Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have proven to be successful in many classification tasks, outperforming previous state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy. However, accuracy alone is not enough for high-stakes decision making. Decision makers want to know the likelihood that a specific GNN prediction is correct. For this purpose, obtaining calibrated models is essential. In this work, we perform an empirical evaluation of the calibration of state-of-the-art GNNs on multiple datasets. Our experiments show that GNNs can be calibrated in some datasets but also badly miscalibrated in others, and that state-of-the-art calibration methods are helpful but do not fix the problem.

Machine learned tasks on seismic data are often trained sequentially and separately, even though they utilize the same features (i.e. geometrical) of the data. We present StorSeismic, as a framework for seismic data processing, which consists of neural network pre-training and fine-tuning procedures. We, specifically, utilize a neural network as a preprocessing model to store seismic data features of a particular dataset for any downstream tasks. After pre-training, the resulting model can be utilized later, through a fine-tuning procedure, to perform tasks using limited additional training. Used often in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and lately in vision tasks, BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformer), a form of a Transformer model, provides an optimal platform for this framework. The attention mechanism of BERT, applied here on a sequence of traces within the shot gather, is able to capture and store key geometrical features of the seismic data. We pre-train StorSeismic on field data, along with synthetically generated ones, in the self-supervised step. Then, we use the labeled synthetic data to fine-tune the pre-trained network in a supervised fashion to perform various seismic processing tasks, like denoising, velocity estimation, first arrival picking, and NMO. Finally, the fine-tuned model is used to obtain satisfactory inference results on the field data.

Robust-RRT: Probabilistically-Complete Motion Planning for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

Robust motion planning entails computing a global motion plan that is safe under all possible uncertainty realizations, be it in the system dynamics, the robot's initial position, or with respect to external disturbances. Current approaches for robust motion planning either lack theoretical guarantees, or make restrictive assumptions on the system dynamics and uncertainty distributions. In this paper, we address these limitations by proposing the robust rapidly-exploring random-tree (Robust-RRT) algorithm, which integrates forward reachability analysis directly into sampling-based control trajectory synthesis. We prove that Robust-RRT is probabilistically complete (PC) for nonlinear Lipschitz continuous dynamical systems with bounded uncertainty. In other words, Robust-RRT eventually finds a robust motion plan that is feasible under all possible uncertainty realizations assuming such a plan exists. Our analysis applies even to unstable systems that admit only short-horizon feasible plans; this is because we explicitly consider the time evolution of reachable sets along control trajectories. Thanks to the explicit consideration of time dependency in our analysis, PC applies to unstabilizable systems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the most general PC proof for robust sampling-based motion planning, in terms of the types of uncertainties and dynamical systems it can handle. Considering that an exact computation of reachable sets can be computationally expensive for some dynamical systems, we incorporate sampling-based reachability analysis into Robust-RRT and demonstrate our robust planner on nonlinear, underactuated, and hybrid systems.

Motivated by recent advances in single molecule manipulation techniques that enabled several groups to tie knots in individual polymer strands and to monitor their dynamics, we have used computer simulations to study "friction knots" joining a pair of polymer strands. The key property of a friction knot splicing two ropes is that it becomes jammed when the ropes are pulled apart. In contrast, molecular friction knots eventually become undone by thermal motion. We show that depending on the knot type and on the polymer structure, a friction knot between polymer strands can be strong (the time t the knot stays tied increases with the force F applied to separate the strands) or weak (t decreases with increasing F). We further present a simple model explaining these behaviors.

In a recent paper we have shown that the evolution of a misaligned disc around a spinning black hole can result in tearing the disc into many distinct planes. Tearing discs with random orientations produce direct dynamical accretion on to the hole in approximately 70% of all cases. Here we examine the evolution of a misaligned disc around a binary system. We show that these discs are susceptible to tearing for almost all inclinations. We also show that tearing of the disc can result in a significant acceleration of the disc evolution and subsequent accretion on to the binary - by factors up to 10,000 times that of a coplanar prograde disc with otherwise identical parameters. This provides a promising mechanism for driving mergers of supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries on timescales much shorter than a Hubble time. Disc tearing also suggests new observational signatures of accreting SMBH binaries, and other systems such as protostellar binaries.

We present an effective technique for training deep learning agents capable of negotiating on a set of clauses in a contract agreement using a simple communication protocol. We use Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning to train both agents simultaneously as they negotiate with each other in the training environment. We also model selfish and prosocial behavior to varying degrees in these agents. Empirical evidence is provided showing consistency in agent behaviors. We further train a meta agent with a mixture of behaviors by learning an ensemble of different models using reinforcement learning. Finally, to ascertain the deployability of the negotiating agents, we conducted experiments pitting the trained agents against human players. Results demonstrate that the agents are able to hold their own against human players, often emerging as winners in the negotiation. Our experiments demonstrate that the meta agent is able to reasonably emulate human behavior.

In some important computer vision domains, such as medical or hyperspectral imaging, we care about the classification of tiny objects in large images. However, most Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image classification were developed using biased datasets that contain large objects, in mostly central image positions. To assess whether classical CNN architectures work well for tiny object classification we build a comprehensive testbed containing two datasets: one derived from MNIST digits and one from histopathology images. This testbed allows controlled experiments to stress-test CNN architectures with a broad spectrum of signal-to-noise ratios. Our observations indicate that: (1) There exists a limit to signal-to-noise below which CNNs fail to generalize and that this limit is affected by dataset size - more data leading to better performances; however, the amount of training data required for the model to generalize scales rapidly with the inverse of the object-to-image ratio (2) in general, higher capacity models exhibit better generalization; (3) when knowing the approximate object sizes, adapting receptive field is beneficial; and (4) for very small signal-to-noise ratio the choice of global pooling operation affects optimization, whereas for relatively large signal-to-noise values, all tested global pooling operations exhibit similar performance.

Aligning individual brains with Fused Unbalanced Gromov-Wasserstein

Individual brains vary in both anatomy and functional organization, even within a given species. Inter-individual variability is a major impediment when trying to draw generalizable conclusions from neuroimaging data collected on groups of subjects. Current co-registration procedures rely on limited data, and thus lead to very coarse inter-subject alignments. In this work, we present a novel method for inter-subject alignment based on Optimal Transport, denoted as Fused Unbalanced Gromov Wasserstein (FUGW). The method aligns cortical surfaces based on the similarity of their functional signatures in response to a variety of stimulation settings, while penalizing large deformations of individual topographic organization. We demonstrate that FUGW is well-suited for whole-brain landmark-free alignment. The unbalanced feature allows to deal with the fact that functional areas vary in size across subjects. Our results show that FUGW alignment significantly increases between-subject correlation of activity for independent functional data, and leads to more precise mapping at the group level.

We present a semiclassical study of level widths for a class of one-dimensional potentials in the presence of an ohmic environment. Employing an expression for the dipole matrix element in terms of the Fourier transform of the classical path we obtain the level widths within the Golden rule approximation. It is found that for potentials with an asymptotic power-law behavior, which may in addition be limited by an infinite wall, the width that an eigenstate of the isolated system acquires due to the coupling to the environment is proportional to its quantum number.

Identity Management is becoming more and more important in business systems as they are opened for third parties including trading partners, consumers and suppliers. This paper presents an approach securing a system without any knowledge of the system source code. The security module adds to the existing system authentication and authorisation based on aspect oriented programming and the liberty alliance framework, an upcoming industrie standard providing single sign on. In an initial training phase the module is adapted to the application which is to be secured. Moreover the use of hardware tokens and proactive computing is demonstrated. The high modularisation is achived through use of AspectJ, a programming language extension of Java.

A fundamental challenge in multi- and many-core systems is the correct execution of concurrent access to shared data. A common drawback from existing synchronization mechanisms is the loss of data locality as the shared data is transferred between the accessing cores. In real-time systems, this is especially important as knowledge about data access times is crucial to establish bounds on execution times and guarantee the meeting of deadlines.We propose in this paper a refinement of our previously sketched approach of Migration-Based Synchronization (MBS) as well as its first practical implementation. The core concept of MBS is the replacement of data migration with control-flow migration to achieve synchronized memory accesses with guaranteed data locality. This leads to both shorter and more predictable execution times for critical sections. As MBS can be used as a substitute for classical locks, it can be employed in legacy applications without code alterations.We further examine how the gained data locality improves the results of worst-case timing analyses and results in tighter bounds on execution and response time. We reason about the similarity of MBS to existing synchronization approaches and how it enables us to reuse existing analysis techniques.Finally, we evaluate our prototype implementation, showing that MBS can exploit data locality with similar overheads as traditional locking mechanisms.

(abridged) We provide Ks photometry for roughly 39,000 stars and H-band photometry for about 11,000 stars within a field of about 40"x40", centred on Sgr A*. In addition, we provide Ks photometry of about 3,000 stars in a very deep central field of 10"x10", centred on Sgr A*. We find that the Ks luminosity function (KLF) is rather homogeneous within the studied field and does not show any significant changes as a function of distance from the central black hole on scales of a few 0.1 pc. By fitting theoretical luminosity functions to the KLF, we derive the star formation history of the nuclear star cluster. We find that about 80% of the original star formation took place 10 Gyr ago or longer, followed by a largely quiescent phase that lasted for more than 5 Gyr. We clearly detect the presence of intermediate-age stars of about 3 Gyr in age. This event makes up about 15% of the originally formed stellar mass of the cluster. A few percent of the stellar mass formed in the past few 100 Myr. Our results appear to be inconsistent with a quasi-continuous star formation history. The stellar density increases exponentially towards Sgr A* at all magnitudes between Ks=15 to 19. We also show that the precise properties of the stellar cusp around Sgr A* are hard to determine because the star formation history suggests that the star counts can be significantly contaminated, at all magnitudes, by stars that are too young to be dynamically relaxed. We find that the probability of observing any young (non-millisecond) pulsar in a tight orbit around Sgr A* and beamed towards Earth is very low. We argue that typical globular clusters, such as they are observed in and around the Milky Way today, have probably not contributed to the nuclear cluster's mass in any significant way. The nuclear cluster may have formed following major merger events in the early history of the Milky Way.

Rationale and Objectives: Medical artificial intelligence systems are dependent on well characterised large scale datasets. Recently released public datasets have been of great interest to the field, but pose specific challenges due to the disconnect they cause between data generation and data usage, potentially limiting the utility of these datasets. Materials and Methods: We visually explore two large public datasets, to determine how accurate the provided labels are and whether other subtle problems exist. The ChestXray14 dataset contains 112,120 frontal chest films, and the MURA dataset contains 40,561 upper limb radiographs. A subset of around 700 images from both datasets was reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, and the quality of the original labels was determined. Results: The ChestXray14 labels did not accurately reflect the visual content of the images, with positive predictive values mostly between 10% and 30% lower than the values presented in the original documentation. There were other significant problems, with examples of hidden stratification and label disambiguation failure. The MURA labels were more accurate, but the original normal/abnormal labels were inaccurate for the subset of cases with degenerative joint disease, with a sensitivity of 60% and a specificity of 82%. Conclusion: Visual inspection of images is a necessary component of understanding large image datasets. We recommend that teams producing public datasets should perform this important quality control procedure and include a thorough description of their findings, along with an explanation of the data generating procedures and labelling rules, in the documentation for their datasets.

If $E$ is a not-necessarily row-finite graph, such that each vertex of $E$ emits at most countably many edges, then a {\it desingularization} $F$ of $E$ can be constructed (see e.g. (1) G. Abrams, G. Aranda Pino, Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary graphs, Houston J. Math 34(2) (2008), 423-442, or (2) I. Raeburn, "Graph algebras". CBMS Regional Conference Series in Mathematics 103, Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences, Washington, DC, 2005, ISBN 0-8218-3660-9). The desingularization process has been effectively used to establish various characteristics of the Leavitt path algebras of not-necessarily row-finite graphs. Such a desingularization $F$ of $E$ has the properties that: (1) $F$ is row-finite, and (2) the Leavitt path algebras $L(E)$ and $L(F)$ are Morita equivalent. We show here that for an arbitrary graph $E$, a graph $F$ having properties (1) and (2) exists (we call such a graph $F$ a \emph{row-finite equivalent of} $E$) if and only if $E$ is row-countable; that is, $E$ contains no vertex $v$ for which $v$ emits uncountably many edges.

In the present paper, we studied a Dynamic Stochastic Block Model (DSBM) under the assumptions that the connection probabilities, as functions of time, are smooth and that at most $s$ nodes can switch their class memberships between two consecutive time points. We estimate the edge probability tensor by a kernel-type procedure and extract the group memberships of the nodes by spectral clustering. The procedure is computationally viable, adaptive to the unknown smoothness of the functional connection probabilities, to the rate $s$ of membership switching and to the unknown number of clusters. In addition, it is accompanied by non-asymptotic guarantees for the precision of estimation and clustering.

We demonstrate that the recently proposed pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method PERM (P. Grassberger, Phys. Rev. E, in press (1997)) leads to extremely efficient algorithms for the folding of simple model proteins. We test it on several models for lattice heteropolymers, and compare to published Monte Carlo studies of the properties of particular sequences. In all cases our method is faster than the previous ones, and in several cases we find new minimal energy states. In addition to producing more reliable candidates for ground states, our method gives detailed information about the thermal spectrum and, thus, allows to analyze static aspects of the folding behavior of arbitrary sequences.

Self-supervised learning (SlfSL), aiming at learning feature representations through ingeniously designed pretext tasks without human annotation, has achieved compelling progress in the past few years. Very recently, SlfSL has also been identified as a promising solution for semi-supervised learning (SemSL) since it offers a new paradigm to utilize unlabeled data. This work further explores this direction by proposing to couple SlfSL with SemSL. Our insight is that the prediction target in SemSL can be modeled as the latent factor in the predictor for the SlfSL target. Marginalizing over the latent factor naturally derives a new formulation which marries the prediction targets of these two learning processes. By implementing this idea through a simple-but-effective SlfSL approach -- rotation angle prediction, we create a new SemSL approach called Conditional Rotation Angle Estimation (CRAE). Specifically, CRAE is featured by adopting a module which predicts the image rotation angle conditioned on the candidate image class. Through experimental evaluation, we show that CRAE achieves superior performance over the other existing ways of combining SlfSL and SemSL. To further boost CRAE, we propose two extensions to strengthen the coupling between SemSL target and SlfSL target in basic CRAE. We show that this leads to an improved CRAE method which can achieve the state-of-the-art SemSL performance.

Accurate long-term trajectory prediction in complex scenes, where multiple agents (e.g., pedestrians or vehicles) interact with each other and the environment while attempting to accomplish diverse and often unknown goals, is a challenging stochastic forecasting problem. In this work, we propose MUSE, a new probabilistic modeling framework based on a cascade of Conditional VAEs, which tackles the long-term, uncertain trajectory prediction task using a coarse-to-fine multi-factor forecasting architecture. In its Macro stage, the model learns a joint pixel-space representation of two key factors, the underlying environment and the agent movements, to predict the long and short-term motion goals. Conditioned on them, the Micro stage learns a fine-grained spatio-temporal representation for the prediction of individual agent trajectories. The VAE backbones across the two stages make it possible to naturally account for the joint uncertainty at both levels of granularity. As a result, MUSE offers diverse and simultaneously more accurate predictions compared to the current state-of-the-art. We demonstrate these assertions through a comprehensive set of experiments on nuScenes and SDD benchmarks as well as PFSD, a new synthetic dataset, which challenges the forecasting ability of models on complex agent-environment interaction scenarios.

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the coherent and incoherent processes in open 3-level ladder systems in room temperature gases and identify in which regime electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) occurs. The peculiarity of this work lies in the unusual situation where the wavelength of the probe field is shorter than that of the coupling field. The nature of the observed spectral features depends considerably on the total response of different velocity classes, the varying Doppler shifts for bichromatic excitation fields, on optical pumping to additional electronic states and transit time effects. All these ingredients can be absorbed in a model based on optical Bloch equations with only five electronic states.

Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool for probing the inner structure of distant quasars. In this context, we have obtained spectropolarimetric observations of the two images of the broad absorption line (BAL) quasar SDSSJ081830.46+060138.0 (J0818+0601) at redshift $z \simeq$ 2.35. We first show that J0818+0601 is actually gravitationally lensed, and not a binary quasar. A strong absorption system detected at $z$ = 1.0065$\pm$0.0002 is possibly due to the lensing galaxy. Microlensing is observed in one image and it magnifies the emission lines, the continuum, and the BALs differently. By disentangling the part of the spectrum that is microlensed from the part that is not microlensed, we unveil two sources of continuum that must be spatially separated: a compact one, which is microlensed, and an extended one, which is not microlensed and contributes to two thirds of the total continuum emission. J0818+0601 is the second BAL quasar in which an extended source of rest-frame ultraviolet continuum is found. We also find that the images are differently polarized, suggesting that the two continua might be differently polarized. Our analysis provides constraints on the BAL flow. In particular, we find that the outflow is seen with a nonzero onset velocity, and stratified according to ionization.

We perform local numerical experiments to investigate the nonlinear stability of thin, radially-stratified disks. We demonstrate the presence of radial convective instability when the disk is nearly in uniform rotation, and show that the net angular momentum transport is slightly inwards, consistent with previous investigations of vertical convection. We then show that a convectively-unstable equilibrium is stabilized by differential rotation. Convective instability is determined by the Richardson number Ri = N_r^2/(q\Omega)^2, where N_r is the radial Brunt-Vaisala frequency and q\Omega is the shear rate. Classical convective instability in a nonshearing medium (Ri -> -infinity) is suppressed when Ri > -1, i.e. when the shear rate becomes greater than the growth rate. Disks with a nearly-Keplerian rotation profile and radial gradients on the order of the disk radius have Ri > -0.01 and are therefore stable to local nonaxisymmetric disturbances. One implication of our results is that the ``baroclinic'' instability recently claimed by Klahr & Bodenheimer is either global or nonexistent. We estimate that our simulations would detect any genuine growth rate > 0.0025\Omega.

Loss of mobility or balance resulting from neural trauma is a critical consideration in public health. Robotic exoskeletons hold great potential for rehabilitation and assisted movement, yet optimal assist-as-needed (AAN) control remains unresolved given pathological variance among patients. We introduce a model predictive control (MPC) architecture for lower limb exoskeletons centred around a fuzzy logic algorithm (FLA) identifying modes of assistance based on human involvement. Assistance modes are: 1) passive for human relaxed and robot dominant, 2) active-assist for human cooperation with the task, and 3) safety in the case of human resistance to the robot. Human torque is estimated from electromyography (EMG) signals prior to joint motions, enabling advanced prediction of torque by the MPC and selection of assistance mode by the FLA. The controller is demonstrated in hardware with three subjects on a 1-DOF knee exoskeleton tracking a sinusoidal trajectory with human relaxed assistive, and resistive. Experimental results show quick and appropriate transfers among the assistance modes and satisfied assistive performance in each mode. Results illustrate an objective approach to lower limb robotic assistance through on-the-fly transition between modes of movement, providing a new level of human-robot synergy for mobility assist and rehabilitation.

The aim of this work is to analyze the entropy, entropy flux and entropy supply rate of granular fluids within the frameworks of the Boltzmann equation and continuum thermodynamics. It is shown that the entropy inequality for a granular gas that follows from the Boltzmann equation differs from the one of a simple fluid due to the presence of a term which can be identified as the rate of entropy supply density. From the knowledge of a non-equilibrium distribution function -- valid for for processes closed to equilibrium and quasi-elastic restitution coefficients -- it is obtained that the rate of entropy supply density is equal to the rate of internal energy production density divided by the temperature and the entropy flux is equal to the heat flux vector divided by the temperature. A thermodynamic theory of a granular fluid is also developed whose objective is the determination of the basic fields of mass density, momentum density and internal energy density. The constitutive laws are restricted by the principle of material frame indifference and by the entropy principle. Through the exploitation of the entropy principle with Lagrange multipliers, it is shown that the results obtained from the kinetic theory for granular gases concerning the rate of entropy supply density and entropy flux are valid in general for processes close to equilibrium of granular fluids, where linearized constitutive equations hold.

String matching is an important part in today's computer applications and Aho-Corasick algorithm is one of the main string matching algorithms used to accomplish this. This paper discusses that when can the GPUs be used for string matching applications using the Aho-Corasick algorithm as a benchmark. We have to identify the best unit to run our string matching algorithm according to the performance of our devices and the applications. Sometimes CPU gives better performance than GPU and sometimes GPU gives better performance than CPU. Therefore, identifying this critical point is significant task for researchers who are using GPUs to improve the performance of their string matching applications based on string matching algorithms.

We have performed an extensive search for planet candidates in the publicly available Kepler Long Cadence data from quarters Q1 through Q6. The search method consists of initial de-trending of the data, applying the trend filtering algorithm, searching for transit signals with the Box Least Squares fitting method in three frequency domains, visual inspection of the potential transit candidates, and in-depth analysis of the shortlisted candidates. In this paper we present 150 new periodic planet candidates and 7 single transit events, 72 of which are in multiple systems. The periods of these planet candidates vary from $\sim$0.17\,day to $\sim$ 440\,day. 124 of the planet candidates have radii smaller than 3 \rearth. We recover 82.5% of the Batalha et al. (2012) KOI catalog. We also report 40 newly identified false positives---systems that look like transiting planets, but are probably due to blended eclipsing binaries. Our search improves the statistics in the short period and small planet radii parameter ranges.

As a promising paradigm for the fifth generation wireless communication (5G) system, the fog radio access network (F-RAN) has been proposed as an advanced socially-aware mobile networking architecture to provide high spectral efficiency (SE) while maintaining high energy efficiency (EE) and low latency. Recent advents are advocated to the performance analysis and radio resource allocation, both of which are fundamental issues to make F-RANs successfully rollout. This article comprehensively summarizes the recent advances of the performance analysis and radio resource allocation in F-RANs. Particularly, the advanced edge cache and adaptive model selection schemes are presented to improve SE and EE under maintaining a low latency level. The radio resource allocation strategies to optimize SE and EE in F-RANs are respectively proposed. A few open issues in terms of the F-RAN based 5G architecture and the social-awareness technique are identified as well.

We report ultraviolet spectra of the high-redshift (z_em = 2.9) quasar, HE 2347-4342, taken by the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Spectra in the G130M (medium-resolution, 1135-1440 A) and G140L (low-resolution, 1030-2000 A) gratings exhibit patchy Gunn-Peterson absorption in the 303.78 A (Ly-alpha) line of He II between z = 2.39-2.87 (G140L) and z = 2.74-2.90 (G130M). With COS, we obtain better spectral resolution, higher-S/N, and better determined backgrounds than previous studies, with sensitivity to abundance fractions x_HeII = 0.01 in filaments of the cosmic web. The He II optical depths from COS are higher than those with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and range from tau_HeII < 0.02 to tau_HeII > 5, with a slow recovery in mean optical depth, tau < 2 at z < 2.7. The He II/H I optical-depth ratio varies (eta = 10-100 for 2.4 < z < 2.73 and eta = 5-500 for 2.75 < z < 2.89) on scales Delta z < 0.01 (10.8 Mpc in comoving radial distance at z = 2.8), with numerous flux-transmission windows between 1135-1186 A. The He II absorption extends to 1186.26 A (z = 2.905), including associated absorbers with z_abs ~ z_QSO and minimal "proximity effect" of flux transmission at the He II edge. We propose a QSO systemic redshift z_QSO = 2.904 +/- 0.002, some Delta z = 0.019 higher than that derived from O I (1302 A) emission. Three long troughs (4-10 A or 25-60 Mpc comoving distance) of strong He II absorption between z = 2.75-2.90 are uncharacteristic of the intergalactic medium if He II reionized at z_r ~ 3. Contrary to recent indirect estimates (z_r = 3.2 +/- 0.2) from H I optical depths, the epoch of HeII reionization may extend to z ~ 2.7.

By using a suitable transform related to Sobolev inequality, we investigate the sharp constants and optimizers in radial space for the following weighted Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-type inequalities: \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|x|^{\alpha}|\Delta u|^2 dx \geq S^{rad}(N,\alpha)\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|x|^{-\alpha}|u|^{p^*_{\alpha}} dx\right)^{\frac{2}{p^*_{\alpha}}}, \quad u\in C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{equation*} where $N\geq 3$, $4-N<\alpha<2$, $p^*_{\alpha}=\frac{2(N-\alpha)}{N-4+\alpha}$. Then we obtain the explicit form of the unique (up to scaling) radial positive solution $U_{\lambda,\alpha}$ to the weighted fourth-order Hardy (for $\alpha>0$) or H\'{e}non (for $\alpha<0$) equation: \begin{equation*} \Delta(|x|^{\alpha}\Delta u)=|x|^{-\alpha} u^{p^*_{\alpha}-1},\quad u>0 \quad \mbox{in}\quad \mathbb{R}^N. \end{equation*} %Furthermore, we characterize all the solutions to the linearized problem related to above equation at $U_{1,\alpha}$. For $\alpha\neq 0$, it is known the solutions of above equation are invariant for dilations $\lambda^{\frac{N-4+\alpha}{2}}u(\lambda x)$ but not for translations. However we show that if $\alpha$ is an even integer, there exist new solutions to the linearized problem, which related to above equation at $U_{1,\alpha}$, that "replace" the ones due to the translations invariance. This interesting phenomenon was first shown by Gladiali, Grossi and Neves [Adv. Math. 249, 2013, 1-36] for the second-order H\'{e}non problem. Finally, as applications, we investigate the reminder term of above inequality and also the existence of solutions to some related perturbed equations.

CECA is used to show that certain ``almost point- < tau'' families can be refined to point- < tau families by removing a small set from each member of the family.

Recent works have demonstrated great success in pre-training large-scale autoregressive language models on massive GPUs. To reduce the wall-clock training time, a common practice is to increase the batch size and learning rate. However, such practice is often brittle and leads to a so-called stability-efficiency dilemma: increasing the batch sizes and learning rates leads to better training efficiency but can also result in training instability, leading to poor generalization accuracy or failed runs. To better understand this phenomenon, we conduct an in-depth analysis on large-scale pre-training experiments replicating the GPT-2 model. We find that there is a strong correlation between training instability and extreme values of gradient variance, and that samples with long sequence lengths contribute to these extreme gradient variance values, especially at the beginning of the training, indicating that long sequence length can be a main source of training instability. Based on the analysis, we present a Sequence Length Warmup method that aims to solve the training stability-efficiency dilemma. Experiments replicating GPT-2 models show that our approach enables stable training with 8x larger batch size and 4x larger learning rate, whereas the baseline approach struggles with training instability. To achieve the same or better zero-shot evaluation results, our method reduces the required number of training tokens and wall clock time by up to 2.2x and 3.7x, respectively. Experiments replicating GPT-3 model (125M) show that our approach enables stable training with 8x larger batch size and 40x larger learning rate, and retains 99% of the zero-shot accuracy on 11 tasks using 10x less data and 17x less time compared to the original GPT-3 training recipe, while the baseline diverges under the same settings and only retain 95% of accuracy under lower learning rate.

We prove the quantum Zeno effect in open quantum systems whose evolution, governed by quantum dynamical semigroups, is repeatedly and frequently interrupted by the action of a quantum operation. For the case of a quantum dynamical semigroup with a bounded generator, our analysis leads to a refinement of existing results and extends them to a larger class of quantum operations. We also prove the existence of a novel strong quantum Zeno limit for quantum operations for which a certain spectral gap assumption, which all previous results relied on, is lifted. The quantum operations are instead required to satisfy a weaker property of strong power-convergence. In addition, we establish, for the first time, the existence of a quantum Zeno limit for the case of unbounded generators. We also provide a variety of physically interesting examples of quantum operations to which our results apply.

Using a Milne-Eddington inversion, we found many vertically-oriented magnetic flux tubes with field strength as strong as 1 kG that are scattered in latitude between 70-90 degree. They all have the same polarity, consistent with the global polarity of the polar region. The field vectors were observed to diverge from the center of the flux elements, consistent with a view of magnetic fields that expand and fan out with height. The polar region is also covered with ubiquitous horizontal fields. The polar regions are the source of the fast solar wind channelled along unipolar coronal magnetic fields whose photospheric source is evidently rooted in the strong field, vertical patches of flux. We conjecture that vertical flux tubes with large expansion around the photosphere-corona boundary serve as efficient chimneys for Alfven waves that accelerate the solar wind.

The piece-wise parabolic method (PPM) is applied to simulations of forced isotropic turbulence with Mach numbers $\sim 0.1... 1$. The equation of state is dominated by the Fermi pressure of an electron-degenerate fluid. The dissipation in these simulations is of purely numerical origin. For the dimensionless mean rate of dissipation, we find values in agreement with known results from mostly incompressible turbulence simulations. The calculation of a Smagorinsky length corresponding to the rate of numerical dissipation supports the notion of the PPM supplying an implicit subgrid scale model. In the turbulence energy spectra of various flow realisations, we find the so-called bottleneck phenomenon, i.e., a flattening of the spectrum function near the wavenumber of maximal dissipation. The shape of the bottleneck peak in the compensated spectrum functions is comparable to what is found in turbulence simulations with hyperviscosity. Although the bottleneck effect reduces the range of nearly inertial length scales considerably, we are able to estimate the value of the Kolmogorov constant. For steady turbulence with a balance between energy injection and dissipation, it appears that $C\approx 1.7$. However, a smaller value is found in the case of transonic turbulence with a large fraction of compressive components in the driving force. Moreover, we discuss length scales related to the dissipation, in particular, an effective numerical length scale $\Delta_{\mathrm{eff}}$, which can be regarded as the characteristic smoothing length of the implicit filter associated with the PPM.

The scale-resolving simulation of high speed compressible flow through direct numerical simulation (DNS) or large eddy simulation (LES) requires shock-capturing schemes to be more accurate for resolving broadband turbulence and robust for capturing strong shock waves. In this work, we develop a new paradigm of dissipation-controllable, shock capturing scheme to resolve multi-scale flow structures in high speed compressible flow. This novel paradigm of shock-capturing scheme is named as PnTm-BVD-CD. The proposed PnTm-BVD-CD scheme has following desirable properties. First, it can capture large-scale discontinuous structures such as strong shock waves without obvious non-physical oscillations while resolving sharp contact, material interface and shear layer. Secondly, the numerical dissipation property of PnTm-BVD-CD can be effectively controlled between n+1 order upwind-biased scheme and non-dissipative n+2 order central scheme through a simple tunable parameter $\lambda$. Thirdly, with $\lambda=0.5$ the scheme can recover to n+2 order non-dissipative central interpolation for smooth solution over all wavenumber, which is preferable for solving small-scale structures in DNS as well as resolvable-scale in explicit LES. Finally, the under-resolved small-scale can be solved with dissipation controllable algorithm through so-called implicit LES (ILES) approach.

Artificial neural networks will always make a prediction, even when completely uncertain and regardless of the consequences. This obliviousness of uncertainty is a major obstacle towards their adoption in practice. Techniques exist, however, to estimate the two major types of uncertainty: model uncertainty and observation noise in the data. Bayesian neural networks are theoretically well-founded models that can learn the model uncertainty of their predictions. Minor modifications to these models and their loss functions allow learning the observation noise for individual samples as well. This paper is the first to apply these techniques to predictive process monitoring. We found that they contribute towards more accurate predictions and work quickly. However, their main benefit resides with the uncertainty estimates themselves that allow the separation of higher-quality from lower-quality predictions and the building of confidence intervals. This leads to many interesting applications, enables an earlier adoption of prediction systems with smaller datasets and fosters a better cooperation with humans.

Moreover, we prove that the absolute value of the eigenvalue decreases whenever the corresponding partition decreases in the dominance order. In particular, this settles affirmatively a conjecture of Ku and Wales (J. of Combin.

For the period July 2003 to August 2010, the interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) catalogue maintained by Richardson and Cane lists 106 Earth-directed events, which have been measured in-situ by plasma and field instruments onboard the ACE satellite. We present a statistical investigation of the Earth's thermospheric neutral density response by means of accelerometer measurements collected by the GRACE satellites, which are available for 104 ICMEs in the data set, and its relation to various geomagnetic indices and characteristic ICME parameters such as the impact speed, southward magnetic field strength (Bz). The majority of ICMEs causes a distinct density enhancement in the thermosphere, with up to a factor of eight compared to the pre-event level. We find high correlations between ICME Bz and thermospheric density enhancements (~0.9), while the correlation with the ICME impact speed is somewhat smaller (~0.7). The geomagnetic indices revealing the highest correlations are Dst and SYM-H (~0.9), the lowest correlations are obtained for kp and AE (~0.7), which show a nonlinear relation with the thermospheric density enhancements. Separating the response for the shock sheath region and the magnetic structure of the ICME, we find that the Dst and SYM-H reveal a tighter relation to the Bz minimum in the magnetic structure of the ICME, whereas the polar cap indices show higher correlations with the Bz minimum in the shock sheath region. Since the strength of the Bz component - either in the sheath or the magnetic structure of the ICME - is highly correlated (~0.9) with the neutral density enhancement, we discuss the possibility of satellite orbital decay estimates based on magnetic field measurements at L1, i.e. before the ICME hits the Earth's magnetosphere. This will further stimulate progress in space weather understanding and applications regarding satellite operations.

Self-supervised monocular depth estimation methods generally suffer the occlusion fading issue due to the lack of supervision by the per pixel ground truth. Although a post-processing method was proposed by Godard et. al. to reduce the occlusion fading, the compensated results have a severe halo effect. In this paper, we propose a novel Edge-Guided post-processing to reduce the occlusion fading issue for self-supervised monocular depth estimation. We further introduce Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) into the network to reduce the computational costs and improve the inference performance. The proposed ASPP-based network is lighter, faster, and better than current commonly used depth estimation networks. This light-weight network only needs 8.1 million parameters and can achieve up to 40 frames per second for $256\times512$ input in the inference stage using a single nVIDIA GTX1080 GPU. The proposed network also outperforms the current state-of-the-art on the KITTI benchmarks. The ASPP-based network and Edge-Guided post-processing produce better results either quantitatively and qualitatively than the competitors.

Let $H$ be a finite-dimensional connected Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field $\field$ of characteristic $p>0$. We provide the algebra structure of the associated graded Hopf algebra $\gr H$. Then, we study the case when $H$ is generated by a Hopf subalgebra $K$ and another element and the case when $H$ is cocommutative. When $H$ is a restricted universal enveloping algebra, we give a specific basis for the second term of the Hochschild cohomology of the coalgebra $H$ with coefficients in the trivial $H$-bicomodule $\field$. Finally, we classify all connected Hopf algebras of dimension $p^2$ over $\field$.

Knowledge graph embeddings rank among the most successful methods for link prediction in knowledge graphs, i.e., the task of completing an incomplete collection of relational facts. A downside of these models is their strong sensitivity to model hyperparameters, in particular regularizers, which have to be extensively tuned to reach good performance [Kadlec et al., 2017]. We propose an efficient method for large scale hyperparameter tuning by interpreting these models in a probabilistic framework. After a model augmentation that introduces per-entity hyperparameters, we use a variational expectation-maximization approach to tune thousands of such hyperparameters with minimal additional cost. Our approach is agnostic to details of the model and results in a new state of the art in link prediction on standard benchmark data.

We present the first observations of the transverse component of photospheric magnetic field acquired by the imaging magnetograph Sunrise/IMaX. Using an automated detection method, we obtain statistical properties of 4536 features with significant linear polarization signal. Their rate of occurrence is 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than values reported by previous studies. We show that these features have no characteristic size or lifetime. They appear preferentially at granule boundaries with most of them being caught in downflow lanes at some point in their evolution. Only a small percentage are entirely and constantly embedded in upflows (16%) or downflows (8%).

We quantize a scalar field at finite temperature T in the background of a classical black hole, adopting 't Hooft's ``brick wall'' model with generic mixed boundary conditions at the brick wall boundary. We first focus on the exactly solvable case of two dimensional space-time. As expected, the energy density is integrable in the limit of vanishing brick wall thickness only for T=T_H - the Hawking temperature. Consistently with the most general stress energy tensor allowed in this background, the energy density shows a surface contribution localized on the horizon. We point out that the usual divergences occurring in the entropy of the thermal atmosphere are due to the assumption that the third law of thermodynamics holds for the quantum field in the black hole background. Such divergences can be avoided if we abandon this assumption. The entropy density also has a surface term localized on the horizon, which is open to various interpretations. The extension of these results to higher space-time dimensions is briefly discussed.

The successful launch and operation of NASA's Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer open a new era for the multi-wavelength study of the very early afterglow phase of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). GRB early afterglow information is essential to explore the unknown physical composition of GRB jets, the link between the prompt gamma-ray emission and the afterglow emission, the GRB central engine activity, as well as the immediate GRB environment. Here I review some of the recent theoretical efforts to address these problems and describe how the latest Swift data give answers to these outstanding questions.

We report experiments on the dynamics of vibrated particles constrained in a two-dimensional vertical container, motivated by the following question: how to get the most out of a given external vibration to maximize internal disorder (e.g. to blend particles) and agitation (e.g. to absorb vibrations)? Granular media are analogs to classical thermodynamic systems, where the injection of energy can be achieved by shaking them: fluidization arises by tuning either the amplitude or the frequency of the oscillations. Alternatively, we explore what happens when another feature, the container geometry, is modified while keeping constant the energy injection. Our method consists in modifying the container base into a V-shape to break the symmetries of the inner particulate arrangement. The lattice contains a compact hexagonal solid-like crystalline phase coexisting with a loose amorphous fluid-like phase, at any thermal agitation. We show that both the solid-to-fluid volume fraction and the granular temperature depend not only on the external vibration but also on the number of topological defects triggered by the asymmetry of the container. The former relies on the statistics of the energy fluctuations and the latter is consistent with a two-dimensional melting transition described by the KTHNY theory.

This paper deals with the elaboration of global quality standards for natural and low energy cooling in french tropical island buildings. Electric load profiles of tropical islands in developed countries are characterised by morning, midday and evening peaks arising from all year round high power demand in the commercial and residential sectors, mostly due to air conditioning appliances and bad thermal conception of the building. In early 1995, a DSM pilot initiative has been launched in the french islands of Guadeloupe and Reunion through a partnership between the French Public Utility EDF, institutions involved in energy conservation, environment preservation (ADEME) and construction quality improvment, the University of Reunion Island and several other public and private partners (low cost housing institutions, architects, energy consultant, etc...) to set up a standard in the thermal conception of buildings in tropical climates. This has led to definition of optimized bioclimatic urban planning and architectural design, the use of passive cooling architectural components, natural ventilation and energy efficient systems. The impact of each technical solution on the thermal comfort within the building was evaluated with an airflow and thermal building simulation software (CODYRUN). These technical solutions have been edited in a pedagogical reference document and have been implemented in 300 new pilot dwelling projects through the year 1996 in Reunion Island and in Guadeloupe island. An experimental follow up is still in process in the first ECODOM dwellings for an experimental validation of the impact of the passive cooling solutions on the comfort of the occupants and to modify them if necessary.

We study the existence of tangent lines, i.e. subsets of the tangent space isometric to the real line, in tangent spaces of metric spaces. We first revisit the almost everywhere metric differentiability of Lipschitz continuous curves. We then show that any blow-up done at a point of metric differentiability and of density one for the domain of the curve gives a tangent line. Metric differentiability enjoys a Borel measurability property and this will permit us to use it in the framework of Lipschitz differentiability spaces. We show that any tangent space of a Lipschitz differentiability space contains at least $n$ distinct tangent lines, obtained as the blow-up of $n$ Lipschitz curves, where $n$ is the dimension of the local measurable chart. Under additional assumptions on the space, such as curvature lower bounds, these $n$ distinct tangent lines span an $n$-dimensional part of the tangent space.

A straightforward approach to context-aware neural machine translation consists in feeding the standard encoder-decoder architecture with a window of consecutive sentences, formed by the current sentence and a number of sentences from its context concatenated to it. In this work, we propose an improved concatenation approach that encourages the model to focus on the translation of the current sentence, discounting the loss generated by target context. We also propose an additional improvement that strengthen the notion of sentence boundaries and of relative sentence distance, facilitating model compliance to the context-discounted objective. We evaluate our approach with both average-translation quality metrics and contrastive test sets for the translation of inter-sentential discourse phenomena, proving its superiority to the vanilla concatenation approach and other sophisticated context-aware systems.

The information causality principle is a generalisation of the no-signalling principle which implies some of the known restrictions on quantum correlations. But despite its clear physical motivation, information causality is formulated in terms of a rather specialised game and figure of merit. We explore different perspectives on information causality, discussing the probability of success as the figure of merit, a relation between information causality and the non-local `inner-product game', and the derivation of a quadratic bound for these games. We then examine an entropic formulation of information causality with which one can obtain the same results, arguably in a simpler fashion.

Let $\pi$ be a simple supercuspidal representation of the symplectic group $Sp_{2l}(F)$, over a $p$-adic field $F$. In this work, we explicitly compute the Rankin-Selberg $\gamma$-factor of rank-$1$ twists of $\pi$. We then completely determine the Langlands parameter of $\pi$, if $p \neq 2$. In the case that $F = \mathbb{Q}_2$, we give a conjectural description of the functorial lift of $\pi$, with which, using a recent work of Bushnell and Henniart, one can obtain its Langlands parameter.

Adaptive randomly reinforced urn (ARRU) is a two-color urn model where the updating process is defined by a sequence of non-negative random vectors $\{(D_{1,n}, D_{2,n});n\geq1\}$ and randomly evolving thresholds which utilize accruing statistical information for the updates. Let $m_1=E[D_{1,n}]$ and $m_2=E[D_{2,n}]$. Motivated by applications, in this paper we undertake a detailed study of the dynamics of the ARRU model. First, for the case $m_1 \neq m_2$, we establish $L_1$ bounds on the increments of the urn proportion at fixed and increasing times under very weak assumptions on the random threshold sequence. As a consequence, we deduce weak consistency of the evolving urn proportions. Second, under slightly stronger conditions, we establish the strong consistency of the urn proportions for all finite values of $m_1$ and $m_2$. Specifically, we show that when $m_1=m_2$ the proportion converges to a non-degenerate random variable. Third, we establish the asymptotic distribution, after appropriate centering and scaling, of the proportion of sampled balls in the case $m_1=m_2$. In the process, we settle the issue of asymptotic distribution of the number of sampled balls for a randomly reinforced urn (RRU). To address the technical issues, we establish results on the harmonic moments of the total number of balls in the urn at different times under very weak conditions, which is of independent interest.

In this paper, we consider matrices whose inverses are tridiagonal Z--matrices. Based on a characterization of symmetric tridiagonal matrices by Gantmacher and Krein, we show that a matrix is the inverse of a tridiagonal Z--matrix if and only if, up to a positive scaling of the rows, it is the Hadamard product of a so called weak type $\D$ matrix and a flipped weak type $\D$ matrix whose parameters satisfy certain quadratic conditions. We predict from these parameters to which class of Z--matrices the inverse belongs to. In particular, we give a characterization of inverse tridiagonal M--matrices. Moreover, we characterize inverses of tridiagonal M--matrices that satisfy certain row sum criteria. This leads to the cyclopses that are matrices constructed from type $\D$ and flipped type $\D$ matrices. We establish some properties of the cyclopses and provide explicit formulae for the entries of the inverse of a nonsingular cyclops. We also show that the cyclopses are the only generalized ultrametric matrices whose inverses are tridiagonal.

The partition function of a three-dimensional $\mathcal{N} =2$ theory on the manifold $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$, an $S^1$ bundle of degree $p$ over a closed Riemann surface $\Sigma_g$, was recently computed via supersymmetric localization. In this paper, we compute these partition functions at large $N$ in a class of quiver gauge theories with holographic M-theory duals. We provide the supergravity bulk dual having as conformal boundary such three-dimensional circle bundles. These configurations are solutions to $\mathcal{N}=2$ minimal gauged supergravity and pertain to the class of Taub-NUT-AdS and Taub-Bolt-AdS preserving $1/4$ of the supersymmetries. We discuss the conditions for the uplift of these solutions to M-theory, and compute the on-shell action via holographic renormalization. We show that the uplift condition and on-shell action for the Bolt solutions are correctly reproduced by the large $N$ limit of the partition function of the dual superconformal field theory. In particular, the $\Sigma_g \times S^1 \cong \mathcal{M}_{g,0}$ partition function, which was recently shown to match the entropy of $AdS_4$ black holes, and the $S^3 \cong \mathcal{M}_{0,1}$ free energy, occur as special cases of our formalism, and we comment on relations between them.

In this paper we study the complexity of the problems: given a loop, described by linear constraints over a finite set of variables, is there a linear or lexicographical-linear ranking function for this loop? While existence of such functions implies termination, these problems are not equivalent to termination. When the variables range over the rationals (or reals), it is known that both problems are PTIME decidable. However, when they range over the integers, whether for single-path or multipath loops, the complexity has not yet been determined. We show that both problems are coNP-complete. However, we point out some special cases of importance of PTIME complexity. We also present complete algorithms for synthesizing linear and lexicographical-linear ranking functions, both for the general case and the special PTIME cases. Moreover, in the rational setting, our algorithm for synthesizing lexicographical-linear ranking functions extends existing ones, because our class of ranking functions is more general, yet it has polynomial time complexity.

Electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus an energetic photon from initial state radiation allows the hadronic cross-section to be measured over a wide range of energies. The full next-to-leading order QED corrections for the cross-section for e^+ e^- annihilation into a real tagged photon and a virtual photon converting into hadrons are calculated where the tagged photon is radiated off the initial electron or positron. This includes virtual and soft photon corrections to the process e^+ e^- \to \gamma +\gamma^* and the emission of two real hard photons: e^+ e^- \to \gamma + \gamma + \gamma^*. A Monte Carlo generator has been constructed, which incorporates these corrections and simulates the production of two charged pions or muons plus one or two photons. Predictions are presented for centre-of-mass energies between 1 and 10 GeV, corresponding to the energies of DAPHNE, CLEO-C and B-meson factories.

Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are important targets for future space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as the Laser Interferometer Sapce Antenna (LISA). Recent works suggest that EMRI may reside in a population of newly discovered X-ray transients called "quasi-periodic eruptions" (QPEs). Here we follow this scenario and investigate the detectability of the five recently discovered QPEs by LISA. We consider two specific models in which the QPEs are made of either stellar-mass objects moving on circular orbits around massive black holes (MBHs) or white dwarfs (WDs) on eccentric orbits around MBHs. We find that in either case each QPE is too weak to be resolvable by LISA. However, if QPEs are made of eccentric WD-MBH binaries, they radiate GWs in a wide range of frequencies. The broad spectra overlap to form a background which, between $0.003-0.02$ Hz, exceeds the background known to exist due to other types of sources. Presence of this GW background in the LISA band could impact the future search for the seed black holes at high redshift as well as the stellar-mass binary black holes in the local universe.

The paper illustrates the research result of the application of semantic technology to ease the use and reuse of digital contents exposed as Linked Data on the web. It focuses on the specific issue of explorative research for the resource selection: a context dependent semantic similarity assessment is proposed in order to compare datasets annotated through terminologies exposed as Linked Data (e.g. habitats, species). Semantic similarity is shown as a building block technology to sift linked data resources. From semantic similarity application, we derived a set of recommendations underlying open issues in scaling the similarity assessment up to the Web of Data.

Permanental sequences with non-symmetric kernels that are generalization of the potentials of a Markov chain with state space $\{0,1/2, \ldots, 1/n,\ldots\}$ that was introduced by Kolmogorov, are studied. Depending on a parameter in the kernels we obtain an exact rate of divergence of the sequence at $0$, an exact local modulus of continuity of the sequence at $0$, or a precise bounded discontinuity for the sequence at $0$.

Local Quantile Regression

Quantile regression is a technique to estimate conditional quantile curves. It provides a comprehensive picture of a response contingent on explanatory variables. In a flexible modeling framework, a specific form of the conditional quantile curve is not a priori fixed. % Indeed, the majority of applications do not per se require specific functional forms. This motivates a local parametric rather than a global fixed model fitting approach. A nonparametric smoothing estimator of the conditional quantile curve requires to balance between local curvature and stochastic variability. In this paper, we suggest a local model selection technique that provides an adaptive estimator of the conditional quantile regression curve at each design point. Theoretical results claim that the proposed adaptive procedure performs as good as an oracle which would minimize the local estimation risk for the problem at hand. We illustrate the performance of the procedure by an extensive simulation study and consider a couple of applications: to tail dependence analysis for the Hong Kong stock market and to analysis of the distributions of the risk factors of temperature dynamics.

We show that shunt capacitor stabilizes synchronized oscillations in intrinsic Josephson junction stacks biased by DC current. This synchronization mechanism has an effect similar to the previously discussed radiative coupling between junctions, however, it is not defined by the geometry of the stack. It is particularly important in crystals with smaller number of junctions, where radiation coupling is week, and is comparable with the effect of strong super-radiation in crystal with many junctions. The shunt also helps to enter the phase-locked regime in the beginning of oscillations, after switching on the bias current. Shunt may be used to tune radiation power, which drops as shunt capacitance increases.

In this paper, we show that the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the spectral discretisation matrices resulted from the Legendre dual-Petrov-Galerkin (LDPG) method for the $m$th-order initial value problem (IVP): $u^{(m)}(t)=\sigma u(t),\, t\in (-1,1)$ with constant $\sigma\not=0$ and usual initial conditions at $t=-1,$ are associated with the generalised Bessel polynomials (GBPs). The essential idea of the analysis is to properly construct the basis functions for the solution and its dual spaces so that the matrix of the $m$th derivative is an identity matrix, and the mass matrix is then identical or approximately equals to the Jacobi matrix of the three-term recurrence of GBPs with specific integer parameters. This allows us to characterise the eigenvalue distributions and identify the eigenvectors. As a by-product, we are able to answer some open questions related to the very limited known results on the collocation method at Legendre points (studied in 1980s) for the first-order IVP, by reformulating it into a Petrov-Galerkin formulation. Moreover, we present two stable algorithms for computing zeros of the GBPs, and develop a general space-time spectral method for evolutionary PDEs using either the matrix diagonalisation, which is restricted to a small number of unknowns in time due to the ill-conditioning but is fully parallel, or the QZ decomposition which is numerically stable for a large number of unknowns in time but involves sequential computations. We provide ample numerical results to demonstrate the high accuracy and robustness of the space-time spectral methods for some interesting examples of linear and nonlinear wave problems.

QCD predictions for moments of multiplicity distributions are compared with experimental data on e+e- collisions and their two-NBD fits. Moments of the multiplicity distribution in a two-NBD model for 1.8 TeV pp collisions are considered. Three-NBD model predictions and fits for pp at LHC energies are also discussed. Analytic expressions for moments of hybrid NBD are derived and used to get insight into jet parameters and multicomponent structure of the processes. Interpretation of observed correlations is proposed.

Factoid question answering (QA) has recently benefited from the development of deep learning (DL) systems. Neural network models outperform traditional approaches in domains where large datasets exist, such as SQuAD (ca. 100,000 questions) for Wikipedia articles. However, these systems have not yet been applied to QA in more specific domains, such as biomedicine, because datasets are generally too small to train a DL system from scratch. For example, the BioASQ dataset for biomedical QA comprises less then 900 factoid (single answer) and list (multiple answers) QA instances. In this work, we adapt a neural QA system trained on a large open-domain dataset (SQuAD, source) to a biomedical dataset (BioASQ, target) by employing various transfer learning techniques. Our network architecture is based on a state-of-the-art QA system, extended with biomedical word embeddings and a novel mechanism to answer list questions. In contrast to existing biomedical QA systems, our system does not rely on domain-specific ontologies, parsers or entity taggers, which are expensive to create. Despite this fact, our systems achieve state-of-the-art results on factoid questions and competitive results on list questions.

While the use of this polarization meets certain difficulties, it should be considered as an alternative or supplementary possibility of fulfilling the EDM experiment.

The Hardy-Littlewood maximal function $\mathcal{M}$ and the trigonometric function $\sin{x}$ are two central objects in harmonic analysis. We prove that $\mathcal{M}$ characterizes $\sin{x}$ in the following way: let $f \in C^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R})$ be a periodic function and $\alpha > 1/2$. If there exists a real number $0 < \gamma < \infty$ such that the averaging operator $$ (A_xf)(r) = \frac{1}{2r}\int_{x-r}^{x+r}{f(z)dz}$$ has a critical point in $r = \gamma$ for every $x \in \mathbb{R}$, then $$f(x) = a+b\sin{(cx + d)} \qquad \mbox{for some}~a,b,c,d \in \mathbb{R}.$$ This statement can be used to derive a characterization of trigonometric functions as those nonconstant functions for which the computation of the maximal function $\mathcal{M}$ is as simple as possible. The proof uses the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem from transcendental number theory.

Single inclusive forward hadron production in high-energy hadron collisions can provide an important test of the Color Glass Condensate picture at small $x$. Recent studies of this process at next-to-leading order have led to problematic results, with cross sections becoming negative at large transverse momenta. We study a new formulation of this quantity proposed recently by Iancu et al. We show that it leads to physical results up to large transverse momenta at fixed coupling. Taking into account running coupling effects in a way that is consistent with existing DIS calculations still poses a challenge.

This paper is about the construction of displacement interpolations on a discrete metric graph. Our approach is based on the approximation of any optimal transport problem whose cost function is a distance on a discrete graph by a sequence of Schr\"odinger problems associated with random walks whose jump frequencies tend down to zero. Displacement interpolations are defined as the limit of the time-marginal flows of the solutions to the Schr\"odinger problems. This allows to work with these interpolations by doing stochastic calculus on the approximating random walks which are regular objects, and then to pass to the limit in a slowing down procedure. The main convergence results are based on Gamma-convergence of entropy minimization problems. As a by-product, we obtain new results about optimal transport on graphs.

Assume further that the corresponding Ricci scalars satisfy either R + (phi^4).R' >= 0 or R - (phi^4).R' >= 0. Then the corresponding masses satisfy m + m' >= 0 or m - m' >= 0, respectively. Moreover, in the case of the minus signs, equality holds iff g and g' are isometric, whereas for the plus signs equality holds iff both (N,g) and (N,g') are flat Euclidean spaces. While the proof of the case with the minus signs is rather obvious, the case with the plus signs requires a subtle extension of Witten's proof of the standard positive mass theorem. The idea for this extension is due to Masood-ul-Alam who, in the course of an application, proved the rigidity part m + m' = 0 of this theorem, for a special conformal factor. We observe that Masood-ul-Alam's method extends to the general situation.

We formulate a Yang-Mills action principle for noncommutative connections on an endomorphism algebra of a vector bundle. It is shown that there is an influence of the topology of the vector bundle onto the structure of the vacuums of the theory in a non common way. This model displays a new kind of symmetry breaking mechanism. Some mathematical tools are developed in relation with endomorphism algebras and a new approach of the usual Chern-Weil homomorphism in topology is given.

Syntax Matters! Syntax-Controlled in Text Style Transfer

Existing text style transfer (TST) methods rely on style classifiers to disentangle the text's content and style attributes for text style transfer. While the style classifier plays a critical role in existing TST methods, there is no known investigation on its effect on the TST methods. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study on the limitations of the style classifiers used in existing TST methods. We demonstrate that the existing style classifiers cannot learn sentence syntax effectively and ultimately worsen existing TST models' performance. To address this issue, we propose a novel Syntax-Aware Controllable Generation (SACG) model, which includes a syntax-aware style classifier that ensures learned style latent representations effectively capture the syntax information for TST. Through extensive experiments on two popular TST tasks, we show that our proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Our case studies have also demonstrated SACG's ability to generate fluent target-style sentences that preserved the original content.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a method for computing the allocated Solvency II Capital Requirement (SCR) of each Risk which the company is exposed to, taking in account for the diversification effect among different risks. The method suggested is based on the Euler principle. We show that it has very suitable properties like coherence in the sense of Denault (2001) and RORAC compatibility, and practical implications for the companies that use the standard formula. Further, we show how this approach can be used to evaluate the underwriting and reinsurance policies and to define a measure of the Company's risk appetite, based on the capital at risk return.

We report on the observation of emerging beam resonances, well known as Rayleigh-Wood anomalies and threshold resonances in photon and electron diffraction, respectively, in an atom-optical diffraction experiment. Diffraction of He atom beams reflected from a blazed ruled grating at grazing incidence has been investigated. The total reflectivity of the grating as well as the intensities of the diffracted beams reveal anomalies at the Rayleigh angles of incidence, i.e., when another diffracted beam merges parallel to the grating surface. The observed anomalies are discussed in terms of the classical wave-optical model of Rayleigh and Fano.

We revisit the Hanany-Witten brane construction of 3d gauge theories with N=2 supersymmetry. Instantons are known to generate a superpotential on the Coulomb branch of the theory. We show that this superpotential can be viewed as arising from the classical scattering of domain wall solitons. The domain walls live on the worldvolume of the fivebranes and their existence relies on the recent observation that the charged hypermultiplet at the intersection of perpendicular D-branes has non-canonical kinetic terms. We further show how Dp branes may be absorbed at the intersection of perpendicular D(p+4)-branes where they appear as BPS sigma-model lumps.

The Greene-Magnanti theorem states that if $ M $ is a finite matroid, $ B_0 $ and $ B_1 $ are bases and $ B_0=\bigcup_{i=1}^{n} X_i $ is a partition, then there is a partition $ B_1=\bigcup_{i=1}^{n}Y_i $ such that $ (B_0 \setminus X_i) \cup Y_i $ is a base for every $ i $. The special case where each $ X_i $ is a singleton can be rephrased as the existence of a perfect matching in the base transition graph. Pouzet conjectured that this remains true in infinite dimensional vector spaces. Later he and Aharoni answered this conjecture affirmatively not just for vector spaces but for infinite matroids. We prove two generalisations of their result. On the one hand, we show that `being a singleton' can be relaxed to `being finite' and this is sharp in the sense the exclusion of infinite sets is really necessary. On the other hand, we prove that if $ B_0$ and $ B_1 $ are bases, then there is a bijection $ F $ between their finite subsets such that $ (B_0\setminus I) \cup F(I) $ is a base for every $ I$. In contrast to the approach of Aharoni and Pouzet, our proofs are completely elementary, they do not rely on infinite matching theory.

Detailed studies of intermediate/low mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars outside the Galaxy have so far been conducted only for small targeted regions harbouring known star formation complexes. The VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC) provides an opportunity to study PMS populations down to solar masses on a galaxy-wide scale. Our goal is to use near-infrared data from the VMC survey to identify and characterise PMS populations down to ~1 M_sun across the Magellanic Clouds. We present our colour-magnitude diagram method, and apply it to a ~1.5 deg^2 pilot field located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The pilot field is divided into equally-sized grid elements. We compare the stellar population in every element with the population in nearby control fields by creating K_s/(Y-K_s) Hess diagrams; the observed density excesses over the local field population are used to classify the stellar populations. Our analysis recovers all known star formation complexes in this pilot field (N44, N51, N148 and N138) and for the first time reveals their true spatial extent. In total, around 2260 PMS candidates with ages $\lesssim$ 10 Myr are found in the pilot field. PMS structures, identified as areas with a significant density excess of PMS candidates, display a power-law distribution of the number of members with a slope of -0.86+-0.12. We find a clustering of the young stellar populations along ridges and filaments where dust emission in the far-infrared (FIR) (70 micron - 500 micron) is bright. Regions with young populations lacking massive stars show a lesser degree of clustering and are usually located in the outskirts of the star formation complexes. At short FIR wavelengths (70 micron, 100 micron) we report a strong dust emission increase in regions hosting young massive stars, which is less pronounced in regions populated only by less massive ($\lesssim$ 4 M_sun) PMS stars.

Spoofing Attack Detection in the Physical Layer with Commutative Neural Networks

In a spoofing attack, an attacker impersonates a legitimate user to access or tamper with data intended for or produced by the legitimate user. In wireless communication systems, these attacks may be detected by relying on features of the channel and transmitter radios. In this context, a popular approach is to exploit the dependence of the received signal strength (RSS) at multiple receivers or access points with respect to the spatial location of the transmitter. Existing schemes rely on long-term estimates, which makes it difficult to distinguish spoofing from movement of a legitimate user. This limitation is here addressed by means of a deep neural network that implicitly learns the distribution of pairs of short-term RSS vector estimates. The adopted network architecture imposes the invariance to permutations of the input (commutativity) that the decision problem exhibits. The merits of the proposed algorithm are corroborated on a data set that we collected.

Compressible flows around blunt objects have diverse applications, but present analytic treatments are inaccurate and limited to narrow parameter regimes. We show that the flow in front of an axisymmetric body is accurately derived analytically using a low order expansion of the perpendicular gradients in terms of the parallel velocity. This reproduces both subsonic and supersonic flows measured and simulated for a sphere, including the transonic regime and the bow shock properties.

The Ep,i - Eiso correlation is one of the most intriguing and debated observational evidences in Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) astrophysics. Swift, with its high sensitivity and fast pointing capabilities, is reducing a lot the impact of selection effects in the sample of GRBs with known redshift (and thus Ep,i and Eiso). Moreover, in several cases it allows the detection of the soft tail of the prompt emission, and thus a more accurate estimate of Ep,i with respect to previous satellites. I present and discuss the location in the Ep,i - Eiso plane of Swift GRBs with known redshift and estimated Ep,i, showing that all long events (including peculiar events like GRB060218 and GRB060614) are consistent with the Ep,i - Eiso correlation. In contrast, short GRBs are not consistent with it, an evidence further supporting the hypothesis of different emission mechanisms at work in the two classes of GRBs. I also show, and briefly discuss, the intriguing evidence that the soft tail of the short GRB050724 is consistent with the correlation.

In particular, we establish the relevant local functional equation at Archimedean places and prove the equality between Rankin-Selberg's and Langlands-Shahidi's $\epsilon$-factors at every place. Our proofs work uniformly for any characteristic zero local field and use as only input the global functional equation and a globalization result for a dense subset of tempered representations that we infer from work of Finis-Lapid-M\"uller. These results are used in another paper by the author to establish an explicit Plancherel decomposition for $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)\backslash \mathrm{GL}_n(E)$, $E/F$ a quadratic extension of local fields, with applications to the Ichino-Ikeda and formal degree conjecture for unitary groups.

We show, though, that the presence of multiple warping offers a natural resolution of this conundrum through modifications in both the graviton spectrum and their couplings to the Standard Model fields.

The Kohn-Sham gaps of density functional theory (DFT) obtained in terms of local density approximation (LDA) or generalized gradient approximation (GGA) cannot be directly linked to the fundamental gaps of semiconductors, but in engineering there is a strong demand to match them through certain rectification methods. Shell DFT-1/2 (shDFT-1/2), as a variant of DFT-1/2, is a potential candidate to yield much improved band gaps for covalent semiconductors, but its accuracy depends on the LDA/GGA ground state, including optimized lattice parameters, basic Kohn-Sham gap before self-energy correction and the amount of self-energy correction that is specific to the exchange-correlation (XC) functional. In this work, we test the LDA/GGA as well as shDFT-1/2 results of six technically important covalent semiconductors Si, Ge, GaN, GaP, GaAs and GaSb, with an additional ionic insulator LiF for comparison. The impact of XC flavor (LDA, PBEsol, PBE and RPBE), either directly on the gap value, or indirectly through the optimized lattice constant, is examined comprehensively. Moreover, we test the impact of XC flavor on LDA/GGA and shDFT-1/2 gaps under the condition of fixed experimental lattice constants. In-depth analysis reveals the rule of reaching the best accuracy in calculating the electronic band structures of typical covalent semiconductors. Relevant parameters like lattice constant, self-consistency in shDFT-1/2 runs, as well as the exchange enhancement factor of GGA, are discussed in details.

The Quantizer problem is a tessellation optimisation problem where point configurations are identified such that the Voronoi cells minimise the second moment of the volume distribution. While the ground state (optimal state) in 3D is almost certainly the body-centered cubic lattice, disordered and effectively hyperuniform states with energies very close to the ground state exist that result as stable states in an evolution through the geometric Lloyd's algorithm [Klatt et al. Nat. Commun., 10, 811 (2019)]. When considered as a statistical mechanics problem at finite temperature, the same system has been termed the 'Voronoi Liquid' by [Ruscher et al. EPL 112, 66003 (2015)]. Here we investigate the cooling behaviour of the Voronoi liquid with a particular view to the stability of the effectively hyperuniform disordered state. As a confirmation of the results by Ruscher et al., we observe, by both molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, that upon slow quasi-static equilibrium cooling, the Voronoi liquid crystallises from a disordered configuration into the body-centered cubic configuration. By contrast, upon sufficiently fast non-equilibrium cooling (and not just in the limit of a maximally fast quench) the Voronoi liquid adopts similar states as the effectively hyperuniform inherent structures identified by Klatt et al. and prevents the ordering transition into a BCC ordered structure. This result is in line with the geometric intuition that the geometric Lloyd's algorithm corresponds to a type of fast quench.

Hereby we show that there is a third possible alternative, based on the generalization of the classical ("Boltzmann-Schuetz") anthropic fluctuation picture of the origin of the perceived entropy gradient. This alternative (which we dub the Acausal-Anthropic approach) is based on accepting Boltzmann's statistical measure at its face value, and accomodating it within the quantum cosmological concept of the multiverse. We argue that conventional objections raised against the Boltzmann-Schuetz view are less forceful and serious than it is usually assumed. A fortiori, they are incapable of rendering the generalized theory untenable. On the contrary, this analysis highlights some of the other advantages of the multiverse approach to the thermodynamical arrow of time.

Local scale transformations are made to vary the long range properties of harmonic oscillator orbitals conventionally used in model structure calculations of nuclear systems. The transformations ensure that those oscillator states asymptotically have exponentially decaying forms consistent with chosen single nucleon binding energies, leaving the structure essentially unchanged within the body of the nucleus. Application has been made to the radioactive nuclei 6,8He and 11Li and the resulting wave functions are used to generate g-folding optical potentials for elastic scattering of those ions from hydrogen. As a consistency test, application has been made to form wave functions for 40Ca and they have been used also to specify relevant proton-40Ca optical potentials with which elastic scattering has been predicted. The need for appropriate specifications of single particle binding energies in exotic nuclei is discussed.

Passenger flow allows the study of users' behavior through the public network and assists in designing new facilities and services. This flow is observed through interactions between passengers and infrastructure. For this task, Bluetooth technology and smartphones represent the ideal solution. The latter component allows users' identification, authentication, and billing, while the former allows short-range implicit interactions, device-to-device. To assess the potential of such a use case, we need to verify how robust Bluetooth signal and related machine learning (ML) classifiers are against the noise of realistic contexts. Therefore, we model binary passenger states with respect to a public vehicle, where one can either be-in or be-out (BIBO). The BIBO label identifies a fundamental building block of continuously-valued passenger flow. This paper describes the Human-Computer interaction experimental setting in a semi-controlled environment, which involves: two autonomous vehicles operating on two routes, serving three bus stops and eighteen users, as well as a proprietary smartphone-Bluetooth sensing platform. The resulting dataset includes multiple sensors' measurements of the same event and two ground-truth levels, the first being validation by participants, the second by three video-cameras surveilling buses and track. We performed a Monte-Carlo simulation of labels-flip to emulate human errors in the labeling process, as is known to happen in smartphone surveys; next we used such flipped labels for supervised training of ML classifiers. The impact of errors on model performance bias can be large. Results show ML tolerance to label flips caused by human or machine errors up to 30%.

We report the synthesis and magneto-transport measurements on the single crystal of Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$. The de Haas-van Alphen oscillations with multiple frequencies have been clearly observed, from which the small effective masses and nontrivial Berry phase are extracted, implying the possible existence of the Dirac fermions in PdTe$_2$. The planar Hall effect and anisotropic longitudinal resistivity originating from the chiral anomaly and nontrivial Berry phase are observed, providing strong evidence for the nontrivial properties in PdTe$_2$. With the increase of temperature up to 150 K, planar Hall effect still remains. The possible origin of mismatch between experimental results and theoretical predictions is also discussed.

MRTNet: Multi-Resolution Temporal Network for Video Sentence Grounding

Given an untrimmed video and natural language query, video sentence grounding aims to localize the target temporal moment in the video. Existing methods mainly tackle this task by matching and aligning semantics of the descriptive sentence and video segments on a single temporal resolution, while neglecting the temporal consistency of video content in different resolutions. In this work, we propose a novel multi-resolution temporal video sentence grounding network: MRTNet, which consists of a multi-modal feature encoder, a Multi-Resolution Temporal (MRT) module, and a predictor module. MRT module is an encoder-decoder network, and output features in the decoder part are in conjunction with Transformers to predict the final start and end timestamps. Particularly, our MRT module is hot-pluggable, which means it can be seamlessly incorporated into any anchor-free models. Besides, we utilize a hybrid loss to supervise cross-modal features in MRT module for more accurate grounding in three scales: frame-level, clip-level and sequence-level. Extensive experiments on three prevalent datasets have shown the effectiveness of MRTNet.

In this paper we present a geometric multigrid method with Jacobi and Vanka relaxation for hybridized and embedded discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of the Laplacian. We present a local Fourier analysis (LFA) of the two-grid error-propagation operator and show that the multigrid method applied to an embedded discontinuous Galerkin (EDG) discretization is almost as efficient as when applied to a continuous Galerkin discretization. We furthermore show that multigrid applied to an EDG discretization outperforms multigrid applied to a hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) discretization. Numerical examples verify our LFA predictions.

In recent years, research in text summarization has mainly focused on the news domain, where texts are typically short and have strong layout features. The task of full-book summarization presents additional challenges which are hard to tackle with current resources, due to their limited size and availability in English only. To overcome these limitations, we present "Echoes from Alexandria", or in shortened form, "Echoes", a large resource for multilingual book summarization. Echoes features three novel datasets: i) Echo-Wiki, for multilingual book summarization, ii) Echo-XSum, for extremely-compressive multilingual book summarization, and iii) Echo-FairySum, for extractive book summarization. To the best of our knowledge, Echoes, with its thousands of books and summaries, is the largest resource, and the first to be multilingual, featuring 5 languages and 25 language pairs. In addition to Echoes, we also introduce a new extractive-then-abstractive baseline, and, supported by our experimental results and manual analysis of the summaries generated, we argue that this baseline is more suitable for book summarization than purely-abstractive approaches. We release our resource and software at https://github.com/Babelscape/echoes-from-alexandria in the hope of fostering innovative research in multilingual book summarization.

Sufficiently disordered metals display systematic deviations from the behavior predicted by semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory. Here the scattering events from impurities or thermal excitations can no longer be considered as additive independent processes, as asserted by Matthiessen's rule following from this picture. In the intermediate region between the regime of good conduction and that of insulation, one typically finds a change of sign of the temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR), even at elevated temperature spanning ambient conditions, a phenomenology that was first identified by Mooij in 1973. Traditional weak coupling approaches to identify relevant corrections to the Boltzmann picture focused on long distance interference effects such as "weak localization", which are especially important in low dimensions (1D, 2D) and close to the zero temperature limit. Here we formulate a strong-coupling approach to tackle the interplay of strong disorder and lattice deformations (phonons) in bulk three-dimensional metals at high temperatures. We identify a polaronic mechanism of strong disorder renormalization, which describes how a lattice locally responds to the relevant impurity potential. This mechanism, which quantitatively captures the Mooij regime, is physically distinct and unrelated to Anderson localization, but realizes early seminal ideas of Anderson himself, concerning the interplay of disorder and lattice deformations.

R2H: Building Multimodal Navigation Helpers that Respond to Help

The ability to assist humans during a navigation task in a supportive role is crucial for intelligent agents. Such agents, equipped with environment knowledge and conversational abilities, can guide individuals through unfamiliar terrains by generating natural language responses to their inquiries, grounded in the visual information of their surroundings. However, these multimodal conversational navigation helpers are still underdeveloped. This paper proposes a new benchmark, Respond to Help (R2H), to build multimodal navigation helpers that can respond to help, based on existing dialog-based embodied datasets. R2H mainly includes two tasks: (1) Respond to Dialog History (RDH), which assesses the helper agent's ability to generate informative responses based on a given dialog history, and (2) Respond during Interaction (RdI), which evaluates the helper agent's ability to maintain effective and consistent cooperation with a task performer agent during navigation in real-time. Furthermore, we propose a novel task-oriented multimodal response generation model that can see and respond, named SeeRee, as the navigation helper to guide the task performer in embodied tasks. Through both automatic and human evaluations, we show that SeeRee produces more effective and informative responses than baseline methods in assisting the task performer with different navigation tasks.

The coefficients for the flow vector squared and flow magnitude squared could be used for the extraction of flow angle decorrelations. We compare our model results with preliminary experimental data. We also present the predictions for the momentum dependent correlation between mixed flow harmonics.

Optimal performance of thermal machines is reached by suppressing friction. Friction in quantum thermodynamics results from fast driving schemes that generate nonadiabatic excitations. The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of quantum devices can be tailored by shortcuts to adiabaticity to suppress quantum friction. We experimentally demonstrate friction-free superadiabatic strokes with a trapped unitary Fermi gas as a working substance and establish the equivalence between the superadiabatic mean work and its adiabatic value.

It has been argued that recycled gas from stellar mass loss in galaxies might serve as an important fuelling source for black holes (BHs) in their centers. Utilizing spectroscopic samples of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) at $z = 0-0.35$ and the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C) survey at $z = 0.6-1$ that have X-ray coverage from XMM-Newton or Chandra, we test this stellar mass loss fuelling scenario by investigating how AGN activity and BH growth vary with the break strength at 4000 $\r{A}$, $\rm D_{n}4000$ (which is closely related to the age of stellar populations), as younger galaxies are considered to have higher stellar mass loss rates. We found that when controlling for host-galaxy properties, the fraction of log $L_{\rm X}$/$M_\star$ > 32 (which roughly corresponds to Eddington ratios $\gtrsim 1$%) AGN and sample-averaged black hole accretion rate ($\rm \overline{BHAR}$) decrease with $\rm D_{n}4000$ among $\rm D_{n}4000$ $\lesssim$ 1.9 galaxies, suggesting a higher level of AGN activity among younger galaxies, which supports the stellar mass loss fuelling scenario. For the oldest and most massive galaxies at $z = 0-0.35$, this decreasing trend is not present anymore. We found that, among these most massive galaxies at low redshift, the fraction of low specific-accretion-rate (31 $<$ log $L_{\rm X}$/$M_\star$ $<$ 32) AGNs increases with $\rm D_{n}4000$, which may be associated with additional fuelling from hot halo gas and/or enhanced accretion capability.

It is shown that the description of light beams in terms of the corresponding photon quantum numbers elucidates the properties of these beams. In particular, this description shows that the helicity quantum number plays the fundamental role. This mode of description is applied to twisted and knotted electromagnetic waves. We concentrate on the cases where photon wave functions are eigenfunctions of one component of angular momentum. We discovered that for knotted waves the eigenvalue of the angular momentum determines the topology of knots.
