description: Colloidal dispersions are prized as model systems to understand basic properties of materials, and are central to a wide range of industries from cosmetics to foods to agrichemicals. Among the key developments in using colloids to address challenges in condensed matter is to resolve the particle coordinates in 3D, allowing a level of analysis usually only possible in computer simulation. However in amorphous materials, relating mechanical properties to microscopic structure remains problematic. This makes it rather hard to understand, for example, mechanical failure. Here we address this challenge by studying the contacts and the forces between particles, as well as their positions. To do so, we use a colloidal model system (an emulsion) in which the interparticle forces and local stress can be linked to the microscopic structure. We demonstrate the potential of our method to reveal insights into the failure mechanisms of soft amorphous solids by determining local stress in a colloidal gel. In particular, we identify `force chains' of load-bearing droplets, and local stress anisotropy, and investigate their connection with locally rigid packings of the droplets.

A Setwise Approach for Effective and Highly Efficient Zero-shot Ranking with Large Language Models

description: We propose a novel zero-shot document ranking approach based on Large Language Models (LLMs): the Setwise prompting approach. Our approach complements existing prompting approaches for LLM-based zero-shot ranking: Pointwise, Pairwise, and Listwise. Through the first-of-its-kind comparative evaluation within a consistent experimental framework and considering factors like model size, token consumption, latency, among others, we show that existing approaches are inherently characterised by trade-offs between effectiveness and efficiency. We find that while Pointwise approaches score high on efficiency, they suffer from poor effectiveness. Conversely, Pairwise approaches demonstrate superior effectiveness but incur high computational overhead. Our Setwise approach, instead, reduces the number of LLM inferences and the amount of prompt token consumption during the ranking procedure, compared to previous methods. This significantly improves the efficiency of LLM-based zero-shot ranking, while also retaining high zero-shot ranking effectiveness. We make our code and results publicly available at \url{https://github.com/ielab/llm-rankers}.

description: We design faster-than-adiabatic state transfers (switching of quantum numbers) in time-dependent coupled-oscillator Hamiltonians. The manipulation to drive the process is found using a two-dimensional invariant recently proposed in S. Simsek and F. Mintert, Quantum 5 (2021) 409, and involves both rotation and transient scaling of the principal axes of the potential in a Cartesian representation. Importantly, this invariant is degenerate except for the subspace spanned by its ground state. Such degeneracy, in general, allows for infidelities of the final states with respect to ideal target eigenstates. However, the value of a single control parameter can be chosen so that the state switching is perfect for arbitrary (not necessarily known) initial eigenstates. Additional 2D linear invariants are used to find easily the parameter values needed and to provide generic expressions for the final states and final energies. In particular we find time-dependent transformations of a two-dimensional harmonic trap for a particle (such as an ion or neutral atom) so that the final trap is rotated with respect to the initial one, and eigenstates of the initial trap are converted into rotated replicas at final time, in some chosen time and rotation angle.

description: This work presents a three-dimensional dynamical initialization model for relativistic heavy-ion collisions, implementing local energy-momentum conservation and baryon charge fluctuations at string junctions. Constraining parameters using experimental data from p+p collisions at various collision energies, the model provides a very good description of the charged hadron and net proton rapidity distributions in Au+Au collisions from 7.7 to 200 GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at 8.77 and 17.3 GeV. We demonstrate the importance of fluctuations of baryon densities to string junctions for describing net-proton distributions at collision energies of 62.4 and 200 GeV. Including this improved baryon stopping description along with the requirement of strangeness neutrality also yields a good description of identified particle yields as functions of the collision energy above 7.7 GeV. We further study asymmetric p+Al and (p, d, $^3$He)+Au collisions at the top RHIC energy and p+Pb, Xe+Xe, and Pb+Pb collisions at LHC energies. We identify the produced particle rapidity distributions in asymmetric collision systems as particularly useful for constraining models of the early-time longitudinal dynamics.

description: We explore the possibility of fully replacing a plasma physics kinetic simulator with a graph neural network-based simulator. We focus on this class of surrogate models given the similarity between their message-passing update mechanism and the traditional physics solver update, and the possibility of enforcing known physical priors into the graph construction and update. We show that our model learns the kinetic plasma dynamics of the one-dimensional plasma model, a predecessor of contemporary kinetic plasma simulation codes, and recovers a wide range of well-known kinetic plasma processes, including plasma thermalization, electrostatic fluctuations about thermal equilibrium, and the drag on a fast sheet and Landau damping. We compare the performance against the original plasma model in terms of run-time, conservation laws, and temporal evolution of key physical quantities. The limitations of the model are presented and possible directions for higher-dimensional surrogate models for kinetic plasmas are discussed.

description: The stability and equation of state of quark matter are studied within both two-flavor and (2+1)-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) models including the vector interactions. With a free parameter $α$, the Lagrangian is constructed by two parts, the original NJL Lagrangian and the Fierz transformation of it, as $L=(1-α) L_{\rm{NJL}}+αL_{\rm{Fierz}}$. We find that there is a possibility for both $ud$ nonstrange and $uds$ strange matter being absolute stable, depending on the interplay of the confinement with quark vector interaction and the exchange interaction channels. The calculated quark star properties can reconcile with the recently measured masses and radii of PSR J0030+0451 and PSR J0740+6620, as well as the tidal deformability of GW170817. Furthermore, the more strongly-interacting quark matter in the nonstrange stars allows a stiffer equation of state and consequently a higher maximum mass ($\sim2.7\, M_{\odot}$) than the strange ones ($\sim2.1\, M_{\odot}$). The sound velocities in strange and nonstrange quark star matter are briefly discussed compared to those of neutron star matter.

description: Ultrafast control of magnetization on the nanometer length scale, in particular all-optical switching, is key to putting ultrafast magnetism on the path towards future technological application in data storage technology. However, magnetization manipulation with light on this length scale is challenging due to the wavelength limitations of optical radiation. Here, we excite transient magnetic gratings in a GdFe alloy with a periodicity of 87 nm by interference of two coherent femtosecond light pulses in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range at the free electron laser facility FERMI. The subsequent ultrafast evolution of the magnetization pattern is probed by diffraction of a third, time-delayed pulse tuned to the Gd N-edge at a wavelength of 8.3 nm. By examining the simultaneously recorded first and second diffraction orders and by performing reference real-space measurements with a wide-field magneto-optical microscope with femtosecond time resolution, we can conclusively demonstrate the ultrafast emergence of all-optical switching on the nanometer length scale.

description: We generate probabilistic predictions of the low-redshift ($z < 0.2$) synchrotron Cosmic Web for half of the Northern Sky. In particular, we predict the contribution to the specific intensity function at $ν_\mathrm{obs} = 150\ \mathrm{MHz}$ from merger shocks in clusters and accretion shocks in filaments, both of which arise during large-scale structure formation. We assume a primordial magnetogenesis scenario, but our method is general enough to allow for an exploration of alternative magnetogenesis scenarios - and even alternative radiation mechanisms and spectral windows. In the future, by comparing different predictions, one could infer the most plausible physical model from a synchrotron Cosmic Web detection. Our method combines Bayesian large-scale structure reconstructions, snapshots of an MHD cosmological simulation, a Gaussian random field, and a ray tracing approach. The results help to select targets for deep observations and can be used in actual detection experiments. We highlight predictions for the Hercules Cluster, the Coma Cluster, Abell 2199, Abell 2255, the Lockman Hole and the Ursa Major Supercluster. At degree-scale resolution, the median specific intensity reaches $m_{I_ν} \sim 10^{-1}\ ξ_e\ \mathrm{Jy\ deg^{-2}}$, where $ξ_e$ is the electron acceleration efficiency.

description: We consider a model of star copolymers, based on self-avoiding walks, where the arms of the star can be chemically distinct. The copolymeric star is attached to an impenetrable surface at a vertex of unit degree and the different monomers constituting the star have different interaction strengths with the surface. When the star is adsorbed at the surface it can be desorbed by applying a force, either at a vertex of degree 1 or at the central vertex of the star. We give some rigorous results about the free energy of the system and use these to establish the general form of the phase diagrams, and the orders of certain phase transitions in the system. We also consider the special case of spiders, ie stars constrained to have all degree 1 vertices in the surface.

description: In high-energy particle collisions, charged track finding is a complex yet crucial endeavour. We propose a quantum algorithm, specifically quantum template matching, to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of track finding. Abstracting the Quantum Amplitude Amplification routine by introducing a data register, and utilising a novel oracle construction, allows data to be parsed to the circuit and matched with a hit-pattern template, without prior knowledge of the input data. Furthermore, we address the challenges posed by missing hit data, demonstrating the ability of the quantum template matching algorithm to successfully identify charged-particle tracks from hit patterns with missing hits. Our findings therefore propose quantum methodologies tailored for real-world applications and underline the potential of quantum computing in collider physics.

description: We present a determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton from HERA data using a PDF parametrization inspired by a quantum statistical model of the proton dynamics. This parametrization is characterised by a very small number of parameters, yet it leads to a reasonably good description of the data, comparable with other parametrizations on the market. It may thus provide an alternative to standard parametrizations, useful for studying parametrization bias and to possibly simplify the fit procedure thanks to the small number of parameters. Interestingly, the model reproduces key physical features, such as a $\bar d$ distribution larger than $\bar u$, that HERA data alone are not able to constrain when using more flexible parametrizations. Moreover, polarized distributions are described in the model by the same parameters of the unpolarized ones, giving us the possibility of extracting both types of distributions within the same fit.

description: Football is the most popular sport worldwide and results in a high frequency of injuries. So far, mainly injuries in professional football have been investigated, and the literature lacks data regarding detailed injury epidemiology and current prevention data in amateur football tournaments. Materials and methods A prospective cohort study investigated an international amateur football tournament, the UEFA Regions’ Cup, which took place in 2019 in Germany. Injury epidemiology, current prevention strategies of the teams and the implementation of the UEFA concussion protocol were investigated in detail by means of standardized injury definitions and data samples for football (Fuller et al., Scand J Med Sci Sports 16:83–92, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0838.2006.00528.x, 2006). Results 138 player of 8 teams participated in this study, while 39 players were excluded. Overall injury incidence was 12.5 per 1000 h total football exposure, 43.5 per 1000 h for match exposure. No injuries were registered during training. Injury prevalence was 14.1% per player and 1.1 injuries per match were registered. The lower extremity was predominantly affected by injuries (71.4%) and the majority of injuries (78.6%) were non-severe injury types like contusions (50%) and sprains (18.2%). Two head injuries, one contusion and one skin lesion, were handled by the guidelines of the UEFA concussion protocol. 44.4% of the players indicated at least one previous injury before tournament, 45.3% of them during the last two football seasons before start of the tournament. Injury prevention performance was included in all participating teams during the tournament by warm up or training strategies (100%). During the warm-up program just 5 exercises of the FIFA 11 + program was detected by this investigation in participating teams to be done by more half of the teams. Running exercises were the most frequently performed exercises, while trunk muscle exercises were less represented (14.3%). Conclusion This study presents for the first time epidemiological injury and prevention data of the UEFA Regions Cup. Injury incidence was higher compared to injury reports of regular seasons, but lower compared to other amateur football tournaments. Currently used prevention programs revealed trunk muscle exercises as often neglected.

description: We give evidence that fully supersymmetric Anti-de Sitter vacua of extended supergravity with a residual gauge group containing an abelian factor cannot be scale separated as a consequence of the weak gravity conjecture. We prove this for N=2 and N=8 supergravity and we explain how our argument applies also to vacua with partially broken, but extended residual supersymmetry. We finally discuss possible loopholes and especially how certain N=1 models can evade our reasoning. Our results suggest that N=0,1 supersymmetry at the lagrangian level might be the most promising chances to obtain a truly four-dimensional effective description of quantum gravity.

description: During secondary school, students’ well-being is challenged in manifold ways and declines continuously. To address this issue, we designed and evaluated a six-day online art-of-living intervention to foster eighth and ninth graders’ (N = 69) well-being. Art-of-living (AoL) is based on empirical evidence and conceptualizes strategies that lead to well-being. We tested the effectiveness of the AoL training and investigated the possible contribution of body-related AoL exercises to cognitive exercises by comparing two intervention groups (cognitive training vs. cognitive and body-focused training) and a waitlist control group. Levels of AoL and well-being at pretest, posttest, and two-week follow-up showed that both significantly increased in the intervention groups. No significant differences were found between the cognitive and combined training. We discuss methodological issues of the study and propose that the approach to enhance student well-being by using art-of-living exercises is fruitful for application in school and should be explored further.

description: This paper reports the first high-performance acoustic filters toward millimeter wave (mmWave) bands using transferred single-crystal thin film lithium niobate (LiNbO3). By transferring LiNbO3 on the top of silicon (Si) and sapphire (Al2O3) substrates with an intermediate amorphous Si (aSi) bonding and sacrificial layer, we demonstrate compact acoustic filters with record-breaking performance beyond 20 GHz. In the LN-aSi-Al2O3 platform, the third-order ladder filter exhibits low insertion loss (IL) of 1.62 dB and 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 19.8% at 22.1 GHz, while in the LN-aSi-Si platform, the filter shows low IL of 2.38 dB and FBW of 18.2% at 23.5 GHz. Material analysis validates the great crystalline quality of the stacks. The high-resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) shows full width half maximum (FWHM) of 53 arcsec for Al2O3 and 206 arcsec for Si, both remarkably low compared to piezoelectric thin films of similar thickness. The reported results bring the state-of-the-art (SoA) of compact acoustic filters to much higher frequencies, and highlight transferred LiNbO3 as promising platforms for mmWave filters in future wireless front ends.

description: The enhanced photonic spin hall effect (PSHE) plays a positive role in the flexible manipulation of photons. Here, by combining Dirac semimetals with Bragg reflector constructed by one-dimensional photonic crystal, we theoretically design a simple multilayer structure to enhance and manipulate the PSHE. Through the detailed and optimal design of the conductivity characteristics of Dirac semimetals and the structural parameters of the whole model, we realize the excitation of Optical Tamm states (OTSs) in the multilayer structure, so that the PSHE can be enhanced and controllable. The theoretical results show that by optimizing the Fermi energy and the thickness of Dirac semimetal, the reflection coefficient ratio can be increased under p-polarization and s-polarization, thus creating conditions for enhanced PSHE. In addition, the effects of the incident angle and the parameters of the spacer layer on the PSHE are also clarified. We believe above results can provide a new paradigm for the construction of controllable spin devices.

description: Fungicides and chemicals can control crop diseases to a certain level, but due to their concerns regarding human health and environment, utilization of microorganisms as biological control agents is the best alternative. Plant beneficial microbes are abundant in the soil nearby the plant roots and within the healthy plant tissue. In recent years, application of actinomycetes as biocontrol agent against phytopathogenic fungi has increased. Numerous strains of actinomycetes have been extensively utilized to manage plant diseases. Actinomycetes are reservoir of several bioactive compounds and industrially important enzymes. It is widely distributed in the agro-environment, particularly in the plant rhizosphere, and influences plant growth and protection against diseases. Considering the potential of the actinomycetes          and their frequency and dominance in the agro-environment, it would be judicious to promote actinomycetes inoculants for the management of plant diseases.

description: This work describes sputtered scandium aluminum nitride (ScAlN) thin-film bulk acoustic resonators (FBAR) at millimeter wave (mmWave) with high quality factor (Q) using platinum (Pt) electrodes. FBARs with combinations of Pt and aluminum (Al) electrodes, i.e., Al top Al bottom, Pt top Al bottom, Al top Pt bottom, and Pt top Pt bottom, are built to study the impact of electrodes on mmWave FBARs. The demonstrated FBAR with Pt top and bottom electrodes achieve electromechanical coupling (k2) of 4.0% and Q of 116 for the first-order symmetric (S1) mode at 13.7 GHz, and k2 of 1.8% and Q of 94 for third-order symmetric (S3) mode at 61.6 GHz. Through these results, we confirmed that even in the frequency band of approximately 60 GHz, ScAlN FBAR can achieve a Q factor approaching 100 with optimized fabrication and acoustic/EM design. Further development calls for stacks with better quality in piezoelectric and metallic layers.

description: We explore the merits of linear-response range-separated time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) for the calculation of photoionization spectra. We consider two variants of range-separated TDDFT, namely the timedependent range-separated hybrid (TDRSH) scheme which uses a global range-separation parameter and the timedependent locally range-separated hybrid (TDLRSH) which uses a local range-separation parameter, and compare with standard time-dependent local-density approximation (TDLDA) and time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF). We show how to calculate photoionization spectra with these methods using the Sternheimer approach formulated in a nonorthogonal B-spline basis set with appropriate frequency-dependent boundary conditions. We illustrate these methods on the photoionization spectrum of the Be atom, focusing in particular on the core resonances. Both the TDRSH and TDLRSH photoionization spectra are found to constitute a large improvement over the TDLDA photoionization spectrum and a more modest improvement over the TDHF photoionization spectrum.
Top-quark pole mass extraction at NNLO accuracy, from total, single- and double-differential cross sections for $t\bar{t}+X$ production at the LHC

description: We extract the top-quark mass value in the on-shell renormalization scheme from the comparison of theoretical predictions for $pp \rightarrow t\bar{t} + X$ at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD accuracy with experimental data collected by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations for absolute total, normalized single-differential and double-differential cross-sections during Run 1, Run 2 and the ongoing Run 3 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). For the theory computations of heavy-quark pair-production we use the MATRIX framework, interfaced to PineAPPL for the generation of grids of theory predictions, which can be efficiently used a-posteriori during the fit, performed within xFitter. We take several state-of-the-art parton distribution functions (PDFs) as input for the fit and evaluate their associated uncertainties, as well as the uncertainties arising from renormalization and factorization scale variation. Fit uncertainties related to the datasets are also part of the extracted uncertainty of the top-quark mass and turn out to be of similar size as the combined scale and PDF uncertainty. Fit results from different PDF sets agree among each other within 1$σ$ uncertainty, whereas some datasets related to $t\bar{t}$ decay in different channels (dileptonic vs. semileptonic) point towards top-quark mass values in slight tension among each other, although still compatible within $2.5 σ$ accuracy. Our results are compatible with the PDG 2022 top-quark pole-mass value. Our work opens the road towards more complex simultaneous NNLO fits of PDFs, the strong coupling $α_s(M_Z)$ and the top-quark mass, using the currently most precise experimental data on $t\bar{t} + X$ total and multi-differential cross-sections from the LHC.

description: Thermal fatigue is a common failure mode in electronic solder joints, yet the role of microstructure is incompletely understood. Here, we quantify the evolution of microstructure and damage in Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu joints throughout a ball grid array (BGA) package using EBSD mapping of localised subgrains, recrystallisation and heavily coarsened Ag3Sn. We then interpret the results with a multi-scale modelling approach that links from a continuum model at the package/board scale through to a crystal plasticity finite element model at the microstructure scale. We measure and explain the dependence of damage evolution on (i) the beta-Sn crystal orientation(s) in single and multigrain joints, and (ii) the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between tin grains in cyclic twinned multigrain joints. We further explore the relative importance of the solder microstructure versus the joint location in the array. The results provide a basis for designing optimum solder joint microstructures for thermal fatigue resistance.
