description: Traditional learning-based approaches for run-time Hardware Trojan detection require complex and expensive on-chip data acquisition frameworks and thus incur high area and power overhead. To address these challenges, we propose to leverage the power correlation between the executing instructions of a microprocessor to establish a machine learning-based run-time Hardware Trojan (HT) detection framework, called MacLeR. To reduce the overhead of data acquisition, we propose a single power-port current acquisition block using current sensors in time-division multiplexing, which increases accuracy while incurring reduced area overhead. We have implemented a practical solution by analyzing multiple HT benchmarks inserted in the RTL of a system-on-chip (SoC) consisting of four LEON3 processors integrated with other IPs like vga_lcd, RSA, AES, Ethernet, and memory controllers. Our experimental results show that compared to state-of-the-art HT detection techniques, MacLeR achieves 10\% better HT detection accuracy (i.e., 96.256%) while incurring a 7x reduction in area and power overhead (i.e., 0.025% of the area of the SoC and <0.07% of the power of the SoC). In addition, we also analyze the impact of process variation and aging on the extracted power profiles and the HT detection accuracy of MacLeR. Our analysis shows that variations in fine-grained power profiles due to the HTs are significantly higher compared to the variations in fine-grained power profiles caused by the process variations (PV) and aging effects. Moreover, our analysis demonstrates that, on average, the HT detection accuracy drop in MacLeR is less than 1% and 9% when considering only PV and PV with worst-case aging, respectively, which is ~10x less than in the case of the state-of-the-art ML-based HT detection technique.

description: Sponsored search auction is a crucial component of modern search engines. It requires a set of candidate bidwords that advertisers can place bids on. Existing methods generate bidwords from search queries or advertisement content. However, they suffer from the data noise in and pairs. In this paper, we propose a triangular bidword generation model (TRIDENT), which takes the high-quality data of paired as a supervision signal to indirectly guide the bidword generation process. Our proposed model is simple yet effective: by using bidword as the bridge between search query and advertisement, the generation of search query, advertisement and bidword can be jointly learned in the triangular training framework. This alleviates the problem that the training data of bidword may be noisy. Experimental results, including automatic and human evaluations, show that our proposed TRIDENT can generate relevant and diverse bidwords for both search queries and advertisements. Our evaluation on online real data validates the effectiveness of the TRIDENT's generated bidwords for product search.

Covariant anomalies and Hawking radiation from charged rotating black strings in anti-de Sitter spacetimes

description: Motivated by the success of the recently proposed method of anomaly cancellation to derive Hawking fluxes from black hole horizons of spacetimes in various dimensions, we have further extended the covariant anomaly cancellation method shortly simplified by Banerjee and Kulkarni to explore the Hawking radiation of the (3+1)-dimensional charged rotating black strings and their higher dimensional extensions in anti-de Sitter spacetimes, whose horizons are not spherical but can be toroidal, cylindrical or planar, according to their global identifications. It should be emphasized that our analysis presented here is very general in the sense that the determinant of the reduced (1+1)-dimensional effective metric from these black strings need not be equal to one $(\sqrt{-g} \neq 1)$. Our results indicate that the gauge and energy momentum fluxes needed to cancel the (1+1)-dimensional covariant gauge and gravitational anomalies are compatible with the Hawking fluxes. Besides, thermodynamics of these black strings are studied in the case of a variable cosmological constant.

title:  Reproduction, First Year Growth and Distribution of Anadromous Rainbow Smelt, Osmerus mordax (Mitchill), in the Paker River-Plum Island Sound Estuary, Massachusetts
Creators: name: Clayton, Gary R.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1976

description: The reproductive biology of anadromous rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax (Mitchill), in the Parker River-Plum Island Sound estuary was investigated during the fall 1974 and spring 1975. Only one set of maturing eggs was observed within the ovaries of fish examined; all ovarian locations matured at a similar rate. Larger fish produced larger ovaries and eggs but fewer eggs per gram of ovarian weight. Mean maturity indices for females and males during November through March increased 576.7% and 72.1%, respectively. Total fecundity ranged from 7,038 eggs for an age I, 127 mm female to 44,241 eggs for an age II, 204 mm specimen. Fecundity correlated highest with ovarian weight.

In 1975 spawning commenced in the Parker River on 17 March and terminated in Cart Creek on 27 April; corresponding water temperatures were 4.0°C and 8.3°C, respectively. The mean egg densities for spawning sites in Cart Creek and the Mill River were 0.79 and 0.23 eggs/cm2 , respectively. A total egg population in Cart Creek of 1,772,492 ± 278,881 was estimated by a representative but disproportionate sampling technique. Spawning stock abundance was calculated from the egg population estimate.

The influence of environmental factors upon spawning activity was examined with stepwise multiple regression; only one variable, tidal periodicity, was highly significant. Peaks of spawning activity corresponded with the bimonthly spring tides.

description: This study investigates the transport properties of a chiral elemental semiconductor tellurium (Te) under magnetic fields and pressure. Application of hydrostatic pressure reduces the resistivity of Te, while its temperature dependence remains semiconducting up to 4 GPa, contrary to recent theoretical and experimental studies. Application of higher pressure causes structural as well as semiconductor--metal transitions. The resulting metallic phase above 4 GPa exhibits superconductivity at 2 K along with a noticeable linear magnetoresistance effect. On the other hand, at ambient pressure, we identified metallic surface states on the as-cleaved (10$\bar{1}$0) surfaces of Te. The nature of these metallic surface states has been systematically studied by analyzing quantum oscillations observed in high magnetic fields. We clarify that a well-defined metallic surface state exists not only on chemically etched samples that were previously reported, but also on as-cleaved ones.

The TDHF equation is explicitly linearized with respect to variation of single-particle wave functions. The time evolution of transition densities are calculated for giant dipole resonances. The time-dependent densities of protons and neutrons suggest that the dynamics of giant dipole resonance in neutron-rich nuclei are significantly different from that in stable nuclei with N=Z.

It isshown thatthe PID regulation quality strongly depends on the heating time lag between the area of heat generation and the area of the temperature control. Tooling temperature rate maps arestudied to revealpotential areas forhighlyefficientPID control.The convergence of the model and experiment indicatesthat even with non-optimal initial PIDcoefficients, it is possible to reduce the temperature regulation inaccuracy to less than 4K by positioning the temperature control location in highlyresponsiveareas revealed by the finite-element calculationsof the temperature spatial distribution.
Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons in magnets with predominant ferromagnetic interaction

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We discuss Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons (BEC) in magnets with predominant ferromagnetic (FM) interaction in magnetic field $H$ near saturation ($H_c$). Because $H_c$ is independent of FM couplings, magnetic materials of this type can have small $H_c$ that makes them promising candidates for experimental investigation of BEC. Ferromagnets with easy-plane anisotropy and antiferromagnets (AFs) containing weakly coupled FM planes or chains are discussed in detail. We observe small effective interaction between magnons near the QCP in such magnets, in contrast to AFs with strong AF coupling previously discussed. In particular, this smallness allows us to find crossovers in the critical temperature $T_c(H)\propto (H_c-H)^{1/ϕ}$ from $ϕ=3/2$ to $ϕ=1$ in quasi-1D magnets, and from $ϕ=3/2$ to $ϕ\approx1$ ($T_c\ln T_c\propto H_c-H$) in quasi-2D ones.
description: 9 pages, 4 figure. The paper has been rewritten considerably. In particular, discussion of crossovers in the critical temperature in quasi-low-dimensional magnets is added
Simulation of time-dependent resonant inelastic X-ray scattering using non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field theory

description: We develop a framework to evaluate the time-dependent resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) signal with the use of non-equilibrium dynamical mean field theory simulations. The approach is based on the solution of a time-dependent impurity model which explicitly incorporates the probe pulse. It avoids the need to compute four-point correlation functions, and can in principle be combined with different impurity solvers. This opens a path to study time-resolved RIXS processes in multi-orbital systems. The approach is exemplified with a study of the RIXS signal of a melting Mott antiferromagnet.

description: Sintering is a key step in the processing of high performance ceramics. Both the density and the grain size play a crucial role on the ceramic sintering kinetics and the final material properties. The master sintering curve (MSC) is a well-known tool for exploring sintering models kinetics. However, the conventional MSC theory assumes a unique sintering trajectory, while our study on MgAl2O4 spinel shows dissimilar growth response. Park's MSC theory has been applied and compared with the conventional MSC approach for obtaining the activation energy with and without dissimilar grain growth trajectories.

description: We revisit a problem of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya antisymmetric exchange coupling for a single bond in cuprates specifying the local spin-orbital contributions to Dzyaloshinsky vector focusing on the oxygen term. The Dzyaloshinsky vector and respective weak ferromagnetic moment is shown to be a superposition of comparable and, sometimes, competing local Cu and O contributions. The intermediate oxygen $^{17}$O Knight shift is shown to be an effective tool to inspect the effects of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling in an external magnetic field. We predict the effect of $strong$ oxygen weak antiferromagnetism in edge-shared CuO$_2$ chains due to uncompensated oxygen Dzyaloshinsky vectors. Finally, we revisit the effects of symmetric spin anisotropy, in particular, those directly induced by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling.

description: Borehole seismic data is obtained by receivers located in a well, with sources located on the surface or another well. Using microlocal analysis, we study possible approximate reconstruction via linearized, filtered backprojection of an isotropic sound speed in the subsurface for three types of data sets. The sources may form a dense array on the surface, or be located along a line on the surface (walkaway geometry) or in another borehole (crosswell). We show that for the dense array, reconstruction is feasible, with no artifacts in the absence of caustics in the background ray geometry, and mild artifacts in the presence of fold caustics in a sense that we define. In contrast, the walkaway and crosswell data sets both give rise to strong, nonremovable artifacts.

description: Wind evolution describes how the turbulent eddies are evolving while moving with the mean wind speed. This phenomenon is commonly quantified with a longitudinal coherence model. Modelling the wind evolution can deepen our understanding of the characteristics of turbulence and benefit many research areas in wind energy, e.g. wind field simulation, lidar-assisted wind turbine control, etc. This work presents first results of exploring the possibility to develop a parameterization model for wind evolution model based on lidar measurement. The wind evolution model used in the work is the coherence model with two coefficients suggested by Eric Simley. The idea is to build a regression model to predict the two coefficients of the wind evolution model using wind statistics, environmental conditions, and the relative position of the measurement points as inputs. The preliminary results have confirmed that Gaussian process regression is the most optimal regression model. Up to 100 m measurement distance, one of the coefficients can be predicted very satisfactorily, whereas the prediction of the other still needs improvement.

description: Evolution gave rise to creatures that are arguably more sophisticated than the greatest human-designed systems. This feat has inspired computer scientists since the advent of computing and led to optimization tools that can evolve complex neural networks for machines -- an approach known as "neuroevolution". After a few successes in designing evolvable representations for high-dimensional artifacts, the field has been recently revitalized by going beyond optimization: to many, the wonder of evolution is less in the perfect optimization of each species than in the creativity of such a simple iterative process, that is, in the diversity of species. This modern view of artificial evolution is moving the field away from microevolution, following a fitness gradient in a niche, to macroevolution, filling many niches with highly different species. It already opened promising applications, like evolving gait repertoires, video game levels for different tastes, and diverse designs for aerodynamic bikes.

Here we collected the hindgut samples and performed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to investigate the microbial composition and functional potentials of 12 stranded cetaceans. Based on the ZOTUs profiles, though the phyla Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were dominated in all the hindgut samples, we observed the different cetacean species exhibited unique microbial profiles, and the principal coordinate analysis and alpha-diversity analysis significantly showed separation of the gut microbiota communities between whales and dolphins.

description: We discuss four general features of force-free evolution: (1) The spatial spread of any packet changes with time in a very simple way. (2) Over sufficiently short periods of time (whose duration is related to the spread in momentum of the packet) the probability distribution moves but there is little change in shape. (3) After a sufficiently long period (related to the initial spatial spread) the packet settles into a simple form simply related to the momentum distribution in the packet. In this asymptotic regime, the shape of the probability distribution no longer changes except for its scale, which increases linearly with the time. (4) There is an infinite denumerable set of simple wave packets (the Hermite-Gauss packets) that do not change shape as they evolve.

title:  Reproductive Biology of Anadromous Rainbow Smelt, Osmerus mordax, in the Ipswich Bay Area, Massachusetts
Creators: name: Sutter III, Frederick C.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1980

description: The reproductive biology of anadromous rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax, was investigated in the Parker River and Essex Bay systems from 1977 through 1979. Variations in growth and seasonal energy content of body tissue of young-of-the-year (YOY) anadromous smelt were examined to investigate their relationships to spawning of precocious (age I) fish. By late fall of their first year, YOY that will spawn precociously in the spring have developing gonads, are longer in total length and have a higher energy content (kcals/g) of body tissue than non-precocious fish. The number of fish spawning at age I increased during the spawning season, with male precocious spawners consistently outnumbering female precocious fish.

Several aspects of the reproductive ecology of rainbow smelt were examined during the 1979 spawning season. Results from two field experiments indicated that egg survival was positively correlated with water velocity (up to 60 - 80 cm/s). Smelt spawned many more eggs (by a factor of 12 - 15) on aquatic vegetation (Podostemum ceratophyllum abrotanoides) than on two smooth-surfaced substrates (ceramic tile and gravel/ rubble). Survival to hatching on the vegetation was approximately 10% compared to a 1% rate on the other surfaces. In addition, diameter of water-hardened, unfertilized eggs was positively correlated with female total length and prolarval size at hatching. These reproductive characteristics are discussed relative to the life history strategy of anadromous rainbow smelt in the Parker River-Plum Island Sound system

description: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a powerful and versatile sensing method with a detection limit down to the single molecule level. In this article, we demonstrate how topology optimization (TopOpt) can be used for designing surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates adhering to realistic fabrication constraints. As an example, we experimentally demonstrated a SERS enhancement factor of 5*10e4 for the 604 cm-1 Raman line of rhodamine 6G using metal nanostructures with a critical dimension of 20 nm. We then show that, by relaxing the fabrication constraints, TopOpt may be used to design SERS substrates with orders of magnitude larger enhancement factor. The results validate topology optimization as an effective method for engineering nanostructures with optimal performance and fabrication tolerance.

description: We discuss Petrov type D Einstein-Maxwell fields in which both double null eigenvectors of the Weyl tensor are non-aligned with the eigenvectors of a non-null electromagnetic field and are assumed to be geodesic, shear-free, diverging and non-twisting. We obtain the general solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations under the extra condition that the complex null vectors of the Weyl canonical tetrad are hypersurface orthogonal. The corresponding space-times are all conformally related to a Killing-Yano space and are described by a 5-parameter family of metrics, admitting two commuting Killing vectors and having the C-metric as a possible vacuum limit.

description: The hand grip strength is an objective indicator of the hands functional ability or even the entire body. A wide range of differences has been observed in previous studies regarding hand grip strength between the two hands. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of handedness, age and sex, in the differences of hand grip strength between the two hands. The sample constituted of 200 men and women, from which the 100 had powerful right hand dominance and the other 100 had powerful left hand dominance, age 7-75 years. It was found that there exists an interaction between handedness, sex and age in the difference of hand grip strength between the two hands, F 180 = 3,250 and p=0,013. The handedness had important effect on the difference of hand grip strength between the two hands, F 198 = 9,421, p = 0,002. The men had larger differences in the hand grip strength between the two hands, compared to the women, F198 = 4,758, p=0,030. Also the age had important effect on the difference of hand grip strength between the two hands, F195 = 9,350, p<0, 001. The results showed that the individuals with powerful handedness present important differences in the maximum hand grip strength between the two hands and the range of differences is affected by handedness, sex and age, which should be taken under serious consideration in the planning of similar studies. Key Words: Handedness, Functional cerebral asymmetry, Hand grip strength.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία εξετάζονται θεωρητικά, τα αποτελέσματα της επίδρασης ενός ομογενούς ηλεκτρικού πεδίου στα μήκη των δεσμών και την ηλεκτρονιακή κατανομή μίας ομάδας απλών πολυατομικών μοριακών συστημάτων. Η ηλεκτρονιακή κατανομή εκφράζεται τόσο μέσω των ηλεκτροστατικών φορτίων των ατόμων όσο και μέσω των δομών συντονισμού των χημικών δεσμών, όπως αυτές περιγράφονται στη θεωρία Δεσμού Σθένους του Pauling. Από τη συσχέτιση των αποτελεσμάτων εξάγεται ένα απλό μοντέλο το οποίο μπορεί να προβλέψει την επίδραση ενός ηλεκτρικού πεδίου στο μήκος και τα βάρη των δομών συντονισμού ενός δεσμού. Επίσης προχωρούμε στη μελέτη της επίδρασης του ηλεκτρικού πεδίου στο υπερσυζυγιακό φαινόμενο, όπως αυτό εκδηλώνεται στα υπό εξέταση μόρια. Τα αποτελέσματα φανερώνουν ότι τόσο η ένταση όσο και η κατεύθυνση του πεδίου μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν στον έλεγχο του απεντοπισμού των ηλεκτρονίων από μία περιοχή ενός μορίου σε μία άλλη. Τέλος, κινούμενοι στο πλαίσιο του νέου κλάδου της Μοριακής Ηλεκτρονικής, προτείνουμε, με βάση τα συμπεράσματά μας σχετικά με την επίδραση του πεδίου στο υπερσυζυγιακό φαινόμενο, δύο μοριακά συστήματα τα οποία, υπό την επίδραση ενός ηλεκτρικού πεδίου, δύναται να λειτουργήσουν ως μοριακές λογικές πύλες.
description: In the present work we examine theoretically the effects of a uniform static electric field on the bond lengths and the electronic distribution of a group of simple polyatomic molecular systems. The electronic distribution is expressed by means of the electrostatic charges of the atoms and the resonance structures of the chemical bonds, as they are described in the Valence Bond theory of Pauling. Based on the results, a simple model can be given predicting the impact of an electric field on the length and the weights of the resonance structures of a chemical bond. We also pursue in the investigation of the effects of an applied electric field on the hyperconjugation phenomenon, as it emerges in the molecules studied here. It is revealed that both the strength and the direction of the applied field can be used in the control of the electronic delocalization from one region of a molecule to another. Finally, in the framework of Molecular Electronics and according to our results concerning the impact of the electric field on the hyperconjugation, we suggest two molecular systems which, under the influence of an external electric field, may operate as molecular logic gates.

description: We study baryon number violating nucleon decays induced by unparticle interactions with the standard model particles. We find that the lowest dimension operators which cause nucleon decays can arise at dimension 6 + (d_s-3/2) with the unparticles being a spinor of dimension d_s=d_\U +1/2. For scalar and vector unparticles of dimension d_\U, the lowest order operatoers arise at 6+d_\U and 7+d_\U dimensions,respectively. Comparing the spinor unparticle induced n \to O^s_\U and experimental bound on invisible decay of a neutron from KamLAND, we find that the scale for unparticle physics is required to be larger than 10^{10} GeV for d_\U < 2 if the couplings are set to be of order one. For scalar and vector unparticles, the dominant baryon number violating decay modes are n\to \bar ν+ O_\U (O^μ_\U) and p \to e^+ + O_\U (O^μ_\U). The same experimental bound puts the scales for scalar and vector unparticle to be larger than 10^{7} and 10^{5} GeV for d_\U <2 with couplings set to be of order one. Data on, p \to e^+ invisible, puts similar constraints on unparticle interactions.

Integration of complex shapes and natural patterns

description: The process of generating an image for a computer graphics object is traditionally broken down into three steps: modelling of the shape or geometric attributes (such as height, width, and length), modelling of the visual attributes (how the object is going to look), and an integration step that connects the first two (a visual attribute is defined for every point on the surface of the object). The separation of modelling the shape from modelling the visual attributes makes the whole process highly flexible and powerful; from a conceptual point of view, the process is easier to handle. While generally good for many classes of objects, this separation is prone to problems when the geometry of the object is complex. For example, the mapping of visual characteristics to every point of such complex surfaces is non-trivial. Furthermore, this separation assumes that these two steps are independent of each other, but for some objects, there is an interaction between the shape modelling and visual modelling that plays a significant role on the final image. Typical examples are patterned animals such as giraffes and leopards, where the pattern visible on the fur of an adult animal is the result of a process that took place while the animal was an embryo in the womb. In this case, modelling the interplay between the embryo growth process and the pattern formation process is as important as modelling the individual processes themselves. In this thesis we introduce a novel solution for integrating shape and visual modelling. This solution defines the visual attributes directly on the surface of the object as the object changes shape, for example, due to growth. We present results of applying this solution to a giraffe model. This thesis makes three contributions: (1) a new model of mammalian pattern formation called Clonal Mosaic, suitable for computer graphics purposes and with strong biological plausibility. The model is based on cell division and cell-to-cell interactions, and it can generate repeating spotted and striped patterns occurring in several species of mammals, especially the big cats and giraffes; (2) a technique to modify the shape of an object based, for example, on a small set of input measurements. The technique consists of defining local coordinate systems (cylinders) around the growing parts of the body, each one being transformed according to the relevant growth data while maintaining their relationship with the adjoining parts and the continuity of the surface. The local coordinates also permit ordinary animation mainly as relative rotation such as in articulated objects; and, (3) the integration of the modelling of Clonal Mosaic patterns with the shape modification technique. Finally, this thesis advances the notion of integration of independent tools as an important development in the field of computer graphics. Individual tools have been reaching exceptional levels of performance and therefore we need efficient ways to integrate them smoothly.

description: The occurrence of the extensively used herbicide diuron in the environment poses a severe threat to the ecosystem and human health. Four different ligninolytic fungi were studied as biodegradation candidates for the removal of diuron. Among them, T. versicolor was the most effective species, degrading rapidly not only diuron (83%) but also the major metabolite 3,4-dichloroaniline (100%), after 7-day incubation. During diuron degradation, five transformation products (TPs) were found to be formed and the structures for three of them are tentatively proposed. According to the identified TPs, a hydroxylated intermediate 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-hydroxymethyl-1-methylurea (DCPHMU) was further metabolized into the N-dealkylated compounds 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea (DCPMU) and 3,4-dichlorophenylurea (DCPU). The discovery of DCPHMU suggests a relevant role of hydroxylation for subsequent N-demethylation, helping to better understand the main reaction mechanisms of diuron detoxification. Experiments also evidenced that degradation reactions may occur intracellularly and be catalyzed by the cytochrome P450 system. A response surface method, established by central composite design, assisted in evaluating the effect of operational variables in a trickle-bed bioreactor immobilized with T. versicolor on diuron removal. The best performance was obtained at low recycling ratios and influent flow rates. Furthermore, results indicate that the contact time between the contaminant and immobilized fungi plays a crucial role in diuron removal. This study represents a pioneering step forward amid techniques for bioremediation of pesticides-contaminated waters using fungal reactors at a real scale.
