Abstract

The topology of the Fermi surface significantly influences the transport properties of a material. Firstly measured through quantum oscillation experiments, the Fermi surfaces of crystals are now commonly characterized using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), given the larger information volume it provides. In the case of Weyl semimetals, ARPES has proven remarkably successful in verifying the existence of the Weyl points and the Fermi arcs, which define a Weyl Fermi surface. However, ARPES is limited in resolution, leading to significant uncertainty when measuring relevant features such as the distance between the Weyl points. While quantum oscillation measurements offer higher resolution, they do not reveal insights into the cross-sectional shape of a Fermi surface. Moreover, both techniques lack critical information about transport, like the carriers mean free path. Here, we report measurements unveiling the distinctive peanut-shaped cross-section of the Fermi surface of Weyl fermions and accurately determine the separation between Weyl points in the Weyl semimetal NbP. To surpass the resolution of ARPES, we combine quantum oscillation measurements with transverse electron focusing (TEF) experiments, conducted on microstructured single-crystals. The TEF spectrum relates to the Fermi surface shape, while the frequency of the quantum oscillations to its area. Together, these techniques offer complementary information, enabling the reconstruction of the distinctive Weyl Fermi surface geometry. Concurrently, we extract the electrical transport properties of the bulk Weyl fermions. Our work showcases the integration of quantum oscillations and transverse electron focusing in a singular experiment, allowing for the measurements of complex Fermi surface geometries in high-mobility quantum materials.

Abstract

In recent years an increasing number of researchers and practitioners have been suggesting algorithms for large-scale neural network architecture search: genetic algorithms, reinforcement learning, learning curve extrapolation, and accuracy predictors. None of them, however, demonstrated high-performance without training new experiments in the presence of unseen datasets. We propose a new deep neural network accuracy predictor, that estimates in fractions of a second classification performance for unseen input datasets, without training. In contrast to previously proposed approaches, our prediction is not only calibrated on the topological network information, but also on the characterization of the dataset-difficulty which allows us to re-tune the prediction without any training. Our predictor achieves a performance which exceeds 100 networks per second on a single GPU, thus creating the opportunity to perform large-scale architecture search within a few minutes. We present results of two searches performed in 400 seconds on a single GPU. Our best discovered networks reach 93.67% accuracy for CIFAR-10 and 81.01% for CIFAR-100, verified by training. These networks are performance competitive with other automatically discovered state-of-the-art networks however we only needed a small fraction of the time to solution and computational resources.

Abstract

Experimental evidence is growing, supporting the evidence of a considerable normal tissue sparing effect when treatments are delivered with dose rates much larger with respect to the conventional ones [1]. In particular, an increasing of the therapeutic window has been demonstrated for dose rates over 50 Gy/s, over a large variety of in-vivo experiments [2]. If confirmed, the ‘FLASH effect’ has the potential to re-shape the future of radiation treatments, with a significant impact on many oncology patients [3]. Ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) beams for FLASH radiotherapy present significant dosimetric challenges [4]. Ionization chambers are affected by ion recombination effects, although novel approaches for decreasing or correcting for this effect are being proposed [5]. Passive dosimeters, as radiochromic films and alanine [6], could be used for UHDR measurements, although dose determination is typically time consuming. Solid state detectors, such as diamond or Silicon Carbide (SiC) detectors, have been also recently investigated, as a valuable alternative for real-time measurements. In this work we analysed the response of alanine pellets to UHDR electron beams. Irradiations of alanine pellets with electron beams at 7 and 9 MeV, accelerated by a SIT-Sordina ElectronFlash Linac, at conventional and UHDR regimes have been carried out. Average dose rates up several hundreds of Gy/s were used for the experimental campaign, with instantaneous dose rate even more two orders of magnitudes larger. Indeed, pulse structure of the used accelerator is characterized by a pulse duration between 1-4 us and a frequency up to hundreds of Hz. The analysis of the depth dose profile performed by stacking alanine pellets along the electron beam direction allowed to evaluate whether a dependence on the dose rate is present for these UHDR beams. The experimental results were aided by computational analyses. The results will be presented and discussed in details.

Abstract

Khartoum is one of the largest cities in Africa, located immediately south of the junction of the Blue and White Nile rivers in central Sudan. The growth of the Greater Khartoum-Omdurman conurbation arose – without a proper urban plan – from the agricultural wealth created through the completion of three dams, and mostly in the last three decades. Urban expansion was enabled by and helped to enhance the major agricultural expansion of the Gezira clay plains located to the south between the lower Blue and White Nile rivers. The region has been a focus of human settlement for at least 8,000 years, initially by semi-sedentary groups with a fishing-hunting-gathering lifestyle and later by Neolithic groups as shown by hundreds of archaeological sites. Today, Khartoum is a desert city, still very vulnerable to floods triggered by intense convectional storms. Such extreme events may become more common in future, representing a major geomorphological hazard. Moreover, uncontrolled urban and agricultural development is threatening most of the cultural heritage of the region.

Abstract

Background Although children with special health care needs (CSHCN) represent a minority of the population, they go through more hospitalizations, more admissions to the Emergency Department (ED), and receive a major number of medical prescriptions, in comparison to general pediatric population. Objectives of the study were to determine the reasons for admission to the ED in Italian CSHCN, and to describe the association between patient’s demographic data, clinical history, and health services requirements. Methods Ad hoc web site was created to collect retrospective data of 3479 visits of CSHCN to the ED in 58 Italian Hospitals. Results Seventy-two percent of patients admitted to ED were affected by a previously defined medical condition. Most of the ED admissions were children with syndromic conditions (54%). 44.2% of the ED admissions were registered during the night-time and/or at the weekends. The hospitalization rate was of 45.6% among patients admitted to the ED. The most common reason for admission to the ED was the presence of respiratory symptoms (26.6%), followed by gastrointestinal problems (21.3%) and neurological disorders (18.2%). 51.4% of the access were classified as ‘urgent’, with a red/yellow triage code. Considering the type of ED, 61.9% of the visits were conducted at the Pediatric EDs (PedEDs), 33.5% at the Functional EDs (FunEDs) and 4.6% at the Dedicated EDs (DedEDs). Patients with more complex clinical presentation were more likely to be evaluated at the PedEDs. CSHCN underwent to a higher number of medical procedures at the PedEDs, more in comparison to other EDs. Children with medical devices were directed to a PedED quite exclusively when in need for medical attention. Subjects under multiple anti-epileptic drug therapy attended to PedEDs or FunEDs generally. Patients affected by metabolic diseases were more likely to look for medical attention at FunEDs. Syndromic patients mostly required medical attention at the DedEDs. Conclusions Access of CSHCN to an ED is not infrequent. For this reason, it is fundamental for pediatricians working in any kind of ED to increase their general knowledge about CHSCN and to gain expertise in the management of such patients and their related medical complexity.

Abstract

In this paper, a complete methodology to design a modular brushless wound rotor synchronous machine is proposed. From a schedule of conditions and a chosen structure (with 7 phases, 7 slots and 6 poles), a non-linear and non-convex optimization problem is defined and solved using NOMAD (a derivative free local optimization code): the external volume is minimized under some constraints, which are the average torque equal to 5 Nm, the torque ripple less than 5%, the efficiency greater than 94%, and the surface temperature less than 85 °C. The constraints have to be computed using 2D-finite element simulations in order to reduce the CPU-time consumption for each NOMAD iteration. Moreover, a relaxation of this optimization problem makes it possible to provide an efficient starting point for NOMAD. Thus, a good optimal design is obtained, and it is then validated by using 3D electromagnetic and thermic numerical methods. These numerical verifications show that, inside the end-winding, the leakage flux is high. This yields a lot of iron losses in this machine. Moreover, the surface and coil temperature differences between the 2D and 3D numerical approaches are discussed. Finally, the machine prototype is built following the optimal dimensions and a POKI-POKITM assembly technology. Preliminary experimental tests are carried out, and the results are devoted to the comparison of measured and predicted 3D numerical results.
