description: This paper compares quantum computing simulators running on a single CPU or GPU-based HPC node using the Quantum Volume benchmark commonly proposed for comparing NISQ systems. As simulators do not suffer from noise, the metric used in the comparison is the time required to simulate a set Quantum Volume. The results are important to estimate the feasibility of proof of concept studies and debugging of quantum algorithms on HPC systems. Besides benchmarks of some commonly used simulators, this paper also offers an overview of their main features, a review of the state of quantum computing simulation and quantum computing benchmarking, and some insight into the theory of Quantum Volume.

On the detectability of gravitational waves background produced by gamma ray bursts
Creators: name: Auriemma, Giulio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we discuss a new strategy for the detection of gravitational radiation likely emitted by cosmological gamma ray burst. Robust and conservative estimates lead to the conclusion that the uncorrelated superimposition of bursts of gravitational waves can be detected by interferometric detectors like VIRGO or LIGO. The expected signal is predicted to carry two very distinctive signatures: the cosmological dipole anisotropy and a characteristic time scale in the auto correlation spectrum, which might be exploited, perhaps with ad hoc modifications and/or upgrading of the planned experiments, to confirm the non-instrumental origin of the signal.

description: The frequency--period distribution and other properties of Cepheids in IC 1613 are discussed and compared with those of stars in our Galaxy (Milky Way), LMC, SMC, M31 and M33. Taking into account the observational limitations and related incompleteness, it is concluded that the frequency-period distribution of Cepheids in IC 1613 is similar to that of SMC; we suspect that a much larger number of stars exist in IC 1613 with a period of less than 2 d that have not yet been detected. A discussion of the deficiency of fundamental mode Cepheids with periods in the range 8 - 10 d in the Milky Way, M31 and M33 is reported. The present data are not sufficient to verify if this is produced by a real bimodal frequency--period distribution or whether depends on the lack of pulsating stars in such a period range due to pulsational stability reasons. Some arguments are presented in favor of a bimodal distribution that is a function of the average metallicity. The Milky Way, M31 and M33 have the two maxima located at the same periods, about 5 and 13 d, respectively. A comment on very long period Cepheids is also given.

description: Sudan has a lengthy past that dates back to thousands of years before the birth of Christ. In the city of Merowe alone, there are more than 200 pyramids, more than there are in all of Egypt. There have been several experiments and initiatives aimed at digitizing Sudan’s cultural legacy, but the majority of them focused on folklore; little attempt has been made to preserve the physical cultural heritage. The paper discusses the status of Sudan’s historic sites and the outcomes of previous digital conservation efforts. It addresses these issues within the context of digital conservation trails of physical monuments using photogrammetry, highlighting the urgent problem posed by the nation’s
on-going civil war and its impact on conservation trials. Utilizing photogrammetry scanning software Metashape, the sites of Old Dongola and Al-Khandag were selected for conservation trials. This approach enabled the creation of digital models of the monuments, ensuring their accessibility in the
event of conflict or potential deterioration.

description: The limitations of today’s quantum hardware require the development of hybrid applications in which parts of the calculations are to be carried out on quantum computers. The decision of whether outsourcing particular calculations actually offers an advantage and is worthwhile is not a trivial one. Decisions are problem-specific and are made manually these days. In this work-in-progress paper, we briefly outline some decision-making approaches and describe the idea of a rule-based approach in more detail. These approaches could form the basis for the implementation of a decision service that is integrated into a hybrid software architecture.

We also establish its analogue for Lie p-rings. The proofs make use of the theory of commutator-type operators.

description: Critical infrastructure and Industry 4.0 depend heavily on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), necessitating significant support for cybersecurity and safety professionals throughout development and implementation. This paper explores safety measures linked to physical protection at different CPS levels and how they interact with features of the digital twin. However, digital twins require comprehensive preventative and detective procedures to ensure security. The objective is to facilitate advanced attack tree analysis. Utilizing 3D modeling to incorporate features such as tamper-indicating devices, forensic biometric security, digital CCTV/video monitoring, physical/logical zones, and graded security controls enhances the depiction of the real world. Furthermore, functional safety assessments and risk assessments are carried out. The frameworks will include Babylon JS 7.0, Vue 3.x, and Element+, enabling a tool-based method designed to help subject matter experts analyze complex security postures of CPS efficiently and consistently. This scalable method can be applied in smart manufacturing as well as large-scale plant operations.

description: The growth of 3D imaging across a range of sectors has driven a demand for high performance beam steering techniques. Fields as diverse as autonomous vehicles and medical imaging can benefit from a high speed, adaptable method of beam steering. We present a monolithic, sub-microsecond electro-optic switch as a solution satisfying the need for reliability, speed, dynamic addressability and compactness. Here we demonstrate a laboratory-scale, solid-state lidar pointing system, using the electro-optic switch to launch modulated coherent light into free space, and then to collect the reflected signal. We use coherent detection of the reflected light to simultaneously extract the range and axial velocity of targets at each of several electronically addressable output ports.

description: This is a feasibility study to evaluate acquisition of three-dimensional cultural artefacts for a virtual museum in Indonesia, in particular under difficult conditions regarding transportation, lighting and power supply. Evaluation is done by comparison of the resulting models in a 3D software for size, resolution, and visual realism. In a second step, models are reduced in texture size and mesh resolution, to be tested for real-time playback in FrameVR. Included hardware tools for photogrammetry are high-resolution stills from a hybrid photographic camera, a small drone, and a smartphone with a combination of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and photography. Generation of 3D models is realised by free software for generation and also for enhancement of results. The results show that the tools can generate realistic models of cultural artefacts under varying environmental conditions and enable playability in a virtual 3D environment.

The tuning element does not employ conventional semiconductor technologies to operate but rather a bases its tuning by changing the optomechanical properties of its dielectric, poly disperse red 1 acrylate (PDR1A). Doing so there are no conventional semiconductor devices in the RF signal path. The metasurface operates at a design frequency of 5.5 GHz and it achieves an optically-tuned bandwidth of 150 MHz, from 5.50 GHz to 5.65 GHz.

Spectra of Maser Radiation from a Turbulent, Circumnuclear Accretion Disk. III. Circular polarization
Creators: name: Watson, W. D.
name: Wiebe, D. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Calculations are performed for the circular polarization of maser radiation from a turbulent, Keplerian disk that is intended to represent the sub-parsec disk at the nucleus of the galaxy NGC4258. The polarization in the calculations is a result of the Zeeman effect in the regime in which the Zeeman splitting is much less than the spectral linebreadth. Plausible configurations for turbulent magnetic and velocity fields in the disk are created by statistical methods. This turbulence, along with the Keplerian velocity gradients and the blending of the three hyperfine components to form the $6_{16} - 5_{23}$ masing transition of water, are key ingredients in determining the appearance of the polarized spectra that are calculated. These spectra are quite different from the polarized spectra that would be expected for a two-level transition where there is no hyperfine structure. The effect of the hyperfine structure on the polarization is most striking in the calculations for the maser emission that represents the central (or systemic) features of NGC4258. Information about magnetic fields is inferred from observations for polarized maser radiation and bears on the structure of accretion disks.

Fast Parameter Estimation from the CMB Power Spectrum

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The statistical properties of a map of the primary fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) may be specified to high accuracy by a few thousand power spectra measurements, provided the fluctuations are gaussian, yet the number of parameters relevant for the CMB is probably no more than about 10-20. There is consequently a large degree of redundancy in the power spectrum data. In this paper, we show that the MOPED data compression technique can reduce the CMB power spectrum measurements to about 10-20 numbers (one for each parameter), from which the cosmological parameters can be estimated virtually as accurately as from the complete power spectrum. This offers opportunities for very fast parameter estimation from real and simulated CMB skies, with accurate likelihood calculations at Planck resolution being speeded up by a factor of around five hundred million.

description: Accumulation of senescent endothelial cells can cause endothelium dysfunction which eventually leads to age-related vascular disorders. The senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) cells secrete a plethora of soluble factors that negatively influence the surrounding tissue microenvironment. The present study sought to investigate the effects of exosomes, which are nano-sized extracellular vesicles known for intercellular communications secreted by SASP cells on young endothelial cells. Exosomes were isolated from the condition media of senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and then confirmed by the detection of exosome specific CD63 and CD9 expressions, electron microscopy and acetylcholinesterase assay. The purified exosomes were used to treat young HUVECs. Exposure to exosomes repressed the expression of adherens junction proteins including vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and beta-catenin, decreased cell growth kinetics and impaired endothelial migration potential of young endothelial cells. These findings suggest that senescent HUVECs-secreted exosomes could disrupt barrier integrity that underpins endothelial barrier dysfunction in healthy young endothelial cells.

description: Advances in AI facilitate the development of numerous smart solutions that significantly enhance efficiency and comfort for organizations and individual users. However, AI systems often suffer from the 'black box' problem and other issues that challenge their trustworthiness, and thus broad user acceptance. Since trust is crucial for the initial adoption and continued engagement with AI systems, there are numerous academic and practice-driven efforts to articulate requirements for trustworthy AI applications. The sheer volume of frameworks and information can be overwhelming. This article distills prior literature and practice insights and presents a structured guide outlining the main requirements for trustworthy AI applications. While we focus on the smart living domain, our aim is to provide concrete guidance for development and reduce the complexity of the topic for SMEs seeking to develop AI applications in various application fields.
Probing the Dark Side of Gravitational Clustering: Weak Lensing Statistics at Large Smoothing Angle
Creators: name: Munshi, Dipak
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The weak lensing surveys have the potential to probe directly the clustering statistics of dark matter in the universe. Recent studies have shown that it is possible to predict analytically the whole probability distribution function (pdf) and the bias associated with the collapsed objects in the highly non-linear regime using the hierarchical ansatz. We extend such studies to the quasi-linear regime where the hierarchical ansatz is replaced by the tree-level perturbative calculations to an arbitrary order. It is shown how the generating function techniques can be coupled with the perturbative calculations to compute the complete pdf and the bias in the quasi-linear regime for the weak-lensing convergence field. We study how these quantities depend on the smoothing angle and the source red-shift in different realistic cosmological scenarios. We show that it is possible to define a reduced convergence whose statistics is similar to underlying 3D mass distribution for small smoothing angle but it resembles projected mass distribution for large smoothing angles. We have also compared our peturbative results with log-normal model for pdf and bias and found a good agreement between the two analytical results.

description: Purpose: It is increasingly more common for Speech and Language Pathologists in Sweden to encounter individuals with dysarthria who speak a different language. The aim of the present pilot study was to develop and test a systematic method to be used in collaboration with an interpreter, for assessment of acquired dysarthria in people speaking a language not familiar to the Speech and Language Pathologist. Methods: Seven participants, speaking standard Arabic, were assessed by a Swedish speaking Speech and Language Pathologist using this method and with help of a certified interpreter. The participants were also assessed with equivalent test items from the Swedish “Dysarthria assessment,” with instructions translated to Arabic, by a Speech and Language Pathologist speaking standard Arabic and the results were compared. Results: There were no significant differences between the assessments by the Swedish speaking Speech and Language Pathologist and the Arabic speaking Speech and Language Pathologist in the domains “Respiration and phonation,” “Articulation,” “Listener Comprehension” and “Severity of dysarthria.” There was a significant difference between assessments in the domain “Oromotor and velopharyngeal function.” Intra- and inter-rater reliability was also calculated using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient and their 95% Confidence Interval. Intra-rater reliability was excellent and inter-rater reliability was very good. Conclusion: The study indicates that a Speech and Language Pathologist, with help of an interpreter, can carry out an assessment of dysarthria in a language unknown to the Speech and Language Pathologist with results comparable to results from an assessment carried out by a Speech and Language Pathologist who speaks the foreign language.

description: The hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA) is a fundamental artifact of safety engineering that requires substantial effort from experienced engineers to conform to standards. The cost combined with today’s shortage of trained personnel demands technical solutions to reduce these efforts. Recent advances in generative AI provide new opportunities to support engineers with complex and creative tasks such as the HARA that require knowledge of the system and the environment. However, for now, the results provided by large language models are not reliable enough for safety artifacts so human engineers must review and approve them. In our study, we present a tool to create a HARA based on human-AI cooperation. Our goal is to keep human engineers involved in each decision and guide them by providing arguments, examples, and assessment proposals. In our case study, the engineers benefit from the additional reasonings and proposed assessments of the AI tool.

description: We report on recent results obtained by analyzing axion--photon mixing in the framework of quantum field theory. We obtain corrections to the oscillation formulae and we reveal a new effect of the vacuum polarization due to the non-zero value of the vacuum energy for the component of the photon polarization mixed with the axion. The study of axion--photon mixing in curved space is also presented. Numerical analysis show that some quantum field theory effect of axion--photon mixing, in principle, could be detected experimentally.

Cosmochthonius

description: Cosmochthonius (Nortonchthonius) n. subgen.
 Type species: Cosmochthonius (Nortonchthonius) oblongisetosus n. sp.
 Diagnosis — Species belonging to the genus Cosmochthonius with the posterior pygidium truncated and the large dorsal setae that project far away from the margin of the hysterosomal plate in a ’skirt’ fashion, the first setae of the hysterosomal segment H (h1) and first adanal (ad1) which are strongly modified, with the look of ’cabbage leaves’ (Figure 1).
 Remarks — This new subgenus, known solely by one species, shows the appearance and layout of the dorsal series of notochaetae c-f of Cosmochthonius. It differs from the other genera of the polydactyl group of Cosmochthoniidae in that the shelled expanded dorsal setae of Krivolutskiella and the erectil and foliar setae of Phyllozetes lack, and by the unguicular formulae, which are 2-2- 2- 3 in Phyllozetes and 2-2-2- 2 in Krivolutskiella. Taking into account the body size and the growth of the erectile setae, the new subgenus occupies a position close to Cosmochthonius s. str. because they lack the body miniaturization and/or the reduction or regression of the erectile setae, that defines Cosmochthonius (Nanochthonius) Subías and Gil-Martín, 1995 type species Cosmochthonius (Microchthonius) ruizi Kahwash, Subías and Ruíz, 1989. The modification of the posterior hysterosomal setae in this species, particularly that of the h1 and ad1 setae justified the creation of the new subgenus Cosmochthonius (Nortonchthonius).
 Etymology — The subgeneric ’ Nortonchthonius ’ name is dedicated to the North American acarologist Roy A. Norton.

description: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by fungi play a key role in locating and selecting hosts for fungivorous arthropods. However, the ecological functions of many common VOC classes, such as sesquiterpenes, remain unknown. Mutants of Trichoderma virens, defective in the emission of most sesquiterpenes owing to the deletion of the terpene cyclase vir4, were used to evaluate the role of this compound class in the food preference and fitness of the soil Collembola Folsomia candida. Choice experiments with and without direct contact with fungal mycelium revealed that Collembola were preferentially attracted to Δvir4 mutants impaired in sesquiterpene synthesis compared to wild type T. virens. Grazing by F. candida on the sesquiterpene deficient T. virens strain had no effect on Collembola survival, reproduction and growth compared to wild type T. virens. The results suggest that sesquiterpenes play an important role in fungal defence as repellents, but not as deterrents or toxins, against fungivorous Collembola. Our research contributes to the understanding of ecological interactions between fungi and fungivorous arthropods, providing insights into the specific ecological functions of sesquiterpenes. The study has implications for chemical ecology and the dynamics of multitrophic interactions in soil ecosystems.

description: Smart Home applications exert immediate influence on inhabitants. While the widespread availability of supporting frameworks and technologies facilitates ad hoc application development, assessing and designing the impact on inhabitants have to be considered as well. In this paper, we outline a concept for an elective bachelor's project for computer science students planned for the upcoming winter term. This course builds on our experience with two elective courses on the topic of "machine ethics”. In this project, we understand the smart home "LIVING PLACE" at HAW Hamburg and its interior as ethical actors and outline how to advance this viewpoint to a testbed for experimenting with principles of (machine) ethics and embedding ethical values during system development.

description: En mercados muy competitivos los plazos de entrega suelen ser muy estrictos. Entregar tarde o de forma defectuosa una mercancía puede significar perder a un cliente, por lo que la correcta coordinación de todas las actividades, desde que se inicia una operación hasta que se termina, constituye una labor fundamental. Esta labor de coordinación de todas las fases necesarias para que el cliente reciba en tiempo y forma su mercancía es lo que se conoce como logística, y dentro de esta actividad logística el transporte juega un papel fundamental. El transporte y, en general, la logística es un sector complejo. Tiene un impacto muy significativo en los precios, el medio ambiente y el consumo de energía. Si la globalización implica transportar cada vez más productos a mayores distancias, el manejo óptimo de todos los recursos implicados puede no sólo significar mejores resultados financieros, sino la supervivencia de la propia empresa. En este documento se describen las relaciones e implicaciones de la logística y el transporte, así como algunos aspectos generales relacionados con la gestión del transporte internacional. Se establece la necesidad de preparar la mercancía para la exportación, incluyendo tanto el embalaje como el seguro. Se describe los medios de transporte internacional y su documentación. Finalmente, se enumeran los términos del comercio internacional de mercancías (Incoterms) y se establecen criterios para su correcta utilización.

description: A diet rich in nutrients has been suggested to have protective effects against the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Since the traditional Mediterranean diet is high in nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it is of interest to study as a protective factor against COPD. Our aim was therefore to study its associations with development of COPD using population-based prospective data from the Västerbotten Intervention Programme (VIP) cohort. Data on diet from 370 individuals, who later visited the Department of Medicine at the University Hospital, Umeå, Sweden, with a diagnosis of COPD, were compared to 1432 controls. Adherence to a Mediterranean diet was assessed by a modified version of the Mediterranean diet score (MDS). Cases were diagnosed with COPD 11.1 years (mean) (standard deviation [SD] 4.5 years) after first stating their dietary habits in the VIP at a mean age of 55.5 years (SD 6.6 years). Higher MDS was associated with a higher level of education and not living alone. After adjustment for co-habiting and education level, individuals with an intermediate MDS and those with the highest MDS had a lower odds of developing COPD (odds ratio [OR] 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56–0.95; OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.37–0.86, respectively). These results remained also after adjustment for smoking intensity, i.e., numbers of cigarettes smoked per day (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.53–0.99; OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.35–0.97), respectively). To conclude, adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet seems to be inversely associated with the development of COPD.

description: We derive an entropic uncertainty relation for generalized positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) measurements via a direct-sum majorization relation using Schur concavity of entropic quantities in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Our approach provides a significant improvement of the uncertainty bound compared with previous majorization-based approaches [S. Friendland, V. Gheorghiu and G. Gour, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 230401 (2013); A. E. Rastegin and K. Życzkowski, J. Phys. A, 49, 355301 (2016)], particularly by extending the direct-sum majorization relation first introduced in [Ł. Rudnicki, Z. Puchała and K. Życzkowski, Phys. Rev. A 89, 052115 (2014)]. We illustrate the usefulness of our uncertainty relations by considering a pair of qubit observables in a two-dimensional system and randomly chosen unsharp observables in a three-dimensional system. We also demonstrate that our bound tends to be stronger than the generalized Maassen--Uffink bound with an increase in the unsharpness effect. Furthermore, we extend our approach to the case of multiple POVM measurements, thus making it possible to establish entropic uncertainty relations involving more than two observables.

description: The widespread use of online platforms for political advertising has prompted concerns regarding the processing of personal data for purposes such as sponsored boosting of political content and political microtargeting. The implementation of targeting and amplification techniques enables political actors to address content in a tailored manner to target audiences and to increase the reach of such content in the online domain. The availability of a vast quantity of data enables the aforementioned processes. This paper examines the situation from the perspective of Brazil, based on the Brazilian Electoral Law and Data Protection Law, as well as the European Union legal framework that has had an influence on it, such as the DSA, the RTT, and the GDPR. The focus of this paper is on a specific category of data that presents a challenging situation in both jurisdictions: personal data that has been manifestly made public by the data subject.
