description: Traditional Blockchain Sharding approaches can only tolerate up to n/3 of nodes being adversary because they rely on the hypergeometric distribution to make a failure (an adversary does not have n/3 of nodes globally but can manipulate the consensus of a Shard) hard to happen. The system must maintain a large Shard size (the number of nodes inside a Shard) to sustain the low failure probability so that only a small number of Shards may exist. In this paper, we present a new approach of Blockchain Sharding that can withstand up to n/2 of nodes being bad. We categorise the nodes into different classes, and every Shard has a fixed number of nodes from different classes. We prove that this design is much more secure than the traditional models (only have one class) and the Shard size can be reduced significantly. In this way, many more Shards can exist, and the transaction throughput can be largely increased. The improved Blockchain Sharding approach is promising to serve as the foundation for decentralised autonomous organisations and decentralised database.

description: Initial clinical reports comparing the delivery of radiotherapy (RT) at distinct times of the day suggest that this strategy might affect toxicity and oncologic outcomes of radiation for multiple human tissues, but the clinical effects on high-grade gliomas (HGG) are unknown. The present study addresses the hypothesis that radiotherapy treatment time of the day (RT-TTD) influences outcome and/or toxic events in HGG. Patients treated between 2009–2018 were reviewed (n = 109). Outcomes were local control (LC), distant CNS control (DCNSC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RT-TTD was classified as morning if ≥50% of fractions were delivered before 12:00 h (n = 70) or as afternoon (n = 39) if after 12:00 h. The average age was 62.6 years (range: 14.5–86.9) and 80% were glioblastoma. The median follow-up was 10.9 months (range: 0.4–57.2). The 1y/3y LC, DCNSC, and PFS were: 61.3%/28.1%, 86.8%/65.2%, and 39.7%/10.2%, respectively. Equivalent PFS was found between morning and afternoon groups (HR 1.27; p = .3). The median OS was 16.5 months. Patients treated in the afternoon had worse survival in the univariate analysis (HR 1.72; p = .05), not confirmed after multivariate analysis (HR 0.92, p = .76). Patients with worse baseline performance status and treatment interruptions showed worse PFS and OS. The proportion of patients that developed grade 3 acute toxicity, pseudo progression, and definitive treatment interruptions were 10.1%, 9.2%, and 7.3%, respectively, and were not affected by RT-TTD. In conclusion, for patients with HGG, there was no difference in PFS and OS between patients treated in the morning or afternoon. Of note, definitive treatment interruptions adversely affected outcomes and should be avoided, especially in patients with low performance status. Based on these clinical findings, high-grade glioma cells may not be the best initial model to be irradiated in order to study the effects of chronotherapy.

description: Concrete is the most extensively used and adaptable
building material which is generally used to resist compressive forces. Since the use of cement and production of cement creates much more environmental issues and is
costlier also. Marble Dust is a developing composite material that will allow the concrete industry to optimize materiel use, produce financial profit and construct structures that will be strong, durable and sensitive to the environment. The potential use of Marble Dust can be an ideal choice for substituting in a cementitious binder as the reactivity efficiency increases due to the presence of lime. The waste generated from the industries causes environmental problems. Hence the reuse of this waste material has to be emphasized. It has been estimated that several million tons of Marble dust are produced during quarrying worldwide. Hence utilization of marble powder has become an important alternative materials towards the efficient utilization in concrete for improved harden properties of concrete. A marble dust,obtained as a by-product of marble cutting, sawing, shaping was characterized from physical and chemical point of view for using it as binding material in production of concrete and mortar. Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from the transformation of a pure limestone. Marble dust contains high calcium oxide content of more than 50%. To avoid adverse environmental circumstances, the content of cement is reduced in concrete and replaced by marble dust which reduces cost
and addition of marble dust also increases strength and
durability of concrete. The marble dust was replaced with
cement at 0%, 3.5%, 7%, 10.5%, 14%, 17.5% & 21% by
weight for M20 grade concrete. Concrete mixes were
experimentally tested and compared in terms of compressive strength of the conventional cement concrete at 28 days for 150mm cubes.

description: Sleep deficiency is well-documented in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Sleep deficiency includes poor sleep quality and an inadequate amount of sleep, and is a modifiable risk factor for IBS symptom exacerbations. Prior studies in other populations have identified chronotype and social jetlag (SJL) as important determinants of sleep outcomes. However, chronotype and SJL have not been examined in women with IBS. We used multiple linear regression analyses to determine whether chronotype and SJL are associated with sleep outcomes during weekdays among women with IBS predominant constipation (IBS-C), IBS with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D), and healthy control (HC) women. This sample included 62 women with IBS (IBS-C = 29, IBS-D = 33) and 58 HC women who completed a 28-day daily diary from two study cohorts. The average age of the participants was 30.1 (SD 7.2) years. Chronotype was estimated from daily diary data with the average mid-sleep time on weekends (MSWwe). SJL was calculated by subtracting the average mid-sleep time on weekdays from MSWwe. Sleep outcomes included diary assessments of sleep quality, sleep need met, and restorative sleep during weekdays. In HCs, later chronotype was predictive of lower sleep quality (β = −0.19, p p p = .073), whereas SJL was not associated with sleep outcomes. Similar to HCs, earlier chronotypes in women with IBS-C reported better sleep quality and more sufficient sleep need met and restorative sleep during weekdays than later chronotypes (all p > .05). Compared to HCs, the relationships of chronotype with weekday sleep outcomes in the women with IBS-D were in the opposite directions (all p

description: The time dependence of the recently introduced minimum spanning tree description of correlations between stocks, called the ``asset tree'' have been studied to reflect the economic taxonomy. The nodes of the tree are identified with stocks and the distance between them is a unique function of the corresponding element of the correlation matrix. By using the concept of a central vertex, chosen as the most strongly connected node of the tree, an important characteristic is defined by the mean occupation layer (MOL). During crashes the strong global correlation in the market manifests itself by a low value of MOL. The tree seems to have a scale free structure where the scaling exponent of the degree distribution is different for `business as usual' and `crash' periods. The basic structure of the tree topology is very robust with respect to time. We also point out that the diversification aspect of portfolio optimization results in the fact that the assets of the classic Markowitz portfolio are always located on the outer leaves of the tree. Technical aspects like the window size dependence of the investigated quantities are also discussed.

description: We propose a simple grand unified theory (GUT) scenario in which supersymmetry (SUSY) is spontaneously broken in visible sector. Our model is based on the GUT model that has been proposed to solve almost all problems in conventional GUT scenarios. In the previous work, the problems can be solved by a natural assumption in a supersymmetric vacuum. In this paper, we consider an extension of the model (i.e. omitting one singlet field) and break SUSY spontaneously without new sector. Our model does not have hidden sector and predicts high-scale SUSY where sfermion masses are of order 100-1000 TeV and flavor violating processes are suppressed. In this scenario, we can see an explicit signature of GUT in sfermion mass spectrum since the sfermion mass spectrum respects SU(5) matter unification. In addition, we find a superheavy long lived charged lepton as a proof of our scenario, and it may be seen in the LHC.

description: High-quality single crystals of NdFeAsO$_{0.65}$F$_{0.35}$ (the transition temperature $T_{\rm c} \simeq 30.6$~K) were studied in zero-field (ZF) and transverse-field (TF) muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($μ$SR) experiments. An upturn in muon-spin depolarization rate at $T\lesssim 3$~K was observed in ZF-$μ$SR measurements and it was associated with the onset of ordering of Nd electronic moments. Measurements of the magnetic field penetration depth ($λ$) were performed in the TF geometry. By applying the external magnetic field $B_{\rm ex}$ parallel to the crystallographic $c$-axis ($B_{\rm ex}\| c$) and parallel to the $ab$-plane ($B_{\rm ex}\| ab$), the temperature dependencies of the in-plane component ($λ_{ab}^{-2}$) and the combination of the in-plane and the out of plane components ($λ_{ab,c}^{-2}$) of the superfluid density were determined, respectively. The out-of-plane superfluid density component ($λ_{c}^{-2}$) was further obtained by combining the results of $B_{\rm ex} \| c$ and $B_{\rm ex} \| {ab}$ set of experiments. The temperature dependencies of $λ_{ab}^{-2}$, $λ_{ab,c}^{-2}$, and $λ_{c}^{-2}$ were analyzed within the framework of a self-consistent two-gap model despite of using the traditional $α$-model. Interband coupling was taken into account, instead of assuming it to be zero as it stated in the $α$-model. A relatively small value of the interband coupling constant $Λ_{12} \simeq 0.01$ was obtained, thus indicating that the energy bands in NdFeAsO$_{0.65}$F$_{0.35}$ are only weakly coupled. In spite of their small magnitude, the coupling between the bands leads to the single value of the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$.

description: We use a quasi-Corbino sample geometry with independent contacts to different edge states in the quantum Hall effect regime to investigate a charge redistribution between cyclotron-split edge states at high imbalance. We also modify Buttiker formalism by introducing local transport characteristics in it and use this modified Buttiker picture to describe the experimental results. We find that charge transfer between cyclotron-split edge states at high imbalance can be described by a single parameter, which is a transferred between edge states portion of the available for transfer part of the electrochemical potential imbalance. This parameter is found to be independent of the particular sample characteristics, describing fundamental properties of the inter-edge-state scattering. From the experiment we obtain it in the dependence on the voltage imbalance between edge states and propose a qualitative explanation to the experimental findings.

Unlike $gϕ^3$ theory in 6 dimension $ιgϕ^3$ theory develops a new non trivial fixed point which is energetically stable.

description: We compute eigenmodes of the lattice Dirac operator for quenched SU(3) gauge configurations on the 4-torus with topological charge 1. We find a strong dependence of the zero modes on the boundary conditions which we impose for the Dirac operator. The lumps seen by the eigenmodes often change their position when changing the boundary conditions, while the local chirality of the lumps remains the same. Our results show that the zero mode of a charge 1 configuration can couple to more than one object. We address the question whether these objects could be fractionally charged lumps.

description: A great number of computer vision publications have focused on distinguishing between human action recognition and classification rather than the intensity of actions performed. Indexing the intensity which determines the performance of human actions is a challenging task due to the uncertainty and information deficiency that exists in the video inputs. To remedy this uncertainty, in this paper we coupled fuzzy logic rules with the neural-based action recognition model to rate the intensity of a human action as intense or mild. In our approach, we used a Spatio-Temporal LSTM to generate the weights of the fuzzy-logic model, and then demonstrate through experiments that indexing of the action intensity is possible. We analyzed the integrated model by applying it to videos of human actions with different action intensities and were able to achieve an accuracy of 89.16% on our intensity indexing generated dataset. The integrated model demonstrates the ability of a neuro-fuzzy inference module to effectively estimate the intensity index of human actions.

description: We consider the fluctuation conductivity in the critical region of a disorder induced quantum phase transition in layered d-wave superconductors. We specifically address the fluctuation contribution to the system's conductivity in the limit of large (quasi-two-dimensional system) and small (quasi-three-dimensional system) separation between adjacent layers of the system. Both in-plane and c-axis conductivities were discussed near the point of insulator-superconductor phase transition. The value of the dynamical critical exponent, $z=2$, permits a perturbative treatment of this quantum phase transition under the renormalization group approach. We discuss our results for the system conductivities in the critical region as function of temperature and disorder.

description: In this paper we explore possible extensions of Interacting Dark Energy cosmologies, where Dark Energy and Dark Matter interact non-gravitationally with one another. In particular, we focus on the neutrino sector, analyzing the effect of both neutrino masses and the effective number of neutrino species. We consider the Planck 2018 legacy release data combined with several other cosmological probes, finding no evidence for new physics in the dark radiation sector. The current neutrino constraints from cosmology should be therefore regarded as robust, as they are not strongly dependent on the dark sector physics, once all the available observations are combined. Namely, we find a total neutrino mass $M_ν<0.15$ eV and a number of effective relativistic degrees of freedom of $N_{\rm eff}=3.03^{+0.33}_{-0.33}$, both at 95\% CL, which are close to those obtained within the $Λ$CDM cosmology, $M_ν<0.12$ eV and $N_{\rm eff}=3.00^{+0.36}_{-0.35}$ for the same data combination.

description: The current financial and sovereign crisis is pushing European politicians and EU bureaucrats to devise new institutional and policy solutions. However, the new EU institutional framework and stricter regulatory requirements do not introduce significant changes in the laissez-faire nature of the regulatory approach. Our opinion is that the entire re-regulation process does not go to the roots of how financial fragility endogenously accumulates, and how finally it produces a crisis each time starting from the weakest part of the financial system. Analysing the European banking sectors from this perspective, we show how domestic specificities add to the limits due to risk-based regulation and supervision. We then build on Minsky’s regulatory proposals to present the skeleton of a simple alternative to the existing regulatory approach. JEL Codes: G01, G21, G28

description: The first principle derivation of kinetic transport equations suggests that a CP-violating mass term during the electroweak phase transition can induce axial vector currents. Since the important terms are of first order in gradients there is a possibility to construct new rephasing invariants that are proportional to the CP phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and to circumvent the upper bound of CP-violating contributions in the Standard Model, the Jarlskog invariant. Qualitative arguments are given that these new contributions still fail to explain electroweak baryogenesis in extensions of the Standard Model with a strong first order phase transition.

description: Polar metals are an intriguing class of materials that simultaneously host free carriers and polar structural distortions. Despite the name "polar metal," however, most well-studied polar metals are poor electrical conductors. Here, we demonstrate the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth of LaPtSb and LaAuGe, two polar metal compounds whose electrical resistivity is an order of magnitude lower than the well studied oxide polar metals. These materials belong to a broad family of $ABC$ intermetallics adopting the stuffed wurtzite structure, also known as hexagonal Heusler compounds. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) reveals a polar structure with unidirectionally buckled $BC$ (PtSb, AuGe) planes. Magnetotransport measurements demonstrate good metallic behavior with low residual resistivity ($ρ_{LaAuGe}=59.05$ $μΩ\cdot$cm and $ρ_{LaAPtSb}=27.81$ $μΩ\cdot$cm at 2K) and high carrier density ($n_h\sim 10^{21}$ cm$^{-3}$). Photoemission spectroscopy measurements confirm the band metallicity and are in quantitative agreement with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Through DFT-Chemical Pressure and Crystal Orbital Hamilton Population analyses, the atomic packing factor is found to support the polar buckling of the structure, though the degree of direct interlayer $B-C$ bonding is limited by repulsion at the $A-C$ contacts. When combined with insulating hexagonal Heuslers, these materials provide a new platform for fully epitaxial, multiferroic heterostructures.
Radioactive Al26 and Fe60 in the Milky Way: implications of the RHESSI detection of Fe60

description: The recent detection of gamma-ray lines from radioactive Al26 and Fe60 in the Milky Way by the RHESSI satellite calls for a reassessment of the production sites of those nuclides. The observed gamma-ray line flux ratio is in agreement with calculations of nucleosynthesis in massive stars, exploding as SNII (Woosley and Weaver 1995); in the light of those results, this observation would suggest then that SNII are the major sources of Al26 in the Milky Way, since no other conceivable source produces substantial amounts of Fe60. However, more recent theoretical studies find that SNII produce much higher Fe60/Al26 ratios than previously thought and, therefore, they cannot be the major Al26 sources in the Galaxy (otherwise Fe60 would be detected long ago, with a line flux similar to the one of Al26). Wolf-Rayet stars, ejecting Al26 (but not Fe60) in their stellar winds, appear then as a most natural candidate. We point out, however, that this scenario faces also an important difficulty. Forthcoming results of ESA's INTEGRAL satellite, as well as consistent calculations of nucleosynthesis in massive stars (including stars of initial masses as high as 100 M_sun and metallicities up to 3 Z_sun), are required to settle the issue.

description: We consider statistical correlations between the heights of conductance peaks corresponding to two different levels in a Coulomb-blockaded quantum dot. Correlations exist for two peaks at the same magnetic field if the field does not fully break time-reversal symmetry as well as for peaks at different values of a magnetic field that fully breaks time-reversal symmetry. Our results are also relevant to Coulomb-blockade conductance peak height statistics in the presence of weak spin-orbit coupling in a chaotic quantum dot.

description: In general, a quantum circuit is constructed with elementary gates, such as one-qubit gates and CNOT gates. It is possible, however, to speed up the execution time of a given circuit by merging those elementary gates together into larger modules, such that the desired unitary matrix expressing the algorithm is directly implemented. We demonstrate this by taking the two-qubit Grover's algorithm implemented in NMR quantum computation, whose pseudopure state is generated by cyclic permutations of the state populations. This is the first exact time-optimal solution, to our knowledge, obtained for a self-contained quantum algorithm.

title: A Kaldorian approach to catch up and structural change in economies with high degree of heterogeneity

description: This paper, based on Kaldor’s main contributions, discusses the specificities in the catch up process of developing economies with high degree of structural heterogeneity. The theoretical model developed shows that developing economies, when modernizing the domestic versus external stock of capital, can reduce the technological gap and thus obtain a faster growth rate without producing disequilibrium in the balance of payments in the long run. As income distribution explains the incentive to the introduction of innovations through capital accumulation, the model is well succeed in connecting capital accumulation, income distribution, technological gap and long term external constraint. We conclude that capital accumulation, under certain circumstances, can overcome external constraint if the accumulation effort promotes structural change increasing the importance of sectors more technological-intensive.

Reinforcement Learning of Control Policy for Linear Temporal Logic Specifications Using Limit-Deterministic Generalized Büchi Automata

description: This letter proposes a novel reinforcement learning method for the synthesis of a control policy satisfying a control specification described by a linear temporal logic formula. We assume that the controlled system is modeled by a Markov decision process (MDP). We convert the specification to a limit-deterministic generalized Büchi automaton (LDGBA) with several accepting sets that accepts all infinite sequences satisfying the formula. The LDGBA is augmented so that it explicitly records the previous visits to accepting sets. We take a product of the augmented LDGBA and the MDP, based on which we define a reward function. The agent gets rewards whenever state transitions are in an accepting set that has not been visited for a certain number of steps. Consequently, sparsity of rewards is relaxed and optimal circulations among the accepting sets are learned. We show that the proposed method can learn an optimal policy when the discount factor is sufficiently close to one.

description: We present a novel approach for the integration of scattering cross sections and the generation of partonic event samples in high-energy physics. We propose an importance sampling technique capable of overcoming typical deficiencies of existing approaches by incorporating neural networks. The method guarantees full phase space coverage and the exact reproduction of the desired target distribution, in our case given by the squared transition matrix element. We study the performance of the algorithm for a few representative examples, including top-quark pair production and gluon scattering into three- and four-gluon final states.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: A systematic analysis of the complex lineshape at $(π,0)$ of heavily overdoped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ is presented. We show that a coherent component in the quasi-particle excitation is correlated with the superfluid density throughout the entire doping range and suggest it is a direct measure of the order parameter of high temperature superconductors.

description: Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive visual impairment affecting millions of individuals. Since there is no current treatment for the disease, the only means of improving the lives of individuals suffering from the disease is via assistive technologies. In this paper we propose a novel and effective methodology to accurately generate a parametric model for the perceptual deficit caused by the physiological deterioration of a patient's retina due to AMD. Based on the parameters of the model, a mechanism is developed to simulate the patient's perception as a result of the disease. This simulation can effectively deliver the perceptual impact and its progression to the patient's eye doctor. In addition, we propose a mixed-reality apparatus and interface to allow the patient recover functional vision and to compensate for the perceptual loss caused by the physiological damage. The results obtained by the proposed approach show the superiority of our framework over the state-of-the-art low-vision systems.

description: A variety of gauges are used in cosmological perturbation theory. These are often chosen in order to attribute physical properties to a particular choice of coordinates, or otherwise to simplify the form of the resultant equations. Calculations are then performed with the understanding that they could have been done in any gauge, and that transformations between different gauges can be made at will. We show that this logic can be extended to the domain of large density contrasts, where different types of perturbative expansion are required, but that the way in which gauges can be chosen in the presence of such structures is severely constrained. In particular, most gauges that are commonly considered in the cosmology literature are found to be unviable in the presence of non-linear structures. This includes spatially flat gauge, synchronous gauge, comoving orthogonal gauge, total matter gauge, N-body gauge, and the uniform density gauge. In contrast, we find that the longitudinal gauge and the Newtonian motion gauge are both viable choices in both standard cosmological perturbation theory, and in the post-Newtonian perturbative expansions that are required in order to model non-linear structures.

description: Our goal is to find accurate and efficient algorithms, when they exist, for evaluating rational expressions containing floating point numbers, and for computing matrix factorizations (like LU and the SVD) of matrices with rational expressions as entries. More precisely, {\em accuracy} means the relative error in the output must be less than one (no matter how tiny the output is), and {\em efficiency} means that the algorithm runs in polynomial time. Our goal is challenging because our accuracy demand is much stricter than usual.
