Closed Bosonic String Partition Function in Time Independent Exact PP-Wave Background

description: The modular invariance of the one-loop partition function of the closed bosonic string in four dimensions in the presence of certain homogeneous exact pp-wave backgrounds is studied. In the absence of an axion field the partition function is found to be modular invariant. In the presence of an axion field modular invariace is broken. This can be attributed to the light-cone gauge which breaks the symmetry in the $σ$-, $t$-directions. Recovery of this broken modular invariance suggests the introduction of twists in the world-sheet directions. However, one needs to go beyond the light-cone gauge to introduce such twists.

description: As state-of-the-art deep neural networks are deployed at the core of more advanced Al-based products and services, the incentive for copying them (i.e., their intellectual properties) by rival adversaries is expected to increase considerably over time. The best way to extract or steal knowledge from such networks is by querying them using a large dataset of random samples and recording their output, followed by training a student network to mimic these outputs, without making any assumption about the original networks. The most effective way to protect against such a mimicking attack is to provide only the classification result, without confidence values associated with the softmax layer.In this paper, we present a novel method for generating composite images for attacking a mentor neural network using a student model. Our method assumes no information regarding the mentor's training dataset, architecture, or weights. Further assuming no information regarding the mentor's softmax output values, our method successfully mimics the given neural network and steals all of its knowledge. We also demonstrate that our student network (which copies the mentor) is impervious to watermarking protection methods, and thus would not be detected as a stolen model.Our results imply, essentially, that all current neural networks are vulnerable to mimicking attacks, even if they do not divulge anything but the most basic required output, and that the student model which mimics them cannot be easily detected and singled out as a stolen copy using currently available techniques.

description: We compare quark stars made of color-superconducting quark matter to normal-conducting quark stars. We focus on the most simple color-superconducting system, a two-flavor color superconductor, and employ the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model to compute the gap parameter and the equation of state. By varying the strength of the four-fermion coupling of the NJL model, we study the mass and the radius of the quark star as a function of the value of the gap parameter. If the coupling constant exceeds a critical value, the gap parameter does not vanish even at zero density. For coupling constants below this critical value, mass and radius of a color-superconducting quark star change at most by ca. 20% compared to a star consisting of normal-conducting quark matter. For coupling constants above the critical value mass and radius may change by factors of two or more.

description: Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) are a powerful class of generative models, but their training requires computing a gradient that, unlike supervised backpropagation on typical loss functions, is notoriously difficult even to approximate. Here, we show that properly combining standard gradient updates with an off-gradient direction, constructed from samples of the RBM ground state (mode), improves their training dramatically over traditional gradient methods. This approach, which we call mode training, promotes faster training and stability, in addition to lower converged relative entropy (KL divergence). Along with the proofs of stability and convergence of this method, we also demonstrate its efficacy on synthetic datasets where we can compute KL divergences exactly, as well as on a larger machine learning standard, MNIST. The mode training we suggest is quite versatile, as it can be applied in conjunction with any given gradient method, and is easily extended to more general energy-based neural network structures such as deep, convolutional and unrestricted Boltzmann machines.

DUST : [A Proxy for the Unheard]

description: A misconception of architecture is that it’s built by humans for humans, and once constructed, is static. Although buildings may primarily be designed within Euclidean space, their lives are not constrained to it; they interact with the ambient atmosphere and the beings within it. Architecture exists within the framework of the Actor Network Theory (ANT); it undergoes constant change through interactions with beings within its ambient environment.1 ANT flattens hierarchy, considering the actions of all beings as equal. Our buildings are exposed to dust and countless more-than-human entities that exist within the atmosphere, invisible to the naked eye. The more-than-human interacts with the built environment, forming rich internal narratives. Sympathetic engagement with the physical registrations of such beings exposes another layer to ‘nature’ that is invisible to the naked eye. Exposure to additional beings and processes of the natural world breaks the boundary between built and natural and strengthens the bond between humans and the more-than-human.

description: Two-stage wireless power receivers, which typically include an AC-DC diode rectifier and a DC-DC regulator, are popular solutions in low-power wireless power transfer applications. However, the interaction between the rectifier and the regulator may introduce beat frequency oscillation on both the DC-link and output capacitors. In this paper, the cause of the beat frequency oscillation and its related issues are investigated with the corresponding design solution on alleviating the oscillation discussed. Theoretical and experimental results verifying the presence of beat frequency oscillation in the two-stage wireless receiver system are provided. Our study shows that the beat frequency oscillation can be significantly alleviated if appropriate design solutions are applied.

description: Despite a widespread decline in rural poverty in the 1990s, a quarter of nonmetro counties lost population over the decade. Poverty rates were no higher in these counties than in counties without population loss. We identify remote (from metro areas), thinly settled counties as “frontier” counties, arguing that the lack of access to services and the small labor market sizes in these counties inhibits the inmigration of people and businesses, particularly in the absence of compensating natural amenities. In two of every three low-amenity frontier counties, population loss exceeded 5 percent in 1990-2000. Most of these counties are farming-dependent, less because of their abundance of agriculture than because of their dearth of other economic activities. Some low-amenity frontier counties did gain population in the past decade. We look at these exceptions to see if there are rural development lessons to be learned.

description: More than 80 percent of the Nation’s 285 million people now reside in metropolitan areas. Many in this vast city and suburban population are attracted to the recreational opportunities and attractions of rural areas, such as beautiful scenery, lakes, mountains, forests, and resorts. For rural communities struggling to offset job losses from farming, mining, and manufacturing, capitalizing on the recreational appeal of an area fosters economic development, attracts new residents, and retains existing population. This article outlines a method to identify nonmetro counties with high recreation development. It then examines the linkage between such development and population change, and considers its implications for the future of rural and small-town America.

description: Despite recent improvements, the Lower Mississippi Delta region—especially the rural Delta—faces many economic challenges. The Federal Government has spent large amounts of money on the region for basic income support. It has also invested in human resources in the region. However, the rural Delta has received less assistance from Federal community resource programs, which are important for economic and community development. The new Delta Regional Authority might bring the region more of such funding by helping localities plan and apply for assistance, and by leveraging public and private investment in economic development projects. If successful, this may actually save the Federal Government money over the long run on income support programs.

Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)

description: In a recent article, David Bartels addresses the issue of the band shape of the genuine binding energy spectrum of the hydrated electron. He essentially claims that the genuine binding energy of the hydrated electron must be Gaussian in shape independent of the photon energy used for ionization, contrary to what was found in our previous work for excitations energies in the UV (3.6-5.8 eV photon energy). Further, he alleges that the asymmetric (bimodal) distribution found for the genuine binding energy in our previous work must have resulted from deficiencies in the scattering cross sections used in the scattering calculations. Bartels concludes that these deficiencies arise from an allegedly wrong value of -1.0eV for the escape barrier used in the original fitting procedure to determine the scattering cross section. In the following, we show that these claims are unfounded and based on partly incorrect assumptions.

description: Seedling variety choice is one of the most important steps for perennial crop farmers as it is a key component of farm profitability over the long-term. Certified seedling varieties have become more common in recent years in developing country areas as a response to concerns about low-quality seedling and an increasing amount of climate variability for which new certified varieties may provide increased resilience. However, the adoption rate of certified seedling varieties in developing countries is generally low. Given the long-lived nature of such investments and the high level of uncertainty regarding both the climate to which they will be exposed as mature trees and the quality of the seedling there are clear linkages to farmers’ subjective belief regarding yields differential between certified and uncertified seedling, their time and risk preferences. We consider these aspects using a recently developed survey-based toll for measuring risk and time preferences and link those to stated preferences and observations on the adoption of certified seedlings. Results show that there are differences in subjective belief of yield which strongly associated with the non-adopter farmers’ intention to adopt. Time preferences play a role in adopter farmers’ intention, but risk preferences do not significantly related to adoption behaviours.

description: We report adjustable magnetic `bouncing' and focusing of a dilute $^{87}$Rb Bose gas. Both the condensate production and manipulation are realised using a particularly straight-forward apparatus. The bouncing region is comprised of approximately concentric ellipsoidal magnetic equipotentials with a centre that can be adjusted vertically. We extend, and discuss the limitations of, simple Thomas-Fermi and Monte-Carlo theoretical models for the bouncing, which at present find close agreement with the condensate's evolution. Very strong focusing has been inferred and the observation of atomic matter-wave diffraction should be possible. Prospects look bright for applications in matter-wave atom-optics, due to the very smooth nature of the mirror.

description: We study how aversion to risk and ambiguity aects the adoption of new tech- nologies by Ghanaian smallholder aquafarmers. We conduct a set of eld experiments designed to elicit farmers' risk and ambiguity preferences and combine it with survey- based information on their technology adoption decisions. We nd that aquafarmers who are more risk-averse were quicker to adopt the new technologies: a fast-growing breed of tilapia sh, extruded feed and oating cages. By contrast, ambiguity aversion has no eect on the adoption of the new tilapia breed and extruded feed. Furthermore, it slows down the adoption of oating cages - a technology which entails higher xed costs than the others - and the eect is diminishing in the number of other adopters in the village. We argue that these dierential eects are due to the fact that the technolo- gies are risk-reducing, with potential ambiguity about their payo distributions at the early stages of adoption. The ndings highlight the importance of distinguishing be- tween risk and ambiguity in investigating technology adoption decisions of small-holder farmers in developing countries.

description: The dairy sector is an important sector in Northern Ireland being the single largest contributor to its agricultural economy. However, the sector contributes more to soil phosphorus (P) surplus compared to other agricultural sectors. Consequently, the goal of this research is to analyse the environmental technical efficiency of dairy farms making use of a novel parametric hyperbolic distance function approach. The model is able to internalise P surplus as undesirable output in the dairy production process by treating desirable and undesirable outputs asymmetrically, thereby allowing for the maximum expansion of the desirable output and an equi-proportionate contraction of the undesirable output. The stochastic production frontier model is analysed simultaneously with an inefficiency model to explain variability in efficiency scores assuming the existence of heteroskedasticity in the idiosyncratic error term. Additionally, we estimated the shadow price and pollution cost ratio of P surplus in dairy farms. Our results showed that the average environmental technical efficiency estimates for dairy farms in Northern Ireland is 0.93. Intensification resulting in increased use of concentrates feed was found to be negatively related to environmental technical efficiency. We also found that age of the farmer and share of milk output have a positive relationship with environmental technical efficiency.

description: The usefulness and usability of knowledge bases (KBs) is often limited by quality issues. One common issue is the presence of erroneous assertions, often caused by lexical or semantic confusion. We study the problem of correcting such assertions, and present a general correction framework which combines lexical matching, semantic embedding, soft constraint mining and semantic consistency checking. The framework is evaluated using DBpedia and an enterprise medical KB.

description: We introduce genetic algorithms as a means to estimate the accuracy required to discriminate among different models using experimental observables. We exemplify the technique in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. If supersymmetric particles are discovered, models of supersymmetry breaking will be fit to the observed spectrum and it is beneficial to ask beforehand: what accuracy is required to always allow the discrimination of two particular models and which are the most important masses to observe? Each model predicts a bounded patch in the space of observables once unknown parameters are scanned over. The questions can be answered by minimising a "distance" measure between the two hypersurfaces. We construct a distance measure that scales like a constant fraction of an observable. Genetic algorithms, including concepts such as natural selection, fitness and mutations, provide a solution to the minimisation problem. We illustrate the efficiency of the method by comparing three different classes of string models for which the above questions could not be answered with previous techniques. The required accuracy is in the range accessible to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) when combined with a future linear collider (LC) facility. The technique presented here can be applied to more general classes of models or observables.

description: Nitrogen (N) surplus is an important environmental issue on the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland), with dairy farms contributing more compared to other agricultural sectors. As a result, there has been increased demand for efficient policy measures to improve the economic and environmental performance of dairy farms in both countries. In this study, we employed the positive mathematical programming (PMP) optimization modelling framework to simulate the economic and environmental impact of two alternative agri-environmental policy instruments on different dairy farm types. Specifically, the study considers the effects of N surplus tax and agri-environmental nutrient application standard in which farms are not allowed to apply more than 170Kg of livestock N manure per hectare on dairy farms. The results of the analyses showed that the effects agri-environmental policy instruments vary across the two countries and clusters of dairy farms, resulting in clear differential effects on farm structure and N surpluses. The study concluded that in situations where the nutrient surplus is already high, as with the large farms clusters in this study, the use of manure application standards will be more effective in limiting nutrient surplus to soils compared to the use of nutrient surplus tax.

description: Malaysia‟s agricultural sector was unintentionally neglected when the country embarked on its economic structural transformation policy to leap frog into an industrialised nation by 2020. It was a logical move as commodities prices fluctuated, more often downwards. Rubber and tin once a major foreign exchange earner lost its momentum as the major foreign exchange earner. The national policy focus shifted to industrialisation in mid 1970s, starting with import substitution policies, later to export oriented and heavy industries activities. The agricultural sector moved to the backseat of development. Veiled efforts to maintain the sector was unconvincing. The National Agricultural Policy (NAP) was only introduced in 1984, almost three decades after achieving independence in 1957, but in 1986, Malaysia introduced the Industrial Master Plan. Several economic downturns later, Malaysia realised that the agricultural sector needed the same attention as enjoyed by the other sectors. The 1997/1998 crisis unfolded the fragile economic fundamentals and a structure, which was earlier believed to be laid on a solid ground. It is perhaps for this reason that the agricultural sector was revived and the third NAP was announced soon after the crisis. In the Ninth Malaysia Plan (2006-2010) the agricultural sector was identified as the third engine of growth after the industrial and the services sectors and rebranded the New Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture was renamed the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry to reflect its wider scope of responsibilities. This paper seeks to better understand the scenario and to do the following: (1) to critically investigate why agriculture is back in the development agenda of the country, (2) to look at empirical evidences to support this move and (3) to analyse the effectiveness of the new policies introduced to meet the national agenda.

description: Energy subsidies matter, because they affect the economy, social welfare and the environment—the three dimensions of sustainability. Approval and enforcement of Targeted Subsidies Law (TSL) by Iranian government in 2010 have been considered as one of the most important economic events in the last few decades. The most important aspect of this law is reforming subsidies and rising prices of energy carriers in different parts of the economy. Article 1 of the law emphasis on adjusting of energy carries prices during the future years, gradually. Like other sectors, the agricultural and rural sector will be influenced by these changes. It is expected that implementing the law strengthen sustainable development through the efficient use of the resources and by improving the environment in agricultural and rural sector. This study tries to assess and analysis the effects of the law on environment, especially in the agricultural sector, in Iran. The results indicate that, in some cases, enforcing the law causes a 30 percent decrease in energy carries in Iranian agricultural sector.

description: The roles of institutions, either formal or informal, for rural and agriculture development in Indonesia are important. Yet, these institutions in most cases are not integrated for the advancement of rural and agricultural development. Many ministries and NGOs have programs which have common goals, such as poverty alleviat ion through rural development; community empowerment by means of increasing their role and income; increasing health status including food sufficiency. However, these formal approaches mostly are top-down, executed in hierarchy manner following bureaucracy structure in which isolated among each other. Though development may have long lasting effect when social network and social capital are included into account, both are mostly neglected. When social change are expected to have long lasting effect and should occurred in more rapid change, heterarchy is more appropriate than hierarchy. Since heterarchy is closely related to social network and social capital, hence, this paper evaluated the role of social network and heterarchy in social capital. This paper also evaluated the form of heterarchy for rural and agricultural development based on case of Posdaya movement. The study was conducted in Bantul and Kulon Progo Districts in Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. The results indicate that heterarchy may tightening and improving social networks and reducing social gap as well as the role of formal leader became more effective in advancing rural and agricultural development.

description: When you imagine paradise, what do you see? A palm tree? An island? A beach? Do you see bright blues? Surfers riding the horizon? Do you feel humidity and heat? Hear sounds of birds, breezes, and the crashing of waves? As a Western audience, our sense of paradise is largely shared. We could all point to a few places on a map, but paradise is inherently placeless, caught somewhere between the cognitive and the real. Aloha from Paradise East. Like the paradise in your head, Paradise East boasts warm water, healthy palm trees, surfing, and relaxation. Unlike the paradise in your head, Paradise East is free from the colonial ties and misogyny that sadly poisons our oceans every day. It is a counter landscape, challenging placelessness with place, the future with nostalgia, and nature with artifice. Find surfing’s lost soul in a Paradise of pure invention.
The bosonic string and superstring models in 26+2 and 10+2 dimensional space--time, and the generalized Chern-Simons action

description: We have covariantized the Lagrangians of the U(1)_V * U(1)_A models, which have U(1)_V * U(1)_A gauge symmetry in two dimensions, and studied their symmetric structures. The special property of the U(1)_V * U(1)_A models is the fact that all these models have an extra time coordinate in the target space-time. The U(1)_V * U(1)_A models coupled to two-dimensional gravity are string models in 26+2 dimensional target space-time for bosonic string and in 10+2 dimensional target space-time for superstring. Both string models have two time coordinates. In order to construct the covariant Lagrangians of the U(1)_V * U(1)_A models the generalized Chern-Simons term plays an important role. The supersymmetric generalized Chern-Simons action is also proposed. The Green-Schwarz type of U(1)_V * U(1)_A superstring model has another fermionic local symmetry as well as κ-symmetry. The supersymmetry of target space-time is different from the standard one.
