description: This paper presents the implementation and design of a wireless sensor network developed to facilitate indoor mobile robot localization. The sensor network consists of homogeneous nodes, termed the Parrot, that can measure range to other nodes within the network using ultrasonic signals. This information provides algorithms running on mobile and static nodes to analyze and learn their physical location within the network. Since the location of the nodes can potentially change with time, the system we have developed allows us to “map” the topology of the network from the range measurements in a nearly dynamic manner. Through the use of a media access control scheme the Parrots are able to coordinate node transmission timings. In addition to the control scheme, Parrots are also able to switch between four different operational modes that manage the information flow between the nodes. The system has been successfully tested to localize and map individual nodes within an office environment. We present experimental results of accurately mapping and localizing the network structure with the presence of a mobile node.

description: We predict the structure and dynamics of disc galaxies using galaxy evolution models within a hierarchical formation scenario The halo mass aggregation histories, for a Lambda CDM model, were generated and used to calculate the virialization of dark matter (DM) haloes. A diversity of halo density profiles were obtained, the most typical one being close to the NFW profile. We modeled the formation of discs in centrifugal equilibrium within the evolving DM haloes using gas accretion rates proportional to the halo mass aggregation rates, and assuming detailed angular momentum conservation. We calculated the gravitational interactions between halo and disc, and the hydrodynamics, star formation, and evolution of the galaxy discs. We found that the slope and zero-point of the infrared Tully-Fisher relations (TFR) may be explained as a direct consequence of the cosmological initial conditions. This relation is almost independent of the assumed disc mass fraction. The rms scatter of the TFR originates mainly from the scatter in the DM halo structure and, to a minor extension, from the dispersion of the primordial spin parameter. The scatter obtained does not disagree with the observational estimates. Our models allow us to understand why the residuals of the TFR do not correlate significantly with disc size or surface brightness (SB), and why low and high SB galaxies have the same TFR. The correlations between gas fraction and SB, and between scale length and V_max agree with those observed. The discs present nearly exponential SB distributions. The shape of the rotation curves changes with the SB and is nearly flat for most cases. The rotation curve decompositions show a dominance of DM down to very small radii. The introduction of shallow cores in the DM halo attenuates this difficulty.

description: We address the class masking problem in multiclass linear discriminant analysis (LDA). In the multiclass setting, LDA does not maximize each pairwise distance between classes, but rather maximizes the sum of all pairwise distances. This results in serious overlaps between classes that are close to each other in the input space, and degrades classification performance. Our research proposes Pareto Discriminant Analysis (PARDA); an approach for multiclass discriminative analysis that builds over multiobjective optimizing models. PARDA decomposes the multiclass problem to a set of objective functions, each representing the distance between every pair of classes. Unlike existing LDA extensions that maximize the sum of all distances, PARDA maximizes each pairwise distance to maximally separate all class means, while minimizing the class overlap in the lower dimensional space. Experimental results on various data sets show consistent and promising performance of PARDA when compared with well-known multiclass LDA extensions.

description: Consider the Laguerre polynomials and deform them by the introduction in the measure of an exponential singularity at zero. In [Chen Y., Its A., J. Approx. Theory 162 (2010), 270-297, arXiv:0808.3590] the authors proved that this deformation can be described by systems of differential/difference equations for the corresponding recursion coefficients and that these equations, ultimately, are equivalent to the Painlevé III equation and its Bäcklund/Schlesinger transformations. Here we prove that an analogue result holds for some kind of semiclassical matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials of Laguerre type.

description: Continued exploration of the Moon and Mars will call for mobile robots that are increasingly capable in regolith; not only traversing it without getting stuck, but also manipulating and shaping it to suit mission needs. This work distinguishes issues governing performance of regolith operations, based on tasks motivated by preparatory site work for lunar outposts. Payload ratio (pound-for-pound regolith-moving capacity) of small site work robots is identified as the key parameter governing metrics such as completion time for tasks ranging from berm building to trench digging. In addition to payload ratio, driving speed also governs berm building with small robots, while soil interaction parameters including regolith cohesion and soil-tool friction dictate trench digging performance. Furthermore, 3-dimensional bucket modeling highlights cohesion and friction as risks to the viability of using the smallest proposed class of excavation robots (those with mass of 250 kg or less). For trench digging especially, machines with higher mass (500 kg or more) may be required. Results are based on parameter sensitivity analyses using REMOTE, a task-level site work simulator.

description: Learning-based pattern classifiers, including deep networks, have shown impressive performance in several application domains, ranging from computer vision to cybersecurity. However, it has also been shown that adversarial input perturbations carefully crafted either at training or at test time can easily subvert their predictions. The vulnerability of machine learning to such wild patterns (also referred to as adversarial examples), along with the design of suitable countermeasures, have been investigated in the research field of adversarial machine learning. In this work, we provide a thorough overview of the evolution of this research area over the last ten years and beyond, starting from pioneering, earlier work on the security of non-deep learning algorithms up to more recent work aimed to understand the security properties of deep learning algorithms, in the context of computer vision and cybersecurity tasks. We report interesting connections between these apparently-different lines of work, highlighting common misconceptions related to the security evaluation of machine-learning algorithms. We review the main threat models and attacks defined to this end, and discuss the main limitations of current work, along with the corresponding future challenges towards the design of more secure learning algorithms.

description: Parameterized Appearance Models (PAMs) (e.g. eigentracking, active appearance models, morphable models) use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to model the shape and appearance of objects in images. Given a new image with an unknown appearance/shape configuration, PAMs can detect and track the object by optimizing the model’s parameters that best match the image. While PAMs have numerous advantages for image registration relative to alternative approaches, they suffer from two major limitations: First, PCA cannot model non-linear structure in the data. Second, learning PAMs requires precise manually labeled training data. This paper proposes Parameterized Kernel Principal Component Analysis (PKPCA), an extension of PAMs that uses Kernel PCA (KPCA) for learning a non-linear appearance model invariant to rigid and/or non-rigid deformations. We demonstrate improved performance in supervised and unsupervised image registration, and present a novel application to improve the quality of manual landmarks in faces. In addition, we suggest a clean and effective matrix formulation for PKPCA.

Probing the Site for r-Process Nucleosyntheis with Abundances of Barium and Magnesium in Extremely Metal-Poor Stars

description: We suggest that if the astrophysical site for r-process nucleosynthesis in the early Galaxy is confined to a narrow mass range of Type II supernova (SN II) progenitors, with a lower mass limit of Mms = 20 Msun, a unique feature in the observed distribution of [Ba/Mg] vs.[Mg/H] for extremely metal-poor stars can be adequately reproduced. We associate this feature, a bifurcation of the observed elemental ratios into two branches in the Mg abundance interval -2.7 < [Mg/H] < -2.3, with two distinct processes. The first branch, which we call the ``y''-branch, is associated with the production of Ba and Mg from individual massive supernovae. We conclude that SNe II with Mms = 20 Msun are the dominant source of r-process nucleosynthesis in the early Galaxy. An SN-induced chemical evolution model with this Mms-dependent Ba yield creates the y-branch, reflecting the different nucleosynthesis yields of [Ba/Mg] for each SN II with Mms > 20 Msun. The second branch, which we call the ``i''-branch, is associated with the elemental abundance ratios of stars which were formed in the dense shells of the interstellar medium swept up by SNe II with Mms < 20 Msun that do not synthesize r-process elements, and applies to stars with observed Mg abundances in the range [Mg/H] < -2.7. The Ba abundances in these stars reflect those of the interstellar gas at the (later) time of their formation. The existence of a [Ba/Mg] i-branch strongly suggests that SNe II which are associated with stars of progenitor mass Mms < 20 Msun are infertile sources for the production of r-process elements. We predict the existence of this i-branch for other r-process elements, such as europium (Eu), to the extent that their production site is in common with Ba.

description: We use Tully--Fisher distances for a sample of field late spiral galaxies to test the Lauer and Postman (1994; hereinafter LP) result suggestive of a bulk flow with respect to the Cosmic Microwave Background reference frame, of amplitude of +689 km/s in the direction l=343, b=+52. A total of 432 galaxies are used, subdivided between two cones, of 30deg semiaperture each and pointed respectively toward the apex and antapex of the LP motion. The peculiar velocities in the two data sets are inconsistent with a bulk flow of the amplitude claimed by LP. When combined in opposition, the peculiar velocity medians in shells of constant redshift width are never larger than half the amplitude of the LP bulk flow. Out to 5000 km/s the median bulk velocity in the LP apex--antapex cones is about 200 km/s or less, dropping to a value indistinguishable from zero beyond that distance. It can be excluded that field spiral galaxies within 8000 km/s partake of a bulk flow of the amplitude and direction reported by LP.

A somewhat puzzling pattern of the K_1^+ K^- decay channels can be understood with no tight constraint on the mixing angle. The branching fractions of the K_1^0 K-bar^0 channels will be the cleanest source of information to determine the mixing angle from the 1^+ 0^- decays of J/psi and psi'.

description: Grouping was recognized in computer vision early on as having the potential of improving both matching and recognition. Most papers consider grouping as a segmentation problem and a hard decision is made about which pixels in the image belong to the same object. In this paper we instead focus on soft pairwise grouping, that is computing affinities between pairs of pixels that reflect how likely that pair is to belong to the same object. This fits perfectly with our recognition approach, where we consider pairwise relationships between features/pixels. Some other papers also considered soft pairwise grouping between features, but they focused more on geometry than appearance. In this paper we take a different approach and show how color could also be used for pairwise grouping. We present a simple but effective method to group pixels based on color statistics. By using only color information and no prior higher level knowledge about objects and scenes we develop an efficient classifier that can separate the pixels that belong to the same object from those that do not. In the context of segmentation where color is also used only nearby pixels are generally considered, and very simple color information is taken into account. We use global color information instead and develop an efficient algorithm that can successfully classify even pairs of pixels that are far apart

description: We have compared the phase synchronization transition of the second order Kuramoto model on 2D lattices and on large, synthetic power grid networks, generated from real data. The latter are weighted, hierarchical modular networks. Due to the inertia the synchronization transitions are of first order type, characterized by fast relaxation and hysteresis by varying the global coupling parameter K. Finite size scaling analysis shows that there is no real phase transition in the thermodynamic limit, unlike in the mean-field model. The order parameter and its fluctuations depend on the network size without any real singular behavior. In case of power grids the phase synchronization breaks down at lower global couplings, than in case of 2D lattices of the same sizes, but the hysteresis is much narrower or negligible due to the low connectivity of the graphs. The temporal behavior of de-synchronization avalanches after a sudden quench to low K values, has been followed and duration distributions with power-law tails have been detected. This suggests rare region effects, caused by frozen disorder, resulting in heavy tailed distributions, even without a self organization mechanism as a consequence of a catastrophic drop event in the couplings.

description: Identifying topological insulators and semimetals often focuses on their surface states, using spectroscopic methods such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy or scanning tunneling microscopy. In contrast, studying the topological properties of topological insulators from their bulk-state transport is more accessible in most labs but seldom addressed. We show that, in the quantum limit of a topological insulator, the backscattering between the only two states on the Fermi surface of the lowest Landau band can be forbidden, at a critical magnetic field. The conductivity is determined solely by the backscattering between the two states, leading to a resistance dip that may serve as a signature for topological insulator phases. More importantly, this forbidden backscattering mechanism for the resistance dip is irrelevant to details of disorder scattering. Our theory can be applied to revisit the experiments on Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$Se, ZrTe$_5$, and Ag$_2$Te families, and will be particularly useful for controversial small-gap materials at the boundary between topological and normal insulators.

description: The unique features (super-low background and large sensitive volume) of the CTF and BOREXINO set ups are used in the CAMEO project for a high sensitivity study of 100-Mo and 116-Cd neutrinoless double beta decay. Pilot measurements with 116-Cd and Monte Carlo simulations show that the sensitivity of the CAMEO experiment (in terms of the half-life limit for neutrinoless double beta decay) is (3-5) 10^24 yr with a 1 kg source of 100-Mo (116-Cd, 82-Se, and 150-Nd) and about 10^26 yr with 65 kg of enriched 116-CdWO_4 crystals placed in the liquid scintillator of the CTF. The last value corresponds to a limit on the neutrino mass of less than 0.06 eV. Similarly with 1000 kg of 116-CdWO_4 crystals located in the BOREXINO apparatus the neutrino mass limit can be pushed down to m_nu<0.02 eV.

The formulas are applied to obtain uniform continuity estimates of the heat kernel and to derive an expression of the fundamental solution of the free Schrödinger equation. The results also open up the possibility to approach infinite dimensional spaces based on this model.

description: The capability to assemble structures is fundamental to the use of robotics in precursor missions in orbit and on planetary surfaces. We have performed autonomous assembly in neutral buoyancy of elements of a space truss whose mating components require positioning tolerances of the same order of magnitude as the noise in the sensor systems used for the docking. Numerous trade-offs, design decisions, and innovations were made during the development of the assembly system in order to both reduce and compensate for the sensor noise. By using relative positioning, decoupling sensing and manipulation, caching high-quality position estimates, and developing a new waypoint-completion metric, we were able to reduce sensor noise to the sub-millimeter level and autonomously assemble components with millimeter tolerances. In this paper, we discuss our approaches to the problem and report the results of a series of autonomous assembly operations.

description: Durability of concrete is one of the main concerns to improve its performance and efficiency. Furthermore, concrete durability is mainly related to concrete permeability that could be tested by its capillarity and water absorption. This study presents an experimental investigation on the mechanical and permeability properties at different ages for adding Natural Palm fibers to improve concrete properties. The compressive strength, density, UPV, total water absorption, and capillary water absorption tests were performed to evaluate the effect of fiber incorporation into the concrete on these properties at 7, 28, and 91 days. The volume percentages of fibers added to the concrete mix were 0% (Control mix), 0.5%, 1.0%, 1%, and 1.5% with water cement ratio equal to 0.5 for all concrete mixes. The results indicate that adding natural palm fibers to concrete improves most of the investigated properties especially those related to durability as water absorption and capillarity. Precisely, the water absorption of concrete decreases about 17%, 26%, 51% When using 0.5, 1, 1.5 % fiber content respectively. In addition, capillarity also decreases 16%, 24%, 32% When using 0.5, 1, 1.5 % fiber content respectively. It is concluded that adding Natural Palm fibers to concrete is a feasible strategy to produce more durable, eco-friendly material especially when adding 1.5% fiber (by volume).

description: Kiloparsec-scale dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are active supermassive black hole pairs co-rotating in galaxies with separations of less than a few kpc. Expected to be a generic outcome of hierarchical galaxy formation, their frequency and demographics remain uncertain. We have carried out an imaging survey with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) of AGNs with double-peaked narrow [O III] emission lines. HST/WFC3 offers high image quality in the near-infrared (NIR) to resolve the two stellar nuclei, and in the optical to resolve [O III] from ionized gas in the narrow-line regions. This combination has proven to be key in sorting out alternative scenarios. With HST/WFC3 we are able to explore a new population of close dual AGNs at more advanced merger stages than can be probed from the ground. Here we show that the AGN SDSS J0924+0510, which had previously shown two stellar bulges, contains two spatially distinct [O III] regions consistent with a dual AGN. While we cannot completely exclude cross-ionization from a single central engine, the nearly equal ratios of [O III] strongly suggest a dual AGN with a projected angular separation of 0."4, corresponding to a projected physical separation of $r_p$ = 1 kpc at redshift z = 0.1495. This serves as a proof of principle for combining high-resolution NIR and optical imaging to identify close dual AGNs. Our result suggests that studies based on low-resolution and/or low-sensitivity observations may miss close dual AGNs and thereby may underestimate their occurrence rate on $\lesssim$ kpc scales.

Heating of a Star by Disk Accretion
Creators: name: Popham, Robert
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We examine various ways in which disk accretion can heat an accreting star. These include 1) radiation emitted from the disk surface which is intercepted by the stellar surface, 2) radiative flux directly across the disk-star interface, and 3) advection of thermal energy from the disk into the star. For each of these, the physics of the boundary layer between the disk and the star is crucial to determining the amount of stellar heating that occurs. We assess the importance of the methods listed above for heating the star in accreting pre-main-sequence stars and cataclysmic variables, using recent models of boundary layers in these systems. We find that intercepted radiation tends to be the most important source of stellar heating in thin disk systems such as T Tauri stars and high-$\dot M$ cataclysmic variables. We argue that direct radiation across the disk-star interface will be unimportant in steady-state systems. However, it may be important in outbursting systems, where the disk temperature rises and falls rapidly. Advection of thermal energy into the star becomes the dominant source of stellar heating in thick disk systems such as FU Orionis objects.

description: Positioning is a key task in most field robotics applications but can be very challenging in GPS-denied or high-slip environments. A common tactic in such cases is to position visually, and we present a visual odometry implementation with the unusual reliance on optical mouse sensors to report vehicle velocity. Using multiple kilometers of data from a lunar rover prototype, we demonstrate that, in conjunction with a moderate-grade inertial measurement unit, such a sensor can provide an integrated pose stream that is at times more accurate than that achievable by wheel odometry and visibly more desirable for perception purposes than that provided by a high-end GPS-INS system. A discussion of the sensor’s limitations and several drift mitigating strategies attempted are presented.

description:  
The problem of sampling a large number of random solutions to SAT and SMT constraints is essential for constrained-random verification and testing. However, most current sampling techniques lack a problem-specific notion of coverage, considering only general goals such as uniform distribution. We have developed a new technique for coverage-guided sampling that allows the user to specify the desired coverage points in order to shape the distribution of solutions. Our tool GUIDEDSAMPLER can efficiently generate high-quality stimuli for constrained-random verification, by sampling solutions to a SMT constraint that also cover a large number of user-defined coverage classes.

description: We consider the low-energy signatures of, and high-energy motivations for, scenarios of semi-perturbative gauge coupling unification. Such scenarios can leave striking imprints on the low-energy sparticle spectrum, including novel gaugino mass ratios (including $M_2/M_1\approx1$), substantial compression of the intra-generational squark-to-slepton mass ratios, and an overall lifting of scalar masses relative to the gauginos. We also demonstrate that the unification scale can be raised to $M_X \approx 4\times10^{17}$ GeV while still in the perturbative regime -- close to the 1-loop heterotic string scale. We employ a 3-loop calculation of the running of the gauge couplings as a test of the perturbativity of the high-scale theory.

We describe the principles and theory behind each method, the ingredients needed for measuring such distances, the current observational results, and future prospects. Time delays from strongly lensed quasars currently provide constraints on $H_0$ with < 4% uncertainty, and with 1% within reach from ongoing surveys and efforts. Recent exciting discoveries of strongly lensed supernovae hold great promise for time-delay cosmography. BAO features have been detected in redshift surveys up to z

description: A systematic study of high energy, one-neutron removal reactions on 23 neutron-rich, psd--shell nuclei (Z=5-9, A=12-25) has been carried out. The longitudinal momentum distributions of the core fragments and corresponding single-neutron removal cross sections are reported for reactions on a carbon target. Extended Glauber model calculations, weighted by the spectroscopic factors obtained from shell model calculations, are compared to the experimental results. Conclusions are drawn regarding the use of such reactions as a spectroscopic tool and spin-parity assignments are proposed for 15B, 17C, 19-21N, 21,23O, 23-25F. The nature of the weakly bound systems 14B and 15,17C is discussed.

description: Highway driving can be more safe and reliable when maps contain lane-level detailed cartographic information. Such maps are a resource for driving-assistance systems, enabling them to provide human drivers with precise lane-by-lane advice. This paper proposes new aerial image analysis algorithms that, fromhighway orthoimages, produce lane-level detailed maps. We analyze screenshots of road vectors to obtain the relevant spatial and photometric patterns of road image-regions. We then refine the obtained patterns to generate hypotheses about the true road-lanes. A roadlane hypothesis, since it explains only a part of the true road-lane, is then linked to other hypotheses to completely delineate boundaries of the true road-lanes. Finally, some of the refined image cues about the underlying road network are used to guide a linking process of road-lane hypotheses. We tested the accuracy and robustness of our algorithms with high-resolution, intercity highway ortho-images. Experimental results show promise in producing lane-level detailed highway maps from ortho-image analysis – 89% of the true road-lane boundary pixels were successfully detected and 337 out of 417 true road-lanes were correctly recovered.
