description: We consider the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation for the stochastic growth of an interface of height $h(x,t)$ on the positive half line with boundary condition $\partial_x h(x,t)|_{x=0}=A$. It is equivalent to a continuum directed polymer (DP) in a random potential in half-space with a wall at $x=0$ either repulsive $A>0$, or attractive $A<0$. We provide an exact solution, using replica Bethe ansatz methods, to two problems which were recently proved to be equivalent [Parekh, arXiv:1901.09449]: the droplet initial condition for arbitrary $A \geqslant -1/2$, and the Brownian initial condition with a drift for $A=+\infty$ (infinite hard wall). We study the height at $x=0$ and obtain (i) at all time the Laplace transform of the distribution of its exponential (ii) at infinite time, its exact probability distribution function (PDF). These are expressed in two equivalent forms, either as a Fredholm Pfaffian with a matrix valued kernel, or as a Fredholm determinant with a scalar kernel. For droplet initial conditions and $A> - \frac{1}{2}$ the large time PDF is the GSE Tracy-Widom distribution. For $A= \frac{1}{2}$, the critical point at which the DP binds to the wall, we obtain the GOE Tracy-Widom distribution. In the critical region, $A+\frac{1}{2} = εt^{-1/3} \to 0$ with fixed $ε= \mathcal{O}(1)$, we obtain a transition kernel continuously depending on $ε$. Our work extends the results obtained previously for $A=+\infty$, $A=0$ and $A=- \frac{1}{2}$.

description: This paper conceptualizes a framework of political steering that includes modern conceptions of power as formulated by Foucault, Habermas, Bourdieu and others and applies it to the empirical analysis of the EU neighborhood policies. Analyzing the promotion of human rights and democracy as part of a comprehensive security strategy in Morocco since 2003, the authors scrutinize the use and the resonance of hierarchic, indirect and soft steering modes in EU external governance in the Southern Mediterranean. The findings suggest that Europe employs a complex strategy that targets governing officials, civil society actors and society at large, each with a respective mix of steering modes. Whereas classic incentives failed to initiate reforms at the government level, they proved effective in empowering Moroccan civil society actors. Soft modes are shown to play a decisive role in shaping the self-image of the administration officials vis-à-vis the EU and the parameters of public discourse on human rights and democracy, thus allowing for non-governmental actors to encroach on the government and demand democratic reforms. The integrated perspective on steering mechanisms in EU neighborhood policies thereby reveals the need to further explore micro-techniques of power in external governance analysis.

description: We consider a nanoparticle levitated in a Paul trap in ultrahigh cryogenic vacuum, and look for the conditions which allow for a stringent noninterferometric test of spontaneous collapse models. In particular we compare different possible techniques to detect the particle motion. Key conditions which need to be achieved are extremely low residual pressure and the ability to detect the particle at ultralow power. We compare three different detection approaches based respectively on a optical cavity, optical tweezer and a electrical readout, and for each one we assess advantages, drawbacks and technical challenges.

We propose the use of SU(1,1) for two reasons: because of the isomorphism between its representation Hilbert space and that of the harmonic oscillator and because zero point energy is implied by the representation structure. Finally, we also comment on the relation between dissipation and quantization.

Feature selection based on cluster assumption in PU learning

Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Feature selection is essential for efficient data mining and sometimes encounters the positive-unlabeled (PU) learning scenario, where only a few positive labels are available, while most data remains unlabeled. In certain real-world PU learning tasks, data subjected to adequate feature selection often form clusters with concentrated positive labels. Conventional feature selection methods that treat unlabeled data as negative may fail to capture the statistical characteristics of positive data in such scenarios, leading to suboptimal performance. To address this, we propose a novel feature selection method based on the cluster assumption in PU learning, called FSCPU. FSCPU formulates the feature selection problem as a binary optimization task, with an objective function explicitly designed to incorporate the cluster assumption in the PU learning setting. Experiments on synthetic datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of FSCPU across various data conditions. Moreover, comparisons with 10 conventional algorithms on three open datasets show that FSCPU achieves competitive performance in downstream classification tasks, even when the cluster assumption does not strictly hold.

description: In this paper, we proposed a novel method using the elementary number theory to investigate the discrete nature of the screw dislocations in crystal lattices, simple cubic (SC) lattice and body centered cubic (BCC) lattice, by developing the algebraic description of the dislocations in the previous report (Hamada, Matsutani, Nakagawa, Saeki, Uesaka, Pacific J. Math.~for Industry {\bf{10}} (2018), 3). Using the method, we showed that the stress energy of the screw dislocations in the BCC lattice and the SC lattice are naturally described; the energy of the BCC lattice was expressed by the truncated Epstein-Hurwitz zeta function of the Eisenstein integers, whereas that of SC lattice is associated with the truncated Epstein-Hurwitz zeta function of the Gauss integers.

description: Das vorliegende Research Paper beschäftigt sich mit der Frage nach der akzeptabelsten Konzeption einer Metrik und Verteilungsregel für die gerechtigkeitstheoretische Inklusion von Menschen mit physischen und geistig- psychischen Einschränkungen auf der Grundlage eines angemessenen wissenschaftlichen Modells von Behinderung. Es wird argumentiert, dass ein Modell mit interaktionistischen Grundzügen, das die konstitutive Rolle sowohl individueller Zustände (‚Schädigungen‘) als auch befähigender und behindernder Kontexte betont, das komplexe Phänomen Behinderung am besten widerspiegelt. Ausgehend von einer Kritik an John Rawls Ansatz „Gerechtigkeit als Fairness“, den ‚glücksegalitaristischen Positionen‘ von Ronald Dworkin und Richard Arneson und den Capability-Ansätzen von Amartya Sen und Martha Nussbaum wird konstatiert, dass eine normativ sparsame Variante der Capability-Metrik mit einer Suffizienzregel der Verteilung – wie sie Elizabeth Andersons Ansatz „Demokratischer Gleichheit“ darstellt – die momentan akzeptabelste Grundlage für die gerechtigkeitstheoretische Berücksichtigung von Behinderung darstellt.

Non-unitary time evolution is described as a trajectory in the space of the representations. The generator of time evolution is related to the entropy operator. The thermodynamic arrow of time is shown to point in the same direction of the cosmological arrow of time. The vacuum is a two-mode SU(1,1) squeezed state of thermo field dynamics. The link between expanding geometry, squeezing and thermal properties is exhibited.

description: Dense, stabilized, frictional particulate suspensions in a viscous liquid undergo increasingly strong continuous shear thickening (CST) as the solid packing fraction, $ϕ$, increases above a critical volume fraction, and discontinuous shear thickening (DST) is observed for even higher packing fractions. Recent studies have related shear thickening to a transition from mostly lubricated to predominantly frictional contacts with the increase in stress. The rheology and networks of frictional forces from two and three-dimensional simulations of shear-thickening suspensions are studied. These are analyzed using measures of the topology of the network, including tools of persistent homology. We observe that at low stress the frictional interaction networks are predominantly quasi-linear along the compression axis. With an increase in stress, the force networks become more isotropic, forming loops in addition to chain-like structures. The topological measures of Betti numbers and total persistence provide a compact means of describing the mean properties of the frictional force networks and provide a key link between macroscopic rheology and the microscopic interactions. A total persistence measure describing the significance of loops in the force network structure, as a function of stress and packing fraction, shows behavior similar to that of relative viscosity and displays a scaling law near the jamming fraction for both dimensionalities simulated.

We also present an example of a Diophantine number a for which the higher correlation functions of the sequence blow up.

description: In this article we give a comprehensive treatment of a `Clifford module flow' along paths in the skew-adjoint Fredholm operators on a real Hilbert space that takes values in KO${}_{*}(\mathbb{R})$ via the Clifford index of Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro. We develop its properties for both bounded and unbounded skew-adjoint operators including an axiomatic characterization. Our constructions and approach are motivated by the principle that \[ \text{spectral flow} = \text{Fredholm index}. \] That is, we show how the KO--valued spectral flow relates to a KO-valued index by proving a Robbin-Salamon type result. The Kasparov product is also used to establish a spectral flow $=$ Fredholm index result at the level of bivariant K-theory. We explain how our results incorporate previous applications of $\mathbb{Z}/ 2\mathbb{Z}$-valued spectral flow in the study of topological phases of matter.

description: We use the linear sigma model coupled to quarks to explore the location of the phase transition lines in the QCD phase diagram from the point of view of chiral symmetry restoration at high temperature and baryon chemical potential. We compute analytically the effective potential in the high- and low-temperature approximations up to sixth order, including the contribution of the ring diagrams to account for the plasma screening properties. We determine the model parameters, namely, the couplings and mass-parameter, from conditions valid at the first order phase transition at vanishing temperature and, using the Hagedorn limiting temperature concept applied to finite baryon density, for a critical baryochemical potential of order of the nucleon mass. We show that when using the set of parameters thus determined, the second order phase transition line (our proxy for the crossover transition) that starts at finite temperature and zero baryon chemical potential converges to the line of first order phase transitions that starts at zero temperature and finite baryon chemical potential to determine the critical end point to lie in the region $5.02

description: Microwave ablation combined with concurrent biopsy has been used for lung cancer. Frozen section (FS) diagnosis is an important supplement for the final pathology (FP). Thus, a retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the concordance between FS examination and FP in the computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of lung cancer. Patients who underwent percutaneous transthoracic needle lung biopsies and were diagnosed using both intraoperative FS examination and FP were retrospectively enrolled. Concordance between FS findings and FP in the diagnosis of malignant lung cancer and the definitive histology types were recorded. Overall, 163 patients were enrolled. The concordance rate in the diagnosis of malignant tumors was 96.3%. The definitive histology types were concordant between FS examinations and FP in 112 patients (68.7%). Lung cancers undefined with FS but diagnosed as adenocarcinoma with FP were the most common type, observed in 18 patients. The concordance in the histology type was lower for those requiring immunohistochemistry for FP diagnoses (47.3 vs. 79.6%, p < 0.000). Concordance rates differed for the different histology types diagnosed using FP (adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma vs. small-cell lung cancer vs. others, 76.6 vs. 56.2 vs. 69.2 vs. 0.0%, p < 0.000). FS was inferior to FP in the diagnosis of definitive histology types, but had a high concordance with FP in the diagnosis of malignant lung cancer.

description: In this paper we study the Hilbert space structure underlying the Koopman-von Neumann (KvN) operatorial formulation of classical mechanics. KvN limited themselves to study the Hilbert space of zero-forms that are the square integrable functions on phase space. They proved that in this Hilbert space the evolution is unitary for every system. In this paper we extend the KvN Hilbert space to higher forms which are basically functions of the phase space points and the differentials on phase space. We prove that if we equip this space with a positive definite scalar product the evolution can turn out to be non-unitary for some systems. Vice versa if we insist in having a unitary evolution for every system then the scalar product cannot be positive definite. Identifying the one-forms with the Jacobi fields we provide a physical explanation of these phenomena. We also prove that the unitary/non unitary character of the evolution is invariant under canonical transformations.

description: By the late 1990s, Los Angeles faced threats from three neighborhoods — the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, and San Pedro — which all sought municipal independence by seceding from the consolidated city. The orchestrators of each secession movement promoted similar goals such as “fair share of taxes”, “smaller, more individualized government”, and “more local control.” Wealthy homeowners associations and business leaders joined forces in the San Fernando Valley to bring the issue to a citywide referendum, which ultimately failed in 2002. As former Mayor Richard Riordan became increasingly worried by these secession movements, he launched two commissions to draft a revised City Charter that voters would need to approve via referendum. A major component of the revised Charter was the creation of a “neighborhood council” system designed to “promote more citizen participation in government and make government more responsive to local needs.” Voters approved the City Charter in 1999 and neighborhood councils have been operational for nearly two decades. This thesis gauges how effective the system has been in achieving its goals of greater citizen participation and more responsive local government. The report hones in on the San Fernando Valley, where secession fervor was the strongest, to examine the extent to which land use- and development-related projects have been debated and discussed by Valley neighborhood councils. Lastly, given the anecdotal stereotype that neighborhood councils are bulwarks against any sort of change, the research explores if and how councils are embracing Los Angeles’ contemporary urbanization trends towards higher-intensity mixed-use and infill developments as well as a growing commitment to public transit expansion. The study reveals that neighborhood councils have been moderately successful in achieving goals of greater participation and more responsive municipal government despite only serving advisory functions. Neighborhood councils are frequently concerned with land use and zoning matters, and often provide feedback to City Council with their opinions of projects. As Los Angeles becomes less car-centric, neighborhood councils seem to be increasingly more amenable to higher-intensity developments and public transportation projects depending on their local impacts.

description: Individual constituent balance equations are often used to derive expressions for species-specific segregation velocities in flows of dense granular mixtures. We propose a semiempirical expression for the interspecies momentum exchange in density-bidisperse granular flows as an extension of ideas from kinetic theory and compare it to a previous viscous drag approach that is analogous to particles settling in a fluid. The proposed model expands the range of the granular kinetic theory from short-duration binary collisions to the multiple enduring contacts characteristic of dense shear flows and incorporates the effects of particle friction, concentration ratio, and local flow conditions. The segregation velocities derived from the momentum balance equation using both interspecies drag models match the downward and upward segregation velocities of heavy and light particles obtained from DEM simulations through the flowing layer depth for different density ratios and constituent concentrations in confined shear flows. Predictions of the kinetic theory inspired approach are additionally compared to results from free surface heap flow simulations, and, again, a close match is observed.

description: In 1974, the Housing and Community Development Act replaced traditional antipoverty programs with block grants, decentralizing decisions about federal funding, ostensibly to give more control to local administrators. Despite the pretense of providing greater flexibility, the focus of block grants on developing the city's physical environment circumscribed the options of local planners hoping to pursue comprehensive community development. Community Underdevelopment traces the struggle of government officials in New Orleans to fulfill the dual aims of alleviating poverty and spurring economic growth in a time of fiscal crisis. Armed with new social science techniques, planners believed that with accurate data collection and systematic planning, they could achieve these ends simultaneously. However, coping with an increasingly regressive tax regime and an anemic economy, they soon discarded this vision.
      Instead, block grants were used as stopgap measures in low-income communities while the city pursued economic development strategies that administrators acknowledged would do little to improve conditions in those neighborhoods. By the end of the decade, the hope that the private sector could achieve what the public sector could not led the city to shift federal funds away from antipoverty measures and toward boosting private-sector involvement. Low-income communities in New Orleans struggled to resist this movement, but their efforts to do so went unsupported by local officials who feared that supporting resource redistribution would jeopardize relationships with private developers. Consequently, by the end of the 1970s, local urban development strategies had largely abandoned antipoverty aims.  Rather than read this period solely as the precursor to President Ronald Reagan's unprecedented cuts to urban aid, Community Underdevelopment explores a steady shift in policy and ideology that created a political climate conducive to such dramatic reductions. Moreover, my focus on this period reveals that the movement to undercut antipoverty programs did not originate with the rise of the Reagan Revolution. Instead, it was from its inception a bipartisan assault.

description: Euphorbia micractina Boiss is a plant with high medicinal value. Yet, its molecular biology is not fully understood. In this study, we sequenced the whole chloroplast genome (CP) sequence of E. micractina to study its phylogenetic relationship in Euphorbiaceae. The total length of the chloroplast genome of E. micractina is 162,056 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,936bp bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,376 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 11,367 bp. The genome has 128 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The overall GC content of the plastome is 35.7%. The phylogenetic analysis of E. micractina with 30 related species suggested a closest taxonomical relationship with Euphorbia pekinensis in the Euphorbiaceae family.

description: We extend our study of the field-theoretic description of matrix-vector models and the associated many-body problems of one dimensional particles with spin. We construct their Yangian-su(R) invariant Hamiltonian. It describes an interacting theory of a c=1 collective boson and a k=1 su(R) current algebra. When $R \geq 3$ cubic-current terms arise. Their coupling is determined by the requirement of the Yangian symmetry. The Hamiltonian can be consistently reduced to finite-dimensional subspaces of states, enabling an explicit computation of the spectrum which we illustrate in the simplest case.

description: Modern malware can take various forms, and has reached a very high level of sophistication in terms of its penetration, persistence, communication and hiding capabilities. The use of cryptography, and of covert communication channels over public and widely used protocols and services, is becoming a norm. In this work, we start by introducing Resource Identifier Generation Algorithms. These are an extension of a well-known mechanism called Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA), which are frequently employed by cybercriminals for bot management and communication. Our extension allows, beyond DNS, the use of other protocols. More concretely, we showcase the exploitation of the InterPlanetary file system (IPFS). This is a solution for the "permanent web", which enjoys a steadily growing community interest and adoption. The IPFS is, in addition, one of the most prominent solutions for blockchain storage. We go beyond the straightforward case of using the IPFS for hosting malicious content, and explore ways in which a botmaster could employ it, to manage her bots, validating our findings experimentally. Finally, we discuss the advantages of our approach for malware authors, its efficacy and highlight its extensibility for other distributed storage services.

description: Co-culture experiments to transduce TVA-expressing mammalian β cells with RCANBPB(A) RIP retrovector. DF1 chicken fibroblasts infected with RCAN RIP GFP-IRES-ZeoR were co-cultured with either EndoC-β Η2-TVA or MIN6-TVA cells (day 0). These two derivatives express TVA together with HygroR. As the RIP is very barely active in DF1 cells, almost no fluorescent cells can be found at this time point. 2 days later, the co-culture were exposed to both zeocin, to remove untransduced β cells, and to hygromycin, to remove DF1 cells. The cells were photographed at the indicated times. After 8–10 days in hygromycin and with an intervening passage, almost all DF1 cells were eliminated. This experiment was done once and EndoC-βΗ2-TVA were transduced through co-culture with other RCASBP(A) or RCANBP(A) derivatives (not shown). (DOCX 91 kb)

MATÉRIEL EXAMINÉ. — Gba riv., Gbakoré, 450 m, 1 ♁, 1-VI-1991.
DESCRIPTION. — Espèce de taille moyenne (L. = 40 mm), noire avec des taches verdâtres, bande thoracique antéhumérale continue; appendices anaux supérieurs à peine fourchus, la branche inférieure nettement plus longue que la supérieure. Le mâle de Gbakoré a été comparé à l’holotype, conservé au MNHN, auquel il correspond parfaitement.
ÉCOLOGIE. — Aguesse (comm. pers.) a observé cette espèce au bord de marigots à courant lent, dans les biefs étroitement enserrés par des forêts galeries denses et touffues. Le seul exemplaire qui a été capturé ne me permet ni de confirmer ni d’infirmer cette information. Cependant si on se réfère à la répartition géographique de l’espèce il semblerait qu’elle soit nettement plus héliophile.
DISTRIBUTION. — Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinée, Kenya, République Centrafricaine, Sierra Leone.
