The successful launch of electric vehicles (EVs) depends critically on the availability of convenient and economic charging facilities. The problem of scheduling of large-scale charging of EVs by a service provider is considered. A Markov decision process model is introduced in which EVs arrive randomly at a charging facility with random demand and completion deadlines. The service provider faces random charging costs, convex non-completion penalties, and a peak power constraint that limits the maximum number of simultaneous activation of EV chargers. Formulated as a restless multi-armed bandit problem, the EV charging problem is shown to be indexable. A closed-form expression of the Whittle's index is obtained for the case when the charging costs are constant. The Whittle's index policy, however, is not optimal in general. An enhancement of the Whittle's index policy based on spatial interchange according to the less laxity and longer processing time principle is presented. The proposed policy outperforms existing charging algorithms, especially when the charging costs are time varying.

The chiral limit of finite-volume QCD is the $\epsilon$-regime of the theory. We discuss how this regime can be used for determining low-energy observables of QCD by means of comparisons between lattice simulations and quenched and unquenched chiral perturbation theory. The quenched theory suffers in the $\epsilon$-regime from ``quenched finite volume logs'', the finite-volume analogs of quenched chiral logs.

A closed convex cone K is called nice, if the set K^* + F^\perp is closed for all F faces of K, where K^* is the dual cone of K, and F^\perp is the orthogonal complement of the linear span of F. The niceness property is important for two reasons: it plays a role in the facial reduction algorithm of Borwein and Wolkowicz, and the question whether the linear image of a nice cone is closed also has a simple answer. We prove several characterizations of nice cones and show a strong connection with facial exposedness. We prove that a nice cone must be facially exposed; in reverse, facial exposedness with an added condition implies niceness. We conjecture that nice, and facially exposed cones are actually the same, and give supporting evidence.

On the Capacity of Channels with Timing Synchronization Errors

We consider a new formulation of a class of synchronization error channels and derive analytical bounds and numerical estimates for the capacity of these channels. For the binary channel with only deletions, we obtain an expression for the symmetric information rate in terms of subsequence weights which reduces to a tight lower bound for small deletion probabilities. We are also able to exactly characterize the Markov-1 rate for the binary channel with only replications. For a channel that introduces deletions as well as replications of input symbols, we design approximating channels that parameterize the state space and show that the information rates of these approximate channels approach that of the deletion-replication channel as the state space grows. For the case of the channel where deletions and replications occur with the same probabilities, a stronger result in the convergence of mutual information rates is shown. The numerous advantages this new formulation presents are explored.

Possible modification in the velocity distribution in the non-resonant reaction rates leads to an extended reaction rate probability integral. The closed form representation for these thermonuclear functions are used to obtain the stellar luminosity and neutrino emission rates. The composite parameter {C} that determines the standard nuclear reaction rate through the Maxwell-Boltzmann energy distribution is extended to {C}^* by the extended reaction rates through a more general distribution than the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The new distribution is obtained by the pathway model introduced by Mathai in 2005 [Linear Algebra and Its Applications, 396, 317-328]. Simple analytic models considered by various authors are utilized for evaluating stellar luminosity and neutrino emission rates and are obtained in generalized special functions such as Meijer's G-function and Fox's H-function. The standard and extended non-resonant thermonuclear functions are compared by plotting them. Behavior of the new energy distribution, more general than Maxwell-Boltzmann is also studied.

We present a dynamical study of $e^+e^-$ and $\mu^+ \mu^-$ production in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at CERN-SPS energies on the basis of the covariant transport approach HSD employing a momentum-dependent $\rho$-meson spectral function that includes the pion modifications in the nuclear medium as well as the polarization of the $\rho$-meson due to resonant $\rho$$-N$ scattering. We find that the experimental data from the CERES and HELIOS-3 Collaborations can be described equally well as within the dropping $\rho$-mass scenario. Whereas corresponding dilepton $q_T$-spectra are found to be very similar, the inclusive dilepton yield in the invariant mass range $0.85 \leq M \leq 1.0$ GeV should allow to disentangle the two scenarios experimentally.

There is great potential for damage from adversarial learning (AL) attacks on machine-learning based systems. In this paper, we provide a contemporary survey of AL, focused particularly on defenses against attacks on statistical classifiers. After introducing relevant terminology and the goals and range of possible knowledge of both attackers and defenders, we survey recent work on test-time evasion (TTE), data poisoning (DP), and reverse engineering (RE) attacks and particularly defenses against same. In so doing, we distinguish robust classification from anomaly detection (AD), unsupervised from supervised, and statistical hypothesis-based defenses from ones that do not have an explicit null (no attack) hypothesis; we identify the hyperparameters a particular method requires, its computational complexity, as well as the performance measures on which it was evaluated and the obtained quality. We then dig deeper, providing novel insights that challenge conventional AL wisdom and that target unresolved issues, including: 1) robust classification versus AD as a defense strategy; 2) the belief that attack success increases with attack strength, which ignores susceptibility to AD; 3) small perturbations for test-time evasion attacks: a fallacy or a requirement?; 4) validity of the universal assumption that a TTE attacker knows the ground-truth class for the example to be attacked; 5) black, grey, or white box attacks as the standard for defense evaluation; 6) susceptibility of query-based RE to an AD defense. We also discuss attacks on the privacy of training data. We then present benchmark comparisons of several defenses against TTE, RE, and backdoor DP attacks on images. The paper concludes with a discussion of future work.

We report the design, operation and performance of a high-resolution, low-latency, bunch-by-bunch feedback system for nano-beam stabilisation. The system employs novel, ultra-low quality-factor cavity beam position monitors (BPMs), a two-stage analogue signal down-mixing system, and a digital signal processing and feedback board incorporating an FPGA. The FPGA firmware allows for the real-time integration of up to fifteen samples of the BPM waveforms within a measured latency of 232 ns. We show that this real-time sample integration improves significantly the beam position resolution and, consequently, the feedback performance. The best demonstrated real-time beam position resolution was 19 nm, which, as far as we are aware, is the best real-time resolution achieved in any operating BPM system. The feedback was operated in two complementary modes to stabilise the vertical position of the ultra-small beam produced at the focal point of the ATF2 beamline at KEK. In single-BPM feedback mode, beam stabilisation to 50$\pm$5 nm was demonstrated. In two-BPM feedback mode, beam stabilisation to 41$\pm$4 nm was achieved.

For a hypergraph $H$, the transversal is a subset of vertices whose intersection with every edge is nonempty. The cardinality of a minimum transversal is the transversal number of $H$, denoted by $\tau(H)$. The Tuza constant $c_k$ is defined as $\sup{\tau(H)/ (m+n)}$, where $H$ ranges over all $k$-uniform hypergrpahs, with $m$ and $n$ being the number of edges and vertices, respectively. We give upper and lower bounds on $c_k$, for $7\leq k\leq 17$.

A warped resolved conifold background of type IIB theory, constructed in hep-th/0701064, is dual to the supersymmetric $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ gauge theory with a vacuum expectation value (VEV) for one of the bifundamental chiral superfields. This VEV breaks both the superconformal invariance and the baryonic symmetry. The absolute value of the VEV controls the resolution parameter of the conifold. In this paper we study the phase of the VEV, which corresponds to the Goldstone boson of the broken symmetry. We explicitly construct the linearized perturbation of the 4-form R-R potential that contains the Goldstone boson. On general grounds, the theory should contain global strings which create a monodromy of the pseudoscalar Goldstone boson field. We identify these strings with the $D3$-branes wrapping the two-cycle at the tip of the warped resolved conifold.

The graviton scattering in IIB superstring theory is examined in the context of S-duality and symmetry. There is an algebra that generates all of the terms in the four-point function to any order in derivatives. A map from the algebra to the scattering is given; it suggests the correctness of the full four-point function with the S-duality. The higher point functions are expected to follow a similar pattern.

It is well known, although sometimes ignored, that not only the d=5 but also d=6 proton decay depends on fermion mixings. In general we study carefully the dependence of d=6 decay on fermion mixings using the effective operator approach. We find that without specifying a theory it is impossible to make clear predictions. Even in a given model, it is often not possible to determine all the physical parameters. We point out that it is possible to make a clear test of any grand unified theory with symmetric Yukawa couplings. We discuss in some detail realistic theories based on SU(5) and SO(10) gauge symmetry.

Iridium-doping as a strategy to realize visible light absorption and p-type behavior in BaTiO3

BaTiO3 is typically a strong n-type material with tuneable optoelectronic properties via doping and controlling the synthesis conditions. It has a wide band gap that can only harness the ultraviolet region of the solar spectrum. Despite significant progress, achieving visible-light absorbing BTO with tuneable carrier concentration has been challenging, a crucial requirement for many applications. In this work, a p-type BTO with visible-light absorption is realized via iridium doping. Detailed analysis using advanced spectroscopy tools and computational electronic structure analysis is used to rationalize the n- to p-type transition after Ir doping. Results offered mechanistic insight into the interplay between the dopant site occupancy, the dopant position within the band gap, and the defect chemistry affecting the carrier concentration. A decrease in the Ti3+ donor levels concentration and the mutually correlated oxygen vacancies upon Ir doping is attributed to the p-type behavior. Due to the formation of Ir3+ or Ir4+ in-gap energy levels within the forbidden region, the optical transition can be elicited from or to such levels resulting in visible-light absorption. This newly developed Ir-doped BTO can be a promising p-type perovskite-oxide with imminent applications in solar fuel generation, spintronics and optoelectronics.

We present moderate resolution (~6 km/s) spectroscopy of 284 M giant candidates selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry. Radial velocities (RVs) are presented for stars mainly in the south, with a number having positions consistent with association to the trailing tidal tail of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy. The latter show a clear RV trend with orbital longitude, as expected from models of the orbit and destruction of Sgr. A minimum 8 kpc width of the trailing stream about the Sgr orbital midplane is implied by verified RV members. The coldness of this stream (dispersion ~10 km/s) provides upper limits on the combined contributions of stream heating by a lumpy Galactic halo and the intrinsic dispersion of released stars, which is a function of the Sgr core mass. The Sgr trailing arm is consistent with a Galactic halo containing one dominant, LMC-like lump, however some lumpier halos are not ruled out. An upper limit to the total M/L of the Sgr core is 21 in solar units. A second structure that roughly mimics expectations for wrapped, leading Sgr arm debris crosses the trailing arm in the Southern Hemisphere; however, this may also be an unrelated tidal feature. Among the <13 kpc M giants toward the South Galactic Pole are some with large RVs that identify them as halo stars, perhaps part of the Sgr leading arm near the Sun. The positions and RVs of Southern Hemisphere M giants are compared with those of southern globular clusters potentially stripped from the Sgr system and support for association of Pal 2 and Pal 12 with Sgr debris is found. Our discussion includes description of a masked-filtered cross-correlation methodology that achieves better than 1/20 of a resolution element RVs in moderate resolution spectra.

Recent theoretical work has concentrated on calculating the Casimir effect in curved spacetime. In this paper we outline the forward problem of metrical variation due to the Casimir effect for spherical geometries. We consider a scalar quantum field inside a hollow superconducting sphere. Metric equations are developed describing the evolution of the scalar curvature after the sphere transitions to the normal state.

Light wave-packets propagating from the Earth to satellites will be deformed by the curved background spacetime of the Earth, thus influencing the quantum state of light. We show that Gaussian coherence of photon pairs, which are initially prepared in a two-mode squeezed state, is affected by the curved spacetime background of the Earth. We demonstrate that quantum coherence of the state increases for a specific range of height h and then gradually approaches a finite value with further increasing height of the satellite's orbit in Kerr spacetime, because special relativistic effect are involved. Meanwhile, we find that Gaussian coherence increases with the increase of Gaussian bandwidth parameter, but the Gaussian coherence decreases with the growth of the peak frequency. In addition, we also find that total gravitational frequency shift causes changes of Gaussian coherence less than $%1$ and different initial peak frequencies also can effect rate of change with the satellite height in geostationary Earth orbits.

We show that perturbation theory may give reasonable numbers for the decays of the bottomonium and charmonium ground states to $e^+e^-$ and to $\gamma\gamma$. To reach this conclusion it is important to perform the resummation of logs. In particular, we obtain the value $\Gamma(\eta_b (1S) \to \gamma\gamma)=0.35 \pm 0.1 ({\rm th.}) \pm 0.05 (\lQ)$ KeV.

The International Space Station offers a unique platform for rapid and inexpensive deployment of space telescopes. A scientific opportunity of great potential later this decade is the use of telescopes for the electromagnetic follow-up of ground-based gravitational wave detections of neutron star and black hole mergers. We describe this possibility for OpTIIX, an ISS technology demonstration of a 1.5 m diffraction limited optical telescope assembled in space, and ISS-Lobster, a wide-field imaging X-ray telescope now under study as a potential NASA mission. Both telescopes will be mounted on pointing platforms, allowing rapid positioning to the source of a gravitational wave event. Electromagnetic follow-up rates of several per year appear likely, offering a wealth of complementary science on the mergers of black holes and neutron stars.

We study central limit theorems for a totally asymmetric, one-dimensional interacting random system. The models we work with are the Aldous-Diaconis-Hammersley process and the related stick model. The A-D-H process represents a particle configuration on the line, or a 1-dimensional interface on the plane which moves in one fixed direction through random local jumps. The stick model is the process of local slopes of the A-D-H process, and has a conserved quantity. The results describe the fluctuations of these systems around the deterministic evolution to which the random system converges under hydrodynamic scaling. We look at diffusive fluctuations, by which we mean fluctuations on the scale of the classical central limit theorem. In the scaling limit these fluctuations obey deterministic equations with random initial conditions given by the initial fluctuations. Of particular interest is the effect of macroscopic shocks, which play a dominant role because dynamical noise is suppressed on the scale we are working.

Domain wall, wormhole, particlelike, and cosmic string general relativistic solutions supported by two interacting phantom or ordinary scalar fields with 4th-, 6th-, and 8th-order potentials are studied. Numerical calculations indicate that regular finite energy solutions exist only for specific values of two free parameters of the potentials. By solving nonlinear eigenvalue problems for some fixed sets of values of the free parameters and of boundary conditions, it is shown that the presence or absence of the solutions depends on a particular symmetry of the problem, on the type of the scalar fields (ordinary or phantom), and on the form of the potential.

We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the graded algebra of automorphic forms on a symmetric domain of type IV to be free. From the necessary condition, we derive a classification result. Let $M$ be an even lattice of signature $(2,n)$ splitting two hyperbolic planes. Suppose $\Gamma$ is a subgroup of the integral orthogonal group of $M$ containing the discriminant kernel. It is proved that there are exactly 26 groups $\Gamma$ such that the space of modular forms for $\Gamma$ is a free algebra. Using the sufficient condition, we recover some well-known results.

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as a promising technique for wireless communication networks. By dynamically tuning the reflection amplitudes/phase shifts of a large number of passive elements, IRS enables flexible wireless channel control and configuration, and thereby enhances the wireless signal transmission rate and reliability significantly. Despite the vast literature on designing and optimizing assorted IRS-aided wireless systems, prior works have mainly focused on enhancing wireless links with single signal reflection only by one or multiple IRSs, which may be insufficient to boost the wireless link capacity under some harsh propagation conditions (e.g., indoor environment with dense blockages/obstructions). This issue can be tackled by employing two or more IRSs to assist each wireless link and jointly exploiting their single as well as multiple signal reflections over them. However, the resultant double-/multi-IRS aided wireless systems face more complex design issues as well as new practical challenges for implementation as compared to the conventional single-IRS counterpart, in terms of IRS reflection optimization, channel acquisition, as well as IRS deployment and association/selection. As such, a new paradigm for designing multi-IRS cooperative passive beamforming and joint active/passive beam routing arises which calls for innovative design approaches and optimization methods. In this paper, we give a tutorial overview of multi-IRS aided wireless networks, with an emphasis on addressing the new challenges due to multi-IRS signal reflection and routing. Moreover, we point out important directions worthy of research and investigation in the future.

Gauge invariance was discovered in the development of classical electromagnetism and was required when the latter was formulated in terms of the scalar and vector potentials. It is now considered to be a fundamental principle of nature, stating that different forms of these potentials yield the same physical description: they describe the same electromagnetic field as long as they are related to each other by gauge transformations. Gauge invariance can also be included into the quantum description of matter interacting with an electromagnetic field by assuming that the wave function transforms under a given local unitary transformation. The result of this procedure is a quantum theory describing the coupling of electrons, nuclei and photons. Therefore, it is a very important concept: it is used in almost every fields of physics and it has been generalized to describe electroweak and strong interactions in the standard model of particles. A review of quantum mechanical gauge invariance and general unitary transformations is presented for atoms and molecules in interaction with intense short laser pulses, spanning the perturbative to highly nonlinear nonperturbative interaction regimes. Various unitary transformations for single spinless particle Time Dependent Schr\"odinger Equations, TDSE, are shown to correspond to different time-dependent Hamiltonians and wave functions. Accuracy of approximation methods involved in solutions of TDSE's such as perturbation theory and popular numerical methods depend on gauge or representation choices which can be more convenient due to faster convergence criteria. We focus on three main representations: length and velocity gauges, in addition to the acceleration form which is not a gauge, to describe perturbative and nonperturbative radiative interactions. Numerical schemes for solving TDSE's in different representations are also discussed.

Recent progress in variational inference has paid much attention to the flexibility of variational posteriors. One promising direction is to use implicit distributions, i.e., distributions without tractable densities as the variational posterior. However, existing methods on implicit posteriors still face challenges of noisy estimation and computational infeasibility when applied to models with high-dimensional latent variables. In this paper, we present a new approach named Kernel Implicit Variational Inference that addresses these challenges. As far as we know, for the first time implicit variational inference is successfully applied to Bayesian neural networks, which shows promising results on both regression and classification tasks.

We investigate the role of environment on star-formation rates of galaxies at various cosmic densities in well-studied clusters. We present the star-forming main sequence for 163 galaxies in four EDisCS clusters in the range 0.4 $<$ z $<$ 0.7. We use {\em Hubble Space Telescope}/Wide Field Camera 3 observations of the H$\alpha$ emission line to span three distinct local environments: the cluster core, infall region, and external field galaxies. The main sequence defined from our observations is consistent with other published H$\alpha$ distributions at similar redshifts, but differs from those derived from star-formation tracers such as 24$\mu$m. We find that the H$\alpha$-derived star-formation rates for the 67 galaxies with stellar masses greater than the mass-completeness limit of M$_*>$ 10$^{9.75}$M\textsubscript{\(\odot\)} show little dependence on environment. At face value, the similarities in the star-formation rate distributions in the three environments may indicate that the process of finally shutting down star formation is rapid, however, the depth of our data and size of our sample make it difficult to conclusively test this scenario. Despite having significant H$\alpha$ emission, 21 galaxies are classified as {\em UVJ}-quiescent and may represent a demonstration of the quenching of star formation caught in the act.

Feature engineering plays an important role in the success of a machine learning model. Most of the effort in training a model goes into data preparation and choosing the right representation. In this paper, we propose a robust feature engineering method, Randomized Union of Locally Linear Subspaces (RULLS). We generate sparse, non-negative, and rotation invariant features in an unsupervised fashion. RULLS aggregates features from a random union of subspaces by describing each point using globally chosen landmarks. These landmarks serve as anchor points for choosing subspaces. Our method provides a way to select features that are relevant in the neighborhood around these chosen landmarks. Distances from each data point to $k$ closest landmarks are encoded in the feature matrix. The final feature representation is a union of features from all chosen subspaces. The effectiveness of our algorithm is shown on various real-world datasets for tasks such as clustering and classification of raw data and in the presence of noise. We compare our method with existing feature generation methods. Results show a high performance of our method on both classification and clustering tasks.

Text-guided 3D object generation aims to generate 3D objects described by user-defined captions, which paves a flexible way to visualize what we imagined. Although some works have been devoted to solving this challenging task, these works either utilize some explicit 3D representations (e.g., mesh), which lack texture and require post-processing for rendering photo-realistic views; or require individual time-consuming optimization for every single case. Here, we make the first attempt to achieve generic text-guided cross-category 3D object generation via a new 3D-TOGO model, which integrates a text-to-views generation module and a views-to-3D generation module. The text-to-views generation module is designed to generate different views of the target 3D object given an input caption. prior-guidance, caption-guidance and view contrastive learning are proposed for achieving better view-consistency and caption similarity. Meanwhile, a pixelNeRF model is adopted for the views-to-3D generation module to obtain the implicit 3D neural representation from the previously-generated views. Our 3D-TOGO model generates 3D objects in the form of the neural radiance field with good texture and requires no time-cost optimization for every single caption. Besides, 3D-TOGO can control the category, color and shape of generated 3D objects with the input caption. Extensive experiments on the largest 3D object dataset (i.e., ABO) are conducted to verify that 3D-TOGO can better generate high-quality 3D objects according to the input captions across 98 different categories, in terms of PSNR, SSIM, LPIPS and CLIP-score, compared with text-NeRF and Dreamfields.

Image cropping can be maliciously used to manipulate the layout of an image and alter the underlying meaning. Previous image crop detection schemes only predicts whether an image has been cropped, ignoring which part of the image is cropped. This paper presents a novel robust watermarking network (RWN) for image crop localization. We train an anti-crop processor (ACP) that embeds a watermark into a target image. The visually indistinguishable protected image is then posted on the social network instead of the original image. At the recipient's side, ACP extracts the watermark from the attacked image, and we conduct feature matching on the original and extracted watermark to locate the position of the crop in the original image plane. We further extend our scheme to detect tampering attack on the attacked image. Besides, we explore a simple yet efficient method (JPEG-Mixup) to improve the generalization of JPEG robustness. According to our comprehensive experiments, RWN is the first to provide high-accuracy and robust image crop localization. Besides, the accuracy of tamper detection is comparable with many state-of-the-art passive-based methods.

We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of quasi-selective ultrafilters is equivalent to the existence of "asymptotic numerosities" for all sets of tuples of natural numbers. Such numerosities are hypernatural numbers that generalize finite cardinalities to countable point sets. Most notably, they maintain the structure of ordered semiring, and, in a precise sense, they allow for a natural extension of asymptotic density to all sequences of tuples of natural numbers.

Texture and Structure Two-view Classification of Images

Textural and structural features can be regraded as "two-view" feature sets. Inspired by the recent progress in multi-view learning, we propose a novel two-view classification method that models each feature set and optimizes the process of merging these views efficiently. Examples of implementation of this approach in classification of real-world data are presented, with special emphasis on medical images. We firstly decompose fully-textured images into two layers of representation, corresponding to natural stochastic textures (NST) and structural layer, respectively. The structural, edge-and-curve-type, information is mostly represented by the local spatial phase, whereas, the pure NST has random phase and is characterized by Gaussianity and self-similarity. Therefore, the NST is modeled by the 2D self-similar process, fractional Brownian motion (fBm). The Hurst parameter, characteristic of fBm, specifies the roughness or irregularity of the texture. This leads us to its estimation and implementation along other features extracted from the structure layer, to build the "two-view" features sets used in our classification scheme. A shallow neural net (NN) is exploited to execute the process of merging these feature sets, in a straightforward and efficient manner.

Using the InCites tool of Thomson Reuters, this study compares normalized citation impact values calculated for China, Japan, France, Germany, United States, and the UK throughout the time period from 1981 to 2010. The citation impact values are normalized to four subject areas: natural sciences; engineering and technology; medical and health sciences; and agricultural sciences. The results show an increasing trend in citation impact values for France, the UK and especially for Germany across the last thirty years in all subject areas. The citation impact of papers from China is still at a relatively low level (mostly below the world average), but the country follows an increasing trend line. The USA exhibits a relatively stable pattern of high citation impact values across the years. With small impact differences between the publication years, the US trend is increasing in engineering and technology but decreasing in medical and health sciences as well as in agricultural sciences. Similar to the USA, Japan follows increasing as well as decreasing trends in different subject areas, but the variability across the years is small. In most of the years, papers from Japan perform below or approximately at the world average in each subject area.

We show that Chen-Ruan cohomology is a homotopy invariant in certain cases. We introduce the notion of a T-representation homotopy, which is a stringent form of homotopy under which Chen-Ruan cohomology is invariant. We show that while hyperkahler quotients of the cotangent bundle to a complex vector space by a circle S^1 (here termed weighted hyperprojective spaces) are homotopy equivalent to weighted projective spaces, they are not S^1-representation homotopic. Indeed, we show that their Chen-Ruan cohomology rings (over the rationals) are distinct.

We study how networking corruptions--data corruptions caused by networking errors--affect video machine learning (ML) models. We discover apparent networking corruptions in Kinetics-400, a benchmark video ML dataset. In a simulation study, we investigate (1) what artifacts networking corruptions cause, (2) how such artifacts affect ML models, and (3) whether standard robustness methods can mitigate their negative effects. We find that networking corruptions cause visual and temporal artifacts (i.e., smeared colors or frame drops). These networking corruptions degrade performance on a variety of video ML tasks, but effects vary by task and dataset, depending on how much temporal context the tasks require. Lastly, we evaluate data augmentation--a standard defense for data corruptions--but find that it does not recover performance.

In this paper, we analyze how sequentially introducing decision variables into an integer program (IP) affects the value function and its level sets. We use a Gilmore-Gomory approach to find parametrized IP value functions over a restricted set of variables. We introduce the notion of maximal connected subsets of level sets - volumes in which changes to the constraint right-hand side have no effect on the value function - and relate these structures to IP value functions and optimal solutions.

Context. Coronal loops are the basic building blocks of the solar corona, which are related to the mass supply and heating of solar plasmas in the corona. However, their fundamental magnetic structures are still not well understood. Most coronal loops do not expand significantly, whereas the diverging magnetic field would have an expansion factor of about 5-10 over one pressure scale height. Aims. In this study, we investigate a unique coronal loop with a roughly constant cross section, it is ultra long and quite thin. A coronal loop model with magnetic helicity is presented to explain the small expansion of the loop width. Methods. This coronal loop was predominantly detectable in the 171 A channel of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA). Then, the local magnetic field line was extrapolated by a Potential-Field-Source-Surface model. Finally, the differential emission measure analysis made from six AIA bandpasses was applied to obtain the thermal properties of this loop. Results. This coronal loop has a projected length of roughly 130 Mm, a width of about 1.5 +(-) 0.5 Mm and a lifetime of around 90 minutes. It follows an open magnetic field line. The cross section expanded very little (i.e., 1.5-2.0) along the loop length during its whole lifetime. This loop has a nearly constant temperature at about 0.7 +(-) 0.2 MK, whereas its density exhibits the typical structure of a stratified atmosphere. Conclusions. We use a thin twisted flux tube theory to construct a model for this non-expanding loop, and find that indeed with sufficient twist a coronal loop can attain equilibrium. However, we can not rule out other possibilities such as footpoint heating by small-scale reconnection, elevated scale height by a steady flow along the loop etc.

We investigate tensor products of matrix factorisations. This is most naturally done by formulating matrix factorisations in terms of bimodules instead of modules. If the underlying ring is C[x_1,...,x_N] we show that bimodule matrix factorisations form a monoidal category. This monoidal category has a physical interpretation in terms of defect lines in a two-dimensional Landau-Ginzburg model. There is a dual description via conformal field theory, which in the special case of W=x^d is an N=2 minimal model, and which also gives rise to a monoidal category describing defect lines. We carry out a comparison of these two categories in certain subsectors by explicitly computing 6j-symbols.

Non-uniqueness and instability are characteristic features of image reconstruction processes. As a result, it is necessary to develop regularization methods that can be used to compute reliable approximate solutions. A regularization method provides of a family of stable reconstructions that converge to an exact solution of the noise-free problem as the noise level tends to zero. The standard regularization technique is defined by variational image reconstruction, which minimizes a data discrepancy augmented by a regularizer. The actual numerical implementation makes use of iterative methods, often involving proximal mappings of the regularizer. In recent years, Plug-and-Play image reconstruction (PnP) has been developed as a new powerful generalization of variational methods based on replacing proximal mappings by more general image denoisers. While PnP iterations yield excellent results, neither stability nor convergence in the sense of regularization has been studied so far. In this work, we extend the idea of PnP by considering families of PnP iterations, each being accompanied by its own denoiser. As our main theoretical result, we show that such PnP reconstructions lead to stable and convergent regularization methods. This shows for the first time that PnP is mathematically equally justified for robust image reconstruction as variational methods

We introduce a stable and efficient complex Langevin (CL) scheme to enable the first numerical simulations of the coherent-states (CS) formulation of polymer field theory. In contrast with Edwards' well known auxiliary-field (AF) framework, the CS formulation does not contain an embedded non-linear, non-local functional of the auxiliary fields, and the action of the field theory has a fully explicit, finite-order and semi-local polynomial character. In the context of a polymer solution model, we demonstrate that the new CS-CL dynamical scheme for sampling fluctuations in the space of coherent states yields results in good agreement with now-standard AF simulations. The formalism is potentially applicable to a broad range of polymer architectures and may facilitate systematic generation of trial actions for use in coarse-graining and numerical renormalization-group studies.

We show that quark models of current matrix-elements based on the Bakamjian-Thomas construction of relativistic states with a fixed number of particles, plus the additivity assumption, are covariant in the heavy-quark limit and satisfy the full set of heavy-quark symmetry relations discovered by Isgur and Wise. We find the lower bound of $\rho^2$ in such models to be $3/4$ for ground state mesons, independently of any parameter. Another welcome property of these models is that in the infinite momentum limit the wave functions vanish outside the domain $0\le x \le 1$.

The acceleration of the universe can be explained either through dark energy or through the modification of gravity on large scales. In this paper we investigate modified gravity models and compare their observable predictions with dark energy models. Modifications of general relativity are expected to be scale-independent on super-horizon scales and scale-dependent on sub-horizon scales. For scale-independent modifications, utilizing the conservation of the curvature scalar and a parameterized post-Newtonian formulation of cosmological perturbations, we derive results for large scale structure growth, weak gravitational lensing, and cosmic microwave background anisotropy. For scale-dependent modifications, inspired by recent $f(R)$ theories we introduce a parameterization for the gravitational coupling $G$ and the post-Newtonian parameter $\gamma$. These parameterizations provide a convenient formalism for testing general relativity. However, we find that if dark energy is generalized to include both entropy and shear stress perturbations, and the dynamics of dark energy is unknown a priori, then modified gravity cannot in general be distinguished from dark energy using cosmological linear perturbations.

Objective Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD), a key feature of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are poorly detected by human experts on standard color fundus photography (CFP) and typically require advanced imaging modalities such as fundus autofluorescence (FAF). The objective was to develop and evaluate the performance of a novel 'M3' deep learning framework on RPD detection. Materials and Methods A deep learning framework M3 was developed to detect RPD presence accurately using CFP alone, FAF alone, or both, employing >8000 CFP-FAF image pairs obtained prospectively (Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2). The M3 framework includes multi-modal (detection from single or multiple image modalities), multi-task (training different tasks simultaneously to improve generalizability), and multi-attention (improving ensembled feature representation) operation. Performance on RPD detection was compared with state-of-the-art deep learning models and 13 ophthalmologists; performance on detection of two other AMD features (geographic atrophy and pigmentary abnormalities) was also evaluated. Results For RPD detection, M3 achieved area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) 0.832, 0.931, and 0.933 for CFP alone, FAF alone, and both, respectively. M3 performance on CFP was very substantially superior to human retinal specialists (median F1-score 0.644 versus 0.350). External validation (on Rotterdam Study, Netherlands) demonstrated high accuracy on CFP alone (AUROC 0.965). The M3 framework also accurately detected geographic atrophy and pigmentary abnormalities (AUROC 0.909 and 0.912, respectively), demonstrating its generalizability. Conclusion This study demonstrates the successful development, robust evaluation, and external validation of a novel deep learning framework that enables accessible, accurate, and automated AMD diagnosis and prognosis.

We present a systematic investigation of the magnetoresponses of the Weyl points (WPs) with a topological charge of n = 2, 3 and 4, and with both linear and quadratic energy tilt. The linear tilt always tends to squeeze the Landau levels (LLs) of both conduction and valence bands of all the WPs, and eventually leads to LL collapse in the type-II phase. However, the quadratic energy tilt has more complex influences on the LLs of the unconventional WPs. For charge-n (n = 2, 4) WP, the influence of the quadratic tilt on the LLs of conduction and valence bands are opposite, i.e. if the LLs of conduction (valence) bands are squeezed, then that of the valence (conduction) bands are broadened, and the squeezed LL spectrum will be collapsed in type-III phase. But, the LL collapse generally can not be found in the type-III charge-3 WP. Moreover, for charge-n (n = 2, 3) WP, the quadratic tilt breaks the degeneracy of the chiral LLs regardless of the direction of the magnetic field, leading to additional optical transitions and magneto-optical conductivity peaks at low frequencies. Interestingly, the four chiral LLs in charge-4 WP are always not degenerate. Hence, there inevitably exist magneto-optical conductivity peaks at low frequencies for charge-4 WP. Since the density of state of the LL spectrum is very large, one can expect that the low-frequency magneto-optical responses in unconventional WPs would be significant and may be used for developing efficient terahertz photodetectors.

Poetry-writing in Sanskrit is riddled with problems for even those who know the language well. This is so because the rules that govern Sanskrit prosody are numerous and stringent. We propose a computational algorithm that converts prose given as E-text into poetry in accordance with the metrical rules of Sanskrit prosody, simultaneously taking care to ensure that sandhi or euphonic conjunction, which is compulsory in verse, is handled. The algorithm is considerably speeded up by a novel method of reducing the target search database. The algorithm further gives suggestions to the poet in case what he/she has given as the input prose is impossible to fit into any allowed metrical format. There is also an interactive component of the algorithm by which the algorithm interacts with the poet to resolve ambiguities. In addition, this unique work, which provides a solution to a problem that has never been addressed before, provides a simple yet effective speech recognition interface that would help the visually impaired dictate words in E-text, which is in turn versified by our Poetry Composer Engine.

As Transfer Learning from large-scale pre-trained models becomes more prevalent in Natural Language Processing (NLP), operating these large models in on-the-edge and/or under constrained computational training or inference budgets remains challenging. In this work, we propose a method to pre-train a smaller general-purpose language representation model, called DistilBERT, which can then be fine-tuned with good performances on a wide range of tasks like its larger counterparts. While most prior work investigated the use of distillation for building task-specific models, we leverage knowledge distillation during the pre-training phase and show that it is possible to reduce the size of a BERT model by 40%, while retaining 97% of its language understanding capabilities and being 60% faster. To leverage the inductive biases learned by larger models during pre-training, we introduce a triple loss combining language modeling, distillation and cosine-distance losses. Our smaller, faster and lighter model is cheaper to pre-train and we demonstrate its capabilities for on-device computations in a proof-of-concept experiment and a comparative on-device study.

In paper [3] on the classification of second-order PDEs with four independent variables that possess partner symmetries, asymmetric heavenly equation appears as one of canonical equations admitting partner symmetries. It was shown that all these canonical equations, together with general heavenly equation of Dubrov and Ferapontov [4], provide potentials for anti-self-dual Ricci-flat vacuum metrics [1,2,5], the asymmetric heavenly equation presenting the only exception so far. Our aim here is to show that the latter equation also governs anti-self-dual vacuum heavenly metric. We present the corresponding basis of null vector fields, null tetrad of coframe 1-forms and a general form of the metric. We obtain a multi-parameter polynomial solution of our equation which yields a family of metrics with the above properties. Riemann curvature 2-forms are also explicitly presented for the cubic solution to modified heavenly equation [4], which is a particular case of the asymmetric heavenly equation.

We propose a model of carrier-mediated ferromagnetism in semiconductors that accounts for the temperature dependence of the carriers. The model permits analysis of the thermodynamic stability of competing magnetic states, opening the door to the construction of magnetic phase diagrams. As an example we analyze the stability of a possible reentrant ferromagnetic semiconductor, in which increasing temperature leads to an increased carrier density, such that the enhanced exchange coupling between magnetic impurities results in the onset of ferromagnetism as temperature is raised.

The growing range of applications of Machine Learning (ML) in a multitude of settings motivates the ability of computing small explanations for predictions made. Small explanations are generally accepted as easier for human decision makers to understand. Most earlier work on computing explanations is based on heuristic approaches, providing no guarantees of quality, in terms of how close such solutions are from cardinality- or subset-minimal explanations. This paper develops a constraint-agnostic solution for computing explanations for any ML model. The proposed solution exploits abductive reasoning, and imposes the requirement that the ML model can be represented as sets of constraints using some target constraint reasoning system for which the decision problem can be answered with some oracle. The experimental results, obtained on well-known datasets, validate the scalability of the proposed approach as well as the quality of the computed solutions.

This paper demonstrates a correspondence between control problems (with partial observation) and observation problems in decentralized discrete-event systems, namely, the two classes of problems are Turing equivalent, as one class Turing reduces to the other. The correspondence allows decomposition of a control problem into a collection of simpler control sub-problems. Since observation problems in their most general formulation have been shown to be undecidable in previous work, the correspondence produced in this paper demonstrates that control problems -- in their most general form -- is also undecidable.

The next generation of galaxy surveys, aiming to observe millions of galaxies, are expensive both in time and cost. This raises questions regarding the optimal investment of this time and money for future surveys. In a previous work, it was shown that a sparse sampling strategy could be a powerful substitute for the contiguous observations. However, in this previous paper a regular sparse sampling was investigated, where the sparse observed patches were regularly distributed on the sky. The regularity of the mask introduces a periodic pattern in the window function, which induces periodic correlations at specific scales. In this paper, we use the Bayesian experimental design to investigate a random sparse sampling, where the observed patches are randomly distributed over the total sparsely sampled area. We find that, as there is no preferred scale in the window function, the induced correlation is evenly distributed amongst all scales. This could be desirable if we are interested in specific scales in the galaxy power spectrum, such as the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scales. However, for constraining the overall galaxy power spectrum and the cosmological parameters, there is no preference over regular or random sampling. Hence any approach that is practically more suitable can be chosen and we can relax the regular-grid condition for the distribution of the observed patches.

We have studied the reversal of magnetisation in Ising ferromagnet by the field having gradient along a particular direction. We employed the Monte Carlo simulation with Metropolis single spin flip algorithm. The average lifetime of the metastable state was observed to increase with the magnitude of the gradient of applied field. In the high gradient regime, the system was observed to show two distinct region of up and down spins. The interface or the domain wall was observed to move as one increases the gradient. The displacement of the mean position of the interface was observed to increase with the gradient as hyperbolic tangent function. The roughness of the interface was observed to decay exponentially as the gradient increases. The number of spin flip per site was observed to show a discontinuity in the vicinity of the domain wall. The amount of the discontinuity was found to diverge with the system size as a power law fashion with an exponent 5/3.

Proposal Distribution Calibration for Few-Shot Object Detection

Adapting object detectors learned with sufficient supervision to novel classes under low data regimes is charming yet challenging. In few-shot object detection (FSOD), the two-step training paradigm is widely adopted to mitigate the severe sample imbalance, i.e., holistic pre-training on base classes, then partial fine-tuning in a balanced setting with all classes. Since unlabeled instances are suppressed as backgrounds in the base training phase, the learned RPN is prone to produce biased proposals for novel instances, resulting in dramatic performance degradation. Unfortunately, the extreme data scarcity aggravates the proposal distribution bias, hindering the RoI head from evolving toward novel classes. In this paper, we introduce a simple yet effective proposal distribution calibration (PDC) approach to neatly enhance the localization and classification abilities of the RoI head by recycling its localization ability endowed in base training and enriching high-quality positive samples for semantic fine-tuning. Specifically, we sample proposals based on the base proposal statistics to calibrate the distribution bias and impose additional localization and classification losses upon the sampled proposals for fast expanding the base detector to novel classes. Experiments on the commonly used Pascal VOC and MS COCO datasets with explicit state-of-the-art performances justify the efficacy of our PDC for FSOD. Code is available at github.com/Bohao-Lee/PDC.

In a previous article, a universal linear algebraic model was proposed for describing homogeneous conformal geometries, such as the spherical, Euclidean, hyperbolic, Minkowski, anti-de Sitter and Galilei planes. This formalism was independent from the underlying field, providing an extension and general approach to other fields, such as finite fields. Some steps were taken even for the characteristic $2$ case. In this article, we undertake the study of the characteristic $2$ case in more detail. In particular, the concept of virtual quadratic spaces is used, defined in a previous article by the author, and a similar result is achieved for finite fields of characteristic $2$ as for other fields. Some differences from the non-characteristic $2$ case are also pointed out.

In this paper we demonstrate that cyclotrons can be made to have precisely constant betatron tunes over wide energy ranges. In particular, we show that the horizontal tune can be made constant and does not have to follow the Lorentz factor gamma, while still perfectly satisfying the isochronous condition. To make this demonstration we developed a technique based on the calculation of the betatron tunes entirely from the geometry of realistic non-hard-edge closed orbits. We present two particular cyclotron designs, one compact cyclotron and one ring cyclotron. The compact cyclotron design is backed up by a 3-dimensional finite element magnet calculation, that we also present here.

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a hypothetical radioactive process which, if observed, would prove the neutrino to be a Majorana fermion: a particle that is its own antiparticle. In this lecture mini-series I discuss the physics of Majorana fermions and the connection between the nature of neutrino mass and neutrinoless double beta decay. We review Dirac and Majorana spinors, discuss methods of distinguishing between Majorana and Dirac fermions, and derive in outline the connection between neutrino mass and double beta decay rates. We conclude by briefly summarizing the experimental landscape and the challenges associated with searches for this elusive process.

Population annealing is a powerful tool for large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. We adapt this method to molecular dynamics simulations and demonstrate its excellent accelerating effect by simulating the folding of a short peptide commonly used to gauge the performance of algorithms. The method is compared to the well established parallel tempering approach and is found to yield similar performance for the same computational resources. In contrast to other methods, however, population annealing scales to a nearly arbitrary number of parallel processors and it is thus a unique tool that enables molecular dynamics to tap into the massively parallel computing power available in supercomputers that is so much needed for a range of difficult computational problems.

Let $G$ be a locally finite group and $F(G)$ the Hirsch--Plotkin radical of $G$. Denote by $S$ the full inverse image of the generalized Fitting subgroup of $G/F(G)$ in $G$. Assume that there is a number $k$ such that the length of every chain of nested centralizers in $G$ does not exceed $k$. The Borovik--Khukhro conjecture states, in particular, that under this assumption the quotient $G/S$ contains an abelian subgroup of index bounded in terms of $k$. We disprove this statement and prove some its weaker analog.

In the early 1980s, S. T. Yau conjectured that any compact Riemannian three-manifold admits an infinite number of closed immersed minimal surfaces. We use min-max theory for the area functional to prove this conjecture in the positive Ricci curvature setting. More precisely, we show that every compact Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature and dimension at most seven contains infinitely many smooth, closed, embedded minimal hypersurfaces. In the last section we mention some open problems related with the geometry of these minimal hypersurfaces.

This work studies both limited sensitivity and nonlinearity of far field RF energy harvesting observed in reality and quantifies their effect, attempting to fill a major hole in the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) literature. RF harvested power is modeled as an arbitrary nonlinear, continuous, and non-decreasing function of received power, taking into account limited sensitivity and saturation effects. RF harvester's sensitivity may be several dBs worse than communications receiver's sensitivity, potentially rendering RF information signals useless for energy harvesting purposes. Given finite number of datapoint pairs of harvested (output) power and corresponding input power, a piecewise linear approximation is applied and the statistics of the harvested power are offered, as a function of the wireless channel fading statistics. Limited number of datapoints are needed and accuracy analysis is also provided. Case studies include duty-cycled (non-continuous), as well as continuous SWIPT, comparing with industry-level, RF harvesting. The proposed approximation, even though simple, offers accurate performance for all studied metrics. On the other hand, linear models or nonlinear-unlimited sensitivity harvesting models deviate from reality, especially in the low input power regime. The proposed methodology can be utilized in current and future SWIPT research.

The Jacobi theta-functions admit a definition through the autonomous differential equations (dynamical system); not only through the famous Fourier theta-series. We study this system in the framework of Hamiltonian dynamics and find corresponding Poisson brackets. Availability of these ingredients allows us to state the problem of a canonical quantization to these equations and disclose some important problems. In a particular case the problem is completely solvable in the sense that spectrum of the Hamiltonian can be found. The spectrum is continuous, has a band structure with infinite number of lacunae, and is determined by the Mathieu equation: the Schr\"odinger equation with a periodic cos-type potential.

We generalise the procedure for joint estimation of cosmological parameters to allow freedom in the relative weights of various probes. This is done by including in the joint Likelihood function a set of 'Hyper-Parameters', which are dealt with using Bayesian considerations. The resulting algorithm is simple to implement. We illustrate the method by estimating the Hubble constant H_0 from the recent Cosmic Microwave Background experiments Boomerang and Maxima. For an assumed flat Lambda-CDM model with fixed parameters (n=1, Omega_m = 1-lambda = 0.3, Omega_b h^2 = 0.03, Qrms = 18 mu K) we solve for a single parameter, H_0= 79 +- 4 km/sec/Mpc (95 % CL, random errors only), slightly higher but still consistent with recent results from Cepheids. We discuss how the 'Hyper-Parameters' approach can be generalised for a combination of cosmic probes, and for other priors on the Hyper-Parameters.

NGC 5905 is one of the very few galaxies that underwent a giant X-ray outburst, with a change in photon countrate of a factor 100. The outburst spectrum is both, very soft and luminous (Bade, Komossa & Dahlem 1996). Remarkably, the optical pre-outburst emission line spectrum of NGC 5905 is that of an HII-type galaxy, i.e. does not show any signs of Seyfert activity. One exciting explanation of the X-ray observation is that we may have witnessed the tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) residing in the nucleus of this galaxy. The expected flare of electromagnetic radiation being produced when the stellar debris is swallowed by the black hole was proposed by Rees (1988) as a means of tracing SMBHs in nearby non-active galaxies. In the present work, we discuss this and other possible outburst scenarios through an analysis of all ROSAT PSPC and HRI X-ray observations of NGC 5905. We also present simultaneous and long-term optical photometry of NGC 5905 as well as follow-up optical spectroscopy.

Climate change is becoming one of the greatest challenges to the sustainable development of modern society. Renewable energies with low density greatly complicate the online optimization and control processes, where modern advanced computational technologies, specifically quantum computing, have significant potential to help. In this paper, we discuss applications of quantum computing algorithms toward state-of-the-art smart grid problems. We suggest potential, exponential quantum speedup by the use of the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) algorithms for sparse matrix inversions in power-flow problems. However, practical implementations of the algorithm are limited by the noise of quantum circuits, the hardness of realizations of quantum random access memories (QRAM), and the depth of the required quantum circuits. We benchmark the hardware and software requirements from the state-of-the-art power-flow algorithms, including QRAM requirements from hybrid phonon-transmon systems, and explicit gate counting used in HHL for explicit realizations. We also develop near-term algorithms of power flow by variational quantum circuits and implement real experiments for 6 qubits with a truncated version of power flows.

We conduct comprehensive investigations of both thermal and electrical transport properties of SnSe and SnS using first-principles calculations combined with the Boltzmann transport theory. Due to the distinct layered lattice structure, SnSe and SnS exhibit similarly anisotropic thermal and electrical behaviors. The cross-plane lattice thermal conductivity $\kappa_{L}$ is 40-60% lower than the in-plane values. Extremely low $\kappa_{L}$ is found for both materials because of high anharmonicity. It is suggested that nanostructuring would be difficult to further decrease $\kappa_{L}$ because of the short mean free paths of dominant phonon modes (1-30 nm at 300 K) while alloying would be efficient in reducing $\kappa_{L}$ considering that the relative $\kappa_{L}$ contribution ($\sim$ 65%) of optical phonons is remarkably large. On the electrical side, the anisotropic electrical conductivities are mainly due to the different effective masses of holes and electrons along the $a$, $b$ and $c$ axes. This leads to the highest optimal $ZT$ values along the $b$ axis and lowest ones along the $a$ axis in both $p$-type materials. However, the $n$-type ones exhibit the highest $ZT$s along the $a$ axis due to the enhancement of power factor when the chemical potential gradually approaches the secondary band valley that causes significant increase in electron mobility and density of states. SnSe exhibits larger optimal $ZT$s compared with SnS in both $p$-type and $n$-type materials. For both materials, the peak $ZT$s of $n$-type materials are much higher than those of $p$-type ones along the same direction. The predicted highest $ZT$ values at 750 K are 1.0 in SnSe and 0.6 in SnS along the $b$ axis for the $p$-type doping while those for the $n$-type doping reach 2.7 in SnSe and 1.5 in SnS along the $a$ axis, rendering them among the best bulk thermoelectric materials for large-scale applications.

Uncertainty in data is certainly one of the main problems in epidemiology, as shown by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The need for efficient methods capable of quantifying uncertainty in the mathematical model is essential in order to produce realistic scenarios of the spread of infection. In this paper, we introduce a bi-fidelity approach to quantify uncertainty in spatially dependent epidemic models. The approach is based on evaluating a high-fidelity model on a small number of samples properly selected from a large number of evaluations of a low-fidelity model. In particular, we will consider the class of multiscale transport models recently introduced in Bertaglia, Boscheri, Dimarco & Pareschi, Math. Biosci. Eng. (2021) and Boscheri, Dimarco & Pareschi, Math. Mod. Meth. App. Scie. (2021) as the high-fidelity reference and use simple two-velocity discrete models for low-fidelity evaluations. Both models share the same diffusive behavior and are solved with ad-hoc asymptotic-preserving numerical discretizations. A series of numerical experiments confirm the validity of the approach.

In order to conduct a statistical analysis on a given set of phylogenetic gene trees, we often use a distance measure between two trees. In a statistical distance-based method to analyze discordance between gene trees, it is a key to decide "biological meaningful" and "statistically well-distributed" distance between trees. Thus, in this paper, we study the distributions of the three tree distance metrics: the edge difference, the path difference, and the precise $K$ interval cospeciation distance, between two trees: first, we focus on distributions of the three tree distances between two random unrooted trees with $n$ leaves ($n \geq 4$); and then we focus on the distributions the three tree distances between a fixed rooted species tree with $n$ leaves and a random gene tree with $n$ leaves generated under the coalescent process with given the species tree. We show some theoretical results as well as simulation study on these distributions.

We calculate the homology of three families of 2-step nilpotent Lie (super)algebras associated with the symplectic, orthogonal, and general linear groups. The symplectic case was considered by Getzler and the main motivation for this work was to complete the calculations started by him. In all three cases, these algebras can be realized as the nilpotent radical of a parabolic subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra, and our first approach relies on a theorem of Kostant, but is otherwise elementary and involves combinatorics of Weyl groups and partitions which may be of independent interest. Our second approach is an application of (un)stable representation theory of the classical groups in the sense of recent joint work of the author with Snowden, which is shorter and more conceptual.

Vortex matter in mesoscopic superconductors is known to be strongly affected by the geometry of the sample. Here we show that in nanoscale superconductors with coherence length comparable to the Fermi wavelength the shape resonances of the order parameter results in an additional contribution to the quantum topological confinement - leading to unconventional vortex configurations. Our Bogoliubov-de Gennes calculations in a square geometry reveal a plethora of asymmetric, giant multi-vortex, and vortex-antivortex structures, stable over a wide range of parameters and which are very different from those predicted by the Ginzburg-Landau theory. These unconventional states are relevant for high-Tc nanograins, confined Bose-Einstein condensates, and graphene flakes with proximity-induced superconductivity.

We propose an artificial-noise alignment scheme for multicasting a common-confidential message to a group of receivers. Our scheme transmits a superposition of information and noise symbols. The noise symbols are aligned at each legitimate receiver and hence the information symbols can be decoded. In contrast, the noise symbols completely mask the information symbols at the eavesdroppers. Our proposed scheme does not require the knowledge of the eavesdropper's channel gains at the transmitter for alignment, yet it achieves the best-known lower bound on the secure degrees of freedom. Our scheme is also a natural generalization of the approach of transmitting artificial noise in the null-space of the legitimate receiver's channel, previously proposed in the literature.

The amount of data generated by scientific and commercial applications is growing at an ever-increasing pace. This data is often moved between geographically distributed sites for various purposes such as collaboration and backup which has led to significant increase in data transfer rates. Surge in data transfer rates when combined with proliferation of scientific applications that cannot tolerate data corruption triggered enhanced integrity verification techniques to be developed. End-to-end integrity verification minimizes the likelihood of silent data corruption by comparing checksum of files at source and destination servers using secure hash algorithms such as MD5 and SHA1. However, it imposes significant performance penalty due to overhead of checksum computation. In this paper, we propose Fast Integrity VERification (FIVER) algorithm which overlaps checksum computation and data transfer operations of files to minimize the cost of integrity verification. Extensive experiments show that FIVER is able to bring down the cost from 60% by the state-of-the-art solutions to below 10% by concurrently executing transfer and checksum operations and enabling file I/O share between them. We also implemented FIVER-Hybrid to mimic disk access patterns of sequential integrity verification approach to capture possible data corruption that may occur during file write operations which FIVER may miss. Results show that FIVER-Hybrid is able to reduce execution time by 20% compared to sequential approach without compromising the reliability of integrity verification.

We report on a VLBA imaging study of the nearby bright southern blazar PKS 1921 - 293 (OV - 236). High resolution VLBA observations, made at four frequencies (5, 12, 15, and 43 GHz) over the period 1994 - 2000, have revealed a strongly curved jet extending out to about 50 parsecs from the presumed central engine. Two epoch VLBA observations, each simultaneously carried out at both 5 and 43 GHz, show a large position angle difference of 51 - 67 degrees between the jet emission at 5 and 43 GHz. Although the core of PKS 1921 - 293 has one of the highest brightness temperatures measured in any compact radio source, unlike other bright blazars it is not a source of gamma-ray emission. However, there is evidence in these images for superluminal motion within the central region (a few parsecs from the core) and within the north-east diffuse emission region. In all six-epoch 43 GHz images, two equally compact bright components within the central parsec are seen.

The matching inside each view is through multiple perspectives to compare two input texts thoroughly. All these components are designed in an end-to-end trainable neural network model.

Melting of alloys along grain boundaries

We discuss melting of alloys along grain boundaries as a free boundary problem for two moving solid-liquid interfaces. One of them is the melting front and the other is the solidification front. The presence of the triple junction plays an important role in controlling the velocity of this process. The interfaces strongly interact via the diffusion field in the thin liquid layer between them. In the liquid film migration (LFM) mechanism the system chooses a more efficient kinetic path, which is controlled by diffusion in the liquid film on relatively short distances. However, only weak coherency strain energy is the effective driving force for LFM in the case of melting of one-phase alloys. The process with only one melting front would be controlled by the very slow diffusion in the mother solid phase on relatively large distances.

We analyze the equal-time Bethe-Salpeter quark wave functions of the pion in various models. We discuss how the quenched lattice QCD results with delocalized pion interpolators can be identified with the coarse grained wave functions, typical of low-energy effective models. Actually, we find that one-loop chiral quark models predict that pseudoscalar and tensor wave functions have the same shape, while the axial component is more extended. These facts are accurately confirmed by the lattice. We also show how the transversity information, relevant for the light-cone physics, can be straightforwardly obtained from the equal-time rest-frame lattice calculations. This remarkable relation provides a way to extract, for instance, the equal-time holographic wave functions and compare them, quite favorably, to the lattice calculations.

Theoretical foundation and application of the generalized spin-fermion (sp-d) exchange lattice model to magnetic and diluted magnetic semiconductors are discussed. The capabilities of the model to describe spin quasi-particle spectra are investigated. The main emphasis is made on the dynamic behavior of two interacting subsystems, the localized spins and spin density of itinerant carriers. A nonperturbative many-body approach, the Irreducible Green Functions (IGF) method, is used to describe the quasi-particle dynamics. Scattering states are investigated and three branches of magnetic excitations are calculated in the regime, characteristic of a magnetic semiconductor. For a simplified version of the model (Kondo lattice model) we study the spectra of quasi-particle excitations with special attention given to diluted magnetic semiconductors. For this, to include the effects of disorder, modified mean fields are determined self-consistently. The role of the Coulomb correlation and exchange is clarified by comparing of both the cases.

The DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cerenkov light) is a new type of ring imaging Cerenkov detector, which detects images from Cerenkov light produced in precisely machined quartz bars. The Cerenkov images are transported along several meters of bar to the edge of the detector where they are proximity focussed unto an array of conventional photomultiplier tubes. Results from a prototype device comprising a 2 x 4 x 240 cm**3 quartz bar read by an array of 480 PMT's are presented. Sample images, which are the first observed in this type of detector, are shown. Measurements of the light yield (approximately 20 photoelectrons per image) and the angular resolution are in good agreement with Monte Carlo predictions.

The notion of an open collar is generalized to that of a pseudo-collar. Important properties and examples are discussed. The main result gives conditions which guarantee the existence of a pseudo-collar structure on the end of an open n-manifold (n > 6). This paper may be viewed as a generalization of Siebenmann's famous collaring theorem to open manifolds with non-stable fundamental group systems at infinity.

We present new results from our spectral analyses of very hot central stars achieved since the last IAU Symposium on planetary nebulae held in Canberra 2001. The analyses are mainly based on UV and far-UV spectroscopy performed with the Hubble Space Telescope and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer but also on ground-based observations performed at the Very Large Telescope and other observatories. We report on temperature, gravity, and abundance determinations for the CNO elements of hydrogen-rich central stars. In many hydrogen-deficient central stars (spectral type PG1159) we discovered particular neon and fluorine lines, which are observed for the very first time in any astrophysical object. Their analysis strongly confirms the idea that these stars exhibit intershell matter as a consequence of a late helium-shell flash.

Er$^{3+}$$:$Y$_2$SiO$_5$ is a material of particular interest due to its suitability for telecom-band quantum memories and quantum transducers interfacing optical communication with quantum computers working in the microwave regime. Extending the coherence lifetimes of the electron spins and the nuclear spins is essential for implementing efficient quantum information processing based on such hybrid electron-nuclear spin systems. The electron spin coherence time of Er$^{3+}$$:$Y$_2$SiO$_5$ is so far limited to several microseconds, and there are significant challenges in optimizing coherence lifetimes simultaneously for both the electron and nuclear spins. Here we perform a pulsed-electron-nuclear-double-resonance investigation for an Er$^{3+}$-doped material at subkelvin temperatures. At the lowest working temperature, the electron spin coherence time reaches 290 $\pm$ 17 $\mu$s, which has been enhanced by 40 times compared with the previous results. In the subkelvin regime, a rapid increase in the nuclear spin coherence time is observed, and the longest coherence time of 738 $\pm$ 6 $\mu$s is obtained. These extended coherence lifetimes could be valuable resources for further applications of Er$^{3+}$$:$Y$_2$SiO$_5$ in fiber-based quantum networks.

For a graph $G$, we associate a family of real symmetric matrices, $S(G)$, where for any $A\in S(G)$, the location of the nonzero off-diagonal entries of $A$ are governed by the adjacency structure of $G$. Let $q(G)$ be the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues over all matrices in $S(G)$. In this work, we give a characterization of all connected threshold graphs $G$ with $q(G)=2$. Moreover, we study the values of $q(G)$ for connected threshold graphs with trace $2$, $3$, $n-2$, $n-3$, where $n$ is the order of threshold graph. The values of $q(G)$ are determined for all connected threshold graphs with $7$ and $8$ vertices with two exceptions. Finally, a sharp upper bound for $q(G)$ over all connected threshold graph $G$ is given.

We present examples of noncommutative four-spheres that are base spaces of $SU(2)$-principal bundles with noncommutative seven-spheres as total spaces. The noncommutative coordinate algebras of the four-spheres are generated by the entries of a projection which is invariant under the action of $SU(2)$. We give conditions for the components of the Connes--Chern character of the projection to vanish but the second (the top) one. The latter is then a non zero Hochschild cycle that plays the role of the volume form for the noncommutative four-spheres.

This is the last part of a series of articles on a family of geometric structures (PACS-structures) which all have an underlying almost conformally symplectic structure. While the first part of the series was devoted to the general study of these structures, the second part focused on the case that the underlying structure is conformally symplectic (PCS-structures). In that case, we obtained a close relation to parabolic contact structures via a concept of parabolic contactification. It was also shown that special symplectic connections (and thus all connections of exotic symplectic holonomy) arise as the canonical connection of such a structure. In this last part, we use parabolic contactifications and constructions related to Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) sequences for parabolic contact structures, to construct sequences of differential operators naturally associated to a PCS-structure. In particular, this gives rise to a large family of complexes of differential operators associated to a special symplectic connection. In some cases, large families of complexes for more general instances of PCS-structures are obtained.

Bases of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces (in dimension d) of relevance for quantum information and quantum computation are constructed from angular momentum theory and su(2) Lie algebraic methods. We report on a formula for deriving in one step the (1+p)p qupits (i.e., qudits with d = p a prime integer) of a complete set of 1+p mutually unbiased bases in C^p. Repeated application of the formula can be used for generating mutually unbiased bases in C^d with d = p^e (e > or = 2) a power of a prime integer. A connection between mutually unbiased bases and the unitary group SU(d) is briefly discussed in the case d = p^e.

This work presents a novel deep-learning-based pipeline for the inverse problem of image deblurring, leveraging augmentation and pre-training with synthetic data. Our results build on our winning submission to the recent Helsinki Deblur Challenge 2021, whose goal was to explore the limits of state-of-the-art deblurring algorithms in a real-world data setting. The task of the challenge was to deblur out-of-focus images of random text, thereby in a downstream task, maximizing an optical-character-recognition-based score function. A key step of our solution is the data-driven estimation of the physical forward model describing the blur process. This enables a stream of synthetic data, generating pairs of ground-truth and blurry images on-the-fly, which is used for an extensive augmentation of the small amount of challenge data provided. The actual deblurring pipeline consists of an approximate inversion of the radial lens distortion (determined by the estimated forward model) and a U-Net architecture, which is trained end-to-end. Our algorithm was the only one passing the hardest challenge level, achieving over $70\%$ character recognition accuracy. Our findings are well in line with the paradigm of data-centric machine learning, and we demonstrate its effectiveness in the context of inverse problems.

We explore the use of tools from Riemannian geometry for the analysis of symmetric positive definite matrices (SPD). An SPD matrix is a versatile data representation that is commonly used in chemical engineering (e.g., covariance/correlation/Hessian matrices and images) and powerful techniques are available for its analysis (e.g., principal component analysis). A key observation that motivates this work is that SPD matrices live on a Riemannian manifold and that implementing techniques that exploit this basic property can yield significant benefits in data-centric tasks such classification and dimensionality reduction. We demonstrate this via a couple of case studies that conduct anomaly detection in the context of process monitoring and image analysis.

Let (R,m) be a complete local ring, a an ideal of R and M a finitely generated R-module. The aim of this paper is to show that for any non-negative integer n, the least integer i such that the i-th local cohomology with respect to a is not in dimension <n, is equal to the n-th finiteness dimension of M relative to a. This generalizes the main result of Quy and Brodmann-Lashgari.

We introduce new shape-constrained classes of distribution functions on R, the bi-$s^*$-concave classes. In parallel to results of D\"umbgen, Kolesnyk, and Wilke (2017) for what they called the class of bi-log-concave distribution functions, we show that every $s$-concave density $f$ has a bi-$s^*$-concave distribution function $F$ for $s^*\leq s/(s+1)$. Confidence bands building on existing nonparametric bands, but accounting for the shape constraint of bi-$s^*$-concavity, are also considered. The new bands extend those developed by D\"umbgen et al. (2017) for the constraint of bi-log-concavity. We also make connections between bi-$s^*$-concavity and finiteness of the Cs\"org\H{o} - R\'ev\'esz constant of $F$ which plays an important role in the theory of quantile processes.

The world-volume theory on a D-brane in a constant B-field background can be described by either commutative or noncommutative Yang-Mills theories. These two descriptions correspond to two different gauge fixing of the diffeomorphism on the brane. Comparing the boundary states in the two gauges, we derive a map between commutative and noncommutative gauge fields in a path integral form, when the gauge group is U(1).

We discuss the angular distribution of the lepton pair in the Drell-Yan process, hadron+hadron -> \gamma^* X -> l^+ l^- X. This process gives information on the spin-density matrix \rho^{(q,\bar{q})} of the annihilating quark-antiquark pair in q+\bar{q} -> l^+ l^-. There is strong experimental evidence that even for unpolarised initial hadrons \rho^{(q,\bar{q})} is nontrivial, and therefore the quark-antiquark system is polarised. We discuss the possibilities of a general \rho^{(q,\bar{q})} -which could be entangled- and a factorising \rho^{(q,\bar{q})}. We argue that instantons may lead to a nontrivial \rho^{(q,\bar{q})} of the type indicated by experiments.

We give formulas for calculating the unramified Brauer group of a homogeneous space $X$ of a semisimple simply connected group $G$ with finite geometric stabilizer $\bar F$ over a wide family of fields of characteristic 0. When $k$ is a number field, we use these formulas in order to study the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle and weak approximation. We prove in particular that the Brauer-Manin pairing is constant on $X(k_v)$ for every $v$ outside from an explicit finite set of non archimedean places of $k$.

Given a digraph $G = (VG,AG)$, an \emph{even factor} $M \subseteq AG$ is a subset of arcs that decomposes into a collection of node-disjoint paths and even cycles. Even factors in digraphs were introduced by Geleen and Cunningham and generalize path matchings in undirected graphs. Finding an even factor of maximum cardinality in a general digraph is known to be NP-hard but for the class of \emph{odd-cycle symmetric} digraphs the problem is polynomially solvable. So far, the only combinatorial algorithm known for this task is due to Pap; it has the running time of $O(n^4)$ (hereinafter $n$ stands for the number of nodes in $G$). In this paper we present a novel \emph{sparse recovery} technique and devise an $O(n^3 \log n)$-time algorithm for finding a maximum cardinality even factor in an odd-cycle symmetric digraph.

Dynamic Sparse R-CNN

Sparse R-CNN is a recent strong object detection baseline by set prediction on sparse, learnable proposal boxes and proposal features. In this work, we propose to improve Sparse R-CNN with two dynamic designs. First, Sparse R-CNN adopts a one-to-one label assignment scheme, where the Hungarian algorithm is applied to match only one positive sample for each ground truth. Such one-to-one assignment may not be optimal for the matching between the learned proposal boxes and ground truths. To address this problem, we propose dynamic label assignment (DLA) based on the optimal transport algorithm to assign increasing positive samples in the iterative training stages of Sparse R-CNN. We constrain the matching to be gradually looser in the sequential stages as the later stage produces the refined proposals with improved precision. Second, the learned proposal boxes and features remain fixed for different images in the inference process of Sparse R-CNN. Motivated by dynamic convolution, we propose dynamic proposal generation (DPG) to assemble multiple proposal experts dynamically for providing better initial proposal boxes and features for the consecutive training stages. DPG thereby can derive sample-dependent proposal boxes and features for inference. Experiments demonstrate that our method, named Dynamic Sparse R-CNN, can boost the strong Sparse R-CNN baseline with different backbones for object detection. Particularly, Dynamic Sparse R-CNN reaches the state-of-the-art 47.2% AP on the COCO 2017 validation set, surpassing Sparse R-CNN by 2.2% AP with the same ResNet-50 backbone.

In this paper we examine cosmological weak lensing on non-linear scales and show that there are Newtonian and relativistic contributions and that the latter can also be extracted from standard Newtonian simulations. We use the post-Friedmann formalism, a post-Newtonian type framework for cosmology, to derive the full weak-lensing deflection angle valid on non-linear scales for any metric theory of gravity. We show that the only contributing term that is quadratic in the first order deflection is the expected Born correction and lens-lens coupling term. We use this deflection angle to analyse the vector and tensor contributions to the E- and B- mode cosmic shear power spectra. In our approach, once the gravitational theory has been specified, the metric components are related to the matter content in a well-defined manner. Specifying General Relativity, we write down a complete set of equations for a GR$+\Lambda$CDM universe for computing all of the possible lensing terms from Newtonian N-body simulations. We illustrate this with the vector potential and show that, in a GR$+\Lambda$CDM universe, its contribution to the E-mode is negligible with respect to that of the conventional Newtonian scalar potential, even on non-linear scales. Thus, under the standard assumption that Newtonian N-body simulations give a good approximation of the matter dynamics, we show that the standard ray tracing approach gives a good description for a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology.

We use semiconductors as an example to show that quantum chaos manifests itself in the energy spectrum of crystals. We analyze the {\it ab initio} band structure of silicon and the tight-binding spectrum of the alloy $Al_xGa_{1-x}As$, and show that some of their statistical properties obey the universal predictions of quantum chaos derived from the theory of random matrices. Also, the Bloch momenta are interpreted as external, tunable, parameters, acting on the reduced (unit cell) Hamiltonian, in close analogy to Aharonov-Bohm fluxes threading a torus. They are used in the investigation of the parametric autocorrelator of crystal velocities. We find that our results are in good agreement with the universal curves recently proposed by Simons and coworkers.

A scenario of an emergent universe is constructed in the background of an inhomogeneous space-time model which is asymptotically (at spatial infinity) FRW space-time. The cosmic substratum consists of non-interacting two components, namely {\bf a)} homogeneous and isotropic fluid but dissipative in nature and {\bf b)} an inhomogeneous and anisotropic barotropic fluid. In non-equilibrium thermodynamic prescription (second order deviations), particle creation mechanism is considered the cause for the dissipative phenomena. It is found that for constant value of the particle creation rate parameter there exists a scenario of emergent universe.
