Packing While Traveling: Mixed Integer Programming for a Class of Nonlinear Knapsack Problems
Creators: name: Polyakovskiy, Sergey

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Packing and vehicle routing problems play an important role in the area of supply chain management. In this paper, we introduce a non-linear knapsack problem that occurs when packing items along a fixed route and taking into account travel time. We investigate constrained and unconstrained versions of the problem and show that both are NP-hard. In order to solve the problems, we provide a pre-processing scheme as well as exact and approximate mixed integer programming (MIP) solutions. Our experimental results show the effectiveness of the MIP solutions and in particular point out that the approximate MIP approach often leads to near optimal results within far less computation time than the exact approach.
Two-dimensional superconformal field theories from Riemann surfaces with boundary

description: We consider a 2-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) obtained from twisted compactification of the 4-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on a Riemann surface with boundary. We find the boundary conditions to preserve some of the supersymmetry. In particular an N=(2,2) superconformal field theory is obtained from supersymmetry breaking due to the boundary from N=(4,4). In this case we calculate the central charge of the CFT and show its dependence on the topology of the Riemann surface.

description: We used data on a national sample of children involved with child welfare systems to compare American Indian caregivers with White, Black, and Hispanic caregivers in their need for, and receipt of, specialty alcohol, drug, and mental health treatment. American Indian caregivers were significantly less likely to receive services than were Hispanic caregivers (P<.05) but not significantly less likely than were White or Black caregivers. Child placement, child age, and caregiver psychiatric comorbidity were significantly associated with service receipt.

Non-Global Parikh Tree Automata
Creators: name: Herrmann, Luisa

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Formal Languages and Automata Theory (cs.FL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Parikh (tree) automata are an expressive and yet computationally well-behaved extension of finite automata -- they allow to increment a number of counters during their computations, which are finally tested by a semilinear constraint. In this work, we introduce and investigate a new perspective on Parikh tree automata (PTA): instead of testing one counter configuration that results from the whole input tree, we implement a non-global automaton model. Here, we copy and distribute the current configuration at each node to all its children, incrementing the counters pathwise, and check the arithmetic constraint at each leaf. We obtain that the classes of tree languages recognizable by global PTA and non-global PTA are incomparable. In contrast to global PTA, the non-emptiness problem is undecidable for non-global PTA if we allow the automata to work with at least three counters, whereas the membership problem stays decidable. However, for a restriction of the model, where counter configurations are passed in a linear fashion to at most one child node, we can prove decidability of the non-emptiness problem.

description: In this paper, we continue the research on the power of contextual grammars with selection languages from subfamilies of the family of regular languages. We investigate various comet-like types of languages and compare such language families to some other subregular families of languages (finite, monoidal, nilpotent, combinational, (symmetric) definite, ordered, non-counting, power-separating, suffix-closed, commutative, circular, or union-free languages). Further, we compare the language families defined by these types for the selection with each other and with the families of the hierarchy obtained for external contextual grammars. In this way, we extend the existing hierarchy by new language families.

Building a Sustained Effort Around Equitable Long-Term Resilience: Proposing a Community of Practice Framework in the Federal Sector
Creators: name: Tyagi, Kartik
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Background: There has been an increasing focus on building resilience, defined as the capacity of people, communities, and systems to equitably adapt, prepare, and recover from episodic, persistent, and layered stressors and shocks to thrive together. In complement with external efforts, leaders in the federal sector have identified the critical need to structure federal resources to advance long-term equitable resilience within the context of the Federal Plan for Equitable Long-Term Recovery and Resilience. Creating a community of practice (CoP) framework to share and exchange insight in the context of the Federal Plan can prove to have great utility – supporting the creation of a culture of learning and of collaborative engagement around the movement of achieving equitable resilience. 

Methods: Seven qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to better understand CoP principles and core practices aligned with the fulfillment of aforementioned research questions. To develop the interview sample, leading figures within the CoP and systems change fields, as well as state, federal, and civil sectors whose backgrounds, areas of expertise, and lived experiences aligned with the scope of this study, were identified. A thematic analysis was employed to identify and analyze themes found in qualitative interviews to inform previously identified research questions.

Findings: Experts discussed several themes, including key facilitating qualities of effective communities of practice, barriers towards achieving effective communities of practice, as well as wider implications of the CoP model, including organizational and systems change orientations and building muscle around coordinated policy action. Insights were leveraged to generate “prioritized values” of effective CoPs as well a CoP conceptual model and applied in the context of the Federal Plan with relevant core implementation strategies.

Conclusions: Leveraging the developed CoP models will propel systems change and advance the movement to achieve and build resilience. The insights generated from this work will support the development of a community of practice in the federal landscape, enabling the long-term alignment of federal actions to integrate recommendations that build individual and community resilience by addressing identified needs. Short and long-term feasibility questions, budgetary implications, and ongoing Federal Plan alignment opportunities are all considerations to prioritize for those supporting this work in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health as partner engagement and momentum continue to rise.

Repetitive Finite Automata With Translucent Letters

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Formal Languages and Automata Theory (cs.FL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Here we propose an extension of the (deterministic and the nondeterministic) finite automaton with translucent letters (DFAwtl and NFAwtl), which lies between these automata and their non-returning variants (that is, the nr-DFAwtl and the nr-NFAwtl). This new model works like a DFAwtl or an NFAwtl, but on seeing the end-of-tape marker, it may change its internal state and continue with its computation instead of just ending it, accepting or rejecting. This new type of automaton is called a repetitive deterministic or nondeterministic finite automaton with translucent letters (RDFAwtl or RNFAwtl). In the deterministic case, the new model is strictly more expressive than the DFAwtl, but less expressive than the nr-DFAwtl, while in the nondeterministic case, the new model is equivalent to the NFAwtl.

description: We obtain a general connection between a quantum advantage in communication complexity and non-locality. We show that given any protocol offering a (sufficiently large) quantum advantage in communication complexity, there exists a way of obtaining measurement statistics which violate some Bell inequality. Our main tool is port-based teleportation. If the gap between quantum and classical communication complexity can grow arbitrarily large, the ratio of the quantum value to the classical value of the Bell quantity becomes unbounded with the increase in the number of inputs and outputs.

description: We investigate recent results for the electrical conductivity and the fermionic self-energy, obtained in a holographic bottom-up model for a relativistic charge-neutral conformal field theory. We present two possible field-theoretic derivations of these results, using either a semiholographic or a holographic point of view. In the semiholographic interpretation, we also show how, in general, the conductivity should be calculated in agreement with Ward identities. The resulting field-theory interpretation may lead to a better understanding of the holographic dictionary in applied AdS/CMT.

Estimation of temporal separation of slow light pulses in atomic vapors by weak measurement

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We show how two circular polarization components of a linearly polarized pulse, propagating through a coherently driven dilute atomic vapor, can be well resolved in time domain by weak measurement. Slower group velocity of one of the components due to electromagnetically induced transparency leads to a differential group delay between the two components. For low number density, this delay may not be large enough to temporally resolve the two components. We show how this can be enhanced in terms of mean time of arrival of the output pulse through a post-selected polarizer. We demonstrate the idea with all the analytical and numerical results, with a specific example of alkali atoms.
5' -> 3' Watson-Crick Automata accepting Necklaces
Creators: name: Nagy, Benedek
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Formal Languages and Automata Theory (cs.FL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Watson-Crick (WK) finite automata work on a Watson-Crick tape representing a DNA molecule. They have two reading heads. In 5'->3' WK automata, the heads move and read the input in opposite physical directions. In this paper, we consider such inputs which are necklaces, i.e., they represent circular DNA molecules. In sensing 5'->3' WK automata, the computation on the input is finished when the heads meet. As the original model is capable of accepting the linear context-free languages, the necklace languages we are investigating here have strong relations to that class. Here, we use these automata in two different acceptance modes. On the one hand, in weak acceptance mode the heads are starting nondeterministically at any point of the input, like the necklace is cut at a nondeterministically chosen point), and if the input is accepted, it is in the accepted necklace language. These languages can be seen as the languages obtained from the linear context-free languages by taking their closure under cyclic shift operation. On the other hand, in strong acceptance mode, it is required that the input is accepted starting the heads in the computation from every point of the cycle. These languages can be seen as the maximal cyclic shift closed languages included in a linear language. On the other hand, as it will be shown, they have a kind of locally testable property. We present some hierarchy results based on restricted variants of the WK automata, such as stateless or all-final variants.

description: If dark energy --- which drives the accelerated expansion of the universe --- consists of a light scalar field, it might be detectable as a "fifth force" between normal-matter objects, in potential conflict with precision tests of gravity. Chameleon fields and other theories with screening mechanisms, however, can evade these tests by suppressing the forces in regions of high density, such as the laboratory. Using a cesium matter-wave interferometer near a spherical mass in an ultra-high vacuum chamber, we reduce the screening mechanism by probing the field with individual atoms rather than bulk matter. Thus, we constrain a wide class of dark energy theories, including a range of chameleon and other theories that reproduce the observed cosmic acceleration.

Shedding light on the geometry of neutron star mergers with kilonova polarimetry
Creators: name: Bulla, Mattia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The detection of an electromagnetic counterpart to the gravitational-wave source GW170817 marked year zero of the multi-messenger gravitational-wave era. This event was generated by the merger of two neutron stars and gave rise to an electromagnetic transient, dubbed a "kilonova", which was intensively monitored with all the main ground-based and space-borne facilities. The general agreement between existing models and data is remarkable. However, critical parameters like the inclination of the system and the distribution and composition of the ejecta components are still uncertain despite their being crucial to e.g. calculate kilonova rates, compare yields to cosmic abundances and estimate the Hubble constant. In this talk, I will show how linear polarimetry can unveil some of these properties, which are not easily constrained through the analysis of light curves and spectra alone. I will focus on a detailed analysis of the linear polarization expected from kilonovae resulting from both binary neutron star and neutron star - black hole mergers. I will highlight how the detection of a signal in future events will place constraints on the system inclination, unambiguously reveal the ejecta composition and unveil its spatial and angular distribution.

Extension to the case of higher odd order equations of motion is also considered.

description: It is known that the Wadge reducibility of regular $ω$-languages is efficiently decidable (Krishnan et al., 1995), (Wilke, Yoo, 1995). In this paper we study analogous problem for regular k-partitions of $ω$-languages. In the series of previous papers (Selivanov, 2011), (Alaev, Selivanov, 2021), (Selivanov, 2012) there was a partial progress towards obtaining an efficient algorithm for deciding the Wadge reducibility in this setting as well. In this paper we finalize this line of research providing a quadratic algorithm (in RAM model). For this we construct a quadratic algorithm to decide a preorder relation on iterated posets. Additionally, we discuss the size of the representation of regular $ω$-languages and suggest a more compact way to represent them. The algorithm we provide is efficient for the more compact representation as well.

description: Several case reports describe hypoglycemia in the context of venlafaxine overdose, while investigations at therapeutic dose suggested a neutral effect on glucose homeostasis. Studies on hypoglycemia in venlafaxine intoxication are lacking. Single-center retrospective cohort study of non-diabetic patients presenting with a laboratory-confirmed antidepressant overdose to the department of clinical toxicology of a tertiary care hospital over a 12-year period. Our main goal was to investigate the association of hypoglycemia as the primary outcome with venlafaxine exposure using multiple logistic regression. Multi-drug exposures were included. We further aimed to describe the association of blood glucose (BG)/hypoglycemia with antidepressant dose, seizures and length of hospital stay. 525 antidepressant intoxications were included, 85 of which involved venlafaxine. Hypoglycemia occurred in 34.1% (29/85) of venlafaxine intoxications and in 10.7% (47/440) of non-venlafaxine antidepressant overdoses. Venlafaxine exposure was significantly associated with hypoglycemia (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 6.6, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.5–12.6). Venlafaxine-associated hypoglycemia was mainly mild (BG: 51–70 mg/dL), in 75.8% of cases, to moderate (BG: 31–50 mg/dL), in 20.7%, with one case of severe hypoglycemia (BG: 30 mg/dL). BG was significantly inversely correlated with dose in the venlafaxine group (Spearman’s correlation coefficient: −0.47, p = 0.002) but not in other commonly prescribed antidepressants. Regardless of venlafaxine exposure, hypoglycemia was associated with seizures (adjusted OR: 5.3, 95% CI: 2.6–10.6) and with a 2.7 day increase in hospital length of stay (95% CI: 1.3–4.2). A dose-related, mild to moderate hypoglycemia occurred in over one-third of venlafaxine poisonings. In overdose of other antidepressants, hypoglycemia was seen less frequently and without significant dose-dependency. Regardless of venlafaxine exposure, hypoglycemia was associated with seizures and prolonged length of stay, although these factors are likely primarily determined by other toxicities. BG monitoring in venlafaxine overdose should be considered.
The Failure of the 'Conservative Democrat' Model? The Political Evolution of the Justice and Development Party (AKP)
Creators: name: Varoglu, Bekir

description: Despite having a highly secular state structure since the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, democratic credentials have suffered a severe blow resulting from the pathological state-religion relationship. The Turkish model of secularism has steadily undermined democratic norms and accountability as a result of the erosion of religious pluralism. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) has sought to transform the Kemalist model of secularism and claimed to propose a more plural and inclusive model. Thus, the relationship between religion and state in Turkey has attracted considerable research attention. Over the last decade of rule in Turkey under the AKP, the earlier promises of democratisation and comprehensive political reforms have given way to an authoritarian turn. The thesis examines the role and function of religion in the formation of the authoritarian regime in Turkey under the rule of the AKP. This thesis is informed by post-secularism and its notion of the state-religion interaction in secular regimes. This thesis reframes Habermas’s (2008) understanding of post-secular society as the most democratic and plural model and outlines three basic requirements for post-secular formations: the separation of religion and state, the balance between shared citizenship and cultural difference and the complementary learning process. The thesis then uses this theoretical framework to analyse the relationship between religion and state in Turkey, focusing on how it evolves and exerts influence on the rise of authoritarian tendencies. It highlights that Turkey's particular model of secularism is not marked by the principle of separation of religion and state but instead the strict state control and regulation over religious affairs. It also critically analyses how and to what extent the AKP has transformed the relationship between religion and state in Turkey and/or how operating in the secular political sphere, shapes the policies of the party in regards to religious pluralism. The thesis concludes that the AKP has maintained strict state control over religion as a vehicle to execute the Islamic social and political transformation that led to marginalisation of social dissidents, polarisation of society and the weakening of religious pluralism.

description: The Extended Church-Turing Thesis (ECTT) posits that all effective information processing, including unbounded and non-uniform interactive computations, can be described in terms of interactive Turing machines with advice. Does this assertion also apply to the abilities of contemporary large language models (LLMs)? From a broader perspective, this question calls for an investigation of the computational power of LLMs by the classical means of computability and computational complexity theory, especially the theory of automata. Along these lines, we establish a number of fundamental results. Firstly, we argue that any fixed (non-adaptive) LLM is computationally equivalent to a, possibly very large, deterministic finite-state transducer. This characterizes the base level of LLMs. We extend this to a key result concerning the simulation of space-bounded Turing machines by LLMs. Secondly, we show that lineages of evolving LLMs are computationally equivalent to interactive Turing machines with advice. The latter finding confirms the validity of the ECTT for lineages of LLMs. From a computability viewpoint, it also suggests that lineages of LLMs possess super-Turing computational power. Consequently, in our computational model knowledge generation is in general a non-algorithmic process realized by lineages of LLMs. Finally, we discuss the merits of our findings in the broader context of several related disciplines and philosophies.

CP-Invariance Violation at Short-Baseline Experiments in 3+1 Neutrino Scenarios

description: New neutrino degrees of freedom allow for more sources of CP-invariance violation (CPV). We explore the requirements for accessing CP-odd mixing parameters in the so-called 3+1 scenario, where one assumes the existence of one extra, mostly sterile neutrino degree of freedom, heavier than the other three mass eigenstates. As a first step, we concentrate on the nu_e to nu_mu appearance channel in a hypothetical, upgraded version of the nuSTORM proposal. We establish that the optimal baseline for CPV studies depends strongly on the value of Delta m^2_14 -- the new mass-squared difference -- and that the ability to observe CPV depends significantly on whether the experiment is performed at the optimal baseline. Even at the optimal baseline, it is very challenging to see CPV in 3+1 scenarios if one considers only one appearance channel. Full exploration of CPV in short-baseline experiments will require precision measurements of tau-appearance, a challenge significantly beyond what is currently being explored by the experimental neutrino community.

description: We report the electronic characterization of mesoscopic Hall bar devices fabricated from coupled InAs/GaSb quantum wells sandwiched between AlSb barriers, an emerging candidate for two-dimensional topological insulators. The electronic width of the etched structures was determined from the low field magneto-resistance peak, a characteristic signature of partially diffusive boundary scattering in the ballistic limit. In case of dry-etching the electronic width was found to decrease with electron density. In contrast, for wet etched devices it stayed constant with density. Moreover, the boundary scattering was found to be more specular for wet-etched devices, which may be relevant for studying topological edge states.

description: Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are among the most powerful and violent events in the Universe. Despite half a century of observations of these transient sources, many open questions remain about their nature and the physical emission mechanisms at play. Polarization measurements of the GRB prompt emission have long been theorized to be able to answer most of these questions. With the aim of characterizing the polarization of these prompt emissions, a compact Gamma-Ray polarimeter has been sent to space as part of the Tiangong-2 Chinese space lab for 6 months of operations starting September 2016. Developed by a Swiss, Chinese, and Polish collaboration, the instrument detected 55 GRBs as well as several pulsars. Time integrated polarization analysis of the POLAR GRB catalog shown that the prompt emission is lowly polarized or fully unpolarized. However, time resolved analysis depicted strong hints of an evolving polarization angle within single pulses, washing out the polarization degree in time integrated analyses. Since these firsts results, more detailed analysis has been performed which will be presented. Based on the success of the POLAR mission, a larger scale instrument, approved for launch to the China Space Station (CSS) in 2024, is currently developed by a Swiss, Chinese, Polish, and German collaboration. Thanks to its large sensitivity, POLAR-2 will produce polarization measurements of at least 50 GRBs per year with a precision equal or higher than the best results published by POLAR, allowing for good quality time and energy resolved analysis. Furthermore, thanks to its large effective area which exceeds 2000cm^2 at 100 keV, POLAR-2 will be able to observe faint GRBs such as 170817A and will be capable of sending alerts of such transients, including localization information to ground within seconds to minutes. POLAR-2 thereby not only aims to make the prompt polarization a standard observable, it will additionally play an important role in multi-messenger observations.

description: New explicit as well as manifestly symmetric three-term summationformulas are derived for the Clausenian hypergeometric series $_3F_2(1)$ with negative integral parameter differences. Our results generalize and naturally extend several similar relations published, in recent years, by many authors. An appropriate and useful connection is established with the quite underestimated 1974 paper by P. W. Karlsson.

description: We examined prevalence and predictors of trauma among HIV-infected persons in the Deep South using data from the Coping with HIV/AIDS in the Southeast (CHASE) study. Over 50% of CHASE participants were abused during their lives, with approximately 30% experiencing abuse before age 13, regardless of gender. Caregiver characteristics were associated with childhood abuse. Abuse is related to increases in high–HIV-risk activities. The findings help explain why people engage in such high-risk activities and can provide guidance in designing improved care and prevention messages.
