description: [Abriged] Astronomical Wide Field Imaging performed with new large format CCD detectors poses data reduction problems of unprecedented scale which are difficult to deal with traditional interactive tools. We present here NExt (Neural Extractor): a new Neural Network (NN) based package capable to detect objects and to perform both deblending and star/galaxy classification in an automatic way. Traditionally, in astronomical images, objects are first discriminated from the noisy background by searching for sets of connected pixels having brightnesses above a given threshold and then they are classified as stars or as galaxies through diagnostic diagrams having variables choosen accordingly to the astronomer's taste and experience. In the extraction step, assuming that images are well sampled, NExt requires only the simplest a priori definition of "what an object is" (id est, it keeps all structures composed by more than one pixels) and performs the detection via an unsupervised NN approaching detection as a clustering problem which has been thoroughly studied in the artificial intelligence literature. In order to obtain an objective and reliable classification, instead of using an arbitrarily defined set of features, we use a NN to select the most significant features among the large number of measured ones, and then we use their selected features to perform the classification task. In order to optimise the performances of the system we implemented and tested several different models of NN. The comparison of the NExt performances with those of the best detection and classification package known to the authors (SExtractor) shows that NExt is at least as effective as the best traditional packages.

description: At the SASE-FEL user facilities FLASH and European XFEL, superconducting TESLA type cavities are used for acceleration of the driving electron bunches. The high achievable duty cycle allows for operating with long bunch trains, hence considerably increasing the efficiency of the machine. However, multibunch free electron lasers (FEL) operation requires longitudinal and transverse stability within the bunch train. The purpose of this work is to investigate the intra-bunch-train transverse dynamics at FLASH and European XFEL. Key relationships of superconducting rf cavity operation and the resulting impact on the intrabunch-train trajectory variation are described. The observed trajectory variation during multibunch user runs at FLASH is analyzed and related to both, intrabunch-train variations of the rf and the following impact on the multibunch FEL performance.

description: We have studied ferroelectricity in Dion-Jacobson CsBiNb$_2$O$_7$ from first principles. Using group-theoretical analysis and first-principles density functional calculations of the total energy and phonons, we perform a systematic study of the energy surface around a paraelectric prototypic phase. Our results suggest that CsBiNb$_2$O$_7$ is a ferroelectric with a polarization of P$_s$=40$μ$C cm$^{-2}$. We propose further experiments to clarify this point.

description: This paper raises the question of whether some degree of randomization in queue discipline might be welfare enhancing in certain queues for which the cost of waiting is a concave function of waiting time, so that increased variability in waiting times may be good not bad for aggregate customer welfare. Such concavity may occur if the costs of waiting asymptotically approach some maximum (e.g., for patients seeking organ transplants who will not live beyond a certain threshold time) or if the customer incurs a fixed cost if there is any wait at all (e.g., for knowledge workers seeking a service or piece of information that is required to proceed with their current task, so any delay forces them to incur the “set up charge” associated with switching tasks).

In this paper, we investigate the relation between the twist field, which represents string interactions in matrix string theory, and the three-string interaction vertex in light-cone string field theory carefully. We find that the three-string interaction vertex can reproduce some of the most important OPEs satisfied by the twist field.

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.

Fragments in Gaussian Wave-Packet Dynamics with and without correlations

description: Generalization of Gaussian trial wave functions in quantum molecular dynamics models is introduced, which allows for long-range correlations characteristic for composite nuclear fragments. We demonstrate a significant improvement in the description of light fragments with correlations. Utilizing either type of Gaussian wave functions, with or without correlations, however, we find that we cannot describe fragment formation in a dynamic situation. Composite fragments are only produced in simulations if they are present as clusters in the substructure of original nuclei. The difficulty is traced to the delocalization of wave functions during emission. Composite fragments are produced abundantly in the Gaussian molecular dynamics in the limit $\hbar \rightarrow 0$.

description: We introduce the \emph{frugal foraging} model in which a forager performs a discrete-time random walk on a lattice, where each site initially contains $\mathcal{S}$ food units. The forager metabolizes one unit of food at each step and starves to death when it last ate $\mathcal{S}$ steps in the past. Whenever the forager decides to eat, it consumes all food at its current site and this site remains empty (no food replenishment). The crucial property of the forager is that it is \emph{frugal} and eats only when encountering food within at most $k$ steps of starvation. We compute the average lifetime analytically as a function of frugality threshold and show that there exists an optimal strategy, namely, a frugality threshold $k^*$ that maximizes the forager lifetime.

description: We construct a novel tensionless limit of Superstring theory that realises the Inhomogeneous Super Galilean Conformal Algebra (SGCA$_I$) as the residual symmetries in the analogue of the conformal gauge, as opposed to previous constructions of the tensionless superstring, where a smaller symmetry algebra called the Homogeneous SGCA emerged as the residual gauge symmetry on the worldsheet. We obtain various features of the new tensionless theory intrinsically as well as from a systematic limit of the corresponding features of the tensile theory. We discuss why it is desirable and also natural to work with this new tensionless limit and the larger algebra.

description: We develop a theory of Einstein rings and demonstrate it using the infrared Einstein ring images of the quasar host galaxies observed in PG1115+080, B1608+656 and B1938+666. The shape of an Einstein ring accurately and independently determines the shape of the lens potential and the shape of the lensed host galaxy. We find that the host galaxies of PG1115+080, B1608+656 and B1938+666 have axis ratios of 0.58+/-0.02, 0.69+/-0.02 and 0.62+/-0.15 including the uncertainties in the lens models. The Einstein rings break the degeneracies in the mass distributions or Hubble constants inferred from observations of gravitational lenses. In particular, the Einstein ring in PG1115+080 rules out the centrally concentrated mass distributions that lead to a high Hubble constant (H_0>60 km/s Mpc) given the measured time delays. Deep, detailed observations of Einstein rings will be revolutionary for constraining mass models and determining the Hubble constant from time delay measurements.

A novel NAC transcription factor gene, GhNAC20, regulates leaf senescence and diverse stress responses in cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L

description: NAC (NAM, ATAF1, 2 and CUC2) transcription factors play crucial roles in various plant developmental processes and response to environmental stresses. In cotton, NAC family genes have been analyzed, however their specific function in leaf senescence has not been fully reported. In the present study, a gene encoding a NAC protein GhNAC20 was cloned. Yeast-one Hybrid assay showed GhNAC20 possess transcriptional activation activities which was located in the C-terminal region. Analysis by qRT-PCR indicated that GhNAC20 was highly expressed in the cotyledon, true leaves and in senescing leaves compared to other tissues. To confirm its role in leaf senescence, the transcript levels were measured during natural and dark-induced senescence. Strikingly, GhNAC20 was strongly upregulated during these types of senescence. In order to gain more insight into its function, GhNAC20 was silenced in cotton plants by VIGS technique. GhNAC20-silenced plants showed delayed leaf senescence as knockdown mutants showed prolonged stay-green phenotypes. Promoter analysis revealed various cis-acting elements suggesting that GhNAC20 could be involved in several response network regulations. ABA, JA, ET and SA signaling molecules which promote senescence, upregulated GhNAC20 when exogenously applied to cotton seedling though each induced it at different times after treatments. These results indicate that a GhNAC20 is a novel nuclear protein that promotes leaf senescence in cotton.

description: Tephritis matutina Rondani, 1871
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1871b: 11 (key), 22 (description).
 TYPE LOCALITY: “ in colle sub-apennino … in Sicilia [sub-Apennine hill … Sicily (Italy)]”.
 TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (double-mounted: fastened by a micro pin to a polyethylene foam block on a standard insect pin) (MZUF: Box 32): Tephritis Latr. / matutina Rnd., Etrur. [= Etruria (Tuscany)], Sicil. / 1667 / lectotype ♂ [not designated], Tephritis matutina Rondani, det. B. Merz, 1992 / 1667, Tephritis ? nigricauda (Loew), det. I.M. White, 1986; 1 ♂, paralectotype (double-mounted: fastened by a micro pin to a polyethylene foam block on a standard insect pin) (MZUF: Box 32): Tephritis Latr. / matutina Rnd., Etrur. [= Etruria (Tuscany)], Sicil. / 1667; 1 ♀, paralectotype (covered with mold, missing head, double-mounted: fastened by a micro pin to a polyethylene foam block on a standard insect pin) (MZUF: Box 32): Tephritis Latr. / matutina Rnd., Apen. [= Apennines], Sicil. / 1667 / Tephritis ? poecilura Loew det. I.M. White, 1986 / Tephritis praecox (Loew), det. B. Merz.
 CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Tephritis nigricauda (Loew, 1856) (Foote 1984: 131, Norrbom et al. 1999: 218).
 REMARKS: Rondani (1871b: 22) described both sexes of Tephritis matutina without specifying either the number of males or the length of the specimens: “ foeminam unicam in colle sub-apennino, … legi, et mares paucos in Sicilia capta a Cl. Haliday observavi [I collected a single female in a sub-Apennine hill, and I observed a few males in Sicily collected by Mr. Haliday]”. Bernard Merz examined the MZUF type material in 1992, adding the label “ lectotype ” under one male, without, as far as we know, publishing any lectotype designation. We found three syntypes in this study: two males and one female. An additional MZUF male numbered “1667” is not included in the type series because its label is yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and is in a lower row in the Box, for which reason we treat it to be a subsequent addition. In order to promote nomenclatural stability, we give credit to B. Merz and here designate as a lectotype for Tephritis matutina Rondani, 1871 the MZUF male labeled as such by him.

description: The universality of linguistic taboo suggests that almost all languages have words and expressions that are regarded as unsuitable for general use; or themes and topics that are generally not supposed to be mentioned. Therefore, this paper explores the Igbo and Chinese linguistic taboos in cross-cultural communication based on the theories of context and cross-cultural communication. The main objective of this study is to explore all the linguistic taboos that exist in Chinese and Igbo language, and further unfold how to establish a healthy and efficient cross-cultural communication with others to reduce misunderstanding. A descriptive research design was adopted; the data collection was by personal observation (being an Igbo and have lived in China for 6 years), oral interview, and review of literature. Chinese linguistic taboos examined include taboos relating to death, numbers, appellation, eating, gender, sex/ sex organs, disease taboo, and excretion, while Igbo linguistic taboos are related to disease/calamity, dead/death, animals, religion, appellation, and sex/parts of the body. To help reduce or avoid the violation of Chinese or Igbo taboos and improve cross-cultural communication, there is great need to strengthen the study and accumulation of the target culture, gradually enhance the awareness and sensitivity of cultural differences, pay attention to the cultivation of cross-cultural thinking.

description: We develop a general method for calculating statistical properties of the speckle pattern of coherent waves propagating in disordered media. In some aspects this method is similar to the Boltzmann-Langevin approach for the calculation of classical fluctuations. We apply the method to the case where the incident wave experiences many small angle scattering events during propagation, but the total angle change remains small. In many aspects our results for this case are different from results previously known in the literature. The correlation function of the wave intensity at two points separated by a distance $r$, has a long range character. It decays as a power of $r$ and changes sign. We also consider sensitivities of the speckles to changes of external parameters, such as the wave frequency and the incidence angle.

description: We study the electron-positron system in a strong magnetic field using the differential Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder approximation. We derive the fully relativistic two-dimensional form that the four-dimensional Bethe-Salpeter equation takes in the limit of asymptotically strong constant and homogeneous magnetic field. An ultimate value for the magnetic field is determined, which provides the full compensation of the positronium rest mass by the binding energy in the maximum symmetry state and vanishing of the energy gap separating the electron-positron system from the vacuum. The compensation becomes possible owing to the falling to the center phenomenon that occurs in a strong magnetic field because of the dimensional reduction. The solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation corresponding to the vanishing energy-momentum of the electron-positron system is obtained.

description: We study a tunneling geometry defined by a single point-contact constriction that brings to close vicinity two points sitting at the same edge of a quantum Hall liquid, shortening the trip between the otherwise spatially separated points along the normal chiral edge path. This ``wormhole''-like geometry allows for entrapping bulk quasiparticles between the edge path and the tunnel junction, possibly realizing a topologically protected qubit if the quasiparticles have non-Abelian statistics. We show how either noise or simpler voltage measurements along the edge can probe the non-Abelian nature of the trapped quasiparticles.

description: Government agencies collect and disseminate data that bear on the most important issues of public interest. Advances in information technology, particularly the Internet, have multiplied the tension between demands for evermore comprehensive databases and demands for the shelter of privacy. In mediating between these two conflicting demands, agencies must address a host of difficult problems. These include providing access to information while protecting confidentiality, coping with health information databases, and ensuring consistency with international standards. The policies of agencies are determined by what is right for them to do, what works for them, and what they are required to do by law. They must interpret and respect the ethical imperatives of democratic accountability, constitutional empowerment, and individual autonomy. They must keep pace with technological developments by developing effective measures for making information available to a broad range of users. They must both abide by the mandates of legislation and participate in the process of developing new legislation that is responsive to changes that affect their domain. In managing confidentiality and data access functions, agencies have two basic tools: techniques for disclosure limitation through restricted data and administrative procedures through restricted access. The technical procedures for disclosure limitation involve a range of mathematical and statistical tools. The administrative procedures can be implemented through a variety of institutional mechanisms, ranging from privacy advocates, through internal privacy review boards, to a data and access protection commission.

description: When a hydrogen atom trapped in finite space formed by two parallel perfectly conducting plates, the transition rates can be modified. Life-time of the hydrogen $2P_{1/2}$-state is estimated to be shorter as much as $56.3ps $ with a separation distance of $b = 1.2 μm$ between two plates. Although the modification is dependent on position of the atom, the life-time can be shorten or lengthen by adjusting the separation distance even for the case that the atom is placed at the center between two plates.

description: The layered perovskites $R$Cr(BO$_3$)$_2$ ($R$ = Y and Ho) with magnetic triangular lattices were studied by performing ac/dc susceptibility, specific heat, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, and dielectric constant measurements. The results show (i) both samples' Cr$^{3+}$ spins order in a canted antiferromagnetic structure with $T_N$ around 8-9 K, while the Ho$^{3+}$ ions do not order down to $T$ = 1.5 K in HoCr(BO$_3$)$_2$; (ii) when a critical magnetic field H$_{C}$ around 2-3 T is applied below $T_{N}$, the Cr$^{3+}$ spins in the Y-compound and both the Cr$^{3+}$ and Ho$^{3+}$ spins in the Ho-compound order in a ferromagnetic state; (iii) both samples exhibit dielectric constant anomalies around the transition temperature and critical field, but the Ho-compound displays a much stronger magnetodielectric response. We speculate that this is due to the magnetostriction which depends on both of the Cr$^{3+}$ and the Ho$^{3+}$ ions' ordering in the Ho-compound. Moreover, by using linear spin wave theory to simulate the inelastic neutron scattering data, we estimated the Y-compound's intralayer and interlayer exchange strengths as ferromagnetic J$_{1}$ = -0.12 meV and antiferromagnetic J$_{2}$ = 0.014 meV, respectively. The competition between different kinds of superexchange interactions results in the ferromagnetic intralayer interaction.

description: Engineering effective p-wave superconductors hosting Majorana quasiparticles (MQPs) is nowadays of particular interest, also in view of the possible utilization of MQPs in fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. In quasi one-dimensional systems, the parameter space for topological superconductivity is significantly reduced by the coupling between transverse modes. Together with the requirement of achieving the topological phase under experimentally feasible conditions, this strongly restricts in practice the choice of systems which can host MQPs. Here we demonstrate that semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in proximity with ultrathin s-wave superconductors, e.g. exfoliated NbSe$_2$, satisfy these needs. By precise numerical tight-binding calculations in the real space we show the emergence of localized zero-energy states at the CNT ends above a critical value of the applied magnetic field. Knowing the microscopic wave functions, we unequivocally demonstrate the Majorana nature of the localized states. An accurate analytical model Hamiltonian is used to calculate the topological phase diagram.

description: Consumers are exposed to advertisers across a number of channels. As such, a conversion or a sale may be the result of a series of ads that were displayed to the consumer. This raises the key question of attribution: which ads get credit for a conversion and how much credit does each of these ads get? This is one of the most important questions facing the advertising industry today. Although the issue is well documented, current solutions are often simplistic; for e.g., attributing the sale to the most recent ad exposure. In this paper, we address the problem of attribution by developing a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) of an individual consumer's behavior based on the concept of a conversion funnel. We apply the model to a unique data-set from the online campaign for the launch of a car. We observe that different ad formats, e.g. display and search ads, affect consumers differently based on their states in the decision process. Display ads usually have an early impact on the consumer, moving him from a disengaged state to an state in which he interacts with the campaign. On the other hand, search ads have a pronounced effect across all stages. Further, when the consumer interacts with these ads (e.g. by clicking on them), the likelihood of a conversion increases considerably. Finally, we show that attributing conversions based on the HMM provides fundamentally different insights into ad effectiveness relative to the commonly used approaches for attribution. Contrary to the common belief that display ads as are not useful, our results show that display ads affect early stages of the conversion process. Furthermore, we show that only a fraction of online conversions are driven by online ads.

description: Two emerging architectural paradigms, i.e., Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), enable the deployment and management of Service Function Chains (SFCs). A SFC is an ordered sequence of abstract Service Functions (SFs), e.g., firewalls, VPN-gateways,traffic monitors, that packets have to traverse in the route from source to destination. While this appealing solution offers significant advantages in terms of flexibility, it also introduces new challenges such as the correct configuration and ordering of SFs in the chain to satisfy overall security requirements. This paper presents a formal model conceived to enable the verification of correct policy enforcements in SFCs. Software tools based on the model can then be designed to cope with unwanted network behaviors (e.g., security flaws) deriving from incorrect interactions of SFs in the same SFC.

description: We report a tentative detection of spin correlations in the Tully catalogue of nearby galaxies. We define a simple but nontrivial spin correlation function, and find an analytic estimate of it in the frame of the linear perturbation theory. Then, we present the observed spin correlation signal from the Tully galaxies with error bars. The three dimensional spin correlation turns out to be significant at the 97% confidence level, detected out to a few $h^{-1}$ Mpc. This observed correlation is consistent with the theoretical prediction based on the gravitational instability picture of galaxy formation. An analysis of systematic errors is also presented. The observed strength of correlation may be sufficient to significantly affect blank field of weak lensing searches.

description: Mg-Si-Sn solid solutions have interesting and useful semiconducting properties particularly for thermoelectric applications. While cubic solid solutions have been prepared by a variety of methods, solid solutions with a trigonal crystal structure have not been reported. We employed a combination of high energy ball milling and current activated pressure assisted densification (CAPAD) to induce and complete phase transformation from cubic to trigonal phase, forming dense trigonal composites. This is the first successful preparation of the trigonal phase in Mg-Si-Sn stem. In addition, we report the transport properties of both the cubic and trigonal composites measured in the 160 to 400 K range. The electrical conductivity of the trigonal composites was several times higher compared to the cubic counterparts while thermal conductivity is lower but in the range of previously reported Mg-Si-Sn materials. The Seebeck coefficient of the trigonal composites is lower compared to the cubic samples, leading to low ZT values. The ZT of the cubic samples, however is higher than previously reported for un-doped Mg-Si-Sn solid solutions which is promising for thermoelectric applications.

description: Measuring peer influence in social networks is an important business and policy question that has become increasingly salient with the development of globally interconnected ICT networks. However, in spite of the new data sources available today, researchers still face many of the same measurement challenges that have been present in the literature for over four decades: homophily, reflection and selection problems, identifying the source of influence, and determining pre-existing knowledge. The goal of this paper is to develop an empirical approach for measuring information diffusion and discovery in online social networks that have these measurement challenges. We develop such an approach and apply it to data collected from 4,000 users of an online music community. We show that peers on such network significantly increase music discovery. Moreover, we demonstrate how future research can use this method to measure information discovery and diffusion using data from other online social networks.
