description: The contributions for the kaon pair from the intermediate states $ρ(1450)^+$ and $ρ(1700)^+$ in the decays $B^+ \to \bar{D}^0 K^+ \bar{K}^0$, $B^0 \to D^- K^+ \bar{K}^0$, and $B_s^0 \to D_s^-K^+ \bar{K}^0$ are analyzed within the perturbative QCD factorization approach. The decay amplitudes for all concerned decays in this work are dominated by the factorizable Feynman diagrams with the emission of the kaon pair, and the charged $ρ$ mesons should be of great importance in the $KK$ channel of the related three-body $B$ decays. Moreover, these quasi-two-body decays are CKM-favored, and the relevant branching ratios are predicted to be in the order of $10^{-5}$, which have the potential to be measured by experiments. It is also shown that the contributions of the subprocesses $ρ(1450, 1700)^+ \to KK$ for the three-body $B$ meson decays are considerable according to the total three-body branching fractions presented by Belle. Therefore, the decays $B^+ \to \bar{D}^0 K^+ \bar{K}^0$, $B^0 \to D^- K^+ \bar{K}^0$, and $B_s^0 \to D_s^-K^+ \bar{K}^0$ can be employed to study the properties of $ρ(1450)$ and $ρ(1700)$ in the LHCb and Belle-II experiments.

description: Dark matter or violations of the Einstein equivalence principle influence the motion of atoms, their internal states as well as electromagnetic fields, thus causing a signature in the signal of atomic detectors. To model such new physics, we introduce dilaton fields and study the modified propagation of light used to manipulate atoms in light-pulse atom interferometers. Their interference signal is dominated by the matter's coupling to gravity and the dilaton. Even though the electromagnetic field contributes to the phase, no additional dilaton-dependent effect can be observed. However, the light's propagation in gravity enters via a modified momentum transfer and its finite speed. For illustration, we discuss effects from light propagation and the dilaton on different atom-interferometric setups, including gradiometers, equivalence principle tests, and dark matter detection.

description: Measuring the mass concentration (PM0.1) of ultrafine particles (UFPs; diameter less than 100 nm) continuously, automatically, and accurately poses a considerable challenge because of the typically low PM0.1 concentration levels and susceptibility to interference from larger particles during the measurement processes. Previous work has shown that PM0.1 has a strong and stable correlation with the number concentration of particles with diameter above 50 nm (N50). This suggests that the indirect measurement of PM0.1 might be possible by measuring N50. In this work, the feasibility of using a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) that measures PM0.1 by measuring N50 is examined. A water-based CPC was modified to measure N50 (CPC50). The CPC50’s ability to measure PM0.1 was then evaluated by comparing its measurements with the PM0.1 measurements of a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) in a suburban area. PM0.1 measured by the CPC50 was in good agreement with PM0.1 measured by the SMPS with a fractional bias (FBIAS) of 4% and a fractional error (FERROR) of 21% for hourly measurements. These findings indicate that a CPC50 could serve as a cheaper alternative to the SMPS, allowing for continuous and real-time measurement of PM0.1.

description: Lightning flashes are rare albeit hazardous events. Despite this scarcity, generalized additive models (GAMs) succeed in producing a climatology of lightning occurrence for the eastern Alps and surrounding lowlands at an unprecedented resolution of 1\,km$^2$ for each day of April through September with data from the ALDIS lightning location system. The GAM adds the effects of seasonality, jaggedness of the terrain, and seasonally varying effects of elevation and region, thus combining information from analysis cells sharing similar characteristics. The probability of a cloud-to-ground discharge over 1\,km$^2$ on a given day is typically less than 1\,\% with a rapid increase in spring, followed by a plateau and a gentler tapering-off in fall. Probabilities early are lower at high elevations but increase once their snow cover is gone. Regional patterns of lightning also vary with season with an overall southward shift later in the year but more complex details. Grid cells with jagged topography have a higher probability of lightning.

description: The efficient delivery of nicotine in e-cigarette aerosols depends on the deposition efficiency of these aerosols within the respiratory tract. Accurate prediction of the hygroscopic growth of e-cigarette aerosols is pivotal to understanding their deposition. This study introduces a novel experimental approach to quantify the water activity coefficient, which is a crucial parameter governing the extent of hygroscopic growth in e-cigarette aerosols. Propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) are the primary components of e-liquid so that are used as the experimental subjects. Our findings reveal intriguing trends in the behavior of PG and VG mixtures. As relative humidity (RH) increases, these mixtures exhibit elevated equilibrium mass fractions of water accompanied by a decrease in water activity coefficients. Moreover, higher initial PG/VG mass ratios lead to decreased mass fractions of water and increased water activity coefficients. Notably, solution pH also impacts water activity coefficients, with higher pH levels corresponding to increased coefficients. The results reveal the factors which can affect the hygroscopic growth of e-cigarette aerosols, thus contributing to the understanding of the deposition of such aerosols within the respiratory tract. Moreover, the experimental apparatus proposed in this study provides a straightforward and reliable method to obtain hygroscopic parameters of multicomponent solutions.

Second order chiral phase transition in three flavor quantum chromodynamics?

description: We calculate the renormalization group flows of all perturbatively renormalizable interactions in the three-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau potential for the chiral phase transition of three-flavor quantum chromodynamics. On the contrary to the common belief we find a fixed point in the system that is able to describe a second-order phase transition in the infrared. This shows that long-standing assumptions on the transition order might be false. If the transition is indeed of second-order, our results may hint that the axial $U(1)$ symmetry restores at the transition temperature.

description: Citizens in rural Kenya are collecting data and field mapping projects they've helped to choose through a local government participatory budgeting process. This talk will share how Map Kibera and GroundTruth Initiative recently used OpenStreetMap and ODK/Kobo to give citizens the tools to collect not only locations and data on projects, but also provide their opinion and assessment of the completion status and quality. Doing this jointly with local county governments has unearthed some major data management challenges. Systems are being set up new for governments created only 10 years ago by a new constitution, and flashy tech is mixed with messy paper records, creating a difficult data environment. However, it's also an opportunity for open data and citizen involvement in transparent governance. I will get into the details of the current policy, politics, and geospatial data environment in Kenya with a focus on how citizens have been included and excluded from the process to date and how we see things moving forward.
On evaporation kinetics of multicomponent aerosols: Characteristic times and implications for volatility measurements

description: This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the evaporation of individual compounds from an aerosol in vapor-free conditions, demonstrating that the evaporation of mixture components is interconnected via the ratio of their characteristic times. These characteristic times are proportional to the square of the initial particle diameter and inversely proportional to the compound saturation vapor concentration (SVC). A single ordinary differential equation (ODE) can adequately describe the behavior of all mixture components. It is shown that the time needed to evaporate a specific compound fraction is primarily controlled by the compound’s characteristic time, with lesser influences from compound abundance in the mixture and the amount of less volatile material. Consequently, the relative abundance of individual compounds has a minor effect on evaporation. Compounds evaporate in the reverse order of their SVC, with the time required to evaporate 50% of their original mass being roughly half of their characteristic time. The reduction in ODEs provides significant computational benefits. Additional simplifications are derived that further accelerate calculations by two orders of magnitude while maintaining accuracy. The theory can guide experimental design for aerosol volatility measurements and demonstrate that a unique volatility basis set (VBS) can be fit to experimental data if the number of observations equals at least the number of volatility bins minus one. However, assumptions regarding parameters used for VBS fitting can result in ambiguity in the derived VBS, making it essential to use the same parameters for modeling evaporation as those used to derive the VBS from experimental data.

description: We study linear perturbations about static and spherically symmetric black holes with a time-independent background scalar field in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories, whose Lagrangian is characterized by coupling functions depending only on the kinetic term of the scalar field $X$. We clarify conditions for the absence of ghosts and Laplacian instabilities along the radial and angular directions in both odd- and even-parity perturbations. For reflection-symmetric theories described by a k-essence Lagrangian and a nonminimal derivative coupling with the Ricci scalar, we show that black holes endowed with nontrivial scalar hair are unstable around the horizon in general. This includes nonasymptotically flat black holes known to exist when the nonminimal derivative coupling to the Ricci scalar is a linear function of $X$. We also investigate several black hole solutions in nonreflection-symmetric theories. For cubic Galileons with the Einstein-Hilbert term, there exists a nonasymptotically flat hairy black hole with no ghosts/Laplacian instabilities. Also, for the scalar field linearly coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term, asymptotically flat black hole solutions constructed perturbatively with respect to a small coupling are free of ghosts/Laplacian instabilities.

description: Atmospheric aerosol particles can impact the optical depth of mixed-phase clouds through heterogeneous ice nucleation. Ice nucleating particles (INP) are therefore important contributors to global and local climate but remain under-parameterized in climate models, partially due to the complex interaction between composition and processing conditions. In this article, we study the ice nucleation (IN) activity of montmorillonite bentonite clay which is a common model dust INP, utilizing a 150-well microfluidic device. Refreezing tests are carried out for solutions across a range of salinity and pH to determine the impact of composition and processing on droplet freezing behavior, with and without an intermediate relative humidity (RH) cycling step. It is found that freezing order deviation dramatically increases after droplets undergo RH cycling, and the potential influence on IN activity of delamination of clay when subjected to changing RH conditions is discussed. Freezing order deviation decreases with increasing solution ionic strength, a trend linked to the delamination behavior of bentonite clays, and an overall decrease in IN activity at low pH is observed, possibly due in part to pH-dependent changes in clay aggregate size distribution. The authors conclude that pH changes and RH processing, such as those which naturally occur in the atmosphere, have a marked impact on the IN activity of clay-containing aerosol droplets.

description: Key Findings -167,000 – 300,000 hectares of forest are lost every year in Zambia, and different polices are in place or have been proposed to contain forest loss. But, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of these policies. -We conducted framed field experiments with actual forest users to test ex-ante the impacts of community forest management, command and control, and payments for environmental services on forest conservation in Zambia. -Relative to open access, community forest management and payments for environmental services to individuals led to more forest conservation, implying that both monetary and non-monetary motives matter for forest conservation. -Forest reliance, measured by whether the participants sold any forest product in the month preceding the survey, significantly increased harvest in the experiment. -Female participants had significantly higher harvest rates than males. This result runs counter to assertions suggesting that females are more pro-conservation. -These results imply that better conservation outcomes might be achieved by some combinations of community forest management and individual payments for environmental services, provided the transaction costs can be kept at acceptable levels. -Thus, Zambia’s community forestry management will need to provide individual households with clear material benefits in order to compensate for the loss from reduced forest use.

description: Understanding the explosion mechanism of a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) is important to accurately model CCSN scenarios for different progenitor stars using model-observation comparisons. The uncertainties of various nuclear reaction rates relevant for CCSN scenarios strongly affect the accuracy of these stellar models. Out of these reactions, the $^{13}$N($α$,$p$)$^{16}$O reaction has been found to affect various stages of a CCSN at varying temperatures. This work presents the first direct measurement of the $^{13}$N($α$,$p$)$^{16}$O reaction performed using a 34.6 MeV beam of radioactive $^{13}$N ions and the active-target detector MUSIC (MUlti-Sampling Ionization Chamber) at Argonne National Laboratory. The resulting total $^{13}$N($α$,$p$)$^{16}$O reaction cross sections from this measurement in the center-of-mass energy range of 3.26 - 6.02 MeV are presented and compared with calculations using the Hauser-Feshbach formalism. Uncertainties in the reaction rate have been dramatically reduced at CCSN temperatures.

Subjects: subject: Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science (cs.CE)

description: This paper provides a simple, compact and efficient 90-line pedagogical MATLAB code for topology optimization using hexagonal elements (honeycomb tessellation). Hexagonal elements provide nonsingular connectivity between two juxtaposed elements and, thus, subdue checkerboard patterns and point connections inherently from the optimized designs. A novel approach to generate honeycomb tessellation is proposed. The element connectivity matrix and corresponding nodal coordinates array are determined in 5 (7) and 4 (6) lines, respectively. Two additional lines for the meshgrid generation are required for an even number of elements in the vertical direction. The code takes a fraction of a second to generate meshgrid information for the millions of hexagonal elements. Wachspress shape functions are employed for the finite element analysis, and compliance minimization is performed using the optimality criteria method. The provided Matlab code and its extensions are explained in detail. Options to run the optimization with and without filtering techniques are provided. Steps to include different boundary conditions, multiple load cases, active and passive regions, and a Heaviside projection filter are also discussed. The code is provided in Appendix~A, and it can also be downloaded along with supplementary materials from \url{https://github.com/PrabhatIn/HoneyTop90}.

description: General relativity dynamics can be derived from different actions -- which depart from the Einstein-Hilbert action in boundary terms -- and for different choices of the dynamical variables. Among them, the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity is a torsion-based theory for the tetrad field. More general torsion-based theories have been built in the last years, intending to supersede general relativity. There are two current ways to formulate such theories; one includes a spin-connection and the other does not. We discuss the notion of Lorentz gauge invariance in such theories, and give a simple but important proof that both formulations are physically equivalent.

description: This deliverable describes the first release of the SSHOC Training Toolkit which was launched on April 20th 1
 2020 . The Toolkit consists of an inventory of various learning and training materials that trainers in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) can use to develop and improve their own training activities. The Toolkit at the time of the launch listed over 70 materials from 41 different sources in various formats, such as slides, modules, videos, games and other items. Materials cover a range of topics including Research Data Management, FAIR data, text encoding, Open Science, and quantitative analysis, as well as didactics for better development and implementation of training activities Information about these train-the-trainer materials was collected and are displayed using a dedicated drupal- based application that was already utilized for the inventory of existing training materials described in D6.7 Inventory of existing learning materials (Ďurčo, Illmayer & Barbot, 2019). The Toolkit will be further developed in collaboration with the SSHOC Training Community and presented and evaluated during the SSHOC Train-the-Trainer Bootcamps. Note on the terminology While the original title of the toolkit mentioned in the grant proposal and agreement was “SSHOC Train-the- Trainer Toolkit” rather than “SSHOC Training Toolkit”, the task team has decided to adapt the name to “SSHOC Training Toolkit” as it more accurately describes the content of the toolkit and its use. The Toolkit is directed at SSH trainers, but next to train-the-trainer materials, the toolkit also contains information on other learning and training materials available for the SSH community. The development of the toolkit was based on an already performed inventory for SSH learning materials (D6.7) and it was felt that the collected information was of use to SSH trainers and the SSH community as well. Therefore, it was decided to adjust the name of the toolkit to better reflect its content and potential use. The term “SSHOC Training Toolkit” is hence used in the deliverable names and in the SSHOC online communication.

description: Pathogens can be collected from air and detected in samples by many methods. However, merely detecting pathogens does not answer whether they can spread disease. To fully assess health risks from exposure to airborne pathogens, the infectivity of those agents must be assessed. Air samplers which operate by growing particles through water vapor condensation and subsequently collecting them into a liquid medium have proven effective at conserving the viability of microorganisms. We present a study that assessed performance improvement of one such sampler, BioSpot-GEM™, gained by augmenting it with an upstream virtual impactor (VI) designed to concentrate particles in aerosols. We demonstrate that such an integrated unit improved the collection of live Escherichia coli by a median Concentration Factor (CF) of 1.59 and increased the recovery of viable human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV OC43) by a median CF of 12.7 as compared to the sampler without the VI. Our results also show that OC43 can be concentrated in this way without significant loss of infectivity. We further present that the small BioSpot-GEM™ bioaerosol sampler can collect live E. coli at an efficiency comparable to the larger BioSpot-VIVAS™ bioaerosol sampler. Our analyses show potential benefits toward improving the collection of viable pathogens from the air using a more portable water-based condensation air sampler while also highlighting challenges associated with using a VI with concentrated bioaerosols. This work can aid further investigation of VI usage to improve the collection of pathogens from air, ultimately to better characterize health risks associated with airborne pathogen exposures.

description: The annotation of disease severity for medical image datasets often relies on collaborative decisions from multiple human graders. The intra-observer variability derived from individual differences always persists in this process, yet the influence is often underestimated. In this paper, we cast the intra-observer variability as an uncertainty problem and incorporate the label uncertainty information as guidance into the disease screening model to improve the final decision. The main idea is dividing the images into simple and hard cases by uncertainty information, and then developing a multi-stream network to deal with different cases separately. Particularly, for hard cases, we strengthen the network's capacity in capturing the correct disease features and resisting the interference of uncertainty. Experiments on a fundus image-based glaucoma screening case study show that the proposed model outperforms several baselines, especially in screening hard cases.

description:  

Halophiles are microorganisms that survive in high-salt environments, such as salt flats and saline lakes, due to their ability to regulate osmotic pressure and adapt their cellular machinery. These organisms, found across the Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya domains, have captivated scientific interest for their extreme survival mechanisms. They are categorized by their salt tolerance levels, ranging from slight to extreme halophiles, and are studied through specialized methods such as culturing, molecular techniques, and proteomics. Halophiles have promising applications in biotechnology, bioremediation, and astrobiology, as they produce extremozymes and other compounds that maintain stability in saline conditions. Case studies on specific halophiles like Halobacterium salinarum and Haloferax mediterranei highlight their potential in areas like bioplastic production and enzyme production. As research advances, the unique properties of halophiles offer valuable insights and applications across various scientific and industrial fields.

description: Here we present a high repetition rate, narrow band-width, extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photon source for time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES). The narrow band width pulses $ΔE=9, 14, 18$ meV for photon energies $hν=10.8, 18.1, 25.3$ eV are generated through High Harmonic Generation (HHG) using ultra-violet (UV) drive pulses with relatively long pulse lengths (461 fs). The HHG setup employs an annuluar drive beam in a tight focusing geometry at a repetition rate of 250 kHz. Photon energy selection is provided by a series of selectable multilayer bandpass mirrors and thin film filters, thus avoiding any time broadening introduced by single grating monochromators. A two stage optical-parametric amplifier provides $< 100$ fs tunable pump pulses from 0.65 $μ$m to 9 $μ$m. The narrow bandwidth performance of the light source is demonstrated through ARPES measurements on a series of quantum materials including the high-temperature superconductor Bi-2212, WSe$_2$ and graphene.

description: The ever increasing rates of data transmission around the globe drive conventional electronic computer chips for information processing towards their limits [1, 2]. New concepts are required, capable of providing fast and broadband signal processing while keeping costs and energy consumption at a minimum. Indeed, optical chips constitute a good solution to this problem but suffer from size restrictions as their device features need to be larger than the wavelength of light. Photonic-plasmonic hybrid systems constitute a viable alternative to overcome this obstacle, consisting of low-loss dielectric transmission lines interlinked with compact plasmonic devices capable of communicating with electronic transistors. In these devices, efficient energy conversion from the microscopic optical domain to the nanoscopic electronic domain is key to render next generation computing platforms possible. Hence, this work examines low-loss conversion from the photonic to the plasmonic regime which allows to focus light below its diffraction limit by coupling directly to collectively oscillating electron distributions, called surface plasmons. Here, a Si-compatible nanofocusing platform is investigated, which enables to produce large field intensities in tens of nm3 volumes and allows to direct energy into and out-of sub-wavelength scaled plasmonic waveguides. For the first time, an incoupling efficiency exceeding 80% is demonstrated. Furthermore, efficient nano-de-focusing is successfully exploited for the first time to enhance photoluminescence of Er3+-ion emitters placed in a HGPW geometry. This constitutes a promising approach for room-temperature single-photon emission and on-chip signal processing as Er3+ emits at telecommunications wavelength. Closely related to on-chip signal processing is opto-electronic sensing and light detection. However, solid state sensors are generally bandgap energy limited. Here, we investigate hotcarrier Schottky barrier junctions which work via carrier excitation at a metal/semiconductor interface with sufficient energy to surpass a Schottky barrier (SB) while not being limited by the bandgap. The successful implementation of a self-powered, Si-compatible hotcarrier infrared SB detector is demonstrated. Titanium nitride is used which strongly boost the response, originating in a thin TiO2−x interlayer as demonstrated for the first time.

description: Among all the solid materials studied so far, magnesium is an attractive possibility to store hydrogen by virtue of its high hydrogen capacity of 7.6 wt %, abundance and low cost. However, magnesium hydride presents many disadvantages as its high thermodynamic stability and slow desorption kinetics, which makes this material not appropriate for practical applications [1]. These constraints can be improved by combining magnesium with a transition metal and the reduction of the grain size of the material at nanometer scale [2]. In previous works [3, 4] we showed that the hydrogen storage properties of Mg can be improved by combining it with Fe in a 2Mg – Fe stoichiometric proportion. After studying different Mg – Fe compositions, we then found that a material with a 15Mg – Fe composition presents better hydrogen storage capacity than the other tested Mg – Fe compositions and
 good kinetics (unpublished results).
 In this work we study the effects of different synthesis procedures on the characteristics of the 15Mg – Fe material. The synthesis procedures employed consist basically on the mechanical milling of the material in argon atmosphere. The milling process is carried out in a high energy mill (Fritsch Planetary Mill) and in a low energy mill (Magneto Uni – Ball – Mill). From the application of two different milling processes we obtain intimate mixtures of 15Mg – Fe powders with characteristic microstructural properties. After the mechanical milling, the materials are subjected to hydrogen absorption at high temperature and pressure in order to obtain a hydride compound. The microstructural properties of the as – milled 15Mg – Fe mixtures obtained from two different milling modes are analyzed. Moreover, it is also performed a study of the hydrogen storage characteristics at different temperatures and pressures, i.e. capacity, absorption and desorption rates, cycling stability and thermodynamics, of the synthesized materials.

description: The phonon renormalization across the semiconductor-to-metal crossover in FeSi is investigated by inelastic neutron scattering combined with \textit{ab-initio} lattice dynamical calculations. A significant part of reciprocal space with a particular focus on the 110$-$001 scattering plane is mapped by the time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering data taken below and above the crossover. Individual momentum values are investigated in more detail as a function of temperature. The data reveal that the anomalous phonon softening upon metallization is not exclusive to the high symmetry $R$ and $Γ$ points. Several other phonon modes around the $R$-point as well as the phonon modes at the $M$ and $X$ points of the Brillouin zone exhibit anomalous phonon softening with magnitudes comparable to that observed at the $R$-point. The momentum dependence of the phonon softening is reproduced by the lattice dynamical calculation based on the density functional perturbation theory. We discuss our findings with respect to the nature of the semiconductor-to-metal crossover in FeSi, for which different microscopic origins have been proposed, i.e., lattice thermal disorder and electronic correlation effects.
