Graphene's linear bandstructure and two-dimensional density of states provide an implicit advantage for sensing charge. Here, these advantages are leveraged in a deeply depleted graphene-oxide-semiconductor (D2GOS) junction detector architecture to sense carriers created by ionizing radiation. Specifically, the room temperature response of the silicon-based D2GOS junction is analyzed during irradiation with 20 MeV Si4+ ions. Detection was demonstrated for doses ranging from 12-1200 ions with device functionality maintained with no substantive degradation. To understand the device response, D2GOS pixels were characterized post-irradiation via a combination of electrical characterization, Raman spectroscopy, and photocurrent mapping. This combined characterization methodology underscores the lack of discernible damage caused by irradiation to the graphene while highlighting the nature of interactions between the incident ions and the silicon absorber.

We study private quantum channels on a single qubit, which encrypt given set of plaintext states $P$. Specifically, we determine all achievable states $\rho^{(0)}$ (average output of encryption) and for each particular set $P$ we determine the entropy of the key necessary and sufficient to encrypt this set. It turns out that single bit of key is sufficient when the set $P$ is two dimensional. However, the necessary and sufficient entropy of the key in case of three dimensional $P$ varies continuously between 1 and 2 bits depending on the state $\rho^{(0)}$. Finally, we derive private quantum channels achieving these bounds. We show that the impossibility of universal NOT operation on qubit can be derived from the fact that one bit of key is not sufficient to encrypt qubit.

We study a cosmological model in which phantom dark energy is coupled to dark matter by phenomenologically introducing a coupled term to the equations of motion of dark energy and dark matter. This term is parameterized by a dimensionless coupling function $\delta$, Hubble parameter and the energy density of dark matter, and it describes an energy flow between the dark energy and dark matter. We discuss two cases: one is the case where the equation-of-state $\omega_e$ of the dark energy is a constant; the other is that the dimensionless coupling function $\delta$ is a constant. We investigate the effect of the interaction on the evolution of the universe, the total lifetime of the universe, and the ratio of the period when the universe is in the coincidence state to its total lifetime. It turns out that the interaction will produce significant deviation from the case without the interaction.

Due to their broad application to different fields of theory and practice, generalized Petersen graphs $GPG(n,s)$ have been extensively investigated. Despite the regularity of generalized Petersen graphs, determining an exact formula for the diameter is still a difficult problem. In their paper, Beenker and Van Lint have proved that if the circulant graph $C_n(1,s)$ has diameter $d$, then $GPG(n,s)$ has diameter at least $d+1$ and at most $d+2$. In this paper, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions so that the diameter of $GPG(n,s)$ is equal to $d+1,$ and sufficient conditions so that the diameter of $GPG(n,s)$ is equal to $d+2.$ Afterwards, we give exact values for the diameter of $GPG(n,s)$ for almost all cases of $n$ and $s.$ Furthermore, we show that there exists an algorithm computing the diameter of generalized Petersen graphs with running time $O$(log$n$).

One of the simplest methods for implementing quantum key distribution over fiber-optic communication is the Bennett-Brassard 1984 protocol with phase encoding (PE-BB84 protocol), in which the sender uses phase modulation over double pulses from a laser and the receiver uses a passive delayed interferometer. Using essentially the same setup and by regarding a train of many pulses as a single block, one can carry out the so-called differential quadrature phase shift (DQPS) protocol, which is a variant of differential phase shift (DPS) protocols. Here we prove the security of the DQPS protocol based on an adaptation of proof techniques for the BB84 protocol, which inherits the advantages arising from the simplicity of the protocol, such as accommodating the use of threshold detectors and simple off-line calibration methods for the light source. We show that the secure key rate of the DQPS protocol in the proof is eight thirds as high as the rate of the PE-BB84 protocol.

We report on the transverse laser cooling of a magnetically guided beam of ultra cold chromium atoms. Radial compression by a tapering of the guide is employed to adiabatically heat the beam. Inside the tapered section heat is extracted from the atom beam by a two-dimensional optical molasses perpendicular to it, resulting in a significant increase of atomic phase space density. A magnetic offset field is applied to prevent optical pumping to untrapped states. Our results demonstrate that by a suitable choice of the magnetic offset field, the cooling beam intensity and detuning, atom losses and longitudinal heating can be avoided. Final temperatures below 65 microkelvin have been achieved, corresponding to an increase of phase space density in the guided beam by more than a factor of 30.

This paper aims to automatically detect COVID-19 patients by analysing the acoustic information embedded in coughs. COVID-19 affects the respiratory system, and, consequently, respiratory-related signals have the potential to contain salient information for the task at hand. We focus on analysing the spectrogram representations of coughing samples with the aim to investigate whether COVID-19 alters the frequency content of these signals. Furthermore, this work also assesses the impact of gender in the automatic detection of COVID-19. To extract deep learnt representations of the spectrograms, we compare the performance of a cough-specific, and a Resnet18 pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Additionally, our approach explores the use of contextual attention, so the model can learn to highlight the most relevant deep learnt features extracted by the CNN. We conduct our experiments on the dataset released for the Cough Sound Track of the DiCOVA 2021 Challenge. The best performance on the test set is obtained using the Resnet18 pre-trained CNN with contextual attention, which scored an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 70.91 at 80% sensitivity.

SBSS: Stacking-Based Semantic Segmentation Framework for Very High Resolution Remote Sensing Image

Semantic segmentation of Very High Resolution (VHR) remote sensing images is a fundamental task for many applications. However, large variations in the scales of objects in those VHR images pose a challenge for performing accurate semantic segmentation. Existing semantic segmentation networks are able to analyse an input image at up to four resizing scales, but this may be insufficient given the diversity of object scales. Therefore, Multi Scale (MS) test-time data augmentation is often used in practice to obtain more accurate segmentation results, which makes equal use of the segmentation results obtained at the different resizing scales. However, it was found in this study that different classes of objects had their preferred resizing scale for more accurate semantic segmentation. Based on this behaviour, a Stacking-Based Semantic Segmentation (SBSS) framework is proposed to improve the segmentation results by learning this behaviour, which contains a learnable Error Correction Module (ECM) for segmentation result fusion and an Error Correction Scheme (ECS) for computational complexity control. Two ECS, i.e., ECS-MS and ECS-SS, are proposed and investigated in this study. The Floating-point operations (Flops) required for ECS-MS and ECS-SS are similar to the commonly used MS test and the Single-Scale (SS) test, respectively. Extensive experiments on four datasets (i.e., Cityscapes, UAVid, LoveDA and Potsdam) show that SBSS is an effective and flexible framework. It achieved higher accuracy than MS when using ECS-MS, and similar accuracy as SS with a quarter of the memory footprint when using ECS-SS.

Effective conservation of maritime environments and wildlife management of endangered species require the implementation of efficient, accurate and scalable solutions for environmental monitoring. Ecoacoustics offers the advantages of non-invasive, long-duration sampling of environmental sounds and has the potential to become the reference tool for biodiversity surveying. However, the analysis and interpretation of acoustic data is a time-consuming process that often requires a great amount of human supervision. This issue might be tackled by exploiting modern techniques for automatic audio signal analysis, which have recently achieved impressive performance thanks to the advances in deep learning research. In this paper we show that convolutional neural networks can indeed significantly outperform traditional automatic methods in a challenging detection task: identification of dolphin whistles from underwater audio recordings. The proposed system can detect signals even in the presence of ambient noise, at the same time consistently reducing the likelihood of producing false positives and false negatives. Our results further support the adoption of artificial intelligence technology to improve the automatic monitoring of marine ecosystems.

Galaxy clusters provide unique laboratories to study astrophysical processes on large scales and are important probes for cosmology. X-ray observations are currently the best means of detecting and characterizing galaxy clusters. In this paper we describe the construction of the REFLEX II galaxy cluster survey based on the southern part of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. REFLEX II extends the REFLEX I survey by a factor of about two down to a flux limit of $1.8 \times 10^{-12}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ (0.1 - 2.4 keV). We describe the determination of the X-ray parameters, the process of X-ray source identification, and the construction of the survey selection function. The REFLEX II cluster sample comprises currently 915 objects. A standard selection function is derived for a lower source count limit of 20 photons in addition to the flux limit. The median redshift of the sample is $z = 0.102$. Internal consistency checks and the comparison to several other galaxy cluster surveys imply that REFLEX II is better than 90\% complete with a contamination less than 10\%.

In this article, we study nonparametric inference for a covariate-adjusted regression function. This parameter captures the average association between a continuous exposure and an outcome after adjusting for other covariates. In particular, under certain causal conditions, this parameter corresponds to the average outcome had all units been assigned to a specific exposure level, known as the causal dose-response curve. We propose a debiased local linear estimator of the covariate-adjusted regression function, and demonstrate that our estimator converges pointwise to a mean-zero normal limit distribution. We use this result to construct asymptotically valid confidence intervals for function values and differences thereof. In addition, we use approximation results for the distribution of the supremum of an empirical process to construct asymptotically valid uniform confidence bands. Our methods do not require undersmoothing, permit the use of data-adaptive estimators of nuisance functions, and our estimator attains the optimal rate of convergence for a twice differentiable function. We illustrate the practical performance of our estimator using numerical studies and an analysis of the effect of air pollution exposure on cardiovascular mortality.

The clustering of local extrema will be exploited to examine Gaussianity, asymmetry, and the footprint of the cosmic-string network on the CMB observed by Planck. The number density of local extrema ($n_{\rm pk}$ for peak and $n_{\rm tr}$ for trough) and sharp clipping ($n_{\rm pix}$) statistics support the Gaussianity hypothesis for all component separations. However, the pixel at the threshold reveals a more consistent treatment with respect to end-to-end simulations. A very tiny deviation from associated simulations in the context of trough density, in the threshold range $\theta\in [-2-0]$ for NILC and CR component separations, are detected. The unweighted two-point correlation function, of the local extrema, illustrates good consistency between different component separations and corresponding Gaussian simulations for almost all available thresholds. However, for high thresholds, a small deficit in the clustering of peaks is observed with respect to the Planck fiducial $\Lambda$CDM model. To put a significant constraint on the amplitude of the mass function based on the value of $\Psi$ around the Doppler peak ($\theta\approx 70-75$ arcmin), we should consider $\vartheta\lesssim 0.0$. The scale-independent bias factors for the peak above a threshold for large separation angle and high threshold level are in agreement with the value expected for a pure Gaussian CMB. Applying the $n_{\rm pk}$, $n_{\rm tr}$, $\Psi_{\rm pk-pk}$ and $\Psi_{\rm tr-tr}$ measures on the tessellated CMB map with patches of $7.5^2$ deg$^2$ size prove statistical isotropy in the Planck maps. The peak clustering analysis puts the upper bound on the cosmic-string tension, $G\mu^{(\rm up)} \lesssim 5.59\times 10^{-7}$, in SMICA.

This paper revisits the problem of the string decay contribution to the axion cosmological energy density. We show that this contribution is proportional to the average relative increase when axion strings decay of a certain quantity $N_{\rm ax}$ which we define. We carry out numerical simulations of the evolution and decay of circular and non-circular string loops, of bent strings with ends held fixed, and of vortex-antivortex pairs in two dimensions. In the case of string loops and of vortex-antivortex pairs, $N_{\rm ax}$ decreases by approximately 20%. In the case of bent strings, $N_{\rm ax}$ remains constant or increases slightly. Our results imply that the string decay contribution to the axion energy density is of the same order of magnitude as the well-understood contribution from vacuum realignment.

The range to which the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) can observe astrophysical systems varies over time, limited by noise in the instruments and their environments. Identifying and removing the sources of noise that limit LIGO's range enables higher signal-to-noise observations and increases the number of observations. The LIGO observatories are continuously monitored by hundreds of thousands of auxiliary channels that may contain information about these noise sources. This paper describes an algorithm that uses linear regression, namely lasso (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression, to analyze all of these channels and identify a small subset of them that can be used to reconstruct variations in LIGO's astrophysical range. Exemplary results of the application of this method to three different periods of LIGO Livingston data are presented, along with computational performance and current limitations.

We have developed an interactive program which shows the solar energetic particle (SEP) intensity-time profile as observed by SOHO/ERNE, simultaneously with the associated coronal mass ejection in optical imaging movies taken by LASCO coronagraph, soft X-ray by YOHKOH, ultraviolet by EIT, DH radio emission by WAVE/Wind, and the H$\alpha$ location for the solar flare and spectral radio emission from the journal of geophysical data. The whole set of data will provide increased scientific knowledge on the solar energetic particle events and the solar phenomena associated with them, because in this program one can see easily the temporal associations of each phenomenon during the evolution of the particle intensity. The (SEP) intensity-time profile will give a clear view to detect the velocity dispersion in the events, if it exists. The ERNE data are commented in order to follow of phenomena associated with changes of the intensity-time profiles. We introduce this set of data as an index for the ERNE/SOHO solar energetic particle events. The interactive program is applied for statistical, correlative study of SEP events observed on board SOHO.

By means of continuous space Monte Carlo simulation we study conformational structures formed by star and comb heteropolymers during kinetics of folding from the coil to the globule, as well as the corresponding equilibrium states on going from the good to the poor solution. Particular examples of combs with hydrophobic backbone and hydrophilic side-groups (and vice versa), as well as stars with flexible and semi-stiff arms are studied. It is interesting to note that star-like conformations naturally appear for a comb polymer with a strongly hydrophobic backbone. We emphasise the crucial difference in the spatial distribution of hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers within the globular states for the above mentioned two types of combs. In case of stars, the non-equilibrium states during kinetics of the coil-to-globule transition correspond to formation of localised pearls within flexible arms, whereas semi-stiff arms prefer to join with each other remaining essentially extended. These studies present natural extension of our previous works on the equilibrium and kinetic properties of linear and ring heteropolymers based on the Gaussian self-consistent method and lattice Monte Carlo technique. However, in studying polymers with more nontrivial topology continuous space simulation has some essential advantages.

Let G be a reductive algebraic group and V a G-module. We consider the question of when (GL(V), rho(G)) is a reductive pair of algebraic groups, where rho is the representation afforded by V. We first make some observations about general G and V, then specialise to the group SL2(K) with K algebraically closed of positive characteristic p. For this group we provide complete answers for the classes of simple and Weyl modules, the behaviour being determined by the base p expansion of the highest weight of the module. We conclude by illustrating some of the results from the first section with examples for the group SL3(K).

Nicod's criterion states that observing a black raven is evidence for the hypothesis H that all ravens are black. We show that Solomonoff induction does not satisfy Nicod's criterion: there are time steps in which observing black ravens decreases the belief in H. Moreover, while observing any computable infinite string compatible with H, the belief in H decreases infinitely often when using the unnormalized Solomonoff prior, but only finitely often when using the normalized Solomonoff prior. We argue that the fault is not with Solomonoff induction; instead we should reject Nicod's criterion.

Neural network models have recently received heated research attention in the natural language processing community. Compared with traditional models with discrete features, neural models have two main advantages. First, they take low-dimensional, real-valued embedding vectors as inputs, which can be trained over large raw data, thereby addressing the issue of feature sparsity in discrete models. Second, deep neural networks can be used to automatically combine input features, and including non-local features that capture semantic patterns that cannot be expressed using discrete indicator features. As a result, neural network models have achieved competitive accuracies compared with the best discrete models for a range of NLP tasks. On the other hand, manual feature templates have been carefully investigated for most NLP tasks over decades and typically cover the most useful indicator pattern for solving the problems. Such information can be complementary the features automatically induced from neural networks, and therefore combining discrete and neural features can potentially lead to better accuracy compared with models that leverage discrete or neural features only. In this paper, we systematically investigate the effect of discrete and neural feature combination for a range of fundamental NLP tasks based on sequence labeling, including word segmentation, POS tagging and named entity recognition for Chinese and English, respectively. Our results on standard benchmarks show that state-of-the-art neural models can give accuracies comparable to the best discrete models in the literature for most tasks and combing discrete and neural features unanimously yield better results.

We derive commensurate scale relations which relate perturbatively calculable QCD observables to each other, including the annihilation ratio, the heavy quark potential, tau decay, and radiative corrections to structure function sum rules. The ratio of scales $Q_A/Q_B$ is unique at leading order and guarantees that the observables A and B pass through new quark thresholds at the same physical scale. In higher orders a different renormalization scale $Q^{n*}$ is assigned for each order n in the perturbative series such that the coefficients of the series are identical to that of a conformally invariant theory. QCD can thus be tested in a new and precise way by checking that the effective charges of observables track both in their relative normalization and in their commensurate scale dependence. The commensurate scale relations which relate the radiative corrections to the annihilation ratio to the radiative corrections for the Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith sum rules provides the generalization of the Crewther relation to non-conformal gauge theory.

We estimate the rapidity distributions and cross sections for the charm and bottom production considering three phenomenological models for the dipole-proton scattering amplitude that are able to describe the $ep$ HERA data. Our results indicate that a future experimental analysis of this process is feasible, which will allow us to improve our understanding of the QCD dynamics.

In particular, we practically answer the question of optimality of ERM under bounded noise for general VC classes.

In this paper we propose a new method to learn the underlying acyclic mixed graph of a linear non-Gaussian structural equation model given observational data. We build on an algorithm proposed by Wang and Drton, and we show that one can augment the hidden variable structure of the recovered model by learning {\em multidirected edges} rather than only directed and bidirected ones. Multidirected edges appear when more than two of the observed variables have a hidden common cause. We detect the presence of such hidden causes by looking at higher order cumulants and exploiting the multi-trek rule. Our method recovers the correct structure when the underlying graph is a bow-free acyclic mixed graph with potential multi-directed edges.

We discuss the vertex function of two vector and one axial-vector operators in the soft-wall holographic model of QCD. When one of the two vector currents represents an on-shell soft photon, such a vertex is described by two structure functions $w_L$ and $w_T$, which are usually calculated through triangular loop diagrams. We evaluate these functions in the soft-wall model of holographic QCD (HQCD) and compare the outcome to the QCD findings.

We present factorization theorems for two exclusive heavy-quarkonium production processes: production of two quarkonia in e^+e^- annihilation and production of a quarkonium and a light meson in B-meson decays. We describe the general proofs of factorization and supplement them with explicit one-loop analyses, which illustrate some of the features of the soft-gluon cancellations. We find that violations of factorization are generally suppressed relative to the factorized contributions by a factor v^2m_c/Q for each S-wave charmonium and a factor m_c/Q for each L-wave charmonium with L>0. Here, v is the velocity of the heavy quark or antiquark in the quarkonium rest frame, Q=sqrt{s} for e^+e^- annihilation, Q=m_B for B-meson decays, sqrt{s} is the e^+e^- center-of-momentum energy, m_c is the charm-quark mass, and m_B is the B-meson mass. There are modifications to the suppression factors if quantum-number restrictions apply for the specific process.

Towards Disentangling Latent Space for Unsupervised Semantic Face Editing

Facial attributes in StyleGAN generated images are entangled in the latent space which makes it very difficult to independently control a specific attribute without affecting the others. Supervised attribute editing requires annotated training data which is difficult to obtain and limits the editable attributes to those with labels. Therefore, unsupervised attribute editing in an disentangled latent space is key to performing neat and versatile semantic face editing. In this paper, we present a new technique termed Structure-Texture Independent Architecture with Weight Decomposition and Orthogonal Regularization (STIA-WO) to disentangle the latent space for unsupervised semantic face editing. By applying STIA-WO to GAN, we have developed a StyleGAN termed STGAN-WO which performs weight decomposition through utilizing the style vector to construct a fully controllable weight matrix to regulate image synthesis, and employs orthogonal regularization to ensure each entry of the style vector only controls one independent feature matrix. To further disentangle the facial attributes, STGAN-WO introduces a structure-texture independent architecture which utilizes two independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) latent vectors to control the synthesis of the texture and structure components in a disentangled way. Unsupervised semantic editing is achieved by moving the latent code in the coarse layers along its orthogonal directions to change texture related attributes or changing the latent code in the fine layers to manipulate structure related ones. We present experimental results which show that our new STGAN-WO can achieve better attribute editing than state of the art methods.

High-Time-Resolution Photometry of AR Scorpii: Confirmation of the White Dwarf's Spin-Down

The unique binary AR Scorpii consists of an asynchronously rotating, magnetized white dwarf (WD) that interacts with its red-dwarf companion to produce a large-amplitude, highly coherent pulsation every 1.97 minutes. Over the course of two years, we obtained thirty-nine hours of time-resolved, optical photometry of AR Sco at a typical cadence of 5 seconds to study this pulsation. We find that it undergoes significant changes across the binary orbital period and that its amplitude, phase, and waveform all vary as a function of orbital phase. We show that these variations can be explained by constructive and destructive interference between two periodic, double-peaked signals: the spin-orbit beat pulse, and a weaker WD spin pulse. Modelling of the light curve indicates that in the optical, the amplitude of the primary spin pulse is 50% of the primary beat amplitude, while the secondary maxima of the beat and spin pulses have similar amplitudes. Finally, we use our timings of the beat pulses to confirm the presence of the disputed spin-down of the WD. We measure a beat-frequency derivative of -5.14(32) x 10^-17 Hz/s and show that this is attributable to the spin-down of the WD. This value is approximately twice as large as the estimate from Marsh et al. (2016) but is nevertheless consistent with the constraints established in Potter & Buckley (2018). Our precise measurement of the spin-down rate confirms that the decaying rotational energy of the magnetized white dwarf is sufficient to power the excess electromagnetic radiation emitted by the binary.

This paper, by comparing three potential energy trading systems, studies the feasibility of integrating a community energy storage (CES) device with consumer-owned photovoltaic (PV) systems for demand-side management of a residential neighborhood area network. We consider a fully-competitive CES operator in a non-cooperative Stackelberg game, a benevolent CES operator that has socially favorable regulations with competitive users, and a centralized cooperative CES operator that minimizes the total community energy cost. The former two game-theoretic systems consider that the CES operator first maximizes their revenue by setting a price signal and trading energy with the grid. Then the users with PV panels play a non-cooperative repeated game following the actions of the CES operator to trade energy with the CES device and the grid to minimize energy costs. The centralized CES operator cooperates with the users to minimize the total community energy cost without appropriate incentives. The non-cooperative Stackelberg game with the fully-competitive CES operator has a unique Stackelberg equilibrium at which the CES operator maximizes revenue and users obtain unique Pareto-optimal Nash equilibrium CES energy trading strategies. Extensive simulations show that the fully-competitive CES model gives the best trade-off of operating environment between the CES operator and the users.

We propose quantum circuits to test interferometric complementarity using symmetric two-way interferometers coupled to a which-path detector. First, we consider the two-qubit setup in which the controlled transfer of path information to the detector subsystem depletes interference on the probed subspace, testing the visibility-distinguishability trade-off via minimum-error state discrimination measurements. Next, we consider the quantum eraser setup, in which reading out path information in the right basis recovers an interference pattern. These experiments are then carried out in an IBM superconducting transmon processor. A detailed analysis of the results is provided. Despite finding good agreement with theory at a coarse level, we also identify small but persistent systematic deviations preventing the observation of full particle-like and wave-like statistics. We understand them by carefully modeling two-qubit gates, showing that even small coherent errors in their implementation preclude the observation of Bohr's strong formulation of complementarity.

The Horava theory depends on several coupling constants. The kinetic term of its Lagrangian depends on one dimensionless coupling constant lambda. For the particular value lambda = 1/3 the kinetic term becomes conformal invariant, although the full Lagrangian does not have this symmetry. For any value of lambda the nonprojectable version of the theory has second-class constraints which play a central role in the process of quantization. Here we study the complete nonprojectable theory, including the Blas-Pujolas-Sibiryakov interacting terms, at the kinetic-conformal point lambda = 1/3. The generic counting of degrees of freedom indicates that this theory propagates the same physical degrees of freedom of General Relativity. We analyze this point rigorously taking into account all the z=1,2,3 terms that contribute to the action describing quadratic perturbations around the Minkowski spacetime. We show that the constraints of the theory and equations determining the Lagrange multipliers are strongly elliptic partial differential equations, an essential condition for a constrained phase-space structure in field theory. We show how their solutions lead to the two independent tensorial physical modes propagated by the theory. We also obtain the reduced Hamiltonian. These arguments strengthen the consistency of the theory. We find the restrictions on the space of coupling constants to ensure the positiveness of the reduced Hamiltonian. We obtain the propagator of the physical modes, showing that there are not ghosts and that the propagator effectively acquires the z=3 scaling for all physical degrees of freedom at the high energy regime. By evaluating the superficial degree of divergence, taking into account the second-class constraints, we show that the theory is power-counting renormalizable. ...

We present an analysis of the debris disc around the nearby K2 V star HIP 17439. In the context of the Herschel DUNES key programme the disc was observed and spatially resolved in the far-IR with the Herschel PACS and SPIRE instruments. In a first model, Ertel et al. (2014) assumed the size and radial distribution of the circumstellar dust to be independent power laws. There, by exploring a very broad range of possible model parameters several scenarios capable of explaining the observations were suggested. In this paper, we perform a follow-up in-depth collisional modelling of these scenarios trying to further distinguish between them. In our models we consider collisions, direct radiation pressure, and drag forces, i.e. the actual physical processes operating in debris discs. We find that all scenarios discussed in Ertel et al. are physically sensible and can reproduce the observed SED along with the PACS surface brightness profiles reasonably well. In one model, the dust is produced beyond 120au in a narrow planetesimal belt and is transported inwards by Poynting-Robertson and stellar wind drag. A good agreement with the observed radial profiles would require stellar winds by about an order of magnitude stronger than the solar value, which is not supported, although not ruled out, by observations. Another model consists of two spatially separated planetesimal belts, a warm inner and a cold outer one. This scenario would probably imply the presence of planets clearing the gap between the two components. Finally, we show qualitatively that the observations can be explained by assuming the dust is produced in a single, but broad planetesimal disc with a surface density of solids rising outwards, as expected for an extended disc that experiences a natural inside-out collisional depletion. Prospects of discriminating between the competing scenarios by future observations are discussed.

Major galaxy mergers can trigger nuclear activities and are responsible for high-luminosity quasi-stellar objects /active galactic nuclei (QSOs/AGNs). In certain circumstances, such mergers may cause dual active galactic nuclei (dAGN) phenomenon. This study investigates dAGN triggering and evolution of massive black holes (MBHs) during the merging processes using hydrodynamic code GADGET-2 to simulate several gas-rich major mergers at redshift $z=2$ and $3$, respectively. Results reveal that gas-rich major mergers can trigger significant nuclear activities after the second and third pericentric passages and the formation of dAGN with significant time duration ($\sim 10 - 390$ Myr). During the merging processes, galactic bulge evolves with time because of the rapid star formation in each (or both) galactic centers and initial mixing of stars in galactic disks due to violent relaxation. MBHs grow substantially due to accretion and finally merge into a bigger black hole. The growth of galactic bulges and corresponding increases of its velocity dispersions predate the growth of MBHs in the dAGN stages. The MBHs in these stages deviate below the relation between MBH mass and bulge mass (or velocity dispersion), and they revert to the relation after the final mergers due to the significant accretion that occurs mostly at a separation less than a few kpc. Then, the two MBHs merge with each other.

Temporal and spectral characteristics of X-ray emission from 60 flares of intensity $\ge$C class observed by Solar X-ray Spectrometer (SOXS) during 2003-2011 are presented. We analyse the X-ray emission observed in four and three energy bands by the Si and CZT detectors, respectively. The number of peaks in the intensity profile of the flares varies between 1 and 3. We find moderate correlation (R$\simeq$0.2) between the rise time and the peak flux of the first peak of the flare irrespective to energy band, which is indicative of its energy-independent nature. Moreover, magnetic field complexity of the flaring region is found to be anti-correlated (R=0.61) with the rise time of the flares while positively correlated (R=0.28) with the peak flux of the flare. The time delay between the peak of the X-ray emission in a given energy band and that in the 25-30 keV decreases with increasing energy suggesting conduction cooling to be dominant in the lower energies. Analysis of 340 spectra from 14 flares reveals that the peak of Differential Emission Measure (DEM) evolution delays by 60-360 s relative to that of the temperature, and this time delay is inversely proportional to the peak flux of the flare. We conclude that temporal and intensity characteristics of flares are energy dependent as well as magnetic field configuration of the active region.

We introduce a new diametral notion for points of the unit sphere of Banach spaces, that naturally complements the notion of Delta-points, but is weaker than the notion of Daugavet points. We prove that this notion can be used to provide a new geometric characterization of the Daugavet property, as well as to recover -- and even to provide new -- results about Daugavet points in various contexts such as absolute sums of Banach spaces or projective tensor products. Finally, we show that this notion leads to powerful new ideas for renorming questions, and that those ideas can be combined with previous constructions from the literature in order to renorm every infinite dimensional Banach space with an unconditional Schauder basis to have a Daugavet point.

In some applications, one is interested in reconstructing a function $f$ from its Fourier series coefficients. The problem is that the Fourier series is slowly convergent if the function is non-periodic, or is non-smooth. In this paper, we suggest a method for deriving high order approximation to $f$ using a Pad\'e-like method. Namely, by fitting some Fourier coefficients of the approximant to the given Fourier coefficients of $f$. Given the Fourier series coefficients of a function on a rectangular domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$, assuming the function is piecewise smooth, we approximate the function by piecewise high order spline functions. First, the singularity structure of the function is identified. For example in the 2-D case, we find high accuracy approximation to the curves separating between smooth segments of $f$. Secondly, simultaneously we find the approximations of all the different segments of $f$. We start by developing and demonstrating a high accuracy algorithm for the 1-D case, and we use this algorithm to step up to the multidimensional case.

In the framework of nuclear energy density functional (EDF) methods, many nuclear phenomena are related to the deformation of intrinsic states. Their accurate modeling relies on the correct description of the change of nuclear binding energy with deformation. The two most important contributions to the deformation energy have their origin in shell effects that are correlated to the spectrum of single-particle states, and the deformability of nuclear matter, that can be characterized by a model-dependent surface energy coefficient a_{surf}. With the goal of improving the global performance of nuclear EDFs through fine-tuning of their deformation properties, the purpose of this study is threefold. First, to analyze the impact of systematic variations of a_{surf} on properties of nuclei; second, to identify observables that can be safely used to narrow down the range of appropriate values of a_{surf} to be targeted in future parameter fits; third, to analyze the interdependence of a_{surf} with other properties of a nuclear EDF. Results for a large variety of relevant observables of deformed nuclei obtained from self-consistent mean-field calculations with a set of purpose-built SLy5sX parameterizations of the Skyrme EDF are correlated with the value of a_{surf}. The three main conclusions are that there is an evident preference for a comparatively low value of a_{surf}, as expected from the performance of existing parameterizations; that the isospin dependence of the surface energy also needs further finetuning in order to describe trends across the chart of nuclei; and that a satisfying simultaneous description of fission barriers and superdeformed states requires a better description of the single-particle spectra.

Learning to Generate All Feasible Actions

Several machine learning (ML) applications are characterized by searching for an optimal solution to a complex task. The search space for this optimal solution is often very large, so large in fact that this optimal solution is often not computable. Part of the problem is that many candidate solutions found via ML are actually infeasible and have to be discarded. Restricting the search space to only the feasible solution candidates simplifies finding an optimal solution for the tasks. Further, the set of feasible solutions could be re-used in multiple problems characterized by different tasks. In particular, we observe that complex tasks can be decomposed into subtasks and corresponding skills. We propose to learn a reusable and transferable skill by training an actor to generate all feasible actions. The trained actor can then propose feasible actions, among which an optimal one can be chosen according to a specific task. The actor is trained by interpreting the feasibility of each action as a target distribution. The training procedure minimizes a divergence of the actor's output distribution to this target. We derive the general optimization target for arbitrary f-divergences using a combination of kernel density estimates, resampling, and importance sampling. We further utilize an auxiliary critic to reduce the interactions with the environment. A preliminary comparison to related strategies shows that our approach learns to visit all the modes in the feasible action space, demonstrating the framework's potential for learning skills that can be used in various downstream tasks.

Molecular spiders are synthetic bio-molecular systems which have "legs" made of short single-stranded segments of DNA. Spiders move on a surface covered with single-stranded DNA segments complementary to legs. Different mappings are established between various models of spiders and simple exclusion processes. For spiders with simple gait and varying number of legs we compute the diffusion coefficient; when the hopping is biased we also compute their velocity.

We introduce the notion of a {\it semi-retraction}. Given two structures $\A$ and $\B$, $\A$ is a semi-retraction of $\B$ if there exist quantifier-free type respecting maps $f: \B \raw \A$ and $g: \A \raw \B$ such that $f \circ g$ is an embedding. We say that a structure has the Ramsey property if its age does. Given two locally finite ordered structures $\A$ and $\B$, if $\A$ is a semi-retraction of $\B$ and $\B$ has the Ramsey property, then $\A$ also has the Ramsey property. We introduce notation for what we call semi-direct product structures, after the group construction known to preserve the Ramsey property.~\cite{kpt05} We introduce the notion of a color-homogenizing map, and use this notion to give a finitary argument that the semi-direct product structure of ordered relational structures with the Ramsey property must also have the Ramsey property. Finally, we characterize NIP theories using a generalized indiscernible sequence indexed by a semi-direct product structure.

The Biot-Savart law is a well-known and powerful theoretical tool used to calculate magnetic fields due to currents in magnetostatics. We extend the range of applicability and the formal structure of the Biot-Savart law to electrostatics by deriving a Biot-Savart-like law suitable for calculating electric fields. We show that, under certain circumstances, the traditional Dirichlet problem can be mapped onto a much simpler Biot-Savart-like problem. We find an integral expression for the electric field due to an arbitrarily shaped, planar region kept at a fixed electric potential, in an otherwise grounded plane. As a by-product we present a very simple formula to compute the field produced in the plane defined by such a region. We illustrate the usefulness of our approach by calculating the electric field produced by planar regions of a few nontrivial shapes.

We report an experimental and theoretical study of the low-temperature specific heat $C$ and magnetic susceptibility $\chi$ of the layered anisotropic triangular-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets Cs$_2$CuCl$_{4-x}$Br$_x$ with $x$ = 0, 1, 2, and 4. We find that the ratio $J'/J$ of the exchange couplings ranges from 0.32 to $\approx 0.78$, implying a change (crossover or quantum phase transition) in the materials' magnetic properties from one-dimensional (1D) behavior for $J'/J < 0.6$ to two-dimensional (2D) behavior for $J'/J \approx 0.78$ behavior. For $J'/J < 0.6$, realized for $x$ = 0, 1, and 4, we find a magnetic contribution to the low-temperature specific heat, $C_{\rm m} \propto T$, consistent with spinon excitations in 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets. Remarkably, for $x$ = 2, where $J'/J \approx 0.78$ implies a 2D magnatic character, we also observe $C_{\rm m} \propto T$. This finding, which contrasts the prediction of $C_{\rm m} \propto T^2$ made by standard spin-wave theories, shows that Fermi-like statistics also plays a significant role for the magnetic excitations in frustrated spin-1/2 2D antiferromagnets.

The Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem is one of the most fundamental tools to capture the limit behaviors of orbits of flows. It was generalized and was applied to various phenomena in dynamical systems, differential equations, foliations, group actions, translation lines, and semi-dynamical systems. On the other hand, though the no-slip boundary condition is a fundamental condition in differential equations and appears in various fluid phenomena and since Lakes of Wada attractors naturally occur in discrete and continuous real dynamical systems and complex dynamics, no generalizations of the Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem can be applied to any differential equations with no-slip boundary condition on surfaces with boundary and flows with Lakes of Wada attractors. To analyze them, we generalize the Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem into one for flows with arbitrarily many singular points on possibly non-compact surfaces by using methods of foliation theory and general topology. Moreover, the generalization implies topological characterizations of recurrence, which are generalizations of the Ma{\v \i}er's description of recurrence. In addition, we construct a blow-up operation that makes $\omega$-limit sets not arcwise-connected.

For Kohn variational calculations on low energy positron hydrogen molecule elastic scattering, we prove that the phase shift approximation obtained using the complex Kohn method is precisely equal to a value which can be obtained immediately via the real-generalized Kohn method. Our treatment is sufficiently general to be applied directly to arbitrary potential scattering or single open channel scattering problems, with exchange if required. In the course of our analysis, we develop a framework formally to describe the anomalous behaviour of our generalized Kohn calculations in the regions of the well known Schwartz singularities. This framework also explains the mathematical origin of the anomaly-free singularities we reported in a previous article. Moreover, we demonstrate a novelty, that explicit solutions of the Kohn equations are not required in order to calculate optimal phase shift approximations. We relate our rigorous framework to earlier descriptions of the Kohn-type methods.

While humans are highly capable of recovering from external disturbances and uncertainties that result in large tracking errors, humanoid robots have yet to reliably mimic this level of robustness. Essential to this is the ability to combine traditional "ankle strategy" balancing with step timing and location adjustment techniques. In doing so, the robot is able to step quickly to the necessary location to continue walking. In this work, we present both a new swing speed up algorithm to adjust the step timing, allowing the robot to set the foot down more quickly to recover from errors in the direction of the current capture point dynamics, and a new algorithm to adjust the desired footstep, expanding the base of support to utilize the center of pressure (CoP)-based ankle strategy for balance. We then utilize the desired centroidal moment pivot (CMP) to calculate the momentum rate of change for our inverse-dynamics based whole-body controller. We present simulation and experimental results using this work, and discuss performance limitations and potential improvements.

(abridged) We present a model to predict the clustering properties of X-ray clusters in flux-limited surveys. Our technique correctly accounts for past light-cone effects on the observed clustering and follows the non-linear evolution in redshift of the underlying DM correlation function and cluster bias factor. The conversion of the limiting flux of a survey into the corresponding minimum mass of the hosting DM haloes is obtained by using theoretical and empirical relations between mass, temperature and X-ray luminosity of clusters. Finally, our model is calibrated to reproduce the observed cluster counts adopting a temperature-luminosity relation moderately evolving with redshift. We apply our technique to three existing catalogues: BCS, XBACs and REFLEX samples. Moreover, we consider an example of possible future space missions with fainter limiting flux. In general, we find that the amplitude of the spatial correlation function is a decreasing function of the limiting flux and that the EdS models always give smaller correlation amplitudes than open or flat models with low matter density parameter. In the case of XBACs, the comparison with previous estimates of the observational spatial correlation shows that only the predictions of models with Omega_0m=0.3 are in good agreement with the data, while the EdS models have too low a correlation strength. Finally, we use our technique to discuss the best strategy for future surveys. Our results show that the choice of a wide area catalogue, even with a brighter limiting flux, is preferable to a deeper, but with smaller area, survey.

We surveyed thirteen very low mass (VLM; M < 0.2 M_sun) objects in the Taurus star-forming region using near-infrared diffraction-limited imaging techniques on the W.M. Keck I 10 m telescope. Of these thirteen, five were found to be binary, with separations ranging from 0.04" to 0.6" and flux ratios from 1.4 to 3.7. In all cases, the companions are likely to be physically associated with the primaries (probability > 4-sigma). Using the theoretical models of Baraffe et al. (1998), we find that all five new companions, as well as one of the primaries, are likely brown dwarfs. The discovery of these systems therefore increases the total number of known, young VLM binaries by ~50%. These new systems, along with other young VLM binaries from the literature, have properties that differ significantly from older field VLM binaries in that the young systems have wider separations and lower mass ratios, supporting the idea that VLM binaries undergo significant dynamical evolution ~5 - 10 Myr after their formation. The range of separations of these binaries, four of which are over 30 AU, argues against the ejection scenario of brown dwarf formation. While several of the young, VLM binaries discovered in this study have lower binding energies than the previously suggested minimum for VLM binaries, the apparent minimum is still significantly higher than that found among higher mass binaries. We suggest that this discrepancy may be due to the small mass of a VLM binary relative to the average perturbing star, leading to more substantial changes in their binding energy over time.

Fabry-P\'erot interferometers (FPIs) have become very popular in solar observations because they offer a balance between cadence, spatial resolution, and spectral resolution through a careful design of the spectral sampling scheme according to the observational requirements of a given target. However, an efficient balance requires knowledge of the expected target conditions, the properties of the chosen spectral line, and the instrumental characteristics. Our aim is to find a method that allows finding the optimal spectral sampling of FPI observations in a given spectral region. In this study, we propose a technique based on a sequential selection approach where a neural network is used to predict the spectrum (or physical quantities, if the model is known) from the information at a few points. Only those points that contain relevant information and improve the model prediction are included in the sampling scheme. The method adapts the separation of the points according to the spectral resolution of the instrument, the typical broadening of the spectral shape, and the typical Doppler velocities. The experiments using the CaII 8542 A line show that the resulting wavelength scheme naturally places more points in the core than in the wings, consistent with the sensitivity of the spectral line at each wavelength interval. The method can also be used as an accurate interpolator, to improve the inference of the magnetic field when using the weak-field approximation. Overall, this method offers an objective approach for designing new instrumentation or observing proposals with customized configurations for specific targets. This is particularly relevant when studying highly dynamic events in the solar atmosphere with a cadence that preserves spectral coherence without sacrificing much information.

Code review is a critical step in the software development life cycle, which assesses and boosts the code's effectiveness and correctness, pinpoints security issues, and raises its quality by adhering to best practices. Due to the increased need for personal data protection motivated by legislation, code reviewers need to understand where personal data is located in software systems and how it is handled. Although most recent work on code review focuses on security vulnerabilities, privacy-related techniques are not easy for code reviewers to implement, making their inclusion in the code review process challenging. In this paper, we present ongoing work on a new approach to identifying personal data processing, enabling developers and code reviewers in drafting privacy analyses and complying with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We study the refraction effect of electronic wave in hole-doped lateral heterojunctions of metallic and semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers. This effect is theoretically investigated in 2$H$-type MoSe$_2$-NbS$_2$ and WSe$_2$-NbS$_2$ junctions by combining the first-principles calculation and the lattice Green's function method. We show that the electronic waves change the direction of motion at the interface and collimate the velocity along two different directions depending on the spin. We find that the transmission probability increases with the charge density and that the direction of refracted electron beams is close to $\pm30^\circ$ with respect to the perpendicular axis to the interface. The metallic transition-metal dichalcogenide is essential for the refraction effect because of the strong trigonal-warping effect, the large Fermi surface, and the Zeeman-type spin-orbit coupling. The refraction effect enables to generate the spin-polarized electronic current by using a simple fabrication of transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers.

Ions transiting biomembranes might pass readily from water through ion-specific membrane proteins if those protein channels provide environments similar to the aqueous solution hydration environment. Indeed, bulk aqueous solution is an important reference condition for the ion permeation process. Assessment of this hydration mimicry view depends on understanding the hydration structure and free energies of metal ions in water to provide a comparison for the membrane channel environment. To refine these considerations, we review local hydration structures of ions in bulk water, and the molecular quasi-chemical theory that provides hydration free energies. In that process, we note some current views of ion-binding to membrane channels and suggest new physical-chemical calculations and experiments that might further clarify the hydration mimicry view.

We have incorporated the latest release of the Padova models into the evolutionary synthesis code Starburst99. The Padova tracks were extended to include the full asymptotic giant branch (AGB) evolution until the final thermal pulse over the mass range 0.9 to 5 solar mass. With this addition, Starburst99 accounts for all stellar phases that contribute to the integrated light of a stellar population with arbitrary age from the extreme ultraviolet to the near-infrared. AGB stars are important for ages between 0.1 and 2 Gyr, with their contribution increasing at longer wavelengths. We investigate similarities and differences between the model predictions by the Geneva and the Padova tracks. The differences are particularly pronounced at ages > 1 Gyr, when incompleteness sets in for the Geneva models. We also perform detailed comparisons with the predictions of other major synthesis codes and found excellent agreement. Our synthesized optical colors are compared to observations of old, intermediate-age, and young populations. Excellent agreement is found for the old globular cluster system of NGC 5128 and for old and intermediate-age clusters in NGC 4038/39. In contrast, the models fail for red supergiant dominated populations with sub-solar abundances. This failure can be traced back to incorrect red supergiant parameters in the stellar evolutionary tracks. Our models and the synthesis code are publicly available as version 5.0 of Starburst99 at http://www.stsci.edu/science/starburst99/.

Recently many new classes of integrable systems in n dimensions occurring in classical and quantum mechanics have been shown to admit a functionally independent set of 2n-1 symmetries polynomial in the canonical momenta, so that they are in fact superintegrable. These newly discovered systems are all separable in some coordinate system and, typically, they depend on one or more parameters in such a way that the system is superintegrable exactly when some of the parameters are rational numbers. Most of the constructions to date are for n=2 but cases where n>2 are multiplying rapidly. In this article we organize a large class of such systems, many new, and emphasize the underlying mechanisms which enable this phenomena to occur and to prove superintegrability. In addition to proofs of classical superintegrability we show that the 2D caged anisotropic oscillator and a Stackel transformed version on the 2-sheet hyperboloid are quantum superintegrable for all rational relative frequencies, and that a deformed 2D Kepler-Coulomb system is quantum superintegrable for all rational values of a parameter k in the potential.

We introduce a notion of localization for dyadic functions, i.e. functions defined on the Cantor group. Localization is characterized by functional $UC_d$ similar to the Heisenberg uncertainty constant used for real-line functions. We are looking for dyadic analogs of quantitative uncertainty principles. To justify definition we use some test functions including dyadic scaling and wavelet functions.

The package fhi98PP allows one to generate norm-conserving pseudopotentials adapted to density-functional theory total-energy calculations for a multitude of elements throughout the periodic table, including first-row and transition metal elements. The package also facilitates a first assessment of the pseudopotentials' transferability, either in semilocal or fully separable form, by means of simple tests carried out for the free atom. Various parameterizations of the local-density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation are implemented.

Three-dimensional stellar modeling has enabled us to identify a deep-mixing mechanism that must operate in all low mass giants. This mixing process is not optional, and is driven by a molecular weight inversion created by the 3He(3He,2p)4He reaction. In this paper we characterize the behavior of this mixing, and study its impact on the envelope abundances. It not only eliminates the problem of 3He overproduction, reconciling stellar and big bang nucleosynthesis with observations, but solves the discrepancy between observed and calculated CNO isotope ratios in low mass giants, a problem of more than 3 decades' standing. This mixing mechanism, which we call `$\delta\mu$-mixing', operates rapidly (relative to the nuclear timescale of overall evolution, ~ 10^8 yrs) once the hydrogen burning shell approaches the material homogenized by the surface convection zone. In agreement with observations, Pop I stars between 0.8 and 2.0$\Msun$ develop 12C/13C ratios of 14.5 +/- 1.5, while Pop II stars process the carbon to ratios of 4.0 +/- 0.5. In stars less than 1.25$\Msun$, this mechanism also destroys 90% to 95% of the 3He produced on the main sequence.

We present a Reverse Reinforcement Learning (Reverse RL) approach for representing retrospective knowledge. General Value Functions (GVFs) have enjoyed great success in representing predictive knowledge, i.e., answering questions about possible future outcomes such as "how much fuel will be consumed in expectation if we drive from A to B?". GVFs, however, cannot answer questions like "how much fuel do we expect a car to have given it is at B at time $t$?". To answer this question, we need to know when that car had a full tank and how that car came to B. Since such questions emphasize the influence of possible past events on the present, we refer to their answers as retrospective knowledge. In this paper, we show how to represent retrospective knowledge with Reverse GVFs, which are trained via Reverse RL. We demonstrate empirically the utility of Reverse GVFs in both representation learning and anomaly detection.

PDANet: Pyramid Density-aware Attention Net for Accurate Crowd Counting

Crowd counting, i.e., estimating the number of people in a crowded area, has attracted much interest in the research community. Although many attempts have been reported, crowd counting remains an open real-world problem due to the vast scale variations in crowd density within the interested area, and severe occlusion among the crowd. In this paper, we propose a novel Pyramid Density-Aware Attention-based network, abbreviated as PDANet, that leverages the attention, pyramid scale feature and two branch decoder modules for density-aware crowd counting. The PDANet utilizes these modules to extract different scale features, focus on the relevant information, and suppress the misleading ones. We also address the variation of crowdedness levels among different images with an exclusive Density-Aware Decoder (DAD). For this purpose, a classifier evaluates the density level of the input features and then passes them to the corresponding high and low crowded DAD modules. Finally, we generate an overall density map by considering the summation of low and high crowded density maps as spatial attention. Meanwhile, we employ two losses to create a precise density map for the input scene. Extensive evaluations conducted on the challenging benchmark datasets well demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed PDANet in terms of the accuracy of counting and generated density maps over the well-known state of the arts.

We develop a robust cut finite element method for a model of diffusion in fractured media consisting of a bulk domain with embedded cracks. The crack has its own pressure field and can cut through the bulk mesh in a very general fashion. Starting from a common background bulk mesh, that covers the domain, finite element spaces are constructed for the interface and bulk subdomains leading to efficient computations of the coupling terms. The crack pressure field also uses the bulk mesh for its representation. The interface conditions are a generalized form of conditions of Robin type previously considered in the literature which allows the modeling of a range of flow regimes across the fracture. The method is robust in the following way: 1. Stability of the formulation in the full range of parameter choices; and 2. Not sensitive to the location of the interface in the background mesh. We derive an optimal order a priori error estimate and present illustrating numerical examples.

We construct a phenomenological model which describes the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) of QCD vacuum and reproduces meson spectra. Quark condensates, the pion decay constant, and meson spectra are well reproduced by phenomenological interaction which consists of a linear confining potential, a Coulombic potential, and the 't Hooft determinant interaction. In this model, the 't Hooft determinant interaction plays a important role not to only \eta,\eta' mass difference, but other meson masses through DCSB.

A Domain-Specific Language for Verifying Software Requirement Constraints

Software requirement analysis can certainly benefit from prevention and early detection of failures, in particular by some kind of automatic analysis. Formal methods offer means to represent and analyze requirements with rigorous tools, avoiding ambiguities and allowing automatic verification of requirement consistency. However, formalisms often clash in the culture or lack of skills of software analysts, making them challenging to apply. In this article, we propose a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) based on Set Theory for requirement analysts. The Graphical InvaRiant Language (GIRL) can be used to specify software requirement structural invariants, with entities and their relationships. Those invariants can then have their consistency evaluated by the Alloy Analyzer, based on a mapping semantics we provide for transforming GIRL models into Alloy specifications with no user intervention. With a prototypical language editor and transformations implemented into an Eclipse plugin, we carried out a qualitative study with requirement analysts working for a government software company in Brazil, to evaluate usability and effectiveness of the GIRL-based analysis of real software requirements. The participants were able to effectively use the underlying formal analysis, since 79 out of 80 assigned invariants were correctly modeled. While participants perceived as low the complexity of learning and using GIRL's simplest, set-based structures and relationships, the most complex logical structures, such as quantification and implication, were challenging. Furthermore, almost all post-study evaluations from the participants were positive, especially as a tool for discovering requirement inconsistencies.

The HAWC Gamma Ray observatory consists of 300 water Cherenkov detectors (WCD) instrumented with four photo multipliers tubes (PMT) per WCD. HAWC is located between two of the highest mountains in Mexico. The high altitude (4100 m asl), the relatively short distance to the Gulf of Mexico (~100 km), the large detecting area (22 000 m$^2$) and its high sensitivity, make HAWC a good instrument to explore the acceleration of particles due to the electric fields existing inside storm clouds. In particular, the scaler system of HAWC records the output of each one of the 1200 PMTs as well as the 2, 3, and 4-fold multiplicities (logic AND in a time window of 30 ns) of each WCD with a sampling rate of 40 Hz. Using the scaler data, we have identified 20 enhancements of the observed rate during periods when storm clouds were over HAWC but without cloud-earth discharges. These enhancements can be produced by electrons with energy of tens of MeV, accelerated by the electric fields of tens of kV/m measured at the site during the storm periods. In this work, we present the recorded data, the method of analysis and our preliminary conclusions on the electron acceleration by the electric fields inside the clouds.

We present our first results for a sample of southern high-amplitude delta Scuti stars (HADS), based on a spectrophotometric survey started in 2003. For CY Aqr and AD CMi, we found very stable light and radial velocity curves; we confirmed the double-mode nature of ZZ Mic, BQ Ind and RY Lep. Finally, we detected gamma-velocity changes in RS Gru and RY Lep

This paper addresses the problem of bearing-only formation control in $d~(d\geq 2)$-dimensional space by exploring persistence of excitation (PE) of the desired bearing reference. By defining a desired formation that is bearing PE, distributed bearing-only control laws are proposed, which guarantee exponential stabilization of the desired formation only up to a translation vector. The key outcome of this approach relies in exploiting the bearing PE to significantly relax the conditions imposed on the graph topology to ensure exponential stabilization, when compared to the bearing rigidity conditions, and to remove the scale ambiguity introduced by bearing vectors. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed control method.

We investigate using generated decorative art as a source of inspiration for design tasks. Using a visual similarity search for image retrieval, the \emph{Camera Obscurer} app enables rapid searching of tens of thousands of generated abstract images of various types. The seed for a visual similarity search is a given image, and the retrieved generated images share some visual similarity with the seed. Implemented in a hand-held device, the app empowers users to use photos of their surroundings to search through the archive of generated images and other image archives. Being abstract in nature, the retrieved images supplement the seed image rather than replace it, providing different visual stimuli including shapes, colours, textures and juxtapositions, in addition to affording their own interpretations. This approach can therefore be used to provide inspiration for a design task, with the abstract images suggesting new ideas that might give direction to a graphic design project. We describe a crowdsourcing experiment with the app to estimate user confidence in retrieved images, and we describe a pilot study where Camera Obscurer provided inspiration for a design task. These experiments have enabled us to describe future improvements, and to begin to understand sources of visual inspiration for design tasks.

We tackle the challenge of feature embedding for the purposes of improving the click-through rate prediction process. We select three models: logistic regression, factorization machines and deep factorization machines, as our baselines and propose five different feature embedding modules: embedding scaling, FM embedding, embedding encoding, NN embedding and the embedding reweighting module. The embedding modules act as a way to improve baseline model feature embeddings and are trained alongside the rest of the model parameters in an end-to-end manner. Each module is individually added to a baseline model to obtain a new augmented model. We test the predictive performance of our augmented models on a publicly accessible dataset used for benchmarking click-through rate prediction models. Our results show that several proposed embedding modules provide an important increase in predictive performance without a drastic increase in training time.

Knowledge-augmented Frame Semantic Parsing with Hybrid Prompt-tuning

Frame semantics-based approaches have been widely used in semantic parsing tasks and have become mainstream. It remains challenging to disambiguate frame representations evoked by target lexical units under different contexts. Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) have been used in semantic parsing and significantly improve the accuracy of neural parsers. However, the PLMs-based approaches tend to favor collocated patterns presented in the training data, leading to inaccurate outcomes. The intuition here is to design a mechanism to optimally use knowledge captured in semantic frames in conjunction with PLMs to disambiguate frames. We propose a novel Knowledge-Augmented Frame Semantic Parsing Architecture (KAF-SPA) to enhance semantic representation by incorporating accurate frame knowledge into PLMs during frame semantic parsing. Specifically, a Memory-based Knowledge Extraction Module (MKEM) is devised to select accurate frame knowledge and construct the continuous templates in the high dimensional vector space. Moreover, we design a Task-oriented Knowledge Probing Module (TKPM) using hybrid prompts (in terms of continuous and discrete prompts) to incorporate the selected knowledge into the PLMs and adapt PLMs to the tasks of frame and argument identification. Experimental results on two public FrameNet datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms strong baselines (by more than +3$\%$ in F1), achieving state-of-art results on the current benchmark. Ablation studies verify the effectiveness of KAF-SPA.

The X-ray light curves of many gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) have a very steep-decay component (tail) following the prompt gamma-rays in the early phase and have some erratic flares occurring at a time from ~10^2 up to ~10^5 seconds. Based on the assumption that these tails and flares are of internal shock origin and that their decline behaviors are dominated by the curvature effect of the fireball, we present a self-consistency test for this scenario with a sample of 36 prompt-emission-tails/flare-tails in 22 GRB XRT light curves. Our results show that the t0 of the prompt emission tails and the tails of well-separated flares are usually at the rising segment of the last pulse of the prompt emission or the corresponding X-ray flare, being self-consistent with the expectation of the internal dissipation models for the prompt emission and X-ray flares. Our results indicate that each X-ray flare forms a distinct new episode of central engine activity and the GRB central engine remains active after the prompt emission is over, sometimes up to ~1 day after the GRB trigger (e.g. GRB 050502B & GRB 050724). This challenges the conventional central engine models and calls for new ideas to re-start the central engine. We further show that the on-set time of the late central engine activity does not depend on the GRB duration. We also identify a minority group of GRBs whose combined BAT-XRT light curves are smoothly connected without an abrupt transition between the prompt emission and the afterglow. These GRBs may have an external origin for both the prompt emission and the afterglow.

Repeated spectroscopic observations of stars in the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) database are used to identify and examine single-lined binary (SB1) candidates. The RAVE latest internal database (VDR3) includes radial velocities, atmospheric and other parameters for approximately quarter million of different stars with little less than 300,000 observations. In the sample of ~20,000 stars observed more than once, 1333 stars with variable radial velocities were identified. Most of them are believed to be SB1 candidates. The fraction of SB1 candidates among stars with several observations is between 10% and 15% which is the lower limit for binarity among RAVE stars. Due to the distribution of time spans between the re-observation that is biased towards relatively short timescales (days to weeks), the periods of the identified SB1 candidates are most likely in the same range. Because of the RAVE's narrow magnitude range most of the dwarf candidates belong to the thin Galactic disk while the giants are part of the thick disk with distances extending to up to a few kpc. The comparison of the list of SB1 candidates to the VSX catalog of variable stars yielded several pulsating variables among the giant population with the radial velocity variations of up to few tens of km/s. There are 26 matches between the catalog of spectroscopic binary orbits (SB9) and the whole RAVE sample for which the given periastron time and the time of RAVE observation were close enough to yield a reliable comparison. RAVE measurements of radial velocities of known spectroscopic binaries are consistent with their published radial velocity curves.

Adopting a purely group-theoretical point of view, we consider the star product of functions which is associated, in a natural way, with a square integrable (in general, projective) representation of a locally compact group. Next, we show that for this (implicitly defined) star product explicit formulae can be provided. Two significant examples are studied in detail: the group of translations on phase space and the one-dimensional affine group. The study of the first example leads to the Groenewold-Moyal star product. In the second example, the link with wavelet analysis is clarified.

Collisions at high-energy particle colliders are a traditionally fruitful source of exotic particle discoveries. Finding these rare particles requires solving difficult signal-versus-background classification problems, hence machine learning approaches are often used. Standard approaches have relied on `shallow' machine learning models that have a limited capacity to learn complex non-linear functions of the inputs, and rely on a pain-staking search through manually constructed non-linear features. Progress on this problem has slowed, as a variety of techniques have shown equivalent performance. Recent advances in the field of deep learning make it possible to learn more complex functions and better discriminate between signal and background classes. Using benchmark datasets, we show that deep learning methods need no manually constructed inputs and yet improve the classification metric by as much as 8\% over the best current approaches. This demonstrates that deep learning approaches can improve the power of collider searches for exotic particles.

The quasar 3C~286 is one of two compact steep spectrum sources detected by the {\it Fermi}/LAT. Here, we investigate the radio properties of the parsec(pc)-scale jet and its (possible) association with the $\gamma$-ray emission in 3C~286. The Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) images at various frequencies reveal a one-sided core--jet structure extending to the southwest at a projected distance of $\sim$1 kpc. The component at the jet base showing an inverted spectrum is identified as the core, with a mean brightness temperature of $2.8\times 10^{9}$~K. The jet bends at about 600 pc (in projection) away from the core, from a position angle of $-135^\circ$ to $-115^\circ$. Based on the available VLBI data, we inferred the proper motion speed of the inner jet as $0.013 \pm 0.011$ mas yr$^{-1}$ ($\beta_{\rm app} = 0.6 \pm 0.5$), corresponding to a jet speed of about $0.5\,c$ at an inclination angle of $48^\circ$ between the jet and the line of sight of the observer. The brightness temperature, jet speed and Lorentz factor are much lower than those of $\gamma$-ray-emitting blazars, implying that the pc-scale jet in 3C~286 is mildly relativistic. Unlike blazars in which $\gamma$-ray emission is in general thought to originate from the beamed innermost jet, the location and mechanism of $\gamma$-ray emission in 3C~286 may be different as indicated by the current radio data. Multi-band spectrum fitting may offer a complementary diagnostic clue of the $\gamma$-ray production mechanism in this source.

This paper presents a finite length analysis of multi-slot type frameless ALOHA based on a dynamic programming approach. The analysis is exact, but its evaluation is only feasible for moderate number of users due to the computational complexity. The analysis is then extended to derive continuous approximations of its key parameters, which, apart from providing an insight into the decoding process, make it possible to estimate the packet error rate with very low computational complexity. Finally, a feedback scheme is presented in which the slot access scheme is dynamically adapted according to the approximate analysis in order to minimize the packet error rate. The results indicate that the introduction of feedback can substantially improve the performance of frameless ALOHA

One defines two ways of constructing rational maps derived from other rational maps, in a characteristic-free context. The first introduces the Newton complementary dual of a rational map. One main result is that this dual preserves birationality and gives an involutional map of the Cremona group to itself that restricts to the monomial Cremona subgroup and preserves de Jonqui\`eres maps. In the monomial restriction this duality commutes with taking inverse in the group, but is a not a group homomorphism. The second construction is an iterative process to obtain rational maps in increasing dimension. Starting with birational maps, it leads to rational maps whose topological degree is under control. Making use of monoids, the resulting construct is in fact birational if the original map is so. A variation of this idea is considered in order to preserve properties of the base ideal, such as Cohen--Macaulayness. Combining the two methods, one is able to produce explicit infinite families of Cohen--Macaulay Cremona maps with prescribed dimension, codimension and degree.

The mapping between biological genotypes and phenotypes is central to the study of biological evolution. Here we introduce a rich, intuitive, and biologically realistic genotype-phenotype (GP) map, that serves as a model of self-assembling biological structures, such as protein complexes, and remains computationally and analytically tractable. Our GP map arises naturally from the self-assembly of polyomino structures on a 2D lattice and exhibits a number of properties: $\textit{redundancy}$ (genotypes vastly outnumber phenotypes), $\textit{phenotype bias}$ (genotypic redundancy varies greatly between phenotypes), $\textit{genotype component disconnectivity}$ (phenotypes consist of disconnected mutational networks) and $\textit{shape space covering}$ (most phenotypes can be reached in a small number of mutations). We also show that the mutational robustness of phenotypes scales very roughly logarithmically with phenotype redundancy and is positively correlated with phenotypic evolvability. Although our GP map describes the assembly of disconnected objects, it shares many properties with other popular GP maps for connected units, such as models for RNA secondary structure or the HP lattice model for protein tertiary structure. The remarkable fact that these important properties similarly emerge from such different models suggests the possibility that universal features underlie a much wider class of biologically realistic GP maps.

We study generalisations of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution in the presence of a scalar field with a potential barrier. These static, spherically symmetric solutions have two horizons, in between which the scalar interpolates at least once across the potential barrier, thus developing a lump. In part, we recover solutions discussed earlier in the literature and for those we clarify their properties. But we also find a new class of solutions in which the scalar lump curves the spacetime sufficiently strongly so as to change the nature of the erstwhile cosmological horizon into an additional trapped horizon, resulting in a scalar lump surrounded by two black holes. These new solutions appear in a wide range of the parameter space of the potential. We also discuss (challenges for) the application of all of these solutions to black hole seeded vacuum decay.

We propose a systematic programme to search for long-lived neutral particle signatures through a minimal set of displaced searches requiring significant missing transverse energy (dMETs). Our approach is to extend the well-established dark matter simplified models to include displaced vertices. The dark matter simplified models are used to describe the primary production vertex. A displaced secondary vertex, characterised by the mass of the long-lived particle and its lifetime, is added for the displaced signature. We show how these models can be motivated by, and mapped onto, complete models such as gauge-mediated SUSY breaking and models of neutral naturalness. We also outline how this approach may be used to extend other simplified models to incorporate displaced signatures and to characterise searches for long-lived charged particles. Displaced vertices are a striking signature with virtually no backgrounds from SM processes, and thus provide an excellent target for the high-luminosity run of the Large Hadron Collider. The proposed models and searches provide a first step towards a systematic broadening of the displaced dark matter search programme.

Flux cost functions and optimal metabolic states

The metabolic fluxes in cells follow physical, biochemical, and economic principles. Some flux balance analysis (FBA) methods trade flux benefit against flux cost. However, if flux cost functions are linear and meant to describe underlying enzyme costs, this entails that enzyme efficiencies are constant and ignores the interplay between fluxes, metabolite concentrations and enzyme levels in cells. Here I introduce realistic flux cost functions that describe an "overhead cost", namely the minimum enzyme and metabolite cost associated with the fluxes in a kinetic model. These flux cost functions have general mathematical properties. Enzymatic flux cost functions, which represent enzyme costs, scale proportionally with the flux profile and are concave on the flux polytope. Kinetic flux cost functions represent the sum of enzyme and metabolite costs. If two flux profiles are superimposed, their different demands for metabolite concentrations cause an extra compromise cost, which makes flux cost functions strictly concave in almost all cases. When fluxes change their direction, the enzymatic cost jumps abruptly. Here I propose two methods for flux modelling: Flux Cost Minimisation, a nonlinear variant of FBA with flux minimisation, and Flux Benefit Optimisation, a nonlinear variant of FBA with molecular crowding. The optimal flux profiles, at a given flux benefit, are vertices of the flux polytope. Linear approximations of enzymatic flux cost can be used in FBA. In contrast to flux costs chosen ad hoc, these functions reflect the enzyme kinetics and extracellular concentrations in realistic kinetic models. Based on enzymatic flux costs, we can describe the cell growth rate as a convex function on the flux polytope and derive growth-optimal metabolic states and statistical distributions for the fluxes in cell populations.

We study the nonlinear optical propagation of two different classes of space-varying polarized light beams -- radially symmetric vector beams and Poincar\'e beams with lemon and star topologies -- in a rubidium vapour cell. Unlike Laguerre-Gauss and other types of beams that experience modulational instabilities, we observe that their propagation is not marked by beam breakup while still exhibiting traits such as nonlinear confinement and self-focusing. Our results suggest that by tailoring the spatial structure of the polarization, the effects of nonlinear propagation can be effectively controlled. These findings provide a novel approach to transport high-power light beams in nonlinear media with controllable distortions to their spatial structure and polarization properties.

The Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with symmetric harmonic trap is given in (1). Periodic solutions of (1) play an important role in the understanding of the long term behavior of its solutions. In this note we prove the existence of several global branches of solutions to (1) among which there are vortex solutions and dipole solutions.

Innovations in scholarly communication have resulted in changing roles for authors, publishers and libraries. Traditional roles are disappearing and players are actively seeking or reluctantly assuming new roles. Library roles are changing as they become involved in building and indexing electronic (e-) repositories and support new modes of e-research. A library-run service, the SPIRES particle physics databases, has not only weathered, but also lead, many of the transitions that have shaped the landscape of epublishing and e-research. This has been possible through an intense and in-depth partnership with its user community. The strategies used and lessons learned can help other libraries craft cost-effective roles in this new environment.

We develop a general method for customizing the intensity statistics of speckle patterns on a target plane. By judiciously modulating the phase-front of a monochromatic laser beam, we experimentally generate speckle patterns with arbitrarily-tailored intensity probability-density functions. Relative to Rayleigh speckles, our customized speckles exhibit radically different topologies yet maintain the same spatial correlation length. The customized speckles are fully developed, ergodic, and stationary: with circular non-Gaussian statistics for the complex field. Propagating away from the target plane, the customized speckles revert back to Rayleigh speckles. This work provides a versatile framework for tailoring speckle patterns with varied applications in microscopy, imaging and optical manipulation.

We study the effect of the spin-orbit interaction on heavy holes confined in a double quantum dot in the presence of a magnetic field of arbitrary direction. Rich physics arise as the two hole states of different spin are not only coupled by the spin-orbit interaction but additionally by the effect of site-dependent anisotropic $g$ tensors. It is demonstrated that these effects may counteract in such a way as to cancel the coupling at certain detunings and tilting angles of the magnetic field. This feature may be used in singlet-triplet qubits to avoid leakage errors and implement an electrical spin-orbit switch, suggesting the possibility of task-tailored two-axes control. Additionally, we investigate systems with a strong spin-orbit interaction at weak magnetic fields. By exact diagonalization of the dominant Hamiltonian we find that the magnetic field may be chosen such that the qubit ground state is mixed only within the logical subspace for realistic system parameters, hence reducing leakage errors and providing reliable control over the qubit.

We study the fractional gravity for spacetimes with non-integer dimensions. Our constructions are based on a geometric formalism with the fractional Caputo derivative and integral calculus adapted to nonolonomic distributions. This allows us to define a fractional spacetime geometry with fundamental geometric/physical objects and a generalized tensor calculus all being similar to respective integer dimension constructions. Such models of fractional gravity mimic the Einstein gravity theory and various Lagrange-Finsler and Hamilton-Cartan generalizations in nonholonomic variables. The approach suggests a number of new implications for gravity and matter field theories with singular, stochastic, kinetic, fractal, memory etc processes. We prove that the fractional gravitational field equations can be integrated in very general forms following the anholonomic deformation method for constructing exact solutions. Finally, we study some examples of fractional black hole solutions, fractional ellipsoid gravitational configurations and imbedding of such objects in fractional solitonic backgrounds.

Recently collected SNIa data have been used to address the problem of measuring the cosmological parameters of the universe. Analysed in the framework of homogeneous models, they have yielded, as a primary result, a strictly positive cosmological constant. However, a straight reading of the published measurements, conducted with no a priori idea of which model would best describe our universe, at least up to redshifts z=1, does not exclude the possibility of ruling out the Cosmological Principle - and cosmological constant - hypotheses. It is here shown how the large scale (in)homogeneity of this part of the universe can be tested on our past light cone, using the magnitude-redshift relation, provided sufficiently accurate data from sources at redshifts approaching z=1 would be available.

The corrosion resistance of an electroplated (EP) Zn coating whose surface was chemically etched to produce surface defects (pores) is investigated in this work. Impedance and DC polarisation measururements were employed to study the behaviour of such coating in various corrosive media (NaCl, NaOH and rain water). Four different faradaic relaxation processes were clearly revealed in different NaCl concentrations (from 0.1M to 1M). In the most concentrated solutions at least three relaxation processes at low frequencies (LF) appeared and were related to zinc deposition and dissolution. At lower concentrations and depending on the pH, only one process was observed. The charge transfer resistance (Rct) and the corrosion current (Icorr) were practically stable in the pH range 5 to 10. In deaerated NaCl 0.1M, the EIS diagrams showed two time-constants at very close frequencies. From the EIS diagrams the porous nature of the coating was highlighted and showed that the dissolution mechanisms occurred at the base of the pores.

Photonic quantum-corral ring laser: A fermionic phase transition

Extensive Bose-Einstein condensation research activities have recently led to studies of fermionic atoms and optical confinements. Here we present a case of micro-optical fermionic electron phase transition. Optically confined ordering and phase transitions of a fermionic cloud in dynamic steady state are associated with Rayleigh emissions from photonic quantum ring manifold which are generated by nature without any ring lithography. The whispering gallery modes, produced in a semiconductor Rayleigh-Fabry-Perot toroidal cavity at room temperature, exhibit novel properties of ultralow thresholds open to nano-ampere regime, thermal stabilities from square-root-T-dependent spectral shift, and angularly varying intermode spacings. The photonic quantum ring phenomena are associated with a photonic field-driven phase transition of quantum-well-to-quantum-wire and hence the photonic (non-de Broglie) quantum corral effect on the Rayleigh cavity-confined carriers in dynamic steady state. Based upon the intra-cavity fermionic condensation we also offer a prospect for an electrically driven few-quantum dot single photon source from the photonic quantum ring laser for quantum information processors.

We propose a new way of thinking about one parameter persistence. We believe topological persistence is fundamentally not about decomposition theorems but a central role is played by a choice of metrics. Choosing a pseudometric between persistent vector spaces leads to stabilization of discrete invariants. We develop theory behind this stabilization and stable rank invariant. We give evidence of the usefulness of this approach in concrete data analysis.

We compare scaling properties of the cardiac dynamics during sleep and wake periods for healthy individuals, cosmonauts during orbital flight, and subjects with severe heart disease. For all three groups, we find a greater degree of anticorrelation in the heartbeat fluctuations during sleep compared to wake periods. The sleep-wake difference in the scaling exponents for the three groups is comparable to the difference between healthy and diseased individuals. The observed scaling differences are not accounted for simply by different levels of activity, but appear related to intrinsic changes in the neuroautonomic control of the heartbeat.

In a proper edge-coloring the edges of every color form a matching. A matching is induced if the end-vertices of its edges induce a matching. A strong edge-coloring is an edge-coloring in which the edges of every color form an induced matching. We consider intermediate types of edge-colorings, where edges of some colors are allowed to form matchings, and the remaining form induced matchings. Our research is motivated by the conjecture proposed in a recent paper of Gastineau and Togni on S-packing edge-colorings (On S-packing edge-colorings of cubic graphs, Discrete Appl. Math. 259 (2019), 63-75) asserting that by allowing three additional induced matchings, one is able to save one matching color. We prove that every graph with maximum degree 3 can be decomposed into one matching and at most 8 induced matchings, and two matchings and at most 5 induced matchings. We also show that if a graph is in class I, the number of induced matchings can be decreased by one, hence confirming the above-mentioned conjecture for class I graphs.
