For unpolarized electrons in a clean quantum wire, density functional theory reveals a thermally activated suppression of conductance. The activation temperature T_A grows slowly (roughly quadratically) with gate voltage due to pinning of the band edge at the chemical potential. Similar results were obtained experimentally by Kristensen et al. [Phys. Rev. B62, 10950 (2000)] for the temperature dependence of the anomalous conductance plateau near 0.7 (2e^2/h) in a quantum point contact.

Viral infections can be broadly divided into infections that are cleared from the host (acute) and those that persist (chronic). Why some viruses establish chronic infections while other do not is poorly understood. One possibility is that the host's immune response is impaired during chronic infections and is unable to clear the virus from the host. In this report we use a recently proposed framework to estimate the per capita killing efficacy of CD8$^+$ T cells, specific for the MT389 epitope of polyoma virus (PyV), which establishes a chronic infection in mice. Surprisingly, the estimated per cell killing efficacy of MT389-specific effector CD8$^+$ T cells during the acute phase of the infection was very similar to the previously estimated efficacy of effector CD8$^+$ T cells specific to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV-Armstrong), which is cleared from the host. We also find that during the chronic phase of the infection the killing efficacy of PyV-specific CD8$^+$ T cells was only half of that of cells in the acute phase. This decrease in the killing efficacy is again surprisingly similar to the change in the killing efficacy of LCMV-specific CD8$^+$ T cells from the peak of the response to the memory phase. Interestingly, we also find that PyV-specific CD8$^+$ T cells in the chronic phase of the infection require lower doses of antigen to kill a target cell. In summary, we find little support for the hypothesis that persistence of infections is caused by inability of the host to mount an efficient immune response, and that even in the presence of an efficient CD8$^+$ T cell response, some viruses can still establish a persistent infection.

Random graph models are important constructs for data analytic applications as well as pure mathematical developments, as they provide capabilities for network synthesis and principled analysis. Several models have been developed with the aim of faithfully preserving important graph metrics and substructures. With the goal of capturing degree distribution, clustering coefficient, and communities in a single random graph model, we propose a new model to address shortcomings in a progression of network modeling capabilities. The Block Two-Level Erd{\H{o}}s-R{\'e}nyi (BTER) model of Seshadhri et al., designed to allow prescription of expected degree and clustering coefficient distributions, neglects community modeling, while the Generalized BTER (GBTER) model of Bridges et al., designed to add community modeling capabilities to BTER, struggles to faithfully represent all three characteristics simultaneously. In this work, we fit BTER and two GBTER configurations to several real-world networks and compare the results with that of our new model, the Extended GBTER (EGBTER) model. Our results support that EBGTER adds a community-modeling flexibility to BTER, while retaining a satisfactory level of accuracy in terms of degree and clustering coefficient. Our insights and empirical testing of previous models as well as the new model are novel contributions to the literature.

The increasing concern with misinformation has stimulated research efforts on automatic fact checking. The recently-released FEVER dataset introduced a benchmark fact-verification task in which a system is asked to verify a claim using evidential sentences from Wikipedia documents. In this paper, we present a connected system consisting of three homogeneous neural semantic matching models that conduct document retrieval, sentence selection, and claim verification jointly for fact extraction and verification. For evidence retrieval (document retrieval and sentence selection), unlike traditional vector space IR models in which queries and sources are matched in some pre-designed term vector space, we develop neural models to perform deep semantic matching from raw textual input, assuming no intermediate term representation and no access to structured external knowledge bases. We also show that Pageview frequency can also help improve the performance of evidence retrieval results, that later can be matched by using our neural semantic matching network. For claim verification, unlike previous approaches that simply feed upstream retrieved evidence and the claim to a natural language inference (NLI) model, we further enhance the NLI model by providing it with internal semantic relatedness scores (hence integrating it with the evidence retrieval modules) and ontological WordNet features. Experiments on the FEVER dataset indicate that (1) our neural semantic matching method outperforms popular TF-IDF and encoder models, by significant margins on all evidence retrieval metrics, (2) the additional relatedness score and WordNet features improve the NLI model via better semantic awareness, and (3) by formalizing all three subtasks as a similar semantic matching problem and improving on all three stages, the complete model is able to achieve the state-of-the-art results on the FEVER test set.

http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
We introduce the first direct policy search algorithm which provably converges to the globally optimal $\textit{dynamic}$ filter for the classical problem of predicting the outputs of a linear dynamical system, given noisy, partial observations. Despite the ubiquity of partial observability in practice, theoretical guarantees for direct policy search algorithms, one of the backbones of modern reinforcement learning, have proven difficult to achieve. This is primarily due to the degeneracies which arise when optimizing over filters that maintain internal state. In this paper, we provide a new perspective on this challenging problem based on the notion of $\textit{informativity}$, which intuitively requires that all components of a filter's internal state are representative of the true state of the underlying dynamical system. We show that informativity overcomes the aforementioned degeneracy. Specifically, we propose a $\textit{regularizer}$ which explicitly enforces informativity, and establish that gradient descent on this regularized objective - combined with a ``reconditioning step'' - converges to the globally optimal cost a $\mathcal{O}(1/T)$ rate. Our analysis relies on several new results which may be of independent interest, including a new framework for analyzing non-convex gradient descent via convex reformulation, and novel bounds on the solution to linear Lyapunov equations in terms of (our quantitative measure of) informativity.

Climate change is the defining issue of our time, and we are at a defining moment. Various interest groups, social movement organizations, and individuals engage in collective action on this issue on social media. In addition, issue advocacy campaigns on social media often arise in response to ongoing societal concerns, especially those faced by energy industries. Our goal in this paper is to analyze how those industries, their advocacy group, and climate advocacy group use social media to influence the narrative on climate change. In this work, we propose a minimally supervised model soup [57] approach combined with messaging themes to identify the stances of climate ads on Facebook. Finally, we release our stance dataset, model, and set of themes related to climate campaigns for future work on opinion mining and the automatic detection of climate change stances.

Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerating cavities are a promising technology for compact, high-power, MeV-scale accelerators, providing continuous beam operation for a wide range of potential applications in industry, medicine, national security, and science. However, SRF cavities have traditionally been cooled using complex and expensive cryogenic infrastructure, which has been a significant obstacle in employing this powerful technology in small-scale systems. With the recent progress on high-performance Nb$_3$Sn-coated SRF cavities and the introduction of cryocoolers, which can provide turn-key style conduction cooling below 4.2 K, this barrier can now be overcome. At Cornell University, we have developed a prototype setup that utilizes a commercial cryocooler to provide the necessary cooling for operation of a 2.6 GHz Nb$_3$Sn-coated SRF cavity. We have now demonstrated first stable operation in continuous mode at accelerating fields up to 10 MV/m with a quality factor of Q$_0$ = 4x10$^9$, thereby achieving an important milestone in making turn-key SRF a reality.

We experimentally investigate an optical frequency standard based on the 467 nm (642 THz) electric-octupole reference transition 2S1/2(F=0) -> F7/2(F=3) in a single trapped 171Yb+ ion. The extraordinary features of this transition result from the long natural lifetime and from the 4f136s2 configuration of the upper state. The electric quadrupole moment of the 2F7/2 state is measured as -0.041(5) e(a0)^2, where e is the elementary charge and a0 the Bohr radius. We also obtain information on the differential scalar and tensorial components of the static polarizability and of the probe light induced ac Stark shift of the octupole transition. With a real-time extrapolation scheme that eliminates this shift, the unperturbed transition frequency is realized with a fractional uncertainty of 7.1x10^(-17). The frequency is measured as 642 121 496 772 645.15(52) Hz.

The distortion of distances between points under maps is studied. We first prove a Schwarz-type lemma for quasiregular maps of the unit disk involving the visual angle metric. Then we investigate conversely the quasiconformality of a bilipschitz map with respect to the visual angle metric on convex domains. For the unit ball or half space, we prove that a bilipschitz map with respect to the visual angle metric is also bilipschitz with respect to the hyperbolic metric. We also obtain various inequalities relating the visual angle metric to other metrics such as the distance ratio metric and the quasihyperbolic metric.

The standard deviations of the energy and Poynting power densities for an isotropic random field near a perfectly conducting planar boundary are characterized, based on quartic plane-wave expansions. For normal and transverse components, different rates of decay exist as a function of electrical distance from the boundary. At large distances, the envelopes for the power are more strongly damped than for the energy, both showing inverse power law decay. The decay for the standard deviation is generally one order faster than for the corresponding mean. For the normally directed power flux, its standard deviation near the boundary increases linearly with distance. The relative uncertainty of the scalar power is much smaller than for the Poynting power. Poynting's theorem for standard deviations is obtained and demonstrates larger standard deviations of the energy imbalance and power flux than their mean values.

The problem of reproducing dark energy effects is reviewed here with particular interest devoted to cosmography. We summarize some of the most relevant cosmological models, based on the assumption that the corresponding barotropic equations of state evolve as the universe expands, giving rise to the accelerated expansion. We describe in detail the $\Lambda$CDM ($\Lambda$-Cold Dark Matter) and $\omega$CDM models, considering also some specific examples, e.g., Chevallier-Polarsky-Linder, the Chaplygin gas and the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati cosmological model. Finally, we consider the cosmological consequences of $f(\mathcal{R})$ and $f(\mathcal{T})$ gravities and their impact on the framework of cosmography. Keeping these considerations in mind, we point out the \emph{model-independent} procedure related to cosmography, showing how to match the series of cosmological observables to the free parameters of each model. We critically discuss the role played by cosmography, as a \emph{selection criterion} to check whether a particular model passes or does not present cosmological constraints. In so doing, we find out cosmological bounds by fitting the luminosity distance expansion of the redshift, z, adopting the recent Union 2.1 dataset of supernovae, combined with the baryonic acoustic oscillation and the cosmic microwave background measurements. We perform cosmographic analyses, imposing different priors on the Hubble rate present value. In addition, we compare our results with recent PLANCK limits, showing that the $\Lambda$CDM and $\omega$CDM models seem to be the favorite with respect to other dark energy models. However, we show that cosmographic constraints on $f(\mathcal{R})$ and $f(\mathcal{T})$ cannot discriminate between extensions of General Relativity and dark energy models, leading to a disadvantageous degeneracy problem.

Hydrodynamic equations for a binary mixture of inelastic hard spheres are derived from the Boltzmann kinetic theory. A normal solution is obtained via the Chapman-Enskog method for states near the local homogeneous cooling state. The mass, heat, and momentum fluxes are determined to first order in the spatial gradients of the hydrodynamic fields, and the associated transport coefficients are identified. In the same way as for binary mixtures with elastic collisions, these coefficients are determined from a set of coupled linear integral equations. Practical evaluation is possible using a Sonine polynomial approximation, and is illustrated here by explicit calculation of the relevant transport coefficients: the mutual diffusion, the pressure diffusion, the thermal diffusion, the shear viscosity, the Dufour coefficient, the thermal conductivity, and the pressure energy coefficient. All these coefficients are given in terms of the restitution coefficients and the ratios of mass, concentration, and particle sizes. Interesting and new effects arise from the fact that the reference states for the two components have different partial temperatures, leading to additional dependencies of the transport coefficients on the concentration. The results hold for arbitrary degree of inelasticity and are not limited to specific values of the parameters of the mixture. Applications of this theory will be discussed in subsequent papers.

The genuine physical reasons explaining the delocalization effect of the Hubbard repulsion U are analyzed. First it is shown that always when this effect is observed, U acts on the background of a macroscopic degeneracy present in a multiband type of system. After this step I demonstrate that acting in such conditions, by strongly diminishing the double occupancy, U spreads out the contributions in the ground state wave function, hence strongly increases the one-particle localization length, consequently extends the one-particle behavior producing conditions for a delocalization effect. To be valuable, the reported results are presented in exact terms, being based on the first exact ground states deduced at half filling in two dimensions for a prototype two band system, the generic periodic Anderson model at finite value of the interaction.

Stochastic alternating algorithms for bi-objective optimization are considered when optimizing two conflicting functions for which optimization steps have to be applied separately for each function. Such algorithms consist of applying a certain number of steps of gradient or subgradient descent on each single objective at each iteration. In this paper, we show that stochastic alternating algorithms achieve a sublinear convergence rate of $\mathcal{O}(1/T)$, under strong convexity, for the determination of a minimizer of a weighted-sum of the two functions, parameterized by the number of steps applied on each of them. An extension to the convex case is presented for which the rate weakens to $\mathcal{O}(1/\sqrt{T})$. These rates are valid also in the non-smooth case. Importantly, by varying the proportion of steps applied to each function, one can determine an approximation to the Pareto front.

As an algebraic study of differential equations, differential algebras have been studied for a century and and become an important area of mathematics. In recent years the area has been expended to the noncommutative associative and Lie algebra contexts and to the case when the operator identity has a weight in order to include difference operators and difference algebras. This paper provides a cohomology theory for differential algebras of any weights. This gives a uniform approach to both the zero weight case which is similar to the earlier study of differential Lie algebras, and the non-zero weight case which poses new challenges. As applications, abelian extensions of a differential algebra are classified by the second cohomology group. Furthermore, formal deformations of differential algebras are obtained and the rigidity of a differential algebra is characterized by the vanishing of the second cohomology group.

The model consists of a scalar field, describing the transversal vibrations of a string consisting of piecewise constant sections with different tensions and mass densities, keeping the speed of light constant across the junctions. We consider the spectrum using transfer matrices and Chebyshev polynomials to get a closed formula for the eigenfrequencies. We calculate vacuum and free energy as well as the entropy of this system in two approaches, one using contour integration and another one using a Hurwitz zeta function. The latter results in a representation in terms of finite sums over polynomials. Several limiting cases are considered as well, for instance, the high-temperature expansion, which is expressed in terms of the heat kernel coefficients. The vacuum energy has no ultraviolet divergences, and the corresponding heat kernel coefficient $a_1$ is zero due to the constancy of the speed of light. This is in parallel to a similar situation in macroscopic electrodynamics with isorefractive boundary conditions.

We consider a continuum model for the dynamics of systems of self propelling particles with kinematic constraints on the velocities. The model aims to be analogous to a discrete algorithm used in works by T. Vicsek et al. In this paper we prove that the only types of the stationary planar solutions in the model are either of translational or axial symmetry of the flow. Within the proposed model we differentiate between finite and infinite flocking behavior by the finiteness of the kinetic energy functional.

We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the gluon-fusion production of a Higgs boson in models with massive color-octet scalars in the ${\bf (8,1)_0}$ representation using an effective-theory approach. We derive a compact analytic expression for the relevant Wilson coefficient, and explain an interesting technical aspect of the calculation that requires inclusion of the quartic-scalar interactions at next-to-next-to-leading order. We perform a renormalization-group analysis of the scalar couplings to derive the allowed regions of parameter space, and present phenomenological results for both the Tevatron and the LHC. The modifications of the Higgs production cross section are large at both colliders, and can increase the Standard Model rate by more than a factor of two in allowed regions of parameter space. We estimate that stringent constraints on the color-octet scalar parameters can be obtained using the Tevatron exclusion limit on Higgs production.

We propose an application of the Angular X-ray Cross-Correlation Analysis (AXCCA) to the scattered intensity distribution measured in three-dimensional (3D) reciprocal space from a single crystalline sample. Contrary to the conventional application of AXCCA, when averaging over many two-dimensional (2D) diffraction patterns collected from different randomly oriented samples is required, the proposed approach gives an insight into the structure of a single specimen. This is particularly useful in studies of defect-reach samples that are unlikely to have the same structure. Here, we demonstrate an example of a qualitative structure determination of a colloidal crystal on the simulated as well as experimentally measured 3D scattered intensity distributions.

We derive the low energy effective action for the dilatonic braneworld. In the case of the single-brane model, we find the effective theory is described by the Einstein-scalar theory coupled to the dark radiation. Remarkably, the dark radiation is not conserved in general due to a coupling to the bulk scalar field. The effective action incorporating Kaluza-Klein (KK) corrections is obtained and the role of the AdS/CFT correspondence in the dilatonic braneworld is revealed. In particular, it is shown that CFT matter would not be confined to the braneworld in the presence of the bulk scalar field. The relation between our analysis and the geometrical projection method is also clarified. In the case of the two-brane model, the effective theory reduces to a scalar-tensor theory with a non-trivial coupling between the radion and the bulk scalar field.

This paper presents the response of the ionosphere during the intense geomagnetic storms of October 12-20, 2016 and May 26-31, 2017 which occurred during the declining phase of the solar cycle 24. Total Electron Content (TEC) from GPS measured at Indore, Calcutta and Siliguri having geomagnetic dips varying from 32.23{\deg}N, 32{\deg}N and 39.49{\deg}N respectively and at the International GNSS Service (IGS) stations at Lucknow (beyond anomaly crest), Hyderabad (between geomagnetic equator and northern crest of EIA) and Bangalore (near magnetic equator) in the Indian longitude zone have been used for the storms. Prominent peaks in diurnal maximum in excess of 20-45 TECU over the quiet time values were observed during the October 2016 storm at Lucknow, Indore, Hyderabad, Bangalore and 10-20 TECU for the May 2017 storm at Siliguri, Indore, Calcutta and Hyderabad. The GUVI images onboard TIMED spacecraft that measures the thermospheric O/N2 ratio, showed high values (O/N2 ratio of about 0.7) on October 16 when positive storm effects were observed compared to the other days during the storm period. The observed features have been explained in terms of the O/N2 ratio increase in the equatorial thermosphere, CIR-induced High Speed Solar Wind (HSSW) event for the October 2016 storm. The TEC enhancement has also been explained in terms of the Auroral Electrojet (AE), neutral wind values obtained from the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM14) and equatorial electrojet strength from magnetometer data for both October 2016 and May 2017 storms. These results are one of the first to be reported from the Indian longitude sector on influence of CME- and CIR-driven geomagnetic storms on TEC during the declining phase of solar cycle 24.

For Machine Learning (ML) classification problem, where a vector of $\mathbf{x}$--observations (values of attributes) is mapped to a single $y$ value (class label), a generalized Radon--Nikodym type of solution is proposed. Quantum--mechanics --like probability states $\psi^2(\mathbf{x})$ are considered and "Cluster Centers", corresponding to the extremums of $<y\psi^2(\mathbf{x})>/<\psi^2(\mathbf{x})>$, are found from generalized eigenvalues problem. The eigenvalues give possible $y^{[i]}$ outcomes and corresponding to them eigenvectors $\psi^{[i]}(\mathbf{x})$ define "Cluster Centers". The projection of a $\psi$ state, localized at given $\mathbf{x}$ to classify, on these eigenvectors define the probability of $y^{[i]}$ outcome, thus avoiding using a norm ($L^2$ or other types), required for "quality criteria" in a typical Machine Learning technique. A coverage of each `Cluster Center" is calculated, what potentially allows to separate system properties (described by $y^{[i]}$ outcomes) and system testing conditions (described by $C^{[i]}$ coverage). As an example of such application $y$ distribution estimator is proposed in a form of pairs $(y^{[i]},C^{[i]})$, that can be considered as Gauss quadratures generalization. This estimator allows to perform $y$ probability distribution estimation in a strongly non--Gaussian case.

Aqueous solutions provide a medium for many important reactions in chemical synthesis, industrial processes, environmental chemistry, and biological functions. It is an accepted fact that aqueous solvents can be direct participants to the reaction process and not act only as simple passive dielectrics. Assisting water molecules and proton wires are thus essential for the efficiency of many reactions. Here we study the decomposition of urea into ammonia and isocyanic acid by means of enhanced ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. We highlight the role of the solvent molecules and their interactions with the reactants providing a proper description of the reaction mechanism and how the water hydrogen-bond network affects the reaction dynamics. Reaction free energy and rates have been calculated taking into account this important effect.

In this article, we discuss the outcomes of an experiment where we analysed whether and to what extent the introduction, in 2012, of the new research assessment exercise in Italy (a.k.a. Italian Scientific Habilitation) affected self-citation behaviours in the Italian research community. The Italian Scientific Habilitation attests to the scientific maturity of researchers and in Italy, as in many other countries, is a requirement for accessing to a professorship. To this end, we obtained from ScienceDirect 35,673 articles published from 1957 and 2016 by the participants to the 2012 Italian Scientific Habilitation, that resulted in the extraction of 1,379,050 citations retrieved through Semantic Publishing technologies. Our analysis showed an overall increment in author self-citations (i.e. where the citing article and the cited article share at least one author) in several of the 24 academic disciplines considered. However, we depicted a stronger causal relation between such increment and the rules introduced by the 2012 Italian Scientific Habilitation in 10 out of 24 disciplines analysed.

Nazarov-Treil-Volberg recently proved an elegant two-weight T1 theorem for "almost diagonal" operators that played a key role in the proof of the $A_2$ conjecture for dyadic shifts and related operators. In this paper, we obtain a generalization of their T1 theorem to the setting of matrix weights. Our theorem does differ slightly from the scalar results, a fact attributable almost completely to differences between the scalar and matrix Carleson Embedding Theorems. The main tools include a reduction to the study of well-localized operators, a new system of Haar functions adapted to matrix weights, and a matrix Carleson Embedding Theorem.

Li-ion batteries gradually lose their capacity with time and use; therefore, ageing forecasts are key to designs of battery powered systems. So far, cell-type-specific studies without standardised testing practices have lead to a variety of ageing models in which generality, simplicity, and accuracy seem exclusive. Previous studies hint to an interplay of multiple mechanisms leading to capacity loss, which depend on cell chemistry and are affected by temperature, state of charge, and cycling rate. Here we show that, despite this complexity, the time dependence of the actual capacity follows a unique master curve, for several cell types aged under various different conditions. We discuss the statistical origin of this common behaviour, and the testing practice required for the characterisation of a model. The master curve is a stretched exponential that describes many other phenomena in nature and is theoretically justified within a diffusion-to-traps depletion model. These findings provide a simple and broadly applicable framework for accurate life-time predictions.

We study correlation properties of the magnitude and the sign of the increments in the time intervals between successive heartbeats during light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep using the detrended fluctuation analysis method. We find short-range anticorrelations in the sign time series, which are strong during deep sleep, weaker during light sleep and even weaker during REM sleep. In contrast, we find long-range positive correlations in the magnitude time series, which are strong during REM sleep and weaker during light sleep. We observe uncorrelated behavior for the magnitude during deep sleep. Since the magnitude series relates to the nonlinear properties of the original time series, while the signs series relates to the linear properties, our findings suggest that the nonlinear properties of the heartbeat dynamics are more pronounced during REM sleep. Thus, the sign and the magnitude series provide information which is useful in distinguishing between the sleep stages.

Simultaneous translation is widely useful but remains challenging. Previous work falls into two main categories: (a) fixed-latency policies such as Ma et al. (2019) and (b) adaptive policies such as Gu et al. (2017). The former are simple and effective, but have to aggressively predict future content due to diverging source-target word order; the latter do not anticipate, but suffer from unstable and inefficient training. To combine the merits of both approaches, we propose a simple supervised-learning framework to learn an adaptive policy from oracle READ/WRITE sequences generated from parallel text. At each step, such an oracle sequence chooses to WRITE the next target word if the available source sentence context provides enough information to do so, otherwise READ the next source word. Experiments on German<->English show that our method, without retraining the underlying NMT model, can learn flexible policies with better BLEU scores and similar latencies compared to previous work.

Flux fractionalization transition in two-dimensional dimer-loop models

The fully-packed O(1) loop model on square and honeycomb lattices is critical, as is the fully-packed dimer model on these lattices. We introduce a model of fully-packed dimers and loops with a relative fugacity $w$ that interpolates between the fully-packed O(1) loop model ($w=0$) and the fully-packed dimer model ($w=\infty$). We demonstrate that these two limits are separated by a transition at a nonzero critical fugacity $w_c$. The $w<w_c$ phase has long loops and a power-law distribution of loop sizes, while a short-loop phase is established for $w>w_c$. Away from $w_c$, both phases are described by a long-wavelength Gaussian effective action for a scalar height field that represents the coarse-grained electrostatic potential of fluctuating dipoles. For periodic boundary conditions, the net electric flux that crosses a cut along any periodic direction takes on all half-integer values for $w<w_c$, while only integer values arise in the thermodynamic limit for $w>w_c$. Power-law columnar order, present in the $w>w_c$ short-loop phase, is destroyed by the proliferation of fractional fluxes in the long-loop phase. We argue that this dimer-loop model describes the low temperature properties of spin $S=1$ antiferromagnets with exchange and easy-axis anisotropy on the planar pyrochlore and kagome lattices in certain regimes of magnetic field and anisotropy. We also construct a Rokhsar-Kivelson type Hamiltonian whose ground state properties are controlled by this dimer-loop model.

We study a collection of polar self-propelled particles or polar flock on a two dimensional substrate with birth and death. Most of the previous studies of polar flock with birth and death have assumed the compressible flock, such that the local density of flock is completely ignored. Effect of birth and death of particles on the flock with moderate density is focus of our study. System is modeled using coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations of motion for local density and velocity of the flock and solved using numerical integration of the nonlinear coupled partial differential equations of motion and linearised hydrodynamics about the broken symmetry state. We studied the ordering kinetics as well as the steady state properties of the immortal flock and flock with finite birth and death rate. The ordering kinetics of the velocity field remains unaffected whereas the density field shows a crossover from asymptotic growth exponent $5/6$ for the immortal flock to diffusive limit $1/3$ for large birth and death rates. In the steady state, the presence of birth and death rate leads to the suppression of speed of sound wave and density fluctuations in the system.

Recording the dynamics of unscripted human interactions in the wild is challenging due to the delicate trade-offs between several factors: participant privacy, ecological validity, data fidelity, and logistical overheads. To address these, following a 'datasets for the community by the community' ethos, we propose the Conference Living Lab (ConfLab): a new concept for multimodal multisensor data collection of in-the-wild free-standing social conversations. For the first instantiation of ConfLab described here, we organized a real-life professional networking event at a major international conference. Involving 48 conference attendees, the dataset captures a diverse mix of status, acquaintance, and networking motivations. Our capture setup improves upon the data fidelity of prior in-the-wild datasets while retaining privacy sensitivity: 8 videos (1920x1080, 60 fps) from a non-invasive overhead view, and custom wearable sensors with onboard recording of body motion (full 9-axis IMU), privacy-preserving low-frequency audio (1250 Hz), and Bluetooth-based proximity. Additionally, we developed custom solutions for distributed hardware synchronization at acquisition and time-efficient continuous annotation of body keypoints and actions at high sampling rates. Our benchmarks showcase some of the open research tasks related to in-the-wild privacy-preserving social data analysis: keypoints detection from overhead camera views, skeleton-based no-audio speaker detection, and F-formation detection.

The quark meson (linear sigma) model with linearized fluctuations displays at a critical end point the onset of a curve of first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) located at non-zero chemical potentials and temperatures below a certain cross-over temperature. The model qualifies well for an illustrative example to study the impact of the emerging FOPT, e.g. on photon emissivities. Such a case study unravels the tight interlocking of the phase structure with the emission rates, here calculated according to lowest-order tree level processes by kinetic theory expressions. It is the strong dependence of the rates on the effective masses of the involved degrees of freedom which distinctively vary over the phase diagram thus shaping the emissivity accordingly. At the same time, thermodynamic properties of the medium are linked decisively to these effective masses, i.e. a consistent evaluation of thermodynamics, governing for instance adiabatic expansion paths, and emission rates is maintained within such an approach.

The interplanetary space probe Cassini/Huygens reached Saturn in July 2004 after seven years of cruise phase. The Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) measures the interplanetary, interstellar and planetary dust in our solar system since 1999 and provided unique discoveries. In 1999, CDA detected interstellar dust in the inner solar system followed by the detection of electrical charges of interplanetary dust grains during the cruise phase between Earth and Jupiter. The instrument determined the composition of interplanetary dust and the nanometre sized dust streams originating from Jupiter's moon Io. During the approach to Saturn in 2004, similar streams of submicron grains with speeds in the order of 100 km/s were detected from Saturn's inner and outer ring system and are released to the interplanetary magnetic field. Since 2004 CDA measured more than one million dust impacts characterizing the dust environment of Saturn. The instrument is one of three experiments which discovered the active ice geysers located at the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus in 2005. Later, a detailed compositional analysis of the water ice grains in Saturn's E ring system lead to the discovery of large reservoirs of liquid water (oceans) below the icy crust of Enceladus. Finally, the determination of the dust- magnetosphere interaction and the discovery of the extended E ring (at least twice as large as predicted) allowed the definition of a dynamical dust model of Saturn's E ring describing the observed properties. This paper summarizes the discoveries of a ten year story of success based on reliable measurements with the most advanced dust detector flown in space until today. This paper focuses on cruise results and findings achieved at Saturn with a focus on flux and density measurements.

This is a study of the Euler equations for free surface water waves in the case of varying bathymetry, considering the problem in the shallow water scaling regime. In the case of rapidly varying periodic bottom boundaries this is a problem of homogenization theory. In this setting we derive a new model system of equations, consisting of the classical shallow water equations coupled with nonlocal evolution equations for a periodic corrector term. We also exhibit a new resonance phenomenon between surface waves and a periodic bottom. This resonance, which gives rise to secular growth of surface wave patterns, can be viewed as a nonlinear generalization of the classical Bragg resonance. We justify the derivation of our model with a rigorous mathematical analysis of the scaling limit and the resulting error terms. The principal issue is that the shallow water limit and the homogenization process must be performed simultaneously. Our model equations and the error analysis are valid for both the two- and the three-dimensional physical problems.

We present a detailed study of the phase diagram of the Ising model in random graphs with arbitrary degree distribution. By using the replica method we compute exactly the value of the critical temperature and the associated critical exponents as a function of the minimum and maximum degree, and the degree distribution characterizing the graph. As expected, there is a ferromagnetic transition provided <k> <= <k^2> < \infty. However, if the fourth moment of the degree distribution is not finite then non-trivial scaling exponents are obtained. These results are analyzed for the particular case of power-law distributed random graphs.

To achieve appropriate interaction rates in recent neutrino oscillation studies, high atomic number nuclear targets were utilized. Because of the nuclear effects in the experimental observable, the utilization of these complicated targets produced systematic uncertainties that needed to be assessed accurately to constrain the discovery. We made an effort to calculate the nuclear effects in the Ar and H targets, which are intended to be employed at the DUNE distant and near detectors, respectively, through our simulation effort. The DUNE flux is peaking around 2.5 GeV and CCRES is the dominant process at this energy. So, this work will be focused only on the CCQE and CCRES interactions and the simulations will be done using two different neutrino event generators. We reported the ratio of the oscillation probability (P(Ar)/P(H) as a function of reconstructed neutrino energy for CCRES channels to quantify the systematic errors in the observables.

Recently, Buta etal. (2009) examined the question "Do Bars Drive Spiral Density Waves?", an idea supported by theoretical studies and also from a preliminary observational analysis Block etal (2004). They estimated maximum bar strengths Q_b, maximum spiral strengths Q_s, and maximum m=2 arm contrasts A_2s for 23 galaxies with deep AAT K_s-band images. These were combined with previously published Q_b and Q_s values for 147 galaxies from the OSUBSGS sample and with the 12 galaxies from Block etal(2004). Weak correlation between Q_b and Q_s was confirmed for the combined sample, whereas the AAT subset alone showed no significant correlations between Q_b and Q_s, nor between Q_b and A_2s. A similar negative result was obtained in Durbala etal. (2009) for 46 galaxies. Based on these studies, the answer to the above question remains uncertain. Here we use a novel approach, and show that although the correlation between the maximum bar and spiral parameters is weak, these parameters do correlate when compared locally. For the OSUBSGS sample a statistically significant correlation is found between the local spiral amplitude, and the forcing due to the bar's potential at the same distance, out to 1.6 bar radii (the typical bar perturbation is then of the order of a few percent). Also for the sample of 23 AAT galaxies we find a significant correlation between local parameters out to 1.4 bar radii. Our new results confirm that, at least in a statistical sense, bars do indeed drive spiral density waves.

We consider a zonal international power market and investigate potential economic incentives for short-term reductions of transmission capacities on existing interconnectors by the responsible transmission system operators (TSOs). We show that if a TSO aims to maximize domestic total welfare, it often has an incentive to reduce the capacity on the interconnectors to neighboring countries. In contrast with the (limited) literature on this subject, which focuses on incentives through the avoidance of future balancing costs, we show that incentives can exist even if one ignores balancing and focuses solely on welfare gains in the day-ahead market itself. Our analysis consists of two parts. In the first part, we develop an analytical framework that explains why these incentives exist. In particular, we distinguish two mechanisms: one based on price differences with neighboring countries and one based on the domestic electricity price. In the second part, we perform numerical experiments using a model of the Northern-European power system, focusing on the Danish TSO. In 97% of the historical hours tested, we indeed observe economic incentives for capacity reductions, leading to significant welfare gains for Denmark and welfare losses for the system as a whole. We show that the potential for welfare gains greatly depends on the ability of the TSO to adapt interconnector capacities to short-term market conditions. Finally, we explore the extent to which the recently introduced European "70%-rule" can mitigate the incentives for capacity reductions and their welfare effects.

In this work, we investigate an optimization problem over adapted couplings between pairs of real valued random variables, possibly describing random times. We relate those couplings to a specific class of causal transport plans between probabilities on the set of real numbers endowed with a filtration, for which their provide a specific representation, which is motivated by a precise characterization of the corresponding deterministic transport plans. From this, under mild hypothesis, the existence of a solution to the problem investigated here is obtained. Furthermore, several examples are provided, within this explicit framework.

Quantum state tomography--the practice of estimating a quantum state by performing measurements on it--is useful in a variety of contexts. We introduce "gentle tomography" as a version of tomography that preserves the measured quantum data. As an application of gentle tomography, we describe a simple polynomial-time method for universal source coding.

It is a long-lasting task to understand heat conduction phenomena beyond Fourier. Besides the low-temperature experiments on extremely pure crystals, it has turned out recently that heterogeneous materials with macro-scale size can also show thermal effects that cannot be modelled by the Fourier equation. This is called over-diffusive propagation, different from low-temperature observations, and is found in numerous samples made from metal foam, rocks, and composites. The measured temperature history is indeed similar to what Fourier's law predicts but the usual evaluation cannot provide reliable thermal parameters. This paper is a report on our experiments on several rock types, each type having multiple samples with different thicknesses. We show that size-dependent thermal behaviour can occur for both Fourier and non-Fourier situations. Moreover, based on the present experimental data, we find an empirical relation between the Fourier and non-Fourier parameters, which may be helpful in later experiments to develop a more robust and reliable evaluation procedure.

The cascade kinetic fragmentation process of solids is investigated when the condition probability density of splinter formation do not depends on time and has the property $P(\rho, r, t) = P(\rho/r)$. It is obtained the evolution equation for the probability distribution density in terms of its Mellin transformation. In the particular case $P(\rho/r) = C (\rho/r)^\alpha$, the limit solution of this equation at $t \to \infty$ is found. It differs essentially from the Kolmogorov law.

Using a Generic spin basis, we present a general formalism of one-loop radiative corrections to the spin correlations in the top quark pair production at the Next Linear Collider, and calculate the O(\alpha_s) QCD corrections under the soft gluon approximation. We find that: (a) in Off-diagonal basis, the $O(\alpha_s)$ QCD corrections to $e_L^- e^+$ ($e_R^- e^+$) scattering process increase the differential cross sections of the dominant spin component $t_{\uparrow}\bar{t}_{\downarrow}$ ($t_{\downarrow}\bar{t}_{\uparrow}$) by $\sim 30%$ and $\sim (0.1%-3%)$ depending on the scattering angle for $\sqrt{s}=400 GeV$ and 1 TeV, respectively; (b) in {Off-diagonal basis} (Helicity basis), the dominant spin component makes up 99.8% ($\sim 53%$) of the total cross section at both tree and one-loop level for $\sqrt{s}=400 GeV$, and the Off-diagonal basis therefore remains to be the optimal spin basis after the inclusion of $O(\alpha_s)$ QCD corrections.

We construct a differential algebra of forms on the kappa-deformed space. For a given realization of the noncommutative coordinates as formal power series in the Weyl algebra we find an infinite family of one-forms and nilpotent exterior derivatives. We derive explicit expressions for the exterior derivative and one-forms in covariant and noncovariant realizations. We also introduce higher-order forms and show that the exterior derivative satisfies the graded Leibniz rule. The differential forms are generally not graded-commutative, but they satisfy the graded Jacobi identity. We also consider the star-product of classical differential forms. The star-product is well-defined if the commutator between the noncommutative coordinates and one-forms is closed in the space of one-forms alone. In addition, we show that in certain realizations the exterior derivative acting on the star-product satisfies the undeformed Leibniz rule.

We consider (symmetric, non-degenerate) bilinear spaces over a finite field and investigate the properties of their $\ell$-complementary subspaces, i.e., the subspaces that intersect their dual in dimension $\ell$. This concept generalizes that of a totally isotropic subspace and, in the context of coding theory, specializes to the notions of self-orthogonal, self-dual and linear-complementary-dual (LCD) codes. In this paper, we focus on the enumerative and asymptotic combinatorics of all these objects, giving formulas for their numbers and describing their typical behavior (rather than the behavior of a single object). For example, we give a closed formula for the average weight distribution of an $\ell$-complementary code in the Hamming metric, generalizing a result by Pless and Sloane on the aggregate weight enumerator of binary self-dual codes. Our results also show that self-orthogonal codes, despite being very sparse in the set of codes of the same dimension over a large field, asymptotically behave quite similarly to a typical, not necessarily self-orthogonal, code. In particular, we prove that most self-orthogonal codes are MDS over a large field by computing the asymptotic proportion of the non-MDS ones for growing field size.

Terahertz (THz) radiation has been observed from multiferroic BiFeO$_3$ thin films via ultrafast modulation of spontaneous polarization upon carrier excitation with illumination of femtosecond laser pulses. The radiated THz pulses from BiFeO$_3$ thin films were clarified to directly reflect the spontaneous polarization state, giving rise to a memory effect in a unique style and enabling THz radiation even at zero-bias electric field. On the basis of our findings, we demonstrate potential approaches to ferroelectric nonvolatile random access memory with nondestructive readability and ferroelectric domain imaging microscopy using THz radiation as a sensitive probe.

An interesting concept that has been underexplored in the context of time-dependent simulations is the correlation of total magnetization, $C(t)$%. One of its main advantages over directly studying magnetization is that we do not need to meticulously prepare initial magnetizations. This is because the evolutions are computed from initial states with spins that are independent and completely random. In this paper, we take an important step in demonstrating that even for time evolutions from other initial conditions, $C(t_{0},t)$, a suitable scaling can be performed to obtain universal power laws. We specifically consider the significant role played by the second moment of magnetization. Additionally, we complement the study by conducting a recent investigation of random matrices, which are applied to determine the critical properties of the system. Our results show that the aging in the time series of magnetization influences the spectral properties of matrices and their ability to determine the critical temperature of systems.

I discuss the effect of the formation of a black hole on a (close) binary and show some of the current constraints that the observed properties of black hole X-ray binaries put on the formation of black holes. In particular I discuss the evidence for and against asymmetric kicks imparted on the black hole at formation and find contradicting answers, as there seems to be evidence for kick for individual systems and from the Galactic $z$-distribution of black hole X-ray binaries, but not from their line-of-sight velocities.

The magnetic field of the permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source SWISSCASE located at the University of Bern has been numerically simulated and experimentally investigated. For the first time the magnetized volume qualified for electron cyclotron resonance at 10.88 GHz and 388.6 mT has been analyzed in highly detailed 3D simulations with unprecedented resolution. The observed pattern of carbon coatings on the source correlates strongly with the electron and ion distribution in the ECR plasma of SWISSCASE. Under certain plasma conditions the ion distribution is tightly bound to the electron distribution and can considerably simplify the numerical calculations in ECR related applications such as ECR ion engines and ECR ion implanters.

Mitigating inefficient task mappings with an Adaptive Resource-Moldable Scheduler (ARMS)

Efficient runtime task scheduling on complex memory hierarchy becomes increasingly important as modern and future High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are progressively composed of multisocket and multi-chiplet nodes with nonuniform memory access latencies. Existing locality-aware scheduling schemes either require control of the data placement policy for memory-bound tasks or maximize locality for all classes of computations, resulting in a loss of potential performance. While such approaches are viable, an adaptive scheduling strategy is preferred to enhance locality and resource sharing efficiency using a portable programming scheme. In this paper, we propose the Adaptive Resource-Moldable Scheduler (ARMS) that dynamically maps a task at runtime to a partition spanning one or more threads, based on the task and DAG requirements. The scheduler builds an online platform-independent model for the local and non-local scheduling costs for each tuple consisting of task type (function) and task topology (task location within DAG). We evaluate ARMS using task-parallel versions of SparseLU, 2D Stencil, FMM, and MatMul as examples. Compared to previous approaches, ARMS achieves up to 3.5x performance gain over state-of-the-art locality-aware scheduling schemes.

The spread of infectious diseases, rumors, fashions, innovations are complex contagion processes, embedded both in networked and spatial contexts. Here we investigate the pattern dynamics of a complex contagion, where two agents, say $A$ and $B$, interact with each other and diffuse simultaneously in the geographic space. The contagion process for each follows the classical susceptible-infected-susceptible kinetics, and their interaction introduces a potential change in the secondary infection propensity compared to the baseline reproduction ratio $R_0$. We show that nontrivial spatial infection patterns arise, when the susceptible move faster than the infected and the interaction between the two agents is neither too competitive nor too cooperative. Interestingly, the system exhibits pattern hysteresis phenomena that quite different parameter regions allowing for patterns exist in the direction of increasing $R_0$ and in the direction of eradication by its reduction. The latter shows a remarkable enhancement in the contagion prevalence, meaning that the infection eradication now becomes extremely difficult compared to the single-agent scenario and to the coinfection without space. Linearization analysis supports our observations, and we identified the required elements and dynamical mechanism behind the emergence of a pattern. These findings call for further investigation for their close relevance, both in biological and social contagions.

We present a novel cell-centered direct Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite volume scheme on unstructured triangular meshes that is high order accurate in space and time and that also allows for time-accurate local time stepping (LTS). The new scheme uses the following basic ingredients: a high order WENO reconstruction in space on unstructured meshes, an element-local high-order accurate space-time Galerkin predictor that performs the time evolution of the reconstructed polynomials within each element, the computation of numerical ALE fluxes at the moving element interfaces through approximate Riemann solvers, and a one-step finite volume scheme for the time update which is directly based on the integral form of the conservation equations in space-time. The inclusion of the LTS algorithm requires a number of crucial extensions, such as a proper scheduling criterion for the time update of each element and for each node; a virtual projection of the elements contained in the reconstruction stencils of the element that has to perform the WENO reconstruction; and the proper computation of the fluxes through the space-time boundary surfaces that will inevitably contain hanging nodes in time due to the LTS algorithm. We have validated our new unstructured Lagrangian LTS approach over a wide sample of test cases solving the Euler equations of compressible gasdynamics in two space dimensions, including shock tube problems, cylindrical explosion problems, as well as specific tests typically adopted in Lagrangian calculations, such as the Kidder and the Saltzman problem. When compared to the traditional global time stepping (GTS) method, the newly proposed LTS algorithm allows to reduce the number of element updates in a given simulation by a factor that may depend on the complexity of the dynamics, but which can be as large as 4.7.

The wind collision region (WCR) in a colliding wind binary (CWB) is a particularly violent place, as such, it is surprising that it is also a region where significant quantities of interstellar dust can form. In extreme cases, approximately 30% of the total mass loss rate of a system can be converted into dust. These regions are poorly understood, as observation and simulation of these systems are difficult. In our previous paper we simulated dust growth in CWB systems using an advected scalar model and found our model to be suitable for qualitative study. For this paper we simulated the periodic dust forming CWB (WCd) system WR140 with our dust model, to determine how dust growth changes over the systems periastron passage. We found that dust production increases significantly at periastron passage, which is consistent with IR emission of the surrounding dusty shell. We also find that the dust production rate of the system decreases rapidly as the stars recede from each other, though the rate of decrease is significantly lower than the rate of increase during periastron passage. This was found to be due to strong cooling and its associated thermal instabilities, resulting in cool, high-density pockets of gas in the WCR where dust forms. The WCR also shows a degree of hysteresis, resulting in a radiative post-shock flow even when the stars are separated enough for the region to behave adiabatically.

We calculate the mode-dependent transmission probability of massless Dirac fermions through an ideal strip of graphene (length L, width W, no impurities or defects), to obtain the conductance and shot noise as a function of Fermi energy. We find that the minimum conductivity of order e^2/h at the Dirac point (when the electron and hole excitations are degenerate) is associated with a maximum of the Fano factor (the ratio of noise power and mean current). For short and wide graphene strips the Fano factor at the Dirac point equals 1/3, three times smaller than for a Poisson process. This is the same value as for a disordered metal, which is remarkable since the classical dynamics of the Dirac fermions is ballistic.

While the microscopic structure of defected solid crystalline materials has significant impact on their physical properties, efficient and accurate determination of a given polycrystalline microstructure remains a challenge. In this paper we present a highly generalizable and reliable variational method to achieve this goal for two-dimensional crystalline and quasicrystalline materials. The method is benchmarked and optimized successfully using a variety of large-scale systems of defected solids, including periodic structures and quasicrystalline symmetries to quantify their microstructural characteristics, e.g., grain size and lattice misorientation distributions. We find that many microstructural properties show universal features independent of the underlying symmetries.

Statistical Learning methodology for analysis of large collections of cross-sectional observational data can be most effective when the approach used is both Nonparametric and Unsupervised. We illustrate use of our NU Learning approach on 2016 US environmental epidemiology data that we have made freely available. We encourage other researchers to download these data, apply whatever methodology they wish, and contribute to development of a broad-based ``consensus view'' of potential effects of Secondary Organic Aerosols (volatile organic compounds of predominantly biogenic or anthropogenic origin) within PM2.5 particulate matter on circulatory and/or respiratory mortality. Our analyses here focus on the question: ``Are regions with relatively high air-borne biogenic particulate matter also expected to have relatively high circulatory and/or respiratory mortality?''

Key information to understand the formation and evolution of disk galaxies are imprinted in the stellar populations of their bulges. This paper has the purpose to make available new measurements of the stellar population properties of the bulges of four spiral galaxies. Both the central values and radial profiles of the line strength of some of the most common Lick indices are measured along the major- and minor- axis of the bulge-dominated region of the sample galaxies. The corresponding age, metallicity, and {\alpha}/Fe ratio are derived by using the simple stellar population synthesis model predictions. The central values and the gradients of the stellar population properties of ESO-LV1890070, ESO-LV4460170, and ESO-LV 5140100 are consistent with previous findings for bulges of spiral galaxies. On the contrary, the bulge of ESO-LV 4500200 shows peculiar chemical properties possibly due to the presence of a central kinematically-decoupled component. The negative metallicity gradient found in our bulges sample indicates a relevant role for the dissipative collapse in bulge formation. However, the shallow gradients found for the age and {\alpha}/Fe ratio suggests that merging can not be completely ruled out for the sample bulges. This is confirmed by the properties of ESO-LV 4500200 which can hardly be explained without invoking the capture of external material.

The Tree Decomposition Conjecture by Bar\'at and Thomassen states that for every tree $T$ there exists a natural number $k(T)$ such that the following holds: If $G$ is a $k(T)$-edge-connected simple graph with size divisible by the size of $T$, then $G$ can be edge-decomposed into subgraphs isomorphic to $T$. So far this conjecture has only been verified for paths, stars, and a family of bistars. We prove a weaker version of the Tree Decomposition Conjecture, where we require the subgraphs in the decomposition to be isomorphic to graphs that can be obtained from $T$ by vertex-identifications. We call such a subgraph a homomorphic copy of $T$. This implies the Tree Decomposition Conjecture under the additional constraint that the girth of $G$ is greater than the diameter of $T$. As an application, we verify the Tree Decomposition Conjecture for all trees of diameter at most 4.

The recent success of implicit neural scene representations has presented a viable new method for how we capture and store 3D scenes. Unlike conventional 3D representations, such as point clouds, which explicitly store scene properties in discrete, localized units, these implicit representations encode a scene in the weights of a neural network which can be queried at any coordinate to produce these same scene properties. Thus far, implicit representations have primarily been optimized to estimate only the appearance and/or 3D geometry information in a scene. We take the next step and demonstrate that an existing implicit representation (SRNs) is actually multi-modal; it can be further leveraged to perform per-point semantic segmentation while retaining its ability to represent appearance and geometry. To achieve this multi-modal behavior, we utilize a semi-supervised learning strategy atop the existing pre-trained scene representation. Our method is simple, general, and only requires a few tens of labeled 2D segmentation masks in order to achieve dense 3D semantic segmentation. We explore two novel applications for this semantically aware implicit neural scene representation: 3D novel view and semantic label synthesis given only a single input RGB image or 2D label mask, as well as 3D interpolation of appearance and semantics.

An abelian square is the concatenation of two words that are anagrams of one another. A word of length $n$ can contain at most $\Theta(n^2)$ distinct factors, and there exist words of length $n$ containing $\Theta(n^2)$ distinct abelian-square factors, that is, distinct factors that are abelian squares. This motivates us to study infinite words such that the number of distinct abelian-square factors of length $n$ grows quadratically with $n$. More precisely, we say that an infinite word $w$ is {\it abelian-square-rich} if, for every $n$, every factor of $w$ of length $n$ contains, on average, a number of distinct abelian-square factors that is quadratic in $n$; and {\it uniformly abelian-square-rich} if every factor of $w$ contains a number of distinct abelian-square factors that is proportional to the square of its length. Of course, if a word is uniformly abelian-square-rich, then it is abelian-square-rich, but we show that the converse is not true in general. We prove that the Thue-Morse word is uniformly abelian-square-rich and that the function counting the number of distinct abelian-square factors of length $2n$ of the Thue-Morse word is $2$-regular. As for Sturmian words, we prove that a Sturmian word $s_{\alpha}$ of angle $\alpha$ is uniformly abelian-square-rich if and only if the irrational $\alpha$ has bounded partial quotients, that is, if and only if $s_{\alpha}$ has bounded exponent.

We use the energy analysis as a perturbative method to study the effect of electron-radial breathing mode (RBM) phonon interaction on the electrical conductivity of long metallic zigzag carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The band structure of zigzag CNTs is calculated by exerting zone-folding method on relations derived by using the nearest neighbor approximation of tight-binding expression for the $\pi$ valence and conduction bands of graphene. The small hollow cylinder model, with two different approximations, is used to obtain the RBM frequency in our calculation. As the result, we have calculated the effects of electron$ - $RBM phonon interaction on the conductance of zigzag CNTs. It has been observed that current is a step$ - $like function of bias voltage because of the absorption or emission by electron injection in the system. Moreover, the dependence of the conductance to the temperature in low bias and high bias voltages has been studied. In this paper, we propose a simple and useful method for phonon spectroscopy. Also, since RBM mode determines the geometry and structure of CNT, this approach can be used for characterization of CNTs.

Quantum software plays a critical role in exploiting the full potential of quantum computing systems. As a result, it is drawing increasing attention recently. As research in quantum programming reaches maturity with a number of active research and practical products, software metric researchers need to focus on this new paradigm to evaluate it rigorously and quantitatively. As the first step, this paper proposes some basic metrics for quantum software, which mainly focus on measuring the size and structure of quantum software. These metrics are defined at different abstraction levels to represent various size and structure attributes in quantum software explicitly. The proposed metrics can be used to evaluate quantum software from various viewpoints.

$\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry imposed on the neutrino mass matrix in the flavour basis is known to be quite predictive. We integrate this very specific neutrino symmetry into a more general framework based on the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory. As in several other models, the fermion mass spectrum is determined by Hermitian mass matrices resulting from the renormalizable Yukawa couplings of the 16-plet of fermions with the Higgs fields transforming as $10, \bar{126},120$ representations of the SO(10) group. The $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry is spontaneously broken through the 120-plet. Consequences of this scheme are considered for fermion masses using both type-I and type-II seesaw mechanism. This scenario is shown to lead to a generalized CP invariance of the mass matrices and vanishing CP violating phases if the Yukawa couplings are invariant under the $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry. Small explicit breaking of the $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry is then shown to provide a very good understanding of all the fermion masses and mixing. Detailed fits to the fermion spectrum are presented in several scenarios. One obtains a very good fit to all observables in the context of the type-I seesaw mechanism but type-II seesaw model also provides a good description except for the overall scale of the neutrino masses. Three major predictions on the leptonic mixing parameters in the type-I seesaw case are (1) the atmospheric mixing angle $\theta_{23}^{l}$ close to maximal, (2) $\theta_{13}^{l}$ close to the present upper bound and (3) negative but very small Dirac CP violating phase in the neutrino oscillations.

Conversational bilingual speech encompasses three types of utterances: two purely monolingual types and one intra-sententially code-switched type. In this work, we propose a general framework to jointly model the likelihoods of the monolingual and code-switch sub-tasks that comprise bilingual speech recognition. By defining the monolingual sub-tasks with label-to-frame synchronization, our joint modeling framework can be conditionally factorized such that the final bilingual output, which may or may not be code-switched, is obtained given only monolingual information. We show that this conditionally factorized joint framework can be modeled by an end-to-end differentiable neural network. We demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed model on bilingual Mandarin-English speech recognition across both monolingual and code-switched corpora.

A dilemma worth Shakespeare's Hamlet is increasingly haunting companies and security researchers: ``to update or not to update, this is the question``. From the perspective of recommended common practices by software vendors the answer is unambiguous: you should keep your software up-to-date. But is common sense always good sense? We argue it is not.

Boron Abundances in Main Sequence B-type Stars: A Test of Rotational Depletion during Main Sequence Evolution

Boron abundances have been derived for seven main sequence B-type stars from HST STIS spectra around the B III 2066 A line. In two stars, boron appears to be undepleted with respect to the presumed initial abundance. In one star, boron is detectable but it is clearly depleted. In the other four stars, boron is undetectable implying depletions of 1 to 2 dex. Three of these four stars are nitrogen enriched, but the fourth shows no enrichment of nitrogen. Only rotationally induced mixing predicts that boron depletions are unaccompanied by nitrogen enrichments. The inferred rate of boron depletion from our observations is in good agreement with these predictions. Other boron-depleted nitrogen-normal stars are identified from the literature. Also, several boron-depleted nitrogen-rich stars are identified, and while all fall on the boron-nitrogen trend predicted by rotationally-induced mixing, a majority have nitrogen enrichments that are not uniquely explained by rotation. The spectra have also been used to determine iron-group (Cr, Mn, Fe, and Ni) abundances. The seven B-type stars have near solar iron-group abundances, as expected for young stars in the solar neighborhood. We have also analysed the halo B-type star, PG0832+676. We find [Fe/H] = -0.88 +/- 0.10, and the absence of the B III line gives the upper limit [B/H]<2.5. These and other published abundances are used to infer the star's evolutionary status as a post-AGB star.

We have demonstrated a novel type of superconducting transmon qubit in which a Josephson junction has been engineered to act as its own parallel shunt capacitor. This merged-element transmon (MET) potentially offers a smaller footprint and simpler fabrication than conventional transmons. Because it concentrates the electromagnetic energy inside the junction, it reduces relative electric field participation from other interfaces. By combining micrometer-scale Al/AlOx/Al junctions with long oxidations and novel processing, we have produced functional devices with $E_{J}$/$E_{C}$ in the low transmon regime ($E_{J}$/$E_{C}$ $\lesssim$30). Cryogenic I-V measurements show sharp dI/dV structure with low sub-gap conduction. Qubit spectroscopy of tunable versions show a small number of avoided level crossings, suggesting the presence of two-level systems (TLS). We have observed mean T1 times typically in the range of 10-90 microseconds, with some annealed devices exhibiting T1 > 100 microseconds over several hours. The results suggest that energy relaxation in conventional, small-junction transmons is not limited by junction loss.

Green's functions are fundamental quantities that determine the linear responses of physical systems. The recent developments of non-Hermitian systems, therefore, call for Green's function formulas of non-Hermitian bands. This task is complicated by the high sensitivity of energy spectrums to boundary conditions, which invalidates the straightforward generalization of Hermitian formulas. Here, based on the non-Bloch band theory, we obtain simple Green's function formulas of general one-dimensional non-Hermitian bands. Furthermore, in the large-size limit, these formulas dramatically reduce to finding the roots of a simple algebraic equation. As an application, our formulation provides the desirable formulas for the defining quantities, the gain and directionality, of directional amplification. Thus, our formulas provide an efficient guide for designing directional amplifiers.

Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is an emerging methodology that has recently attracted computational scientists working on nonintrusive reduced order modeling. One of the major strengths that DMD possesses is having ground theoretical roots from the Koopman approximation theory. Indeed, DMD may be viewed as the data-driven realization of the famous Koopman operator. Nonetheless, the stable implementation of DMD incurs computing the singular value decomposition of the input data matrix. This, in turn, makes the process computationally demanding for high dimensional systems. In order to alleviate this burden, we develop a framework based on sketching methods, wherein a sketch of a matrix is simply another matrix which is significantly smaller, but still sufficiently approximates the original system. Such sketching or embedding is performed by applying random transformations, with certain properties, on the input matrix to yield a compressed version of the initial system. Hence, many of the expensive computations can be carried out on the smaller matrix, thereby accelerating the solution of the original problem. We conduct numerical experiments conducted using the spherical shallow water equations as a prototypical model in the context of geophysical flows. The performance of several sketching approaches is evaluated for capturing the range and co-range of the data matrix. The proposed sketching-based framework can accelerate various portions of the DMD algorithm, compared to classical methods that operate directly on the raw input data. This eventually leads to substantial computational gains that are vital for digital twinning of high dimensional systems.

We present Doppler Images of the RS CVn binary system HR 1099 (V711 Tau) from spectra taken in two different sites, KPNO and MSO, during the MUSICO S 1998 campaign. Contemporaneous APT photometry is used to constrain the Doppler Images. The resulting maximum entropy reconstructions based on the least-square s deconvolved profiles, derived from $\sim$2000 photospheric absorption lines, r eveal the presence of starspots at medium-high latitudes. We have obtained maps for both components of the binary system for the first time. The predominant str ucture in the primary component is an off-centered polar spot, confirming previo us works on the same target by using independent codes. The result is verified b y using both data sets independently. The lower spectral resolution data set giv es a less detailed map for the MSO data set. The images obtained for the seconda ry component show a low latitude spot around orbital phase 0.7. This spot seems to mirror the structure seen on the primary. It might suggest that tidal forces may influence the spot distribution on this binary system.

We study the baryon mass fraction in a set of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters performed using the Tree+SPH code GADGET-2. We investigate the dependence of the baryon fraction upon the radiative cooling, star formation, feedback through galactic winds, conduction and redshift. Both the cold stellar component and the hot X-ray emitting gas have narrow distributions that, at large cluster-centric distances r>R500, are nearly independent of the physics included in the simulations. Only the non-radiative runs reproduce the gas fraction inferred from observations of the inner regions (r ~ R2500) of massive clusters. When cooling is turned on, the excess star formation is mitigated by the action of galactic winds, but yet not by the amount required by observational data. The baryon fraction within a fixed overdensity increases slightly with redshift, independent of the physical processes involved in the accumulation of baryons in the cluster potential well. In runs with cooling and feedback, the increase in baryons is associated with a larger stellar mass fraction that arises at high redshift as a consequence of more efficient gas cooling. For the same reason, the gas fraction appears less concentrated at higher redshift. We discuss the possible cosmological implications of our results and find that two assumptions generally adopted, (1) mean value of Yb = fb / (Omega_b/Omega_m) not evolving with redshift, and (2) a fixed ratio between f_star and f_gas independent of radius and redshift, might not be valid. In the estimate of the cosmic matter density parameter, this implies some systematic effects of the order of Delta Omega_m/Omega_m < +0.15 for non-radiative runs and Delta Omega_m/Omega_m ~ +0.05 and < -0.05 for radiative simulations.

The overall evolution of low-mass stars is heavily influenced by the processes occurring in the stellar interior. In particular, mixing processes in convectively unstable zones and overshooting regions affect the resulting observables and main sequence lifetime. We study the effects of different convective boundary definitions and mixing prescriptions in convective cores of low-mass stars, to discriminate the existence, size, and evolutionary stage of the central mixed zone by means of asteroseismology. We implemented the Ledoux criterion for convection in our stellar evolution code, together with a time-dependent diffusive approach for mixing of elements when semiconvective zones are present. We compared models with masses ranging from 1 M* to 2 M* computed with two different criteria for convective boundary definition and including different mixing prescriptions within and beyond the formal limits of the convective regions. Using calculations of adiabatic oscillations frequencies for a large set of models, we developed an asteroseismic diagnosis using only l=0 and l=1 modes based on the ratios of small to large separations r01 and r10 defined by Roxburgh & Vorontsov (2003). These variables are almost linear in the expected observable frequency range, and we show that their slope depends simultaneously on the central hydrogen content, the extent of the convective core, and the amplitude of the sound-speed discontinuity at the core boundary. By considering about 25 modes and an accuracy in the frequency determinations as expected from the CoRoT and Kepler missions, the technique we propose allows us to detect the presence of a convective core and to discriminate the different sizes of the homogeneously mixed central region without the need of a strong a priori for the stellar mass.

We find: (a) At high enough Galilei number (ratio of the buoyancy to viscous forces) the kinetic energy spectrum shows the Kolmogorov scaling with a power law exponent $-5/3$ for the range of scales between the bubble diameter and the dissipation scale ($\eta$). (b) For scales smaller than $\eta$, the physics of pseudo-turbulence is recovered.

We show that collisions between the outer Galactic HI disk and the leading arms (LAs) of the Magellanic stream (MS) can create giant HI holes and chimney-like structures in the disk. Based on the results of our N-body simulations on the last 2.5 Gyr evolution of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) interacting with the Galaxy, we investigate when and where the LAs can pass through the Galactic plane after the MS formation. We then investigate hydrodynamical interaction between LAs and the Galactic HI disk (``the Magellanic impact'') by using our new hydrodynamical simulations with somewhat idealized models of the LAs. We find that about 1-3% of the initial gas mass of the SMC, which consists of the LAs, can pass through the outer part (R=20-35 kpc) of the Galactic HI disk about 0.2 Gyr ago. We also find that the Magellanic impact can push out some fraction (~1%) of the outer Galactic HI disk to form 1-10 kpc-scale HI holes and chimney-like bridges between the LAs and the disk.

In content-based online platforms, use of aggregate user feedback (say, the sum of votes) is commonplace as the "gold standard" for measuring content quality. Use of vote aggregates, however, is at odds with the existing empirical literature, which suggests that voters are susceptible to different biases -- reputation (e.g., of the poster), social influence (e.g., votes thus far), and position (e.g., answer position). Our goal is to quantify, in an observational setting, the degree of these biases in online platforms. Specifically, what are the causal effects of different impression signals -- such as the reputation of the contributing user, aggregate vote thus far, and position of content -- on a participant's vote on content? We adopt an instrumental variable (IV) framework to answer this question. We identify a set of candidate instruments, carefully analyze their validity, and then use the valid instruments to reveal the effects of the impression signals on votes. Our empirical study using log data from Stack Exchange websites shows that the bias estimates from our IV approach differ from the bias estimates from the ordinary least squares (OLS) method. In particular, OLS underestimates reputation bias (1.6--2.2x for gold badges) and position bias (up to 1.9x for the initial position) and overestimates social influence bias (1.8--2.3x for initial votes). The implications of our work include: redesigning user interface to avoid voter biases; making changes to platforms' policy to mitigate voter biases; detecting other forms of biases in online platforms.

The spin-orbit interaction in a solid couples the spin of an electron to its momentum. This coupling gives rise to mutual conversion between spin and charge currents: the direct and inverse spin Hall effects. The spin Hall effects have been observed in metals and semiconductors. However, the spin/charge conversion has not been realized in one of the most fundamental semiconductors, silicon, where accessing the spin Hall effects has been believed to be difficult because of its very weak spin-orbit interaction. Here we report observation of the inverse spin Hall effect in silicon at room temperature. The spin/charge current conversion efficiency, the spin Hall angle, is obtained as 0.0001 for a p-type silicon film. In spite of the small spin Hall angle, we found a clear electric voltage due to the inverse spin Hall effect in the p-Si film, demonstrating that silicon can be used as a spin-current detector.

If cluster dark matter is in the form of compact objects it will introduce fluctuations into the light curves of distant sources. Current searches for MACHOs in clusters of galaxies focus on monitoring quasars behind nearby systems. This paper considers the effect of such a compact population on the surface brightness distribution of giant gravitationally lensed arcs. As the microlensing optical depth is significant in these clusters, the expected fluctuations are substantial and are observable. Focusing on the giant arc seen in Abell 370, we demonstrate that several `extreme' events would be visible in a comparison of HST observations at two epochs. Utilizing NGST, long term monitoring should reveal a ubiquitous twinkling of brightness over the surface of the arcs.

We demonstrate an innovative multifunctional artificial material that combines exotic metamaterial properties and the environmentally responsive nature of phase change media. The tunable metamaterial is designed with the aid of two interwoven coordinate-transformation equations and implemented with a network of thin film resistors and vanadium dioxide ($VO_{2}$). The strong temperature dependence of $VO_{2}$ electrical conductivity results in a relevant modification of the resistor network behavior, and we provide experimental evidence for a reconfigurable metamaterial electric circuit (MMEC) that not only mimics a continuous medium but is also capable of responding to thermal stimulation through dynamic variation of its spatial anisotropy. Upon external temperature change the overall effective functionality of the material switches between a "truncated-cloak" and "concentrator" for electric currents. Possible applications may include adaptive matching resistor networks, multifunctional electronic devices, and equivalent artificial materials in the magnetic domain. Additionally, the proposed technology could also be relevant for thermal management of integrated circuits

In this paper we argue that boundary condition may run with energy scale. As an illustrative example, we consider one-dimensional quantum mechanics for a spinless particle that freely propagates in the bulk yet interacts only at the origin. In this setting we find the renormalization group flow of U(2) family of boundary conditions exactly. We show that the well-known scale-independent subfamily of boundary conditions are realized as fixed points. We also discuss the duality between two distinct boundary conditions from the renormalization group point of view. Generalizations to conformal mechanics and quantum graph are also discussed.

Visualisation and 'diagnostic classifiers' reveal how recurrent and recursive neural networks process hierarchical structure

We investigate how neural networks can learn and process languages with hierarchical, compositional semantics. To this end, we define the artificial task of processing nested arithmetic expressions, and study whether different types of neural networks can learn to compute their meaning. We find that recursive neural networks can find a generalising solution to this problem, and we visualise this solution by breaking it up in three steps: project, sum and squash. As a next step, we investigate recurrent neural networks, and show that a gated recurrent unit, that processes its input incrementally, also performs very well on this task. To develop an understanding of what the recurrent network encodes, visualisation techniques alone do not suffice. Therefore, we develop an approach where we formulate and test multiple hypotheses on the information encoded and processed by the network. For each hypothesis, we derive predictions about features of the hidden state representations at each time step, and train 'diagnostic classifiers' to test those predictions. Our results indicate that the networks follow a strategy similar to our hypothesised 'cumulative strategy', which explains the high accuracy of the network on novel expressions, the generalisation to longer expressions than seen in training, and the mild deterioration with increasing length. This is turn shows that diagnostic classifiers can be a useful technique for opening up the black box of neural networks. We argue that diagnostic classification, unlike most visualisation techniques, does scale up from small networks in a toy domain, to larger and deeper recurrent networks dealing with real-life data, and may therefore contribute to a better understanding of the internal dynamics of current state-of-the-art models in natural language processing.

The Ice Chamber for Astrophysics-Astrochemistry (ICA) is a new laboratory end-station located at the Institute for Nuclear Research (Atomki) in Debrecen, Hungary. The ICA has been specifically designed for the study of the physico-chemical properties of astrophysical ice analogues and their chemical evolution when subjected to ionising radiation and thermal processing. The ICA is an ultra-high vacuum compatible chamber containing a series of IR-transparent substrates mounted in a copper holder connected to a closed-cycle cryostat capable of being cooled down to 20 K, itself mounted on a 360{\deg} rotation stage and a z-linear manipulator. Ices are deposited onto the substrates via background deposition of dosed gases. Ice structure and chemical composition are monitored by means of FTIR absorbance spectroscopy in transmission mode, although use of reflectance mode is possible by using metallic substrates. Pre-prepared ices may be processed in a variety of ways. A 2 MV Tandetron accelerator is capable of delivering a wide variety of high-energy ions into the ICA, which simulates ice processing by cosmic rays, the solar wind, or magnetospheric ions. The ICA is also equipped with an electron gun which may be used for electron impact radiolysis of ices. Thermal processing of both deposited and processed ices may be monitored by means of both FTIR spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry. In this paper, we provide a detailed description of the ICA set-up, as well as an overview of preliminary results obtained and future plans.

Shadowing corrections to structure functions of heavy nuclei are calculated at very low values of Bjorken-$x$ and at values of the momentum transfer relevant to recent experiments. Good agreement is obtained with data from the E665 Collaboration for Xe/D and Pb/D, and with the NMC data on Ca/D and C/D structure function ratios. Corrections to the deuteron structure function are also estimated down to $x \sim 10^{-5}$, and found to be less than about $3\%$ over the range of $x$ covered by the E665 data.

In gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking theories the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle can decay during or after the nucleosynthesis epoch. The decay products such as photons and hadrons can destroy the light element abundances. Restricting the damage that these decays can do leads to constraints on the abundance and lifetime of the NLSP. We compute the freezeout abundance of the NLSP by including all coannhilation thresholds which are particularly important in the case in which the NLSP is the lightest stau. We find that the upper bound on the messenger scale can be as stringent as 10^12 GeV when the NLSP is the lightest neutralino and 10^13 GeV when the NLSP is the lightest stau. Our findings disfavour models of gauge mediation where the messenger scale is close to the GUT scale or results from balancing renormalisable interactions with non-renormalisable operators at the Planck scale. When combined with the requirement of no gravitino overabundance, our bound implies that the reheating temperature after inflation must be less than 10^7 GeV.

We investigate the ability to discern between lognormal and powerlaw forms for the observed mass function of dense cores in star forming regions. After testing our fitting, goodness-of-fit, and model selection procedures on simulated data, we apply our analysis to 14 datasets from the literature. Whether the core mass function has a powerlaw tail or whether it follows a pure lognormal form cannot be distinguished from current data. From our simulations it is estimated that datasets from uniform surveys containing more than approximately 500 cores with a completeness limit below the peak of the mass distribution are needed to definitively discern between these two functional forms. We also conclude that the width of the core mass function may be more reliably estimated than the powerlaw index of the high mass tail and that the width may also be a more useful parameter in comparing with the stellar initial mass function to deduce the statistical evolution of dense cores into stars.

We study the robustness of quantum computers under the influence of errors modelled by strictly contractive channels. A channel $T$ is defined to be strictly contractive if, for any pair of density operators $\rho,\sigma$ in its domain, $\| T\rho - T\sigma \|_1 \le k \| \rho-\sigma \|_1$ for some $0 \le k < 1$ (here $\| \cdot \|_1$ denotes the trace norm). In other words, strictly contractive channels render the states of the computer less distinguishable in the sense of quantum detection theory. Starting from the premise that all experimental procedures can be carried out with finite precision, we argue that there exists a physically meaningful connection between strictly contractive channels and errors in physically realizable quantum computers. We show that, in the absence of error correction, sensitivity of quantum memories and computers to strictly contractive errors grows exponentially with storage time and computation time respectively, and depends only on the constant $k$ and the measurement precision. We prove that strict contractivity rules out the possibility of perfect error correction, and give an argument that approximate error correction, which covers previous work on fault-tolerant quantum computation as a special case, is possible.

Dynamics of an atomic wavepacket in an optical superlattice is considered. We propose a simple scheme of wavepacket localization near the minima of the optical potential. In our approach, a wavelike perturbation caused by an additional lattice induces classical resonance which traps an atomic cloud. Adiabatic phase modulation of the perturbation slowly shifts resonance zone in phase space to the range of lower energies, retaining trapped atoms inside. This phenomenon is a kind of autoresonance. Quantum computations agree well with classical modelling.

Artificial lights commonly leave strong lens flare artifacts on images captured at night. Nighttime flare not only affects the visual quality but also degrades the performance of vision algorithms. Existing flare removal methods mainly focus on removing daytime flares and fail in nighttime. Nighttime flare removal is challenging because of the unique luminance and spectrum of artificial lights and the diverse patterns and image degradation of the flares captured at night. The scarcity of nighttime flare removal datasets limits the research on this crucial task. In this paper, we introduce, Flare7K, the first nighttime flare removal dataset, which is generated based on the observation and statistics of real-world nighttime lens flares. It offers 5,000 scattering and 2,000 reflective flare images, consisting of 25 types of scattering flares and 10 types of reflective flares. The 7,000 flare patterns can be randomly added to flare-free images, forming the flare-corrupted and flare-free image pairs. With the paired data, we can train deep models to restore flare-corrupted images taken in the real world effectively. Apart from abundant flare patterns, we also provide rich annotations, including the labeling of light source, glare with shimmer, reflective flare, and streak, which are commonly absent from existing datasets. Hence, our dataset can facilitate new work in nighttime flare removal and more fine-grained analysis of flare patterns. Extensive experiments show that our dataset adds diversity to existing flare datasets and pushes the frontier of nighttime flare removal.

We report the discovery of non-thermal pulsed X-ray/soft gamma-ray emission up to about 150 keV from the anomalous X-ray pulsar AXP 1E 1841-045 located near the centre of supernova remnant Kes 73 using RXTE PCA and HEXTE data. The morphology of the double-peaked pulse profile changes rapidly with energy from 2 keV up to about 8 keV, above which the pulse shape remains more or less stable. The pulsed spectrum is very hard, its shape above 10 keV can be described well by a power law with a photon index of 0.94 +/- 0.16. 1E 1841-045 is the first AXP for which such very-hard pulsed emission has been detected, which points to an origin in the magnetosphere of a magnetar.

This paper introduces a simple yet effective query expansion approach, denoted as query2doc, to improve both sparse and dense retrieval systems. The proposed method first generates pseudo-documents by few-shot prompting large language models (LLMs), and then expands the query with generated pseudo-documents. LLMs are trained on web-scale text corpora and are adept at knowledge memorization. The pseudo-documents from LLMs often contain highly relevant information that can aid in query disambiguation and guide the retrievers. Experimental results demonstrate that query2doc boosts the performance of BM25 by 3% to 15% on ad-hoc IR datasets, such as MS-MARCO and TREC DL, without any model fine-tuning. Furthermore, our method also benefits state-of-the-art dense retrievers in terms of both in-domain and out-of-domain results.
