Summary: We demonstrate the electrostatic control of quasiparticle poisoning in superconducting devices using single-charge tunneling across a fixed barrier onto a Coulomb island. High-bandwidth charge sensing is used to monitor the charge occupancy of the island, and electrostatic gates are shown to significantly affect the tunneling rates by two orders of magnitude. The gate dependence of the superconducting gap size and softness on the island is corroborated by separate density-of-states measurements.

Summary: Superconducting devices based on Cooper pairing of electrons are limited by spurious quasiparticle excitations, but experimental demonstration shows the possibility of devices operating without quasiparticles and potentially improved performance. The study also probes the origins of nonequilibrium quasiparticles in the device.

Summary: This study proposes a caching approach for IoT data based on data lifetime and node position to improve caching performance. By classifying data based on its lifecycle and selecting suitable nodes for caching, the efficiency of caching can be improved. The proposed method shows lower delay and higher hit ratio in simulation experiments.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to propose an evaluation indicator for the fattening efficiency of commercial pigs and analyze the main factors affecting it. The study compared and analyzed the productive performance of piglets from different sources in 2020 and 2021. The results showed that average daily gain, feed conversion rate, survival rate, number of deaths, feeding days, and body weight of marketing pigs were the main factors correlated with fattening efficiency.

Summary: An analysis of the forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) in the decay B-+/- -> (KKK +/-)-K-+/--K--/+ is carried out based on the LHCb data. It is found that the large FBA observed for the invariant mass of the K+ K- pair around 1.5 GeV can be explained by the interference of amplitudes between resonances with even and odd spins, contradicting previous experimental conclusions. The analysis also suggests the existence of a spin-odd resonance, rho(0)(1450), in this decay channel.

Summary: Mummified piglets are a major cause of fertility loss and reproductive impairment in pigs, but the influence of genomic variation on their emergence is rarely studied. This study used a single-step genome-wide association study (ssGWAS) to investigate the genetic architecture of mummified piglets in sows of parity 1-3. The results identified significant SNPs associated with mummified piglets in different pig breeds and highlighted the role of candidate genes in fetal and maternal diseases.

Summary: This paper investigates the relationship between edge entanglement entropy and topological properties in non-Hermitian systems, and extends it to non-Hermitian interacting systems. It is found that the presence of interactions weakens the breakdown of the bulk-boundary correspondence.

Summary: The study obtained the PT threshold for a one-dimensional, finite Kitaev chain and identified a rich phase diagram for the threshold, which can be qualitatively understood in relation to the band structure of the Hermitian Kitaev model. The findings include a re-entrant PT-symmetric phase bounded by second-order exceptional point contours for an even chain with zero on-site potential.

Summary: The electronic dynamics in Nb2n+1SinTe4n+2 were systematically investigated by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). The non-decay standing wave at the Fermi level confirmed the one-dimensional nature of the charge carriers in the material. The energy and component dependence of phase relaxation length and lifetime of one-dimensional holes were consistent with the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory. This work demonstrates Nb2n+1SinTe4n+2 as a platform for manipulating one-dimensional physics and provides an alternative perspective for studying the electronic dynamics of non-Fermi liquids through STM experiments.

Summary: Individuals born very preterm or very low birthweight have higher odds of meeting criteria for certain psychiatric disorders, including ASD, ADHD, anxiety disorder, and mood disorder, compared to term-born, normal birthweight controls. Further research is needed to confirm these results and identify underlying factors associated with psychiatric disorders in this population.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of a one-dimensional tight-binding model in the presence of a defect, and finds that the linear and nonlinear Drude weights determined by the Kohn formula depend on the Aharonov-Bohm flux and diverge in proportion to the system size. The problem is attributed to the different order of limits. The study emphasizes the importance of low-energy excitations in regularizing the bulk Drude weight, which is defined by taking the thermodynamic limit before the zero-frequency limit.

Summary: Compared with a qubit, a qudit provides a larger Hilbert space for information storage and processing. This work proposes a simple method to realize a hybrid quantum controlled-sum gate using a superconducting qutrit and a cat-state qutrit, forming a universal set of ternary logic gates for quantum computing with qutrits. The proposal is based on circuit QED and employs a dispersive coupling between a superconducting ququart and a microwave cavity. The gate operation is simple and does not require classical pulse or measurement. The feasibility of generating a hybrid maximally entangled state and its experimental implementation are also discussed.

Summary: Brain signals can be measured using multiple imaging modalities, which provide valuable insight into brain function. A data-driven approach is useful for multimodal fusion, but existing methods cannot discover one-to-many associations, highlighting the need for new techniques to address this limitation.

Summary: Motivated by recent measurements, this study provides a detailed analysis of electric dipole (E1) transition amplitudes in various alkali-metal atoms and alkali-metal-like ions. The high-precision calculations using the correlation potential method demonstrate excellent agreement with experimental determinations and other theoretical evaluations. Moreover, the study extracts high-precision values for several E1 amplitudes through the combination of branching ratio calculations and recent measurements.

Summary: Meeting the water requirements of fattening pigs is crucial for successful animal husbandry. This study evaluated the water consumption of modern fattening pigs and compared it with predicted values using equations from the literature. The measured water consumption was generally higher than the calculated one, leading to the development of six new equations for predicting water consumption.

Summary: The study found that over time, PWM and PBA in Spanish sow herds have been increasing, and there is a closer association between PWM and PBA in small-to-mid sized herds. Additionally, the impact of decreasing PWM on increasing herd productivity is more significant in large herds.

Summary: This study identified the critical weeks for heat stress effects on sow fertility performance, finding that the periods 1-3 weeks before breeding and 2-3 weeks before farrowing were the most significant. Additionally, there were differences in heat stress effects and thresholds between sows of different parities, with higher parity sows being more affected by heat stress.
