description: Im Gegensatz zu anderen, im schulischen Kontext verhandelten Führungsstilen wie beispielsweise unterrichtsbezogene Führung (Instructional Leadership), die oftmals bestimmte Aspekte von Führung (z. B. Unterricht oder Transformation) und bestimmte Personengruppen (typischerweise Schulleitungen) fokussieren, nimmt Leadership for Learning das Lernen der Schülerinnen und Schüler in den Blick und beschränkt sich nicht auf die Schulleitung als zentrale Personengruppe. Während der Ansatz hauptsächlich im anglophonen Raum diskutiert wird, gab es jedoch in den letzten Jahren auch vermehrt Beiträge aus deutschsprachigen Ländern (Rößler und Schratz 2018; Tulowitzki, Pietsch und Spillane 2021; Tulowitzki und Pietsch 2020). Gleichwohl mangelt es im deutschsprachigen Raum an empirischen Untersuchungen zu Leadership for Learning. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags soll der Versuch unternommen werden, das Leadership-for-Learning-Konzept auf den Kontext der Digitalisierung von Schule anzuwenden und zu analysieren, inwiefern zentrale Merkmale dieses Leitungskonzepts in Schulen in Deutschland identifiziert werden können, wenn es um das Lehren und Lernen mit digitalen Medien geht. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im Rahmen dieses Beitrags die folgende Fragestellung verfolgt: Lassen sich an die fünf Leadership-for-Learning-Prinzipien angelehnte digitalisierungsbezogene Aktivitäten identifizieren, welche Schulleitungen in Deutschland in Schulen der Sekundarstufe I ausüben? Zu diesem Zweck werden Sekundäranalysen von Items aus der Studie ICILS 2018 durchgeführt, die sich am theoretischen Rahmenmodell der Studie orientieren und im Hintergrundfragebogen für die Schulleitung erhoben wurden.

description: The APPLICATE project releases its second case study that describes an extreme precipitation event that occurred in Svalbard in November 2016. This event was responsible of several landslides and avalanches. We try to illustrate how a better understanding of weather and climate information could improve the preparedness of local populations to deal with events that can be catastrophic, keeping in mind that adaptations that settlements and the environment in Svalbard would demand could set the scene for the rest of the globe. At the same time, this case study also contributes to understanding the linkages between the Arctic and mid-latitudes. The document is mainly addressed to decision-makers, especially those working in the areas of civil protection and preparedness (e.g. avalanche warnings, preparation for possible perils, adaptation measures implemented as response to a past event) and it can also be of interest for governmental bodies such as the Governor of Svalbard. In addition, it can be extended to other sectors including urban planning (e.g delimitation of risk zones for landslides and avalanches, wildlife protection (e.g. prediction of rain-on-snow events resulting in ice-encrusted pastures and reindeer mass starvation), agriculture (e.g. ice-encrusted crops and mould formation), tourism (e.g. planning of leisure activities like snow-mobile driving, dog-sledging, hiking, etc. and account for activity changes or cancellations) or health (e.g. psychological challenges coming with climate changes).

An $A_4$ realization of inverse seesaw: neutrino masses, $θ_{13}$ and leptonic non-unitarity

description: We provide an $A_4$ based flavor symmetric scenario to accommodate the inverse seesaw mechanism for explaining light neutrino masses and mixing. We find that the lepton mixing, in particular the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern and its deviation through nonzero $θ_{13}$, is originated solely from the flavor structure of the lepton number violating contribution of the neutral lepton mass matrix. Here we discuss in detail how a nonzero value of $θ_{13}$ is correlated with the other parameters in the framework and its impact on the Dirac CP phase $δ$. We also analyze the non-unitarity effects on lepton mixing matrix and its implication in terms of the lepton flavor violating decays, etc..

description: This paper presents a decentralized leader-follower multi-robot formation control based on a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm applied to a swarm of small educational Sphero robots. Since the basic Q-learning method is known to require large memory resources for Q-tables, this work implements the Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) algorithm, which has achieved excellent results in many robotic problems. To enhance the system behavior, we trained two different DDQN models, one for reaching the formation and the other for maintaining it. The models use a discrete set of robot motions (actions) to adapt the continuous nonlinear system to the discrete nature of RL. The presented approach has been tested in simulation and real experiments which show that the multi-robot system can achieve and maintain a stable formation without the need for complex mathematical models and nonlinear control laws.

Implications of quantum ambiguities in k=1 loop quantum cosmology: distinct quantum turnarounds and the super-Planckian regime

description: The spatially closed Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker model in loop quantum cosmology admits two inequivalent consistent quantizations: one based on expressing the field strength in terms of the holonomies over closed loops, and, another using a connection operator and open holonomies. Using the effective dynamics, we investigate the phenomenological differences between the two quantizations for the single fluid and the two fluid scenarios with various equations of state, including the phantom matter. We show that a striking difference between the two quantizations is the existence of two distinct quantum turnarounds, either bounces or recollapses, in the connection quantization, in contrast to a single distinct quantum bounce or a recollapse in the holonomy quantization. These results generalize an earlier result on the existence of two distinct quantum bounces for stiff matter by Corichi and Karami. However, we find that in certain situations two distinct quantum turnarounds can become virtually indistinguishable. And depending on the initial conditions, a pure quantum cyclic universe can also exist undergoing a quantum bounce and a quantum recollapse. We show that for various equations of states, connection based quantization leads to super-Planckian values of the energy density and the expansion scalar at quantum turnarounds. Interestingly, we find that very extreme energy densities can also occur for the holonomy quantization, breaching the maximum allowed density in the spatially flat loop quantized model. However, the expansion scalar in all these cases is bounded by a universal value.

description: \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} is a low noise CMOS pixel direct charge sensor with a pitch of 83$μm$. CdZnTe is an excellent semiconductor material for radiation detection. The combination of CdZnTe and the sensor makes it possible to build a detector with high spatial resolution. In our experiments, an epoxy adhesive is used as the conductive medium to connect the sensor and Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe). The diffusion coefficient and charge efficiency of electrons are measured at a low bias voltage of -2 Volts, and the image of a single alpha is clear with a reasonable spatial resolution. The detector of such structure has the potential to be applied in X-ray imaging systems with a further improvements of the sensor.

AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF COPING, PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS, SELF-ESTEEM AND PERCEIVED STRESS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC BOWEL DISORDERS
Creators: name: CRATCHLEY, GEORGINA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: This study had 4 aims. The first aim was to explore the relationships between personal control and coping responses in patients with the chronic bowel disorders of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The second aim examined coping in IBS and IBD patients as a process, by focusing on a specific episode of their primary symptoms. The coping profiles of the IBS and IBD patients were compared to establish whether differences in coping between the 2 groups were present. The third aim examined differences between groups and tested for linear trends across IBS, IBD patients and Non-patient controls in relation to anxiety, depression and self-esteem. A supplementary aim was to evaluate whether anxiety in the 3 groups was considered to be clinically significant (i.e. fell above the threshold for "caseness"). The fourth aim tested differences between the 3 groups in perceived stress, as previous findings have been inconclusive. Fifteen IBS patients and 15 IBD patients who attended a Gastroenterology (G.I.) Clinic were interviewed and completed a battery of self-report measures. Fifteen Non-patient controls completed a battery of self-report measures. The data was analysed using Pearson's product moment correlation coefficients for aim 1; profile analysis using MANOVA for aim 2, and one-way between subjects ANOVA's for aims 3 and 4. The research hypotheses were not met, as the results were not statistically significant. However, two post-hoc findings revealed that patients with bowel disorders used equal proportions of problem and emotion-focused coping and these types of coping were significantly positively correlated. The test of flatness within profile analysis was statistically significant which indicated that patients with bowel disorders do not use a "blanket" approach to coping with an episode of their primary symptoms. A percentage of people in each group met the criterion for "caseness" of clinically significant anxiety. The results were evaluated in relation to the research literature and directions for future research were outlined. It was suggested that there might be a subset of patients with bowel disorders who experience clinical anxiety and/or depression and screening in G.I. clinics was recommended.

description: We present systematic and comprehensive correlated-electron calculations of the linear photoabsorption spectra of small neutral closed- and open-shell sodium clusters (Na_{n}, n=2-6), as well as closed-shell cation clusters (Na_{n}^{+}, n=3, 5). We have employed the configuration interaction (CI) methodology at the full CI (FCI) and quadruple CI (QCI) levels to compute the ground, and the low-lying excited states of the clusters. For most clusters, besides the minimum energy structures, we also consider their energetically close isomers. The photoabsorption spectra were computed under the electric-dipole approximation, employing the dipole-matrix elements connecting the ground state with the excited states of each isomer. Our calculations were tested rigorously for convergence with respect to the basis set, as well as with respect to the size of the active orbital space employed in the CI calculations. These calculations reveal that as far as electron-correlation effects are concerned, core excitations play an important role in determining the optimized ground state geometries of various clusters, thereby requiring all-electron correlated calculations. But, when it comes to low-lying optical excitations, only valence electron correlation effects play an important role, and excellent agreement with the experimental results is obtained within the frozen-core approximation. For the case of Na_{6}, the largest cluster studied in this work, we also discuss the possibility of occurrence of plasmonic resonance in the optical absorption spectrum.

description: We unveil the dynamics of four dimensional chiral gauge-Yukawa theories featuring several scalar degrees of freedom transforming according to distinct representations of the underlying gauge group. We consider generalized Georgi-Glashow and Bars-Yankielowicz theories. We determine, to the maximum known order in perturbation theory, the phase diagram of these theories and further disentangle their ultraviolet asymptotic nature according to whether they are asymptotically free or safe. We therefore extend the number of theories that are known to be fundamental in the Wilsonian sense to the case of chiral gauge theories with scalars.

Toward this target, we develop a high-performance compact single-photon detector based on a 4H-SiC single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), where a tailored readout circuit with active hold-off time is designed to restrain detector noise and operate the SPAD in free-running mode. We use structured illumination to reconstruct 192$\times$192 compressed images at a 4 fps frame rate. To show the superior capability of ultraviolet characteristics, we use our single-pixel imaging system to identify and distinguish different transparent objects under low-intensity irradiation, and image ultraviolet light sources. The results provide a practical solution for general ultraviolet imaging applications.

TIME WELL SPENT: MODELLING EDUCATION AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES OF JUNIOR DOCTORS UNDER THE EUROPEAN WORKING TIME DIRECTIVE
Creators: name: DERRICK, SONJA ANNA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2009

description: A number of professional groups face the conflict of providing a service to their organisation as a whole, and wider to its clients, while continuing to develop their skills and knowledge professionally, in order to be able to perform effectively in their current role as well as future ones, within a certain amount of time available to them. The introduction of reduced-hours legislation under the European Working Time Directive for junior doctors has posed an organisational problem for NHS Trusts in the UK, who need to reconcile the training and service needs of the profession and the service within the more confined resource of time. This research has identified a distinct lack of clarification of the concepts of training and service in the literature, and no understanding of how these are linked to the activities that junior doctors participate, nor to the working system in which they exist. It uses a constructivist mixed method approach to exploring what is meant by training and service, how this is linked to the operational day-to-day activities in the working lives of junior doctors and how changes in these working and training practices affect the nature and type of service and training activity for the medical workforce and organisational system as a whole. Its contributions to knowledge are multifaceted, ranging from the contributions to exploring the concepts of "training" and "service" and how they relate to activity, an understanding of the system, Its entities and relationships, as well as a new application of a business modelling technique. While it uses junior doctors at Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust as the specific area for study, Its findings are generalisable to the organisational context of other NHS Trusts, as well as other professional groups.

description: The study of the iron-based superconductor, FeSe, has resulted in various topics, such as the interplay among superconductivity, nematicity, and magnetism, Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Bose-Einstein-condensation (BCS-BEC) crossover, and Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconductivity. Recently, topologically protected nodal Fermi surfaces, referred to as Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces (BFSs), have garnered much attention. A theoretical model for the S-substituted FeSe system demonstrated that BFSs can manifest under the conditions of spin-orbit coupling, multi-band systems, and superconductivity with time-reversal symmetry breaking. Here we report the observation of spin fluctuations originating from BFSs in the superconducting (SC) state via $^{77}$Se-nuclear magnetic resonance measurements to 100 mK. In a heavily S-substituted FeSe, we found an anomalous enhancement of low-energy spin fluctuations deep in the SC state, which cannot be explained by an impurity effect. Such unusual behavior implies the presence of significant spin fluctuations of Bogoliubov quasiparticles, which are associated with possible nesting properties between BFSs.

description: The non-linear relationship between the monochromatic X-ray and UV luminosities in quasars offers the possibility of using high-z quasars as standard candles for cosmological testing. In this paper, we use a high-quality catalog of 1598 quasars extending to redshift 6, to compare the flat and uniformly expanding cosmological model, $R_h$ = ct and $Λ$CDM cosmological models which are the most debated. The quasar samples are mainly from the XMM-Newton and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The final result is that the Akaike Information Criterion favors $Λ$CDM over $R_h$=ct with a relative probability of 86.30% versus 13.70%.

description: We study domain walls which can be created in the Standard Model under the assumption that it is valid up to very high energy scales. We focus on domain walls interpolating between the physical electroweak vacuum and the global minimum appearing at very high field strengths. The creation of the network which ends up in the electroweak vacuum percolating through the Universe is not as difficult to obtain as one may expect, although it requires certain tuning of initial conditions. Our numerical simulations confirm that such domain walls would swiftly decay and thus cannot dominate the Universe. We discuss the possibility of detection of gravitational waves produced in this scenario. We have found that for the standard cosmology the energy density of these gravitational waves is too small to be observed in present and planned detectors.

Statistical ensembles and logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy
Creators: name: Ghosh, Aritra
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we consider general statistical ensembles and compute logarithmic corrections to the microcanonical entropy resulting due to thermodynamic fluctuations which are controlled by the boundary conditions, i.e. due to choice of ensemble. The framework is applied to the case of non-extremal black holes to give certain logarithmic corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. We argue that within the framework of black hole chemistry, where the cosmological constant is identified with bulk pressure, the isoenthalpic-isobaric entropy rather than microcanonical entropy carries a more natural and consistent thermodynamic interpretation as black hole entropy. Logarithmic corrections to both microcanonical and isoenthalpic-isobaric entropies of black holes are computed, and we show that the latter set of corrections in black hole chemistry are of the same form as corrections to the microcanonical entropy in theories where the cosmological constant is not interpreted as a thermodynamic pressure. Finally, we compute logarithmic corrections to entropy in the framework of holographic black hole chemistry. We emphasize upon the choice of statistical ensemble, both in the bulk and on the boundary, in order to have a consistent comparison between them. The corrections studied in this paper are distinct from those obtained from Euclidean quantum gravity.
PEDESTRIANISATION IN PLYMOUTH: THE EFFECT ON CAR USERS' ACCESSIBILITY TO AND WITHIN THE TRAFFIC FREE ZONE

description: Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/1905 on 28.02.2017 by CS (TIS)
description: When pedestrianisation was introduced in Plymouth, in February 1987,, there were two important physical changes to the city centre; environment changes and accessibility changes. Environmentally, the city centre was improved aesthetically and also in terms of safety for pedestrians,, less congestion, and ease of movement within the traffic free zone. The process of pedestrianisation initially reduced the accessibility of the city centre, particularly for car users, because the scheme removed nearly all the on-street parking meters together with two small short stay car parks. This caused a temporary reduction in car parking facilities, and the replacement facilities, completed in late 1988, were located at longer walking distances from the shops. Car users' access to the car parks and from the car parks to the shops was therefore changed. Previous experience in other cities has shown that accessibility to newly pedestrianised areas is of paramount importance and in Plymouth this was particularly evident when car users' accessibility problem became the most controversial aspect of the scheme. Conventional methods of appraising the success or otherwise of pedestrianisation schemes have tended to concentrate on commercial indicators such as trade turnover or on the acceptance of the scheme measured by studying peoples'attitudes and opinions. This research develops a conceptual and operational model that looks predominantly at the behaviour of the city centre users and which focuses on the particular problem experienced in the city, namely the changes in accessibility for the car user. The methodology examines the car users' travel, parking and shopping behaviour at three stages of the city centre's development; before pedestrianisation was introduced, during it s construction and after it s completion. The research was therefore able to discover how people adapted their behaviour in response to the changes in the city. The research found that many car users adopted a more leisurely approach to visiting the city centre, reflecting it s new image of a recreational as well as a retail shopping centre. Attitudes towards pedestrianisation also changed significantly during the survey period, and were found to be strongly related to respondents' experiences and perceptions of the parking facilities.
title:  Negazione. Il negativo tra rimozione e coscienza

description: L’inquietudine derivante dal Coronavirus è primariamente angoscia di morte, di catastrofe, di perdita di noi stessi e degli altri. Ci troviamo in un continuo stato di allarme di fronte ad un nemico invisibile e perturbante. Per uscire da questo stato di tensione possono scattare quei meccanismi di difesa a cui l’uomo può fare ricorso quando la realtà esterna o interna non lo soddisfa e su cui si fonda il fenomeno che oggi chiamiamo “negazione” o “negazionismo”. Per cercare di comprendere il senso profondo di questa negazione della realtà e del conseguente rifiuto dei dati che la scienza e la ragione ci presentano è utile fare riferimento al saggio freudiano del 1925, Die Verneinung, sul meccanismo della negazione. La negazione è definita in maniera duplice: come ricusazione psicologica di un contenuto rimosso e come negazione logica che è parte del giudizio. L’atteggiamento del negativismo odierno richiama il primo livello della Verneinung, la “denegazione”, ovvero il rifiuto, originato da uno stato emotivo di grande ansia e paura che, respingendo il problema e tutte le sue implicazioni a livello razionale,  si manifesta esclusivamente in forma negativa.

The anxiety arising from the Coronavirus is primarily fear of death, of catastrophe, of loss of ourselves and others. We are in a state of constant alarm in presence of an invisible and disturbing enemy. In order to get out of this state of tension, defence mechanisms can be triggered. They can be used by people when external or internal reality is not satisfactory, and are the basis of the phenomenon we now call ‘denial’ or ‘denialism’.  Trying to understand the profound meaning of this denial of reality and the consequent rejection of scientific and reasoning data, it is useful to refer to Freud’s 1925 essay Die Verneinung, on the mechanism of denial. Denial is defined in two ways: as a psychological rejection of a repressed content and as a logical denial that is part of judgement. The attitude of today’s negativism recalls the first level of Verneinung, the “denial”, originated from an emotional state of great anxiety and fear which, rejecting the problem and all its implications on a rational level, manifests itself exclusively in a negative form.

description: We present full volume cosmological simulations using the moving-mesh code AREPO to study the coevolution of dust and galaxies. We extend the dust model in AREPO to include thermal sputtering of grains and investigate the evolution of the dust mass function, the cosmic distribution of dust beyond the interstellar medium, and the dependence of dust-to-stellar mass ratio on galactic properties. The simulated dust mass function is well-described by a Schechter fit and lies closest to observations at $z = 0$. The radial scaling of projected dust surface density out to distances of $10 \, \text{Mpc}$ around galaxies with magnitudes $17 < i < 21$ is similar to that seen in Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, albeit with a lower normalisation. At $z = 0$, the predicted dust density of $Ω_\text{dust} \approx 1.3 \times 10^{-6}$ lies in the range of $Ω_\text{dust}$ values seen in low-redshift observations. We find that dust-to-stellar mass ratio anti-correlates with stellar mass for galaxies living along the star formation main sequence. Moreover, we estimate the $850 \, μ\text{m}$ number density functions for simulated galaxies and analyse the relation between dust-to-stellar flux and mass ratios at $z = 0$. At high redshift, our model fails to produce enough dust-rich galaxies, and this tension is not alleviated by adopting a top-heavy initial mass function. We do not capture a decline in $Ω_\text{dust}$ from $z = 2$ to $z = 0$, which suggests that dust production mechanisms more strongly dependent on star formation may help to produce the observed number of dusty galaxies near the peak of cosmic star formation.

description: Based on a novel laboratory method, 14 mm-wave lines of the molecular ion H$_2$CCCH$^+$ have been measured in high resolution, and the spectroscopic constants of this asymmetric rotor determined with high accuracy. Using the Yebes 40 m and IRAM 30 m radio telescopes, we detect four lines of H$_2$CCCH$^+$ towards the cold dense core TMC-1. With a dipole moment of about 0.55 Debye obtained from high-level ab initio calculations, we derive a column density of 5.4$\pm$1$\times$10$^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ and 1.6$\pm$0.5$\times$10$^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ for the ortho and para species, respectively, and an abundance ratio N(H$_2$CCC)/N(H$_2$CCCH$^+$)= 2.8$\pm$0.7. The chemistry of H$_2$CCCH$^+$ is modelled using the most recent chemical network for the reactions involving the formation of H$_2$CCCH$^+$. We find a reasonable agreement between model predictions and observations, and new insights into the chemistry of C$_3$ bearing species in TMC-1 are obtained.

description: The Polyakov$-$Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model has been quite successful in describing various qualitative features of observables for strongly interacting matter, that are measurable in heavy-ion collision experiments. The question still remains on the quantitative uncertainties in the model results. Such an estimation is possible only by contrasting these results with those obtained from first principles using the lattice QCD framework. Recently a variety of lattice QCD data were reported in the realistic continuum limit. Here we make a first attempt at reparametrizing the model so as to reproduce these lattice data. We find excellent quantitative agreement for the equation of state. Certain discrepancies in the charge and strangeness susceptibilities as well as baryon-charge correlation still remain. We discuss their causes and outline possible directions to remove them.

description: Finding or making thermostable enzymes has been identified as an important goal in a number of different industries. Therefore, understanding the features involved in enzyme thermostability is crucial, and different approaches have been used to extract or manufacture thermostable enzymes. Herein we examined features that contribute to the thermostability of 2,946 proteins. We used various screening techniques (anomaly detection, feature selection), clustering methods (K-Means, TwoStep cluster), decision tree models (Classification and Regression Tree, CHAID, Exhaustive CHAID, QUEST, C5.0), and generalized rule induction (association) (GRI) models to search for patterns of thermostability and to find features that contribute to enzyme thermal stability. We found that Arg as the N-terminal amino acid was found solely in proteins working at temperatures higher than 70 ºC. Fifty-four protein features were shown to be important in feature selection modeling, and the number of peer groups with an anomaly index of 2.12 declined from 7 to 2 after being run using only important selected features; however, no changes were found in the numbers of groups when K-Means and TwoStep clustering modeling was performed on datasets with/without feature selection filtering. The depth of the trees generated by various decision tree models varied from 14 (in the C5.0 model with 10-fold cross-validation and with feature selection of the dataset) to 4 (in CHAID models) branches. The performance evaluation of the decision tree models tested here showed that C5.0 was the best and the Quest model was the worst. We did not find any significant difference in the percent of correctness, performance evaluation, and mean correctness of various decision tree models when feature selected datasets were used, but the number of peer groups in clustering models was reduced significantly (p<0.05) compared to datasets without feature selection. In all decision tree models, the frequency of Gln was the most important feature for decision tree rule sets; moreover, in all GRI association rules (100 rules), the frequency of Gln was used in antecedent to support the rules. The importance of Gln in protein thermostability is discussed in this paper.

Cat-state generation and stabilization for a nuclear spin through electric quadrupole interaction

description: Spin cat states are superpositions of two or more coherent spin states (CSSs) that are distinctly separated over the Bloch sphere. Additionally, the nuclei with angular momenta greater than 1/2 possess a quadrupolar charge distribution. At the intersection of these two phenomena, we devise a simple scheme for generating various types of nuclear spin cat states. The native biaxial electric quadrupole interaction that is readily available in strained solid-state systems plays a key role here. However, the fact that built-in strain cannot be switched off poses a challenge for the stabilization of target cat states once they are prepared. We remedy this by abruptly diverting via a single rotation pulse the state evolution to the neighborhood of the fixed points of the underlying classical Hamiltonian flow. Optimal process parameters are obtained as a function of electric field gradient biaxiality and nuclear spin angular momentum. The overall procedure is seen to be robust under 5% deviations from optimal values. We show that higher level cat states with four superposed CSS can also be formed using three rotation pulses. Finally, for open systems subject to decoherence we extract the scaling of cat state fidelity damping with respect to the spin quantum number. This reveals rates greater than the dephasing of individual CSSs. Yet, our results affirm that these cat states can preserve their fidelities for practically useful durations under the currently attainable decoherence levels.

description: The ability to create dynamic deformations of micron-sized structures is relevant to a wide variety of applications such as adaptable optics, soft robotics, and reconfigurable microfluidic devices. In this work we examine non-uniform lubrication flow as a mechanism to create complex deformation fields in an elastic plate. We consider a Kirchoff-Love elasticity model for the plate and Hele-Shaw flow in a narrow gap between the plate and a parallel rigid surface. Based on linearization of the Reynolds equation, we obtain a governing equation which relates elastic deformations to gradients in non-homogenous physical properties of the fluid (e.g. body forces, viscosity, and slip velocity). We then focus on a specific case of non-uniform Helmholtz-Smoluchowski electroosmotic slip velocity, and provide a method for determining the zeta-potential distribution necessary to generate arbitrary static and quasi-static deformations of the elastic plate. Extending the problem to time-dependent solutions, we analyze transient effects on asymptotically static solutions, and finally provide a closed form solution for a Green's function for time periodic actuations.
