description: Read about the importance of deadwood for forest ecosystems, the parallel changes in environmental conditions and forest management strategies, the 4th Forest Engineering Conference, and much more...
This issue includes, among other things, a report from the first international symposium on the "Dynamics and Ecological Services of Deadwood in Forest Ecosystems" that was held in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, from 15-19 May 2011. Deadwood is a critical component of forest ecosystems that provides habitat for a range of species. The reduced volume of deadwood in managed forests negatively impacts the population dynamics of these species. You will also find reports from the meeting on "Managed Forests in Future Landscapes" held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, a training course on wood-based panels that took place in Thailand, the 4th Forest Engineering Conference in South Africa and the WFSE Steering Committee meeting at IUFRO Headquarters.

description: We report the first ever measurements of the thermalization length of low-energy electrons injected into solid para-hydrogen at a temperature \(T\approx 2.8\,\)K. The use of the pulsed Townsend photoinjection technique has allowed us to investigate the behavior of quasi-free electrons rather than of massive, slow negative charges as reported in all previous literature. We have found an average thermalization length \(\langle z_0\rangle\approx 260\,\)Å which is 3 to 5 times longer than that in liquid helium at the same temperature.

description: The emergence of quantum computing has introduced a revolutionary paradigm capable of transforming numerous scientific and industrial sectors. Nevertheless, realizing the practical utilization of quantum software in real-world applications presents significant challenges. Factors such as variations in hardware implementations, the intricacy of quantum algorithms, the integration of quantum and traditional software, and the absence of standardized software and communication interfaces hinder the development of a skilled workforce in this domain. This paper explores tangible approaches to establishing quantum computing software development process and addresses the concerns of various stakeholders. By addressing these challenges, we aim to pave the way for the effective utilization of quantum computing in diverse fields.

description: Sich auf die Notwendigkeit einer leistungsfähigen Medienethik zu berufen, ist gegenwärtig zu einem Gemeinplatz geworden. Doch auf welchen normativen Grundlagen eine solche Medienethik aufbauen soll, bleibt eine schwer zu beantwortende Frage. Claudia Paganini zieht als Ausgangspunkt die konkrete Praxis heran, d.h. genauer die moralischen Überzeugungen und Wertvorstellungen der einzelnen Akteure. Im Anschluss an die Rekonstruktion der für verbindlich gehaltenen Werte wird dann ein Minimal-Konsens herausgearbeitet, der in der konkreten Entscheidungssituation dazu beitragen soll, durch Abwägen und Argumentieren zu einer gut begründbaren, inhaltlich konkreten Antwort zu gelangen.

Als Basis für die Rekonstruktion von Wertvorstellungen dienen signifikante nationale und internationale Selbstverpflichtungskodizes, welche im vorliegenden Werk nicht nur analysiert, sondern auch in Form einer Sammlung ediert und dem Publikum zugänglich gemacht wurden.

description: We present the wakefield conformal mapping technique that can be readily applied to the analysis of the radiation generated by an ultra-relativistic particle in the step transition and a collimator. We derive simple analytical expressions for the lower and upper bounds of both longitudinal and transverse wake potentials. We test the derived expressions against well-known formulas in several representative examples. The proposed method can greatly simplify the optimization of collimating sections, as well as become a useful tool in the shape optimization problems.

description: We propose a model-independent analysis of near-threshold enhancements using independent S-matrix poles. In this formulation, we constructed a Jost function with controllable zeros to ensure that no poles are generated on the physical Riemann sheet. We show that there is a possibility of misinterpreting the observed near-threshold signals if one utilized a limited parametrization and restrict the analysis to only one element of the S-matrix. Specifically, there is a possibility of the emergence of ambiguous pair of poles which are singularities of the full S-matrix but may not manifest in one of its elements. For a more concrete discussion, we focused on an effective two-channel scattering where the full S-matrix is a $2\times2$ matrix. We apply our method to the coupled two-channel analysis of the $P_ψ^N(4312)^+$ and found that the compact pentaquark interpretation cannot be ruled out yet.

Phase Crossover induced by Dynamical Many Body Localization in Periodically Driven Long-Range Spin Systems

description: Dynamical many-body freezing occurs in periodic transverse field-driven integrable quantum spin systems. Under freezing conditions, quantum dynamics causes practically infinite hysteresis in the drive response, maintaining its starting value. We find similar resonant freezing in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model. In the LMG, the freezing conditions in the driving field suppresses the heating postulated by the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) by inducing dynamical many-body localization, or DMBL. This is in contrast to Many Body Localization (MBL), which requires disorder to suppress ETH. DMBL has been validated by the inverse participation ratio (IPR) of the quasistationary Floquet modes. Similarly to the TFIM, the LMG exhibits high-frequency localization only at freezing points. IPR localization in the LMG deteriorates with an inverse system size law at lower frequencies, which indicates heating to infinite temperature. Furthermore, adiabatically increasing frequency and amplitude from low values raises the Floquet state IPR in the LMG from nearly zero to unity, indicating a phase crossover. This occurrence enables a future technique to construct an MBL engine in clean systems that can be cycled by adjusting drive parameters only.

description: Read two press releases – one on forests and health and one on community-based forest management - that the CPF has published lately as a joint initiative in the International Year of Forests.
Research shows that there is a huge untapped economic and health potential in forest biodiversity. Many top-selling herbal products are derived from forests, and the collection and trade of raw materials continues to significantly affect forest economies. A CPF press release prepared by IUFRO and CPF partners and published prior to World Health Day underlines this forest benefit as well as the importance of sustainable forest management to preserve it. A second CPF press release published on the occasion of Earth Day on 22 April points at the need to increase communities’ role in forest management, which could contribute to lifting close to a billion people out of poverty, as well as improve the health and vitality of forests.
Converting long-range entanglement into mixture: tensor-network approach to local equilibration

description: In the out-of-equilibrium evolution induced by a quench, fast degrees of freedom generate long-range entanglement that is hard to encode with standard tensor networks. However, local observables only sense such long-range correlations through their contribution to the reduced local state as a mixture. We present a tensor network method that identifies such long-range entanglement and efficiently transforms it into mixture, much easier to represent. In this way, we obtain an effective description of the time-evolved state as a density matrix that captures the long-time behavior of local operators with finite computational resources.

description: We propose and analyze a laser-driven protocol to generate long-range ordered patterns in paramagnets, based on non-adiabatically driven aggregation dynamics. We derive the optimal driving parameters that maximize, respectively, the correlation length or the size of defect-free antiferromagnetic clusters in a one-dimensional chain. We show that one can reach correlation lengths that are exponentially larger than those achieved by adiabatic pumping schemes. The resonantly driven dynamics of cluster fronts is shown to map to an exactly solvable model of free fermions.

description: Here we introduce a variation of the trap model of glasses based on softness, a local structural variable identified by machine learning, in supercooled liquids. Softness is a particle-based quantity that reflects the local structural environment of a particle and characterizes the energy barrier for the particle to rearrange. As in the trap model, we treat each particle's softness, and hence energy barrier, as evolving independently. We show that such a model reproduces many qualitative features of softness, and therefore makes qualitatively reasonable predictions of behaviors such as the dependence of fragility on density in a model supercooled liquid. We also show failures of this simple model, indicating features of the dynamics of softness that may only be explained by correlations.

Probing Spin-Induced Quadrupole Moments in Precessing Compact Binaries

description: Spin-induced quadrupole moments provide an important characterization of compact objects, such as black holes, neutron stars and black hole mimickers inspired by additional fields and/or modified theories of gravity. Black holes in general relativity have a specific spin-induced quadrupole moment, with other objects potentially having differing values. Different values of this quadrupole moment lead to modifications of the spin precession dynamics, and consequently modifications to the inspiral waveform. Based on the spin-dynamics and the associated precessing waveform developed in our previous work, we assess the prospects of measuring spin-induced moments in various black hole, neutron star, and black-hole mimicker binaries. We focus on binaries in which at least one of the objects is in the mass gap (similar to the $2.6 M_\odot$ object found in GW190814). We find that for generic precessing binaries, the effect of the spin-induced quadrupole moments on the precession is sensitive to the nature of the mass-gap object, i.e., whether it is a light black hole or a massive neutron star. So that this is a good probe of the nature of these objects. For precessing black-hole mimicker binaries, this waveform also provides significantly tighter constraints on their spin-induced quadrupole moments than the previous results obtained without incorporating the precession effects of spin-induced quadrupole moments. We apply the waveform to sample events in GWTC catalogs to obtain better constraints on the spin-induced quadrupole moments, and discuss the measurement prospects for events in the O$4$ run of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration.

description: Communicating shapes our social word. For a robot to be considered social and being consequently integrated in our social environment it is fundamental to understand some of the dynamics that rule human-human communication. In this work, we tackle the problem of Addressee Estimation, the ability to understand an utterance's addressee, by interpreting and exploiting non-verbal bodily cues from the speaker. We do so by implementing an hybrid deep learning model composed of convolutional layers and LSTM cells taking as input images portraying the face of the speaker and 2D vectors of the speaker's body posture. Our implementation choices were guided by the aim to develop a model that could be deployed on social robots and be efficient in ecological scenarios. We demonstrate that our model is able to solve the Addressee Estimation problem in terms of addressee localisation in space, from a robot ego-centric point of view.

description: We study the design of iterative combinatorial auctions (ICAs). The main challenge in this domain is that the bundle space grows exponentially in the number of items. To address this, several papers have recently proposed machine learning (ML)-based preference elicitation algorithms that aim to elicit only the most important information from bidders. However, from a practical point of view, the main shortcoming of this prior work is that those designs elicit bidders' preferences via value queries (i.e., ``What is your value for the bundle $\{A,B\}$?''). In most real-world ICA domains, value queries are considered impractical, since they impose an unrealistically high cognitive burden on bidders, which is why they are not used in practice. In this paper, we address this shortcoming by designing an ML-powered combinatorial clock auction that elicits information from the bidders only via demand queries (i.e., ``At prices $p$, what is your most preferred bundle of items?''). We make two key technical contributions: First, we present a novel method for training an ML model on demand queries. Second, based on those trained ML models, we introduce an efficient method for determining the demand query with the highest clearing potential, for which we also provide a theoretical foundation. We experimentally evaluate our ML-based demand query mechanism in several spectrum auction domains and compare it against the most established real-world ICA: the combinatorial clock auction (CCA). Our mechanism significantly outperforms the CCA in terms of efficiency in all domains, it achieves higher efficiency in a significantly reduced number of rounds, and, using linear prices, it exhibits vastly higher clearing potential. Thus, with this paper we bridge the gap between research and practice and propose the first practical ML-powered ICA.

description: Let $S$ be an oriented, closed surface of genus $g.$ The mapping class group of $S$ is the group of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of $S$ modulo isotopy. In 1997, Looijenga introduced the Prym representations, which are virtual representations of the mapping class group that depend on a finite, abelian group. Let $V$ be a genus $g$ handlebody with boundary $S$. The handlebody group is the subgroup of those mapping classes of $S$ that extend over $V.$ The twist group is the subgroup of the handlebody group generated by twists about meridians. Here, we restrict the Prym representations to the handlebody group and further to the twist group. We determine the image of the representations in the cyclic case.

description: Agricultural robots must navigate challenging dynamic and semi-structured environments. Recently, environmental modeling using LiDAR-based SLAM has shown promise in providing highly accurate geometry. However, how this chaotic environmental information can be used to achieve effective robot automation in the agricultural sector remains unexplored. In this study, we propose a novel semantic mapping and navigation framework for achieving robotic autonomy in orchards. It consists of two main components: a semantic processing module and a navigation module. First, we present a novel 3D detection network architecture, 3D-ODN, which can accurately process object instance information from point clouds. Second, we develop a framework to construct the visibility map by incorporating semantic information and terrain analysis. By combining these two critical components, our framework is evaluated in a number of key horticultural production scenarios, including a robotic system for in-situ phenotyping and daily monitoring, and a selective harvesting system in apple orchards. The experimental results show that our method can ensure high accuracy in understanding the environment and enable reliable robot autonomy in agricultural environments.
Transposed Poisson structures on Lie incidence algebras

description: Let $X$ be a finite connected poset, $K$ a field of characteristic zero and $I(X,K)$ the incidence algebra of $X$ over $K$ seen as a Lie algebra under the commutator product. In the first part of the paper we show that any $\frac{1}{2}$-derivation of $I(X,K)$ decomposes into the sum of a central-valued $\frac 12$-derivation, an inner $\frac{1}{2}$-derivation and a $\frac{1}{2}$-derivation associated with a map $σ:X^2_<\to K$ that is constant on chains and cycles in $X$. In the second part of the paper we use this result to prove that any transposed Poisson structure on $I(X,K)$ is the sum of a structure of Poisson type, a mutational structure and a structure determined by $λ:X^2_e\to K$, where $X^2_e$ is the set of $(x,y)\in X^2$ such that $x

description: Filippov n-algebroids are introduced by Grabowski and Marmo as a natural generalization of Lie algebroids. On this note, we characterized Filippov n-algebroid structures by considering certain multi-input connections, which we called Filippov connections, on the underlying vector bundle. Through this approach, we could express the n-ary bracket of any Filippov n-algebroid using a torsion-free type formula. Additionally, we transformed the generalized Jacobi identity of the Filippov n-algebroid into the Bianchi-Filippov identity. Furthermore, in the case of rank n vector bundles, we provided a characterization of linear Nambu-Poisson structures using Filippov connections.

Resonance triplet dynamics in the quenched unitary Bose gas

description: The quenched unitary Bose gas is a paradigmatic example of a strongly interacting out-of-equilibrium quantum system, whose dynamics become difficult to describe theoretically due to the growth of non-Gaussian quantum correlations. We develop a conserving many-body theory capable of capturing these effects, allowing us to model the post-quench dynamics in the previously inaccessible time regime where the gas departs from the universal prethermal stage. Our results show that this departure is driven by the growth of strong lossless three-body correlations, rather than atomic losses, thus framing the heating of the gas in this regime as a fully coherent phenomenon. We uncover the specific few-body scattering processes that affect this heating, and show that the expected connection between the two-body and three-body contacts and the tail of the momentum distribution is obscured following the prethermal stage, explaining the absence of this connection in experiments. Our general framework, which reframes the dynamics of unitary quantum systems in terms of explicit connections to microscopic physics, can be broadly applied to any quantum system containing strong few-body correlations.

description: The very brief but historic meeting between Malcolm X and Fidel Castro occurred on September 24, 1960 at the instigation of the U.S. State Department (much to its chagrin), which had pressured the Shelburne Hotel to cancel its contract for accommodations to the Cuban Delegation, headed by Fidel Castro. Having just successfully waged a revolution for independence within the U.S. "sphere of influence," the Cubans found their delegation, which was scheduled to participate in international meetings at the United Nations, harassed by the U.S. government. However, at the suggestions of Harlem activists, the disruptions in securing accommodations were transformed into a momentous opportunity for cultural-political expressions of solidarity and anti-racism. When the Cuban delegation accepted the warm welcome of the Hotel Theresa's owner Love B. Woods, ideological and political ties between progressive African Americans and Cuban revolutionaries were cultivated.

description: The development of X-ray scintillators with ultrahigh light yields and ultrafast response times is a long sought-after goal. In this work, we theoretically predict and experimentally demonstrate a fundamental mechanism that pushes the frontiers of ultrafast X-ray scintillator performance: the use of nanoscale-confined surface plasmon polariton modes to tailor the scintillator response time via the Purcell effect. By incorporating nanoplasmonic materials in scintillator devices, this work predicts over 10-fold enhancement in decay rate and 38% reduction in time resolution even with only a simple planar design. We experimentally demonstrate the nanoplasmonic Purcell effect using perovskite scintillators, enhancing the light yield by over 120% to 88 $\pm$ 11 ph/keV, and the decay rate by over 60% to 2.0 $\pm$ 0.2 ns for the average decay time, and 0.7 $\pm$ 0.1 ns for the ultrafast decay component, in good agreement with the predictions of our theoretical framework. We perform proof-of-concept X-ray imaging experiments using nanoplasmonic scintillators, demonstrating 182% enhancement in the modulation transfer function at 4 line pairs per millimeter spatial frequency. This work highlights the enormous potential of nanoplasmonics in optimizing ultrafast scintillator devices for applications including time-of-flight X-ray imaging and photon-counting computed tomography.

description: We present new action principles for unimodular gravity, defined in the chiral Plebański formulation based on (complex) two-forms and a complex ${\rm SO}(3)$ connection. In these theories, just as in their analogues in the metric formulation, the cosmological constant does not take a prescribed value but is an integration constant whose value can differ between different (classical) solutions. We discuss some subtleties when identifying Lorentzian solutions in the generally complex theory, and show how these theories can be reduced to a ``pure connection'' form similar to Krasnov's pure connection formalism for general relativity.
