AGN outflows can remove large quantities of gas from their host galaxy spheroids, potentially shutting off star formation. On the other hand, they can compress this gas, potentially enhancing or triggering star formation, at least for short periods. We present a set of idealised simulations of AGN outflows affecting turbulent gas spheres, and investigate the effect of the outflow and the AGN radiation field upon gas fragmentation. We show that AGN outflows of sufficient luminosity shut off fragmentation while the nucleus is active, but gas compression results in a burst of fragmentation after the AGN switches off. Self-shielding of gas against the AGN radiation field allows some fragmentation to occur during outbursts, but too much shielding results in a lower overall fragmentation rate. For our idealised simulation setup, there is a critical AGN luminosity which results in the highest fragmentation rate, with outflows being too efficient at removing gas when $L > L_{\rm crit}$ and not efficient enough to compress the gas to high densities otherwise. These results, although preliminary, suggest that the interaction between AGN and star formation in their host galaxies is particularly complex and requires careful study in order to interpret observations correctly.

The ANTARES neutrino telescope is currently being constructed in the Mediterranean Sea. The complete detector will consist of 12 strings, supplemented by an additional instrumentation line. Nine strings are at present deployed of which five are already connected to the shore and operating. Each string is equipped with 75 Optical Modules (OMs) housing the photomultipliers to detect the Cherenkov light induced by the charged particles produced in neutrino reactions. An accurate measurement of the Cherenkov photon arrival times as well as the positions and orientations of the OMs is required for a precise reconstruction of the direction of the detected neutrinos. For this purpose the ANTARES detector is provided with several system s to facilitate the calibration of the detector. The time calibration is performed using light pulses emitted from LED and laser devices. The positioning is done via acoustic triangulation using hydrophones. Additionally, local tilt angles and the orientations of the modules are measured with a set of tiltmeters and compasses. In this paper, it is demonstrated that the ANTARES time and alignment calibration systems operate successfully in situ. In particular, it is shown that the ANTARES read-out electronics is capable of reaching a sub-nanosecond time resolution.

In this paper, we consider a linear regression model with AR(p) error terms with the assumption that the error terms have a t distribution as a heavy tailed alternative to the normal distribution. We obtain the estimators for the model parameters by using the conditional maximum likelihood (CML) method. We conduct an iteratively reweighting algorithm (IRA) to find the estimates for the parameters of interest. We provide a simulation study and three real data examples to illustrate the performance of the proposed robust estimators based on t distribution.

The generalized diffusion equations with fractional order derivatives have shown be quite efficient to describe the diffusion in complex systems, with the advantage of producing exact expressions for the underlying diffusive properties. Recently, researchers have proposed different fractional-time operators (namely: the Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu) which, differently from the well-known Riemann-Liouville operator, are defined by non-singular memory kernels. Here we proposed to use these new operators to generalize the usual diffusion equation. By analyzing the corresponding fractional diffusion equations within the continuous time random walk framework, we obtained waiting time distributions characterized by exponential, stretched exponential, and power-law functions, as well as a crossover between two behaviors. For the mean square displacement, we found crossovers between usual and confined diffusion, and between usual and sub-diffusion. We obtained the exact expressions for the probability distributions, where non-Gaussian and stationary distributions emerged. This former feature is remarkable because the fractional diffusion equation is solved without external forces and subjected to the free diffusion boundary conditions. We have further shown that these new fractional diffusion equations are related to diffusive processes with stochastic resetting, and to fractional diffusion equations with derivatives of distributed order. Thus, our results show that these new operators are a simple and efficient way for incorporating different structural aspects into the system, opening new possibilities for modeling and investigating anomalous diffusive processes.

Despite the fact that the loss functions of deep neural networks are highly non-convex, gradient-based optimization algorithms converge to approximately the same performance from many random initial points. One thread of work has focused on explaining this phenomenon by characterizing the local curvature near critical points of the loss function, where the gradients are near zero, and demonstrating that neural network losses enjoy a no-bad-local-minima property and an abundance of saddle points. We report here that the methods used to find these putative critical points suffer from a bad local minima problem of their own: they often converge to or pass through regions where the gradient norm has a stationary point. We call these gradient-flat regions, since they arise when the gradient is approximately in the kernel of the Hessian, such that the loss is locally approximately linear, or flat, in the direction of the gradient. We describe how the presence of these regions necessitates care in both interpreting past results that claimed to find critical points of neural network losses and in designing second-order methods for optimizing neural networks.

We review recent progress in formulating two-dimensional models over noncommutative manifolds where the space-time coordinates enter in the formalism as non-commuting matrices. We describe the Fuzzy sphere and a way to approximate topological nontrivial configurations using matrix models. We obtain an ultraviolet cut off procedure, which respects the symmetries of the model. The treatment of spinors results from a supersymmetric formulation; our cut off procedure preserves even the supersymmetry.

In this paper we present results from numerical calculations for three identical boson systems for both very large and infinite two-body s-wave scattering length $a$. We have considered scattering lengths up to $2\times 10^5$ a.u. and solved the hyperangular part of the Schr\"odinger equation for distances up to $10^6$ a.u.. Form these, we obtained the three-body effective potentials, hyperspherical channel functions and the asymptotic behavior of the nonadiabatic couplings in order to to characterize the main aspects of the Efimov states. These results allow us to test and quantify the assumptions related to the Efimov effect.

I compare the available theoretical models that describe the Cronin effect on hadron and minijet production in proton-nucleus collisions, pointing out similarities and differences among them. The effect may be summarized by the value of two variables. Their values computed in the different models are compared in the energy range 27.4 GeV - 5500 GeV. Finally, I propose to use the pseudorapidity systematics as a further handle to distinguish among the models.

The antibody repertoire of each individual is continuously updated by the evolutionary process of B cell receptor mutation and selection. It has recently become possible to gain detailed information concerning this process through high-throughput sequencing. Here, we develop modern statistical molecular evolution methods for the analysis of B cell sequence data, and then apply them to a very deep short-read data set of B cell receptors. We find that the substitution process is conserved across individuals but varies significantly across gene segments. We investigate selection on B cell receptors using a novel method that side-steps the difficulties encountered by previous work in differentiating between selection and motif-driven mutation; this is done through stochastic mapping and empirical Bayes estimators that compare the evolution of in-frame and out-of-frame rearrangements. We use this new method to derive a per-residue map of selection, which provides a more nuanced view of the constraints on framework and variable regions.

Sliced Latin hypercube designs (SLHDs) are widely used in computer experiments with both quantitative and qualitative factors and in batches. Optimal SLHDs achieve better space-filling property on the whole experimental region. However, most existing methods for constructing optimal SLHDs have restriction on the run sizes. In this paper, we propose a new method for constructing SLHDs with arbitrary run sizes, and a new combined space-filling measurement describing the space-filling property for both the whole design and its slices. Furthermore, we develop general algorithms to search the optimal SLHD with arbitrary run sizes under the proposed measurement. Examples are presented to illustrate that effectiveness of the proposed methods.

We show that in the presence of a slowly rotating strong transverse magnetic field there is an infinite spectrum of harmonic wave functions $A_n$ due to the first order QED correction (in $\alpha^2$) given by the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian. The frequency shifts are integer multiples $\pm \omega_0 n$ of the magnetic field angular frequency rotation $\omega_0=2\pi\nu_m$ and the several modes $n$ are coupled to the nearest harmonics $n\pm 1$. This is a new effect due to QED vacuum fluctuations, not exploit before, that can explain, both qualitatively and quantatively, the recent experimental results of the PVLAS collaboration without the need of a low mass intermediate particle, hence dismiss the recent claim of the discovery of the axion. [Erratum: The PVLAS signal cannot be explained by this mechanism.]

Over the last decades, a considerable amount of empirical knowledge about the efficiency of defect-detection techniques has been accumulated. Also a few surveys have summarised those studies with different focuses, usually for a specific type of technique. This work reviews the results of empirical studies and associates them with a model of software quality economics. This allows a better comparison of the different techniques and supports the application of the model in practice as several parameters can be approximated with typical average values. The main contributions are the provision of average values of several interesting quantities w.r.t. defect detection and the identification of areas that need further research because of the limited knowledge available.

A general class of the almost instantaneous fixed-to-variable-length (AIFV) codes is proposed, which contains every possible binary code we can make when allowing finite bits of decoding delay. The contribution of the paper lies in the following. (i) Introducing $N$-bit-delay AIFV codes, constructed by multiple code trees with higher flexibility than the conventional AIFV codes. (ii) Proving that the proposed codes can represent any uniquely-encodable and uniquely-decodable variable-to-variable length codes. (iii) Showing how to express codes as multiple code trees with minimum decoding delay. (iv) Formulating the constraints of decodability as the comparison of intervals in the real number line. The theoretical results in this paper are expected to be useful for further study on AIFV codes.

The path integral of a general N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory on S^4 is exactly evaluated in the presence of a supersymmetric 't Hooft loop operator. The result we find - obtained using localization techniques - captures all perturbative quantum corrections as well as non-perturbative effects due to instantons and monopoles, which are supported at the north pole, south pole and equator of S^4. As a by-product, our gauge theory calculations successfully confirm the predictions made for 't Hooft loops obtained from the calculation of topological defect correlators in Liouville/Toda conformal field theory.

Adversarial training, as one of the few certified defenses against adversarial attacks, can be quite complicated and time-consuming, while the results might not be robust enough. To address the issue of lack of robustness, ensemble methods were proposed, aiming to get the final output by weighting the selected results from repeatedly trained processes. It is proved to be very useful in achieving robust and accurate results, but the computational and memory costs are even higher. Snapshot ensemble, a new ensemble method that combines several local minima in a single training process to make the final prediction, was proposed recently, which reduces the time spent on training multiple networks and the memory to store the results. Based on the snapshot ensemble, we present a new method that is easier to implement: unlike original snapshot ensemble that seeks for local minima, our snapshot ensemble focuses on the last few iterations of a training and stores the sets of parameters from them. Our algorithm is much simpler but the results are no less accurate than the original ones: based on different hyperparameters and datasets, our snapshot ensemble has shown a 5% to 30% increase in accuracy when compared to the traditional adversarial training.

Quantum technologies could largely benefit from the control of quantum emitters in sub-micrometric size crystals. These are naturally prone to the integration in hybrid devices, including heterostructures and complex photonic devices. Currently available quantum emitters sculpted in nanocrystals suffer from spectral instability, preventing their use as single photon sources e.g., for most quantum optics operations. In this work we report on unprecedented performances of single-photon emission from organic nanocrystals (average size of hundreds \SI{}{\nano\meter}), made of anthracene (Ac) and doped with dibenzoterrylene (DBT) molecules. The source has hours-long photostability with respect to frequency and intensity, both at room and at cryogenic temperature. When cooled down to \SI{3}{K}, the 00-zero phonon line shows linewidth values (\SI{50}{MHz}) close to the lifetime-limit. Such optical properties in a nanocrystalline environment make the proposed organic nanocrystals a unique single-photon source for integrated photonic quantum technologies.

Well known Schwarzschild spacetime and Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime are special cases. It is shown that the existence of a constant and positive surface gravity $\kappa$ ensures the existence of the Killing horizon, with the cross section homeomorphic to N.

A full understanding of high-mass star formation requires the study of one of the most elusive components of the energy balance in the interstellar medium: magnetic fields. We report ALMA 1.2 mm, high-resolution (700 au) dust polarization and molecular line observations of the rotating hot molecular core embedded in the high-mass star-forming region IRAS 18089-1732. The dust continuum emission and magnetic field morphology present spiral-like features resembling a whirlpool. The velocity field traced by the H13CO+ (J=3-2) transition line reveals a complex structure with spiral filaments that are likely infalling and rotating, dragging the field with them. We have modeled the magnetic field and find that the best model corresponds to a weakly magnetized core with a mass-to-magnetic-flux ratio (lambda) of 8.38. The modeled magnetic field is dominated by a poloidal component, but with an important contribution from the toroidal component that has a magnitude of 30% of the poloidal component. Using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method, we estimate a magnetic field strength of 3.5 mG. At the spatial scales accessible to ALMA, an analysis of the energy balance of the system indicates that gravity overwhelms turbulence, rotation, and the magnetic field. We show that high-mass star formation can occur in weakly magnetized environments, with gravity taking the dominant role.

We introduce UNIST, the first deep neural implicit model for general-purpose, unpaired shape-to-shape translation, in both 2D and 3D domains. Our model is built on autoencoding implicit fields, rather than point clouds which represents the state of the art. Furthermore, our translation network is trained to perform the task over a latent grid representation which combines the merits of both latent-space processing and position awareness, to not only enable drastic shape transforms but also well preserve spatial features and fine local details for natural shape translations. With the same network architecture and only dictated by the input domain pairs, our model can learn both style-preserving content alteration and content-preserving style transfer. We demonstrate the generality and quality of the translation results, and compare them to well-known baselines. Code is available at https://qiminchen.github.io/unist/.

Martha Euphemia Lofton Haynes was the first African American woman to receive a PhD in mathematics. She grew up in Washington DC, earned a bachelors degree in mathematics from Smith College in 1914, a masters in education from University of Chicago in 1930, and a doctorate in mathematics from the Catholic University of America in 1943. Haynes spent over forty-five years teaching in Washington DC from elementary and secondary level to university level. She was active in many community service organizations where she served in leadership roles and received numerous honors including being named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and being awarded a Papal Medal. She was a member of the Washington DC school board from 1960 - 1968, serving as president from June 1966 through July 1967. She played a leadership role in ending the tracking system, which she argued discriminated against African American students by assigning them to education tracks that did not prepare them for college. This fight culminated in the 1967 Hobson v Hansen court case, in which the judge ruled that tracking was discriminatory towards poor and minority students.

We prove a universal bound for the number of negative eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators with Neumann boundary conditions on bounded H\"older domains, under suitable assumptions on the H\"older exponent and the external potential. Our bound yields the same semiclassical behaviour as the Weyl asymptotics for smooth domains. We also discuss different cases where Weyl's law holds and fails.

Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT), a candidate theory of nonperturbative quantum gravity in 4D, turns out to have a rich phase structure. We investigate the recently discovered bifurcation phase $C_b$ and relate some of its characteristics to the presence of singular vertices of very high order. The transition lines separating this phase from the "time-collapsed" $B$-phase and the de Sitter phase $C_{dS}$ are of great interest when searching for physical scaling limits. The work presented here sheds light on the mechanisms behind these transitions. First, we study how the $B$-$C_b$ transition signal depends on the volume-fixing implemented in the simulations, and find results compatible with the previously determined second-order character of the transition. The transition persists in a transfer matrix formulation, where the system's time extension is taken to be minimal. Second, we relate the new $C_b$-$C_{dS}$ transition to the appearance of singular vertices, which leads to a direct physical interpretation in terms of a breaking of the homogeneity and isotropy observed in the de Sitter phase when crossing from $C_{dS}$ to the bifurcation phase $C_b$.

The new experiment data of muon g-2 is reported by the workers at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory(FNAL). Combined with the previous Brookhaven National Laboratory(BNL) E821 result, the departure from the standard model prediction is about 4.2 $\sigma$. It strengthens our faith in the new physics. $U(1)_X$SSM is the U(1) extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, where we study the electroweak corrections to the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of muon from the one-loop diagrams and some two-loop diagrams possessing important contributions. These two-loop diagrams include Barr-Zee type, rainbow type and diamond type. The virtual supersymmetric particles in these two-loop diagrams are chargino, scalar neutrino, neutralino, scalar lepton, which are supposed not very heavy to make relatively large corrections. We obtain the Wilson coefficients of the dimension 6 operators inducing the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of muon. The numerical results can reach $25\times 10^{-10}$ and even larger.

Estimation of bone age from hand radiographs is essential to determine skeletal age in diagnosing endocrine disorders and depicting the growth status of children. However, existing automatic methods only apply their models to test images without considering the discrepancy between training samples and test samples, which will lead to a lower generalization ability. In this paper, we propose an adversarial regression learning network (ARLNet) for bone age estimation. Specifically, we first extract bone features from a fine-tuned Inception V3 neural network and propose regression percentage loss for training. To reduce the discrepancy between training and test data, we then propose adversarial regression loss and feature reconstruction loss to guarantee the transition from training data to test data and vice versa, preserving invariant features from both training and test data. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

In this paper we prove that a multiplicative quadratic map between a unital ring $K$ and a field $L$ is induced by a homomorphism from $K$ into $L$ or a composition algebra over $L$. Especially we show that if $K$ is a field, then every multiplicative quadratic map is the product of two field homomorphisms. Moreover, we prove a multiplicative version of Artin's Theorem showing that a product of field homomorphisms is unique up to multiplicity.

Over-estimation of worst-case execution times (WCETs) of real-time tasks leads to poor resource utilization. In a mixed-criticality system (MCS), the over-provisioning of CPU time to accommodate the WCETs of highly critical tasks may lead to degraded service for less critical tasks. In this paper, we present PAStime, a novel approach to monitor and adapt the runtime progress of highly time-critical applications, to allow for improved service to lower criticality tasks. In PAStime, CPU time is allocated to time-critical tasks according to the delays they experience as they progress through their control flow graphs. This ensures that as much time as possible is made available to improve the Quality-of-Service of less critical tasks, while high-criticality tasks are compensated after their delays. In this paper, we integrate PAStime with Adaptive Mixed-criticality (AMC) scheduling. The LO-mode budget of a high-criticality task is adjusted according to the delay observed at execution checkpoints. This is the first implementation of AMC in the scheduling framework Using LITMUS-RT, which is extended with our PAStime runtime policy and tested with real-time Linux applications such as object classification and detection. We observe in our experimental evaluation that AMC-PAStime significantly improves the utilization of the low-criticality tasks while guaranteeing service to high-criticality tasks.

To reach ambitious European CO$_2$ emission reduction targets, most scenarios of future European electricity systems rely on large shares of wind and solar photovoltaic power generation. We interpolate between two concepts for balancing the variability of these renewable sources: balancing at continental scales using the transmission grid and balancing locally with storage. This interpolation is done by systematically restricting transmission capacities from the optimum level to zero. We run techno-economic cost optimizations for the capacity investment and dispatch of wind, solar, hydroelectricity, natural gas power generation and transmission, as well as storage options such as pumped-hydro, battery, and hydrogen storage. The simulations assume a 95% CO$_2$ emission reduction compared to 1990, and are run over a full historical year of weather and electricity demand for 30 European countries. In the cost-optimal system with high levels of transmission expansion, energy generation is dominated by wind (65%) and hydro (15%), with average system costs comparable to today's system. Restricting transmission shifts the balance in favour of solar and storage, driving up costs by a third. As the restriction is relaxed, 85% of the cost benefits of the optimal grid expansion can be captured already with only 44% of the transmission volume.

The quantum satellite is a cornerstone towards practical free-space quantum network and overcomes the photon loss over large distance. However, challenges still exist including real-time all-location coverage and multi-node construction, which may be complemented by the diversity of modern drones. Here we demonstrate the first drone-based entanglement distribution at all-weather conditions over 200 meters (test field limited), and the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt S-parameter exceeds 2.49, within 35 kg take-off weight. With symmetric transmitter and receiver beam apertures and single-mode-fiber-coupling technology, such progress is ready for future quantum network with multi-node expansion. This network can be further integrated in picture-drone sizes for plug-and-play local-area coverage, or loaded onto high-altitude drones for wide-area coverage, which adds flexibility while connecting to the existing satellites and ground fiber-based quantum network.

Reinforced Imitative Graph Representation Learning for Mobile User Profiling: An Adversarial Training Perspective
AAAI 2021

cs.AI
http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
In this paper, we study the problem of mobile user profiling, which is a critical component for quantifying users' characteristics in the human mobility modeling pipeline. Human mobility is a sequential decision-making process dependent on the users' dynamic interests. With accurate user profiles, the predictive model can perfectly reproduce users' mobility trajectories. In the reverse direction, once the predictive model can imitate users' mobility patterns, the learned user profiles are also optimal. Such intuition motivates us to propose an imitation-based mobile user profiling framework by exploiting reinforcement learning, in which the agent is trained to precisely imitate users' mobility patterns for optimal user profiles. Specifically, the proposed framework includes two modules: (1) representation module, which produces state combining user profiles and spatio-temporal context in real-time; (2) imitation module, where Deep Q-network (DQN) imitates the user behavior (action) based on the state that is produced by the representation module. However, there are two challenges in running the framework effectively. First, epsilon-greedy strategy in DQN makes use of the exploration-exploitation trade-off by randomly pick actions with the epsilon probability. Such randomness feeds back to the representation module, causing the learned user profiles unstable. To solve the problem, we propose an adversarial training strategy to guarantee the robustness of the representation module. Second, the representation module updates users' profiles in an incremental manner, requiring integrating the temporal effects of user profiles. Inspired by Long-short Term Memory (LSTM), we introduce a gated mechanism to incorporate new and old user characteristics into the user profile.

Superbursts from accreting neutron stars probe nuclear reactions at extreme densities ($\rho \approx 10^{9}~g\,cm^{-3}$) and temperatures ($T>10^9~K$). These bursts ($\sim$1000 times more energetic than type I X-ray bursts) are most likely triggered by unstable ignition of carbon in a sea of heavy nuclei made during the rp-process of regular type I X-ray bursts (where the accumulated hydrogen and helium are burned). An open question is the origin of sufficient amounts of carbon, which is largely destroyed during the rp-process in X-ray bursts. We explore carbon production in steady-state burning via the rp-process, which might occur together with unstable burning in systems showing superbursts. We find that for a wide range of accretion rates and accreted helium mass fractions large amounts of carbon are produced, even for systems that accrete solar composition. This makes stable hydrogen and helium burning a viable source of carbon to trigger superbursts. We also investigate the sensitivity of the results to nuclear reactions. We find that the $^{14}$O($\alpha$,p)$^{17}$F reaction rate introduces by far the largest uncertainties in the $^{12}$C yield.

The basic units in our brain are neurons and each neuron has more than 1000 synapse connections. Synapse is the basic structure for information transfer in an ever-changing manner, and short-term plasticity allows synapses to perform critical computational functions in neural circuits. Therefore the major challenge for the hardware implementation of neuromorphic computation is to develop artificial synapse. Here, in-plane oxide-based artificial synapse network coupled by proton neurotransmitters are self-assembled on glass substrates at room-temperature. A strong lateral modulation is observed due to the proton migration in the nanogranular phosphorus-doped SiO2 electrolyte films. Functional roles of short-term plasticity, including paired-pulse facilitation, dynamic filtering and spatiotemporally correlated signal processing are mimicked. Such in-plane oxide-based protonic/electronic hybrid synapse network proposed here are interesting for building future neuromorphic systems.

Automated test generation based on symbolic execution can be beneficial for systematically testing safety-critical software, to facilitate test engineers to pursue the strict testing requirements mandated by the certification standards, while controlling at the same time the costs of the testing process. At the same time, the development of safety-critical software is often constrained with programming languages or coding conventions that ban linguistic features which are believed to downgrade the safety of the programs, e.g., they do not allow dynamic memory allocation and variable-length arrays, limit the way in which loops are used, forbid recursion, and bound the complexity of control conditions. As a matter of facts, these linguistic features are also the main efficiency-blockers for the test generation approaches based on symbolic execution at the state of the art. This paper contributes new evidence of the effectiveness of generating test cases with symbolic execution for a significant class of industrial safety critical-systems. We specifically focus on Scade, a largely adopted model-based development language for safety-critical embedded software, and we report on a case study in which we exploited symbolic execution to automatically generate test cases for a set of safety-critical programs developed in Scade. To this end, we introduce a novel test generator that we developed in a recent industrial project on testing safety-critical railway software written in Scade, and we report on our experience of using this test generator for testing a set of Scade programs that belong to the development of an on-board signaling unit for high-speed rail. The results provide empirically evidence that symbolic execution is indeed a viable approach for generating high-quality test suites for the safety-critical programs considered in our case study.

This paper presents an algebraic theory of instruction sequences with instructions for Turing tapes as basic instructions, the behaviours produced by the instruction sequences concerned under execution, and the interaction between such behaviours and Turing tapes provided by an execution environment. This theory provides a setting for the development of theory in areas such as computability and computational complexity that distinguishes itself by offering the possibility of equational reasoning and being more general than the setting provided by a known version of the Turing-machine model of computation. The theory is essentially an instantiation of a parameterized algebraic theory which is the basis of a line of research in which issues relating to a wide variety of subjects from computer science have been rigorously investigated thinking in terms of instruction sequences.

Ideally, what confuses neural network should be confusing to humans. However, recent experiments have shown that small, imperceptible perturbations can change the network prediction. To address this gap in perception, we propose a novel approach for learning robust classifier. Our main idea is: adversarial examples for the robust classifier should be indistinguishable from the regular data of the adversarial target. We formulate a problem of learning robust classifier in the framework of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), where the adversarial attack on classifier acts as a generator, and the critic network learns to distinguish between regular and adversarial images. The classifier cost is augmented with the objective that its adversarial examples should confuse the adversary critic. To improve the stability of the adversarial mapping, we introduce adversarial cycle-consistency constraint which ensures that the adversarial mapping of the adversarial examples is close to the original. In the experiments, we show the effectiveness of our defense. Our method surpasses in terms of robustness networks trained with adversarial training. Additionally, we verify in the experiments with human annotators on MTurk that adversarial examples are indeed visually confusing. Codes for the project are available at https://github.com/aam-at/adversary_critic.

This paper investigates the use of Infrastructure-To-Vehicle (I2V) communication to generate routing suggestions for drivers in transportation systems, with the goal of optimizing a measure of overall network congestion. We define link-wise levels of trust to tolerate the non-cooperative behavior of part of the driver population, and we propose a real-time optimization mechanism that adapts to the instantaneous network conditions and to sudden changes in the levels of trust. Our framework allows us to quantify the improvement in travel time in relation to the degree at which drivers follow the routing suggestions. We then study the resilience of the system, measured as the smallest change in routing choices that results in roads reaching their maximum capacity. Interestingly, our findings suggest that fluctuations in the extent to which drivers follow the provided routing suggestions can cause failures of certain links. These results imply that the benefits of using Infrastructure-To-Vehicle communication come at the cost of new fragilities, that should be appropriately addressed in order to guarantee the reliable operation of the infrastructure.

We carried out a systematic search of precursors on the sample of short GRBs observed by Swift. We found that ~8-10% of short GRBs display such early episode of emission. One burst (GRB 090510) shows two precursor events, the former ~13 s and the latter ~0.5 s before the GRB. We did not find any substantial difference between the precursor and the main GRB emission, and between short GRBs with and without precursors. We discuss possible mechanisms to reproduce the observed precursor emission within the scenario of compact object mergers. The implications of our results on quantum gravity constraints are also discussed.

It has been suggested recently (Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 232501 (2003)) that charge symmetry of nucleon-nucleon interactions relates the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients (ANCs) of proton and neutron virtual decays of mirror nuclei. This relation is given by a simple analytical formula which involves proton and neutron separation energies, charges of residual nuclei and the range of their strong interaction with the last nucleon. Relation between mirror ANCs, if understood properly, can be used to predict astrophysically relevant direct proton capture cross sections using neutron ANCs measured with stable beams. In this work, we calculate one-nucleon ANCs for several light mirror pairs, using microscopic two-, three- and four-cluster models, and compare the ratio of mirror ANCs to the predictions of the simple analytic formula. We also investigate mirror symmetry between other characteristics of mirror one-nucleon overlap integrals, namely, spectroscopic factors and single-particle ANCs.

This paper corresponds to Section 8 of arXiv:1912.05774v3 [math.GT]. The contents until Section 7 are published in Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata as a separate paper. In that paper, it is proved that for any positive flow-spine P of a closed, oriented 3-manifold M, there exists a unique contact structure supported by P up to isotopy. In particular, this defines a map from the set of isotopy classes of positive flow-spines of M to the set of isotopy classes of contact structures on M. In this paper, we show that this map is surjective. As a corollary, we show that any flow-spine can be deformed to a positive flow-spine by applying first and second regular moves successively.

Smart speakers and voice-based virtual assistants are core components for the success of the IoT paradigm. Unfortunately, they are vulnerable to various privacy threats exploiting machine learning to analyze the generated encrypted traffic. To cope with that, deep adversarial learning approaches can be used to build black-box countermeasures altering the network traffic (e.g., via packet padding) and its statistical information. This letter showcases the inadequacy of such countermeasures against machine learning attacks with a dedicated experimental campaign on a real network dataset. Results indicate the need for a major re-engineering to guarantee the suitable protection of commercially available smart speakers.

For more than four decades, scientists have been trying to find an answer to one of the most fundamental questions in paleoclimatology, the `faint young Sun problem'. For the early Earth, models of stellar evolution predict a solar energy input to the climate system which is about 25% lower than today. This would result in a completely frozen world over the first two billion years in the history of our planet, if all other parameters controlling Earth's climate had been the same. Yet there is ample evidence for the presence of liquid surface water and even life in the Archean (3.8 to 2.5 billion years before present), so some effect (or effects) must have been compensating for the faint young Sun. A wide range of possible solutions have been suggested and explored during the last four decades, with most studies focusing on higher concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane or ammonia. All of these solutions present considerable difficulties, however, so the faint young Sun problem cannot be regarded as solved. Here I review research on the subject, including the latest suggestions for solutions of the faint young Sun problem and recent geochemical constraints on the composition of Earth's early atmosphere. Furthermore, I will outline the most promising directions for future research. In particular I would argue that both improved geochemical constraints on the state of the Archean climate system and numerical experiments with state-of-the-art climate models are required to finally assess what kept the oceans on the Archean Earth from freezing over completely.

Lattice rounding in Euclidean space can be viewed as finding the nearest point in the orbit of an action by a discrete group, relative to the norm inherited from the ambient space. Using this point of view, we initiate the study of non-abelian analogs of lattice rounding involving matrix groups. In one direction, we give an algorithm for solving a normed word problem when the inputs are random products over a basis set, and give theoretical justification for its success. In another direction, we prove a general inapproximability result which essentially rules out strong approximation algorithms (i.e., whose approximation factors depend only on dimension) analogous to LLL in the general case.

We show that a recently proposed [J. Fleischer and P.H. Diamond, {\em Phys. Rev. E}{\bf 58}, R2709 (1998)] one-dimensional Burgers-like model for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is in effect identical to existing models for drifting lines and sedimenting lattices. We use the model to demonstrate, contrary to claims in the literature, that the energy spectrum of MHD turbulence should be independent of mean magnetic field and that cross-correlations between the noise sources for the velocity and magnetic fields cannot change the structure of the equations under renormalisation. We comment on the scaling and the multiscaling properties of the stochastically forced version of the model.

The Knight shift data on Li and Zn substituted YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ are analysed using an itinerant model with short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. The model parameters, which are determined by fitting the experimental data on the transverse nuclear relaxation rate $T_2^{-1}$ of pure YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$, are used to calculate the Knight shifts for various nuclei around a nonmagnetic impurity located in the CuO$_2$ planes. The calculations are carried out for Li and Zn impurities substituted into optimally doped and underdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$. The results are compared with the $^7$Li and $^{89}$Y Knight shift measurements on these materials.

In this paper we continue the investigation, within the context of the Dijkgraaf-Vafa Programme, of Seiberg duality in matrix models as initiated in hep-th/0211202, by allowing degenerate mass deformations. In this case, there are some massless fields which remain and the theory has a moduli space. With this illustrative example, we propose a general methodology for performing the relevant matrix model integrations and addressing the corresponding field theories which have non-trivial IR behaviour, and which may or may not have tree-level superpotentials.

The work of J{\o}rgensen and Thurston shows that there is a finite number N(v) of orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds with any given volume v. In this paper, we construct examples showing that the number of hyperbolic knot complements with a given volume v can grow at least factorially fast with v. A similar statement holds for closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds, obtained via Dehn surgery. Furthermore, we give explicit estimates for lower bounds of N(v) in terms of v for these examples. These results improve upon the work of Hodgson and Masai, which describes examples that grow exponentially fast with v. Our constructions rely on performing volume preserving mutations along Conway spheres and on the classification of Montesinos knots.

Global-local Motion Transformer for Unsupervised Skeleton-based Action Learning

We propose a new transformer model for the task of unsupervised learning of skeleton motion sequences. The existing transformer model utilized for unsupervised skeleton-based action learning is learned the instantaneous velocity of each joint from adjacent frames without global motion information. Thus, the model has difficulties in learning the attention globally over whole-body motions and temporally distant joints. In addition, person-to-person interactions have not been considered in the model. To tackle the learning of whole-body motion, long-range temporal dynamics, and person-to-person interactions, we design a global and local attention mechanism, where, global body motions and local joint motions pay attention to each other. In addition, we propose a novel pretraining strategy, multi-interval pose displacement prediction, to learn both global and local attention in diverse time ranges. The proposed model successfully learns local dynamics of the joints and captures global context from the motion sequences. Our model outperforms state-of-the-art models by notable margins in the representative benchmarks. Codes are available at https://github.com/Boeun-Kim/GL-Transformer.

Discrete Incremental Voting

We consider a type of pull voting suitable for discrete numeric opinions which can be compared on a linear scale, for example, 1 ('disagree strongly'), 2 ('disagree'), $\ldots,$ 5 ('agree strongly'). On observing the opinion of a random neighbour, a vertex changes its opinion incrementally towards the value of the neighbour's opinion, if different. For opinions drawn from a set $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$, the opinion of the vertex would change by $+1$ if the opinion of the neighbour is larger, or by $-1$, if it is smaller. It is not clear how to predict the outcome of this process, but we observe that the total weight of the system, that is, the sum of the individual opinions of all vertices, is a martingale. This allows us analyse the outcome of the process on some classes of dense expanders such as clique graphs $K_n$ and random graphs $ G_{n,p}$ for suitably large $p$. If the average of the original opinions satisfies $i \le c \le i+1$ for some integer $i$, then the asymptotic probability that opinion $i$ wins is $i+1-c$, and the probability that opinion $i+1$ wins is $c-i$. With high probability, the winning opinion cannot be other than $i$ or $i+1$. To contrast this, we show that for a path and opinions $0,1,2$ arranged initially in non-decreasing order along the path, the outcome is very different. Any of the opinions can win with constant probability, provided that each of the two extreme opinions $0$ and $2$ is initially supported by a constant fraction of vertices.

In this work, we measure the volumetric mean radius of the Earth, reproducing the historical experiment of Eratosthenes, carried out around 240 BC, in the ancient cities of Siena and Alexandria. Here, we perform measurements in the cities of Rio de Janeiro-RJ-Brazil and Teresina-PI-Brazil, whose longitude coordinates are close. Using simple equipment, such as plumb lines and rulers, we simultaneously measure the height of an object and its shadow's length at midday, when the Sun is at its highest elevation, in order to obtain the shadow angle. After determining the distance (latitude) between cities from satellite data, we use the measured shadow angles to estimate the volume mean radius of the Earth, from basic trigonometric arguments, finding a result whose error is $0.5 \% $ with respect to the literature. Furthermore, from the difference of time in which the Sun is at the highest point in the sky in each location, we also estimate the Earth's angular velocity. In summary, we pedagogically present how to obtain the mean curvature of the planet, assuming an approximately spherical surface, in addition to its angular velocity.

We study the smoothness of paging algorithms. How much can the number of page faults increase due to a perturbation of the request sequence? We call a paging algorithm smooth if the maximal increase in page faults is proportional to the number of changes in the request sequence. We also introduce quantitative smoothness notions that measure the smoothness of an algorithm. We derive lower and upper bounds on the smoothness of deterministic and randomized demand-paging and competitive algorithms. Among strongly-competitive deterministic algorithms LRU matches the lower bound, while FIFO matches the upper bound. Well-known randomized algorithms like Partition, Equitable, or Mark are shown not to be smooth. We introduce two new randomized algorithms, called Smoothed-LRU and LRU-Random. Smoothed- LRU allows to sacrifice competitiveness for smoothness, where the trade-off is controlled by a parameter. LRU-Random is at least as competitive as any deterministic algorithm while smoother.

The existence of least finite support is used throughout the subject of nominal sets. In this paper we give some Brouwerian counterexamples showing that constructively, least finite support does not always exist and in fact can be quite badly behaved. On this basis we reinforce the point that when working constructively with nominal sets the use of least finite support should be avoided. Moreover our examples suggest that this problem can't be fixed by requiring nominal sets to have least finite support by definition or by using the notion of subfinite instead of finite.

We prove an asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution of the divisor functions $d_3(n)$ and $d(n)$, which is uniform in the shift parameter and which has a power-saving error term. The method is also applied to give analogous estimates for the shifted convolution of $d_3(n)$ and Fourier coefficents of holomorphic cusp forms. These asymptotics improve previous results obtained by several different authors.

Motivated by manipulating the magnetic order of bilayer CrI$_3$, we carry out microscopic calculations to find the magnetic order and various magnetic domains of the system in the presence of an electric field. Making use of density functional simulations, a spin model Hamiltonian is introduced consisting of isotropic exchange couplings, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, and on-site magnetic anisotropy. The spin dynamics of two well-known states of bilayer CrI$_3$, low temperature (LT) and high temperature (HT) phases, are obtained by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. We show that the magnetic texture is stacking-dependent in bilayer CrI$_3$ and stable magnetic domains can appear in the HT stack which are tunable by external electric and magnetic fields. Therefore, we suggest that the HT phase represents a promising candidate for data storage in the modern generation of spintronic devices working on magnetic domain engineering.

Introduction of interstitial dopants has opened a new pathway to optimize nanoparticle catalytic activity for, e.g., hydrogen evolution/oxidation and other reactions. Here, we discuss the stability of a property-enhancing dopant, B, introduced through controlled synthesis of an electrocatalyst Pd aerogel. We observe significant removal of B after the hydrogen evolution/oxidation reaction. Ab-initio calculations show that the high stability of sub-surface B in Pd is substantially reduced when H is ad/absorbed on the surface, favoring its departure from the host nanostructure. The destabilization of sub-surface B is more pronounced as more H occupies surface sites and empty interstitial sites. We hence demonstrate that the H2 fuel/product itself favors the microstructural degradation of the electrocatalyst and an associated drop in activity.

Stimulated by the experimental realization of spin-dependent tunneling via gradient magnetic field [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 225301 (2013); Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 185301 (2013)], we investigate dynamics of Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener tunneling of single spin-half particles in a periodic potential under the influence of a spin-dependent constant force. In analogy to the Wannier-Stark system, we call our system as the Wannier-Zeeman system. If there is no coupling between the two spin states, the system can be described by two crossing Wannier-Stark ladders with opposite tilts. The spatial crossing between two Wannier-Stark ladders becomes a spatial anti-crossing if the two spin states are coupled by external fields. For a wave-packet away from the spatial anti-crossing, due to the spin-dependent constant force, it will undergo spatial Landau-Zener transitions assisted by the intrinsic intra-band Bloch oscillations, which we call the Bloch-Landau-Zener dynamics. If the inter-spin coupling is sufficiently strong, the system undergoes adiabatic Bloch-Landau-Zener dynamics, in which the spin dynamics follows the local dressed states. Otherwise, for non-strong inter-spin couplings, the system undergoes non-adiabatic Bloch-Landau-Zener dynamics.

Promising pathways for photoassociative formation of ultracold heteronuclear alkali metal dimers in their lowest rovibronic levels (denoted X(0,0)) are examined using high quality ab initio calculations of potential energy curves currently available. A promising pathway for KRb, involving the resonant coupling of the $2 ^1\Pi$ and $1 ^1\Pi $ states just below the lowest excited asymptote (K($4s$)+Rb($5p_{1/2}$)), is found to occur also for RbCs and less promisingly for KCs as well. The resonant coupling of the $3 ^1 \Sigma ^+ $ and $1 ^1\Pi $ states, also just below the lowest excited asymptote, is found to be promising for LiNa, LiK, LiRb, and less promising for LiCs and KCs. Direct photoassociation to the $1 ^1\Pi $ state near dissociation appears promising in the final dimers, NaK, NaRb, and NaCs, although detuning more than 100 cm$^{-1}$ below the lowest excited asymptote may be required.

This article proposes a novel thermostat applicable to any particle-based dynamic simulation. Each pair of particles is thermostated either (with probability P) with a pairwise Lowe-Andersen thermostat, or (with probability 1-P) with a thermostat that is introduced here, which is based on a pairwise interaction similar to the Nose-Hoover thermostat. When the pairwise Nose-Hoover thermostat dominates (low P), the liquid has a high diffusion coefficient and low viscosity, but when the Lowe-Andersen thermostat dominates, the diffusion coefficient is low and viscosity is high. This novel Nose-Hoover-Lowe-Andersen thermostat is Galilean invariant and preserves both total linear and angular momentum of the system, due to the fact that the thermostatic forces between each pair of the particles are pairwise additive and central. We show by simulation that this thermostat also preserves hydrodynamics. For the (non-interacting) ideal gas at P=0, the diffusion coefficient diverges and viscosity is zero, while for P>0 it has a finite value. By adjusting probability P, the Schmidt number can be varied by orders of magnitude. The temperature deviation from the required value is at least an order of magnitude smaller than in Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD), while the equilibrium properties of the system are very well reproduced. Applications of this thermostat include all standard molecular dynamic simulations of dense liquids and solids with any type of force field, as well as hydrodynamic simulation of multi-phase systems with largely different bulk viscosities, including surface viscosity, and of dilute gases and plasmas.

We analyze the dynamics of atom-laser interactions for atoms having multiple, closely spaced, excited-state hyperfine manifolds. The system is treated fully quantum mechanically, including the atom's center-of-mass degree of freedom, and motion is described in a polarization gradient field created by a three-dimensional laser configuration. We develop the master equation describing this system, and then specialize it to the low-intensity limit by adiabatically eliminating the excited states. We show how this master equation can be simulated using the Monte Carlo wave function technique, and we provide details on implementation of this procedure. Monte Carlo calculations of steady state atomic momentum distributions for two fermionic alkaline earth isotopes, $^{25}$Mg and $^{87}$Sr, interacting with a three-dimensional lin-$\perp$-lin laser configuration are presented, providing estimates of experimentally achievable laser-cooling temperatures.

Ice growth has attracted great attention for its capability of fabricating hierarchically porous microstructure. However, the formation of tilted lamellar microstructure during freezing needs to be reconsidered due to the limited control of ice orientation with respect to thermal gradient during in-situ observations, which can greatly enrich our insight into architectural control of porous biomaterials. This paper provides an in-situ study of solid/liquid interface morphology evolution of directionally solidified single crystal ice with its C-axis (optical axis) perpendicular to directions of both thermal gradient and incident light in poly (vinyl alcohol, PVA) solutions. Misty morphology and V-shaped lamellar morphology were clearly observed in-situ for the first time. Quantitative characterizations on lamellar spacing, tilt angle and tip undercooling of lamellar ice platelets provide a clearer insight into the inherent ice growth habit in polymeric aqueous systems and are suggested exert significant impact on future design and optimization in porous biomaterials.

We consider the revenue management problem of finding profit-maximising prices for delivery time slots in the context of attended home delivery. This multi-stage optimal control problem admits a dynamic programming formulation that is intractable for realistic problem sizes due to the so-called "curse of dimensionality". Therefore, we study three approximate dynamic programming algorithms both from a control-theoretical perspective and in a parametric numerical case study. Our numerical analysis is based on real-world data, from which we generate multiple scenarios to stress-test the robustness of the pricing policies to errors in model parameter estimates. Our theoretical analysis and numerical benchmark tests show that one of these algorithms, namely gradient-bounded dynamic programming, dominates the others with respect to computation time and profit-generation capabilities of the delivery slot pricing policies that it generates. Finally, we show that uncertainty in the estimates of the model parameters further increases the profit-generation dominance of this approach.

Understanding large-angular-scale galactic foregrounds is crucial for future CMB experiments aiming to detect $B$-mode polarization from primordial gravitational waves. Traditionally, the dust component has been separated using its different frequency dependence. However, using non-CMB observations has potential to increase fidelity and decrease the reconstruction noise. In this exploratory paper we investigate the capability of galactic 21 cm observations to predict the dust foreground in intensity. We train a neural network to predict the dust foreground as measured by the Planck Satellite from the full velocity data-cube of galactic 21 cm emission as measured by the HI4PI survey. We demonstrate that information in the velocity structure clearly improves the predictive power over both a simple integrated emission model and a simple linear model. The improvement is significant at arc-minute scales but more modest at degree scales. This proof of principle on temperature data indicates that it might also be possible to improve foreground polarization templates from the same input data.

Superstatistics is a general method from nonequilibrium statistical physics which has been applied to a variety of complex systems, ranging from hydrodynamic turbulence to traffic delays and air pollution dynamics. Here, we investigate water quality time series (such as dissolved oxygen concentrations and electrical conductivity) as measured in rivers, and provide evidence that they exhibit superstatistical behaviour. Our main example are time series as recorded in the river Chess in South East England. Specifically, we use seasonal detrending and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to separate trends from fluctuations for the measured data. With either detrending method, we observe heavy-tailed fluctuation distributions, which are well described by a log-normal superstatistics for dissolved oxygen. Contrarily, we find a double peaked non-standard superstatistics for the electrical conductivity data, which we model using two combined $\chi^2$-distributions.

Preserving Privacy in Personalized Models for Distributed Mobile Services

The ubiquity of mobile devices has led to the proliferation of mobile services that provide personalized and context-aware content to their users. Modern mobile services are distributed between end-devices, such as smartphones, and remote servers that reside in the cloud. Such services thrive on their ability to predict future contexts to pre-fetch content or make context-specific recommendations. An increasingly common method to predict future contexts, such as location, is via machine learning (ML) models. Recent work in context prediction has focused on ML model personalization where a personalized model is learned for each individual user in order to tailor predictions or recommendations to a user's mobile behavior. While the use of personalized models increases efficacy of the mobile service, we argue that it increases privacy risk since a personalized model encodes contextual behavior unique to each user. To demonstrate these privacy risks, we present several attribute inference-based privacy attacks and show that such attacks can leak privacy with up to 78% efficacy for top-3 predictions. We present Pelican, a privacy-preserving personalization system for context-aware mobile services that leverages both device and cloud resources to personalize ML models while minimizing the risk of privacy leakage for users. We evaluate Pelican using real world traces for location-aware mobile services and show that Pelican can substantially reduce privacy leakage by up to 75%.

Let $\F\subset 2^{[n]}$ be a family of subsets of $\{1,2,..., n\}$. For any poset $H$, we say $\F$ is $H$-free if $\F$ does not contain any subposet isomorphic to $H$. Katona and others have investigated the behavior of $\La(n,H)$, which denotes the maximum size of $H$-free families $\F\subset 2^{[n]}$. Here we use a new approach, which is to apply methods from extremal graph theory and probability theory to identify new classes of posets $H$, for which $\La(n,H)$ can be determined asymptotically as $n\to\infty$ for various posets $H$, including two-end-forks, up-down trees, and cycles $C_{4k}$ on two levels.

Dropped Pronouns (DP) in which pronouns are frequently dropped in the source language but should be retained in the target language are challenge in machine translation. In response to this problem, we propose a semi-supervised approach to recall possibly missing pronouns in the translation. Firstly, we build training data for DP generation in which the DPs are automatically labelled according to the alignment information from a parallel corpus. Secondly, we build a deep learning-based DP generator for input sentences in decoding when no corresponding references exist. More specifically, the generation is two-phase: (1) DP position detection, which is modeled as a sequential labelling task with recurrent neural networks; and (2) DP prediction, which employs a multilayer perceptron with rich features. Finally, we integrate the above outputs into our translation system to recall missing pronouns by both extracting rules from the DP-labelled training data and translating the DP-generated input sentences. Experimental results show that our approach achieves a significant improvement of 1.58 BLEU points in translation performance with 66% F-score for DP generation accuracy.

Planktonic communities are extremely diverse and include a vast number of rare species. The dynamics of these rare species is best described by individual-based models. However, individual-based approaches to planktonic diversity face substantial difficulties, due to the large number of individuals required to make realistic predictions. In this paper, we study diversity of planktonic communities by means of a spatial coalescence model, that incorporates transport by oceanic currents. As a main advantage, our approach requires simulating a number of individuals equal to the size of the sample one is interested in, rather than the size of the entire community. By theoretical analysis and simulations, we explore the conditions upon which our coalescence model is equivalent to individual-based dynamics. As an application, we use our model to predict the impact of chaotic advection by oceanic currents on biodiversity. We conclude that the coalescent approach permits to simulate marine microbial communities much more efficiently than with individual-based models.

In order to compress quantum messages without loss of information it is necessary to allow the length of the encoded messages to vary. We develop a general framework for variable-length quantum messages in close analogy to the classical case and show that lossless compression is only possible if the message to be compressed is known to the sender. The lossless compression of an ensemble of messages is bounded from below by its von-Neumann entropy. We show that it is possible to reduce the number of qbits passing through a quantum channel even below the von-Neumann entropy by adding a classical side-channel. We give an explicit communication protocol that realizes lossless and instantaneous quantum data compression and apply it to a simple example. This protocol can be used for both online quantum communication and storage of quantum data.

We study the backwards Markov chain for the Bak-Sneppen model of biological evolution and derive its corresponding reversibility equations. We show that, in contrast to the forwards Markov chain, the dynamics of the backwards chain explicitly involve the stationary distribution of the model, and from this we derive a functional equation that the stationary distribution must satisfy. We use this functional equation to derive differential equations for the stationary distribution of Bak-Sneppen models in which all but one or all but two of the fitnesses are replaced at each step. This gives a unified way of deriving Schlemm's expressions for the stationary distributions of the isotropic four-species model, the isotropic five-species model, and the anisotropic three-species model.

The Goldstone mode in a helical magnetic phase, also known as the helimagnon, is a propagating mode with a highly anisotropic dispersion relation. Here we study theoretically the helimagnon excitations in a complex chiral ground state of pyrochlore antiferromagnets such as spinel CdCr2O4 and itinerant magnet YMn2. We show that the effective theory of the soft modes in the helical state possesses a symmetry similar to that of smectic liquid crystals. We compute the low-energy spin-wave spectrum based on a microscopic spin Hamiltonian and find a dispersion relation characteristic of the helimagnons. By performing dynamics simulations with realistic model parameters, we also obtain an overall agreement between experiment and the numerical spin-wave spectrum. Our work thus also clarifies the mechanisms that relive the magnetic frustration in these compounds.

We analyze charge transport through a ballistic ferromagnet/insulator/superconductor junction by means of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. We take into account the possibility that ferromagnetism in the first electrode may be driven by a mass renormalization of oppositely polarized carriers, i.e. by a spin bandwidth asymmetry, rather than by a rigid splitting of up-and down-spin electron bands as in a standard Stoner ferromagnet. By evaluating the averaged charge conductance for both an s- and a $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave order parameter for the S side, we show that the mass mismatch in the ferromagnetic electrode may mimic a spin active barrier. Indeed, in the $s$-wave case we show that under suitable conditions the spin dependent conductance of minority carriers below the energy gap $\Delta_0$ can be larger than for majority carriers, and lower above $\Delta_0$. On the other hand, for a d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductor similar spin-dependent effects give rise to an asymmetric peak splitting in the conductance. These results suggest that the junction may work as a spin-filtering device.

This work presents a systematic review of recent efforts (since 2010) aimed at automatic analysis of nonverbal cues displayed in face-to-face co-located human-human social interactions. The main reason for focusing on nonverbal cues is that these are the physical, machine detectable traces of social and psychological phenomena. Therefore, detecting and understanding nonverbal cues means, at least to a certain extent, to detect and understand social and psychological phenomena. The covered topics are categorized into three as: a) modeling social traits, such as leadership, dominance, personality traits, b) social role recognition and social relations detection and c) interaction dynamics analysis in terms of group cohesion, empathy, rapport and so forth. We target the co-located interactions, in which the interactants are always humans. The survey covers a wide spectrum of settings and scenarios, including free-standing interactions, meetings, indoor and outdoor social exchanges, dyadic conversations, and crowd dynamics. For each of them, the survey considers the three main elements of nonverbal cues analysis, namely data, sensing approaches and computational methodologies. The goal is to highlight the main advances of the last decade, to point out existing limitations, and to outline future directions.

Feshbach scattering resonances are being utilized in atomic gases to explore the entire crossover region from a Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) of composite bosons to a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) of Cooper pairs. Several theoretical descriptions of the crossover have been developed based on an assumption that the fermionic interactions are dependent only on the value of a single microscopic parameter, the scattering length for the interaction of fermion particles. Such a picture is not universal, however, and is only applicable to describe a system with an energetically broad Feshbach resonance. In the more general case in which narrow Feshbach resonances are included in the discussion, one must consider how the energy dependence of the scattering phase shift affects the physical properties of the system. We develop a theoretical framework which allows for a tuning of the scattering phase shift and its energy dependence, whose parameters can be fixed from realistic scattering solutions of the atomic physics. We show that BCS-like nonlocal solutions may build up in conditions of resonance scattering, depending on the effective range of the interactions.

We consider a one-parameter family of nonlinear coherent states by replacing the factorial in coefficients of the canonical coherent states by a specific generalized factorial depending on a parameter gamma. These states are superposition of eigenstates of the Hamiltonian with a symmetric Poschl-Teller potential depending on a parameter nu > 1. The associated Bargmann-type transform is defined for equal parameters. Some results on the infinite square well potential are also derived. For some different values of gamma, we discuss two sets of orthogonal polynomials that are naturally attached to these coherent states.

The convergence rate of equilibrium measures of N-player Games with Brownian common noise to its asymptotic Mean Field Game system is known as 1/9 with respect to 1-Wasserstein distance, obtained by the monograph [Cardaliaguet, Delarue, Lasry, Lions (2019)]. In this work, we study the convergence rate of the N-player LQG game with a Markov chain common noise towards its asymptotic Mean Field Game. The approach relies on an explicit coupling of the optimal trajectory of the N-player game driven by N-dimensional Brownian motion and Mean Field Game counterpart driven by one-dimensional Brownian motion. As a result, the convergence rate is 1/2 with respect to the 2-Wasserstein distance.

In this paper we consider a coupled bulk-surface PDE in two space dimensions. The model consists of a PDE in the bulk that is coupled to another PDE on the surface through general nonlinear boundary conditions. For such a system we propose a novel method, based on coupling a virtual element method [Beir\~ao da Veiga et al., 2013] in the bulk domain to a surface finite element method [Dziuk & Elliott, 2013] on the surface. The proposed method, which we coin the Bulk-Surface Virtual Element Method (BSVEM) includes, as a special case, the bulk-surface finite element method (BSFEM) on triangular meshes [Madzvamuse & Chung, 2016]. The method exhibits second-order convergence in space, provided the exact solution is $H^{2+1/4}$ in the bulk and $H^2$ on the surface, where the additional $\frac{1}{4}$ is required only in the simultaneous presence of surface curvature and non-triangular elements. Two novel techniques introduced in our analysis are (i) an $L^2$-preserving inverse trace operator for the analysis of boundary conditions and (ii) the Sobolev extension as a replacement of the lifting operator [Elliott & Ranner, 2013] for sufficiently smooth exact solutions. The generality of the polygonal mesh can be exploited to optimize the computational time of matrix assembly. The method takes an optimised matrix-vector form that also simplifies the known special case of BSFEM on triangular meshes [Madzvamuse & Chung, 2016]. Three numerical examples illustrate our findings.

We propose a physical theory underlying the temporal evolution of competing virus variants that relies on the existence of (quasi) fixed points capturing the large time scale invariance of the dynamics. To motivate our result we first modify the time-honoured compartmental models of the SIR type to account for the existence of competing variants and then show how their evolution can be naturally re-phrased in terms of flow equations ending at quasi fixed points. As the natural next step we employ (near) scale invariance to organise the time evolution of the competing variants within the effective description of the epidemic Renormalization Group framework. We test the resulting theory against the time evolution of COVID-19 virus variants that validate the theory empirically.

Recent advances in spoken language understanding benefited from Self-Supervised models trained on large speech corpora. For French, the LeBenchmark project has made such models available and has led to impressive progress on several tasks including spoken language understanding. These advances have a non-negligible cost in terms of computation time and energy consumption. In this paper, we compare several learning strategies aiming at reducing such cost while keeping competitive performances. The experiments are performed on the MEDIA corpus, and show that it is possible to reduce the learning cost while maintaining state-of-the-art performances.

Hybridisation is a powerful strategy towards the next generation of multifunctional materials for environmental and sustainable energy applications. Here, we report a new inorganic nanocarbon hybrid material prepared with atomically controlled deposition of a monocrystalline TiO2 layer that conformally coats a macroscopic carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber. Through X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and photoemission spectroscopy we detect the formation of a covalent Ti-O-C bond at the TiO2/CNT interface and a residual strain of approximately 0.7-2 \%, which is tensile in TiO2 and compressive in the CNT. It arises after deposition of the amorphous oxide onto the CNT surface previously functionalized by the oxygen plasma used in ALD. These features are observed in samples of different TiO2 thickness, in the range from 10 to 80 nm. Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy on a 20 nm-thick TiO2 coated sample gives a work function of 4.27 eV, between that of TiO2 (4.23 eV) and the CNT fiber (4.41 eV), and the presence of new interband gap states that shift the valence band maximum to 1.05 eV below the Fermi level. Photoelectrochemical measurements demonstrate electron transfer from TiO2 to the CNT fiber network under UV irradiation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements reveal a low resistance for charge transfer and transport, as well as a large capacitance. Our results point to the fact that these hybrids, in which each phase has nanometric thickness and the current collector is integrated into the material, are very different from conventional electrodes and can provide a number of superior properties.

The next to leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to J/psi polarization of hadronproduction at Tevatron and LHC are calculated. The results show that the J/psi polarization is extremely changed from more transversal polarization at leading order (LO) into more longitudinal polarization at NLO. Although it gives more longitudinal polarization than the recent experimental result on the J/psi polarization at Tevatron. It sheds light on the solution to the large discrepancy of J/psi polarization between theoretical predication and experimental measurement, and suggests that the next important step is to calculate the NLO correction for color octet state J/psi^{(8)} hadronproduction. Our calculations are performed in two ways where the polarizations are summed analytically or not, and they are checked with each other. It also gives a K factor for total cross section (ratio of NLO to LO) of about 2 and shows that the NLO corrections boost the J/psi production for about 2 order of magnitude in high transverse momentum p_t region of J/psi, which confirms the calculation by Campbell, Maltoni and Tramontano.

The reconstruction of microbial genomes from large metagenomic datasets is a critical procedure for finding uncultivated microbial populations and defining their microbial functional roles. To achieve that, we need to perform metagenomic binning, clustering the assembled contigs into draft genomes. Despite the existing computational tools, most of them neglect one important property of the metagenomic data, that is, the noise. To further improve the metagenomic binning step and reconstruct better metagenomes, we propose a deep Contrastive Learning framework for Metagenome Binning (CLMB), which can efficiently eliminate the disturbance of noise and produce more stable and robust results. Essentially, instead of denoising the data explicitly, we add simulated noise to the training data and force the deep learning model to produce similar and stable representations for both the noise-free data and the distorted data. Consequently, the trained model will be robust to noise and handle it implicitly during usage. CLMB outperforms the previous state-of-the-art binning methods significantly, recovering the most near-complete genomes on almost all the benchmarking datasets (up to 17\% more reconstructed genomes compared to the second-best method). It also improves the performance of bin refinement, reconstructing 8-22 more high-quality genomes and 15-32 more middle-quality genomes than the second-best result. Impressively, in addition to being compatible with the binning refiner, single CLMB even recovers on average 15 more HQ genomes than the refiner of VAMB and Maxbin on the benchmarking datasets. CLMB is open-source and available at https://github.com/zpf0117b/CLMB/.

General multi-objective optimization problems are often solved by a sequence of parametric single objective problems, so-called scalarizations. If the set of nondominated points is finite, and if an appropriate scalarization is employed, the entire nondominated set can be generated in this way. In the bicriteria case it is well known that this can be realized by an adaptive approach which, given an appropriate initial search space, requires the solution of a number of subproblems which is at most two times the number of nondominated points. For higher dimensional problems, no linear methods were known up to now. We present a new procedure for finding the entire nondominated set of tricriteria optimization problems for which the number of scalarized subproblems to be solved is at most three times the number of nondominated points of the underlying problem. The approach includes an iterative update of the search space that, given a (sub-)set of nondominated points, describes the area in which additional nondominated points may be located. In particular, we show that the number of boxes, into which the search space is decomposed, depends linearly on the number of nondominated points.

This paper presents a new optimisation approach to train Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) with discriminative sequence criteria. At each iteration, the method combines information from the Natural Gradient (NG) direction with local curvature information of the error surface that enables better paths on the parameter manifold to be traversed. The method is derived using an alternative derivation of Taylor's theorem using the concepts of manifolds, tangent vectors and directional derivatives from the perspective of Information Geometry. The efficacy of the method is shown within a Hessian Free (HF) style optimisation framework to sequence train both standard fully-connected DNNs and Time Delay Neural Networks as speech recognition acoustic models. It is shown that for the same number of updates the proposed approach achieves larger reductions in the word error rate (WER) than both NG and HF, and also leads to a lower WER than standard stochastic gradient descent. The paper also addresses the issue of over-fitting due to mismatch between training criterion and Word Error Rate (WER) that primarily arises during sequence training of ReLU-DNN models.

The isothermal magnetic entropy changes are studied in Ni80Fe20/Ni67Cu33/Co90Cu10/Mn80Ir20 stacks at temperatures near the Curie point of the Ni67Cu33 spacer by applying magnetic fields in a few tens of Oersted. Such low fields were sufficient for toggling magnetic moments in the soft ferromagnetic (FM) layer (Ni80Fe20). It is found out that this switching provides the magnetic entropy change, which is up to 20 times larger than that achievable in a single Ni67Cu33 film subjected to such low fields. Our finding holds promise to be utilized in the magnetocaloric devices that would be based on FM/PM/FM heterostructures and would operate with moderate magnetic fields.

Periodic driving of optical lattices has enabled the creation of novel bandstructures not realizable in static lattice systems, such as topological bands for neutral particles. However, especially driven systems of interacting bosonic particles often suffer from strong heating. We have systematically studied heating in an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a driven one-dimensional optical lattice. We find interaction-dependent heating rates that depend both on the scattering length and the driving strength and identify the underlying resonant intra- and interband scattering processes. By comparing experimental data and theory, we find that for driving frequencies well above the trap depth, the heating rate is dramatically reduced by the fact that resonantly scattered atoms leave the trap before dissipating their energy into the system. This mechanism of Floquet evaporative cooling offers a powerful strategy to minimize heating in Floquet engineered quantum gases.

We address talker-independent monaural speaker separation from the perspectives of deep learning and computational auditory scene analysis (CASA). Specifically, we decompose the multi-speaker separation task into the stages of simultaneous grouping and sequential grouping. Simultaneous grouping is first performed in each time frame by separating the spectra of different speakers with a permutation-invariantly trained neural network. In the second stage, the frame-level separated spectra are sequentially grouped to different speakers by a clustering network. The proposed deep CASA approach optimizes frame-level separation and speaker tracking in turn, and produces excellent results for both objectives. Experimental results on the benchmark WSJ0-2mix database show that the new approach achieves the state-of-the-art results with a modest model size.

We describe a new realization of Ghose, Home, Agarwal experiment on wave particle duality of light where some limitations of the former experiment, realized by Mizobuchi and Ohtake, are overcome. Our results clearly indicate that wave-particle complementarity must be understood between interference and "whelcher weg" knowledge and not in a more general sense.

The Haldane gap material NENP exhibits anomalies in its Knight shift, far infrared absorption and field-dependent gaps, which have been explained using the staggered $g$-tensor that occurs due to the low crystal symmetry. We point out that the low-temperature susceptibility is also anomalous and that a consistent interpretation of all data may require consideration of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.
