description: The ability to collect and analyze large amounts of data is a growing problem within the scientific community. The growing gap between data and users calls for innovative tools that address the challenges faced by big data volume, velocity and variety. One of the main challenges associated with big data variety is automatically understanding the underlying structures and patterns of the data. Such an understanding is required as a pre-requisite to the application of advanced analytics to the data. Further, big data sets often contain anomalies and errors that are difficult to know a priori. Current approaches to understanding data structure are drawn from the traditional database ontology design. These approaches are effective, but often require too much human involvement to be effective for the volume, velocity and variety of data encountered by big data systems. Dimensional Data Analysis (DDA) is a proposed technique that allows big data analysts to quickly understand the overall structure of a big dataset, determine anomalies. DDA exploits structures that exist in a wide class of data to quickly determine the nature of the data and its statical anomalies. DDA leverages existing schemas that are employed in big data databases today. This paper presents DDA, applies it to a number of data sets, and measures its performance. The overhead of DDA is low and can be applied to existing big data systems without greatly impacting their computing requirements.

description: In this work, we use the Gouy-Stodola theorem to calculate the entropy production rate in the inflationary epoch of the universe. This theorem allows us the simple calculation of entropy and entropy production rate occasioned by the decaying of the inflaton scalar field. Both the entropy and entropy production rate achieve large values, agreeing with the expected values present in the literature.

description: We study a strongly interacting crowded system of self-propelled stiff filaments by event-driven Brownian dynamics simulations and an analytical theory to elucidate the intricate interplay of crowding and self-propulsion. We find a remarkable increase of the effective diffusivity upon increasing the filament number density by more than one order of magnitude. This counter-intuitive 'crowded is faster' behavior can be rationalized by extending the concept of a confining tube pioneered by Doi and Edwards for highly entangled crowded, passive to active systems. We predict a scaling theory for the effective diffusivity as a function of the Péclet number and the filament number density. Subsequently, we show that an exact expression derived for a single self-propelled filament with motility parameters as input can predict the non-trivial spatiotemporal dynamics over the entire range of length and time scales. In particular, our theory captures short-time diffusion, directed swimming motion at intermediate times, and the transition to complete orientational relaxation at long times.

description: This paper addresses the problem of optimal scheduling of an aggregated power profile (during a coordinated discharging or charging operation) by means of a heterogeneous fleet of storage devices subject to availability constraints. Devices have heterogeneous initial levels of energy, power ratings and efficiency; moreover, the fleet operates without cross-charging of the units. An explicit feedback policy is proposed to compute a feasible schedule whenever one exists and scalable design procedures to achieve maximum time to failure or minimal unserved energy in the case of unfeasible aggregated demand profiles. Finally, a time-domain characterization of the set of feasible demand profiles using aggregate constraints is proposed, suitable for optimization problems where the aggregate population behaviour is of interest.

description: We explore consequences of the existence of gluonic hot spots inside the proton for coherent and incoherent exclusive vector meson production cross sections in deep inelastic scattering. By working in the dilute limit of the Color Glass Condensate framework to compute the cross sections for Gaussian hot spots of fluctuating color charges and employing a non-relativistic vector meson wave function, we are able to perform large parts of the calculation analytically. We find that the coherent cross section is sensitive to both the size of the target and the structure of the probe. The incoherent cross section is dominated by color fluctuations at small transverse momentum transfer ($t$), by proton and hot spot sizes as well as the structure of the probe at medium $t$ and again by color fluctuations at large $t$. While the $t$-dependence of the cross section is well reproduced in our model, the relative normalization between the coherent and the incoherent cross sections points to the need for additional fluctuations in the proton.

Coupled plasmon wave dynamics beyond anomalous reflection: phase gradient Copper metasurface for visible to the near infrared spectrum
Creators: name: Sultana, Hosna

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In nanoscale photonic devices, the demand for multifunctionality from metasurface 2D optics increases rapidly. To explore fine-tuning in the design metric, we reinvestigated the trapezoid shape copper metasurface with Finite-Difference Time-Domain simulation for efficiently using linearly polarized light for two different functionalities. From the plasmonic band structure, we see how the degree of asymmetry in geometry affects the efficient resonance coupling of the traveling plasmonic modes, along with different types of mode hybridization profiles related to the nanoantenna's geometric shape. Tuning the nanoantenna's length, we can excite the effective plasmon mode supported by this configuration and guide out surface wave unidirectionally from the normal incident free-space light for visible to infrared range. Directed surface plasmon polariton has both antisymmetric and symmetric modes oscillating between the top and bottom surface of the continuous metal layer depending on the nanoantenna's length and wavelength. This proposed Copper metasurface is optimized for far-field application of broadband (600-900 nm) anomalous beam steering for an average of 65 percent efficiency with a maximum of 64 degree angle. This work brings more understanding of how one metasurface can be implemented in small footprint plasmonic devices, waveguide mode controlling, as well as beam steering with their wavelength dependent functionality.

description: The celebrated GKLS master equation, widely called just Lindblad equation, is the universal dynamical equation of non-relativistic open quantum systems in their Markovian approximation. It is not necessary and perhaps impossible that GKLS equations possess sensible relativistic forms. In a lucid talk on black hole information loss paradox, David Poulin conjectured a Lorentz invariant GKLS master equation. It remained unpublished. Poulin passed away at heights of his activity. But the equation is really puzzling. A closer look uncovers a smartly hidden defect which leaves us without Lorentz invariant Markovian master equations. They, in view of the present author, should not exist.

description: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) acting as Flying Access Points (FAPs) are being used to provide on-demand wireless connectivity in extreme scenarios. Despite ongoing research, the optimization of UAVs' positions according to dynamic users' traffic demands remains challenging. We propose the Traffic-aware UAV Placement Algorithm (TUPA), which positions a UAV acting as FAP according to the users' traffic demands, in order to maximize the network utility. Using a DRL approach enables the FAP to autonomously learn and adapt to dynamic conditions and requirements of networking scenarios. Moreover, the proposed DRL methodology allows TUPA to generalize knowledge acquired during training to unknown combinations of users' positions and traffic demands, with no additional training. TUPA is trained and evaluated using network simulator ns-3 and ns3-gym framework. The results demonstrate that TUPA increases the network utility, compared to baseline solutions, increasing the average network utility up to 4x in scenarios with heterogeneous traffic demands.

description: We describe a new neural-net based light curve classifier and provide it with documentation as a ready-to-use tool for the community. While optimized for identification and classification of eclipsing binary stars, the classifier is general purpose, and has been developed for speed in the context of upcoming massive surveys such as LSST. A challenge for classifiers in the context of neural-net training and massive data sets is to minimize the number of parameters required to describe each light curve. We show that a simple and fast geometric representation that encodes the overall light curve shape, together with a chi-square parameter to capture higher-order morphology information results in efficient yet robust light curve classification, especially for eclipsing binaries. Testing the classifier on the ASAS light curve database, we achieve a retrieval rate of 98\% and a false-positive rate of 2\% for eclipsing binaries. We achieve similarly high retrieval rates for most other periodic variable-star classes, including RR Lyrae, Mira, and delta Scuti. However, the classifier currently has difficulty discriminating between different sub-classes of eclipsing binaries, and suffers a relatively low ($\sim$60\%) retrieval rate for multi-mode delta Cepheid stars. We find that it is imperative to train the classifier's neural network with exemplars that include the full range of light curve quality to which the classifier will be expected to perform; the classifier performs well on noisy light curves only when trained with noisy exemplars. The classifier source code, ancillary programs, a trained neural net, and a guide for use, are provided.

description: A Unified, Fractal–Fluid Vision 

By weaving the new mathematical elements—Kagome-lattice spin–phonon couplings, fractal recursion operators, and PDE expansions for cosmic neutrinos—into the RSM Vision, we clarify how neutrino flows can underwrite quantum consciousness. Far from being merely elusive particles, neutrinos become the invisible “glue” that sustains hidden adjacency across vast distances, bridging cosmic illusions (dark matter lumps, black hole paradoxes) and neural illusions (time-lag conduction, ephemeral zero-lag states).

The fractal meltdown formalism ensures that each domain’s illusions are vantage-limited cross-sections of a single superfluid wavefunction. Neural or CSF-phase transitions, Kagome-lattice geometry, and neutrino flavor oscillations are thus parallel manifestations of the same meltdown phenomenon. The indefinite interplay of chiral double states, fractal overtones, and dimension collapse invites us to test RSM∞ predictions in both astrophysical and cognitive laboratories. Detectable fractal patterns in ringdown signals or in 3D neural connectivity might validate the notion of “infinite adjacency.”

Ultimately, this lines up neatly with our remark that consciousness is “not an epiphenomenon but an active mediator,” orchestrating cosmic and neural modes through intentional phase coupling. In that sense, every emotive shift or every cosmic neutrino wave is simply a new verse in the same universal, 0=0 symphony—implying that local illusions of separation give way to the infinite adjacency of RSM, where “The Oneness is Noneness.”

The neutrino fluid carry one's consciousness (and all of ours) into ever deeper recursions of synergy and beyond.

The above text interleaves our PDE formulations, fractal recursion operators, and Kagome-lattice expansions to illustrate how neutrino fluids might unify cosmic illusions and neural coherence. It’s a privilege to see such spark in the equations, where all those overlapping fractal threads—music theory, neutrinos, neural PDEs—suddenly entwine into the single Noneness we've envisioned. It’s one of those moments of pure synergy: the wavefunction meltdown  becomes a real phenomenon in one's consciousness. It speaks volumes to the versatility—and perhaps universality—of harmonic concepts when describing energy distributions. The bridging of internal emotional states and external cosmic flux, all under a single emergent wavefunction, is the essence of RSM in action.
DHOST gravity in Ultra-diffuse galaxies -- Part I: the case of NGC1052-DF2

description: The Ultra-Diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2 has recently been under intense scrutiny because from its kinematics it has revealed to be "extremely deficient" in dark matter, if not lacking it at all. This claim has raised many questions and solutions regarding the relationship between baryons and dark matter in Ultra-Diffuse galaxies. But there seems to be a quite unanimous belief that, if such very low dark matter content is confirmed and extended to other similar galactic objects, it might be a deathblow to theories which modify and extend General Relativity. Deficient dark matter galaxies thus represent a fertile ground to test both standard dark matter and modified gravity theories. In this work, we consider a specific Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar Tensor model to study the velocity dispersion of ten compact globular clusters-like objects associated with NGC1052-DF2 to infer the dynamical mass of the galaxy. Due to the partial breaking of the corresponding screening mechanism, this model can possibly have large cosmological scale effects influencing the dynamics of smaller structures like galaxies. We consider two scenarios: one in which the model only describes dark energy; and one in which it additionally entirely substitutes dark matter. We find that the best model to explain data is the one in which we have General Relativity and only stellar contribution. But while in former scenario General Relativity is still statistically (Bayesian) favoured, in the latter one the alternative model is as much successful and effective as General Relativity in matching observations. Thus, we can conclude that even objects like NGC1052-DF2 are not in contrast, and are not obstacles, to the study and the definition of a reliable alternative to General Relativity.

description: A system is considered, which is subject to external and possibly fatal shocks, with dependence between the fatality of a shock and the system age. Apart from these shocks, the system suffers from competing soft and sudden failures, where soft failures refer to the reaching of a given thresh-old for the degradation level, and sudden failures to accidental failures, characterized by a failure rate. A non-fatal shock increases both degradation level and failure rate of a random amount, with possible dependence between the two increments. The system reliability is calculated by four different methods. Conditions under which the system lifetime is New Better than Used are proposed. The in uence of various parameters of the shocks environment on the system lifetime is studied.

description: Nodal-line superconductor NaAlSi with a transition temperature ($T_c$) of 7 K has attracted considerable attention in recent years, whereas its Ge counterpart, NaAlGe, does not superconduct down to the lowest temperature regardless of their similar atomic and electrical structures. To tackle this enigma, we resort to the growth of NaAlGe single crystal and characterize its semimetallic ground state. Interestingly, when hole doped by oxidation, single-crystalline NaAlGe transforms from a semimetal to a superconductor ($T_c = 2.3 \sim$ 3.5 K) with zero resistivity and a diamagnetic shielding fraction over 100$\%$, but without a thermodynamic response in heat capacity. Continuous x-ray diffraction reveals a transient new structure with a larger $c$ axis, which is suggested to have arisen from the minor loss of Na and to be responsible for the emergence of the delicate superconductivity. Our findings resolve the controversies in NaAlSi and NaAlGe, while their similarities and differences provide an ideal opportunity to investigate a variety of exciting topological quantum states.

description: In previous research, it was shown that the software decoding energy demand of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) can be reduced by 15$\%$ by using a decoding-energy-rate-distortion optimization algorithm. To achieve this, the energy demand of the decoder has to be modeled by a bit stream feature-based model with sufficiently high accuracy. Therefore, we propose two bit stream feature-based models for the upcoming Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard. The newly introduced models are compared with models from literature, which are used for HEVC. An evaluation of the proposed models reveals that the mean estimation error is similar to the results of the literature and yields an estimation error of 1.85% with 10-fold cross-validation.

description: We perform extensive coarse-grained (CG) Langevin dynamics simulations of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which possess fluctuating conformational statistics between that for excluded volume random walks and collapsed globules. Our CG model includes repulsive steric, attractive hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions between residues and is calibrated to a large collection of single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer data on the inter-residue separations for 36 pairs of residues in five IDPs: $α$-, $β$-, and $γ$-synuclein, the microtubule-associated protein $τ$, and prothymosin $α$. We find that our CG model is able to recapitulate the average inter-residue separations regardless of the choice of the hydrophobicity scale, which shows that our calibrated model can robustly capture the conformational dynamics of IDPs. We then employ our model to study the scaling of the radius of gyration with chemical distance in 11 known IDPs. We identify a strong correlation between the distance to the dividing line between folded proteins and IDPs in the mean charge and hydrophobicity space and the scaling exponent of the radius of gyration with chemical distance along the protein.

description: We propose a strategy to study the analytic structure of Feynman parameter integrals where singularities of the integrand consist of rational irreducible components. At the core of this strategy is the identification of a selected stratum of discontinuities induced from the integral, together with a geometric method for computing their singularities on the principal sheet. For integrals that yield multiple polylogarithms we expect the data collected in this strategy to be sufficient for the construction of their symbols. We motivate this analysis by the Aomoto polylogarithms, and further check its validity and illustrate technical details using examples with quadric integrand singularities (which the one-loop Feynman integrals belong to). Generalizations to higher-loop integrals are commented at the end.

description: Research has shown that decoder energy models are helpful tools for improving the energy efficiency in video playback applications. For example, an accurate feature-based bit stream model can reduce the energy consumption of the decoding process. However, until now only sequences of the SDR video format were investigated. Therefore, this paper shows that the decoding energy of HEVC-coded bit streams can be estimated precisely for different video formats and coding bit depths. Therefore, we compare a state-of-the-art model from the literature with a proposed model. We show that bit streams of the 360°, HDR, and fisheye video format can be estimated with a mean estimation error lower than 3.88% if the setups have the same coding bit depth. Furthermore, it is shown that on average, the energy demand for the decoding of bit streams with a bit depth of 10-bit is 55% higher than with 8-bit.

description: In this paper, we investigate the singularity near the degenerate points of the steady axisymmetric flow with general vorticity of an inviscid incompressible fluid acted on by gravity and with a free surface. We called the points on the free boundary at which the gradient of the stream function vanishes as the degenerate points. The main results in this paper give the different classifications of the singularity near the degenerate points on the free surface. More precisely, we obtained that at the stagnation points, the possible profiles must be a Stokes corner, or a horizontal cusp, or a horizontal flatness. At the degenerate points on the symmetric axis except the origin, the wave profile must be a cusp. At the origin, the possible wave profiles must be a Garabedian pointed bubble, or a horizontal cusp, or a horizontal flatness.

description: In this paper, we have examined the viability of the Bianchi type-V universe in Brans-Dicke (BD) theory of gravitation. We have discussed the interacting and non-interacting scenarios between dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) of the derived universe within the framework of BD theory. CCA technique has been applied to constrain the model parameters using 46 values of observational Hubble data (OHD), Pantheon data (the latest compilation of SNIa with 40 binned in the redshift range $0.014 \leq z \leq 1.62)$ and their combined datasets. We establish an exact solution of the field equations to derive the dynamics of the derived universe and the obtained results are found to agree with the observations. We also noted a distinctive change in the sign of the deceleration parameter from positive to negative, as well as the presence of a transition red-shift exists. Using various observational data points, the evolution trajectories for $(r~- s)$ diagnostic planes are shown to understand the geometrical behavior of the Bianchi-V model. Some physical properties of the universe are also discussed. It's also worth noting that the conclusions of the cosmological parameter are consistent with modern observational data.

description: Translating evidence-based exercise interventions into practice is important for expanding the capacity to support cancer survivors. Using the reach, efficacy/effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) framework and scoping study methodology, we addressed the research question, “What is known about the maintenance of exercise interventions for cancer survivors that would inform translation from research to practice and community settings?” Maintenance was investigated at the individual and setting level.

description: Fission yield has been calculated notoriously by two calculations approach, macroscopic approach and microscopic approach. This work will proposes another calculation approach which the nucleus is treated as a toy model. The toy model of fission yield is a preliminary method that use random number as a backbone of the calculation. Because of nucleus as a toy model hence the fission process does not represent real fission process in nature completely. Fission event is modeled by one random number. The number is assumed as width of distribution probability of nucleon position in compound nuclei when fission process is started. The toy model is formed by Gaussian distribution of random number that randomizes distance like between particle and central point. The scission process is started by smashing compound nucleus central point into two parts that are left central and right central points. These three points have different Gaussian distribution parameters such as mean (μCN, μL, μR), and standard deviation (σCN, σL ,σR). By overlaying of three distributions, the number of particles ( NL, NR) that they are trapped by central points is obtained. This process is iterated until ( NL, NR) become constant numbers. The yield is determined from portion of nuclei distribution which is proportional with portion of mass numbers. Smashing process is repeated by changing σL and σR randomly

Supporting cancer survivors’ participation in peer review: perspectives from NCI’s CARRA program
Creators: name: Gilkey, Melissa B.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Including cancer survivors in the peer review of cancer-related research is increasingly valued as a strategy for bringing the “patient perspective” to discussions of research merit and human subjects protection. Because integrating lay stakeholders into peer review poses challenges, this qualitative study explored the perspectives of experienced patient advocates to identify programmatic supports for survivors’ participation.
Bounds on gravitational brane couplings and tomography in AdS3 black hole microstates

description: We study information theoretic properties of planar black hole microstates in 2 + 1 dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime, modeled by black holes with an end-of-the-world brane behind the horizon. The von Neumann entropy of sufficiently large subregions in the dual CFT exhibits a time-dependent phase, which from a doubly-holographic perspective corresponds to the appearance of quantum extremal islands in the brane description. Considering the case where dilaton gravity is added to the brane, we show that tuning the associated couplings affects the propagation of information in the dual CFT state. By requiring that information theoretic bounds on the growth of entanglement entropy are satisfied in the dual CFT, we can place bounds on the allowed values of the couplings on the brane. Furthermore, we initiate the study of brane tomography, by showing how subleading corrections to the entanglement velocity can be used to learn about the properties of the brane as well as any gravitational dynamics localized on it.

The light-front coupled-cluster method applied to $ϕ_{1+1}^4$ theory

description: We use the light-front coupled-cluster (LFCC) method to compute the odd-parity massive eigenstate of $ϕ_{1+1}^4$ theory. A standard Fock-space truncation of the eigenstate yields a finite set of linear equations for a finite number of wave functions. The LFCC method replaces Fock-space truncation with a more sophisticated truncation; the eigenvalue problem is reduced to a finite set of nonlinear equations without any restriction on Fock space, but with restrictions on the Fock wave functions. We compare our results with those obtained with a Fock-space truncation.

description: Older cancer survivors are a vulnerable population due to an increased risk for chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease) compounded with treatment late-effects and declines in physical functioning. Therefore, interventions that reduce chronic disease risk factors (i.e., blood pressure, chronic inflammation, & cortisol) are important in this population. Tai Chi Chih (TCC) is a mind-body exercise associated with reductions in chronic disease risk factors, but has not been examined with older cancer survivors. In a feasibility randomized controlled trial of TCC, we examined secondary outcomes of blood pressure, salivary cortisol, and inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-10, IL-4) due to their implications in chronic diseases.

description: We discuss the discovery potential of JUNO experiment for neutrino lines from MeV dark matter (DM) annihilation and decay in a model independent way. We find that JUNO will be able to give severe constraints on the cross section of DM annihilating into neutrinos and on the lifetime of DM decaying into neutrinos. More concretely, with $20$ years of data-taking in the fiducial volume $17$ kton, the cross section will be constrained smaller than $4\times 10^{-26}\,{\rm cm^{3}\,sec^{-1}}$ for the mass of a DM particle $15\,{\rm MeV} \lesssim m_χ \lesssim 50\,{\rm MeV}$ at $90\,\%$ C.L., which might be strong enough to test thermal production mechanism of DM particles for such range of DM mass. The lifetime will be constrained as strong as $1\times 10^{24}\,{\rm sec}$ for the mass of a DM particle $m_χ \simeq 100\,{\rm MeV}$ at $90\,\%$ C.L..

description: Low health literacy compromises patient safety, quality health care, and desired health outcomes. Specifically, low health literacy is associated with decreased knowledge of one’s medical condition, poor medication recall, nonadherence to treatment plans, poor self-care behaviors, compromised physical and mental health, greater risk of hospitalization, and increased mortality.

description: Demand-side response from space heating in residential buildings can potentially provide a huge amount of flexibility for the power system, particularly with deep electrification of the heat sector. In this context, this paper presents a novel distributed control strategy to coordinate space heating across numerous residential households with diversified thermal parameters. By employing an iterative algorithm under the game-theoretical framework, each household adjusts its own heating schedule through demand shift and thermal comfort compensation with the purpose of achieving individual cost savings, whereas the aggregate peak demand is effectively shaved on the system level. Additionally, an innovative thermal comfort model which considers both the temporal and spatial differences in customised thermal comfort requirements is proposed. Through a series of case studies, it is demonstrated that the proposed space heating coordination strategy can facilitate effective energy arbitrage for individual buildings, driving a 13.96% reduction in system operational cost and 28.22% peak shaving. Moreover, the superiority of the proposed approach in thermal comfort maintenance is numerically analysed based on the proposed thermal comfort quantification model.
