description: Our neighbouring large spiral galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy (M 31 or NGC 224), is an ideal target to study the X-ray source population of a nearby galaxy. NuSTAR observed the central region of M 31 in 2015 and allows studying the population of X-ray point sources at energies higher than 10 keV. Based on the source catalogue of the large XMM-Newton survey of M 31, we identified counterparts to the XMM-Newton sources in the NuSTAR data. The NuSTAR data only contain sources of a brightness comparable (or even brighter) than the selected sources that have been detected in XMM-Newton data. We investigate hardness ratios, spectra and long-term light curves of individual sources obtained from NuSTAR data. Based on our spectral studies we suggest four sources as possible X-ray binary candidates. The long-term light curves of seven sources that have been observed more than once show low (but significant) variability.

description: With the rapid increase in demand for mobile data, mobile network operators are trying to expand wireless network capacity by deploying wireless local area network (LAN) hotspots on which they can offload their mobile traffic. However, these network-centric methods usually do not fulfill the interests of mobile users (MUs). Taking into consideration many issues, MUs should be able to decide whether to offload their traffic to a complementary wireless LAN. Our previous work studied single-flow wireless LAN offloading from a MU's perspective by considering delay-tolerance of traffic, monetary cost and energy consumption. In this paper, we study the multi-flow mobile data offloading problem from a MU's perspective in which a MU has multiple applications to download data simultaneously from remote servers, and different applications' data have different deadlines. We formulate the wireless LAN offloading problem as a finite-horizon discrete-time Markov decision process (MDP) and establish an optimal policy by a dynamic programming based algorithm. Since the time complexity of the dynamic programming based offloading algorithm is still high, we propose a low time complexity heuristic offloading algorithm with performance sacrifice. Extensive simulations are conducted to validate our proposed offloading algorithms.

description: Intergalactic space is filled with a pervasive medium of ionized gas, the Intergalactic Medium (IGM). A residual neutral fraction is detected in the spectra of Quasi-Stellar Objects at both low and high redshifts, revealing a highly fluctuating medium with temperatures characteristic of photoionized gas. The statistics of the fluctuations are well-reproduced by numerical gravity-hydrodynamics simulations within the context of standard cosmological structure formation scenarios. As such, the study of the IGM offers an opportunity to probe the nature of the primordial density fluctuations on scales unavailable to other methods. The simulations also suggest the IGM is the dominant reservoir of baryons produced by the Big Bang, and so the principal source of the matter from which galaxies formed. The detection of metal systems within the IGM shows that it was enriched by evolved stars early in its history, demonstrating an intimate connection between galaxy formation and the IGM. The author presents a comprehensive review of the current understanding of the structure and physical properties of the IGM and its relation to galaxies, concluding with comments on prospects for furthering the study of the IGM using future ground-based facilities and space-based experiments.

description: Non-attractor inflation is known as the only single field inflationary scenario that can violate non-Gaussianity consistency relation with the Bunch-Davies vacuum state and generate large local non-Gaussianity. However, it is also known that the non-attractor inflation by itself is incomplete and should be followed by a phase of slow-roll attractor. Moreover, there is a transition process between these two phases. In the past literature, this transition was approximated as instant and the evolution of non-Gaussianity in this phase was not fully studied. In this paper, we follow the detailed evolution of the non-Gaussianity through the transition phase into the slow-roll attractor phase, considering different types of transition. We find that the transition process has important effect on the size of the local non-Gaussianity. We first compute the net contribution of the non-Gaussianities at the end of inflation in canonical non-attractor models. If the curvature perturbations keep evolving during the transition - such as in the case of smooth transition or some sharp transition scenarios - the $\mathcal{O}(1)$ local non-Gaussianity generated in the non-attractor phase can be completely erased by the subsequent evolution, although the consistency relation remains violated. In extremal cases of sharp transition where the super-horizon modes freeze immediately right after the end of the non-attractor phase, the original non-attractor result can be recovered. We also study models with non-canonical kinetic terms, and find that the transition can typically contribute a suppression factor in the squeezed bispectrum, but the final local non-Gaussianity can still be made parametrically large.

description: The optical observations of Ic-4 supernova (SN) 2016coi/ASASSN-16fp, from $\sim 2$ to $\sim450$ days after explosion, are presented along with analysis of its physical properties. The SN shows the broad lines associated with SNe Ic-3/4 but with a key difference. The early spectra display a strong absorption feature at $\sim 5400$ Å which is not seen in other SNe~Ic-3/4 at this epoch. This feature has been attributed to He I in the literature. Spectral modelling of the SN in the early photospheric phase suggests the presence of residual He in a C/O dominated shell. However, the behaviour of the He I lines are unusual when compared with He-rich SNe, showing relatively low velocities and weakening rather than strengthening over time. The SN is found to rise to peak $\sim 16$ d after core-collapse reaching a bolometric luminosity of Lp $\sim 3\times10^{42}$ \ergs. Spectral models, including the nebular epoch, show that the SN ejected $2.5-4$ \msun\ of material, with $\sim 1.5$ \msun\ below 5000 \kms, and with a kinetic energy of $(4.5-7)\times10^{51}$ erg. The explosion synthesised $\sim 0.14$ \msun\ of 56Ni. There are significant uncertainties in E(B-V)host and the distance however, which will affect Lp and MNi. SN 2016coi exploded in a host similar to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and away from star-forming regions. The properties of the SN and the host-galaxy suggest that the progenitor had $M_\mathrm{ZAMS}$ of $23-28$ \msun\ and was stripped almost entirely down to its C/O core at explosion.

description: LLMs show promise in transforming software development, with a growing interest in integrating them into more intelligent apps. Frameworks like LangChain aid LLM-integrated app development, offering code execution utility/APIs for custom actions. However, these capabilities theoretically introduce Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities, enabling remote code execution through prompt injections. No prior research systematically investigates these frameworks' RCE vulnerabilities or their impact on applications and exploitation consequences. Therefore, there is a huge research gap in this field. In this study, we propose LLMSmith to detect, validate and exploit the RCE vulnerabilities in LLM-integrated frameworks and apps. To achieve this goal, we develop two novel techniques, including 1) a lightweight static analysis to examine LLM integration mechanisms, and construct call chains to identify RCE vulnerabilities in frameworks; 2) a systematical prompt-based exploitation method to verify and exploit the found vulnerabilities in LLM-integrated apps. This technique involves various strategies to control LLM outputs, trigger RCE vulnerabilities and launch subsequent attacks. Our research has uncovered a total of 20 vulnerabilities in 11 LLM-integrated frameworks, comprising 19 RCE vulnerabilities and 1 arbitrary file read/write vulnerability. Of these, 17 have been confirmed by the framework developers, with 11 vulnerabilities being assigned CVE IDs. For the 51 apps potentially affected by RCE, we successfully executed attacks on 17 apps, 16 of which are vulnerable to RCE and 1 to SQL injection. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of these vulnerabilities and construct practical attacks to demonstrate the hazards in reality. Last, we propose several mitigation measures for both framework and app developers to counteract such attacks.

description: We explore the stability properties of multi-field solutions of assisted inflation type, where several fields collectively evolve to the same configuration. In the case of noninteracting fields, we show that the condition for such solutions to be stable is less restrictive than that required for tracking in quintessence models. Our results, which do not rely on the slow-roll approximation, further indicate that to linear order in homogeneous perturbations the fields are in fact unaware of each other's existence. We end by generalizing our results to some cases of interacting fields and to other background solutions and dynamics, including the high-energy braneworld.

description: In this paper, we study the possibility of detection of short term terrestrial lower ionospheric response to gamma ray bursts (GRBs) using a statistical analysis of perturbations of six very low or low frequency (VLF/LF) radio signals emitted by transmitters located worldwide and recorded by VLF/LF receiver located in Belgrade (Serbia). We consider a sample of 54 short lasting GRBs (shorter than 1 min) detected by the SWIFT satellite during the period 2009-2012. We find that a statistically significant perturbations can be present in the low ionosphere, and reactions on GRBs may be observed immediately after the beginning of the GRB event or with a time delay of 60 s - 90 s.
Movement behaviour determines competitive outcome and spread rates in strongly heterogeneous landscapes
Creators: name: Maciel, Gabriel Andreguetto
name: Lutscher, Frithjof
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: Abstract Classical models for biological invasions were single-species models in homogeneous landscapes, but most invasions happen in the presence of interacting species and in heterogeneous environments. The combination of spatial variation and species interaction could alter the spreading process significantly. For example, the ‘environmental heterogeneity hypothesis of invasions’ posits that heterogeneity offers more opportunities for invaders and reduces the negative impact on native species. Environmental heterogeneity offers an obvious coexistence mechanism on the regional scale if two or more competing species have different spatial niches, i.e., if the local competitive advantage changes in space. We consider a more subtle mechanism of space use through individual movement behavior when the local competitive advantage remains with the same species. Specifically, we model the densities of two species, diffusing and competing in an infinite landscape consisting of two types of patches. We include individual behavior in terms of movement rate and patch preference. We consider the scenario that one of the species is the stronger local competitor in both patch types. We then uncover a number of mechanisms – based solely on movement behavior – through which these two species can coexist regionally, how the inferior competitor can replace the superior competitor globally, or how a bistable situation can arise between the two. We calculate mutual invasion conditions as well as mutual spatial spread rates, and we show that spread rates may depend on movement parameters in unexpected ways.

description: The formation of methanol (CH3OH) on icy grain mantles during the star formation cycle is mainly associated with the CO freeze-out stage. Yet there are reasons to believe that CH3OH also can form at an earlier period of interstellar ice evolution in CO-poor and H2O-rich ices. This work focuses on CH3OH formation in a H2O-rich interstellar ice environment following the OH-mediated H-abstraction in the reaction, CH4 + OH. Experimental conditions are systematically varied to constrain the CH3OH formation yield at astronomically relevant temperatures. CH4, O2, and hydrogen atoms are co-deposited in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber at 10-20 K. OH radicals are generated by the H + O2 surface reaction. Temperature programmed desorption - quadrupole mass spectrometry (TPD-QMS) is used to characterize CH3OH formation, and is complemented with reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) for CH3OH characterization and quantitation. CH3OH formation is shown to be possible by the sequential surface reaction chain, CH4 + OH -> CH3 + H2O and CH3 + OH -> CH3OH at 10-20 K. This reaction is enhanced by tunneling, as noted in a recent theoretical investigation (Lamberts et al. 2017). The CH3OH formation yield via the CH4 + OH route versus the CO + H route is approximately 20 times smaller for the laboratory settings studied. The astronomical relevance of the new formation channel investigated here is discussed.

Genus theory of p-adic pseudo-measures -- Tame kernels and abelian p-ramification
Creators: name: Gras, Georges
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider, for real abelian fields K, the Birch--Tate formula linking the tame kernel \#K\_2(Z\_K) to $ζ$\_K(-1); we compare, for quadratic and cyclic cubic fields with p=2,3, \#K\_2(\BZ\_K)[p^$\infty$] to the order of the torsion group T\_{K, p} of abelian p-ramification theory given by the residue of $ζ$\_{K, p}(s) at s=1. This is done via the ``genus theory'' of p-adic pseudo-measures, inaugurated in the 1970/80's and the fact that T\_{K, p} only depends on the p-class group and on the normalized p-adic regulator of K (Theorem A). We apply this to prove a conjecture of Deng--Li giving the structures of K\_2(Z\_K)[2^$\infty$] for an interesting family of real quadratic fields (Theorem B). Then, for p>3, we give a lower bound of the p-rank of K\_2(\BZ\_K) in cyclic p-extensions (Theorem C). Complements, PARI programs and tables are given in an Appendix.

Démystifier les liens entre l'addiction au sport et les troubles du comportement alimentaire
Creators: name: Collin, Véronique

Year: 2019

description: Bien s’alimenter et faire du sport sont deux pratiques valorisées socialement. Toutefois, les troubles du comportement alimentaire et l’addiction au sport sont des problématiques également omniprésentes dans la société aujourd’hui. Plusieurs études scientifiques plus ou moins récentes présentent ainsi des liens complexes entre le sport et les troubles du comportement alimentaire (TCA). Cependant, il existe peu d’études en tant que telles sur l’addiction au sport, étant donné l’émergence récente de ce concept et conséquemment les recherches sur les liens entre l’addiction au sport et les TCA sont encore moins nombreuses. La littérature scientifique nous a tout de même permis d’observer que, pour certains, l’addiction au sport serait le trouble primaire et les le trouble secondaire, alors que d’autres défendent la théorie inverse (Afflelou, 2009 ; Filaire, Rouveix, Bouget, & Pannafieux, 2007 ; Hausenblas & Symons Downs, 2002 ; Kern, 2007a ; Maugendre et al., 2009 ; Seznec, 2008 ; Veale, 1991). De ce fait, nous n’avons pas pu observer de consensus sur cette question. Afin d’explorer la qualité et la complexité, des liens existent entre ces deux troubles, nous avons opté pour une approche sociologique et qualitative au travers de la réalisation d’entretiens semi-directifs (n=3). Ainsi, à l’aide de la théorie des niches écologiques de Ian Hacking (1998), il fut possible de déterminer que l’addiction au sport et les TCA répondent aux quatre vecteurs : taxonomie médicale, observabilité, polarité culturelle et désir d’évasion faisant de ces troubles des « maladies mentales transitoires ». Nos résultats ont également montré que les TCA émergeaient généralement en premier. Dans ce contexte, la pratique addictive du sport fut un moyen de gérer le poids et l’allure corporels. Ces résultats nous ont permis de conclure qu’il existe des liens entre l’addiction au sport et les TCA. Mots-clés : addiction au sport; troubles du comportement alimentaire (TCA); méthodologie qualitative; théorie des niches écologiques; normes sociales.

description: The decay of the standard model Higgs boson into a single photon and a vector unparticle through a one-loop process is studied. For an intermediate mass Higgs boson, this single photon plus unparticle mode can have a branching ratio comparable with the two-photon discovery mode. The emitted photon has a continuous energy spectrum encoding the nature of the recoil unparticle. It can be measured in precision studies of the Higgs boson after its discovery.

description: In this paper we derive sharp $L^p-L^q$ estimates, $1\leq p\leq q\leq \infty$ (including endpoint estimates as $L^1-L^1$ and $L^1-L^\infty$) for dissipative wave-type equations, under the assumption that the dissipation dampen the oscillations but it does not cancel them. We assume that the phase function $w$ is homogeneous of some degree $σ>0$ and that its Hessian matrix has maximal rank, including the critical case $σ=1$, while the dissipative term $a(ξ)>0$ may be inhomogeneous. The critical case includes waves with viscoelastic or structural damping, damped double dispersion equations and plate equations with rotational inertia, and so on. We also obtain the analogous results for fractional Schrödinger-type equations with a potential.

description: We revisit Duff, Okun, and Veneziano's divergent views on the number of fundamental constants and argue that the issue can be set to rest by having spacetime as the starting point. This procedure disentangles the resolution in what depends on the assumed spacetime (whether relativistic or not) from the theories built over it. By defining that the number of fundamental constants equals the minimal number of independent standards necessary to express all observables, as assumed by Duff, Okun, and Veneziano, it is shown that the same units fixed by the apparatuses used to construct the spacetimes are enough to express all observables of the physical laws defined over them. As a result, the number of fundamental constants equals two in Galilei spacetime and one in relativistic spacetimes.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We give a partial list of 26 tight Bell inequalities for the case where Alice and Bob choose among four two-outcome measurements. All tight Bell inequalities with less settings are reviewed as well. For each inequality we compute numerically the maximal quantum violation, the resistance to noise and the minimal detection efficiency required for closing the detection loophole. Surprisingly, most of these inequalities are outperformed by the CHSH inequality.

description: We examined the instanton contribution to the QCD configurations generated from lattice QCD for $N_F=0$, $N_F=2+1$ and $N_F=2+1+1$ dynamical quark flavors from two different and complementary approaches. First via the use of Gradient flow, we computed instanton liquid properties using an algorithm to localize instantons in the gauge field configurations and studied their evolution with flow time. Then, the analysis of the running at low momenta of gluon Green's functions serves as an independent confirmation of the instanton density which can also be derived without the use of the Gradient flow.

Analyzing the Effects of Labor Standards on U.S. Export Performance: A Time Series Approach With Structural Change

description: We analyze the empirical effects of di¤erent measures of labor standards on the export performance of the United States using annual data for the period 1950-1998, applying a time series approach based on the structural change literature. Hence, we estimate a model with endogenous breaks following the methodology proposed by Bai and Perron (1998). The results show that the labor standards, represented by the number of hours worked, the rate of occupational injuries and the unionization rate, are all very important to explain the behavior of exports for the United States. In particular, we find that low labor standards may both improve or lead to a deterioration in export performance.
String corrections to circular Wilson loop and anomalies

description: We study string quantum corrections to the ratio of latitude and circular Wilson loops in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling. Conformal gauge for the corresponding minimal surface in AdS(5)xS(5) is singular and we show that an IR anomaly associated with the divergence in the conformal factor removes previously reported discrepancy with the exact field-theory result. We also carefully check conformal anomaly cancellation and recalculate fluctuation determinants by directly evaluating phaseshifts for all the fluctuation modes.

description: Grid Forming (GFM) Inverters and their capabilities are critical to enable growing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) into the electrical grid. The electrical inertia brought by GFM inverters to the network can replace or supplement the inertia of rotating machines that is a key element for power system stability. The German research project "Netzregelung 2.0" ("Grid Control 2.0") investigated the operation of power systems with GFM inverters and developed inverter controls and possible grid code compliance testing approaches. First outcomes regarding the testing approaches for inertia provision are presented. A major portion of grid-forming control approaches can be described following the well-known equations of synchronous machines and thus can also be characterized in their frequency behaviour with reference to the first order swing equation of a rotating system, mainly characterized by the acceleration time constant (Ta) and damping (D). The accurate determination of these values is important for system operators and future ancillary service markets. Measurements were performed based on existing and upcoming standards and guidelines with a special focus on parameter determination and measurement uncertainty.

description: Symbolic switch-level simulation has been extensively applied to the functional verification of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry. We have extended this technique to account for real-valued data-dependent delay values and have developed a novel mechanism for symbolically computing data-dependent Elmore delays. We present our symbolic simulation and delay calculation algorithms and discuss their application to the timing and functional verification of full-custom transistor-level CMOS circuitry
Precise test of Higgs properties via triple Higgs production in VBF at future colliders

description: For certain classes of Beyond the Standard Model theories, including composite Higgs models, the coupling of the Higgs to gauge bosons can be different from the Standard Model one. In this case, the multi-boson production via vector boson fusion (VBF) can be hugely enhanced in comparison to the SM production one due to the lack of cancellation in longitudinal vector boson scattering. Among these processes, triple Higgs boson production in VBF plays a special role - its enhancement is especially spectacular due to the absence of background from transversely polarised vector bosons in the final state. While the rates from $pp\to jjhhh$ production in vector boson fusion are too low at the LHC and even at future 33 TeV $pp$ colliders, we have found that the 100 TeV $pp$ future circular collider (FCC) has the unique opportunity to probe the $hVV$ coupling far beyond the LHC sensitivity. We have evaluated the $pp\to jjhhh$ rates as a function of deviation from the $hVV$ coupling and have found that the background is much smaller than the signal for observable signal rates. We also found that the 100 TeV $pp$ FCC can probe the $hVV$ coupling up to the permille level, which is far beyond the LHC reach. These results highlight a special role of the $hhh$ VBF production and stress once more the importance of the 100 TeV $pp$ FCC.
