A money transfer involves a buyer and a seller. A buyer buys goods or services from a seller. The money the buyer decreases is the same as that the seller increases. At each time step, a pair of socially connected agents are selected and transact in agreed money. We evolve the Deffuant model to a money exchange system and study circumstances under which asymptotic stability holds, or equal wealth can be achieved.

If the objects responsible for gravitational microlensing (ML) of Galactic-bulge stars are faint dwarfs, then blended light from the lens will distort the shape of the ML light curve and shift the color of the observed star during the event. The resolution in current surveys is not accurate enough to observe this effect, but it should be detected with frequent and precise followup observations. We calculate the expected rates for ML events where the shape distortions will be observable by such followup observations, assuming that the lenses are ordinary main-sequence stars in a bar and in the disk. We study the dependence of the rates for color-shifted (CS) events on the frequency of followup observations and on the precision of the photometry for a variety of waveband pairings. We find that for hourly observations in $B$ and $K$ with typical photometric errors of 0.01 mag, 28\% of the events where a main-sequence bulge star is lensed, and 7\% of the events where the source is a bulge giant, will give rise to a measurable CS at the 95\% confidence level. For observations in $V$ and $I$, the fractions become 18\% and 5\%, respectively, but may be increased to 40\% and 13\% by improved photometric accuracy and increased sampling frequency. We outline how the mass, distance, and transverse speed of the lens can be obtained, giving examples of typical errors. We discuss how CS events can be distinguished from events where the source is blended with a binary companion.

Liposomes that achieve a heterogeneous and spatially organized surface through phase separation have been recognized to be a promising platform for delivery purposes. However, their design and optimization through experimentation can be expensive and time-consuming. To assist with the design and reduce the associated cost, we propose a computational platform for modeling membrane coarsening dynamics based on the principles of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics. This model couples phase separation to lateral flow and accounts for different membrane fluidity within the different phases, which is known to affect the coarsening dynamics on lipid membranes. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental data in terms of liquid ordered domains area fraction, total domains perimeter over time and total number of domains over time for two different membrane compositions (DOPC:DPPC with a 1:1 molar ratio with 15% Chol and DOPC:DPPC with a 1:2 molar ratio with 25% Chol) that yield opposite and nearly inverse phase behavior. This quantitative validation shows that the developed platform can be a valuable tool in complementing experimental practice.

We investigate the two-dimensional t-J model at a hole doping of x = 1/8 and J/t = 0.35 with exact diagonalization. The low-energy states are uniform (not striped). We find numerous excited states with charge density wave structures, which may be interpreted as striped phases. Some of these are consistent with neutron scattering data on the cuprates and nickelates.

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element method is developed to simulate the heat distribution in the human eye with different types of tumors to understand the effect of tumors on heat distribution in the human eye. The human eye is modeled as a composition of several homogeneous regions and the physical and thermal properties of each region used in this study are more accurate than the models used in previous studies. By considering the exact and complicated geometry of all parts, the finite element method is a proper solution for solving the heat equation inside the human eye. There are two kinds of boundary conditions called the radiation condition and the Robin condition. The radiation boundary condition is modeled as a Robin boundary condition. For modeling eye tumors and their effect on heat distribution, we need information about eye tumor properties such as heat conductivity, density, specific heat, and so on. Thanks to no accurate reported information about eye tumor properties, the properties of other types of tumors such as skin, and bowel tumors are used. Simulation results with different parameters of eye tumors show the effect of eye tumors on heat distribution in the human eye.

Twisted double bilayer graphene (tDBLG) is a moir\'e material that has recently generated significant interest because of the observation of correlated phases near the magic angle. We carry out atomistic Hartree theory calculations to study the role of electron-electron interactions in the normal state. In contrast to twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG), we find that such interactions do not result in significant doping-dependent deformations of the electronic band structure. However, interactions play an important role for the electronic structure in the presence of a perpendicular electric field as they screen the external field. Finally, we analyze the contribution of the Hartree potential to the crystal field, i.e. the on-site energy difference between the inner and outer layers. We find that the on-site energy obtained from Hartree theory has the same sign, but a smaller magnitude compared to previous studies in which the on-site energy was determined by fitting tight-binding results to ab initio density-functional theory (DFT) band structures. To understand this quantitative difference, we analyze the ab initio Kohn-Sham potential obtained from DFT and find that a subtle interplay of electron-electron and electron-ion interactions determines the magnitude of the on-site potential.

The effcient generation of entangled photons at telecom wavelength is crucial for the success of many quantum communication protocols and the development of fiber-based quantum networks. Entangled light can be generated by solid state quantum emitters with naturally low fine structure splitting, such as highly symmetric InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on (111)-oriented surfaces. Incorporating this kind of QDs into optical cavities is critical to achieve sufficient signal intensitiesfor applications, but has so far shown major complications. In this work we present droplet epitaxy of telecom-wavelength InAs QDs within an optical cavity on a vicinal (2{\deg} miscut) GaAs(111)A substrate. We show a remarkable enhancement of the photon extraction efficiency compared to previous reports together with a reduction of the density that facilitates the isolation of single spectral lines. Moreover, we characterise the exciton fine structure splitting and employ numerical simulations under the framework of the empirical pseudopotential and configuration interaction methods to study the impact of the miscut on the optical properties of the QDs. We demonstrate that the presence of miscut steps influences the polarisation of the excitonic states and introduces a preferential orientation in the $C_{3v}$ symmetry of the surface.

A survey is given of supersymmetry and supergravity and their phenomenology. Some of the topics discussed are the basic ideas of global supersymmetry, the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and its phenomenology, the basic ideas of local supersymmetry (supergravity), grand unification, supersymmetry breaking in supergravity grand unified models, radiative breaking of $SU(2) \times U(1)$, proton decay, cosmological constraints, and predictions of supergravity grand unified models. While the number of detailed derivations are necessarily limited, a sufficient number of results are given so that a reader can get a working knowledge of this field.

Teleoperation offers the possibility of imparting robotic systems with sophisticated reasoning skills, intuition, and creativity to perform tasks. However, current teleoperation solutions for high degree-of-actuation (DoA), multi-fingered robots are generally cost-prohibitive, while low-cost offerings usually provide reduced degrees of control. Herein, a low-cost, vision based teleoperation system, DexPilot, was developed that allows for complete control over the full 23 DoA robotic system by merely observing the bare human hand. DexPilot enables operators to carry out a variety of complex manipulation tasks that go beyond simple pick-and-place operations. This allows for collection of high dimensional, multi-modality, state-action data that can be leveraged in the future to learn sensorimotor policies for challenging manipulation tasks. The system performance was measured through speed and reliability metrics across two human demonstrators on a variety of tasks. The videos of the experiments can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/dex-pilot.

Recently a model for the interplay between homophily-based appraisal dynamics and influence-based opinion dynamics has been proposed. The model explores for the first time how the opinions of a group of agents on a certain number of issues/topics is influenced by the agents' mutual appraisal and, conversely, the agents' mutual appraisal is updated based on the agents' opinions on the various issues, according to a homophily model. In this paper we show that a simplified (and, in some situations, more feasible) version of the model, that accounts only for the signs of the agents' appraisals rather than for their numerical values, provides an equally accurate and effective model of the opinion dynamics in small networks. The equilibria reached by this model correspond, almost surely, to situations in which the agents' network is complete and structurally balanced. On the other hand, we ensure that such equlibria can always be reached in a finite number of steps, and, differently from the original model, we rule out other types of equilibria that correspond to disconnected social networks.

We present a first-principles study of excitonic self-trapping in diamond. Our calculation provides evidence for self-trapping of the 1s core exciton and gives a coherent interpretation of recent experimental X-ray absorption and emission data. Self-trapping does not occur in the case of a single valence exciton. We predict, however, that self-trapping should occur in the case of a valence biexciton. This process is accompanied by a large local relaxation of the lattice which could be observed experimentally.

JSON is an essential file and data format in do-mains that span scientific computing, web APIs or configuration management. Its popularity has motivated significant software development effort to build multiple libraries to process JSON data. Previous studies focus on performance comparison among these libraries and lack a software engineering perspective.We present the first systematic analysis and comparison of the input / output behavior of 20 JSON libraries, in a single software ecosystem: Java/Maven. We assess behavior diversity by running each library against a curated set of 473 JSON files, including both well-formed and ill-formed files. The main design differences, which influence the behavior of the libraries, relate to the choice of data structure to represent JSON objects and to the encoding of numbers. We observe a remarkable behavioral diversity with ill-formed files, or corner cases such as large numbers or duplicate data. Our unique behavioral assessment of JSON libraries paves the way for a robust processing of ill-formed files, through a multi-version architecture.

Graphene/silicon heterostructures have attracted tremendous interest as a new platform for diverse electronic and photonic devices such as barristors, solar cells, optical modulators, and chemical sensors. The studies to date largely focus on junctions between graphene and lightly-doped silicon, where a Schottky barrier is believed to dominate the carrier transport process. Here we report a systematic investigation of carrier transport across the heterojunctions formed between graphene and highly-doped silicon. By varying the silicon doping level and the measurement temperature, we show that the carrier transport across the graphene/p++-Si heterojunction is dominated by tunneling effect through the native oxide. We further demonstrate that the tunneling current can be effectively modulated by the external gate electrical field, resulting in a vertical tunneling transistor. Benefited from the large density of states of highly doped silicon, our tunneling transistors can deliver a current density over 20 A/cm2, about two orders of magnitude higher than previous graphene/insulator/graphene tunneling transistor at the same on/off ratio.

Revisiting Table Detection Datasets for Visually Rich Documents

Table Detection has become a fundamental task for visually rich document understanding with the surging number of electronic documents. There have been some open datasets widely used in many studies. However, popular available datasets have some inherent limitations, including the noisy and inconsistent samples, and the limit number of training samples, and the limit number of data-sources. These limitations make these datasets unreliable to evaluate the model performance and cannot reflect the actual capacity of models. Therefore, in this paper, we revisit some open datasets with high quality of annotations, identify and clean the noise, and align the annotation definitions of these datasets to merge a larger dataset, termed with Open-Tables. Moreover, to enrich the data sources, we propose a new dataset, termed with ICT-TD, using the PDF files of Information and communication technologies (ICT) commodities which is a different domain containing unique samples that hardly appear in open datasets. To ensure the label quality of the dataset, we annotated the dataset manually following the guidance of a domain expert. The proposed dataset has a larger intra-variance and smaller inter-variance, making it more challenging and can be a sample of actual cases in the business context. We built strong baselines using various state-of-the-art object detection models and also built the baselines in the cross-domain setting. Our experimental results show that the domain difference among existing open datasets are small, even they have different data-sources. Our proposed Open-tables and ICT-TD are more suitable for the cross domain setting, and can provide more reliable evaluation for model because of their high quality and consistent annotations.

Magnetic fields can be created in stably stratified (non-convective) layers in a differentially rotating star. A magnetic instability in the toroidal field (wound up by differential rotation) replaces the role of convection in closing the field amplification loop. Tayler instability is likely to be the most relevant magnetic instability. A dynamo model is developed from these ingredients, and applied to the problem of angular momentum transport in stellar interiors. It produces a prodominantly horizontal field. This dynamo process might account for the observed pattern of rotation in the solar core.

Weak value amplification is a classical phenomenon that can enhance the sensitivity of a measurement through clever use of interference. The most well-known paradigm of weak value amplification makes use of a Gaussian pulse, which is typical of pulsed laser systems. In this Letter we show that chirped pulses have a great advantage over Gaussians at detecting frequency shifts thanks to the large phase space area that they cover. As an example, we show that within the typical operative parameters of a radar, we can achieve two orders of magnitude amplification of small frequency shifts \emph{on top of the weak value amplification}. This idea could lead to new metrological avenues in the microwave optics domain, and to Doppler radar technology with unprecedented sensitivity.

In the paper, based on recent studies on $T\bar{T}$ deformation of 2D field theory with supersymmetry, we investigate the deformed correlation functions in $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ and $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ 2D superconformal field theories. Up to the leading order in perturbation theory, we compute the correlation functions under $T\bar{T}$ deformation. The correlation functions in these undeformed theories are almost known, and together with the help of superconformal Ward identity in $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ and $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ theories respectively we can obtain the correlation functions with operator $T\bar{T}$ inserted. Finally, by employing dimensional regularization, we can work out the integrals in the first order perturbation. The study in this paper extends previous works on the correlation functions of $T\bar{T}$ deformed bosonic CFT to the supersymmetric case.

Deep learning technique has yielded significant improvements in point cloud completion with the aim of completing missing object shapes from partial inputs. However, most existing methods fail to recover realistic structures due to over-smoothing of fine-grained details. In this paper, we develop a voxel-based network for point cloud completion by leveraging edge generation (VE-PCN). We first embed point clouds into regular voxel grids, and then generate complete objects with the help of the hallucinated shape edges. This decoupled architecture together with a multi-scale grid feature learning is able to generate more realistic on-surface details. We evaluate our model on the publicly available completion datasets and show that it outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches quantitatively and qualitatively. Our source code is available at https://github.com/xiaogangw/VE-PCN.

We propose a scheme in which an arbitrary incidence can be made perfectly reflected/transmitted if a phase setup is adjusted under a specific condition. We analyze the intracavity field variation as well as the output field with changing closed-loop phase of atomic system and relative phase of input probe beams. And we obtain the condition for perfect transmitter or reflector. By adjusting two phase setups, the medium absorption and light interference can be controlled so that photon escape from cavity can be modulated, thus the intensity switching based on phase control can be realized. Then based on the transmission/reflection analysis, total absorption of this system can be investigated. Therefore our scheme can be used as an absorption interferometer to explore the optical absorption in some complicated system. The phase delay dependent on phi_1 or phi_2 in output light intensity can be applied in the realization of quantum phase gate and subtle wave filter. And based on this scheme, we implement the state transfer between perfect transmitter/reflector and non-perfect coherent photon absorber via relative-phase modulation.

The Dynamics of Bistable Switching Behavior in Limit Cycle Systems with Additive Noise

Additive noise is known to produce counter-intuitive behaviors in nonlinear dynamical systems. Previously, it was shown that systems with a deterministic limit cycle can display bistable switching between metastable states in the presence of asymmetric additive white noise. Here, we systematically analyze the dynamics of this bistable behavior and show how the vector field away from the limit cycle influences the rate and directionality of the bistable switching. Using stochastic phase reduction methods, we identify mechanisms underlying different rates of switching and predict when the system will rotate in the opposite direction of the deterministic limit cycle. Thus, this work presents an alternative mechanism for generating a range of bistable switch-like behaviors that have been observed in a number of physical systems.

Nematic elastomers and glasses deform spontaneously when subjected to temperature changes. This property can be exploited in the design of heterogeneously patterned thin sheets that deform into a non-trivial shape when heated or cooled. In this paper, we start from a variational formulation for the entropic elastic energy of liquid crystal elastomers and we derive an effective two-dimensional metric constraint, which links the deformation and the heterogeneous director field. Our main results show that satisfying the metric constraint is both necessary and sufficient for the deformation to be an approximate minimizer of the energy. We include several examples which show that the class of deformations satisfying the metric constraint is quite rich.

We present chemical abundances for four main sequence B stars in the young cluster NGC 2004 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Apart from H II regions, unevolved OB-type stars are currently the only accessible source of present-day CNO abundances for the MCs not altered by stellar evolution. Using UVES on the VLT, we obtained spectra of sufficient resolution (R = 20 000) and signal-to-noise (S/N > 100) to derive abundances for a variety of elements (He, C, N, O, Mg and Si) with NLTE line formation. This study doubles the number of main sequence B stars in the LMC with detailed chemical abundances. More importantly and in contrast to previous studies, we find no CNO abundance anomalies brought on by e.g. binary interaction or rotational mixing. Thus, this is the first time that abundances from H II regions in the LMC can sensibly be cross-checked against those from B stars by excluding evolutionary effects. We confirm the H II-region CNO abundances to within the errors, in particular the extraordinarily low nitrogen abundance of epsilon(N) around 7.0. Taken at face value, the nebular carbon abundance is 0.16 dex below the B-star value which could be interpreted in terms of interstellar dust depletion. Oxygen abundances from the two sources agree to within 0.03 dex. In comparison with the Galactic thin disk at MC metallicities, the Magellanic Clouds are clearly nitrogen-poor environments.

Open clusters are useful tools to investigate the structure and evolution of the Galactic disk. We have started a long-term project to obtain UBVI CCD Photometry of open clusters which were little studied before, using the Doyak 1.8 m telescope of Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory in Korea. The primary goals of this project are (1) to make a catalog of UBVI photometry of open clusters, (2) to make an atlas of open clusters, and (3) to survey and monitor variable stars in open clusters. Here we describe this project and report the first results based on preliminary analysis of the data on four open clusters in the survey sample: Be 14, Cr 74, Biu 9, and NGC 2355. Isochrone fitting of the color-magnitude diagrams of the clusters shows that all of them are intermediate age to old (0.3 - 1.6 Gyrs) open clusters with moderate metallicity.

We study the effect of the radiation parameter in the location, stability and orbital dynamics in the Lagrange configuration of the restricted four-body problem when one of the primaries is a radiating body. The equations of motion for the test particle are derived by assuming that the primaries revolve in the same plane with uniform angular velocity, and regardless of their mass distribution, they will always lie at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The insertion of the radiation factor in the restricted four-body problem, let us model more realistically the dynamics of a test particle orbiting an astrophysical system with an active star. The dynamical mechanisms responsible for the smoothening on the basin structures of the configuration space is related to the decrease in the total number of fixed points with increasing values of the radiation parameter. In our model of the Sun-Jupiter-Trojan Asteroid system, it is found that despite the repulsive character of the solar radiation pressure, there exist two stable libration points roughly located at the position of L4 and L5 in the Sun-Jupiter system.

We present a simple non-hermitian model to describe the phenomenon of asymmetric tunneling between two energy-degenerate sites coupled by a non-reciprocal interaction without dissipation. The system was described using a biorthogonal family of energy eigenvectors, the dynamics of the system was determined by the Schr\"odinger equation, and unitarity was effectively restored by proper normalization of the state vectors. The results show that the tunneling rates are indeed asymmetrical in this model, leading to an equilibrium that displays unequal occupation of the degenerate systems even in the absence of external interactions.

Our method uses frequency local estimates on the nonlinear term, and yields an extension of the classical Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin criterion.

Many real-world domains require safe decision making in the presence of uncertainty. In this work, we propose a deep reinforcement learning framework for approaching this important problem. We consider a risk-averse perspective towards model uncertainty through the use of coherent distortion risk measures, and we show that our formulation is equivalent to a distributionally robust safe reinforcement learning problem with robustness guarantees on performance and safety. We propose an efficient implementation that only requires access to a single training environment, and we demonstrate that our framework produces robust, safe performance on a variety of continuous control tasks with safety constraints in the Real-World Reinforcement Learning Suite.

The spectral landscape and the transport property of a translationally invariant network with side-coupled quantum dots are demonstrated within the tight-binding framework. For periodic environment band structure is demonstrated analytically in details. Moreover, if the side-coupling here follows a typical quasiperiodic Aubry-Andre-Harper type of modulation then such off-diagonal disorder invites an exotic spectral feature for this model quantum system. We perform an in-depth numerical analysis followed by the evaluation of the density of eigenstates and the inverse participation ratio. The description shows that this network creates a typical self-similar kind of multifractal pattern in the energy landscape. The impacts of the strength of such aperiodic connectivity and the slowness parameter are reported in this analysis. In the present era of advanced technology and lithography techniques all such non-trivial results definitely throw an achievable challenge to the experimentalists to study the localization of excitation in such network

Dense active matter, in the fluid or amorphous-solid form, has generated intense interest as a model for the dynamics inside living cells and multicellular systems. An extension of the random first-order transition theory (RFOT) to include activity was developed, whereby the activity of the individual particles was added to the free energy of the system in the form of the potential energy of an active particle, trapped by a harmonic potential that describes the effective confinement by the surrounding medium. This active-RFOT model was shown to successfully account for the dependence of the structural relaxation time in the active glass, extracted from simulations, as a function of the activity parameters: the magnitude of the active force ($f_0$) and its persistence time ($\tau_p$). However, significant deviations were found in the limit of large activity (large $f_0$ and/or $\tau_p$). Here we extend the active-RFOT model to high activity using an activity-dependent harmonic confining potential, which we solve self-consistently. The extended model predicts qualitative changes in the high activity regime, which agree with the results of simulations in both three-dimensional and two-dimensional models of active glass.

We show that in the limit of small coupling to the environment it exhibits a non-monotonous behavior with a maximum voltage followed by a parametrically large region where $V\propto 1/I$. We argue that its experimental measurement provides a direct probe of the amplitude of the quantum transitions in constituting Josephson circuits and thus allows their full characterization.

The recent discovery of periodic pulsations from several members of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) family in nearby galaxies as well as in our own galaxy unveiled the nature of the accreting compact object. Neutron stars rather than black holes are currently believed to power a substantial number of ULXs whether or not pulsations are observed. The detection of cyclotron absorption lines in the X-ray spectrum of a ULX provides an alternative way to identify the compact object as a neutron star. Among the non-pulsating ULXs, the presence of a cyclotron resonance scattering feature (CRSF) in the spectrum of M51 ULX-8 has been reported. In the present work, the magnetic field strength on the surface of the neutron star in M51 ULX-8 is inferred from the energy of the observed CRSF to estimate the beaming fraction in X-ray emission and more importantly the observable range for the elusive neutron-star spin period to be hopefully discovered by the forthcoming space missions in the near future.

If G is a compactly generated polynomial growth Type R Lie group, and the action of G on S(M) (Schwartz functions on a locally compact G-space M) is tempered in a certain sense, then there is a natural smooth crossed product S(G X M) which is dense and spectral invariant in the C*-crossed product C*(G X M).

In this work, we present an experimental study of spin mediated enhanced negative magnetoresistance in Ni80Fe20 (50 nm)/p-Si (350 nm) bilayer. The resistance measurement shows a reduction of ~2.5% for the bilayer specimen as compared to 1.3% for Ni80Fe20 (50 nm) on oxide specimen for an out-of-plane applied magnetic field of 3T. In the Ni80Fe20-only film, the negative magnetoresistance behavior is attributed to anisotropic magnetoresistance. We propose that spin polarization due to spin-Hall effect is the underlying cause of the enhanced negative magnetoresistance observed in the bilayer. Silicon has weak spin orbit coupling so spin Hall magnetoresistance measurement is not feasible. We use V2{\omega} and V3{\omega} measurement as a function of magnetic field and angular rotation of magnetic field in direction normal to electric current to elucidate the spin-Hall effect. The angular rotation of magnetic field shows a sinusoidal behavior for both V2{\omega} and V3{\omega}, which is attributed to the spin phonon interactions resulting from the spin-Hall effect mediated spin polarization. We propose that the spin polarization leads to a decrease in hole-phonon scattering resulting in enhanced negative magnetoresistance.

In this paper we propose an unsupervised feature extraction method to capture temporal information on monocular videos, where we detect and encode subject of interest in each frame and leverage contrastive self-supervised (CSS) learning to extract rich latent vectors. Instead of simply treating the latent features of nearby frames as positive pairs and those of temporally-distant ones as negative pairs as in other CSS approaches, we explicitly disentangle each latent vector into a time-variant component and a time-invariant one. We then show that applying contrastive loss only to the time-variant features and encouraging a gradual transition on them between nearby and away frames while also reconstructing the input, extract rich temporal features, well-suited for human pose estimation. Our approach reduces error by about 50% compared to the standard CSS strategies, outperforms other unsupervised single-view methods and matches the performance of multi-view techniques. When 2D pose is available, our approach can extract even richer latent features and improve the 3D pose estimation accuracy, outperforming other state-of-the-art weakly supervised methods.

We propose a model for multi-objective optimization, a credo, for agents in a system that are configured into multiple groups (i.e., teams). Our model of credo regulates how agents optimize their behavior for the groups they belong to. We evaluate credo in the context of challenging social dilemmas with reinforcement learning agents. Our results indicate that the interests of teammates, or the entire system, are not required to be fully aligned for achieving globally beneficial outcomes. We identify two scenarios without full common interest that achieve high equality and significantly higher mean population rewards compared to when the interests of all agents are aligned.

This note studies a model for relativistic pure-radiation fluids with viscosity that was recently proposed by Bemfica, Disconzi and Noronha, and shows that there are shock waves whose continuous shock profiles, if existing, are oscillating in any variables. This behavior differs significantly from the situation in classical fluid dynamics, in which canonical state variables are monotone along the shock profile.

In this paper one considers three homotopy functors on the category of manifolds, $hH^\ast, cH^\ast, sH^\ast,$ and parallel them with other three homotopy functors on the category of connected commutative differential graded algebras, $HH^\ast, CH^\ast, SH^\ast.$ If $P$ is a smooth 1-connected manifold and the algebra is the de-Rham algebra of $P$ the two pairs of functors agree but in general do not. The functors $ HH^\ast $ and $CH^\ast$ can be also derived as Hochschild resp. cyclic homology of commutative differential graded algebra, but this is not the way they are introduced here. The third $SH^\ast ,$ although inspired from negative cyclic homology, can not be identified with any sort of cyclic homology of any algebra. The functor $sH^\ast$ might play some role in topology. Important tools in the construction of the functors $HH^\ast, CH^\ast $and $SH^\ast ,$ in addition to the linear algebra suggested by cyclic theory, are Sullivan minimal model theorem and the "free loop" construction described in this paper.

Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a popular likelihood-free inference method for models with intractable likelihood functions. As ABC methods usually rely on comparing summary statistics of observed and simulated data, the choice of the statistics is crucial. This choice involves a trade-off between loss of information and dimensionality reduction, and is often determined based on domain knowledge. However, handcrafting and selecting suitable statistics is a laborious task involving multiple trial-and-error steps. In this work, we introduce an active learning method for ABC statistics selection which reduces the domain expert's work considerably. By involving the experts, we are able to handle misspecified models, unlike the existing dimension reduction methods. Moreover, empirical results show better posterior estimates than with existing methods, when the simulation budget is limited.

We consider internal diffusion limited aggregation in dimension larger than or equal to two. This is a random cluster growth model, where random walks start at the origin of the d-dimensional lattice, one at a time, and stop moving when reaching a site that is not occupied by previous walks. It is known that the asymptotic shape of the cluster is a sphere. When the dimension is two or more, we have shown in a previous paper that the inner (resp., outer) fluctuations of its radius is at most of order $\log(\mathrm{radius})$ [resp., $\log^2(\mathrm{radius})$]. Using the same approach, we improve the upper bound on the inner fluctuation to $\sqrt{\log(\mathrm{radius})}$ when d is larger than or equal to three. The inner fluctuation is then used to obtain a similar upper bound on the outer fluctuation.

Patients who undergo mechanical heart valve replacements or have conditions like Atrial Fibrillation have to take Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) drugs to prevent coagulation of blood. These drugs have narrow therapeutic range and need to be very closely monitored due to life threatening side effects. The dosage of VKA drug is determined and revised by a physician based on Prothrombin Time - International Normalised Ratio (PT-INR) value obtained through a blood test. Our work aimed at predicting the maintenance dosage of warfarin, the present most widely recommended anticoagulant drug, using the de-identified medical data collected from 109 patients from Kerala. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) Regression model was built to predict the maintenance dosage of warfarin, for patients who have been undergoing treatment from a physician and have reached stable INR values between 2.0 and 4.0.

We present time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) results for strongly interacting one dimensional fermionic systems at finite temperature. When interactions are strong the characteristic spin energy can be greatly suppressed relative to the characteristic charge energy, allowing for the possibility of spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid physics when the temperature is high compared to the spin energy, but small compared to the charge energy. Using DMRG we compute the spectral properties of the $t-J$ model at arbitrary temperatures with respect to both spin and charge energies. We study the full crossover from the Luttinger liquid regime to the spin-incoherent regime,focusing on small $J/t$, where the signatures of spin-incoherent behavior are more manifest. Our method allows us to access the analytically intractable regime where temperature is of the order of the spin energy, $T\sim J$. Our results should be helpful in the interpretation of experiments that may be in the crossover regime, $T\sim J$, and apply to one-dimensional cold atomic gases where finite-temperature effects are appreciable. The technique may also be used to guide the development of analytical approximations for the crossover regime.

The one dimensional dilute Kondo lattice model is investigated by means of bosonization for different dilution patterns of the array of impurity spins. The physical picture is very different if a commensurate or incommensurate doping of the impurity spins is considered. For the commensurate case, the obtained phase diagram is verified using a non-Abelian density-matrix renormalization-group algorithm. The paramagnetic phase widens at the expense of the ferromagnetic phase as the $f$-spins are diluted. For the incommensurate case, antiferromagnetism is found at low doping, which distinguishes the dilute Kondo lattice model from the standard Kondo lattice model.

A unification of dark matter and dark energy based on a dynamical space time theory is suggested. By introducing a dynamical space time vector field $\chi_\mu$ as a Lagrange multiplier, a conservation of an energy momentum tensor $T^{\mu\nu}_{(\chi)}$ is implemented. This Lagrangian generalizes the "Unified dark energy and dark matter from a scalar field different from quintessence" [Phys.RevD 81, 043520 (2010)] which did not consider a Lagrangian formulation. This generalization allows the solutions which were found previously, but in addition to that also non singular bouncing solutions that rapidly approach to the $\Lambda$CDM model. The dynamical time vector field exactly coincides with the cosmic time for the a $\Lambda$CDM solution and suffers a slight shift (advances slower) with respect to the cosmic time in the region close to the bounce for the bouncing non singular solutions. In addition we introduced some exponential potential which could enter into the $T^{\mu\nu}_{(\chi)}$ stress energy tensor or coupled directly to the measure $\sqrt{-g}$, gives a possible interaction between DE and DM and could explain the coincidence problem.

Four decades ago, the firm detection of an Fe-K emission feature in the X-ray spectrum of the Perseus cluster revealed the presence of iron in its hot intracluster medium (ICM). With more advanced missions successfully launched over the last 20 years, this discovery has been extended to many other metals and to the hot atmospheres of many other galaxy clusters, groups, and giant elliptical galaxies, as evidence that the elemental bricks of life - synthesized by stars and supernovae - are also found at the largest scales of the Universe. Because the ICM, emitting in X-rays, is in collisional ionisation equilibrium, its elemental abundances can in principle be accurately measured. These abundance measurements, in turn, are valuable to constrain the physics and environmental conditions of the Type Ia and core-collapse supernovae that exploded and enriched the ICM over the entire cluster volume. On the other hand, the spatial distribution of metals across the ICM constitutes a remarkable signature of the chemical history and evolution of clusters, groups, and ellipticals. Here, we summarise the most significant achievements in measuring elemental abundances in the ICM, from the very first attempts up to the era of XMM-Newton, Chandra, and Suzaku and the unprecedented results obtained by Hitomi. We also discuss the current systematic limitations of these measurements and how the future missions XRISM and Athena will further improve our current knowledge of the ICM enrichment.

Increasing inhomogeneity due to gravitational clumping reflects increasing gravitational entropy in a time evolving universe. Starting from an ensemble of uniformly distributed particles it is demonstrated that gravitational clustering is subject to a specific quantization rule for the amount of increase of gravitational entropy during the formation of inhomogeneities. The gain of gravitational entropy at each higher order merging process within the system is shown to result as a natural consequence from an extremal condition involved. The resulting discrete spectrum of nested, bound structures of specific mass and radius, ranging from the particle physics scale to galaxies and super clusters, provides a unified view of fundamental inhomogeneity scales in the universe from gravitational entropy considerations. Consequently, also the gravitational arrow of time points in the direction of stepwise increasing entropy or inhomogeneity, respectively.

In this paper, at first, the impact of ImageNet pre-training on fine-grained Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) is investigated which shows that when enough augmentations on images are applied, training from scratch provides better result than fine-tuning on ImageNet pre-training. Next, we propose a method to improve fine-grained and in-the-wild FER, called Hybrid Multi-Task Learning (HMTL). HMTL uses Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) as an auxiliary task during classical Supervised Learning (SL) in the form of Multi-Task Learning (MTL). Leveraging SSL during training can gain additional information from images for the primary fine-grained SL task. We investigate how proposed HMTL can be used in the FER domain by designing two customized version of common pre-text task techniques, puzzling and in-painting. We achieve state-of-the-art results on the AffectNet benchmark via two types of HMTL, without utilizing pre-training on additional data. Experimental results on the common SSL pre-training and proposed HMTL demonstrate the difference and superiority of our work. However, HMTL is not only limited to FER domain. Experiments on two types of fine-grained facial tasks, i.e., head pose estimation and gender recognition, reveals the potential of using HMTL to improve fine-grained facial representation.

In recent years, hashing methods have been proved to be effective and efficient for the large-scale Web media search. However, the existing general hashing methods have limited discriminative power for describing fine-grained objects that share similar overall appearance but have subtle difference. To solve this problem, we for the first time introduce the attention mechanism to the learning of fine-grained hashing codes. Specifically, we propose a novel deep hashing model, named deep saliency hashing (DSaH), which automatically mines salient regions and learns semantic-preserving hashing codes simultaneously. DSaH is a two-step end-to-end model consisting of an attention network and a hashing network. Our loss function contains three basic components, including the semantic loss, the saliency loss, and the quantization loss. As the core of DSaH, the saliency loss guides the attention network to mine discriminative regions from pairs of images. We conduct extensive experiments on both fine-grained and general retrieval datasets for performance evaluation. Experimental results on fine-grained datasets, including Oxford Flowers-17, Stanford Dogs-120, and CUB Bird demonstrate that our DSaH performs the best for fine-grained retrieval task and beats the strongest competitor (DTQ) by approximately 10% on both Stanford Dogs-120 and CUB Bird. DSaH is also comparable to several state-of-the-art hashing methods on general datasets, including CIFAR-10 and NUS-WIDE.

Quantum computing technologies are making steady progress. This has opened new opportunities for tackling problems whose complexity prevents their description on classical computers. A prototypical example of these complex problems are interacting quantum many-body systems: on the one hand, these systems are known to become rapidly prohibitive to describe using classical computers when their size increases. On the other hand, these systems are precisely those which are used in the laboratory to build quantum computing platforms. This arguably makes them one of the most promising early use cases of quantum computing. In this review, we explain how quantum many-body systems are used to build quantum processors, and how, in turn, current and future quantum processors can be used to describe large many-body systems of fermions such as electrons and nucleons. The review includes an introduction to analog and digital quantum devices, the mapping of Fermi systems and their Hamiltonians onto qubit registers, as well as an overview of methods to access their static and dynamical properties. We also highlight some aspects related to entanglement, and touch on the description, influence and processing of decoherence in quantum devices.

Disclinations, first observed in mesomorphic phases, are relevant to a number of ill-ordered condensed matter media, with continuous symmetries or frustrated order. They also appear in polycrystals at the edges of grain boundaries. They are of limited interest in solid single crystals, where, owing to their large elastic stresses, they mostly appear in close pairs of opposite signs. The relaxation mechanisms associated with a disclination in its creation, motion, change of shape, involve an interplay with continuous or quantized dislocations and/or continuous disclinations. These are attached to the disclinations or are akin to Nye's dislocation densities, well suited here. The notion of 'extended Volterra process' takes these relaxation processes into account and covers different situations where this interplay takes place. These concepts are illustrated by applications in amorphous solids, mesomorphic phases and frustrated media in their curved habit space. The powerful topological theory of line defects only considers defects stable against relaxation processes compatible with the structure considered. It can be seen as a simplified case of the approach considered here, well suited for media of high plasticity or/and complex structures. Topological stability cannot guarantee energetic stability and sometimes cannot distinguish finer details of structure of defects.

Galaxies of rare morphology are of paramount scientific interest, as they carry important information about the past, present, and future universe. Once a rare galaxy is identified, studying it more effectively requires a set of galaxies of similar morphology, allowing generalization and statistical analysis that cannot be done when $N=1$. Databases generated by digital sky surveys can contain a very large number of galaxy images, and therefore once a rare galaxy of interest is identified it is possible that more instances of the same morphology are also present in the database. However, when a researcher identifies a certain galaxy of rare morphology in the database, it is virtually impossible to mine the database manually in the search for galaxies of similar morphology. Here we propose a computer method that can automatically search databases of galaxy images and identify galaxies that are morphologically similar to a certain user-defined query galaxy. That is, the researcher provides an image of a galaxy of interest, and the pattern recognition system automatically returns a list of galaxies that are visually similar to the target galaxy. The algorithm uses a comprehensive set of descriptors, allowing it to support different types of galaxies, and it is not limited to a finite set of known morphology. While the list of returned galaxies is neither clean nor complete, it contains a far higher frequency of galaxies of the morphology of interest, providing a substantial reduction of the data. Such algorithms can be integrated into data management systems of autonomous digital sky surveys such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), where the number of galaxies in the database is extremely large. The source code of the method is available at http://vfacstaff.ltu.edu/lshamir/downloads/udat.

Let $W\subset O(V)$ be the Weyl group of a root system $R\subset V$. If $a+b+c=0=a'+b'+c'$ with $a$, $b$ and $c$ respectively conjugated to $a'$, $b'$ and $c'$ in V , then $(a,b,c)$ is conjugated to $(a',b',c')$ in $V^3$ when each projection of $a$ to an irreducible component of $V$ is co-linear to a minuscule coweight.

We present an extensive analysis on several string solutions in AdS_5 x Ypq and find some interesting properties of their energy-spin relations. Their energy depends always on the parameter a(p,q) which characterizes these manifolds. The range of this parameter for the string solutions is constrained by the Sasaki-Einstein constraints that the solutions should satisfy. Hence some string solutions we find are not valid for the whole class of Ypq manifolds. For some of our solutions, when the maximum allowed value of a(p,q) corresponds to the string approaching the poles of the squashed sphere in Ypq, their energy at this limit approaches the BPS one. Thus certain non-BPS string solutions in the whole class of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, can become BPS in particular manifolds. For the solutions with this property we point out that this behavior is independent of the string motion in the other directions on the manifold. We expect that in the field theory the corresponding generic operators to these semi-classical strings, become BPS at certain quivers.

Designing molecular nanowires with high electrical conductance that facilitate efficient charge transport over long distances are highly desirable for future molecular-scale circuitry. However most of the molecular wires act as tunnel barriers and their electrical conductance is decaying exponentially with increasing the length. Just recently a few studies have shown increasing conductance with length. In this study, for the first time, we have identified new class of molecular wires that exhibit both increase and decrease of room temperature conductance with length (dual attenuation factor) depend on their connection points to electrodes. We show that this dual attenuation factor is an inherent property of these graphene-like nanowires and its demonstration depends on the constructive quantum interference pattern for different connectivities to electrode. This is significant because a given nanographene molecular wire can show both negative and positive attenuation factor. This enables a systematic design of connectivity dependent high/low-conductance molecular wires for future molecular-scale circuitry.

Broad line regions (BLRs) in high-redshift quasars provide crucial information of chemical enrichment in the early universe. Here we present a study of BLR metallicities in 33 quasars at redshift $5.7<z<6.4$. Using the near-IR spectra of the quasars obtained from the Gemini telescope, we measure their rest-frame UV emission line flux and calculate flux ratios. We then estimate BLR metallicities with empirical calibrations based on photoionization models. The inferred median metallicity of our sample is a few times the solar value, indicating that the BLR gas had been highly metal-enriched at $z\sim6$. We compare our sample with a low-redshift quasar sample with similar luminosities and find no evidence of redshift evolution in quasar BLR metallicities. This is consistent with previous studies. The Fe II$/$Mg II flux ratio, a proxy for the Fe$/\alpha$ element abundance ratio, shows no redshift evolution as well, further supporting rapid nuclear star formation at $z\sim6$. We also find that the black hole mass-BLR metallicity relation at $z\sim6$ is consistent with the relation measured at $2<z<5$, suggesting that our results are not biased by a selection effect due to this relation.

Here we present a novel probe of light ($\lesssim O(100)$ MeV) dark matter (DM) using pion decay-at-rest experiments. Dark sector particles produced during pion decay can be detected when they scatter in a distant detector. The decay of nuclei excited by the inelastic scattering of DM is an unexploited channel which has significantly lower background compared to similar searches using the elastic scattering channel. Using this channel, %with an additional timing cut to further reduce the background, we demonstrate an increased sensitivity to a dark photon portal DM model compared to the existing constraints. The sensitivity of the DM parameter space is not restricted by the detector threshold as in the elastic channel. With existing experiments world-leading constraints on this parameter space have been obtained, reaching the thermal relic benchmark for scalar DM. Future experiments will be able to reach the thermal relic benchmark for fermionic DM.

The explicit relations of the tomographic probability densities and the probability densities on the phase space for the particle motion on a torus are obtained and the relation of the suggested map to the Radon transform on the plane is elucidated. The generalization to the case of a multidimensional torus is elaborated and the geometrical meaning of the tomographic probability densities as marginal distributions on the helix discussed.

Mechanizing the manual harvesting of fresh market fruits constitutes one of the biggest challenges to the sustainability of the fruit industry. During manual harvesting of some fresh-market crops like strawberries and table grapes, pickers spend significant amounts of time walking to carry full trays to a collection station at the edge of the field. A step toward increasing harvest automation for such crops is to deploy harvest-aid collaborative robots (co-bots) that transport the empty and full trays, thus increasing harvest efficiency by reducing pickers' non-productive walking times. This work presents the development of a co-robotic harvest-aid system and its evaluation during commercial strawberry harvesting. At the heart of the system lies a predictive stochastic scheduling algorithm that minimizes the expected non-picking time, thus maximizing the harvest efficiency. During the evaluation experiments, the co-robots improved the mean harvesting efficiency by around 10% and reduced the mean non-productive time by 60%, when the robot-to-picker ratio was 1:3. The concepts developed in this work can be applied to robotic harvest-aids for other manually harvested crops that involve walking for crop transportation.

We are investigating who has the winning strategy in a game in which two players take turns drawing arrows trying to complete cycle cells in a graph. A cycle cell is a cycle with no chords. We examine game boards where the winning strategy was previously unknown. Starting with a $C_{5}$ sharing two consecutive edges with a $C_{7}$ we solve multiple classes of graphs involving "stacked" polygons. We then expand upon and improve previous theorems and conjectures, and offer some new directions of research related to the Game of Cycles. The original game was described by Francis Su in his book Mathematics for Human Flourishing. The first results on the game were published in The Game of Cycles arXiv:arch-ive/04.00776.

The non-Markovian nature of open quantum dynamics lies in the structure of the multitime correlations, which are accessible by means of interventions. Here, by examining multitime correlations, we show that it is possible to engineer non-Markovian systems with only long-term memory but seemingly no short-term memory, so that their non-Markovianity is completely non-detectable by any interventions up to an arbitrarily large time. Our results raise the question about the assessibility of non-Markovianity: in principle, non-Markovian effects that are perfectly elusive to interventions may emerge at much later times.

Recently, Lipowski [cond-mat/0002378] investigated a stochastic lattice model which exhibits a discontinuous transition from an active phase into infinitely many absorbing states. Since the transition is accompanied by an apparent power-law singularity, it was conjectured that the model may combine features of first- and second-order phase transitions. In the present work it is shown that this singularity emerges as an artifact of the definition of the model in terms of products. Instead of a power law, we find a logarithmic singularity at the transition. Moreover, we generalize the model in such a way that the second-order phase transition becomes accessible. As expected, this transition belongs to the universality class of directed percolation.

We investigate the transition to quantum chaos, induced by static imperfections, for an operating quantum computer that simulates efficiently a dynamical quantum system, the sawtooth map. For the different dynamical regimes of the map, we discuss the quantum chaos border induced by static imperfections by analyzing the statistical properties of the quantum computer eigenvalues. For small imperfection strengths the level spacing statistics is close to the case of quasi-integrable systems while above the border it is described by the random matrix theory. We have found that the border drops exponentially with the number of qubits, both in the ergodic and quasi-integrable dynamical regimes of the map characterized by a complex phase space structure. On the contrary, the regime with integrable map dynamics remains more stable against static imperfections since in this case the border drops only algebraically with the number of qubits.

Social Media (SM) has become a stage for people to share thoughts, emotions, opinions, and almost every other aspect of their daily lives. This abundance of human interaction makes SM particularly attractive for social sensing. Especially during polarizing events such as political elections or referendums, users post information and encourage others to support their side, using symbols such as hashtags to represent their attitudes. However, many users choose not to attach hashtags to their messages, use a different language, or show their position only indirectly. Thus, automatically identifying their opinions becomes a more challenging task. To uncover these implicit perspectives, we propose a collaborative filtering model based on Graph Convolutional Networks that exploits the textual content in messages and the rich connections between users and topics. Moreover, our approach only requires a small annotation effort compared to state-of-the-art solutions. Nevertheless, the proposed model achieves competitive performance in predicting individuals' stances. We analyze users' attitudes ahead of two constitutional referendums in Chile in 2020 and 2022. Using two large Twitter datasets, our model achieves improvements of 3.4% in recall and 3.6% in accuracy over the baselines.

This paper develops $P^K$-based non-central and central Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods with WENO limiter for the one- and two-dimensional special relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (RMHD) equations, $K=1,2,3$. The non-central DG methods are locally divergence-free, while the central DG are "exactly" divergence-free but have to find two approximate solutions defined on mutually dual meshes. The adaptive WENO limiter first identifies the "troubled" cells by using a modified TVB minmod function, and then uses the WENO technique to locally reconstruct a new polynomial of degree $(2K+1)$ inside the "troubled" cells replacing the DG solution by based on the cell average values of the DG solutions in the neighboring cells as well as the original cell averages of the "troubled" cells. The WENO limiting procedure does not destroy the locally or "exactly" divergence-free property of magnetic field and is only employed for finite "troubled" cells so that the computational cost can be as little as possible. Several test problems in one and two dimensions are solved by using our non-central and central Runge-Kutta DG methods with WENO limiter. The numerical results demonstrate that our methods are stable, accurate, and robust in resolving complex wave structures.

Matrices resulting from the discretization of a kernel function, e.g., in the context of integral equations or sampling probability distributions, can frequently be approximated by interpolation. In order to improve the efficiency, a multi-level approach can be employed that involves interpolating the kernel function and its approximations multiple times. This article presents a new approach to analyze the error incurred by these iterated interpolation procedures that is considerably more elegant than its predecessors and allows us to treat not only the kernel function itself, but also its derivatives.

Integrating model-based machine learning methods into deep neural architectures allows one to leverage both the expressive power of deep neural nets and the ability of model-based methods to incorporate domain-specific knowledge. In particular, many works have employed the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm in the form of an unrolled layer-wise structure that is jointly trained with a backbone neural network. However, it is difficult to discriminatively train the backbone network by backpropagating through the EM iterations as they are prone to the vanishing gradient problem. To address this issue, we propose Highway Expectation Maximization Networks (HEMNet), which is comprised of unrolled iterations of the generalized EM (GEM) algorithm based on the Newton-Rahpson method. HEMNet features scaled skip connections, or highways, along the depths of the unrolled architecture, resulting in improved gradient flow during backpropagation while incurring negligible additional computation and memory costs compared to standard unrolled EM. Furthermore, HEMNet preserves the underlying EM procedure, thereby fully retaining the convergence properties of the original EM algorithm. We achieve significant improvement in performance on several semantic segmentation benchmarks and empirically show that HEMNet effectively alleviates gradient decay.

In the literature on algorithms for performing the multi-term addition $s_n=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$ using floating-point arithmetic it is often shown that a hardware unit that has single normalization and rounding improves precision, area, latency, and power consumption, compared with the use of standard add or fused multiply-add units. However, non-monotonicity can appear when computing sums with a subclass of multi-term addition units, which currently is not explored in the literature. We demonstrate that common techniques for performing multi-term addition with $n\geq 4$, without normalization of intermediate quantities, can result in non-monotonicity -- increasing one of the addends $x_i$ decreases the sum $s_n$. Summation is required in dot product and matrix multiplication operations, operations that have increasingly started appearing in the hardware of supercomputers, thus knowing where monotonicity is preserved can be of interest to the users of these machines. Our results suggest that non-monotonicity of summation, in some of the commercial hardware devices that implement a specific class of multi-term adders, is a feature that may have appeared unintentionally as a consequence of design choices that reduce circuit area and other metrics. To demonstrate our findings, we use formal proofs as well as a numerical simulation of non-monotonic multi-term adders in MATLAB.

The rescaled marginal distributions are shown to converge to exponential distributions and indeed even large sub-matrices of side-length $o(n^{1/2-\epsilon})$ behave like independent exponentials. We determine the limiting empirical distribution of the singular values the the matrix. Finally the mixing time of the associated Markov chains is shown to be exactly 2 with high probability.

This survey reviews Kauffman's model of folded ribbon knots: knots made of a thin strip of paper folded flat in the plane. The ribbonlength is the length to width ratio of such a ribbon, and the ribbonlength problem asks to minimize the ribbonlength for a given knot type. We give a summary of known results. For the most part, these are upper bounds of ribbonlength of twist knots and certain families of torus knots. We discuss result of G. Tian, which give upper bounds of ribbonlength in terms of crossing number. In addition, it turns out the choice of fold affects the ribbonlength. We end with a discussion of three different types of folded ribbon equivalence and give examples illustrating their relationship to ribbonlength.

A continual model of non-singular screw dislocation lying along a straight infinitely long circular cylinder is investigated in the framework of translational gauge approach with the Hilbert--Einstein gauge Lagrangian. The stress--strain constitutive law implies the elastic energy of isotropic continuum which includes the terms of second and third orders in the strain components. The Einstein-type gauge equation with the elastic stress tensor as a driving source is investigated perturbatively, and second order contribution to the stress potential of the modified screw dislocation is obtained. A stress-free boundary condition is imposed at the cylinder's external surface. A cut-off of the classical approach which excludes from consideration a tubular vicinity of the defect's axis is avoided, and the total stress obtained for the screw dislocation is valid in the whole body. An expression for the radius of the dislocation's core in terms of the second and third order elastic constants is obtained.

We demonstrate that a magneto-convection simulation incorporating essential physical processes governing solar surface convection exhibits turbulent small-scale dynamo action. By presenting a derivation of the energy balance equation and transfer functions for compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), we quantify the source of magnetic energy on a scale-by-scale basis. We rule out the two alternative mechanisms for the generation of small-scale magnetic field in the simulations: the tangling of magnetic field lines associated with the turbulent cascade and Alfvenization of small-scale velocity fluctuations ("turbulent induction"). Instead, we find the dominant source of small-scale magnetic energy is stretching by inertial-range fluid motions of small-scale magnetic field lines against the magnetic tension force to produce (against Ohmic dissipation) more small-scale magnetic field. The scales involved become smaller with increasing Reynolds number, which identifies the dynamo as a small-scale turbulent dynamo.

The presence of phenomena analogous to phase transition in Statistical Mechanics, has been suggested in the evolution of a polygenic trait under stabilizing selection, mutation and genetic drift. By using numerical simulations of a model system, we analyze the evolution of a population of $N$ diploid hermaphrodites in random mating regime. The population evolves under the effect of drift, selective pressure in form of viability on an additive polygenic trait, and mutation. The analysis allows to determine a phase diagram in the plane of mutation rate and strength of selection. The involved pattern of phase transitions is characterized by a line of critical points for weak selective pressure (smaller than a threshold), whereas discontinuous phase transitions, characterized by metastable hysteresis, are observed for strong selective pressure. A finite size scaling analysis suggests the analogy between our system and the mean field Ising model for selective pressure approaching the threshold from weaker values. In this framework, the mutation rate, which allows the system to explore the accessible microscopic states, is the parameter controlling the transition from large heterozygosity (disordered phase) to small heterozygosity (ordered one).

We study the influence of the proximity-induced pairing on electronic version of the Dicke effect in a heterostructure, comprising three quantum dots vertically coupled between the metallic and superconducting leads. We discuss a feasible experimental procedure for detecting the narrow/broad (subradiant/superradiant) contributions by means of the subgap Andreev spectroscopy. In the Kondo regime and for small energy level detuning the Dicke effect is manifested in the differential conductance.

Among the many experimental techniques available, those providing directional information have the potential of yielding an unambiguous observation of WIMPs even in the presence of insidious backgrounds. A measurement of the distribution of arrival direction of WIMPs can also discriminate between Galactic Dark Matter halo models. In this article, I will discuss the motivation for directional detectors and review the experimental techniques used by the various experiments. I will then describe one of them, the DMTPC detector, in more detail.

The b-boundary construction by B. Schmidt is a general way of providing a boundary to a manifold with connection. It has been shown to have undesirable topological properties however. C. J. S. Clarke gave a result showing that for space-times, non-Hausdorffness is to be expected in general, but the argument contains some errors. We show that under somewhat different conditions on the curvature, the b-boundary will be non-Hausdorff, and illustrate the degeneracy by applying the conditions to some well known exact solutions of general relativity.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is an area of machine learning figuring out how agents take actions in an unknown environment to maximize its rewards. Unlike classical Markov Decision Process (MDP) in which agent has full knowledge of its state, rewards, and transitional probability, reinforcement learning utilizes exploration and exploitation for the model uncertainty. Under the condition that the model usually has a large state space, a neural network (NN) can be used to correlate its input state to its output actions to maximize the agent's rewards. However, building and training an efficient neural network is challenging. Inspired by Double Q-learning and Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) algorithm, we will propose and implement an improved version of Double A3C algorithm which utilizing the strength of both algorithms to play OpenAI Gym Atari 2600 games to beat its benchmarks for our project.

We propose worldsheet formulae for wavefunction coefficients of the massive non-linear sigma model (NLSM), scalar Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI), and special Galileon (sGal) theories in de Sitter momentum space in terms of the recently proposed cosmological scattering equations constructed from conformal generators in the future boundary. The four-point integrands are assembled from simple building blocks and we identify a double copy prescription mapping the NLSM wavefunction coefficient to the DBI and sGal wavefunction coefficients, including mass deformations and curvature corrections. Finally, we compute the soft limits of these wavefunction coefficients and find that they can be written in terms of boundary conformal generators acting on contact diagrams.

We present results from the measurement of the inclusive jet cross section for jet transverse energies from 40 to 465 GeV in the pseudo-rapidity range $0.1<|\eta|<0.7$. The results are based on 87 $pb^{-1}$ of data collected by the CDF collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The data are consistent with previously published results. The data are also consistent with QCD predictions given the flexibility allowed from current knowledge of the proton parton distributions. We develop a new procedure for ranking the agreement of the parton distributions with data and find that the data are best described by QCD predictions using the parton distribution functions which have a large gluon contribution at high $E_T$ (CTEQ4HJ).

Exoplanet properties crucially depend on their host stars' parameters. In case the exoplanet host star shows pulsations, asteroseismology can be used for an improved description of the stellar parameters. We aim to revisit the pulsational properties of beta Pic and identify its pulsation modes from normalised amplitudes in five different passbands. We also investigate the potential presence of a magnetic field. We conduct a frequency analysis using three seasons of BRITE-Constellation observations in the BRITE blue and red filters, the ~620-day long bRing light curve and the nearly 8-year long SMEI photometric time series. We calculate normalised amplitudes using all passbands including previously published values obtained from ASTEP observations. We investigate the magnetic properties of beta Pic using spectropolarimetric observations conducted with the HARPSpol instrument. Using 2D rotating models, we fit the normalised amplitudes and frequencies through Monte Carlo Markov Chains. We identify 15 pulsation frequencies in the range from 34 to 55c/d, where two display clear amplitude variability. We use the normalised amplitudes in up to five passbands to identify the modes as three l = 1, six l = 2 and six l = 3 modes. beta Pic is shown to be non-magnetic with an upper limit of the possible undetected dipolar field of 300G. Multiple fits to the frequencies and normalised amplitudes are obtained including one with a near equator-on inclination for beta Pic, which corresponds to our expectations based on the orbital inclination of beta Pic b and the orientation of the circumstellar disk. This solution leads to a rotation rate of 27% of the Keplerian break-up velocity, a radius of 1.497+-0.025Rsun, and a mass of 1.797+-0.035Msun. The ~2% errors in radius and mass do not account for uncertainties in the models and a potentially erroneous mode-identification.

We compute the bispectrum for the \IRAS PSCz catalog and find that the galaxy distribution displays the characteristic signature of gravity. Assuming Gaussian initial conditions, we obtain galaxy biasing parameters $1/b_1=1.20^{+0.18}_{-0.19}$ and $b_2/b_1^2=-0.42\pm0.19$, with no sign of scale-dependent bias for $k\leq 0.3$ h/Mpc. These results impose stringent constraints on non-Gaussian initial conditions. For dimensional scaling models with $\chi^2_N$ statistics, we find N>49, which implies a constraint on primordial skewness $B_3<0.35$.

We present new SMA and PdBI observations of the intermediate-mass object IRAS 22198+6336 in the millimeter continuum and in several molecular line transitions. The millimeter continuum emission reveals a strong and compact source with a mass of around 5 Msun and with properties of Class 0 objects. CO emission shows an outflow with a quadrupolar morphology centered on the position of the dust condensation. The CO outflow emission seems to come from two distinct outflows, one of them associated with SiO outflow emission. A large set of molecular lines has been detected toward a compact dense core clearly coincident with the compact millimeter source, and showing a velocity gradient perpendicular to the outflow traced by CO and SiO. The chemically rich spectrum and the rotational temperatures derived from CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$OH (100-150 K) indicate that IRAS 22198+6336 is harbouring one the few intermediate-mass hot cores known at present.

In this work, we present, analyze, and implement a class of Multi-Level Markov chain Monte Carlo (ML-MCMC) algorithms based on independent Metropolis-Hastings proposals for Bayesian inverse problems. In this context, the likelihood function involves solving a complex differential model, which is then approximated on a sequence of increasingly accurate discretizations. The key point of this algorithm is to construct highly coupled Markov chains together with the standard Multi-level Monte Carlo argument to obtain a better cost-tolerance complexity than a single-level MCMC algorithm. Our method extends the ideas of Dodwell, et al. "A hierarchical multilevel Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm with applications to uncertainty quantification in subsurface flow," \textit{SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification 3.1 (2015): 1075-1108,} to a wider range of proposal distributions. We present a thorough convergence analysis of the ML-MCMC method proposed, and show, in particular, that (i) under some mild conditions on the (independent) proposals and the family of posteriors, there exists a unique invariant probability measure for the coupled chains generated by our method, and (ii) that such coupled chains are uniformly ergodic. We also generalize the cost-tolerance theorem of Dodwell et al., to our wider class of ML-MCMC algorithms. Finally, we propose a self-tuning continuation-type ML-MCMC algorithm (C-ML-MCMC). The presented method is tested on an array of academic examples, where some of our theoretical results are numerically verified. These numerical experiments evidence how our extended ML-MCMC method is robust when targeting some \emph{pathological} posteriors, for which some of the previously proposed ML-MCMC algorithms fail.

It was recently proven [Hilhorst, JSTAT, P10023 (2010)] that the q-generalization of the Fourier transform is not invertible in the full space of probability density functions for q > 1. It has also been recently shown that this complication disappears if we dispose of the q-Fourier transform not only of the function itself, but also of all of its shifts [Jauregui and Tsallis, Phys. Lett. A 375, 2085 (2011)]. Here we show that another road exists for completely removing the degeneracy associated with the inversion of the q-Fourier transform of a given probability density function. Indeed, it is possible to determine this density if we dispose of some extra information related to its q-moments.

Asymptotically optimal priority policies for indexable and nonindexable restless bandits

We study the asymptotic optimal control of multi-class restless bandits. A restless bandit is a controllable stochastic process whose state evolution depends on whether or not the bandit is made active. Since finding the optimal control is typically intractable, we propose a class of priority policies that are proved to be asymptotically optimal under a global attractor property and a technical condition. We consider both a fixed population of bandits as well as a dynamic population where bandits can depart and arrive. As an example of a dynamic population of bandits, we analyze a multi-class $\mathit{M/M/S+M}$ queue for which we show asymptotic optimality of an index policy. We combine fluid-scaling techniques with linear programming results to prove that when bandits are indexable, Whittle's index policy is included in our class of priority policies. We thereby generalize a result of Weber and Weiss [J. Appl. Probab. 27 (1990) 637-648] about asymptotic optimality of Whittle's index policy to settings with (i) several classes of bandits, (ii) arrivals of new bandits and (iii) multiple actions. Indexability of the bandits is not required for our results to hold. For nonindexable bandits, we describe how to select priority policies from the class of asymptotically optimal policies and present numerical evidence that, outside the asymptotic regime, the performance of our proposed priority policies is nearly optimal.

The population of the 9.50 MeV 9/2+ resonance in 13C by single neutron transfer reactions is expected to be dominated by the two-step route through the 12C 2+ (4.44 MeV) state, with another possible contribution via the strongly excited 3- (9.64 MeV) resonance in 12C. However, we find that a good description of the angular distribution for population of this state via the 12C(d,p)13C reaction is only possible when both direct 0+ x g_9/2 and two-step (via the 4.44 MeV 12C 2+ state) 2+ x d_5/2 paths are included in a coupled reaction channel calculation. While the calculated angular distribution is almost insensitive to the presence of the two-step path via the 9.64 MeV 12C 3- resonance, despite a much greater contribution to the wave function from the 3- x f_7/2 configuration, its inclusion is required to fit the details of the experimental angular distribution. The very large interference between the various components of the calculations, even when these are small, arises through the ``kinematic'' effect associated with the different transfer routes.

Symmetry groups or groupoids of C*-algebras associated to non-Hausdorff spaces are often non-Hausdorff as well. We describe such symmetries using crossed modules of groupoids. We define actions of crossed modules on C*-algebras and crossed products for such actions, and justify these definitions with some basic general results and examples.

We present a synchrotron-based X-ray scattering technique which allows disentangling magnetic properties of heterogeneous systems with nanopatterned surfaces. This technique combines the nmrange spatial resolution of surface morphology features provided by Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering and the high sensitivity of Nuclear Resonant Scattering to magnetic order. A single experiment thus allows attributing magnetic properties to structural features of the sample; chemical and structural properties may be correlated analogously. We demonstrate how this technique shows the correlation between structural growth and evolution of magnetic properties for the case of a remarkable magnetization reversal in a structurally and magnetically nanopatterned sample system.

To identify an analytical relation between the properties of polymers and their's monomer a Metal-Molecule-Metal (MMM) junction has been presented as an interesting and widely used object of research in which the molecule is a polymer which is able to conduct charge. The method used in this study is based on the Green's function approach in the tight-binding approximation using basic properties of matrices. For a polymer base MMM system, transmission, density of states (DOS) and local density of states (LDOS) have been calculated as a function of the hamiltonian of the monomer. After that, we have obtained a frequency for LDOS variations in pass from a subunit to the next one which is a function of energy.

We present a computer-aided programming approach to concurrency. The approach allows programmers to program assuming a friendly, non-preemptive scheduler, and our synthesis procedure inserts synchronization to ensure that the final program works even with a preemptive scheduler. The correctness specification is implicit, inferred from the non-preemptive behavior. Let us consider sequences of calls that the program makes to an external interface. The specification requires that any such sequence produced under a preemptive scheduler should be included in the set of such sequences produced under a non-preemptive scheduler. The solution is based on a finitary abstraction, an algorithm for bounded language inclusion modulo an independence relation, and rules for inserting synchronization. We apply the approach to device-driver programming, where the driver threads call the software interface of the device and the API provided by the operating system. Our experiments demonstrate that our synthesis method is precise and efficient, and, since it does not require explicit specifications, is more practical than the conventional approach based on user-provided assertions.

Much work has been done by a number of authors with the aim of constructing the supersymmetric Standard Model in type IIA intersecting-brane theories compactified on an orientifold with various Z_N or Z_M x Z_N point groups. Here we consider the Z_{12} point group which has previously received comparatively little attention. We consider intersecting D6-branes that wrap 3-cycles consisting of a 2-cycle of the 4-dimensional lattice upon which the Z_{12} is realised times a 1-cycle of the remaining 2-torus. Our discussion is restricted to the case when these 2-cycles are "factorisable" in the sense discussed in section 3. Although it is possible to find models with the correct supersymmetric Standard Model quark-doublet content, we have not found it possible to obtain the correct quark-singlet content.

Recent investigations of electroweak radiative corrections have revealed the importance of higher order contributions in high energy processes, where the size of typical corrections can exceed those associated with QCD considerably. Beyond one loop, only universal (angular independent) corrections are known to all orders except for massless $e^+ e^- \longrightarrow f {\overline f}$ processes where also angular dependent corrections exist in the literature. In this paper we present general arguments for the consistent resummation of angular dependent subleading (SL) logarithmic corrections to all orders in the regime where all invariants are still large compared to the gauge boson masses. We discuss soft isospin correlations, fermion mass and gauge boson mass gap effects, the longitudinal and Higgs boson sector as well as mixing contributions including CKM effects for massive quarks. Two loop arguments are interpreted in the context of the effective high energy effective theory based on the Standard Model Lagrangian in the symmetric basis with the appropriate matching conditions to include the soft QED regime. The result is expressed in exponentiated operator form in a CKM-extended isospin space in the symmetric basis. Thus, a full electroweak SL treatment based on the infrared evolution equation method is formulated for arbitrary high energy processes at future colliders. Comparisons with known results are presented.
