description: In this paper we propose a novel defense approach against end-to-end adversarial attacks developed to fool advanced speech-to-text systems such as DeepSpeech and Lingvo. Unlike conventional defense approaches, the proposed approach does not directly employ low-level transformations such as autoencoding a given input signal aiming at removing potential adversarial perturbation. Instead of that, we find an optimal input vector for a class conditional generative adversarial network through minimizing the relative chordal distance adjustment between a given test input and the generator network. Then, we reconstruct the 1D signal from the synthesized spectrogram and the original phase information derived from the given input signal. Hence, this reconstruction does not add any extra noise to the signal and according to our experimental results, our defense-GAN considerably outperforms conventional defense algorithms both in terms of word error rate and sentence level recognition accuracy.

description: This paper discusses EPA's acquisition and use of science in two decisions under the Safe Drinking Water Act: the 1991 revision of the lead drinking water regulations and the 1995 decision to pursue additional research instead of revising the arsenic in drinking water standard. In the first case, a committed band of policy entrepreneurs within EPA mobilized and supplemented scientific information which had accumulated in the agency's air program to force lead in drinking water up the agency's regulatory agenda. In the minds of senior EPA decision-makers, there was adequate science to justify making the lead in drinking water regulation more stringent; the critical question was "how far to go" in terms of regulatory compliance expenditures. To the extent that the agency's use of science increased the regulatory benefits estimate, it could rationalize more stringent and costly regulations. In the case of arsenic in drinking water, not only the scientific uncertainties in estimating the health risks but also the regulatory compliance costs, the distribution of those costs, and the presumed public health impacts of delay were important in the decision to pursue additional research on the health risks of arsenic. However, because EPA decision-makers have failed to articulate what they consider to be compelling scientific evidence to justify departing from default risk assessment procedures in this case, it seems less likely that future research will facilitate future decision-making. Both cases illustrate impediments to the generation of scientific data needed for regulatory decision-making, the potential for scientific information to be distorted in or omitted from the regulatory decision-making process, and the key roles played by intermediaries between scientists and decision-makers within EPA.

description: Second harmonic generation and optical parametric amplification in negative-index metamaterials (NIMs) are studied. The opposite directions of the wave vector and the Poynting vector in NIMs results in a "backward" phase-matching condition, causing significant changes in the Manley-Rowe relations and spatial distributions of the coupled field intensities. It is shown that absorption in NIMs can be compensated by backward optical parametric amplification. The possibility of distributed-feedback parametric oscillation with no cavity has been demonstrated. The feasibility of the generation of entangled pairs of left- and right-handed counter-propagating photons is discussed.

Crossmodal interactions in stimulus-driven spatial attention and inhibition of return: evidence from behavioural and electrophysiological measures
Creators: name: MacDonald, John J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ten experiments examined the interactions between vision and audition in stimulusdriven spatial attention orienting and inhibition of return (IOR). IOR is the demonstration that subjects are slower to respond to stimuli that are presented at a previously stimulated location. In each experiment, subjects made go/no-go responses to peripheral targets but not to central targets. On every trial, a target was preceded by a sensory event, called a "cue," either in the same modality (intramodal conditions) or in a different modality (crossmodal conditions). The cue did not predict the location of the target stimulus in any experiment. In some experiments, the cue and target modalities were fixed and different. Under these conditions, response times to a visual target were shorter when it appeared at the same location as an auditory cue than when it appeared on the opposite side of fixation, particularly at short (100 ms) cue-target stimulus onset asynchronies (Experiments 1A and IB). Similarly, response times to an auditory target were shorter when it appeared at the same location as a visual cue than when it appeared at a location on the opposite side of fixation (Experiments 2A and 2B). These crossmodal effects indicate that stimulus-driven spatial attention orienting might arise from a single supramodal brain mechanism. IOR was not observed in either crossmodal experiment indicating that it might arise from modality specific mechanisms. However, for many subjects, IOR did occur between auditory cues and visual targets (Experiments 3A and 3B) and between visual cues and auditory targets (Experiment 4A and 4B) when the target could appear in the same modality as the cue on half of the trials. Finally, the crossmodal effects of stimulus-driven spatial attention orienting on auditory and visual event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were examined in the final two experiments. Auditory cues modulated the ERPs to visual targets and visual cues modulated the ERPs to auditory targets, demonstrating that the mechanisms for spatial attention orienting cannot be completely modality specific. However, these crossmodal ERP effects were very different from each other indicating that the mechanisms for spatial attention orienting cannot be completely shared.

description: We define a family of non local and chirally symmetric low energy lagrangians motivated by theoretical studies on Quantum Chromodynamics. These models lead to quark propagators with non trivial momentum dependencies. We define the formalism for two body bound states and apply it to the pion. We study the coupling of the photon and W bosons with special attention to the implementation of local gauge invariance. We calculate the pion decay constant recovering the Goldberger-Treiman and the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relations. We recover a form of the axial current consistent with PCAC. Finally we study the pion form factor and we construct the operators involved in its parton distribution.

The Price-Elasticity of Stumpage Sales from Federal Forests

description: This paper explores the influence of the behavior of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management on effective public policy toward the national forests. It shows that fluctuations in stumpage sales from such forests have been large. Furthermore, those fluctuations could well have a significant impact on the price elasticity of harvest even with large stocks of uncut volume under contract. System analysis of harvest and sale patterns in nine regions during the period 1951-1992 shows that stumpage sales displayed little correlation with prices during the period; the positive price elasticity of harvest seems to have been induced largely by the behavior of logging firms. However, it finds a positive link between National Forest budgets and annual sales. If budget appropriations had been negatively correlated with stumpage prices, the price elasticity of harvest from federal forests could have been severely damped.

description: Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have been intensively re-investigated due to their applications, yet the opto-electronic function of the organic cation remains unclear. Through organic-selective resonant Auger electron spectroscopy measurements on well-defined single crystal surfaces, we find evidence for electronic coupling in the unoccupied states between the organic and inorganic sub-lattices of the prototypical hybrid perovskite, which is contrary to the notion based on previous studies that the organic cation is electronically inert. The coupling is relevant for electron dynamics in the material and for understanding opto-electronic functionality.

description: Charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom underlie the physics of transition metal compounds. Much work has revealed quantum critical points associated with spin and charge degrees of freedom in many of these systems. Here we illustrate that the simplest models that embody the orbital degrees of freedom - the two- and three-dimensional quantum orbital compass models - exhibit an exact quantum critical behavior on diluted square and cubic lattices (with a doping fraction of 1/4 and 1/2 respectively). This raises the possibility of quantum critical points triggered by the degradation of orbital order upon doping (or applying pressure to) such transition metal systems. We prove the existence of an orbital spin glass in several related systems in which the orbital couplings are made non-uniform. Moreover, a new orbital Larmor precession (i.e., a periodic change in the orbital state) is predicted when uniaxial pressure is applied.

description: In spite of the macroscopic character of the primordial fluctuations, the standard inflationary distribution (that obtained using linear mode equations) exhibits inherently quantum properties, that is, properties which cannot be mimicked by any stochastic distribution. This is demonstrated by a Gedanken experiment for which certain Bell inequalities are violated. These violations are {\it in principle} measurable because, unlike for Hawking radiation from black holes, in inflationary cosmology we can have access to both members of correlated pairs of modes delivered in the same state. We then compute the effect of decoherence and show that the violations persist provided the decoherence level (and thus the entropy) lies below a certain non-vanishing threshold. Moreover, there exists a higher threshold above which no violation of any Bell inequality can occur. In this regime, the distributions are ``separable'' and can be interpreted as stochastic ensembles of fluctuations. Unfortunately, the precision which is required to have access to the quantum properties is so high that, {\it in practice}, an observational verification seems excluded.

description: Мета.Дослідження спрямоване на аналіз тактичних уподобань, технічної підготовки та рівня тактичної гнучкості футболісток Першої Ліги України. Основна увага зосереджена на виборі тактичних схем, ключових технічних навичках гравчинь різних амплуа, а також на порівнянні особливостей українського жіночого футболу із європейськими стандартами.Методи.У дослідженні використано метод анкетного опитування, в якому брали участь 23 футболістки ЖФК «Динамо-Київ» (жінки) віком 18–22 років. Аналіз отриманих даних здійснювався з використанням статистичних методів оцінки тактичних та технічних уподобань футболісток.

Результати.Встановлено, що найбільш популярною тактичною схемою серед українських футболісток є 1-4-4-2, яку підтримують 60% респонденток, тоді як 35% віддають перевагу схемі 1-4-3-3. Тактичні пріоритети гравчинь демонструють орієнтацію на командну гру, що підтверджується домінуванням колективних атакувальних та оборонних стратегій. Найважливішими технічними навичками для нападників визначено дриблінг (88%) та удари по м'ячу, для захисників – відбір м’яча (88%) та точні передачі, а для півзахисників – дальні передачі (58%) та фінти (22%). Також з’ясовано, що 98% футболісток позитивно оцінюють рівень техніко-тактичної підготовки в команді, що свідчить про ефективність застосовуваних тренувальних методик. Порівняльний аналіз українських футболісток із гравчинями європейських ліг показав, що українські спортсменки більше орієнтовані на колективну тактику, тоді як у Європі більша увага приділяється індивідуальній тактичній підготовці та тактичній адаптивності.Висновки.Отримані результати свідчать про високий рівень тактичної підготовки українських футболісток, проте існує потреба у розширенні тактичної гнучкості та адаптації європейських підходів до навчально-тренувального процесу. Впровадження сучасних методик, аналітичних технологій та індивідуальних програм розвитку сприятиме покращенню ефективності тактичних дій, підвищенню конкурентоспроможності українських команд на міжнародній арені та інтеграції національного жіночого футболу в європейський футбольний простір, враховуючи сучасні тенденції розвитку ігрових систем, персоналізації підготовки та цифрового аналізу тактичних дій.

description: We calculate the axion emission rate from reactions involving thermal pions in matter encountered in supernovae and neutron star mergers, identify unique spectral features, and explore their implications for astrophysics and particle physics. We find that it is about 2-5 times larger than nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung, which in past studies was considered to be the dominant process. The axion spectrum is also found be much harder. Together, the larger rates and higher axion energies imply a stronger bound on the mass of the QCD axion, and better prospects for direct detection in a large underground neutrino detector from a nearby galactic supernova.

Magnetic Phase Transition in the Ground-State Phase Diagram of Binary Bose Gases in Optical Lattices

description: We investigate the ground-state phase diagram of interacting binary Bose gases trapped in two-dimensional optical lattices by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Our simulations reveal a magnetic phase transition from a $x-y$ ferromagnetic-order to a spin insulator inside the Mott insulating phase with two particles per site for quasi-balanced on-site inter- and intra-particle interactions, i.e., $U_{\uparrow \downarrow} \lesssim U$. This 3D-XY transition is characterized by the establishment of a finite local magnetic moment along the $z$-axis, ferromagnetic correlations in the $x-y$ plan and by counterflow superfluidity inside the Mott phase. When decreasing $U_{\uparrow \downarrow}/U$, this transition merges with the Mott-superfluid transition and becomes first-order. The merging of the two transitions is investigated with respect to $U_{\uparrow \downarrow}/U$ parameter.

Density perturbations from both the inflaton and the curvaton

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a supersymmetric grand unified model which leads to hybrid inflation and solves the strong CP and mu problems via a Peccei-Quinn symmetry, with the Peccei-Quinn field acting as a curvaton generating together with the inflaton the curvature perturbation. The model yields an isocurvature perturbation too of mixed correlation with the adiabatic one. Two choices of parameters are confronted with the Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe and other cosmic microwave background radiation data. For the choice giving the best fitting, the curvaton contribution to the amplitude of the adiabatic perturbation must be smaller than 67% at 95% confidence level and the best-fit power spectra are dominated by the adiabatic inflaton contribution. This case is disfavored relative to the pure inflaton scale-invariant case with odds of 50 to 1. For the second choice, the adiabatic mode is dominated by the curvaton, but this case is strongly disfavored relative to the pure inflaton case (with odds of 10^7 to 1). Thus, in this model, the perturbations must be dominated by the adiabatic component from the inflaton.

description: Conformal mapping, a classical topic in complex analysis and differential geometry, has become a subject of great interest in the area of surface parameterization in recent decades with various applications in science and engineering. However, most of the existing conformal parameterization algorithms only focus on simply-connected surfaces and cannot be directly applied to surfaces with holes. In this work, we propose two novel algorithms for computing the conformal parameterization of multiply-connected surfaces. We first develop an efficient method for conformally parameterizing an open surface with one hole to an annulus on the plane. Based on this method, we then develop an efficient method for conformally parameterizing an open surface with $k$ holes onto a unit disk with $k$ circular holes. The conformality and bijectivity of the mappings are ensured by quasi-conformal theory. Numerical experiments and applications are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

description: Electroweak baryogenesis in a two-Higgs doublet model is a well-motivated and testable scenario for physics beyond the Standard Model. An attractive way of providing $CP$ violation is through flavor-changing Higgs couplings, where the top-charm coupling is hardly constrained. This minimal scenario can be tested by searching for heavy charged and neutral Higgs bosons at the LHC. While the charged Higgs signature requires a dedicated analysis, the neutral Higgs signature will be covered by a general search for same-sign top pairs. Together, they provide a conclusive test of this kind of baryogenesis.

Verbal and visual language and the question of faith in the fiction of A.S. Byatt
Creators: name: Sorensen, Susan D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study investigates the relation between faith in a transcendent reality and faith in language, both verbal and visual, in the work of English novelist and critic Antonia Byatt. Her ideal conception of communication combines the immediacy and primal vigour of the visual with the methodical pragmatism of words. However, Byatt's characters who exemplify this effort at double vision - in particular Stephanie Potter Orton in the 1985 novel Still Life - find in their quests frustration and even death rather than fulfillment. My investigation focuses on A. S. Byatt's presentation of the way language attempts to represent and interact with three particular areas: fundamental personal experiences (childbirth, death, love), perceptual and aesthetic experiences (colour and form, painting), and transcendent experiences (supernaturalism and Christian religion). I consider all stages of her career to date - from her first novel The Shadow of the Sun (1964) to Babel Tower (1996). Although Possession: A Romance (1990) has garnered most of the critical attention accorded to Byatt, I argue that this novel is not generally representative of her principles or style. A neo-Victorian romance, part parodic and part nostalgic, combined with an academic comedy, Possession shares neither the sombre mythological and psychological fatalism of her 1960s fiction nor the modified realism of her middle-period fiction. Still Life and The Matisse Stories (1993) are the works that best elucidate Byatt's major preoccupations; they intently strive to combine the most powerful aspects of verbal and visual knowledge. The methodological basis for this study is pluralist; it emphasizes close reading, combined with phenomenological, biographical, and thematic criticism. As Byatt does, I rely principally on the ideas of writers and artists rather than theorists; she cannot be understood without specific reference to George Eliot, Donne, Forster, Murdoch, Van Gogh, and Matisse (among others). Byatt's quest for truth and transcendent meaning and her investigation of the trustworthiness of words have undergone recent changes; she seems more sharply aware of the limitations of language and the unattainability of absolute truth. Her writings in the 1990s about paintings and colour emphasize their intrinsic value rather than their ability either to revitalize the word or suggest the numinous.

description: Стаття присвячена актуальній проблемі – злочинам проти людяності. Наголошено, що з початку повномасштабного вторгнення російської федерації на територію України 24 лютого 2022 р., постало гостре питання щодо кваліфікації дій не тільки військовослужбовців, а й вищого керівництва країни-агресорки відповідно до норм міжнародного права та законодавства України.

Відзначено, що виходячи із положень міжнародного гуманітарного права злочини проти людяності можуть бути вчинені лише щодо цивільного населення. На відміну від воєнних злочинів, для них не важливий контекст збройного конфлікту. Встановленню підлягають систематичність та широкомасштабність нападів проти цивільного населення. Систематичність тут означає вчинення нападів переважно за однаковою схемою, а широкомасштабність – спрямованість нападів проти щонайменше сотень тисяч людей та їхнє здійснення на значних територіях держави.

Зроблено висновок, що сьогодні в умовах реформування кримінального законодавства України та враховуючи вироблену правоохоронними органами практику є потребу в удосконаленні закону України про кримінальну відповідальність. Саме відсутність у КК України норми про злочини проти людяності не дозволяє повною мірою відобразити правову природу злочинів проти людяності як окрему категорію міжнародних злочинів, а також застосовувати більш суворі покарання.

description: Spin-dependent electronic transport through a quantum dot has been analyzed theoretically in the cotunneling regime by means of the second-order perturbation theory. The system is described by the impurity Anderson Hamiltonian with arbitrary Coulomb correlation parameter $U$. It is assumed that the dot level is intrinsically spin-split due to an effective molecular field exerted by a magnetic substrate. The dot is coupled to two ferromagnetic leads whose magnetic moments are noncollinear. The angular dependence of electric current, tunnel magnetoresistance, and differential conductance are presented and discussed. The evolution of a cotunneling gap with the angle between magnetic moments and with the splitting of the dot level is also demonstrated.

description: A recently observed bump in the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum from 0.3--30 TV is likely caused by a stellar bow shock that reaccelerates \emph{preexisting} CRs, which further propagate to the Sun along the magnetic field lines. Along their way, these particles generate an Iroshnikov-Kraichnan (I-K) turbulence that controls their propagation and sustains the bump. {\it Ad hoc} fitting of the bump shape requires six adjustable parameters. Our model requires none, merely depending on \emph{three physical unknowns that we constrain using the fit.} These are the shock Mach number, $M$, its size, $l_{\perp}$, and the distance to it, $ζ_{\text{obs}}$. Altogether, they define the bump rigidity $R_{0}$. With $M$$\approx$1.5--1.6 and $R_{0}$$\approx$4.4 TV, the model fits the data with $\approx$$0.08\%$ accuracy. The fit critically requires the I-K spectrum predicted by the model and rules out the alternatives. These fit's attributes make an accidental agreement highly unlikely. In turn, $R_{0}$ and $M$ derived from the fit impose the distance-size %($ζ_{\rm obs}$$-$$l_{\perp}$) relation on the shock: $ζ_{\rm obs}$(pc)$\sim$$10^{2}\sqrt{l_{\perp}(\text{pc})}$. For sufficiently large bow shocks, $l_{\perp}$$=$$10^{-3}$$-$$10^{-2}$ pc, we find the distance of $ζ_{\rm obs}$$=$3--10 pc. Three promising stars in this range are: Scholz's Star at 6.8 pc, Epsilon Indi at 3.6 pc, and Epsilon Eridani at 3.2 pc. Based on their current positions and velocities, we propose that Epsilon Indi and Epsilon Eridani can produce the observed spectral bump. Moreover, Epsilon Eridani's position is only $\sim$$6.7^{\circ}$ off of the magnetic field direction in the solar neighborhood, which also changes the CR arrival direction distribution. Given the proximity of these stars, the bump appearance may change in a relatively short time.

description: Controlled electromigration of gold nanowires of different cross-sectional areas to form nanogap junctions is studied using a feedback method. A linear correlation between the cross sectional area of the gold nanowires and the power dissipated in the junction during electromigration is observed, indicating that the feedback mechanism operates primarily by controlling the temperature of the junction during electromigration. We also show that the role of the external feedback circuit is to prevent thermal runaway; minimization of series resistance allows controlled electromigration to a significant range of junction resistances with a simple voltage ramp.

description: Although Galactic core-collapse supernovae (SNe) only happen a few times per century, every hour a vast number of explosions happen in the whole universe, emitting energy in the form of neutrinos, resulting in the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB). The DSNB has not yet been detected, but Super-Kamiokande doped with gadolinium is expected to yield the first statistically significant observation within the next several years. Since the neutrinos produced at the core collapse undergo mixing during their propagation to Earth, the flavor content at detection is a test of oscillation physics. In this paper, we estimate the expected DSNB data at the DUNE, Hyper-K and JUNO experiments which when combined are sensitive to all different neutrino flavors. We determine how well the flavor content of the DSNB will be reconstructed in the future, for a Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) scenario as well as a neutrino decay scenario. A large fraction of the flavor space will be excluded, but the heavy-lepton neutrino flux remains a challenge.

description: A granular mixture of particles of two sizes that is shaken vertically will in most cases segregate. If the larger particles accumulate at the top of the sample, this is called the Brazil-nut effect (BNE); if they accumulate at the bottom, the reverse Brazil-nut effect (RBNE). While this process is of great industrial importance in the handling of bulk solids, it is not well understood. In recent years ten different mechanisms have been suggested to explain when each type of segregation is observed. However, the dependence of the mechanisms on driving conditions and material parameters and hence their relative importance is largely unknown. In this paper we present experiments and simulations where both types of particles are made from the same material and shaken under low air pressure, which reduces the number of mechanisms to be considered to seven. We observe both BNE and RBNE by varying systematically the driving frequency and amplitude, diameter ratio, ratio of total volume of small to large particles, and overall sample volume. All our results can be explained by a combination of three mechanisms: a geometrical mechanism called void filling, transport of particles in sidewall-driven convection rolls, and thermal diffusion, a mechanism predicted by kinetic theory.

GOCor: Bringing Globally Optimized Correspondence Volumes into Your Neural Network

description: The feature correlation layer serves as a key neural network module in numerous computer vision problems that involve dense correspondences between image pairs. It predicts a correspondence volume by evaluating dense scalar products between feature vectors extracted from pairs of locations in two images. However, this point-to-point feature comparison is insufficient when disambiguating multiple similar regions in an image, severely affecting the performance of the end task. We propose GOCor, a fully differentiable dense matching module, acting as a direct replacement to the feature correlation layer. The correspondence volume generated by our module is the result of an internal optimization procedure that explicitly accounts for similar regions in the scene. Moreover, our approach is capable of effectively learning spatial matching priors to resolve further matching ambiguities. We analyze our GOCor module in extensive ablative experiments. When integrated into state-of-the-art networks, our approach significantly outperforms the feature correlation layer for the tasks of geometric matching, optical flow, and dense semantic matching. The code and trained models will be made available at github.com/PruneTruong/GOCor.

Publisher: name: DataCite
Year: 2024

description: DataCite, in partnership with Metadata Game Changers, is excited to announce two community dialogue sessions designed to engage the broader Life Sciences and Astronomy communities in co-developing metadata enhancements supporting the development and use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for instruments and projects. We would like to invite both metadata creators and users to join us and take an active role in advancing infrastructure solutions to identify, describe, discover, and track the impact of instruments and projects across domain communities.

The Persistent Identifiers for Instruments Community Dialogue will build on the work of the Persistent Identification of Instruments (PIDInst) group and the FAIR Facilities and Instruments Research Coordination Network.

Topics will include:

Ownership & provenance

Series & versioning

Replicability & reuse

Discoverability

Impact measurement

These dialogues represent the first phase of a larger project recently launched by DataCite. Generously funded by the Richard Lounsbery Foundation, this project aims to address present challenges in data accessibility, transparency, and reproducibility across the Life Science and Astronomy communities by fostering collaboration and developing transformative solutions. Insights, feedback, and proposed metadata enhancements gathered during these dialogues will directly inform subsequent prototype developments designed by DataCite.

Color-octet scalars in Dirac gaugino models with broken $R$ symmetry

Year: 2020

description: In this work we study the collider phenomenology of color-octet scalars (sgluons) in supersymmetric models with Dirac gaugino masses that feature an explicitly broken $R$ symmetry ($R$-broken models). We construct such models by augmenting minimal $R$-symmetric models with a fairly general set of supersymmetric and softly supersymmetry-breaking operators that explicitly break $R$ symmetry. We then compute the rates of all significant two-body decays and highlight new features that appear as a result of $R$ symmetry breaking, including enhancements to extant decay rates, novel tree- and loop-level decays, and improved cross sections of single sgluon production. We demonstrate in some detail how the familiar results from minimal $R$-symmetric models can be obtained by restoring $R$ symmetry. In parallel to this discussion, we explore constraints on these models from the Large Hadron Collider. We find that, in general, $R$ symmetry breaking quantitatively affects existing limits on color-octet scalars, perhaps closing loopholes for light CP-odd (pseudoscalar) sgluons while opening one for a light CP-even (scalar) particle. Qualitatively, however, we find that -- much as for minimal $R$-symmetric models, despite stark differences in phenomenology -- scenarios with broken $R$ symmetry and two sgluons below the TeV scale can be accommodated by existing searches.

Early Cosmic Chemical Evolution: Relating the Origin of a Diffuse Intergalactic Medium and the First Long-Lived Stars

description: Nucleosynthetic signatures in common between the gas responsible for the high redshift Lyman alpha forest and a subsample of extremely metal poor stars are found. A simple mass loss model of chemical evolution with physically motivated parameters provides a consistent picture in which the gas is identified with that lost by supernova-driven winds during the first generation of star formation. Substantial mass loss occurs which can account for a diffuse IGM with up to 80% of the total baryon content and a peak [C-O/H] abundance of \~-2.9. This mass loss component differs from one produced later during galaxy formation and evolution that contributes to a circum-galactic medium (CGM). The CGM was shown earlier to have a mass of ~10% of all baryons and peak [Fe/H]~-1.

Variable Horizon MPC with Swing Foot Dynamics for Bipedal Walking Control

description: In this paper, we present a novel two-level variable Horizon Model Predictive Control (VH-MPC) framework for bipedal locomotion. In this framework, the higher level computes the landing location and timing (horizon length) of the swing foot to stabilize the unstable part of the center of mass (CoM) dynamics, using feedback from the CoM states. The lower level takes into account the swing foot dynamics and generates dynamically consistent trajectories for landing at the desired time as close as possible to the desired location. To do that, we use a simplified model of the robot dynamics projected in swing foot space that takes into account joint torque constraints as well as the friction cone constraints of the stance foot. We show the effectiveness of our proposed control framework by implementing robust walking patterns on our torque-controlled and open-source biped robot, Bolt. We report extensive simulations and real robot experiments in the presence of various disturbances and uncertainties.
