description: Cloud apps like Google Docs and Trello are popular because they enable real-time collaboration with colleagues, and they make it easy for us to access our work from all of our devices. However, by centralizing data storage on servers, cloud apps also take away ownership and agency from users. If a service shuts down, the software stops functioning, and data created with that software is lost. In this article we propose "local-first software", a set of principles for software that enables both collaboration and ownership for users. Local-first ideals include the ability to work offline and collaborate across multiple devices, while also improving the security, privacy, long-term preservation, and user control of data. We survey existing approaches to data storage and sharing, ranging from email attachments to web apps to Firebase-backed mobile apps, and we examine the trade-offs of each. We look at Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs): data structures that are multi-user from the ground up while also being fundamentally local and private. CRDTs have the potential to be a foundational technology for realizing local-first software. We share some of our findings from developing local-first software prototypes at the Ink & Switch research lab over the course of several years. These experiments test the viability of CRDTs in practice, and explore the user interface challenges for this new data model. Lastly, we suggest some next steps for moving towards local-first software: for researchers, for app developers, and a startup opportunity for entrepreneurs.

description: Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) for lists allow multiple users to concurrently insert and delete elements in a shared list object. However, existing algorithms behave poorly when users concurrently move list elements to a new position (i.e. reorder the elements in the list). We demonstrate the need for such a move operation, and describe an algorithm that extends a list CRDT with an explicit move operation. Our algorithm can be used in conjunction with any existing list CRDT algorithm. In addition to moving a single list element, we also discuss the open problem of moving ranges of elements.

description: This paper introduces the M&M model, a novel multimodal-multitask learning framework, applied to the AVCAffe dataset for cognitive load assessment (CLA). M&M uniquely integrates audiovisual cues through a dual-pathway architecture, featuring specialized streams for audio and video inputs. A key innovation lies in its cross-modality multihead attention mechanism, fusing the different modalities for synchronized multitasking. Another notable feature is the model's three specialized branches, each tailored to a specific cognitive load label, enabling nuanced, task-specific analysis. While it shows modest performance compared to the AVCAffe's single-task baseline, M\&M demonstrates a promising framework for integrated multimodal processing. This work paves the way for future enhancements in multimodal-multitask learning systems, emphasizing the fusion of diverse data types for complex task handling.

description: We give an extension of de Finetti’s concept of coherence to unbounded (but real-valued) random variables that allows for gambling in the presence of infinite previsions. We present a finitely additive extension of the Daniell integral to unbounded random variables that we believe has advantages over Lebesgue-style integrals in the finitely additive setting. We also give a general version of the Fundamental Theorem of Prevision to deal with conditional previsions and unbounded random variables.

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a one-dimensional material system with intriguing physical properties that lead to emerging applications. While CNTs are unusually strain resistant compared to bulk materials, their optical-absorption spectrum is highly strain dependent. It is an open question, as to what extent this is attributed to strain-dependent (i) electronic single-particle transitions, (ii) dielectric screening, or (iii) atomic geometries including CNT radii. We use cutting-edge theoretical spectroscopy to explain strain-dependent electronic structure and optical properties of an (8,0) CNT. Quasiparticle effects are taken into account using Hedin's GW approximation and excitonic effects are described by solving a Bethe-Salpeter-equation for the optical polarization function. This accurate first-principles approach allows us to identify an inuence of strain on screening of the Coulomb electron-electron interaction and to quantify the impact on electronic structure and optical absorption of one-dimensional systems. We interpret our thoroughly converged results using an existing scaling relation and extend the use of this relation to strained CNTs: We show that it captures optical absorption with satisfactory accuracy, as long as screening, quasiparticle gap, and effective electron and hole masses of the strained CNT are known.

description: We have constructed four new complete mass tables, referred to as HFB-4 to HFB-7, each one including all the 9200 nuclei lying between the two drip lines over the range of Z and N>8 and Z<120. HFB-4 and HFB-5 have the isoscalar effective mass M*_s$ constrained to the value 0.92 M, with the former having a density-independent pairing, and the latter a density-dependent pairing. HFB-6 and HFB-7 are similar, except that M*_s is constrained to 0.8 M. The rms errors of the mass-data fits are 0.680, 0.675, 0.686, and 0.676 MeV, respectively, almost as good as for the HFB-2 mass formula, for which M*_s was unconstrained. However, as usual, the single-particle spectra depend significantly on M*_s. This decoupling of the mass fits from the fits to the single-particle spectra has been achieved only by making the cutoff parameter of the delta-function pairing force a free parameter. An improved treatment of the center-of-mass correction was adopted, but although this makes a difference to individual nuclei it does not reduce the overall rms error of the fit. The extrapolations of all four new mass formulas out to the drip lines are essentially the same as for the original HFB-2 mass formula.

description: Fully peer-to-peer application software promises many benefits over cloud software, in particular, being able to function indefinitely without requiring servers. Research on distributed consistency mechanisms such as CRDTs has laid the foundation for P2P data synchronisation and collaboration. In this paper we report on our experience in taking these technologies beyond research prototypes, and working towards commercial-grade P2P collaboration software. We identify approaches that work well in our experience, such as the functional reactive programming paradigm, and highlight areas in need of further research, such as the reliability of NAT traversal and usability challenges.

description: With the abundant production and wide application of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs), the potential health risks of ZnONPs have raised serious concerns. Oxidative stress is recognized as the most important outcome of the toxicity induced by ZnONPs. The Nrf2-Keap1 system and its downstream antioxidative genes are the fundamental protective mechanisms for redox hemeostasis. However, the detailed mechanisms of Nrf2 activation in ZnONPs-treated endothelial cells and murine blood vessels have yet to be elucidated. Herein, we show that Nrf2 was activated and played a negative role in cell death induced by ZnONPs. Moreover, we demonstrate that HO-1 was the most extensively upregulated antioxidative gene-activated by Nrf2. Forced overexpression of HO-1, pharmacological activation of HO-1 with the agonists RTA-408 (omaveloxolone, an FDA-approved drug) and RTA-402 repressed cell death, and treatment with HO-1 antagonist SnPP exacerbated the cell death. Importantly, loss of HO-1 diminished the cytoprotective role induced by Nrf2 in ZnONPs-treated HUVEC cells, indicating that the Nrf2-HO-1 axis was the crucial regulatory mechanism for the antioxidative response in the context of ZnONPs-induced endothelial damage. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the p62-Keap1 axis was not involved in the activation of Nrf2. Intriguingly, the degradation half-life of Nrf2 in HUVEC cells was increased from less than 1 h under quiescent conditions to approximately 6 h under ZnONPs treatment condition; moreover, ZnONPs treatment induced activation of Nrf2/HO-1 and accumulation of ubiquitin in the aorta ventralis of mouse, suggesting that the ubiquitin-proteasome system had been perturbed, which subsequently led to the stabilization of Nrf2 and activation of HO-1. This study might contribute to a better understanding of ZnONPs-associated toxicity.

description: In this keynote I give a subjective but systematic overview of the landscape of distributed event-based systems, with an emphasis on two areas I have worked on over the last decade: large-scale stream processing with Apache Kafka and associated tools, and real-time collaboration software in the style of Google Docs. While these may seem at first glance to be very different topics, there are also important points of overlap. This paper lays out a taxonomy of event-based systems that shows where their commonalities and differences lie. It also highlights some of the key trade-offs that arise in the implementation of event-based systems, drawing both from distributed systems theory and from experience of their practical deployment. Finally, the paper outlines a number of open research problems in this field.

description: DC measurements are made in a superconducting, persistent current qubit structure with a time-ordered meter. The persistent-current qubit has a double-well potential, with the two minima corresponding to magnetization states of opposite sign. Macroscopic resonant tunneling between the two wells is observed at values of energy bias that correspond to the positions of the calculated quantum levels. The magnetometer, a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID), detects the state of the qubit in a time-ordered fashion, measuring one state before the other. This results in a different meter output depending on the initial state, providing different signatures of the energy levels for each tunneling direction. From these measurements, the intrawell relaxation time is found to be about 50 microseconds.

description: In this talk we review the consequences of the chiral SU(3) symmetry for strangeness propagation in nuclear matter. Objects of crucial importance are the meson-baryon scattering amplitudes obtained within the chiral coupled-channel effective field theory. Results for antikaon and hyperon-resonance spectral functions in cold nuclear matter are presented and discussed. The importance of the Sigma(1385) resonance for the subthreshold antikaon production in heavy-ion reaction at SIS is pointed out. The in-medium properties of the latter together with an antikaon spectral function based on chiral SU(3) dynamics suggest a significant enhancement of the pi Λ-> bar K N reaction in nuclear matter.

Making CRDTs Byzantine Fault Tolerant

description: It is often claimed that Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) ensure consistency of replicated data in peer-to-peer systems. However, peer-to-peer systems usually consist of untrusted nodes that may deviate from the specified protocol (i.e. exhibit Byzantine faults), and most existing CRDT algorithms cannot guarantee consistency in the presence of such faults. This paper shows how to adapt existing non-Byzantine CRDT algorithms and make them Byzantine fault-tolerant. The proposed scheme can tolerate any number of Byzantine nodes (making it immune to Sybil attacks), guarantees Strong Eventual Consistency, and requires only modest changes to existing CRDT algorithms.
Machine learning for structural design models of continuous beam systems via influence zones

description: This work develops a machine learned structural design model for continuous beam systems from the inverse problem perspective. After demarcating between forward, optimisation and inverse machine learned operators, the investigation proposes a novel methodology based on the recently developed influence zone concept which represents a fundamental shift in approach compared to traditional structural design methods. The aim of this approach is to conceptualise a non-iterative structural design model that predicts cross-section requirements for continuous beam systems of arbitrary system size. After generating a dataset of known solutions, an appropriate neural network architecture is identified, trained, and tested against unseen data. The results show a mean absolute percentage testing error of 1.6% for cross-section property predictions, along with a good ability of the neural network to generalise well to structural systems of variable size. The CBeamXP dataset generated in this work and an associated python-based neural network training script are available at an open-source data repository to allow for the reproducibility of results and to encourage further investigations.

description: First rib fractures are uncommon, mainly in paediatric population, considering its anatomic features and their skeleton plasticity. Traditional teaching usually characterizes it as a hallmark of severe trauma. Herein, to unfold awareness to an unnoticed diagnosis, we describe two paediatric cases of isolated first rib fracture in adolescents without a clear identifiable cause nor an underlining trauma mechanism. Neurovascular injuries should always be investigated, as fracture of the first rib with ensuing callus formation is a rare but fearing cause of thoracic outlet syndrome. We highlight the scarcity of reports on isolated first rib fractures outside of sports medicine, as well as the importance of considering this otherwise easily missed diagnosis in a common complaint in children.

description: I study a class of Wilsonian formulations of non-Abelian gauge theories in algebraic noncovariant gauges where the Wilsonian infrared cutoff $Λ$ is inserted as a mass term for the propagating fields. In this way the Ward-Takahashi identities are preserved to all scales. Nevertheless the BRS-invariance in broken and the theory is gauge-dependent and unphysical at $Λ\neq0$. Then I discuss the infrared limit $Λ\to0$. I show that the singularities of the axial gauge choice are avoided in planar gauge and in light-cone gauge. Finally the rectangular Wilson loop of size $2L\times 2T$ is evaluated at lowest order in perturbation theory and a noncommutativity between the limits $Λ\to0$ and $T\to\infty$ is pointed out.

description: We report on radio continuum and HI observations of the radio source G328.4+0.2 using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Our results confirm G328.4+0.2 to be a filled-center nebula with no surrounding shell, showing significant linear polarization and an almost flat spectral index. These results lead us to conclude that G328.4+0.2 is a Crab-like, or ``plerionic'', supernova remnant (SNR), presumably powered by an unseen central pulsar. HI absorption towards G328.4+0.2 puts a lower limit on its distance of 17.4 +/- 0.9 kpc, making it the largest (D=25 pc) and most luminous (L_R = 3e35 erg/s) Crab-like SNR in the Galaxy. We infer G328.4+0.2 to be significantly older than the Crab Nebula, but powered by a pulsar which is fast spinning (P<20 ms) and which has a comparatively low magnetic field (B<1e12 G). We propose G328.4+0.2, G74.9+1.2 and N157B as a distinct group of large-diameter, high-luminosity Crab-like SNRs, all powered by fast-spinning low-field pulsars.

description: Using continuous development, deployment, and monitoring (CDDM) to understand and improve applications in a customer's context is widely used for non-safety applications such as smartphone apps or web applications to enable rapid and innovative feature improvements. Having demonstrated its potential in such domains, it may have the potential to also improve the software development for automotive functions as some OEMs described on a high level in their financial company communiqus. However, the application of a CDDM strategy also faces challenges from a process adherence and documentation perspective as required by safety-related products such as autonomous driving systems (ADS) and guided by industry standards such as ISO-26262 and ISO21448. There are publications on CDDM in safety-relevant contexts that focus on safety-critical functions on a rather generic level and thus, not specifically ADS or automotive, or that are concentrating only on software and hence, missing out the particular context of an automotive OEM: Well-established legacy processes and the need of their adaptations, and aspects originating from the role of being a system integrator for software/software, hardware/hardware, and hardware/software. In this paper, particular challenges from the automotive domain to better adopt CDDM are identified and discussed to shed light on research gaps to enhance CDDM, especially for the software development of safe ADS. The challenges are identified from today's industrial well-established ways of working by conducting interviews with domain experts and complemented by a literature study.

Pleural Solitary Tumors – Long-Term Prognosis Related To Surgery And Clinicopathological Criteria

description: Introduction: Pleural solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are indolent mesenchymal neoplasias, generally with good prognosis, for which complete surgical resection is the gold standard. However, local recurrences and distant metastases are reported at variable rates. Risk-assessing criteria and models determining recurrence and metastatic risk have been proposed, and can impact on patient follow-up strategies.

Methods: We conducted an observational study comprising a 12 years period to characterize a cohort of 20 surgically resected thoracic SFTs, and to retrospectively assess the prognostic value of England's histology criteria and Demicco's 4-tier model.

Results: All tumors were pleural-based, 12 patients were women, and the mean age at diagnosis was 62.8 years. The median duration of follow-up was ten years, and at the end of the follow-up, all patients were alive, and no distant metastases were reported. Three cases (15%) had local recurrence at the median time of 89.3 months/7.4 years. The only case with an incomplete surgical resection relapsed. Collectively, tumors with worst prognostic features, specifically a positive margin or tumors with malignant histology or non-low-risk features, according to England's and Demicco's models, respectively, were associated with recurrence.

Conclusion: These results confirm the importance of complete surgical resection of SFTs, and show that risk stratification criteria and models can predict important surgical outcomes such as recurrence. Moreover, they support a risk-based follow-up schedule, as patients with higher relapse risk can benefit from close follow-up.

In addition, we construct exponential-size constant-query PCPs for NEXP with perfect zero knowledge against any polynomial-time adversary. This improves upon both a recent construction of perfect zero-knowledge PCPs for #P (STOC 2024) and the seminal work of Kilian, Petrank and Tardos (STOC 1997).

description: There has been a long history of research into the structure and evolution of mankind's scientific endeavor. However, recent progress in applying the tools of science to understand science itself has been unprecedented because only recently has there been access to high-volume and high-quality data sets of scientific output (e.g., publications, patents, grants), as well as computers and algorithms capable of handling this enormous stream of data. This paper reviews major work on models that aim to capture and recreate the structure and dynamics of scientific evolution. We then introduce a general process model that simultaneously grows co-author and paper-citation networks. The statistical and dynamic properties of the networks generated by this model are validated against a 20-year data set of articles published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Systematic deviations from a power law distribution of citations to papers are well fit by a model that incorporates a partitioning of authors and papers into topics, a bias for authors to cite recent papers, and a tendency for authors to cite papers cited by papers that they have read. In this TARL model (for Topics, Aging, and Recursive Linking), the number of topics is linearly related to the clustering coefficient of the simulated paper citation network.

description: The [CII] fine structure transition at 158 microns is the dominant cooling line of cool interstellar gas, and is the brightest of emission lines from star forming galaxies from FIR through meter wavelengths. With the advent of ALMA and NOEMA, capable of detecting [CII]-line emission in high-redshift galaxies, there has been a growing interest in using the [CII] line as a probe of the physical conditions of the gas in galaxies, and as a SFR indicator at z>4. In this paper, we use a semi-analytical model of galaxy evolution (G.A.S.) combined with the code CLOUDY to predict the [CII] luminosity of a large number of galaxies at 4< z<8. At such high redshift, the CMB represents a strong background and we discuss its effects on the luminosity of the [CII] line. We study the LCII-SFR and LCII-Zg relations and show that they do not strongly evolve with redshift from z=4 and to z=8. Galaxies with higher [CII] luminosities tend to have higher metallicities and higher star formation rates but the correlations are very broad, with a scatter of about 0.5 dex for LCII-SFR. Our model reproduces the LCII-SFR relations observed in high-redshift star-forming galaxies, with [CII] luminosities lower than expected from local LCII-SFR relations. Accordingly, the local observed LCII-SFR relation does not apply at high-z. Our model naturally produces the [CII] deficit, which appears to be strongly correlated with the intensity of the radiation field in our simulated galaxies. We then predict the [CII] luminosity function, and show that it has a power law form in the range of LCII probed by the model with a slope alpha=1. The slope is not evolving from z=4 to z=8 but the number density of [CII]-emitters decreases by a factor of 20x. We discuss our predictions in the context of current observational estimates on both the differential and cumulative luminosity functions.

Relative Topological Integrals and Relative Cheeger-Simons Differential Characters
Creators: name: Zucchini, Roberto
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Topological integrals appear frequently in Lagrangian field theories. On manifolds without boundary, they can be treated in the framework of (absolute) (co)homology using the formalism of Cheeger--Simons differential characters. String and D--brane theory involve field theoretic models on worldvolumes with boundary. On manifolds with boundary, the proper treatment of topological integrals requires a generalization of the usual differential topological set up and leads naturally to relative (co)homology and relative Cheeger--Simons differential characters. In this paper, we present a construction of relative Cheeger--Simons differential characters which is computable in principle and which contains the ordinary Cheeger--Simons differential characters as a particular case.

description: There is substantial evidence from many domains that visual representations aid various forms of cognition. We aimed to determine whether learning to construct visual representations of argument structure enhanced the acquisition and development of argumentative writing skills within the context of first-year college writing course. We found a significant effect of the use of argument diagrams, and this effect was stable even when multiple plausible correlates were controlled for. These results suggest that natural⎯and relatively minor⎯modifications to standard first-year composition courses could provide substantial increases in student writing ability

description: Highly inelastic electron scattering is analyzed within the context of the unified relativistic approach previously considered in the case of quasielastic kinematics. Inelastic relativistic Fermi gas modeling that includes the complete inelastic spectrum - resonant, non-resonant and Deep Inelastic Scattering - is elaborated and compared with experimental data. A phenomenological extension of the model based on direct fits to data is also introduced. Within both models, cross sections and response functions are evaluated and binding energy effects are analyzed. Finally, an investigation of the second-kind scaling behavior is also presented.

description: Code revert prediction, a specialized form of software defect detection, aims to forecast or predict the likelihood of code changes being reverted or rolled back in software development. This task is very important in practice because by identifying code changes that are more prone to being reverted, developers and project managers can proactively take measures to prevent issues, improve code quality, and optimize development processes. However, compared to code defect detection, code revert prediction has been rarely studied in previous research. Additionally, many previous methods for code defect detection relied on independent features but ignored relationships between code scripts. Moreover, new challenges are introduced due to constraints in an industry setting such as company regulation, limited features and large-scale codebase. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a systematic empirical study for code revert prediction that integrates the code import graph with code features. Different strategies to address anomalies and data imbalance have been implemented including graph neural networks with imbalance classification and anomaly detection. We conduct the experiments on real-world code commit data within J.P. Morgan Chase which is extremely imbalanced in order to make a comprehensive comparison of these different approaches for the code revert prediction problem.

description: Das Trinkgeldgeben ist weltweit als soziale Norm verankert. Trinkgeld dient nicht nur als zusätzliche Einkommensquelle für Beschäftigte, sondern fungiert auch als Anreiz für einen guten Service. Diese Dynamik ist besonders in der Gastronomiebranche vorzufinden, die mit niedrigen Stundenlöhnen und einem akuten Fachkräftemangel zu kämpfen hat. Doch die Thematik «Trinkgeld» ist äusserst facettenreich. Unterschiedliche Verteilungspraktiken können zu sozialen Spannungen und Unzufriedenheit führen, vor allem wenn Mitarbeitende das Gefühl haben, unfair behandelt zu werden. Hierbei ist das Arbeitsklima in der Gastronomiebranche von zentraler Bedeutung, da zufriedene Mitarbeiter/innen gemäss des Service-Profit-Chain-Modells zu einer verbesserten externen Servicequalität und damit zu einer erhöhten Kundenzufriedenheit als auch einem Umsatzwachstum beitragen. Dennoch ist die Forschungslage zu diesem Thema, insbesondere in europäischem Kontext, begrenzt. Es fehlen Einblicke darüber, wie Trinkgelder verteilt werden und welche Präferenzen die Mitarbeitenden diesbezüglich haben.
In dieser Arbeit werden die gängigen Trinkgeldverteilungspraktiken in deutschen Restaurants und Cafés analysiert. In die Untersuchung fliessen verschiedene Betriebsmerkmale ein, wie beispielsweise die akzeptierte Bezahlmethoden für Trinkgeld, die Art des Gastronomiebetriebs und das Preisniveau. Zusätzlich erfolgt die Erfassung der Wahrnehmungen der Mitarbeitenden in Bezug auf die existierenden Trinkgeldverteilungspraktiken. Zu diesem Zweck wurden mündliche Befragungen in 42 Gastronomiebetrieben sowie eine nicht-experimentelle Onlinebefragung mit 164 Mitarbeitenden der Gastronomiebranche durchgeführt.
Die Auswertungen zeigen, dass die am häufigsten in Deutschland angewendeten Trinkgeldverteilungspraktiken das «Trinkgeld-Sharing» und das «Trinkgeld-Pooling» unter allen Mitarbeitenden sind. Dabei konnte ein statistisch signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen der Art und des Preisniveaus der Betriebe und der praktizierten Trinkgeldverteilung festgestellt werden. Die Ergebnisse der Regressionsanalyse zeigen zudem, dass die Zufriedenheit mit der Trinkgeldhöhe einen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Zufriedenheit mit der Trinkgeldverteilung hat. Die praktizierte Trinkgeldverteilung hat jedoch keine signifikanten Auswirkungen auf die Zufriedenheit mit der Verteilung. Dies lässt sich durch die subjektive Wahrnehmung von Fairness zwischen Mitarbeitergruppen erklären.
Um ein positives Arbeitsumfeld zu schaffen, ist es für das Management wichtig, die Vorzüge der Angestellten in Bezug auf die Trinkgeldverteilung zu verstehen, damit entsprechende Massnahmen ergriffen werden können, um eine für alle Mitarbeitenden akzeptable Lösung zu finden. Dies kann vor allem durch regelmässige und transparente Gespräche sowie durch die Berücksichtigung von sozialen Vergleichen erreicht werden.
