description: We present a comparison of the spatial distributions of Ly$α$ emitters (LAEs) and massive star-forming and quiescent galaxies (SFGs and QGs) at $2-20$). From the overdensity distributions, LAEs are located in less dense regions than SFGs and QGs, whereas SFGs and QGs tend to be in the same overdensity distributions. The different spatial distributions of LAEs compared to those of massive galaxies may be attributed to assembly bias or large amounts of neutral hydrogen gas associated with massive halos. These results reinforce the importance of exploring multiple galaxy populations in quantifying the intrinsic galaxy environment of the high-$z$ universe.

description: This paper introduces a quantum-classical hybrid algorithm for generalized pattern search (GPS) algorithms. We introduce a quantum search step algorithm using amplitude amplification, which reduces the number of oracle calls needed during the search step from O(N) classical calls to O(N^(1/2)) quantum calls. This work addresses three fundamental issues with using a quantum search step with GPS. First we address the need to mark an improved mesh point, a requirement of the amplitude amplification algorithm. Second, we introduce a modified version of the amplitude amplification algorithm QSearch, which is guaranteed to terminate using a finite number of iterations. Third, we avoid disrupting the GPS algorithm's convergence by limiting the quantum algorithm to the search step.
Robustness of operator quantum error correction with respect to initialization errors

description: In the theory of operator quantum error correction (OQEC), the notion of correctability is defined under the assumption that states are perfectly initialized inside a particular subspace, a factor of which (a subsystem) contains the protected information. If the initial state of the system does not belong entirely to the subspace in question, the restriction of the state to the otherwise correctable subsystem may not remain invariant after the application of noise and error correction. It is known that in the case of decoherence-free subspaces and subsystems (DFSs) the condition for perfect unitary evolution inside the code imposes more restrictive conditions on the noise process if one allows imperfect initialization. It was believed that these conditions are necessary if DFSs are to be able to protect imperfectly encoded states from subsequent errors. By a similar argument, general OQEC codes would also require more restrictive error-correction conditions for the case of imperfect initialization. In this study, we examine this requirement by looking at the errors on the encoded state. In order to quantitatively analyze the errors in an OQEC code, we introduce a measure of the fidelity between the encoded information in two states for the case of subsystem encoding. A major part of the paper concerns the definition of the measure and the derivation of its properties. In contrast to what was previously believed, we obtain that more restrictive conditions are not necessary neither for DFSs nor for general OQEC codes. This is because the effective noise that can arise inside the code as a result of imperfect initialization is such that it can only increase the fidelity of an imperfectly encoded state with a perfectly encoded one.

description: We introduce a first order description of linearized non-minimal ($n=-1$) supergravity in superspace, using the unconstrained prepotential superfield instead of the conventionally constrained super one forms. In this description, after integrating out the connection-like auxiliary superfield of first-order formalism, the superspace action is expressed in terms of a single superfield which combines the prepotential and compensator superfields. We use this description to construct the supersymmetric cubic interaction vertex $3/2-3/2-1/2$ which describes the electromagnetic interaction between two non-minimal supergravity multiplets (superspin $\textsf{Y}=3/2$ which contains a spin 2 and a spin 3/2 particles) and a vector multiplet (superspin $\textsf{Y}=1/2$ contains a spin 1 and a spin 1/2 particles). Exploring the trivial symmetries emerging between the two $\textsf{Y}=3/2$ supermultiplets, we show that this cubic vertex must depend on the vector multiplet superfield strength. This result generalize previous results for non-supersymmetric electromagnetic interactions of spin 2 particles. The constructed cubic interaction generates non-trivial deformations of the gauge transformations.

description: Over-crowding in Emergency Departments (EDs) generates potential inefficiencies. Using regional administrative data, we investigate the impact of an increase in the accessibility of primary care on ED visits in Italy. We test whether extending practice opening hours up to 12 hours/day reduces inappropriate ED visits. We estimate count data models, considering different measures for ED visits recorded at the list level. Since the extension programme is voluntary, we also account for the potential endogeneity of participation, using a two-stage residual inclusion and a GMM approach. Our results show that improving primary care accessibility favours a more appropriate use of EDs.

description: We present a novel tool BertRLFuzzer, a BERT and Reinforcement Learning (RL) based fuzzer aimed at finding security vulnerabilities for Web applications. BertRLFuzzer works as follows: given a set of seed inputs, the fuzzer performs grammar-adhering and attack-provoking mutation operations on them to generate candidate attack vectors. The key insight of BertRLFuzzer is the use of RL with a BERT model as an agent to guide the fuzzer to efficiently learn grammar-adhering and attack-provoking mutation operators. In order to establish the efficacy of BertRLFuzzer we compare it against a total of 13 black box and white box fuzzers over a benchmark of 9 victim websites with over 16K LOC. We observed a significant improvement relative to the nearest competing tool in terms of time to first attack (54% less), new vulnerabilities found (17 new vulnerabilities), and attack rate (4.4% more attack vectors generated).

description: The performance of modern electronics is associated with the multi-layered interconnects, encouraging the development of a low-k dielectrics. Herein, we studied the effects of phase transition from crystalline to amorphous on dielectric, optical and electrical properties of MIL-100 (Fe) and Basolite F300 metal-organic framework (MOF) obtained using different synthesis techniques in both the radio (4-1.5 MHz) and infrared (1.2-150 THz) frequency regimes, which are important for the microelectronics, infrared optical sensors, and high-frequency telecommunications. The impact of amorphization on broadband dielectric response was established based on: (1) The comparison in the dielectric characteristics of a commercially available amorphous Basolite F300 versus a mechanochemically synthesized crystalline MIL-100 in the MHz region. (2) By tracking the frequency shifts in the vibrational modes of MIL-100 structure in the far-IR (phonons) and mid-IR regions. We showed that various parameters such as pelleting pressure, temperature, frequency, density, and degree of amorphization greatly affect the dielectric properties of the framework. We also investigated the influence of temperature (20-100 °C) on the electric and dielectric response in the MHz region, crucial for all electronic devices.

Assigning persistent identifiers to art and design entities

description: Persistent Identifier (PIDs) are a necessary tool to assure referenceability and - as their name says - identifiability in a bi-unique manner upon which further mechanisms can be built upon, e.g. citability to mention only the probably most important one. Their persistence is a real added value compared to the cool URIs of the Linked Data approach which is not in opposition to a joint use of both PIDs and Linked Data.

Currently, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is prominently used in Switzerland, which is attributed since 2010 by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich (ETH). The PID service is used for documents and data and only free of charge for the scientists working for the ETH; a constraint which can be seen for the inhibited use of the service.

For this reason, ICOPAD (= Identités de confiance pour les données de l’art et du design) started in 2017 to reflect on a suitable PID model for the Swiss scientific landscape, specifying all necessary requirements and workflows with a Linked Open Data (LOD) perspective.

ICOPAD is a joint project between four Swiss institutions (namely the HEG Geneva as instigator and managing authority; SIK-ISEA, the Zurich Central Library as well as the Zurich School of Art and Design) who already worked together successfully in a previous project on Linked Data for Art and Design in Zurich (LOD-Z). The goal of ICOPAD is to work out all details underlying the need to loosen the dependency from cool URIs and to give an exemplary showcase that proves the structural feasibility of this approach dedicated to the disciplines of art, design, and digital humanities.

After the period of data exploration, a modelling process started with the axiom-like assertion that the DOI-only approach followed so far in Switzerland is not sufficient which lead to the conclusion that a complement must be found. It was decided to opt for a solution that combines both approaches and creates a link both to the cool URIs of the Linked Data world as well as to all other PIDs.

For this purpose, we use an ab initio theory suitable for optical strong-field problems. Its results are interpreted in terms of a three-level model. On the Ne 1s --> 3p resonance, we find electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) for x rays. Our work opens novel perspectives for ultrafast x-ray pulse shaping.

description: We conduct one-dimensional stellar evolution simulations in the mass range $13-20 M_{\odot}$ to late core collapse times and find that an inner vigorous convective zone with large specific angular momentum fluctuations appears at the edge of the iron core during the collapse. The compression of this zone during the collapse increases the luminosity there and the convective velocities, such that the specific angular momentum fluctuations are of the order of j_{conv}~5x10^15cm^2/sec. If we consider that three-dimensional simulations show convective velocities that are three to four times larger than what the mixing length theory gives, and that the spiral standing accretion shock instability in the post-shock region of the stalled shock at a radius of ~100km amplify perturbations, we conclude that the fluctuations that develop during core collapse are likely to lead to stochastic (intermittent) accretion disks around the newly born neutron star. In reaching this conclusion we also make two basic assumptions with uncertainties that we discuss. Such intermittent disks can launch jets that explode the star in the frame of the jittering jets explosion mechanism.

description: We introduce a new general concept of surrogate random variable, the ``surrogate by exchangeability'' that allows to study the class of random variables that can be decomposed by means of an independent randomisation.
 As an example, we treat the case of the Curie-Weiss model using the explicit construction of its De Finetti measure of exchangeability. Writing the magnetisation as a sum of i.i.d.'s randomised by the underlying De Finetti random variable, the surrogate study shows that the appearance of a phase transition can be understood as a competition between these two sources of randomness, the Gaussian regime corresponding to a marginally relevant disordered system.

description: All 21-cm signal experiments rely on electronic receivers that affect the data via both multiplicative and additive biases through the receiver's gain and noise temperature. While experiments attempt to remove these biases, the residuals of their imperfect calibration techniques can still confuse signal extraction algorithms. In this paper, the fourth and final installment of our pipeline series, we present a technique for fitting out receiver effects as efficiently as possible. The fact that the gain and global signal, which are multiplied in the observation equation, must both be modeled implies that the model of the data is nonlinear in its parameters, making numerical sampling the only way to explore the parameter distribution rigorously. However, multi-spectra fits, which are necessary to extract the signal confidently as demonstrated in the third paper of the series, often require large numbers of foreground parameters, increasing the dimension of the posterior distribution that must be explored and therefore causing numerical sampling inefficiencies. Building upon techniques in the second paper of the series, we outline a method to explore the full parameter distribution by numerically sampling a small subset of the parameters and analytically marginalizing over the others. We test this method in simulation using a type-I Chebyshev band-pass filter gain model and a fast signal model based on a spline between local extrema. The method works efficiently, converging quickly to the posterior signal parameter distribution. The final signal uncertainties are of the same order as the noise in the data.

description: We study the fuzzy spaces (as special examples of noncommutative manifolds) with their quasicoherent states in order to find their pertinent metrics. We show that they are naturally endowed with two natural "quantum metrics" which are associated with quantum fluctuations of "paths". The first one provides the length the mean path whereas the second one provides the average length of the fluctuated paths. Onto the classical manifold associated with the quasicoherent state (manifold of the mean values of the coordinate observables in the state minimising their quantum uncertainties) these two metrics provides two minimising geodesic equations. Moreover, fuzzy spaces being not torsion free, we have also two different autoparallel geodesic equations associated with two different adiabatic regimes in the move of a probe onto the fuzzy space. We apply these mathematical results to quantum gravity in BFSS matrix models, and to the quantum information theory of a controlled qubit submitted to noises of a large quantum environment.
Interference in Bohmian Mechanics with Complex Action

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In recent years, intensive effort has gone into developing numerical tools for exact quantum mechanical calculations that are based on Bohmian mechanics. As part of this effort we have recently developed as alternative formulation of Bohmian mechanics in which the quantum action, S, is taken to be complex [JCP {125}, 231103 (2006)]. In the alternative formulation there is a significant reduction in the magnitude of the quantum force as compared with the conventional Bohmian formulation, at the price of propagating complex trajectories. In this paper we show that Bohmian mechanics with complex action is able to overcome the main computational limitation of conventional Bohmian methods -- the propagation of wavefunctions once nodes set in. In the vicinity of nodes, the quantum force in conventional Bohmian formulations exhibits rapid oscillations that pose severe difficulties for existing numerical schemes. We show that within complex Bohmian mechanics, multiple complex initial conditions can lead to the same real final position, allowing for the description of nodes as a sum of the contribution from two or more crossing trajectories. The idea is illustrated on the reflection amplitude from a one-dimensional Eckart barrier. We believe that trajectory crossing, although in contradiction to the conventional Bohmian trajectory interpretation, provides an important new tool for dealing with the nodal problem in Bohmian methods.

Class and state in the Canadian petroleum industry
Creators: name: Wake, Drew Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis outlines the changes that took place in the Canadian petroleum industry between the years 1947 and 1965. Beginning with the first discovery of oil at Leduc, it follows the development of oil and natural gas as they are integrated as staples into the North American market. The thesis delineates alterations in the class structure of the industry during this period and examines the role that the federal and provincial government's played in this process. The thesis concludes that the class structure of the Canadian petroleum industry became more complex and fragmented in the post'-Leduc era. The foreign-based, integrated companies, because they had superior access to capital, expertise and technology, became the strongest segment of the industry, absorbing many of the Canadian companies. The non-integrated, foreign companies did not meet with great success. Other companies flourished because of their ownership of mineral rights or their relationship with foreign investment companies. The federal state played a fundamental role in the development of the petroleum industry through tax policies that gave incentives to foreign, particularly American, investors and through an export policy that favoured the import/export patterns of the foreign, integrated companies. The provincial government assisted the growth of the same segment of the industry by creating mineral rights policies that favoured well-capitalized firms.

In this context, in Entropy 2019, 21, 705, a formalism aiming at describing macroscopic quantum fields, dubbed Reduced State of the Field (RSF), was envisaged. While, in the original work, a proper notion of entropy for macroscopic fields, together with their dynamical equations, was derived, here, we expand thermodynamic analysis of the RSF, discussing the notion of heat, solving dynamical equations in various regimes of interest, and showing the thermodynamic implications of these solutions.

description: Distribution-to-Distribution (D2D) point cloud registration algorithms are fast, interpretable, and perform well in unstructured environments. Unfortunately, existing strategies for predicting solution error for these methods are overly optimistic, particularly in regions containing large or extended physical objects. In this paper we introduce the Iterative Closest Ellipsoidal Transform (ICET), a novel 3D LIDAR scan-matching algorithm that re-envisions NDT in order to provide robust accuracy prediction from first principles. Like NDT, ICET subdivides a LIDAR scan into voxels in order to analyze complex scenes by considering many smaller local point distributions, however, ICET assesses the voxel distribution to distinguish random noise from deterministic structure. ICET then uses a weighted least-squares formulation to incorporate this noise/structure distinction into computing a localization solution and predicting the solution-error covariance. In order to demonstrate the reasonableness of our accuracy predictions, we verify 3D ICET in three LIDAR tests involving real-world automotive data, high-fidelity simulated trajectories, and simulated corner-case scenes. For each test, ICET consistently performs scan matching with sub-centimeter accuracy. This level of accuracy, combined with the fact that the algorithm is fully interpretable, make it well suited for safety-critical transportation applications.

description: The amdlib AMBER data reduction software is meant to produce AMBER data products from the raw data files that are sent to the PIs of different proposals or that can be found in the ESO data archive. The way defined by ESO to calibrate the data is to calibrate one science data file with a calibration one, observed as close in time as possible. Therefore, this scheme does not take into account instrumental drifts, atmospheric variations or visibility-loss corrections, in the current AMBER data processing software, amdlib. In this article, we present our approach to complement this default calibration scheme, to perform the final steps of data reduction, and to produce fully calibrated AMBER data products. These additional steps include: an overnight view of the data structure and data quality, the production of night transfer functions from the calibration stars observed during the night, the correction of additional effects not taken into account in the standard AMBER data reduction software such as the so-called "jitter" effect and the visibility spectral coherence loss, and finally, the production of fully calibrated data products. All these new features are beeing implemented in the modular pipeline script amdlibPipeline, written to complement the amdlib software.

We use a semi-analytic approach to probe the dipole response and further compare the results obtained from a post form finite-range distorted wave Born approximation theory of Coulomb breakup. The effects of deformation are figured out on the peak positions of the electric dipole strength distribution which further constraint the one-neutron separation energy of the deformed projectile and it leads to a two-dimensional scaling of total $B(E1)$ strength with parameters: separation energy and deformation.

description: Cet article examine les défis sécuritaires et leur impact sur l'accès à l'éducation dans la région de Mopti, au centre du Mali, juste avant la rentrée scolaire 2023-2024. Malgré une infrastructure éducative substantielle, la région fait face à des défis majeurs liés à la sécurité et aux conditions socio-économiques, influant directement sur l'accès à l'éducation, particulièrement dans les écoles primaires. L'étude révèle que 25,58% des écoles sont fermées à cause de l'insécurité, du manque de ressources, et de problèmes sanitaires et alimentaires, entraînant un haut taux d'absentéisme et de déscolarisation. L'étude présente des cas spécifiques et couvre 24 communes réparties dans 8 cercles de la région. Alors que les écoles fondamentales sont gravement affectées, les établissements secondaires semblent moins impactés grâce à leur emplacement et à une meilleure sécurisation. L’article souligne l’urgence d’agir face à la dégradation des infrastructures éducatives et aux disparités de scolarisation, en particulier parmi les filles. Il conclut sur la nécessité d'une stratégie globale pour rétablir la sécurité et favoriser un développement durable et inclusif, garantissant ainsi un accès équitable à l'éducation pour tous les enfants de la région.

The protection of the latter, in fact, according to the Constitutional Court itself, should represent the primary purpose of the requested legislative intervention.  Indeed, it is precisely the ratio of the right of anonymity that should represent the starting point to verify the consistency of the readings offered by the jurisprudence regarding anonymous birth and to consider, in a de iure condendo perspective, the forecast of the new ruling institute.

description: We recently found the globular cluster (GC) EXT8 in M31 to have an extremely low metallicity of [Fe/H]=-2.91+/-0.04 using high-resolution spectroscopy. Here we present a colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) for EXT8, obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Compared with the CMDs of metal-poor Galactic GCs, we find that the upper red giant branch (RGB) of EXT8 is about 0.03 mag bluer in F606W-F814W and slightly steeper, as expected from the low spectroscopic metallicity. The observed colour spread on the upper RGB is consistent with being caused entirely by the measurement uncertainties, and we place an upper limit of sigma(F606W-F814W)=0.015 mag on any intrinsic colour spread. The corresponding metallicity spread can be up to sigma([Fe/H])=0.2 dex or >0.7 dex, depending on the isochrone library adopted. The horizontal branch (HB) is located mostly on the blue side of the instability strip and has a tail extending to at least M(F606W)=+3, as in the Galactic GC M15. We identify two candidate RR Lyrae variables and several UV-luminous post-HB/post AGB star candidates, including one very bright (M(F300X)=-3.2) source near the centre of EXT8. The surface brightness of EXT8 out to a radius of 25 arcsec is well fitted by a Wilson-type profile with an ellipticity of epsilon=0.20, a semi-major axis core radius of 0.25", and a central surface brightness of 15.2 mag per square arcsec in the F606W band, with no evidence of extra-tidal structure. Overall, EXT8 has properties consistent with it being a "normal", but very metal-poor GC, and its combination of relatively high mass and very low metallicity thus remains challenging to explain in the context of GC formation theories operating within the hierarchical galaxy assembly paradigm.

description: A fundamental feature of galaxies is their structure, yet we are just now understanding the evolution of structural properties in quantitative ways. As such, we explore the quantitative non-parametric structural evolution of 16,778 galaxies up to $z\sim3$ in all five CANDELS fields, the largest collection of high resolution images of distant galaxies to date. Our goal is to investigate how the structure, as opposed to size, surface brightness, or mass, changes with time. In particular, we investigate how the concentration and asymmetry of light evolve in the rest-frame optical. To interpret our galaxy structure measurements, we also run and analyse 300 simulation realisations from IllustrisTNG to determine the timescale of mergers for the CAS system. We measure that from $z=0-3$, the median asymmetry merger timescale is $0.56^{+0.23}_{-0.18}$Gyr, and find it does not vary with redshift. Using this data, we find that galaxies become progressively asymmetric at a given mass at higher redshifts and we derive merger rates which scale as $\sim(1+z)^{1.87\pm0.04}$Gyr$^{-1}$, which agrees well with recent machine learning and galaxy pair approaches, removing previous inconsistencies. We also show that far-infrared selected galaxies that are invisible to \textit{HST} have a negligible effect on our measurements. We also find that galaxies are more concentrated at higher redshifts. We interpret this as a sign of how their formation occurs from a smaller initial galaxy that later grows into a larger one through mergers, consistent with the size growth of galaxies from `inside-out', suggesting that the centres are the oldest parts of most galaxies.

description: Using 324 numerically modelled galaxy clusters as provided by THE THREE HUNDRED project, we study the evolution of the kinematic properties of the stellar component of haloes on first infall. We select objects with M$_{\textrm{star}}>5\times10^{10} h^{-1}M_{\odot}$ within $3R_{200}$ of the main cluster halo at $z=0$ and follow their progenitors. We find that although haloes are stripped of their dark matter and gas after entering the main cluster halo, there is practically no change in their stellar kinematics. For the vast majority of our `galaxies' -- defined as the central stellar component found within the haloes that form our sample -- their kinematic properties, as described by the fraction of ordered rotation, and their position in the specific stellar angular momentum$-$stellar mass plane $j_{\rm star}$ -- M$_{\rm star}$, are mostly unchanged by the influence of the central host cluster. However, for a small number of infalling galaxies, stellar mergers and encounters with remnant stellar cores close to the centre of the main cluster, particularly during pericentre passage, are able to spin-up their stellar component by $z=0$.

description: The initial motivation of this work was to give a topological interpretation of two-periodic twisted de-Rham cohomology which is generalizable to arbitrary coefficients. To this end we develop a sheaf theory in the context of locally compact topological stacks with emphasis on the construction of the sheaf theory operations in unbounded derived categories, elements of Verdier duality and integration. The main result is the construction of a functorial periodization functor associated to a U(1)-gerbe. As applications we verify the $T$-duality isomorphism in periodic twisted cohomology and in periodic twisted orbispace cohomology.

description: Content replication to many destinations is a common use case in the Internet of Things (IoT). The deployment of IP multicast has proven inefficient, though, due to its lack of layer-2 support by common IoT radio technologies and its synchronous end-to-end transmission, which is highly susceptible to interference. Information-centric networking (ICN) introduced hop-wise multi-party dissemination of cacheable content, which has proven valuable in particular for low-power lossy networking regimes. Even NDN, however, the most prominent ICN protocol, suffers from a lack of deployment. In this paper, we explore how multiparty content distribution in an information-centric Web of Things (WoT) can be built on CoAP. We augment the CoAP proxy by request aggregation and response replication functions, which together with proxy caches enable asynchronous group communication. In a further step, we integrate content object security with OSCORE into the CoAP multicast proxy system, which enables ubiquitous caching of certified authentic content. In our evaluation, we compare NDN with different deployment models of CoAP, including our data-centric approach in realistic testbed experiments. Our findings indicate that multiparty content distribution based on CoAP proxies performs equally well as NDN, while remaining fully compatible with the established IoT protocol world of CoAP on the Internet.

description: Quantum computers offer an intriguing path for a paradigmatic change of computing in the natural sciences and beyond, with the potential for achieving a so-called quantum advantage, namely a significant (in some cases exponential) speed-up of numerical simulations. The rapid development of hardware devices with various realizations of qubits enables the execution of small scale but representative applications on quantum computers. In particular, the high-energy physics community plays a pivotal role in accessing the power of quantum computing, since the field is a driving source for challenging computational problems. This concerns, on the theoretical side, the exploration of models which are very hard or even impossible to address with classical techniques and, on the experimental side, the enormous data challenge of newly emerging experiments, such as the upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. In this roadmap paper, led by CERN, DESY and IBM, we provide the status of high-energy physics quantum computations and give examples for theoretical and experimental target benchmark applications, which can be addressed in the near future. Having the IBM 100 x 100 challenge in mind, where possible, we also provide resource estimates for the examples given using error mitigated quantum computing.
