description: We study a new flexible method to extend linearly the graph of a non-linear, and usually not bijective, function so that the resulting extension is a bijection. Our motivation comes from cryptography. Examples from symmetric cryptography are given as how the extension was used implicitly in the construction of some well-known block ciphers. The method heavily relies on ideas brought from linear coding theory and secret sharing. We are interested in the behaviour of the composition of many extensions, and especially the space of parameters that defines a family of equations based on finite differences or linear forms. For any linear extension, we characterize entirely the space of parameters for which such equations are solvable in terms of the space of parameters that render those equations for the corresponding non-linear extended functions solvable. Conditions are derived to assess the solvability of those kind of equations in terms of the number of compositions or iterations. We prove a relation between the number of compositions and the dimensions of vector spaces that appear in our results. The proofs of those properties rely mostly on tools from linear algebra.

description: Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare inflammatory skin disease with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Through a molecularly driven precision medicine approach and an extensive mechanistic pathway analysis in PRP skin samples, compared to psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, healed PRP, and healthy controls, we identified IL-1β as a key mediator, orchestrating an NF-κB–mediated IL-1β–CCL20 axis, including activation of CARD14 and NOD2. Treatment of three patients with the IL-1 antagonists anakinra and canakinumab resulted in rapid clinical improvement and reversal of the PRP-associated molecular signature with a 50% improvement in skin lesions after 2 to 3 weeks. This transcriptional signature was consistent with in vitro stimulation of keratinocytes with IL-1β. With the central role of IL-1β underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target, our findings propose a redefinition of PRP as an autoinflammatory keratinization disorder. Further clinical trials are needed to validate the efficacy of IL-1β antagonists in PRP.

description: This paper proposes an accurate High Impedance Fault (HIF) detection and isolation scheme in a power distribution network. The proposed schemes utilize the data available from voltage and current sensors. The technique employs multiple algorithms consisting of Principal Component Analysis, Fisher Discriminant Analysis, Binary and Multiclass Support Vector Machine for detection and identification of the high impedance fault. These data driven techniques have been tested on IEEE 13-node distribution network for detection and identification of high impedance faults with broken and unbroken conductor. Further, the robustness of machine learning techniques has also been analysed by examining their performance with variation in loads for different faults. Simulation results for different faults at various locations have shown that proposed methods are fast and accurate in diagnosing high impedance faults. Multiclass Support Vector Machine gives the best result to detect and locate High Impedance Fault accurately. It ensures reliability, security and dependability of the distribution network.

description: We investigate the nature of the scaling relations between the surface density of star formation rate ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$), stellar mass ($Σ_*$), and molecular gas mass ($Σ_{\rm H_2}$), aiming at distinguishing between the relations that are primary, i.e. more fundamental, and those which are instead an indirect by-product of the other relations. We use the ALMaQUEST survey and analyse the data by using both partial correlations and Random Forest regression techniques. We unambiguously find that the strongest intrinsic correlation is between $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ and $Σ_{\rm H_2}$ (i.e. the resolved Schmidt-Kennicutt relation), followed by the correlation between $Σ_{\rm H_2}$ and $Σ_*$ (resolved Molecular Gas Main Sequence, rMGMS). Once these two correlations are taken into account, we find that there is no evidence for any intrinsic correlation between $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ and $Σ_*$, implying that SFR is entirely driven by the amount of molecular gas, while its dependence on stellar mass (i.e. the resolved Star Forming Main Sequence, rSFMS) simply emerges as a consequence of the relationship between molecular gas and stellar mass.

description: Cow-calf producers in Arkansas experience annual fluctuations in their farm returns and are increasingly scrutinized for their role in climate change. Increasing farm efficiency can increase farm returns and either increase or decrease net greenhouse gas emissions, but often these practices also increase income risk. Diversifying enterprise choices, the addition of switchgrass production grown on converted pasture land, in this case, is thought to lower income risk by providing a drought hardy crop while at the same time a supply of lignocellulosic biomass for potential bio-refineries. Adopting rotational grazing, compared to a baseline of continuous grazing, frees pasture acreage to either increase beef output or to the production of a dedicated energy crop. The objectives are to determine what switchgrass price is needed to be income neutral and whether adoption of switchgrass does in fact impact income risk without affecting feed or food supply. Decision support software, the Forage and Cattle Planner (FORCAP), is used to compare financial returns, along with GHG emissions, across multiple farm management strategies. The study reveals that the addition of switchgrass production, when compared to increased beef production, offers lower income risk but the needed switchgrass price to break even is higher than the price needed to compete with the least intensive continuous grazing option and lowest stocking rate. Net GHG emissions implications of changes are quite small.

description: In this work, we study inflation in a particular scalar-vector-tensor theory of gravitation without the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry. The model is constructed from the more general action introduced in Heisenberg et al. (Phys Rev D 98:024038, 2018) using certain specific choices for the Lagrangians and the coupling functions. Also, for this model we build the explicit form for the action, and from it, we derive the general equations: the energy-momentum tensor and the equations of motion, and using the flat FLRW background, we have analyzed if it's possible to obtain an inflationary regime with it. Additionally, using particular choices for the potential, the coupling functions, suitable dimensionless coupling constants and initial conditions, it was possible verify numerically that this model of inflation is viable. In this sense, we could verify that the introduction of the coupling function $f(ϕ)$ in our model of inflation, allows us to reach a suitable amount of $e$-foldings $N$ for sufficient inflation. This is a remarkable result, since without the coupling function contribution, the amount of $e$-foldings is smaller at the end of inflation, as has been demonstrated in Heisenberg et al. (2018). Also, the no-ghosts and stability conditions that the model during inflation must satisfy, i.e., absence of ghosts and Laplacian instabilities of linear cosmological perturbations were obtained, furthermore these conditions were verified numerically too.

description: We present observations and modeling of SN 2016hnk, a Ca-rich supernova (SN) that is consistent with being the result of a He-shell double-detonation explosion of a C/O white dwarf. We find that SN 2016hnk is intrinsically red relative to typical thermonuclear SNe and has a relatively low peak luminosity ($M_B = -15.4$ mag), setting it apart from low-luminosity Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). SN 2016hnk has a fast-rising light curve that is consistent with other Ca-rich transients ($t_r = 15$ d). We determine that SN 2016hnk produced $0.03 \pm 0.01 M_{\odot}$ of ${}^{56}\textrm{Ni}$ and $0.9 \pm 0.3 M_{\odot}$ of ejecta. The photospheric spectra show strong, high-velocity Ca II absorption and significant line blanketing at $λ< 5000$ Angstroms, making it distinct from typical (SN 2005E-like) Ca-rich SNe. SN 2016hnk is remarkably similar to SN 2018byg, which was modeled as a He-shell double-detonation explosion. We demonstrate that the spectra and light curves of SN 2016hnk are well modeled by the detonation of a $0.02 \ M_{\odot}$ helium shell on the surface of a $0.85 \ M_{\odot}$ C/O white dwarf. This analysis highlights the second observed case of a He-shell double-detonation and suggests a specific thermonuclear explosion that is physically distinct from SNe that are defined simply by their low luminosities and strong [Ca II] emission.

description: We propose a new fibre bundle formulation of the mathematical base of relativistic quantum mechanics. At the present stage the bundle form of the theory is equivalent to its conventional one, but it admits new types of generalizations in different directions. In the present first part of our investigation we consider the time-dependent or Hamiltonian approach to bundle description of relativistic quantum mechanics. In it the wavefunctions are replaced by (state) liftings of paths or sections along paths of a suitably chosen vector bundle over space-time whose (standard) fibre is the space of the wavefunctions. Now the quantum evolution is described as a linear transportation (by means of the evolution transport along paths in the space-time) of the state liftings/sections in the (total) bundle space. The equations of these transportations turn to be the bundle versions of the corresponding relativistic wave equations.

description: This paper describes the automated optical APM identification of radio sources from the Jodrell Bank - VLA Astrometric Survey (JVAS), as used for the search for distant radio-loud quasars. The sample has been used to investigate possible relations between optical and radio properties of flat spectrum radio sources. From the 915 sources in the sample, 756 have an optical APM identification at a red (e) and/or blue (o) plate,resulting in an identification fraction of 83% with a completeness and reliability of 98% and 99% respectively. About 20% are optically identified with extended APM objects on the red plates, e.g. galaxies. However the distinction between galaxies and quasars can not be done properly near the magnitude limit of the POSS-I plates. The identification fraction appears to decrease from >90% for sources with a 5 GHz flux density of >1 Jy, to <80% for sources at 0.2 Jy. The identification fraction, in particular that for unresolved quasars, is found to be lower for sources with steeper radio spectra. In agreement with previous studies, we find that the quasars at low radio flux density levels also tend to have fainter optical magnitudes, although there is a large spread. In addition, objects with a steep radio-to-optical spectral index are found to be mainly highly polarised quasars, supporting the idea that in these objects the polarised synchrotron component is more prominent. It is shown that the large spread in radio-to-optical spectral index is possibly caused by source to source variations in the Doppler boosting of the synchrotron component [Abridged].

fB from finite size effects in lattice QCD

description: We discuss a novel method to calculate fB on the lattice based on the study of the dependence of finite size effects upon the heavy quark mass of flavoured mesons and on a non--perturbative recursive finite size technique. This method avoids the systematic errors related to extrapolations from the static limit or to the tuning of the coefficients of effective Lagrangian and the results admit an extrapolation to the continuum limit. We show the results of a first estimate at finite lattice spacing, but close to the continuum limit, giving fB = 170(11)(5)(22)MeV. We also obtain fBs = 192(9)(5)(24)MeV. The first error is statistical, the second is our estimate of the systematic error from the method and the third the systematic error from the specific approximations adopted in this first exploratory calculation. The method can be generalized to two--scale problems in lattice QCD.

description: For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust. However, the precise shape and extent of this shell, the impetus and timescale for its formation, and its relationship to nearby star formation have remained uncertain, largely due to low-resolution models of the local interstellar medium. Leveraging new spatial and dynamical constraints from the Gaia space mission, here we report an analysis of the 3D positions, shapes, and motions of dense gas and young stars within 200 pc of the Sun. We find that nearly all the star-forming complexes in the solar vicinity lie on the surface of the Local Bubble and that their young stars show outward expansion mainly perpendicular to the bubble's surface. Tracebacks of these young stars' motions support a scenario where the origin of the Local Bubble was a burst of stellar birth and then death (supernovae) taking place near the bubble's center beginning 14 Myr ago. The expansion of the Local Bubble created by the supernovae swept up the ambient interstellar medium into an extended shell that has now fragmented and collapsed into the most prominent nearby molecular clouds, in turn providing robust observational support for the theory of supernova-driven star formation.

description: Kenya’s Vision 2030 recognizes the enabling role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and anchors some of its key aspirations upon the availability and adoption of computers for schools. The overall objective of this strategy paper is to provide direction for acquisition of equitable and efficient laptop computers to all pupils in public primary schools. The existing education policy on ICT is imbedded in three documents namely; e-Government Strategy, National ICT Policy and Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2005 which is a Policy Framework for Education, Training and Research. There is a need therefore to consolidate these documents into one. The overall objective of the consolidation is to merge and integrate education policy on ICT including the scope, usage, administration and ways to address innovations and attendant Intellectual Property Rights. In the process of strategic planning for utilizing ICT in education, key stakeholders require to be consulted. In addition to the above mentioned, specific stakeholders include the National ICT integration and innovation Centre, Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development, Center for Mathematics, Science and Education in Africa, Teacher Service Commission, Primary Teacher Training Institutions, Universities and the National ICT Steering Committee. The strategy identifies the following as key weaknesses that hamper the implementation of ICT projects: slow integration of ICT in operations and programs; inadequate human and financial resources in some key service areas to meet the rapidly growing work-related demands. In addition there exists lack of appropriate learning facilities and/or infrastructure in some education and training institutions and inadequate number of trainers in modern technology coupled with a mismatch of skills learnt and demands of the labour market. It is also noted that the legal framework is non-harmonized and this inhibits the performance of Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Further, a number of policy frameworks are yet to be operationalized thus hampering delivery of services. The strategy also identifies a Strategic Model for Laptop Project and an implementation matrix.

description: Sequence labeling is a fundamental task in natural language processing and has been widely studied. Recently, RNN-based sequence labeling models have increasingly gained attentions. Despite superior performance achieved by learning the long short-term (i.e., successive) dependencies, the way of sequentially processing inputs might limit the ability to capture the non-continuous relations over tokens within a sentence. To tackle the problem, we focus on how to effectively model successive and discrete dependencies of each token for enhancing the sequence labeling performance. Specifically, we propose an innovative attention-based model (called position-aware selfattention, i.e., PSA) as well as a well-designed self-attentional context fusion layer within a neural network architecture, to explore the positional information of an input sequence for capturing the latent relations among tokens. Extensive experiments on three classical tasks in sequence labeling domain, i.e., partof-speech (POS) tagging, named entity recognition (NER) and phrase chunking, demonstrate our proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-arts without any external knowledge, in terms of various metrics.

description: We provide a systematic and self-consistent method to calculate the generalized Brillouin Zone (GBZ) analytically in one dimensional non-Hermitian systems, which helps us to understand the non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence. In general, a n-band non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is constituted by n distinct sub-GBZs, each of which is a piecewise analytic closed loop. Based on the concept of resultant, we can show that all the analytic properties of the GBZ can be characterized by an algebraic equation, the solution of which in the complex plane is dubbed as auxiliary GBZ (aGBZ). We also provide a systematic method to obtain the GBZ from aGBZ. Two physical applications are also discussed. Our method provides an analytic approach to the spectral problem of open boundary non-Hermitian systems in the thermodynamic limit.

description: Stochastic dominance, stochastic dominance with respect to a function, and stochastic efficiency with respect to a function are used to compare late blight management strategies between a calendar spray schedule and a spray schedule recommended by Potato/Tomato Late Blight Decision Support System (DSS). Results show that the DSS recommended spray schedule is a more effective management strategy for controlling late blight in terms of disease control, net income over fungicide cost, and risk-adjusted net income.

description: Discretized nonabelian gauge theories living on finite group spaces G are defined by means of a geometric action \int Tr F \wedge *F. This technique is extended to obtain discrete versions of the Born-Infeld action. The discretizations are in 1-1 correspondence with differential calculi on finite groups. A consistency condition for duality invariance of the discretized field equations is derived for discretized U(1) actions S[F] living on a 4-dimensional abelian G. Discretized electromagnetism satisfies this condition and therefore admits duality rotations. Yang-Mills and Born-Infeld theories are also considered on product spaces M^D x G, and we find the corresponding field theories on M^D after Kaluza-Klein reduction on the G discrete internal spaces. We examine in some detail the case G=Z_N, and discuss the limit N -> \infty. A self-contained review on the noncommutative differential geometry of finite groups is included.

description: Automatic recognition of disordered speech remains a highly challenging task to date. Sources of variability commonly found in normal speech including accent, age or gender, when further compounded with the underlying causes of speech impairment and varying severity levels, create large diversity among speakers. To this end, speaker adaptation techniques play a vital role in current speech recognition systems. Motivated by the spectro-temporal level differences between disordered and normal speech that systematically manifest in articulatory imprecision, decreased volume and clarity, slower speaking rates and increased dysfluencies, novel spectro-temporal subspace basis embedding deep features derived by SVD decomposition of speech spectrum are proposed to facilitate both accurate speech intelligibility assessment and auxiliary feature based speaker adaptation of state-of-the-art hybrid DNN and end-to-end disordered speech recognition systems. Experiments conducted on the UASpeech corpus suggest the proposed spectro-temporal deep feature adapted systems consistently outperformed baseline i-Vector adaptation by up to 2.63% absolute (8.6% relative) reduction in word error rate (WER) with or without data augmentation. Learning hidden unit contribution (LHUC) based speaker adaptation was further applied. The final speaker adapted system using the proposed spectral basis embedding features gave an overall WER of 25.6% on the UASpeech test set of 16 dysarthric speakers

description: We propose the Graph2Graph Transformer architecture for conditioning on and predicting arbitrary graphs, and apply it to the challenging task of transition-based dependency parsing. After proposing two novel Transformer models of transition-based dependency parsing as strong baselines, we show that adding the proposed mechanisms for conditioning on and predicting graphs of Graph2Graph Transformer results in significant improvements, both with and without BERT pre-training. The novel baselines and their integration with Graph2Graph Transformer significantly outperform the state-of-the-art in traditional transition-based dependency parsing on both English Penn Treebank, and 13 languages of Universal Dependencies Treebanks. Graph2Graph Transformer can be integrated with many previous structured prediction methods, making it easy to apply to a wide range of NLP tasks.

description: Today, more agricultural cooperatives have experienced a surge in their unallocated equity or equity held at the cooperative level as retained earnings. Key factors contributing to this rise are soaring non-member business and various tax deductions available to cooperatives. Many agricultural cooperatives directors and managers are questioning the sustainability of such a change in equity structure. The purpose of this research is to explore how this change in equity structure has impacted agricultural cooperative’s efficiency, profitability, and risk exposure. The study discovered a positive relation between averaged efficiency indices and the allocated equity to total asset ratio and the unallocated equity to total asset ratio. Higher profitability lifted the average allocated equity to total assets ratio as well as the unallocated to total assets ratio. The higher the business risk, the greater the equity cushion that the firm employs. Higher financial risk implies higher borrowing, hence a lower proportion of equity. Furthermore, larger cooperatives can afford to accept a lower level of equity than smaller firms of comparable business risk.

description: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) in principle offers unconditional security based on the laws of physics. Continuous variable (CV) quantum key distribution has the potential for high-key-rate and low-cost implementations using standard telecom components. Despite tremendous theoretical and experimental progress in continuous-variable quantum key distribution, the security has not been rigorously established for most current continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems that have imperfections. Among the imperfections, intensity fluctuation is a significant principal problem affecting security. In this paper, we provide simple security proofs for continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems with an intensity fluctuating sources. Specifically, depending on device assumptions in the source, the imperfect systems are divided into two cases for security proofs. Our proofs are simple to implement without any hardware adjustment for the current continuous-variable quantum key distribution system. Besides, we show some compensation schemes for the decoding flaws for an outlook.
