description: The digitization of the world has also led to a digitization of communication processes. Traditional research methods fall short in understanding communication in digital worlds as the scope has become too large in volume, variety, and velocity to be studied using traditional approaches. In this paper, we present computational methods and their use in public and mass communication research and how those could be adapted to professional communication research. The paper is a proposal for a panel in which the panelists, each an expert in their field, will present their current work using computational methods and will discuss transferability of these methods to professional communication.

description: We propose a unification of some fine-tuning problems -- really in this article only the problem of why the weak scale is so small in energy compared to a presumed fundamental scale, being say the Planck scale -- by postulating the zero or very small value of the cosmological constant not only for one but for several vacua. This postulate corresponds to what we have called the Multiple Point Principle, namely that there be many ``vacuum'' states with the same energy density. We further assume that 6 top quarks and 6 anti-top quarks can bind by Higgs exchange so strongly as to become tachyonic and form a condensate. This gives rise to the possibility of having a phase transition between vacua with and without such a condensate. The two vacua distinguished by such a condensate will have the same cosmological constant provided the top Yukawa coupling is about $1.1 \pm 0.2$, in good correspondence with the experimental value. The further requirement that this value of the Yukawa coupling, at the weak scale, be compatible with the existence of a third vacuum, with a Higgs field expectation value of the order of the fundamental scale, enforces a hierarchical scale ratio between the fundamental and weak scales of order $10^{16}$ -- $10^{20}$.

description: In this paper, we evaluate training of deep recurrent neural networks with half-precision floats. We implement a distributed, data-parallel, synchronous training algorithm by integrating TensorFlow and CUDA-aware MPI to enable execution across multiple GPU nodes and making use of high-speed interconnects. We introduce a learning rate schedule facilitating neural network convergence at up to $O(100)$ workers. Strong scaling tests performed on clusters of NVIDIA Pascal P100 GPUs show linear runtime and logarithmic communication time scaling for both single and mixed precision training modes. Performance is evaluated on a scientific dataset taken from the Joint European Torus (JET) tokamak, containing multi-modal time series of sensory measurements leading up to deleterious events called plasma disruptions, and the benchmark Large Movie Review Dataset~\cite{imdb}. Half-precision significantly reduces memory and network bandwidth, allowing training of state-of-the-art models with over 70 million trainable parameters while achieving a comparable test set performance as single precision.

description: Weather is one of the most difficult variables with which the agricultural economist must deal, but deal with it he must. We have sought a magic number which would represent climatic change and we have tried to put parameters around weather that would bring it within the confines of our tables and models. But the problem remains intractable. In any given year, the Indian monsoon and the amount of rainfall on the Great Plains of the United States and Canada and the steppes of Russia will have more influence on the price of wheat than the price support and adjustment programs of the United States and the Common Market. Yet for any given year, what will happen so far as the weather is concerned simply cannot be predicted.

We check the gradient formula to the third order in perturbation theory around a fixed point. Special consideration is given to situations when resonant terms are present exhibiting logarithmic divergences and universal nonlinearities in beta functions. The gradient formula is found to work to the given order.

description: We study gravitini zero modes in four dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 2$ pure supergravity theory. The gravitini zero modes we study are solutions to the Rarita-Schwinger equations of motion in the background of the purely bosonic Majumdar-Papapetrou background. We start with a very generic ansatz for the gravitini that involves $32$ ansatz functions and reduce the Rarita-Schwinger equations to a set of linear coupled partial differential equations on $\mathbf{R}^3$: the kind familiar from electromagnetism with divergences, curls etc. We first show how the gravitini zero modes due to broken supersymmetries arise in this set-up and how they solve the equations on $\mathbf{R}^3$. Then we go on and obtain other solutions to these equations: the `extra' fermion zero modes. If we count the fermion zero mode due to broken supersymmetries as one spinor worth of solutions, we have obtained three other spinors worth of solutions.

Privacy Protection in Distributed Fingerprint-based Authentication

description: Biometric authentication is getting increasingly popular due to the convenience of using unique individual traits, such as fingerprints, palm veins, irises. Especially fingerprints are widely used nowadays due to the availability and low cost of fingerprint scanners. To avoid identity theft or impersonation, fingerprint data is typically stored locally, e.g., in a trusted hardware module, in a single device that is used for user enrollment and authentication. Local storage, however, limits the ability to implement distributed applications, in which users can enroll their fingerprint once and use it to access multiple physical locations and mobile applications afterwards. In this paper, we present a distributed authentication system that stores fingerprint data in a server or cloud infrastructure in a privacy-preserving way. Multiple devices can be connected and perform user enrollment or verification. To secure the privacy and integrity of sensitive data, we employ a cryptographic construct called fuzzy vault. We highlight challenges in implementing fuzzy vault-based authentication, for which we propose and compare alternative solutions. We conduct a security analysis of our biometric cryptosystem, and as a proof of concept, we build an authentication system for access control using resource-constrained devices (Raspberry Pis) connected to fingerprint scanners and the Microsoft Azure cloud environment. Furthermore, we evaluate the fingerprint matching algorithm against the well-known FVC2006 database and show that it can achieve comparable accuracy to widely-used matching techniques that are not designed for privacy, while remaining efficient with an authentication time of few seconds.

On orthogonal invariants in characteristic 2

description: Working over an algebraically closed base field $k$ of characteristic 2, the ring of invariants $R^G$ is studied, where $G$ is the orthogonal group O(n) or the special orthogonal group SO(n), acting naturally on the coordinate ring $R$ of the $m$-fold direct sum $k^n \oplus...\oplus k^n$ of the standard vector representation. It is proved for O(2), $O(3)=SO(3)$, SO(4), and O(4), that there exists an $m$-linear invariant with $m$ arbitrarily large, which is not expressible as a polynomial of invariants of lower degree. This is in sharp contrast with the uniform description of the ring of invariants valid in all other characteristics, and supports the conjecture that the same phenomena occur for all $n$. For general even $n$, new O(n)-invariants are constructed, which are not expressible as polynomials of the quadratic invariants. In contrast with these results, it is shown that rational invariants have a uniform description valid in all characteristics. Similarly, if $m \leq n$, then $R^O(n)$ is generated by the obvious invariants. For all $n$, the algebra $R^G$ is a finitely generated module over the subalgebra generated by the quadratic invariants, and for odd $n$, the square of any SO(n)-invariant is a polynomial of the quadratic invariants. Finally we mention that for even $n$, an $n$-linear SO(n)-invariant is given, which distinguishes between SO(n) and O(n) (just like the determinant in all characteristics different from 2).

The similarity in the range of environments and mean clustering amplitude between our sample and QSOs over a similar redshift range is consistent with the interpretation where evolutionary connections between IR-luminous galaxies and QSOs are stronger at z>0.5 than locally, and that, at these redshifts, the processes that drive QSO evolution are similar to those that drive IR-luminous galaxy evolution. From comparison of the HLIRG and QSO host galaxies we further postulate that a larger fraction of IR-luminous galaxies pass through an optical QSO stage at z>0.5 than locally.

Future Vulnerability of the Great Plains Region to Drought

description: The Great Plains-Shortgrass Prairie covers some 320 thousand square miles that ecologically belong to the Steppe Division of the Dry Domain. It has a semiarid continental climate regime with annual precipitation ranging from 10 to 25 inches, and evaporation usually exceeding precipitation. Droughts are unavoidable occurrences throughout the area and even in "normal" rainfall years, ground water overdrafts, mainly for irrigation purposes, are staggering. In 1975 withdrawals resulted in overdrafts to about 63% in the Arkansas-White-Red region, and 25% in the Missouri region. During the same year irrigation consumptive use of water in these two regions was more than 21 billion gallons a day; that represented one-fourth of the country's irrigation water consumption. Irrigated and dryl and cotton, wheat, corn, soybeans and sorghum are grown in the Great Plains. The land that overlies the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the main water resources of the region, is about one hundred thousand square miles. The irrigated crop production in this six-state area represents a total of more than two billion dollars per year in cash receipts, and the value of the livestock industry is more than ten billion dollars per year. Irrigated feed grain production is of primary importance in support of a healthy and growing cattle industry. There has been a net conversion of cropland to grassland between 1967-75 in the Great Plains, but 15 million acres of range and pasture lands went into dry and irrigated cropland. Grass and range lands in these ten states have generally improved due to better management, and in some areas soil erosion has decreased, water supplies have increased due to conservation measures, production and wildlife habitat has increased, and the impacts of extreme weather events have decreased, compared to 1930s conditions.

description: A new semi-supervised ensemble algorithm called XGBOD (Extreme Gradient Boosting Outlier Detection) is proposed, described and demonstrated for the enhanced detection of outliers from normal observations in various practical datasets. The proposed framework combines the strengths of both supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods by creating a hybrid approach that exploits each of their individual performance capabilities in outlier detection. XGBOD uses multiple unsupervised outlier mining algorithms to extract useful representations from the underlying data that augment the predictive capabilities of an embedded supervised classifier on an improved feature space. The novel approach is shown to provide superior performance in comparison to competing individual detectors, the full ensemble and two existing representation learning based algorithms across seven outlier datasets.

description: We present calculations of quasiequilibrium sequences of irrotational binary neutron stars based on realistic equations of state (EOS) for the whole neutron star interior. Three realistic nuclear EOSs of various softness and based on different microscopic models have been joined with a recent realistic EOS of the crust, giving in this way three different EOSs of neutron-star interior. Computations of quasiequilibrium sequences are performed within the Isenberg-Wilson-Mathews approximation to general relativity. For all evolutionary sequences, the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) is found to be given by mass-shedding limit (Roche lobe overflow). The EOS dependence on the last orbits is found to be quite important: for two 1.35 M_sol neutron stars, the gravitational wave frequency at the ISCO (which marks the end of the inspiral phase) ranges from 800 Hz to 1200 Hz, depending upon the EOS. Detailed comparisons with 3rd order post-Newtonian results for point-mass binaries reveals a very good agreement until hydrodynamical effects (dominated by high-order functions of frequency) become important, which occurs at a frequency ranging from 500 Hz to 1050 Hz, depending upon the EOS.

description: It is widely believed that electroweak baryogenesis should be suppressed in strong phase transitions with fast-moving bubble walls, but this effect has never been quantitatively studied. We rederive fluid equations describing transport of particle asymmetries near the bubble wall without making the small-wall-velocity approximation. We show that the suppression of the baryon asymmetry is a smooth function of the wall speed and that there is no special behavior when crossing the sound speed barrier. Electroweak baryogenesis can thus be efficient also with strong detonations, generically associated with models with observably large gravitational waves. We also make a systematic and critical comparison of our improved transport equations to another one commonly used in the literature, based on the VEV-insertion formalism.

Price support programs originated in 1933 with the passage of the Agricultural Adjustment Act which at that time was aimed at restoring the purchasing power of agricultural commodities. This goal became known as parity, where the term parity comprehends an equality of exchange relationship between agriculture and industry or between persons living on farms and persons not living on farms (Rasmussen and Baker).

description: We validate the discovery of a 2 Earth radii sub-Neptune-size planet around the nearby high proper motion M2.5-dwarf G 9-40 (EPIC 212048748), using high-precision near-infrared (NIR) radial velocity (RV) observations with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF), precision diffuser-assisted ground-based photometry with a custom narrow-band photometric filter, and adaptive optics imaging. At a distance of $d=27.9\mathrm{pc}$, G 9-40b is the second closest transiting planet discovered by K2 to date. The planet's large transit depth ($\sim$3500ppm), combined with the proximity and brightness of the host star at NIR wavelengths (J=10, K=9.2) makes G 9-40b one of the most favorable sub-Neptune-sized planet orbiting an M-dwarf for transmission spectroscopy with JWST, ARIEL, and the upcoming Extremely Large Telescopes. The star is relatively inactive with a rotation period of $\sim$29 days determined from the K2 photometry. To estimate spectroscopic stellar parameters, we describe our implementation of an empirical spectral matching algorithm using the high-resolution NIR HPF spectra. Using this algorithm, we obtain an effective temperature of $T_{\mathrm{eff}}=3404\pm73$K, and metallicity of $\mathrm{[Fe/H]}=-0.08\pm0.13$. Our RVs, when coupled with the orbital parameters derived from the transit photometry, exclude planet masses above $11.7 M_\oplus$ with 99.7% confidence assuming a circular orbit. From its radius, we predict a mass of $M=5.0^{+3.8}_{-1.9} M_\oplus$ and an RV semi-amplitude of $K=4.1^{+3.1}_{-1.6}\mathrm{m\:s^{-1}}$, making its mass measurable with current RV facilities. We urge further RV follow-up observations to precisely measure its mass, to enable precise transmission spectroscopic measurements in the future.

description: The increasing demand on memory from the next-generation technologies facilitated the pathfinding and development of emerging memories, among which Resistive Random-Access Memory (RRAM) is one of the most competitive options and least understood. Many attempts have been made to understand the resistive switching phenomena in metal-oxide RRAM, most of which suffered artifacts introduced from the testing or characterization processes. In my PhD work, I selected TiN/TaO2/TiN-based RRAM to understand the mechanism of electroformation, resistive switching, filament evolution, and endurance failure of such memory cells using electrical characterization and electron microscopy techniques.
The findings of my thesis work indicate that the behavior of TaO2-based RRAM is a mixture of both Valence Change Model (VCM) and Thermochemical Model (TCM). During electroformation, the Ta moves laterally towards the hot spot and down the direction of the electric field, whereas the O moves up the electric field. The motion of both Ta and O results in the TaO0.4 filament core and Ta2O5 gap after forming, corresponding to the high resistance state (HRS). The localized heating during forming also induces temperature activated ionic interdiffusion of O and Ti across the interfaces. The resistive switching is induced by the electric field applied across the device leading to Ta-rich sub-filaments forming and breaking the connection between the filament core and the electrode. Repeated resistive switching provides a virtual annealing in the conductive filament, causing the material in proximity of the filament to phase separate into metallic Ta and Ta2O5. The phase separation continues if provided with longer electrical stressing and will result in SET failure due to the Ta particles isolated by the Ta2O5 matrix. The intrinsic cycle-to-cycle variability of metal-oxide RRAM causing stochastic sub-filament overgrowth can lead the device to RESET failure. Endurance can be potentially improved by reducing interdiffusion and controlling the temperature in the memory cell during programming operations.

description: In this paper, we propose a new metric to measure goodness-of-fit for classifiers, the Real World Cost function. This metric factors in information about a real world problem, such as financial impact, that other measures like accuracy or F1 do not. This metric is also more directly interpretable for users. To optimize for this metric, we introduce the Real-World- Weight Crossentropy loss function, in both binary and single-label classification variants. Both variants allow direct input of real world costs as weights. For single-label, multicategory classification, our loss function also allows direct penalization of probabilistic false positives, weighted by label, during the training of a machine learning model. We compare the design of our loss function to the binary crossentropy and categorical crossentropy functions, as well as their weighted variants, to discuss the potential for improvement in handling a variety of known shortcomings of machine learning, ranging from imbalanced classes to medical diagnostic error to reinforcement of social bias. We create scenarios that emulate those issues using the MNIST data set and demonstrate empirical results of our new loss function. Finally, we sketch a proof of this function based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation and discuss future directions.

description: The largest component (``the leader'') in evolving random structures often exhibits universal statistical properties. This phenomenon is demonstrated analytically for two ubiquitous structures: random trees and random graphs. In both cases, lead changes are rare as the average number of lead changes increases quadratically with logarithm of the system size. As a function of time, the number of lead changes is self-similar. Additionally, the probability that no lead change ever occurs decays exponentially with the average number of lead changes.

description: Automated pavement distress detection via road images is still a challenging issue among pavement researchers and computer-vision community. In recent years, advancement in deep learning has enabled researchers to develop robust tools for analyzing pavement images at unprecedented accuracies. Nevertheless, deep learning models necessitate a big ground truth dataset, which is often not readily accessible for pavement field. In this study, we reviewed our previous study, which a labeled pavement dataset was presented as the first step towards a more robust, easy-to-deploy pavement condition assessment system. In total, 7237 google street-view images were extracted, manually annotated for classification (nine categories of distress classes). Afterward, YOLO (you look only once) deep learning framework was implemented to train the model using the labeled dataset. In the current study, a U-net based model is developed to quantify the severity of the distresses, and finally, a hybrid model is developed by integrating the YOLO and U-net model to classify the distresses and quantify their severity simultaneously. Various pavement condition indices are developed by implementing various machine learning algorithms using the YOLO deep learning framework for distress classification and U-net for segmentation and distress densification. The output of the distress classification and segmentation models are used to develop a comprehensive pavement condition tool which rates each pavement image according to the type and severity of distress extracted.

description: The globalization of markets and rapid changes in technoklgy during the 1980's both heightened international competition and created new opportunities. The high-tech, high innovation "New Economy" of the 1980's was an urban economy, requiring access to information and highly specialized services. Earnings rose for the better-educated in urban, but not in rural areas, over the decade. Some of the forces acting to centralize the economy were clearly economic or related to industrial organization; others were demographic, related to the size and characteristics of the cohort entering the labor force; and others were related to a shift in federal influence on local policy and federal distribution of funds. The inner city and rural areas fared most poorly in the newly deregulated environment, while suburban nodes expanded. Metro-nonmetro and regional inequalities are parts of a larger post-industrial process that is widening the economic gap between specific groups. The past decade has made clear that remoteness and small size have continuing importance to economic success.
Rapid escape of ultra-hot exoplanet atmospheres driven by Hydrogen Balmer absorption

description: Atmospheric escape is key to explaining the long-term evolution of planets in our Solar System and beyond, and in the interpretation of atmospheric measurements. Hydrodynamic escape is generally thought to be driven by the flux of extreme ultraviolet photons that the planet receives from its host star. Here, we show that the escape from planets orbiting hot stars proceeds through a different yet complementary process: drawing its energy from the intense near ultraviolet emission of the star that is deposited within an optically thin, high-altitude atmospheric layer of hydrogen excited into the lower state of the Balmer series. The ultra-hot exoplanet KELT-9b likely represents the first known instance of this Balmer-driven escape. In this regime of hydrodynamic escape, the near ultraviolet emission from the star is more important at determining the planet mass loss than the extreme ultraviolet emission, and uncertainties in the latter become less critical. Further, we predict that gas exoplanets around hot stars may experience catastrophic mass loss when they are less massive than 1--2 Jupiter masses and closer-in than KELT-9b, thereby challenging the paradigm that all large exoplanets are stable to atmospheric escape. We argue that extreme escape will affect the demographics of close-in exoplanets orbiting hot stars.

description: In this study we examine efforts to promote community-based economic development, what we refer to as self-development. Self-development strategies involve local governments or quasi-governmental units working with other public and private entities to develop enterprises providing employment, income, and services to local communities. These enterprises are locally controlled. Based on data collected from more than 100 communities adopting these strategies, we evaluate how and why communities pursue this form of development, the relative costs and benefits of these strategies, and the factors influencing the jobs created and income generated in these efforts. Self-development projects face many of the same obstacles as traditional economic development activities. Credit, however, may be more of a problem for self-development efforts than other economic development activities because lenders are hesitant to take the risk. Finally, success at self-development requires adopting the appropriate organizational structure, obtaining technical assistance, and choosing a strategy that fits the local economic and social structure.

description: In this letter we apply a method recently devised in \cite{aapla03} to find precise approximate solutions to a certain class of nonlinear differential equations. The analysis carried out in \cite{aapla03} is refined and results of much higher precision are obtained for the problems previously considered (Duffing equation, sextic oscillator). Fast convergence to the exact results is observed both for the frequency and for the Fourier coefficients. The method is also applied with success to more general polynomial potentials (the octic oscillator) and to the Van Der Pol equation.
