description: Chemical manipulation studies were conducted on betulinic acid (1), twenty-one new rationally designed analogues of 1 with modifications at C-28 were synthesized for their evaluation of inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and LPS-stimulated nitric oxide production in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Compound 2 (IC50 = 5.4 μM) exhibited an almost 1.4-fold increase in α-glucosidase inhibitory activity on yeast α-glucosidase while analogues 5 (IC50 16.4 μM) and 11 (IC50 16.6 μM) exhibited a 2-fold enhanced inhibitory activity on NO-production than betulinic acid.

description: (Abridged) Estimates of the interstellar deuterium abundance span a wide range of values. Here we study the evolution of deuterium in the framework of successful models for the chemical evolution of the Milky Way able to reproduce the majority of the observational constraints for the solar neighbourhood and for the Galactic disc. We show that, in the framework of our models, the lowest D/H values observed locally cannot be explained in terms of simple astration processes occurring during the Galaxy evolution. Indeed, the combination of a mild star formation and a continuous infall of unprocessed gas required to fit all the available observational data allows only a modest variation of the deuterium abundance from its primordial value.

description: We describe and demonstrate a method to control a detuned movable-mirror Fabry-Perot cavity using radiation pressure in the presence of a strong optical spring. At frequencies below the optical spring resonance, self-locking of the cavity is achieved intrinsically by the optomechanical (OM) interaction between the cavity field and the movable end mirror. The OM interaction results in a high rigidity and reduced susceptibility of the mirror to external forces. However, due to a finite delay time in the cavity, this enhanced rigidity is accompanied by an anti-damping force, which destabilizes the cavity. The cavity is stabilized by applying external feedback in a frequency band around the optical spring resonance. The error signal is sensed in the amplitude quadrature of the transmitted beam with a photodetector. An amplitude modulator in the input path to the cavity modulates the light intensity to provide the stabilizing radiation pressure force.
Dynamical Generation of Solitons in a 1+1 Dimensional Chiral Field Theory: Non-Perturbative Dirac Operator Resolvent Analysis

description: We analyze the 1+1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model non-perturbatively. We study non-trivial saddle points of the effective action in which the composite fields $\sigx=$ and $\pix=$ form static space dependent configurations. These configurations may be viewed as one dimensional chiral bags that trap the original fermions (``quarks'') into stable extended entities (``hadrons''). We provide explicit expressions for the profiles of some of these objects and calculate their masses. Our analysis of these saddle points, and in particular, the proof that the $\sigx, \pix$ condensations must give rise to a reflectionless Dirac operator, appear to us simpler and more direct than the calculations previously done by Shei, using the inverse scattering method following Dashen, Hasslacher, and Neveu.

Techniques for the Synthesis of Reversible Toffoli Networks

description: This paper presents novel techniques for the synthesis of reversible networks of Toffoli gates, as well as improvements to previous methods. Gate count and technology oriented cost metrics are used. Our synthesis techniques are independent of the cost metrics. Two new iterative synthesis procedure employing Reed-Muller spectra are introduced and shown to complement earlier synthesis approaches. The template simplification suggested in earlier work is enhanced through introduction of a faster and more efficient template application algorithm, updated (shorter) classification of the templates, and presentation of the new templates of sizes 7 and 9. A novel ``resynthesis'' approach is introduced wherein a sequence of gates is chosen from a network, and the reversible specification it realizes is resynthesized as an independent problem in hopes of reducing the network cost. Empirical results are presented to show that the methods are effective both in terms of the realization of all 3x3 reversible functions and larger reversible benchmark specifications.

description: Understanding in intimate details how the viroid interaction with host's defense genes is a cornerstone for developing viroid resistant plants. In this present study, small RNAs (sRNA) derived from Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) were studied in silico in order to detect any interactions with the serine threonine kinase receptor, a transmembrane protein that plays a role in disease resistance in plants. Using molecular biology techniques, it was determined that PSTVd infection negatively affects at least three serine threonine kinase receptors as well as with three other genes that are known to be involved in the overall development of the tomato plants. The transient expression of these putative PSTVd-sRNAs, using the microRNA sequence as a backbone, in tomato plants induced phenotypes similar to viroid infection. Mutants created by altering the sequence of PSTVd in these regions failed to infect the tomato plant. The data presented here illustrates the importance of these regions in viroid survival, and suggests a possible avenue of exploration for the development of viroid resistant plants.

description: On July 20, 2006, Michigan joined the growing number of states to enact “Stand Your Ground” legislation. These statutes marked a dramatic expansion of the common law Castle Doctrine by allowing individuals to employ deadly force against assailants without first considering whether there were reasonably available avenues of retreat to safety. This Note first examines the effect of the Michigan Self-Defense Act on the state’s legal landscape, ultimately concluding that the law provides individuals with an over broad license to use deadly force in situations that could be resolved peacefully. This leads to the creation of a “shoot first” culture in which individuals feel empowered to resort to violent self-defense tactics without first evaluating alternative available means. This Note argues that the shoot first culture enabled by the Act poses a disproportionate threat to Black Americans due to the longstanding subconscious associations of Blackness with criminality. Black Americans thus face a significantly greater likelihood of being incorrectly perceived as threatening, and, coupled with the statute’s expansive permit to use deadly force, killed by those who opt to stand their ground. The Note also argues that race-centric advocacy strategies opposing Stand Your Ground laws are likely to be polarizing and ineffective, and instead proposes a shift to principles grounded in empathy and dialogue.

There have been several attempts in the past to harvest the possible synergies between the two of them. However, we observed still several challenges. In addition, with the large amount of software deployed in Europe being based on open source, the new EU Regulations on Software, in particular the AI Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, and the Data Act, largely affect open source software. The respective standards need to be implemented by open source software. And technologies addressing some of the essential requirements laid down by law are available already in open source.

description: An analytic method of smearing link variables in lattice QCD is proposed and tested. The differentiability of the smearing scheme with respect to the link variables permits the use of modern Monte Carlo updating methods based on molecular dynamics evolution for gauge-field actions constructed using such smeared links. In examining the smeared mean plaquette and the static quark-antiquark potential, no degradation in effectiveness is observed as compared to link smearing methods currently in use, although an increased sensitivity to the smearing parameter is found.

description: We derive a path integral expression for the transition amplitude in 1+1-dimensional QCD starting from canonically quantized QCD. Gauge fixing after quantization leads to a formulation in terms of gauge invariant but curvilinear variables. Remainders of the curved space are Jacobians, an effective potential, and sign factors just as for the problem of a particle in a box. Based on this result we derive a Faddeev-Popov like expression for the transition amplitude avoiding standard infinities that are caused by integrations over gauge equivalent configurations.

description: Contribution of the strong CP angle, $\barθ$, to the Wilson Coefficients of electron and muon electric dipole moment (EDM) operators are discussed. Previously, $\barθ$ contribution to the electron EDM operator was calculated by Choi and Hong. However, the effect of CP-violating three meson coupling was missing there. We include this missing contribution for the first time in the literature, and reevaluate the Wilson coefficients of the lepton EDM operator. We obtain $d_e = - (2.2-8.6) \times 10^{-28} \barθ$ e-cm which is 15 - 70 % of the result obtained in Choi and Hong. We also estimated the muon EDM as $d_μ= - (0.5-1.8) \times 10^{-25} \barθ$ e-cm. Using $|\barθ| \lesssim 10^{-10}$ suggested by the neutron EDM measurements, we obtain $|d_e| \lesssim 8.6 \times 10^{-38}$ e-cm and $|d_μ| \lesssim 1.8 \times 10^{-35}$ e-cm. The $\barθ$ contribution to the muon EDM is much below the sensitivities of the current and near future experiments. Our result shows that the $\barθ$ contribution to $d_{e,μ}$ can be larger than the CKM contributions by many orders of magnitude.

The Outskrits of Spiral Galaxies: Evidence for Multiple Stellar Populations

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an analysis of the metallicity distribution functions of fields projected along the minor axis for a sample of inclined spiral galaxies in order to search for evidence of the presence of multiple stellar populations. In all cases, the stellar populations appear to have asymmetric metallicity distributions with very high confidence levels. The mean metallicities of both stellar subpopulations, determined from mixture modelling of the metallicity distribution functions, correlate with parent galaxy luminosity. This suggests that the vast majority of field stars have probably formed in galactic fragments that were already embedded in the dark matter halo of the final galaxy. The steeper correlation between the mean stellar metallicity and parent galaxy luminosity is driven by an increasing fraction of metal-rich stars with increasing galaxy luminosity. Metal-poor components show larger dispersion in metallicity than metal-rich components. These properties are in striking similarity with those of globular cluster subpopulations around early-type galaxies. The properties of field stars along the minor axis are consistent with a formation scenario in which the metal-poor stars formed in all galaxies, possibly as a result of tidal disruption of dwarf-like objects. An additional metal-rich component might be related to the formation of the bulge and/or the disk.

description: Entanglement witnesses provide tools to detect entanglement in experimental situations without the need of having full tomographic knowledge about the state. If one estimates in an experiment an expectation value smaller than zero, one can directly infer that the state has been entangled, or specifically multi-partite entangled, in the first place. In this article, we emphasize that all these tests - based on the very same data - give rise to quantitative estimates in terms of entanglement measures: "If a test is strongly violated, one can also infer that the state was quantitatively very much entangled". We consider various measures of entanglement, including the negativity, the entanglement of formation, and the robustness of entanglement, in the bipartite and multipartite setting. As examples, we discuss several experiments in the context of quantum state preparation that have recently been performed.

description: With various sets of the parameters that characterize the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter, we systematically examine the thickness of a neutron star crust and of the pasta phases contained therein. Then, with respect to the thickness of the phase of spherical nuclei, the thickness of the cylindrical phase, and the crust thickness, we successfully derive fitting formulas that express the ratio of each thickness to the star's radius as a function of the star's compactness, the incompressibility of symmetric nuclear matter, and the density dependence of the symmetry energy. In particular, we find that the thickness of the phase of spherical nuclei has such a strong dependence on the stellar compactness as the crust thickness, but both of them show a much weaker dependence on the EOS parameters. Thus, via determination of the compactness, the thickness of the phase of spherical nuclei as well as the crust thickness can be constrained reasonably, even if the EOS parameters remain to be well-determined.

description: It is well documented, and has been the topic of much research, that Computer Science courses tend to have higher than average drop out rates at third level. This is a problem that needs to be addressed with urgency but also caution. The required number of Computer Science graduates is growing every year but the number of graduates is not meeting this demand and one way that this problem can be alleviated is to encourage students at an early age towards studying Computer Science courses. This paper presents a systematic literature review on the role of visual and textual programming languages when learning to program, particularly as a first programming language. The approach is systematic, in that a structured search of electronic resources has been conducted, and the results are presented and quantitatively analysed. This study will give insight into whether or not the current approaches to teaching young learners programming are viable, and examines what we can do to increase the interest and retention of these students as they progress through their education.

description: We perform simulations of (3-colour) QCD with 2 quark flavours at a finite chemical potential $μ_I$ for isospin($I_3$), and of 2-colour QCD at a finite chemical potential $μ$ for quark number. At zero temperature, QCD at finite $μ_I$ has a mean-field phase transition at $μ_I=m_π$ to a superfluid state with a charged pion condensate which spontaneously breaks $I_3$. We study the finite temperature transition as a function of $μ_I$. For $μ_I < m_π$, where this is closely related to the transition at finite $μ$, this appears to be a crossover independent of quark mass, with no sign of the proposed critical endpoint. For $μ_I > m_π$ this becomes a true phase transition where the pion condensate evaporates. For $μ_I$ just above $m_π$ the transition seems to be second order, while for larger $μ_I$ it appears to become first order. At zero temperature, 2-colour QCD also possesses a superfluid state with a diquark condensate. We study its spectrum of Goldstone and pseudo-Goldstone bosons associated with chiral and quark-number symmetry breaking.

description: We perform a magneto-optical study of a two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) in the regime of the Stoner ferromagnetic instability for even quantum Hall filling factors on Mg$_x$Zn$_{1-x}$O/ZnO heterostructures. Under conditions of Landau-level crossing, caused by enhanced spin susceptibility in combination with the tilting of the magnetic field, the transition between two rivaling phases- paramagnetic and ferromagnetic- is traced in terms of optical spectra reconstruction. Synchronous sharp transformations are observed both in the photoluminescence structure and parameters of collective excitations upon transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic ordering. Based on these measurements, a phase diagram is constructed in terms of the 2D electron density and tilt angle of the magnetic field. Apart from stable paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, an instability region is found at intermediate parameters with the Stoner transition occurring at $ν\approx 2$. The spin configuration in all cases is unambiguously determined by means of inelastic light scattering by spin-sensitive collective excitations. One indicator of the spin ordering is the intra-Landau-level spin exciton, which acquires a large spectral weight in the ferromagnetic phases. The other - is an abrupt energy shift of the intersubband charge density excitation due to change in the many-particle energy contribution upon spin rearrangement. From our analysis of photoluminescence and light scattering data, we estimate the ratio of surface areas occupied by the domains of the two phases in the vicinity of a transition point. In addition, the thermal smearing of a phase transition is characterized.

Probabilistic primitives for building generative, discriminative, and conditional random field classification models will be implemented with emphasis on object segmentation. Specialized registration operators will be developed for spline and voxel-driven algorithms. These primitives will be developed within the single instruction multiple data paradigm which utilizes many-core processing architectures via OpenMP, CUDA, and OpenCL. The workflow will be supplemented by a graphical user interface (GUI), providing a feature rich studio of tools that expose high-performance primitives to scientists visually and intuitively. The platform architecture will be designed as a distributed system service targeting locally administered scientific computing clusters where the number of compute nodes will be able to scale with load requirements. The GUI and the computational core may either run in a distributed client-server configuration or together locally on a single high performance workstation. Emphasis will be placed on documentation and video/written tutorials necessary for adoption. The project team will use an open software development model to build a strong user base comprising both novice users as well as researchers with the need to implement new algorithms on top of a stable software infrastructure. It is expected that the availability of this tool and its source code will catalyze an increase in quantitative image analysis spanning across research disciplines.

description: We investigate Aharonov-Bohm scattering in a theory in which charged bosonic matter fields are coupled to topologically massive electrodynamics and topologically massive gravity. We demonstrate that, at one-loop order, the transmuted spins in this theory are related to the ones of ordinary Chern-Simons gauge theory in the same way that the Knizhnik-Polyakov-Zamolodchikov formula relates the Liouville-dressed conformal weights of primary operators to the bare weights in two-dimensional conformal field theories. We remark on the implications of this connection between two-dimensional conformal field theories and three-dimensional gauge and gravity theories for a topological membrane reformulation of strings. We also discuss some features of the gravitational analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

Current-phase relation and flux-dependent thermoelectricity in Andreev interferometers

description: We predict a novel $(I_0,ϕ_0)$-junction state of multi-terminal Andreev interferometers that emerges from an interplay between long-range quantum coherence and non-equilibrium effects. Under non-zero bias $V$ the current-phase relation $I_S(ϕ)$ resembles that of a $ϕ_0$-junction differing from the latter due to a non-zero average $I_0(V) = \left< I_S(ϕ)\right>_ϕ$. The flux-dependent thermopower ${\mathcal S}(Φ)$ of the system exhibits features similar to those of a $(I_0,ϕ_0)$-junction and in certain limits it can reduce to either odd or even function of $Φ$ in the agreement with a number of experimental observations.

Internal dynamics of the radio-halo cluster A2744

description: We present a detailed dynamical analysis of the rich galaxy cluster A2744, containing a powerful diffuse radio halo.Our analysis is based on redshift data for 102 galaxies, part of them recovered from unexplored spectra in the ESO archive. We combine galaxy velocity and position information to select the cluster members and determine global dynamical properties of the cluster. We use a variety of statistical tests to detect possible substructures. We find that A2744 appears as a well isolated peak in the redshift space at =0.306, which includes 85 galaxies recognized as cluster members. We compute the line-of-sight (LOS) velocity dispersion of galaxies (~1750 km/sec), which is significantly larger than what is expected in the case of a relaxed cluster with an observed X-ray temperature of 8 keV. We find evidence that this cluster is far from dynamical equilibrium, as shown by the non-Gaussian nature of the velocity distribution, the presence of a velocity gradient and a significant substructure. In particular, our results suggest a merging scenario of two clumps with a mass ratio of 3:1 and a LOS impact velocity (rest frame) of ~3000 km/sec, likely observed just after the core passage. The merging is occuring roughly in the NS direction with the axis close to the LOS. This scenario agrees with that proposed on the basis of recent Chandra results in its general lines, although suggesting a somewhat more advanced merging phase.

Transport properties of nuclear pasta phase with quantum molecular dynamics

description: We study the transport properties of nuclear pasta for a wide range of density, temperature and proton fractions, relevant for different astrophysical scenarios adopting a quantum molecular dynamics model. In particular, we estimate the values of shear viscosity as well as electrical and thermal conductivities by calculating the static structure factor $S(q)$ using simulation data. In the density and temperature range where the pasta phase appears, the static structure factor shows irregular behavior. The presence of a slab phase greatly enhances the peak in $S(q)$. However, the effect of irregularities in $S(q)$ on the transport coefficients is not very dramatic. The values of all three transport coefficients are found to have the same orders of magnitude as found in theoretical calculations for the inner crust matter of neutron stars without the pasta phase and therefore, is in contrast to earlier speculations that a pasta layer might be highly resistive, both thermally and electrically.

description: The spectrum of a quantum system has in general bound, scattering and resonant parts. The Hilbert space includes only the bound and scattering spectra, and discards the resonances. One must therefore enlarge the Hilbert space to a rigged Hilbert space, within which the physical bound, scattering and resonance spectra are included on the same footing. In these lectures, I will explain how this is done.

description: This is the initial theory to secure the idea of the 4th absolute law of relativity through the idea of ctc redirection . This unlike the other laws of relativity tries to validate an absolute law where the speed of a particle is not reduced relativly but through redirection into a Closed timelike curve where it will be forced to lose energy and return to a slower speed hence defenitivley preventing any particle from exceeding the speed of light due to its own spacetime warping . This will be followed up with a detailed thesis with mathematical and experimentational proofs .This document is officially registered under DOI : 10.5281/zenodo.14948424 under the ORCID ID : 0009-0003-2017-0357 .
