description: We use XMM-Newton data to carry out a detailed study of the Si, Fe and Ni abundances in the cool cores of a representative sample of 26 local clusters. We have performed a careful evaluation of the systematic uncertainties related to the instruments, the plasma codes and the spectral modeling finding that the major source of uncertainty is in the plasma codes. Our Si, Fe, Ni, Si/Fe and Ni/Fe distributions feature only moderate spreads (from 20% to 30%) around their mean values strongly suggesting similar enrichment processes at work in all our cluster cores. Our sample averaged Si/Fe ratio is comparable to those measured in samples of groups and high luminosity ellipticals implying that the enrichment process in ellipticals, dominant galaxies in groups and BCGs in clusters is quite similar. Although our Si/Fe and Ni/Fe abundance ratios are fairly well constrained, the large uncertainties in the supernovae yields prevent us from making a firm assessment of the relative contribution of type Ia and core-collapsed supernovae to the enrichment process. All that can really be said with some certainty is that both contribute to the enrichment of cluster cores.

description: W generalize the scheme for detection of qubit-environment entanglement to qudit-environment systems. This is of relevance for many-qubit systems and the quantification of the operation of quantum algorithms under the influence of external noise, since only decoherence that is not entangling in its nature can be effectively described by quantum channels and similar methods in more complicated scenarios. The generalization involves an increase of the class of entangled states which are not detected by the scheme, but the type of entanglement which cannot be detected is also least likely to qualitatively influence decoherence. We exemplify the operation of the scheme on a realistically modelled NV-center spin qutrit interacting with an environment of nuclear spins.

Shifting the Perspectives: Collecting Stories of Post-extractive F*utures in a Mining Town
Creators: name: Reisinger, Karin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description:  

The shrinking town of Eisenerz lies at the foot of the Erzberg mountain, Austria’s largest and best-known site of extraction of iron ore. The post-industrial town is experiencing a rural exodus, which concerns women in particular. Mining is predominantly narrated in male, heroic narratives, while counter-narratives of repair, care, reproduction and maintenance are mostly overlooked. 

Within this complex field, the citizen science project Post-extractive F*utures focuses on intersectional feminist perspectives on an area of extraction of minerals; it collects stories of care to broaden the perception of mining areas and strengthen the focus on feminist narrations for future perspectives. We ask: Which practices contribute to the continuance of the community? The project shows, discusses and negotiates the spatial practices of repair amid extraction with multiple actors. Therefore, we work with local associations and different age groups to reach diverse groups and profit from a lively environment of local associations. 

Thinking and knowing with the diverse actors and their, often surprising, practices, the citizen scientists shape the project on several levels: they collect and locate stories of practices, they research private archives, and they report and sometimes even organize. Processes of mutual learning take place in meetings and shared activities, and through the process of transformation into drawings by the East Styrian artist Roswitha Weingrill. The collected knowledge will contribute to creating imaginations of future stories of a liveable community. With the help of artistic methods, these will be illustrated and made accessible in public discussions and impact local politics. The short presentation will also address questions of ethics and giving back to the community we learned from.

description: The decoy-state method in quantum key distribution (QKD) is a popular technique to approximately achieve the performance of ideal single-photon sources by means of simpler and practical laser sources. In high-speed decoy-state QKD systems, however, intensity correlations between succeeding pulses leak information about the users' intensity settings, thus invalidating a key assumption of this approach. Here, we solve this pressing problem by developing a general technique to incorporate arbitrary intensity correlations to the security analysis of decoy-state QKD. This technique only requires to experimentally quantify two main parameters: the correlation range and the maximum relative deviation between the selected and the actually emitted intensities. As a side contribution, we provide a non-standard derivation of the asymptotic secret key rate formula from the non-asymptotic one, in so revealing a necessary condition for the significance of the former.

description: A systematic review of transition literature was conducted on 743 articles published in 22 special education journals from 1990 to 2015. Demographic data and topics of transition-related articles were coded to identify the trends in transition literature. Results found only 4.1% of articles in those journals focused on transition. Student participants were primarily White males with a specific learning disability or intellectual disability. Key topics of transition (e.g., self-determination, transition planning) were supported by several studies in the literature. Yet, crucial topics (e.g., transportation skills, interagency collaboration) contained little research support. A summary of the current trends in transition research and implications for future research are discussed.

description: We investigate the two components of the total daily return (close-to-close), the overnight return (close-to-open) and the daytime return (open-to-close), as well as the corresponding volatilities of the 2215 NYSE stocks from 1988 to 2007. The tail distribution of the volatility, the long-term memory in the sequence, and the cross-correlation between different returns are analyzed. Our results suggest that: (i) The two component returns and volatilities have similar features as that of the total return and volatility. The tail distribution follows a power law for all volatilities, and long-term correlations exist in the volatility sequences but not in the return sequences. (ii) The daytime return contributes more to the total return. Both the tail distribution and the long-term memory of the daytime volatility are more similar to that of the total volatility, compared to the overnight records. In addition, the cross-correlation between the daytime return and the total return is also stronger. (iii) The two component returns tend to be anti-correlated. Moreover, we find that the cross-correlations between the three different returns (total, overnight, and daytime) are quite stable over the entire 20-year period.

description: We study the network pricing problem where the leader maximizes their revenue by determining the optimal amounts of tolls to charge on a set of arcs, under the assumption that the followers will react rationally and choose the shortest paths to travel. Many distinct single-level reformulations to this bilevel optimization program have been proposed, however, their relationship has not been established. In this paper, we aim to build a connection between those reformulations and explore the combination of the path representation with various modeling options, allowing us to generate 12 different reformulations of the problem. Moreover, we propose a new path enumeration scheme, path-based preprocessing, and hybrid framework to further improve performance and robustness when solving the final model. We provide numerical results, comparing all the derived reformulations and confirming the efficiency of the novel dimensionality reduction procedures.

description: We present a simple yet powerful method to test models of cosmic-ray (CR) origin using the distribution of CR arrival directions. The method is statistically unambiguous in the sense that it is binless and does not invoke scanning over unknown parameters, and general in the sense that it can be applied to any model that predicts a continuous distribution of CRs over the sky. We show that it provides a powerful discrimination between an isotropic distribution and predictions from the "matter tracer" model, a benchmark model that assumes small CR deflections and a continuous distribution of sources tracing the distribution of matter in the Universe. Our method is competitive or superior in statistical power to existing methods, and is especially sensitive in the case of relatively few high-energy events. Applying the method to the present data we find that neither an isotropic distribution nor the matter tracer model can be excluded. Based on estimates of its statistical power, we expect that the proposed test will lead to meaningful constraints on models of CR origin with the data that will be accumulated within the next few years by the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array.

Peptide bond formation mechanism for understanding plausibility of in aquo emergence of metabolism
Creators: name: Herriman, James (Teddy)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Water chemistry is as fundamental to life today as it is enigmatic to understanding pre-biotic chemistry and the emergence of life. While water is useful for diffusion in modern biology, among other beneficial features, pre-biotic polymers, such as peptides are susceptible to hydrolysis. Within the astrobiology field, peptide bond condensation is often taken for granted when compared to the study of amino acid generation and the function of peptides in bulk water. In particular, "Emergence of Life” research considering deep-sea hydrothermal vents often conflate dipeptide with polypeptide formation. Furthermore, computational chemists have generated models for peptide bond formation that do not replicate experimental observables of these reactions. Because of this, those looking to test the comparative plausibility of various Emergence of Life hypotheses – by way of peptide bond formation – do not have a theoretical foundation of ambient, bulk aqueous conditions for further chemical consideration. Here, as a first step in formulation of a “goldilocks zone” for peptide bond formation, a reaction mechanism for condensation of two glycine molecules and the hydrolysis of the simplest dipeptide glycylglycine was discovered using density functional theory. This six-step mechanism quantitatively reproduces the measured hydrolysis activation energy of 96 kJ molˉ¹ within 10 kJ molˉ¹ under ambient, physiologically relevant conditions. Further, the mechanism provides a plausible explanation for the equilibrium nature of dipeptide formation of amino acids observed so far in aqueous environments. This knowledge also has the potential to further our understanding of peptide regulation in extant biology and generate experimentally testable hypotheses for the critical assessment of “Metabolism First” proposal for the origins of the biosphere on Earth.

description: The European Union has long pursued a full program of unification of the national rules on private international law. For the theoretical advantages of uniformity, created by “denazionalizing” the systematic of civil law, corresponds, howewer, a loss of meaning in terms of culture and legal values, at the expense of the identities and the political choices, that only in the national communities – in the absence of democratic processes at the European level – can still find ways of legitimate expression. Paper presented at the Conference “La dimension culturelle du droit international privé (Journée en l’honneur de Tito Ballarino)”, held on June 13, 2014 in Losanna, at the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law. L’Unione europea persegue da tempo un nutrito programma di uniformazione delle normative nazionali di diritto internazionale privato. Ai vantaggi teorici dell’uniformità, artificialmente creata denazionalizzando la sistematica del diritto civile, corrisponde tuttavia una perdita di senso in termini di cultura e di valori giuridici, a scapito delle identità e delle scelte politiche che solo nelle comunità nazionali – in assenza di processi autenticamente democratici a livello europeo – possono ancora trovare legittima espressione.

Transfer and teleportation of system-environment entanglement
Creators: name: Harlender, Tytus
name: Roszak, Katarzyna
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study bidirectional teleportation while explicitly taking into account an environment. This environment initially causes pure dephasing decoherence of the Bell state which assists teleportation. We find that when teleportation is performed in one direction it is accompanied by a transfer of correlations into the post-teleportation state of qubit $C$, which results in decoherence of the state. In the other direction, if no new decoherence process occurs, we find that not only the state of the qubit but also its correlations with an environment are being teleported with unit Fidelity. These processes do not depend on the measurement outcome during telportation and do not differentiate between classical and quantum correlations. If, on the other hand, the second teleportation step is preceded by decoherence of the Bell state then the situation is much more complicated. Teleportation and transfer of correlations occur simultaneously, yielding different teleported qubit-environment states for different measurement outcomes. These states can differ in the degree of coherence of the teleported qubit, but only for an entangling Bell-state-environment interaction in the first step of teleportation, can they have different amounts of qubit-environment entanglement. In the extreme case, one of the teleported qubit states can be entangled with the environment while the other is separable.
Entanglement of spin chains with general boundaries and of dissipative systems

description: We analyze the entanglement properties of spins (qubits) close to the boundary of spin chains in the vicinity of a quantum critical point and show that the concurrence at the boundary is significantly different from the one of bulk spins. We also discuss the von Neumann entropy of dissipative environments in the vicinity of a (boundary) critical point, such as two Ising-coupled Kondo-impurities or the dissipative two-level system. Our results indicate that the entanglement (concurrence and/or von Neumann entropy) changes abruptly at the point where coherent quantum oscillations cease to exist. The phase transition modifies significantly less the entanglement if no symmetry breaking field is applied and we argue that this might be a general property of the entanglement of dissipative systems. We finally analyze the entanglement of an harmonic chain between the two ends as function of the system size.

description: Recent experimental results have shown that vibro-fluidized, binary granular materials exhibit Rayleigh-Taylor-like instabilities that manifest themselves in rising plumes, rising bubbles and the sinking and splitting of granular droplets. This work explores the physics behind the splitting of a granular droplet that is composed of smaller and denser particles in a bed of larger and lighter particles. During its sinking motion, a granular droplet undergoes a series of binary splits resembling the fragmentation of a liquid droplet falling in a miscible fluid. However, different physical mechanisms cause a granular droplet to split. By applying particle-image-velocimetry and numerical simulations, we demonstrate that the droplet of high-density particles causes the formation of an immobilized zone underneath the droplet. This zone obstructs the downwards motion of the droplet and causes the droplet to spread and ultimately to split. The resulting fragments sink at inclined trajectories around the immobilized zone until another splitting event is initiated. The occurrence of consecutive splitting events is explained by the re-formation of an immobilized zone underneath the droplet fragments. Our investigations identified three requirements for a granular droplet to split: 1) frictional inter-particle contacts, 2) a higher density of the particles composing the granular droplet compared to the bulk particles and 3) and a minimal granular droplet diameter.

description: We propose to use a quantized version of coherent two-color photoassociation to realize a hybrid device for quantum control of light. The dynamical features of this system are exhibited, including the slowing down or storage of light and the molecular matter-wave solitons. This may indicate a hybrid atom-molecule quantum device for storage and retrieve of optical information.

description: The concept of the Catholic and Orthodox Church about civil marriage and different forms of heterosexual and homosexual unions is presented in this essay. In particular it highlights the difference between marriage as a contract-religious sacrament and civil marriage: it explains the current legislation on canonical celebration and shows the subjects to the same legislation. Then, it deals with the pastoral attitude of benevolent charity and tolerance towards different types of unions partners; the dissolution of marriage based on the principle of oiconomia in the Orthodox Churches; the different attitude towards those who celebrate civil marriage or live together in homosexual unions. In the end, the doubts in baptizing children of couples who, with their way of life, became separated from the Church, are expressed. Viene presentata la concezione della Chiesa cattolica ed ortodossa in merito al matrimonio civile e forme diverse di unioni eterosessuali e unioni omosessuali. In particolare viene evidenziata la differenza sostanziale tra matrimonio contratto-sacramento religioso e matrimonio civile: si espone la normativa vigente in tema di celebrazione canonica e si indicano i soggetti alla normativa stessa. Infine si tratta dell’ atteggiamento pastorale di benevola carità e comprensione verso i conviventi le diverse tipologie di unioni; dello scioglimento del matrimonio in base al principio dell’oiconomia nelle Chiese ortodosse; dell’opportuno diverso atteggiamento nei confronti di chi celebra il matrimonio civile o convive in unioni omosessuali; da ultimo si espongono le perplessità nel battezzare i minori di coppie che, con il loro modo di vita, si sono staccate di fatto dalla Chiesa.

description: Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas of magnons pumped by an incoherent pumping source is experimentally studied at room temperature. We demonstrate that the condensation can be achieved in a gas of bosons under conditions of incoherent pumping. Moreover, we show the critical transition point is almost independent of the frequency spectrum of the pumping source and is solely determined by the density of magnons. The electromagnetic power radiated by the magnon condensate was found to scale quadratically with the pumping power, which is in accordance with the theory of Bose-Einstein condensation in magnon gases.

description: About 2 million people in the Netherlands live with some form of rheumatism. A lot of research is done on drug-based care for people with rheumatism. In recent years there is a shift in thinking, where people are given more agency and there is more emphasis on self-management.

Self-management are actions and skills aimed at dealing with symptoms and consequences of the condition on well-being and societal participation. Self-management is not just about 'doing it yourself'. It is also about 'determining for yourself'. Out of necessity, many people start figuring out for themselves what can help them against symptoms.

There is no systematic or current picture of the experiences with their deployed self-management strategies. With our study, we wanted to give an overview of strategies, people's positive and negative experiences with them and what are promoting and hindering factors to take up these strategies. The resulting overview could change treatment and disease management for people with rheumatism by supporting them in their self-management.

The project took a participatory citizen science approach. The research group consists of about 5 researchers and 12 people with different types of rheumatism. The group decided on the relevance of the topic. After, they formulated the research question, and designed a survey that was distributed digitally to all people with rheumatism in the Netherlands. They drafted the data management plan together. In the analysis phase, the group discussed different frameworks that could be used for coding the data, and worked together in reporting and disseminating the results.

The project applied a strong collaboration between people with rheumatism and researchers, adding to the standard research process. By giving people agency in the decision-making process in the research, including what would be done with the collected data, people are taken serious and knowledge of both researchers and people with rheumatism is utilized.

description: We describe a canonical reduction of AKSZ-BV theories to the cohomology of the source manifold. We get a finite dimensional BV theory that describes the contribution of the zero modes to the full QFT. Integration can be defined and correlators can be computed. As an illustration of the general construction we consider two dimensional Poisson sigma model and three dimensional Courant sigma model. When the source manifold is compact, the reduced theory is a generalization of the AKSZ construction where we take as source the cohomology ring. We present the possible generalizations of the AKSZ theory.

Damping perturbation based time integration asymptotic method for structural dynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The light damping hypothesis is usually assumed in structural dynamics since dissipative forces are in general weak with respect to inertial and elastic forces. In this paper a novel numerical method of time integration based on the artificial perturbation of damping is proposed. The asymptotic expansion of the transient response results in an infinite series which can be summed, leading to a well-defined explicit iterative step-by-step scheme. Conditions for convergence are rigorously analyzed, enabling the determination of the methodology boundaries in form of maximum time step. The numerical properties of the iterative scheme, i.e. stability, accuracy and computational effort are also studied in detail. The approach is validated with two numerical examples, showing a high accuracy and computational efficiency relative to other methods.

description: Considering an analysis about the grounds of illegitimacy of the appeal to the ‘voting centers’ and the risks of ‘self-referentiality’ by the power groups in shareholders’ meeting (as confirmed by the Appellate Court of Brescia on January 13, 2000; the Supreme Court of Cassation on December 13, 2002, n. 17848; the Court of Milano on January 13, 1988 and the Supreme Court of Cassation on May 30, 2008 n. 14554), the essay discusses the postal and electronic voting system, in relation with the simultaneous voting. It also examines scope and limits of articles 2538 (relating to cooperative societies) and 2370 (concerning s.p.a.) of the Civil Code, in relation with Articles 125 ss. of the T.U.F. and the EU directives. Finally, all that should be considered in rebuttal to the judgment of the Court of Bologna (section for the enterprise), March 18, 2004, n. 899 (unpublished, but shown here for long segments), that chose an interpretation shared by the discipline of the two different corporate situations, which also appears untenable for reasons of unconstitutionality. Richiamata l’attenzione sui motivi di illegittimità del ricorso ai c.d. centri di voto e sui rischi dell’autoreferenzialità acquisita in tal modo dai gruppi di potere nelle decisioni assembleari (così come confermato da varia giurisprudenza: App. di Brescia 13 genn. 2000; Cass. 13 dic. 2002 n. 17848; Trib. di Milano 13 genn. 1988; Cass. 30 magg. 2008 n. 14554) si discute del voto per corrispondenza e del voto elettronico in rapporto al metodo collegiale, e della portata e limiti degli artt. 2538 c.c. (relativamente alle società cooperative) e 2370 c.c. (relativamente alle s.p.a.) in rapporto agli artt. 125 ss. TUF e alle direttive comunitarie. Ciò anche in confutazione della sentenza del Tribunale di Bologna (Sezione specializzata per l’impresa) 18 mar. 2014 n. 899 (inedita, ma qui riportata per ampi tratti), la quale ha adottato un’interpretazione che accomuna la disciplina delle due differenti situazioni societarie, che pure appare insostenibile anche sulla scorta di motivazioni di incostituzionalità.

Physical portrayal of computational complexity

description: Computational complexity is examined using the principle of increasing entropy. To consider computation as a physical process from an initial instance to the final acceptance is motivated because many natural processes have been recognized to complete in non-polynomial time (NP). The irreversible process with three or more degrees of freedom is found intractable because, in terms of physics, flows of energy are inseparable from their driving forces. In computational terms, when solving problems in the class NP, decisions will affect subsequently available sets of decisions. The state space of a non-deterministic finite automaton is evolving due to the computation itself hence it cannot be efficiently contracted using a deterministic finite automaton that will arrive at a solution in super-polynomial time. The solution of the NP problem itself is verifiable in polynomial time (P) because the corresponding state is stationary. Likewise the class P set of states does not depend on computational history hence it can be efficiently contracted to the accepting state by a deterministic sequence of dissipative transformations. Thus it is concluded that the class P set of states is inherently smaller than the set of class NP. Since the computational time to contract a given set is proportional to dissipation, the computational complexity class P is a subset of NP.
