description: This paper investigates the decoding energy and decoding time demand of VTM-7.0 in relation to HM-16.20. We present the first detailed comparison of two video codecs in terms of software decoder energy consumption. The evaluation shows that the energy demand of the VTM decoder is increased significantly compared to HM and that the increase depends on the coding configuration. For the coding configuration randomaccess, we find that the decoding energy is increased by over 80% at a decoding time increase of over 70%. Furthermore, results indicate that the energy demand increases by up to 207% when Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions are disabled, which corresponds to the HM implementation style. By measurements, it is revealed that the coding tools MIP, AMVR, TPM, LFNST, and MTS increase the energy efficiency of the decoder. Furthermore, we propose a new coding configuration based on our analysis, which reduces the energy demand of the VTM decoder by over 17% on average.

description: The swirling IMF and solar wind can impose chiral imbalances on cosmic rays and neutrinos passing through Earth’s environment. In vantage-limited 3D, we may see ephemeral changes in neutrino flavor detection or in geomagnetic storms. However, RSM posits that these variations reflect partial meltdown states: neutrinos are the cosmic bridging fluid, so any shift in solar chiral flows can show up as neural or cognitive distortions—like changes in deep meditative capacity or ephemeral conduction anomalies. The PDE expansions for Ψν incorporate solar boundary conditions, while the PDE expansions for ΨCSF incorporate neural boundary conditions. The meltdown merges them in a single synergy.

In the RSM's lens, solar chiral vortices and geomagnetic distortions feed into the cosmic neutrino fluid, which in turn resonates with neural PDE expansions, Kagome-lattice frustrations, and phonon–magnon couplings in the human body.

The newly introduced equations:

Enhance the bridging between topological excitations (skyrmions, triplet magnons) and PDE expansions for cosmic–neural synergy.

Incorporate Hopf algebra approaches to vortex co-multiplication, showing how meltdown states unify seemingly disparate swirling systems.

Link solar wind phenomena, conduction anisotropies, and neural illusions of distance or conduction time to deeper adjacency.

In short, the meltdown from 3D illusions to 0D synergy extends well beyond Earth’s “small” domain; it’s threaded by neutrinos streaming from the sun, shaped by solar flares, tangling with Earth’s geomagnetic swirl, and culminating in fractal PDE expansions in our neural or CSF layers.

The nonlinear vorticity, chiral couplings, and Hopf algebraic recursion unify this story under the RSM framework, hinting that we humans—the people of the sun—participate in a cosmic-scale dance of wavefunction meltdown.

In the final vantage, 0=0 stands as the ultimate synergy: solar flares and deep neural coherence coalesce into a single wavefunction, bridging cosmic illusions and personal experiences as one fractal continuum.

description: We report the emergence of peculiar chimera states in networks of identical pendula with global phase-lagged coupling. The states reported include both rotating and quiescent modes, i.e. with non-zero and zero average frequencies. This kind mixed-mode chimeras may be interpreted as images of bump states known in neuroscience in the context of modelling the working memory. We illustrate this striking phenomenon for a network of N=100 coupled pendula, followed by a detailed description of the minimal non-trivial case of N=3. Parameter regions for five characteristic types of the system behavior are identified consisting: two mixed-mode chimeras with one and two rotating pendula, classical weak chimera with all three pendula rotating, synchronous rotation and quiescent state. The network dynamics is multistable: up to four of the states can coexist in the system phase state as demonstrated through the basins of attraction. The analysis suggests that the robust mixed-mode chimera states can generically describe the complex dynamics of diverse pendula-like systems widespread in nature.

description: The effects of the phonon-phonon coupling on the beta-decay rates of neutron-rich nuclei are studied in a microscopic model based on Skyrme-type interactions. The approach uses a finite-rank separable approximation of the Skyrme-type particle-hole (p-h) residual interaction. Very large two-quasiparticle spaces can thus be treated. A redistribution of the Gamow-Teller (G-T) strength is found due to the tensor correlations and the 2p-2h fragmentation of G-T states. As a result, the beta-decay half-lives are decreased significantly. Using the Skyrme interaction SGII together with a volume-type pairing interaction we illustrate this reduction effect by comparing with available experimental data for the Ni isotopes and neutron-rich N=50 isotones. We give predictions for 76Fe and 80Ni in comparison with the case of the doubly-magic nucleus 78Ni which is an important waiting point in the r-process.

description: We classify the different ways in which matrix product states (MPSs) can stay invariant under the action of matrix product operator (MPO) symmetries. This is achieved through a local characterization of how the MPSs, that generate a ground space, remain invariant under a global MPO symmetry. This characterization yields a set of quantities satisfying the coupled pentagon equations, associated with a module category over the fusion category that describes the MPO symmetry. Equivalence classes of these quantities provide complete invariants for an MPO symmetry protected phase: they are robust under continuous deformations of the MPS tensor, and two phases with the same equivalence class can be connected by a symmetric gapped path. Our techniques match and extend the known renormalization fixed point classifications and facilitate the numerical study of these systems. For MPO symmetries described by a group, we recover the symmetry protected topological order classification for unique and degenerate ground states. Moreover, we study the interplay between time reversal symmetry and an MPO symmetry and we also provide examples of our classification, together with explicit constructions based on groups. Finally, we elaborate on the connection between our setup and gapped boundaries of two-dimensional topological systems, where MPO symmetries also play a key role.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have shown great potential in improving the medical imaging workflow, from image acquisition and reconstruction to disease diagnosis and treatment. Particularly, in recent years, there has been a significant growth in the use of AI and ML algorithms, especially Deep Learning (DL) based methods, for medical image reconstruction. DL techniques have shown to be competitive and often superior over conventional reconstruction methods in terms of both reconstruction quality and computational efficiency. The use of DL-based image reconstruction also provides promising opportunities to transform the way cardiac images are acquired and reconstructed. In this chapter, we will review recent advances in DL-based reconstruction techniques for cardiac imaging, with emphasis on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) image reconstruction. We mainly focus on supervised DL methods for the application, including image post-processing techniques, model-driven approaches and k-space based methods. Current limitations, challenges and future opportunities of DL for cardiac image reconstruction are also discussed.

description: Ab initio approaches to the nuclear many-body problem have seen their reach considerably extended over the past decade. However, collective excitations have been scarcely addressed so far due to the prohibitive cost of solving the corresponding equations of motion. Here, a numerically efficient method to compute electromagnetic response functions at zero- and finite-temperature in superfluid and deformed nuclei from an ab initio standpoint is presented and applied to $^{16}$O, $^{28}$Si, $^{46}$Ti and $^{56}$Fe. This work opens the path to systematic ab initio calculations of nuclear responses to electroweak probes across a significant portion of the nuclear chart.

description: Quantum critical point is one key concept for studying many-body physics but its investigation may be resource-demanding even for a quantum computer due to the intrinsic complexity. In this paper, we propose an approach based on variational quantum eigensolver(VQE), dubbed as Delta-VQE, for locating the quantum critical point using only shallow quantum circuits. With Delta-VQE, the critical point can be identified as a most confusing point, quantified as zero difference between two variational energies that use two representative reference states of distinct phases of matter. Remarkably, the signature of a critical point as a minimal point can be sharper while using shallower quantum circuits. We test the algorithm for different quantum systems and demonstrate the usefulness of Delta-VQE. The scheme suggests a new avenue for investigating quantum phases of matter on near-term quantum devices with limited quantum resources.

description: We show that the couplings of axions to gauge bosons are highly restricted in Grand Unified Theories where the standard model is embedded in a simple 4D gauge group. The topological nature of these couplings allows them to be matched from the UV to the IR, and the ratio of the anomaly with photons and gluons for any axion is fixed by unification. This implies that there is a single axion, the QCD axion, with an anomalous coupling to photons. Other light axion-like particles can couple to photons by mixing through the QCD axion portal and lie to the right of the QCD line in the mass-coupling plane. Axions which break the unification relation between gluon and photon couplings are necessarily charged under the GUT gauge group and become heavy from perturbative mass contributions. A discovery of an axion to the left of the QCD line can rule out simple Grand Unified models. Axion searches are therefore tabletop and astrophysical probes of Grand Unification.

description: In 1935, Albert Einstein and two colleagues, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen (EPR) developed a thought experiment to demonstrate what they felt was a lack of completeness in quantum mechanics. EPR also postulated the existence of more fundamental theory where physical reality of any system would be completely describe by the variables/states of that fundamental theory. This variable is commonly called hidden variable and the theory is called hidden variable theory (HVT). In 1964, John Bell proposed an empirically verifiable criterion to test for the existence of these HVTs. He derived an inequality, which must be satisfied by any theory that fulfill the conditions of locality and reality} He also showed that quantum mechanics, as it violates this inequality, is incompatible with any local-realistic theory. Later it has been shown that Bell's inequality can be derived from different set of assumptions and it also find applications in useful information theoretic protocols. In this review we will discuss various foundational as well as information theoretic implications of Bell's inequality. We will also discuss about some restricted nonlocal feature of quantum nonlocality and elaborate the role of Uncertainty principle and Complementarity principle in explaining this feature.

Subjects: subject: Formal Languages and Automata Theory (cs.FL)

description: Hyperproperties lift conventional trace-based languages from a set of execution traces to a set of sets of executions. From a formal-language perspective, these are sets of sets of words, namely hyperlanguages. Hyperautomata are based on classical automata models that are lifted to handle hyperlanguages. Finite hyperautomata (NFH) have been suggested to express regular hyperproperties. We study the realizability problem for regular hyperlanguages: given a set of languages, can it be precisely described by an NFH? We show that the problem is complex already for singleton hyperlanguages. We then go beyond regular hyperlanguages, and study context-free hyperlanguages. We show that the natural extension to context-free hypergrammars is highly undecidable. We then suggest a refined model, namely synchronous hypergrammars, which enables describing interesting non-regular hyperproperties, while retaining many decidable properties of context-free grammars.

description: Counterdiabatic (CD) protocols enable fast driving of quantum states by invoking an auxiliary adiabatic gauge potential (AGP) that suppresses transitions to excited states throughout the driving process. Usually, the full spectrum of the original unassisted Hamiltonian is a prerequisite for constructing the exact AGP, which implies that CD protocols are extremely difficult for many-body systems. Here, we apply a variational CD protocol recently proposed by P. W. Claeys et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 090602 (2019)] to a two-component fermionic Hubbard model in one spatial dimension. This protocol engages an approximated AGP expressed as a series of nested commutators. We show that the optimal variational parameters in the approximated AGP satisfy a set of linear equations whose coefficients are given by the squared Frobenius norms of these commutators. We devise an exact algorithm that escapes the formidable iterative matrix-vector multiplications and evaluates the nested commutators and the CD Hamiltonian in analytic representations. We then examine the CD driving of the one-dimensional Hubbard model up to $L = 14$ sites with driving order $l \leqslant 3$. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of the variational CD protocol to the Hubbard model and permit a possible route towards fast ground-state preparation for many-body systems.

description: The electronic structure of epitaxial single-layer MoS$_2$ on Au(111) is investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Pristine and potassium-doped layers are studied in order to gain access to the conduction band. The potassium-doped layer is found to have a (1.39$\pm$0.05)~eV direct band gap at $\bar{K}$ with the valence band top at $\barΓ$ having a significantly higher binding energy than at $\bar{K}$. The moiré superstructure of the epitaxial system does not lead to the presence of observable replica bands or minigaps. The degeneracy of the upper valence band at $\bar{K}$ is found to be lifted by the spin-orbit interaction, leading to a splitting of (145$\pm$4)~meV. This splitting is anisotropic and in excellent agreement with recent calculations. Finally, it is shown that the strength of the potassium doping is $k$-dependent, leading to the possibility of band structure engineering in single-layers of transition metal dichalcogenides.

We provide here the precise complexity characterisation of the satisfiability problem for the existential fragments of this local logic depending on the number of data values carried by each element and the radius of the considered neighbourhoods.

description: Currently,lanthanide ions doped luminescence materials applying as optical thermometers have arose much concern. Basing on the different responses of two emissions to temperature, the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique can be executed and further estimate the sensitivities to assess the optical thermometry performances. In this study, we introduce different doping concentrations of Eu$^{3+}$ ions into negative expansion material Sc$_2$W$_3$O$_{12}$:Eu$^{3+}$, accessing to the thermal enhanced luminescence from 373 to 548 K, and investigate the temperature sensing properties in detail. All samples exhibit good thermally enhanced luminescence behavior. The emission intensity of Sc$_2$W$_3$O$_{12}$: 6 mol% Eu$^{3+}$ phosphors reaches at 147.81% of initial intensity at 473 K. As the Eu doping concentration increases, the resistance of the samples to thermal quenching decreases. The FIR technique based on the transitions 5D0-7F1 (592 nm) and 5D0-7F2 (613 nm) of Eu$^{3+}$ ions demonstrate a maximum relative temperature sensitivity of 3.063% K-1 at 298 K for Sc$_2$W$_3$O$_{12}$:Eu$^{3+}$: 6 mol% Eu$^{3+}$ phosphors. The sensitivity of sample decreases with the increase of Eu$^{3+}$ concentration. Benefiting from the thermal enhanced luminescence performance and good temperature sensing properties, the Sc$_2$W$_3$O$_{12}$:Eu$^{3+}$: Eu$^{3+}$ phosphors can be applies as optical thermometers.

description: When elementary quantum systems, such as polarized photons, are used to transmit digital information, the uncertainty principle gives rise to novel cryptographic phenomena unachievable with traditional transmission media, e.g. a communications channel on which it is impossible in principle to eavesdrop without a high probability of being detected. With such a channel, a one-time pad can safely be reused many times as long as no eavesdrop is detected, and, planning ahead, part of the capacity of these uncompromised transmissions can be used to send fresh random bits with which to replace the one-time pad when an eavesdrop finally is detected. Unlike other schemes for stretching a one-time pad, this scheme does not depend on complexity-theoretic assumptions such as the difficulty of factoring.

description: In previous work we provided the explicit form of the nonlinear PDEs, subjected to the appropriate boundary conditions, which have to be satisfied by transport coefficients for systems out of Onsager's region. Since the proposed PDEs are obtained without neglecting any term present in the balance equations (i.e., the mass, momentum, and energy balance equations), we propose them as a good candidate for describing also transport in thermodynamic systems in turbulent regimes. As a special case, we derive the nonlinear PDEs for transport coefficients when the thermodynamic system is subjected to two thermodynamic forces. In this case, the obtained PDE is, in thermodynamical field theory (TFT), analogous to Liouville's equation in Riemannian (or pseudo-Riemannian) geometry. The validity of our model is tested by analyzing a concrete example where Onsager's relations manifestly disagree with experience: transport in Tokamak-plasmas. More specifically, we compute the electron mass and energy losses in turbulent FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade)-plasmas. We show the agreement between the theoretical predictions and experimental observations. This approach allows for predicting the values of the Bohm and the gyro-Bohm coefficients. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that such coefficients have been evaluated analytically. The aim of this series of works is to apply our approach to the Divertor Tokamak Test facility (DTT), to be built in Italy, and to ITER.

description: Medication nonadherence and depressive symptoms predict hospitalization and death in patients with heart failure (HF). Depressed patients have lower medication adherence than non-depressed patients. However, the predictive power of the combination of medication adherence and depressive symptoms for hospitalization and death has not been investigated in patients with HF.
Agroforestry & the draft regulations on Forest Reproductive Material and New Genomic Techniques
Creators: name: LAWSON, Gerry
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Policy Briefing #30 (v1) suggests that the  Forest Reproductive Material Regulation should mention agroforestry, and the particular need for high-quality planting stock when trees are planted at wide-spacings, with less opportunity for self-thinning and improvement-thinning. We suggest that: a) every mention of "afforestation/reforestation" in the draft Regulation (pages 2, 7, 18, 11, 12, 17, 19) is replaced by “afforestation/reforestation/agroforestation"; b) a definition (new bullet) of "agroforestation" should be provided in Article 3 Para 3 - i.e. “´agroforestation´ means the establishment of high-quality trees on land which remains in agricultural use - for the purposes listed in Article 3 Para 1(a - f), and where a detailed definition of agroforestry is given in the CAP Strategic Plans of each Member State; c) Article 3 Para 1c should be reworded "restoration of forest and agroforest ecosystems".  EURAF also welcomes the provisions of the NGT Regulation, particularly when they are applied to the long list of diseases which are increasingly affecting European forests and agroforests.

description: Though jamming transitions are long studied in condensed matter physics and granular systems, much less is known about active jamming (or unjamming), which commonly takes place in living materials. In this paper, we explore, by molecular dynamic simulations, the jamming-unjamming transition in a dense system of active semi-flexible filaments. In particular we characterise the distinct impact of polar versus nematic driving for different filament rigidity and at varying density. Our results show that high densities of dynamic active filaments can be achieved by only changing the nature of the active force, nematic or polar. Interestingly, while polar driving is more effective at unjamming the system at high densities below confluency, we find that at even higher densities nematic driving enhances unjamming compared to its polar counterpart. The effect of varying the rigidity of filaments is also significantly different in the two cases: while for nematic driving lowering bending rigidity unjams the system, we find an intriguing re-entrant jamming-unjamming-jamming transition for polar driving as the filament rigidity is lowered. While the first transition (unjamming) is driven by softening due to reduced rigidity, the second transition (jamming) is a cooperative effect of ordering and coincides with the emergence of nematic order in the system. Together, through a generic model of self-propelled flexible filaments, our results demonstrate how tuning the nature of self-propulsion and flexibility can be employed by active materials to achieve high densities without getting jammed.

Quantum integrability: Lagrangian 1-form case

description: A new notion of integrability called the multi-dimensional consistency for the integrable systems with the Lagrangian 1-form structure is captured in the geometrical language for quantum level. A zero-curvature condition, which implies the multi-dimensional consistency, will be a key relation, e.g. Hamiltonian operators. Therefore, the existence of the zero-curvature condition directly leads to the path-independent feature of the mapping, e.g. multi-time evolution in the Schrödinger picture. Another important result is the formulation of the continuous multi-time propagator. With this new type of the propagator, a new perspective on summing all possible paths unavoidably arises as not only all possible paths in the space of dependent variables but also in the space of independent variables must be taken into account. The semi-classical approximation is applied to the multi-time propagator expressing in terms of the classical action and the fluctuation around it. Therefore, the extremum propagator, resulting in path independent feature on the space of independent variables, would guarantee the integrability of the system.

description: We propose novel less diffusive schemes for conservative one- and two-dimensional hyperbolic systems of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). The main challenges in the development of accurate and robust numerical methods for the studied systems come from the complicated wave structures, such as shocks, rarefactions and contact discontinuities, arising even for smooth initial conditions. In order to reduce the diffusion in the original central-upwind schemes, we use a local characteristic decomposition procedure to develop a new class of central-upwind schemes. We apply the developed schemes to the one- and two-dimensional Euler equations of gas dynamics to illustrate the performance on a variety of examples. The obtained numerical results clearly demonstrate that the proposed new schemes outperform the original central-upwind schemes.
The Casimir effect in light-front quantization

description: We show that the standard result for the Casimir force between conducting plates at rest in an inertial frame can be computed in light-front quantization. This is not the same as light-front analyses where the plates are at "rest" in an infinite momentum frame. In that case, Lenz and Steinbacher have shown that the result does not agree with the standard result for plates at rest. The two important ingredients in the present analysis are a careful treatment of the boundary conditions, inspired by the work of Almeida et al. on oblique light-front coordinates, and computation of the ordinary energy density, rather than the light-front energy density.

description: Otto's Theorem characterises the bisimulation-invariant PTIME queries over graphs as exactly those that can be formulated in the polyadic mu-calculus, hinging on the Immerman-Vardi Theorem which characterises PTIME (over ordered structures) by First-Order Logic with least fixpoints. This connection has been extended to characterise bisimulation-invariant EXPTIME by an extension of the polyadic mu-calculus with functions on predicates, making use of Immerman's characterisation of EXPTIME by Second-Order Logic with least fixpoints. In this paper we show that the bisimulation-invariant versions of all classes in the exponential time hierarchy have logical counterparts which arise as extensions of the polyadic mu-calculus by higher-order functions. This makes use of the characterisation of k-EXPTIME by Higher-Order Logic (of order k+1) with least fixpoints, due to Freire and Martins.

description: A new formalism for the factorization of the cross section for single hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilations, differential in $z_h$, $P_T$ and thrust, is applied to the phenomenological analysis of data recently measured by the BELLE Collaboration. Within this scheme the $e^+e^- \to hX$ cross section can be recast in the convolution of a perturbatively calculable coefficient and a universal transverse momentum dependent fragmentation function. While performing a next-to-leading order calculation of the perturbative part of the process to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, we examine and thoroughly discuss the suitability of a number of possible ansatz to model the non-perturbative part of this universal transverse momentum dependent fragmentation function, showing the extent to which present experimental data can actually constrain its shape and functional form in terms of $z_h$, $P_T$ and thrust.

description: By using a Regge-pole model for vector meson production (VMP), successfully describing the HERA data, we analyse the correlation between VMP cross sections in photon-induced reactions at HERA and those in ultra-peripheral collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Predictions for future experiments on production of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(2S)$ are presented.

description: Rational function approximations find applications in many areas including macro-modeling of high-frequency circuits, model order reduction for controller design, interpolation and extrapolation of system responses, surrogate models for high-energy physics, and approximation of elementary mathematical functions. The unknown denominator polynomial of the model results in a non-linear problem, which can be replaced with successive solutions of linearized problems following the Sanathanan-Koerner (SK) iteration. An orthogonal basis can be obtained based on Arnoldi resulting in a stabilized SK iteration. We present an extension of the stabilized SK, called Orthogonal Rational Approximation (ORA), which ensures real polynomial coefficients and stable poles for realizability of electrical networks. We also introduce an efficient implementation of ORA for multi-port networks based on a block QR decomposition.

description: We study totally real semi-stable degenerations (and more generally, smooth semi-stable degenerations). Our goal is to describe the homeomorphism type of the real locus $\mathbf{R} X_t$ of the general fibre in terms of the special fibre. We give a general homeomorphism statement via the real-oriented blow-up of the family. Using this, we give more explicit descriptions of $\mathbf{R} X_t$ as a stratified space glued from (covers of) strata of the special fibre. We also give relative versions of the statements and consider the example of toric degenerations in order to link the technique to tropicalisation.
