description: High quality upsampling of sparse 3D point clouds is critically useful for a wide range of geometric operations such as reconstruction, rendering, meshing, and analysis. In this paper, we propose a data-driven algorithm that enables an upsampling of 3D point clouds without the need for hard-coded rules. Our approach uses a deep network with Chamfer distance as the loss function, capable of learning the latent features in point clouds belonging to different object categories. We evaluate our algorithm across different amplification factors, with upsampling learned and performed on objects belonging to the same category as well as different categories. We also explore the desirable characteristics of input point clouds as a function of the distribution of the point samples. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of our algorithm in single-category training versus multi-category training scenarios. The final proposed model is compared against a baseline, optimization-based upsampling method. Results indicate that our algorithm is capable of generating more uniform and accurate upsamplings.

Nonlinear causal discovery with latent confounders

Year: 2024

description: Causal discovery, the task of discovering the causal graph over a set of observed variables X1, ... ,Xm, is a challenging problem. One of the cornerstone assumptions is that of causal sufficiency: that all common causes of all measured variables have been observed. When it does not hold, causal discovery algorithms making this assumption return networks with many spurious edges. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear causal model involving hidden confounders. We show that it is identifiable from only the observed data and propose an efficient method for recovering this causal model. At the heart of our approach is a variational autoencoder which parametrizes both the causal interactions between observed variables as well as the influence of the unobserved confounders. Empirically we show that it outperforms other state-of-the-art methods for causal discovery under latent confounding on synthetic and real-world data.

description: The paper strength characteristics and data based on the theory of optic fiber strength. The possibility of application of Brillouin Reflectometry Method for mechanical stresses control in optical fiber is studied. A special attention is given to the analysis of displacement of spectral components in Brillouin scattering of light depending on tension value or fiber elongation. The proposed method makes it possible do detect potentially dangerous sections in optical cable during all production stages and to improve production technologies, used in the cable manufacturing process as well as in the process of building and technical operational support of optical fiber communication lines. Obviously, it is the only optical method which makes it possible to measure the absolute tension value in the optic fiber. In addition, by use of Brillouin scattering spectral allocation along the fiber it is possible to determine the allocation of tension along the fiber line. Determination of the tension value in cable optic fiber allows predicting the reliability of the line as well as timely detecting the risk sections in the communication line.

description: We reexamine a recently proposed non-inflationary solution to the monopole problem, based on the possibility that spontaneously broken Grand-Unified symmetries do not get restored at high temperature. We go beyond leading order by studying the self-consistent one-loop equations of the model. We find large next-to-leading corrections that reverse the lowest order results and cause symmetry restoration at high temperature.

description: The cross sections for the ν-d and \barν-d reactions are calculated for the incident energy up to E_ν= 170 MeV, with the use of a phenomenological Lagrangian approach. We assess and improve the reliability of the employed calculational method by examining the dependence of the results on various input and approximations that go into the calculation. The main points of improvements over the existing work are: (1) use of the "modern" NN potentials; (2) use of the more accurate nucleon weak-interaction form factors; (3) monitoring the strength of a vertex that governs the exchange-current contribution, with the use of data on the related process, n+p\to d+γ. In addition to the total cross sections, we present various differential cross sections that are expected to be useful for the SNO and other experiments. In the low energy regime relevant to the solar neutrinos, the newly calculated total cross sections agree with the existing literature values. The origins of slight differences found for higher energies are discussed. The ratio between the neutral-current and charged-current reaction cross sections is found to be extremely stable against any variations in the input of our calculation.

Year: 2024

description: In critical applications, causal models are the prime choice for their trustworthiness and explainability. If data is inherently distributed and privacy-sensitive, federated learning allows for collaboratively training a joint model. Existing approaches for federated causal discovery share locally discovered causal model in every iteration, therewith not only revealing local structure but also leading to very high communication costs. Instead, we propose an approach for privacy-preserving federated causal discovery by distributed min-max regret optimization. We prove that max-regret is a consistent scoring criterion that can be used within the well-known Greedy Equivalence Search to discover causal networks in a federated setting and is provably privacy-preserving at the same time. Through extensive experiments, we show that our approach reliably discovers causal networks without ever looking at local data and beats the state of the art both in terms of the quality of discovered causal networks as well as communication efficiency.

description: Implementing multicomponent diffusion models in reacting-flow simulations is computationally expensive due to the challenges involved in calculating diffusion coefficients. Instead, mixture-averaged diffusion treatments are typically used to avoid these costs. However, to our knowledge, the accuracy and appropriateness of the mixture-averaged diffusion models has not been verified for three-dimensional turbulent premixed flames. In this study we propose a fast,efficient, low-memory algorithm and use that to evaluate the role of multicomponent mass diffusion in reacting-flow simulations. Direct numerical simulation of these flames is performed by implementing the Stefan-Maxwell equations in NGA. A semi-implicit algorithm decreases the computational expense of inverting the full multicomponent ordinary diffusion array while maintaining accuracy and fidelity. We first verify the method by performing one-dimensional simulations of premixed hydrogen flames and compare with matching cases in Cantera. We demonstrate the algorithm to be stable, and its performance scales approximately with the number of species squared. Then, as an initial study of multicomponent diffusion, we simulate premixed, three-dimensional turbulent hydrogen flames, neglecting secondary Soret and Dufour effects. Simulation conditions are carefully selected to match previously published results and ensure valid comparison. Our results show that using the mixture-averaged diffusion assumption leads to a 15% under-prediction of the normalized turbulent flame speed for a premixed hydrogen-air flame. This difference in the turbulent flame speed motivates further study into using the mixture-averaged diffusion assumption for DNS of moderate-to-high Karlovitz number flames.

For concreteness we consider the possibility of detection of both the gravitational wave and hypothesized electromagnetic radiation counterpart from the supernova core collapse of Betelgeuse.

description: This paper investigates the main determinants of the representation of foreign employees across German regions. Since migration determinants are not necessarily the same for workers of different nationalities, spatial patterns are explained not only for total foreign employment but also for the 35 most important migration countries to Germany. Based on a total census for all 402 German districts, the paper starts by showing the spatial distributions of workers with different nationalities and explains the emerging patterns by spatial error models. Although large heterogeneity in determinants across nationalities are found, similarities between country groups prevail. Economic conditions matter for most nationalities, whereas the importance of amenities and openness differ.

description: Purpose: Systemic therapy plays a major part in the cure of patients with early breast cancer (eBC). However, personalized treatment concepts are required to avoid potentially harmful overtreatment. Biomarkers are pivotal for individualized therapy. The Notch signalling pathway is widely considered as a suitable prognostic or predictive marker in eBC. This study aimed primarily at assessing the relationship between NOTCH1 mRNA expression levels and histopathological features of breast cancer tumors, as well as clinical characteristics of the correspondent eBC patients. As a secondary aim, we investigated the prognostic and predictive value of NOTCH1 by assessing possible associations between NOTCH1 mRNA expression and recurrence-free interval (RFI) and overall survival after five years of observation. Patients and methods: The relative NOTCH1 mRNA expression was determined in 414 tumour samples, using quantitative PCR in a prospective, multicenter cohort (Prognostic Assessment in Routine Application (PiA), 2009–2011, NCT01592825) of 1,270 female eBC patients. Results: High NOTCH1 mRNA expression was detected in one-third of the tumours and was associated with negative hormone receptor status and high uPA/PAI-1 status. In addition, high NOTCH1 mRNA expression was found to be associated with more RFI related events (adjusted hazard ratio 2.1, 95% CI 1.077–4.118). Patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy and had high NOTCH1 mRNA expression in the tumour (n = 86) were three times more likely to have an RFI event (adjusted hazard ratio 3.1, 95% CI 1.321–7.245, p = 0.009). Conclusion: In this cohort, NOTCH1 mRNA expression had a prognostic and predictive impact. Tumours with high NOTCH1 mRNA expression may be less sensitive to cytotoxic treatment and downregulation of the Notch signalling pathway (e.g. by γ-secretase inhibitors) may be valuable for eBC therapy as an individualised treatment option.

description: To any pullback square of ring spectra we associate a new ring spectrum and use it to describe the failure of excision in algebraic $K$-theory. The construction of this new ring spectrum is categorical and hence allows to determine the failure of excision for any localizing invariant in place of $K$-theory. As immediate consequences we obtain an improved version of Suslin's excision result in $K$-theory, generalizations of results of Geisser and Hesselholt on torsion in (bi)relative $K$-groups, and a generalized version of pro-excision for $K$-theory. Furthermore, we show that any truncating invariant satisfies excision, nilinvariance, and cdh-descent. Examples of truncating invariants include the fibre of the cyclotomic trace, the fibre of the rational Goodwillie--Jones Chern character, periodic cyclic homology in characteristic zero, and homotopy $K$-theory. Various of the results we obtain have been known previously, though most of them in weaker forms and with less direct proofs.

Added a discussion of homotopy K-theory as truncating invariant; a sufficient criterion on a pullback square of ring spectra to give rise to a pullback square of categories of (perfect) modules; a new proof of the fundamental theorem; and a second appendix on cdh descent with coefficients. v3: 41 pages, published version

description: This paper shows the possibilities of renewable energy application in Kyrgyz Republic. Among them are solar, wind, biomass, etc. Scientific studies show that existing power industry has already exhausted its resource. Kyrgyz system is economically inefficient. The fundamentally new approach to the organization of power supply technology, based on the use of modern IT technologies is proposed. In the future, the creation of such systems is very promising, especially for countries with large territories or mountainous countries. Today it is necessary to seriously consider the future development of the power supply system, taking into account advanced renewable energy technologies. To solve the set tasks and implement them, it is necessary to provide these studies with finances and investments. In this regard, the Kyrgyz Republic has developed and adopted a Law on Renewable Energy providing for certain preferences for investors and ensuring the return on investments. The paper suggests reducing of energy losses, increasing of transparency and parallel development of RES in Kyrgyz Republic.

We resolve this in the affirmative for the class of algebraic surfaces known as Atiyah-Kodaira manifolds, which have base and fibers equal to complete algebraic curves. Our methods are topological in nature and involve an analysis of the "geometric" monodromy, valued in the mapping class group of the fiber.

description: Cantharidin and sodium fluoride inhibit the activity of serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A) and increase the force of contraction in human atrial preparations. R-phenylisopropyl adenosine (R-PIA) acts as an agonist at A₁-adenosine receptors. R-PIA exerts a negative inotropic effect on human atria. The effect of R-PIA - and its various manifestations - are currently explained as a function of the inhibition of sarcolemmal adenylyl cyclase activity and/or opening of sarcolemmal potassium channels. We hypothesise that cantharidin and sodium fluoride may attenuate the negative inotropic effect of R-PIA. During open heart surgery, trabeculae carneae from the right atrium were obtained for human atrial preparations (HAPs). These trabeculae were mounted in organ baths and electrically stimulated at 1 Hz. Furthermore, we studied isolated electrically stimulated left atrial (LA) preparations from female wild-type mice (CD1). The force of contraction was recorded under isometric conditions. R-PIA (1 µM) exerted a rapid negative inotropic effect in the HAPs and mice LA preparations. These negative inotropic effects of R-PIA were attenuated by pre-incubation for 30 min with 100-µM cantharidin in HAPs, but not in mice LA preparations. Adenosine signals via A₁ receptors in a species-specific pathway in mammalian atria. We postulate that R-PIA, at least in part, exerts a negative inotropic effect via activation of serine/threonine phosphatases in the human atrium.

description: Using the constant-roll approach, DBI inflationary scenario will be studied and it is sought to compare the result with observational data. By considering the cosmological perturbations of the model, it is realized that some extra terms appear in the amplitude of scalar perturbations which indicate that there shuold be a modified version of the scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio. In order to compare the model with observational data, some specific functions of scalar field are assumed for the function $f(ϕ)$ function. For the power-law and exponential functions, a constant slow-roll parameter $ε$ is obtained which produced difficulties for the graceful exit from inflation. Then, a product of linear and exponential function, and also a hyperbolic function of scalar field are selected for $f(ϕ)$ that result in a $ε$ with an end for accelerated expansion phase. Considering the scalar spectral index, the amplitude of scalar perturbations and tensor-to-scalar ratio shows that for some values of the constant $η= β$ there could be a good consistency between the model predictions and observational data. In addition, based on the form of the equation of motion of the scalar field, a new interesting definition for the second slow-roll parameters is presented and the behavior of the perturbations is reconsidered. The results come to good consistency with data. Finally, the attractor behavior of these two cases is investigated and it is determined that this feature could be satisfied.

description: The molecular environment around supramolecular bonding systems significantly affects their stability and the assembly of host–guest complexes, most prominent for hydrogen bonds (H-bonds). Hamilton receptor-barbiturate host–guest complexes are well-known in solution, typically forming a 1 : 1 molar ratio complex. However, within a polymer matrix, these complexes can form higher-order assemblies, deviating from the standard 1 : 1 complex, which are challenging to characterize and often require lab-intensive methods. In this study, a novel Hamilton receptor (H) was equipped with cyclopentene moieties and used as a host to form host-guest complexes (H-B) with allobarbital (B), followed by covalent crosslinking. UV-Vis spectroscopy titration experiments in different solvents and at various temperatures revealed that polar solvents containing additional H-bonding sites significantly reduce the formation of the 1 : 1 H-B complex, as indicated by a reduced association constant. Higher-order aggregates (HH-dimer, HHH-trimer) were subsequently detected via an alkene cross-metathesis (CM) reaction to fix the assemblies covalently, followed by analysis via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS). This two-step method, firstly via CM fixation followed by ESI MS, was extended to study the H-B model complex within a polyisobutylene (PIB) matrix, presenting a direct method to analyze the complex host-guest assembly in solvent-free (polymer) environments.

description: Spiropyran (SP) is one of the photochromic molecules that have been extensively studied because of their huge commercial applications. When exposed to the UV light, SP undergoes a molecular arrangement to generate an open-form merocyanine (MC), which can revert to the closed-form photochemically or thermally. A sequential mechanism of the photoisomerisation involved in the photochromic process still remains controversial. The current work aimed at providing a detailed and comprehensive picture of the ring-opening process of the spiropyran by the combination of the CASPT2/CASSCF static electronic structure calculations and on-the-fly surface hopping dynamic simulations. Four different reaction pathways were observed in our results. The internal conversion process (IC) driven by C–O bond rapture can generate both the ring-opening and closed products on the S0 state, while generating only closed forms when driven by a hydrogen-out-of-plane (HOOP) mode. In addition, the ring-opening process of the spiropyran can also occur on the excited state. The C–N bond dissociation was not observed in our simulations results. The current investigation shed light on the complex mechanism of the SP-MC ring-opening process, which would provide helpful information for further design or improvement of SP-MC-based photochromic devices.
Multiple phase transitions in the $XY$ model with nematic-like couplings

description: Critical behavior of the two-dimensional generalized $XY$ model involving solely nematic-like terms of the second, third and fourth orders is studied by Monte Carlo method. We find that such a system can undergo three successive phase transitions. At higher temperatures there is a phase transition of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type to the $q=4$ nematic-like phase, followed by two more transitions of the Ising type to the $q=2$ nematic-like and ferromagnetic phases, respectively. The $q$ nematic-like phases are characterized by spin alignments with angles $2kπ/q$, where $k \leq q$ is an integer. The ferromagnetic phase appears at low temperatures even without the presence of magnetic interactions owing to a synergic effect of the nematic-like terms.

description: Understanding how widespread species adapt to variation in abiotic conditions across their ranges is fundamental to ecology. Insight may come from studying how among-population variation (APV) in the common garden corresponds with the environmental conditions of source populations. However, there are no such studies comparing native vs non-native populations across multiple life stages. We examined APV in the performance and functional traits of 59 Conyza canadensis populations, in response to drought, across large aridity gradients in the native (North America) and non-native (Eurasia) ranges in three experiments. Our treatment (dry vs wet) was applied at the recruitment, juvenile, and adult life stages. We found contrasting patterns of APV in drought responses between the two ranges. In the native range, plant performance was less reduced by drought in populations from xeric than mesic habitats, but such relationship was not apparent for non-native populations. These range-specific patterns were consistent across the life stages. The weak adaptive responses of non-native populations indicate that they can become highly abundant even without complete local adaptation to abiotic environments and suggest that long-established invaders may still be evolving to the abiotic environment. These findings may explain lag times in invasions and raise concern about future expansions.

description: A 12 month study of cyanobacteria composition and concentrations in the North Landing River and upper Currituck Sound was conducted from March 1986 to February 1987. Epifluorescence microscopy and the fluorochrome proflavin were used to determine cell concentrations and vertical, station to station and seasonal distribution of these cells. Cyanobacterial assemblage patterns were coupled with pH, temperature, salinity and water transparency readings.

Cyanobacteria were found to be a persistent and prolific phytoplankton component of both the river and upper sound. For a comparison of vertical distribution for each station, an analysis of variance for. two groups of equal size was used. An analysis of variance for the means of several groups of equal size, and a T­ method multiple comparison among means were performed on cyanobacterial abundances among stations. No significant differences (P < 0.05) were discovered in the vertical or station to station distribution of these cells.

Results from cluster analysis revealed four main clusters which were identified as seasonal groups. Canonical variate analysis suggested that different species groups and abundance levels of cyanobacteria corresponded to different seasonal and environmental conditions in the river. The greatest species diversity and cell concentrations were during periods of warmer temperatures, higher pH and lower transparency readings. A seasonal community shift occurred from cyanobacterial dominance to chlorophyceae and diatom dominance when pH levels and water temperatures decreased during the winter months.

description: This research work provides a set of definitions for several course delivery approaches, and evaluates five years of data from a course that has been converted from traditional face-to-face delivery, to hybrid delivery. The collected experimental data proves that the revised course, in the hybrid delivery mode, is at least as good, if not better, than it previously was and it provides some benefits in terms of student retention.
Macroscopic ground-state degeneracy and magnetocaloric effect in the exactly solvable spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg double-tetrahedral chain

description: The ground-state degeneracy and magnetocaloric effect in the spin-$1/2$ Ising-Heisenberg double-tetrahedral chain are exactly investigated. It is demonstrated that the zero-temperature phase diagram involves two classical and two quantum chiral phases with distinct degrees of the macroscopic degeneracy. Different macroscopic degeneracies observed in the latter phases and at individual ground-state phase transitions are confirmed by multiple-peak dependencies of the specific heat and entropy on the magnetic field. The cooling capability of the model is well illustrated by the magnetic-field variations of the isothermal entropy change, temperature isotherms and the magnetic Grüneisen parameter.

Thermalisation after inflation

description: During (re)heating of the universe after inflation, the relativistic decay products of the inflaton field $ϕ$ must lose energy and additional particles must be produced to attain a thermalised state at a temperature $T_{\reh}$. We estimate the rate of energy loss via elastic and inelastic scattering interactions. Elastic scattering is an inefficient energy loss mechanism so inelastic processes, although higher order in the coupling $α$, can be faster because more energy is transfered. The timescale to produce a particle number density of ${\cal O}(T_{\reh}^3)$ is the inelastic energy loss timescale, $\sim(α^3 n_ϕ/T_{\reh}^2)^{-1}$.

Transverse effects on squeezing with atoms

name: Courty, J. M.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We evaluate the squeezing of a probe beam with a transverse Gaussian profile interacting with an ensemble of two-level atoms in a cavity. We use the linear input-output formalism where the effect of atoms is described by susceptibility and noise functions. The transverse structure is accounted for by averaging atomic functions over the intensity profile. The results of the plane-wave and Gaussian-wave theories are compared. When large squeezing is predicted we find the prediction of the plane-wave model not to be reliable outside the Kerr domain. We give an estimate of the squeezing degradation due to the Gaussian transverse structure.

Subjects: subject: 004

description: Let R denote a Noetherian ring and an ideal J ⊂ R with U = Spec R \ V (J). For an R-module M there is an isomorphism Γ(U, ˜M ) ∼= lim−−→ HomR(Jn, M ) known as Deligne's formula (see [8, p. 217] and Deligne's Appendix in [7]). We extend the isomorphism for any R-module M in the non-Noetherian case of R and J = (x1, . . . , xk ) a certain finitely generated ideal. Moreover, we recall a corresponding sheaf construction.

Neutron star equation of state and GW170817

description: Properties of neutron stars in GW170817 are investigated using different equations of state (EoS) involving nucleons, $Λ$ hyperons, quarks resulting in $2M_{\odot}$ neutron stars. This calculation is performed using the same EoS for merger components and for low spin prior case. It is found from the computations of tidal deformability parameters that soft to moderately stiff equations of state are allowed by the 50$\%$ and 90$\%$ credible regions obtained from the gravitational wave observation of binary neutron star merger GW170817, whereas the stiffest hadron-quark EoS which lies above the upper 90$\%$ limit, is ruled out. A correlation among the tidal deformabilities and masses is found to exist as already predicted. Furthermore moments of inertia and quadrupole moments of merger components of GW170817 are estimated.

Transverse-mode coupling in a Kerr medium
Creators: name: Courty, J. M.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze nonlinear transverse mode coupling in a Kerr medium placed in an optical cavity and its influence on bistability and different kinds of quantum noise reduction. Even for an input beam that is perfectly matched to a cavity mode, the nonlinear coupling produces an excess noise in the fluctuations of the output beam. Intensity squeezing seems to be particularly robust with respect to mode coupling, while quadrature squeezing is more sensitive. However, it is possible to find a mode the quadrature squeezing of which is not affected by the coupling.

description: We consider a supersymmetric hypercolor gauge theory with six flavors of quarks interacting strongly at the grand unification scale. This model solves the most serious problem -- doublet-triplet splitting in the grand unified theories. We also show that the dangerous dimension-five operators for nucleon decays are suppressed simultaneously, which makes our model yet more attractive.
