description: In various practical situations, matrix factorization methods suffer from poor data quality, such as high data sparsity and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Here, we consider a matrix factorization problem by utilizing auxiliary information, which is massively available in real-world applications, to overcome the challenges caused by poor data quality. Unlike existing methods that mainly rely on simple linear models to combine auxiliary information with the main data matrix, we propose to integrate gradient boosted trees in the probabilistic matrix factorization framework to effectively leverage auxiliary information (MFAI). Thus, MFAI naturally inherits several salient features of gradient boosted trees, such as the capability of flexibly modeling nonlinear relationships and robustness to irrelevant features and missing values in auxiliary information. The parameters in MFAI can be automatically determined under the empirical Bayes framework, making it adaptive to the utilization of auxiliary information and immune to overfitting. Moreover, MFAI is computationally efficient and scalable to large datasets by exploiting variational inference. We demonstrate the advantages of MFAI through comprehensive numerical results from simulation studies and real data analyses. Our approach is implemented in the R package mfair available at https://github.com/YangLabHKUST/mfair.

The M. unifasciata of Nylander is certainly not the unifasciata of Smith's Essay, nor have we seen it in any British collection; all the English examples have the antennae pale red, and the fascia on the abdomen extends to, or frequently beyond, the second segment. Latreille may have confounded the two species, but he has not mentioned the dark club of the antennae,-a conspicuous character; the width of the band on the abdomen varies in different specimens, so that it would rather appear that Latreille was describing Schenck's insect, M. cingulata; but we think it best to adopt the nomenclature of Nylander and others.

description: The UK music education sector faces significant challenges in funding, accessibility, and sustained commitment, particularly impacting learners from underprivileged backgrounds. Existing literature and reports from Ofsted and The Musicians' Union highlight a persistent "postcode lottery" in accessing quality music instruction. To explore this further, we conducted surveys and interviews with 15 stakeholders, including music educators, service heads, and hobbyists, to gain insight into the current state of music education and the role of technology within it. This research provides a comprehensive overview of the barriers and ongoing efforts to support equitable access to music education across the UK.

description: Bibliometric and Scientometric analyses offer invaluable perspectives on the complex research terrain and collaborative dynamics spanning diverse academic disciplines. This paper presents pyBibX, a python library devised to conduct comprehensive bibliometric and scientometric analyses on raw data files sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, seamlessly integrating state of the art AI capabilities into its core functionality. The library executes a comprehensive EDA, presenting outcomes via visually appealing graphical illustrations. Network capabilities have been deftly integrated, encompassing Citation, Collaboration, and Similarity Analysis. Furthermore, the library incorporates AI capabilities, including Embedding vectors, Topic Modeling, Text Summarization, and other general Natural Language Processing tasks, employing models such as Sentence-BERT, BerTopic, BERT, chatGPT, and PEGASUS. As a demonstration, we have analyzed 184 documents associated with multiple-criteria decision analysis published between 1984 and 2023. The EDA emphasized a growing fascination with decision-making and fuzzy logic methodologies. Next, Network Analysis further accentuated the significance of central authors and intra-continental collaboration, identifying Canada and China as crucial collaboration hubs. Finally, AI Analysis distinguished two primary topics and chatGPT preeminence in Text Summarization. It also proved to be an indispensable instrument for interpreting results, as our library enables researchers to pose inquiries to chatGPT regarding bibliometric outcomes. Even so, data homogeneity remains a daunting challenge due to database inconsistencies. PyBibX is the first application integrating cutting-edge AI capabilities for analyzing scientific publications, enabling researchers to examine and interpret these outcomes more effectively.

description: Variable Projection (VarPro) is a framework to solve op- timization problems efficiently by optimally eliminating a subset of the unknowns. It is in particular adapted for Separable Nonlinear Least Squares (SNLS) problems, a class of optimization problems including low-rank matrix factorization with missing data and affine bundle adjustment as instances. VarPro-based methods have received much attention over the last decade due to the experimentally observed large convergence basin for certain problem classes, where they have a clear advantage over standard methods based on Joint optimization over all unknowns. Yet no clear answers have been found in the literature as to why VarPro outperforms others and why Joint optimization, which has been successful in solving many computer vision tasks, fails on this type of problems. Also, the fact that VarPro has been mainly tested on small to medium-sized datasets has raised questions about its scalability. This paper intends to address these unsolved puzzles.

description: We present a new divergence-free and well-balanced hybrid FV/FE scheme for the incompressible viscous and resistive MHD equations on unstructured mixed-element meshes in 2 and 3 space dimensions. The equations are split into subsystems. The pressure is defined on the vertices of the primary mesh, while the velocity field and the normal components of the magnetic field are defined on an edge-based/face-based dual mesh in two and three space dimensions, respectively. This allows to account for the divergence-free conditions of the velocity field and of the magnetic field in a rather natural manner. The non-linear convective and the viscous terms are solved at the aid of an explicit FV scheme, while the magnetic field is evolved in a divergence-free manner via an explicit FV method based on a discrete form of the Stokes law in the edges/faces of each primary element. To achieve higher order of accuracy, a pw-linear polynomial is reconstructed for the magnetic field, which is guaranteed to be divergence-free via a constrained L2 projection. The pressure subsystem is solved implicitly at the aid of a classical continuous FE method in the vertices of the primary mesh. In order to maintain non-trivial stationary equilibrium solutions of the governing PDE system exactly, which are assumed to be known a priori, each step of the new algorithm takes the known equilibrium solution explicitly into account so that the method becomes exactly well-balanced. This paper includes a very thorough study of the lid-driven MHD cavity problem in the presence of different magnetic fields. We finally present long-time simulations of Soloviev equilibrium solutions in several simplified 3D tokamak configurations even on very coarse unstructured meshes that, in general, do not need to be aligned with the magnetic field lines.

description: Property norms have the potential to aid a wide range of semantic tasks, provided that they can be obtained for large numbers of concepts. Recent work has focused on text as the main source of information for automatic property extraction. In this paper we examine property norm prediction from visual, rather than textual, data, using cross-modal maps learnt between property norm and visual spaces. We also investigate the importance of having a complete feature norm dataset, for both training and testing. Finally, we evaluate how these datasets and cross-modal maps can be used in an image retrieval task.

High-order ADER Discontinuous Galerkin schemes for a symmetric hyperbolic model of compressible barotropic two-fluid flows
Creators: name: Río-Martín, Laura
name: Dumbser, Michael
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper presents a high-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element method to solve the barotropic version of the conservative symmetric hyperbolic and thermodynamically compatible (SHTC) model of compressible two-phase flow, introduced by Romenski et al., in multiple space dimensions. In the absence of algebraic source terms, the model is endowed with a curl constraint on the relative velocity field. In this paper, the hyperbolicity of the system is studied for the first time in the multidimensional case, showing that the original model is only weakly hyperbolic in multiple space dimensions. To restore strong hyperbolicity, two different methodologies are used: i) the explicit symmetrization of the system, which can be achieved by adding terms that contain linear combinations of the curl involution, similar to the Godunov-Powell terms in the MHD equations; ii) the use of the hyperbolic generalized Lagrangian multiplier (GLM) curl-cleaning approach forwarded. The PDE system is solved using a high-order ADER discontinuous Galerkin method with a posteriori sub-cell finite volume limiter to deal with shock waves and the steep gradients in the volume fraction commonly appearing in the solutions of this type of model. To illustrate the performance of the method, several different test cases and benchmark problems have been run, showing the high-order of the scheme and the good agreement when compared to reference solutions computed with other well-known methods.

description: Spiroporococcus Miller 1967
Spiroporococcus Miller in Miller and McKenzie 1967: 528. Type species Fonscolombia yuccae Ferris 1919, by original designation.
Generic diagnosis: The known immature instars of Spiroporococcus are similar to the same instars of Ovaticoccus in having reduced anal lobes and uniquely shaped enlarged setae. They differ by (character states in brackets are of Spiroporococcus): lacking a concentration of multilocular pores in area surrounding atrium of spiracles (having a concentration of multilocular pores in false atrium of spiracles); usually having four setae on each tibia, without middle seta (with five setae on each tibia, including one in the middle).
More information on this genus is provided by Miller and McKenzie (1967). The three known species, S. braggi (Cockerell & Robinson), S. ruber (Parrott & Cockerell) and S. yuccae (Ferris), all occur in the southwestern USA. Further information is provided here for S. braggi and S. yuccae.
Etymology: The generic epithet “ Spiroporococcus ” is based on the Greek words “ Spir ” meaning “to breathe” or “spiracle,” “ poros ” meaning “pore” and “ kokkos ” meaning “round” or “scale insect” and refers to the cluster of pores in the atrium of the spiracle.

description: We investigate the following question: how close can two disjoint lattice polytopes contained in a fixed hypercube be? This question stems from various contexts where the minimal distance between such polytopes appears in complexity bounds of optimization algorithms. We provide nearly matching lower and upper bounds on this distance and discuss its exact computation. We also give similar bounds in the case of disjoint rational polytopes whose binary encoding length is prescribed.

This species has been admitted into the lists of British Ants, but is undoubtedly an importation. The Rev. Hamlet Clark met with a small ant at Rio Janeiro, which he described as being very annoying: it was found everywhere, in-doors and out-of-doors, and upon everything; Mr. Clark brought a number of these to England, which have been carefully examined, and named provisionally Myrmica intrudens: this species is undoubtedly M. molesta, which has been introduced in merchandise. In this country it appears to be found in houses alone, and in some places has proved very annoying, rendering some of them uninhabitable: such was the case at Kemp Town, Brighton; and many houses in the vicinity of the British Museum swarm with them: in one of these all the sexes were procured from a nest under the kitchen hearth-stone; on turning up the latter it was found to cover a moving mass of ants, which filled the entire space occupied by the stone; countless numbers were destroyed by pouring boiling water on the colony, the females were by this means destroyed, and the pest got rid of. The female is of the same colour as the workers, yellow with the apical portion of the abdomen dusky or black, the thorax being elongate-ovate, not narrowed behind; the male is a minute black insect with colourless wings, the neuration being scarcely perceptible.
The Myrmica molesta of Say, I consider identical with our insect, specimens from the United States having been carefully compared; it is described as being equally abundant and annoying in houses in that country, and is probably now of almost universal occurrence, like other insects which attach themselves to the habitations of man: South America is its native country.

description: The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of combined pond fly ash (PFA) and flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) as a partial replacement for cement by mixing them with fine river sand for green mortar development. We studied the physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties of mortars by using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for chemical component identification of the hydrated phase. These experimental results show that mortar containing pond fly ash, FGDG, and cement concentrations of 5 wt%, 5 wt%, and 90 wt% yields the maximum compressive strength (8.9 MPa) and flexural strength (3.4 MPa) after 28 days. This mortar has 12.6% higher compressive strength and 48% lower shrinkage in comparison with control specimens. A reduction in shrinkage is attributed to the denser structure of the mortar, as the calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) gel is found to exist in the SEM image and also identified through XRD studies. It is also concluded that excessive ettringite formation causes expansion in the volume of mortar, voids formation, and results in the reduction of strength. The application of this mortar can be in the internal plaster, bricks, and masonry.

description: The aggregate size and particle-size distribution (PSD) can change the packing density, slump, and strength of concrete. The micromechanical effects of aggregate size on the slump and strength remain unclear. The current numerical study examined concrete behavior using slump and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests considering the aggregate size distribution using the discrete element method. The effect of the aggregate size on the packing density, UCS, and slump of the concrete was analyzed. To accomplish this, we evaluated how variations in the uniformity and curvature coefficients of the PSD, as well as the specific surface area of the samples, were affected by changes in aggregate size. Although the simulations were based on standard specimens from the laboratory, the results showed good agreement with the documented experimental results. Briefly, at a 40–60% fine aggregate content, the packing density and compressive strength of the concrete reached their peaks and caused a decrease in the height of the slump. The uniformity and curvature coefficients did not influence the slump height. The induced shear band could be tracked during the UCS tests and the crack angles could be measured. At the optimum fine content (40–60%), the shear bands were primarily localized and propagated through the samples having different fine contents. The use of the optimum level of the concrete fine aggregate content ensured its workability and strength.This optimum level of fine aggregate was 40–60%.The discrete element method can be used to evaluate the role of particle size on the performance of concrete.The particle size distribution changed the macro-parameters of the concrete.The maximum packing density was determined to be 40–60% of fine aggregates.

description: Based on fractal theory, the geometric size, surface morphology, and spatial structure of flocs in the hydrophobic flocculation process of coal particles were examined via particle size distribution detection, image analysis technology, and numerical simulation. The floc size distribution curve was classified and discussed via the dual-domain fractal rule, and the variation law of the composition and distribution of the coarse- and fine-grained coal particle flocs with the flocculation process was clarified. The various levels and characteristics of the floc growth geometry were explained by the analysis of the fractal dimension of the individual floc surface and the multiple spectra of the floc groups in the metallographic microscopy image. The hydrophobic flocculation process of coal particles was simulated via the diffusion-limited cluster aggregation model. The gyration fractal dimension was used to examine floc fragmentation and reconstruction and clarify the growth law of the floc spatial structure during the hydrophobic flocculation process.

description: Xerococcus Ferris 1921
Xerococcus Ferris 1921: 80. Type species: Xerococcus fouquieriae Ferris 1921, by original designation and monotypy.
Ferris (1921, 1955, 1957) prepared the only detailed description and illustration of this monotypic genus.
Etymology: The generic epithet “ Xerococcus ” is a combination of the Greek words “ xeros ” meaning “dry,” and ” kokkos ” meaning “seed” or “scale insect” and is a masculine noun. The generic epithet is formed because this scale insect occurs in the very xeric desert habitat of Baja California, Mexico.
Field features: According to Ferris (1921: 80) “Occurring beneath the bark scales of the host, imbedded in a considerable amount of amorphous secretion; insects of a bright red color in life.”
Generic diagnosis of adult female: Anal lobes large, strongly protruding; legs represented by small, sclerotized areas; antennae reduced; enlarged setae slightly enlarged; derm with small sclerotized nodules; anal ring complete, without pores, slightly invaginated; multilocular pores restricted to venter, primarily 3-locular pores; macrotubular ducts on both surfaces; microtubular ducts and cruciform pores absent.
Generic diagnosis of second-instar female: Same as adult female except with fewer macrotubular ducts, smaller anal lobes, and fewer multilocular pores, predominantly with 3-locular pores.
Generic diagnosis of first-instar female: Anal lobes small, rounded; legs fully developed, claw with small denticle; antennae each 6-segmented; enlarged setae present along body margin, becoming increasingly shorter and more dome-shaped anteriorly; derm nodules present; multilocular pores near spiracles only, 3-locular; tubular ducts and cruciform pores absent.
Generic diagnosis of second-instar male: anal lobes weakly developed; legs fully developed; dorsal setae in 3 pairs of longitudinal lines; dorsal setae flagellate, weakly capitate; single seta on each tibia; anal ring broad, heavily sclerotized, without separate lateral plates; multilocular pores 3-locular; with dermal nodules; antennae each 7-segmented.
Generic diagnosis of first-instar male: anal lobes weakly developed; dorsal setae in 3 pairs of longitudinal lines; dorsal setae enlarged; single seta on each tibia; anal ring thin, invaginated; multilocular pores normally 3- locular; with dermal nodules.
Notes: Xerococcus is distinctive among eriococcid genera in having: sexually dimorphic first-instar nymphs; and second-instar males with legs and second-instar females with legs reduced.

description: {Let $N, k$ be positive integers with $k\geq 2$, and $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$ be a domain.} By the well-known properties of the Laplacian and the gradient, we have \[ Δ(f\cdot g)(x)=g(x) Δf(x)+f(x) Δg(x)+2\langle \nabla f(x), \nabla g(x)\rangle \] for all $f, g\in \mathscr{C}^{k}(Ω, \mathbb{R})$. {Due to the results of H.~König and V.~Milman, Operator relations characterizing derivatives. Birkhäuser / Springer, Cham, 2018.,} the converse is also true, i.e. this operator equation characterizes the Laplacian and the gradient under some assumptions. Thus the main aim of this paper is to provide an extension of this result and to study the corresponding equation \[
 T(f\cdot g)= fT(g)+T(f)g+2B(A(f), A(g))
