Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is an efficient way to improve the performance of traditional client-server systems. Currently, there are two main design paradigms for RDMA-accelerated systems. The first allows the clients to directly operate the server's memory and totally bypasses the CPUs at server side. The second follows the traditional server-reply paradigm, which asks the server to write results back to the clients. However, the first method has to expose server's memory and needs tremendous re-design of upper-layer software, which is complex, unsafe, error-prone, and inefficient. The second cannot achieve high input/output operations per second (IOPS), because it employs out-bound RDMA-write at server side which is not efficient. We find that the performance of out-bound RDMA-write and in-bound RDMA-read is asymmetric and the latter is 5 times faster than the former. Based on this observation, we propose a novel design paradigm named Remote Fetching Paradigm (RFP). In RFP, the server is still responsible for processing requests from the clients. However, counter-intuitively, instead of sending results back to the clients through out-bound RDMA-write, the server only writes the results in local memory buffers, and the clients use in-bound RDMA-read to remotely fetch these results. Since in-bound RDMA-read achieves much higher IOPS than out-bound RDMA-write, our model is able to bring higher performance than the traditional models. In order to prove the effectiveness of RFP, we design and implement an RDMA-accelerated in-memory key-value store following the RFP model. To further improve the IOPS, we propose an optimization mechanism that combines status checking and result fetching. Experiment results show that RFP can improve the IOPS by 160%~310% against state-of-the-art models for in-memory key-value stores.

In this work, we analyze the regularizing property of the stochastic gradient descent for the efficient numerical solution of a class of nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems in Hilbert spaces. At each step of the iteration, the method randomly chooses one equation from the nonlinear system to obtain an unbiased stochastic estimate of the gradient, and then performs a descent step with the estimated gradient. It is a randomized version of the classical Landweber method for nonlinear inverse problems, and it is highly scalable to the problem size and holds significant potentials for solving large-scale inverse problems. Under the canonical tangential cone condition, we prove the regularizing property for a priori stopping rules, and then establish the convergence rates under suitable sourcewise condition and range invariance condition.

Handwritten mathematical expression recognition (HMER) is an important research direction in handwriting recognition. The performance of HMER suffers from the two-dimensional structure of mathematical expressions (MEs). To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a high-performance HMER model with scale augmentation and drop attention. Specifically, tackling ME with unstable scale in both horizontal and vertical directions, scale augmentation improves the performance of the model on MEs of various scales. An attention-based encoder-decoder network is used for extracting features and generating predictions. In addition, drop attention is proposed to further improve performance when the attention distribution of the decoder is not precise. Compared with previous methods, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on two public datasets of CROHME 2014 and CROHME 2016.

We report the results of inelastic neutron scattering experiments performed with triple-axis spectrometers to investigate the low-temperature collective dynamics in the ordered phase of uranium dioxide. The results are in excellent agreement with the predictions of mean-field RPA calculations emphasizing the importance of multipolar superexchange interactions. By comparing neutron scattering intensities in different polarization channels and at equivalent points in different Brillouin zones, we show the mixed magneto-vibrational-quadrupolar character of the observed excitations. The high energy resolution afforded by the cold triple-axis spectrometer allowed us to study in detail the magnon-phonon interaction giving rise to avoided crossings along the $[00\xi]$ reciprocal space direction.

Although recovering an Euclidean distance matrix from noisy observations is a common problem in practice, how well this could be done remains largely unknown. To fill in this void, we study a simple distance matrix estimate based upon the so-called regularized kernel estimate. We show that such an estimate can be characterized as simply applying a constant amount of shrinkage to all observed pairwise distances. This fact allows us to establish risk bounds for the estimate implying that the true distances can be estimated consistently in an average sense as the number of objects increases. In addition, such a characterization suggests an efficient algorithm to compute the distance matrix estimator, as an alternative to the usual second order cone programming known not to scale well for large problems. Numerical experiments and an application in visualizing the diversity of Vpu protein sequences from a recent HIV-1 study further demonstrate the practical merits of the proposed method.

In this article we consider the following weighted nonlinear eigenvalue problem for the $g-$Laplacian $$ -\mathop{\text{ div}}\left( g(|\nabla u|)\frac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}\right) = \lambda w(x) h(|u|)\frac{u}{|u|} \quad \text{ in }\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n, n\geq 1 $$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here $w$ is a suitable weight and $g=G'$ and $h=H'$ are appropriated Young functions satisfying the so called $\Delta'$ condition, which includes for instance logarithmic perturbation of powers and different power behaviors near zero and infinity. We prove several properties on its spectrum, being our main goal to obtain lower bounds of eigenvalues in terms of $G$, $H$, $w$ and the normalization $\mu$ of the corresponding eigenfunctions. We introduce some new strategies to obtain results that generalize several inequalities from the literature of $p-$Laplacian type eigenvalues.

The spectral radius and rank of a graph are defined to be the spectral radius and rank of its adjacency matrix, respectively. It is an important problem in spectral extremal graph theory to determine the extremal graph that has the maximum or minimum spectral radius over certain families of graphs. Monsalve and Rada [Extremal spectral radius of graphs with rank 4, Linear Algebra Appl. 609 (2021) 1-11] obtained the extremal graphs with maximum and minimum spectral radii among all graphs with order n and rank 4. In this paper, we first determine the extremal graph which attains the maximum spectral radius among all graphs with any given order n and rank r, and further determine the extremal graph which attains the minimum spectral radius among all graphs with order n and rank 5.

In an interesting recent paper on the growth of inhomogeneity through the effect of gravity [1], Bertschinger and Hamilton derive equations for the electric and magnetic parts of the Weyl tensor for cold dust for both General Relativity and Newtonian theory. Their conclusion is that both in General Relativity and in Newtonian theory, in general the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor does not vanish, implying that the Lagrangian evolution of the fluid is not local. We show here that the `Newtonian' theory discussed by them is in fact not Newtonian theory {\it per se}, but rather a plausible relativistic generalisation of Newtonian theory. Newtonian cosmology itself is highly non-local irrespective of the behaviour of the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor; in this respect the Bertschinger-Hamilton generalisation is a better theory.

Topological Insulators (TIs) are unique materials where insulating bulk hosts linearly dispersing surface states protected by the Time-Reversal Symmetry (TRS). These states lead to dissipationless current flow, which makes this class of materials highly promising for spintronic applications. Here, we predict new TIs via high-throughput screening by employing state-of-the-art first-principles based methodologies, viz., Density Functional Theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory (G0W0) combined with Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC). For this, we take a well-known 3D TI, TlBiSe2 and perform complete substitution with suitable materials at different sites to check if the obtained isostructural materials exhibit topological properties. Subsequently, we scan these materials based on SOC-induced parity inversion at Time-Reversal Invariant Momenta (TRIM). Later, to confirm the topological nature of selected materials, we plot their surface states along with calculation of Z2 invariants. Our results show that GaBiSe2 is a Strong Topological Insulator (STI). Besides, we report six Weak Topological Insulators (WTIs) viz. PbBiSe2, SnBiSe2, SbBiSe2, Bi2Se2, TlSnSe2 and PbSbSe2. We have further verified that all the reported TIs are dynamically stable showing all real phonon modes of vibration.

Based on a true phase space probability distribution function and an ensemble averaging procedure we have recently developed [Phys. Rev. E 65, 021109 (2002)] a non-Markovian quantum Kramers' equation to derive the quantum rate coefficient for barrier crossing due to thermal activation and tunneling in the intermediate to strong friction regime. We complement and extend this approach to weak friction regime to derive quantum Kramers' equation in energy space and the rate of decay from a metastable well. The theory is valid for arbitrary temperature and noise correlation. We show that depending on the nature of the potential there may be a net reduction of the total quantum rate below its corresponding classical value which is in conformity with earlier observation. The method is independent of path integral approaches and takes care of quantum effects to all orders.

We present the results of a deep (15 ~< r ~< 23), 20 night survey for transiting planets in the intermediate age open cluster M37 (NGC 2099) using the Megacam wide-field mosaic CCD camera on the 6.5m MMT. We do not detect any transiting planets among the ~1450 observed cluster members. We do, however, identify a ~ 1 R_J candidate planet transiting a ~ 0.8 Msun Galactic field star with a period of 0.77 days. The source is faint (V = 19.85 mag) and has an expected velocity semi-amplitude of K ~ 220 m/s (M/M_J). We conduct Monte Carlo transit injection and recovery simulations to calculate the 95% confidence upper limit on the fraction of cluster members and field stars with planets as a function of planetary radius and orbital period. Assuming a uniform logarithmic distribution in orbital period, we find that < 1.1%, < 2.7% and < 8.3% of cluster members have 1.0 R_J planets within Extremely Hot Jupiter (EHJ, 0.4 < T < 1.0 day), Very Hot Jupiter (VHJ, 1.0 < T < 3.0 days) and Hot Jupiter (HJ, 3.0 < T < 5.0 days) period ranges respectively. For 0.5 R_J planets the limits are < 3.2%, and < 21% for EHJ and VHJ period ranges, while for 0.35 R_J planets we can only place an upper limit of < 25% on the EHJ period range. For a sample of 7814 Galactic field stars, consisting primarily of FGKM dwarfs, we place 95% upper limits of < 0.3%, < 0.8% and < 2.7% on the fraction of stars with 1.0 R_J EHJ, VHJ and HJ assuming the candidate planet is not genuine. If the candidate is genuine, the frequency of ~ 1.0 R_J planets in the EHJ period range is 0.002% < f_EHJ < 0.5% with 95% confidence. We place limits of < 1.4%, < 8.8% and < 47% for 0.5 R_J planets, and a limit of < 16% on 0.3 R_J planets in the EHJ period range. This is the first transit survey to place limits on the fraction of stars with planets as small as Neptune.

We present a quantitative analysis of the largest contiguous maps of projected mass density obtained from gravitational lensing shear. We use data from the 154 deg2 covered by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey. Our study is the first attempt to quantitatively characterize the scientific value of lensing maps, which could serve in the future as a complementary approach to the study of the dark universe with gravitational lensing. We show that mass maps contain unique cosmological information beyond that of traditional two-points statistical analysis techniques. Using a series of numerical simulations, we first show how, reproducing the CFHTLenS observing conditions, gravitational lensing inversion provides a reliable estimate of the projected matter distribution of large scale structure. We validate our analysis by quantifying the robustness of the maps with various statistical estimators. We then apply the same process to the CFHTLenS data. We find that the 2-points correlation function of the projected mass is consistent with the cosmological analysis performed on the shear correlation function discussed in the CFHTLenS companion papers. The maps also lead to a significant measurement of the third order moment of the projected mass, which is in agreement with analytic predictions, and to a marginal detection of the fourth order moment. Tests for residual systematics are found to be consistent with zero for the statistical estimators we used. A new approach for the comparison of the reconstructed mass map to that predicted from the galaxy distribution reveals the existence of giant voids in the dark matter maps as large as 3 degrees on the sky. Our analysis shows that lensing mass maps can be used for new techniques such as peak statistics and the morphological analysis of the projected dark matter distribution.

We propose that a charged two-condensate Bose system possesses point-like topological defects which can be interpreted as magnetic monopoles. By making use of the $\phi$-mapping theory, the topological charges of these magnetic monopoles can be expressed in terms of the Hopf indices and Brouwer degree of the $\phi$-mapping.

The control of a quadrotor is typically split into two subsequent problems: finding desired accelerations to control its position, and controlling its attitude and the total thrust to track these accelerations and to track a yaw angle reference. While the thrust vector, generating accelerations, and the angle of rotation about the thrust vector, determining the yaw angle, can be controlled independently, most attitude control strategies in the literature, relying on representations in terms of quaternions, rotation matrices or Euler angles, result in an unnecessary coupling between the control of the thrust vector and of the angle about this vector. This leads, for instance, to undesired position tracking errors due to yaw tracking errors. In this paper we propose to tackle the attitude control problem using an attitude representation in the Cartesian product of the 2-sphere and the 1-sphere, denoted by $\mathcal{S}^2\times \mathcal{S}^1$. We propose a non-linear tracking control law on $\mathcal{S}^2\times \mathcal{S}^1$ that decouples the control of the thrust vector and of the angle of rotation about the thrust vector, and guarantees almost global asymptotic stability. Simulation results highlight the advantages of the proposed approach over previous approaches.

We study the problem of multiway number partition optimization, which has a myriad of applications in the decision, learning and optimization literature. Even though the original multiway partitioning problem is NP-hard and requires exponential time complexity algorithms; we formulate an easier optimization problem, where our goal is to find a solution that is locally optimal. We propose a linearithmic time complexity $O(N\log N)$ algorithm that can produce such a locally optimal solution. Our method is robust against the input and requires neither positive nor integer inputs.

The Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau formalism with vector and scalar potentials is used to point out a few misconceptions diffused in the literature. It is explicitly shown that the scalar coupling makes the DKP formalism not equivalent to the Klein-Gordon formalism or to the Proca formalism, and that the spin-1 sector of the DKP theory looks formally like the spin-0 sector. With proper boundary conditions, scattering of massive bosons in an arbitrary mixed vector-scalar square step potential is explored in a simple way and effects due to the scalar coupling on the particle-antiparticle production and localization of bosons are analyzed in some detail.

Recently observed Aharonov-Bohm quantum interference of period h/2e in charge density wave rings strongly suggest that correlated density wave electron transport is a cooperative quantum phenomenon. The picture discussed here posits that quantum solitons nucleate and transport current above a Coulomb blockade threshold field. We propose a field-dependent tunneling matrix element and use the Schrodinger equation, viewed as an emergent classical equation as in Feynman's treatment of Josephson tunneling, to compute the evolving macrostate amplitudes, finding excellent quantitative agreement with voltage oscillations and current-voltage characteristics in NbSe3. A proposed phase diagram shows the conditions favoring soliton nucleation versus classical depinning. (Published in Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 036404 (2012).)

Based on examples from superstring/D-brane theory since the work of Douglas and Moore on resolution of singularities of a superstring target-space $Y$ via a D-brane probe, the richness and the complexity of the stack of punctual D0-branes on a variety, and as a guiding question, we lay down a conjecture that any resolution $Y^{\prime}\rightarrow Y$ of a variety $Y$ over ${\Bbb C}$ can be factored through an embedding of $Y^{\prime}$ into the stack ${\frak M}^{0^{A z^f}_{\;p}}_r (Y)$ of punctual D0-branes of rank $r$ on $Y$ for $r\ge r_0$ in ${\Bbb N}$, where $r_0$ depends on the germ of singularities of $Y$. We prove that this conjecture holds for the resolution $\rho: C^{\prime}\rightarrow C$ of a reduced singular curve $C$ over ${\Bbb C}$. In string-theoretical language, this says that the resolution $C^{\prime}$ of a singular curve $C$ always arises from an appropriate D0-brane aggregation on $C$ and that the rank of the Chan-Paton module of the D0-branes involved can be chosen to be arbitrarily large.

Privacy-preserving genomic data sharing is prominent to increase the pace of genomic research, and hence to pave the way towards personalized genomic medicine. In this paper, we introduce ($\epsilon , T$)-dependent local differential privacy (LDP) for privacy-preserving sharing of correlated data and propose a genomic data sharing mechanism under this privacy definition. We first show that the original definition of LDP is not suitable for genomic data sharing, and then we propose a new mechanism to share genomic data. The proposed mechanism considers the correlations in data during data sharing, eliminates statistically unlikely data values beforehand, and adjusts the probability distributions for each shared data point accordingly. By doing so, we show that we can avoid an attacker from inferring the correct values of the shared data points by utilizing the correlations in the data. By adjusting the probability distributions of the shared states of each data point, we also improve the utility of shared data for the data collector. Furthermore, we develop a greedy algorithm that strategically identifies the processing order of the shared data points with the aim of maximizing the utility of the shared data. Considering the interdependent privacy risks while sharing genomic data, we also analyze the information gain of an attacker about genomes of a donor's family members by observing perturbed data of the genome donor and we propose a mechanism to select the privacy budget (i.e., $\epsilon$ parameter of LDP) of the donor by also considering privacy preferences of her family members. Our evaluation results on a real-life genomic dataset show the superiority of the proposed mechanism compared to the randomized response mechanism (a widely used technique to achieve LDP).

The neural network needs excessive costs of time because of the complexity of architecture when trained on images. Transfer learning and fine-tuning can help improve time and cost efficiency when training a neural network. Yet, Transfer learning and fine-tuning needs a lot of experiment to try with. Therefore, a method to find the best architecture for transfer learning and fine-tuning is needed. To overcome this problem, neuro-evolution using a genetic algorithm can be used to find the best architecture for transfer learning. To check the performance of this study, dataset ChestX-Ray 14 and DenseNet-121 as a base neural network model are used. This study used the AUC score, differences in execution time for training, and McNemar's test to the significance test. In terms of result, this study got a 5% difference in the AUC score, 3 % faster in terms of execution time, and significance in most of the disease detection. Finally, this study gives a concrete summary of how neuro-evolution transfer learning can help in terms of transfer learning and fine-tuning.

We present the discovery of an $18.5\pm0.5$M$_{\rm Jup}$ brown dwarf (BD) companion to the M0V star TOI-1278. The system was first identified through a percent-deep transit in TESS photometry; further analysis showed it to be a grazing transit of a Jupiter-sized object. Radial velocity (RV) follow-up with the SPIRou near-infrared high-resolution velocimeter and spectropolarimeter in the framework of the 300-night SPIRou Legacy Survey (SLS) carried out at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) led to the detection of a Keplerian RV signal with a semi-amplitude of $2306\pm10$ m/s in phase with the 14.5-day transit period, having a slight but non-zero eccentricity. The intermediate-mass ratio ($M_\star/M_{\rm{comp}} \sim31$) is unique for having such a short separation ($0.095\pm0.001$ AU) among known M-dwarf systems. Interestingly, M dwarf-brown dwarf systems with similar mass ratios exist with separations of tens to thousands of AUs.

Transformers have been showing near-human performance on a variety of tasks, but they are not without their limitations. We discuss the issue of conflating results of transformers that are instructed to do multiple tasks simultaneously. In particular, we focus on the domain of commonsense reasoning within story prose, which we call contextual commonsense inference (CCI). We look at the GLUCOSE (Mostafazadeh et al. 2020) dataset and task for predicting implicit commonsense inferences between story sentences. Since the GLUCOSE task simultaneously generates sentences and predicts the CCI relation, there is a conflation in the results. Is the model really measuring CCI or is its ability to generate grammatical text carrying the results? In this paper, we introduce the task contextual commonsense inference in sentence selection ($\rm{C {\small IS}}^2$), a simplified task that avoids conflation by eliminating language generation altogether. Our findings emphasize the necessity of future work to disentangle language generation from the desired NLP tasks at hand.

A Two-stream Neural Network for Pose-based Hand Gesture Recognition

Pose based hand gesture recognition has been widely studied in the recent years. Compared with full body action recognition, hand gesture involves joints that are more spatially closely distributed with stronger collaboration. This nature requires a different approach from action recognition to capturing the complex spatial features. Many gesture categories, such as "Grab" and "Pinch", have very similar motion or temporal patterns posing a challenge on temporal processing. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a two-stream neural network with one stream being a self-attention based graph convolutional network (SAGCN) extracting the short-term temporal information and hierarchical spatial information, and the other being a residual-connection enhanced bidirectional Independently Recurrent Neural Network (RBi-IndRNN) for extracting long-term temporal information. The self-attention based graph convolutional network has a dynamic self-attention mechanism to adaptively exploit the relationships of all hand joints in addition to the fixed topology and local feature extraction in the GCN. On the other hand, the residual-connection enhanced Bi-IndRNN extends an IndRNN with the capability of bidirectional processing for temporal modelling. The two streams are fused together for recognition. The Dynamic Hand Gesture dataset and First-Person Hand Action dataset are used to validate its effectiveness, and our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.

Diagnosis results are highly dependent on the volume of test set. To derive the most efficient test set, we propose several machine learning based methods to predict the minimum amount of test data that produces relatively accurate diagnosis. By collecting outputs from failing circuits, the feature matrix and label vector are generated, which involves the inference information of the test termination point. Thus we develop a prediction model to fit the data and determine when to terminate testing. The considered methods include LASSO and Support Vector Machine(SVM) where the relationship between goals(label) and predictors(feature matrix) are considered to be linear in LASSO and nonlinear in SVM. Numerical results show that SVM reaches a diagnosis accuracy of 90.4% while deducting the volume of test set by 35.24%.

In two-dimensional systems, it is possible transmute bosons into fermions by use of a Chern-Simons gauge field. Such a mapping is used to compute magnetization processes of two-dimensional magnets. The calculation of the magnetization curve then involves the structure of the Hofstadter problem for the lattice under consideration. Certain features of the Hofstadter butterfly are shown to imply the appearance of magnetization plateaus. While not always successfull, this approach leads to interesting results when applied to the 2D AF magnet SrCu2(BO3)2.

In this paper, we propose a gradient difference based approach to text localization in videos and scene images. The input video frame/ image is first compressed using multilevel 2-D wavelet transform. The edge information of the reconstructed image is found which is further used for finding the maximum gradient difference between the pixels and then the boundaries of the detected text blocks are computed using zero crossing technique. We perform logical AND operation of the text blocks obtained by gradient difference and the zero crossing technique followed by connected component analysis to eliminate the false positives. Finally, the morphological dilation operation is employed on the detected text blocks for scene text localization. The experimental results obtained on publicly available standard datasets illustrate that the proposed method can detect and localize the texts of various sizes, fonts and colors.

The origin of non-extensive thermodynamics in physical systems has been under intense debate for the last decades. Recent results indicate a connection between non-extensive statistics and thermofractals. After reviewing this connection, we analyze how scaling properties of Yang-Mills theory allow the appearance of self-similar structures in gauge fields. The presence of such structures, which actually behave as fractals, allows for recurrent non-perturbative calculations of vertices. It is argued that when a statistical approach is used, the non-extensive statistics is obtained, and the Tsallis entropic index, $q$, is deduced in terms of the field theory parameters. The results are applied to QCD in the one-loop approximation, resulting in a good agreement with the value of $q$ obtained experimentally.

Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCLs) such as air conditioners and water heaters typically maintain their temperature within a preset range using on/off actuation. These types of loads are inherently flexible: many different power consumption trajectories exist that can keep the temperature within range. Decades of research has shown that flexible loads can provide valuable grid services. Quantifying the power and energy capacities of a collection of TCLs is a well-studied problem. However, most works focus on temperature constraints. In this work, we present a characterization of the capacity of a collection of TCLs that considers not only temperature, but also cycling and energy constraints. The characterization leads to a set of convex constraints. A grid operator can use this characterization to compute a feasible power consumption trajectory for an ensemble of TCLs that comes closest to what the operator needs to maintain demand-supply balance. Unlike prior attempts at capacity characterizations incorporating cycling constraints, our results are independent of the algorithm used to coordinate the TCLs.

Masked language modeling (MLM) is one of the key sub-tasks in vision-language pretraining. In the cross-modal setting, tokens in the sentence are masked at random, and the model predicts the masked tokens given the image and the text. In this paper, we observe several key disadvantages of MLM in this setting. First, as captions tend to be short, in a third of the sentences no token is sampled. Second, the majority of masked tokens are stop-words and punctuation, leading to under-utilization of the image. We investigate a range of alternative masking strategies specific to the cross-modal setting that address these shortcomings, aiming for better fusion of text and image in the learned representation. When pre-training the LXMERT model, our alternative masking strategies consistently improve over the original masking strategy on three downstream tasks, especially in low resource settings. Further, our pre-training approach substantially outperforms the baseline model on a prompt-based probing task designed to elicit image objects. These results and our analysis indicate that our method allows for better utilization of the training data.

Drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion measurements are reported for a Negative Ion TPC (NITPC) operating with Helium + carbon disulfide gas mixtures at total pressures from 160 to 700 torr. Longitudinal diffusion at the thermal-limit was observed for drift fields up to at least 700 V/cm in all gas mixtures tested. The results are of particular interest in connection with mechanical simplification of Dark Matter searches such as DRIFT, and for high energy physics experiments in which a low-Z, low density, gaseous tracking detector with no appreciable Lorentz drift is needed for operation in very high magnetic fields.

We present decay bounds for a broad class of Hermitian matrix functions where the matrix argument is banded or a Kronecker sum of banded matrices. Besides being significantly tighter than previous estimates, the new bounds closely capture the actual (non-monotonic) decay behavior of the entries of functions of matrices with Kronecker sum structure. We also discuss extensions to more general sparse matrices.

We study a simple system of two hyperbolic semi-linear equations, inspired by the Einstein equations. The system, which was introduced in gr-qc/0612136, is a model for singularity formation inside black holes. We show for a particular case of the equations that the system demonstrates a finite time blowup. The singularity that is formed is a null singularity. Then we show that in this particular case the singularity has features that are analogous to known features of models of black-hole interiors - which describe the inner-horizon instability. Our simple system may provide insight into the formation of null singularities inside spinning or charged black holes.

Congestion games model a wide variety of real-world resource congestion problems, such as selfish network routing, traffic route guidance in congested areas, taxi fleet optimization and crowd movement in busy areas. However, existing research in congestion games assumes: (a) deterministic movement of agents between resources; and (b) perfect rationality (i.e. maximizing their own expected value) of all agents. Such assumptions are not reasonable in dynamic domains where decision support has to be provided to humans. For instance, in optimizing the performance of a taxi fleet serving a city, movement of taxis can be involuntary or nondeterministic (decided by the specific customer who hires the taxi) and more importantly, taxi drivers may not follow advice provided by the decision support system (due to bounded rationality of humans). To that end, we contribute: (a) a general framework for representing congestion games under uncertainty for populations with assorted notions of rationality. (b) a scalable approach for solving the decision problem for perfectly rational agents which are in the mix with boundedly rational agents; and (c) a detailed evaluation on a synthetic and realworld data set to illustrate the usefulness of our new approach with respect to key social welfare metrics in the context of an assorted human-agent population. An interesting result from our experiments on a real-world taxi fleet optimization problem is that it is better (in terms of revenue and operational efficiency) for taxi drivers to follow perfectly rational strategies irrespective of the percentage of drivers not following the advice.

Approximation of epidemic models by diffusion processes and their statistical inference

Multidimensional continuous-time Markov jump processes $(Z(t))$ on $\mathbb{Z}^p$ form a usual set-up for modeling $SIR$-like epidemics. However, when facing incomplete epidemic data, inference based on $(Z(t))$ is not easy to be achieved. Here, we start building a new framework for the estimation of key parameters of epidemic models based on statistics of diffusion processes approximating $(Z(t))$. First, \previous results on the approximation of density-dependent $SIR$-like models by diffusion processes with small diffusion coefficient $\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}$, where $N$ is the population size, are generalized to non-autonomous systems. Second, our previous inference results on discretely observed diffusion processes with small diffusion coefficient are extended to time-dependent diffusions. Consistent and asymptotically Gaussian estimates are obtained for a fixed number $n$ of observations, which corresponds to the epidemic context, and for $N\rightarrow \infty$. A correction term, which yields better estimates non asymptotically, is also included. Finally, performances and robustness of our estimators with respect to various parameters such as $R_0$ (the basic reproduction number), $N$, $n$ are investigated on simulations. Two models, $SIR$ and $SIRS$, corresponding to single and recurrent outbreaks, respectively, are used to simulate data. The findings indicate that our estimators have good asymptotic properties and behave noticeably well for realistic numbers of observations and population sizes. This study lays the foundations of a generic inference method currently under extension to incompletely observed epidemic data. Indeed, contrary to the majority of current inference techniques for partially observed processes, which necessitates computer intensive simulations, our method being mostly an analytical approach requires only the classical optimization steps.

We simulate deep images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using semi-empirical models of galaxy formation with only a few basic assumptions and parameters. We project our simulations all the way to the observational domain, adding cosmological and instrumental effects to the images, and analyze them in the same way as real HST images ("forward modeling"). This is a powerful tool for testing and comparing galaxy evolution models, since it allows us to make unbiased comparisons between the predicted and observed distributions of galaxy properties, while automatically taking into account all relevant selection effects. Our semi-empirical models populate each dark matter halo with a galaxy of determined stellar mass and scale radius. We compute the luminosity and spectrum of each simulated galaxy from its evolving stellar mass using stellar population synthesis models. We calculate the intrinsic scatter in the stellar mass-halo mass relation that naturally results from enforcing a monotonically increasing stellar mass along the merger history of each halo. The simulated galaxy images are drawn from cutouts of real galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, with sizes and fluxes rescaled to match those of the model galaxies. The distributions of galaxy luminosities, sizes, and surface brightnesses depend on the adjustable parameters in the models, and they agree well with observations for reasonable values of those parameters. Measured galaxy magnitudes and sizes have significant magnitude-dependent biases, with both being underestimated near the magnitude detection limit. The fraction of galaxies detected and fraction of light detected also depend sensitively on the details of the model.

A mesoscopic ring subject to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction and sequentially coupled to an interacting quantum dot, in the presence of Aharonov-Bohm flux, is proposed as a flux tunable tunneling diode. The analysis of the conductance by means of the nonequilibrium Green's function technique, shows an intrinsic bistability at varying the Aharonov-Bohm flux when 2U > \pi \Gamma, U being the charging energy on the dot and \Gamma the effective resonance width. The bistability properties are discussed in connection with spin-switch effects and logical storage device applications.

We report the first systematic measurements of the Raman scattering by electrons in elemental metals of Al, Mo, Nb, Os, Pb, Re, Ta, Ti, V, W and metallic compound La$B_6$. Experimental spectra are modelled on the base of the band structures, calculated within the density functional theory, taking properly into account the effects of electron-phonon scattering. The agreement between our measured and calculated spectra is excellent for the variety of metals, thus providing estimates for the electron-phonon coupling constants and temperature-dependent relaxation rates. The method can be applied for other metallic materials to evaluate an electron-phonon coupling as an alternative to the transport and optical measurements.

Critical current destabilizing perpendicular magnetization by the spin Hall effect

The critical current needed to destabilize the magnetization of a perpendicular ferromagnet via the spin Hall effect is studied. Both the dampinglike and fieldlike torques associated with the spin current generated by the spin Hall effect is included in the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation to model the system. In the absence of the fieldlike torque, the critical current is independent of the damping constant and is much larger than that of conventional spin torque switching of collinear magnetic systems, as in magnetic tunnel junctions. With the fieldlike torque included, we find that the critical current scales with the damping constant as $\alpha^{0}$ (i.e., damping independent),$\alpha$, and $\alpha^{1/2}$ depending on the sign of the fieldlike torque and other parameters such as the external field. Numerical and analytical results show that the critical current can be significantly reduced when the fieldlike torque possesses the appropriate sign, i.e. when the effective field associated with the fieldlike torque is pointing opposite to the spin direction of the incoming electrons. These results provide a pathway to reducing the current needed to switch magnetization using the spin Hall effect.

In this paper, an underlay cognitive radio network that consists of an arbitrary number of secondary users (SU) is considered, in which the primary user (PU) employs Type-I Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ). Exploiting the redundancy in PU retransmissions, each SU receiver applies forward interference cancelation to remove a successfully decoded PU message in the subsequent PU retransmissions. The knowledge of the PU message state at the SU receivers and the ACK/NACK message from the PU receiver are sent back to the transmitters. With this approach and using a Constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP) model and Constrained Multi-agent MDP (CMMDP), centralized and decentralized optimum access policies for SUs are proposed to maximize their average sum throughput under a PU throughput constraint. In the decentralized case, the channel access decision of each SU is unknown to the other SU. Numerical results demonstrate the benefits of the proposed policies in terms of sum throughput of SUs. The results also reveal that the centralized access policy design outperforms the decentralized design especially when the PU can tolerate a low average long term throughput. Finally, the difficulties in decentralized access policy design with partial state information are discussed.

Training deep convolutional neural networks usually requires a large amount of labeled data. However, it is expensive and time-consuming to annotate data for medical image segmentation tasks. In this paper, we present a novel uncertainty-aware semi-supervised framework for left atrium segmentation from 3D MR images. Our framework can effectively leverage the unlabeled data by encouraging consistent predictions of the same input under different perturbations. Concretely, the framework consists of a student model and a teacher model, and the student model learns from the teacher model by minimizing a segmentation loss and a consistency loss with respect to the targets of the teacher model. We design a novel uncertainty-aware scheme to enable the student model to gradually learn from the meaningful and reliable targets by exploiting the uncertainty information. Experiments show that our method achieves high performance gains by incorporating the unlabeled data. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art semi-supervised methods, demonstrating the potential of our framework for the challenging semi-supervised problems.

In this work we carry out an exploratory analysis of online conversations on the Italian Facebook during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. We analyze the circulation of controversial topics associated with the origin of the virus, which involve popular targets of misinformation, such as migrants and 5G technology. We collected over 1.5 M posts in Italian language and related to COVID-19, shared by nearly 80k public pages and groups for a period of four months since January 2020. Overall, we find that potentially harmful content shared by unreliable sources is substantially negligible compared to traditional news websites, and that discussions over controversial topics has a limited engagement w.r.t to the pandemic in general. Besides, we highlight a "small-worldness" effect in the URL sharing diffusion network, indicating that users navigating through a limited set of pages could reach almost the entire pool of shared content related to the pandemic, thus being easily exposed to harmful propaganda as well as to verified information on the virus.

Learning Cross-modal Contrastive Features for Video Domain Adaptation

Learning transferable and domain adaptive feature representations from videos is important for video-relevant tasks such as action recognition. Existing video domain adaptation methods mainly rely on adversarial feature alignment, which has been derived from the RGB image space. However, video data is usually associated with multi-modal information, e.g., RGB and optical flow, and thus it remains a challenge to design a better method that considers the cross-modal inputs under the cross-domain adaptation setting. To this end, we propose a unified framework for video domain adaptation, which simultaneously regularizes cross-modal and cross-domain feature representations. Specifically, we treat each modality in a domain as a view and leverage the contrastive learning technique with properly designed sampling strategies. As a result, our objectives regularize feature spaces, which originally lack the connection across modalities or have less alignment across domains. We conduct experiments on domain adaptive action recognition benchmark datasets, i.e., UCF, HMDB, and EPIC-Kitchens, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our components against state-of-the-art algorithms.

A finite set system (FSS) is a pair (V; B) where V is a finite set whose members are called points, equipped with a finite collection of its subsets B whose members are called blocks. In this paper, finite set systems are used to define a class of Quasi-cyclic low- density parity-check (LDPC) codes, called FSS codes, such that the constructed codes possess large girth and arbitrary column-weight distributions. Especially, the constructed column weight-2 FSS codes have higher rates than the column weight-2 geometric and cylinder-type codes with the same girths. To find the maximum girth of FSS codes based on (V; B), inevitable walks are defined in B such that the maximum girth is determined by the smallest length of the inevitable walks in B. Simulation results show that the constructed FSS codes have very good performance over the AWGN channel with iterative decoding and achieve significantly large coding gains compared to the random-like LDPC codes of the same lengths and rates.

Let $(\S^1,d_{\S^1})$ be the unit circle in $\R^2$ endowed with the arclength distance. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a general probability measure $\mu$ to admit a well defined Fr\'echet mean on $(\S^1,d_{\S^1})$. %This criterion allows to recover already known sufficient conditions of existence. We derive a new sufficient condition of existence $P(\alpha,\varphi)$ with no restriction on the support of the measure. Then, we study the convergence of the empirical Fr\'echet mean to the Fr\'echet mean and we give an algorithm to compute it.

In this work we have investigated the effect of Rashba splitting on the RKKY interaction in TI thin film both at finite and zero chemical potential. We find that the spin susceptibility of Rashba materials including TI thin film is strongly dependent on the direction of distance vector. Moreover, we find another term in the off-diagonal terms of the spin-susceptibility tensor which in contrast to the well-known DM-like term is symmetric. We show how one can tune the RKKY interaction by using electric field applied perpendicularly to the surface plane and by small chemical doping giving rise to enhance the RKKY term, drastically. We have presented our results for two different situations, namely inter-surface pairing of magnetic impurities as well as intra-surface one. The behavior of these two situations is completely different which we describe it by mapping the density of states of each surface on the band dispersion.

We study a dynamically generated pattern in height gradients, centered around the active growth site, in the steady state of a self-organised interface depinning model. The pattern has a power-law tail and depends on interface slope. An approximate integral equation relates the profile to local interface readjustments and long-ranged jumps of the active site. The pattern results in a two-point correlation function saturating to a finite value which depends on system size. Pattern formation is generic to systems in which the dynamics leads to correlated motion of the active site.

Informal settlements are home to the most socially and economically vulnerable people on the planet. In order to deliver effective economic and social aid, non-government organizations (NGOs), such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), require detailed maps of the locations of informal settlements. However, data regarding informal and formal settlements is primarily unavailable and if available is often incomplete. This is due, in part, to the cost and complexity of gathering data on a large scale. To address these challenges, we, in this work, provide three contributions. 1) A brand new machine learning data-set, purposely developed for informal settlement detection. 2) We show that it is possible to detect informal settlements using freely available low-resolution (LR) data, in contrast to previous studies that use very-high resolution (VHR) satellite and aerial imagery, something that is cost-prohibitive for NGOs. 3) We demonstrate two effective classification schemes on our curated data set, one that is cost-efficient for NGOs and another that is cost-prohibitive for NGOs, but has additional utility. We integrate these schemes into a semi-automated pipeline that converts either a LR or VHR satellite image into a binary map that encodes the locations of informal settlements.

For any triple given by a positive integer n, a finite group G, and a faithful representation V of G, one can describe a subspace arrangement whose intersection lattice is a generalized Dowling lattice in the sense of Hanlon. In this paper we construct the minimal De Concini-Procesi wonderful model associated to this subspace arrangement and give a description of its boundary. Our aim is to point out the nice poset provided by the intersections of the irreducible components in the boundary, which provides a geometric realization of the nested set poset of this generalized Dowling lattice. It can be represented by a family of forests with leaves and labelings that depend on the triple (n,G,V). We will study it from the enumerative point of view in the case when G is abelian.

We present a theoretical model of an on-chip three-level maser in a superconducting circuit based on a single artificial atom and pumped by a temperature gradient between thermal baths coupled to different interlevel transitions. We show that maser powers of the order of a few femtowatts, well exceeding the resolution of the sensitive bolometry, can be achieved with typical circuit parameters. We also demonstrate that population inversion in the artificial atom can be detected without measuring coherent radiation output of the maser. For that purpose, the system should operate as a three-terminal heat transport device. The hallmark of population inversion is the influx of heat power into the weakly coupled output terminal even though its temperature exceeds the temperatures of the two other terminals. The proposed method of on-chip conversion of heat into microwave radiation and control of energy-level populations by heating provide additional useful tools for circuit quantum electrodynamics experiments.

It has been proposed recently that the small size and long lifetime of ultra-compact HII regions (UCHIIs) could be due to pressure confinement if the thermal pressure of the ambient gas is higher than previous estimates. We point out that confinement by thermal pressure alone implies emission measures in excess of observed values. We show that turbulent pressure, inferred from observed non-thermal velocities, is sufficient to confine UC HIIs and explain their longevity. We predict an anti-correlation between the size of UCHIIs and the velocity dispersion of the ambient neutral gas, and show that it is consistent with existing observations.

We present results of a complete integral field survey of the bright SNR N49 in the LMC, obtained with the WiFeS instrument mounted on the ANU 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. From theoretical shock modelling with the new MAPPINGS 5.1 code we have, for the first time, subjected the optical Fe emission line spectrum of a supernova remnant to a detailed abundance and dynamical analysis covering 8 separate stages of ionisation. This allows us to derive the dust depletion factors as a function of ionisation stage. We have shown that there is substantial (30% - 90%) destruction of Fe-bearing dust grains in these fast shocks ($v_s \sim 250$ km/s), and we have confirmed that the dominant dust destruction is through the non-thermal sputtering and grain-grain collision mechanisms developed in a number of theoretical works.

We apply a variational wave function capable of describing qualitatively and quantitatively the so called "resonating valence bond" in realistic materials, by improving standard ab initio calculations by means of quantum Monte Carlo methods. In this framework we clearly identify the Kekul\'e and Dewar contributions to the chemical bond of the benzene molecule, and we establish the corresponding resonating valence bond energy of these well known structures ($\simeq 0.01$eV/atom). We apply this method to unveil the nature of the chemical bond in undoped graphene and show that this picture remains only within a small "resonance length" of few atomic units.

We consider one copy of a quantum system prepared with equal prior probability in one of two non-orthogonal entangled states of multipartite distributed among separated parties. We demonstrate that these two states can be optimally distinguished in the sense of conclusive discrimination by local operations and classical communications(LOCC) alone. And this proves strictly the conjecture that Virmani et.al. [8] confirmed numerically and analytically. Generally, the optimal protocol requires local POVM operations which are explicitly constructed. The result manifests that the distinguishable information is obtained only and completely at the last operation and all prior ones give no information about that state.

Two accelerometers are used to measure the motion of the golf club. The accelerometers are mounted in the shaft of the golf club. Each measures the acceleration along the axis of the shaft of the golf club. Interpreting the measurement with the context of the double pendulum model of the golf swing, it is useful to resolve the resulting signals into differential and common mode components. The differential mode is a measure of the rotational kinetic energy of the golf club, and this can be used to understand the tempo, rhythm, and timing of the golf swing. The common mode measurement is related to the motion of the hands. It is shown that both components can be used to recover the motion of the swing within the context of the double pendulum model of the golf swing.

AI-synthesized faces are visually challenging to discern from real ones. They have been used as profile images for fake social media accounts, which leads to high negative social impacts. Although progress has been made in developing automatic methods to detect AI-synthesized faces, there is no open platform to study the human performance of AI-synthesized faces detection. In this work, we develop an online platform called Open-eye to study the human performance of AI-synthesized face detection. We describe the design and workflow of the Open-eye in this paper.

We study the extraction of the ground-state parameters from vacuum-to-vacuum correlators. We work in quantum-mechanical potential model which provides the only possibility to probe the reliability and the actual accuracy of this method: one obtains the bound-state parameters from the correlators by the standard procedures adopted in the method of sum rules and compares these results with the exact values calculated from the Schroedinger equation. We focus on the crucial ingredient of the method of sum rules - the effective continuum threshold - and propose a new algorithm to fix this quantity. In a quantum-mechanical model, our procedure leads to a remarkable improvement of the accuracy of the extracted ground-state parameters compared to the standard procedures adopted in the method and used in all previous applications of dispersive sum rules in QCD. The application of the proposed procedure in QCD promises a considerable increase of the accuracy of the extracted hadron parameters.

Up-to-date cosmological data analyses have shown that \textit{(a)} a closed universe is preferred by the Planck data at more than $99\%$ CL, and \textit{(b)} interacting scenarios offer a very compelling solution to the Hubble constant tension. In light of these two recent appealing scenarios, we consider here an interacting dark matter-dark energy model with a non-zero spatial curvature component and a freely varying dark energy equation of state in both the quintessential and phantom regimes. When considering Cosmic Microwave Background data only, a phantom and closed universe can perfectly alleviate the Hubble tension, without the necessity of a coupling among the dark sectors. Accounting for other possible cosmological observations compromises the viability of this very attractive scenario as a global solution to current cosmological tensions, either by spoiling its effectiveness concerning the $H_0$ problem, as in the case of Supernovae Ia data, or by introducing a strong disagreement in the preferred value of the spatial curvature, as in the case of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations.

Barn owls hunt in the dark by using cues from both sight and sound to locate their prey. This task is facilitated by topographic maps of the external space formed by neurons (e.g., in the optic tectum) that respond to visual or aural signals from a specific direction. Plasticity of these maps has been studied in owls forced to wear prismatic spectacles that shift their visual field. Adaptive behavior in young owls is accompanied by a compensating shift in the response of (mapped) neurons to auditory signals. We model the receptive fields of such neurons by linear filters that sample correlated audio-visual signals, and search for filters that maximize the gathered information, while subject to the costs of rewiring neurons. Assuming a higher fidelity of visual information, we find that the corresponding receptive fields are robust and unchanged by artificial shifts. The shape of the aural receptive field, however, is controlled by correlations between sight and sound. In response to prismatic glasses, the aural receptive fields shift in the compensating direction, although their shape is modified due to the costs of rewiring.

The Bethe approximation is a well-known approximation of the partition function used in statistical physics. Recently, an equality relating the partition function and its Bethe approximation was obtained for graphical models with binary variables by Chertkov and Chernyak. In this equality, the multiplicative error in the Bethe approximation is represented as a weighted sum over all generalized loops in the graphical model. In this paper, the equality is generalized to graphical models with non-binary alphabet using concepts from information geometry.

MRT unstable plumes are observed in a loop-like eruptive prominence using SDO/AIA observations. The small-scale cavities are developed within the prominence, where perturbations trigger dark plumes (P1 \& P2) propagating with the speed of 35-46 km s$^{-1} $. The self-similar plume formation shows initially the growth of linear MRT unstable plume (P1), and thereafter the evolution of non-linear single mode MRT unstable second plume (P2). The Differential Emission Measure (DEM) analysis shows that plumes are less denser and hotter than the prominence. We have estimated the observational growth rate for both plumes as 1.32$\pm$0.29$\times$ 10$^{-3}$ s$^{-1}$ and 1.48$\pm$0.29$\times$ 10$^{-3}$ s$^{-1}$ respectively, which are comparable to the estimated theoretical growth rate (1.95$\times$ 10$^{-3}$ s$^{-1}$) . The nonlinear phase of an MRT unstable plume (P2) may collapse via Kelvin-Helmholtz vortex formation in the downfalling plasma. Later, a plasma thread has been evident in the rising segment of this prominence. It may be associated with the tangled field and Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The tangled field initiates shearing at the prominence-cavity boundary. Due to this shear motion, the plasma downfall has occurred at the right part of the prominence-cavity boundary. It triggers the characteristic of KH unstable vortices and MRT unstable plasma bubbles propagating at different speeds and merging with each other. The shear motion and lateral plasma downfall may initiate hybrid KH-RT instability there.

The unlearning problem of deep learning models, once primarily an academic concern, has become a prevalent issue in the industry. The significant advances in text-to-image generation techniques have prompted global discussions on privacy, copyright, and safety, as numerous unauthorized personal IDs, content, artistic creations, and potentially harmful materials have been learned by these models and later utilized to generate and distribute uncontrolled content. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{Forget-Me-Not}, an efficient and low-cost solution designed to safely remove specified IDs, objects, or styles from a well-configured text-to-image model in as little as 30 seconds, without impairing its ability to generate other content. Alongside our method, we introduce the \textbf{Memorization Score (M-Score)} and \textbf{ConceptBench} to measure the models' capacity to generate general concepts, grouped into three primary categories: ID, object, and style. Using M-Score and ConceptBench, we demonstrate that Forget-Me-Not can effectively eliminate targeted concepts while maintaining the model's performance on other concepts. Furthermore, Forget-Me-Not offers two practical extensions: a) removal of potentially harmful or NSFW content, and b) enhancement of model accuracy, inclusion and diversity through \textbf{concept correction and disentanglement}. It can also be adapted as a lightweight model patch for Stable Diffusion, allowing for concept manipulation and convenient distribution. To encourage future research in this critical area and promote the development of safe and inclusive generative models, we will open-source our code and ConceptBench at \href{https://github.com/SHI-Labs/Forget-Me-Not}{https://github.com/SHI-Labs/Forget-Me-Not}.

We present a set of nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium steady-state calculations of radiative transfer for one-year old type II supernovae (SNe) starting from state-of-the-art explosion models computed with detailed nucleosynthesis. This grid covers single-star progenitors with initial masses between 9 and 29$M_{\odot}$, all evolved with KEPLER at solar metallicity and ignoring rotation. The [OI]$\lambda\lambda$$6300,6364$ line flux generally grows with progenitor mass, and H$\alpha$ exhibits an equally strong and opposite trend. The [CaII]$\lambda\lambda$$7291,\,7323$ strength increases at low $^{56}$Ni mass, low explosion energy, or with clumping. This CaII doublet, which forms primarily in the explosively-produced Si/S zones, depends little on the progenitor mass, but may strengthen if Ca$^+$ dominates in the H-rich emitting zones or if Ca is abundant in the O-rich zones. Indeed, Si-O shell merging prior to core collapse may boost the CaII doublet at the expense of the OI doublet, and may thus mimic the metal line strengths of a lower mass progenitor. We find that the $^{56}$Ni bubble effect has a weak impact, probably because it is too weak to induce much of an ionization shift in the various emitting zones. Our simulations compare favorably to observed SNe II, including SN2008bk (e.g., 9$M_{\odot}$ model), SN2012aw (12$M_{\odot}$ model), SN1987A (15$M_{\odot}$ model), or SN2015bs (25$M_{\odot}$ model with no Si-O shell merging). SNe II with narrow lines and a low $^{56}$Ni mass are well matched by the weak explosion of 9$-$11$M_{\odot}$ progenitors. The nebular-phase spectra of standard SNe II can be explained with progenitors in the mass range 12$-$15$M_{\odot}$, with one notable exception for SN2015bs. In the intermediate mass range, these mass estimates may increase by a few $M_{\odot}$ with allowance for clumping of the O-rich material or CO molecular cooling.

The success of deep convolutional architectures is often attributed in part to their ability to learn multiscale and invariant representations of natural signals. However, a precise study of these properties and how they affect learning guarantees is still missing. In this paper, we consider deep convolutional representations of signals; we study their invariance to translations and to more general groups of transformations, their stability to the action of diffeomorphisms, and their ability to preserve signal information. This analysis is carried by introducing a multilayer kernel based on convolutional kernel networks and by studying the geometry induced by the kernel mapping. We then characterize the corresponding reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), showing that it contains a large class of convolutional neural networks with homogeneous activation functions. This analysis allows us to separate data representation from learning, and to provide a canonical measure of model complexity, the RKHS norm, which controls both stability and generalization of any learned model. In addition to models in the constructed RKHS, our stability analysis also applies to convolutional networks with generic activations such as rectified linear units, and we discuss its relationship with recent generalization bounds based on spectral norms.

We propose a general formula for perturbative-in-alpha' corrections to the Kahler potential on the quantum Kahler moduli space of Calabi-Yau n-folds, for any n, in their asymptotic large volume regime. The knowledge of such perturbative corrections provides an important ingredient needed to analyze the full structure of this Kahler potential, including nonperturbative corrections such as the Gromov-Witten invariants of the Calabi-Yau n-folds. We argue that the perturbative corrections take a universal form, and we find that this form is encapsulated in a specific additive characteristic class of the Calabi-Yau n-fold which we call the log Gamma class, and which arises naturally in a generalization of Mukai's modified Chern character map. Our proposal is inspired heavily by the recent observation of an equality between the partition function of certain supersymmetric, two-dimensional gauge theories on a two-sphere, and the aforementioned Kahler potential. We further strengthen our proposal by comparing our findings on the quantum Kahler moduli space to the complex structure moduli space of the corresponding mirror Calabi-Yau geometry.

We analyse the scattering rate of an impurity atom in a Fermi sea as a function of momentum and temperature in the BCS-BEC crossover. The cross section is calculated using a microscopic multichannel theory for the Feshbach resonance scattering, including finite range and medium effects. We show that pair correlations significantly increase the cross section for strong interactions close to the unitarity regime. These pair correlations give rise to a molecule pole of the cross section at negative energy on the BEC side of the resonance, which smoothly evolves into a resonance at positive scattering energy with a non-zero imaginary part on the BCS side. The resonance is the analogue of superfluid pairing for the corresponding population balanced system. Using Fermi liquid theory, we then show that the low temperature scattering rate of the impurity atom is significantly increased due to these pair correlations for low momenta. We demonstrate that finite range and mass imbalance effects are significant for the experimentally relevant $^6$Li-$^{40}$K mixture, and we finally discuss how the scattering rate can be measured using radio-frequency spectroscopy and Bose-Fermi mixtures.

We discuss the application of the permutation group S_N to a few problems in hadron physics. A method is proposed for matching a quark model Hamiltonian onto the effective Hamiltonian of the 1/Nc expansion, which makes use of the transformation properties of the states and operators under S_N. This method is used to obtain information about the spin-flavor structure of the quark interaction Hamiltonian from the spectrum of the negative parity L=1 excited baryons. Assuming the most general 2-body quark Hamiltonian, we derive two correlations among the masses and mixing angles of these states which should hold in any quark model. These correlations constrain the mixing angles, and can be used to test for the presence of 3-body quark interactions. We find that the pure gluon-exchange model is disfavored by data, independently of any assumptions about the hadronic wave functions.

We study the effective one-dimensional (1D) scattering of two distinguishable atoms confined individually by {\em separated} transverse harmonic traps. With equal trapping frequency for two s-wave interacting atoms, we find that by tuning the trap separations, the system can undergo {\em double} 1D scattering resonance, named as the separation induced resonance(SIR), when the ratio between the confinement length and s-wave scattering length is within $(0.791,1.46]$. Near SIR, the scattering property shows unique dependence on the resonance position. The universality of a many-body system on scattering branch near SIR is demonstrated by studying the interaction effect of a localized impurity coupled with a Fermi sea of light atoms in a quasi-1D trap.

We compute the 3-loop O(\alpha \alpha_s) correction to the Higgs boson production cross section arising from light quarks using an effective theory approach. Our calculation probes the factorization of QCD and electroweak perturbative corrections to this process. We combine our results with the best current estimates for contributions from top and bottom quarks to derive an updated theoretical prediction for the Higgs boson production cross section in gluon fusion. With the use of the MSTW 2008 parton distribution functions that include the newest experimental data, our study results in cross sections approximately 4-6% lower for intermediate Higgs boson masses than those used in recent Tevatron analyses that imposed a 95% confidence level exclusion limit of a Standard Model Higgs boson with M_H=170 GeV.

Compact binaries such as double neutron stars or a neutron star paired with a black-hole, are strong sources of gravitational waves during coalescence and also the likely progenitors of various electromagnetic phenomena, notably short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), and kilonovae. In this work, we generate populations of synthetic binaries and place them in galaxies from the large-scale hydrodynamical galaxy evolution simulation EAGLE. With our zELDA code, binaries are seeded in proportion to star formation rate, and we follow their evolution to merger using both the BPASS and COSMIC binary stellar evolution codes. We track their dynamical evolution within their host galaxy potential, to estimate the galactocentric distance at the time of the merger. Finally, we apply observational selection criteria to allow comparison of this model population with the legacy sample of SGRBs. We find a reasonable agreement with the redshift distribution (peaking at $0.5<z<1$), host morphologies and projected galactocentric offsets (modal impact parameter $\lesssim10$ kpc). Depending on the binary simulation used, we predict $\sim16-35\%$ of SGRB events would appear "host-less", i.e. sources that merge with high impact parameters or have hosts fainter than the detection limit ($H>26$).

To study the resolution required for simulating gravitational fragmentation with newly developed Lagrangian hydrodynamic schemes, Meshless Finite Volume method (MFV) and Meshless Finite Mass method (MFM), we have performed a number of simulations of the Jeans test and compared the results with both the expected analytic solution and results from the more standard Lagrangian approach: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). We find that the different schemes converge to the analytic solution when the diameter of a fluid element is smaller than a quarter of the Jeans wavelength, $\lambda_\mathrm{J}$. Among the three schemes, SPH/MFV shows the fastest/slowest convergence to the analytic solution. Unlike the well-known behaviour of Eulerian schemes, none of the Lagrangian schemes investigated displays artificial fragmentation when the perturbation wavelength, $\lambda$, is shorter than $\lambda_\mathrm{J}$, even at low numerical resolution. For larger wavelengths ($\lambda > \lambda_\mathrm{J}$) the growth of the perturbation is delayed when it is not well resolved. Furthermore, with poor resolution, the fragmentation seen with the MFV scheme proceeds very differently compared to the converged solution. All these results suggest that, when unresolved, the ratio of the magnitude of hydrodynamic force to that of self-gravity at the sub-resolution scale is the largest/smallest in MFV/SPH, the reasons for which we discussed in detail. These tests are repeated to investigate the effect of kernels of higher-order than the fiducial cubic spline. Our results indicate that the standard deviation of the kernel is a more appropriate definition of the size of a fluid element than its compact support radius.

The efficient recognition of pathogens by the adaptive immune system relies on the diversity of receptors displayed at the surface of immune cells. T-cell receptor diversity results from an initial random DNA editing process, called VDJ recombination, followed by functional selection of cells according to the interaction of their surface receptors with self and foreign antigenic peptides. To quantify the effect of selection on the highly variable elements of the receptor, we apply a probabilistic maximum likelihood approach to the analysis of high-throughput sequence data from the $\beta$-chain of human T-cell receptors. We quantify selection factors for V and J gene choice, and for the length and amino-acid composition of the variable region. Our approach is necessary to disentangle the effects of selection from biases inherent in the recombination process. Inferred selection factors differ little between donors, or between naive and memory repertoires. The number of sequences shared between donors is well-predicted by the model, indicating a purely stochastic origin of such "public" sequences. We find a significant correlation between biases induced by VDJ recombination and our inferred selection factors, together with a reduction of diversity during selection. Both effects suggest that natural selection acting on the recombination process has anticipated the selection pressures experienced during somatic evolution.

There has been growing evidence that the infrared enhancement of the form factors defining the full quark-gluon vertex plays an important role in realizing a dynamical breakdown of chiral symmetry in quantum chromodynamics, leading to the observed spectrum and properties of hadrons. Both the lattice and the Schwinger-Dyson communities have begun to calculate these form factors in various kinematical regimes of momenta involved. A natural consistency check for these studies is that they should match onto the perturbative predictions in the ultraviolet, where non-perturbative effects mellow down. In this article, we carry out a numerical analysis of the one-loop result for all the form factors of the quark-gluon vertex. Interestingly, even the one-loop results qualitatively encode most of the infrared enhancement features expected of their non-perturbative counter parts. We analyze various kinematical configurations of momenta: symmetric, on-shell and asymptotic. The on-shell limit enables us to compute anomalous chromomagnetic moment of quarks. The asymptotic results have implications for the multiplicative renormalizability of the quark propagator and its connection with the Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformations, allowing us to analyze and compare various Ans$\ddot{a}$tze proposed so far.

Integrating automatic speech scoring/assessment systems has become a critical aspect of second-language speaking education. With self-supervised learning advancements, end-to-end speech scoring approaches have exhibited promising results. However, this study highlights the significant decrease in the performance of speech scoring systems in new question contexts, thereby identifying this as a cold start problem in terms of items. With the finding of cold-start phenomena, this paper seeks to alleviate the problem by following methods: 1) prompt embeddings, 2) question context embeddings using BERT or CLIP models, and 3) choice of the pretrained acoustic model. Experiments are conducted on TOEIC speaking test datasets collected from English-as-a-second-language (ESL) learners rated by professional TOEIC speaking evaluators. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework not only exhibits robustness in a cold-start environment but also outperforms the baselines for known content.

Linking Stellar Coronal Activity and Rotation at 500 Myr: A Deep Chandra Observation of M37

Empirical calibrations of the stellar age-rotation-activity relation (ARAR) rely on observations of the co-eval populations of stars in open clusters. We used the Chandra X-ray Observatory to study M37, a 500-Myr-old open cluster that has been extensively surveyed for rotation periods ($P_{\rm rot}$). M37 was observed almost continuously for five days, for a total of 440.5 ksec, to measure stellar X-ray luminosities ($L_{\mathrm{X}}$), a proxy for coronal activity, across a wide range of masses. The cluster's membership catalog was revisited to calculate updated membership probabilities from photometric data and each star's distance to the cluster center. The result is a comprehensive sample of 1699 M37 members: 426 with $P_{\rm rot}$, 278 with X-ray detections, and 76 with both. We calculate Rossby numbers, $R_o = P_{\rm rot}/\tau$, where $\tau$ is the convective turnover time, and ratios of the X-ray-to-bolometric luminosity, $L_{\rm X}/L_{\rm bol}$, to minimize mass dependencies in our characterization of the rotation-coronal activity relation at 500 Myr. We find that fast rotators, for which $R_o<0.09\pm0.01$, show saturated levels of activity, with log($L_{\rm X}/L_{\rm bol}$)$=-3.06\pm0.04$. For $R_o\geq0.09\pm0.01$, activity is unsaturated and follows a power law of the form $R_o^\beta$, where $\beta$=$-2.03_{-0.14}^{+0.17}$. This is the largest sample available for analyzing the dependence of coronal emission on rotation for a single-aged population, covering stellar masses in the range 0.4$-$1.3 $M_{\odot}$, $P_{\rm rot}$ in the range 0.4$-$12.8 d, and $L_{\rm X}$ in the range 10$^{28.4-30.5}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Our results make M37 a new benchmark open cluster for calibrating the ARAR at ages of $\approx$500 Myr.

This paper envisions an end-to-end program generation scenario using recurrent neural networks (RNNs): Users can express their intention in natural language; an RNN then automatically generates corresponding code in a characterby-by-character fashion. We demonstrate its feasibility through a case study and empirical analysis. To fully make such technique useful in practice, we also point out several cross-disciplinary challenges, including modeling user intention, providing datasets, improving model architectures, etc. Although much long-term research shall be addressed in this new field, we believe end-to-end program generation would become a reality in future decades, and we are looking forward to its practice.

In this paper we conduct a general, model-independent analysis of the running of gauge couplings within closed string theories. Unlike previous discussions in the literature, our calculations fully respect the underlying modular invariance of the string and include the contributions from the infinite towers of string states which are ultimately responsible for many of the properties for which string theory is famous, including an enhanced degree of finiteness and UV/IR mixing. In order to perform our calculations, we adopt a formalism that was recently developed for calculations of the Higgs mass within such theories, and demonstrate that this formalism can also be applied to calculations of gauge couplings. In general, this formalism gives rise to an ``on-shell'' effective field theory (EFT) description in which the final results are expressed in terms of supertraces over the physical string states, and in which these quantities exhibit an EFT-like ``running'' as a function of an effective spacetime mass scale. We find, however, that the calculation of the gauge couplings differs in one deep way from that of the Higgs mass: while the latter results depend on purely on-shell supertraces, the former results have a different modular structure which causes them to depend on off-shell supertraces as well. In some regions of parameter space, our results demonstrate how certain expected field-theoretic behaviors can emerge from the highly UV/IR-mixed environment. In other situations, by contrast, our results give rise to a number of intrinsically stringy behaviors that transcend what might be expected within an effective field theory approach.

Mapping forest AGB (Above Ground Biomass) is of crucial importance to estimate the carbon emissions associated with tropical deforestation. This study proposes a method to overcome the saturation at high AGB values of existing AGB map (Vieilledent's AGB map) by using a map of correction factors generated from GLAS (Geoscience Laser Altimeter System) spaceborne LiDAR data. The Vieilledent's AGB map of Madagascar was established using optical images, with parameters calculated from the SRTM Digital Elevation Model, climatic variables, and field inventories. In the present study, first, GLAS LiDAR data were used to obtain a spatially distributed (GLAS footprints geolocation) estimation of AGB (GLAS AGB) covering Madagascar forested areas, with a density of 0.52 footprint/km 2. Second, the difference between the AGB from the Vieilledent's AGB map and GLAS AGB at each GLAS footprint location was calculated, and additional spatially distributed correction factors were obtained. Third, an ordinary kriging interpolation was thus performed by taking into account the spatial structure of these additional correction factors to provide a continuous correction factor map. Finally, the existing and the correction factor maps were summed to improve the Vieilledent's AGB map. The results showed that the integration of GLAS data improves the precision of Vieilledent's AGB map by approximately 7 t/ha. By integrating GLAS data, the RMSE on AGB estimates decreases from 81 t/ha (R 2 = 0.62) to 74.1 t/ha (R 2 = 0.71). Most importantly, we showed that this approach using LiDAR data avoids underestimating high biomass values (new maximum AGB of 650 t/ha compared to 550 t/ha with the first approach).

I argue that the system of interacting bosons at zero temperature and in random external potential possesses a simple critical point which describes the proliferation of disorder-induced topological defects in the superfluid ground state, and which is located at weak disorder close to and above one dimension. This makes it possible to address the critical behavior at the superfluid-Bose glass transition in dirty boson systems by expanding around the lower critical dimension d=1. Within the formulated renormalization procedure near d=1 the dynamical critical exponent is obtained exactly and the correlation length exponent is calculated as a Laurent series in the parameter \sqrt{\epsilon}, with \epsilon=d-1: z=d, \nu=1/\sqrt{3\epsilon} for the short range, and z=1, \nu=\sqrt{2/3\epsilon}, for the long-range Coulomb interaction between bosons. The identified critical point should be stable against the residual perturbations in the effective action for the superfluid, at least in dimensions 1\leq d \leq 2, for both short-range and Coulomb interactions. For the superfluid-Mott insulator transition in the system in a periodic potential and at a commensurate density of bosons I find \nu=(1/2\sqrt{\epsilon})+ 1/4+O(\sqrt{\epsilon}), which yields a result reasonably close to the known XY critical exponent in d=2+1. The critical behavior of the superfluid density, phonon velocity and the compressibility in the system with the short-range interactions is discussed.

Structure-Preserving Deraining with Residue Channel Prior Guidance

Single image deraining is important for many high-level computer vision tasks since the rain streaks can severely degrade the visibility of images, thereby affecting the recognition and analysis of the image. Recently, many CNN-based methods have been proposed for rain removal. Although these methods can remove part of the rain streaks, it is difficult for them to adapt to real-world scenarios and restore high-quality rain-free images with clear and accurate structures. To solve this problem, we propose a Structure-Preserving Deraining Network (SPDNet) with RCP guidance. SPDNet directly generates high-quality rain-free images with clear and accurate structures under the guidance of RCP but does not rely on any rain-generating assumptions. Specifically, we found that the RCP of images contains more accurate structural information than rainy images. Therefore, we introduced it to our deraining network to protect structure information of the rain-free image. Meanwhile, a Wavelet-based Multi-Level Module (WMLM) is proposed as the backbone for learning the background information of rainy images and an Interactive Fusion Module (IFM) is designed to make full use of RCP information. In addition, an iterative guidance strategy is proposed to gradually improve the accuracy of RCP, refining the result in a progressive path. Extensive experimental results on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed model achieves new state-of-the-art results. Code: https://github.com/Joyies/SPDNet

The first heat kernel coefficients are calculated for a dispersive ball whose permittivity at high frequency differs from unity by inverse powers of the frequency. The corresponding divergent part of the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic field is given and ultraviolet divergencies are seen to be present. Also in a model where the number of atoms is fixed the pressure exhibits infinities. As a consequence, the ground-state energy for a dispersive dielectric ball cannot be interpreted easily.

We consider the following $q$-analog of the basic combinatorial search problem: let $q$ be a prime power and $\GF(q)$ the finite field of $q$ elements. Let $V$ denote an $n$-dimensional vector space over $\GF(q)$ and let $\mathbf{v}$ be an unknown 1-dimensional subspace of $V$. We will be interested in determining the minimum number of queries that is needed to find $\mathbf{v}$ provided all queries are subspaces of $V$ and the answer to a query $U$ is YES if $\mathbf{v} \leqslant U$ and NO if $\mathbf{v} \not\leqslant U$. This number will be denoted by $A(n,q)$ in the adaptive case (when for each queries answers are obtained immediately and later queries might depend on previous answers) and $M(n,q)$ in the non-adaptive case (when all queries must be made in advance). In the case $n=3$ we prove $2q-1=A(3,q)<M(3,q)$ if $q$ is large enough. While for general values of $n$ and $q$ we establish the bounds \[ n\log q \le A(n,q) \le (1+o(1))nq \] and \[ (1-o(1))nq \le M(n,q) \le 2nq, \] provided $q$ tends to infinity.

This paper develops the time-delay approach to Networked Control Systems (NCSs) in the presence of variable transmission delays, sampling intervals and communication constraints. The system sensor nodes are supposed to be distributed over a network. Due to communication constraints only one node output is transmitted through the communication channel at once. The scheduling of sensor information towards the controller is ruled by a weighted Try-Once-Discard (TOD) or by Round-Robin (RR) protocols. Differently from the existing results on NCSs in the presence of scheduling protocols (in the frameworks of hybrid and discrete-time systems), we allow the communication delays to be greater than the sampling intervals. A novel hybrid system model for the closed-loop system is presented that contains {\it time-varying delays in the continuous dynamics and in the reset conditions}. A new Lyapunov-Krasovskii method, which is based on discontinuous in time Lyapunov functionals is introduced for the stability analysis of the delayed hybrid systems. Polytopic type uncertainties in the system model can be easily included in the analysis. The efficiency of the time-delay approach is illustrated on the examples of uncertain cart-pendulum and of batch reactor.

Although the log-likelihood is widely used in model selection, the log-likelihood ratio has had few applications in this area. We develop a log-likelihood ratio based method for selecting regression models by focusing on the set of models deemed plausible by the likelihood ratio test. We show that when the sample size is large and the significance level of the test is small, there is a high probability that the smallest model in the set is the true model; thus, we select this smallest model. The significance level of the test serves as a parameter for this method. We consider three levels of this parameter in a simulation study and compare this method with the Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Information Criterion to demonstrate its excellent accuracy and adaptability to different sample sizes. We also apply this method to select a logistic regression model for a South African heart disease dataset.

The functioning and efficiency of natural photosynthetic complexes is strongly influenced by their embedding in a noisy protein environment, which can even serve to enhance the transport efficiency. Interactions with the environment induce fluctuations of the transition energies of and interactions between the chlorophyll molecules, and due to the fact that different fluctuations will partially be caused by the same environmental factors, correlations between the various fluctuations will occur. We argue that fluctuations of the interactions should in general not be neglected, as these have a considerable impact on population transfer rates, decoherence rates and the efficiency of photosynthetic complexes. Furthermore, while correlations between transition energy fluctuations have been studied, we provide the first quantitative study of the effect of correlations between interaction fluctuations and transition energy fluctuations, and of correlations between the various interaction fluctuations. It is shown that these additional correlations typically lead to changes in interchromophore transfer rates, population oscillations and can lead to a limited enhancement of the light harvesting efficiency.

This survey presents a literature review on friction stir welding (FSW) modeling with a special focus on the heat generation due to the contact conditions between the FSW tool and the workpiece. The physical process is described and the main process parameters that are relevant to its modeling are highlighted. The contact conditions (sliding/sticking) are presented as well as an analytical model that allows estimating the associated heat generation. The modeling of the FSW process requires the knowledge of the heat loss mechanisms, which are discussed mainly considering the more commonly adopted formulations. Different approaches that have been used to investigate the material flow are presented and their advantages/drawbacks are discussed. A reliable FSW process modeling depends on the fine tuning of some process and material parameters. Usually, these parameters are achieved with base on experimental data. The numerical modeling of the FSW process can help to achieve such parameters with less effort and with economic advantages.

We propose an interacting lattice gas model of structural glass characterized by particle distinguishability and site-particle-dependent random nearest-neighboring particle interactions. This incorporates disorder quenched in the configuration space rather than in the physical space. The model exhibits non-trivial energetics while still admitting exact equilibrium states directly constructible at arbitrary temperature and density. The dynamics is defined by activated hopping following standard kinetic Monte Carlo approach without explicit facilitation rule. Kinetic simulations show emergent dynamic facilitation behaviors in the glassy phase in which motions of individual voids are significant only when accelerated by other voids nearby. This provides a microscopic justification for the dynamic facilitation picture of structural glass.

A twist construction for manifolds with torus action is described generalising certain T-duality examples and constructions in hypercomplex geometry. It is applied to complex, SKT, hypercomplex and HKT manifolds to construct compact simply-connected examples. In particular, we find hypercomplex manifolds that admit no compatible HKT metric, and HKT manifolds whose Obata connection has holonomy contained in $SL(n,\mathbb H)$.

The emerging applications of silicon photonics in free space, such as LiDARs and quantum photonics, urge versatile emission shaping beyond the capabilities of conventional grating couplers. A platform that offers arbitrary shaping of free-space emission while maintaining the CMOS compatibility and monolithic integration is in pressing need. Here we demonstrate a platform that integrates metasurfaces monolithically on silicon photonic integrated circuits. The metasurfaces consist of amorphous silicon nanopillars evanescently coupled to silicon waveguides. We demonstrate experimentally diffraction-limited beam focusing with a Strehl ratio of 0.82, where the focused spot can be switched between two positions. We also realize a meta-hologram experimentally that projects an image above the silicon photonic chip. This platform can add a highly versatile interface to the existing silicon photonic ecosystems for precise delivery of free-space emission.

Counterfactual Explanations without Opening the Black Box: Automated Decisions and the GDPR

There has been much discussion of the right to explanation in the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and its existence, merits, and disadvantages. Implementing a right to explanation that opens the black box of algorithmic decision-making faces major legal and technical barriers. Explaining the functionality of complex algorithmic decision-making systems and their rationale in specific cases is a technically challenging problem. Some explanations may offer little meaningful information to data subjects, raising questions around their value. Explanations of automated decisions need not hinge on the general public understanding how algorithmic systems function. Even though such interpretability is of great importance and should be pursued, explanations can, in principle, be offered without opening the black box. Looking at explanations as a means to help a data subject act rather than merely understand, one could gauge the scope and content of explanations according to the specific goal or action they are intended to support. From the perspective of individuals affected by automated decision-making, we propose three aims for explanations: (1) to inform and help the individual understand why a particular decision was reached, (2) to provide grounds to contest the decision if the outcome is undesired, and (3) to understand what would need to change in order to receive a desired result in the future, based on the current decision-making model. We assess how each of these goals finds support in the GDPR. We suggest data controllers should offer a particular type of explanation, unconditional counterfactual explanations, to support these three aims. These counterfactual explanations describe the smallest change to the world that can be made to obtain a desirable outcome, or to arrive at the closest possible world, without needing to explain the internal logic of the system.

The EPICS based control system of the ISAC radioactive beam facility uses the CapFast schematic editor to construct the IOC function-block databases. This allows a self-documenting graphical representation of the IOC software using a hierarchical, object-like software structure with reusable components. On the other hand, the control system is quarterbacked by a relational database, which contains all device information. Using database reports and Perl scripts, a device instantiation method was developed which generates top-level schematic files in CapFast format. This method exploits the advantages of device data entry and reporting using a relational database system while maintaining the graphical representation of the IOC database.

Materials that exhibit colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) are currently the focus of an intense research effort, driven by the technological applications that their sensitivity lends them to. Using the angular correlation of photons from electron-positron annihilation, we present a first glimpse of the Fermi surface of a material that exhibits CMR, supported by ``virtual crystal'' electronic structure calculations. The Fermi surface is shown to be sufficiently cubic in nature that it is likely to support nesting.
