description: Modern DRAM cells are periodically refreshed to prevent data loss due to leakage. Commodity DDR (double data rate) DRAM refreshes cells at the rank level. This degrades performance significantly because it prevents an entire DRAM rank from serving memory requests while being refreshed. DRAMdesigned for mobile platforms, LPDDR (low power DDR) DRAM, supports an enhanced mode, called per-bank refresh, that refreshes cells at the bank level. This enables a bank to be accessed while another in the same rank is being refreshed, alleviating part of the negative performance impact ofrefreshes. Unfortunately, there are two shortcomings of per-bank refresh employed in today's systems. First, we observe that the perbank refresh scheduling scheme does not exploit the full potential of overlapping refreshes with accesses across banks because it restricts the banks to be refreshed in a sequential round-robin order. Second, accesses to a bank that is being refreshed have to wait. To mitigate the negative performance impact of DRAM refresh, we propose two complementary mechanisms, DARP (Dynamic Access Refresh Parallelization) and SARP (Subarray Access RefreshParallelization). The goal is to address the drawbacks of per-bank refresh by building more efficient techniques to parallelize refreshes and accesses within DRAM. First, instead of issuing per-bankrefreshes in a round-robin order, as it is done today, DARP issues per-bank refreshes to idle banks in an out-of-order manner. Furthermore, DARP proactively schedules refreshes during intervals when a batch of writes are draining to DRAM. Second, SARP exploits the existence of mostly-independent subarrays within a bank. With minor modifications to DRAM organization, it allows a bank to serve memory accesses to an idle subarray while another subarray is being refreshed. Extensive evaluations on a wide variety of workloads and systems show that our mechanisms improve system performance(and energy efficiency) compared to three st- te-of-the-art refresh policies and the performance benefit increases as DRAM density increases.

The paper also describes FORS, an environment for implementing these alternatives. FORS treats both procedures and data sets as objects. A visual programming interface is provided for the manipulation of these objects. The interface shields the user from much of the drudgery of building and using systems for distributed problem solving."

description: Abstract: "The goal of machine learning for synthesis is the acquisition of the relationships between form, function, and behavior properties that satisfy design requirements. The proposed approach creates a function to estimate the probability of each possible value of each design property being used in a given design context. NETSYN uses a connectionist learning approach to acquire and represent this probability estimation function and exhibits good performance for a posed artificial design problem. The objective of future work is to apply NETSYN to realistic design domains, specifically the domain of computer system design as practiced by M1."

description: Since May 2011 the AMS-02 experiment is installed on the International Space Station and is observing cosmic radiation. It consists of several state-of-the-art sub-detectors, which redundantly measure charge and energy of traversing particles. Due to the long exposure time of AMS-02 of many years the measurement of momentum for protons and ions is limited systematically by the spatial resolution and magnetic field strength of the silicon tracker. The maximum detectable rigidity for protons is about 1.8~TV, for helium about 3.6~TV. We investigate the possibility to extend the range of the energy measurement for heavy nuclei ($Z\geq2$) with the transition radiation detector (TRD). The response function of the TRD shows a steep increase in signal from the level of ionization at a Lorentz factor $γ$ of about 500 to $γ\approx20000$, where the transition radiation signal saturates. For heavy ions the signal fluctuations in the TRD are sufficiently small to allow an energy measurement with the TRD beyond the limitations of the tracker. The energy resolution of the TRD is determined and reaches a level of about 20\% for boron ($Z=5$). After adjusting the operational parameters of the TRD a measurement of boron and carbon could be possible up to 5~TeV/nucleon.

description: In this paper, we provide optimal solutions to two different (but related) input/output design problems involving large-scale linear dynamical systems, where the cost associated to each directly actuated/measured state variable can take different values, but is independent of the labeled input/output variable. Under these conditions, we first aim to determine and characterize the input/output placement that incurs in the minimum cost while ensuring that the resulting placement achieves structural controllability/observability. Further, we address a constrained variant of the above problem, in which we seek to determine the minimum cost placement configuration, among all possible input/output placement configurations that ensures structural controllability/observability, with the lowest number of directly actuated/measured state variables. We show that both problems can be solved efficiently, i.e., using algorithms with polynomial time complexity in the number of the state variables. Finally, we illustrate the obtained results with an example.

description: The paper characterizes the invariant filtering measures resulting from Kalman filtering with intermittent observations in which the observation arrival is modeled as a Bernoulli process with packet arrival probability γ̅. Our prior work showed that, for γ̅ >; 0 , the sequence of random conditional error covariance matrices converges weakly to a unique invariant distribution μγ̅. This paper shows that, as γ̅ approaches one, the family {μγ̅}γ̅ >; 0 satisfies a moderate deviations principle with good rate function I (·): (1) as γ̅ ↑ 1 , the family {μγ̅} converges weakly to the Dirac measure δP*concentrated on the fixed point of the associated discrete time Riccati operator; (2) the probability of a rare event (an event bounded away from P*) under μγ̅ decays to zero as a power law of (1-γ̅) as γ̅↑ 1; and, (3) the best power law decay exponent is obtained by solving a deterministic variational problem involving the rate function I (·). For specific scenarios, the paper develops computationally tractable methods that lead to efficient estimates of rare event probabilities under μγ̅.

description: We propose a new method for linear dimensionality reduction of manifold-modeled data. Given a training set X of Q points belonging to a manifold M ⊂ ℝN, we construct a linear operator P : ℝN → ℝM that approximately preserves the norms of all (2Q) pairwise difference vectors (or secants) of X. We design the matrix P via a trace-norm minimization that can be efficiently solved as a semi-definite program (SDP). When X comprises a sufficiently dense sampling of M, we prove that the optimal matrix P preserves all pairs of secants over M. We numerically demonstrate the considerable gains using our SDP-based approach over existing linear dimensionality reduction methods, such as principal components analysis (PCA) and random projections.

description: A prototype of Multi-strip Multi-gap Resistive Plate chamber (MMRPC) with active area 40 cm $\times$ 20 cm has been developed at SINP, Kolkata. Detailed response of the developed detector was studied with the pulsed electron beam from ELBE at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. In this report the response of SINP developed MMRPC with different controlling parameters is described in details. The obtained time resolution ($σ_t$) of the detector after slew correction was 91.5$ \pm $3 ps. Position resolution measured along ($σ_x$) and across ($σ_y$) the strip was 2.8$\pm$0.6 cm and 0.58 cm, respectively. The measured absolute efficiency of the detector for minimum ionizing particle like electron was 95.8$\pm$1.3 $\%$. Better timing resolution of the detector can be achieved by restricting the events to a single strip. The response of the detector was mainly in avalanche mode but a few percentage of streamer mode response was also observed. A comparison of the response of these two modes with trigger rate was studied

description: A modern geological model is a three-dimensional digital analogue of a field. It is created on the basis of seismic survey data (primarily 3D seismic), geophysical surveys of wells, core samples, and drilled well trajectories. The article presents a modern technique for constructing a geological model that allows predicting the distribution of facies-petrophysical properties within the reservoir of the Upper Permian horizon using the example of one of the fields on the eastern side of the Caspian deep. This is a relevant opportunity to increase the chances of successful exploration planning, development monitoring and production forecasting.

description: High-speed monitoring of Internet traffic is an important
and challenging problem, with applications to realtime
attack detection and mitigation, traffic engineering,
etc. However, packet-level monitoring requires fast
streaming algorithms that use very little memory and little
communication among collaborating network monitoring
points.

In this paper, we consider the problem of detecting
superspreaders, which are sources that connect to
a large number of distinct destinations. We propose
new streaming algorithms for detecting superspreaders
and prove guarantees on their accuracy and memory
requirements. We also show experimental results
on real network traces. Our algorithms are substantially
more efficient (both theoretically and experimentally)
than previous approaches. We also extend our algorithms
to identify superspreaders in a distributed setting,
with sliding windows, and when deletions are allowed
in the stream (which lets us identify sources that
make a large number of failed connections to distinct
destinations).

More generally, our algorithms are applicable to any
problem that can be formulated as follows: given a
stream of (x; y) pairs, find all the x’s that are paired
with a large number of distinct y’s. We call this the
heavy distinct-hitters problem. There are many network
security applications of this general problem. This paper
discusses these applications and, for concreteness,
focuses on the superspreader problem.

description: This paper aims to tackle two fundamental memory bottlenecks: limited off-chip bandwidth (bandwidth wall) and long access latency (memory wall). To achieve this goal, our approach exploits the inherent error resilience of a wide range of applications. We introduce an approximation technique, called Rollback-Free Value Prediction (RFVP). When certain safe-to-approximate load operations miss in the cache, RFVP predicts the requested values. However, RFVP never checks for or recovers from load value mispredictions, hence avoiding the high cost of pipeline flushes and re-executions. RFVP mitigates the memory wall by enabling the execution to continue without stalling for long-latency memory accesses. To mitigate the bandwidth wall, RFVP drops some fraction of load requests which miss in the cache after predicting their values. Dropping requests reduces memory bandwidth contention by removing them from the system. The drop rate then becomes a knob to control the tradeoff between performance/energy efficiency and output quality.
For a diverse set of applications from Rodinia, Mars, and NVIDIA SDK, employing RFVP with a 14KB predictor per streaming multiprocessor (SM) in a modern GPU delivers, on average, 40% speedup and 31% energy reduction, with average 8.8% quality loss. With 10% loss in quality, the benefits reach a maximum of 2.4× speedup and 2.0× energy reduction. As an extension, we also evaluate RFVP’s latency benefits for a single core CPU. For a subset of the SPEC CFP 2000/2006 benchmarks that are amenable to safe approximation, RFVP achieves, on average, 8% speedup and 6% energy reduction, with 0.9% average quality loss.

description: Localization-based super-resolution techniques are revolutionizing biological research by breaking the diffraction limit of fluorescence microscopy. Each super-resolution image is reconstructed from a time series of images of randomly activated fluorophores. Here, a fundamental question is to determine the minimal imaging length so that the reconstructed image faithfully reflects the biological structures under observation. So far, proposed methods focus entirely on image resolution, which reflects localizationuncertainty and fluorophore density, without taking into account the fact that images of biological structures are structured rather than random patterns. Here, we propose a different approach to determine imaging length based on direct quantification of image structural information using Gabor filters. Experimental results show that this approach is superior over approaches that only account forimage-intensity distribution, confirming the importance of using structural information. In contrast toresolution-based methods, our method does not require an artificial selection of image resolution and provides a statistically rigorous strategy for determining imaging length based on image structural information.

description: We study a charged and massive scalar field in the background of the Nutku-Ghezelbash-Kumar metric which is obtained by the addition of a time coordinate to the Nutku helicoid metric in a non-trivial way. The angular part of the Klein-Gordon equation can be written as a double confluent Heun equation. The radial equation cannot be solved in terms of a known function in its general form. However, in some special cases, the radial equation can also be written explicitly as a double confluent Heun equation. We study the full radial equation numerically and observe that the electromagnetic field parameter defines an effective cut-off on the range of the radial coordinate. Finally, we obtain a quasi-exact solution with an approximation.

description: The quantification of the entanglement present in a physical system is of para\-mount importance for fundamental research and many cutting-edge applications. Currently, achieving this goal requires either a priori knowledge on the system or very demanding experimental procedures such as full state tomography or collective measurements. Here, we demonstrate that by employing neural networks we can quantify the degree of entanglement without needing to know the full description of the quantum state. Our method allows for direct quantification of the quantum correlations using an incomplete set of local measurements. Despite using undersampled measurements, we achieve a quantification error of up to an order of magnitude lower than the state-of-the-art quantum tomography. Furthermore, we achieve this result employing networks trained using exclusively simulated data. Finally, we derive a method based on a convolutional network input that can accept data from various measurement scenarios and perform, to some extent, independently of the measurement device.

description: We investigate symmetry of the silting quiver of a given algebra which is induced by an anti-automorphism of the algebra. In particular, one shows that if there is a primitive idempotent fixed by the anti-automorphism, then the 2-silting quiver ($=$ the support $τ$-tilting quiver) has a bisection. Consequently, in that case, we obtain that the cardinality of the 2-silting quiver is an even number (if it is finite).

description: Internet of Things devices are envisioned to penetrate essentially all aspects of life, including homes and urbanspaces, in use cases such as health care, assisted living, and smart cities. One often proposed solution for dealing with the massive amount of data collected by these devices and offering services on top of them is the federation of the Internet of Things and cloud computing. However, user acceptance of such systems is a critical factor that hinders the adoption of this promising approach due to severe privacy concerns. We present UPECSI, an approach for user-driven privacy enforcement for cloud-based services in the Internet of Things to address this critical factor. UPECSI enables enforcement of all privacy requirements of the user once her sensitive data leaves the border of her network, provides a novel approach for the integration of privacy functionality into the development process of cloud-based services, and offers the user an adaptable and transparent configuration of her privacy requirements. Hence, UPECSI demonstrates an approach for realizing user-accepted cloud services in the Internet of Things.

description: We give an algorithm to construct a translation-invariant transport kernel between ergodic stationary random measures $Φ$ and $Ψ$ on $\mathbb R^d$, given that they have equal intensities. As a result, this yields a construction of a shift-coupling of an ergodic stationary random measure and its Palm version. This algorithm constructs the transport kernel in a deterministic manner given realizations $φ$ and $ψ$ of the measures. The (non-constructive) existence of such a transport kernel was proved in [8]. Our algorithm is a generalization of the work of [3], in which a construction is provided for the Lebesgue measure and an ergodic simple point process. In the general case, we limit ourselves to what we call constrained densities and transport kernels. We give a definition of stability of constrained densities and introduce our construction algorithm inspired by the Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm. For stable constrained densities, we study existence, uniqueness, monotonicity w.r.t. the measures and boundedness.

The results in this article are based on a longitudinal study of a single subject. The empirical base is a protocol of the subject as he solved this problem until he mastered the most sophisticated strategy. Based on an analysis of the protocol, we have identified four different strategies that were used by the subject to solve the given set of problems. These strategies vary in their efficiency of diagnosis and in their modes of reasoniing. We also identify the different operators that were used by the subject to transform one strategy into a more efficient one. The learning process has been implemented as a computer simulation. Finally, we discuss the hypotheses that are suggested by this experiment and the implications of our observations."

description: Using spectroscopically selected galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we present a detection of reddening due to dust in the circumgalactic medium of galaxies. We detect the mean change in the colors of "standard crayons" correlated with the presence of foreground galaxies at z ~0.05 as a function of angular separation. Following Peek & Graves (2010), we create standard crayons using passively evolving galaxies corrected for Milky Way reddening and color-redshift trends, leading to a sample with as little as 2% scatter in color. We devise methods to ameliorate possible systematic effects related to the estimation of colors, and we find an excess reddening induced by foreground galaxies at a level ranging from 10 to 0.5 millimagnitudes on scales ranging from 30 kpc to 1 Mpc. We attribute this effect to a large-scale distribution of dust around galaxies similar to the findings of Menard et al. 2010. We find that circumgalactic reddening is a weak function of stellar mass over the range $6 \times 10^9 M_\odot$ -- $6 \times 10^{10} M_\odot$ and note that this behavior appears to be consistent with recent results on the distribution of metals in the gas phase.

description: The problem with integration is a twofold one, a socio-theoretical and a methodological one. Socio-theoretically, the concept of integration is forced upon a heterogeneous and disintegrated society. Methodologically, by deploying the concept of integration within social sciences reifying ramifications are established. This article proposes a theoretical sketch for an alternative route for researching migration and integration, which escapes both shortcomings by modifying its theoretical presumptions on the one hand and extracting its reifying connotations on the other hand. The alternative research model, the life situation model (LSM), proposes a mixed methods approach, seeking generality of application and symmetry of approach.
Complete analytic solution to Brownian unicycle dynamics

description: This paper derives a complete analytical solution for the probability distribution of the configuration of a non-holonomic vehicle that moves in two spatial dimensions by satisfying the unicycle kinematic constraints and in presence of Brownian noises. In contrast to previous solutions, the one here derived holds even in the case of arbitrary linear and angular speed. This solution is obtained by deriving the analytical expression of any-order moment of the probability distribution. To the best of our knowledge, an analytical expression for any-order moment that holds even in the case of arbitrary linear and angular speed, has never been derived before. To compute these moments, a direct integration of the Langevin equation is carried out and each moment is expressed as a multiple integral of the deterministic motion (i.e., the known motion that would result in absence of noise). For the special case when the ratio between the linear and angular speed is constant, the multiple integrals can be easily solved and expressed as the real or the imaginary part of suitable analytic functions. As an application of the derived analytical results, the paper investigates the diffusivity of the considered Brownian motion for constant and for arbitrary time-dependent linear and angular speed.

The Goldstone Equivalence Theorem and AdS/CFT

description: The Goldstone equivalence theorem allows one to relate scattering amplitudes of massive gauge fields to those of scalar fields in the limit of large scattering energies. We generalize this theorem under the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence. First, we obtain an expression of the equivalence theorem in terms of correlation functions of creation and annihilation operators by using an AdS wave function approach to the AdS/CFT dictionary. It is shown that the divergence of the non-conserved conformal current dual to the bulk gauge field is approximately primary when computing correlators for theories in which the masses of all the exchanged particles are sufficiently large. The results are then generalized to higher spin fields. We then go on to generalize the theorem using conformal blocks in two and four-dimensional CFTs. We show that when the scaling dimensions of the exchanged operators are large compared to both their spins and the dimension of the current, the conformal blocks satisfy an equivalence theorem.

description: Tracking the kinematics of fast-moving objects is an important diagnostic tool for science and engineering. Existing optical methods include high-speed CCD/CMOS imaging, streak cameras, lidar, serial time-encoded imaging and sequentially timed all-optical mapping. Here, we demonstrate an entirely new approach to positional and directional sensing based on the concept of classical entanglement in vector beams of light. The measurement principle relies on the intrinsic correlations existing in such beams between transverse spatial modes and polarization. The latter can be determined from intensity measurements with only a few fast photodiodes, greatly outperforming the bandwidth of current CCD/CMOS devices. In this way, our setup enables two-dimensional real-time sensing with temporal resolution in the GHz range. We expect the concept to open up new directions in photonics-based metrology and sensing.

description: Robust detection of vulnerable road users is a safety critical requirement for the deployment of autonomous vehicles in heterogeneous traffic. One of the most complex outstanding challenges is that of partial occlusion where a target object is only partially available to the sensor due to obstruction by another foreground object. A number of leading pedestrian detection benchmarks provide annotation for partial occlusion, however each benchmark varies greatly in their definition of the occurrence and severity of occlusion. Recent research demonstrates that a high degree of subjectivity is used to classify occlusion level in these cases and occlusion is typically categorized into 2 to 3 broad categories such as partially and heavily occluded. This can lead to inaccurate or inconsistent reporting of pedestrian detection model performance depending on which benchmark is used. This research introduces a novel, objective benchmark for partially occluded pedestrian detection to facilitate the objective characterization of pedestrian detection models. Characterization is carried out on seven popular pedestrian detection models for a range of occlusion levels from 0-99%, in order to demonstrate the efficacy and increased analysis capabilities of the proposed characterization method. Results demonstrate that pedestrian detection performance degrades, and the number of false negative detections increase as pedestrian occlusion level increases. Of the seven popular pedestrian detection routines characterized, CenterNet has the greatest overall performance, followed by SSDlite. RetinaNet has the lowest overall detection performance across the range of occlusion levels.

description: Abstract: "Engineering design research has historically been evaluated in terms of its computational performance. However, in many cases this research implies hypotheses about human behavior which are ignored. In this paper, we argue that the systems emerging from design research will benefit from investigating how people use them to accomplish work, and from the incorporation of principles of Participatory Design (Floyd, et al. 1989) at the earliest stages of the development process. Using a case study, we present the evolution of a CAD system that supports complex mathematical modeling. This design effort is examined according to principles outlined in another well-documented effort in Participatory Design.Finally, despite the common misconception that such considerations impede basic research, we argue that continuous user involvement can guide research by validating experimental hypotheses and pointing to areas for future inquiry."
L’utopia lucreziana nell’Autre monde di Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac
Creators: name: Schiano, Claudio
Publisher: name: FuturoClassico FCl
Year: 2023
Subjects: Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac; Lucretius; Pierre Gassendi; Atomistic Materialism; Utopianism; Libertinism.

description: The article addresses a question that scholars have been asking for a long time about Cyrano de Bergerac’s “sci-fi” novels, namely whether the critical category of utopia is pertinent. Beyond the phantasmagorical inventions both in narrative situations and in language, an affirmative answer may be given if the deep meaning of the novels is brought back to the constantly underlying Lucretian model (both direct and mediated by Gassendi’s teaching). Such philosophical model operates not only with regards to physics and gnoseology, as it is already ascertained, but also to ethics and politics. Understanding the novels, and the rest of Cyrano’s production, through the Lucretian lens also allows us to define his criticism of political institutions within more precise boundaries.

description: Pre-mRNA splicing relies on the poorly understood dynamic interplay between >150 protein components of the spliceosome. The steps at which splicing can be regulated remain largely unknown. We systematically analyzed the effect of knocking down the components of the splicing machinery on alternative splicing events relevant for cell proliferation and apoptosis and used this information to reconstruct a network of functional interactions. The network accurately captures known physical and functional associations and identifies new ones, revealing remarkable regulatory potential of core spliceosomal components, related to the order and duration of their recruitment during spliceosome assembly. In contrast with standard models of regulation at early steps of splice site recognition, factors involved in catalytic activation of the spliceosome display regulatory properties. The network also sheds light on the antagonism between hnRNP C and U2AF, and on targets of antitumor drugs, and can be widely used to identify mechanisms of splicing regulation.
