description: State $g^{\hat{n}}\hat{a}^{†m}\left\vert α\right\rangle $ and state $\hat{a}^{†m}g^{\hat{n}}\left\vert α\right\rangle $ are same to state $\hat{a}^{†m}\left\vert gα\right\rangle $, which is called as multi-photon-addition amplified coherent state (MPAACS) by us. Here, $\hat{n}$, $\hat{a}^{†}$, $\left\vert α\right\rangle $, $g$ ( $\geq 1$), and $m$ are photon number operator, creation operator, coherent state, gain facor, and an interger, respectively. We study mathematical and physical properties for these MPAACSs, including normalization, photon component analysis, Wigner function, effective gain, quadrature squeezing, and equivalent input noise. Actually, the MPAACS, which contains more nonclassicality, is an amplified version of photon-added coherent state (PACS) introduced by Agrwal and Tara [Phys. Rev. A 43, 492 (1991)]. Our work provides theoretical references for implementing amplifiers for light fields.

description: Field mediated entanglement experiments probe the quantum superposition of macroscopically distinct field configurations. We show that this phenomenon can be described by using a transparent quantum field theoretical formulation of electromagnetism and gravity in the field basis. The strength of such a description is that it explicitly displays the superposition of macroscopically distinct states of the field. In the case of (linearised) quantum general relativity, this formulation exhibits the quantum superposition of geometries giving rise to the effect.

description: In many practical problems, there is interest in the estimation of mixed effect projections for new data that are outside the range of the training data. Examples include predicting extreme small area means for rare populations or making treatment decisions for patients who do not fit typical risk profiles. Standard methods have long been known to struggle with such problems since the training data may not provide enough information about potential model changes for these new data values (extrapolation bias). We propose a new framework called Prediction Using Random-effect Extrapolation (PURE) which involves constructing a generalized independent variable hull (gIVH) to isolate a minority training set which is “close” to the prediction space, followed by a regrouping of the minority data according to the response variable which results in a new (but misspecified) random effect distribution. This misspecification reflects “extrapolated random effects” which prove vital to capture information that is needed for accurate model projections. Projections are then made using classified mixed model prediction (CMMP) (Jiang et al., 2018) with the regrouped minority data. Comprehensive simulation studies and analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study (NLMS) demonstrate superior predictive performance in these very challenging paradigms. An asymptotic analysis reveals why PURE results in more accurate projections.
Effective field theory for vibrations in odd-mass nuclei

description: Heavy even-even nuclei exhibit low-energy collective excitations that are separated in scale from the microscopic (fermion) degrees of freedom. This separation of scale allows us to approach nuclear vibrations within an effective field theory (EFT). In odd-mass nuclei collective and single-particle properties compete at low energies, and this makes their description more challenging. In this article we describe odd-mass nuclei with ground-state spin $I=\sfrac{1}{2}$ by means of an EFT that couples a fermion to the collective degrees of freedom of an even-even core. The EFT relates observables such as energy levels, electric quadrupole ($E2$) transition strengths, and magnetic dipole ($M1$) moments of the odd-mass nucleus to those of its even-even neighbor, and allows us to quantify theoretical uncertainties. For isotopes of rhodium and silver the theoretical description is consistent with data within experimental and theoretical uncertainties. Several testable predictions are made.

description: Abstract: Diabetic cardiomyopathy describes heart disease in patients with diabetes who have no other cardiac conditions but have a higher risk of developing heart failure. Specific therapies to treat the diabetic heart are limited. A key mechanism involved in the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy is dysregulation of cardiac energy metabolism. The aim of this study was to determine if increasing the expression of medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (MCAD; encoded by Acadm), a key regulator of fatty acid oxidation, could improve the function of the diabetic heart. Male mice were administered streptozotocin to induce diabetes, which led to diastolic dysfunction 8 weeks post-injection. Mice then received cardiac-selective adeno-associated viral vectors encoding MCAD (rAAV6:MCAD) or control AAV and were followed for 8 weeks. In the non-diabetic heart, rAAV6:MCAD increased MCAD expression (mRNA and protein) and increased Acadl and Acadvl, but an increase in MCAD enzyme activity was not detectable. rAAV6:MCAD delivery in the diabetic heart increased MCAD mRNA expression but did not significantly increase protein, activity, or improve diabetes-induced cardiac pathology or molecular metabolic and lipid markers. The uptake of AAV viral vectors was reduced in the diabetic versus non-diabetic heart, which may have implications for the translation of AAV therapies into the clinic. Key messages: The effects of increasing MCAD in the diabetic heart are unknown.Delivery of rAAV6:MCAD increased MCAD mRNA and protein, but not enzyme activity, in the non-diabetic heart.Independent of MCAD enzyme activity, rAAV6:MCAD increased Acadl and Acadvl in the non-diabetic heart.Increasing MCAD cardiac gene expression alone was not sufficient to protect against diabetes-induced cardiac pathology.AAV transduction efficiency was reduced in the diabetic heart, which has clinical implications.

description: Integrated photonic neural networks (IPNNs) are emerging as promising successors to conventional electronic AI accelerators as they offer substantial improvements in computing speed and energy efficiency. In particular, coherent IPNNs use arrays of Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) for unitary transformations to perform energy-efficient matrix-vector multiplication. However, the underlying MZI devices in IPNNs are susceptible to uncertainties stemming from optical lithographic variations and thermal crosstalk and can experience imprecisions due to non-uniform MZI insertion loss and quantization errors due to low-precision encoding in the tuned phase angles. In this paper, we, for the first time, systematically characterize the impact of such uncertainties and imprecisions (together referred to as imperfections) in IPNNs using a bottom-up approach. We show that their impact on IPNN accuracy can vary widely based on the tuned parameters (e.g., phase angles) of the affected components, their physical location, and the nature and distribution of the imperfections. To improve reliability measures, we identify critical IPNN building blocks that, under imperfections, can lead to catastrophic degradation in the classification accuracy. We show that under multiple simultaneous imperfections, the IPNN inferencing accuracy can degrade by up to 46%, even when the imperfection parameters are restricted within a small range. Our results also indicate that the inferencing accuracy is sensitive to imperfections affecting the MZIs in the linear layers next to the input layer of the IPNN.

description: Quantum technology based on cold-atom interferometers is showing great promise for fields such as inertial sensing and fundamental physics. However, the best precision achievable on Earth is limited by the free-fall time of the atoms, and their full potential can only be realized in Space where interrogation times of many seconds will lead to unprecedented sensitivity. Various mission scenarios are presently being pursued which plan to implement matter-wave inertial sensors. Toward this goal, we realize the first onboard operation of simultaneous $^{87}$Rb $-$ $^{39}$K interferometers in the weightless environment produced during parabolic flight. The large vibration levels ($10^{-2}~g/\sqrt{\rm Hz}$), acceleration range ($0-1.8~g$) and rotation rates ($5$ deg/s) during flight present significant challenges. We demonstrate the capability of our dual-quantum sensor by measuring the Eötvös parameter with systematic-limited uncertainties of $1.1 \times 10^{-3}$ and $3.0 \times 10^{-4}$ during standard- and micro-gravity, respectively. This constitutes the first test of the equivalence principle in a free-falling vehicle with quantum sensors. Our results are applicable to inertial navigation, and can be extended to the trajectory of a satellite for future Space missions.

description: We consider the problem of intelligently navigating through complex traffic. Urban situations are defined by the underlying map structure and special regulatory objects of e.g. a stop line or crosswalk. Thereon dynamic vehicles (cars, bicycles, etc.) move forward, while trying to keep accident risks low. Especially at intersections, the combination and interaction of traffic elements is diverse and human drivers need to focus on specific elements which are critical for their behavior. To support the analysis, we present in this paper the so-called Risk Navigation System (RNS). RNS leverages a graph-based local dynamic map with Time-To-X indicators for extracting upcoming sharp curves, intersection zones and possible vehicle-to-object collision points. In real car recordings, recommended velocity profiles to avoid risks are visualized within a 2D environment. By focusing on communicating not only the positional but also the temporal relation, RNS potentially helps to enhance awareness and prediction capabilities of the user.

description: First Order Reversal Curve (FORC) diagrams are a popular tool in geophysics and materials science for the characterization of magnetic particles of natural and synthetic origin. However, there is still a lot of controversy about the rigorous interpretation of the origin of certain features in a FORC diagram. In this study, we analyze FORCs computed by micromagnetic simulations of Co cubes with dimensions of 50, 100 and 150 nm and uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy. For the larger cubes we observe the formation of a stable two-domain state. The nucleation of a reversed domain and its subsequent annihilation are clearly visible as separate peaks in the FORC diagram. They spread out along the coordinate axis in the FORC diagram, which is associated with the bias field $H_U$ of a Preisach hysteron. Based on our findings, we state that a FORC diagram peak spreading along the $H_U$ axis can have its origin in the step-wise magnetization reversal driven by nucleation of domains in a single particle. This means that we have identified another mechanism apart from the well-known magnetostatic interaction between a set of particles that leads to features in the FORC diagram extending along the $H_U$-axis. Our study demonstrates that if FORCs shall be used as a quantitative tool to assess the microstructure of samples containing magnetic material, more information from other methods will be required to identify the correct physical mechanism by which a certain "fingerprint" in a FORC diagram is produced.

description: We consider a quantum walk with two marked vertices, sender and receiver, and analyze its application to perfect state transfer on complete bipartite graphs. First, the situation with both the sender and the receiver vertex in the same part of the graph is considered. We show that in this case the dynamics of the quantum walk is independent of the size of the second part and reduces to the one for the star graph where perfect state transfer is achieved. Second, we consider the situation where the sender and the receiver vertex are in the opposite parts of the graph. In such a case the state transfer with unit fidelity is achieved only when the parts have the same size.

description: A simple refluxing wet-chemical approach is employed for fabricating In2S3/Pt-TiO2 heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation. When the mass ratio between Pt-TiO2 and cubic-phased In2S3 (denoted as In2S3/Pt-TiO2) is two, the composite catalyst shows the highest hydrogen production, which exhibits an 82-fold enhancement over in-situ deposited Pt-In2S3. UV-vis diffuse reflectance and valence band X-ray photoelectron spectra elucidate that the conduction band of In2S3 is 0.3 eV more negative compared to that of TiO2, favoring charge separation in the nanocomposites. Photoelectrochemical transient photo-current measurements and optical pump - terahertz probe spectroscopic studies further corroborate the charge separation in In2S3/Pt-TiO2. The migration of photo-induced electrons from the In2S3 conduction band to the TiO2 conduction band and subsequently into the Pt nanoparticles is found to occur within 5 picoseconds. Based on the experimental evidence, a charge separation process is proposed which accounts for the enhanced activity exhibited by the In2S3/Pt-TiO2 composite catalysts.

description: We introduce the idea that the electronic band structure of a charge density wave system may mimic the electronic structure of graphene. In that case a class of materials quite different from graphene might be opened up to exploit graphene's remarkable electronic properties. The theory of such materials, along with superconductivity, is based on the material's dynamical, rather than its static, properties. The charge density wave system turns out to have a number of requirements: (1) a specific wave geometry simply related to graphene; (2) a self-consistency among the electrons that requires the net Coulomb and phonon-mediated parts of the electron-electron interactions to be attractive. We develop a model that leads to an analytical expression for the total energy in terms of the effective electron mass $μ$, the electron density $ρ_0$, and the strength $\tildeν_{K}$ of the net electron-electron interaction. For constant $μ>0$ and $ρ_0$, we examine the limitations set upon $\tildeν_{K}$ by self-consistency, stability, and the approximation in the electronic state calculation, and find them to be mutually compatible. This demonstrates the viability of our model.

Unravelling the Asymmetric Volatility Puzzle: A Novel Explanation of Volatility Through Anchoring

description: This paper discusses a novel explanation for asymmetric volatility based on the anchoring behavioral pattern. Anchoring as a heuristic bias causes investors focusing on recent price changes and price levels, which two lead to a belief in continuing trend and mean-reversion respectively. The empirical results support our theoretical explanation through an analysis of large price fluctuations in the S&P 500 and the resulting effects on implied and realized volatility. These results indicate that asymmetry (a negative relationship) between shocks and volatility in the subsequent period indeed exists. Moreover, contrary to previous research, our empirical tests also suggest that implied volatility is not simply an upward biased predictor of future deviation compensating for the variance of the volatility but rather, due to investors systematic anchoring to losses and gains in their volatility forecasts, it is a co-integrated yet asymmetric over/under estimated financial instrument. We also provide results indicating that the medium-term implied volatility (measured by the VIX Index) is an unbiased though inefficient estimation of realized volatility, while in contrast, the short-term volatility (measured by the recently introduced VXST Index representing the 9-day implied volatility) is also unbiased and yet efficient.

description: Superintegrable systems of 2nd order in 3 dimensions with exactly 3-parameter potentials are intriguing objects. Next to the nondegenerate 4-parameter potential systems they admit the maximum number of symmetry operators but their symmetry algebras don't close under commutation and not enough is known about their structure to give a complete classification. Some examples are known for which the 3-parameter system can be extended to a 4th order superintegrable system with a 4-parameter potential and 6 linearly independent symmetry generators. In this paper we use Bôcher contractions of the conformal Lie algebra $so(5,C)$ to itself to generate a large family of 3-parameter systems with 4th order extensions, on a variety of manifolds, and all from Bôcher contractions of a single "generic" system on the 3-sphere. We give a contraction scheme relating these systems. The results have myriad applications for finding explicit solutions for both quantum and classical systems.

description: Magnetization curves of the ferrimagnetic mixed spin-(1/2,S) Heisenberg chains are calculated with the help of density-matrix renormalization group method for several quantum spin numbers S=1, 3/2, 2 and 5/2. It is shown that the ferrimagnetic mixed spin-(1/2,S) Heisenberg chains exhibit irrespective of the spin value S exactly one intermediate magnetization plateau, which can be identified with the gapped Lieb-Mattis ferrimagnetic ground state. The magnetization plateau due to the Lieb-Mattis ferrimagnetism breaks down at a quantum phase transition towards the Luttinger spin liquid, which is characterized by a continuous change of the magnetization with the magnetic field until another quantum critical point is reached at the saturation field.

description: Existe um número significativo de pessoas em contexto domiciliário, cuja condição de saúde é caraterizada pela dependência no autocuidado. Estes cuidados prestados pelos familiares requerem, frequentemente, conhecimentos e habilidades de grande complexidade e intensidade, não estando os mesmos preparados para dar resposta adequada a essas necessidades. Os cuidados prestados por um membro de família a um idoso com dependência, podem originar uma sobrecarga intensa a esse familiar. Emerge a necessidade de capacitar os membros da família – familiares cuidadores – como recurso essencial nas respostas adequadas às necessidades dos utentes dependentes. Perante estas situações, torna-se crucial intervir junto destes cuidadores, com o objetivo de desenvolver intervenções de enfermagem de forma a ajudar os familiares a vivenciarem uma transição saudável no seu papel de cuidador, auxiliando-os a prestar cuidados de qualidade, mas também a desenvolver estratégias de coping adequadas para lidar com o stress causado pela sobrecarga do ato de cuidar. Objetivo: Analisar as necessidades e capacidades dos cuidadores informais que cuidam de pessoas idosas dependentes no autocuidado em contexto familiar. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura que utilizou a mnemónica PICO para compilar a pergunta de investigação. Procedeu-se à pesquisa de artigos na plataforma EBSCOhost, selecionando-se artigos publicados entre janeiro de 2010 e dezembro de 2022 nas bases de dados MEDLINE complete e CINAHL complete. Foram selecionados quatro artigos e seguiram-se as recomendações do método Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses – PRISMA. Resultados: A maioria dos artigos selecionados sugerem existir evidência científica de que existe sobrecarga dos cuidadores familiares. As terapêuticas de enfermagem que se identificaram relacionam-se com: promover a consciencialização; promover o uso de produtos de apoio; ensinar, instruir e treinar técnicas nos diferentes domínios de autocuidado; informar sobre os recursos da comunidade, nomeadamente serviços de apoio domiciliário e centros de dia; supervisionar os cuidados prestados nos diferentes domínios de autocuidado e avaliar as condições habitacionais. Conclusão: Os cuidadores informais que integram dependentes no autocuidado necessitam que o serviço de saúde lhes faculte o conhecimento sobre o fenómeno da dependência no autocuidado em contexto familiar. É também fundamental que o planeamento da preparação das famílias para tomar conta de idosos com dependência no autocuidado, seja assumido pelos enfermeiros como uma prática profissionalizada, no sentido de promover a autonomia destas pessoas e, simultaneamente, diminuir a sobrecarga do cuidador.

description: While optical fibers display excellent performances in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet ranges remain poorly addressed by them. Obtaining better fibers for the short-wavelength range has been restricted, in all fiber optics, by scattering processes. In hollow-core fibers, the scattering loss arises from the core roughness and represents the limiting factor in reducing their loss regardless of the fiber cladding confinement power. To attain fibers performing at short wavelengths, it is paramount developing means to minimize the height variations on the fiber microstructure boundaries. Here, we report on the reduction of the core surface roughness of hollow-core fibers by modifying their fabrication technique. In the novel process proposed herein, counter directional gas fluxes are applied within the fiber holes during fabrication to attain an increased shear rate on its microstructure. The effect of the process on the surface roughness has been quantified by optical profilometry and the results showed that the root-mean-square surface roughness has been reduced from 0.40 nm to 0.15 nm. The improvement in the fiber core surface quality entailed fibers with ultralow loss in the short-wavelength range. We report on fibers with record loss values as low as 50 dB/km at 290 nm, 9.7 dB/km at 369 nm, 5.0 dB/km at 480 nm, and 1.8 dB/km at 719 nm. The results reveal this new approach as a promising path for the development of hollow-core fibers guiding at short wavelengths with loss that can potentially be orders of magnitude lower than the ones achievable with their silica-core counterparts.
Friends, Enemies, Partisans: Schmitt and Kojève, the Cold War and the End of History

description: While as early as the second edition of The Concept of the Political (1932), Carl Schmitt had speculated on how the depoliticization of the political may reduce the international state system to a world of “entertainment.” It has been little remarked upon that Schmitt was in direct correspondence with Alexandre Kojève in the mid-1950s. This is unfortunate considering that not only are many of the ideas and issues they discussed novel in Schmitt’s oeuvre, but they would become pronounced in several articles and lectures leading up to and finding fulfillment in his much-neglected work, Theory of the Partisan (1963). This essay will throw light on this insufficiently noticed strand in Schmitt’s later thought, namely, the implications of Kojève’s Hegelian thesis that history was at an end and that they were now living in a stage of post-history. For Schmitt, the optimism generated by this idea had not only contributed to the Cold War being an “intermediate condition between war and peace,” but to the rise of partisan warfare as a central component of geopolitics. While both agreed that the state had come to an end, they disagreed profoundly on what that end entailed. Where Kojève saw Hegel’s Phenomenology as ushering in the end of history and an ensuing “universal and homogenous state,” Schmitt saw instead the concrete and historical-philosophical creation of the partisan, whose very existence is to challenge, and more importantly reject, such a state. This will be shown through their diverging conceptualizations of the state, the political, and history, as well as their opposed understandings of the philosophical-anthropological question of human being.

description: A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be zero Lie product determined if every continuous bilinear functional $φ\colon A\times A\to \mathbb{C}$ with the property that $φ(a,b)=0$ whenever $a$ and $b$ commute is of the form $φ(a,b)=τ(ab-ba)$ for some $τ\in A^*$. In the first part of the paper we give some general remarks on this class of algebras. In the second part we consider amenable Banach algebras and show that all group algebras $L^1(G)$ with $G$ an amenable locally compact group are zero Lie product determined.

description: Let $\{ξ_1,ξ_2,\ldots\}$ be a sequence of independent random variables, and $η$ be a counting random variable independent of this sequence. We consider conditions for $\{ξ_1,ξ_2,\ldots\}$ and $η$ under which the distribution function of the random sum $S_η=ξ_1+ξ_2+\cdots+ξ_η$ belongs to the class of consistently varying distributions. In our consideration, the random variables $\{ξ_1,ξ_2,\ldots\}$ are not necessarily identically distributed.

description: In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamic behavior of a rotating Bose-Einstein condensation with non-zero interatomic interactions theoretically. The analysis relies on a semiclassical Hartree-Fock approximation where an integral is performed over the phase space and function of the grand canonical ensemble is derived. Subsequently, we use this result to derive several thermodynamic quantities including the condensate fraction, critical temperature, entropy and heat capacity. Thereby, we investigate the effect of the rotation rate and interactions parameter on the thermodynamic behavior. The role of finite size is discussed. Our approach can be extended to consider the rotating condensate in optical potential.

description: Introdução: A depressão pós-parto (DPP) é uma das patologias que mais efeitos tem no estado de saúde das puérperas. Conhecer as consequências e os fatores de risco de tal patologia no puerpério é uma condição fulcral para identificar as suas influências tanto na saúde da mãe como na saúde do recém-nascido e para que sejam desempenhadas intervenções, de forma eficaz de modo a combater o problema. Objetivo: Avaliar de que modo a depressão pós-parto influência o estado de saúde da puérpera e do recém-nascido e quais as intervenções de enfermagem que contribuem para prevenir o surgimento desta patologia. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura que utilizou a mnemónica PICO para compilar a pergunta de investigação. Procedeu-se à pesquisa de artigos na plataforma EBSCOhost, selecionando-se artigos publicados entre janeiro de 2002 e dezembro de 2022 nas bases de dados MEDLINE complete e CINAHL complete. Foram selecionados nove artigos e seguiram-se as recomendações do método Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses – PRISMA. Resultados: A maioria dos artigos selecionados sugerem existir evidência científica de que a presença de doença psíquica e emocional anterior e fatores socioeconómicos são os elementos com maior relevância no aparecimento do diagnóstico de DPP em puérperas, tal que não só a puérpera, mas também o resto do agregado familiar são afetados. Conclusão: Com base na evidência científica obtida, é fundamental que os enfermeiros desenvolvam intervenções junto da mãe e dos seus familiares durante e após a gestação, de forma a estabelecer uma relação de proximidade e confiança com todo o agregado. Assim, há uma maior compreensão de todo o contexto e uma maior facilidade em identificar qualquer indicador de DPP, de modo a atuar e a prevenir o diagnóstico.

description: Scattering from large, open cavity structures is of importance in a variety of electromagnetic applications. In this paper, we propose a new well conditioned integral equation for scattering from general open cavities embedded in an infinite, perfectly conducting half-space. The integral representation permits the stable evaluation of both the electric and magnetic field, even in the low-frequency regime, using the continuity equation in a post-processing step. We establish existence and uniqueness results, and demonstrate the performance of the scheme in the cavity-of-revolution case. High-order accuracy is obtained using a Nystrom discretization with generalized Gaussian quadratures.

description: The redistribution of angular momentum is a long standing problem in our understanding of protoplanetary disk (PPD) evolution. The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is considered a likely mechanism. We present the results of a study involving multifluid global simulations including Ohmic dissipation, ambipolar diffusion and the Hall effect in a dynamic, self-consistent way. We focus on the turbulence resulting from the non-linear development of the MRI in radially stratified PPDs and compare with ideal MHD simulations. In the multifluid simulations the disk is initially set up to transition from a weak Hall dominated regime, where the Hall effect is the dominant non-ideal effect but approximately the same as or weaker than the inductive term, to a strong Hall dominated regime, where the Hall effect dominates the inductive term. As the simulations progress a substantial portion of the disk develops into a weak Hall dominated disk. We find a transition from turbulent to laminar flow in the inner regions of the disk, but without any corresponding overall density feature. We introduce a dimensionless parameter, $α_\mathrm{RM}$, to characterise accretion with $α_\mathrm{RM} \gtrsim 0.1$ corresponding to turbulent transport. We calculate the eddy turnover time, $t_\mathrm{eddy}$, and compared this with an effective recombination timescale, $t_\mathrm{rcb}$, to determine whether the presence of turbulence necessitates non-equilibrium ionisation calculations. We find that $t_\mathrm{rcb}$ is typically around three orders of magnitude smaller than $t_\mathrm{eddy}$. Also, the ionisation fraction does not vary appreciably. These two results suggest that these multifluid simulations should be comparable to single fluid non-ideal simulations.
