description: Autoencoders, which consist of an encoder and a decoder, are widely used in machine learning for dimension reduction of high-dimensional data. The encoder embeds the input data manifold into a lower-dimensional latent space, while the decoder represents the inverse map, providing a parametrization of the data manifold by the manifold in latent space. A good regularity and structure of the embedded manifold may substantially simplify further data processing tasks such as cluster analysis or data interpolation. We propose and analyze a novel regularization for learning the encoder component of an autoencoder: a loss functional that prefers isometric, extrinsically flat embeddings and allows to train the encoder on its own. To perform the training it is assumed that for pairs of nearby points on the input manifold their local Riemannian distance and their local Riemannian average can be evaluated. The loss functional is computed via Monte Carlo integration with different sampling strategies for pairs of points on the input manifold. Our main theorem identifies a geometric loss functional of the embedding map as the $Γ$-limit of the sampling-dependent loss functionals. Numerical tests, using image data that encodes different explicitly given data manifolds, show that smooth manifold embeddings into latent space are obtained. Due to the promotion of extrinsic flatness, these embeddings are regular enough such that interpolation between not too distant points on the manifold is well approximated by linear interpolation in latent space as one possible postprocessing.

description: The municipal solid waste system is a complex reverse logistic chain which comprises several optimisation problems. Although these problems are interdependent, i.e., the solution to one of the problems restricts the solution to the other, they are usually solved sequentially in the related literature because each is usually a computationally complex problem. We address two of the tactical planning problems in this chain by means of a Benders decomposition approach: determining the location and/or capacity of garbage accumulation points, and the design and schedule of collection routes for vehicles. Our approach manages to solve medium-sized real-world instances in the city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina, showing smaller computing times than solving a full MIP model.

description: Municipal solid waste management is a paramount activity in modern cities due to the environmental, social and economic problems that can arise when mishandled. In this work, the sequencing of micro-routes in the Argentine city of Bahía Blanca is addressed, which is modeled as a vehicle routing problem with travel time limit and the vehicle's capacity. Particularly, we propose two mathematical formulations based on mixed-integer programming and we solve a set of instances of the city of Bahía Blanca based on real data. Moreover, with this model we estimate the total distance and travel time of the waste collection and use this data to analyze the possibility of installing a transfer station. The results demonstrate the competitiveness of the approach to resolve realistic instances of the target problem and suggest the convenience of installing a transfer station in the city considering the reduction of the traveled distance.

An environmental disturbance observer framework for autonomous surface vessels

description: This paper proposes a robust disturbance observer framework for maritime autonomous surface vessels considering model and measurement uncertainties. The core contribution lies in a nonlinear disturbance observer, reconstructing the forces on a vessel impacted by the environment. For this purpose, mappings are found leading to synchronized global exponentially stable error dynamics. With the stability theory of Lyapunov, it is proven that the error converges exponentially into a ball, even if the disturbances are highly dynamic. Since measurements are affected by noise and physical models can be erroneous, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is used to generate more reliable state estimations. In addition, a noise estimator is introduced, which approximates the noise strength. Depending on the severity of the measurement noise, the observed disturbances are filtered through a cascaded structure consisting of a weighted moving average (WMA) filter, a UKF, and the proposed disturbance observer. To investigate the capability of this observer framework, the environmental disturbances are simulated dynamically under consideration of different model and measurement uncertainties. It can be seen that the observer framework can approximate dynamical forces on a vessel impacted by the environment despite using a low measurement sampling rate, an erroneous model, and noisy measurements.

description: Coupled cluster theory produced arguably the most widely used high-accuracy computational quantum chemistry methods. Despite the approach's overall great computational success, its mathematical understanding is so far limited to results within the realm of functional analysis. The coupled cluster amplitudes, which are the targeted objects in coupled cluster theory, correspond to solutions to the coupled cluster equations, which is a system of polynomial equations of at most degree four. The high dimensionality of the electronic Schrödinger equation and the non-linearity of the coupled cluster ansatz have so far stalled a formal analysis of this polynomial system. In this article, we present algebraic investigations that shed light on the coupled cluster equations and the root structure of this ansatz. This is of importance for the a posteriori evaluation of coupled cluster calculations. To that end, we investigate the root structure by means of Newton polytopes. We derive a general v-description, which is subsequently turned into an h-description for explicit examples. This perspective reveals an apparent connection between Pauli's exclusion principle and the geometrical structure of the Newton polytopes. We also propose an alternative characterization of the coupled cluster equations projected onto singles and doubles as cubic polynomials on an algebraic variety with certain sparsity patterns. Moreover, we provide numerical simulations of two computationally tractable systems, namely, the two electrons in four spin-orbitals system and the three electrons in six spin-orbitals system. These simulations provide novel insight into the root structure of the coupled cluster solutions when the coupled cluster ansatz is truncated.

description: High-frequency ventilation is a strategy primarily used to provide oxygen to neonatal patients in intensive care. Here, a simple model of the reciprocating flow in a straight pipe with a free end exiting into a large reservoir is examined to investigate some of the fluid mechanics present during high-frequency ventilation. The resulting recirculating mean flow is quantified in terms of the amount of mean recirculating flux and the distance from the free end to which this recirculation penetrates.

description: Quantum information processing architectures typically only allow for nearest-neighbour entanglement creation. In many cases, this prevents the direct generation of GHZ states, which are commonly used for many communication and computation tasks. Here, we show how to obtain GHZ states between nodes in a network that are connected in a straight line, naturally allowing them to initially share linear cluster states. We prove a strict upper bound of $\lfloor (n+3)/2 \rfloor$ on the size of the set of nodes sharing a GHZ state that can be obtained from a linear cluster state of $n$ qubits, using local Clifford unitaries, local Pauli measurements, and classical communication. Furthermore, we completely characterize all selections of nodes below this threshold that can share a GHZ state obtained within this setting. Finally, we demonstrate these transformations on the IBMQ Montreal quantum device for linear cluster states of up to $n=19$ qubits.

description: Undirected $st$-connectivity is important both for its applications in network problems, and for its theoretical connections with logspace complexity. Classically, a long line of work led to a time-space tradeoff of $T=\tilde{O}(n^2/S)$ for any $S$ such that $S=Ω(\log (n))$ and $S=O(n^2/m)$. Surprisingly, we show that quantumly there is no nontrivial time-space tradeoff: there is a quantum algorithm that achieves both optimal time $\tilde{O}(n)$ and space $O(\log (n))$ simultaneously. This improves on previous results, which required either $O(\log (n))$ space and $\tilde{O}(n^{1.5})$ time, or $\tilde{O}(n)$ space and time. To complement this, we show that there is a nontrivial time-space tradeoff when given a lower bound on the spectral gap of a corresponding random walk.

description: The widespread of offensive content online, such as hate speech and cyber-bullying, is a global phenomenon. This has sparked interest in the artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) communities, motivating the development of various systems trained to detect potentially harmful content automatically. These systems require annotated datasets to train the machine learning (ML) models. However, with a few notable exceptions, most datasets on this topic have dealt with English and a few other high-resource languages. As a result, the research in offensive language identification has been limited to these languages. This paper addresses this gap by tackling offensive language identification in Sinhala, a low-resource Indo-Aryan language spoken by over 17 million people in Sri Lanka. We introduce the Sinhala Offensive Language Dataset (SOLD) and present multiple experiments on this dataset. SOLD is a manually annotated dataset containing 10,000 posts from Twitter annotated as offensive and not offensive at both sentence-level and token-level, improving the explainability of the ML models. SOLD is the first large publicly available offensive language dataset compiled for Sinhala. We also introduce SemiSOLD, a larger dataset containing more than 145,000 Sinhala tweets, annotated following a semi-supervised approach.

description: In time-reversal symmetry-broken Weyl semimetals, Weyl points act as monopoles and antimonopoles of the Berry curvature, with a monopole-antimonopole pair producing a net zero Berry flux. The two-dimensional (2D) planes that separate a monopole-antimonopole pair of Weyl points carry quantized Berry flux. In this work, we introduce a class of symmetry-protected Weyl semimetals which host monopole-antimonopole pairs of Weyl points that generate a quantized dipolar Berry flux. Consequently, topologically distinct 2D planes coexist in the Brillouin zone, carrying either quantized monopolar or dipolar flux. We construct a topological invariant -- the staggered Chern number -- to measure the quantized dipolar flux and employ it to topologically distinguish between various Weyl points. Finally, through a minimal two-band model, we investigate physical signatures of bulk topology, including surface Fermi arcs, zero-energy hinge states, and response to insertion of a $π$-flux vortex.

description: Brachychiton acerifolius, or Sterculia acerifolia as formerly known, is a member of a genus reported for a myriad of bioactive compounds. Metabolome analysis of B. acerifolius – leaves, flowers and seeds – and quantification of its major compounds are demonstrated in this study. Metabolites were analysed via UPLC-PDA-qTOF-( ± ) ESI-MS and UPLC/ITMS, with a total of 56 metabolites characterised including 30 flavonoids, 2 anthocyanins, 6 phenolic acids (i.e. citric and hydroxycitric acid conjugates) and 8 fatty acids (FAs). Multivariate data analyses (i.e. principle component analysis and orthogonal partial least square-discriminate analysis) were applied to identify metabolite markers for each organ. Pelargonidin-O-glucoside and naringenin-O-glucuronide were found exclusively in flowers versus flavone enrichment in leaves (i.e. luteolin-O-glucuronide and apigenin-O-rhamnosyl glucuronide). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of toxic cyclopropene FAs in seeds which may restrict its use. Antioxidant activity assessment for the three organs was performed in comparison with vitamin C as positive control. Leaves showed the highest activity (IC50 0.015 mg/mL).

description: Anthropogenic CO2 is decreasing oceanic pH and contributing to seawater warming. We tested the effects of low pH and high temperature at levels predicted for 2100 on an ecologically important predator–prey system (sea stars, Asterias rubens, and mussels, Mytilus edulis) from the NW Atlantic coast. Mussels are dominant competitors for space and important ecosystem engineers, while sea stars control mussel populations and thus local community structure. We found sea stars to be negatively affected in growth rate by low pH, with growth further reduced by a high temperature. In contrast, mussel growth rate was positively affected by low pH, with no response to temperature within the tested range. Predation of sea stars on mussels, measured as per-capita consumption rate, decreased in acidified conditions by 50%. Our study suggests that mussels may not be negatively affected by pH at the levels predicted for the end of this century and that mussels may be subjected to a reduced predation from sea stars under future conditions.

description: Neural Language Models of Code, or Neural Code Models (NCMs), are rapidly progressing from research prototypes to commercial developer tools. As such, understanding the capabilities and limitations of such models is becoming critical. However, the abilities of these models are typically measured using automated metrics that often only reveal a portion of their real-world performance. While, in general, the performance of NCMs appears promising, currently much is unknown about how such models arrive at decisions. To this end, this paper introduces $do_{code}$, a post hoc interpretability method specific to NCMs that is capable of explaining model predictions. $do_{code}$ is based upon causal inference to enable programming language-oriented explanations. While the theoretical underpinnings of $do_{code}$ are extensible to exploring different model properties, we provide a concrete instantiation that aims to mitigate the impact of spurious correlations by grounding explanations of model behavior in properties of programming languages. To demonstrate the practical benefit of $do_{code}$, we illustrate the insights that our framework can provide by performing a case study on two popular deep learning architectures and ten NCMs. The results of this case study illustrate that our studied NCMs are sensitive to changes in code syntax. All our NCMs, except for the BERT-like model, statistically learn to predict tokens related to blocks of code (\eg brackets, parenthesis, semicolon) with less confounding bias as compared to other programming language constructs. These insights demonstrate the potential of $do_{code}$ as a useful method to detect and facilitate the elimination of confounding bias in NCMs.

description: In the context of the shuffle theorem, many classical integer sequences appear with a natural refinement by two statistics $q$ and $t$: for example the Catalan and Schröder numbers. In particular, the bigraded Hilbert series of diagonal harmonics is a $q,t$-analog of $(n+1)^{n-1}$ (and can be written in terms of symmetric functions via the nabla operator). The motivation for this work is the observation that at $q=-1$, this $q,t$-analog becomes a $t$-analog of Euler numbers, a famous integer sequence that counts alternating permutations. We prove this observation via a more general statement, that involves the Delta operator on symmetric functions (on one side), and new combinatorial statistics on permutations involving peaks and valleys (on the other side). An important tool are the schedule numbers of a parking function first introduced by Hicks; and expanded upon by Haglund and Sergel. Other empirical observation suggest that nonnegativity at $q=-1$ holds in far greater generality.

description: The paper describes a system and experimental procedure that use integrating passive detectors, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), for the measurement of ultra-low-level ambient dose equivalent rate values at the underground SNOLAB facility located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Because these detectors are passive and can be exposed for relatively long periods of time, they can provide better sensitivity for measuring ultra-low activity levels. The final characterization of ultra-low-level ambient dose around water shielding for ongoing direct dark matter search experiments in Cube Hall at SNOLAB underground laboratory is given. The conclusion is that TLDs provide reliable results in the measurement of the ultra-low-level environmental radiation background.

description: We give a probabilistic interpretation of the configurational partition function of the logarithmic sector of critical cosmological topologically massive gravity, in which the Hurwitz numbers considered in our previous works assume the role of probabilities in a distribution on cycles of permutations. In particular, it is shown that the permutations are distributed according to the Ewens sampling formula which plays a major role in the theory of partition structures and their applications to diffusive processes of fragmentation, and in random trees. This new probabilistic result together with the previously established evidence of solitons in the theory provide new insights on the instability originally observed in the theory. We argue that the unstable propagation of a seed soliton at single particle level induces the generation of fragments of defect soliton clusters with rooted tree configuration at multiparticle level, providing a disordered landscape. The Shannon information entropy of the probability distribution is then introduced as a measure of the evolution of the unstable soliton clusters generated. Finally, based on Feynman's path integral formalism on permutation symmetry in the $λ$-transition of liquid helium, we argue that the existence of permutation cycles in the configurational log partition function indicates the presence of Bose-Einstein condensates in log gravity.

description: Research Note RAPD markers were used to analyze the genetic structure in an Eutypa lata population from a single vineyard located in Charente, France. The high level of genotypic diversity and the lack of genetic disequilibrium between RAPD loci strongly suggest that the population originated from random mating. Its genetic structure was similar to that previously observed within a population from a vineyard located in Herault, France. No genetic differentiation was found between the two populations separated by 390 km. Ascospore-mediated gene flow would unify E. lata populations into a panmictic population at least at the geographic scale studied.

description: The simulation of chemistry is among the most promising applications of quantum computing. However, most prior work exploring algorithms for block-encoding, time-evolving, and sampling in the eigenbasis of electronic structure Hamiltonians has either focused on modeling finite-sized systems, or has required a large number of plane wave basis functions. In this work, we extend methods for quantum simulation with Bloch orbitals constructed from symmetry-adapted atom-centered orbitals so that one can model periodic \textit{ab initio} Hamiltonians using only a modest number of basis functions. We focus on adapting existing algorithms based on combining qubitization with tensor factorizations of the Coulomb operator. Significant modifications of those algorithms are required to obtain an asymptotic speedup leveraging translational (or, more broadly, Abelian) symmetries. We implement block encodings using known tensor factorizations and a new Bloch orbital form of tensor hypercontraction. Finally, we estimate the resources required to deploy our algorithms to classically challenging model materials relevant to the chemistry of Lithium Nickel Oxide battery cathodes within the surface code.

description: Entropy production is the hallmark of nonequilibrium physics, quantifying irreversibility, dissipation, and the efficiency of energy transduction processes. Despite many efforts, its measurement at the nanoscale remains challenging. We introduce a variance sum rule for displacement and force variances that permits us to measure the entropy production rate $σ$ in nonequilibrium steady states. We first illustrate it for directly measurable forces, such as an active Brownian particle in an optical trap. We then apply the variance sum rule to flickering experiments in human red blood cells. We find that $σ$ is spatially heterogeneous with a finite correlation length and its average value agrees with calorimetry measurements. The VSR paves the way to derive $σ$ using force spectroscopy and time-resolved imaging in living and active matter.

description: In the ongoing astronomical revolution brought by the Gaia mission, our view of the Galaxy and its history is changing at rates never seen before. We are starting to realise the convoluted intricacies of the solar neighbourhood in the young stellar component, while witnessing previously well established stellar structures being called into question. Here we present the most comprehensive 3D map of the ~ 5 kpc solar neighbourhood, using an updated version of the ALS catalogue [ALS III] of young massive stars, now including some ~23 000 objects, integrating new data from the Galactic O-star Catalogue (GOSC), the Galactic Wolf Rayet Catalogue and all known Galactic HMXBs. Since Gaia DR3 we have been working on improving the astrometric and photometric calibrations of the data, while developing a Bayesian framework for reliable distance estimation. These improved standards have allowed our team to trace the spiral arm structure in our vicinity, uncovering the Cepheus spur (with evidence for a possible corrugation pattern in the Galactic disk), extending the Sagittarius spur, and fueling the debate about the existence of the Gould Belt and the Radcliffe wave. We are also integrating information about group membership from the Villafranca Catalogue of O-type stellar groups. Correlating the massive OB star distribution with the 3D dust distribution (which has recently improved significantly) brings valuable information about feedback and the overall evolution of our stellar vicinity (with hints about the spiral arm formation mechanisms operating in the Milky Way). Using the ALS III catalogue, we are also venturing into the realm of Galactic rotation curves, from the point of view of OB stars, and the search for non-axisymmetric residuals in the velocity field of the disk, which might relate to the arms. As a side effect of this kinematical analysis we are building a catalogue of new massive runaway stars.

description: Bosques que beneficien a la gente y sustenten la naturaleza: Políticas forestales esenciales para América Latina fue preparada en conjunto por el proyecto Los Bosques del Mundo, la Sociedad y el Medio Ambiente (WFSE) – proyecto espe- cial de la Unión Internacional de Organizaciones de Investigación Forestal (IUFRO) – y el Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE). Además, se contó con el apoyo del Instituto de Investigaciones Forestales de Finlandia (METLA) y el generoso aporte financiero brindado por el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Finlandia. Esta publicación tiene como propósito proporcio- nar una visión consensuada de recomendaciones de políticas esenciales requeridas para que los recursos forestales de América Latina se utilicen y conserven sustentablemente, tanto para el beneficio de la gente como para la protección de la naturaleza. Las breves recomendaciones de políticas presen- tadas en esta publicación se basan en numerosas evidencias científicas recopiladas por los autores y se adoptaron como el resultado de un largo debate creativo efectuado por 18 investigadores de esta región a fines de marzo de 2007 en Turrialba, Costa Rica. La sinopsis fue posteriormente escrita por siete autores – quienes tomaron parte en dicho encuentro – y revisada por numerosos especialistas en temas forestales, a quienes los autores expresan su sincero agradecimiento. Conjuntamente con los siete autores, los coauto- res también hicieron un valioso aporte a esta obra, participando activamente en el debate de 2007 y actuando como revisores del documento final.

description: In this paper we introduce a new invariant for a non-degenerate evolution algebra, which consists of an ordered sequence of evolution algebras of lower dimension, belonging all of them to a specific family. We use this invariant to propose a method to classify non-degenerate evolution algebras, and we apply it up to dimension 3. We also use it to describe the derivations of some families of evolution algebras and the variety of evolution algebras with square not greater than 1.
