description: Water monitoring is crucial for environmental monitoring, transportation, energy and telecommunication. One of the main problems in aquatic environmental monitoring is biofouling. The simplest method among the current antifouling strategies is the use of wiper technologies like brushes and wipers which apply mechanical pressure. In designing built-in strategies however, manufacturers usually build the sensor around the biofouling system. The current state-of-the-art is a fully integrated central wiper in the sensor that enables cleaning of all probes mounted on the sonde. Improvements in antifouling strategies lag rapid advancements in sensor technologies such as in miniaturization, specialization, and costs. Hence, improving built-in designs by decreasing size and complexity will decrease maintenance and overall costs. This design is targeted for the EU project Robocoenosis since bio-hybrid systems in this project incorporate living organisms. This technology targets selective proliferation of the organisms which only prevents biofilms on components where they are unwanted. Beyond this, the use of autonomous activation based on image processing may likely be advantageous for minimizing the need for human inspection and maintenance. In addition to Robocoenosis, we also aim at incorporating this design in another project entitled Heterogeneous Swarm of Underwater Autonomous Vehicles where a swarm of heterogeneous underwater robotic fish is being developed.

description: The quantum regression formula for an open quantum system consists in an infinite hierarchy of conditions for its multi-time correlation functions, thus requiring full access to the total "system+environment" evolution, and providing a stronger requirement than CP-divisibility. Here, we analyze CP-divisibility and check the validity of quantum regression beyond the Born-Markov approximation (e.g. weak coupling limit) for a class of generalized spin-boson (GSB) models giving rise to a multi-level amplitude-damping evolution; in all cases, it is possible to engineer the system-bath coupling in such a way that quantum regression is exactly satisfied.

description: The high computational scaling with the number of correlated electrons and the size of the basis set is a bottleneck which limits applications of coupled cluster (CC) algorithms. This is particularly so for calculations based on 2- or 4-component relativistic Hamiltonians, which often employ uncontracted basis sets and lead to large virtual molecular orbital (VMO) spaces. This problem may be alleviated by employing a more compact set of virtual spinors than those provided by the canonical Hartree-Fock (HF) set, such as those based on natural orbitals (NOs). In this paper we describe the implementation of a module for generating NOs for correlated wavefunctions, and in particular MP2 frozen natural orbitals (MP2FNOs), as a component of our novel implementation of relativistic coupled cluster theory for massively parallel architectures [J. Pototschnig et. al., J. Chem. Theory Comput. 17, 5509, 2021]. Our implementation is capable of manipulating both complex and quaternion density matrices, thus allowing for the generation of both Kramers-restricted and Kramers-unrestricted MP2FNOs. Furthermore, NOs are re-expressed in the parent atomic orbital (AO) basis, so that the code also makes it possible to generate CCSD natural orbitals in AO basis for further analysis. By investigating the truncation errors of MP2FNOs for both the correlation energy and molecular properties at CCSD level such as the electric field gradients at the nuclei (EFGs), electric dipole and quadrupole moments for hydrogen halides HX (X=F-Ts), and parity-violating energy differences (PV) for H$_2$Y$_2$ (Y=O-Se), we find that MP2FNOs accelerate the convergence of the correlation energy in a roughly uniform manner across the periodic table and that, with VMO spaces truncated to around half the size of the full spaces ones, it is possible to obtain reliable estimates for both energies and all molecular properties considered.

description: We investigate the electronic band structure of modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires for both n- and p-doping. We developed an 8-band Burt-Foreman k.p Hamiltonian approach to describe coupled conduction and valence bands in heterostructured nanowires of arbitrary composition, growth directions, and doping. Coulomb interactions with the electron/hole gas are taken into account within a mean-field self-consistent approach. We map the ensuing multi-band envelope function and Poisson equations to optimized, non-uniform real-space grids by the finite element method. Self-consistent charge density, single-particle subbands, density of states and absorption spectra are obtained at different doping regimes. For n-doped samples, the large restructuring of the electron gas for increasing doping results in the formation of quasi-1D electron channels at the core-shell interface. Strong heavy-hole/light-hole coupling of hole states leads to non parabolic dispersions with mass inversion, similarly to planar structures, which persist at large dopings, giving rise to direct LH and indirect HH gaps. In p-doped samples the hole gas forms an almost isotropic, ring-like cloud for a large range of doping. Here, as a result of the increasing localization, HH and LH states uncouple, and mass inversion takes place at a threshold density. A similar evolution is obtained at fixed doping as a function of temperature. We show that signatures of the evolution of the band structure can be singled out in the anisotropy of linearly polarized optical absorption.

description: We analyse Gaia EDR3 and re-calibrated HST proper motion data from the core-collapsed and non core-collapsed globular clusters NGC 6397 and NGC 3201, respectively, with the Bayesian mass-orbit modelling code MAMPOSSt-PM. We use Bayesian evidence and realistic mock data sets constructed with AGAMA to select between different mass models. In both clusters, the velocities are consistent with isotropy within the extent of our data. We robustly detect a dark central mass (DCM) of roughly 1000 solar masses in both clusters. Our MAMPOSSt-PM fits strongly prefer an extended DCM in NGC 6397, while only presenting a mild preference for it in NGC 3201, with respective sizes of a roughly one and a few per cent of the cluster effective radius. We explore the astrophysics behind our results with the CMC Monte Carlo N-body code, whose snapshots best matching the phase space observations lead to similar values for the mass and size of the DCM. The internal kinematics are thus consistent with a population of hundreds of massive white dwarfs in NGC 6397, and roughly 100 segregated stellar-mass black holes in NGC 3201, as previously found with CMC. Such analyses confirm the accuracy of both mass-orbit modelling and Monte Carlo N-body techniques, which together provide more robust predictions on the DCM of globular clusters (core-collapsed or not). This opens possibilities to understand a vast range of interesting astrophysical phenomena in clusters, such as fast radio bursts, compact object mergers, and gravitational waves.

description: The aggregation of clay particles in aqueous solution is a ubiquitous everyday process of broad environmental and technological importance. However, it is poorly understood at the all-important atomistic level since it depends on a complex and dynamic interplay of solvent-mediated electrostatic, hydrogen-bonding, and dispersion interactions. With this in mind we have performed an extensive set of classical molecular dynamics simulations (included enhanced sampling simulations) on the interactions between model kaolinite nanoparticles in pure and salty water. Our simulations reveal highly anisotropic behaviour in which the interaction between the nanoparticles varies from attractive to repulsive depending on the relative orientation of the nanoparticles. Detailed analysis reveals that at large separation (>1.5 nm) this interaction is dominated by electrostatic effects whereas at smaller separations the nature of the water hydration structure becomes critical. This study highlights an incredible richness in how clay nanoparticles interact, which should be accounted for in e.g. coarse grained models of clay nanoparticle aggregation.

description: In this study, metal nanoparticles were synthesized using extracts from fungal extracts. Among all the tested fungal extracts P. citrinum and T. asperellum extracts showed good potential for the synthesis of mNPs. All the biosynthesized mNPs were characterized using different characterization techniques. Based on characterization results one of the most suitable mNPs were selected and further optimized using response surface methodology software. The optimally synthesized AgNPs (OS AgNPs) were used to assess their antimicrobial antioxidant activities. Further metal removal potential and dye decolorization potential of OS AgNPs was assessed. Finally, the phytotoxicity effect of AgNPs was checked.

description: Cohesive subgraph discovery in a network is one of the fundamental problems and investigated for several decades. In this paper, we propose the Overlapping Cohesive Subgraphs with Minimum degree (OCSM) problem which combines three key concepts for OCSM : (i) edge-based overlapping, (ii) the minimum degree constraint, and (iii) the graph density. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to identify overlapping cohesive subgraphs with minimum degree by incorporating the graph density. Since the OCSM problem is NP-hard, we propose two algorithms: advanced peeling algorithm and seed-based expansion algorithm. Finally, we show the experimental study with real-world networks to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed algorithms.

In calculations, we distinguish the contributions of the positive-parity and negative-parity baryon states unambiguously, and investigate the energy scale dependence of the QCD sum rules in details and observe that the acceptable energy scales are $μ=2.0\sim 2.8\,\rm{GeV}$, while the best energy scale is $μ=2.0\,\rm{GeV}$. The predictions can be confronted to the experimental data in the future and shed light on the QCD low energy dynamics.

description: The optimal quantum measurements for estimating individual parameters might be incompatible with each other so that they cannot be jointly performed. The tradeoff between the estimation precision for different parameters can be characterized by information regret -- the difference between the Fisher information and its quantum limit. We show that the information-regret-tradeoff relation can give us not only an intuitive picture of the potential in improving the joint scheme of estimating the centroid and the separation, but also some clues to the optimal measurements for the sequential scheme. In particular, we show that, for two incoherent point sources with a very small separation, the optimal measurement for the separation must extract little information about the centroid, and vice versa.

We focus on those cases where the $t\bar{t}j + X$ process is considered as a signal. We discuss present theoretical uncertainties and the dependence on relevant input parameters entering the computation. For the ${\cal R}$ distribution, which depends on the invariant mass of the $t\bar{t}j$-system, we present reference predictions in the on-shell, $\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ and MSR top-quark mass renormalization schemes, applying the latter scheme to this process for the first time. Our conclusions are particularly interesting for those analyses aiming at extracting the top-quark mass from cross-section measurements.

description: The scaling of acceleration statistics in turbulence is examined by combining data from the literature with new data from well-resolved direct numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence, significantly extending the Reynolds number range. The acceleration variance at higher Reynolds numbers departs from previous predictions based on multifractal models, which characterize Lagrangian intermittency as a naive extension of Eulerian intermittency. The disagreement is even more prominent for higher-order moments of the acceleration. Instead, starting from a known exact relation, we relate the scaling of acceleration variance to that of Eulerian fourth-order velocity gradient and velocity increment statistics. This prediction is in excellent agreement with the variance data. Our work highlights the need for models that consider Lagrangian intermittency independent of the Eulerian counterpart.

Towards ruling out the charged Higgs interpretation of the $R_{D^{(*)}}$ anomaly

description: Motivated by the notorious anomaly in the lepton flavor universality ratios $R_{D^{(*)}}$, we study the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to a low-mass charged Higgs boson $H^-$ lighter than $400\,$GeV in a generic two Higgs doublet model. A combination of current constraints from the $B_c\toτν$ decay, $B_{s}$ meson mixing data, tau sleptons and di-jet searches at the LHC allows to explain the $R_{D^{(*)}}$ anomaly at the $1\,σ$ level by a low-mass charged Higgs. In this context, we estimate the reach of an LHC search for resonant $H^-$ production, where the final state contains an energetic $τ$ lepton decaying hadronically, a neutrino with large transverse momentum, and an additional $b$-jet ($pp \to b+τ_h + ν$). Requiring the additional $b$-tagged jet in the $τν$ resonance search profits from the suppression of the Standard Model background, and therefore it allows us to judge the low-mass $H^-$ interpretation of the $R_{D^{(*)}}$ anomaly. To demonstrate this, we perform a fast collider simulation for the $τν$ resonance search with an additional $b$-tagged jet, and find that most of the interesting parameter region of the whole mass range can already be probed with the current integrated luminosity of $139\,$fb$^{-1}$.

description: Field emission data are often represented on a Fowler--Nordheim plot but a new empirical equation has been recently proposed to better analyze experiments. Such an equation is based on approximations of the Murphy and Good model and predicts that a constant parameter $κ$, depending only on the work function of the emitter, can be extracted from the data. We compared this empirical equation with simulations of the Murphy and Good model in order to determine the range of validity of the approximations and the robustness of the relationship between $κ$ and the work function. We found that $κ$ is constant only over a limited range of electric fields and so depends significantly on the field enhancement factor. This result calls into question the usefulness of the new empirical equation.

description: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are extremely luminous and brief signals (with duration of milliseconds or even shorter) of extragalactic origin. Despite the fact that hundreds of FRBs have been discovered to date, their nature still remains unclear. Precise localizations of FRBs can unveil their host galaxies and local environments -- and thus shed light on the physical processes that led to the burst production. However, this has only been achieved for a few FRBs to date. The European VLBI Network (EVN) is currently the only instrument capable of localizing FRBs down to the milliarcsecond level. This level of precision was critical to associate the first localized FRB, 20121102A, to a star-forming region in a low-metallicity dwarf galaxy and physically related it to a compact persistent radio source. Analogously, a second repeating FRB, 20180916B, was found to just outside the edge of a prominent star-forming region of a nearby spiral galaxy. The PRECISE project (Pinpointing REpeating ChIme Sources with EVN dishes), starting from 2019, has observed hundreds of hours per year with a subset of EVN telescopes with the goal of localizing repeating FRBs discovered by the CHIME/FRB Collaboration. The ultimate goal of PRECISE is to disentangling the environments where FRBs can be produced. Here we present the state of the art of the FRB field, the PRECISE project, and the localizations achieved until now, which have unveiled a variety of environments where FRBs can be found that challenges the current models.

description: We investigate the emergence of different effective geometries in stochastic Clifford circuits with sparse coupling. By changing the probability distribution for choosing two-site gates as a function of distance, we generate sparse interactions that either decay or grow with distance as a function of a single tunable parameter. Tuning this parameter reveals three distinct regimes of geometry for the spreading of correlations and growth of entanglement in the system. We observe linear geometry for short-range interactions, treelike geometry on a sparse coupling graph for long-range interactions, and an intermediate fast scrambling regime at the crossover point between the linear and treelike geometries. This transition in geometry is revealed in calculations of the subsystem entanglement entropy and tripartite mutual information. We also study emergent lightcones that govern these effective geometries by teleporting a single qubit of information from an input qubit to an output qubit. These tools help to analyze distinct geometries arising in dynamics and correlation spreading in quantum many-body systems.

description: Rank-2 tensor fields of large-scale structure, e.g. a tensor field inferred from shapes of galaxies, open up a window to directly access 2-scalar, 2-vector and 2-tensor modes, where the scalar fields can be measured independently from the standard density field that is traced by distribution of galaxies. Here we develop an estimator of the multipole moments of power spectra for the three-dimensional tensor field, taking into account the projection onto plane perpendicular to the line-of-sight direction. To do this, we find that a convenient representation of the power spectrum multipoles can be obtained by the use of the associated Legendre polynomials in the form which allows for the fast Fourier transform estimations under the local plane-parallel (LPP) approximation. The formulation also allows us to obtain the Hankel transforms to connect the two-point statistics in Fourier and configuration space, which are needed to derive theoretical templates of the power spectrum including convolution of a survey window. To validate our estimators, we use the simulation data of the projected tidal field assuming a survey window that mimics the BOSS-like survey footprint. We show that the LPP estimators fairly well recover the multipole moments that are inferred from the global plane-parallel approximation. We find that the survey window causes a more significant change in the multipole moments of projected tensor power spectrum at $k\lesssim 0.1\,h{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ from the input power spectrum, than in the density power spectrum. Nevertheless, our method to compute the theory template including the survey window effects successfully reproduces the window-convolved multipole moments measured from the simulations. The analysis method presented here paves the way for a cosmological analysis using three-dimensional tensor-type tracers of large-scale structure for current and future surveys.

The solutions have nontrivial topology labeled by the Hirzebruch signature and Euler characteristic that we compute explicitly. We find that, although the solutions are locally inequivalent with the original (anti-)self-dual Eguchi-Hanson metric, their asymptotically locally Euclidean limit leads to the same global properties. We revisit the Taub-NUT solution previously found in the literature, analyze their nuts and bolts structure, and obtain the renormalized Euclidean on-shell action as well as their topological invariants. Additionally, we discuss how the solutions get modified in presence of higher-curvature corrections that respect conformal invariance. In the conformally invariant case, we obtain novel Eguchi-Hanson and Taub-NUT solutions and demonstrate that both Euclidean on-shell action and Noether-Wald charges are finite without any reference to intrinsic boundary counterterms.

description: It is a common lore that the amplitude for a scattering process involving one soft Nambu--Goldstone boson should scale like an integer power of the soft momentum. We revisit this expectation by considering the $2 \to 2$ scattering of phonons in solids. We show that, depending on the helicities of the phonons involved in the scattering process, the scattering amplitude may in fact vanish like a fractional power of the soft momentum. This is a peculiarity of the 4-point amplitude, which can be traced back to (1) the (spontaneous or explicit) breaking of Lorentz invariance, and (2) the approximately collinear kinematics arising when one of the phonons becomes soft. Our results extend to the general class of non-relativistic shift-invariant theories of a vector field.

description: The E12-14-012 experiment, performed in Jefferson Lab Hall A, has measured the $(e, e'p)$ cross section in parallel kinematics using a natural argon target. Here, we report the full results of the analysis of the data set corresponding to beam energy 2.222 GeV, and spanning the missing momentum and missing energy range $15 \lesssim p_m \lesssim 300$ MeV/c and $12 \lesssim E_m \lesssim 80$ MeV. The reduced cross section, determined as a function of $p_m$ and $E_m$ with $\approx$4\% accuracy, has been fitted using the results of Monte Carlo simulations involving a model spectral function and including the effects of final state interactions. The overall agreement between data and simulations turns out to be quite satisfactory ($χ^2$/n.d.o.f.=1.9). The resulting spectral function will provide valuable new information, needed for the interpretation of neutrino interactions in liquid argon detectors.

description: Objective: Machine learning (ML) based radiation treatment (RT) planning addresses the iterative and time-consuming nature of conventional inverse planning. Given the rising importance of Magnetic resonance (MR) only treatment planning workflows, we sought to determine if an ML based treatment planning model, trained on computed tomography (CT) imaging, could be applied to MR through domain adaptation. Methods: In this study, MR and CT imaging was collected from 55 prostate cancer patients treated on an MR linear accelerator. ML based plans were generated for each patient on both CT and MR imaging using a commercially available model in RayStation 8B. The dose distributions and acceptance rates of MR and CT based plans were compared using institutional dose-volume evaluation criteria. The dosimetric differences between MR and CT plans were further decomposed into setup, cohort, and imaging domain components. Results: MR plans were highly acceptable, meeting 93.1% of all evaluation criteria compared to 96.3% of CT plans, with dose equivalence for all evaluation criteria except for the bladder wall, penile bulb, small and large bowel, and one rectum wall criteria (p<0.05). Changing the input imaging modality (domain component) only accounted for about half of the dosimetric differences observed between MR and CT plans. Anatomical differences between the ML training set and the MR linac cohort (cohort component) were also a significant contributor. Significance: We were able to create highly acceptable MR based treatment plans using a CT-trained ML model for treatment planning, although clinically significant dose deviations from the CT based plans were observed.

description: The advent of high-power Hall thrusters and the increasing interest towards their use as a primary propulsion system for various missions have given a new boost to the efforts aiming at self-consistent predictive modeling of this thruster technology. In this article, we present a novel approach, which allows enhancing the predictive capability of one-dimensional Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations to self-consistently capture the wave-induced electron transport due to the azimuthal instabilities in Hall thrusters. The so-called "pseudo-2D" PIC scheme resulting from this approach is extensively tested in several operating conditions. The results are compared against a well-established 2D3V axial-azimuthal reference case in terms of the axial profiles of the time-averaged plasma properties, the azimuthal electric field fluctuations and their dispersion features, and the contributions of the force terms in the electron azimuthal momentum equation to the cross-field mobility. We have demonstrated that the pseudo-2D PIC provides a prediction of the above aspects that compares very closely in almost all conditions with those from the full-2D simulation. In addition, the sensitivity of the pseudo-2D simulation results to the numerical parameters associated with our approach is assessed in detail. The outcomes of these analyses have casted light on the next steps to further improve the approach.

description: Pre-trained models (PTMs) have become a fundamental backbone for downstream tasks in natural language processing and computer vision. Despite initial gains that were obtained by applying generic PTMs to geo-related tasks at Baidu Maps, a clear performance plateau over time was observed. One of the main reasons for this plateau is the lack of readily available geographic knowledge in generic PTMs. To address this problem, in this paper, we present ERNIE-GeoL, which is a geography-and-language pre-trained model designed and developed for improving the geo-related tasks at Baidu Maps. ERNIE-GeoL is elaborately designed to learn a universal representation of geography-language by pre-training on large-scale data generated from a heterogeneous graph that contains abundant geographic knowledge. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments conducted on large-scale real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of ERNIE-GeoL. ERNIE-GeoL has already been deployed in production at Baidu Maps since April 2021, which significantly benefits the performance of various downstream tasks. This demonstrates that ERNIE-GeoL can serve as a fundamental backbone for a wide range of geo-related tasks.
