Book ; Online: Decoupling by local random unitaries without simultaneous smoothing, and applications to multi-user quantum information tasks

Colomer, Pau / Winter, Andreas

2023

Abstract: ... the finite block length setting in terms of R\'enyi entropies. These bounds are essentially optimal ...

Abstract	We show that a simple telescoping sum trick, together with the triangle inequality and a tensorisation property of expected-contractive coefficients of random channels, allow us to achieve general simultaneous decoupling for multiple users via local actions. Employing both old [Dupuis et al. Commun. Math. Phys. 328:251-284 (2014)] and new methods [Dupuis, arXiv:2105.05342], we obtain bounds on the expected deviation from ideal decoupling either in the one-shot setting in terms of smooth min-entropies, or the finite block length setting in terms of R\'enyi entropies. These bounds are essentially optimal without the need to address the simultaneous smoothing conjecture, which remains unresolved. This leads to one-shot, finite block length, and asymptotic achievability results for several tasks in quantum Shannon theory, including local randomness extraction of multiple parties, multi-party assisted entanglement concentration, multi-party quantum state merging, and quantum coding for the quantum multiple access channel. Because of the one-shot nature of our protocols, we obtain achievability results without the need for time-sharing, which at the same time leads to easy proofs of the asymptotic coding theorems. We show that our one-shot decoupling bounds furthermore yield achievable rates (so far only conjectured) for all four tasks in compound settings, that is for only partially known i.i.d. source or channel, which are furthermore optimal for entanglement of assistance and state merging. Comment: This second version includes new results on the achievable rates of multi-party assisted entanglement distillation and entanglement of assistance in the compound setting, as well as further comments and corrections. The idea of the telescoping trick has independently and concurrently been discovered for multipartite decoupling by Hao-Chung Cheng, Li Gao and Mario Berta. 37 pages, 6 figures

Article ; Online: Team Behavior and Performance: An Exploration in the Context of Professional Rugby Union.

Abstract	Purpose: To explore complex system behavior and subsequent team performance in professional rugby union. Methods: Here, we present 2 studies. In the first, we used global positioning system technology to measure player clustering during stoppages in play in nearly 100 games of professional rugby union to explore team (complex system) behavior and performance. In the second, we measured stress hormones (cortisol and testosterone) prior to team meetings and analyzed these relative to amount of time and the frequency with which players looked at peer presenters, as well as subsequent training performance, to explain how stress may lead to behaviors observed in the first study and subsequent match performance. Results: No link between player clustering during stoppages of play and performance was observed. When players (complex system agents) demonstrated greater levels of stress (as indicated by greater cortisol-awakening response and a greater decline in testosterone-to-cortisol ratio across the morning), they tended to look at peer presenters more; however, training quality declined (P = .02). Correlational analysis also showed that training quality was related to testosterone-to-cortisol ratio (P = .04). Conclusions: Team behavior is complex and can be unpredictable. It is possible that under stress, complex system agents (ie, rugby union players) look at (and cluster toward) their teammates more; however, meaningful interaction may not necessarily occur. Furthermore, while complex system (team) analysis may be valuable strategically in rugby union in the context of describing behavior, without understanding "how" or "why" intrateam/interagent behaviors emerge it may have little meaning.

Title translation	Effect of frailty in health resource use in aged cancer patients.
Abstract	Objective: To evaluate the effect of frailty on health resource use in aged population with cancer. Method: Population-based cohort study with retrospective data collection and follow-up from January 2018 to December 2019 in people ≥65 years with cancer. Results: Overall, 996 individuals were included, with a prevalence of frailty of 22.1%. Mortality at 2 years was 14.1% in the frail and 9.0% in the non-frail (p=0.028). Independently of age and sex, frailty increased the number of urgent hospitalizations (168%) and planned hospitalizations (64%), visits to the emergency room (111%), outpatient consultations (59%), day hospital sessions (30%) and visits to primary care (114%). Conclusions: Frailty is more prevalent, determines a poorer prognostic and is associated with higher health resource use in aged population with cancer.

Abstract	Background: In recent years, the monitoring of occupant presence patterns has become an imperative for building energy optimization. Very often, there is a significant discrepancy between the building energy performance predicted at the design stage and the actual performance rendered during the building operation. This stems from the difference in user occupancy. In spite of this, user interaction and feedback are rarely taken into account and evidence of the impact of occupant presence patterns on energy consumption is still scarce. Thus, the purpose of this study is to apply crowd-sensing techniques to understand how energy is consumed and how appropriate performance indicators should be defined to provide inputs for building operations regarding more efficient use of resources. Methods: Monitoring strategies were implemented in an office lab with controlled variables to collect quantitative data on occupancy patterns, ambient factors and energy consumption. In addition, crowd-sensing techniques were applied to model user activity in different ambient conditions over time and to contrast their occupancy with energy consumption patterns in combination with new inquiry tools to identify how occupants perceive their comfort level. In addition, a set of energy efficiency indicators was used to compare energy performance over different periods. Results: It was discovered that there is a strong relation between user occupancy patterns and energy consumption. However, more than 50% of energy was consumed when no user activity was registered. Energy performance indicators revealed that measuring energy efficiency in terms of kWh per surface area encourages a less efficient use of space and, therefore, including a coefficient of person hours is advisable. It was also discovered that users do not fully rely on feedback mechanisms and they prefer to take action to adapt the ambient conditions rather than simply expressing their opinion. Analysis of energy usage during the Covid-19 lock down revealed substantial use of energy contrary to what was expected. This was because home computers were used as terminals only, while the actual tasks were performed on the lab computers, using remote desktop connections, which were turned on 24/7. In addition, energy consumed by each employee at his/her home should be taken into account. Moreover, a set of practical recommendations was formulated.

Abstract	Background: The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is the most recommended clinical tool to examine the neurobehavioral condition of individuals with disorders of consciousness (DOCs). Different studies have investigated the prognostic value of the information provided by the conventional administration of the scale, while other measures derived from the scale have been proposed to improve the prognosis of DOCs. However, the heterogeneity of the data used in the different studies prevents a reliable comparison of the identified predictors and measures. Aim: This study investigates which information derived from the CRS-R provides the most reliable prediction of both the clinical diagnosis and recovery of consciousness at the discharge of a long-term neurorehabilitation program. Design: Retrospective observational multisite study. Setting: The enrollment was performed in three neurorehabilitation facilities of the same hospital network. Population: A total of 171 individuals with DOCs admitted to an inpatient neurorehabilitation program for a minimum of 3 months were enrolled. Methods: Machine learning classifiers were trained to predict the clinical diagnosis and recovery of consciousness at discharge using clinical confounders and different metrics extracted from the CRS-R scale. Results: Results showed that the neurobehavioral state at discharge was predicted with acceptable and comparable predictive value with all the indices and measures derived from the CRS-R, but for the clinical diagnosis and the Consciousness Domain Index, and the recovery of consciousness was predicted with higher accuracy and similarly by all the investigated measures, with the exception of initial clinical diagnosis. Conclusions: Interestingly, the total score in the CRS-R and, especially, the total score in its subscales provided the best overall results, in contrast to the clinical diagnosis, which could indicate that a comprehensive measure of the clinical diagnosis rather than the condition of the individuals could provide a more reliable prediction of the neurobehavioral progress of individuals with prolonged DOC. Clinical rehabilitation impact: The results of this work have important implications in clinical practice, offering a more accurate prognosis of patients and thus giving the possibility to personalize and optimize the rehabilitation plan of patients with DoC using low-cost and easily collectable information.

Abstract	Abstract Seagrass canopies are coastal ecosystems that are able to modify the abiotic environment through their architectural structure. They have different structural parameters, such as plant stem stiffness, patch length and canopy density, all of which determine their overall functionality in modifying the seafloor hydrodynamics within coastal areas. To determine the interaction between hydrodynamics and the canopy structure, a set of laboratory experiments were carried out with both rigid and flexible stems for different canopy densities, patch lengths and wave frequencies. In the upper part of the canopy, flexible plants move with the flow without generating drag or producing turbulent kinetic energy, while rigid plants generate drag and produce turbulent kinetic energy. In the inner canopy layer, both types of plants behave like rigid stems and produce turbulent kinetic energy. A non-dimensional model based on the turbulent kinetic energy, the wave velocity and the plant characteristics is presented to describe the behaviour of flexible and rigid plants under an oscillating flow. Flexible plants behave in a stiffer manner under high wave frequencies than under low wave frequencies, thus making their behaviour closer to that of rigid plant stems. This difference between both canopy structures can explain their distribution in the environment, with rigid canopies being more extended in more sheltered regions while flexible plants are characteristic of more exposed regions with high flow energy.

Abstract	A majority of the world's population is multilingual, yet children's language-based preferences have largely been studied in Western monolingual contexts. The present research investigated language-based preferences in 4- to 8-year-old children living in Hyderabad, India, a multilingual region with languages such as Telugu (official language of the state, and the native language of many children in the state) and English (medium of instruction in some schools). We presented to children novel objects and probed their selective preference to learn from different speakers (Telugu, British-accented English, or Indian-accented English). In addition, the current study assessed the flexibility of children's preferences by manipulating the learning goal (i.e., performance goal vs. enjoyment goal) and learning content (i.e., Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics [STEM] objects vs. cultural objects). Children showed a preference for both English speakers over Telugu speakers, a tendency that increased with age. This preference was especially pronounced for performance learning goals and for STEM learning content. Furthermore, children whose native language was Telugu showed a less pronounced English bias. The results of this study provide new insights into the development of language-based biases in multilingual environments. First, they highlight dual and intersecting considerations of speaker familiarity and speaker status in guiding children's choices about from whom to learn. Second, the results suggest that children's language-based preferences in a pedagogical setting are flexible, as children integrate social cues (e.g., language-based attitudes) as well as contextual cues (e.g., the learning goal) strategically.

Abstract	Thanks to several previous efforts, school peer-to-peer bullying is nowadays considered a major issue for educational dynamics, research, and policy. Specifically in the field of research, bullying assessment tools have been gaining ground in recent years. Among them, the School Bullying Questionnaire (CIE-A) stands out. This is a teenager-targeted scale assessing bullying dynamics from a three-factor approach (i.e., victimization, symptomatology, and intimidation). However, to date, no previous study using similar tools has followed a gender perspective, and this shortcoming may hinder the effectiveness of policies and actions to face school bullying. The core aim of this study was to examine the effect of gender on teenagers' bullying-related factors and intimidation outcomes. This cross-sectional study analyzed the data provided by a gender-weighted sample of 770 Spanish teenagers with a mean age of
