description: Introduction. Decision-making in high-risk, time-constrained environments is reliant on information processing skills that prioritise relevant over less relevant cues. The utilisation of cues is associated with improvements in performance and is normally domain-specific. However, recent research suggests that the utilisation of cues in one domain is associated with performance in other, unrelated domains. This suggests that there may be an inherent capability differentiating the rate of cue acquisition. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between driving-related cue utilisation and performance on a novel problem-solving task, exploring several potential explanatory variables. Methods. Experiment 1a comprised an exploratory study that was designed to test the relationship between cue utilisation, assessed using EXPERTise 2.0 (driving edition) as an online behavioural assessment of cue utilisation, and performance on a novel problem-solving task (Tower of Hanoi). Explanatory variables included: (1) conscientiousness; (2) deductive reasoning ability; and (3) preference for intuitive or analytical approaches to problem solving. Experiment 1b extended and replicated Experiment 1a to examine the potential role of implicit pattern recognition in explaining the relationship between driving-related cue utilisation and performance on a revised Tower Task. Experiments 1a and 1b were completed online by a total of 176 and 187 undergraduate students, respectively. Results. The results indicated that higher cue utilisation was associated with fewer errors (Experiment 1a), and superior performance (Experiment 1b) in the respective novel problem-solving tasks, but this effect was not related to any of the explanatory variables. Conclusion. The outcomes are consistent with previous research that associates cue utilisation in one domain with performance in another, unrelated domain. However, this effect was not explained by conscientiousness, deductive reasoning, or a preference in approach to problem solving. Implications and future directions are discussed, including consolidating these findings for experts in high-pressure and time-constrained environments.
$μ$-Term Hybrid Inflation and Split Supersymmetry

description: We consider $μ$-term hybrid inflation which, in its minimal format with gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking, leads to split supersymmetry. The MSSM $μ$-term in this framework is larger than the gravitino mass $m_G$, and successful inflation requires $m_G$ (and hence also $|μ|$) $\gtrsim 5 \times 10^7$ GeV, such that the gravitino decays before the LSP neutralino freezes out. Assuming universal scalar masses of the same order as $m_G$, this leads to split supersymmetry. The LSP wino with mass $\simeq$ 2 TeV is a plausible dark matter candidate, the gluino may be accessible at the LHC, and the MSSM parameter $\tan β\simeq 1.7$ in order to be compatible with the measured Higgs boson mass. The tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$, a canonical measure of gravity waves, can be as high as $0.001$.

description: In the purpose of expanding the family of two-dimensional materials, we predict the existence of two-dimensional octa-structure of nitrogen group elements that are composed of squares and octagons in first-principle method based on density functional theory (DFT). From our calculations, electronic structures of all monolayers show that they are semiconductors with indirect (N, P, Bi) and direct (As, Sb) band gaps (0.57-2.61eV). Nano-ribbons of three different unpassivated edges and their band structures are also investigated. Because of the reconstruction on the edges and dangling bonds, there exist ferromagnetic edge states in P, As, Sb nano-ribbons with different edges, and a Dirac point near π is found in the band structure of one specific N nano-ribbon. These structures may be useful in future applications, such as semiconductor devices, spintronics, hydrogen storage and quantum computation.

description: We study the monotonicity properties of solutions in the classic problem of fair cake-cutting --- dividing a heterogeneous resource among agents with different preferences. Resource- and population-monotonicity relate to scenarios where the cake, or the number of participants who divide the cake, changes. It is required that the utility of all participants change in the same direction: either all of them are better-off (if there is more to share or fewer to share among) or all are worse-off (if there is less to share or more to share among). We formally introduce these concepts to the cake-cutting problem and examine whether they are satisfied by various common division rules. We prove that the Nash-optimal rule, which maximizes the product of utilities, is resource-monotonic and population-monotonic, in addition to being Pareto-optimal, envy-free and satisfying a strong competitive-equilibrium condition. Moreover, we prove that it is the only rule among a natural family of welfare-maximizing rules that is both proportional and resource-monotonic.

description: Universal HIV testing and immediate antiretroviral therapy for infected individuals has been proposed as a way of reducing the transmission of HIV and thereby bringing the HIV epidemic under control. It is unclear whether transmission during early HIV infection-before individuals are likely to have been diagnosed with HIV and started on antiretroviral therapy-will compromise the effectiveness of treatment as prevention. This article presents two opposing viewpoints by Powers, Miller, and Cohen, and Williams and Dye, followed by a commentary by Fraser.

description: Metal phthalocyanines, a highly versatile class of aromatic, planar, macrocyclic molecules with a chelated central metal ion, are topical objects of ongoing research and particularly interesting due to their magnetic properties. However, while current focus lies almost exclusively on spin-Zeeman-related effects, the high symmetry of the molecule and its circular shape suggests the exploitation of light-induced excitation of twofold degenerate vibrational states in order to generate, switch and manipulate magnetic fields at the nanoscale. The underlying mechanism is a molecular pseudorotation that can be triggered by infrared pulses and gives rise to a quantized, small but controllable magnetic dipole moment. We investigate the optical stimulation of vibrationally-induced molecular magnetism and estimate changes in the magnetic shielding constants for confirmation by future experiments.

description: We study unconstrained control of a two-level quantum system and analyse critical points of the objective functional which represents quantum average of system observable at some final time $T$. In Proc. Steklov Inst. Math. 285, 233-240 (2014) it was shown that all maxima and minima of the objective functional are global if $T\ge π$ (in suitable units). In the present work we show that all maxima and minima are global as soon as $T\ge π/2$. Hence we reduce by the factor of two the minimal time for which traps, i.e., local but not global maxima or minima of the objective functional, do not exist.

description: Empirical evidence in heavy fermion, pnictide, and other systems suggests that unconventional superconductivity appears associated to some form of real-space electronic order. For the cuprates, despite several proposals, the emergence of order in the phase diagram between the commensurate antiferromagnetic state and the superconducting state is not well understood. Here we show that in this regime doped holes assemble in "electronic polymers." Within a Monte Carlo study we find, that in clean systems by lowering the temperature the polymer melt condenses first in a smectic state and then in a Wigner crystal both with the addition of inversion symmetry breaking. Disorder blurs the positional order leaving a robust inversion symmetry breaking and a nematic order, accompanied by vector chiral spin order and with the persistence of a thermodynamic transition. Such electronic phases, whose properties are reminiscent of soft-matter physics, produce charge and spin responses in good accord with experiments.

description: A great variety of biologically relevant monolayers present phase coexistence characterized by domains formed by lipids in an ordered phase state dispersed in a continuous, disordered phase. The difference in surface densities between these phases originates inter-domain dipolar interactions, which are relevant for the determination of the spacial distribution of domains, as well as their dynamics. In this work, we propose a novel manner of estimating the dipolar repulsion using a passive method that involves the analysis of images of the monolayer with phase coexistence. The method is based on the comparison of the pair correlation function obtained from experiments with that obtained from Brownian dynamics simulations of a model system. As an example, we determined the difference in dipolar density of a binary monolayer of DSPC/DMPC at the air-water interface from the analysis of the radial distribution of domains, and the results are compared with those obtained by surface potential determinations. A systematic analysis for experimentally relevant parameter range is given, which may be used as a working curve for obtaining the dipolar repulsion in different systems.

description: Many healthcare facilities (HCFs) in low-income countries experience unreliable connectivity to
energy sources, which adversely impacts the quality of health service delivery and provision of
adequate environmental health services. This assessment explores the status and consequences
of energy access through interviews and surveys with administrators and healthcare workers from
44 HCFs (central hospitals, district hospitals, health centres and health posts) in Malawi. Most HCFs
are connected to the electrical grid but experience weekly power interruptions averaging 10 h; less
than one-third of facilities have a functional back-up source. Inadequate energy availability is associated
with irregular water supply and poor medical equipment sterilization; it adversely affects
provider safety and contributes to poor lighting and working conditions. Some challenges, such as
poor availability and maintenance of back-up energy sources, disproportionately affect smaller
HCFs. Policymakers, health system actors and third-party organizations seeking to improve energy
access and quality of care in Malawi and similar settings should address these challenges in a way
that prioritizes the specific needs of different facility types.

description: Model-independent masses of substellar companions are critical tools to validate models of planet and brown dwarf cooling, test their input physics, and determine the formation and evolution of these objects. In this work, we measure the dynamical mass and orbit of the young substellar companion HD 984 B. We obtained new high-contrast imaging of the HD 984 system with Keck/NIRC2 which expands the baseline of relative astrometry from 3 to 8 years. We also present new radial velocities of the host star with the Habitable-Zone Planet Finder spectrograph at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. Furthermore, HD 984 exhibits a significant proper motion difference between Hipparcos and Gaia EDR3. Our joint orbit fit of the relative astrometry, proper motions, and radial velocities yields a dynamical mass of 61 ± 4 M [subscript Jup] for HD 984 B, placing the companion firmly in the brown dwarf regime. The new fit also reveals a higher eccentricity for the companion (e = 0.76 ± 0.05) compared to previous orbit fits. Given the broad age constraint for HD 984, this mass is consistent with predictions from evolutionary models. HD 984 B’s dynamical mass places it among a small but growing list of giant planet and brown dwarf companions with direct mass measurements

Με τα έργα πολλών δημιουργών που φαντάζονταν το ανώτερο επίπεδο των κτιρίων ως χώρο αξιοποίησης και με κύριο πρωτοπόρο τον Le Corbusier, η κληρονομιά του μοντερνισμού στην Ευρώπη ανήλθε σε τεράστιες εκτάσεις, στέγες. Μόλις τη δεκαετία του 1990 η οροφή άρχισε να θεωρείται κάτι περισσότερο από ένα περίβλημα, αλλά ως αναπόσπαστο μέρος της χωρικής ιδέας και του προγράμματος του έργου, καθώς τόσο οι αρχιτέκτονες όσο και οι προγραμματιστές αρχίζουν να συνειδητοποιούν τη χαμένη ευκαιρία μιας απρόσιτης, καθαρά τεχνικής στέγης. Στις σύγχρονες πόλεις, όπου ο δημόσιος χώρος βρίσκεται σε κρίση και ο άνθρωπος αδυνατεί να αισθανθεί μέρος μιας κοινότητας, το δώμα δίνει τη δυνατότητα ανάκτησης της συλλογικής ζωής χωρίς αυτό να σημαίνει αναγκαστικά την προσθήκη νέων κατασκευών, αλλά την ενεργοποίηση ήπιων προϋποθέσεων επανάκτησης της «γειτονιάς» στην απρόσωπη πολυκατοικία, τη δημιουργία δηλαδή καταστάσεων και ανθρωπίνων δραστηριοτήτων. Οι προοπτικές κατοίκησης των κοινόχρηστων δωμάτων, αποκτούν άλλη δυναμική και εμπλουτίζονται, όταν τα ανάγουμε στην κλίμακα της γειτονιάς και της πόλης. Γίνεται εμφανής, η δυνατότητα του κάθε μεμονωμένου δώματος να ενεργοποιηθεί και να ενταχθεί σε ευρύτερα σύνολα που θα αλλάξουν εξ ολοκλήρου τη φυσιογνωμία του αστικού τοπίου, αφήνοντας να πλανάται η υπόσχεση σύστασης ενός μελλοντικού, νέου εδάφους προς κατοίκησης για την πόλη.

description: The Moon is becoming an increasingly relevant location for scientific, exploration, commercial, and defense activities. Understanding the dynamics of objects in lunar orbit is important for a variety of mission planning and operations applications, including trajectory optimization, space object tracking, and spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control. This dissertation focuses on two dominant gravitational elements of cislunar dynamics models: the third-body attraction of the Earth and the effect of the nonspherical lunar gravity field. In order to survey motion in low-to-medium lunar altitude orbital regimes, long-duration lunar periodic orbits are sought with repeating geometries and stability characteristics. The lowest-altitude orbits require particularly high-resolution models of the lunar gravity due to the Moon's highly non-uniform mass distribution. Motivated by the high sensitivity of near-surface motion to finely-detailed lunar gravity features, an analytical approach is developed to quantify the effect of gravity model fidelity on acceleration error, showing that an extremely high-resolution gravity model is required at low altitudes. Modeling gravity to such high fidelity using the standard spherical harmonics method can be infeasible in resource-constrained environments such as onboard flight computers. Therefore, alternative lunar gravity models are developed with ensembles of point mass potentials (mascons) that demonstrate improved evaluation runtime compared to spherical harmonics models. The main results of this dissertation are as follows: Using a straightforward averaging of Earth's gravitational potential, medium-altitude families of periodic orbits are identified that have circulating and pulsating eccentricity vectors. A set of initial guesses for such circulating, eccentric periodic orbits is generated using averaged dynamics and shared in a publicly available database. Families of low-altitude periodic orbits are found using a dynamics model that includes a highly-detailed lunar gravity field. An analytical approach to estimating acceleration errors due to the inclusion and truncation of spherical harmonics gravity field coefficients is used to select an appropriate spherical harmonics truncation degree given a user-specified altitude and expected level of acceleration noise. Three types of point mascon lunar gravity models are generated as more efficient alternatives to spherical harmonics models: fixed-mass models, free-mass models, and weighted cubed-sphere localized mascon models. When comparing acceleration evaluation runtime to that of equivalent spherical harmonics models, the fixed-mass models demonstrate up to nearly a factor of five speedup, the free-mass models demonstrate up to a factor of 15 speedup, and the weighted cubed-sphere models demonstrate up to a factor of 90 speedup. The new lunar gravity models are disseminated in an online database.

description: Measuring redshifted CO line emission is an unambiguous method for obtaining an accurate redshift and total cold gas content of optically faint, dusty starburst systems. Here, we report the first successful spectroscopic redshift determination of AzTEC J095942.9+022938 ("COSMOS AzTEC-1"), the brightest 1.1mm continuum source found in the AzTEC/JCMT survey (Scott et al. 2008), through a clear detection of the redshifted CO (4-3) and CO (5-4) lines using the Redshift Search Receiver on the Large Millimeter Telescope. The CO redshift of $z=4.3420\pm0.0004$ is confirmed by the detection of the redshifted 158 micron [C II] line using the Submillimeter Array. The new redshift and Herschel photometry yield $L_{FIR}=(1.1\pm0.1)\times 10^{13} L_\odot$ and $SFR = 1300\, M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. Its molecular gas mass derived using the ULIRG conversion factor is $1.4\pm0.2 \times 10^{11} M_\odot$ while the total ISM mass derived from the 1.1mm dust continuum is $3.7\pm0.7 \times 10^{11} M_\odot$ assuming dust temperature of 35 K. Our dynamical mass analysis suggests that the compact gas disk ($r\approx 1.1$ kpc, inferred from dust continuum and SED analysis) has to be nearly face-on, providing a natural explanation for the uncommonly bright, compact stellar light seen by the HST. The [C II] line luminosity $L_{[C~II]} = 7.8\pm1.1 \times 10^9 L_\odot$ is remarkably high, but it is only 0.04 per cent of the total IR luminosity. AzTEC COSMOS-1 and other high redshift sources with a spatially resolved size extend the tight trend seen between [C II]/FIR ratio and $Σ_{FIR}$ among IR-bright galaxies reported by Diaz-Santos et al. (2013) by more than an order of magnitude, supporting the explanation that the higher intensity of the IR radiation field is responsible for the "[C II] deficiency" seen among luminous starburst galaxies.

description: La espiritualidad medieval europea se caracteriza por una profunda conexión entre las creencias cristianas y la simbología animal, donde los animales adquirieron significados para transmitir mensajes teológicos y morales. Entre estos símbolos, el pelícano destaca como una figura cristológica. Este artículo examina la evolución del pelícano como símbolo de la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo en textos como el Physiologus y el Bestiario de Aberdeen. Se analiza el simbolismo desde una perspectiva de literatura comparada y análisis teológico, destacando su presencia en el arte medieval, en la arquitectura religiosa, manuscritos iluminados y objetos litúrgicos. Además, se aborda el papel pedagógico de este símbolo. El estudio también explora su uso en la literatura moralizante (Isabel de Villena, Roís de Corella y Jaume Roig), que lo emplearon para profundizar en la reflexión sobre el sacrificio y el amor divino. En definitiva, revela cómo la cultura medieval aprovechó la tradición simbólica animal para comunicar verdades religiosas complejas.
Assessing Knowledge of the Microbiome’s Role in Obesity Prevention within Minority Communities: Protocol to Guide Focus Group Research
Creators: name: Pardo-Montez, Monique
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Background: Disparities in the prevalence of obesity in ethnic minority populations are apparent in early preschool years. Emerging evidence states that the early life gut microbiome is an important regulator of the biologic pathways contributing to the development of obesity. Furthermore, manipulating the gut microbiota may be a viable intervention leading to weight loss and obesity prevention.

Purpose: The aim of this protocol is to guide the development of qualitative research in order to assess minority communities’ understanding of the early life microbiome and its role in obesity prevention. 

Methods: This study will be carried out through collaboration with the FYI: Feed Your Infant study, Dr. Eric Hodges’ TraCS 2k grant-funded project. Research goals are to reach out to minority communities through a process called intervention mapping to understand whether there is a community interest in obesity prevention in infancy and toddlerhood. The intersection of these two studies is an effective way to garner data about feeding experiences, obesity concerns, and potential interventions. Knowledge of the microbiome will be assessed in four different focus groups: two Latinx and two African American groups with five people attending each group. The location of the focus groups will be in Durham and Sanford, North Carolina.

Conclusions: Data from the integration of this and the FYI study will provide insights regarding efforts to enhance participation among minority families in a planned NIH R01 obesity prevention trial.

description: High-content screening (HCS) bioimaging approaches are powerful techniques consisting of the automated imaging and analysis of large numbers of biological samples, to extract quantitative and qualitative information from the images. HCS still presents several bottlenecks restraining these approaches from exerting their full potential for scientific discoveries. As major example, a huge amount of metadata is generated in each experiment, capturing critical information about the images. The efficient and accurate treatment of image metadata is of great importance, as it provides insights that are essential for effective image management, search, organisation, interpretation, and sharing. It is vital to find ways to properly deal with the huge amount of complex and unstructured data for implementing Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) concepts in bioimaging.

description: Context: The link between testing for HIV and obtaining antiretroviral therapy (ART) is central to the HIV/AIDS control
strategies of UNAIDS (the “90-90-90” goals) and the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (“Test and Start”).
To ensure that 90% of those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS begin ART and 90% of those on ART achieve viral suppression,
service providers not providing all services need to refer patients to other organizations.
Setting: Homa Bay, Kenya.
Objective: Homa Bay county’s HIV/AIDS prevalence is one of the country’s highest.We identified the organizations providing
some aspect of HIV/AIDS care and investigatedways in which theywork together, or do not, to cover the comprehensive
needs of those they serve.
Design and Participants: We identified 56 organizations and interviewed a representative from each about his or her
organization’s services and its connections with the other 55, with particular interest in referrals from sites that test for HIV
but do not treat infections to sites that do treat infections.
Main Outcome Measure: Referral connections.
Results: Referral connections among the 56 in the past 30 dayswere relatively rare, averaging fewer than 2; 13 organizations
made no referrals at all. Notably, 5 facilities that test for HIV did not refer their clients to an ART provider. We found 2
distinct clusters of connected organizations: one in Homa Bay Township and the other in Rangwe subcounty. When we
convened the organizations and presented our results to them, they expressed interest in establishing better connections
and referrals.
Conclusions: Homa Bay has an opportunity to improve care for people with HIV/AIDS, in particular ensuring that those
testing positive receive treatment, simply by making better use of the services already available. This can be achieved by
informing each organization of the services provided by each of the others and by bringing the organizations together to
plan and monitor the services’ coordination. These steps could be implemented separately in each of the 2 organizational
clusters.

description: We study the structural changes occurring in the isotropic phase of the C$_{12}$=EO$_6$/H$_2$O lyotropic mixture (up to 35% surfactant weight concentration) upon increasing the concentration and temperature, from small individual micelles to an entangled network which subsequently becomes connected. High-frequency (up to $ω= 6 \times 10^4$ rad/s) rheological measurements give us access to the viscoelastic relaxation spectrum, which can be well described by the sum of two Maxwell models with very different temperature behaviors: the slower one ($τ_1 \simeq 10^{-4}$ s) is probably due to reptation, and its associated viscosity first increases with temperature (micellar growth) and then decreases after reaching a maximum (appearance of connections). The fast mechanism ($τ_2 \simeq 10^{-6}$ s) remains practically unchanged in temperature and can be related to the relaxation of local micellar order, as observed at higher concentration in a previous investigation. This interpretation is confirmed by additional measurements in aqueous mixtures of the related surfactant C$_{12}$EO$_8$ (which forms smaller micelles), where only the fast mechanism -related to local order- is detected.

description: We show that color-kinematics duality is present in tree-level amplitudes of quantum chromodynamics with massive flavored quarks. Starting with the color structure of QCD, we work out a new color decomposition for n-point tree amplitudes in a reduced basis of primitive amplitudes. These primitives, with k quark-antiquark pairs and (n-2k) gluons, are taken in the (n-2)!/k! Melia basis, and are independent under the color-algebra Kleiss-Kuijf relations. This generalizes the color decomposition of Del Duca, Dixon, and Maltoni to an arbitrary number of quarks. The color coefficients in the new decomposition are given by compact expressions valid for arbitrary gauge group and representation. Considering the kinematic structure, we show through explicit calculations that color-kinematics duality holds for amplitudes with general configurations of gluons and massive quarks. The new (massive) amplitude relations that follow from the duality can be mapped to a well-defined subset of the familiar BCJ relations for gluons. They restrict the amplitude basis further down to (n-3)!(2k-2)/k! primitives, for two or more quark lines. We give a decomposition of the full amplitude in that basis. The presented results provide strong evidence that QCD obeys the color-kinematics duality, at least at tree level. The results are also applicable to supersymmetric and D-dimensional extensions of QCD.

description: Consider a restriction of an irreducible finite dimensional holomorphic representation of $\GL(n+1,C)$ to the subgroup $GL(n,C)$ (it is determined by the Gelfand-Tsetlin branching rule). We write explicitly formulas for generators of the Lie algebra $gl(n+1)$ in the direct sum of representations of $\GL(n,C)$. Nontrivial generators act as differential-difference operators, the differential part has order $(n-1)$, the difference part acts on the space of parameters (highest weights) of representations. We also formulate a conjecture about unitary principal series of $GL(n,C)$

description: Background: In 2006, the Government of India launched the accredited social health activist (ASHA) program, with
the goal to connect marginalized communities to the health care system. We assessed the effect of the ASHA
program on the utilization of maternity services.
Methods: We used data from Indian Human Development Surveys done in 2004–2005 and in 2011–2012 to assess
demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with the receipt of ASHA services, and used difference-indifference
analysis with cluster-level fixed effects to assess the effect of the program on the utilization of at
least one antenatal care (ANC) visit, four or more ANC visits, skilled birth attendance (SBA), and giving birth at
a health facility.
Results: Substantial variations in the receipt of ASHA services were reported with 66% of women in northeastern
states, 30% in high-focus states, and 16% of women in other states. In areas where active ASHA activity was reported,
the poorest women, and women belonging to scheduled castes and other backward castes, had the highest odds of
receiving ASHA services. Exposure to ASHA services was associated with a 17% (95% CI 11.8–22.1) increase in ANC-1,
5% increase in four or more ANC visits (95% CI − 1.6–11.1), 26% increase in SBA (95% CI 20–31.1), and 28% increase
(95% CI 22.4–32.8) in facility births.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the ASHA program is successfully connecting marginalized communities
to maternity health services. Given the potential of the ASHA in impacting service

description: We present EditIQ, a completely automated framework for cinematically editing scenes captured via a stationary, large field-of-view and high-resolution camera. From the static camera feed, EditIQ initially generates multiple virtual feeds, emulating a team of cameramen. These virtual camera shots termed rushes are subsequently assembled using an automated editing algorithm, whose objective is to present the viewer with the most vivid scene content. To understand key scene elements and guide the editing process, we employ a two-pronged approach: (1) a large language model (LLM)-based dialogue understanding module to analyze conversational flow, coupled with (2) visual saliency prediction to identify meaningful scene elements and camera shots therefrom. We then formulate cinematic video editing as an energy minimization problem over shot selection, where cinematic constraints determine shot choices, transitions, and continuity. EditIQ synthesizes an aesthetically and visually compelling representation of the original narrative while maintaining cinematic coherence and a smooth viewing experience. Efficacy of EditIQ against competing baselines is demonstrated via a psychophysical study involving twenty participants on the BBC Old School dataset plus eleven theatre performance videos. Video samples from EditIQ can be found at https://editiq-ave.github.io/.

Year: 2019

description: Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are infrastructure less wireless networks in which the communication is achieved through the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) protocol in a single or multi-hop communication mode. Due to the selfconfigurable nature and lack of central management, vehicular ad hoc network is vulnerable to different types of malicious attacks. Among these, Sybil attack is one of the serious security threats that can change its identification number from time to time and easily influence the entire of the network, especially the routing process. We have implemented a mechanism to detect and prevent both internal and external Sybil attack influences. In this research work, security mechanism for VANET, Enhanced Security Mechanism for Detecting Sybil Attack in VANET Using AODV (ESMDSAVAODV), is proposed to detect Sybil attacks on vehicular ad hoc networks. The proposed system works based on the principle of registration, and use identification number, status and security key for the verification. This means vehicles before joining the network are registered on Road Side Unit (RSU) with their identification number, then the road side unit assigned security key with their identification number and define the speed of the vehicle in the defined network. It is implemented and tested using the Network Simulation version 2.35. Our proposed algorithm enhanced the process of detection and reduces the effect of Sybil attacks. The simulation result shows our proposed algorithm enhances the detection rate, false positive rate and false negative rate by 94%, 6% and 7%, respectively.
Degeneracies of particle and nuclear physics uncertainties in neutrinoless double beta decay

description: Theoretical estimates for the half life of neutrinoless double beta decay in candidate nuclei are affected by both particle and nuclear physics uncertainties, which may complicate the interpretation of decay signals or limits. We study such uncertainties and their degeneracies in the following context: three nuclei of great interest for large-scale experiments (76-Ge, 130-Te, 136-Xe), two representative particle physics mechanisms (light and heavy Majorana neutrino exchange), and a large set of nuclear matrix elements (NME), computed within the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA). It turns out that the main theoretical uncertainties, associated with the effective axial coupling g_A and with the nucleon-nucleon potential, can be parametrized in terms of NME rescaling factors, up to small residuals. From this parametrization, the following QRPA features emerge: (1) the NME dependence on g_A is milder than quadratic; (2) in each of the two mechanisms, the relevant lepton number violating parameter is largely degenerate with the NME rescaling factors; and (3) the light and heavy neutrino exchange mechanisms are basically degenerate in the above three nuclei. We comment on the challenging theoretical and experimental improvements required to reduce such particle and nuclear physics uncertainties and their degeneracies.
