The convective envelopes of solar-type stars and the convective cores of intermediate- and high-mass stars share boundaries with stable radiative zones. Through a host of processes we collectively refer to as "convective boundary mixing" (CBM), convection can drive efficient mixing in these nominally stable regions. In this review, we discuss the current state of CBM research in the context of main-sequence stars through three lenses. (1) We examine the most frequently implemented 1D prescriptions of CBM -- exponential overshoot, step overshoot, and convective penetration -- and we include a discussion of implementation degeneracies and how to convert between various prescriptions. (2) Next, we examine the literature of CBM from a fluid dynamical perspective, with a focus on three distinct processes: convective overshoot, entrainment, and convective penetration. (3) Finally, we discuss observational inferences regarding how much mixing should occur in the cores of intermediate- and high-mass stars, and the implied constraints that these observations place on 1D CBM implementations. We conclude with a discussion of pathways forward for future studies to place better constraints on this difficult challenge in stellar evolution modeling.

Transformer encoder-decoder models have achieved great performance in dialogue generation tasks, however, their inability to process long dialogue history often leads to truncation of the context To address this problem, we propose a novel memory-augmented transformer that is compatible with existing pre-trained encoder-decoder models and enables efficient preservation of the dialogue history information. By incorporating a separate memory module alongside the pre-trained transformer, the model can effectively interchange information between the memory states and the current input context. We evaluate our model on three dialogue datasets and two language modeling datasets. Experimental results show that our method has achieved superior efficiency and performance compared to other pre-trained Transformer baselines.

High-Tc copper oxides of the LSCO family show a very clear case of competition between antiferromagnetic (AF) order and superconductivity. Magnetic order can, however, coexist with superconductivity, and the experimental evidence for frozen magnetic moments in superconducting samples is reviewed here. The primary characteristics of the magnetic order are summarized and some open questions are outlined, particularly concerning the intrinsic or extrinsic nature of this order around x=0.12.

Behaviour Trees for Creating Conversational Explanation Experiences
null

This paper presented an XAI system specification and an interactive dialogue model to facilitate the creation of Explanation Experiences (EE). Such specifications combine the knowledge of XAI, domain and system experts of a use case to formalise target user groups and their explanation needs and to implement explanation strategies to address those needs. Formalising the XAI system promotes the reuse of existing explainers and known explanation needs that can be refined and evolved over time using user evaluation feedback. The abstract EE dialogue model formalised the interactions between a user and an XAI system. The resulting EE conversational chatbot is personalised to an XAI system at run-time using the knowledge captured in its XAI system specification. This seamless integration is enabled by using Behaviour Trees (BT) to conceptualise both the EE dialogue model and the explanation strategies. In the evaluation, we discussed several desirable properties of using BTs over traditionally used STMs or FSMs. BTs promote the reusability of dialogue components through the hierarchical nature of the design. Sub-trees are modular, i.e. a sub-tree is responsible for a specific behaviour, which can be designed in different levels of granularity to improve human interpretability. The EE dialogue model consists of abstract behaviours needed to capture EE, accordingly, it can be implemented as a conversational, graphical or text-based interface which caters to different domains and users. There is a significant computational cost when using BTs for modelling dialogue, which we mitigate by using memory. Overall, we find that the ability to create robust conversational pathways dynamically makes BTs a good candidate for designing and implementing conversation for creating explanation experiences.

A fundamental difficulty of studying gas-liquid pipe flows is the prediction of the occurrence and characteristics of the slug flow regime, which plays a crucial role in the safety design of oil pipelines. Current empirical methods and one-dimensional computational models only achieve limited success. While 3-D numerical simulations are highly recommended, they have been very seldom used. We perform 3-D Lagrangian numerical simulations of gas-liquid pipe flows, and focus on the interfacial instabilities leading to slug formation. We adapt an existing multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method based on a Riemann solver to achieve an efficient solver with no dependency on empirical correlations. To realize the high inlet velocities of gas and liquid an in- and outlet boundary condition is presented. The results are validated against existing experimental data, numerical simulations and analytical solutions. Multiple gas-liquid pipe flow patterns are predicted, namely, smooth stratified, stratified wavy, bubble flow, slug flow and bubble flow. Several principle characteristics of slug flows, e.g., pressure gradient, slug development and slug frequency are analyzed.

In this paper we study graded Bourbaki ideals. It is a well-known fact that for torsionfree modules over Noetherian normal domains, Bourbaki sequences exist. We give criteria in terms of certain attached matrices for a homomorphism of modules to induce a Bourbaki sequence. Special attention is given to graded Bourbaki sequences. In the second part of the paper, we apply these results to the Koszul cycles of the residue class field and determine particular Bourbaki ideals explicitly. We also obtain in a special case the relationship between the structure of the Rees algebra of a Koszul cycle and the Rees algebra of its Bourbaki ideal.

We report the discovery of a planet transiting the star WASP-80 (1SWASP J201240.26-020838.2; 2MASS J20124017-0208391; TYC 5165-481-1; BPM 80815; V=11.9, K=8.4). Our analysis shows this is a 0.55 +/- 0.04 Mjup, 0.95 +/- 0.03 Rjup gas giant on a circular 3.07 day orbit around a star with a spectral type between K7V and M0V. This system produces one of the largest transit depths so far reported, making it a worthwhile target for transmission spectroscopy. We find a large discrepancy between the v sin i inferred from stellar line broadening and the observed amplitude of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. This can be understood either by an orbital plane nearly perpendicular to the stellar spin or by an additional, unaccounted for source of broadening.

For every abelian compact Lie group A, we prove that the homotopical A-equivariant complex bordism ring, introduced by tom Dieck (1970), is isomorphic to the A-equivariant Lazard ring, introduced by Cole-Greenlees-Kriz (2000). This settles a conjecture of Greenlees. We also show an analog for homotopical real bordism rings over elementary abelian 2-groups. Our results generalize classical theorems of Quillen (1969) on the connection between non-equivariant bordism rings and formal group laws, and extend the case $A = C_2$ due to Hanke-Wiemeler (2018). We work in the framework of global homotopy theory, which is essential for our proof. In addition to the statements for a fixed group A, we also prove a global algebraic universal property that characterizes the collection of all equivariant complex bordism rings simultaneously. We show that they form the universal contravariant functor from abelian compact Lie groups to commutative rings that is equipped with a coordinate; the coordinate is given by the universal Euler class at the circle group. More generally, the ring of n-fold cooperations of equivariant complex bordism is shown to be universal among functors equipped with a strict n-tuple of coordinates.

A vital aspect of human intelligence is the ability to compose increasingly complex concepts out of simpler ideas, enabling both rapid learning and adaptation of knowledge. In this paper we show that energy-based models can exhibit this ability by directly combining probability distributions. Samples from the combined distribution correspond to compositions of concepts. For example, given a distribution for smiling faces, and another for male faces, we can combine them to generate smiling male faces. This allows us to generate natural images that simultaneously satisfy conjunctions, disjunctions, and negations of concepts. We evaluate compositional generation abilities of our model on the CelebA dataset of natural faces and synthetic 3D scene images. We also demonstrate other unique advantages of our model, such as the ability to continually learn and incorporate new concepts, or infer compositions of concept properties underlying an image.

We investigate the dependence of charge transfer on the intensity of driving laser field when SiO2 crystal is irradiated by an 800 nm laser. It is surprising that the direction of charge transfer undergoes a sudden reversal when the driving laser intensity exceeds critical values with different carrier envelope phases. By applying quantum-trajectory analysis, we find that the Bloch oscillation plays an important role in charge transfer in solid. Also, we study the interaction of strong laser with gallium nitride (GaN) that is widely used in optoelectronics. A pump-probe scheme is applied to control the quantum trajectories of the electrons in the conduction band. The signal of charge transfer is controlled successfully by means of theoretically proposed approach.

We have investigated the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the tunneling spectra of the eutectic system Sr2RuO4-Ru. Electric contacts to individual Ru lamellae embedded in Sr2RuO4 enable the tunneling spectra at the interface between ruthenate and a Ru microinclusion to be measured. A zero bias conductance peak (ZBCP) was observed in the bias voltage dependence of the differential conductance, suggesting that Andreev bound states are present at the interface. The ZBCP starts to appear at a temperature well below the superconducting transition temperature. The onset magnetic field of the ZBCP is also considerably smaller than the upper critical field when the magnetic field is parallel to the ab-plane. We propose that the difference between the onset of the ZBCP and the onset of superconductivity can be understood in terms of the existence of the single-component state predicted by Sigrist and Monien.

We consider the problem of sampling from a density of the form $p(x) \propto \exp(-f(x)- g(x))$, where $f: \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a smooth and strongly convex function and $g: \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a convex and Lipschitz function. We propose a new algorithm based on the Metropolis-Hastings framework, and prove that it mixes to within TV distance $\varepsilon$ of the target density in at most $O(d \log (d/\varepsilon))$ iterations. This guarantee extends previous results on sampling from distributions with smooth log densities ($g = 0$) to the more general composite non-smooth case, with the same mixing time up to a multiple of the condition number. Our method is based on a novel proximal-based proposal distribution that can be efficiently computed for a large class of non-smooth functions $g$.

X.509 certificate parsing and validation is a critical task which has shown consistent lack of effectiveness, with practical attacks being reported with a steady rate during the last 10 years. In this work we analyze the X.509 standard and provide a grammar description of it amenable to the automated generation of a parser with strong termination guarantees, providing unambiguous input parsing. We report the results of analyzing a 11M X.509 certificate dump of the HTTPS servers running on the entire IPv4 space, showing that 21.5% of the certificates in use are syntactically invalid. We compare the results of our parsing against 7 widely used TLS libraries showing that 631k to 1,156k syntactically incorrect certificates are deemed valid by them (5.7%--10.5%), including instances with security critical mis-parsings. We prove the criticality of such mis-parsing exploiting one of the syntactic flaws found in existing certificates to perform an impersonation attack.

Vizing-type bounds for graphs with induced subgraph restrictions

For any graphs $G$ and $H$, we say that a bound is of Vizing-type if $\gamma(G\square H)\geq c \gamma(G)\gamma(H)$ for some constant $c$. We show several bounds of Vizing-type for graphs $G$ with forbidden induced subgraphs. In particular, if $G$ is a triangle and $K_{1,r}$-free graph, then for any graph $H$, $\gamma(G\square H)\geq \frac{r}{2r-1}\gamma(G)\gamma(H)$. If $G$ is a $K_r$ and $P_5$-free graph for some integer $r\geq 2$, then for any graph $H$, $\gamma(G\square H)\geq \frac{r-1}{2r-3}\gamma(G)\gamma(H)$. We do this by bounding the power of $G$, $\pi(G)$. We show that if $G$ is claw-free and $P_6$-free or $K_4$ and $P_5$-free, then for any graph $H$, $\gamma(G\square H)\geq \gamma(G)\gamma(H)$. Furthermore, we show Vizing-type bounds in terms of the diameter of $G$.

Left invariant affine structures in a Lie group $G$ are in one-to-one correspondence with left-symmetric algebras over its Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=T_eG$ (``over'' means that the commutator $[x,y]=xy-yx$ coincides with the Lie bracket; left-symmetric algebras can be defined as Lie-admissible algebras such that the multiplication by left defines a representation of the underlying Lie algebra). An affine structure (and the corresponding left symmetric algebra) is complete if $G$ is affinely equivalent to $\mathfrak g$. By the main result of this paper, a complete left symmetric algebra admits a canonical decomposition: there is a Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak h$ such that the root subspaces for the representations $L$ (by left multiplications) and $\ad$ coincide. Then operators $L(x)$ and $\ad(x)$ have equal semisimple parts for all $x\in\mathfrak h$. This decomposition is unique. For simple complete left-symmetric algebras whose canonical decomposition consists of one dimensional spaces we define two types of graphs and prove some their properties. This makes possible to describe, for dimensions less or equal to 5, these graphs and algebras.

Aims: Propagation and energy transfer of torsional Alfv\'en waves in solar magnetic flux tubes of axial symmetry is studied. Methods: An analytical model of a solar magnetic flux tube of axial symmetry is developed by specifying a magnetic flux and deriving general analytical formulae for the equilibrium mass density and a gas pressure. The main advantage of this model is that it can be easily adopted to any axisymmetric magnetic structure. The model is used to simulate numerically the propagation of nonlinear Alfv\'en waves in such 2D flux tubes of axial symmetry embedded in the solar atmosphere. The waves are excited by a localized pulse in the azimuthal component of velocity and launched at the top of the solar photosphere, and they propagate through the solar chromosphere, transition region, and into the solar corona. Results: The results of our numerical simulations reveal a complex scenario of twisted magnetic field lines and flows associated with torsional Alfv\'en waves as well as energy transfer to the magnetoacoustic waves that are triggered by the Alfv\'en waves and are akin to the vertical jet flows. Alfv\'en waves experience about 5 % amplitude reflection at the transition region. Magnetic (velocity) field perturbations experience attenuation (growth) with height is agreement with analytical findings. Kinetic energy of magnetoacoustic waves consists of 25 % of the total energy of Alfv\'en waves. The energy transfer may lead to localized mass transport in the form of vertical jets, as well as to localized heating as slow magnetoacoustic waves are prone to dissipation in the inner corona.

Monitoring and information services form a key component of a distributed system, or Grid. A quantitative study of such services can aid in understanding the performance limitations, advise in the deployment of the monitoring system, and help evaluate future development work. To this end, we examined the performance of the Globus Toolkit(reg. trdmrk) Monitoring and Discovery Service (MDS2) by instrumenting its main services using NetLogger. Our study shows a strong advantage to caching or prefetching the data, as well as the need to have primary components at well-connected sites.

It is found that the X-Divertor (XD) configuration [1-3] can be made with the conventional PF coil set on ITER[4], where all PF coils are outside the TF coils. Desirable configurations are possible where the PF currents are below the present maximum design limits on ITER, and where the baseline divertor cassette is used. It is possible that the XD could be used to assist in high-power operation on ITER, but some further issues need examination. Note that the increased major radius of the Super X-Divertor (SXD) [5-8] is not a feature of the XD geometry. In addition, we present an XD configuration for K-DEMO [9], to demonstrate that it is also possible to attain the XD configuration in advanced tokamak reactors with all PF coils outside the TF coils. The results given here for the XD are far more encouraging than recent calculations by Lackner and Zohm [10] for the Snowflake [11,12], where the required high PF currents represent a major technological challenge. The magnetic field structure in the outboard divertor SOL [13] in the recently created XD configurations reproduces what was presented in the earlier XD papers [1-3]. Consequently, the same advantages accrue, but no close-in PF coils are employed.

The mathematical interpretation of interventions for the mitigation of epidemics and pandemics in the literature often involves finding the optimal time to initiate an intervention and/or the use of infections to manage impact. Whilst these methods may work in theory, in order to implement they may require information which is likely not available whilst one is in the midst of an epidemic, or they may require impeccable data about infection levels in the community. In practice, testing and cases data is only as good as the policy of implementation and the compliance of the individuals, which means that understanding the levels of infections becomes difficult or complicated from the data that is provided. In this paper, we aim to develop a different approach to the mathematical modelling of interventions, not based on optimality, but based on demand and capacity of local authorities who have to deal with the epidemic on a day to day basis. In particular, we use data-driven modelling to calibrate an Susceptible Exposed Infectious Recovered-Died (SEIR-D) model to infer parameters that depict the dynamics of the epidemic in a region of the UK. We use the calibrated parameters for forecasting scenarios and understand, given a maximum capacity of hospital healthcare services, how the timing of interventions, severity of interventions, and conditions for the releasing of interventions affect the overall epidemic-picture.

Band-phase-randomized Surrogates to assess nonlinearity in non-stationary time series

Testing for nonlinearity is one of the most important preprocessing steps in nonlinear time series analysis. Typically, this is done by means of the linear surrogate data methods. But it is a known fact that the validity of the results heavily depends on the stationarity of the time series. Since most physiological signals are non-stationary, it is easy to falsely detect nonlinearity using the linear surrogate data methods. In this document, we propose a methodology to extend the procedure for generating constrained surrogate time series in order to assess nonlinearity in non-stationary data. The method is based on the band-phase-randomized surrogates, which consists (contrary to the linear surrogate data methods) in randomizing only a portion of the Fourier phases in the high frequency band. Analysis of simulated time series showed that in comparison to the linear surrogate data method, our method is able to discriminate between linear stationarity, linear non-stationary and nonlinear time series. When applying our methodology to heart rate variability (HRV) time series that present spikes and other kinds of nonstationarities, we where able to obtain surrogate time series that look like the data and preserves linear correlations, something that is not possible to do with the existing surrogate data methods.

In a one-pion plus one-kaon exchange model, we calculate the kaon production cross sections in nucleon-nucleon, nucleon-delta and delta-delta interactions. We find that this model describes reasonably well the experimental data on kaon production in the proton-proton interaction. Near the kaon production threshold, the cross section obtained from this model is smaller than that from the linear parameterization of Randrup and Ko. For kaon production cross sections from the nucleon-delta and delta-delta interactions, the cross sections are singular in free space, so we calculate them in a nuclear medium by including the (complex) pion self-energy. The results are compared with the scaling ansatz of Randrup and Ko. The theoretical cross sections are then used in a transport model to study kaon production from Au+Au collisions at 1 GeV/nucleon.

It is shown that the field equations derived from an effective interaction hamiltonian for Maxwell and gravitational fields in the semiclassical approximation of loop quantum gravity using rotational invariant states (such as weave states) are Lorentz invariant. To derive this result, which is in agreement with the observational evidence, we use the geometrical properties of the electromagnetic field.

In this study, we explore peer-interaction effects in online networks on speaking skill development. In particular, we present an evidence for gradual buildup of skills in a small-group setting that has not been reported in the literature. We introduce a novel dataset of six online communities consisting of 158 participants focusing on improving their speaking skills. They video-record speeches for 5 prompts in 10 days and exchange comments and performance-ratings with their peers. We ask (i) whether the participants' ratings are affected by their interaction patterns with peers, and (ii) whether there is any gradual buildup of speaking skills in the communities towards homogeneity. To analyze the data, we employ tools from the emerging field of Graph Signal Processing (GSP). GSP enjoys a distinction from Social Network Analysis in that the latter is concerned primarily with the connection structures of graphs, while the former studies signals on top of graphs. We study the performance ratings of the participants as graph signals atop underlying interaction topologies. Total variation analysis of the graph signals show that the participants' rating differences decrease with time (slope=-0.04, p<0.01), while average ratings increase (slope=0.07, p<0.05)--thereby gradually building up the ratings towards community-wide homogeneity. We provide evidence for peer-influence through a prediction formulation. Our consensus-based prediction model outperforms baseline network-agnostic regression models by about 23% in predicting performance ratings. This, in turn, shows that participants' ratings are affected by their peers' ratings and the associated interaction patterns, corroborating previous findings. Then, we formulate a consensus-based diffusion model that captures these observations of peer-influence from our analyses.

We define the Born group as the group of transformations that leave invariant the line element of Minkowski's spacetime written in terms of Fermi coordinates of a Born congruence. This group depends on three arbitrary functions of a single argument. We construct implicitly the finite transformations of this group and explicitly the corresponding infinitesimal ones. Our analysis of this group brings out the new concept of Generalized group of isometries. The limitting cases of such groups being, at one end, the Groups of isometries of a spacetime metric and, at the other end, the Group of diffeomorphisms of any spacetime manifold. We mention two examples of potentially interesting generalizations of the Born congruences.

In order to correctly model the impacts of geomagnetically induced current (GIC) flows, the generator step-up (GSU) transformer status must be properly modeled. In power flow studies, generators are typically removed from service without disconnecting their GSU transformers since the GSU transformer status has little to no impact on the power flow result. In reality, removing a generator from service involves also removing its GSU transformer from service. This difference presents a discrepancy between simulated behavior and system observations during geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) events. This paper presents GMD case studies on 2000-bus and 24,000-bus systems in which reactive power losses and geomagnetically induced currents are compared across scenarios in which the GSU transformers for the disconnected generators are either in-service or out-of-service. The results demonstrate a 3.2 to 15.5 percent error in reactive power losses when the GSU status is modeled incorrectly. Discrepancies of up to 95 A per phase for branch GIC flows and 450 A for transformer neutral GIC flows are also observed and visualized.

A new approach for American option pricing: The Dynamic Chebyshev method
null

null
q-fin.CP
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
We introduce a new method to price American options based on Chebyshev interpolation. In each step of a dynamic programming time-stepping we approximate the value function with Chebyshev polynomials. The key advantage of this approach is that it allows to shift the model-dependent computations into an offline phase prior to the time-stepping. In the offline part a family of generalised (conditional) moments is computed by an appropriate numerical technique such as a Monte Carlo, PDE or Fourier transform based method. Thanks to this methodological flexibility the approach applies to a large variety of models. Online, the backward induction is solved on a discrete Chebyshev grid, and no (conditional) expectations need to be computed. For each time step the method delivers a closed form approximation of the price function along with the options' delta and gamma. Moreover, the same family of (conditional) moments yield multiple outputs including the option prices for different strikes, maturities and different payoff profiles. We provide a theoretical error analysis and find conditions that imply explicit error bounds for a variety of stock price models. Numerical experiments confirm the fast convergence of prices and sensitivities. An empirical investigation of accuracy and runtime also shows an efficiency gain compared with the least-square Monte-Carlo method introduced by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001).

Skull-stripping separates the skull region of the head from the soft brain tissues. In many cases of brain image analysis, this is an essential preprocessing step in order to improve the final result. This is true for both registration and segmentation tasks. In fact, skull-stripping of magnetic resonance images (MRI) is a well-studied problem with numerous publications in recent years. Many different algorithms have been proposed, a summary and comparison of which can be found in [Fennema-Notestine, 2006]. Despite the abundance of approaches, we discovered that the algorithms which had been suggested so far, perform poorly when dealing with tumor-bearing brain images. This is mostly due to additional difficulties in separating the brain from the skull in this case, especially when the lesion is located very close to the skull border. Additionally, images acquired according to standard clinical protocols, often exhibit anisotropic resolution and only partial coverage, which further complicates the task. Therefore, we developed a method which is dedicated to skull-stripping for clinically acquired tumor-bearing brain images.

We consider a wide range of matrix models and study them using the Monte Carlo technique in the large $N$ limit. The results we obtain agree with exact analytic expressions and recent numerical bootstrap methods for models with one and two matrices. We then present new results for several unsolved multi-matrix models where no other tool is yet available. In order to encourage an exchange of ideas between different numerical approaches to matrix models, we provide programs in Python that can be easily modified to study potentials other than the ones discussed. These programs were tested on a laptop and took between a few minutes to several hours to finish depending on the model, $N$, and the required precision.

We demonstrate that the differential ac-Stark shift of a ground-state hyperfine transition in an optical trap can be eliminated by using properly polarized trapping light. We use the vector polarizability of an alkali-metal atom to produce a polarization-dependent ac-Stark shift that resembles a Zeeman shift. We study a transition from the |2S1/2,F=2,mF=-2> to the |2S1/2,F=1,mF=-1> state of 7Li to observe 0.59+-0.02 Hz linewidth with interrogation time of 2 s and 0.82+-0.06 s coherence time of a superposition state. Implications of the narrow linewidth and the long coherence time for precision spectroscopy and quantum information processing using atoms in an optical lattice are discussed.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated remarkable results in image classification for benchmark tasks and practical applications. The CNNs with deeper architectures have achieved even higher performance recently thanks to their robustness to the parallel shift of objects in images as well as their numerous parameters and the resulting high expression ability. However, CNNs have a limited robustness to other geometric transformations such as scaling and rotation. This limits the performance improvement of the deep CNNs, but there is no established solution. This study focuses on scale transformation and proposes a network architecture called the weight-shared multi-stage network (WSMS-Net), which consists of multiple stages of CNNs. The proposed WSMS-Net is easily combined with existing deep CNNs such as ResNet and DenseNet and enables them to acquire robustness to object scaling. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet datasets demonstrate that existing deep CNNs combined with the proposed WSMS-Net achieve higher accuracies for image classification tasks with only a minor increase in the number of parameters and computation time.

We show that doubly peaked electric fields are necessary to describe grazing-angle charge collection measurements of irradiated silicon pixel sensors. A model of irradiated silicon based upon two defect levels with opposite charge states and the trapping of charge carriers can be tuned to produce a good description of the measured charge collection profiles in the fluence range from 0.5x10^{14} Neq/cm^2 to 5.9x10^{14} Neq/cm^2. The model correctly predicts the variation in the profiles as the temperature is changed from -10C to -25C. The measured charge collection profiles are inconsistent with the linearly-varying electric fields predicted by the usual description based upon a uniform effective doping density. This observation calls into question the practice of using effective doping densities to characterize irradiated silicon. The model is now being used to calibrate pixel hit reconstruction algorithms for CMS.

As an increasingly popular task in multimedia information retrieval, video moment retrieval (VMR) aims to localize the target moment from an untrimmed video according to a given language query. Most previous methods depend heavily on numerous manual annotations (i.e., moment boundaries), which are extremely expensive to acquire in practice. In addition, due to the domain gap between different datasets, directly applying these pre-trained models to an unseen domain leads to a significant performance drop. In this paper, we focus on a novel task: cross-domain VMR, where fully-annotated datasets are available in one domain (``source domain''), but the domain of interest (``target domain'') only contains unannotated datasets. As far as we know, we present the first study on cross-domain VMR. To address this new task, we propose a novel Multi-Modal Cross-Domain Alignment (MMCDA) network to transfer the annotation knowledge from the source domain to the target domain. However, due to the domain discrepancy between the source and target domains and the semantic gap between videos and queries, directly applying trained models to the target domain generally leads to a performance drop. To solve this problem, we develop three novel modules: (i) a domain alignment module is designed to align the feature distributions between different domains of each modality; (ii) a cross-modal alignment module aims to map both video and query features into a joint embedding space and to align the feature distributions between different modalities in the target domain; (iii) a specific alignment module tries to obtain the fine-grained similarity between a specific frame and the given query for optimal localization. By jointly training these three modules, our MMCDA can learn domain-invariant and semantic-aligned cross-modal representations.

Gravitational baryogenesis is one of the mechanisms which help us to explore more about our early universe, especially baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry. As we know, modified theories of gravity are very successful in describing the present accelerated scenario of the universe. Therefore, in this letter, we aim to constrain the generalized torsion-based modified theory of gravity, namely, $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ gravity with gravitational baryogenesis, where $T$, $\mathcal{T}$ are the torsion scalar, trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. For this, we examine how the various Lagrangian forms of $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ affect the baryogenesis. We also impose the constraints on the extra degrees of freedom induced by modified theory with the observational values of the baryon-to-entropy ratio. In addition, we further explore how more generalized gravitational baryogenesis can attribute in a physically viable and consistent way to the cosmologies of the modified theory of gravity.

Merging galaxies produce outliers from the Fundamental Metallicity Relation

From a large sample of $\approx 170,000$ local SDSS galaxies, we find that the Fundamental Metallicity Relation (FMR) has an overabundance of outliers, compared to what would be expected from a Gaussian distribution of residuals, with significantly lower metallicities than predicted from their stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR). This low-metallicity population has lower stellar masses, bimodial specific SFRs with enhanced star formation within the aperture and smaller half-light radii than the general sample, and is hence a physically distinct population. We show that they are consistent with being galaxies that are merging or have recently merged with a satellite galaxy. In this scenario, low-metallicity gas flows in from large radii, diluting the metallicity of star-forming regions and enhancing the specific SFR until the inflowing gas is processed and the metallicity has recovered. We introduce a simple model in which mergers with a mass ratio larger than a minimum dilute the central galaxy's metallicity by an amount that is proportional to the stellar mass ratio for a constant time, and show that it provides an excellent fit to the distribution of FMR residuals. We find the dilution time-scale to be $\tau=1.568_{-0.027}^{+0.029}$ Gyr, the average metallicity depression caused by a 1:1 merger to be $\alpha=0.2480_{-0.0020}^{+0.0017}$ dex and the minimum mass ratio merger that can be discerned from the intrinsic Gaussian scatter in the FMR to be $\xi_\text{min}=0.2030_{-0.0095}^{+0.0127}$ (these are statistical errors only). From this we derive that the average metallicity depression caused by a merger with mass ratio between 1:5 and 1:1 is 0.114 dex.

We study the generalized free energy of the five dimensional charged Gauss-Bonnet AdS black holes in the grand canonical ensemble by treating the black hole radius and the charge as the order parameters. On the two dimensional free energy landscape, the lowest points in the basins represent the local stable black holes and the saddle point represents the unstable black hole. We show that black hole is the topological defect of gradient field of the landscape. The black hole stability is determined by the topography of the free energy landscape in terms of the basin depths and the barrier height between the basins and is not by the topology of the gradient field. In addition, we study the stochastic dynamics of the black hole phase transition and obtain the dominant kinetic path for the transition on the free energy landscape. Unlike the one dimensional landscape, the dominant kinetic path between the small and the large black hole state does not necessarily pass through the intermediate black hole state. Furthermore, the inhomogeneity in diffusions can lead to the switching from the coupled cooperative process of black hole phase transition to the decoupled sequential process, giving different kinetic mechanisms.

We present a class of minimally extended standard models with the gauge group $SU(3)_C \times SU(N)_L \times U(1)_X$ where for all $N \geq 3$, anomaly cancelation requires three generations. At low energy, we recover the Standard Model (SM), while at higher energies, there must exist quarks, leptons and gauge bosons with electric charges shifted from their SM values by integer multiples of the electron charge up to $ \pm [N/2] e$. Since the value N=5 is the highest $N$ consistent with QCD asymptotic freedom, we elaborate on the 3-5-1 model.

We analyze CP violation in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with heavy scalar fermions of the first two generations. Neglecting intergenerational mixing in the sfemion mass matrices and thus considering only chargino, charged Higgs and W--boson diagrams we show that it is possible to fully account for CP violation in the kaon system even in the absence of the standard CKM phase. This opens new possibilities for large supersymmetric contributions to CP violation in the B system.

Recent tracking-by-detection approaches use deep object detectors as target detection baseline, because of their high performance on still images. For effective video object tracking, object detection is integrated with a data association step performed by either a custom design inference architecture or an end-to-end joint training for tracking purpose. In this work, we adopt the former approach and use the pre-trained Mask R-CNN deep object detector as the baseline. We introduce a novel inference architecture placed on top of FPN-ResNet101 backbone of Mask R-CNN to jointly perform detection and tracking, without requiring additional training for tracking purpose. The proposed single object tracker, TDIOT, applies an appearance similarity-based temporal matching for data association. In order to tackle tracking discontinuities, we incorporate a local search and matching module into the inference head layer that exploits SiamFC for short term tracking. Moreover, in order to improve robustness to scale changes, we introduce a scale adaptive region proposal network that enables to search the target at an adaptively enlarged spatial neighborhood specified by the trace of the target. In order to meet long term tracking requirements, a low cost verification layer is incorporated into the inference architecture to monitor presence of the target based on its LBP histogram model. Performance evaluation on videos from VOT2016, VOT2018 and VOT-LT2018 datasets demonstrate that TDIOT achieves higher accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art short-term trackers while it provides comparable performance in long term tracking.

Diverse polymer crosslinking techniques allow the synthesis of linear polymer-like structures whose monomers are colloidal particles. In the case where all or part of these colloidal particles are magnetic, one can control the behaviour of these supracolloidal polymers, known as magnetic filaments (MFs), by applied magnetic fields. However, the response of MFs strongly depends on the crosslinking procedure. In the present study, we employ Langevin dynamics simulations to investigate the influence of the type of crosslinking and the distribution of magnetic particles within MFs on their response to an external magnetic field. We found that if the rotation of the dipole moment of particles is not coupled to the backbone of the filament, the impact of the magnetic content is strongly decreased.

In the area of physical attacks, system-on-chip (SoC) designs have not received the same level of attention as simpler micro-controllers. We try to model the behavior of secure software running on a superscalar out-of-order microprocessor typical of more complex SoC, in the presence of electromagnetic (EM) pulses. We first show that it is possible, in a black box approach, to corrupt the loop iteration count of both original and hardened versions of two sensitive loops. We propose a characterization methodology based on very simple codes, to understand and classify the fault effects at the level of the instruction set architecture (ISA). The resulting classification includes the well established instruction skip and register corruption models, as well as new effects specific to more complex processors, such as operand substitution, multiple correlated register corruptions, advanced control-flow hijacking, and combinations of all reported effects. This diversity and complexity of effects can lead to powerful attacks. The proposed methodology and fault classification at ISA level is a first step towards a more complete characterization. It is also a tool supporting the designers of software and hardware countermeasures.

Affine variational principle for General Relativity, proposed in 1978 by one of us (J.K.), is a good remedy for the non-universal properties of the standard, metric formulation, arising when the matter Lagrangian depends upon the metric derivatives. Affine version of the theory cures the standard drawback of the metric version, where the leading (second order) term of the field equations depends upon matter fields and its causal structure violates the light cone structure of the metric. Choosing the affine connection (and not the metric one) as the gravitational configuration, simplifies considerably the canonical structure of the theory and is more suitable for purposes of its quantization along the lines of Ashtekar and Lewandowski (see http://www.arxiv.org/gr-qc/0404018). We show how the affine formulation provides a simple method to handle boundary integrals in general relativity theory.

We prove that a Finsler spacetime endowed with a smooth reference measure whose induced weighted Ricci curvature $\smash{\mathrm{Ric}_N}$ is bounded from below by a real number $K$ in every timelike direction satisfies the timelike curvature-dimension condition $\smash{\mathrm{TCD}_q(K,N)}$ for all $q\in (0,1)$. A nonpositive-dimensional version ($N \le 0$) of this result is also shown. Our discussion is based on the solvability of the Monge problem with respect to the $q$-Lorentz-Wasserstein distance as well as the characterization of $q$-geodesics of probability measures. One consequence of our work is the sharp timelike Brunn-Minkowski inequality in the Lorentz-Finsler case.

We deal with two natural examples of almost-elementary classes: the class of all Banach spaces (over R or C) and the class of all groups. We show both of these classes do not have the strict order property, and find the exact place of each one of them in Shelah's SOP_n (strong order property of order n) hierarchy. Remembering the connection between this hierarchy and the existence of universal models, we conclude, for example, that there are ``few'' universal Banach spaces (under isometry) of regular cardinalities.

The internal composition of neutron stars is currently largely unknown. Due to the possibility of phase transitions in quantum chromodynamics, stars could be hybrid and have quark cores. We investigate some imprints of elastic quark phases (only when perturbed) on the dynamical stability of hybrid stars. We show that they increase the dynamical stability window of hybrid stars in the sense that the onset of instabilities happen at larger central densities than the ones for maximum masses. In particular, when the shear modulus of a crystalline quark phase is taken at face value, the relative radius differences between elastic and perfect-fluid hybrid stars with null radial frequencies (onset of instability) would be up to $1-2\%$. Roughly, this would imply a maximum relative radius dispersion (on top of the perfect-fluid predictions) of $2-4\%$ for stars in a given mass range exclusively due to the elasticity of the quark phase. In the more agnostic approach where the estimates for the quark shear modulus only suggest its possible order of magnitude (due to the many approximations taken in its calculation), the relative radius dispersion uniquely due to a quark phase elasticity might be as large as $5-10\%$. Finally, we discuss possible implications of the above dispersion of radii for the constraint of the elasticity of a quark phase with electromagnetic missions such as NICER, eXTP and ATHENA.

The nearby ultra-compact multiplanetary system YZ Ceti consists of at least three planets. The orbital period of each planet is the subject of discussion in the literature due to strong aliasing in the radial velocity data. The stellar activity of this M dwarf also hampers significantly the derivation of the planetary parameters. With an additional 229 radial velocity measurements obtained since the discovery publication, we reanalyze the YZ Ceti system and resolve the alias issues. We use model comparison in the framework of Bayesian statistics and periodogram simulations based on a method by Dawson and Fabrycky to resolve the aliases. We discuss additional signals in the RV data, and derive the planetary parameters by simultaneously modeling the stellar activity with a Gaussian process regression model. To constrain the planetary parameters further we apply a stability analysis on our ensemble of Keplerian fits. We resolve the aliases: the three planets orbit the star with periods of $2.02$ d, $3.06$ d, and $4.66$ d. We also investigate an effect of the stellar rotational signal on the derivation of the planetary parameters, in particular the eccentricity of the innermost planet. Using photometry we determine the stellar rotational period to be close to $68$ d. From the absence of a transit event with TESS, we derive an upper limit of the inclination of $i_\mathrm{max} = 87.43$ deg. YZ Ceti is a prime example of a system where strong aliasing hindered the determination of the orbital periods of exoplanets. Additionally, stellar activity influences the derivation of planetary parameters and modeling them correctly is important for the reliable estimation of the orbital parameters in this specific compact system. Stability considerations then allow additional constraints to be placed on the planetary parameters.

3D object reconstruction is a fundamental task of many robotics and AI problems. With the aid of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), 3D object reconstruction has witnessed a significant progress in recent years. However, possibly due to the prohibitively high dimension of the 3D object space, the results from deep CNNs are often prone to missing some shape details. In this paper, we present an approach which aims to preserve more shape details and improve the reconstruction quality. The key idea of our method is to leverage object mask and pose estimation from CNNs to assist the 3D shape learning by constructing a probabilistic single-view visual hull inside of the network. Our method works by first predicting a coarse shape as well as the object pose and silhouette using CNNs, followed by a novel 3D refinement CNN which refines the coarse shapes using the constructed probabilistic visual hulls. Experiment on both synthetic data and real images show that embedding a single-view visual hull for shape refinement can significantly improve the reconstruction quality by recovering more shapes details and improving shape consistency with the input image.

In this work, we consider the Yukawa-type and power-type non-Newtonian corrections, which induce amplification of gravitational interaction on submillimeter scales, and analytically calculate deviations produced by the atomic gravitational field on the energy levels of hydrogen-like ions. Analyzing ionic transitions between Rydberg states, we derive prospective constraints for non-Newtonian corrections. It is shown that the results also provide stronger constraints, due to the high accuracy for Rydberg transition measures into optical spectrum frequency range, than the current empirical bounds following from Casimir force measurements.

Let $G$ be a finite tree with root $r$ and associate to the internal vertices of $G$ a collection of transition probabilities for a simple nondegenerate Markov chain. Embedd $G$ into a graph $G^\prime$ constructed by gluing finite linear chains of length at least 2 to the terminal vertices of $G.$ Then $G^\prime$ admits distinguished boundary layers and the transition probabilities associated to the internal vertices of $G$ can be augmented to define a simple nondegenerate Markov chain $X$ on the vertices of $G^\prime.$ We show that the transition probabilities of $X$ can be recovered from the joint distribution of first hitting time and first hitting place of $X$ started at the root $r$ for the distinguished boundary layers of $G^\prime.$

Lyutikov (astro-ph/0503505) raised a valid point that for shock deceleration of a highly magnetized outflow, the fate of the magnetic fields after shock crossing should be considered. However, his comment that the deceleration radius should be defined by the total energy rather than by the baryonic kinetic energy is incorrect. As strictly derived from the shock jump conditions in Zhang & Kobayashi (2005), during the reverse shock crossing process the magnetic energy is not tapped. As a result, the fireball deceleration radius is defined by the baryonic energy only. The magnetic energy is expected to be transferred to the circumburst medium after the reverse shock disappears. The evolution of the system then mimicks a continuously-fed fireball. As a result, Lyutikov's naive conclusion that the forward shock dynamics is independent on the ejecta content is also incorrect. The shock deceleration dynamics and the reverse shock calculation presented in Zhang & Kobayashi (2005) are robust and correct.

The local differential tunneling conductance on a Zn impurity in a disordered d-wave superconductors is studied. Quantum interference between many impurities leads to definitive quasiparticle spectra. We suggest that an elaborate analysis on impurity-induced spectra with quantum interference effect included may be able to pin down the sign and strength of the scattering potential of a Zn impurity in low density limit. Numerical simulations calculated with appropriately determined impurity parameters are in satisfactory agreement with the observations from scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments even in subtle details.

We study a sample of 16 microlensed Galactic bulge main sequence turnoff region stars for which high dispersion spectra have been obtained with detailed abundance analyses. We demonstrate that there is a very strong and highly statistically significant correlation between the maximum magnification of the microlensed bulge star and the value of the [Fe/H] deduced from the high resolution spectrum of each object. Physics demands that this correlation, assuming it to be real, be the result of some sample bias. We suggest several possible explanations, but are forced to reject them all,and are left puzzled. To obtain a reliable metallicity distribution in the Galactic bulge based on microlensed dwarf stars it will be necessary to resolve this issue through the course of additional observations.

Adaptive minimax testing in inverse Gaussian sequence space models

In the inverse Gaussian sequence space model with additional noisy observations of the operator, we derive nonasymptotic minimax radii of testing for ellipsoid-type alternatives simultaneously for both the signal detection problem (testing against zero) and the goodness-of-fit testing problem (testing against a prescribed sequence) without any regularity assumption on the null hypothesis. The radii are the maximum of two terms, each of which only depends on one of the noise levels. Interestingly, the term involving the noise level of the operator explicitly depends on the null hypothesis and vanishes in the signal detection case. The minimax radii are established by first showing a lower bound for arbitrary null hypotheses and noise levels. For the upper bound we consider two testing procedures, a direct test based on estimating the energy in the image space and an indirect test. Under mild assumptions, we prove that the testing radius of the indirect test achieves the lower bound, which shows the minimax optimality of the radius and the test. We highlight the assumptions under which the direct test also performs optimally. Furthermore, we apply a classical Bonferroni method for making both the indirect and the direct test adaptive with respect to the regularity of the alternative. The radii of the adaptive tests are deteriorated by an additional log-factor, which we show to be unavoidable. The results are illustrated considering Sobolev spaces and mildly or severely ill-posed inverse problems.

N=1^* gauge theories are believed to have fractional instanton contributions in the confining vacua. D3 brane probe computations in gravitation dual of large-N N=2^* gauge theories point to the absence of such contributions in the low energy gauge dynamics. We study fractional instantons in N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills theory from the field theoretical perspective. We present new solutions to the Seiberg-Witten SU(2) monodromy problem with the same perturbative asymptotic, a massless monopole and a dyon singularity on the moduli space, and fractional instanton corrections to N=2 prepotential in the semi-classical region of the moduli space. We show that fractional instantons lead to infinite monopole (dyon) condensate in mass deformed N=2 gauge theories.

Revisiting Softmax for Uncertainty Approximation in Text Classification

Uncertainty approximation in text classification is an important area with applications in domain adaptation and interpretability. The most widely used uncertainty approximation method is Monte Carlo Dropout, which is computationally expensive as it requires multiple forward passes through the model. A cheaper alternative is to simply use a softmax to estimate model uncertainty. However, prior work has indicated that the softmax can generate overconfident uncertainty estimates and can thus be tricked into producing incorrect predictions. In this paper, we perform a thorough empirical analysis of both methods on five datasets with two base neural architectures in order to reveal insight into the trade-offs between the two. We compare the methods' uncertainty approximations and downstream text classification performance, while weighing their performance against their computational complexity as a cost-benefit analysis, by measuring runtime (cost) and the downstream performance (benefit). We find that, while Monte Carlo produces the best uncertainty approximations, using a simple softmax leads to competitive uncertainty estimation for text classification at a much lower computational cost, suggesting that softmax can in fact be a sufficient uncertainty estimate when computational resources are a concern.

Twitter influences political debates. Phenomena like fake news and hate speech show that political discourse on micro-blogging can become strongly polarised by algorithmic enforcement of selective perception. Some political actors actively employ strategies to facilitate polarisation on Twitter, as past contributions show, via strategies of 'hashjacking'. For the example of COVID-19 related hashtags and their retweet networks, we examine the case of partisan accounts of the German far-right party Alternative f\"ur Deutschland (AfD) and their potential use of 'hashjacking' in May 2020. Our findings indicate that polarisation of political party hashtags has not changed significantly in the last two years. We see that right-wing partisans are actively and effectively polarising the discourse by 'hashjacking' COVID-19 related hashtags, like #CoronaVirusDE or #FlattenTheCurve. This polarisation strategy is dominated by the activity of a limited set of heavy users. The results underline the necessity to understand the dynamics of discourse polarisation, as an active political communication strategy of the far-right, by only a handful of very active accounts.

We study the scaling limit of a branching random walk in static random environment in dimension $d=1,2$ and show that it is given by a super-Brownian motion in a white noise potential. In dimension $1$ we characterize the limit as the unique weak solution to the stochastic PDE: \[\partial_t \mu = (\Delta {+} \xi) \mu {+} \sqrt{2\nu \mu} \tilde{\xi}\] for independent space white noise $\xi$ and space-time white noise $\tilde{\xi}$. In dimension $2$ the study requires paracontrolled theory and the limit process is described via a martingale problem. In both dimensions we prove persistence of this rough version of the super-Brownian motion.

When developing risk prediction models, shrinkage methods are recommended, especially when the sample size is limited. Several earlier studies have shown that the shrinkage of model coefficients can reduce overfitting of the prediction model and subsequently result in better predictive performance on average. In this simulation study, we aimed to investigate the variability of regression shrinkage on predictive performance for a binary outcome, with focus on the calibration slope. The slope indicates whether risk predictions are too extreme (slope < 1) or not extreme enough (slope > 1). We investigated the following shrinkage methods in comparison to standard maximum likelihood estimation: uniform shrinkage (likelihood-based and bootstrap-based), ridge regression, penalized maximum likelihood, LASSO regression, adaptive LASSO, non-negative garrote, and Firth's correction. There were three main findings. First, shrinkage improved calibration slopes on average. Second, the between-sample variability of calibration slopes was often increased relative to maximum likelihood. Among the shrinkage methods, the bootstrap-based uniform shrinkage worked well overall. In contrast to other shrinkage approaches, Firth's correction had only a small shrinkage effect but did so with low variability. Third, the correlation between the estimated shrinkage and the optimal shrinkage to remove overfitting was typically negative. Hence, although shrinkage improved predictions on average, it often worked poorly in individual datasets, in particular when shrinkage was most needed. The observed variability of shrinkage methods implies that these methods do not solve problems associated with small sample size or low number of events per variable.

Assuming existence of (very) heavy fourth generation of quarks and antiquarks we argue that antibaryon composed of the three heavy antiquarks can be light, stable and invisible, hence a good candidate for the Dark matter particle. Such opportunity allows to keep the baryon number conservation for the generation of the visible baryon asymmetry. The dark matter particles traveling through the ordinary matter will annihilate with nucleons inducing proton(neutron)-decay-like events with ~5GeV energy release in outcoming particles.

Most electromechanical devices are in two-dimensional metallic drums under high tensile stress, which causes increased mechanical frequency and quality factor. However, high mechanical frequencies lead to small zero-point displacements $x_{\rm zp}$, which limits the single-photon interaction rate $g_0$. For applications which demand large $g_0$, any design with increased $x_{\rm zp}$ is desirable. It is shown that a patterned drum by spiral shape can resolve this difficulty, which is obtained by a reduction of mechanical frequency while the motion mass is kept almost constant. An order of magnitude increase in $g_0$, and agreement between simulations and interferometric measurements is observed.

We study to what extend LISA can observe features of gravitational wave spectra originating from cosmological first-order phase transitions. We focus on spectra which are of the form of double-broken power laws. These spectra are predicted by hydrodynamic simulations and also analytical models such as the sound shell model. We argue that the ratio of the two break frequencies is an interesting observable since it can be related to the wall velocity while overall amplitude and frequency range are often degenerate for the numerous characteristics of the phase transition. Our analysis uses mock data obtained from the power spectra predicted by the simplified simulations and the sound shell model and analyzes the detection prospects using $\chi^2$-minimization and likelihood sampling. We point out that the prospects of observing two break frequencies from the electroweak phase transition is hindered by a shift of the spectrum to smaller frequencies for strong phase transitions. Finally, we also highlight some differences between signals from the sound shell model compared to simulations.

NS is well represented by a King model and it has the characteristics of a typical dwarf elliptical nucleus. Whether this means that M~54 has spiraled into the potential well of NS or that M~54 is the real nucleus and NS has formed into its potential wells, remains an open question to be addressed.

We propose a new algorithm for training generative adversarial networks that jointly learns latent codes for both identities (e.g. individual humans) and observations (e.g. specific photographs). By fixing the identity portion of the latent codes, we can generate diverse images of the same subject, and by fixing the observation portion, we can traverse the manifold of subjects while maintaining contingent aspects such as lighting and pose. Our algorithm features a pairwise training scheme in which each sample from the generator consists of two images with a common identity code. Corresponding samples from the real dataset consist of two distinct photographs of the same subject. In order to fool the discriminator, the generator must produce pairs that are photorealistic, distinct, and appear to depict the same individual. We augment both the DCGAN and BEGAN approaches with Siamese discriminators to facilitate pairwise training. Experiments with human judges and an off-the-shelf face verification system demonstrate our algorithm's ability to generate convincing, identity-matched photographs.

We have made a series of gradient-corrected relativistic full-potential density-functional calculation for Ca-substituted and hole-doped SrRuO$_3$ in para, ferro, and $A$-, $C$-, and $G$-type antiferromagnetic states. Magnetic phase-diagram data for Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$RuO$_3$ at 0 K are presented. Neutron diffraction measurement combined with total energy calculations show that spin-glass behavior with short-range antiferromagnetic interactions rules in CaRuO$_3$. The substitution of Sr by Ca in SrRuO$_3$ decreases the ferromagnetic interaction and enhances the $G$-type antiferromagnetic interaction; the $G$-AF state is found to stabilize around $x$ = 0.75 consistent with experimental observations. Inclusion of spin-orbit coupling is found to be important in order to arrive at the correct magnetic ground state in ruthenates.

Combinatorial interaction testing is an important software testing technique that has seen lots of recent interest. It can reduce the number of test cases needed by considering interactions between combinations of input parameters. Empirical evidence shows that it effectively detects faults, in particular, for highly configurable software systems. In real-world software testing, the input variables may vary in how strongly they interact, variable strength combinatorial interaction testing (VS-CIT) can exploit this for higher effectiveness. The generation of variable strength test suites is a non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP) hard computational problem \cite{BestounKamalFuzzy2017}. Research has shown that stochastic population-based algorithms such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) can be efficient compared to alternatives for VS-CIT problems. Nevertheless, they require detailed control for the exploitation and exploration trade-off to avoid premature convergence (i.e. being trapped in local optima) as well as to enhance the solution diversity. Here, we present a new variant of PSO based on Mamdani fuzzy inference system \cite{Camastra2015,TSAKIRIDIS2017257,KHOSRAVANIAN2016280}, to permit adaptive selection of its global and local search operations. We detail the design of this combined algorithm and evaluate it through experiments on multiple synthetic and benchmark problems. We conclude that fuzzy adaptive selection of global and local search operations is, at least, feasible as it performs only second-best to a discrete variant of PSO, called DPSO. Concerning obtaining the best mean test suite size, the fuzzy adaptation even outperforms DPSO occasionally. We discuss the reasons behind this performance and outline relevant areas of future work.

In a previous study on thermonuclear (type I) nursts on accreting neutron stars we addressed and demonstrated the importance of the effects of rotation, through the Coriolis force, on the propagation of the burning flame. However, that study only analysed cases of longitudinal propagation, where the Coriolis force coefficient $2\Omega\cos\theta$ was constant. In this paper, we study the effects of rotation on propagation in the meridional (latitudinal) direction, where the Coriolis force changes from its maximum at the poles to zero at the equator. We find that the zero Coriolis force at the equator, while affecting the structure of the flame, does not prevent its propagation from one hemisphere to another. We also observe structural differences between the flame propagating towards the equator and that propagating towards the pole, the second being faster. In the light of the recent discovery of the low spin frequency of burster IGR~J17480-2446 rotating at 11 Hz (for which Coriolis effects should be negligible) we also extend our simulations to slow rotation.

Based on solutions of the Stewart-Lyth inverse problem it is argued that in the CMB data analysis the parametrization of the primordial spectra from inflation must include the `running' of both, scalar and tensorial, spectral indices if information beyond the exponential potential model is wanted to be detected.

We develop a new approach to tackle communication constraints in a distributed learning problem with a central server. We propose and analyze a new algorithm that performs bidirectional compression and achieves the same convergence rate as algorithms using only uplink (from the local workers to the central server) compression. To obtain this improvement, we design MCM, an algorithm such that the downlink compression only impacts local models, while the global model is preserved. As a result, and contrary to previous works, the gradients on local servers are computed on perturbed models. Consequently, convergence proofs are more challenging and require a precise control of this perturbation. To ensure it, MCM additionally combines model compression with a memory mechanism. This analysis opens new doors, e.g. incorporating worker dependent randomized-models and partial participation.

We review the supergravity derivation of some non-perturbatively generated effective superpotentials for N=1 gauge theories. Specifically, we derive the Veneziano-Yankielowicz superpotential for pure N=1 Super Yang-Mills theory from the warped deformed conifold solution, and the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotential for N=1 SQCD from a solution describing fractional D3-branes on a C^3 / Z_2 x Z_2 orbifold.

Within the quasichemical approach, the hydration free energy of an ion is decomposed into a chemical term accounting for ion specific ion-water interactions within the coordination sphere and nonspecific contributions accounting for packing (excluded volume) and long range interactions. The change in the chemical term with a change in the radius of the coordination sphere is the compressive force exerted by the bulk solvent medium on the surface of the coordination sphere. For the Na+, K+, F-, and Cl- ions considered here this compressive force becomes equal for similarly charged ions for coordination radii of about 0.39 nm, not much larger than a water molecule. These results show that ion specific effects are short ranged and arise primarily due to differences in the local ion-water interactions.

The measured cross section exhibits an interference pattern of the $\phi(1020)\to\pipi\pipi$ decay with a non-resonant process $e^+e^- \to \pipi\pipi$, from which we obtain the branching fraction of the doubly suppressed decays (by G-parity and OZI rule): $\BR(\phi\to\pipi\pipi) = (6.5\pm2.7\pm1.6)\times 10^{-6}$.

We consider that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) depends on physical properties of star-forming molecular clouds in galaxies and thereby investigate how such a non-universal IMF (NUIMF) influences galaxy evolution. We incorporate a NUIMF model into galaxy-scale chemodynamical simulations in order to investigate the differences in chemical and dynamical evolution of disk galaxies between the NUIMF and universal IMF (UIMF) models. In the adopted NUIMF model, the three slopes of the Kroupa IMF depend independently on densities and metallicities ([Fe/H]) of molecular gas clouds, and production rates of metals and dust from massive and AGB stars can vary according to the time evolution of the three IMF slopes. The preliminary results of the simulations are as follows. Star formation rates in actively star-forming disk galaxies can be significantly lower in the NUIMF model than in the UIMF model, and the differences between the two models can be more remarkable in galaxies with higher SFRs. Chemical enrichment can proceed more rapidly in the NUIMF model and [Mg/Fe] for a given metallicity is higher in the NUIMF model. The evolution of H2 fraction (f_H2) and dust-to-gas ratio (D) is more rapid in the NUIMF model so that the final f_H2 and $D$ can be higher in the NUIMF model. Formation of massive stellar clumps in gas-rich disks is more strongly suppressed owing to the stronger SN feedback effect in the NUIMF model. The radial density profiles of new stars within the central 1kpc are shallower in the NUIMF model.

The effects of matter density fluctuation in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are studied. Effects of short wavelength fluctuations are in general irrelevant. Effects of long wavelength fluctuations must be checked on a case-by-case basis. As an example we checked the fluctuation effects and showed its irrelevance in a case of K2K experiments.

We present a novel proposal for generating quantum superpositions of macroscopically distinct states of a bulk mechanical oscillator, compatible with existing optomechanical devices operating in the readily achievable bad-cavity limit. The scheme is based on a pulsed cavity optomechanical quantum non-demolition (QND) interaction, driven by displaced non-Gaussian states, and measurement-induced feedback, avoiding the need for strong single-photon optomechanical coupling. Furthermore, we show that single-quadrature cooling of the mechanical oscillator is sufficient for efficient state preparation, and we outline a three-pulse protocol comprising a sequence of QND interactions for squeezing-enhanced cooling, state preparation, and tomography.

A survey of Galactic gamma-ray sources at a median energy of ~20 TeV has been performed using the Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory. Eight candidate sources of TeV emission are detected with pre-trials significance $>4.5\sigma$ in the region of Galactic longitude $l\in[30^\circ,220^\circ]$ and latitude $b\in[-10^\circ,10^\circ]$. Four of these sources, including the Crab nebula and the recently published MGRO J2019+37, are observed with significances $>4\sigma$ after accounting for the trials involved in searching the 3800 square degree region. All four of these sources are also coincident with EGRET sources. Two of the lower significance sources are coincident with EGRET sources and one of these sources is Geminga. The other two candidates are in the Cygnus region of the Galaxy. Several of the sources appear to be spatially extended. The fluxes of the sources at 20 TeV range from ~25% of the Crab flux to nearly as bright as the Crab.

We push ahead the idea developed in [24], that some fraction of the dark matter and the dark energy can be explained as a relativistic effect. The inhomogeneity matter generates gravitational distortions, which are general relativistically retarded. These combine in a magnification effect since the past matter density, which generated the distortion we feel now, is greater than the present one. The non negligible effect on the averaged expansion of the universe contributes both to the estimations of the dark matter and to the dark energy, so that the parameters of the Cosmological Standard Model need some corrections. In this second work we apply the previously developed framework to relativistic models of the universe. It results that one parameter remain free, so that more solutions are possible, as function of inhomogeneity. One of these fully explains the dark energy, but requires more dark matter than the Cosmological Standard Model (91% of the total matter). Another solution fully explains the dark matter, but requires more dark energy than the Cosmological Standard Model (15% more). A third noteworthy solution explains a consistent part of the dark matter (it would be 63% of the total matter) and also some of the dark energy (4%).

In this thesis, the implications of a new cosmological model are studied, which has features similar to that of decaying vacuum cosmologies. Decaying vacuum (or cosmological constant \Lambda) models are the results of attempts to resolve the problems that plague the standard hot big bang model - the problems which elude a satisfactory solution even after the two decades of of inflationary models, the first and much publicised cure to them. We arrive at the present model by a radically new route, which extends the idea of a signature change in the metric, a widely discussed speculation in the current literature. An alternative approach uses some dimensional considerations in line with quantum cosmology and gives an almost identical model. Both derivations involve some fundamental issues in general theory of relativity. The model has a coasting evolution (i.e., a \propto t). It claims the absence of all the aforementioned puzzles in the standard model and has very good predictions. In the first two chapters of the thesis, we review the general theory of relativity, the standard model in cosmology, its successes, the problems in it and also the most successful of those attempts to solve them, namely, the inflationary and decaying vacuum models. In the third chapter, we present and discuss the new cosmological model in detail. The fourth chapter is concerned with quantum cosmology. We briefly review the canonical quantisation programme of solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, then apply the procedure to our model and show that it satisfies many of the much sought-after ideals of this formalism. The last chapter of the thesis compares the new model with other ones. It also discusses the appearance of a Casimir type negative energy density in it and the prospects and challenges ahead for the model.

We consider an Ising competitive model defined over a triangular Husimi tree where loops, responsible for an explicit frustration, are even allowed. After a critical analysis of the phase diagram, in which a ``gas of non interacting dimers (or spin liquid) - ferro or antiferromagnetic ordered state'' transition is recognized in the frustrated regions, we introduce the disorder for studying the spin glass version of the model: the triangular +/- J model. We find out that, for any finite value of the averaged couplings, the model exhibits always a phase transition, even in the frustrated regions, where the transition turns out to be a glassy transition. The analysis of the random model is done by applying a recently proposed method which allows to derive the upper phase boundary of a random model through a mapping with a corresponding non random one.

In the era of digital transformation, new technological foundations and possibilities for collaboration, production as well as organization open up many opportunities to work differently in the future. The digitization of workflows results in new forms of working which is denoted by the term Work 4.0. In the context of Work 4.0, digital assistance systems play an important role as they give users additional situation-specific information about a workflow or a product via displays, mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, or data glasses. Furthermore, such digital assistance systems can be used to provide instructions and technical support in the working process as well as for training purposes. However, existing digital assistance systems are mostly created focusing on the "design for all" paradigm neglecting the situation-specific tasks, skills, preferences, or environments of an individual human worker. To overcome this issue, we present a monitoring and adaptation framework for supporting self-adaptive digital assistance systems for Work 4.0. Our framework supports context monitoring as well as UI adaptation for augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-based digital assistance systems. The benefit of our framework is shown based on exemplary case studies from different domains, e.g. context-aware maintenance application in AR or warehouse management training in VR.

Annotating seismic data is expensive, laborious and subjective due to the number of years required for seismic interpreters to attain proficiency in interpretation. In this paper, we develop a framework to automate annotating pixels of a seismic image to delineate geological structural elements given image-level labels assigned to each image. Our framework factorizes the latent space of a deep encoder-decoder network by projecting the latent space to learned sub-spaces. Using constraints in the pixel space, the seismic image is further factorized to reveal confidence values on pixels associated with the geological element of interest. Details of the annotated image are provided for analysis and qualitative comparison is made with similar frameworks.

Measurements are a primitive for characterizing quantum systems. Reducing the time taken to perform a measurement may be beneficial in many areas of quantum information processing. We show that permuting the eigenvalues of the state matrix in the logical basis, using open loop control, provides a $O(n)$ reduction in the measurement time, where $n$ is the number of qubits in the register. This reduction is of the same order as the (previously introduced) locally optimal feedback protocol. The advantage of the open loop protocol is that it is far less difficult experimentally. Because the control commutes with the measured observable at all times, our rapid measurement protocol could be used for characterizing a quantum system, by state or process tomography, or to implement measurement-based quantum error correction.

The weak lensing signal (cosmic shear) has been shown to be strongly contaminated by the various types of galaxy intrinsic alignment (IA) correlations, which poses a barrier to precision weak lensing measurements. The redshift dependence of the IA signal has been used at the 2-point level to reduce this contamination by only measuring cross-correlations between large redshift bins, which significantly reduces the galaxy intrinsic ellipticity - intrinsic ellipticity (II) correlation. A self-calibration technique based on the redshift dependences of the IA correlations has also been proposed as a means to remove the 2-point IA contamination from the lensing signal. We explore here the redshift dependences of the IA and lensing bispectra in order to propose a self-calibration of the IA auto-correlations at the 3-point level (i.e. GGI, GII, and III), which can be well understood without the assumption of any particular IA model. We find that future weak lensing surveys will be able to measure the distinctive IA redshift dependence over ranges of $|\Delta z^P|\le 0.2$. Using conservative estimates of photo-z accuracy, we describe the 3-point self-calibration technique for the total IA signal, which can be accomplished through lensing tomography of photo-z bin size $\sim 0.01$. We find that the 3-point self-calibration can function at the accuracy of the 2-point technique with modest constraints in redshift separation. This allows the 3-point IA auto-correlation self-calibration technique proposed here to significantly reduce the contamination of the IA contamination to the weak lensing bispectrum.

Relative merits and limiting factors for x-ray and electron microscopy of thick, hydrated organic materials (revised)

Electron and x-ray microscopes allow one to image the entire, unlabeled structure of hydrated materials at a resolution well beyond what visible light microscopes can achieve. However, both approaches involve ionizing radiation, so that radiation damage must be considered as one of the limits to imaging. Drawing upon earlier work, we describe here a unified approach to estimating the image contrast (and thus the required exposure and corresponding radiation dose) in both x-ray and electron microscopy. This approach accounts for factors such as plural and inelastic scattering, and (in electron microscopy) the use of energy filters to obtain so-called "zero loss" images. As expected, it shows that electron microscopy offers lower dose for specimens thinner than about 1 micron (such as for studies of macromolecules, viruses, bacteria and archaebacteria, and thin sectioned material), while x-ray microscopy offers superior characteristics for imaging thicker specimen such as whole eukaryotic cells, thick-sectioned tissues, and organs. The required radiation dose scales strongly as a function of the desired spatial resolution, allowing one to understand the limits of live and frozen hydrated specimen imaging. Finally, we consider the factors limiting x-ray microscopy of thicker materials, suggesting that specimens as thick as a whole mouse brain can be imaged with x-ray microscopes without significant image degradation should appropriate image reconstruction methods be identified. The as-published article [Ultramicroscopy 184, 293--309 (2018); doi:10.1016/j.ultramic.2017.10.003] had some minor mistakes that we correct here, with all changes from the as-published article shown in blue.

The focus in this paper is Bayesian system identification based on noisy incomplete modal data where we can impose spatially-sparse stiffness changes when updating a structural model. To this end, based on a similar hierarchical sparse Bayesian learning model from our previous work, we propose two Gibbs sampling algorithms. The algorithms differ in their strategies to deal with the posterior uncertainty of the equation-error precision parameter, but both sample from the conditional posterior probability density functions (PDFs) for the structural stiffness parameters and system modal parameters. The effective dimension for the Gibbs sampling is low because iterative sampling is done from only three conditional posterior PDFs that correspond to three parameter groups, along with sampling of the equation-error precision parameter from another conditional posterior PDF in one of the algorithms where it is not integrated out as a "nuisance" parameter. A nice feature from a computational perspective is that it is not necessary to solve a nonlinear eigenvalue problem of a structural model. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithms are illustrated by applying them to the IASE-ASCE Phase II simulated and experimental benchmark studies. The goal is to use incomplete modal data identified before and after possible damage to detect and assess spatially-sparse stiffness reductions induced by any damage. Our past and current focus on meeting challenges arising from Bayesian inference of structural stiffness serve to strengthen the capability of vibration-based structural system identification but our methods also have much broader applicability for inverse problems in science and technology where system matrices are to be inferred from noisy partial information about their eigenquantities.

We compute hybrid static potentials in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using a multilevel algorithm and three different small lattice spacings. The resulting static potentials, which are valid for quark-antiquark separations as small as 0.05 fm, are important e.g. when computing masses of heavy hybrid mesons in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. We also discuss and exclude possible systematic errors from topological freezing, the finite lattice volume and glueball decays.

We then define a local homeomorphism on the tight spectrum that is a generalization of the shift map for graphs, and show that the defined groupoid is isomorphic to the Renault-Deaconu groupoid for this local homeomorphism. Finally, we show that the C*-algebra of this groupoid is isomorphic to the C*-algebra of the labelled space as introduced by Bates and Pask.

We analyse the singular behaviour of one-loop integrals and scattering amplitudes in the framework of the loop--tree duality approach. We show that there is a partial cancellation of singularities at the loop integrand level among the different components of the corresponding dual representation that can be interpreted in terms of causality. The remaining threshold and infrared singularities are restricted to a finite region of the loop momentum space, which is of the size of the external momenta and can be mapped to the phase-space of real corrections to cancel the soft and collinear divergences.

Aims: We study the Galactic large-scale synchrotron emission by generating a reliable all-sky spectral index map and temperature map at 45 MHz. Methods: We use our observations, the published all-sky map at 408 MHz, and a bibliographical compilation to produce a map corrected for zero-level offset and extragalactic contribution. Results: We present full sky maps of the Galactic emission at 45 MHz and the Galactic spectral index between 45 and 408 MHz with an angular resolution of 5\degs. The spectral index varies between 2.1 and 2.7, reaching values below 2.5 at low latitude because of thermal free-free absorption and its maximum in the zone next to the Northern Spur.

We consider a general model of a heterogeneous polymer chain fluctuating in the proximity of an interface between two selective solvents. The heterogeneous character of the model comes from the fact that the monomer units interact with the solvents and with the interface according to some charges that they carry. The charges repeat themselves along the chain in a periodic fashion. The main question concerning this model is whether the polymer remains tightly close to the interface, a phenomenon called localization, or whether there is a marked preference for one of the two solvents, thus yielding a delocalization phenomenon. In this paper, we present an approach that yields sharp estimates for the partition function of the model in all regimes (localized, delocalized and critical). This, in turn, makes possible a precise pathwise description of the polymer measure, obtaining the full scaling limits of the model. A key point is the closeness of the polymer measure to suitable Markov renewal processes, Markov renewal theory being one of the central mathematical tools of our analysis.

Memory trace analysis is an important technology for architecture research, system software (i.e., OS, compiler) optimization, and application performance improvements. Hardware-snooping is an effective and efficient approach to monitor and collect memory traces. Compared with software-based approaches, memory traces collected by hardware-based approaches are usually lack of semantic information, such as process/function/loop identifiers, virtual address and I/O access. In this paper we propose a hybrid hardware/software mechanism which is able to collect memory reference trace as well as semantic information. Based on this mechanism, we designed and implemented a prototype system called HMTT (Hybrid Memory Trace Tool) which adopts a DIMMsnooping mechanism to snoop on memory bus and a software-controlled tracing mechanism to inject semantic information into normal memory trace. To the best of our knowledge, the HMTT system is the first hardware tracing system capable of correlating memory trace with high-level events. Comprehensive validations and evaluations show that the HMTT system has both hardware's (e.g., no distortion or pollution) and software's advantages (e.g., flexibility and more information).

We present the state-of-the-art of the light-cone sum rule approach to Baryon form factors. The essence of this approach is that soft Feynman contributions are calculated in terms of small transverse distance quantities using dispersion relations and duality. The form factors are thus expressed in terms of nucleon wave functions at small transverse separations, called distribution amplitudes, without any additional parameters. The distribution amplitudes, therefore, can be extracted from the comparison with the experimental data on form factors and compared to the results of lattice QCD simulations.

As part of the VESTIGE survey, a blind narrow-band Ha+[NII] imaging survey of the Virgo cluster carried out with MegaCam at the CFHT, we discovered 8 massive lenticular galaxies with prominent ionised gas emission features in their inner (few kpc) regions. These features are either ionised gas filaments similar to those observed in cooling flows (2 gal), or thin discs with sizes 0.7<R(Ha)<2.0 kpc (6 gal), thus significantly smaller than those of the stellar disc. These discs have morphological properties similar to those of the dust seen in absorption in high-resolution HST images. Using a unique set of multifrequency data we show that while the gas located within these inner discs is photoionised by young stars, signaling ongoing star formation, the gas in the filamentary structures is shock-ionised. These discs have a star formation surface brightness similar to those observed in late-type galaxies. Because of their reduced size, however, these lenticular galaxies are located below the main sequence of unperturbed or cluster star-forming systems. By comparing the dust masses measured from absorption maps in optical images, from the Balmer decrement, or estimated by fitting the UV-to-far-IR spectral energy distribution of the target galaxies, we confirm that those derived from optical attenuation maps are heavily underestimated because of geometrical effects due to the relative distribution of the absorbing dust and the emitting stars. We have also shown that these galaxies have gas-to-dust ratios of G/D~80, and that the star formation within these discs follows the Schmidt relation, albeit with an efficiency reduced by a factor of ~ 2.5. Using our unique set of multifrequency data, we discuss the possible origin of the ionised gas in these objects, which suggests multiple and complex formation scenarios for massive lenticular galaxies in clusters.

An analysis is given of inflation based on a supersymmetric Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action in an axionic landscape. The DBI model we discuss involves a landscape of chiral superfields with one $U(1)$ shift symmetry which is broken by instanton type non-perturbative terms in the superpotential. Breaking of the shift symmetry leads to one pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone-boson which acts as the inflaton while the remaining normalized phases of the chiral fields generically labeled axions are invariant under the $U(1)$ shift symmetry. The analysis is carried out in the vacuum with stabilized saxions, which are the magnitudes of the chiral fields. Regions of the parameter space where slow-roll inflation occurs are exhibited and the spectral indices as well as the ratio of the tensor to the scalar power spectrum are computed. An interesting aspect of supersymmetric DBI models analyzed is that in most of the parameter space tensor to scalar ratio and scalar spectral index are consistent with Planck data if slow roll occurs and is not eternal. Also interesting is that the ratio of the tensor to the scalar power spectrum can be large and can lie close to the experimental upper limit and thus testable in improved experiment. Non-Gaussianity in this class of models is explored.

The issue of a starburst-AGN connection in local and distant galaxies is relevant for understanding galaxy formation and evolution, the star formation and metal enrichment history of the universe, the origin of the extragalactic background at low and high energies, and the origin of nuclear activity in galaxies. Here I review some of the observational evidence recently brought forward in favor of a connection between the starburst and AGN phenomena. I conclude by raising a number of questions concerning the exact nature of this connection.

We consider the actions of protocols involving local quantum operations and classical communication (LQCC) on a single system consisting of two separated qubits. We give a complete description of the orbits of the space of states under LQCC and characterise the representatives with maximal entanglement of formation. We thus obtain a LQCC entanglement concentration protocol for a single given state (pure or mixed) of two qubits which is optimal in the sense that the protocol produces, with non-zero probability, a state of maximal possible entanglement of formation. This defines a new entanglement measure, the maximum extractable entanglement.

We propose a sufficient criterion ${S}=\lambda_1+\lambda_2-(\lambda_1-\lambda_2)^2<0$ to detect Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering for arbitrary two-qubit density matrix $\rho_{AB}$. Here $\lambda_1,\lambda_2$ are respectively the minimal and the second minimal eigenvalues of $\rho^{T_B}_{AB}$, which is the partial transpose of $\rho_{AB}$. By investigating several typical two-qubit states such as the isotropic state, Bell-diagonal state, maximally entangled mixed state, etc., we show this criterion works efficiently and can make reasonable predictions for steerability. We also present a mixed state of which steerability always exists, and compare the result with the violation of steering inequalities.
