subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The theorems of Gross-Zagier and Zhang relate the Néron-Tate heights of complex multiplication points on the modular curve X_0(N) (and on Shimura curve analogues) with the central derivatives of automorphic L-functions. We extend these results to include certain CM points on Shimura curves of higher level structure. These results are motivated by applications to Hida theory which are described in the companion article "Central derivatives of L-functions in Hida families."

Challenges in Synthesizing Fast Control-Dominated Circuits

description: Presenting designers with higher-level specification languages is one sure way to improve productivity, but the more abstract the language, the higher the compiler's optimization burden. We consider generating efficient controller circuits from descriptions written in Esterel. To understand the demands of scalable optimization algorithms, we manually matched the results from sequential synthesis algorithms that produce good circuits but are costly or impossible to run on large designs. We hoped the high-level structure of Esterel would suggest inexpensive, effective optimizations, but our results are mixed. In the five examples we considered, many optimizations clearly could be automated cheaply, but we needed more global information to match the quality of the existing automatic techniques. This suggests an effective solution would have to combine both local and (potentially costly) global techniques.
Planification d'expériences séquentielle dans un contexte de méta-modélisation multi-fidélité

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Large computer codes are widely used in engineering to study physical systems. Nevertheless, simulations can sometimes be time-consuming. In this case, an approximation of the code input/output relation is made using a metamodel. Actually, a computer code can often be run at different levels of complexity and a hierarchy of levels of code can hence be obtained. For example, it can be a finite element model with a more or less fine mesh. The aim of our research is to study the use of several levels of a code to predict the output of a costly computer code. The presented multi-stage metamodel is a particular case of co-kriging which is a well-known geostatistical method. We first describe the construction of the co-kriging model and we focus then on a sequential experimental design strategy. Indeed, one of the strengths of co-kriging is that it provides through the predictive co-kriging variance an estimation of the model error at each point of the input space parameter. Therefore, to improve the surrogate model we can sequentially add points in the training set at locations where the predictive variances are the largest ones. Nonetheless, in a multi-fidelity framework, we also have to choose which level of code we have to run. We present here different strategies to choose this level. They are based on an original result which gives the contribution of each code on the co-kriging variance.
Data-driven optimization for underactuated robotic hands

description: Passively adaptive and underactuated robotic hands have shown the potential to achieve reliable grasping in unstructured environments without expensive mechanisms or sensors. Instead of complex run-time algorithms, such hands use design-time analysis to improve performance for a wide range of tasks. Along these directions, we present an optimization framework for underactuated compliant hands. Our approach uses a pre-defined set of grasps in a quasistatic equilibrium formulation to compute the actuation mechanism design parameters that provide optimal performance. We apply our method to a class of tendon-actuated hands; for the simplified design of a two-fingered gripper, we show how a global optimum for the design optimization problem can be computed. We have implemented the results of this analysis in the construction of a gripper prototype, capable of a wide range of grasping tasks over a variety of objects.

description: There are two ways to interpret Ron Michener's comment on my article. One is to
view it as an analysis of the difficulties of estimating money demand and of identifying the relevant components of money supply during the colonial and Revolutionary periods, both of which would be necessary to draw firm conclusions about the time path of aggregate real money balances from 1774 through 1781. Another way to read the comment is as a disproof of the importance of fiscal expectations in determining the market value of the continental. Taking the first view, Michener's contributions and caveats are often well taken, though it was never my intent to estimate (or even describe in detail) the time path for the overall supply or demand for liquidity during this period.

My discussion divides into three parts. First, I clarify aspects of my work, and that of
others, which Michener misinterprets. Second, I show that Michener's evidence
actually supports the importance of fiscal news, and that the quantity theory of
aggregate money does not offer an alternative to my (and others') explanation for
changes in the value of the continental. Finally, I take issue with Michener's evidence for real balance stability.

description: Testing vendor-issued patches remains one of the major hurdles to their speedy deployment. Studies have shown that administrators remain reluctant to quickly patch their systems, even when they have the capability to do so, partly because security patches in particular are often incomplete or altogether non-functional. We propose Band-aid Patching, a new approach for concurrently testing application patches. Using binary runtime injection techniques, we patch binaries such that when program execution reaches a program segment that has been affected by an issued patch, two (or more) program execution threads are created. These threads speculatively execute both parts of the code (patched and unpatched). Our system then retroactively selects one of the execution threads based on a variety of criteria, including obvious faultiness, prior history, and user input. We believe this approach to offer significant advantages to accelerating deployment of hot fixes while providing some assurance to system administrators. In this paper, we describe our initial thoughts on the system architecture, and provide some preliminary indications on the feasibility and performance impact of our scheme.

description: In recent years, organizations have been shifting focus to their core business competencies, and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) associated with training and management of their IT infrastructure. In the same motif, organizations are establishing security and survivability frameworks as an integral part of their business strategy so as to provide an acceptable quality-of-service for their clients and employees. However, the current paradigm of outsourced managed security service providers (MSSPs) is often difficult to transition to, offers little control to the organization, does not allow "best of breed" composition, and risks vendor lock-in due to the complexity of migrating to a different MSSP. We present MOSES (Mediated Overlay Services), an architecture for composing network security services such as anti-spam, antivirus, automated vulnerability detection and mitigation, and filtering. MOSES is roughly modeled on the web services framework. In addition to ease-of-deployment, MOSES allows for economies of scale and a reduction to the total cost of ownership. In this paper, we discuss our motivation and high-level view of such an architecture. We highlight the advantages, illuminate potential drawbacks, and discuss a broad research agenda toward realizing this vision.

This is the era of Information Communication Technology, so to perk up educational planning it is indispensable to implement the ICT in Education sector. Student can perform well throughout the usage of ICT. ICT helps the students to augment their knowledge skills as well as to improve their learning skills. To know with reference to the usage and Impact of ICT in Education sector of Pakistan, we accumulate data from 429 respondents from 5 colleges and universities, we use convenient sampling to accumulate the data from district Rawalpindi of Pakistan. The consequences show that Availability and Usage of ICT improves the knowledge and learning skills of students. This indicates that existence of ICT is improving the educational efficiency as well as obliging for making policies regarding education sector.
Cobalt adsorption and/or co-precipitation onto ferric oxyhydroxide

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The Caron process was developed in the 1920s. In this process, the ore is dried and milled, then roasted in a reducing atmosphere to convert nickel and cobalt to their metallic form. Nickel and cobalt are then leached in ammoniacal solution but some losses occur due to adsorption and co-precipitation with iron oxide or hydroxide precipitates. The effects of various parameters on iron precipitation in the Caron process leach were studied. The parameters studied include pH, temperature, contact time with iron and its precipitates and initial ferrous concentration. The adsorption of otherwise soluble Co onto freshly precipitated ferric hydroxide was measured at four different temperatures between 20ºC and 35ºC. The percentage of cobalt adsorbed onto iron precipitates was directly related to the initial iron concentration but the effect of temperature was less clear. The amount of cobalt adsorbed depended on the pH. Solution contact time with iron precipitates had a very small effect on cobalt adsorption (2-3% difference). The highest adsorption of cobalt (99%) was obtained with an initial concentration of 0.2 M ferrous sulfate at pH 7 after 2 hours of contact time. The main iron precipitate was ferrihydrite. X-ray analysis revealed the characteristic “2 line” ferrihydrite (Fe₅HO₈4H₂O) with no goethite being observed in any of the precipitates. TEM revealed an amorphous structure, which is also indicative of ferrihydrite. SEM showed a preponderance of poorly resolved precipitates, which did not appear to be crystalline. Traces of cobalt were measured in the ferrihydrite particulate by EDX.

description: While peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing is a powerful and cost-effective content distribution model, most paid-for digital-content providers (CPs) use direct download to deliver their content. CPs are hesitant to rely on a P2P distribution model because it introduces a number of security concerns including content pollution by malicious peers, and lack of enforcement of authorized downloads. Furthermore, because users communicate directly with one another, the users can easily form illegal file-sharing clusters to exchange copyrighted content. Such exchange could hurt the content providers' profits. We present a P2P system TP2P, where we introduce a notion of trusted auditors (TAs). TAs are P2P peers that police the system by covertly monitoring and taking measures against misbehaving peers. This policing allows TP2P to enable a stronger security model making P2P a viable alternative for the distribution of paid digital content. Through analysis and simulation, we show the effectiveness of even a small number of TAs at policing the system. In a system with as many as 60% of misbehaving users, even a small number of TAs can detect 99% of illegal cluster formation. We develop a simple economic model to show that even with such a large presence of malicious nodes, TP2P can improve CP's profits (which could translate to user savings) by 62% to 122%, even while assuming conservative estimates of content and bandwidth costs. We implemented TP2P as a layer on top of BitTorrent and demonstrated experimentally using PlanetLab that our system provides trusted P2P file sharing with negligible performance overhead.

description: We introduce a new domain for finding precise numerical invariants of programs by abstract interpretation. This domain, which consists of level sets of non-linear functions, generalizes the domain of linear "templates" introduced by Manna, Sankaranarayanan, and Sipma. In the case of quadratic templates, we use Shor's semi-definite relaxation to derive computable yet precise abstractions of semantic functionals, and we show that the abstract fixpoint equation can be solved accurately by coupling policy iteration and semi-definite programming. We demonstrate the interest of our approach on a series of examples (filters, integration schemes) including a degenerate one (symplectic scheme).

Robot learning of everyday object manipulations via human demonstration

name: Allen, Peter K.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Robotics

description: We deal with the problem of teaching a robot to manipulate everyday objects through human demonstration. We first design a task descriptor which encapsulates important elements of a task. The design originates from observations that manipulations involved in many everyday object tasks can be considered as a series of sequential rotations and translations, which we call manipulation primitives. We then propose a method that enables a robot to decompose a demonstrated task into sequential manipulation primitives and construct a task descriptor. We also show how to transfer a task descriptor learned from one object to similar objects. In the end, we argue that this framework is highly generic. Particularly, it can be used to construct a robot task database that serves as a manipulation knowledge base for a robot to succeed in manipulating everyday objects.

description: We propose a reactive approach for handling a wide variety of software failures, ranging from remotely exploitable vulnerabilities to more mundane bugs that cause abnormal program termination (e.g., illegal memory dereference) or other recognizable bad behavior (e.g., computational denial of service). Our emphasis is in creating "self-healing" software that can protect itself against a recurring fault until a more comprehensive fix is applied. Briefly, our system monitors an application during its execution using a variety of external software probes, trying to localize (in terms of code regions) observed faults. In future runs of the application, the "faulty" region of code will be executed by an instruction-level emulator. The emulator will check for recurrences of previously seen faults before each instruction is executed. When a fault is detected, we recover program execution to a safe control flow. Using the emulator for small pieces of code, as directed by the observed failure, allows us to minimize the performance impact on the immunized application. We discuss the overall system architecture and a prototype implementation for the x86 platform. We show the effectiveness of our approach against a range of attacks and other software failures in real applications such as Apache, sshd, and Bind. Our preliminary performance evaluation shows that although full emulation can be prohibitively expensive, selective emulation can incur as little as 30% performance overhead relative to an uninstrumented (but failure-prone) instance of Apache. Although this overhead is significant, we believe our work is a promising first step in developing self-healing software.

description: We performed systematic spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of TlBi(S1-xSex)2 which undergoes a topological phase transition at x ~ 0.5. In TlBiSe2 (x = 1.0), we revealed a helical spin texture of Dirac-cone surface states with an intrinsic in-plane spin polarization of ~ 0.8. The spin polarization still survives in the gapped surface states at x > 0.5, although it gradually weakens upon approaching x = 0.5 and vanishes in the non-topological phase. No evidence for the out-of-plane spin polarization was found irrespective of x and momentum. The present results unambiguously indicate the topological origin of the gapped Dirac surface states, and also impose a constraint on models to explain the origin of mass acquisition of Dirac fermions.

The Impending Collapse of the European Monetary Union

description: European monetary union will centralize control over European currency. Some have argued that the scale of this new currency area will cause a leap in demand for European currency as a numeraire and store of value. Furthermore, reductions in transactions and hedging costs from currency homogeneity within Europe could increase European wealth and income.
It is argued that this change would be beneficial to the world economy, not just to Europe. Giving other countries the ability to peg their currencies could take the form of a currency board that redeems a fixed bundle of “hard” currencies in exchange for the domestic one. A bundle of currencies is potentially superior as an anchor because its value is more stable. A productivity shock in the United States that produces a real exchange rate appreciation for the dollar won’t produce as large an imbalance with emerging market countries if the hard-currency bundle includes the currencies of countries other than the US which are not experiencing that productivity shock. So a stable European currency could contribute to overall financial stability.

description: In the current work, we studied the influence of surface modification on reflectivity and minority carrier lifetime of mc-Si wafer taken from ingot grown by DS process. Two etchants combination namely, KOH/IPA/DI water, and NaOCl/KOH/IPA/DI water are used for different time durations. Reflectance and minority carrier lifetime vary significantly for both etchants used in this work. Optimised micro pyramidal structure formation will aid in enhancing the total internal reflection thereby increasing light absorption. Increase in minority carrier lifetime will be helpful in increasing the efficiency of solar cell. In order to establish the effect of etching on reflectivity of wafers, Al-doped ZnO was sputtered on etched surface and reflectivity was found to decrease further as observed from the reflectivity spectrum. I-V measurements were carried out on Ag/Ti/AZO/mc-Si/Ag and effect of etching on contact behaviour was observed. AZO-coated Si surface with optimised surface micro pyramids served as a good antireflection layer.

description: Software failures in server applications are a significant problem for preserving system availability. We present ASSURE, a system that introduces rescue points that recover software from unknown faults while maintaining both system integrity and availability, by mimicking system behavior under known error conditions. Rescue points are locations in existing application code for handling a given set of programmer-anticipated failures, which are automatically repurposed and tested for safely enabling fault recovery from a larger class of (unanticipated) faults. When a fault occurs at an arbitrary location in the program, ASSURE restores execution to an appropriate rescue point and induces the program to recover execution by virtualizing the program's existing error-handling facilities. Rescue points are identified using fuzzing, implemented using a fast coordinated checkpoint-restart mechanism that handles multi-process and multi-threaded applications, and, after testing, are injected into production code using binary patching. We have implemented an ASSURE Linux prototype that operates without application source code and without base operating system kernel changes. Our experimental results on a set of real-world server applications and bugs show that ASSURE enabled recovery for all of the bugs tested with fast recovery times, has modest performance overhead, and provides automatic self-healing orders of magnitude faster than current human-driven patch deployment methods.
Degradation of silicon nitride glow plugs in electric field-experiments and modeling

description: Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) based ceramic Glow Plugs (GP) are considered by the automotive industry as a reliable, long-term source of ignition for natural gas and hydrogen internal combustion engines. The commercial GPs investigated in this work comprised of an all-ceramic heater with two U-shaped tungsten carbide heating elements encased in an Yb₂O₃-doped silicon-nitride (Si₃N₄) insulating phase. Upon applying electric potentials of 10-14V, the temperature on the surface of ceramic heater rapidly raises to as high as 1500ºC. This work looks into various modes of deterioration of GPs, particularly resulting from interaction of high operating temperature and the electric field within the GP heaters. An extensive scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy investigation was performed to determine the degradation mechanisms of GPs in natural gas-burning rig, electric rig and engine. GP testing has shown that under the influence of constant electric load (DC) the sintering aid (Yb₂O₃) cations continuously migrate away from the high potential side of the heating elements following the electric field pattern. A 2D mathematical model was developed to simulate the redistribution of the sintering additive (Yb₂O₃) cations as a function of time, temperature, and electric field. The damage pattern of the tested GPs suggests synergistic impact of temperature, voltage, and environment on GPs lifetime. For the GPs tested in the burner rig and in engine the internal joule heating, externally applied combustion heat, together with the corrosive nature of the combustion gases, synergistically contribute to the degradation of Si₃N₄-based heaters. The comparison of cross sections for aged GPs revealed an increase in Yb ions migration with increasing temperature, electric field, and test duration. This study confirms that the removal of just one of the failure stimuli may significantly improve the GP performance. For example, applying AC voltage provided a significant improvement of GP durability in electric rig, even without addressing any other damage phenomena.

Using Rescue Points to Navigate Software Recovery

description: We present a new technique that enables software recovery in legacy applications by retrofitting exception-handling capabilities, error virtualization using rescue points. We introduce the idea of "rescue points" as program locations to which an application can recover its execution in the presence of failures. The use of rescue points reduces the chance of unanticipated execution paths thereby making recovery more robust by mimicking system behavior under controlled error conditions. These controlled error conditions can be thought of as a set erroneous inputs, like the ones used by most quality-assurance teams during software development, designed to stress-test an application. To discover rescue points applications are profiled and monitored during tests that bombard the program with bad/random inputs. The intuition is that by monitoring application behavior during these runs, we gain insight into how programmer-tested program points are used to propagate faults gracefully.
