description: While a successful survey requires engaged and attentive respondents, careless survey completion remains a great concern in online market research. In this article, we test metrics of engagement in an online willingness-to-pay (WTP) study for fresh blueberry attributes using a major U.S. panel company and evaluate the impact that poorly behaving respondents have on subsequent data quality. In doing so, we investigate in detail the complex joint relationship between attribute non-attendance (ANA) and measures of respondent engagement in web surveying. Using fixed latent classes, an approach known as the Equality Constrained Latent Class procedure, we export individual probabilistic class assignment of all levels of attribute attendance to cross reference with respondents who fail measures of engagement and fraudulence, and analyze their composition and impact on latent classes, indicating non-attendance of individual and combinations of attributes. We also analyze engagement impacts on the tau variance parameter in the scaled mixed logit model and find strong links to unnecessarily increased heterogeneity when not properly filtering poorly behaving respondents. While WTP estimates between respondents passing and failing engagement metrics are similar with the ECLC model, filtering failing respondents in the scaled mixed logit model reduces overall WTP estimates. Results have implications for both WTP researchers and general online market researchers.

description: We present a simple, fully-convolutional model for real-time (>30 fps) instance segmentation that achieves competitive results on MS COCO evaluated on a single Titan Xp, which is significantly faster than any previous state-of-the-art approach. Moreover, we obtain this result after training on only one GPU. We accomplish this by breaking instance segmentation into two parallel subtasks: (1) generating a set of prototype masks and (2) predicting per-instance mask coefficients. Then we produce instance masks by linearly combining the prototypes with the mask coefficients. We find that because this process doesn't depend on repooling, this approach produces very high-quality masks and exhibits temporal stability for free. Furthermore, we analyze the emergent behavior of our prototypes and show they learn to localize instances on their own in a translation variant manner, despite being fully-convolutional. We also propose Fast NMS, a drop-in 12 ms faster replacement for standard NMS that only has a marginal performance penalty. Finally, by incorporating deformable convolutions into the backbone network, optimizing the prediction head with better anchor scales and aspect ratios, and adding a novel fast mask re-scoring branch, our YOLACT++ model can achieve 34.1 mAP on MS COCO at 33.5 fps, which is fairly close to the state-of-the-art approaches while still running at real-time.

description: We study theoretical and experimental constraints on electroweak theories including a new color-singlet and electrically-neutral gauge boson. We first note that the electric charges of the observed fermions imply that any such Z' boson may be described by a gauge theory in which the Abelian gauge groups are the usual hypercharge along with another U(1) component in a kinetic-diagonal basis. Assuming that the observed quarks and leptons have generation-independent U(1) charges, and that no new fermions couple to the standard model gauge bosons, we find that their U(1) charges form a two-parameter family consistent with anomaly cancellation and viable fermion masses, provided there are at least three right-handed neutrinos. We then derive bounds on the Z' mass and couplings imposed by direct production and Z-pole measurements. For generic charge assignments and a gauge coupling of electromagnetic strength, the strongest lower bound on the Z' mass comes from Z-pole measurements, and is of order 1 TeV. If the new U(1) charges are proportional to B-L, however, there is no tree-level mixing between the Z and Z', and the best bounds come from the absence of direct production at LEPII and the Tevatron. If the U(1) gauge coupling is one or two orders of magnitude below the electromagnetic one, these bounds are satisfied for most values of the Z' mass.

description: In the present work, a theoretical framework focussing on local geometric deformations is introduced in order to cope with the problem of how to join spacetimes with different geometries and physical properties. Using this framework, it is shown that two Lorentzian manifolds can be matched in agreement with the well-known Darmois-Israel junction conditions by locally deforming the associated spacetime metrics in relation to each other. Based on the insight that metrics can be suitably matched in this way, it is shown that the underlying geometric approach allows the characterization of local spacetimes in General Relativity. In addition, it is shown that this approach allows the treatment of problems that cannot be treated by using standard gluing techniques.

description: Multi-peaked spectra of the primordial gravitational waves are considered as a phenomenologically relevant source of information about the dynamics of sequential phase transitions in the early Universe. In particular, such signatures trace back to specific patterns of the first-order electroweak phase transition in the early Universe occurring in multiple steps. Such phenomena appear to be rather generic in multi-scalar extensions of the Standard Model. In a particularly simple extension of the Higgs sector, we have identified and studied the emergence of sequential long- and short-lasting transitions as well as their fundamental role in generation of multi-peaked structures in the primordial gravitational-wave spectrum. We discuss the potential detectability of these signatures by the proposed gravitational-wave interferometers.

description: Objectives: Riociguat is a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator licensed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a potentially fatal complication of human immunodeficiency virus infection. This study investigated the inhibitory potency of selected antiretroviral regimens on the metabolic clearance of riociguat. Methods: The inhibitory potential of the components of six antiretroviral combinations (ATRIPLA® (efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil), COMPLERA® (rilpivirine/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil), STRIBILD® (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil), TRIUMEQ® (abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine), and two ritonavir-boosted regimens) on riociguat metabolism were evaluated in recombinant human CYP1A1 and CYP3A4 as well as in human hepatocytes exhibiting both CYP1A1 and CYP3A4 activity. In vitro-in vivo correlation was performed between calculated and observed increases in riociguat exposure in vivo. Results: Using both in vitro systems, the predicted increase in exposure of riociguat was highest with components of TRIUMEQ® followed by COMPLERA®, ATRIPLA®, STRIBILD®, and the ritonavir-boosted regimens. Further experiments in human hepatocytes confirmed CYP1A1 to be the predominant enzyme in the metabolic clearance of riociguat. Conclusion: Antiretroviral treatment containing the potent CYP1A1 inhibitor abacavir had the greatest impact on riociguat metabolic clearance. The impact of comedications containing only strong CYP3A4 inhibitors e.g. ritonavir was less pronounced, suggesting a benefit of riociguat over PAH-targeting medications with contraindications for use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.

We then locate 2 infrared objects within this error circle in K-band ($2.2 μ$m) images of this field. Based on the X-ray absorption towards SGR 1806-20 and the extinction towards the nearby star cluster, we discuss the likelihood of association for the possible counterparts, and the implications for SGR 1806-20's physical properties and origins.

description: The most fascinating feature of certain two-dimensional (2D) gapless quantum spin liquid (QSL) is that their spinon excitations behave like the fermionic carriers of a paramagnetic metal. The spinon Fermi surface is then expected to produce a linear increase of the thermal conductivity with temperature that should manifest via a residual value ($κ_0/T$) in the zero-temperature limit. However, this linear in T behavior has been reported for very few QSL candidates. Here, we studied the ultralow-temperature thermal conductivity of an effective spin-1/2 triangular QSL candidate Na$_2$BaCo(PO$_4$)$_2$, which has an antiferromagnetic order at very low temperature ($T_N \sim$ 148 mK), and observed a finite $κ_0/T$ extrapolated from the data above $T_N$. Moreover, while approaching zero temperature, it exhibits series of quantum spin state transitions with applied field along the $c$ axis. These observations indicate that Na$_2$BaCo(PO$_4$)$_2$ possibly behaves as a gapless QSL with itinerant spin excitations above $T_N$ and its strong quantum spin fluctuations persist below $T_N$.

description: We consider the ground state of supermembrane on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background by using the quantum-mechanical procedure of de Wit-Hoppe-Nicolai. In the pp-wave case the ground state has non-trivial structure even in the zero-mode Hamiltonian, which is identical with that of superparticles on the pp-wave and resembles supersymmetric harmonic oscillators. The supergravity multiplet in the flat case is splitting with a certain energy difference. We explicitly construct the unique supersymmetric ground-state wave function of the zero-mode Hamiltonian, which is obviously normalizable. Moreover, we discuss the nonzero-mode Hamiltonian and construct an example for the ground-state wave function with a truncation of the variables. This special solution seems non-normalizable but its L^2-norm can be represented by an asymptotic series.

description: We present SplitFS, a file system for persistent memory (PM) that reduces software overhead significantly compared to state-of-the-art PM file systems. SplitFS presents a novel split of responsibilities between a user-space library file system and an existing kernel PM file system. The user-space library file system handles data operations by intercepting POSIX calls, memory-mapping the underlying file, and serving the read and overwrites using processor loads and stores. Metadata operations are handled by the kernel PM file system (ext4 DAX). SplitFS introduces a new primitive termed relink to efficiently support file appends and atomic data operations. SplitFS provides three consistency modes, which different applications can choose from, without interfering with each other. SplitFS reduces software overhead by up-to 4x compared to the NOVA PM file system, and 17x compared to ext4-DAX. On a number of micro-benchmarks and applications such as the LevelDB key-value store running the YCSB benchmark, SplitFS increases application performance by up to 2x compared to ext4 DAX and NOVA while providing similar consistency guarantees.

description: The hadronic decays of the tau lepton can be used to determine the effective charge alpha_tau(m^2_tau') for a hypothetical tau-lepton with mass in the range 0 < m_tau' < m_tau. This definition provides a fundamental definition of the QCD coupling at low mass scales. We study the behavior of alpha_tau at low mass scales directly from first principles and without any renormalization-scheme dependence by looking at the experimental data from the OPAL Collaboration. The results are consistent with the freezing of the physical coupling at mass scales s = m^2_tau' of order 1 GeV^2 with a magnitude alpha_tau ~ 0.9 +/- 0.1.

description: We present a method to analyse arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) using a classifier defined by a deep convolutional neural network trained on a HEALPix grid. To illustrate a high effectiveness of the method, we employ it to estimate prospects of detecting a large-scale anisotropy of UHECRs induced by a nearby source with an (orbital) detector having a uniform exposure of the celestial sphere and compare the results with our earlier calculations based on the angular power spectrum. A minimal model for extragalactic cosmic rays and neutrinos by Kachelrieß, Kalashev, Ostapchenko and Semikoz (2017) is assumed for definiteness and nearby active galactic nuclei Centaurus A, M82, NGC 253, M87 and Fornax A are considered as possible sources of UHECRs. We demonstrate that the proposed method drastically improves sensitivity of an experiment by decreasing the minimal required amount of detected UHECRs or the minimal detectable fraction of from-source events several times compared to the approach based on the angular power spectrum. We also test robustness of the neural networks against different models of the large-scale Galactic magnetic fields and variations of the mass composition of UHECRs, and consider situations when there are two nearby sources or the dominating source is not known a~priori. In all cases, the neural networks demonstrate good performance unless the test models strongly deviate from those used for training. The method can be readily applied to the analysis of data of the Telescope Array, the Pierre Auger Observatory and other cosmic ray experiments.

description: \xmm ~observations of the X-ray feature 1SAX J0617.1+2221 in the IC443 supernova remnant are reported.We resolve the structure of the nebula into a compact core with a hard spectrum of photon index $γ= 1.63^{+0.11}_{-0.10}$ in the 2--10 keV energy range. The nebula also has an extended ($\sim 8\arcmin \times 5\arcmin$) X-ray halo, much larger than the radio emission extension. The photon index softens, following a linear scaling with distance from the centroid, similar to other known X-ray plerions. The index range is compatible with synchrotron burn-off models. All the observational evidence points toward a confirmation of the plerionic nature of the nebula, as recently suggested by a \ch observation, but with characteristics more similar to "non Crab-like" plerions. We discuss the implications on the synchrotron nebula magnetic field if the $>100$ MeV emission reported by {\it CGRO EGRET} is produced by the synchrotron emission. We also constrain the thermal emission of the central object, arguing that the surface temperature should be around 0.1 keV, although other possible fits cannot be excluded on the base of the \xmm data

description: We develop the theory of weighted Ricci curvature in a weighted Lorentz-Finsler framework and extend the classical singularity theorems of general relativity. In order to reach this result, we generalize the Jacobi, Riccati and Raychaudhuri equations to weighted Finsler spacetimes and study their implications for the existence of conjugate points along causal geodesics. We also show a weighted Lorentz-Finsler version of the Bonnet-Myers theorem based on a generalized Bishop inequality.

description: Crosscorrelation of the outputs of two Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors has recently been proposed [1] as a method for detecting statistical association between GWs and Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). Unfortunately, the method can be effectively used only in the case of stationary noise. In this work a different crosscorrelation algorithm is presented, which may effectively be applied also in non-stationary conditions for the cumulative analysis of a large number of GRBs. The value of the crosscorrelation at zero delay, which is the only one expected to be correlated to any astrophysical signal, is compared with the distribution of crosscorrelation of the same data for all non-zero delays within the integration time interval. This background distribution is gaussian, so the statistical significance of an experimentally observed excess would be well-defined. Computer simulations using real noise data of the cryogenic GW detectors Explorer and Nautilus with superimposed delta-like signals were performed, to test the effectiveness of the method, and theoretical estimates of its sensitivity compared to the results of the simulation. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is compared to that of other cumulative techniques, finding that the algorithm is particularly effective in the case of non-gaussian noise and of a large (100-1000s) and unpredictable delay between GWs and GRBs.

description: The higher twist corrections $h^N(x)/Q^2$ to the spin dependent proton and neutron structure functions $g_1^N(x, Q^2)$ are extracted in a model independent way from experimental data on $g_1^N$ and found to be non-negligible. It is shown that the NLO QCD polarized parton densities determined from the data on g1, including higher twist effects, are in good agreement with those found earlier from our analysis of the data on g1/F1 and A1 where higher twist effects are negligible. On the contrary, the LO QCD polarized parton densities obtained from the data on g1, including higher twist, differ significantly from our previous results.

description: The nature of fast radio bursts (FRBs), which occurs on millisecond time scales in the radio band, has not been well-understood. Among their unknown observational properties are their broadband spectra and persistent and transient multi-wavelength counterparts. Well-localized FRBs provide us the opportunity to address these issues in archival observations. We have performed searches for 15-150 keV hard X-ray bursts on time scales as short as millisecond in the direction of the repeating FRB 121102 (with a spacial resolution of a few arcminutes) in the archival Swift/BAT data during the period between October 2016 and September 2017. We have found no significant (5 $σ$) hard X-ray bursts in the direction of the repeating FRB. We have derived an upper limit of the hard X-ray (15--150 keV) flux of any X-ray bursts on 1 ms time scale of around $1.01 \times 10^{-7}$erg cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$, if assuming a photo-index of 2 for potential X-ray flares in X-ray band. A plausible scenario for the repeating FRB as being associated with \emph{magnetar giant flare} is still far below the upper limit.

description: We study permutation invariant oscillator algebras and their Fock space representations using three equivalent techniques, i.e. (i) a normally ordered expansion in creation and annihilation operators, (ii) the action of annihilation operators on monomial states in Fock space and (iii) Gram matrices of inner products in Fock space. We separately discuss permutation invariant algebras which possess hermitean number operators and permutation invariant algebras which possess non-hermitean number operators. The results of a general analysis are applied to the S_M extended Heisenberg algebra, underlying the M-body Calogero model. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of Gram matrices for the Calogero model. We discuss their structure, eigenvalues and eigenstates. We obtain a general condition for positivity of eigenvalues, meaning that all norms of states in Fock space are positive if this condition is satisfied. We find a universal critical point at which the reduction of the physical degrees of freedom occurs. We construct dual operators, leading to the ordinary Heisenberg algebra of free Bose oscillators. From the Fock-space point of view, we briefly discuss the existence of mapping from the Calogero oscillators to the free Bose oscillators and vice versa.

description: Thermonuclear runaways driven by accretion into degenerate white dwarf cores are the source that power classical nova outbursts. In this paper, we identify the dominant nuclear paths involved in the synthesis of intermediate-mass elements, from Si to Ca, during such violent events. New evolutionary sequences of 1.35 Mo ONe novae have been computed, using updated nuclear reaction rates. The main nuclear activity in this region is powered by the leakage from the NeNa-MgAl region, where the activity is confined during the early stages of the explosion. We discuss the critical role played by 30P(p,gamma) in the synthesis of nuclear species beyond sulfur and point out the large uncertainty that affects its rate, which has dramatic consequences for studies of nova nucleosynthesis in the Si-Ca mass region.
