description: In the last few years, research and development on Deep Learning models and techniques for ultra-low-power devices in a word, TinyML has mainly focused on a train-then-deploy assumption, with static models that cannot be adapted to newly collected data without cloud-based data collection and fine-tuning. Latent Replay-based Continual Learning (CL) techniques[1] enable online, serverless adaptation in principle, but so farthey have still been too computation and memory-hungry for ultra-low-power TinyML devices, which are typically based on microcontrollers. In this work, we introduce a HW/SW platform for end-to-end CL based on a 10-core FP32-enabled parallel ultra-low-power (PULP) processor. We rethink the baseline Latent Replay CL algorithm, leveraging quantization of the frozen stage of the model and Latent Replays (LRs) to reduce their memory cost with minimal impact on accuracy. In particular, 8-bit compression of the LR memory proves to be almost lossless (-0.26% with 3000LR) compared to the full-precision baseline implementation, but requires 4x less memory, while 7-bit can also be used with an additional minimal accuracy degradation (up to 5%). We also introduce optimized primitives for forward and backward propagation on the PULP processor. Our results show that by combining these techniques, continual learning can be achieved in practice using less than 64MB of memory an amount compatible with embedding in TinyML devices. On an advanced 22nm prototype of our platform, called VEGA, the proposed solution performs onaverage 65x faster than a low-power STM32 L4 microcontroller, being 37x more energy efficient enough for a lifetime of 535h when learning a new mini-batch of data once every minute.

description: We calculate the effective spatial dimension $d_\text{IR}$ of electron modes at critical points of 3D Anderson models in various universality classes (O,U,S,AIII). The results are equal within errors, and suggest the super-universal value $d_\text{IR} \!=\! 2.665(3) \!\approx\! 8/3$. The existence of such a unique marker may help identify natural processes driven by Anderson localization, and provide new insight into the spatial geometry of Anderson transitions. The recently introduced $d_\text{IR}$ is a measure-based dimension of Minkowski/Hausdorff type, designed to characterize probability-induced effective subsets.

description: From a letter to the School's director “What I think about my school”, students identified problems and designed a project in order to have a direct intervention in the solution. Under the theme "Biodiversity", the project aimed to create an "edible garden" at school and involved different activities: planting trees, identifying the existing ones, growing vegetables, composting and collecting rainwater for irrigation, were some of them. The construction of the gardens respected the underground life and the planting was done taking into account the intercropping of plants. Whenever possible, the project was linked to the students' curriculum. The project also had an artistic aspect: students and elderly people grafitted one of the walls νext to the vegetable gardens, taking advantage of an autarchy project entitled “Active aging”.
Efficient classical simulation of the Deutsch-Jozsa and Simon's algorithms

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: A long-standing aim of quantum information research is to understand what gives quantum computers their advantage. This requires separating problems that need genuinely quantum resources from those for which classical resources are enough. Two examples of quantum speed-up are the Deutsch-Jozsa and Simon's problem, both efficiently solvable on a quantum Turing machine, and both believed to lack efficient classical solutions. Here we present a framework that can simulate both quantum algorithms efficiently, solving the Deutsch-Jozsa problem with probability 1 using only one oracle query, and Simon's problem using linearly many oracle queries, just as expected of an ideal quantum computer. The presented simulation framework is in turn efficiently simulatable in a classical probabilistic Turing machine. This shows that the Deutsch-Jozsa and Simon's problem do not require any genuinely quantum resources, and that the quantum algorithms show no speed-up when compared with their corresponding classical simulation. Finally, this gives insight into what properties are needed in the two algorithms, and calls for further study of oracle separation between quantum and classical computation.

description: We develop our previous study of the transition to deconfined quark phase in neutron stars, including the interaction in the quark equation of state to the leading order in the perturbative expansion within the confinement density-dependent mass model. Using the Gibbs conditions the hadron-quark mixed phase is constructed matching the latter with the hadron equation of state derived from the microscopic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation. The influence of quark interaction parameters on threshold properties and phase diagram of dense neutron star matter are discussed in detail. We find that the leading-order quark interaction expands the density range of the mixed phase, pushing forward the disappearance of the hadron phase. Moreover, since the equation of state could turn out to be stiffer, a high-mass hybrid star is possible with mixed-phase core with typical parameter sets.

description: Understanding heat generation and transport processes in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is a significant step towards improving its application in current memory devices. Recent work has experimentally demonstrated the magneto-Seebeck effect in MTJs, where the Seebeck coefficient of the junction varies as the magnetic configuration changes from a parallel (P) to an anti-parallel (AP) configuration. Here we report the study on its as-yet-unexplored reciprocal effect, the magneto-Peltier effect, where the heat flow carried by the tunneling electrons is altered by changing the magnetic configuration of the MTJ. The magneto-Peltier signal that reflects the change in the temperature difference across the junction between the P and AP configurations scales linearly with the applied current in the small bias but is greatly enhanced in the large bias regime, due to higher-order Joule heating mechanisms. By carefully extracting the linear response which reflects the magneto-Peltier effect, and comparing it with the magneto-Seebeck measurements performed on the same device, we observe results consistent with Onsager reciprocity. We estimate a magneto-Peltier coefficient of 13.4 mV in the linear regime using a three-dimensional thermoelectric model. Our result opens up the possibility of programmable thermoelectric devices based on the Peltier effect in MTJs.
On Penrose's theory of objective gravitationally induced wave function reduction

description: The formal structure of Penrose's gravitationally induced reduction of the wave function mechanism is analyzed. It is shown that pushing Penrose's argument forward leads to the interpretation of quantum coherence in microscopic systems as an observable signature violation of general covariance. We discuss potential avenues to avoid this conclusion, among them emergent quantum mechanics and super-determinism.

Electronic and vibrational properties of $\textup{TiSe}_2$ in the charge-density wave phase from first principles

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the charge-density wave phase in $\textup{TiSe}_2$ by using first principle calculations. We show that, regardless of the local functional used and as long as the cell parameters are in agreement with the experiment, density-functional calculations are able to reproduce not only the structural instability of $\textup{TiSe}_2$, but also the effective distortion observed in the experiments. We study the electronic structure evolution of the system under the charge-density wave deformation. In particular, we show that the energy bands for the distorted superstructure, unfolded into the original Brillouin zone, are in reasonable agreement with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data taken at low temperature. On the contrary, the energy bands for the undistorted structure are not in good agreement with ARPES at high temperature. Motivated by these results, we investigate the effect of the correlation on the electrons of the localized Ti-$d$ orbitals by using the LDA+$U$ method. We show that within this approximation the electronic bands for both the undistorted and distorted structure are in very good agreement with ARPES. On the other hand, the $U$ eliminates the phonon instability of the system. Some possible explanations for this counter intuitive result are proposed. Particularly, the possibility of taking into account the dependence of the parameter $U$ from the atomic positions is suggested.

Mobile Selective Exposure: Confirmation Bias and Impact of Social Cues during Mobile News Consumption in the United States

description: Concerns about online news consumption have proliferated, with some evidence suggesting a heightened impact of the confirmation bias and social cues online. This paper argues that mobile media may further shape selective exposure to political content. We conducted two online selective exposure experiments to investigate whether browsing political content on smartphones (vs. computers) facilitates selective exposure to attitude-consistent vs. attitude-discrepant articles (confirmation bias) with high vs. low views (impact of social cues). Notably, these studies leveraged novel random assignment techniques and a custom-designed, mobile-compatible news website. Using a student sample, Study 1 (N = 157) revealed weak evidence that the confirmation bias is stronger on smartphones than computers, and the impact of social cues was similar across devices. Study 2 (N = 156) attempted to replicate these findings in a general population sample. The impact of social cues remained similar across devices, but the confirmation bias was not stronger on smartphones than computers. Overall, the confirmation bias (but not the impact of social cues) manifested on smartphones, and neither outcome was consistently stronger on smartphones than computers.
Qualitative Descriptors Used by Patients Following Orthognathic Surgery to Portray Altered Sensation

description: Following orthognathic surgery, patients use qualitatively different words to describe the altered sensation on their face that results from tissue inflammation and nerve injury. These words indicate normal, hypoesthetic, paresthetic, and dysesthetic sensations, and reflect the intrusiveness of the alteration. Our intent was to study the words chosen by patients from a standardized list to characterize sensory recovery during the first 6 months after surgery and to examine whether patients who underwent different surgical procedures tended to choose different sets of words.
On the nature of the mass-gap object in the GW190814 event

description: In this work, we make a very extensive study on the conditions that allow the mass-gap object in the GW190814 event to be faced as a degenerate star instead of a black hole. We begin revisiting some parametrizations of the Quantum Hadrodynamics (QHD) and then study under which conditions the hyperons are present in such a massive star. Afterward, using a vector MIT based model, we study if self-bound quark stars, satisfying the Bodmer-Witten conjecture fulfill all the observational constraints. Finally, we study hybrid stars within a Maxwell construction and check for what values of the bag, as well as the vector interaction, a quark core star with only nucleons, and with nucleons admixed with hyperons can reach at least 2.50 M$_\odot$. We conclude that, depending on the choice of parameters, none of the possibilities can be completely ruled out, i.e., the mass-gap object can be a hadronic (either nucleonic or hyperonic), a quark, or a hybrid star. However, some cases are more probable than others.

description: Objective In contrast to prior work, recent theory suggests that high, not low, levels of adolescent peer popularity may be associated with health risk behavior. This study examined (a) whether popularity may be uniquely associated with cigarette use, marijuana use, and sexual risk behavior, beyond the predictive effects of aggression; (b) whether the longitudinal association between popularity and health risk behavior may be curvilinear; and (c) gender moderation. Methods A total of 336 adolescents, initially in 10–11th grades, reported cigarette use, marijuana use, and number of sexual intercourse partners at two time points 18 months apart. Sociometric peer nominations were used to examine popularity and aggression. Results Longitudinal quadratic effects and gender moderation suggest that both high and low levels of popularity predict some, but not all, health risk behaviors. Conclusions New theoretical models can be useful for understanding the complex manner in which health risk behaviors may be reinforced within the peer context.

description: Various microlevel circular economy indicators for assessing sustainability and, partly, additional sustainability characteristics have been developed, but an integrated solution considering the environmental, social, and economic pillars remains a research gap. Method: Based on a multimethod approach, including surveys and the analysis of existing sustainability assessment methodologies and standards, this paper proposes a concept for a multidimensional circular economy indicator tailored to public procurers. It relies on attractive existing building blocks including: (1) the ecological scarcity method, (2) European and international sustainability standards and indicators, and (3) the STAR-ProBio-IAT concept. Results: This article presents the concept of the composite indicator Triple-C, consisting of 20 elements and aimed at facilitating sustainable circular public procurement. It is intended to be incorporated into software that facilitates sustainable product decisions among public procurers in Germany. Conclusions: We propose a generic indicator concept covering all three (environmental, social, and economic) sustainability pillars. More research and additional standards are needed to develop the Triple-C concept further into product-specific applications.

description: Objectives This study utilized e-diaries to evaluate whether components of emotion regulation predict daily pain and function in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods 43 children ages 8–17 years and their caregivers provided baseline reports of child emotion regulation. Children then completed thrice daily e-diary assessments of emotion, pain, and activity involvement for 28 days. E-diary ratings of negative and positive emotions were used to calculate emotion variability and to infer adaptive emotion modulation following periods of high or low emotion intensity. Hierarchical linear models were used to evaluate how emotion regulation related to pain and function. Results The attenuation of negative emotion following a period of high negative emotion predicted reduced pain; greater variability of negative emotion predicted higher pain and increased activity limitation. Indices of positive emotion regulation also significantly predicted pain. Conclusions Components of emotion regulation as captured by e-diaries predict important health outcomes in children with JIA.

description: Magnetic skyrmions and their anti-particles, the antiskyrmions, are stable magnetic solitons existing down to the nanometer scale. Their stability and size as well as the possibility to propel them by, e.g., electric currents make them promising candidates for the use in memory devices, such as racetrack memories. Skyrmions and antiskyrmions share those same advantages individually, but may annihilate each other when they coexist in the same device. Yet, combining them to represent logical bits of 0 (skyrmion) and 1 (antiskyrmion) in one device opens new possibilities to create new types of densely packed racetrack memory devices. For this, a controlled creation and annihilation procedure, i.e., a writing or deletion operation, is necessary. Here, we propose a method to create arbitrary sequences of coexisting skyrmions and antiskyrmions by rotations of the magnetic moments at the edge of a rectangular slab. The skyrmions and antiskyrmions remain stable and do not annihilate each other.

description: Electric currents in solar active regions are thought to provide the energy released via magnetic reconnection in solar flares. Vertical electric current densities $J_z$ at the photosphere may be estimated from vector magnetogram data, subject to substantial uncertainties. The values provide boundary conditions for nonlinear force- free modelling of active region magnetic fields. A method is presented for estimating values of $J_z$ taking into account uncertainties in vector magnetogram field values, and minimizing $J_z^2$ across the active region. The method is demonstrated using the boundary values of the field for a force-free twisted bipole, with the addition of noise at randomly chosen locations.

description: Nonparametric methods play a central role in modern empirical work. While they provide inference procedures that are more robust to parametric misspecification bias, they may be quite sensitive to tuning parameter choices. We study the effects of bias correction on confidence interval coverage in the context of kernel density and local polynomial regression estimation, and prove that bias correction can be preferred to undersmoothing for minimizing coverage error and increasing robustness to tuning parameter choice. This is achieved using a novel, yet simple, Studentization, which leads to a new way of constructing kernel-based bias-corrected confidence intervals. In addition, for practical cases, we derive coverage error optimal bandwidths and discuss easy-to-implement bandwidth selectors. For interior points, we show that the MSE-optimal bandwidth for the original point estimator (before bias correction) delivers the fastest coverage error decay rate after bias correction when second-order (equivalent) kernels are employed, but is otherwise suboptimal because it is too "large". Finally, for odd-degree local polynomial regression, we show that, as with point estimation, coverage error adapts to boundary points automatically when appropriate Studentization is used; however, the MSE-optimal bandwidth for the original point estimator is suboptimal. All the results are established using valid Edgeworth expansions and illustrated with simulated data. Our findings have important consequences for empirical work as they indicate that bias-corrected confidence intervals, coupled with appropriate standard errors, have smaller coverage error and are less sensitive to tuning parameter choices in practically relevant cases where additional smoothness is available.

description: We consider a method of sub-wavelength superlocalization and patterning of atomic matter waves via a two dimensional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (2D STIRAP) process. An atom initially prepared in its ground level interacts with a doughnut-shaped optical vortex pump beam and a traveling wave Stokes laser beam with a constant (top-hat) intensity profile in space. The beams are sent in a counter-intuitive temporal sequence, in which the Stokes pulse precedes the pump pulse. The atoms interacting with both the traveling wave and the vortex beam are transferred to a final state through the 2D STIRAP, while those located at the core of the vortex beam remain in the initial state, creating a super-narrow nanometer scale atomic spot in the spatial distribution of ground state atoms. By numerical simulations we show that the 2D STIRAP approach outperforms the established method of coherent population trapping, yielding much stronger confinement of atomic excitation. Numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation show that using such a method one can create 2D bright and dark solitonic structures in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The method allows one to circumvent the restriction set by the diffraction limit inherent to conventional methods for formation of localized solitons, with a full control over the position and size of nanometer resolution defects.

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller From the leader of the romance pack comes a paranormal love story marking Hazelwood’s first. With plenty of laughs, spicy romantic tension and characters you’ll want to spend time with, it’s sure to resonate with fans and newcomers alike. This Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition features a special essay where Ali pays homage to Nalini Singh, one of her all-time favorite paranormal romance authors, and Singh's Psy-Changeling series. A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha Werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis. Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again... Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was…. Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.

description: Modern quantum machine learning (QML) methods involve variationally optimizing a parameterized quantum circuit on a training data set, and subsequently making predictions on a testing data set (i.e., generalizing). In this work, we provide a comprehensive study of generalization performance in QML after training on a limited number $N$ of training data points. We show that the generalization error of a quantum machine learning model with $T$ trainable gates scales at worst as $\sqrt{T/N}$. When only $K \ll T$ gates have undergone substantial change in the optimization process, we prove that the generalization error improves to $\sqrt{K / N}$. Our results imply that the compiling of unitaries into a polynomial number of native gates, a crucial application for the quantum computing industry that typically uses exponential-size training data, can be sped up significantly. We also show that classification of quantum states across a phase transition with a quantum convolutional neural network requires only a very small training data set. Other potential applications include learning quantum error correcting codes or quantum dynamical simulation. Our work injects new hope into the field of QML, as good generalization is guaranteed from few training data.

The kalivarjya concerning the prohibition of initiation during the celebration of the Vedic sattra rituals
Creators: name: Spanò, Igor
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies
Year: 2022

description: The subject of kalivarjyas, their origin, and their place within Brahmanical ideology has attracted keen interest from various scholars. Indeed, the kalivarjyas constitute ‘exceptions’ to the dharmic norm that seem to invalidate the authority of the dharma itself. However, they allow us to verify how the dharma has been constantly adapted to the new requirements that have emerged with the transformations that have taken place in India over time in the religious and socio-political spheres. Among the kalivarjyas, some refer to the field of śrauta rituals, and the one concerning the prohibition of the sattradīkṣā, i.e., the initiation on the celebration of Vedic rituals of the sattra type, appears particularly interesting. Through the analysis of some ancient and medieval texts and based on the interpretations provided in the past by numerous scholars, in this study I attempt to offer some possible explanations to clarify the meaning and the origin of this kalivarjya. The explorations conducted will allow shedding new light on the way of interpreting the changes that took place in the centuries following the decline of Vedic religiosity from the ritual, juridical, and historical-political point of view. This will lead to clarifying what the bans are for, whether they are intended to preserve something from the changes themselves, and whether they are intended to preserve, or sanction established roles in society.

From loafing to dignity: The mise en scène of Guo Shixing‘s play Go Home directed by Lin Zhaohua
Creators: name: Leonesi, Barbara
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies
Year: 2022

description: Guo Shixing is considered one of the most interesting playwrights in contemporary China. In his production, an important role is played by his two trilogies, the Loafers (1990s) trilogy and the Dignity (2000s) trilogy. After briefly analysing commonalities and differences between the two trilogies, this essay focuses on an analysis of the text and the mise en scène of the third play in the Dignity trilogy, Go Home. The essay will show that this play can be seen as a sort of point of arrival for Guo Shixing’s creative writing, concentrating the distinctive features that have marked his production from the beginning. In particular, the study will reflect on the close link between theatre and society, and on the function of dramaturgical writing as a mirror and at the same time a criticism of contemporary society.

Depletion interaction between spheres of unequal size and demixing in binary mixtures of colloids

description: The possibility to induce demixing in a colloidal mixture by adding small polymers, or other equivalent depletant agents, is theoretically investigated. By use of Mean Field Theory, suitably generalized to deal with short range effective interactions, the phase diagram of a binary mixture ofcolloidal particles (modelled as hard spheres) in a solvent is determined as a function of the polymer concentration on the basis of the Asakura-Oosawa model.The topology of the phase diagram changes when the relative size of the colloidal particles is reduced: the critical line connecting the liquid-vapour critical points of the two pure fluids breaks and the branch starting from the critical point of the bigger particles bends to higher volume fractions, where concentration fluctuations drive the transition. The effects of a softer colloid-polymer interaction is also investigated: Even the presence of a small repulsive tail in the potential gives rise to a significant lowering of the stability threshold. In this case, phase transitions may take place by adding just a few percent of depletant in volume fraction. These results may be relevant for the interpretation of recent experiments of solidification kinetics in colloidal mixtures.
