Akodon mimus

description: Akodon mimus (Thomas, 1901). Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 7:183. TYPE LOCALITY: Peru, Puno Dept., Limbane, 2600 m. DISTRIBUTION: E Andean slopes of SE Peru to WC Bolivia. COMMENTS: Type species of Microxus, a taxon arranged either as a subgenus of Akodon (Cabrera, 1961), as a distinct akodontine genus (Ellerman, 1941; Gyldenstolpe, 1932; Reig, 1987; Thomas, 1916c), or as a synonym of the oxymycterine genus Abrothrix (Hershkovitz, 1966c). Preliminary electrophoretic evidence indicates that mimus is phyletically closer to species of Akodon sensu stricto than to those of Bolomys or Chroeomys (see Patton et al., 1989; Smith and Patton, 1991). Also see remarks under A. bogotensis.

description: We study the slowing, storing and releasing of microwave pulses in a superconducting circuits composed of two coplanar waveguide resonators and a superconducting transmon-type qubit. The quantum interference analogy to electromagnetically induced transparency is created in two coupled resonators. By tuning the resonance frequency of the transmon, we dynamically tune the effective coupling between the resonators. Via the modulation of the coupling, we show the tunable true time delay of microwave pulses at the single-photon level. We also store the microwave field in a high-Q resonator and release the signal from it to the output port. Our scheme promises applications in both quantum information processing and classical wireless communications.

An Application of Neutrosophic Sets to Decision Making

description: Maji et al. introduced in 2002 a method of parametric decision making using soft sets as tools and representing their tabular form as a binary matrix. In cases, however, where some or all of the parameters used for the characterization of the elements of the universal set are of fuzzy texture, their method does not give always the best decision making solution. In order to tackle this problem, we modified in earlier works the method of Maji et al. by replacing the binary elements in the tabular form of the corresponding soft set either by grey numbers or by triangular fuzzy numbers. In this work, in order to tackle more efficiently cases in which the decision maker has doubts about the correctness of the fuzzy/qualitative characterizations assigned to some or all of the elements of the universal set, we replace the binary elements of the tabular form by neutrosophic triplets. Our new, neutrosophic decision making method is illustrated by an application concerning the choice of a new player by a soccer club.

Bio-inspired Dual-auger Self-burrowing Robots in Granular Media

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: It has been found that certain biological organisms, such as Erodium seeds and Scincus scincus, are capable of effectively and efficiently burying themselves in soil. Biological Organisms employ various locomotion modes, including coiling and uncoiling motions, asymmetric body twisting, and undulating movements that generate motion waves. The coiling-uncoiling motion drives a seed awn to bury itself like a corkscrew, while sandfish skinks use undulatory swimming, which can be thought of as a 2D version of helical motion. Studying burrowing behavior aims to understand how animals navigate underground, whether in their natural burrows or underground habitats, and to implement this knowledge in solving geotechnical penetration problems. Underground horizontal burrowing is challenging due to overcoming the resistance of interaction forces of granular media to move forward. Inspired by the burrowing behavior of seed-awn and sandfish skink, a horizontal self-burrowing robot is developed. The robot is driven by two augers and stabilized by a fin structure. The robot's burrowing behavior is studied in a laboratory setting. It is found that rotation and propulsive motion along the axis of the auger's helical shape significantly reduce granular media's resistance against horizontal penetration by breaking kinematic symmetry or granular media boundary. Additional thrusting and dragging tests were performed to examine the propulsive and resistive forces and unify the observed burrowing behaviors. The tests revealed that the rotation of an auger not only reduces the resistive force and generates a propulsive force, which is influenced by the auger geometry, rotational speed, and direction. As a result, the burrowing behavior of the robot can be predicted using the geometry-rotation-force relations.

The Power of Neutrino Mass Sum Rules for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Experiments

description: Neutrino mass sum rules relate the three neutrino masses within generic classes of flavour models, leading to restrictions on the effective mass parameter measured in experiments on neutrinoless double beta decay as a function of the lightest neutrino mass. We perform a comprehensive study of the implications of such neutrino mass sum rules, which provide a link between model building, phenomenology, and experiments. After a careful explanation of how to derive predictions from sum rules, we discuss a large number of examples both numerically, using all three global fits available for the neutrino oscillation data, and analytically wherever possible. In some cases, our results disagree with some of those in the literature for reasons that we explain. Finally we discuss the experimental prospects for many current and near-future experiments, with a particular focus on the uncertainties induced by the unknown nuclear physics involved. We find that, in many cases, the power of the neutrino mass sum rules is so strong as to allow certain classes of models to be tested by the next generation of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. Our study can serve as both a guideline and a theoretical motivation for future experimental studies.

description: The isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) in Sn isotopes and other nuclei is investigated in the framework of the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. The spectrum of GMR is calculated by taking the root-mean-square (RMS) radius of a nucleus as its monopole moment. The peak energy, the full width at half maximum (FWHM), and the strength of GMR extracted by a Gaussian fit to the spectrum have been studied. The GMR peak energies for Sn isotopes from the calculations using a mass-number dependent Gaussian wave-packet width $σ_r$ for nucleons are found to be overestimated and show a weak dependence on the mass number compared with the experimental data. However, it is found that experimental data of the GMR peak energies for $^{56}$Ni, $^{90}$Zr, and $^{208}$Pb as well as Sn isotopes can be nicely reproduced after taking into account the isospin dependence in isotope chains in addition to the mass number dependence of $σ_r$ for nucleons in the IQMD model calculation.

description: Covariance function estimation is a fundamental task in multivariate functional data analysis and arises in many applications. In this paper, we consider estimating sparse covariance functions for high-dimensional functional data, where the number of random functions p is comparable to, or even larger than the sample size n. Aided by the Hilbert–Schmidt norm of functions, we introduce a new class of functional thresholding operators that combine functional versions of thresholding and shrinkage, and propose the adaptive functional thresholding estimator by incorporating the variance effects of individual entries of the sample covariance function into functional thresholding. To handle the practical scenario where curves are partially observed with errors, we also develop a nonparametric smoothing approach to obtain the smoothed adaptive functional thresholding estimator and its binned implementation to accelerate the computation. We investigate the theoretical properties of our proposals when p grows exponentially with n under both fully and partially observed functional scenarios. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed adaptive functional thresholding estimators significantly outperform the competitors through extensive simulations and the functional connectivity analysis of two neuroimaging datasets.
Approximate controllability, exact controllability, and conical eigenvalue intersections for quantum mechanical systems

description: We study the controllability of a closed control-affine quantum system driven by two or more external fields. We provide a sufficient condition for controllability in terms of existence of conical intersections between eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian in dependence of the controls seen as parameters. Such spectral condition is structurally stable in the case of three controls or in the case of two controls when the Hamiltonian is real. The spectral condition appears naturally in the adiabatic control framework and yields approximate controllability in the infinite-dimensional case. In the finite-dimensional case it implies that the system is Lie-bracket generating when lifted to the group of unitary transformations, and in particular that it is exactly controllable. Hence, Lie algebraic conditions are deduced from purely spectral properties. We conclude the article by proving that approximate and exact controllability are equivalent properties for general finite-dimensional quantum systems.

Final-state interactions in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering from the deuteron

description: We explore the role of final-state interactions (FSI) in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering from the deuteron. Relating the inclusive cross section to the deuteron forward virtual Compton scattering amplitude, a general formula for the FSI contribution is derived in the generalized eikonal approximation, utilizing the diffractive nature of the effective hadron-nucleon interaction. The calculation uses a factorized model with a basis of three resonances with mass $W<2$ GeV and a continuum contribution for larger $W$ as the relevant set of effective hadron states entering the final-state interaction amplitude. The results show sizeable on-shell FSI contributions for Bjorken $x \gtrsim 0.6$ and $Q^2 \lesssim 10$ GeV$^2$, increasing in magnitude for lower $Q^2$, but vanishing in the high-$Q^2$ limit due to phase space constraints. The off-shell rescattering contributes at $x \gtrsim 0.8$ and is taken as an uncertainty on the on-shell result.

Construction schedule review

description: Schedule review is an important aspect of schedule management for the owners like the state Department of Transportation (DOTs) to successfully deliver projects on time. However, the quality of schedules submitted by the contractors varies greatly, without having the required formats and information. Therefore, the competency of schedule reviewers to accurately detect problems in the submitted schedule and make sure that the schedule fulfills all the contractual requirements is essential. Past studies in schedule review focused on developing review criteria and thresholds focusing on the schedule itself. There has not been a comprehensive study to collect problems arising from the entire DOT’s schedule review process. To assist schedule reviewers in detecting the problems and making decisions based on the problems, three objectives were defined: 1) assembling and categorizing common contractor schedule problems faced by DOT’s schedule reviewers, 2) defining the criticality of identified problems, and 3) identifying high and low critical problems that are perceived by the practitioners. To achieve these objectives, this study developed a list of construction schedule problems that are found during the schedule review process. Three main categories are covered in this problem list: 1) schedule planning problems, 2) Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling problems, and 3) contractual compliance problems. Furthermore, a survey was deployed to DOT practitioners to assess the level of impact and the likelihood of occurrence of each identified problem and to determine the criticality of the identified problems. By ranking the most critical problems perceived by the DOT practitioners, this study analyzed the discrepancies between the survey results and industry standards. Also, areas for improvement in DOT’s standard specifications were identified. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge in schedule management by expanding the research on schedule review by investigating actual problems faced by DOT practitioners. Furthermore, the study makes an impact on DOTs’ schedule management by diagnosing and exploring their current status and procedure.

description: The main feature of the spatial large-scale galaxy distribution is its intricate network of galaxy filaments. This network is spanned by the galaxy locations that can be interpreted as a three-dimensional point distribution. The global properties of the point process can be measured by different statistical methods, which, however, do not describe directly the structure elements. The morphology of the large scale structure, on the other hand, is an important property of the galaxy distribution. Here we apply an object point process with interactions (the Bisous model) to trace and extract the filamentary network in the presently largest galaxy redshift survey, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We search for filaments in the galaxy distribution that have a radius of about 0.5 Mpc/h. We divide the detected network into single filaments and present a public catalogue of filaments. We study the filament length distribution and show that the longest filaments reach the length of 60 Mpc/h. The filaments contain 35-40% of the total galaxy luminosity and they cover roughly 5-8% of the total volume, in good agreement with N-body simulations and previous observational results.

description: This thesis describes a novel method designed to pattern high aspect ratio metallic microscale features using a modified photolithography and electroless nickel plating process. This method utilizes modified photolithography techniques to create a polymer mold that is used to control the location of metal deposition on substrate during electroless nickel plating. In order to generate high aspect ratio mold features, a multiple spin-step process was developed to deposit thick layers of SU-8 photoresist, and inclined lithography was also used to generate tapered sidewalls that could help aid mold removal after plating. Results from electroplating experiments were evaluated using a Zygo interferometer and cast PDMS mold cross-sections to determine plating thickness and uniformity.

description: We provide strong numerical evidence, using improved variational wave functions, for a ground state with vanishing spin gap in the spin-$1/2$ quantum Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice. Starting from the algebraic $U(1)$ Dirac spin liquid state proposed by Y. Ran $et al.$ [Phys. Rev. Lett. $98$, $117205$ ($2007$)] and iteratively applying a few Lanczos steps, we compute the lowest $S=2$ excitation constructed by exciting spinons close to the Dirac nodes. Our results are compatible with a vanishing spin gap in the thermodynamic limit and in consonance with a power-law decay of long distance spin-spin correlations in real space. The competition with a gapped (topological) spin liquid is discussed.

description: We construct a holographic dual to the three-dimensional ABJM Chern-Simons matter theory with unquenched massive flavors. The flavor degrees of freedom are introduced by means of D6-branes extended along the gauge theory directions and delocalized in the internal space. To find the solution we have to solve the supergravity equations of motion with the source terms introduced by the D6-branes. The background we get is a running solution representing the renormalization group flow between two fixed points, at the IR and the UV, in both of which the geometry is of the form AdS_4 x M_6, where M_6 is a six-dimensional compact manifold. Along the flow, N=1 supersymmetry is preserved and the flavor group is Abelian. The flow is generated by changing the quark mass m_q. When m_q is very large we recover the original unflavored ABJM solution, while for m_q very small our solution becomes asymptotically equivalent to the one found recently for massless smeared flavors. We study the effects of the dynamical quarks as their mass is varied on different observables, such as the holographic entanglement entropy, the quark-antiquark potential, the two-point functions of high dimension bulk operators, and the mass spectrum of mesons.

description: Hearing aids, akin to various mechanical instruments, emit specific auditory signals indicative of operational health, accurate parameter settings, or maintenance requirements. Analogous to automobile users discerning vehicle health via auditory cues without formal instruction, such auditory recognition emerges rapidly. Yet, embodying this auditory discernment within an artificial framework introduces intricate challenges. The scope of artificial structures capable of pre-emptive defect or maintenance identification through auditory signals remains expansive. In hearing aids, commonly observed complications encompass inadequate amplification, acoustic reverberations presenting as echoes, and diminished acoustic integrity leading to auditory deformities, frequently labelled as Non-linear harmonic distortion. The present study predominantly concentrates on the pervasive issue of auditory reverberations in hearing aids, often leading to user discomfort. The primary goal revolves around developing a resilient system harnessing an SVM classifier to detect echoes. Notably, the outlined architecture has showcased an accuracy metric of 95.4%.

description: Influence maximization (IM) aims to identify a small number of influential individuals to maximize the information spread and finds applications in various fields. It was first introduced in the context of viral marketing, where a company pays a few influencers to promote the product. However, apart from the cost factor, the capacity of individuals to consume content poses challenges for implementing IM in real-world scenarios. For example, players on online gaming platforms can only interact with a limited number of friends. In addition, we observe that in these scenarios, (i) the initial adopters of promotion are likely to be the friends of influencers rather than the influencers themselves, and (ii) existing IM solutions produce sub-par results with high computational demands. Motivated by these observations, we propose a new IM variant called capacity constrained influence maximization (CIM), which aims to select a limited number of influential friends for each initial adopter such that the promotion can reach more users. To solve CIM effectively, we design two greedy algorithms, MG-Greedy and RR-Greedy, ensuring the $1/2$-approximation ratio. To improve the efficiency, we devise the scalable implementation named RR-OPIM+ with $(1/2-ε)$-approximation and near-linear running time. We extensively evaluate the performance of 9 approaches on 6 real-world networks, and our solutions outperform all competitors in terms of result quality and running time. Additionally, we deploy RR-OPIM+ to online game scenarios, which improves the baseline considerably.

description: Fix a finite field. A hyperelliptic curve determines a measure on the discrete space of rank two bundles on the projective line: the mass of a given vector bundle is the number of line bundles whose pushforward it is. In a sequence of hyperelliptic curves whose genera tend to infinity, these measures tend to the natural measure on the space of rank two bundles. This is a function field analogue of Duke's theorem on the equidistribution of Heegner points, and can be proven similarly: it follows from a manipulation of zeta functions, plus the Riemann Hypothesis for curves. Likewise, a sequence of hyperelliptic curves equipped with line bundles gives rise to a sequence of measures on the space of pairs of rank 2 bundles. We give a conjectural classification of the possible limit measures which arise; this is a function field analogue of the "Mixing Conjecture" of Michel and Venkatesh. As in the number field setting, ergodic theory suffices when the line bundle is sufficiently special. For the remaining bundles, we turn to geometry and count points on intersections of translates of loci of special divisors in the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve. To prove equidistribution, we would require two results. The first, we prove: the upper cohomologies of these loci agree with the cohomology of the Jacobian. The second, which we establish in characteristic zero and conjecture in characteristic p, is that the sum of the Betti numbers of these spaces grows at most as the exponential of the genus of the hyperelliptic curve.

description: We consider a mixed system of Dirac fermions in a general parity-nonconserving theory and renormalize the propagator matrix to all orders in the pole scheme, in which the squares of the renormalized masses are identified with the complex pole positions and the wave-function renormalization (WFR) matrices are adjusted in compliance with the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann reduction formalism. We present closed analytic all-order expressions and their expansions through two loops for the renormalization constants in terms of the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and pseudovector parts of the unrenormalized self-energy matrix, which is computable from the one-particle-irreducible Feynman diagrams of the flavor transitions. We identify residual degrees of freedom in the WFR matrices and propose an additional renormalization condition to exhaust them. We then explain how our results may be generalized to the case of unstable fermions, in which we encounter the phenomenon of WFR bifurcation. In the special case of a solitary unstable fermion, the all-order-renormalized propagator is presented in a particularly compact form.

description: We consider inhomogeneous viscous fluids in flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We analyze different kinds of such fluids and investigate the possibility to reproduce the current cosmic acceleration providing a different future evolution with respect to the Cosmological Constant case. In particular, we study the presence of finite-future time singularities. We also discuss a general class of "integrable" viscous fluid models whose bulk viscosities obey to a common differential equation.

description: In the light of modern technological advances, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is relied upon to enhance performance, increase efficiency, and maximize gains. For Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), it can prove valuable in optimizing evidence analysis and establishing proactive prevention measures. Nevertheless, citizens raise legitimate concerns around privacy invasions, biases, inequalities, and inaccurate decisions. This study explores the views of 111 citizens towards AI use by police through interviews, and integrates societal concerns along with propositions of safeguards from negative effects of AI use by LEAs in the context of cybercrime and terrorism.

description: In the three-dimensional sl(N) Chern-Simons higher-spin theory, we prove that the conical surplus and the black hole solution are related by the S-transformation of the modulus of the boundary torus. Then applying the modular group on a given conical surplus solution, we generate a 'SL(2,Z)' family of smooth constant solutions. We then show how these solutions are mapped into one another by coordinate transformations that act non-trivially on the homology of the boundary torus. After deriving a thermodynamics that applies to all the solutions in the 'SL(2,Z)' family, we compute their entropies and free energies, and determine how the latter transform under the modular transformations. Summing over all the modular images of the conical surplus, we write down a (tree-level) modular invariant partition function.

Neighbours hiding in the Galactic plane - a new M/L dwarf candidate for the 8pc sample

description: AIMS: Using Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data and previous optical and near-infrared sky surveys, we try to identify still missing stellar and substellar neighbours of the Sun. METHODS: When checking the brightest red WISE sources for proper motions and colours expected for nearby M and L dwarfs we also approached the thin Galactic plane. Astrometry (proper motion and parallax measurements) and the available photometry were used to give first estimates of the distance and type of nearby candidates. RESULTS: We have discovered WISE J072003.20$-$084651.2, an object with moderately high proper motion ($μ$$\approx$120 mas/yr) and at low Galactic latitude ($b$$=$$+$2.3$\degr$), with similar brightness ($J$$\approx$10.6, $w2$$\approx$8.9) and colours ($I$$-$$J$$\approx$3.2, $J$$-$$K_s$$\approx$1.2, $w1$$-$$w2$$\approx$0.3) as the nearest known M-type brown dwarf LP 944-20. With a photometric classification as an M9$\pm$1 dwarf, its photometric distance lies in the range between about 5 and 7 pc, based on comparison with absolute magnitudes of LP 944-20 alone or of a sample of M8-L0 dwarfs.The slightly larger distance derived from our preliminary trigonometric parallax (7.0$\pm$1.9 pc) may indicate a close binary nature. The new neighbour is an excellent target for planet search and low-mass star/brown dwarf studies.
