description: Dark matter scenarios are being tested at the LHC in the general-purpose experiments through promptly decaying states. In parallel, new dedicated detectors have been proposed for the LHC to probe dark matter portal theories predicting long-lived particles that decay away from the interaction point: MoEDAL-MAPP, MoEDAL-MALL, FASER, SND@LHC, CODEX-b, MATHUSLA, AL3X, ANUBIS, FACET, milliQan, FORMOSA. In addition, the SHiP beam-dump experiment is planned to operate with the SPS beam to extend the discovery reach for such particles. The detector design and expected physics sensitivity of these experiments is presented with emphasis on scenarios explaining the nature of dark matter.

description: Either in bulk form, or when exfoliated into atomically thin crystals, layered transition metal dichalcogenides are continuously leading to the discovery of new phenomena. The latest example is provided by 1T'-WTe$_2$, a semimetal recently found to exhibit the largest known magnetoresistance in bulk crystals, and predicted to become a two-dimensional topological insulator in strained monolayers. Here, we show that reducing the thickness through facile exfoliation provides an effective experimental knob to tune the electronic properties of WTe$_2$, which allows us to identify the microscopic mechanisms responsible for the observed classical and quantum magnetotransport down to the ultimate atomic scale. We find that the longitudinal resistance and the very unconventional B-dependence of the Hall resistance are reproduced quantitatively in terms of a classical two-band model for crystals as thin as six monolayers, and that for thinner crystals a crossover to an insulating, Anderson-localized state occurs. Besides establishing the origin of the very large magnetoresistance of bulk WTe$_2$, our results represent the first, complete validation of the classical theory for two-band electron-hole transport, and indicate that atomically thin WTe$_2$ layers remain gapless semimetals, from which we conclude that searching for a topological insulating state by straining monolayers is a challenging, but feasible experiment.

description: This paper discusses the use of and attitudes towards electronic resources by a select group of medieval scholars. A survey was sent to ninety-two medievalists selected from eight institutions of higher education with graduate offerings in medieval studies. The medievalists represent many different departments including English, History, Foreign Languages, Art and Art History, Religion and Philosophy, and Music. Forty-three of the survey recipients returned their surveys. This study was conducted to determine the respondents' current use of and attitudes towards five types of electronic resources: journals, dictionaries, translations, editions, and facsimiles. The respondents show a mixed response to electronic resources. Although for the most part they are open to the idea of some types of electronic resources, it remains the responsibility of resource creators to take full advantage of transformative technologies and in turn make these resources available to medieval scholars. Further study needs to be done on this unique group of scholars.
Moduli Dynamics in Effective Nested Warped Geometry in Four Dimensions and Some Cosmological Implications

description: We analyze the effective four-dimensional dynamics of the extra-dimensional moduli fields in curved braneworlds having nested warping, with particular emphasis on the doubly warped model which is interesting in the light of current collider constraints on the mass of the Kaluza-Klein graviton. The presence of a non-zero brane cosmological constant ($Ω$) naturally induces an effective moduli potential in the four-dimensional action, which shows distinct features in dS ($Ω>0$) and AdS ($Ω<0$) branches. For the observationally interesting case of dS 4-branes, a metastable minimum in the potential arises along the first modulus, with no minima along the higher moduli. The underlying nested geometry also leads to interesting separable forms of the non-canonical kinetic terms in the Einstein frame, where the brane curvature directly impacts the kinetic properties of only the first modulus. The non-canonicity of the scenario has been illustrated via an explicit computation of the field space curvature. We subsequently explore the ability of curved multiply warped geometries to drive inflation with an in-built exit mechanism, by considering predominant slow roll along each modular direction on a case-by-case basis. We find slow roll on top of the metastable plateau along the first modular direction to be the most viable scenario, with the higher-dimensional moduli parametrically tuning the height of the potential without significant impact on the inflationary observables. On the other hand, while slow roll along the higher moduli can successfully inflate the background and eventually lead to an exit, consistency with observations seemingly requires unphysical hierarchies among the extra-dimensional radii, thus disfavouring such scenarios.

description: Geometric optics approximation is sufficient to describe the effects in the near-Earth environment. In this framework Faraday rotation is purely a reference frame (gauge) effect. However, it cannot be simply dismissed. Establishing local reference frame with respect to some distant stars leads to the Faraday phase error between the ground station and the spacecraft of the order of $10^{-10}$ in the leading post-Newtonian expansion of the Earth's gravitational field. While the Wigner phase of special relativity is of the order $10^{-4}$--$10^{-5}$. Both types of errors can be simultaneously mitigated by simple encoding procedures. We also present briefly the covariant formulation of geometric optic correction up to the subleading order approximation, which is necessary for the propagation of electromagnetic/ gravitational waves of large but finite frequencies. We use this formalism to obtain a closed form of the polarization dependent correction of the light ray trajectory in the leading order in a weak spherically symmetric gravitational field.

description: The ability of open crowds to produce useful and novel solutions is of significant research and practical interest. Much of the existing research has assumed that crowd participants approach problem-solving autonomously and independently of one another. In the Stack Exchange network, we explored problems posted by open crowds and the sequences of suggestions and comments leading up to a solution that was novel and judged by the solution seeker as useful for solving the problem. In the sequences of suggestions, we found indications of self-organization as the crowd emergently accumulated knowledge in specific patterns that were more likely to lead to accepted solutions. The patterns contained positive and negative forms of feedback ensuring that the crowd would, on its own and without external governance intervention, engage in actions that eventually led to accepted solutions. In total, based on the observed knowledge accumulation patterns, three self-organization principles were derived and incorporated into a theory of self-organization for creative solution generation in open crowds. Our theory development suggests implications for research on open crowds specifically, as well as for research on new organizational forms.

description: From time to time, different observations suggest that Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR) may not be the ultimate theory of gravity. Various researchers have suggested that the $f(R)$ theory of gravity is the best alternative to replace GR. Using $f(R)$ gravity, one can elucidate the various unexplained physics of compact objects, such as black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs. Researchers have already put effort into finding the vacuum solution around a black hole in $f(R)$ gravity. However, for a long time, they could not find an asymptotically flat vacuum solution. In this article, we show that the asymptotically flat vacuum solution of $f(R)$ gravity is possible and thereby use it to explain the spherical accretion flow around the black hole.

description: Hierarchical triple-star systems are expected to form frequently via close binary-binary encounters in the dense cores of globular clusters. In a sufficiently inclined triple, gravitational interactions between the inner and outer binary can cause large-amplitude oscillations in the eccentricity of the inner orbit ("Lidov-Kozai cycles"), which can lead to a collision and merger of the two inner components. In this paper we use Monte Carlo models of dense star clusters to identify all triple systems formed dynamically and we compute their evolution using a highly accurate three-body integrator which incorporates relativistic and tidal effects. We find that a large fraction of these triples evolve through a non-secular dynamical phase which can drive the inner binary to higher eccentricities than predicted by the standard secular perturbation theory (even including octupole-order terms). We place constraints on the importance of Lidov-Kozai-induced mergers for producing: (i) gravitational wave sources detectable by Advanced LIGO (aLIGO), for triples with an inner pair of stellar black holes; and (ii) blue straggler stars, for triples with main-sequence-star components. We find a realistic aLIGO detection rate of black hole mergers due to the Lidov-Kozai mechanism of 1yr^-1, with about 20% of these having a finite eccentricity when they first chirp into the aLIGO frequency band. While rare, these events are likely to dominate among eccentric compact object inspirals that are potentially detectable by aLIGO. For blue stragglers, we find that the Lidov-Kozai mechanism can contribute only up to ~10% of their total numbers in globular clusters.

description: Noncommutative geometry is one of the quantum gravity theories, which various researchers have been using to describe different physical and astrophysical systems. However, so far, no direct observations can justify its existence, and this theory remains a hypothesis. On the other hand, over the past two decades, more than a dozen over-luminous type Ia supernovae have been observed, which indirectly predict that they originate from white dwarfs with super-Chandrasekhar masses $2.1-2.8 \rm\,M_\odot$. In this article, we discuss that considering white dwarfs as squashed fuzzy spheres, a class of noncommutative geometry, helps in accumulating more mass than the Chandrasekhar mass-limit. The length-scale beyond which the effect of noncommutativity becomes prominent is an emergent phenomenon, which depends only on the inter-electron separations in the white dwarf.

description: We show that Gaussian process regression (GPR) allows representing multivariate functions with low-dimensional terms via kernel design. When using a kernel built with HDMR (High-dimensional model representation), one obtains a similar type of representation as the previously proposed HDMR-GPR scheme while being faster and simpler to use. We tested the approach on cases where highly accurate machine learning is required from sparse data by fitting potential energy surfaces and kinetic energy densities.

description: Empirical defenses for machine learning privacy forgo the provable guarantees of differential privacy in the hope of achieving higher utility while resisting realistic adversaries. We identify severe pitfalls in existing empirical privacy evaluations (based on membership inference attacks) that result in misleading conclusions. In particular, we show that prior evaluations fail to characterize the privacy leakage of the most vulnerable samples, use weak attacks, and avoid comparisons with practical differential privacy baselines. In 5 case studies of empirical privacy defenses, we find that prior evaluations underestimate privacy leakage by an order of magnitude. Under our stronger evaluation, none of the empirical defenses we study are competitive with a properly tuned, high-utility DP-SGD baseline (with vacuous provable guarantees).

Geometry of Bloch states probed by Stückelberg interferometry

description: Inspired by recent experiments with cold atoms in optical lattices, we consider a Stückelberg interferometer for a particle performing Bloch oscillations in a tight-binding model on the honeycomb lattice. The interferometer is made of two avoided crossings at the saddle points of the band structure (i.e. at M points of the reciprocal space). This problem is reminiscent of the double Dirac cone Stückelberg interferometer that was recently studied in the continuum limit [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 155302 (2014)]. Although the two problems share similarities -- such as the appearance of a geometric phase shift -- lattice effects, not captured by the continuum limit, make them truly different. The particle dynamics in the presence of a force is described by the Bloch Hamiltonian $H(\boldsymbol{k})$ defined from the tight-binding Hamiltonian and the position operator. This leads to many interesting effects for the lattice Stückelberg interferometer: a twisting of the two Landau-Zener tunnelings, saturation of the inter-band transition probability in the sudden (infinite force) limit and extended periodicity or even non-periodicity beyond the first Brillouin zone. In particular, Stückelberg interferometry gives access to the overlap matrix of cell-periodic Bloch states thereby allowing to fully characterize the geometry of Bloch states, as e.g. to obtain the quantum metric tensor.

description: Within the field of automated driving, a clear trend in environment perception tends towards more sensors, higher redundancy, and overall increase in computational power. This is mainly driven by the paradigm to perceive the entire environment as best as possible at all times. However, due to the ongoing rise in functional complexity, compromises have to be considered to ensure real-time capabilities of the perception system. In this work, we introduce a concept for situation-aware environment perception to control the resource allocation towards processing relevant areas within the data as well as towards employing only a subset of functional modules for environment perception, if sufficient for the current driving task. Specifically, we propose to evaluate the context of an automated vehicle to derive a multi-layer attention map (MLAM) that defines relevant areas. Using this MLAM, the optimum of active functional modules is dynamically configured and intra-module processing of only relevant data is enforced. We outline the feasibility of application of our concept using real-world data in a straight-forward implementation for our system at hand. While retaining overall functionality, we achieve a reduction of accumulated processing time of 59%.

description: When the data are sparse, optimization of hyperparameters of the kernel in Gaussian process regression by the commonly used maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) criterion often leads to overfitting. We show that choosing hyperparameters (in this case, kernel length parameter and regularization parameter) based on a criterion of the completeness of the basis in the corresponding linear regression problem is superior to MLE. We show that this is facilitated by the use of high-dimensional model representation (HDMR) whereby a low-order HDMR representation can provide reliable reference functions and large synthetic test data sets needed for basis parameter optimization even when the original data are few.

This leads to a number of new relative Thom isomorphisms, e.g. $MU[6,\infty)\wedge_{MString} MU[6,\infty)\simeq MU[6,\infty)\wedge\mathbb{S}[B^3Spin]$. As an example of interest to chromatic homotopy theorists, we also show that Ravenel's $X(n)$ filtration of $MU$ is a tower of intermediate Thom spectra determined by a natural filtration of $BU$ by sub-bialagebras.

description: Hadronic resonances emerge from strong interactions encoding the dynamics of quarks and gluons. The structure of these resonances can be probed by virtual photons parameterized in transition form factors. In this study, twelve $N^*$ and $Δ$ transition form factors at the pole are extracted from data with the center-of-mass energy from $πN$ threshold to $1.8\,{\rm GeV}$, and the photon virtuality $0\leq Q^2/{\rm GeV}^2\leq 8$. For the first time, these results are determined from a simultaneous analysis of more than one state, i.e., $\sim 10^5$ $πN$, $ηN$, and $KΛ$ electroproduction data. In addition, about $ 5\cdot 10^4$ data in the hadronic sector as well as photoproduction serve as boundary conditions. For the $Δ(1232)$ and $N(1440)$ states our results are in qualitative agreement with previous studies, while the transition form factors at the poles of some higher excited states are estimated for the first time.

description: A main difficulty in actuarial claim size modeling is that there is no simple off-the-shelf distribution that simultaneously provides a good distributional model for the main body and the tail of the data. In particular, covariates may have different effects for small and for large claim sizes. To cope with this problem, we introduce a deep composite regression model whose splicing point is given in terms of a quantile of the conditional claim size distribution rather than a constant. To facilitate M-estimation for such models, we introduce and characterize the class of strictly consistent scoring functions for the triplet consisting a quantile, as well as the lower and upper expected shortfall beyond that quantile. In a second step, this elicitability result is applied to fit deep neural network regression models. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach and its superiority over classical approaches on a real accident insurance data set.

On the sensitivity of extracting the astrophysical cross section factor of the 12C(a,g) reaction from existing data [Comment on Schuermann et al. Phys. Lett. B711(2012)35]

description: We address a conflicting report on the value and uncertainty of the astrophysical cross section factor of the 12C(a,g) reaction extracted from existing data. In sharp contrast to previously reported ambiguities (by up to a factor 8), Schuermann et al. suggest an accuracy of 12%. We demonstrate that the so claimed "rigorous data selection criteria" used by Schuermann et al. relies on the s-factors extracted by Assuncao et al. But these results were shown in a later analysis (by this author) to have large error bars (considerably larger than claimed by Assuncao em et al.) which render these data not appropriate for a rigorous analysis. When their "rigorous data selection" is adjusted to remove the results of Assuncao et al. the astrophysical cross section factor cannot be extracted with 12% accuracy, or even close to it. Such data on the S_E2 values at low energies deviate by up to a factor two from their fit and exhibit a sharper slope rising toward low energies, leading to strong doubt on their extrapolated S_E2(300) value and the quoted small error bar. Contrary to their claim the small value of S_E1(300) ~10 keVb cannot be ruled out by current data including the most modern gamma-ray data. As previously observed by several authors current data reveal ambiguities in the value of S_E1(300) ~10 keVb or ~80 keVb, and the new ambiguity that was recently revealed (by this author) of S_E2(300) ~60 keVb or ~154 keVb, appear to be a more reasonable evaluation the status of current data.

Information Seeking Habits of Environmental Scientists: A Study of Interdisciplinary Scientists at the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
Creators: name: Murphy, Janet

description: This study describes a questionnaire survey of interdisciplinary scientists conducting research at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The survey was conducted in order to gain a clearer picture of how the interdisciplinary scientists seeks information, and in particular how the interdisciplinary scientist manages his/her time in regard to information-gathering tasks. Researchers at the Environmental Protection Agency report that they have some difficulty in maintaining a vocabulary in several scientific disciplines at the same time. Results also indicate that while scientists are utilizing the assistance of others in information-gathering, they do not report a heavy reliance on library resources. Analysis of the current status of the researchers' needs shows that researchers are demonstrating an increasing need for assistance in information-gathering.

description: This paper introduces a scoping review of 55 articles to explore GPT's potential for games, offering researchers a comprehensive understanding of the current applications and identifying both emerging trends and unexplored areas. We identify five key applications of GPT in current game research: procedural content generation, mixed-initiative game design, mixed-initiative gameplay, playing games, and game user research. Drawing from insights in each of these application areas, we propose directions for future research in each one. This review aims to lay the groundwork by illustrating the state of the art for innovative GPT applications in games, promising to enrich game development and enhance player experiences with cutting-edge AI innovations.

description: Strong similarities exist between intrusion detection and information retrieval. This  paper explores the application of probabilistic information retrieval techniques to log  analysis for host-based intrusion detection. Using information retrieval techniques may  yield significant improvements to the performance of intrusion detection systems. This  paper provides a brief review of current relevant research in intrusion detection and log  analysis, introduces information retrieval methods appropriate for intrusion detection, and  evaluates the effectiveness an experimental log analysis system using the 1999 DARPA  Intrusion Detection Evaluation data sets. The system is based on Bayesian probability  theory and uses a TF-IDF term weight measure to identify anomalies.
Exploring system size dependence of jet modification in heavy-ion collisions

description: In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, jet quenching in quark-gluon plasma (QGP) has been extensively studied, revealing important insights into the properties of the color deconfined nuclear matter. Over the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in the exploration of QGP droplets in small collision systems like $p$+$p$ or $p$+A collisions driven by the observation of collective flow phenomena. However, the absence of jet quenching, a key QGP signature, in these systems poses a puzzle. Understanding how jet quenching evolves with system size is crucial for uncovering the underlying physics. In this study, we employ the linear Boltzmann transport (LBT) model to investigate jet modification in $^{96}$Ru+$^{96}$Ru, $^{96}$Zr+$^{96}$Zr, and $^{197}$Au+$^{197}$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. Our findings highlight the system size sensitivity exhibited by jet nuclear modification factor ($R_\mathrm{AA}$) and jet shape ($ρ$), contrasting to the relatively weak responses of jet mass ($M$), girth ($g$) and momentum dispersion ($p_\mathrm{T}{D}$) to system size variations. These results offer invaluable insights into the system size dependence of the QGP properties and await experimental validation at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider.
Spinning cylinders in general relativity: a canonical form for the Lewis metrics of the Weyl class

description: In the main article [CQG 38 (2021) 055003], a new "canonical" form for the Lewis metrics of the Weyl class has been obtained, depending only on three parameters -- Komar mass and angular momentum per unit length, plus the angle deficit -- corresponding to a coordinate system fixed to the "distant stars" and an everywhere timelike Killing vector field. Such form evinces the local but non-global static character of the spacetime, and striking parallelisms with the electromagnetic analogue. We discuss here its generality, main physical features and important limits (the Levi-Civita static cylinder, and spinning cosmic strings). We contrast it on geometric and physical grounds with the Kerr spacetime -- as an example of a metric which is locally non-static.

competence framework

description: This framework provides the conceptual underpinnings for the Democrat Horizon Europe project, pointing to different dimensions of
 democracy that should be addressed in Education for Democracy (EfD), with a focus on responsible democratic citizenship (RDC). It
 examines current debates around democracy and education, including illiberal challenges to democratic values, structures and procedures, as well as different approaches concerning EfD, with a view to identify research gaps and further develop next research steps. Challenges related to digitalisation are addressed (in education, media, social relations). The literature review encompasses research and policy debates at both national (6 countries included in the project) and international levels (in particular, EU, Council of Europe and UNESCO). Building on this RDC vision, a competence framework was developed. It took into account the main existing competences frameworks in the field of democratic citizenship and adjacent fields such as digital civic competences, sustainable competences, digital competences, STEM competences etc.
