Eularian numerical methods introduce a numerical error that can lead to energy dissipation. The exact form of this dissipation can be very complex and depends on the spatial and temporal resolution. For the simple linear wave we perform numerical experiments and determine the numerical viscosity and diffusion coefficient.

We model topologically complex solar magnetic fields in the form of magnetic braids and study the evolution of their topology quantified in terms of knot polynomials. As it is not possible to define a single knot polynomial for a complex and volume filling magnetic field, even in the shape of a simple braid, we compute the polynomials for an ensemble of magnetic streamlines, which gives us a distribution. As the magnetic field relaxes and simplifies over time, we observe a distinct change in the distribution from a high probability of complex polynomials to a larger probability of simpler ones.

Twist and Current Alignment within non-trivial Magnetic Field Topologies

Simon Candelaresi

In magnetohydrodynamics, astrophysics and plasma physics, the most used quantifier of the magnetic field line topology is the magnetic helicity. We know that its presence restricts the dynamics of the fluid which would not be the case for a non-helical magnetic field of similar energy. Various magnetic field geometries contribute to the magnetic helicity content, such as twisting, knotting, braiding and linking. Here I will present the past and recent progress on relaxing magnetic field and their dynamics in plasmas, including unpublished work on twisted structures. The latter show a strong helicity creation and annihilation that can only be explained by taking into account the alignment of the magnetic field and the electric current density, which has implications on our images on large-scale magnetic structures.

Stabilizing Effect of Magnetic Helicity on Magnetic Cavities in the Intergala...

Simon Candelaresi

Intergalactic bubbles have been observed to live up to 100,00,00 years. Since they rise it is expected that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability should disrupt them after only a few million years. Here we show in numerical simulations that a helical magnetic field contained in the bubbles can stabilize them long enough to explain the observations. With the right amount of magnetic helicity there is no need for a large amount of magnetic energy.

Vortex Reconnection and the Role of Topology

Simon Candelaresi

We perform numerical experiments of relaxing and reconnecting vortex braids. While these braids have no net kinetic helicity, they are topologically non-trivial. Similar experiments with magnetic braids in MHD have shown a non-trivial relaxation behavior that resulted in two distinct twisted flux tubes. Here we observe the same separation behavior. Furthermore, we show analytically and experimentally that the presence of unsigned kinetic helicity poses a lower bound for the enstrophy of the system, similar to the realizability condition in MHD. Lastly, even the kinetic energy appears limited from below by the unsigned helicity, although we do not have an analytical explanation for this.

Stabilizing Effect of Magnetic Helicity on Magnetic Cavities in the Intergala...

Simon Candelaresi

We investigate the effect of magnetic helicity for the stability of buoyant magnetic cavities as found in the intergalactic medium. In these cavities we insert helical magnetic fields and test whether or not helicity can increase their stability to shredding through the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and with that their life time. This is compared to the case of an external magnetic field which is known to reduce the growth rate of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. By comparing a low and high helicity configuration with the same magnetic energy we find that an internal helical magnetic field stabilizes the cavity. This effect increases as we increase the helicity content. Stabilizing the cavity with an external magnetic field requires a significantly stronger field.

Estimating the rate of field line braiding in the solar corona by photospheri...

Simon Candelaresi

We study the effect of photospheric motions on the braiding and tangling of coronal magnetic fields. For that we make use of horizontal velocity data that was extracted from magnetograms using the local correlation tracking technique. By tracing trajectories we are able to compute the injected field line winding and finite time topological entropy. Both are quantitative measures of tangling that can be compared to the blinking vortex motion as a benchmark. Here we show that through photospheric motions there can indeed be substantial injection of winding into the system that can potentially be transfered into magnetic loops. This can potentially lead to thin magnetic structures that are potential sites of magnetic energy loss.

Topology Conserving Magnetic Field Evolution

Magnetic Field Line Tangling and Topological Entropy

Simon Candelaresi

Mixing of two-dimensional flows or three-dimensional magnetic fields is quantified using the finite time topological entropy FTTE. Similar to the finite time Lyapunov exponent it quantifies the amount of mixing of the fluid or chaotic dynamics in the system. Here we present an efficient method on how to compute the FTTE for periodic magnetic fields, like in Tokamaks, or for time periodic two-dimensional flows. Our method is both precise and highly time efficient. To show case the method we apply it to such cases that describe tangled or twisted magnetic fields.

Magnetic field line braiding in the solar atmosphere

Simon Candelaresi

We study the effect of the magnetic field line braiding in the solar atmosphere using topological methods. By measuring the topological entropy of the magnetic field line mapping we show that footpoint motions are capable of inducing highly non-trivial braided structures, which has a fundamental effect on the formation of current layers. Those braids can reach further up in the solar atmosphere, through which energy is transported. Depending on the structure of the field close to the photosphere, such energy transport can be very efficient.

Fractional approaches in dielectric broadband spectroscopy

Simon Candelaresi

A fractional approach is used to describe data from dielectric spectroscopy for several glassy materials. Using composite fractional time evolution propagators a modified law for relaxation in glasses is found that describes the experimental data for broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Properties and solutions of some particular fractional differential equations (fDEQs) are investigated both for rational and irrational order.

Superflares in G, K and M Type Dwarfs from Kepler Observations

Simon Candelaresi

We study the occurrence of superflares in G, K and M type dwarfs from lightcurves obtained by the Kepler mission. From that set 380 stars are detected with flares above 10^34 erg with 1690 such events. Various stellar parameters are considered here to find what circumstances are favorable for the occurrence of superflares. With decreasing effective temperature the flaring rate increases, as well as with an increase in the star's rotation rate. Star spots, which are a proxy for the magnetic field strength and dynamo activity, are seen more frequently in flaring stars and cover a larger proportion of the star's. surface. Using Ohmic dissipation as proxy for flare events, we perform simulations for a turbulent dynamo and find an increase of Ohmic dissipation as the dynamo number increases, in line with the observations.

Current Formation During Magnetic Field Relaxation

Simon Candelaresi

Using an ideal Lagrangian relaxation scheme for magnetic fields we investigate the formation of current concentrations for various magnetic field configurations. For sufficiently braided fields Parker (1972) hypothesizes the formation of singular current structures and subsequent reconnection. Here we find that even for highly braided fields current concentrations are well resolved and of finite magnitude. In presence of magnetic nulls, however, we confirm previous results of singular current structures at the nulls.

Magnetic Vector Potentials and Helicity in Periodic Domains

Simon Candelaresi

Magnetic helicity is often assumed to be gauge independend in periodic domains. Here I show that for triply periodic domains this is no the case if we allow for gauge fields which are not periodic. Using methods of p-forms from differential geometry it is shown that the magnetic vector potential does not exist for periodic domains with net magnetic flux through the boundaries. This has ramifications for numerical codes which make use of the magnetic vector potential, rather than the magnetic field.

Lagrangian Relaxation of Magnetic Fields

Simon Candelaresi

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe and fundamentally determine the dynamics of many astrophysical bodies. Their evolution shows a variety of characteristics like reconnection, forward and inverse cascade and relaxation to lower energy states. wen absence of any external forcing or driving of the system the field is expected relax to a lower energy state with vanishing Lorentz-force. How such a state is reached and how the evolution depends on the initial field topology is under debate. Using mimetic numerical operators to compute the electric current density we developed a numerical code to study the relaxation of magnetic fields in an ideal environment, i.e. without viscosity or resistivity. Combined with a Lagrangian grid scheme we solve the magneto-frictional equations to study the ideal relaxation of magnetic fields into a force-free state, which is also the minimum energy state. The methods conserve the field line topology and the divergence freeness exactly. Compared to previous approaches the final state is by various measures closer to the expected force-free state and is able to reduce the free magnetic energy to almost zero. Using these tools we present results which contest the validity of the Parker conjecture in solar physics, which claims the formation of singular current sheets during the relaxation of some braided magnetic fields which are bounded within two planes.

How much helicity is needed to drive large-scale dynamos?

Simon Candelaresi

Magnetic field generation on scales large compared with the scale of the turbulent eddies is known to be possible via the so-called alpha effect when the turbulence is helical and if the domain is large enough for the alpha effect to dominate over turbulent diffusion. Using three-dimensional turbulence simulations, we show that the energy of the resulting mean magnetic field of the saturated state increases linearly with the product of normalized helicity and the ratio of domain scale to eddy scale, provided this product exceeds a critical value around unity. This implies that large-scale dynamo action commences when the normalized helicity is larger than the inverse scale ratio. Recent findings of a smaller minimal helicity may be due to the onset of small-scale dynamo action at large magnetic Reynolds numbers. The onset of large-scale dynamo action is difficult to establish when the kinetic helicity is small.

Topological restrictions in magnetic field dynamics and reconnection

Simon Candelaresi

The dominance of the magnetic helicity as the determining topological invariant in magnetohydrodynamics is revisited for helical and non-helical field configurations. For fields with positive z-components we determine the fixed points of the field line mapping. The sum of the Poincare indices at those fixed points, the fixed pints index, gives rise to further restrictions, not captured by the magnetic helicity alone. Various braided field configurations, which correspond to helical and non-helical knots, are simulated in fully resistive magnetohydrodynamics. We observe an evolution which confirms the importance of the fixed point index as additional restricting quantity. Moreover, a topological flux function, the field line helicity, is computed at the fixed points and monitored during turbulent relaxation. Its rate of change gives a proxy for the magnetic reconnection rate.

Magnetic Helicity Fluxes and their Effect on the Solar Dynamo

Simon Candelaresi

Magnetic helicity fluxes in turbulently driven $\alpha^{2}$ dynamos are studied to demonstrate their ability to alleviate catastrophic quenching. A one-dimensional mean-field formalism is used to achieve magnetic Reynolds numbers of $10^{5}$. We study both diffusive magnetic helicity fluxes through the mid-plane as well as those resulting from the recently proposed alternate dynamic quenching formalism. By adding shear we make a parameter scan for the critical values of the shear and forcing parameters for which dynamo action occurs. For this $\alpha\Omega$ dynamo we find that the preferred mode is antisymmetric about the equatorial plane. This is also verified in 3-D direct numerical simulations. www.nordita.org/~iomsn/

Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility

University of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS

The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions. Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability. Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields. I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating). I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement

IshaGoswami9

As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus, high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology, and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlands

Richard Gill

Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx

MAGOTI ERNEST

Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024). Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
