description: Abstract and presentation of a featured oral presentation at the Uranium Science Conference 2023 (5-7 July, 2023), Manchester, UK.

---Abstract---

The binary uranium-oxygen system contains numerous single-valence and mixed-valence uranium oxide compounds, spanning over a wide phase field which is defined by the oxygen-to-uranium ratio (O/U) and temperature. Uranium dioxide (UO2), the principal component of commercial nuclear fuel, is nominally associated to the tetravalent uranium state. It is, however, quite susceptible to oxidation and already at room temperature excess oxygen can be accommodated near the unoccupied octahedral sites in its fluorite-type crystal structure. To maintain charge neutrality local changes in the uranium chemical state are induced, resulting in a mixed-valence charge character. At elevated temperatures (above 300 °C) an anion-excess fluorite crystal structure is maintained up to the average composition UO2.25. However, at lower temperatures distinct structural phase transformations occur upon exceeding the limit UO2.03 2.05, resulting in the occurrence of mixed-valence compounds at or near specific O/U ratio values: U4O9-y (O/U ≈ 2.25), U3O7 (O/U = 2.333) and U3O8 (O/U = 2.667).

In the context of nuclear fuel degradation under storage conditions, and in accident scenarios, significant research efforts have been dedicated to an improved, mechanistic understanding of the crystallographic phase relations between these uranium oxide compounds, and the associated evolution in the uranium chemical state [1-3]. While both properties are entangled with each other, most of the commonly employed theoretical and experimental techniques allow to probe one but are more indirect towards to other (e.g. diffraction and spectroscopy) [4,5]. Both properties can, however, be detected in harmony by performing X-ray diffraction in an energy spectrum around a core-level absorption edge, so-called diffraction anomalous fine structure (DAFS). We have recently applied this unique experimental method, relatively unknown in the field of actinide science, on a variety of uranium oxide compounds. In this contribution we will report on the obtained results, using newly developed data analysis approaches in Python and full-pattern refinement treatments.

description: We investigate the acousto-electric transport induced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in epitaxial graphene (EG) coated by a MgO/ZnO film. The deposition of a thin MgO layer protects the EG during the sputtering of a piezoelectric ZnO film for the efficient generation of SAWs. We demonstrate by Raman and electric measurements that the coating does not harm the EG structural and electronic properties. We report the generation of two SAW modes with frequencies around 2 GHz. For both modes, we measure acousto-electric currents in EG devices placed in the SAW propagation path. The currents increase linearly with the SAW power, reaching values up to almost two orders of magnitude higher than in previous reports for acousto-electric transport in EG on SiC. Our results agree with the predictions from the classical relaxation model of the interaction between SAWs and a two dimensional electron gas.

description: How can a multipartite single-photon path-entangled state be certified efficiently by means of local measurements? We address this question by constructing an entanglement witness based on local photon detections preceded by displacement operations to reveal genuine multipartite entanglement. Our witness is defined as a sum of three observables that can be measured locally and assessed with two measurement settings for any number of parties $N$. For any bipartition, the maximum mean value of the witness observable over biseparable states is bounded by the maximum eigenvalue of an $N\times N$ matrix, which can be computed efficiently. We demonstrate the applicability of our scheme by experimentally testing the witness for heralded 4- and 8-partite single-photon path-entangled states. Our implementation shows the scalability of our witness and opens the door for distributing photonic multipartite entanglement in quantum networks at high rates.

description: With the growth of online news over the past decade, empirical studies on political discourse and news consumption have focused on the phenomenon of filter bubbles and echo chambers. Yet recently, scholars have revealed limited evidence around the impact of such phenomenon, leading some to argue that partisan segregation across news audiences cannot be fully explained by online news consumption alone and that the role of traditional legacy media may be as salient in polarizing public discourse around current events. In this work, we expand the scope of analysis to include both online and more traditional media by investigating the relationship between broadcast news media language and social media discourse. By analyzing a decade's worth of closed captions (2 million speaker turns) from CNN and Fox News along with topically corresponding discourse from Twitter, we provide a novel framework for measuring semantic polarization between America's two major broadcast networks to demonstrate how semantic polarization between these outlets has evolved (Study 1), peaked (Study 2) and influenced partisan discussions on Twitter (Study 3) across the last decade. Our results demonstrate a sharp increase in polarization in how topically important keywords are discussed between the two channels, especially after 2016, with overall highest peaks occurring in 2020. The two stations discuss identical topics in drastically distinct contexts in 2020, to the extent that there is barely any linguistic overlap in how identical keywords are contextually discussed. Further, we demonstrate at scale, how such partisan division in broadcast media language significantly shapes semantic polarity trends on Twitter (and vice-versa), empirically linking for the first time, how online discussions are influenced by televised media.

description: Librarian faculty at the University of Michigan Library conducted two studies (a campus-level survey and interviews with faculty authors) regarding local and nuanced faculty attitudes about open access publishing across disciplines and career stages. These studies were performed for the dual purposes of engaging with our academic and clinical faculty to learn how they are impacted by the shift to open access publishing within the scholarly communication landscape, and to incorporate their perspectives into our current and future service planning related to the facilitation of access to scholarly publications. The approaches can be adapted by other institutions for gathering similar information and informing data-based decision making.

description: Recently Peter Keevash solved asymptotically the existence question for Steiner systems by showing that $S(t,k,n)$ exists whenever the necessary divisibility conditions on the parameters are satisfied and $n$ is sufficiently large in terms of $k$ and $t$. The purpose of this paper is to make a conjecture which if true would be a significant extension of Keevash's theorem, and to give some theoretical and computational evidence for the conjecture. We phrase the conjecture in terms of the notions (which we define here) of synchronization and separation for association schemes. These definitions are based on those for permutation groups which grow out of the theory of synchronization in finite automata. In this theory, two classes of permutation groups (called \emph{synchronizing} and \emph{separating}) lying between primitive and $2$-homogeneous are defined. A big open question is how the permutation group induced by $S_n$ on $k$-subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ fits in this hierarchy; our conjecture would give a solution to this problem for $n$ large in terms of $k$. We prove the conjecture in the case $k=4$: our result asserts that $S_n$ acting on $4$-sets is separating for $n\ge10$ (it fails to be synchronizing for $n=9$).

description: Depression is a widespread mental health issue, affecting an estimated 3.8% of the global population. It is also one of the main contributors to disability worldwide. Recently it is becoming popular for individuals to use social media platforms (e.g., Reddit) to express their difficulties and health issues (e.g., depression) and seek support from other users in online communities. It opens great opportunities to automatically identify social media users with depression by parsing millions of posts for potential interventions. Deep learning methods have begun to dominate in the field of machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) because of their ease of use, efficient processing, and state-of-the-art results on many NLP tasks. In this work, we propose a hybrid deep learning model which combines a pretrained sentence BERT (SBERT) and convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect individuals with depression with their Reddit posts. The sentence BERT is used to learn the meaningful representation of semantic information in each post. CNN enables the further transformation of those embeddings and the temporal identification of behavioral patterns of users. We trained and evaluated the model performance to identify Reddit users with depression by utilizing the Self-reported Mental Health Diagnoses (SMHD) data. The hybrid deep learning model achieved an accuracy of 0.86 and an F1 score of 0.86 and outperformed the state-of-the-art documented result (F1 score of 0.79) by other machine learning models in the literature. The results show the feasibility of the hybrid model to identify individuals with depression. Although the hybrid model is validated to detect depression with Reddit posts, it can be easily tuned and applied to other text classification tasks and different clinical applications.

description: As amorphous materials get jammed, both geometric and dynamic heterogeneity are observed. We investigate the correlation between the local geometric heterogeneity and local rearrangements in a slowly compressed bidisperse quasi-two-dimensional emulsion system. The compression is driven by evaporation of the continuous phase, and causes the area packing fraction to increase from 0.88 to 0.99. We quantify the structural heterogeneity of the system using the radical Voronoi tessellation following the method of [Rieser et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 088001 (2016)]. We define two structural quantities characterizing local structure, the first which considers nearest neighbors and the second of which includes information from second nearest neighbors. We find that droplets in heterogeneous local regions are more likely to have local rearrangements. These rearrangements are generally T1 events where two droplets converge toward a void, and two droplets move away from the void to make room for the converging droplets. Thus the presence of the voids tends to orient the T1 events. The presence of a correlation between the structural quantities and the rearrangement dynamics remains qualitatively unchanged over the entire range of packing fractions observed.

description: It is shown that the inclusion of hadronic interactions, and in particular nuclear potentials, in simulations of heavy ion collisions at the SPS energy range can lead to obvious correlations of protons. These correlations contribute significantly to an intermittency analysis as performed at the NA61 experiment. The beam energy and system size dependence is studied by comparing the resulting intermittency index for heavy ion collisions of different nuclei at beam energies of $40A$, $80A$ and $150A$ GeV. The resulting intermittency index from our simulations is similar to the reported values of the NA61 collaboration, if nuclear interactions are included. The observed apparent intermittency signal is the result of the correlated proton pairs with small relative transverse momentum $Δp_{t}$, which would be enhanced by hadronic potentials, and this correlation between the protons is slightly influenced by the coalescence parameters and the relative invariant four-momentum $q_{inv}$ cut.

description: Antenna technology is at the basis of ubiquitous wireless communication systems and sensors. Radiation is typically sustained by conduction currents flowing around resonant metallic objects that are optimized to enhance efficiency and bandwidth. However, resonant conductors are prone to large scattering of impinging waves, leading to challenges in crowded antenna environments due to blockage and distortion. Metasurface cloaks have been explored in the quest of addressing this challenge by reducing antenna scattering, but with limited performance in terms of bandwidth, footprint and overall scattering reduction. Here we introduce a different route towards radio-transparent antennas, in which the cloak itself acts as the radiating element, drastically reducing the overall footprint while enhancing scattering suppression and bandwidth, without sacrificing other relevant radiation metrics compared to conventional antennas. This technique offers a new application of cloaking technology, with promising features for crowded wireless communication platforms and noninvasive sensing.

description: Several websites improve their security and avoid dangerous Internet attacks by implementing CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), a type of verification to identify whether the end-user is human or a robot. The most prevalent type of CAPTCHA is text-based, designed to be easily recognized by humans while being unsolvable towards machines or robots. However, as deep learning technology progresses, development of convolutional neural network (CNN) models that predict text-based CAPTCHAs becomes easier. The purpose of this research is to investigate the flaws and vulnerabilities in the CAPTCHA generating systems in order to design more resilient CAPTCHAs. To achieve this, we created CapNet, a Convolutional Neural Network. The proposed platform can evaluate both numerical and alphanumerical CAPTCHAs

description: While all vertebrates have experienced two rounds of WGD (1R and 2R), ray-finned fishes have undergone an additional one known as the teleost-specific genome duplication (TSGD or 3R). Certain lineages within ray-finned fish, such as those in the orders Cypriniformes and Salmoniformes, have undergone further rounds of WGDs, contributing to evolutionary diversification. The evolutionary mechanisms and consequences of WGD in Cypriniformes have been extensively studied, particularly in fishes like the common carp and goldfish, with a focus on subgenome splitting, asymmetry, and functional divergence. However, other polyploid species within Cypriniformes remain relatively underexplored, limiting our understanding of the broader evolutionary impacts of WGD across this order. Here, we present newly assembled chromosome-level genomes for two loach species—Sinibotia superciliaris (Golden Chinese Loach) and Parabotia fasciatus (Yichang Sand Loach)—and integrate them into a comparative genomic analysis of 20 other species within the Cypriniformes. This study aims to resolve phylogenetic relationships and examine subgenome partitioning, providing critical insights into the origins and evolutionary mechanisms of polyploid formation. We reveal that polyploid species within the Cypriniformes, including loaches and carps, do not share a monophyletic origin and diverged across multiple evolutionary timelines. Our new approach to subgenome partitioning (M3) introduces a new method for subgenome division. Additionally, we investigate genome size reduction and its association with positively selected genes in a clade consisting of two subgenomes from Golden Chinese Loach and wide-bodied sand loach (Sinibotia reevesae). In conclusion, this study provides new insights into subgenome evolution in Cypriniformes species, highlighting the complex dynamics of polyploidy.

description: Gravitational-wave measurements of the tidal deformability in neutron-star binary coalescences can be used to infer the still unknown equation of state (EoS) of dense matter above the nuclear saturation density. By employing a Bayesian-ranking test we quantify the ability of current and future gravitational-wave observations to discriminate among families of nuclear-physics based EoS which differ in particle content and ab-initio microscopic calculations. While the constraining power of GW170817 is limited, we show that even twenty coalescences detected by LIGO-Virgo at design sensitivity are not enough to discriminate between EoS with similar softness but distinct microphysics. However, just a single detection with a third-generation detector such as the Einstein Telescope or Cosmic Explorer will rule out several families of EoS with very strong statistical significance, and can discriminate among models which feature similar softness, hence constraining the properties of nuclear matter to unprecedented levels.

description: Efficient and energy stable high order time marching schemes are very important but not easy to construct for the study of nonlinear phase dynamics. In this paper, we propose and study two linearly stabilized second order semi-implicit schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard phase-field equation. One uses backward differentiation formula and the other uses Crank-Nicolson method to discretize linear terms. In both schemes, the nonlinear bulk forces are treated explicitly with two second-order stabilization terms. This treatment leads to linear elliptic systems with constant coefficients, for which lots of robust and efficient solvers are available. The discrete energy dissipation properties are proved for both schemes. Rigorous error analysis is carried out to show that, when the time step-size is small enough, second order accuracy in time is obtained with a prefactor controlled by a fixed power of $1/\varepsilon$, where $\varepsilon$ is the characteristic interface thickness. Numerical results are presented to verify the accuracy and efficiency of proposed schemes.

description: As a valid tool for solving ground state problems, imaginary time evolution (ITE) is widely used in physical and chemical simulations. Different ITE-based algorithms in their quantum counterpart have recently been proposed and applied to some real systems. We experimentally realize the variational-based quantum imaginary time evolution (QITE) algorithm to simulate the ground state energy of hydrogen (H2) and lithium hydride (LiH) molecules in a superconducting qubit system. The H2 molecule is directly simulated using the 3-qubit circuit with unitary-coupled clusters (UCC) ansatz. We also combine QITE with the cluster mean-field (CMF) method to obtain an effective Hamiltonian. The LiH molecule is correspondingly simulated using the 3-qubit circuit with hardware-efficient ansatz. For comparison, the LiH molecule is also directly simulated using the 4-qubit circuit with UCC ansatz at the equilibrium point. All the experimental results show a convergence within 4 iterations, with high-fidelity ground state energy obtained. For a more complex system in the future, the CMF may allow further grouping of interactions to obtain an effective Hamiltonian, then the hybrid QITE algorithm can possibly simulate a relatively large-scale system with fewer qubits.

description: A measurement of the cross section for top quark-antiquark (tt-bar) pairs produced in association with a photon in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV is presented. The analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. The signal is defined as the production of a tt-bar pair in association with a photon having a transverse energy larger than 25 GeV and an absolute pseudorapidity smaller than 1.44. The measurement is performed in the fiducial phase space corresponding to the semileptonic decay chain of the tt-bar pair, and the cross section is measured relative to the inclusive tt-bar pair production cross section. The fiducial cross section for associated tt-bar pair and photon production is found to be 127 +/- 27 (stat + syst) fb per semileptonic final state. The measured value is in agreement with the theoretical prediction.

description: This work studies a variant of hybrid beamforming, namely, hybrid beamforming with selection (HBwS), as an attractive solution to reduce the hardware cost of multi-user Massive Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output systems, while retaining good performance. Unlike conventional hybrid beamforming, in a transceiver with HBwS, the antenna array is fed by an analog beamforming matrix with $\bar{L}$ input ports, where $\bar{L}$ is larger than the number of up/down-conversion chains $\bar{K}$. A bank of switches connects the instantaneously best $\bar{K}$ out of the $\bar{L}$ input ports to the up/down-conversion chains. The analog beamformer is designed based on average channel statistics and therefore needs to be updated only infrequently, while the switches operate based on instantaneous channel knowledge. HBwS allows use of simpler hardware in the beamformer that only need to adjust to the statistics, while also enabling the effective analog beams to adapt to the instantaneous channel variations via switching. This provides better user separability, beamforming gain, and/or simpler hardware than some conventional hybrid schemes. In this work, a novel design for the analog beamformer is derived and approaches to reduce the hardware and computational cost of a multi-user HBwS system are explored. In addition, we study how $\bar{L}$, the switch bank architecture, the number of users and the channel estimation overhead impact system performance.

description: In Lombardi drawings of graphs, edges are represented as circular arcs and the edges incident on vertices have perfect angular resolution. It is known that not every planar graph has a planar Lombardi drawing. We give an example of a planar 3-tree that has no planar Lombardi drawing and we show that all outerpaths do have a planar Lombardi drawing. Further, we show that there are graphs that do not even have any Lombardi drawing at all. With this in mind, we generalize the notion of Lombardi drawings to that of (smooth) $k$-Lombardi drawings, in which each edge may be drawn as a (differentiable) sequence of $k$ circular arcs; we show that every graph has a smooth $2$-Lombardi drawing and every planar graph has a smooth planar $3$-Lombardi drawing. We further investigate related topics connecting planarity and Lombardi drawings.

description: With software systems becoming increasingly pervasive and autonomous, our ability to test for their quality is severely challenged. Many systems are called to operate in uncertain and highly-changing environment, not rarely required to make intelligent decisions by themselves. This easily results in an intractable state space to explore at testing time. The state-of-the-art techniques try to keep the pace, e.g., by augmenting the tester's intuition with some form of (explicit or implicit) learning from observations to search this space efficiently. For instance, they exploit historical data to drive the search (e.g., ML-driven testing) or the tests execution data itself (e.g., adaptive or search-based testing). Despite the indubitable advances, the need for smartening the search in such a huge space keeps to be pressing.
 We introduce Reasoning-Based Software Testing (RBST), a new way of thinking at the testing problem as a causal reasoning task. Compared to mere intuition-based or state-of-the-art learning-based strategies, we claim that causal reasoning more naturally emulates the process that a human would do to ''smartly" search the space. RBST aims to mimic and amplify, with the power of computation, this ability. The conceptual leap can pave the ground to a new trend of techniques, which can be variously instantiated from the proposed framework, by exploiting the numerous tools for causal discovery and inference. Preliminary results reported in this paper are promising.

description: We use light-front Holography to estimate the valence quark and the meson cloud contributions to the nucleon axial form factor. The free couplings of the holographic model are determined by the empirical data and by the information extracted from lattice QCD. The holographic model provides a good description of the empirical data when we consider a meson cloud mixture of about 30\% in the physical nucleon state. The estimate of the valence quark contribution to the nucleon axial form factor compares well with the lattice QCD data for small pion masses. Our estimate of the meson cloud contribution to the nucleon axial form factor has a slower falloff with the square momentum transfer compared to typical estimates from quark models with meson cloud dressing.

Existence of a negative next-nearest-neighbor coupling in evanescently coupled dielectric waveguides

description: We experimentally demonstrate that the next-nearest-neighbor(NNN)coupling in an array of waveguides can naturally be negative. To do so, dielectric zig-zag shaped waveguide arrays are fabricated with direct laser writing (DLW). By changing the angle of the zig-zag shape it is possible to tune between positive and negative ratios of nearest and next-nearest-neighbor coupling, which also allows to reduce the impact of the NNN-coupling to zero at the correct respective angle. We describe how the correct higher order coupling constants in tight-binding models can be derived, based on non-orthogonal coupled mode theory. We confirm the existence of negative NNN-couplings experimentally and show the improved accuracy of this refined tight-binding model. The negative NNN-coupling has a noticeable impact especially when higher order coupling terms can no longer be neglected. Our results are also of importance for other discrete systems in which the tight-binding model is often used.

description: High-speed long polynomial multiplication is important for applications in homomorphic encryption (HE) and lattice-based cryptosystems. This paper addresses low-latency hardware architectures for long polynomial modular multiplication using the number-theoretic transform (NTT) and inverse NTT (iNTT). Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) is used to decompose the modulus into multiple smaller moduli. Our proposed architecture, namely PaReNTT, makes four novel contributions. First, parallel NTT and iNTT architectures are proposed to reduce the number of clock cycles to process the polynomials. This can enable real-time processing for HE applications, as the number of clock cycles to process the polynomial is inversely proportional to the level of parallelism. Second, the proposed architecture eliminates the need for permuting the NTT outputs before their product is input to the iNTT. This reduces latency by n/4 clock cycles, where n is the length of the polynomial, and reduces buffer requirement by one delay-switch-delay circuit of size n. Third, an approach to select special moduli is presented where the moduli can be expressed in terms of a few signed power-of-two terms. Fourth, novel architectures for pre-processing for computing residual polynomials using the CRT and post-processing for combining the residual polynomials are proposed. These architectures significantly reduce the area consumption of the pre-processing and post-processing steps. The proposed long modular polynomial multiplications are ideal for applications that require low latency and high sample rate as these feed-forward architectures can be pipelined at arbitrary levels.

description: This paper deals with state estimation of stochastic models with linear state dynamics, continuous or discrete in time. The emphasis is laid on a numerical solution to the state prediction by the time-update step of the grid-point-based point-mass filter (PMF), which is the most computationally demanding part of the PMF algorithm. A novel efficient PMF (ePMF) estimator, unifying continuous and discrete, approaches is proposed, designed, and discussed. By numerical illustrations, it is shown, that the proposed ePMF can lead to a time complexity reduction that exceeds 99.9% without compromising accuracy. The MATLAB code of the ePMF is released with this paper.

description: We study the problem of a Herbig-Haro jet with a uniformly accelerating ejection velocity, travelling into a uniform environment. For the ejection density we consider two cases: a time-independent density, and a time-independent mass loss rate. For these two cases, we obtain analytic solutions for the motion of the jet head using a ram-pressure balance and a center of mass equation of motion. We also compute axisymmetric numerical simulations of the same flow, and compare the time-dependent positions of the leading working surface shocks with the predictions of the two analytic models. We find that if the jet is over-dense and over-pressured (with respect to the environment) during its evolution, a good agreement is obtained with the analytic models, with the flow initially following the center of mass analytic solution, and (for the constant ejection density case) at later times approaching the ram-pressure balance solution.
