at 266 nm, a dark count rate of 138 kcps, a maximum count rate of 13 Mcps, and an afterpulse probability of 2.7% at room temperature. Then, we apply two 4H-SiC SPDs in an ozone DIAL. The measured ozone concentrations at altitudes of 1-3.5 km agree well with the results of a commercial ozone DIAL. Our work provides an alternative solution for general UV Lidar applications.

description: The DsTau(NA65) experiment at CERN was proposed to measure an inclusive differential cross-section of $D_s$ production with decay to tau lepton and tau neutrino in $p$-$A$ interactions. The DsTau detector is based on the nuclear emulsion technique, which provides excellent spatial resolution for detecting short-lived particles like charmed hadrons. This paper presents the first results of the analysis of the pilot-run (2018 run) data and reports the accuracy of the proton interaction vertex reconstruction. High precision in vertex reconstruction enables detailed measurement of proton interactions, even in environments with high track density. The measured data has been compared with several Monte Carlo event generators in terms of multiplicity and angular distribution of charged particles. The multiplicity distribution obtained in p-W interactions is tested for KNO-G scaling and is found to be nearly consistent. The interaction length of protons in tungsten is measured to be 93.7 $\pm$ 2.6 mm. The results presented in this study can be used to validate event generators of $p$-$A$ interactions.

description: Experimentally, the doubly charm tetraquark channel $cc\bar q\bar q$ with $q\!=\!u,d$ features an exotic hadron, $T_{cc}$, with isospin $I\!=\!0$ near the $DD^*$ threshold, while no peak was observed for $I\!=\!1$. We present a lattice QCD study of this channel with $I\!=\!1$, $J^P\!=\!1^+$ and $m_π\simeq 280~$MeV. Finite-volume energies calculated across five charm quark masses consistently feature a positive energy shift with respect to non-interacting energies, indicating repulsive interaction at energies near threshold. These energies are used to compute the $DD^*$ scattering amplitude using both the standard Lüscher method and the recently proposed effective-field-theory-based approach in the plane-wave basis, which incorporates the long-range interactions and the left-hand cut. Both analyses render a small negative scattering length and the scattering amplitude that does not feature any poles in the energy region near the $DD^*$ threshold, in line with LHCb results. We identify that the Wick contraction resembling $t$-channel isovector-vector meson exchanges between $D$ and $D^*$ plays a key role in distinguishing between the $I=0$ and $I=1$ channels, leading to repulsion in the $I=1$ and attraction in the $I=0$ channel.

description: We study the dynamics of an open quantum system linearly coupled to a bosonic reservoir. We show that, in the ultrastrong coupling limit, the system undergoes a nonselective measurement and then evolves unitarily according to an effective Zeno Hamiltonian. This dynamical process is largely independent of the reservoir state. We examine the entanglement breaking effect of the ultrastrong coupling on the system. We also derive the evolution equation for systems in contact with several reservoirs when one coupling is ultrastrong. The effective system dynamics displays a rich structure and, contrarily to the single reservoir case, it is generally non-Markovian. Our approach is based on a Dyson series expansion, in which we can take the ultrastrong limit termwise, and a subsequent resummation of the series.

description: A key challenge for Deep Neural Network (DNN) algorithms is their vulnerability to adversarial attacks. Inherently non-deterministic compute substrates, such as those based on Analog In-Memory Computing (AIMC), have been speculated to provide significant adversarial robustness when performing DNN inference. In this paper, we experimentally validate this conjecture for the first time on an AIMC chip based on Phase Change Memory (PCM) devices. We demonstrate higher adversarial robustness against different types of adversarial attacks when implementing an image classification network. Additional robustness is also observed when performing hardware-in-the-loop attacks, for which the attacker is assumed to have full access to the hardware. A careful study of the various noise sources indicate that a combination of stochastic noise sources (both recurrent and non-recurrent) are responsible for the adversarial robustness and that their type and magnitude disproportionately effects this property. Finally, it is demonstrated, via simulations, that when a much larger transformer network is used to implement a Natural Language Processing (NLP) task, additional robustness is still observed.

description: Measuring fluctuations in matter's low energy excitations is the key to unveil the nature of the nonequilibrium response of materials. A promising outlook in this respect is offered by spectroscopic methods that address matter fluctuations by exploiting the statistical nature of light-matter interactions with weak few-photon probes. Here we report the first implementation of ultrafast phase randomized tomography, combining pump-probe experiments with quantum optical state tomography, to measure the ultrafast non-equilibrium dynamics in complex materials. Our approach utilizes a time-resolved multimode heterodyne detection scheme with phase-randomized coherent ultrashort laser pulses, overcoming the limitations of phase-stable configurations and enabling a robust reconstruction of the statistical distribution of phase-averaged optical observables. This methodology is validated by measuring the coherent phonon response in $α$-quartz. By tracking the dynamics of the shot-noise limited photon number distribution of few-photon probes with ultrafast resolution, our results set an upper limit to the non-classical features of phononic state in $α$-quartz and provide a pathway to access nonequilibrium quantum fluctuations in more complex quantum materials.

description: The accurate measurement of neutron skin thickness of $^{208}$Pb by the PREX Collaboration suggests a large value of the nuclear symmetry energy slope parameter, $L$, whereas the smaller $L$ is preferred to account for the small neutron-star radii from NICER observations. To resolve this discrepancy between nuclear experiments and astrophysical observations, new effective interactions have been developed using relativistic mean-field models with the isoscalar- and isovector-meson mixing. We investigate the effects of $δ$-nucleon coupling and $σ$--$δ$ mixing on the ground-state properties of finite nuclei, as well as the characteristics of isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter and neutron stars. Additionally, we explore the role of the quartic $ρ$-meson self-interaction in dense nuclear matter to mitigate the stiff equation of state for neutron stars resulting from the large $δ$-nucleon coupling. It is found that the nuclear symmetry energy undergoes a sudden softening at approximately twice the saturation density of nuclear matter, taking into account the PREX-2 result, the recent NICER observation of PSR J0437$-$4715, and the binary neutron star merger, GW170817.

description: The first artificial quantum neuron models followed a similar path to classic models, as they work only with discrete values. Here we introduce an algorithm that generalizes the binary model manipulating the phase of complex numbers. We propose, test, and implement a neuron model that works with continuous values in a quantum computer. Through simulations, we demonstrate that our model may work in a hybrid training scheme utilizing gradient descent as a learning algorithm. This work represents another step in the direction of evaluation of the use of artificial neural networks efficiently implemented on near-term quantum devices.

description: Water wires, quasi-one-dimensional chains composed of hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) water molecules, play a fundamental role in numerous chemical, physical, and physiological processes. Yet direct experimental detection of water wires has been elusive so far. Based on advanced $ab$ $initio$ many-body theory that includes electron-hole interactions, we report that optical absorption spectroscopy can serve as a sensitive probe of water wires and their ordering. In both liquid and solid water, the main peak of the spectrum is discovered to be a charge transfer exciton. In water, the charge transfer exciton is strongly coupled to the H-bonding environment where the exciton is excited between H-bonded water molecules with a large spectral intensity. In regular ice, the spectral weight of the charge transfer exciton is enhanced by a collective excitation occurring on proton-ordered water wires, whose spectral intensity scales with the ordering length of water wire. The spectral intensity and excitonic interaction strength reaches its maximum in ice XI, where the long-range ordering length yields the most pronounced spectral signal. Our findings suggest that water wires, which widely exist in important physiological and biological systems and other phases of ice, can be directly probed by this approach.
