description: We prove that the class of the classifying stack $B PGL_n$ is the multiplicative inverse of the class of the projective linear group $PGL_n$ in the Grothendieck ring of stacks for $n = 2$ and $n = 3$ under mild conditions on the base field $k$. In particular, although it is known that the multiplicativity relation $\{T\} = \{S\}\cdot\{PGL_n\}$ does not hold for all $PGL_n$-torsors $T \to S$, it holds for the universal $PGL_n$-torsors for said $n$.

description: The entanglement between momentum modes of a quantum field theory at different scales is not as well studied as its counterpart in real space, despite the natural connection with the Wilsonian idea of integrating out the high-momentum degrees of freedom. Here, we push such connection further by developing a novel method to calculate the Rényi and entanglement entropies between slow and fast modes, which is based on the Wilsonian effective action at a given scale. This procedure is applied to the perturbative regime of some scalar theories, comparing the lowest-order results with those from the literature and interpreting them in terms of Feynman diagrams. This method is easily generalized to higher-order or nonperturbative calculations. It has the advantage of avoiding matrix diagonalizations of other techniques.

description: Dass die provenzalische Renaissance im 19. Jahrhundert in bedeutender Weise nach Deutschland ausgestrahlt hat, ist bis heute unbeachtet geblieben. Aus dem Netzwerk, das sich hier zur Unterstützung des neuprovenzalischen Dichters Frédéric Mistral sowie des um ihn entstandenen Zirkels Felibrige gebildet hatte, ging die bis heute erfolgreichste deutsche Mirèio-Übersetzung von August Bertuch (Erstauflage 1893) hervor. Doch diese in sechs Auflagen vorliegende deutsche Fassung von Mirèio war bei weitem nicht die einzige. Beinahe vollständig in Vergessenheit geraten sind die erste deutsche Übersetzung Mirèio durch Betty Dorieux-Brotbeck (1880) sowie die 1906 erschienene Übersetzung durch Franziska Steinitz. Während jeder der drei Texte durch eine individuelle Übersetzungshaltung geprägt ist, spiegelt sich in ihnen ebenfalls das Spannungsverhältnis von Übersetzung und Edition, denn alle Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer traten auch als Herausgeberinnen und Herausgeber ihrer Texte in Erscheinung. Unter Zuhilfenahme der Methodik der ,Descriptive Translation Studies' geht die Arbeit der Frage nach, wie übersetzerisches und editorisches Handeln in den vorliegenden Fällen auf die deutschen Fassungen von Mirèio eingewirkt und so auch das Bild der provenzalischen Renaissance in Deutschland geprägt haben. Jenseits der Textanalyse, die den Umgang der Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer mit dem ‚doppelten Ausgangstext‘, den die Werke Mistrals ausnahmslos mit sich bringen, beleuchtet, werden ebenso Vermarktungsstrategien einzelner Übersetzungen (v. a. die rhapsodischen Vorträge August Bertuchs) sowie ihre Aufnahme durch die zeitgenössische Kritik besprochen.

description: Learning the evolution of real-time strategy (RTS) game is a challenging problem in artificial intelligent (AI) system. In this paper, we present a novel Hebbian learning method to extract the global feature of point sets in StarCraft II game units, and its application to predict the movement of the points. Our model includes encoder, LSTM, and decoder, and we train the encoder with the unsupervised learning method. We introduce the concept of neuron activity aware learning combined with k-Winner-Takes-All. The optimal value of neuron activity is mathematically derived, and experiments support the effectiveness of the concept over the downstream task. Our Hebbian learning rule benefits the prediction with lower loss compared to self-supervised learning. Also, our model significantly saves the computational cost such as activations and FLOPs compared to a frame-based approach.

description: In [Berta et al., J. Math. Phys. 56, 022205 (2015)], we recently proposed Renyi generalizations of the conditional quantum mutual information of a tripartite state on $ABC$ (with $C$ being the conditioning system), which were shown to satisfy some properties that hold for the original quantity, such as non-negativity, duality, and monotonicity with respect to local operations on the system $B$ (with it being left open to show that the Renyi quantity is monotone with respect to local operations on system $A$). Here we define a Renyi squashed entanglement and a Renyi quantum discord based on a Renyi conditional quantum mutual information and investigate these quantities in detail. Taking as a conjecture that the Renyi conditional quantum mutual information is monotone with respect to local operations on both systems $A$ and $B$, we prove that the Renyi squashed entanglement and the Renyi quantum discord satisfy many of the properties of the respective original von Neumann entropy based quantities. In our prior work [Berta et al., Phys. Rev. A 91, 022333 (2015)], we also detailed a procedure to obtain Renyi generalizations of any quantum information measure that is equal to a linear combination of von Neumann entropies with coefficients chosen from the set $\{-1,0,1\}$. Here, we extend this procedure to include differences of relative entropies. Using the extended procedure and a conjectured monotonicity of the Renyi generalizations in the Renyi parameter, we discuss potential remainder terms for well known inequalities such as monotonicity of the relative entropy, joint convexity of the relative entropy, and the Holevo bound.

description: In this paper, we develop four spiking neural network (SNN) models for two static American Sign Language (ASL) hand gesture classification tasks, i.e., the ASL Alphabet and ASL Digits. The SNN models are deployed on Intel's neuromorphic platform, Loihi, and then compared against equivalent deep neural network (DNN) models deployed on an edge computing device, the Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2). We perform a comprehensive comparison between the two systems in terms of accuracy, latency, power consumption, and energy. The best DNN model achieves an accuracy of 99.93% on the ASL Alphabet dataset, whereas the best performing SNN model has an accuracy of 99.30%. For the ASL-Digits dataset, the best DNN model achieves an accuracy of 99.76% accuracy while the SNN achieves 99.03%. Moreover, our obtained experimental results show that the Loihi neuromorphic hardware implementations achieve up to 20.64x and 4.10x reduction in power consumption and energy, respectively, when compared to NCS2.

description: Amorphous topological states, which are independent of the specific spatial distribution of microscopic constructions, have gained much attention. Recently, higher-order topological insulators, which are a new class of topological phases of matter, have been proposed in amorphous systems. Here, we propose a density-driven higher-order topological phase transition in a two-dimensional amorphous system. We demonstrate that the amorphous system hosts a topological trivial phase at low density. With an increase in the density of lattice sites, the topological trivial phase converts to a higher-order topological phase characterized by a quantized quadrupole moment and the existence of topological corner states. Furthermore, we confirm that the density-driven higher-order topological phase transition is size dependent. In addition, our results should be general and equally applicable to three-dimensional amorphous systems. Our findings may greatly enrich the study of higher-order topological states in amorphous systems.

description: Excerpt from the report Introduction: Public water and sewage systems have become an integral part of community life. These systems have enabled communities to assure an adequate supply of water for domestic and industrial use and an efficient means of collecting waste materials. Because of the importance of water and sewage systems in maintaining community health. Federal programs have been initiated to assist communities in obtaining adequate facilities. Heretofore, very little information has been available on the extent of communities lacking public facilities. This study was undertaken to determine the number, location, and size of the communities without public water systems and without public sewage facilities and the degree to which Federal assistance programs have helped in establishing these facilities.

description: Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Currently, the only definitive treatment of preeclampsia is delivery of the placenta, which is central to the pathogenesis of the disease. Transcriptional profiling of human placenta from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia has been extensively performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The decisions to investigate DEGs experimentally are biased by many factors, causing many DEGs to remain uninvestigated. A set of DEGs which are associated with a disease experimentally, but which have no known association to the disease in the literature are known as the ignorome. Preeclampsia has an extensive body of scientific literature, a large pool of DEG data, and only one definitive treatment. Tools facilitating knowledge-based analyses, which are capable of combining disparate data from many sources in order to suggest underlying mechanisms of action, may be a valuable resource to support discovery and improve our understanding of this disease. In this work we demonstrate how a biomedical knowledge graph (KG) can be used to identify novel preeclampsia molecular mechanisms. Existing open source biomedical resources and publicly available high-throughput transcriptional profiling data were used to identify and annotate the function of currently uninvestigated preeclampsia-associated DEGs. Experimentally investigated genes associated with preeclampsia were identified from PubMed abstracts using text-mining methodologies. The relative complement of the text-mined- and meta-analysis-derived lists were identified as the uninvestigated preeclampsia-associated DEGs (n=445), i.e., the preeclampsia ignorome. Using the KG to investigate relevant DEGs revealed 53 novel clinically relevant and biologically actionable mechanistic associations.

description: The introduction of electronic personal health records (EHR) enables nationwide information exchange and curation among different health care systems. However, the current EHR systems do not provide transparent means for diagnosis support, medical research or can utilize the omnipresent data produced by the personal medical devices. Besides, the EHR systems are centrally orchestrated, which could potentially lead to a single point of failure. Therefore, in this article, we explore novel approaches for decentralizing machine learning over distributed ledgers to create intelligent EHR systems that can utilize information from personal medical devices for improved knowledge extraction. Consequently, we proposed and evaluated a conceptual EHR to enable anonymous predictive analysis across multiple medical institutions. The evaluation results indicate that the decentralized EHR can be deployed over the computing continuum with reduced machine learning time of up to 60% and consensus latency of below 8 seconds.

description: Terminal devices (TDs) connect to networks through access points (APs) integrated into the edge server. This provides a prerequisite for TDs to upload tasks to cloud data centers or offload them to edge servers for execution. In this process, signal coverage, data transmission, and task execution consume energy, and the energy consumption of signal coverage increases sharply as the radius increases. Lower power leads to less energy consumption in a given time segment. Thus, power control for APs is essential for reducing energy consumption. Our objective is to determine the power assignment for each AP with same capacity constraints such that all TDs are covered, and the total power is minimized. We define this problem as a \emph{minimum power capacitated cover } (MPCC) problem and present a \emph{minimum local ratio} (MLR) power control approach for this problem to obtain accurate results in polynomial time. Power assignments are chosen in a sequence of rounds. In each round, we choose the power assignment that minimizes the ratio of its power to the number of currently uncovered TDs it contains. In the event of a tie, we pick an arbitrary power assignment that achieves the minimum ratio. We continue choosing power assignments until all TDs are covered. Finally, various experiments verify that this method can outperform another greedy-based way.

description: The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory provides information about the longitudinal development of the muonic component of extensive air showers. Using the timing information from the flash analog-to-digital converter traces of surface detectors far from the shower core, it is possible to reconstruct a muon production depth distribution. We characterize the goodness of this reconstruction for zenith angles around 60 deg. and different energies of the primary particle. From these distributions we define X(mu)max as the depth along the shower axis where the production of muons reaches maximum. We explore the potentiality of X(mu)max as a useful observable to infer the mass composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. Likewise, we assess its ability to constrain hadronic interaction models.

description: Excerpts from the report Highlights: Rural housing is less adequate than urban housing primarily because a larger percentage of rural homes lack inside plumbing. Of the 17.6 million occupied and unoccupied rural housing units in 1960, 3.7 million did not have water piped inside. Of the 40.8 million urban housing units, only 0.4 million lacked this convenience. In 1960, there were 8.5 million occupied substandard units in the United States; 4.8 million were located in rural areas. Of the substandard rural units, 2.0 million lacked inside plumbing, 1.7 million lacked some plumbing facilities, and 1.1 million were dilapidated. Nearly two-thirds of the occupants of substandard housing in rural areas in 1960 had family incomes of less than $3,000 a year.

description: We exploit the properties of chain mapping transformations of bosonic environments to identify a finite collection of modes able to capture the characteristic features, or fingerprint, of the environment. Moreover we show that the countable infinity of residual bath modes can be replaced by a universal Markovian closure, namely a small collection of damped modes undergoing a Lindblad-type dynamics whose parametrization is independent of the spectral density under consideration. We show that the Markovian closure provides a quadratic speed-up with respect to standard chain mapping techniques and makes the memory requirement independent of the simulation time, while preserving all the information on the fingerprint modes. We illustrate the application of the Markovian closure to the computation of linear spectra but also to non-linear spectral response, a relevant experimentally accessible many body coherence witness for which efficient numerically exact calculations in realistic environments are currently lacking.

description: Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts begannen amerikanische Firmen in der Chemie- und Elektroindustrie Forschungslabore zu etablieren, die später weltberühmt wurden. Während historische Studien typischerweise einzelne Industrielabore untersucht haben, beleuchtet der Vortrag das gesamte Organisationsfeld der amerikanischen Industrieforschung im Zeitraum 1870-1930. Es wird gezeigt, wie Forschung in Industrieunternehmen durch gesellschaftlich geteilte Vorstellungen von Wissenschaft legitimiert werden musste. Hierzu wird mithilfe einer umfassenden Diskursanalyse der kulturelle Kontext analysiert, in dem Industrielabore entstehen und sich verbreiten konnten.
description: With the beginning of the twentieth century, American corporations in the chemical and electrical industries began establishing industrial research laboratories. Some of those – such as DuPont's Experimental Station or General Electric's Research Laboratory – went on to become world-famous, not only for their scientific and technological breakthroughs, but also for the new union of science and industry they represented. But new ideas never appear out of the blue and spread on their own merit. Instead, the laboratory's diffusion takes place in a cultural context that goes beyond corporate capital and technological change, a context that spans the societal transformations of the Gilded Age up to the end of WWI. By using discourse analysis as a method to comprehensively capture the organizational field of the early American R&D laboratories from 1870 to 1930, the book uncovers the collective meanings associated with the industrial laboratory. Meanings such as what (and where) a laboratory is supposed to be, who the scientist is, and what it means to practice science provided cultural resources that made the transfer of the laboratory from academic science into an industrial setting possible by rendering such meanings understandable and operable to big business and organizational entrepreneurs pushing for change and fighting for hegemony in a rapidly evolving market.

description: Exposures of test samples of nuclear track emulsion were analyzed. Angular and energy correlations of products originating from the thermal-neutron-induced reaction n$_{th} + ^{10}$B $\rightarrow ^{7}$Li $+ (γ) + α$ were studied in nuclear tack emulsions enriched in boron. Nuclear track emulsions were also irradiated with $^{86}$Kr$^{+17}$ and $^{132}$Xe$^{+26}$ of energy about 1.2 MeV per nucleon. Measurements of ranges of heavy ions in nuclear track emulsions made it possible to determine their energies on the basis of the SRIM model. The formation of high-multiplicity nuclear stars was observed upon irradiating nuclear track emulsions with ultrarelativistic muons. Kinematical features studied in this exposure of nuclear track emulsions for events of the muon-induced splitting of carbon nuclei to three alpha particles are indicative of the nuclear-diffraction interaction mechanism.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: Approximately 94 percent of all farmers in the United States used pesticides in 1964. For pesticide materials alone, farmers spent an estimated $479 million--$424 million for crops, $31 million for livestock, $17 million for treatment of land not in crop production, and $7 million for rodent control. This is a revision of the previously reported total of $514 million and is based on a more detailed expansion of the sample data. In 1964, $114 million was spent for pesticides used on cotton, more than for any other crop. Over 90 percent of the total acreages in apples, other deciduous fruits, and tobacco were treated. Among all crops, costs for pesticide materials ranged from an average of 56 cents an acre for wheat to $53.40 an acre for apples. Almost 60 percent of the acreage in corn--the most widely grown crop in the United States--was treated at an average cost of $1.87 an acre. Fruits and vegetables were more likely to be treated than were field crops, the survey showed.

description: We continue our study of contact structures on manifolds of dimension at least five using complex surgery theory. We show that in each dimension 2q+1 > 3 there are 'maximal' almost contact manifolds to which there is a Stein cobordism from any other (2q+1)-dimensional contact manifold. We show that the product M x S^2 admits a weakly fillable contact structure provided M admits a weak symplectic filling. We also study the connection between Stein fillability and connected sums: we give examples of almost contact manifolds for which the connected sum is Stein fillable, while the components are not. Concerning obstructions to Stein fillings, we show that the (8k-1)-dimensional sphere has an almost contact structure which is not Stein fillable once k > 1. As a consequence we deduce that any highly connected almost contact (8k-1)-manifold (with k > 1) admits an almost contact structure which is not Stein fillable. The proofs rely on a new number-theoretic result about Bernoulli numbers.

We achieve this by introducing $56$ parameterized families of elliptic curves $\mathcal{C}_{n,i}(t,d)$ defined over $K(t,d)$, which have the following two properties for a fixed $n$: the elliptic curves $\mathcal{C}_{n,i}(t,d)$ are isogenous over $K(t,d)$, and there are integers $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$ such that the $j$-invariants of $\mathcal{C}_{n,k_{1}}(t,d)$ and $\mathcal{C}_{n,k_{2}}(t,d)$ are given by the Fricke parameterizations. As a consequence, we show that if $E$ is an elliptic curve over a number field $K$ with isogeny class degree divisible by $n\in\left\{4,6,9\right\} $, then there is a quadratic twist of $E$ that is semistable at all primes $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$ such that $\mathfrak{p}\nmid n$.

description: In this Research, the universal issues about energy management for renewable resources,Solar wind hybrid power system is discussed. This system will improve energy efficiency with LEDs asthe light source and additionally the wind turbine is placed with solar. The LEDs will save energy as wellas will provide high lamination efficiency and high useful life to the proposed system. Also, the positionof the turbine plays as major role for effective power production. By placing turbine in the vertical plane,due to the motion of vehicle air pressure is developed on the blades of the turbine. The pressure isdeveloped from the both directions keeps turbine in continuous motion of all the vehicles such as Trucks,Buses etc., Due to this, an uninterrupted power generation by solar at day time and whenever vehiclescross the path both at day and night time the turbine rotates and energy is generated. This will reduce theelectricity bill and the rate of pollution to certain level.

description: In this paper, we introduce a family of indecomposable finite-dimensional graded modules for the twisted current algebras. These modules are indexed by an $|R^+|$-tuple of partitions $\bxi=(ξ^α)_{α\in R^+}$ satisfying a natural compatibility condition. We give three equivalent presentations of these modules and show that for a particular choice of $\bxi$ these modules become isomorphic to Demazure modules in various levels for the twisted affine algebras. As a consequence we see that the defining relations of twisted Demazure modules can be greatly simplified. Furthermore, we investigate the notion of fusion products for twisted modules, first defined in \cite{FL99} for untwisted modules, and use the simplified presentation to prove a fusion product decomposition of twisted Demazure modules. As a consequence we prove that twisted Demazure modules can be obtained by taking the associated graded modules of (untwisted) Demazure modules for simply-laced affine algebras. Furthermore we give a semi-infinite fusion product construction for the irreducible representations of twisted affine algebras. Finally, we prove that the twisted $Q$-sytem defined in \cite{HKOTT02} extends to a non-canonical short exact sequence of fusion products of twisted Demazure modules.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: Farmers use custom pesticide services extensively. In the 48 contiguous States, they spent about $173 million for custom pesticide services, including the cost of application and materials, in 1964. This amounted to an average of about $55 for each farmer. Nearly $172 million was spent to control crop pests and slightly less than $2 million to control livestock pests. The cost of custom-applied pesticide materials used on crops and livestock was $115 million or one-fourth of all pesticides used by farmers in 1964. Cotton was the major crop on which custom pesticide services were used. Growers spent $65 million for custom services on cotton, an average of $857 for each farm using such services. Forty-three percent of the farmers using pesticides on cotton used some custom services. The crop categories with the highest average cost per farm for custom pesticide applications and materials were certain fruits and nuts ($1,661) and potatoes ($1,490).
A finer reduction of constraint problems to digraphs

description: It is well known that the constraint satisfaction problem over a general relational structure A is polynomial time equivalent to the constraint problem over some associated digraph. We present a variant of this construction and show that the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem is logspace equivalent to that over A. Moreover, we show that almost all of the commonly encountered polymorphism properties are held equivalently on the A and the constructed digraph. As a consequence, the Algebraic CSP dichotomy conjecture as well as the conjectures characterizing CSPs solvable in logspace and in nondeterministic logspace are equivalent to their restriction to digraphs.

Toroidal Scattering and Nonreciprocal Transport by Magnetic Impurities

description: We propose the second-order response of metals in an electric field induced by magnetic impurities which locally break inversion symmetry. The impurities with toroidal moments scatter conduction electrons in the presence of the spin-orbit coupling, leading to nonreciprocal response. This mechanism is ubiquitous when a magnetic impurity is placed off an inversion center such as an interstitial site and a surface of a two-dimensional system.

GLOBE: Gaussian-Based Localization with Orthographic Bird's-Eye-View Registration
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2025

description: Gaussian Splatting (GS)  was originally designed for realistic rendering of novel views, but its anisotropic 3D Gaussian representation makes it particularly promising for visual localization and SLAM. Recent work as GaussReg  has explored loop closure detection via Gaussian registration, improving map consistency and accuracy. However, achieving reliable loop closures remains an open problem, especially in complex environments.
In this paper, we address this issue by generating orthographic bird’s-eye views (BEVs) of optimized Gaussian models. Unlike 3D registration methods, which become inefficient as the number of Gaussians grows, our approach leverages 2D renders  thus considerably reducing the registration complexity. Furthermore,  orthographic views are free from perspective deformations, so that descriptor invariance to 2D rotation is theoretically sufficient to match points of interest between these views.
Experiments on two public indoor datasets demonstrate that our method achieves higher precision than MapClosure , a previous BEV-based approach, while maintaining comparable speed and performance to GaussReg, a state-of-the-art 3D GS registration method. Code  will  be  made publicly available.

description: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) rely heavily on large-scale training data for training high-quality image generation models. With limited training data, the GAN discriminator often suffers from severe overfitting which directly leads to degraded generation especially in generation diversity. Inspired by the recent advances in knowledge distillation (KD), we propose KD-DLGAN, a knowledge-distillation based generation framework that introduces pre-trained vision-language models for training effective data-limited generation models. KD-DLGAN consists of two innovative designs. The first is aggregated generative KD that mitigates the discriminator overfitting by challenging the discriminator with harder learning tasks and distilling more generalizable knowledge from the pre-trained models. The second is correlated generative KD that improves the generation diversity by distilling and preserving the diverse image-text correlation within the pre-trained models. Extensive experiments over multiple benchmarks show that KD-DLGAN achieves superior image generation with limited training data. In addition, KD-DLGAN complements the state-of-the-art with consistent and substantial performance gains.

description: Let $X$ be an algebraic variety and let $S$ be a tropical variety associated to $X$. We study the tropicalization map from the moduli space of stable maps into $X$ to the moduli space of tropical curves in $S$. We prove that it is a continuous map and that its image is compact and polyhedral. Loosely speaking, when we deform algebraic curves in $X$, the associated tropical curves in $S$ deform continuously; moreover, the locus of realizable tropical curves inside the space of all tropical curves is compact and polyhedral. Our main tools are Berkovich spaces, formal models, balancing conditions, vanishing cycles and quantifier elimination for rigid subanalytic sets.

description: In 2012 Gamayun, Iorgov, Lisovyy conjectured an explicit expression for the Painlevé VI $τ$~function in terms of the Liouville conformal blocks with central charge $c=1$. We prove that proposed expression satisfies Painlevé VI $τ$~function bilinear equations (and therefore prove the conjecture). The proof reduces to the proof of bilinear relations on conformal blocks. These relations were studied using the embedding of a direct sum of two Virasoro algebras into a sum of Majorana fermion and Super Virasoro algebra. In the framework of the AGT correspondence the bilinear equations on the conformal blocks can be interpreted in terms of instanton counting on the minimal resolution of $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ (similarly to Nakajima-Yoshioka blow-up equations).
