description: Emerging nonvolatile memory yields, alongside many advantages, technical shortcomings, such as reduced cell lifetime. Although many wear-leveling approaches exist to extend the lifetime of such memories, usually a tradeoff for the granularity of wear leveling has to be made. Due to iterative write schemes (repeatedly sense and write), wear out of memory in certain systems is directly dependent on the written bit value and thus can be highly imbalanced, requiring dedicated bit-wise wear leveling. Such a bit-wise wear leveling so far has only be proposed together with a special hardware support. However, if no dedicated hardware solutions are available, especially for commercial off-the-shelf systems with nonvolatile memories, a software solution can be crucial for the system lifetime. In this work, we propose entirely software-based bit-wise wear leveling, where the position of bits within CPU words in the main memory is rotated on a regular basis. We leverage the LLVM intermediate representation to adjust load and store operations of the application with a custom compiler pass. Experimental evaluation shows that the lifetime by applying local rotation within the CPU word can be extended by a factor of up to 21× . We also show that our method can incorporate with coarser-grained wear leveling, e.g., on block granularity and assist achievement of higher lifetime improvements.

description: We show that a squeezed bath, that acts on the central element of a harmonic chain, can drive the whole system to a steady state featuring a series of nested entangled pairs of oscillators that, ideally, covers the whole chain regardless of its size. We study how to realize this effect in various physical implementations, including optomechanical and superconducting devices, using currently available technologies. In these cases no squeezed fields are actually needed, and the squeezed bath is, instead, simulated by quantum reservoir engineering with bichromatic drives.

description: Data subject to heavy-tailed errors are commonly encountered in various scientific fields. To address this problem, procedures based on quantile regression and Least Absolute Deviation (LAD) regression have been developed in recent years. These methods essentially estimate the conditional median (or quantile) function. They can be very different from the conditional mean functions, especially when distributions are asymmetric and heteroscedastic. How can we efficiently estimate the mean regression functions in ultra-high dimensional setting with existence of only the second moment? To solve this problem, we propose a penalized Huber loss with diverging parameter to reduce biases created by the traditional Huber loss. Such a penalized robust approximate quadratic (RA-quadratic) loss will be called RA-Lasso. In the ultra-high dimensional setting, where the dimensionality can grow exponentially with the sample size, our results reveal that the RA-lasso estimator produces a consistent estimator at the same rate as the optimal rate under the light-tail situation. We further study the computational convergence of RA-Lasso and show that the composite gradient descent algorithm indeed produces a solution that admits the same optimal rate after sufficient iterations. As a byproduct, we also establish the concentration inequality for estimating population mean when there exists only the second moment. We compare RA-Lasso with other regularized robust estimators based on quantile regression and LAD regression. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate the satisfactory finite-sample performance of RA-Lasso.

description: Remote physiological monitoring is an active area of research that extends monitoring capabilities traditionally found in a clinical setting towards the home, telehealth, and beyond. In particular, there is interest in leveraging consumer electronic devices for sensing physiological characteristics such as heart rate, heart rate variability, and blood oxygen saturation. This thesis focuses on enhancing the understanding and usage of the sensing component for these applications to improve the performance and quality of cardio-physiological monitoring. First, a close relationship between the color spaces used for video compression and the color projection planes commonly used for heart rate estimation is identified. % that results in higher compression of the physiological signal. The study demonstrates the impact of this observation on real and synthetic data to provide a foundation to guide future video coding to optimize its configurations to better preserve the heart rate signal for health related applications. Second, an investigation with a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) multi-spectral sensor is presented with key observations related to the sampling rate, exposure settings, and multi-channel processing. These observations will enable better usage of the sensor for future studies and data collections that leverage the more precise spectral measurements from the multi-spectral sensor compared to standard RGB cameras.

description: The aim of this paper is to develop a general regression framework for the analysis of manifold-valued response in a Riemannian symmetric space (RSS) and its association with multiple covariates of interest, such as age or gender, in Euclidean space. Such RSS-valued data arises frequently in medical imaging, surface modeling, and computer vision, among many others. We develop an intrinsic regression model solely based on an intrinsic conditional moment assumption, avoiding specifying any parametric distribution in RSS. We propose various link functions to map from the Euclidean space of multiple covariates to the RSS of responses. We develop a two-stage procedure to calculate the parameter estimates and determine their asymptotic distributions. We construct the Wald and geodesic test statistics to test hypotheses of unknown parameters. We systematically investigate the geometric invariant property of these estimates and test statistics. Simulation studies and a real data analysis are used to evaluate the finite sample properties of our methods.

description: Selaginella asperula Spring, in Martius, Fl. Bras. 1(2): 127. 1840.
 Range: —Amazonian Venezuela and Brazil to Bolivia (BE, LP, PA).
 Ecology: —Fairly common; terrestrial, forms colonies in humid forests, on steep slopes, road banks, streamsides, and on rocks; to 1000 m.
 Notes: —This is the only Bolivian Selaginella with erect, articulate stems; it also has a diffuse, slender, dichotomous branching pattern with small, strongly imbricate leaves.
 Selaginella conduplicata Spring, from the Guianas to Amazonian Peru and Brazil, is likely to occur in Bolivia. It differs from S. asperula by having long, spur-like auricles (vs. auricles lacking) on the axillary leaves. The overall habit is reminiscent of S. anceps.
 Selaginella geniculata (C.Presl) Spring, from Colombia to southern Peru, may also occur in northern Bolivia. It has zigzag main stems, and median leaves with a single oblong, entire (or nearly so) basal auricle (vs. ± straight stems).

description: Despite decades of progress, an understanding of unconventional superconductivity still remains elusive. An important open question is about the material dependence of the superconducting properties. Using the quasiparticle self-consistent GW method, we re-examine the electronic structure of copper oxide high-Tc materials. We show that QSGW captures several important features, distinctive from the conventional LDA results. The energy level splitting between dx2-y2 and d3z2-r2 is significantly enlarged and the van Hove singularity point is lowered. The calculated results compare better than LDA with recent experimental results from resonant inelastic xray scattering and angle resolved photoemission experiments. This agreement with the experiments supports the previously suggested two-band theory for the material dependence of the superconducting transition temperature, Tc.

description: This report provides description of the thermal comfort effects of the proposed low-temperature heating (LTH) and high-temperature cooling (HTC) systems in the pilot sites of Aran Islands and Sant Cugat. The pilot sites, the studied heating and cooling systems and the used modelling software are described. Suggested LTH and HTC systems are simulated and the results are compared with a baseline scenario. The results are presented and discussed. The simulations show that in the case of Aran Islands, the suggested hybrid heating system could potentially improve the thermal comfort of the occupants significantly while reducing the required supply temperature. In the case of Sant Cugat, the results show that installing either of the studied types of cooling systems would clearly improve the thermal comfort of the occupants, with the radiant cooling system slightly outperforming an all-air system. Real-life performance evaluations will be included after the studied system being installed in pilots in the next version of the deliverable.

Sum-rate Maximizing in Downlink Massive MIMO Systems with Circuit Power Consumption

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The downlink of a single cell base station (BS) equipped with large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is investigated in this paper. As the number of antennas at the base station becomes large, the power consumed at the RF chains cannot be anymore neglected. So, a circuit power consumption model is introduced in this work. It involves that the maximal sum-rate is not obtained when activating all the available RF chains. Hence, the aim of this work is to find the optimal number of activated RF chains that maximizes the sum-rate. Computing the optimal number of activated RF chains must be accompanied by an adequate antenna selection strategy. First, we derive analytically the optimal number of RF chains to be activated so that the average sum-rate is maximized under received equal power. Then, we propose an efficient greedy algorithm to select the sub-optimal set of RF chains to be activated with regards to the system sum-rate. It allows finding the balance between the power consumed at the RF chains and the transmitted power. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with the optimal performance given by brute force search (BFS) antenna selection. Simulations allow to compare the performance given by greedy, optimal and random antenna selection algorithms.

description: Plants tolerate large variations in the intensity of the light environment by controlling the efficiency of solar to chemical energy conversion. To do this, plants have a mechanism to detect the intensity, duration, and change in light as they experience moving shadows, flickering light, and cloud cover. Sugars are the primary products of CO2 fixation, a metabolic pathway that is rate limited by this solar energy conversion. We propose that sugar is a signal encoding information about the intensity, duration and change in the light environment. We previously showed that the Arabidopsis heterotrimeric G protein complex including its receptor-like Regulator of G signaling protein, AtRGS1, detects both the concentration and the exposure time of sugars [Fu, et al 2014 Cell 156: 1084–1095]. This unique property, designated dose-duration reciprocity, is a behavior that emerges from the system architecture / system motif. Here, we show that another property of the signaling system is to detect large changes in light while at the same time, filtering types of fluctuation in light that do not affect photosynthesis efficiency. When AtRGS1 is genetically ablated, photosynthesis efficiency is reduced in a changing-but not a constant-light environment. Mathematical modeling revealed that information about changes in the light environment is encoded in the amount of free AtRGS1 that becomes compartmentalized following stimulation. We propose that this property determines when to adjust photosynthetic efficiency in an environment where light intensity changes abruptly caused by moving shadows on top of a background of light changing gradually from sun rise to sun set and fluctuating light such as that caused by fluttering leaves.

Parmi les contaminants microbiologiques, les aérosols bactériens restent cependant peu étudiés. Cette étude visait à évaluer la diversité des communautés microbiennes intérieures en relation avec la santé des occupants. Les mesures ont été effectuées sur des logements de 2 cohortes en Bretagne (France), l'une avec des enfants sans pathologie et l'autre avec des enfants et adultes asthmatiques. Trente échantillons de poussière ont été analysés par séquençage haut débit afin d'évaluer la possibilité d'étudier le rôle des communautés microbiennes intérieures dans le développement des effets sur la santé, particulièrement l'asthme. Les quatre principaux phyla bactériens ont été identifiés : Actinobactéries, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, et Protéobactéries avec plus de 89% de toutes les séquences. Aucun genre bactérien n'a été associé de façon significative à la gravité de l'asthme chez les enfants. Au niveau du genre, Massilia était significativement plus fréquent chez les personnes non asthmatiques.

description: Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is commonly seen among the elderly with a substantial proportion of patients suffering from long-term dysphagia and/or an inability to protect their airway. This potentially imposes on them an increased risk of malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia. In this article, we present a patient with malnutrition and dysphagia secondary to CVA. We propose a procedure for which we will name the Percutaneous ENdoscopIc Gastrostomy and Tracheostomy (PENlIGhT) procedure for placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and tracheostomy tube (TT) at the same time. The medical literature was systematically reviewed for both PEG and tracheostomy, aiming to provide the state-of-the-art evidence for clinical use of the PENlIGhT procedure. In clinical practice, the PENlIGhT procedure is indicated for patients who are expected to have prolonged swallowing disturbance and mechanical ventilation. Some prediction tools and scores can be helpful to identify such groups of patients. Patients with poor neurological outcomes who require prolonged maintenance of life are also good candidates for the PENlIGhT procedure.

description: With recent developments in simulating nonadiabatic systems to high accuracy, it has become possible to determine how much energy is attributed to nuclear quantum effects beyond zero-point energy. In this work we calculate the non-relativistic ground-state energies of atomic and molecular systems without the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. For this purpose we utilize the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo method, in which the nodes depend on both the electronic and ionic positions. We report ground-state energies for all systems studied, ionization energies for the first-row atoms and atomization energies for the first-row hydrides. We find the ionization energies of the atoms to be nearly independent of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, within the accuracy of our results. The atomization energies of molecular systems, however, show small effects of the nonadiabatic coupling between electrons and nuclei.

Subjects: O Pioneers!, My Antonia, Nebraska prairie, frontier, ecology, nature, identity, eco-criticism, consciousness etc.

description: Abstract: Today, Willa Cather is studied for her exploration of eco-critical and ecofeminist writings. O Pioneers! is known as Cather’s “second first novel” of the frontiers that celebrates the immigrant farmers and their quest to cultivate the prairies, and My Antonia as her masterpiece. In both these novels Cather portrays her deep attachment for nature and her concern for the relation between human beings and nature. The aim of eco-criticism is to revitalize literary study and highlights the vibrant issues concerning our global and local ecology. The paper aims to explore Willa Cather’s O pioneers! and My Antonia from eco-critical perspectives. Much of Willa Cather’s writings shows her concern for nature and provides an ample opportunity for eco-critical reading. Many critics like Mary Ryder, Susan Rosowski and Glen Love identify Willa Cather as an early ecological writer who portrays the complex connection between people and place through the delineation of her characters. As an ecological conscious writer, Cather explores the value of nature, the influence of nature on humanity, and man’s philosophical and ideological views of nature. The “green reading” of her text offers an opportunity to the readers to examine the relationship between man and nature, as it presents a complete picture of sustainable community. In both the novels, O Pioneers! And in My Antonia, we have characters loving the ecosystem and protecting it.

description: UNLABELLED: Essentials Disorders of hemostasis can lead to delayed and defective wound healing. In hemophilia B (HB) mice, 7 days of Factor (F)IX or VIIa are needed to normalize wound healing. One dose of a highly active FVIIa variant (DVQ) restored normal wound closure time in HB mice. Coagulation factors with enhanced activity may acquire biological effects not due to hemostasis.

SUMMARY: Introduction We have previously reported that hemophilia B (HB) mice have delayed healing of cutaneous wounds and alterations in wound histology. Administration of a single dose of either factor IX or recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa) (NovoSeven) prior to wounding did not improve wound closure time or histology. The FVIIa analog DVQ (V158D, E296V and M298Q mutations) was designed to have higher tissue factor-independent activity than rVIIa. We hypothesized that a single dose of DVQ would be more effective in restoring wound healing in HB mice. Methods Cutaneous punch wounds were made on the backs of HB and wild-type mice, and the time to wound closure was monitored. HB mice were treated with a dose of rFVIIa (10 mg kg(-1) ) or DVQ (1 mg kg(-1) ) that corrected the tail bleeding time. Skin samples were taken at various time points after wounding, fixed, and stained, and the histology was examined. Results As previously reported, wound closure times in HB mice given one dose of rFVIIa were not improved over those in untreated HB mice. Surprisingly, healing times in HB mice treated with an equally hemostatic dose of DVQ were normalized to that in wild-type mice. However, DVQ did not correct all histologic abnormalities in HB mice. Conclusions As the doses of DVQ and rFVIIa were chosen to support comparable levels of hemostasis, our data suggest that the improved healing seen with DVQ is not solely attributable to its hemostatic activity. It is possible that the improved wound healing arises through the effect of DVQ on cell signaling mechanisms.

description: L'aviation est l'un des secteurs de transport en pleine croissance et cette tendance devrait se poursuivre dans les prochaines années. Par conséquent, l'impact des émissions de l'aviation sur le climat et la qualité de l'air est très préoccupant. Parmi les différentes options disponibles, l'industrie aéronautique a identifié le développement des biocarburants comme l'un des principaux outils permettant de lutter contre ses émissions. Dans ce travail, nous avons utilisé un générateur standard d'aérosol de combustion (CAST), spécialement conçu pour fonctionner avec un carburant liquide, afin de comparer les émissions d'un kérosène standard (Jet A-1) avec celles d'un kérosène paraffinique synthétique Fischer-Tropsch (FT-SPK).

description: L'aérosol minéral désertique, présent en troposphère libre sous forme de mélanges à plusieurs composantes, possède une distribution spatio-temporelle qui reste à révéler, tout comme sa concentration en masse, qui impacte les écosystèmes pauvres en nutriments en les fertilisant. Cette contribution montre comment accéder à la distribution spatio-temporelle sensible et précise de la rétrodiffusion optique spécifique à ces particules minérales en troposphère libre, à partir d'un lidar (UV, VIS) résolu en polarisation, basé sur un polarimètre de laboratoire unique au monde. La concentration en masse de ces particules est évaluée par lidar et, pour la première fois à notre connaissance, la sensibilité au modèle de taille et de forme choisi pour l'aérosol désertique est discutée : selon le modèle de forme choisi, des variations importantes, de l'ordre de 50 %, ont ainsi été évaluées (Mehri et al., Atm. Res., 2018).

description: The insulator-metal transition in hydrogen is one of the most outstanding problems in condensed matter physics. The high-pressure metallic phase is now predicted to be liquid atomic from T=0 K to very high temperatures. We have conducted measurements of optical properties of hot dense hydrogen in the region of 1.1-1.7 Mbar and up to 2200 K. We observe a first-order phase transition accompanied by changes in transmittance and reflectance characteristic of a metal. The phase line of this transition has a negative slope in agreement with theories of the so-called plasma phase transition.
