description: We adapt the method of Monte Carlo configuration interaction to calculate core-hole states and use this for the computation of X-ray emission and absorption values. We consider CO, CH$_{4}$, NH$_{3}$, H$_{2}$O, HF, HCN, CH$_{3}$OH, CH$_{3}$F, HCl and NO using a 6-311G** basis. We also look at carbon monoxide with a stretched geometry and discuss the dependence of its results on the cutoff used. The Monte Carlo configuration interaction results are compared with EOM-CCSD values for X-ray emission and with experiment for X-ray absorption. Oscillator strengths are also computed and we quantify the multireference nature of the wavefunctions to suggest when approaches based on a single reference would be expected to be successful.

description: Moments of the $ϕ$ meson spectral function in vacuum and in nuclear matter are analyzed, combining a model based on chiral SU(3) effective field theory (with kaonic degrees of freedom) and finite-energy QCD sum rules. For the vacuum we show that the spectral density is strongly constrained by a recent accurate measurement of the $e^+ e^- \to K^+ K^-$ cross section. In nuclear matter the $ϕ$ spectrum is modified by interactions of the decay kaons with the surrounding nuclear medium, leading to a significant broadening and an asymmetric deformation of the $ϕ$ meson peak. We demonstrate that both in vacuum and nuclear matter, the first two moments of the spectral function are compatible with finite-energy QCD sum rules. A brief discussion of the next-higher spectral moment involving strange four-quark condensates is also presented.

description: We first investigate a connected quiver consisting of all dominant maximal weights for an integrable highest weight module in affine type A. This quiver provides an efficient method to obtain all dominant maximal weights. Then, we completely determine the representation type of cyclotomic Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras of arbitrary level in affine type A, by using the quiver we construct. This result gives a complete classification for the representation type of blocks of cyclotomic Hecke algebras since cyclotomic KLR algebras of type $A^{(1)}_\ell$ form a one-parameter family and cyclotomic Hecke algebras occur at a special parameter, i.e., $t=-2$ if $\ell=1$ and $t=(-1)^{\ell+1}$ if $\ell\geq2$.

description: Air pollution (AP) poses a great threat to human health, and people are paying more attention than ever to its prediction. Accurate prediction of AP helps people to plan for their outdoor activities and aids protecting human health. In this paper, long-short term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been used to predict the future concentration of air pollutants (APS) in Macau. Additionally, meteorological data and data on the concentration of APS have been utilized. Moreover, in Macau, some air quality monitoring stations (AQMSs) have less observed data in quantity, and, at the same time, some AQMSs recorded less observed data of certain types of APS. Therefore, the transfer learning and pre-trained neural networks have been employed to assist AQMSs with less observed data to build a neural network with high prediction accuracy. The experimental sample covers a period longer than 12-year and includes daily measurements from several APS as well as other more classical meteorological values. Records from five stations, four out of them are AQMSs and the remaining one is an automatic weather station, have been prepared from the aforesaid period and eventually underwent to computational intelligence techniques to build and extract a prediction knowledge-based system. As shown by experimentation, LSTM RNNs initialized with transfer learning methods have higher prediction accuracy; it incurred shorter training time than randomly initialized recurrent neural networks.

description: We investigate the regularity of the positive roots of a non-negative function of one-variable. A modified Hölder space $\mathcal{F}^β$ is introduced such that if $f\in \mathcal{F}^β$ then $f^α\in C^{αβ}$. This provides sufficient conditions to overcome the usual limitation in the square root case ($α= 1/2$) for Hölder functions that $f^{1/2}$ need be no more than $C^1$ in general. We also derive bounds on the wavelet coefficients of $f^α$, which provide a finer understanding of its local regularity.

Oligodontia, a severe form of tooth agenesis, is genetically and phenotypically a heterogeneous condition. Although significant efforts have been made, the genetic etiology of dental agenesis remains largely unknown. In the present study, we performed whole-exome sequencing to identify the causative mutations in Chinese families in whom oligodontia segregates with dominant inheritance. We detected a heterozygous missense mutation (c.632G>A [p.Arg211Gln]) in WNT10B in all affected family members. By Sanger sequencing a cohort of 145 unrelated individuals with non-syndromic oligodontia, we identified three additional mutations (c.569C>G [p.Pro190Arg], c.786G>A [p.Trp262∗], and c.851T>G [p.Phe284Cys]). Interestingly, analysis of genotype-phenotype correlations revealed that mutations in WNT10B affect the development of permanent dentition, particularly the lateral incisors. Furthermore, a functional assay demonstrated that each of these mutants could not normally enhance the canonical Wnt signaling in HEPG2 epithelial cells, in which activity of the TOPFlash luciferase reporter was measured. Notably, these mutant WNT10B ligands could not efficiently induce endothelial differentiation of dental pulp stem cells. Our findings provide the identification of autosomal-dominant WNT10B mutations in individuals with oligodontia, which increases the spectrum of congenital tooth agenesis and suggests attenuated Wnt signaling in endothelial differentiation of dental pulp stem cells.

description: Ensemble technique and under-sampling technique are both effective tools used for imbalanced dataset classification problems. In this paper, a novel ensemble method combining the advantages of both ensemble learning for biasing classifiers and a new under-sampling method is proposed. The under-sampling method is named Binary PSO instance selection; it gathers with ensemble classifiers to find the most suitable length and combination of the majority class samples to build a new dataset with minority class samples. The proposed method adopts multi-objective strategy, and contribution of this method is a notable improvement of the performances of imbalanced classification, and in the meantime guaranteeing a best integrity possible for the original dataset. We experimented the proposed method and compared its performance of processing imbalanced datasets with several other conventional basic ensemble methods. Experiment is also conducted on these imbalanced datasets using an improved version where ensemble classifiers are wrapped in the Binary PSO instance selection. According to experimental results, our proposed methods outperform single ensemble methods, state-of-the-art under-sampling methods, and also combinations of these methods with the traditional PSO instance selection algorithm.

description: To advance quantum information science a constant pursuit is the search for physical systems that meet the stringent requirements for creating and preserving quantum entanglement. In atomic physics, robust two-qubit entanglement is typically achieved by strong, long-range interactions in the form of Coulomb interactions between ions or dipolar interactions between Rydberg atoms. While these interactions allow fast gates, atoms subject to these interactions must overcome the associated coupling to the environment and cross-talk among qubits. Local interactions, such as those requiring significant wavefunction overlap, can alleviate these detrimental effects yet present a new challenge: To distribute entanglement, qubits must be transported, merged for interaction, and then isolated for storage and subsequent operations. Here we show how, via a mobile optical tweezer, it is possible to prepare and locally entangle two ultracold neutral atoms, and then separate them while preserving their entanglement. While ground-state neutral atom experiments have measured dynamics consistent with spin entanglement, and detected entanglement with macroscopic observables, we are now able to demonstrate position-resolved two-particle coherence via application of a local gradient and parity measurements; this new entanglement-verification protocol could be applied to arbitrary spin-entangled states of spatially-separated atoms. The local entangling operation is achieved via ultracold spin-exchange interactions, and quantum tunneling is used to combine and separate atoms. Our toolset provides a framework for dynamically entangling remote qubits via local operations within a large-scale quantum register.

description: Evaluating the pathogenicity of a variant is challenging given the plethora of types of genetic evidence that laboratories consider. Deciding how to weigh each type of evidence is difficult, and standards have been needed. In 2015, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) published guidelines for the assessment of variants in genes associated with Mendelian diseases. Nine molecular diagnostic laboratories involved in the Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER) consortium piloted these guidelines on 99 variants spanning all categories (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign). Nine variants were distributed to all laboratories, and the remaining 90 were evaluated by three laboratories. The laboratories classified each variant by using both the laboratory's own method and the ACMG-AMP criteria. The agreement between the two methods used within laboratories was high (K-alpha = 0.91) with 79% concordance. However, there was only 34% concordance for either classification system across laboratories. After consensus discussions and detailed review of the ACMG-AMP criteria, concordance increased to 71%. Causes of initial discordance in ACMG-AMP classifications were identified, and recommendations on clarification and increased specification of the ACMG-AMP criteria were made. In summary, although an initial pilot of the ACMG-AMP guidelines did not lead to increased concordance in variant interpretation, comparing variant interpretations to identify differences and having a common framework to facilitate resolution of those differences were beneficial for improving agreement, allowing iterative movement toward increased reporting consistency for variants in genes associated with monogenic disease.

description: To conceptualize living systems based on the processes that create them, rather than their interactions with the environment, as in systems theory. Maturana and Varela (1969) at the University of Chile introduced the term autopoiesis (from Greek self and production). This concept emphasizes autonomy as the defining feature of living systems. It describes them as self-sustaining entities that preserve their identity through continuous self-renewal to preserve their unity. Furthermore, these systems can only be understood in reference to themselves, as all internal activities are inherently self-determined by self-production and self-referentiality. This thesis introduces the Fuzzy Autopoietic Knowledge Management (FAKM) model, which integrates the system theory of living systems, the cybernetic theory of viable systems, and the autopoiesis theory of autopoietic systems. The goal is to move beyond traditional knowledge management models that rely on Cartesian dualism (cognition/action) where knowledge is treated as symbolic information processing. Instead, the FAKM model adopts a dualism of organization/structure to define an autopoietic system within a sociotechnical approach. The model is experimentally applied to a manufacturing company in the Maule Region, south of Santiago, Chile.

description: Time-crystalline behavior has been predicted and observed in quantum central-spin systems with periodic driving and Ising interactions. Here, we theoretically show that it can also arise in central-spin systems with Heisenberg interactions. We present two methods to achieve this: application of a sufficiently large Zeeman splitting on the central spin compared to the satellite spins, or else by applying additional pulses to the central spin every Floquet period. In both cases, we show that the system exhibits a subharmonic response in spin magnetizations in the presence of disorder for both pure Heisenberg and XXZ interactions. Our results pertain to any XXZ central-spin system, including hyperfine-coupled electron-nuclear systems in quantum dots or color centers.

description: The unique properties of organic semiconductors make them versatile base materials for many applications ranging from light emitting diodes to transistors. The low spin-orbit coupling typical for carbon-based materials and the resulting long spin lifetimes give rise to a large influence of the electron spin on charge transport which can be exploited in spintronic devices or to improve solar cell efficiencies. Magnetic resonance techniques are particularly helpful to elucidate the microscopic structure of paramagnetic states in semiconductors as well as the transport processes they are involved in. However, in organic devices the nature of the dominant spin-dependent processes is still subject to considerable debate. Using multi-frequency pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance (pEDMR), we show that the spin-dependent response of P3HT/PCBM solar cells at low temperatures is governed by bipolar polaron pair recombination involving the positive and negative polarons in P3HT and PCBM, respectively, thus excluding a unipolar bipolaron formation as the main contribution to the spin-dependent charge transfer in this temperature regime. Moreover the polaron-polaron coupling strength and the recombination times of polaron pairs with parallel and antiparallel spins are determined. Our results demonstrate that the pEDMR pulse sequences recently developed for inorganic semiconductor devices can very successfully be transferred to the study of spin and charge transport in organic semiconductors, in particular when the different polarons can be distinguished spectrally.

description: John Edward Casida's research in pesticide toxicology led to more effective agricultural chemicals that are far safer for human and environmental health. He used pesticides as probes for his fundamental studies of metabolism and mode of action, resulting in great insight into biological chemistry and the underlying mechanisms of regulatory biology, ranging from voltage-gated sodium channels, through the ryanodine receptor and calcium regulation, the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channel, to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These discoveries, among many others, have had a profound impact on pharmacology and toxicology. His research career started with the introduction of DDT into agricultural practice and continued to assist in the development of many pesticides that dominate the market today. John Casida trained multiple generations of toxicologists who obtained leading positions in government, industry and academics. He spent many of his formative years in Madison, Wisconsin, where he entered the University of Wisconsin, received his BS, MS and PhD and then joined the faculty to become a full professor six years later. He then moved to the Entomology Department at the University of California, Berkeley where he remained active in teaching and research until his death. He loved laboratory science and this, coupled with insatiable curiosity and a gift for finding the unexpected, led to papers from his laboratory sparkling with creativity. He similarly loved teaching at all levels and had just finished grading the final examination in his toxicology class at the time of his passing. John won numerous national and international awards and is widely viewed as the premiere pesticide toxicologist.

description: Quantum impurity models (QIMs) are ubiquitous throughout physics. As simplified toy models they provide crucial insights for understanding more complicated strongly correlated systems, while in their own right are accurate descriptions of many experimental platforms. In equilibrium, their physics is well understood and have proven a testing ground for many powerful theoretical tools, both numerical and analytical, in use today. Their non-equilibrium physics is much less studied and understood. However, the recent advancements in non equilibrium integrable quantum systems through the development of generalized hydrodynamics (GHD) coupled with the fact that many archetypal QIMs are in fact integrable presents an enticing opportunity to enhance our understanding of these systems. We take a step towards this by expanding the framework of GHD to incorporate integrable interacting QIMs. We present a set of Bethe-Boltzmann type equations which incorporate the effects of impurity scattering and discuss the new aspects which include entropy production. These impurity GHD equations are then used to study a bipartioning quench wherein a relevant backscattering impurity is included at the location of the bipartition. The density and current profiles are studied as a function of the impurity strength and expressions for the entanglement entropy and full counting statistics are derived.

description: Recent experiments on the Ba$_3$XSb$_2$O$_9$ family have revealed materials that potentially realise spin- and spin-orbital liquid physics. However, the lattice structure of these materials is complicated due to the presence of charged X$^{2+}$-Sb$^{5+}$ dumbbells, with two possible orientations. To model the lattice structure, we consider a frustrated model of charged dumbbells on the triangular lattice, with long-range Coulomb interactions. We study this model using Monte Carlo simulation, and find a freezing temperature, $T_{\sf frz}$, at which the simulated structure factor matches well to low-temperature x-ray diffraction data for Ba$_3$CuSb$_2$O$_9$. At $T=T_{\sf frz}$ we find a complicated ``branching'' structure of superexchange-linked X$^{2+}$ clusters, and show that this gives a natural explanation for the presence of orphan spins. Finally we provide a plausible mechanism by which such dumbbell disorder can promote a spin-orbital resonant state with delocalised orphan spins.

description: If advanced extraterrestrial civilizations choose to construct vast numbers of Dyson spheres to harvest radiation energy, this could affect the characteristics of their host galaxies. Potential signatures of such astroengineering projects include reduced optical luminosity, boosted infrared luminosity and morphological anomalies. Here, we apply a technique pioneered by Annis (1999) to search for Kardashev type III civilizations in disk galaxies, based on the predicted offset of these galaxies from the optical Tully-Fisher relation. By analyzing a sample of 1359 disk galaxies, we are able to set a conservative upper limit at 3% on the fraction of local disks subject to Dysonian astroengineering on galaxy-wide scales. However, the available data suggests that a small subset of disk galaxies actually may be underluminous with respect to the Tully-Fisher relation in the way expected for Kardashev type III objects. Based on the optical morphologies and infrared-to-optical luminosity ratios of such galaxies in our sample, we conclude that none of them stand out as strong Kardashev type III candidates and that their inferred properties likely have mundane explanations. This allows us to set a tentative upper limit at 0.3% on the fraction of Karashev type III disk galaxies in the local Universe.

Cells rather strongly curved, gradually tapering from the middle to the poles. In general, towards the poles more strongly arched than in the middle. Apices narrowly rounded, no visible end pore. Cell wall colourless, without girdle bands, delicately striate (8–10 striae in 10 μm, in many cases hardly detectable).
 Dimensions: length 110–160 μm, breadth 10–13 μm, L/B ratio 9.7–13.8, curvature 120 o –146 o.
 Type:— THE NETHERLANDS. Drenthe: pool with Sphagnum in former quaking bog in estate Berkenrode, near Barger-Compascuum, 52.7632° N, 7.0073° E, in Sphagnum squeezing, pH 3,9 conductivity 38 μS cm-1. Van Westen, 15 June 2012 (holotype L! Hugo de Vries Lab 2018.01, preserved as a fixed natural sample).
Etymology:—The species is named after the Dutch phycologist Anton Joosten, who drew our attention to the characteristics of the above-described species.
 Differential diagnosis and ecology:— Cl. joostenii can easily be confused with Cl. archerianum var. minus Skuja. Cl. archerianum var. minus, as originally described by Skuja (1949: 105, pl. 22: 16) from Burma, is an insufficiently known taxon that, compared to our species, has narrower and obliquely truncate apices, whereas the ventral side in the midregion is slightly inflated. That latter feature is wanting in Cl. archerianum var. minus as depicted in Růžička’s (1977, pl. 28: 7) flora. We cannot preclude that this picture refers to our newly described Cl. joostenii. Cl. joostenii is exclusively found in acidic, oligotrophic moorland pools with Sphagnum vegetation. In the province of Drenthe, this species was found in over 50 locations, mainly with pH between 3.5 and 6 and conductivity between 20 and 60 μS cm-1. If the fine cell wall striation is overlooked, this species can easily be confused with Cl. parvulum Nägeli, a species, however, with a completely different ecological preference.

Cosmarium abbreviatiforme

description: Cosmarium abbreviatiforme Van Westen et Coesel sp. nov. (Figs 5, 15–20)
Cells slightly broader than long, deeply constricted. Sinus linear, closed to about half-way, then much dilated. Semicells in frontal view elliptic-hexagonal with broadly rounded angles, in lateral view globose, in apical view elliptic. Cell wall apparently smooth but faintly scrobiculate in high magnification, provided with widely spaced, fine pores. In apical view a characteristic line of pores crossing the semicell broadwise, in the very centre flanked by two additional pores on both sides resulting in a hexagonal pattern of pores. Chloroplast with a single pyrenoid.
Dimensions: length 12.5–15 μm, breadth 13–16.5 μm, thickness 6.3–8.1 μm, isthmus 3.3–4.1 μm.
 Type:— THE NETHERLANDS. Drenthe: oligo-mesotrophic pool in estate Schepping in Holthe near Beilen, 52.8435° N, 6.5447° E, between mosses, pH 7.4, conductivity 27 μS cm-1. Van Westen, 22 September 2016 (holotype L! Hugo de Vries Lab 2018.02, preserved as a fixed natural sample).

 Differential diagnosis:—As its name already indicates, C. abbreviatiforme resembles C. abbreviatum Raciborski (1885: 83, pl. 10: 13) as described from Poland. Main difference is in the shape of the lateral angles: about rectangular in C. abbreviatum, broadly rounded in C. abbreviatiforme, as well as in the shape of the semicell apex: concavetruncate in C. abbreviatum, convex-truncate in C. abbreviatiforme. Thus, semicell outline in C. abbreviatiforme is about elliptic rather than hexagonal. Next to that, cell dimensions in C. abbreviatiforme are smaller than those in the nominate variety of C. abbreviatum. C. abbreviatum var. minus (West et G.S. West) Willi Krieger et Gerloff (1969: 242, pl. 42: 18) in its turn has smaller dimensions than C. abbreviatiforme and, like the nominate variety of C. abbreviatum, is characterized by rectangular lateral angles.
 Cosmarium abbreviatiforme is found in several locations in the south-west of the province of Drenthe in shallow pools on sandy soil in nature restauration areas. The pools are fed by rainwater, with some influence of ground water. pH 5–8, conductivity 20–40 μS cm-1.

description: The Bialas-Bzdak model of elastic proton-proton scattering assumes a purely imaginary forward scattering amplitude, which consequently vanishes at the diffractive minima. We extended the model to arbitrarily large real parts in a way that constraints from unitarity are satisfied. The resulting model is able to describe elastic $pp$ scattering not only at the lower ISR energies but also at $\sqrt{s}=$7~TeV in a statistically acceptable manner, both in the diffractive cone and in the region of the first diffractive minimum. The total cross-section as well as the differential cross-section of elastic proton-proton scattering is predicted for the future LHC energies of $\sqrt{s}=$13, 14, 15~TeV and also to 28~TeV. A non-trivial, significantly non-exponential feature of the differential cross-section of elastic proton-proton scattering is analyzed and the excitation function of the non-exponential behavior is predicted. The excitation function of the shadow profiles is discussed and related to saturation at small impact parameters.

Cosmarium kouwetsii

description: Cosmarium kouwetsii Van Westen et Coesel sp. nov. (Figs 6, 21–26)
Cells about as long as broad, moderately constricted. Sinus linear, closed for the most part. Semicells in frontal view trapeziform with broadly rounded angles, in lateral view subglobose, in apical view elliptic with a slight median inflation. Cell wall smooth, provided with widely spaced, fine pores. Chloroplast with a single pyrenoid.
Dimensions: length 11–14 μm, breadth 11.5–13 μm, thickness 7.5–9 μm, isthmus 6.8–7.3 μm.
 Type:— THE NETHERLANDS. Drenthe: shallow pool in Hijkerveld near Hijken, 52.920° N, 6.487° E, among submerged Sphagnum on sandy soil, pH 4.3 conductivity 52 μS cm-1. Van Westen, 4 Februari 2017 (holotype L! Hugo de Vries Lab 2018.03, preserved as a fixed natural sample).
 Etymology:—The above-described species is named in honour of Dr Frans Kouwets, recognized specialist in small, taxonomically problematic Cosmarium species.
 Differential diagnosis:— Cosmarium kouwetsii belongs to a group of small-sized, smooth-walled Cosmaria the taxonomy of which often is a source of confusion by want of well-marked, differentiating characteristics. Also in relation to our newly described species a number of taxa may be found resembling it to a lesser or greater degree. In particular may be considered Cosmarium sp. and C. subadoxum Grönblad in Kouwets (1987) from the French Auvergne, C. succisum forma jaoi Woodhead et Tweed in Gerrath & Denny (1988) from Sierra Leone, C. geometricum var. suecicum Borge in Taft (1945) from Lake Erie in northern USA, and in Messikommer (1963) from western Switzerland.
 Apart from any possibly incorrect identification, none of those taxa fully agrees with our C. kouwetsii. Most consistent difference is in the relative breadth of the cell isthmus and the absence of a central inflation. Where all pictures provided in the above-mentioned references show deeply constricted cells, breadth of the isthmus being at best one third of cell breadth, C. kouwetsii is characterized by but moderately constricted cells with an isthmus that is at least half of the cell breadth.
 Cosmarium kouwetsii was only found in rather acid moorland pools among Sphagnum vegetation. pH 3–5, EC 10– 60 μS cm-1. Accompanying desmid species: Actinotaenium cucurbita (Ralfs) Teiling, Cosmarium pyramidatum Ralfs, Euastrum binale var. gutwinskii (Schmidle) Homfeld, Micrasterias truncata Ralfs, and Spondylosium pulchellum W. Archer.

description: Binary black holes on quasicircular orbits with spins aligned with their orbital angular momentum have been testbeds for analytic and numerical relativity for decades, not least because symmetry ensures that such configurations are equilibrium solutions to the spin-precession equations. In this work, we show that these solutions can be unstable when the spin of the higher-mass black hole is aligned with the orbital angular momentum and the spin of the lower-mass black hole is anti-aligned. Spins in these configurations are unstable to precession to large misalignment when the binary separation $r$ is between the values $r_{\rm ud\pm}= (\sqrt{χ_1} \pm \sqrt{q χ_2})^4 (1-q)^{-2} M$, where $M$ is the total mass, $q \equiv m_2/m_1$ is the mass ratio, and $χ_1$ ($χ_2$) is the dimensionless spin of the more (less) massive black hole. This instability exists for a wide range of spin magnitudes and mass ratios and can occur in the strong-field regime near merger. We describe the origin and nature of the instability using recently developed analytical techniques to characterize fully generic spin precession. This instability provides a channel to circumvent astrophysical spin alignment at large binary separations, allowing significant spin precession prior to merger affecting both gravitational-wave and electromagnetic signatures of stellar-mass and supermassive binary black holes.

The Role of Educational Leadership in Implementation of Education for Sustainability: A Case Study of the Principal of a School Located in the Rural Community of Nepal
Creators: name: SHAHI, SUDEEP
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study explores the relationship between education for sustainability (EfS) and educational leadership. In this study, the whole-school approach to sustainability is utilized as a lens to understand EfS and transformational leadership is used as a theoretical approach to educational leadership. The interaction between the two approaches leads to the conceptual framework of this study. The study employs a single case-study design, where the participant is the principal of a school located in a rural community of Nepal. This study identifies the educational leadership practices that facilitate the implementation of EfS.

description: The QM9 dataset [Scientific Data, Vol. 1, 140022 (2014)] became a standard dataset to benchmark machine learning methods, especially on molecular graphs. It contains geometries as well as multiple computed molecular properties of 133,885 compounds at B3LYP/6-31G(2df,p) level of theory, including frontier orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) energies. However, the accuracy of HOMO/LUMO predictions from density functional theory, including hybrid methods such as B3LYP, is limited for many applications. In contrast, the GW method significantly improves HOMO/LUMO prediction accuracy, with mean unsigned errors in the GW100 benchmark dataset of 100 meV. In this work, we present a new dataset of HOMO/LUMO energies for the QM9 compounds, computed using the GW method. This database may serve as a benchmark of HOMO/LUMO prediction, delta-learning, and transfer learning, particularly for larger molecules where GW is the most accurate but still numerically feasible method. We expect this dataset to enable the development of more accurate machine learning models for predicting molecular properties

description: We present an experimental realization of an autonomous Maxwell's Demon, which extracts microscopic information from a System and reduces its entropy by applying feedback. It is based on two capacitively coupled single electron devices, both integrated on the same electronic circuit. This setup allows a detailed analysis of the thermodynamics of both the Demon and the System as well as their mutual information exchange. The operation of the Demon is directly observed as a temperature drop in the System. We also observe a simultaneous temperature rise in the Demon arising from the thermodynamic cost of generating the mutual information.
