"Shutdowns are often the result of someone feeling so frustrated that they could melt down, but knowing that to do so would be even worse, but that they can avoid dealing with other people’s reactions to that if they manage to stay in control enough to do nothing but bottle it up.
Whichever way they go, meltdowns and shutdowns take a huge mental and physical toll, and require substantial recovery time. Some autistic people report feeling their after-effects for days afterwards, and in some cases losing abilities they previously had for even longer.
Autistic burnout is something like a long-term counterpart to a shutdown: the cumulative effects of pushing beyond your capacities for too long, usually because you don’t feel like you have much of a choice. Society demands that we carry on, however hard it is – often while insisting that it’s easy, and we’re surely just not really trying. At some point, we just… can’t, any more. We find ourselves perpetually exhausted, our cognitive abilities chronically impaired – often with heightened sensitivities and a reduced a ability to socialise."

Intrinsic and extrinsic photogalvanic effects in twisted bilayer graphene
The chiral lattice structure of twisted bilayer graphene with D6 symmetry allows for intrinsic photogalvanic effects only at off-normal incidence, while additional extrinsic effects are known to be induced by a substrate or a gate potential. In this work, we first compute the intrinsic effects and show they reverse sign at the magic angle, revealing a band inversion at the Γ point. We next consider different extrinsic effects, showing how they can be used to track the strengths of the substrat…

Human Curriculum Effects Emerge with In-Context Learning in Neural Networks
Human learning is sensitive to rule-like structure and the curriculum of examples used for training. In tasks governed by succinct rules, learning is more robust when related examples are blocked across trials, but in the absence of such rules, interleaving is more effective. To date, no neural model has simultaneously captured these seemingly contradictory effects. Here we show that this same tradeoff spontaneously emerges with "in-context learning" (ICL) both in neural networks trained with m…

Analyzing Cross-Phase Effects of Reactive Power Intervention on Distribution Voltage Control
Increasing photovoltaic (PV) penetration in the distribution system can often lead to voltage violations. Mitigation of these violations requires reactive power intervention from PV inverters. However, the unbalanced nature of the distribution system leads to mixed effects on the voltages of nearby nodes for each inverter injecting or absorbing reactive power. In particular, reactive power absorption to reduce over-voltage in one phase can exacerbate over-voltage in a different phase. In this p…

Rapid signal fluctuations due to blockage effects cause excessive handovers (HOs) and degrade mobility performance. By reconfiguring line-of-sight (LoS) Links through passive reflections, intelligent reflective surface (IRS) has the potential to address this issue. Due to the lack of introducing blocking effects, existing HO analyses cannot capture excessive HOs or exploit enhancements via IRSs.

Cooperative effects of multiple quantum emitters are characterized by transitions via delocalized collective states with altered emission properties due to the existence of inter-emitter coherences. When realized with excitonic condensed matter nanostructures, these effects are significantly affected by the presence of strong emitter-phonon coupling, which leads to the formation of polarons. We show that, while for single-emitter emission into free space this formation has no impact on its radi…

Regression Discontinuity Design with Spillovers

arXiv:2404.06471v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Researchers who estimate treatment effects using a regression discontinuity design (RDD) typically assume that there are no spillovers between the treated and control units. This may be unrealistic. We characterize the estimand of RDD in a setting where spillovers occur between units that are close in their values of the running variable. Under the assumption that spillovers are linear-in-means, we show that the estimand depends on the ratio of two terms: (1) the radius over which spillovers occur and (2) the choice of bandwidth used for the local linear regression. Specifically, RDD estimates direct treatment effect when radius is of larger order than the bandwidth, and total treatment effect when radius is of smaller order than the bandwidth. In the more realistic regime where radius is of similar order as the bandwidth, the RDD estimand is a mix of the above effects. To recover direct and spillover effects, we propose incorporating estimated spillover terms into local linear regression -- the local analog of peer effects regression. We also clarify the settings under which the donut-hole RD is able to eliminate the effects of spillovers.

Together, this data is unified in transseries that describe the nonperturbative structure. It is known that large order relations themselves also take the form of transseries. We study these large order transseries, uncover an interesting underlying geome…

Estimating Causal Effects of Discrete and Continuous Treatments with Binary Instruments
We propose an instrumental variable framework for identifying and estimating average and quantile effects of discrete and continuous treatments with binary instruments. The basis of our approach is a local copula representation of the joint distribution of the potential outcomes and unobservables determining treatment assignment. This representation allows us to introduce an identifying assumption, so-called copula invariance, that restricts the local dependence of the copula with respect to th…

Pareto-Optimal Estimation and Policy Learning on Short-term and Long-term Treatment Effects
This paper focuses on developing Pareto-optimal estimation and policy learning to identify the most effective treatment that maximizes the total reward from both short-term and long-term effects, which might conflict with each other. For example, a higher dosage of medication might increase the speed of a patient's recovery (short-term) but could also result in severe long-term side effects. Although recent works have investigated the problems about short-term or long-term effects or the both, …

Non-extensive Effects on the QCD Equation of State and Fluctuations of Conserved Charges within Polyakov Quark Meson Model
The influence of non-extensive Tsallis statistics on the hadron phase structure has been investigated using the Polyakov-quark-meson (PQM) model. The analysis examines the non-extensive effects on the temperature dependence of PQM order parameters, thermodynamic quantities related to the QCD equation of state, and fluctuations of conserved charges at varying chemical potentials. The results show that non-extensive effects have the most significant deviations near the crossover region. The pseud…

Phononic bright and dark states: Investigating multi-mode light-matter interactions with a single trapped ion
Interference underpins some of the most practical and impactful properties of both the classical and quantum worlds. In this work we experimentally investigate a new formalism to describe interference effects, based on collective states which have enhanced or suppressed coupling to a two-level system. We employ a single trapped ion, whose electronic state is coupled to two of the ion's motional modes in order to simulate a multi-mode light-matter interaction. We observe the emergence of phononi…

Adaptive morphing of wing and tail for stable, resilient, and energy-efficient flight of avian-informed drones
Avian-informed drones feature morphing wing and tail surfaces, enhancing agility and adaptability in flight. Despite their large potential, realising their full capabilities remains challenging due to the lack of generalized control strategies accommodating their large degrees of freedom and cross-coupling effects between their control surfaces. Here we propose a new body-rate controller for avian-informed drones that uses all available actuators to control the motion of the drone. The method e…

Extract Mechanisms from Heterogeneous Effects: Identification Strategy for Mediation Analysis
Understanding causal mechanisms is essential for explaining and generalizing empirical phenomena. Causal mediation analysis offers statistical techniques to quantify mediation effects. However, existing methods typically require strong identification assumptions or sophisticated research designs. We develop a new identification strategy that simplifies these assumptions, enabling the simultaneous estimation of causal and mediation effects. The strategy is based on a novel decomposition of total…

Weyl geometric effects on the propagation of light in gravitational fields
We consider the effects of Weyl geometry on the propagation of electromagnetic waves and on the gravitational spin Hall effect of light. It is usually assumed that in vacuum the electromagnetic waves propagate along null geodesics, a result which follows from the geometrical optics approximation. However, this model is valid only in the limit of infinitely high frequencies. At large but finite frequencies, the ray dynamics is affected by the wave polarization. Therefore, the propagation of the …

Machine learning the breakdown of tame effective theories
Effective field theories endowed with a nontrivial moduli space may be broken down by several, distinct effects as the energy scales that are probed increase. These may include the appearance of a finite number of new states, or the emergence of an infinite tower of states, as predicted by the Distance Conjecture. Consequently, the moduli space can be partitioned according to which kind of state first breaks down the effective description, and the effective-theory cutoff has to be regarded as a…

Spatially resolving the AGB star V3 in the metal-poor globular cluster 47 Tuc with VLTI/GRAVITY
Mass loss at the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) plays an important role not only in the final fates of stars, but also in the chemical evolution of galaxies. Nevertheless, the metallicity effects on AGB mass loss are not yet fully understood. We present spatially resolved observations of an AGB star, V3, in the metal-poor globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104). The AGB star 47 Tuc V3 was observed using the GRAVITY instrument at ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at 2-2.45 micron with a …

Effects of a dark matter caustic passing through the Oort Cloud
We investigate the effect of a dark matter caustic passing through the Solar System. We find, confirming a previous result, that the Sun tracks the caustic surface for some time. We integrate numerically the equations of motion of the Sun and a comet for a large number of initial conditions and of caustic passage properties. We calculate the probability for the comet to escape the Solar System and the probability for it to fall within 50 A.U. of the Sun, given the initial semi-major axis and ec…

Testing for Peer Effects without Specifying the Network Structure
This paper proposes an Anderson-Rubin (AR) test for the presence of peer effects in panel data without the need to specify the network structure. The unrestricted model of our test is a linear panel data model of social interactions with dyad-specific peer effects. The proposed AR test evaluates if the peer effect coefficients are all zero. As the number of peer effect coefficients increases with the sample size, so does the number of instrumental variables (IVs) employed to test the restrictio…

We analyze both the Newtonian formulation, originally developed by Hunter, and the general relativistic formulation, that is the Oppenheimer-Snyder model; in both frameworks we find that the collapse is stabilized to an asymptotically static state above the horizon, and the singula…

Next-to-eikonal corrections to dijet production in Deep Inelastic Scattering in the dilute limit of the Color Glass Condensate
We analyze the effects of next-to-eikonal corrections on dijet production in Deep Inelastic Scattering off nuclear targets in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate. They require the knowledge of correlators of fields in the target beyond those computed in the standard McLerran-Venugopalan model, specifically those between transverse and boost-enhanced components, and of the recoil of the fields. We neglect the latter, while for the former we develop a linear model valid for large nuclei. …

Effects of dynamical friction on perturbations for evolving dark energy
We explore the impact of dynamical friction on cosmological scales and show its influence on the evolution of perturbations. In particular, considering smooth and clustering dark energy models, we describe the role played by friction by selecting two main hierarchical models, \textit{i.e.}, the first where the friction term is proportional to the Hubble rate, whereas the second where friction is induced by the dark energy pressure. The second approach generalises the first and translates the id…

The majority of stars are in binary/multiple systems. How such systems form in turbulent, magnetized cores of molecular clouds in the presence of non-ideal MHD effects remains relatively under-explored. Through ATHENA++-based non-ideal MHD AMR simulations with ambipolar diffusion, we show that the collapsing protostellar envelope is dominated by dense gravomagneto-sheetlets, a turbulence-warped version of the classic pseuodisk produced by anisotropic magnetic resistance to the gravitational col…

In this paper, we conduct a comprehensively analyze the influence of different quantum noise gates, including Phase Flip, Bit Flip, Phase Damping, Amplitude Damping, and the Depolarizing Channel, on the performance of HyQNNs. Our results reveal distinct and significant effects on HyQNNs training and validation accuracies across different probabilities of noise. For instance, the Phase Flip gate introduces phase errors, and we observe that HyQNNs exhibit resilience at higher probability (p = 1.0…

Forecasts for Constraining Lorentz-violating Damping of Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Inspirals
Violation of Lorentz symmetry can result in two distinct effects in the propagation of the gravitational waves (GWs). One is a modified dispersion relation and another is a frequency-dependent damping of GWs. While the former has been extensively studied in the literature, in this paper we concentrate on the frequency-dependent damping effect that arises from several specific Lorentz-violating theories, such as spatial covariant gravities, Hořava-Lifshitz gravities, etc. This Lorentz-violating…

We review the current status of astrophysical bounds on QCD axions, primarily based on the observational effects of nonstandard energy losses on stars, including black-hole superradiance. Over the past few years, many of the traditional arguments have been reexamined both theoretically and using modern data and new ideas have been put forth. This compact review updates similar Lecture Notes written by one of us in 2006 [Lect. Notes Phys. 741 (2008) 51-71].

We study superradiant masing in a hybrid system composed of nitrogen-vacancy center spins in diamond coupled to a superconducting microwave cavity. After the first fast superradiant decay we observe transient pulsed and then quasi-continuous masing. This emission dynamics can be described by a phenomenological model incorporating the transfer of inverted spin excitations into the superradiant window of spins resonant with the cavity. After experimentally excluding cQED effects associated with t…
