Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
Currently, the forest industry of the Russian Federation is experiencing difficulties with the sale of hardwood pulpwood, which necessitates the search for new technical and technological solutions for its use. The paper describes the design of wooden bricks made from hardwood. Wooden brick is made by gluing lamellas, oriented in a certain way, together into wood panels, followed by gluing the panels together through a layer of veneer. The slats and veneer are made from hardwood. The bricks have a trapezoidal shape with tenons and mortices for ease of connection when installing wall structures. The authors made an assessment of the thermal characteristics of wall structures assembled from these bricks. The calculation was performed using the example of four cities in the European part of Russia, which differ noticeably in climatic conditions. The calculation showed that for all considered climatic conditions this material is suitable for the construction of walls of buildings and structures of a lower importance class with limited service life and the presence of people in them, where there are premises with dry or normal operating mode, ensuring the level of resource saving required by construction regulations without additional insulation. In more difficult climatic operating conditions, additional insulation of facades will be required to ensure the required level of resource saving.

Three-dimensional scaffolds were made from a solution of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) mixed with tetraglycol using antisolvent 3D printing. The elastic properties and the structure of the obtained matrices were studied. MTT-test and staining with PKH-26, Calcein-AM, DAPI with subsequent fluorescence microscopy were used to study biological properties. The three-dimensional scaffolds had good mechanical properties. Young’s modulus value was 18±2 MPa, tensile strength was 0.43±0.05 MPa. The relative survival rate of cells after the first day was 99.58±2.28%, on the 14th day – 98.14±2.22%. The structure of the scaffold promoted cell adhesion and spreading on its surface. The poly(lactide-co-glycolide) matrices produced by antisolvent printing have high porosity, biocompatibility and good mechanical properties. It is allowed to use them in the future as a basis for personalized constructions for the replacement of extensive bone defects.

Nuclear Experiment - Abstract
The Majorana Demonstrator was an ultra-low-background experiment designed for neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) investigation in $^{76}$Ge. Located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, the Demonstrator utilized modular high-purity Ge detector arrays within shielded vacuum cryostats, operating deep underground. The arrays, with a capacity of up to 40.4 kg (27.2 kg enriched to $\sim 88\%$ in $^{76}$Ge), have accumulated the full data set, totaling 64.5 kg yr of enriched active exposure and 27.4 kg yr of exposure for natural detectors. Our updated search improves previously explored three-nucleon decay modes in Ge isotopes, setting new half-life limits of $1.27\times10^{26}$ years (90\% confidence level) for $^{76}$Ge($ppp$) $\rightarrow$ $^{73}$Cu e$^+\pi^+\pi^+$ and $^{76}$Ge($ppn$) $\rightarrow$ $^{73}$Zn e$^+\pi^+$. The half-life limit for the invisible tri-proton decay mode of $^{76}$Ge is found to be $1.4\times10^{25}$ yr. Furthermore, we have updated limits for corresponding multi-nucleon decays.

Quantum Physics ,Condensed Matter - Quantum Gases - Abstract
Balancing high sensitivity with a broad dynamic range (DR) is a fundamental challenge in measurement science, as improving one often compromises the other. While traditional quantum metrology has prioritized enhancing local sensitivity, a large DR is crucial for applications such as atomic clocks, where extended phase interrogation times contribute to wider phase range. In this Letter, we introduce a novel quantum deamplification mechanism that extends DR at a minimal cost of sensitivity. Our approach uses two sequential spin-squeezing operations to generate and detect an entangled probe state, respectively. We demonstrate that the optimal quantum interferometer limit can be approached through two-axis counter-twisting dynamics. Further expansion of DR is possible by using sequential quantum deamplification interspersed with phase encoding processes. Additionally, we show that robustness against detection noise can be enhanced by a hybrid sensing scheme that combines quantum deamplification with quantum amplification. Our protocol is within the reach of state-of-the-art atomic-molecular-optical platforms, offering a scalable, noise-resilient pathway for entanglement-enhanced metrology., Comment: 6+$\epsilon$ pages, 4 figures

Astrophysics - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics - Abstract
Stellar superflares are energetic outbursts of electromagnetic radiation, similar to solar flares but releasing more energy, up to $10^{36}$ erg on main sequence stars. It is unknown whether the Sun can generate superflares, and if so, how often they might occur. We used photometry from the Kepler space observatory to investigate superflares on other stars with Sun-like fundamental parameters. We identified 2889 superflares on 2527 Sun-like stars, out of 56450 observed. This detection rate indicates that superflares with energies $>10^{34}$ erg occur roughly once per century on stars with Sun-like temperature and variability. The resulting stellar superflare frequency-energy distribution is consistent with an extrapolation of the Sun's flare distribution to higher energies, so we suggest that both are generated by the same physical mechanism., Comment: Accepted for publication in Science

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
Due to its peculiar and highly variable nature, the blazar 3C 454.3 has been extensively monitored by the WEBT team. Here, we present for the first time these long-term optical flux and color variability results using data acquired in B, V, R, and I bands over a time span of $\sim$ 2 decades. We include data from WEBT collaborators and public archives such as SMARTS, Steward Observatory, and ZTF. The data are binned and segmented to study the source over this long term when more regular sampling was available. During our study, the long-term spectral variability reveals a redder when brighter (RWB) trend, which, however, stabilizes at a particular brightness cutoff $\sim$ 14.5 mag in the I-band, after which it saturates and evolves into a complex state. This trend indicates increasing jet emission dominance over accretion disk emission until jet emission completely dominates. Plots of the spectral index variation (following $F_{\nu} \propto \nu^{-\alpha}$) reveal a bimodal distribution using a one-day binning. These correlate with two extreme phases of 3C 454.3, an outburst or high flux state and quiescent or low flux state, which are respectively jet and accretion disk dominated. We have also conducted intra-day variability studies of nine light curves and found that six of them are variable. Discrete Correlation Function (DCF) analysis between different optical waveband pairs peak at zero lags, indicating co-spatial emission in different optical bands., Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, 5 tables

The BL Lac object 3C 371 is one of the targets that are regularly monitored by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration to study blazar variability on both short and long timescales. We aim to evaluate the long-term multiwavelength (MWL) behaviour of 3C 371, comparing it with the results derived for its optical emission in our previous study. For this, we make use of the multi-band campaigns organized by the WEBT Collaboration in optical and radio between January 2018 and December 2020, and of public data from Swift and Fermi satellites and the MOJAVE Very Large Interferometry programme. We evaluate the variability shown by the source in each band with the amplitude variability quantification, as well as possible interband correlation using the z-Discrete Correlation Function. We also present a deep analysis of the optical-UV, X-ray and $\gamma$-ray spectral variability. With the MOJAVE data we perform a kinematics analysis, looking for components propagating along the jet, calculating its kinematics parameters. This set of parameters is later used for the interpretation of the source MWL behaviour, modelling the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) of the source with theoretical blazar emission scenarios., Comment: Accepted in A&A, 23 pages, 15 figures

Let $X$ be a quasi-Banach space of analytic functions in the unit disc and let $q>0$. A finite positive Borel measure $\mu$ in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$ is called a $q$-reverse Carleson measure for $X$ if and only if there exists a constant $C>0$ such that $$\|f\|_{X}\leq C \|f\|_{L^q(\overline{\mathbb D},d\mu)} $$ for all $f\in X\cap C(\overline{\mathbb D})$. We fully characterize the $q$-reverse Carleson measures with all $q>0$ for Hardy spaces $H^p(\mathbb D)$ with all $0

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets from blazars. Here we report on the first X-ray polarization observation of the blazar S4 0954+65 in a high optical and X-ray state. During our multi-wavelength campaign on the source, we detected an optical flare whose peak coincided with the peak of an X-ray flare. This optical-X-ray flare most likely took place in a feature moving along the parsec-scale jet, imaged at 43 GHz by the Very Long Baseline Array. The 43 GHz polarization angle of the moving component underwent a rotation near the time of the flare. In the optical band, prior to the IXPE observation, we measured the polarization angle to be aligned with the jet axis. In contrast, during the optical flare the optical polarization angle was perpendicular to the jet axis; after the flare, it reverted to being parallel to the jet axis. Due to the smooth behavior of the optical polarization angle during the flare, we favor shocks as the main acceleration mechanism. We also infer that the ambient magnetic field lines in the jet were parallel to the jet position angle. The average degree of optical polarization during the IXPE observation was (14.3$\pm$4.1)%. Despite the flare, we only detected an upper limit of 14% (at 3$\sigma$ level) on the X-ray polarization degree; although a reasonable assumption on the X-ray polarization angle results in an upper limit of 8.8% ($3\sigma$). We model the spectral energy distribution (SED) and spectral polarization distribution (SPD) of S4 0954+65 with leptonic (synchrotron self-Compton) and hadronic (proton and pair synchrotron) models. The constraints we obtain with our combined multi-wavelength polarization observations and SED modeling tentatively disfavor hadronic models for the X-ray emission in S4 0954+65., Comment: Submitted to A&A, 16 pages, 5 figures, and 7 tables

Condensed Matter - Strongly Correlated Electrons - Abstract
Photoelectron diffraction (PED) is a powerful and essential experimental technique for resolving the structure of surfaces with sub-angstrom resolution. In the high energy regime, researchers in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) observe modulating patterns attributed to X-ray-PED (XPD) effects. This is accompanied by other challenges such as low cross-sections, significant photon momentum transfer, and non-negligible phonon scattering. Overall, XPD is not only an advantageous approach but also exhibits unexpected effects. To disentangle these diffraction influences, we present a PED implementation for the SPRKKR package that utilizes multiple scattering theory and a one-step model in the photoemission process. Unlike real-space implementations of the multiple scattering XPD formalism, we propose a k-space implementation based on the layer KKR method. The main advantage of this method is its ability to address a very broad kinetic energy range (20-8000 eV) without convergence problems related to angular momentum and cluster size. Furthermore, the so-called alloy analogy model can be used to simulate XPD at finite temperatures as well as XPD effects observed in soft and hard X-ray ARPES. For practical applications, we have calculated the circular dichroism in angular distributions (CDAD) associated with core-level photoemission of 2p from Si(100) and 3p from Ge(100). Photoelectrons are excited by hard X-rays (6000 eV) with right and left circularly polarized radiation (RCP and LCP, respectively).

High Energy Physics - Experiment ,Physics - Instrumentation and Detectors - Abstract
The magnetised near detector (ND280) of the T2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has been recently upgraded aiming to satisfy the requirement of reducing the systematic uncertainty from measuring the neutrinonucleus interaction cross section, which is the largest systematic uncertainty in the search for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation. A key component of the upgrade is SuperFGD, a 3D segmented plastic scintillator detector made of approximately 2,000,000 optically-isolated 1 cm3 cubes. It will provide a 3D image of GeV neutrino interactions by combining tracking and stopping power measurements of final state particles with sub-nanosecond time resolution. The performance of SuperFGD is characterized by the precision of its response to charged particles as well as the systematic effects that might affect the physics measurements. Hence, a detailed Geant4 based optical simulation of the SuperFGD building block, i.e. a plastic scintillating cube read out by three wavelength shifting fibers, has been developed and validated with the different datasets collected in various beam tests. In this manuscript the description of the optical model as well as the comparison with data are reported., Comment: 31 pages, 15 figures

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
Blazars are beamed active galactic nuclei known for their strong multi-wavelength variability on timescales from years down to minutes. We aim to investigate the suitability of the twisting jet model presented in previous works to explain the multi-wavelength behaviour of BL Lacertae, the prototype of one of the blazar classes. According to this model, the jet is inhomogeneous, curved, and twisting, and the long-term variability is due to changes in the Doppler factor due to variations in the orientation of the jet-emitting regions. We analysed optical data of the source obtained during monitoring campaigns organised by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) in 2019-2022, together with radio data from the WEBT and other teams, and gamma-ray data from the Fermi satellite. In this period, BL Lacertae underwent an extraordinary activity phase, reaching its historical optical and gamma-ray brightness maxima. The application of the twisting jet model to the source light curves allows us to infer the wiggling motion of the optical, radio, and gamma-ray jet-emitting regions. The optical-radio correlation shows that the changes in the radio viewing angle follow those in the optical viewing angle by about 120 days, and it suggests that the jet is composed of plasma filaments, which is in agreement with some radio high-resolution observations of other sources. The gamma-ray emitting region is found to be co-spatial with the optical one, and the analysis of the gamma-optical correlation is consistent with both the geometric interpretation and a synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) origin of the high-energy photons. We propose a geometric scenario where the jet is made up of a pair of emitting plasma filaments in a sort of double-helix curved rotating structure, whose wiggling motion produces changes in the Doppler beaming and can thus explain the observed multi-wavelength long-term variability., Comment: In press for A&A

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the first dense X-ray polarization monitoring campaign on the blazar Mrk 421. Our observations were accompanied by an even denser radio and optical polarization campaign. We find significant short-timescale variability in both X-ray polarization degree and angle, including a $\sim90^\circ$ angle rotation about the jet axis. We attribute this to random variations of the magnetic field, consistent with the presence of turbulence but also unlikely to be explained by turbulence alone. At the same time, the degree of lower-energy polarization is significantly lower and shows no more than mild variability. Our campaign provides further evidence for a scenario in which energy-stratified shock-acceleration of relativistic electrons, combined with a turbulent magnetic field, is responsible for optical to X-ray synchrotron emission in blazar jets., Comment: 23 pages, including 8 pages of appendices. 12 figures, 3 tables.

Stellar limb darkening must be properly accounted for to accurately determine the radii of exoplanets at various wavelengths. The standard approach to address limb darkening involves either using laws with coefficients from modelled stellar spectra or determining the coefficients empirically during light curve fitting of the data. Here, we test how accurately three common laws -- quadratic, power, and a three-parameter law -- can reproduce stellar limb darkening at different wavelengths and across a broad range of stars. We show that using a quadratic limb darkening law, which is most frequently employed by the community, leads to wavelength-dependent offsets in retrieved transmission spectra. For planets with high impact parameters ($b$ larger than about 0.5) the amplitude of these offsets can reach 1\% of the transit depth which is some cases is comparable to and can even exceed the expected signals from the planetary atmosphere. Furthermore, the quadratic law causes an offset in the value of the impact parameter when it is determined by fitting the broadband transit light curves. In contrast, using the Kipping--Sing three-parameter law leads to robust retrievals. We advocate the use of this law in retrievals, especially for transits with large impact parameters., Comment: submitted to ApJ

Nuclear Experiment - Abstract
$^{76}$Ge can $\beta\beta$ decay into three possible excited states of $^{76}$Se, with the emission of two or, if the neutrino is Majorana, zero neutrinos. None of these six transitions have yet been observed. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR was designed to study $\beta\beta$ decay of $^{76}$Ge using a low background array of high purity germanium detectors. With 98.2 kg-y of isotopic exposure, the DEMONSTRATOR sets the strongest half-life limits to date for all six transition modes. For $2\nu\beta\beta$ to the $0^+_1$ state of $^{76}$Se, this search has begun to probe for the first time half-life values predicted using modern many-body nuclear theory techniques, setting a limit of $T_{1/2}>1.5\times10^{24}$ y (90% CL)., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures

Observations of quasars show that the polarization position angle of the emission coming from them varies greatly over time, including periods called rotations during which the angle changes in an orderly manner. The study proposes a method for identifying such events and assessing their statistical significance. The operation of the method is demonstrated using the example of long-term polarimetric observations of the blazars CTA 102, 3C 454.3, and OT 081. During the analysis of light curves, 51 rotations of the polarization position angle were found and it was shown that for CTA 102 and 3C 454.3 the rotations are predominantly oriented in one direction., Comment: 21 pages, 12 figures

We present a comprehensive phase noise characterization of a mid-IR Cr:ZnS frequency comb. Despite their emergence as a platform for high-resolution dual-comb spectroscopy, detailed investigations into the phase noise of Cr:ZnS combs have been lacking. To address this, we use a recently proposed phase noise measurement technique that employs multi-heterodyne detection and subspace tracking. This allows for the measurement of the common mode, repetition-rate and high-order phase noise terms, and their corresponding scaling as a function of a comb-line number, using a single measurement set-up. We demonstrate that the comb under test is dominated by the common mode phase noise, while all the other phase noise terms are below the measurement noise floor (~ -120 dB rad^2/Hz), and are thereby not identifiable.

The work considers the modelling of nearby supernova (SN) effects on Earth's biosphere via cosmic rays (CRs) accelerated by shockwaves. The rise of the radiation background on Earth resulted from the external irradiation by CR high-energy particles and internal radiation in organisms by the decay of cosmogenic ${}^{14}$C is evaluated. We have taken into account that the CR flux near Earth goes up steeply when the shockwave crosses the Solar System, while in previous works the CR transport was considered as purely diffusive. Our simulations demonstrate a high rise of the external ionization of the environments at Earth's surface by atmospheric cascade particles that penetrate the first 70-100 m of water depth. Also, the cosmogenic ${}^{14}$C decay is able to irradiate the entire biosphere and deep ocean organisms. We analyzed the probable increase in mutation rate and estimated the distance between Earth and an SN, where the lethal effects of irradiation are possible. Our simulations demonstrate that for SN energy of around $10^{51}$ erg the lethal distance could be $\sim$ 18 pc.

Nuclear Experiment ,Physics - Instrumentation and Detectors - Abstract
The background index is an important quantity which is used in projecting and calculating the half-life sensitivity of neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) experiments. A novel analysis framework is presented to calculate the background index using the specific activities, masses and simulated efficiencies of an experiment's components as distributions. This Bayesian framework includes a unified approach to combine specific activities from assay. Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation is used to build a background index distribution from the specific activity, mass and efficiency distributions. This analysis method is applied to the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, which deployed arrays of high-purity Ge detectors enriched in $^{76}$Ge to search for $0\nu\beta\beta$. The framework projects a mean background index of $\left[8.95 \pm 0.36\right] \times 10^{-4}$cts/(keV kg yr) from $^{232}$Th and $^{238}$U in the DEMONSTRATOR's components., Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures

The mandible is the only movable bone of the facial bones, and is characterized by a unique anatomical structure and internal structure that provides the function of chewing, swallowing, speaking and it has a complex geometric configuration. The aim of present study was to evaluate topography and geometric shape of acquired mandibular defects and to develop objective diagnostic parameters for their preoperative assessment using multislice computed tomography, computer simulation and 3-D visualization. The material of this study was 60 patients with postoperative and post-traumatic defects of the mandible. To determine the geometric correspondence of defects of the mandible and standard bone autografts from the iliac crest and fibula on standardized mid-anatomical computer models (CAD) of the iliac and fibula bones, by virtual osteotomy, formed 3-D models of autografts to a given volume topographic and anatomical principles of their collection. Then the geometric parameters of the grafts was compared with the parameters of the jaw defects. The achieved shape will only conditionally approach the contour of the mandible, without reproducing its natural curvature. Compensation for these discrepancies is possible through the use of patient-specific anatomical fixators. Our standardized algorithm for determining the geometric parameters of the defect makes the measurement technique reproducible and easy to compare. The obtained values have a specific clinical and biological meaning. Conclusion. One of the possible ways to compensate for geometric inconsistencies is the use of combined patient-specific designs containing elements of the endoprosthesis and individualized fixator. When choosing the optimal type of bone graft, it is necessary to take into account its geometric correspondence of the defect, determined according to our proposed algorithm, as well as biomechanical and biological characteristics of the graft and recipient area.

PCA3, AMACR, PSA and GPI transcripts were detected by multiplex reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and the results were used for scores for calculation and statistical analysis.Results: There was no significant difference between clinically significant and nonsignificant prostate cancer PCA3 scores. However, there was a significant difference in the AMACR score (patients scheduled for radical prostatectomy p=0.0088, prebiopsy cohort p=0.029). We estimated AUCs, optimal cutoffs, sensitivities and specificities for PCa and csPCa detection in the prebiopsy cohort by tPSA, PCA3 score, PCPT Risk Calculator and classification models based on tPSA, PCA3 score and AMACR score. In the clinically significant prostate cancer ROC analysis, the PCA3 score AUC was 0.632 (95%CI: 0.511– 0.752), the AMACR score AUC was 0.711 (95%CI: 0.617– 0.806) and AUC of classification model based on the PCA3 score, the AMACR score and total PSA was 0.72 (95%CI: 0.58– 0.83). In addition, the correlation of the AMACR score with the ratio of total RNA and RNA of prostate cells in urine was shown (tau=0.347, p=6.542e– 09). Significant amounts of nonprostate RNA in urine may be a limitation for the AMACR score use.Conclusion: The AMACR score is a good predictor of clinically significant prostate cancer. Significant amounts of nonprostate RNA in urine may be a limitation for the AMACR score use. Evaluation of the AMACR score and classification models based on it for clinically significant prostate cancer detection with larger samples and a follow-up analysis is promising.Keywords: prostatic neoplasms, early diagnosis, neoplasm grading, alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase, RNA

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
Forces and moments acting on an AUV during its movement play a decisive role in its manoeuvrability and operational parameters. When choosing the shape of a vehicle, it is necessary to provide for obtaining acceptable hydrodynamic qualities that ensure the vital activity of a crew and the placement of equipment, which directly affects the dimensions and external outlines of an AUV. The purpose of the study was to determine the performance of the numerical model in the ANSYS software by comparing the results of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the object with experimental data and data from other studies. Hydrodynamic forces acted on the immersed body from the side of the liquid at a small immersion depth. The dependences demonstrated both qualitative and quantitative agreement between the experimental and numerical results. In general, we concluded that the proposed methodology and method of conducting model experiments and the numerical algorithm developed by us, accurately describes the process of motion of a submerged body in a near-surface water environment.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
In the winter season, we can observe the increased number of personal injuries and road vehicle accidents because of ice coating on paved roads. Surface refining from icing field involves two process operations: breaking it up and transporting the resulting segments. The basic process prevailing in cleaning effective output is the cutting process, i.e. the separation of icy fragments from the pavement with the cutting tools of special machines. The purpose of the research is to simulate the ice crust breaking influenced by the device designed by the authors. The modeling of ice flow failure is rather complicated and not a trivial task. An advanced Lagrangian model is applied in a modern software system. As a result, based on a computing model implemented in ANSYS software system, we have developed an algorithm for determining a mode of the ice crust deformation caused by the circular cutters put into it. The review of the stress strain behavior of ice crust shows that the biggest movement of ice crust fractions arises along the outline (perimeter) of discs and at the surface of the cover. The greatest equivalent stresses are observed along the disc outline (perimeter). The middle part of the disc (approaching to the centre) is nearly involved in equipment operation. The greatest displacement of icy particles is along the disc contour, while they are near zero along the edges. In the paper, we also determined recoverable and shearing deformations, regular and shear stresses in the ice crust at different thickness and movement speed of the device. The calculated motion rate and ice coating thickness at which the destructive effect is most distinctive, has been found out.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
The device for applying meliorants is designed for the distribution of nutrients, presented in liquid form, in the sublap space of a plane-cutting tillage tool. Distribution is carried out by spraying liquid meliorants, which allows you to saturate the fertile soil layer with nutrients and substances to obtain a high yield. Spraying of liquid meliorants occurs due to the directional effect of compressed air on the liquid jet, as a result of which the jet breaks up into a finely dispersed medium, which makes it possible to moisten a significant part of the plow sole and the soil layer being cut. The formed layer, when falling from the dump of the working body to the plow sole, is destroyed and a favorable condition is created for the distribution of nutrients in the treated soil layer. Also, the optimal humidity necessary for the growth of crops is normalized and preserved from volatilization.

We consider linear bounded operators acting in Banach spaces with a basis, such operators can be represented by an infinite matrix. We prove that for an invertible operator there exists a sequence of invertible finite-dimensional operators so that the family of norms of their inverses is uniformly bounded. It leads to the fact that solutions of finite-dimensional equations converge to the solution of initial operator equation with infinite-dimensional matrix., Comment: 7 pages

The screening problem for the Coulomb potential of a charge located in a two-dimensional (2D) system has an intriguing solution with a power law distance screening factor due to out-of-plane electrical fields. This is crucially different from a three-dimensional case with exponential screening. The long-range action of electric fields results in the effective inflow of electrons from high-doped regions to low-doped regions of a 2D heterostructure. In graphene and other materials with linear energy spectrum for electrons, such inflow in low-doped regions also occurs, but its effectiveness is dependent on doping level. This can be used for fabricating high-mobility conducting channels. We provide the theory for determining electron potential and concentration in a periodically doped graphene sheet along one dimension taking into account all effects of long-range 2D screening. This results in a substantially nonlinear integro-differential problem, which is solved numerically via computationally cheap algorithm. Similar nonlinear problems arise in a wide range of doped 2D heterostructures made of linear spectrum materials., Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures

We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) with six 100-ks observations spanning from 2022 March to 2023 April. Each IXPE observation was accompanied by simultaneous X-ray data from NuSTAR, Swift/XRT, and/or XMM-Newton. Complementary optical-infrared polarization measurements were also available in the B, V, R, I, and J bands, as were radio polarization measurements from 4.85 GHz to 225.5 GHz. Among the first five IXPE observations, we did not find significant variability in the X-ray polarization degree and angle with IXPE. However, the most recent sixth observation found an elevated polarization degree at $>3\sigma$ above the average of the other five observations. The optical and radio measurements show no apparent correlations with the X-ray polarization properties. Throughout the six IXPE observations, the X-ray polarization degree remained higher than, or similar to, the R-band optical polarization degree, which remained higher than the radio value. This is consistent with the energy-stratified shock scenario proposed to explain the first two IXPE observations, in which the polarized X-ray, optical, and radio emission arises from different regions., Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ

Computer Science - Computation and Language - Abstract
A query encoder of a dual passage retrieval system can be tuned for specific types of queries or domains, while the precomputed and stored documents representations are kept intact. Switching from one query encoder to another when needed is easily feasible, unlike overhauling the embeddings of a whole knowledge base. In this work we raise a question: Can the generic, original qualities of the encoder be preserved or at least left not too degraded when it is tuned on a narrow domain? We conducted experiments on a high quality multilingual embedding model: Tuning it on a single English-only dataset, we observe that the tuning not only preserves the multilingual qualities, but even improves them. The embedding qualities on distinctly different data are also improved or at least preserved. Drawing on our observations, we suggest a more general hypothesis: Tuning with intentionally low learning rate can preserve or improve a system's properties acquired in training, but not specifically targeted by tuning. We call this adiabatic tuning and provide tentative explanations.

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
Variability can be the pathway to understanding the physical processes in astrophysical jets, however, the high-cadence observations required to test particle acceleration models are still missing. Here we report on the first attempt to produce continuous, >24 hour polarization light curves of blazars using telescopes distributed across the globe and the rotation of the Earth to avoid the rising Sun. Our campaign involved 16 telescopes in Asia, Europe, and North America. We observed BL Lacertae and CGRaBS J0211+1051 for a combined 685 telescope hours. We find large variations in the polarization degree and angle for both sources in sub-hour timescales as well as a ~180 degree rotation of the polarization angle in CGRaBS J0211+1051 in less than two days. We compared our high-cadence observations to Particle-In-Cell magnetic reconnection and turbulent plasma simulations. We find that although the state of the art simulation frameworks can produce a large fraction of the polarization properties, they do not account for the entirety of the observed polarization behavior in blazar jets., Comment: 20 pages, 15 figures, 2 tables, accepted for publication in A&A.

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large number of stars. PLATO will detect small planets (down to <2 R_(Earth)) around bright stars (<11 mag), including terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. With the complement of radial velocity observations from the ground, planets will be characterised for their radius, mass, and age with high accuracy (5 %, 10 %, 10 % for an Earth-Sun combination respectively). PLATO will provide us with a large-scale catalogue of well-characterised small planets up to intermediate orbital periods, relevant for a meaningful comparison to planet formation theories and to better understand planet evolution. It will make possible comparative exoplanetology to place our Solar System planets in a broader context. In parallel, PLATO will study (host) stars using asteroseismology, allowing us to determine the stellar properties with high accuracy, substantially enhancing our knowledge of stellar structure and evolution. The payload instrument consists of 26 cameras with 12cm aperture each. For at least four years, the mission will perform high-precision photometric measurements. Here we review the science objectives, present PLATO's target samples and fields, provide an overview of expected core science performance as well as a description of the instrument and the mission profile at the beginning of the serial production of the flight cameras. PLATO is scheduled for a launch date end 2026. This overview therefore provides a summary of the mission to the community in preparation of the upcoming operational phases.

Quantum Physics - Abstract
We study optimal quantum sensing of multiple physical parameters using repeated measurements. In this scenario, the Fisher information framework sets the fundamental limits on sensing performance, yet the optimal states and corresponding measurements that attain these limits remain to be discovered. To address this, we extend the Fisher information approach with a second optimality requirement for a sensor to provide unambiguous estimation of unknown parameters. We propose a systematic method integrating Fisher information and Bayesian approaches to quantum metrology to identify the combination of input states and measurements that satisfies both optimality criteria. Specifically, we frame the optimal sensing problem as an optimization of an asymptotic Bayesian cost function that can be efficiently solved numerically and, in many cases, analytically. We refer to the resulting optimal sensor as a `quantum compass' solution, which serves as a direct multiparameter counterpart to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state-based interferometer, renowned for achieving the Heisenberg limit in single-parameter metrology. We provide exact quantum compass solutions for paradigmatic multiparameter problem of sensing two and three parameters using an SU(2) sensor. Our metrological cost function opens avenues for quantum variational techniques to design low-depth quantum circuits approaching the optimal sensing performance in the many-repetition scenario. We demonstrate this by constructing simple quantum circuits that achieve the Heisenberg limit for vector field and 3D rotations estimation using a limited set of gates available on a trapped-ion platform. Our work introduces and optimizes sensors for a practical notion of optimality, keeping in mind the ultimate goal of quantum sensors to precisely estimate unknown parameters.

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
The BL Lac object 3C 371 has been observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\textit{TESS}) for approximately a year, between July 2019 and July 2020, with an unmatched 2-minute observing cadence. In parallel, the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration organized an extensive observing campaign, providing three years of continuous optical monitoring between 2018 and 2020. These datasets allow for a thorough investigation of the variability of the source. The goal of this study is evaluating the optical variability of 3C 371. Taking advantage of the remarkable cadence of \textit{TESS} data, we aim to characterize the intra-day variability (IDV) displayed by the source and identify its shortest variability timescale. With this estimate, constraints on the size of the emitting region and black hole mass can be calculated. Moreover, WEBT data is used to investigate long-term variability (LTV), including understanding spectral behaviour of the source and the polarization variability. Based on the derived characteristics, information on the origin of the variability on different timescales is extracted. We evaluated the variability applying the variability amplitude tool that quantifies how variable the emission is. Moreover, we employed common tools like ANOVA (ANalysis Of VAariance) tests, wavelet and power spectral density (PSD) analyses to characterize the shortest variability timescales present in the emission and the underlying noise affecting the data. Short- and long-term colour behaviours have been evaluated to understand the spectral behaviour of the source. The polarized emission was analyzed, studying its variability and possible rotation patterns of the electric vector position angle (EVPA). Flux distributions of IDV and LTV were also studied with the aim of linking the flux variations to turbulent and/or accretion disc related processes., Comment: Accepted in A&A, 20 pages, 19 figures

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
PG 1553+113 is one of the few blazars with a convincing quasi-periodic emission in the gamma-ray band. The source is also a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. To better understand its properties and identify the underlying physical processes driving its variability, the MAGIC Collaboration initiated a multiyear, multiwavelength monitoring campaign in 2015 involving the OVRO 40-m and Medicina radio telescopes, REM, KVA, and the MAGIC telescopes, Swift and Fermi satellites, and the WEBT network. The analysis presented in this paper uses data until 2017 and focuses on the characterization of the variability. The gamma-ray data show a (hint of a) periodic signal compatible with literature, but the X-ray and VHE gamma-ray data do not show statistical evidence for a periodic signal. In other bands, the data are compatible with the gamma-ray period, but with a relatively high p-value. The complex connection between the low and high-energy emission and the non-monochromatic modulation and changes in flux suggests that a simple one-zone model is unable to explain all the variability. Instead, a model including a periodic component along with multiple emission zones is required., Comment: Accepted for publication in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. 19 pages, 9 figures.

Mathematics - Functional Analysis ,Mathematics - Classical Analysis and ODEs - Abstract
In this paper K closedness is proved in the case of the couple of real Hardy spaces in the corresponding couple of Lebesgue spaces. This means roughly that any measurable decomposition of an analytic function gives rise to an "analytic" decomposition with summands of roughly the same size. The proof uses Bourgain's method, the atomic decomposition for Hardy spaces and the subharmonic property of the gradient of a system of conjugate harmonic functions., Comment: 9 pages, no figures

We found that a simple property of clusters in a clustered dataset of news correlate strongly with importance and urgency of news (IUN) as assessed by LLM. We verified our finding across different news datasets, dataset sizes, clustering algorithms and embeddings. The found correlation should allow using clustering (as an alternative to LLM) for identifying the most important urgent news, or for filtering out unimportant articles., Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures, 12 tables

The most important factor for obtaining planned potato yields in rainfed farming in the forest-steppe zone of Chelyabinsk region is the availability of moisture. The yield of tubers depends on the weather conditions of the growing season by 18.7%, the density of crops - by 17.3%, varieties - by 8.4% and the use of microfertilizer Forsage by 5.1%. The level of balanced nutrition determines 46.2% of total potato yield variation and is the main factor. The yields of the studied varieties under the conditions of 2019 (HTC = 0.91) was 1.15-1.23 times higher than in 2020 (HTC = 0.85) and 1.25-1.67 times more than in the drought conditions of 2021 (HTC = 0.39). Dense planting of potatoes ensured an increase in the yield of tubers and did not affect the content of starch in the tubers. The microfertilizer Forsage increased the yield of the variety Zakhar by an average of 2.5 t/ha, Rosara - by 2.1 t/ha, Kashtak - by 2.5 t/ha compared to the control. The influence of Forsage on the starch content of tubers depended on the variety and density. The best result is provided by a combination of a dense planting, the use of varieties Zakhar and Kashtak and the use of microfertilizer Forsage.

Charge conservation and the Pauli exclusion principle result from fundamental symmetries in the standard model of particle physics, and are typically taken as axiomatic. High-precision tests for small violations of these symmetries could point to new physics. Here we consider three models for violation of these processes, which would produce detectable ionization in the high-purity germanium detectors of the Majorana Demonstrator experiment. Using a 37.5 kg yr exposure, we report a lower limit on the electron mean lifetime, improving the previous best limit for the e→νeνe¯νe decay channel by more than an order of magnitude. We also present searches for two types of violation of the Pauli exclusion principle, setting limits on the probability of an electron to be found in a symmetric quantum state.

49. Detecting stellar activity cycles in p-mode travel times: Proof of concept using SOHO/VIRGO solar observations

Astrophysics - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics - Abstract
The eleven year solar cycle is known to affect the global modes of solar acoustic oscillations. In particular, p mode frequencies increase with solar activity. We propose a new method to detect the solar cycle from the p-mode autocorrelation function, and we validate this method using VIRGO/SPM photometric time series from solar cycles 23 and 24. The p-mode autocorrelation function shows multiple wavepackets separated by time lags of $\sim$123 min. Using a one-parameter fitting method (from local helioseismology), we measure the seismic travel times from each wavepacket up to skip number 40. We find that the travel-time variations due to the solar cycle depend sensitively on the skip number, with the strongest signature in odd skips from 17 to 31. Taking the noise covariance into account, the travel-time perturbations can be averaged over all skip numbers to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. This method is robust to noise, simpler to implement than peak bagging in the frequency domain, and is promising for asteroseismology. We estimate that the activity cycle of a Sun-like star should be detectable with this new method in Kepler-like observations down to a visual magnitude of $m_K \sim 11$. However, for fainter stars, activity cycles are easier to detect in the photometric variability on rotational timescales., Comment: accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics

Optical circular polarization observations can directly test the particle composition in black holes jets. Here we report on the first observations of the BL Lac type object S4 0954+65 in high linear polarized states. While no circular polarization was detected, we were able to place upper limits of <0.5% at the 99.7% confidence. Using a simple model and our novel optical circular polarization observations we can constrain the allowed parameter space for the magnetic field strength and composition of the emitting particles. Our results favor models that require magnetic field strengths of only a few Gauss and models where the jet composition is dominated by electron-positron pairs. We discuss our findings in the context of typical magnetic field strength requirements for blazar emission models., Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, accepted for publication in A&A letters
