description: Insider trading, a practice where individuals trade stocks based on non-public, material information, has long been a concern in financial markets worldwide. In the context of India, understanding the historical evolution and implications of insider trading is paramount for safeguarding market integrity and investor confidence. This research paper delves into the intricate tapestry of insider trading in India, tracing its roots from early instances to contemporary regulatory responses.  Through an exploration of historical precedents, regulatory developments, and their impacts on securities markets, this paper sheds light on the multifaceted nature of insider trading. The analysis reveals the detrimental effects of insider trading on market integrity, fairness, and efficiency. Moreover, it elucidates the erosion of investor confidence and trust, which undermines the functioning of capital markets and impedes economic growth. Beyond its immediate market ramifications, insider trading perpetuates wealth inequality and hampers broader economic development. By distorting the allocation of resources and perpetuating unfair advantages, insider trading exacerbates societal disparities and poses challenges to sustainable economic progress.  Examining the existing regulatory framework and enforcement mechanisms, this paper identifies gaps and challenges in curbing insider trading practices effectively. Furthermore, it compares these measures with international standards, highlighting areas for improvement and alignment with global best practices. Recognizing the pivotal role of investor education and awareness, this paper proposes strategies for promoting transparency and accountability in financial markets. By empowering investors with knowledge and tools to identify and report insider trading, a culture of vigilance can be fostered, bolstering market integrity and resilience.

description: We present an energy loss model which includes small system size corrections to both the radiative and elastic energy loss. Our model is used to compute the nuclear modification factor $R_{AB}$ of light and heavy flavor hadrons, averaged over realistic collision geometries for central and peripheral $A+A$ and central $p / d / {}^3\text{He} + A$ collisions at LHC and RHIC. We find that the predicted suppression in small systems is almost entirely due to elastic energy loss. Our results are keenly sensitive to the crossover between elastic energy loss calculated with hard thermal loop propagators and vacuum propagators, respectively, which leads to a large theoretical uncertainty. We find that the $R_{AB}$ is largely insensitive to the form of the elastic energy loss distribution - Gaussian or Poisson - surprisingly so in small systems where the central limit theorem is inapplicable. We present an expansion of the $R_{AB}$ in terms of the moments of the energy loss probability distribution, which allows for a rigorous understanding of the dependence of the $R_{AB}$ on the underlying energy loss distribution.

description: How function arises from structure  is of interest in many fields from proteomics to neuroscience. In particular, among the brain research community  the  fusion of structure and function data can shed new lights on underlying operational network principles in the brain. Targeting this issue, the manuscript proposes a constrained autoregressive model  generating  ``effective'' connectivity given structural and functional information. In  practice, an initial structural connectivity representation is altered according to functional data, by minimizing the reconstruction error of an autoregressive model constrained by the structural prior. The proposed model has been tested in a community detection framework, where the brain is partitioned using the effective networks across multiple subjects. The model is further validated in a case-control experiment, which aims at differentiating healthy subjects from young patients affected by autism spectrum disorder. Results showed that using  effective connectivity resulted in clusters that better describe the functional interactions between different regions while maintaining the structural organization, and a better  discrimination in the case-control classification task.

description: Beam splitters are indispensable elements in optical and photonic systems, and are therefore employed in both classical and quantum technologies. Depending on the intended application, these devices can divide incident light according to its power, polarization state, or wavelength. In this work, we theoretically present a novel type of beam splitter capable of separating a light beam into its two-mode bright and dark components. We propose a prototype based on an optical cross-cavity system resonantly coupled to a $Λ$-type three-level atom. The dark component of the incoming light is transmitted because the antisymmetric collective mode of the cavity setup is decoupled from the atom. Meanwhile, in a high-cooperativity regime, the bright component is reflected due to Autler-Townes splitting, which arises from the strong coupling between the atom and the symmetric collective mode of the cavity setup. Although the device requires only a two-level atom to operate, using a three-level atom allows the device to be turned on or off by controlling the atomic ground state. Our results pave the way for new applications of beam splitters that leverage the collective properties of light. Manipulating and exploiting this additional degree of freedom can advance the field of quantum optics and contribute to the development of quantum technologies.

description: We extend the concept of conventional multiferroicity \ -- where ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orders coexist \ -- to include multipolar degrees of freedom. Specifically, we explore how this phenomenon emerges in $4d^2/5d^2$ Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit and Hund's couplings. Our study uncovers the origin of magnetic multipolar interactions in these systems and demonstrates that a combination of quadrupolar and octupolar magnetic order can simultaneously induce both electrical quadrupolar moments and ferroelectric polarization. By expanding the multiferroic framework to higher-order multipoles, we reveal the possibility of coexisting multipolar orders of different or same ranks, paving the way for new functional properties in a large class of strongly correlated materials.

description: Crop phenology describes the physiological development stages of crops from planting to harvest which is valuable information for decision makers to plan and adapt agricultural management strategies. In the era of big Earth observation data ubiquity, attempts have been made to accurately detect crop phenology using Remote Sensing (RS) and high resolution weather data. However, most studies have focused on large scale predictions of phenology or developed methods which are not adequate to help crop modeler communities on leveraging Sentinel-1 and Sentinal-2 data and fusing them with high resolution climate data, using a novel framework. For this, we trained a Machine Learning (ML) LightGBM model to predict 13 phenological stages for eight major crops across Germany at 20 m scale. Observed phonologies were taken from German national phenology network (German Meteorological Service; DWD) between 2017 and 2021. We proposed a thorough feature selection analysis to find the best combination of RS and climate data to detect phenological stages. At national scale, predicted phenology resulted in a reasonable precision of R2 > 0.43 and a low Mean Absolute Error of 6 days, averaged over all phenological stages and crops. The spatio-temporal analysis of the model predictions demonstrates its transferability across different spatial and temporal context of Germany. The results indicated that combining radar sensors with climate data yields a very promising performance for a multitude of practical applications. Moreover, these improvements are expected to be useful to generate highly valuable input for crop model calibrations and evaluations, facilitate informed agricultural decisions, and contribute to sustainable food production to address the increasing global food demand.

description: It is expedient to mention that section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 which talks about outraging the modesty of a woman and section 375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 which talks about rape committed to a woman. And recently, the criminal laws got amended and the sections 354 and 375 of IPC were replaced by sections 73 and 63 of the new Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 respectively. But what our once again failed neither to discuss or nor to addressed is that a man can also be a victim of such crime. The previous act i.e., the IPC contained section 377 for unnatural offences which dealt with any sexual offences that was committed against the laws of nature which included two adults of same sex having intercourse forcefully or any person committing an act of sexual intercourse on any animal. But the present rape laws as mentioned in the new criminal law has no provision for it instead, they have added a different term mentioned as ‘unnatural lust.’  This paper will discuss how men can also be victim of such offences and where there, if any, any relief for them. Through this paper the authors in no way means to object upon the fact that the sexual offences in India against women is less heinous crime rather the authors wish to shed light on the fact that even men, although not in a very large number, but still, they are victims to such crime. The paper has been divided mainly into three sections where the first section will give us the basic introduction or idea about this crime. Moving on the second section will discuss as to what is outraging the modesty of a man and in the final section the paper will be concluded.  Keywords: Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Indian Penal Code, 1860, Modesty, POCSO Act, 2012, Gender Neutral Laws, Sexual Offences, Unnatural Lust, Unnatural Offences

description: We study gravitational perturbations of the Schwarzschild metric in the context of noncommutative gravity. $r-φ$ and $r-t$ noncommutativity are introduced through a Moyal twist of the Hopf algebra of diffeomorphisms. Differential geometric structures such as curvature tensors are also twisted. Noncommutative equations of motion are derived from the recently proposed NC vacuum Einstein equation. Here, in addition to previously calculated axial NC potential, we present the polar solution which generalizes the work done by Zerilli. Quasinormal mode frequencies of the two potentials are calculated using three methods: WKB, Pöschl-Teller and Rosen-Morse. Notably, we apply the WKB method up to the 13th order and determine the optimal order for each noncommutative parameter value individually. Additionally, we provide comprehensive error estimations for the higher-order WKB calculations, offering insights into the accuracy of our results. By comparing the spectra, we conclude that the classical isospectrality of axial and polar modes is broken upon spacetime quantization. Isospectrality is restored in the eikonal limit.

description: A Reflective Intelligent Surface (RIS) consists of many small reflective elements whose reflection properties can be adjusted to change the wireless propagation environment. Envisioned implementations require that each RIS element be connected to a controller, and as the number of RIS elements on a surface may be on the order of hundreds or more, the number of required electrical connectors creates a difficult wiring problem, especially at high frequencies where the physical space between the elements is limited. A potential solution to this problem was previously proposed by the authors in which "biasing transmission lines" carrying standing waves are sampled at each RIS location to produce the desired bias voltage for each RIS element. This solution has the potential to substantially reduce the complexity of the RIS control. This paper presents models for the RIS elements that account for mutual coupling and realistic varactor characteristics, as well as circuit models for sampling the transmission line to generate the RIS control signals. For the latter case, the paper investigates two techniques for conversion of the transmission line standing wave voltage to the varactor bias voltage, namely an envelope detector and a sample-and-hold circuit. The paper also develops a modal decomposition approach for generating standing waves that are able to generate beams and nulls in the resulting RIS radiation pattern that maximize either the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or the Signal-to-Leakage-plus-Noise Ratio (SLNR). Extensive simulation results are provided for the two techniques, together with a discussion of computational complexity.

description: As three-dimensional acquisition technologies like LiDAR cameras advance, the need for efficient transmission of 3D point clouds is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we present a novel semantic communication (SemCom) approach for efficient 3D point cloud transmission. Different from existing methods that rely on downsampling and feature extraction for compression, our approach utilizes a parallel structure to separately extract both global and local information from point clouds. This system is composed of five key components: local semantic encoder, global semantic encoder, channel encoder, channel decoder, and semantic decoder. Our numerical results indicate that this approach surpasses both the traditional Octree compression methodology and alternative deep learning-based strategies in terms of reconstruction quality. Moreover, our system is capable of achieving high-quality point cloud reconstruction under adverse channel conditions, specifically maintaining a reconstruction quality of over 37dB even with severe channel noise.

description: Magnetic monopoles (MMs) are well-motivated hypothetical particles whose discovery would symmetrize Maxwell equations, explain quantization of electric charge, and probe the gauge structure of the unified theory. Recent models predict MMs with low masses, reinvigorating searches at colliders. However, most theories predict composite MMs, whose production in parton-parton collisions is expected to be suppressed. The Schwinger process, whereby MM pairs tunnel through the vacuum barrier in the presence of a strong magnetic field, is not subject to this limitation. Additionally, the Schwinger cross section can be calculated nonperturbatively. Together, these make it a golden channel for low-mass MM searches. We investigate the Schwinger production of MMs in heavy-ion collisions at future colliders, in collisions of cosmic rays with the atmosphere, and in decay of magnetic fields of cosmic origin. We find that a next-generation collider would provide the best sensitivity, allowing one to discover or exclude MMs with TeV-scale masses. At the same time, exploiting the infrastructure of industrial ore extraction and Antarctic ice drilling could advance the field at a faster timescale and with only a modest investment. In particular, we show with detailed calculations that the proposed experiments will be sensitive to fluxes of low-mass MMs as low as a few units of 10^{-22} cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} in a wide range of Lorentz factors. We also propose deploying dedicated MM detectors in conjunction with cosmic ray observatories to directly investigate if the unexplained, highest energy cosmic rays are MMs. Together, the proposed efforts would define the field of MM searches in the next decades.

description: Data augmentation is crucial for pixel-wise annotation tasks like semantic segmentation, where labeling requires significant effort and intensive labor. Traditional methods, involving simple transformations such as rotations and flips, create new images but often lack diversity along key semantic dimensions and fail to alter high-level semantic properties. To address this issue, generative models have emerged as an effective solution for augmenting data by generating synthetic images. Controllable Generative models offer data augmentation methods for semantic segmentation tasks by using prompts and visual references from the original image. However, these models face challenges in generating synthetic images that accurately reflect the content and structure of the original image due to difficulties in creating effective prompts and visual references. In this work, we introduce an effective data augmentation pipeline for semantic segmentation using Controllable Diffusion model. Our proposed method includes efficient prompt generation using \textit{Class-Prompt Appending} and \textit{Visual Prior Blending} to enhance attention to labeled classes in real images, allowing the pipeline to generate a precise number of augmented images while preserving the structure of segmentation-labeled classes. In addition, we implement a \textit{class balancing algorithm} to ensure a balanced training dataset when merging the synthetic and original images. Evaluation on PASCAL VOC datasets, our pipeline demonstrates its effectiveness in generating high-quality synthetic images for semantic segmentation.

description: Reconstructing the internal three-dimensional quark and gluon structures of hadrons through generalized parton distributions (GPDs) from hard exclusive scattering processes is one of the most challenging tasks in nuclear and particle physics. In this paper, we introduce a new optimized reference frame that, for the first time, enables a unified view of all the reactions sensitive to GPDs and facilitates the interpretation of a variety of phase-space patterns that were previously hardly accessible and interpretable. Similarly to how the heliocentric description advanced our understanding of the solar system and gravitation, our new frame centers around a quasireal state, allows for a consistent separation of physical scales, and reveals a novel quantum interference mechanism.

description: Twisted optical fibers are a promising platform for manipulating circularly polarized light and orbital angular momentum beams for applications such as nonlinear frequency conversion, optical communication, or chiral sensing. However, integration into chip-scale technology is challenging because twisted fibers are incompatible with planar photonics and the achieved twist rates are limited. Here, we address these challenges by introducing the concept of 3D-nanoprinted on-chip twisted hollow-core light cages. We show theoretically and experimentally that geometrical twisting of light cages forces the fundamental core mode of a given handedness to couple with selected higher-order core modes, resulting in strong circular dichroism (CD). These chiral resonances result from the angular momentum harmonics of the fundamental mode, allowing us to predict their spectral locations and the occurrence of circular birefringence. Twisted light cages enable very high twist rates and CD, exceeding those of twisted hollow-core fibers by more than two orders of magnitude (twist period: 90 $μ$m, CD: 0.8 dB/mm). Moreover, the unique cage design provides lateral access to the central core region, enabling future applications in chiral spectroscopy. Therefore, the presented concept opens a path for translating twisted fiber research to on-chip technology, resulting in a new platform for integrated chiral photonics.

description: Grave as before, and about three feet deep. Bones almost gone; the head of an hasta and the head of a pilum both on the right side of the head; from the sockets of each, which I carefully compared, I judge that the staff of the hasta was near an inch diameter, and that the staff of the pilum was about three quarters of an inch diameter, i.e., at that end; but that they were both of them smaller at the other end, as I found on examining the ferrules or spikes belonging to them, which happened both of them here to be perfect enough for such an examination; for I found the ferrule of the hasta, as in No. 10, was three-quarters of an inch wide, and the ferrule of the pilum was not more than half an inch wide, I mean in the clear. They were both of the same shape as that which is described at No. 10. From them also it appeared that the length of the hasta was six feet or rather more, and that the length of the pilum was but about four feet and a half. I am fully convinced that they were both of them deposited on the outside of the coffin: I mean between the coffin and the side of the grave; the heads of both of them had some very coarse cloth very visibly adhering to them, or, more properly speaking, turned into their own iron, by the rust perhaps. They were both wrapt in the same cloth, for they lay close together. Here was also the blade of a large knife, or rather of a dagger; it was ten inches long, exclusive of the strig, and two-edged. Here I found also a pretty large brass[1] buckle, with a long shank, neatly wrought [M 6011]; it appears to have been gilded, and on its tongue are neatly set three garnets, and some greenish stone. Here were also the blades of two small knives, and some nail-like pieces of iron.[1]There is the very same sort of buckle as this to be seen in the 63rd plate of Humphreys's Supplement to Montfaucon, and is there marked No. 1. It is, very remarkably, there called a woman's head-dress; but I imagine it must be owing to some mistake. It is one of the large Frankish girdle-buckles, described as of iron plated with silver.- C.R.S.

description: Loop current order has been suggested as a promising candidate for the spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking $2a_0 \times 2a_0$ charge density wave (CDW) revealed in vanadium-based kagomé metals \avs\ ($A$ = K, Rb, Cs) near van Hove filling $n_\text{vH} = 5/12$. Weak-coupling analyses and mean field calculations have demonstrated that nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion $V_1$ and next-nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion $V_2$ drives, respectively, real and imaginary bond-ordered CDW, with the latter corresponding to time-reversal symmetry breaking loop current CDW. It is important to understand the inter-layer correlation of these bond-ordered CDWs and its consequences in the bulk kagomé materials. To provide physical insights, we investigate in this paper the $c$-axis stacking of them, loop current CDW in particular, on the minimal bilayer kagomé lattice. The bare susceptibilities for stacking of real and imaginary bond orders are calculated for the free electrons on the bilayer kagomé lattice with inter-layer coupling $t_\perp=0.2t$, which splits the van Hove filling to $n_{+\text{vH}}=4.64/12$ and $n_{-\text{vH}}=5.44/12$. While real and imaginary bond-ordered CDWs are still favored, respectively, by $V_1$ and $V_2$, their inter-layer coupling is sensitive to band filling $n$. They tend to stack symmetrically near $n_{\pm\text{vH}}$ with identical bond orders in the two layers and give rise to a $2a_0 \times 2a_0 \times 1c_0$ CDW. On the other hand, they prefer to stack antisymmetrically around $n_\text{vH}$ with opposite bond orders in the two layers and lead to a $2a_0 \times 2a_0 \times 2c_0$ CDW. The concrete bilayer $t$-$t_\perp$-$V_1$-V$_2$ model is then studied. We obtain the mean-field ground states and determine the inter-layer coupling as a function of band filling at various interactions. The nontrivial topological properties of loop current CDWs are studied ...

description: Quantitative measurements of similarity can help researchers understand the increasing amount of manuscript metadata or digital images now available for study. Researchers in archaeology, ecology, and information retrieval have developed diverse methods for quantifying the similarity of categorical, numerical, and presence/absence data. The variety of methods in use reflects the complex associations of the term "similarity" and suggests that quantitative approaches can preserve some of the nuance associated with traditional humanistic approaches. We argue that similarity metrics, contextualized against random simulations, provide flexible tools for identifying and analyzing trends in large sets of multifaceted historical data and can be applied to many kinds of manuscript research projects. Simulations (permutation tests) that highlight how observed patterns diverge from random or theoretical scenarios have allowed us to interpret similarity measurements against a baseline that is analogous to researchers' intuitions born of experience. In this paper, we model using similarity metrics to conduct multifaceted analyses of an iconographic dataset derived from Lilian M. C. Randall's Images in the Margins of Gothic Manuscripts (1966), indexing images in French, English, and Flemish manuscripts produced between about 1250 and 1350. We share examples of approaches such as statistical analysis, Analysis of Similarity, and clustering to model the type of quantitative approaches we believe will become increasingly important for the analysis of digital manuscript data.

description: This article considers the challenge of accommodating outlier measurements in state estimation. The Risk-Averse Performance-Specified (RAPS) state estimation approach addresses outliers as a measurement selection Bayesian risk minimization problem subject to an information accuracy constraint, which is a non-convex optimization problem. Prior explorations into RAPS rely on exhaustive search, which becomes computationally infeasible as the number of measurements increases. This paper derives a convex formulation for the RAPS optimization problems via transforming the mixed-binary variables into linear constraints. The convex reformulation herein can be solved by convex programming toolboxes, significantly enhancing computational efficiency. We explore two specifications: Full-RAPS, utilizing the full information matrix, and Diag-RAPS, focusing on diagonal elements only. The simulation comparison demonstrates that Diag-RAPS is faster and more efficient than Full-RAPS. In comparison with Kalman Filter (KF) and Threshold Decisions (TD), Diag-RAPS consistently achieves the lowest risk, while achieving the performance specification when it is feasible.
