description: This is the online appendix of the paper Alessandro Tundo, Marco Mobilio, Oliviero Riganelli and Leonardo Mariani. "Monitoring Probe Deployment Patterns for Cloud-Native Applications: Definition and Empirical Assessment." Submitted to IEEE Transactions of Services Computing. The abstract of the paper follows: Cloud computing facilities enable global connectivity of actors (e.g., humans, robots, devices and sensors) and services across many heterogeneous domains such as health care, mobile computing, and telecommunication.
 Actors and services need to reliably interact, despite the impossibility to fully anticipate the huge number of possible execution scenarios. In this context, monitoring is a key feature to enhance systems with the capability to anticipate, detect, predict, and mitigate failures, while providing Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guarantee.

 Monitoring frameworks can serve these purposes by deploying probes according to many possible patterns that have different features, for instance in terms of efficiency and privacy. So far, these probe deployment patterns have not been systematically defined, analyzed and assessed. Thus, engineers who design and configure their monitoring systems have to take decisions only based on partial knowledge and personal experience.

 This paper addresses this knowledge gap, by presenting a systematic analysis of 11 probe deployment patterns, their known uses, and implementations. Further, we assess these schema both quantitatively and qualitatively, distilling findings that can guide engineers in the configuration of their monitoring systems. We experimented with both virtual machines and containers, obtaining a total of 990 configurations and 166320 samples collected over 462 execution hours.

 Results show the resource consumption on targets is negligible and the probe holder consumption is significantly mainly in relation to memory consumption. Although on different scale values, both experiments with container-based and with VM-based applications resulted in similar trends.

description: In this work, we present a result on the non-equilibrium dynamics causing equilibration and Gaussification of quadratic non-interacting fermionic Hamiltonians. Specifically, based on two basic assumptions - clustering of correlations in the initial state and the Hamiltonian exhibiting delocalizing transport - we prove that non-Gaussian initial states become locally indistinguishable from fermionic Gaussian states after a short and well controlled time. This relaxation dynamics is governed by a power-law independent of the system size. Our argument is general enough to allow for pure and mixed initial states, including thermal and ground states of interacting Hamiltonians on and large classes of lattices as well as certain spin systems. The argument gives rise to rigorously proven instances of a convergence to a generalized Gibbs ensemble. Our results allow to develop an intuition of equilibration that is expected to be more generally valid and relates to current experiments of cold atoms in optical lattices.

description: The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model of polyacetylene is a paradigmatic Hamiltonian exhibiting non-trivial edge states. By using Floquet theory we study how the spectrum of this one-dimensional topological insulator is affected by a time-dependent potential. In particular, we evidence the competition among different photon-assisted processes and the native topology of the unperturbed Hamiltonian to settle the resulting topology at different driving frequencies. While some regions of the quasienergy spectrum develop new gaps hosting Floquet edge states, the native gap can be dramatically reduced and the original edge states may be destroyed or replaced by new Floquet edge states. Our study is complemented by an analysis of Zak phase applied to the Floquet bands. Besides serving as a simple example for understanding the physics of driven topological phases, our results could find a promising test-ground in cold matter experiments.

description: We demonstrate that AI can learn atomistic systems in the four-dimensional (4D) spacetime. For this, we introduce the 4D-spacetime GICnet model which for the given initial conditions - nuclear positions and velocities at time zero - can predict nuclear positions and velocities as a continuous function of time up to the distant future. Such models of molecules can be unrolled in the time dimension to yield long-time high-resolution molecular dynamics trajectories with high efficiency and accuracy. 4D-spacetime models can make predictions for different times in any order and do not need a stepwise evaluation of forces and integration of the equations of motions at discretized time steps, which is a major advance over the traditional, cost-inefficient molecular dynamics. These models can be used to speed up dynamics, simulate vibrational spectra, and obtain deeper insight into nuclear motions as we demonstrate for a series of organic molecules.

description: The detection of astrophysical neutrinos from transient sources can help to understand the origin of the neutrino diffuse flux and to constrain the underlying production mechanisms. In particular, proton-neutron collisions may produce GeV neutrinos. However, at these energies, neutrino data from large water Cherenkov telescopes, like KM3NeT and IceCube, are dominated by the well-known atmospheric neutrino flux. It is then necessary to identify a sub-dominant component due to an astrophysical emission based on time correlation across messengers. The contribution covers several methods to search for such a signal in short time windows centered on observed transient sources, including a novel approach based on the distribution of time differences. Their performance is compared in the context of subpopulations of astrophysical sources that may show prompt or delayed neutrino emissions. The outlook for the usage of such techniques in actual analyses is also presented.

description: An 852nm nanosecond laser pulse chain with a high on/off ratio is generated by chopping a continuous-wave laser beam using a Mach-Zehnder-type electro-optic intensity modulator(MZ-EOIM). The detailed dependence of the MZ-EOIM's on/off ratio on various parameters is characterized. By optimizing the incident beam polarization and stabilizing the MZ-EOIM temperature, a static on/off ratio of 12600:1 is achieved. The dynamic on/off ratios versus the pulse repetition rate and the pulse duty cycle are measured and discussed. The high-on/off-ratio nanosecond pulsed laser system was used in a triggered single-photon source based on a trapped single cesium atom, which reveals clear antibunching.

description: In an effort to better understand the evolution of composite supernova remnants (SNRs) and the eventual fate of relativistic particles injected by their pulsars, we present a multifaceted investigation of the interaction between a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) and its host SNR G327.1-1.1. Our 350 ks Chandra X-ray observations of SNR G327.1-1.1 reveal a highly complex morphology; a cometary structure resembling a bow shock, prong-like features extending into large arcs in the SNR interior, and thermal emission from the SNR shell. Spectral analysis of the non-thermal emission offers clues about the origin of the PWN structures, while enhanced abundances in the PWN region provide evidence for mixing of supernova ejecta with PWN material. The overall morphology and spectral properties of the SNR suggest that the PWN has undergone an asymmetric interaction with the SNR reverse shock (RS) that can occur as a result of a density gradient in the ambient medium and/or a moving pulsar that displaces the PWN from the center of the remnant. We present hydrodynamical simulations of G327.1-1.1 that show that its morphology and evolution can be described by a ~ 17,000 yr old composite SNR that expanded into a density gradient with an orientation perpendicular to the pulsar's motion. We also show that the RS/PWN interaction scenario can reproduce the broadband spectrum of the PWN from radio to gamma-ray wavelengths. The analysis and modeling presented in this work have important implications for our general understanding of the structure and evolution of composite SNRs.

The effects of work-life balance on work motivation of civil aviation sector employees during the COVID-19 outbreak in Türkiye
Creators: name: ŞAHİN, Fatih

description: Today, many individuals work for extended periods, leaving little time for their personal lives. This can have adverse effects on happiness, productivity, and job satisfaction across all sectors. In the aviation industry, these effects can lead to irreversible negative consequences. Therefore, it is crucial for aviation employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance and high levels of work motivation. The lack of attention given to these important topics in Turkish aviation literature is the primary motivation for this study. The topic of work-life balance is a popular subject in literature. Articles and theses typically explore work-life balance in relation to employee productivity, work addiction, organizational commitment, burnout, and gender inequality. The number of studies examining the unity of the aviation and tourism sectors is limited. Additionally, no research has been found on the impact of work-life balance on work motivation during the COVID-19 epidemic, which is the focus of this thesis. Therefore, this study aims to contribute to the literature on civil aviation and tourism. The research employed a quantitative method and collected data through a questionnaire. The sample of the study consists of 458 cockpit and cabin crew working in airline companies operating in Türkiye. To examine the difference in scores obtained from participant measurements based on demographic characteristics, we used independent sample t-tests for groups of 2 and one-way ANOVA tests for groups of more than 2. The research revealed a strong positive correlation between the participants' work-life balance and work motivation. The results of the T-test and ANOVA indicated that the work-life balance and work motivation of aviation employees varied depending on their demographic characteristics.

description: Current video object detection (VOD) models often encounter issues with over-aggregation due to redundant aggregation strategies, which perform feature aggregation on every frame. This results in suboptimal performance and increased computational complexity. In this work, we propose an image-level Object Detection Difficulty (ODD) metric to quantify the difficulty of detecting objects in a given image. The derived ODD scores can be used in the VOD process to mitigate over-aggregation. Specifically, we train an ODD predictor as an auxiliary head of a still-image object detector to compute the ODD score for each image based on the discrepancies between detection results and ground-truth bounding boxes. The ODD score enhances the VOD system in two ways: 1) it enables the VOD system to select superior global reference frames, thereby improving overall accuracy; and 2) it serves as an indicator in the newly designed ODD Scheduler to eliminate the aggregation of frames that are easy to detect, thus accelerating the VOD process. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that, when utilized for selecting global reference frames, ODD-VOD consistently enhances the accuracy of Global-frame-based VOD models. When employed for acceleration, ODD-VOD consistently improves the frames per second (FPS) by an average of 73.3% across 8 different VOD models without sacrificing accuracy. When combined, ODD-VOD attains state-of-the-art performance when competing with many VOD methods in both accuracy and speed. Our work represents a significant advancement towards making VOD more practical for real-world applications.

description: We examine the evolution of intrinsic u-r colours of galaxies in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, which has been shown to reproduce the observed redshift z=0.1 colour-magnitude distribution well. The median u-r of star-forming ('blue cloud') galaxies reddens by 1 mag from z=2 to 0 at fixed stellar mass, as their specific star formation rates decrease with time. A red sequence starts to build-up around z=1, due to the quenching of low-mass satellite galaxies at the faint end, and due to the quenching of more massive central galaxies by their active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the bright end. This leaves a dearth of intermediate-mass red sequence galaxies at z=1, which is mostly filled in by z=0. We quantify the time-scales of colour transition due to satellite and AGN quenching, finding that most galaxies spend less than 2 Gyr in the 'green valley'. On examining the trajectories of galaxies in a colour-stellar mass diagram, we identify three characteristic tracks that galaxies follow (quiescently star-forming, quenching and rejuvenating galaxies) and quantify the fraction of galaxies that follow each track.

description: We present a quantum-field-theoretical framework based on path integrals and Feynman diagrams for the investigation of the quantum-optical properties of one-dimensional waveguiding structures with embedded quantum impurities. In particular, we obtain the Green's functions for a waveguide with an embedded two-level system in the single- and two-excitation sector for arbitrary dispersion relations. In the single excitation sector, we show how to sum the diagrammatic perturbation series to all orders and thus obtain explicit expressions for physical quantities such as the spectral density and the scattering matrix. In the two-excitation sector, we show that strictly linear dispersion relations exhibit the special property that the corresponding diagrammatic perturbation series terminates after two terms, again allowing for closed-form expressions for physical quantities. In the case of general dispersion relations, notably those exhibiting a band edge or waveguide cut-off frequencies, the perturbation series cannot be summed explicitly. Instead, we derive a self-consistent T-matrix equation that reduces the computational effort to that of a single-excitation computation. This analysis allows us to identify a Fano resonance between the occupied quantum impurity and a free photon in the waveguide as a unique signature of the few-photon nonlinearity inherent in such systems. In addition, our diagrammatic approach allows for the classification of different physical processes such as the creation of photon-photon correlations and interaction-induced radiation trapping - the latter being absent for strictly linear dispersion relations. Our framework can serve as the basis for further studies that involve more complex scenarios such as several and many-level quantum impurities, networks of coupled waveguides, disordered systems, and non-equilibrium effects.

description: Sugars of extraterrestrial origin have been observed in the interstellar medium (ISM), in at least one comet spectrum, and in several carbonaceous chondritic meteorites that have been recovered from the surface of the Earth. The origins of these sugars within the meteorites have been debated. To explore the possibility that sugars could be generated during shock events, this paper reports on the results of the first laboratory impact experiments wherein glycolaldehyde, found in the ISM, as well as glycolaldehyde mixed with montmorillonite clay, have been subjected to reverberated shocks from ~5 to >25 GPa. New biologically relevant molecules, including threose, erythrose and ethylene glycol, were identified in the resulting samples. These results show that sugar molecules can not only survive but also become more complex during impact delivery to planetary bodies.

description: We consider thermal transport in low-dimensional disordered harmonic networks of coupled masses. Utilizing known results regarding Anderson localization, we derive the actual dependence of the thermal conductance $G$ on the length $L$ of the sample. This is required by nanotechnology implementations because for such networks Fourier's law $G \propto 1/L^α$ with $α=1$ is violated. In particular we consider "glassy" disorder in the coupling constants, and find an anomaly which is related by duality to the Lifshitz-tail regime in the standard Anderson model.

description: We report on the complete OPE series for the 6-gluon MHV and NMHV amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. Namely, we provide a finite coupling prediction for all the terms in the expansion of these amplitudes around the collinear limit. These furnish a non-perturbative representation of the full amplitudes.

Light curves and spectra from off-axis gamma-ray bursts

description: If gamma-ray burst prompt emission originates at a typical radius, and if material producing the emission moves at relativistic speed, then the variability of the resulting light curve depends on the viewing angle. This is due to the fact that the pulse evolution time scale is Doppler contracted, while the pulse separation is not. For off-axis viewing angles $θ_{\rm view} \gtrsim θ_{\rm jet} + Γ^{-1}$, the pulse broadening significantly smears out the light curve variability. This is largely independent of geometry and emission processes. To explore a specific case, we set up a simple model of a single pulse under the assumption that the pulse rise and decay are dominated by the shell curvature effect. We show that such a pulse observed off-axis is (i) broader, (ii) softer and (iii) displays a different hardness-intensity correlation with respect to the same pulse seen on-axis. For each of these effects, we provide an intuitive physical explanation. We then show how a synthetic light curve made by a superposition of pulses changes with increasing viewing angle. We find that a highly variable light curve, (as seen on-axis) becomes smooth and apparently single-pulsed (when seen off-axis) because of pulse overlap. To test the relevance of this fact, we estimate the fraction of off-axis gamma-ray bursts detectable by \textit{Swift} as a function of redshift, finding that a sizable fraction (between 10\% and 80\%) of nearby ($z<0.1$) bursts are observed with $θ_{\rm view} \gtrsim θ_{\rm jet} + Γ^{-1}$. Based on these results, we argue that low luminosity gamma-ray bursts are consistent with being ordinary bursts seen off-axis.

description: We prove that each closed locally continuum- connected subspace of a finite dimensional topological group is locally compact. This allows us to construct many 1-dimensional metrizable separable spaces that are not homeomorphic to closed subsets of finite-dimensional topological groups, which answers in negative a question of D.Shakhmatov. Another corollary is a characterization of Lie groups as finite-dimensional locally continuum-connected topological groups. For locally path connected topological groups this characterization was proved by Gleason and Palais in 1957.
