description: This study describes a survey designed to evaluate instruction in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in order to determine whether librarian-led GIS instruction will facilitate the application of GIS to related coursework. The respondents were graduate students who participated in a three-day intensive instruction program given at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill called GIS Boot Camp for Planners. The results of the survey show that the GIS instruction sessions were found to be useful in related coursework and increased the students' comfort level with GIS software. The students' perceptions of their knowledge acquisition show increased levels of confidence for all the major learning objectives of the program. Suggestions are made for the improvement of this program and those similar to it at other institutions.

description: The lack of a suitable tool for the analysis of conversational texts in the Persian language has made various analyses of these texts, including Sentiment Analysis, difficult. In this research, we tried to make the understanding of these texts easier for the machine by providing PSC, Persian Slang Converter, a tool for converting conversational texts into formal ones, and by using the most up-to-date and best deep learning methods along with the PSC, the sentiment learning of short Persian language texts for the machine in a better way. be made More than 10 million unlabeled texts from various social networks and movie subtitles (as Conversational texts) and about 10 million news texts (as formal texts) have been used for training unsupervised models and formal implementation of the tool. 60,000 texts from the comments of Instagram social network users with positive, negative, and neutral labels are considered supervised data for training the emotion classification model of short texts. Using the formal tool, 57% of the words of the corpus of conversation were converted. Finally, by using the formalizer, FastText model, and deep LSTM network, an accuracy of 81.91 was obtained on the test data.

This paper explores the nature of NESS phase transitions in two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice under effective interactions using Monte Carlo (MC) algorithms. This requires extensive MC simulations using the modified Metropolis and modified Glauber update rules. The qualification of the modified update rules is characterized by the definition of an effective parameter $h$. For $|h|>1$, it is analytically shown that the nature of the phase transition (including the critical temperature) is independent of $h$. Furthermore, for $-1

description: Past studies on end-to-end meeting transcription have focused on model architecture and have mostly been evaluated on simulated meeting data. We present a novel study aiming to optimize the use of a Speaker-Attributed ASR (SA-ASR) system in real-life scenarios, such as the AMI meeting corpus, for improved speaker assignment of speech segments. First, we propose a pipeline tailored to real-life applications involving Voice Activity Detection (VAD), Speaker Diarization (SD), and SA-ASR. Second, we advocate using VAD output segments to fine-tune the SA-ASR model, considering that it is also applied to VAD segments during test, and show that this results in a relative reduction of Speaker Error Rate (SER) up to 28%. Finally, we explore strategies to enhance the extraction of the speaker embedding templates used as inputs by the SA-ASR system. We show that extracting them from SD output rather than annotated speaker segments results in a relative SER reduction up to 20%.

description: We present a new method for imposing a realistic equation of state in anisotropic hydrodynamics. The method relies on the introduction of a single finite-temperature quasiparticle mass which is fit to lattice data. By taking moments of the Boltzmann equation, we obtain a set of coupled partial differential equations which can be used to describe the 3+1d spacetime evolution of an anisotropic relativistic system. We then specialize to the case of a 0+1d system undergoing boost-invariant Bjorken expansion and subject to the relaxation-time approximation collisional kernel. Using this setup, we compare results obtained using the new quasiparticle equation of state method with those obtained using the standard method for imposing the equation of state in anisotropic hydrodynamics. We demonstrate that the temperature evolution obtained using the two methods is nearly identical and that there are only small differences in the pressure anisotropy. However, we find that there are significant differences in the evolution of the bulk pressure correction.

Music information retrieval

description: The cataloging of musical materials has always posed challenges for librarians, requiring special treatment for classification and organization. Accurate description is critical for achieving high-recall retrieval and access by patrons. This study considers the challenge of music description through content analysis of the popular music websites AllMusic.com and Last.fm. The goal of the research was to gain a better understanding of how users describe their music collections. The findings in this study illustrate that hierarchical vocabulary structures are clearly evident within the Last.fm folksonomy. The findings also show that tagging data is more reliable in representing musical genre/subject than previously speculated, indicating that with proper analysis and coding, social tag data could be harvested to provide genre-level metadata for popular music titles. The work presented here contributes a methodology for further study of this topic, specific to music folksonomies and vocabularies, which may also be useful for other disciplines.
Counting lattice points in free sums of polytopes

description: We show how to compute the Ehrhart polynomial of the free sum of two lattice polytopes containing the origin $P$ and $Q$ in terms of the enumerative combinatorics of $P$ and $Q$. This generalizes work of Beck, Jayawant, McAllister, and Braun, and follows from the observation that the weighted $h^*$-polynomial is multiplicative with respect to the free sum. We deduce that given a lattice polytope $P$ containing the origin, the problem of computing the number of lattice points in all rational dilates of $P$ is equivalent to the problem of computing the number of lattice points in all integer dilates of all free sums of $P$ with itself.

description: This study is an in-depth evaluation of interfaces used by six interviewed educators to teach K-12 students how to code. Through examination of these discovered interfaces and interviewees' experiences with them, their utility and effectiveness for coding education is analyzed. The study reveals that much of an interface's utility relies upon the information needs of the specific educational environment. It also reveals that an interface's effectiveness, as defined by the educators interviewed, has less to do with relaying specific programming concepts and more to do with creation, exploration, student interest, and fun. The results of this study may be of help to educators interested in starting coding education programs, and need to find an interface that fits their students' needs.

description: The simplest Higgs-portal scalar dark matter model, in which a real scalar singlet is added to the standard model, has been revisited, by taking into account the constraints from perturbativity, electroweak vacuum stability in the early Universe, dark matter direct detection, and Higgs invisible decay at the LHC. We show that the {\it resonant mass region} is totally excluded and the {\it high mass region} is reduced to a narrow window $1.1$ ~TeV $\leq m_{s} \leq$ $ 2.55$~ TeV, which is slightly reduced to $1.1$~TeV $\leq m_{s} \leq$ $ 2.0$~ TeV if the perturbativity is further imposed. This {\it high mass range} can be fully detected by the Xenon 1T experiment.

description: Metal thin films on soft polymers provide a unique opportunity for resistance-based strain sensors. A mechanical mismatch between the conductive film and the flexible substrate causes cracks to open and close, changing the electrical resistance as a function of strain. However, the very randomness of the formation, shape, length, orientation, and distance between adjacent cracks limits the sensing range as well as repeatability. Herein, we present a breakthrough: the Zerogap Strain Sensor, whereby lithography eliminates randomness and violent tearing process inherent in conventional crack sensors and allows for short periodicity between gaps with gentle sidewall contacts, critical in high strain sensing enabling operation over an unprecedently wide range. Our sensor achieves a gauge factor of over 15,000 at εext=18%, the highest known value. With the uniform gaps of three-to-ten thousand nanometer widths characterized by periodicity and strain, this approach has far reaching implications for future strain sensors whose range is limited only by that of the flexible substrate, with non-violent operations that always remain below the tensile limit of the metal.

description: Web site developers frequently become captivated with technology and ignore the needs of the users while developing web sites. This can result in confusing user interfaces, unstructured information, and improper content. Once a web site is in place it can be very costly to redesign and time consuming to redesign it. This paper analyzes the principles of web site design and the design of public sector web sites. Research shows that as citizens use the web with increasing frequency, redesigning a web site can make it more accessible, usable, and engaging. Other studies on web site design demonstrate that the proper use of navigational tools can also improve the user experience. To show the practical application of the principles discussed the information needs of the Orange County Recreation and Parks Department are studied. The study consists of a stakeholder analysis, user analysis, information analysis, prototype design, and prototype redesign.
Prospects for Higgs- and Z-resonant Neutralino Dark Matter

description: In the minimal supersymmetric standard models, neutralino dark matter with mass of $m_χ\sim m_Z/2\sim 45$ GeV and $m_χ\sim m_h/2\sim 62$ GeV can have the thermal relic abundance $Ω_{χ_1}h^2\simeq 0.120$ via the $Z$- and Higgs-resonant annihilations, respectively, while avoiding all the current constraints. Phenomenology of such scenarios is determined only by three parameters, Bino mass $M_1$, Higgsino mass $μ$, and $\tanβ$, in the limit that all other supersymmetric particles and heavy Higgs bosons are decoupled. In this paper, we comprehensively study the constraints and future prospects of the search for such Higgs- and $Z$-resonant neutralino dark matter. It is shown that almost all the parameter space of the scenario will be probed complementarily by the LHC search for the chargino and neutralinos, the direct detection experiments, and the Higgs invisible decay search at the ILC.

description: Time-Delay Cosmography is a technique for measuring $H_0$ with strong gravitational lensing. It requires a correction for line of sight perturbations, and it is necessary to build tools to assess populations of these lines of sight efficiently. We aim demonstrate the techniques necessary to analyze line of sight effects at a population level, and investigate whether strong lenses fall in preferably overdense environments. We analyze a set of 25 galaxy-galaxy lens lines of sight in the Strong Lensing Legacy Survey sample using standard techniques, then perform a hierarchical analysis to constrain the population-level parameters. We introduce a new statistical model for these posteriors that may provide insight into the underlying physics of the system. We find the median value of $κ_{\rm{ext}}$ in the population model to be $0.033 \pm 0.010$. The median value of $κ_{\rm{ext}}$ for the individual lens posteriors is $0.008 \pm 0.015$. Both approaches demostrate that our systems are drawn from an overdense sample. The different results from these two approaches show the importance of population models that do not multiply the effect of our priors.

description: The recently synthesized ternary quasi-2D material TaRhTe$_4$ is a bulk Weyl semimetal with an intrinsically layered structure, which poses the question how the topology of its electronic structure depends on layers separations. Experimentally these separations may be changed for instance by intercalation of the bulk, or by exfoliation to reach monolayer or few-layer structures. Here we show that in the monolayer limit a quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) state emerges, employing density functional calculations as well as a minimal four-orbital tight-binding model that we develop. Even for weak spin-orbit couplings the QSHI is present, which has an interesting edge state that features Rashba-split bands with quadratic band minima. Further we find that a weak topological insulator (WTI) manifests in the bilayer system due to sizable intralayer hopping, contrary to the common lore that only weak interlayer interactions between stacked QSHIs lead to WTIs. Stacked bilayers give rise to a phase diagram as function of the interlayer separation that comprises a Weyl semimetal, WTI and normal insulator phases. These insights on the evolution of topology with dimension can be transferred to the family of layered ternary transition metal tellurides.

description: Facial expressions and body language lie at the heart of the way we convey the emotional content of our interactions. The degree to which these aspects are negated in online learning environments is currently a point of debate in the field. In Fully Online Learning Community (FOLC) based programs, the closeness that students report (Childs, vanOostveen, Clarkson & Flynn, 2015) is proposed to be the result of a combination of: (a) the use of synchronous video/audio; (b) decreased transactional distance (Moore, 1993); and (c) the types of interactions that are cultivated in the online environments used in FOLC-based programs. This presentation will report out on the initial findings from an investigation that examined an aspect of social presence, specifically the role of facial expressions, body language and words in supporting a collaborative online environment that fostered closeness and addressed the “dialog” component of transactional distance in FOLC-based programs. After taking part in this session, it is expected that the audience will be better able to: (1) discuss the role of synchronous experiences in online courses and programs; (2) appreciate how a FOLC-based program can be created, and (3) reflect on the implications for students and educators of using synchronous tools to foster online collaboration and connections.

description: We discuss how to reveal the massive Goldstone mode, often referred to as the Higgs amplitude mode, near the Superfluid-to-Insulator quantum critical point (QCP) in a system of two-dimensional ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices. The spectral function of the amplitude response is obtained by analytic continuation of the kinetic energy correlation function calculated by Monte Carlo methods. Our results enable a direct comparison with the recent experiment [M. Endres, T. Fukuhara, D. Pekker, M. Cheneau, P. Schauß, C. Gross, E. Demler, S. Kuhr, and I. Bloch, Nature 487, 454-458 (2012)], and demonstrate a good agreement for temperature shifts induced by lattice modulation. Based on our numerical analysis, we formulate the necessary conditions in terms of homogeneity, detuning from the QCP and temperature in order to reveal the massive Goldstone resonance peak in spectral functions experimentally. We also propose to apply a local modulation at the trap center to overcome the inhomogeneous broadening caused by the parabolic trap confinement.

description: In an attempt to describe the nature of recent journal literature revolving around the eleven core values of librarianship, as articulated by the American Library Association, this exploratory study analyzed 114 articles from four peer-reviewed library publications over the past five years (2002-2006): College & Research Libraries, Library Trends, Library Quarterly, and portal: Libraries and the Academy. This content analysis noted the levels of complexity with which the core values were discussed, the frequencies of the eleven core values (access, confidentiality/privacy, democracy, diversity, education and lifelong learning, intellectual freedom, preservation, public good, professionalism, service, and social responsibility), and the types of library environments found in the journal literature. The results are intended as a catalyst for the library profession to examine the way it discusses core values and uses them to guide and inform professional practice.

description: The "defect" of a curve over a finite field is the difference between the number of rational points on the curve and the Weil-Serre bound for the curve. We present a construction for producing genus-4 double covers of genus-2 curves over finite fields such that the defect of the double cover is not much more than the defect of the genus-2 curve. We give an algorithm that uses this construction to produce genus-4 curves with small defect. Heuristically, for all sufficiently large primes and for almost all prime powers q, the algorithm is expected to produce a genus-4 curve over F_q with defect at most 4 in time q^{3/4}, up to logarithmic factors. As part of the analysis of the algorithm, we present a reinterpretation of results of Hayashida on the number of genus-2 curves whose Jacobians are isomorphic to the square of a given elliptic curve with complex multiplication by a maximal order. We show that a category of principal polarizations on the square of such an elliptic curve is equivalent to a category of right ideals in a certain quaternion order.

description: Program mapping (PM) provides a method to examine curriculum alignment, the assessment of learning outcomes, and to determine if program goals are aligned to learning activities and assessments. At a higher education institution in Western Canada, the Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies (CTET) provides support to academic units using PM techniques to determine how learning outcomes are being implemented. The School of Education and Technology partnered with CTET to examine how to implement learning outcomes in a meaningful way for students and faculty and how to utilize program mapping as a means to evaluate success. To inform this work, a meta-synthesis research project was undertaken. Four main themes were identified in the literature: (1) faculty/student engagement; (2) organizational culture; (3) constraints, and (4) intentional process. Examples of a PM approach are shared and the implications for students and faculty of moving to outcomes-based learning approaches are discussed.

description: We leverage random phase approximation and unbiased auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo methods to compute dynamical correlations for a dilute homogeneous two-dimensional attractive Fermi gas. Our main purpose is to quantitatively study the collective excitations of the system to generate robust benchmark results and to shed light into fermionic superfluidity in the strongly correlated regime. In particular we are motivated by a recent paper suggesting that the Higgs mode can be detected in the spectrum of spin fluctuations. Despite the fact that we are somewhat limited by finite-size effects, our study pinpoints indeed a clear peak in the spin channel at low momentum, but a detailed analysis suggests that such a peak, though certainly interesting, does not correspond to the Higgs mode. We propose a different explanation for the shape of the spin structure factor. On the other hand, our results clearly show that the Higgs mode can be detected in the density channel at very small wave vectors, although very good resolution is necessary.

description: The peculiar features of quantum magnetism sometimes forbid the existence of gapped `featureless' paramagnets which are fully symmetric and unfractionalized. The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem is an example of such a constraint, but it is not known what the most general restriction might be. We focus on the existence of featureless paramagnets on the spin-1 square lattice and the spin-1 and spin-1/2 honeycomb lattice with spin rotation and space group symmetries in 2+1D. Although featureless paramagnet phases are not ruled out by any existing theorem, field theoretic arguments disfavor their existence. Nevertheless, by generalizing the construction of Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb and Tasaki to a class we call `slave-spin' states, we propose featureless wave functions for these models. The featureless-ness of the spin-1 slave-spin states on the square and honeycomb lattice are verified both analytically and numerically, but the status of the spin-1/2 honeycomb state remains unclear.

description: Large-scale digital quantum simulations require thousands of fundamental entangling gates to construct the simulated dynamics. Despite success in a variety of small-scale simulations, quantum information processing platforms have hitherto failed to demonstrate the combination of precise control and scalability required to systematically outmatch classical simulators. We analyse how fast gates could enable trapped-ion quantum processors to achieve the requisite scalability to outperform classical computers without error correction. We analyze the performance of a large-scale digital simulator, and find that fidelity of around 70% is realizable for pi-pulse infidelities below $10^{-5}$ in traps subject to realistic rates of heating and dephasing. This scalability relies on fast gates: entangling gates faster than the trap period.

description: The $N = 28$ shell gap in sulfur, argon, calcium and titanium isotopes is investigated in the framework of relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory. The evolutions of neutron shell gap, separation energy, single particle energy and pairing energy are analyzed, and it is found that $N = 28$ shell gap is quenched in sulfur isotopes but persists in argon, calcium and titanium isotopes. The evolution of $N = 28$ shell gap in $N = 28$ isotonic chain is discussed, and the erosion of $N = 28$ shell gap is understood with the evolution of potential with proton number.

Workplace identity management issues of Lesbian and Bisexual Librarians

Librarians--Social aspects

description: The notion that work should be an asexual environment and the inability of the general public to take the sex out of homosexual, means the act of coming out at work is perceived as being about sex rather than about honesty, integrity, equality and respect among coworkers. The paradox then, for lesbian librarians, is this: to bring issues of sexual orientation to light in the workplace opens one up to severe scrutiny on both a personal and institutional level, possibly jeopardizing one's job security or professional advancement. To remain silent on issues of sexual orientation is to perpetuate heterosexist assumptions in the workplace and to enable the status quo. Librarians must evaluate this paradox and the consequent priorities surrounding identity management in the workplace. How does being a librarian positively or negatively affect the identity management of lesbian and bisexual employees? The working hypothesis is that as librarians, lesbian and bisexual women may have higher success and satisfaction in the management of sexual identity in the workplace than women in other professions. The hypothesis is based on consideration of the historical and social aspects of the library as a place of work, the intellectual ideals held as professional standards and the composition of people who choose careers as librarians.

Performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

description: The operation and performance of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) are presented, based on data collected in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the CERN LHC, in the years from 2015 to 2018 (LHC Run 2), corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 151 fb$^{-1}$. The CMS ECAL is a scintillating lead-tungstate crystal calorimeter, with a silicon strip preshower detector in the forward region that provides precise measurements of the energy and the time-of-arrival of electrons and photons. The successful operation of the ECAL is crucial for a broad range of physics goals, ranging from observing the Higgs boson and measuring its properties, to other standard model measurements and searches for new phenomena. Precise calibration, alignment, and monitoring of the ECAL response are important ingredients to achieve these goals. To face the challenges posed by the higher luminosity, which characterized the operation of the LHC in Run 2, the procedures established during the 2011-2012 run of the LHC have been revisited and new methods have been developed for the energy measurement and for the ECAL calibration. The energy resolution of the calorimeter, for electrons from Z boson decays reaching the ECAL without significant loss of energy by bremsstrahlung, was better than 1.8%, 3.0%, and 4.5% in the $\lvertη\rvert$ intervals [0.0, 0.8], [0.8, 1.5], [1.5, 2.5], respectively. This resulting performance is similar to that achieved during Run 1 in 2011-2012, in spite of the more severe running conditions.

Many-hypercube codes: High-rate quantum error-correcting codes for high-performance fault-tolerant quantum computing
Creators: name: Goto, Hayato
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024

description: Standard approaches to quantum error correction for fault-tolerant quantum computing are based on encoding a single logical qubit into many physical ones, resulting in asymptotically zero encoding rates and therefore huge resource overheads. To overcome this issue, high-rate quantum codes, such as quantum low-density parity-check codes, have been studied over the past decade. In this case, however, it is difficult to perform logical gates in parallel while maintaining low overheads. Here we propose concatenated high-rate small-size quantum error-detecting codes as a new family of high-rate quantum codes. Their simple structure allows for a geometrical interpretation using hypercubes corresponding to logical qubits. We thus call them many-hypercube codes. They can realize both high rates, e.g., 30% (64 logical qubits are encoded into 216 physical ones), and parallelizability of logical gates. Developing dedicated decoder and encoders, we achieve high error thresholds even in a circuit-level noise model. Thus, the many-hypercube codes will pave the way to high-performance fault-tolerant quantum computing.
