Generalized quantum master equations can improve the accuracy of semiclassical predictions of multitime correlation functions

Multitime quantum correlation functions are central objects in physical science, offering a direct link between the experimental observables and the dynamics of an underlying model. While experiments such as 2D spectroscopy and quantum control can now measure such quantities, the accurate simulation of such responses remains computationally expensive and sometimes impossible, depending on the system’s complexity. A natural tool to employ is the generalized quantum master equation (GQME), which can offer computational savings by extending reference dynamics at a comparatively trivial cost. However, dynamical methods that can tackle chemical systems with atomistic resolution, such as those in the semiclassical hierarchy, often suffer from poor accuracy, limiting the credence one might lend to their results. By combining work on the accuracy-boosting formulation of semiclassical memory kernels with recent work on the multitime GQME, here we show for the first time that one can exploit a multitime semiclassical GQME to dramatically improve both the accuracy of coarse mean-field Ehrenfest dynamics and obtain orders of magnitude efficiency gains.

How the INCOSE Model‐Based Capability Matrix Has Steered Model‐Based Systems Engineering Transformation at NASA

AbstractThe National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is embarking on new, complex, and diverse missions to accomplish its scientific and exploration objectives, and it views digital transformation as a key enabler for those missions. The NASA Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Leadership Team (MLT) is leading the charge in the digital transformation of the systems engineering domain at NASA, and it is using the INCOSE Model‐Based Capability Matrix (MBCM) as a roadmap. This paper discusses the modifications and tailoring of the INCOSE MBCM (Hale & Hoheb, 2020) for use at NASA, the process the team has taken on multiple rounds of assessment, findings to date, and work products that have been generated as a result of the assessment. The paper will also discuss findings and potential changes that should be made to the original product.

ICESat‐2 Onboard Flight Receiver Algorithms: On‐Orbit Parameter Updates the Impact on Science Driven Observations

AbstractThe ICESat‐2 (Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite‐2) photon‐counting laser altimeter technology required the design and development of very sophisticated onboard algorithms to collect, store and downlink the observations. These algorithms utilize both software and hardware solutions for meeting data volume requirements and optimizing the science achievable via ICESat‐2 measurements. Careful planning and dedicated development were accomplished during the pre‐launch phase of the mission in preparation for the 2018 launch. Once on‐orbit all of the systems and subsystems were evaluated for performance, including the receiver algorithms, to ensure compliance with mission standards and satisfy the mission science objectives. As the mission has progressed and the instrument performance and data volumes were better understood, there have been several opportunities to enhance ICESat‐2's contributions to Earth observation science initiated by NASA and the ICESat‐2 science community. We highlight multiple updates to the flight receiver algorithms, the onboard software for signal processing, that have extended ICESat‐2's data capabilities and allowed for advanced science applications beyond the original mission objectives.

Review of the Book by V.M.Zubok “Collapse. The Fall of the Soviet Union”.

The article considers the monograph by professor of the London School of Economics and Political Sciences V.M. Zubok “Collapse. The Fall of the Soviet Union” published in Russia in 2023. Considering that in recent years the number of works devoted to this issue has noticeably decreased, the appearance of such a thorough study is an important scientific event. The purpose of this article is to determine the author’s contribution to uncovering the problem of the USSR collapse. This monograph is considered in the general context of modern scientific issues devoted to the collapse of the USSR. The expert assessment is based on the following criteria: scientific objectivity, the nature of the sources and literature used, the structure of presentation and the general intent of the work. Based on the analysis of the V.M. Zubok’s monograph, it can be concluded that this work represents a fundamental historical and political science study. The author uses a huge number of diverse (and in many ways unique) sources, while focusing on personal materials (memoirs, interviews). This approach helps to understand the subjective (hidden) mechanisms of making certain fateful decisions. The undoubted advantages of the study include a comprehensive consideration of the economic, political, and national processes that took place in the late USSR, considering the foreign policy factor that influenced the fate of the Soviet Union. The main reason for the fall of the Soviet Union according to V.M. Zubok are reforms that were extremely unsuccessful and not suitable for the Soviet state, given the uniqueness and specificity of the country. In addition to the mistakes of the top leadership, the author places great responsibility for the fall of the USSR on the “Western partners” of Gorbachev (primarily the USA). The George W. Bush administration could, if it wanted, save the USSR by providing large-scale financial and economic assistance. However, as the author proves, the United States did not intend to do this, patiently watching the collapse of its strategic enemy. Therefore, Zubok’s study helps to better understand the meaning of modern Russian policy aimed at not repeating the mistakes of perestroika.

VICR: A Novel Software for Unbiased Video and Image Analysis in Scientific Research.

In scientific research, objectivity and unbiased data analysis is crucial for the validity and reproducibility of outcomes. This is particularly important for studies involving video or image categorization. A common approach of decreasing the bias is delegating data analysis to researchers unfamiliar with the experimental settings. However, this requires additional personnel and is prone to cognitive biases. Here we describe the Video & Image Cutter & Randomizer (VICR) software (https://github.com/kkihnphd/VICR), designed for unbiased analysis by segmenting and then randomizing videos or still images. VICR allows a single researcher to conduct and analyze studies in a blinded manner, eliminating the bias in analysis and streamlining the research process. We describe the features of the VICR software and demonstrate its capabilities using zebrafish behavior studies. To our knowledge, VICR is the only software for the randomization of video and image segments capable of eliminating bias in data analysis in a variety of research fields.

Depopulation as a Long-term Policy Problem: From Dilemmas to Strategies

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The scientific objective of this article is to analyse strategies for urban decision-makers to address the dilemmas of depopulation. The theoretical framework for the article is the typology of long-term policy problem-solving dilemmas by Pot et al. (2022). THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The authors answer the question of how public administration officials are responding to the challenge of regional depopulation, what dilemmas they face in the process, and whether patterns can be detected in their preferred solutions. To answer these questions, the authors rely on qualitative research findings ‒ in-depth interviews (IDI) performed with mayors of Polish cities liable to depopulation and their direct subordinates. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: How policymakers navigate specific long-term challenges is contingent upon, inter alia, their resolution of the ensuing pivotal dilemmas. RESEARCH RESULTS: The strategies followed by municipalities are strongly affected by contextual factors inclusive of the monetary scenario, the character of the metropolis and its hyperlinks with other city centres, the connection with the government, or even the management style represented by means of the mayor. An aggregate of 3 styles seems to predominate, i.e. making an investment in targets, the responsive, and the reactive ones. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Two challenges, which we call meta-dilemmas, are particularly relevant for local government in Poland: the meta-dilemma of defining the functions of local government and the dilemma of agency. Resolving them determines the decision of policy when dealing with strategic dilemmas.

Cross-correlation Techniques to Mitigate the Interloper Contamination for Line Intensity Mapping Experiments

Line intensity mapping (LIM) serves as a potent probe in astrophysics, relying on the statistical analysis of integrated spectral line emissions originating from distant star-forming galaxies. While LIM observations hold the promise of achieving a broad spectrum of scientific objectives, a significant hurdle for future experiments lies in distinguishing the targeted spectral line emitted at a specific redshift from undesired line emissions originating at different redshifts. The presence of these interloping lines poses a challenge to the accuracy of cosmological analyses. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to quantify line–line cross-correlations (LIM-LLX), enabling us to investigate the target signal amid instrumental noise and interloping emissions. For example, at a redshift of z ∼ 3.7, we observed that the measured auto-power spectrum of C ii 158 exhibited substantial bias, from interloping line emission. However, cross-correlating C ii 158 with CO(6–5) lines using an FYST-like experiment yielded a promising result, with a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼10. This measurement is notably unbiased. Additionally, we explore the extensive capabilities of cross-correlation by leveraging various CO transitions to probe the tomographic Universe at lower redshifts through LIM-LLX. We further demonstrate that incorporating low-frequency channels, such as 90 and 150 GHz, into FYST’s EoR-Spec-like experiment can maximize the potential for cross-correlation studies, effectively reducing the bias introduced by instrumental noise and interlopers.

Polymethylene trisulfide/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite electrodes: Deciphering microstructure/electrochemistry relationship

Flexible polysulfide electrodes can play a crucial role in the future development of wearable energy storage devices. Understanding the electrochemical energy storage mechanism in these electrodes can guide the engineering of polysulfides and their composites to design high-performance flexible energy storage devices. Polymethylene trisulfide (PMTS) and PMTS/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites, synthesized via in-situ interfacial polymerization, are introduced as active materials for developing high-performance electrodes. The fundamental scientific objective of this study is to uncover the correlation between the microstructural properties of linear polysulfides and the electrochemical behavior of low molecular weight intermediate polysulfide species. Based on microstructural studies, Coulomb interactions between rGO and PMTS macromolecules dictate PMTS chain confinements. Such molecular confinements affect the glass transition temperature and the crystallinity of PMTS, hence controlling the electrochemistry of electrodes. A high specific capacity of 366 mAh/g (5 μA) is reached using the flexible PMTS/0.5 wt% rGO nanocomposite electrode in Li-PMTS cells. The suggested mechanism for the anodic and cathodic polarizations in Li-PMTS cells is based on the formation of low molecular weight sulfide polymeric species. Therefore, the crystallinity and moveability of polymeric chains are introduced as structural features of polysulfide electrodes that can be utilized to improve the performance of energy storage systems based on these active materials.

Applications of Ground-Penetrating Radar in Asteroid and Comet Exploration

Nowadays, asteroid and comet exploration is one of the most important components of deep space exploration. Through asteroid and comet exploration missions, it is possible to reveal the history of the formation and evolution of the solar system, to understand the origin and evolution of the planets, and to improve scientific models and instruments. As a payload with the advantages of non-destructive, penetrating, and polarizing characteristics, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been widely used in lunar and Mars exploration, and will play an important role in planned asteroid and comet exploration missions. In this study, statistics on asteroid and comet exploration missions, scientific results, and space-based ground-penetrating radar (SB-GPR) utilization are presented for the three phases to date. According to the statistics, SB-GPR will play an important role in future Phase 2 and 3 missions. The focus of this study is on analyzing the mission flow, SB-GPR parameters, scientific objectives, and scientific results of the missions that have carried SB-GPR and those that are planned to carry SB-GPR, including the Hera, Rosetta, Castalia, and Tianwen-2 missions. On this basis, the development trends of asteroid and comet exploration missions, as well as the future development trends of SB-GPR design and signal interpretation, are discussed.

ICDP workshop on the Deep Drilling in the Turkana Basin project: exploring the link between environmental factors and hominin evolution over the past 4 Myr

Abstract. Scientific drill cores provide unique windows into the processes of the past and present. In the dynamic tectonic, environmental, climatic, and ecological setting that is eastern Africa, records recovered through scientific drilling enable us to look at change through time in unprecedented ways. Cores from the East African Rift System can provide valuable information about the context in which hominins have evolved in one of the key regions of hominin evolution over the past 4 Myr. The Deep Drilling in the Turkana Basin (DDTB) project seeks to explore the impact of several types of evolution (tectonic, climatic, biological) on ecosystems and environments. This includes addressing questions regarding the region's complex and interrelated rifting and magmatic history, as well as understanding processes of sedimentation and associated hydrothermal systems within the East African Rift System. We seek to determine the relative impacts of tectonic and climatic evolution on eastern African ecosystems. We ask the follow questions: what role (if any) did climate change play in the evolution of hominins? How can our understanding of past environmental change guide our planning for a future shaped by anthropogenic climate change? To organize the scientific community's goals for deep coring in the Turkana Basin, we hosted a 4 d ICDP supported workshop in Nairobi, Kenya, in July 2022. The team focused on how a 4 Myr sedimentary core from the Turkana Basin will uniquely address key scientific research objectives related to basin evolution, paleoclimate, paleoenvironment, and modern resources. Participants also discussed how DDTB could collaborate with community partners in the Turkana Basin, particularly around the themes of access to water and education. The team concluded that collecting the proposed Pliocene to modern record is best accomplished through a two-phase drilling project with a land-based transect of four cores spanning the interval from 4 Ma to the Middle–Late Pleistocene (< 0.7 Ma) and a lake-based core targeting the interval from ∼ 1 Ma to present. The second phase, while logistically more challenging due to the lack of drilling infrastructure currently on Lake Turkana, would revolutionize our understanding of a significant interval in the evolution and migration of Homo sapiens for a time period not currently accessible from the Kenyan part of the Turkana Basin. Collectively, the DDTB project will provide exceptional tectonic and climatic data directly associated with one of the world's richest hominin fossil localities.

Are Preprints a Threat to the Credibility and Quality of Artificial Intelligence Literature in the ChatGPT Era? A Scoping Review and Qualitative Study

ChatGPT, as the pioneer of advanced generative AI tools, has triggered scholarly discussions about the potential use of such AI technologies in interdisciplinary fields. With a focus on the surge of AI-related preprints since the introduction of ChatGPT by OpenAI, the study investigated what the surge implies for AI literature, particularly in terms of credibility and quality. A scoping review was initially conducted to study the characteristics of the AI-related preprints in the Web of Science (WoS) database and also in five (5) preprint platforms (ArXiv, MedRxiv, SocArxiv, SSRN, and Research Square). The publication date range was set at January 01, 2023 to September 08, 2023. This was followed up by an interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) of the perceptions of experts in the AI field about the preprints. Employing a scoping review of AI-related preprints across six databases and a qualitative analysis of 15 AI experts’ opinions, our study reveals concerns about the research accuracy, quality, and credibility of preprints, and advocates for a robust evaluation and high-quality assurance process to promote open science objectives during their dissemination. Specifically, 45,918 AI-related preprints were found in the six preprint databases or repositories across different fields. The nine themes from the IPA showed that preprints can be of value. However, experts advocated for the safe and responsible use of AI-related preprints, involving such tenets as maintaining ethical integrity and high-quality work on the part of authors and establishing sound AI-content guidelines from publishers and editors. Future studies are recommended to investigate the impact of preprints on decision-making processes in educational research and practice.

Монастирі та чернецтво Київської єпархії синодального періоду: регламентація діяльності в системі російського церковного законодавства

The article aims to specify the status of Orthodox monasteries and monasticism in the Kyiv eparchy between the 19th and early 20th centuries within the framework of the then-existing Russian church legislation. Research methodology is grounded in the principles of historicism and scientific objectivity, using critical, systematic and comparative analysis of sources. These methods and principles have enabled a comprehensive study of various phenomena in their dynamics and totality, taking into account all conflicting factors. By employing these diverse methods, the study has traced the impact of Russian church legislation on events and processes regulating the activities of monasteries and monasticism in the Kyiv eparchy during the synodal period. Conclusions. The 18th-century reforms in the Russian Empire’s ecclesiastical sphere designated the Holy Governing Synod as the legislative authority over the Orthodox Church, fully subordinating it to the Russian imperial government. During this century, church legislation was established, which, with minor modifications and additions, remained in effect throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries and applied to Ukrainian Orthodox eparchies. The 18th century marked a period of profound and comprehensive transformations in the history of monasteries and monasticism, characterized by strict regulation of monastic life, daily routines and the rights of the inhabitants. The primary feature of church-state relations in the 19th and early 20th centuries was the state’s total control over the Church’s affairs. The Holy Synod controlled matters such as the establishment of new monasteries, granting them status, accepting individuals into monasticism and determining the number of monastics. The monasteries of the Kyiv eparchy during this period were managed by the eparchial bishop and were entitled to elect an abbot, who was then approved by the Holy Synod through its decree. Monasteries, both male and female, were classified into three categories, either communal or non-communal, with a clearly defined monastic staff determined by the Synod.

Парки-пам’ятки садово-паркового мистецтва Вінниччини як об’єкти історико-культурного туризму

The purpose of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the study of parks as monuments of landscape art in Vinnytsia region. Attention is focused on historical and cultural tourism, the purpose of which is to visit places related to history and historical heritage, which includes such objects as palace and park ensembles, historical buildings, and natural monuments of the native land. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, scientific objectivity, and systematicity. The purpose and objectives of the study led to the use of general scientific and special historical methods. The former include the methods of analysis and synthesis (of historical facts and sources), comparison and generalization in drawing conclusions. Among the historical methods is the chronological method, which allowed us to study the process of development of landscape gardening in Ukraine and in Vinnytsia region in chronological order. We also used the following methods: regional (which allowed us to trace the regional peculiarities of the region), problematic-chronological, comparative-historical. The scientific novelty of the study is that the information about parks as monuments of landscape gardening art of Vinnytsia region is comprehensively systematized. The main objects of garden and park tourism of national and local importance are characterized. Conclusions. Parks adorn the Vinnytsia land, have great natural, historical, scientific, educational, recreational, tourist and aesthetic significance, and are an integral part of the cultural heritage of our people. For this reason, they should be considered as important objects of tourist activity in the region. The article covers the history of the parks: Antopilskyi, Verkhivskyi, Nemerchenskyi, Nemyrovskyi, Obodivskyi, Tyvrivskyi, Cherniatynskyi, Pecherskyi and Tulchynskyi. Each of these parks-monuments of landscape art has its own past, associated with historical events, prominent personalities who visited it, legends and stories. The parks have preserved valuable plantings and architectural and artistic monuments that are important not only historically but also have a certain significance for contemporary practice. The main purpose of parks-monuments of landscape art is to preserve, maintain and restore park landscape compositions, as well as to conduct excursions and public recreation. Their territories can also be used for scientific research. They combine environmental protection functions with historical, tourist, cultural, and aesthetic ones. That is why they deserve special attention, care, maintenance and protection.

Іоаникіївська богадільня в Богуславі (за матеріалами «Київських єпархіальних відомостей»)

The objective of the article is to investigate the history of the establishment and activities of the Ioanykiivskyi Almshouse based on materials from the journal «Kyiv Diocesan News». The methodological framework of the study is based on general scientific principles of scientific validity, objectivity, systematicity, structuralism, historicism, and methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, and application aimed at comprehensive coverage of facts and phenomena, the use of reliable, verified information, and presenting the material in a clear sequence. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the study and systematization of reports from the Ioanykiivskyi Almshouse, which were submitted for consideration at diocesan congresses and published in the journal «Kyiv Diocesan News», helping to form an understanding of the establishment and functioning of the shelter as an important component of the social protection system for lonely, disadvantaged representatives of the clergy and the charitable activities of the Orthodox Church as a whole. Conclusions. Within the social welfare system of the Orthodox Church, particular support was needed for lonely and disadvantaged members of the clergy, especially widows and orphans. Thanks to a donation of 50,000 rubles from Metropolitan Ioanykii, who transferred it to the Kyiv Diocesan Guardianship, the idea of establishing an almshouse named after the benefactor became feasible. The shelter was located in the premises of a former theological school in the town of Bohuslav, Kaniv County. Admission to the shelter was upon request to the diocesan guardianship with mandatory certification by the local charitable council. When vacancies were available, individuals from the clergy were admitted to the almshouse for a fee, which was used for the needs of the shelter. Several dozen individuals, mostly women, were constantly residing in the institution. The funding for the shelter was provided from the interest on the Ioanykiivskyi capital. The rules for staying in the almshouse and the work schedule were regulated by the provisions. Over time, the living conditions in the shelter improved, funds were allocated for repairs, and medical assistance. The question of opening a school for children was constantly raised, as envisaged by the provisions, but due to a lack of funds, this was never realized.

Heinz von Foerster's operational epistemology: orientation for insight into complexity

PurposeBased on the reception of the principle of self-organization, the core of Heinz von Foerster's operational theories, I hypothesize how Heinz von Foerster's theory can be an orientation model for the epistemological problem of complexity. I have chosen this study to demonstrate complexity as an epistemological problem. This is because the question of how order arises - the core problem of complexity - is an epistemological question for which Heinz von Foerster developed an epistemology of self-organization. I do not present new research because HvF already had the complex organization of systems in mind. Rather, I build a critical approach to complexity on the research and work on operational epistemology in HvF.Design/methodology/approachThis article aims to provide an orientation for a philosophical and epistemological understanding of complexity through a reading of Heinz von Foerster's operational theory. The article attempts to establish complexity as an epistemological phenomenon through the following method: (1) a conceptual description of the science of complexity based on the turn to thermodynamic time, (2) a genealogy of complexity going back to the systemic method, and (3) Heinz von Foerster's cybernetic approach to self-organization.FindingsBased on the reception of the principle of self-organization, the core of Heinz von Foerster's operational theories, the conclusion is drawn that complexity as a description is based on language games.Research limitations/implicationsThe results present complexity not as an object of science, but as a description that stands for the understanding of complex description.Social implicationsThe hypothesis that complexity is a question of description or observation, i.e. of description for what language serves, has enormous social implications, in that the description of complexes and the recognition of their orders (patterns) cannot be left to algorithmic governmentality, but must be carried out by a social agency.Originality/valueHvF's operational epistemology can serve as an epistemological model for critical complexity theory.

Landing site choice for Luna-27 mission in the Moon South Polar Region

In this study, we examine the Russian automatic lunar missions “Luna-25,” “Luna-26,” and the scientific objectives and landing site of the “Luna-27″ spacecraft. The landing of “Luna-27″ is planned directly in the South Polar region, which, due to ballistic and engineering requirements, is confined to a sector extending from 51°E to 1°W in longitude and from 83°S to 79°S in latitude. This area is characterized by complex terrain, and to identify suitable landing territories, a suitability map has been created that takes into account the distribution of slopes, the degree of illumination, and visibility of Earth. A total of five sites measuring 30 × 15 km (landing ellipse) within the considered region meet such scientific and technical requirements as slope distributions of less than 7–10°, sunlight illumination of more than 35 %, and Earth visibility of more than 50 %. All landing sites are ranked by priority from 1 to 5 depending on the content of water equivalent of hydrogen (WEH) in the lunar soil. Site №1, by its characteristics, is considered the best and may be chosen as the primary landing site, while sites №2 and №3 could serve as backups. It is demonstrated that with increased landing precision, with a deviation probability from the given point up to 0.5 km, the number of suitable landing sites satisfying primarily scientific rather than engineering-technical safety criteria, which are also inherently met, significantly increases.

Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation of Collapse Risk in Mountain Tunnels Based on Game Theory

In view of the problem that mountain tunnel construction is prone to collapse risk and disaster accidents, this paper proposes a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method based on CRITIC and D-AHP combined weighting, which can effectively improve the accuracy of mountain tunnel collapse risk evaluation and reduce construction risks. This method combines the improved subjective weighting method D-number analytic hierarchy process and the more scientific and reasonable objective weighting method CRITIC method for combined weighting and uses game theory to optimize the weights, which improves its accuracy compared to traditional evaluation methods and makes up for the lack of subjective and objective weighting of a single evaluation method. The results show that the introduction of the D-number theory can reduce the impact of an uncertain environment on the evaluation results. The risk levels of the sample sections are all between three and four, which is consistent with the actual situation of the project, indicating that the evaluation model is feasible.
