description: Spin-ordered states close to metal-insulator transitions are poorly understood theoretically and challenging to probe in experiments. Here, we propose that the quantum twisting microscope, which provides direct access to the energy-momentum resolved spectrum of single-particle and collective excitations, can be used as a novel tool to distinguish between different types of magnetic order. To this end, we calculate the single-particle spectral function and the dynamical spin-structure factor for both a ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic generalized Wigner crystal formed in fractionally filled moiré superlattices of transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures. We demonstrate that magnetic order can be clearly identified in these response functions. Furthermore, we explore signatures of quantum phase transitions in the quantum twisting microscope response. We focus on the specific case of triangular moiré lattices at half filling, which have been proposed to host a topological phase transition between a chiral spin liquid and a 120 degree ordered state. Our work demonstrates the potential for quantum twisting microscopes to characterize quantum magnetism in moiré heterostructures.

description: We extend our model of magnetic braking (MB), driven by an $α-Ω$ dynamo mechanism, from fully convective M-dwarfs (FCMDs) to explain the surface and internal spin $P_\mathrm{spin}$ evolution of partly convective dwarfs (PCDs) starting from the disc-dispersal stage to the main-sequence turnoff. In our model, the spin of the core is governed by shear at the core-envelope boundary while the spin of the envelope is governed by MB and shear. We show that (1) the most massive FCMDs experience a stronger spin-down than PCDs and less massive FCMDs, (2) the stalled spin-down and enhanced activity of K-dwarfs and the pileup of G-dwarfs older than a few Gyr are stellar-structure- and MB-dependent, and weakly dependent on core-envelope coupling effects, (3) our expression of the core-envelope convergence time-scale $τ_\mathrm{converge}(M_\ast,\,P_\mathrm{spin})$ between a few 10 to 100~Myr strongly depends on stellar structure but weakly on MB strength and shear, such that fast and massive rotators achieve corotation earlier, (4) our estimates of the surface magnetic fields are in general agreement with observations and our wind mass loss evolution explains the weak winds from the solar analog $π^1$ UMa and (5) with our model the massive young Sun hypothesis as a solution to the faint young Sun problem can likely be ruled out, because the maximum mass lost by winds from our Sun with our model is about an order of magnitude smaller than required to solve the problem.

description: Introduction: Anticholinergics are a class of medicines that block the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, in the brain and peripheral tissues. Medicines with anticholinergic activity are widely prescribed for and used by older people for various medical conditions. One-third to one-half of the medicines commonly prescribed for older people have anticholinergic activity. Several studies have reported anticholinergic burden to be a predictor of cognitive and functional impairments in older people. Areas covered: This article exemplifies the theoretical and clinical aspects of medicines with anticholinergic activity, including pharmacology (definition of medicines that possess anticholinergic activity, antimuscarinic receptors, therapeutic and adverse effects), epidemiology, measures and effects of cumulative anticholinergic burden in older adults, and clinical recommendations. In addition, the gaps in the literature have been identified for future research. Expert opinion: Many medicines that are commonly prescribed to older people have a degree of anticholinergic activity that can contribute to anticholinergic burden. Anticholinergic burden, measured in several ways that consider number, dose and/or degree of anticholinergic activity of medicines, has shown to be a predictor of adverse health and functional outcomes. The anticholinergic burden on older people should be minimised by avoiding, reducing dose and deprescribing medicines with anticholinergic activity where clinically possible.

description: Present study aimed to investigate the bio-monitoring study of particulate matter (PM) pollutants of 12 roadside plant species, in Aizawl, Mizoram, India (an Indo-Burma hot spot region). While, the second part was ascribed to the bio-magnetic monitoring stidies. Pertaining to first part of study, highest dust deposition was noted for Ramrikawn (RKN-Med) site on Ficus bengalensis (1.2 mg cm−2) and lowest in Bauhinia variegate (0.8 mg cm−2). Further, increased concentration of heavy metals (Fe, Cu and Zn) was recorded at RKN-Med site. Roadside plant leaves of F. bengalensis recorded maximum accumulation of Fe (26.1 mg kg−1) and Cu (19.5 mg kg−1) while Cassia auriculata (12.1 mg kg−1) showed lowest accumulation of Fe. B. variegate (1.88 mg kg−1) recorded lowest accumulation of Cu. Zn was recorded maximum (48.2 mg kg−1) in Mangifera indica while B. variegate showed lowest accumulation of 11.3 mg kg−1 Cu at Ramrikawn site. In relation to second part of the study, M. indica, Ficus benghalensis, Psidium guajava and Artocarpus heterophyllus were found to be efficient in bio-magnetic monitoring because all the magnetic properties (magnetic susceptibility, anhysteretic remanent magnetisation and isothermal remanent magnetisation) were high and significantly correlated with ambient PM (R2 = 0.424 to R2 = 0.998) thus may act as proxy for ambient PM.

description: Among the wide variety of single fluorescent defects investigated in silicon, numerous studies have focused on color centers with a zero-phonon line around $1.28 μ$m and identified to a common carbon-complex in silicon, namely the G center. However, inconsistent estimates regarding their quantum efficiency cast doubt on the correct identification of these individual emitters. Through a comparative analysis of their single-photon emission properties, we demonstrate that these single color centers are split in two distinct families of point defects. A first family consists of the genuine single G centers with a well-identified microscopic structure and whose photoluminescence has been investigated on ensemble measurements since the 60's. The remaining defects belong to a new color center, which we will refer to as G$^{\star}$ center, whose atomic configuration has yet to be determined. These results provide a safeguard against future defect misidentifications, which is crucial for further development of quantum technologies relying on G or G$^{\star}$ center quantum properties.

description: The search for a general model that can operate seamlessly across multiple domains remains a key goal in machine learning research. The prevailing methodology in Reinforcement Learning (RL) typically limits models to a single task within a unimodal framework, a limitation that contrasts with the broader vision of a versatile, multi-domain model. In this paper, we present Jack of All Trades (JAT), a transformer-based model with a unique design optimized for handling sequential decision-making tasks and multi-modal data types. The JAT model demonstrates its robust capabilities and versatility by achieving strong performance on very different RL benchmarks, along with promising results on Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, all using a single set of weights. The JAT model marks a significant step towards more general, cross-domain AI model design, and notably, it is the first model of its kind to be fully open-sourced at https://huggingface.co/jat-project/jat, including a pioneering general-purpose dataset.

description: This paper investigates the use of Neural Network (NN) nonlinear modelling for Power Amplifier (PA) linearization in the Walsh-Hadamard transceiver architecture. This novel architecture has recently been proposed for ultra-high bandwidth systems to reduce the transceiver power consumption by extensive parallelization of the digital baseband hardware. The parallelization is achieved by replacing two-dimensional quadrature modulation with multi-dimensional Walsh-Hadamard modulation. The open research question for this architecture is whether conventional baseband signal processing algorithms can be similarly parallelized while retaining their performance. A key baseband algorithm, digital predistortion using NN models for PA linearization, will be adapted to the parallel Walsh architecture. A straighforward parallelization of the state-of-the-art NN architecture is extended with a cross-domain Knowledge Distillation pre-training method to achieve linearization performance on par with the quadrature implementation. This result paves the way for the entire baseband processing chain to be adapted into ultra-high bandwidth, low-power Walsh transceivers.

Optimal impulsive control for time delay systems

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: We introduce discontinuous solutions to nonlinear impulsive control systems with state time delays in the dynamics and derive necessary optimality conditions in the form of a Maximum Principle for associated optimal control problems. In the case without delays, if the measure control is scalar valued, the corresponding discontinuous state trajectory, understood as a limit of classical state trajectories for absolutely continuous controls approximating the measure, is unique. For vector valued measure controls however, the limiting trajectory is not unique and a full description of the control must include additional `attached' controls affecting instantaneous state evolution at a discontinuity. For impulsive control systems with time delays we reveal a new phenomenon, namely that the limiting state trajectory resulting from different approximations of a given measure control needs not to be unique, even in the scalar case. Correspondingly, our framework allows for additional attached controls, even though the measure control is scalar valued.

description: Nonadiabatic holonomic operations are based on nonadiabatic non-Abelian geometric phases, hence possessing the inherent geometric features for robustness against control errors. However, nonadiabatic holonomic operations are still sensitive to the systematic amplitude error induced by imperfect control of pulse timing or laser intensity. In this work, we present a scheme of nonadiabatic holonomic operations in order to mitigate the said systematic amplitude error. This is achieved by introducing a monitor qubit along with a conditional measurement on the monitor qubit that serves as an error correction device. We shall show how to filter out the undesired effect of the systematic amplitude error, thereby improving the performance of nonadiabatic holonomic operations.

description: Ferroelectric materials display exotic polarization textures at the nanoscale that could be used to improve the energetic efficiency of electronic components. The vast majority of studies were conducted in two dimensions on thin films, that can be further nanostructured, but very few studies address the situation of individual isolated nanocrystals synthesized in solution, while such structures could open other field of applications. In this work, we experimentally and theoretically studied the polarization texture of ferroelectric barium titanate (BaTiO$_3$, BTO) nanocrystals (NC) attached to a conductive substrate and surrounded by air. We synthesized NC of well defined quasi-cubic shape and 160 nm average size, that conserve the tetragonal structure of BTO at room temperature.
 We then investigated the inverse piezoelectric properties of such pristine individual NC by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), taking particular care of suppressing electrostatic artifacts. In all the NC studied, we could not detect any vertical PFM signal, and the maps of the lateral response all displayed larger displacements on the edges. Using field-phase simulations dedicated to ferroelectric nanostructures, we were able to predict the equilibrium polarization texture. These simulations revealed that the NC core is composed of 180° up and down domains defining the polar axis, that rotate by 90° in the two facets orthogonal to this axis, eventually lying within these planes forming a layer of about 10 nm thickness mainly composed of 180° domains along an edge. From this polarization distribution we predicted the lateral PFM response, that revealed to be in very good qualitative agreement with the experimental observations. This work positions PFM as a relevant tool to evaluate the potential of complex ferroelectric nanostructures to be used as sensors.

description: An Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detector falling radially into a four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, coupled linearly to a massless scalar field that has been prepared in the Hartle-Hawking or Unruh state, has recently been shown to exhibit a local extremum in its transition probability near the black hole horizon [K.K. Ng et al., New J. Phys. 24 (2022) 103018]. We show that a similar phenomenon is present in the transition rate of a UDW detector falling radially into a spinless Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole, with the scalar field prepared in the Hartle-Hawking state. We give extensive numerical results as a function of the detector's energy gap, the black hole's mass, and the detector's drop-off radius. Our results suggest that the effect is robust, motivating a search for a similar effect in other black hole spacetimes, and calling for an explanation of the physical origin of the effect.

description: There is a strong desire to develop docetaxel (DTX) formulation with good therapeutic effectiveness in view of serious adverse reactions of the commercial formulation of DTX (Taxotere®). In this study, a redox-responsive DTX-vitamin E prodrug was successfully formulated into liposomes with the drug loading of 4.14% ± 0.10%. Compared with DTX liposomes, the DTX prodrug liposomes (DPLs) showed good stability for 30-d shelf life and during dilution with different media. In vitro antitumor activity of DPLs on human prostatic carcinoma PC-3 cells and human lung cancer A549 cells was evaluated using cytotoxicity and apoptosis assays. In spite of a decrease in in vitro antitumor activity, the in vivo pharmacokinetic study reveals that DPLs exhibit significantly longer DTX plasma half-life (t1/2, 1.38-fold) and higher bioavailability (AUC0−t, 14.49-fold) compared with DTX liposomes. The antitumor activity of DPLs to the A549 tumor xenograft model showed selective accumulation in tumor tissue, significant inhibition the growth of the tumors and a much lower toxicity as seen in body weight loss, compared with DTX-Solution. Taken together, the results showed that DPLs is a promising strategy for DTX antitumor delivery.

Penal transformations: the case of the Chilean juvenile justice system

description: This thesis explores the major transformation of the Chilean juvenile justice system that was implemented in 2007. However, this is a much longer process that involves analysing the inter-relationship between polity building, the transition from authoritarian to democratic rule after 17 years of authoritarian regime over the 1970s and 1980s and the legitimation of democracy in the 1990s. Theoretical approaches to understanding the evolution of crime control and State punishment mechanisms usually refer to elements such as globalization (Newburn and Sparks, 2004), late modernity (Garland, 2001), or political economy (Dignan and Cavadino, 2007; Lacey, 2008). However, theory has also highlighted how the reform of justice systems forms part of broader processes of social transformation which, even though they involve an interaction with the wider world, are also dependent on their historical and local context (Melossi, Sozzo and Sparks, 2011). Nevertheless, most of what is known has been produced in developed, English-speaking democratic countries (or in relation to them) and rather less based on analysis of countries from the global south. The present work aims to reduce this gap. Based on documentary analysis and interviews, this thesis demonstrates the key symbolic role of juvenile justice to legitimate the new democratic rule in times of transition; how the impact of the continuation of authoritarian practices, people and ideology into democratic polity building can shape crime control and State punishment; and how the temporal, historical and cultural conditions of a given context can alter the meaning of what we believe are globally understood concepts and processes. In consequence, this research allows the understanding of a case that has not featured in the wider literature of penal transformation: a developing Latin-American country. It also offers the opportunity to analyse to what extent the existent research and theory of penal transformations can help to explain the drastic change in a context which is different to those where it is usually applied. In doing so, it contributes to the theoretical discussion of penal transformations with empirical research.
Manuscript illumination in Ottonian and early Salian St Gall: iconography, liturgy and devotion

description: This study explores the production of illuminated manuscripts in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Abbey of St Gall, Switzerland, in the period c. 975-1075. Although this monastic institution witnessed a celebrated era of cultural splendour in the ninth century as part of the Carolingian Renaissance, the subsequent Ottonian and early Salian periods represent today an overlooked phase of St Gall’shistory that nonetheless yielded a number of lavishly decorated liturgical manuscripts with full-page scenes, often displaying complex pictorial programmes and innovative iconographies. The first chapter analyses the creation of the Hartker Antiphonary, the oldest illuminated antiphonary with full-page scenes in medieval Europe, its authorship, iconographic particularities, and the impact of the challenging historical circumstances that surrounded the manuscript’s production around the year 1000. The second chapter is devoted to the Sigebert Sacramentary, a monumental and luxurious tool for the Mass, which, as part of the largest manuscript commission documented in Ottonian Germany,was created around the year 1025 for an external patron, the well-connected Bishop Sigebert of Minden. Four Eucharistic manuscripts, three sacramentaries and a gradual, are the subjects of the third chapter, which explores the contemporary manufacture, decoration, and subsequent ritual uses of these books in a monastic context such as St Gall around the year 1050. All three chapters also discuss the devotional inscriptions that accompanied many of these images, therefore permitting a glimpse into the perception of both books and scenes in the eleventh century. The regular liturgical practices of St Gall in this period and the study of important treatises on the liturgy and its symbolism provide a basis to understand the creation of these manuscripts and the meaning that these often innovative iconographies once had amongst an original audience. This latter task is also enhanced by the constant use of wider exegetical readings, paying special attention to authors documented in the collections of the abbey library and highly influential Carolingian scholarship.

description: In this study, we reported folate-conjugated polypropylene imine dendrimers (FA–PPI) as efficient carrier for model anticancer drug, methotrexate (MTX), for pH-sensitive drug release, selective targeting to cancer cells, and anticancer activity. In the in vitro drug release studies this nanoconjugate of MTX showed initial rapid release followed by gradual slow release, and the drug release was found to be pH sensitive with greater release at acidic pH. The ex vivo investigations with human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7, showed enhanced cytotoxicity of MTX–FA–PPI with significantly enhanced intracellular uptake. The biofate of nanoconjugate was determined in Wistar rat where MTX–FA–PPI showed 37.79-fold increase in the concentration of MTX in liver after 24 h in comparison with free MTX formulation.

description: We discuss the Carleman approach to the quantum simulation of classical fluids, as applied to i) Lattice Boltzmann (CLB), ii) Navier-Stokes (CNS) and iii) Grad (CG) formulations of fluid dynamics. CLB shows excellent convergence properties, but it is plagued by nonlocality which results in an exponential depth of the corresponding circuit with the number of Carleman variables. The CNS offers a dramatic reduction of the number Carleman variables, which might lead to a viable depth, provided locality can be preserved and convergence can be achieved with a moderate number of iterates also at sizeable Reynolds numbers. Finally it is argued that CG might combine the best of CLB and CNS.

“Is Judah indeed the Teutonic Fatherland?” The Debate over the Hebrew Legacy at the Turn of the 18th Century
Creators: name: Ilany, Ofri
Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Subjects: subject: 230 Christentum, christliche Theologie

description: The article presents the eighteenth-century discussion on the place of Hebrew legacy within German culture. It argues that the exemplar of Hebrew poetry played a pivotal role in the work of a group of influential writers, especially members of the Sturm und Drang movement. As a reaction to anti-Biblical attacks by Deists and radical Enlightenment philosophers, German thinkers and poets posited the Old Testament as a model for sentimental and patriotic poetry. The Hebrew model acted as one of the cultural elements that allowed German literature of that period to distinguish itself from French-identified Neoclassical literature and develop its own stylistic and thematic avenues. In the first decades of the nineteenth century, new myths such as the Hindu-Aryan myth dethroned Hebrew myth from its central role in German identity. However, the search for the roots of German culture in Asia grew out of biblical scholarship, and only gradually disengaged from it.

description: A follow-up study to Brüggemann et al. (2017), The appeasement effect of a United Nations climate summit on the German public Abstract
 Heat waves occurring around the world, outspoken warnings from scientists, international climate ac-tivism, and ensuing political debates on climate protection have ensured that climate change has finally caught the public’s attention. This comparative analysis of public opinion during three UN climate sum-mits illustrates the awakening of public awareness of and an increased willingness to actively engage with climate change, probably as the cumulative effect of this combination of events. Comparing cli-mate change awareness, communicative engagement, knowledge, attitudes, and climate-friendly be-haviour during the 2015 (n = 1,477), 2018 (n = 1,044) and 2019 (n = 1,000) UN climate summits, we find major and consistently positive changes in various forms of active engagement with the issue. These results indicate that the appeasement effect observed in an earlier study during the 2015 Paris summit is over: the German public is now ready to take decisive steps to tackle the climate problem.
Topological flat bands, valley polarization, and interband superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene with proximitized spin-orbit couplings

description: We study theoretically the magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene with proximity-induced Ising and Rashba spin-orbit couplings on the top layer. Topological flat bands (with three distinct phases) are generically realized by the spin-orbit couplings. Using a mean field analysis, we find that (partial) valley polarization prevails for a wide range of doping, suppressing the usual superconductivity with a pairing between time-reversal partners. Remarkably, we uncover that observable unconventional intervalley interband phonon-mediated superconductivity (with the highest $T_c\approx 1.2$K) can coexist with strong valley imbalance due to the approximate Fermi surface nesting between two flat bands not related by time-reversal symmetry, and the dominant pairing is an intersublattice Ising pairing, corresponding to a mixture of $p$- and $d$-waves. In contrast, the intrasublattice Ising phonon-mediated superconductivity with $s$- and $f$-wave mixing emerges in the absence of valley imbalance. Our work reveals an unprecedented route of realizing unconventional superconductivity.

description: The 31 crania of the agriochoerid oreodont from the Hancock Mammal Quarry (HMQ) possess character states unique among described agriochoerid species. Characters unique to the HMQ agriochoerid include a triangular P2; a P3 with a posterolingual cone and heart-shaped occlusal outline; a P4 with separate anterolabial and posterolabial cones, but without a posterolingual conule; upper molars with large styles and lacking paraconules; lower molars without lingual cingulids, but possessing small metastylids and parastylids; and a mandibular symphysis that is perpendicular to the tooth row without ventral displacement of the p1. We subjected previous size comparisons to an F-test and Welch's t-test and found that the tooth row lengths of the HMQ agriochoerid have significantly different variance and means from Agriochoeus matthewi crassus (P = .005), a taxon to which this population has previously been assigned. Taken together, these characters are diagnostic of a new species, which we describe here as Diplobunops kardoula. The HMQ specimens show that some of the diagnostic dental characters of agriochoerids currently in use change with wear and may be biased by taphonomy. Furthermore, characters diagnostic of both Agriochoerus and Diplobunops are present in the HMQ agriochoerid, and many of the species-level diagnostic characters of agriochoerids are continuously variable or polymorphic within the HMQ population. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1731B5C5-0C56-486A-8B46-46396F26EEF5 SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP Citation for this article: Emery, M.

description: Core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosions powered by rotation and magnetic fields present an interesting astrophysical site for nucleosynthesis that potentially contributes to the production of $r$-process elements. Here we present yields of the innermost ejecta in 3D magnetorotational CCSN models simulated using the CoCoNuT-FMT code. Strong magnetic fields tap the rotational energy of the proto-neutron star and lead to earlier and more energetic ($\sim 3\times 10^{51}$ erg) explosions than typical neutrino-driven CCSNe. Compared to a reference non-magnetic model, the ejecta in the magnetorotational models have much more neutron-rich components with Ye down to $\sim$0.25. Our post-processing calculations with the reaction network SkyNet show significant production of weak $r$-process elements up to mass number $\sim$130. We find negligible differences in the synthesis of heavy elements between two magnetorotational models with different initial field strength of 10$^{10}$ and 10$^{12}$ G, in accord with their similar explosion dynamics. The magnetorotational models produce about $\sim$0.19 and 0.14 Msun of radioactive $^{56}$Ni, on the low end of inferred hypernova nickel masses. The yields are publicly available at Zenodo: doi:10.5281/zenodo.10578981 for comparison with stellar abundance patterns, inclusion in modelling galactic chemical evolution, and comparison with other yield calculations. Our results add to the yet restricted corpus of nucleosynthesis yields from 3D magnetorotational supernova simulations and will help quantify yield uncertainties.
