description: We present a general approach to designing capacity-approaching high-girth low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes that are friendly to hardware implementation. Our methodology starts by defining a new class of "hierarchical" quasi-cyclic (HQC) LDPC codes that generalizes the structure of quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes. Whereas the parity check matrices of QC LDPC codes are composed of circulant sub-matrices, those of HQC LDPC codes are composed of a hierarchy of circulant sub-matrices that are in turn constructed from circulant sub-matrices, and so on, through some number of levels. We show how to map any class of codes defined using a protograph into a family of HQC LDPC codes. Next, we present a girth-maximizing algorithm that optimizes the degrees of freedom within the family of codes to yield a high-girth HQC LDPC code. Finally, we discuss how certain characteristics of a code protograph will lead to inevitable short cycles, and show that these short cycles can be eliminated using a "squashing" procedure that results in a high-girth QC LDPC code, although not a hierarchical one. We illustrate our approach with designed examples of girth-10 QC LDPC codes obtained from protographs of one-sided spatially-coupled codes.

Precision β-Decays Measurements with Low-Temperature Calorimeters: a Benchmark for Nuclear Models
Creators: name: Ghislandi, Stefano
Publisher: name: Gran Sasso Science Institute
Year: 2025

description: This Ph.D. thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of two fundamental nuclear decay processes: the two-neutrino double-beta (2νββ) decay of 130Te, studied within the CUORE experiment, and the fourth-forbidden β-decay of 115In, explored through the ACCESS project. The main target is performing precise measurements of half-life and spectral shapes of these decays to refine nuclear matrix element calculations, test nuclear models, and probe the effective axial coupling constant within nuclear media. For the CUORE experiment, the development of a robust radioactive background model using 1038.4 kg y of exposure data is presented, and the work has been published in Phys. Rev. D 110, 052003. A simultaneous Bayesian fit to several energy spectra across a broad range, also exploiting the detector’s high granularity, provided exceptional sensitivity to bulk and surface material activities, detecting levels as low as 10 nBq kg−1 and 0.1 nBq cm−2, respectively. These advancements not only enhance the sensitivity of CUORE physics analyses, but also inform the design of the next-generation CUPID experiment. A dedicated fit optimization campaign achieved the most precise measurement of the 2νββ half-life of 130Te, T1/2 2νββ = 9.32 −0.04 +0.05 (stat) −0.08 +0.07 (syst) × 10^20 y. Spectral shape studies using the so-called improved formalism have been carried out for the first time in 130Te, demonstrating the potential of this technique to constrain nuclear models and axial coupling quenching. A paper on this analysis has been prepared, and it will be submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. in the next few months. The ACCESS project focused on the fourth-forbidden β-decay of 115In using a cryogenic calorimeter based on indium iodide and the measurement is also presented in Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 122501. Employing the enhanced spectrum-shape method, ACCESS achieved a high-precision determination of the spectral shape, axial coupling constant, and half-life of 115In. The analysis using the interacting shell model, which best fits the data, yielded a half-life of T 1/2 β = (5.26 ± 0.06) × 10^14 y. Together, these findings advance the understanding of nuclear decay processes similar to 0νββ, refine the knowledge about key nuclear parameters, and contribute to the broader effort of testing and improving theoretical nuclear models.

description: Measurements of London penetration depth are a sensitive tool to study multi-band superconductivity and it has provided several important insights to the behavior of Fe-based superconductors. We first briefly review the "experimentalist - friendly" self-consistent Eilenberger model that relates the measurable superfluid density and structure of superconducting gaps. Then we focus on the \BaFe -derived materials, for which the results are consistent with 1) two distinct superconducting gaps; 2) development of strong in-plane gap anisotropy with the departure from the optimal doping; 3) appearance of gap nodes along the $c-$direction in a highly overdoped regime; 4) significant pair-breaking, presumably due to charge doping; 5) fully gapped (exponential) intrinsic behavior at the optimal doping if scattering is removed (probed in the "self-doped" stoichiometric LiFeAs); 6) competition between magnetically ordered state and superconductivity, which do coexist in the underdoped compounds. Overall, it appears that while there are common trends in the behavior of Fe-based superconductors, the gap structure is non-universal and is sensitive to the doping level. It is plausible that the rich variety of possible gap structures within the general $s_{\pm}$ framework is responsible for the observed behavior.

description: We report in situ measurement of biaxial moduli of a Si thin-film electrode as a function of its lithium concentration. During lithiation, biaxial compressive stress is induced in the Si film and it undergoes plastic flow. At any state-of-charge (SOC), a relatively small delithiation-relithiation sequence unloads and reloads the film elastically. From the stress and strain changes during a delithiation-relithiation cycle, the biaxial modulus of the film is calculated. Stress change is obtained by measuring the change in substrate curvature using a Multi-beam Optical Sensor; the elastic strain change is obtained from the change in SOC. By repeating these measurements at several different values of SOC, the biaxial modulus was seen to decrease from ca. 70 GPa for Li0.32Si to ca. 35 GPa for Li3.0Si. Such a significant reduction in elastic modulus has important implications for modeling stress evolution and mechanical degradation in Si-based anodes.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol using photon pairs entangled in orbit angular momentum (OAM). In our protocol, Alice and Bob modulate their OAM states on each entangled pair with spatial light modulators (SLMs), respectively. Alice uses a fixed phase hologram in her SLM, while Bob designs $N$ different suitable phase holograms and uses them to represent his $N$-based information in his SLM. With coincidences, Alice can fully retrieve the key stream sent by Bob without information reconciliation or privacy amplification. We report the experiment results with N=3 and the sector states with OAM eigenmodes l=1 and l=-1. Our experiment shows that the coincidence rates are in relatively distinct value regions for the three different key elements. Alice could recover fully Bob's keys by the protocol. Finally, we discuss the security of the protocol both form the light way and against the general attacks.

description: We obtain Lipschitz regularity results for a fairly general class of nonlinear first-order PDEs. These equations arise from the inner variation of certain energy integrals. Even in the simplest model case of the Dirichlet energy the inner-stationary solutions need not be differentiable everywhere; the Lipschitz continuity is the best possible. But the proofs, even in the Dirichlet case, turn out to relay on topological arguments. The appeal to the inner-stationary solutions in this context is motivated by the classical problems of existence and regularity of the energy-minimal deformations in the theory of harmonic mappings and certain mathematical models of nonlinear elasticity; specifically, neo-Hookian type problems.

description: A wavelength calibration system based on a laser frequency comb (LFC) was developed in a co-operation between the Kiepenheuer-Institut für Sonnenphysik, Freiburg, Germany and the Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany for permanent installation at the German Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT) on Tenerife, Canary Islands. The system was installed successfully in October 2011. By simultaneously recording the spectra from the Sun and the LFC, for each exposure a calibration curve can be derived from the known frequencies of the comb modes that is suitable for absolute calibration at the meters per second level. We briefly summarize some topics in solar physics that benefit from absolute spectroscopy and point out the advantages of LFC compared to traditional calibration techniques. We also sketch the basic setup of the VTT calibration system and its integration with the existing echelle spectrograph.

description: We study a simple-harmonic-oscillator quantum computer solving oracle decision problems. We show that such computers can perform better by using nonorthogonal Gaussian wave functions rather than orthogonal top-hat wave functions as input to the information encoding process. Using the Deutsch-Jozsa problem as an example, we demonstrate that Gaussian modulation with optimized width parameter results in a lower error rate than for the top-hat encoding. We conclude that Gaussian modulation can allow for an improved trade-off between encoding, processing and measurement of the information.

description: We consider brane-world scenarios embedded into string theory. We find that the D-brane backreaction induces a large increase in the open string's proper length. Consequently the stringy nature of elementary particles can be detected at distances much larger than the fundamental string scale. As an example, we compute the gravitational potential between two open strings ending on backreacting D3-branes in four-dimensional compactifications of type II string theory. We find that the Newtonian potential receives a correction that goes like 1/r but that is not proportional to the inertial masses of the open strings, implying a violation of the equivalence principle in the effective gravitational theory. This stringy correction is screened by thermal effects when the distance between the strings is greater than the inverse temperature. This suggests new experimental tests for many phenomenological models in type II string theory.

description: The human immune system forms memory after infection or vaccination to protect against future exposures. This thesis has examined the formation and durability of virus-specific memory B cells following SARS-CoV-2 infection and influenza and COVID-19 vaccination. I have demonstrated that antigen-specific memory B cells: 1) are formed after vaccination of immunodeficient patients; 2) are durable after SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccination; and 3) can be used to determine the capacity of a vaccine to induce protection against viral variants. These findings are critical to further our understanding of a protective immune response and can help inform future vaccine design.

Relationships among unpalatable oral stimuli, saliva, repeated exposure, and sensory acceptance

Food chemistry and food sensory science

description: Sensory perception and acceptance of disliked healthy foods can be improved through strategies such as repeated exposure. Yet, minimal work has investigated whether these approaches are effective in adult populations. Further, for interventions that do demonstrate modifications of perception or acceptance, we lack understanding of the full spectrum of contributing factors influencing the improvement of the sensory experience. For example, animal data suggest that factors such as saliva and salivary proteins are modifiable by diet and play a direct role in the perception of aversive bitter and astringent compounds, but minimal work has verified this in humans. Additionally, we know that there are myriad barriers and facilitators to healthy food consumption, but there are few investigations of these factors related to empirical assessments of liking. The work presented in this dissertation begins to address these gaps using untrained participants within a general student-aged adult population. We tested effects of repeated consumption of a bitter flavanol “tea” on bitterness intensity and salivary protein composition, demonstrating reduced bitterness intensity after repeated oral sensory exposure of the flavanol, with limited alterations in salivary protein composition attributable to flavanol exposure alone. Next, in a separate intervention, we tested the effect of repeated vegetable flavor exposure within a novel exposure matrix on liking of green vegetables. Using a game that challenged players to identify flavors in vegetable flavored gummy candies, we showed that repeated exposure using this method increased liking of initially disliked chopped vegetables. In a subsequent secondary analysis of data collected during this intervention, we identified variables related to sensory perception, food attitudes and behaviors, and other individual factors that explained variation in vegetable liking in ways that were unique between vegetables, underscoring the complexity of liking. Other chapters included in this dissertation accentuate these complexities through a methodological lens, providing evidence that stimuli choice, study population, and questionnaire design can all significantly impact results from sensory evaluations. Overall, repeated exposure is a promising strategy to help alleviate taste-related barriers to healthy eating in adults but is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Future work should investigate the generalizability of these methods in different adult populations and investigate impacts on dietary intake.

description: Plasma cell survival is important for generating durable memory responses. Currently, how PC survival is determined is not fully known. One theory is that PCs live within a tissue compartment that has a limited amount of space. PCs can either live here until they ‘know’ when to die or they are ’pushed’ out by new PCs. This thesis used two novel mouse models that could identify long-lived PCs and newly made PCs and found that all PCs were born with different survival identities that were associated with an internal ‘clock’ that pre-determined its lifespan.

description: A method is introduced for the verification of nonclassicality in terms of moments of nonclassicality quasiprobability distributions. The latter are easily obtained from experimental data and will be denoted as nonclassicality moments. Their relation to normally-ordered moments is derived, which enables us to verify nonclassicality by using well established criteria. Alternatively, nonclassicality criteria are directly formulated in terms of nonclassicality moments. The latter converge in proper limits to the usually used criteria, as is illustrated for squeezing and sub-Poissonian photon statistics. Our theory also yields expectation values of any observable in terms of nonclassicality moments.

description: We present a detailed abundance study of 11 RR Lyrae ab-type variables: AS Vir, BS Aps, CD Vel, DT Hya, RV Oct, TY Gru, UV Oct, V1645 Sgr, WY Ant, XZ Aps, and Z Mic.High resolution and high S/N echelle spectra of these variables were obtained with 2.5 m du Pont telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory. We obtained more than 2300 spectra, roughly 200 spectra per star, distributed more or less uniformly throughout the pulsational cycles. A new method has been developed to obtain initial effective temperature of our sample stars at a specific pulsational phase. We find that the abundance ratios are generally consistent with those of similar metallicity field stars in different evolutionary states and throughout the pulsational cycles for RR Lyrae stars. TY Gru remains the only n-capture enriched star among the RRab in our sample. A new relation is found between microturbulence and effective temperature among stars of the HB population. In addition, the variation of microturbulence as a function of phase is empirically shown to be similar to the theoretical variation. Finally, we conclude that the derived teffand log g values of our sample stars follow the general trend of a single mass evolutionary track.

Continuum particle-vibration coupling method in coordinate-space representation for finite nuclei

description: In this paper we present a new formalism to implement the nuclear particle-vibration coupling (PVC) model. The key issue is the proper treatment of the continuum, that is allowed by the coordinate space representation. Our formalism, based on the use of zero-range interactions like the Skyrme forces, is microscopic and fully self-consistent. We apply it to the case of neutron single-particle states in $^{40}$Ca, $^{208}$Pb and $^{24}$O. The first two cases are meant to illustrate the comparison with the usual (i.e., discrete) PVC model. However, we stress that the present approach allows to calculate properly the effect of PVC on resonant states. We compare our results with those from experiments in which the particle transfer in the continuum region has been attempted. The latter case, namely $^{24}$O, is chosen as an example of a weakly-bound system. Such a nucleus, being double-magic and not displaying collective low-lying vibrational excitations, is characterized by quite pure neutron single-particle states around the Fermi surface.

description: A western diet contains high amounts of salt, which is a known risk factor for heart disease. Previously, salt has been associated with heart disease through an increase in blood pressure. However, a high salt diet can also directly increase inflammatory white blood cells. In my PhD, I discovered that a high salt intake can increase inflammatory white blood cells triggered by the gut which enters the heart and increases heart disease risk. Interestingly, restoring gut health using prebiotics, significantly reduces inflammatory white blood cells and heart disease risk, highlighting an important role the gut plays in salt-related heart disease.

description: Agricultural conservation practices have long been promoted for resource conservation and environmental benefits. We examine cover crop adoption with ambient water quality to estimate the influence this soil health practice hashad on non-point source pollution from agriculture. We use remotely sensed data on practice adoption and control for the direction of hydrological flow, weather, and land use to econometrically measure the impact of cover cropping on total Nitrogen concentrations in surface water while controlling for pollutant inflow from upstream. The spatial unit of analysis is a HUC8, also examined in other recent research using different treatment variables to explain variation in surface water quality. Our results provide novel estimates based on observed data that can be compared to more common biophysical simulations of conservation practice effectiveness.

description: Neutrophils contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory diseases, often linked to either global metabolic disturbances and/or changes to immune cell metabolism. Herein, we explored the role of neutrophil glucose metabolism in promoting inflammation in diabetes. We modelled this in the context transient and intermittent hyperglycaemia prevalent in patients with seemingly well controlled glucose levels, to explore the contribution to atherosclerosis. We also reveal novel functions for potential regulators of neutrophil glucose metabolism: GLUT-6 (uptake) and hexokinase-3 (1-step metabolism) in mediating diabetes and inflammation associated neutrophil production and function.

description: We present the long-term optical spectroscopic observations on the Be/X-ray binary A0535+26 from 1992 to 2010. Combining with the public V-band photometric data, we find that each giant X-ray outburst occurred in a fading phase of the optical brightness. The anti-correlation between the optical brightness and the H$α$ intensity during our 2009 observations indicates a mass ejection event had taken place before the 2009 giant X-ray outburst, which might cause the formation of a low-density region in the inner part of the disk. The similar anti-correlation observed around 1996 September indicates the occurrence of the mass ejection, which might trigger the subsequent disk loss event in A0535+26.

description: Ki-67 is a protein expressed in all dividing cells and assists in chromosome separation during cell division. High Ki-67 expression is most commonly associated with poor cancer prognoses, therefore, improved understanding of Ki-67’s function may lead to the development of new cancer treatments. To address the large gaps in our knowledge of Ki-67 function, we made a mouse genetically lacking Ki-67. We discovered that Ki-67 was not required for normal life but was specifically required for normal lymphocyte development. We linked Ki-67 expression to successful rearrangement of lymphocyte receptors, indicating Ki-67 has a unique role in immune cell development.

description: According to recent models, the accretion disk and black hole in active galactic nuclei are surrounded by a clumpy torus. We investigate the NIR flux variation of the torus in response to a UV flash for various geometries. Anisotropic illumination by the disk and the torus self-occultation contrast our study with earlier works. Both the waning effect of each clump and the torus self-occultation selectively reduce the emission from the region with a short delay. Therefore, the NIR delay depends on the viewing angle (where a more inclined angle leads to a longer delay) and the time response shows an asymmetric profile with a negative skewness, opposing to the results for optically thin tori. The range of the computed delay coincides with the observed one, suggesting that the viewing angle is primarily responsible for the scatter of the observed delay. We also propose that the red NIR-to-optical color of type-1.8/1.9 objects is caused by not only the dust extinction but also the intrinsically red color. Compared with the modest torus thickness, both a thick and a thin tori display the weaker NIR emission. A selection bias is thus expected such that NIR-selected AGNs tend to possess moderately thick tori. A thicker torus shows a narrower and more heavily skewed time profile, while a thin torus produces a rapid response. A super-Eddington accretion rate leads to a much weaker NIR emission due to the disk self-occultation and the disk truncation by the self-gravity. A long delay is expected from an optically thin and/or a largely misaligned torus. A very weak NIR emission, such as in hot-dust-poor active nuclei, can arise from a geometrically thin torus, a super-Eddington accretion rate or a slightly misaligned torus.

description: We review some applications of fractional calculus developed by the author (partly in collaboration with others) to treat some basic problems in continuum and statistical mechanics. The problems in continuum mechanics concern mathematical modelling of viscoelastic bodies (Sect. 1), and unsteady motion of a particle in a viscous fluid, i.e. the Basset problem (Sect. 2). In the former analysis fractional calculus leads us to introduce intermediate models of viscoelasticity which generalize the classical spring-dashpot models. The latter analysis induces us to introduce a hydrodynamic model suitable to revisit in Sect. 3 the classical theory of the Brownian motion, which is a relevant topic in statistical mechanics. By the tools of fractional calculus we explain the long tails in the velocity correlation and in the displacement variance. In Sect. 4 we consider the fractional diffusion-wave equation, which is obtained from the classical diffusion equation by replacing the first-order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order $0< β<2$. Led by our analysis we express the fundamental solutions (the Green functions) in terms of two interrelated auxiliary functions in the similarity variable, which turn out to be of Wright type (see Appendix), and to distinguish slow-diffusion processes ($0 < β< 1$) from intermediate processes ($1 < β< 2$).

description: The rate of spontaneous emission is known to depend on the environment of a light source, and the enhancement of one-photon emission in a resonant cavity is known as the Purcell effect. Here we develop a theory of spontaneous two-photon emission for a general electromagnetic environment including inhomogeneous dispersive and absorptive media. This theory is used to evaluate the two-photon Purcell enhancement in the vicinity of metallic nanoparticles and it is demonstrated that the surface plasmon resonances supported by these particles can enhance the emission rate by more than two orders of magnitude. The control over two-photon Purcell enhancement given by tailored nanostructured environments could provide an emitter with any desired spectral response and may serve as an ultimate route for designing light sources with novel properties.

description: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a disease in which patients show a weak immune response and susceptibility to recurrent infections. With age, CVID patients can develop additional complications, including autoimmune disease and cancer, which can significantly shorten their lives. CVID develops due to mutations in genes that are ordinarily critical for the immune system. The most commonly affected gene in Europeans is NFKB1. However, it was unclear why the NFKB1 gene is required to prevent CVID. This project studied the function of NFκB1 in mice and identified several mechanisms that could give rise to CVID in the relevant human patients.

description: Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a polygenic autoimmune disease that occurs as a result of the selective destruction of insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas by infiltrating mononuclear cells. It is widely believed that insulin is the initiating autoantigen in T1D, but our studies have shown that antigens other than insulin expressed in pre-beta ductal cells of the pancreas play a significant role in the early development of disease.

description: Clusters of galaxies are the most recently assembled, massive, bound structures in the Universe. As predicted by General Relativity, given their masses, clusters strongly deform space-time in their vicinity. Clusters act as some of the most powerful gravitational lenses in the Universe. Light rays traversing through clusters from distant sources are hence deflected, and the resulting images of these distant objects therefore appear distorted and magnified. Lensing by clusters occurs in two regimes, each with unique observational signatures. The strong lensing regime is characterized by effects readily seen by eye, namely, the production of giant arcs, multiple-images, and arclets. The weak lensing regime is characterized by small deformations in the shapes of background galaxies only detectable statistically. Cluster lenses have been exploited successfully to address several important current questions in cosmology: (i) the study of the lens(es) - understanding cluster mass distributions and issues pertaining to cluster formation and evolution, as well as constraining the nature of dark matter; (ii) the study of the lensed objects - probing the properties of the background lensed galaxy population - which is statistically at higher redshifts and of lower intrinsic luminosity thus enabling the probing of galaxy formation at the earliest times right up to the Dark Ages; and (iii) the study of the geometry of the Universe - as the strength of lensing depends on the ratios of angular diameter distances between the lens, source and observer, lens deflections are sensitive to the value of cosmological parameters and offer a powerful geometric tool to probe Dark Energy. In this review, we present the basics of cluster lensing and provide a current status report of the field.
