description: We experimentally investigate the transient dynamics of an optical cavity field interacting with large ion Coulomb crystals in a situation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). EIT is achieved by injecting a probe field at the single photon level and a more intense control field with opposite circular polarization into the same mode of an optical cavity to couple Zeeman substates of a metastable level in 40Ca+ ions. The EIT interaction dynamics are investigated both in the frequency-domain - by measuring the probe field steady state reflectivity spectrum - and in the time-domain - by measuring the progressive buildup of transparency. The experimental results are observed to be in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions taking into account the inhomogeneity of the control field in the interaction volume, and confirm the high degree of control on light-matter interaction that can be achieved with ion Coulomb crystals in optical cavities.

description: This paper presents a novel LoRa (Long Range) receiver operating in frequency selective Multi-Path Channel (MPC). The dechirped received LoRa wave-forms under MPC allows us to derive a simple and efficient LoRa receiver scheme by using a MF (Matched Filter) approach that aims to maximize the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) at the symbol index frequency of the DFT output. We show that the MF receiver can be seen as RAKE structure where interference peaks related to multipath, exhibited at DFT output, are recombined in a constructive way. Detection performance is driven by channel energy and the benefit of this novel MF/RAKE receiver over original coherent and non-coherent receiver appears only for MPC that exhibits significant paths energy. These two MF and RAKE receivers have however different implementation complexities that are studied in details. We provide in that sense recommendations on which receiver variant to use for real operations, depending on complexity constraints. Finally, the proposed MF/RAKE receiver outperforms previous results on TDEL (Time Delay Estimation LoRa) receiver over MPC, especially at low SNR and higher LoRa Spreading Factor (SF) parameter, at the cost of higher but reasonable complexity.

description: Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication has attracted increasing attention as a promising technology for 5G networks. One of the key architectural features of mmWave is the use of massive antenna arrays at both the transmitter and the receiver sides. Therefore, by employing directional beamforming (BF), both mmWave base stations (MBSs) and mmWave users (MUEs) are capable of supporting multi-beam simultaneous transmissions. However, most researches have only considered a single beam, which means that they do not make full potential of mmWave. In this context, in order to improve the performance of short-range indoor mmWave networks with multiple reflections, we investigate the challenges and potential solutions of downlink multi-user multi-beam transmission, which can be described as a high-dimensional (i.e., beamspace) multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technique, including multi-user BF training, simultaneous users' grouping, and multi-user multibeam power allocation. Furthermore, we present the theoretical and numerical results to demonstrate that beamspace MU-MIMO compared with single beam transmission can largely improve the rate performance of mmWave systems.

description: It is shown that quantum entanglement is the only force able to maintain the fourth state of matter, possessing fixed shape at an arbitrary volume. Accordingly, a new relativistic Schrodinger equation is derived and transformed further to the relativistic Bohmian mechanics via the Madelung transformation. Three dissipative models are proposed as extensions of the quantum relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The corresponding dispersion relations are obtained.

description: The problem of low rank matrix completion is considered in this paper. To exploit the underlying low-rank structure of the data matrix, we propose a hierarchical Gaussian prior model, where columns of the low-rank matrix are assumed to follow a Gaussian distribution with zero mean and a common precision matrix, and a Wishart distribution is specified as a hyperprior over the precision matrix. We show that such a hierarchical Gaussian prior has the potential to encourage a low-rank solution. Based on the proposed hierarchical prior model, a variational Bayesian method is developed for matrix completion, where the generalized approximate massage passing (GAMP) technique is embedded into the variational Bayesian inference in order to circumvent cumbersome matrix inverse operations. Simulation results show that our proposed method demonstrates superiority over existing state-of-the-art matrix completion methods.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: For various two dimensional lattices such as honeycomb, kagome, and square-octagon, gauge conventions (string gauge) realizing minimum magnetic fluxes that are consistent with the lattice periodicity are explicitly given. Then many-body interactions of lattice fermions are projected into the Hofstadter bands to form pseudopotentials. By using these pseudopotentials, degenerate many-body ground states are numerically obtained. We further formulate a scheme to calculate the Chern number of the ground state multiplet by the pseudopotentials. For the filling factor of the lowest Landau level, $ν=1/3$, a simple scaling form of the energy gap are numerially obtained and the ground state is unique except the three-fold topological degeneracy. This is a quantum liquid, which can be lattice analogue of the Laughlin state. For the $ν=1/2$ case, validity of the composite fermion picture is discussed in relation to the existence of the Fermi surface. Effects of disorder are also described.

description: Reinforcement learning-based path planning for multi-agent systems of varying size constitutes a research topic with increasing significance as progress in domains such as urban air mobility and autonomous aerial vehicles continues. Reinforcement learning with continuous state and action spaces is used to train a policy network that accommodates desirable path planning behaviors and can be used for time-critical applications. A Long Short-Term Memory module is proposed to encode an unspecified number of states for a varying, indefinite number of agents. The described training strategies and policy architecture lead to a guidance that scales to an infinite number of agents and unlimited physical dimensions, although training takes place at a smaller scale. The guidance is implemented on a low-cost, off-the-shelf onboard computer. The feasibility of the proposed approach is validated by presenting flight test results of up to four drones, autonomously navigating collision-free in a real-world environment.

description: We present a procedure that adds a number of desirable features to standard exponential analysis algorithms, among which output reliability, a divide-and-conquer approach, the automatic detection of the exponential model order, robustness against some outliers, and the possibility to parallelize the analysis. The key enabler for these features is the introduction of uniform sub-Nyquist sampling through decimation of the dense signal data. We actually make use of possible aliasing effects to recondition the problem statement rather than that we avoid aliasing. In Section 2 the standard exponential analysis is described, including a sensitivity analysis. In Section 3 the ingredients for the new approach are collected, of which good use is made in Section 4 where we essentially bring everything together in what we call VEXPA. Some numerical examples of the new procedure illustrate in Section 5 that the additional features are indeed realized and that VEXPA is a valuable add-on to any stand-alone exponential analysis. While returning a lot of additional output, it maintains a favourable comparison to the CRLB of the underlying method, for which we here choose a matrix pencil method. Moreover, the output reliability of VEXPA is similar to that of atomic norm minimization, whereas its computational complexity is far less.

description: Up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from hypokinetic dysathria (HD) which is also manifested in the field of phonation. Clinical signs of HD like monoloudness, monopitch or hoarse voice are usually quantified by conventional clinical interpretable features (jitter, shimmer, harmonic-to-noise ratio, etc.). This paper provides large and robust insight into perceptual analysis of 5 Czech vowels of 84 PD patients and proves that despite the clinical inexplicability the perceptual features outperform the conventional ones, especially in terms of discrimination power (classification accuracy ACC = 92 %, sensitivity SEN = 93 %, specificity SPE = 92 %) and partial correlation with clinical scores like UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale), MMSE (Mini-mental state examination) or FOG (Freezing of gait questionnaire), where p < 0.0001.

description: We report on numerical calculations of Morse index for figure-eight choreographic solutions to a system of three identical bodies in a plane interacting through homogeneous potential, $-1/r^a$, or through Lennard-Jones-type (LJ) potential, $1/r^{12} - 1/r^6$, where $r$ is a distance between the bodies. The Morse index is a number of independent variational functions giving negative second variation $S^{(2)}$ of action functional $S$. We calculated three kinds of Morse indices, $N$, $N_c$ and $N_e$, in the domain of the periodic, the choreographic and the figure-eight choreographic function, respectively. For homogeneous system, we obtain $N=4$ for $0 \le a < a_0$, $N=2$ for $a_0 < a < a_1$, $N=0$ for $a_1 < a$, and $N_c=N_e=0$ for $0 \le a$, where $a_0=0.9970$ and $a_1=1.3424$. For $a=1$, we show a strong relationship between the figure-eight choreography and the periodic solution found by Simó through the $S^{(2)}$. For LJ system, we calculated the index for the solution tending to the figure-eight solution of $a=6$ homogeneous system for the period $T \to \infty$. We obtain $N$, $N_c$ and $N_e$ as monotonically increasing functions of the gradual change in $T$ from $T \to \infty$, which start with $N=N_c=N_e=0$, jump at the smallest $T$ by $1$, and reach $N=12$, $N_c=4$, and $N_e=1$ for $T \to \infty$ in the other branch.

This novel type of metrology is shown to be robust against phase decoherence. One can also measure gradients using lower order correlations without substantial degradation. Our results involve estimation of up to a 100 x 100 matrix permanent.

description: Most of medical developments require the ability to identify samples that are anomalous with respect to a target group or control group, in the sense they could belong to a new, previously unseen class or are not class data. In this case when there are not enough data to train two-class One-class classification appear like an available solution. On the other hand non-linear approaches could give very useful information. The aim of our project is to contribute to earlier diagnosis of AD and better estimates of its severity by using automatic analysis performed through new biomarkers extracted from speech signal. The methods selected in this case are speech biomarkers oriented to Spontaneous Speech and Emotional Response Analysis. In this approach One-class classifiers and two-class classifiers are analyzed. The use of information about outlier and Fractal Dimension features improves the system performance.

description: We present a method combining affinity prediction with region agglomeration, which improves significantly upon the state of the art of neuron segmentation from electron microscopy (EM) in accuracy and scalability. Our method consists of a 3D U-NET, trained to predict affinities between voxels, followed by iterative region agglomeration. We train using a structured loss based on MALIS, encouraging topologically correct segmentations obtained from affinity thresholding. Our extension consists of two parts: First, we present a quasi-linear method to compute the loss gradient, improving over the original quadratic algorithm. Second, we compute the gradient in two separate passes to avoid spurious gradient contributions in early training stages. Our predictions are accurate enough that simple learning-free percentile-based agglomeration outperforms more involved methods used earlier on inferior predictions. We present results on three diverse EM datasets, achieving relative improvements over previous results of 27%, 15%, and 250%. Our findings suggest that a single method can be applied to both nearly isotropic block-face EM data and anisotropic serial sectioned EM data. The runtime of our method scales linearly with the size of the volume and achieves a throughput of about 2.6 seconds per megavoxel, qualifying our method for the processing of very large datasets.

description: We prove that, given $ε>0$ and $k\geq 1$, there is an integer $n$ such that the following holds. Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $A\subseteq G$ is $k$-stable. Then there is a normal subgroup $H\leq G$ of index at most $n$, and a set $Y\subseteq G$, which is a union of cosets of $H$, such that $|A\vartriangle Y|\leqε|H|$. It follows that, for any coset $C$ of $H$, either $|C\cap A|\leq ε|H|$ or $|C\setminus A|\leq ε|H|$. This qualitatively generalizes recent work of Terry and Wolf on vector spaces over $\mathbb{F}_p$.

description: This paper considers an unlicensed multiple-access channel (MAC) that coexists with a licensed point-to-point user, following the underlay cognitive radio paradigm. We assume that every transceiver except the secondary base station has one antenna, and that the primary user (PU) is protected by a minimum rate constraint. In contrast to the conventional assumption of proper Gaussian signaling, we allow the secondary users (SUs) to transmit improper Gaussian signals, which are correlated with their complex conjugate. When the secondary base station performs zero-forcing, we show that improper signaling is optimal if the sum of the interference channel gains (in an equivalent canonical model) is above a certain threshold. Additionally, we derive an efficient algorithm to compute the transmission parameters that attain the rate region boundary for this scenario. The proposed algorithm exploits a single-user representation of the secondary MAC along with new results on the optimality of improper signaling in the single-user case when the PU is corrupted by improper noise.

description: Chinese (Taoist) temples and shrines in Phuket, Thailand have a long established history which forms one aspect of Phuket's international image, yet Chinese temples and shrines struggle to fund themselves and depend upon the local support of believers, businesses and international tourists. Chinese temples and shrines have the potential to attract international tourists but fail to do so as their image remains unclear to international tourists. Through clarifying their image, Chinese temples and shrines would benefit financially both directly and indirectly by enhancing their international image as cultural and heritage attractions to attract tourists. Therefore, the aim of the study is to explore the image of Chinese temples and shrines in Phuket by using a projective approach with international tourists. A total of 153 international tourists were surveyed using an accidental sampling method from seven of the most visited sites in Phuket. The survey used 19 projective questions to examine the aspect of the Chinese temple image. The results were analysed using thematic analysis and showed the significant aspects of the image as being religious, colourful, attractive , mysterious, peaceful, traditional, and unique cultural attractions. In addition, European tourists felt more feelings of peace and fascination and Asian tourists experienced more religious and traditional feelings when visiting. The study concludes that Chinese temples and shrines in Phuket are seen as cultural and heritage attractions that are considered worthwhile for visiting as they provide educational and cultural stimulus.

description: This Implementation Guide provides an overview of the video-recording practices currently in place across several Texas jurisdictions. It provides guidance and considerations for jurisdictions in the collection and use of video evidence in family violence cases. This guide is divided into seven sections, including this Background and Overview. The second section includes information for law enforcement on the purpose of video statements, how to develop and implement a video program, and considerations for sustaining a program. The third section focuses on prosecutorial practices for the use of video statements including legal considerations, coordination with partners, and victim engagement around the video statement. The fourth section provides specific information for victim advocates and includes considerations for victim privacy and confidentiality. The fifth section focuses on technology and equipment, with information on type of equipment, technology infrastructure, and efficient transfer of evidence between agencies. The sixth section is the Summary Report of the ReVEAL project. The Summary Report is a technical overview of the evaluation that includes major findings and links to the ReVEAL reports that were previously released. The seventh and final section is comprised of the appendices and provides sample protocols, site overviews, equipment charts, and additional resources that may be helpful to users of this guide. Throughout this guide, there are several examples of cases and practices that illustrate the specific issues that may present themselves when launching a video-recording program. These examples highlight the complexities of the practice while using real world examples of how video impacts family violence cases, victim safety, and privacy.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Sketches and diagrams play an important role in the daily work of software developers. In this paper, we investigate the use of sketches and diagrams in software engineering practice. To this end, we used both quantitative and qualitative methods. We present the results of an exploratory study in three companies and an online survey with 394 participants. Our participants included software developers, software architects, project managers, consultants, as well as researchers. They worked in different countries and on projects from a wide range of application areas. Most questions in the survey were related to the last sketch or diagram that the participants had created. Contrary to our expectations and previous work, the majority of sketches and diagrams contained at least some UML elements. However, most of them were informal. The most common purposes for creating sketches and diagrams were designing, explaining, and understanding, but analyzing requirements was also named often. More than half of the sketches and diagrams were created on analog media like paper or whiteboards and have been revised after creation. Most of them were used for more than a week and were archived. We found that the majority of participants related their sketches to methods, classes, or packages, but not to source code artifacts with a lower level of abstraction.

description: Concern of toxic compounds and their, potentially more harmful degradation products, present in aquatic environment alarmed scientific community and research on the development of novel technologies for wastewater treatment had become of great interest. Up to this date, many papers pointed out the challenges and limitations of conventional wastewater treatment and of some advanced oxidation processes. Advanced technologies based on the use of non-equilibrium or non-thermal plasma had been recognized as a possible solution for, not only degradation, but for complete removal of recalcitrant organic micropollutants. While previous review papers have been focused on plasma physics and chemistry of different types of discharges for few organic micropollutants, this paper brings comprehensive review of current knowledge on the chemistry and degradation pathways by using different non-thermal plasma types for several micropollutants classes, such as pharmaceuticals, perfluorinated compounds, pesticides, phenols and dyes and points out some major research gaps.

description: Energy conversion is most efficient for micro or nano machines with tight coupling between input and output power. To reach meaningful amounts of power, ensembles of $N$ such machines must be considered. We use a model system to demonstrate that interactions between $N$ tightly coupled nanomachines can enhance the power output per machine. Furthermore, while interactions break tight coupling and thus lower efficiency in finite ensembles, the macroscopic limit ($N \rightarrow \infty$) restores it and enhances both the efficiency and the output power per nanomachine.

description: Chinese (Taoist) temples and shrines in Phuket, Thailand have a long and unique history. Although Phuket remains primarily a sun, sea and sand destination, Phuket’s specific cultural tourist attractions such as Chinese temples and shrines lay dormant. Meanwhile, only Phuket’s religious Vegetarian Festival is promoted for tourist’s consumption. This study explores the image of Chinese temples and shrines in Phuket as cultural tourist attractions based on the perspectives of international tourists. The research employed a qualitative approach using open-ended questions, projective questions and projective drawing techniques to capture the image of Chinese temples and shrines in Phuket from 153 international tourists visiting Chinese temples and shrines around Phuket. The data was then analysed using content analysis. The results were triangulated to increase the reliability and validity. The overall results revealed the image of Chinese temples and shrines in Phuket as having statues, figures and gods, while being religious, traditional, fascinating, attractive, mysterious, peaceful and unique. The projective drawings identified the unique features of the Chinese temples and shrines as the altar, calligraphy, columns, the ding, pot or cauldron, objects of divination, the donation safe or box, the firecracker room, lanterns, nature, outside walls, placards, plates and signs, the roof and statues, figures and gods. In addition, Asian and European tourists were found to have different perceptions towards Chinese temples. Asian tourists related to more religious and traditional imagery than European tourists, who experienced greater feelings of peace and fascination. In conclusion, Chinese temples and shrines in Phuket are seen as being unique cultural and heritage attractions. However, the feasibility and profitability needs to be further assessed before the future development of Chinese temples and shrines in Phuket. The managerial implications of this study are also discussed.
Geometric effects in the effective-mass theory and topological optical superlattices

description: Cold atoms tailored by an optical lattice have become a fascinating arena for simulating quantum physics. In this area, one important and challenging problem is creating effective spin-orbit coupling (SOC), especially for fashioning a cold atomic gas into a topological phase, for which prevailing approaches mainly rely on the Raman coupling between the atomic internal states and a laser field. Herein, a strategy for realizing effective SOC is proposed by exploiting the geometric effects in the effective-mass theory, without resorting to internal atomic states. It is shown that the geometry of Bloch states can have nontrivial effects on the wave-mechanical states under external fields, leading to effective SOC and an effective Darwin term, which have been neglected in the standard effective-mass approximation. It is demonstrated that these relativisticlike effects can be employed to introduce effective SOC in a two-dimensional optical superlattice, and induce a nontrivial topological phase.
