description: Facial recognition is a key enabling component for emerging Internet of Things (IoT) services such as smart homes or responsive offices. Through the use of deep neural networks, facial recognition has achieved excellent performance. However, this is only possibly when trained with hundreds of images of each user in different viewing and lighting conditions. Clearly, this level of effort in enrolment and labelling is impossible for wide-spread deployment and adoption. Inspired by the fact that most people carry smart wireless devices with them, e.g. smartphones, we propose to use this wireless identifier as a supervisory label. This allows us to curate a dataset of facial images that are unique to a certain domain e.g. a set of people in a particular office. This custom corpus can then be used to finetune existing pre-trained models e.g. FaceNet. However, due to the vagaries of wireless propagation in buildings, the supervisory labels are noisy and weak.We propose a novel technique, AutoTune, which learns and refines the association between a face and wireless identifier over time, by increasing the inter-cluster separation and minimizing the intra-cluster distance. Through extensive experiments with multiple users on two sites, we demonstrate the ability of AutoTune to design an environment-specific, continually evolving facial recognition system with entirely no user effort.

description: I conjecture that gravitational waves induce variations in the optical dielectric permittivity and the magnetic permeability tensors of vacuum. The metric of space remains unchanged. Based on this conjecture the functioning of the Michelson interferometric gravitational wave detector is explained without assuming any stretching and shrinking of the interferometer arms in the rhythm of the
gravitational wave. 
A single-arm optical difference-interferometer is proposed wich senses the gravitational-wave-induced birefringence of vacuum and thus detects gravitational waves. It is equal in sensitivity to a Michelson with the same arm lengths. Its advantageous features are:
• only one arm required,
• less noise from mirror displacements and from fluctuations of gas density in the optical path.
A double-difference-interferometer laid out like a Michelson is proposed which permits to determine information about the angular position of the gravitational-wave source in the sky.

description: We present some observations on the block triangular form (btf) of symmetric, structurally rank deficient, square, sparse matrices. As the matrix is square and structurally rank deficient, its canonical btf has at least one underdetermined and one overdetermined block. We prove that the square block of the canonical btf, if present, has a special fine structure. These findings help us recover symmetry around the anti-diagonal in the block traingular matrix. We also visit the full rank symmetric case.

description: We study the classical decay of unstable scalar solitons in noncommutative field theory in 2+1 dimensions. This can, but does not have to, be viewed as a toy model for the decay of D-branes in string theory. In the limit that the noncommutativity parameter θis infinite, the gradient term is absent, there are no propagating modes and the soliton does not decay at all. If θis large, but finite, the rotationally symmetric decay channel can be described as a highly excited nonlinear oscillator weakly coupled to a continuum of linear modes. This system is closely akin to those studied in the context of discrete breathers. We here diagonalize the linear problem and compute the decay rate to first order using a version of Fermi's Golden Rule, leaving a more rigorous treatment for future work.

description: Abstract: Background: Despite the current therapeutic options for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, surgery is still frequently required in the emergency setting, although the number of cases performed seems to have decreased in recent years. The World Society of Emergency Surgery decided to debate in a consensus conference of experts, the main pertinent issues around the management of inflammatory bowel disease in the emergent situation, with the need to provide focused guidelines for acute care and emergency surgeons. Method: A group of experienced surgeons and gastroenterologists were nominated to develop the topics assigned and answer the questions addressed by the Steering Committee of the project. Each expert followed a precise analysis and grading of the studies selected for review. Statements and recommendations were discussed and voted at the Consensus Conference of the 6th World Society of Emergency Surgery held in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in June 2019. Conclusions: Complicated inflammatory bowel disease requires a multidisciplinary approach because of the complexity of this patient group and disease spectrum in the emergency setting, with the aim of obtaining safe surgery with good functional outcomes and a decreasing stoma rate where appropriate.

description: The high prevalence of risks in low income economies makes managing uncertainty critical for productivity and survival. This paper analyzes seasonal changes in farm households’ per capita consumption and saving in response to weather and health shocks. Using a sample of 196 households in central Kenya, it tests the notion that people save most of their transitory income, and examines their precautionary saving motives. The results show that the propensity to save out of transitory income is about a fifth of what the permanent income hypothesis postulates. The propensity to save differs by wealth, with the poor exhibiting stronger precautionary motives towards rainfall variability. But the wealth effect is weak, suggesting that the asset base is vulnerable even for the better-off. However, precautionary savings tend to increase with wealth among HIV/AIDS affected households. Since illness is associated with higher consumption, and therefore less investment, we find more volatile consumption for HIV/AIDS affected households.
Compositional Reasoning for Side-effectful Iterators and Iterator Adapters

description: Iteration is a programming operation that traditionally refers to visiting the elements of a data structure in sequence. However, modern programming systems such as Rust, Java, and C# generalise iteration far beyond the traditional use case. They allow iterators to be parameterised with (potentially side-effectful) closures and support the composition of iterators to form iterator chains, where each iterator in the chain consumes values from its predecessor and produces values for its successor. Such generalisations pose three major challenges for modular specification and verification of iterators and the client code using them: (1) How can parameterised iterators be specified modularly and their (accumulated) side effects reasoned about? (2) How can the behaviour of an iterator chain be derived from the specifications of its component iterators? (3) How can proofs about such iterators be automated? We present the first methodology for the modular specification and verification of advanced iteration idioms with side-effectful computations. It addresses the three challenges above using a combination of inductive two-state invariants, higher-order closure contracts, and separation logiclike ownership. We implement and our methodology in a state-of-the-art SMT-based Rust verifier. Our evaluation shows that our methodology is sufficiently expressive to handle advanced and idiomatic iteration idioms and requires modest annotation overhead.

description: First the "frame problem" is sketched: the motion of an isolated particle obeys a simple law in galilean frames, but how does the galilean character of the frame manifest itself at the place of the particle? A description of vacuum as a system of virtual particles will help to answer this question. For future application to such a description, the notion of global particle is defined and studied. To this end, a systematic use of the Fourier transformation on the Poincare group is needed. The state of a system of n free particles is represented by a statistical operator W, which defines an operator-valued measure on the n-th power of the dual of the Poincare group. The inverse Fourier-Stieltjes transform of that measure is called the characteristic function of the system; it is a function on the n-th power of the Poincare group. The main notion is that of global characteristic function: it is the restriction of the characteristic function to the diagonal subgroup ; it represents the state of the system, considered as a single particle. The main properties of characteristic functions, and particularly of global characteristic functions, are studied. A mathematical Appendix defines two functional spaces involved.

description: A procedure for constructing a digital elevation model (DEM) of the northern part of the Volga-Akhtuba interfluve is described. The basis of our DEM is the elevation matrix of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) for which we carried out the refinement and updating of spatial data using satellite imagery, GPS data, depth measurements of the River Volga and River Akhtuba stream beds. The most important source of high-altitude data for the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain (VAF) can be the results of observations of the coastlines dynamics of small reservoirs (lakes, eriks, small channels) arising in the process of spring flooding and disappearing during low-flow periods. A set of digitized coastlines at different times of flooding can significantly improve the quality of the DEM. The method of constructing a digital elevation model includes an iterative procedure that uses the results of morphostructural analysis of the DEM and the numerical hydrodynamic simulations of the VAF flooding based on the shallow water model.

description: Indication of geographic origin is a specific intellectual property (IP). Specificity of that IP is mirrored to its legal protection. The IP legal protection of indications of geographic origin is, at the one side, wider than of the other intellectual properties because IP legal protection of registered indication of geographic indication is essentially featured by certain public law element. But at the other side, it is notably narrower because more than one legal entity can be authorised for commercial use of the same indication of geographic origin. Furthermore, an authorised user can not obtain a right in the application nor assign registered indication of geographic origin, since these are not a subject of commerce that is one of the most important powers comprised in all others intellectual property rights, except in collective trademarks and certification marks rights. Authors in this paper deal with legal aspects of indication of geographic origin use.

description: Abstract: The collection of fecal material and developments in sequencing technologies have enabled standardised and non-invasive gut microbiome profiling. Microbiome composition from several large cohorts have been cross-sectionally linked to various lifestyle factors and diseases. In spite of these advances, prospective associations between microbiome composition and health have remained uncharacterised due to the lack of sufficiently large and representative population cohorts with comprehensive follow-up data. Here, we analyse the long-term association between gut microbiome variation and mortality in a well-phenotyped and representative population cohort from Finland (n = 7211). We report robust taxonomic and functional microbiome signatures related to the Enterobacteriaceae family that are associated with mortality risk during a 15-year follow-up. Our results extend previous cross-sectional studies, and help to establish the basis for examining long-term associations between human gut microbiome composition, incident outcomes, and general health status.

description: Raising people's awareness about taking care of their health and development of the food industry, medicine, and those branches of science that deal with the relationship between nutrition and health has led to the popularization of the foods for which special health effects are proven. Functional foods are foods whose longer consumption can have preventive or therapeutic effects on different aspects of human health. It can be conventional with bioactive components, or “strengthened” so the risk of certain illness can be reduced. Despite increasing number of researches about functional food, there is a lack of information about psychosocial factors which influence on consumers’ attitudes regarding functional food. Most research related to functional food is concentrated on its possible health effects, while relatively little is known about consumers' reaction to it. The aim of this work is to assess interest of consumers for buying functional food, according to obtained consumers’ attitudes. The survey has been conducted in area of Vojvodina, in cities such as Novi Sad, Subotica, Zrenjanin, Vršac, Ruma and Inđija, in the period from August 15th till September 10th, 2012. The example included 400 respondents, who were questioned with previously prepared questionnaires, mainly in supermarkets, where consumers can buy functional foods. Obtained results were analyzed in program package software SPSS 19 with use of descriptive statistics. According to the obtain results, it can be concluded that is necessary to further inform consumers about functional food and its benefits in regard to conventional food. Also, it is necessary to define market of functional food in Serbia, adopt certain regulations which can be helpful for increasing of consumers’ confidence about functional food and make larger consumption of this kind of food, which can result in better health condition of the nation.

description: M(atrix) theory in PP-wave background possesses a discrete set of classical vacua, all of which preserves 16 supersymmetry and interpretable as collection of giant gravitons. We find Euclidean instanton solutions that interpolate between them, and analyze their properties. Supersymmetry prevents direct mixing between different vacua but still allows effect of instanton to show up in higher order effective interactions, such as analog of v^4 interaction of flat space effective theory. An explicit construction of zero modes is performed, and Goldstone zero modes, bosonic and fermionic, are identified. We further generalize this to massive M(atrix) theory that includes fundamental hypermultiplets, corresponding to insertion of longitudinal fivebranes in the background. After a brief comparison to their counterpart in AdS\times S, we close with a summary.

description: Predicting the next visited location of an individual is a key problem in human mobility analysis, as it is required for the personalization and optimization of sustainable transport options. Here, we propose a transformer decoder-based neural network to predict the next location an individual will visit based on historical locations, time, and travel modes, which are behaviour dimensions often overlooked in previous work. In particular, the prediction of the next travel mode is designed as an auxiliary task to help guide the network's learning. For evaluation, we apply this approach to two large-scale and long-term GPS tracking datasets involving more than 600 individuals. Our experiments show that the proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art next location prediction methods by a large margin (8.05% and 5.60% relative increase in F1-score for the two datasets, respectively). We conduct an extensive ablation study that quantifies the influence of considering temporal features, travel mode information, and the auxiliary task on the prediction results. Moreover, we experimentally determine the performance upper bound when including the next mode prediction in our model. Finally, our analysis indicates that the performance of location prediction varies significantly with the chosen next travel mode by the individual. These results show potential for a more systematic consideration of additional dimensions of travel behaviour in human mobility prediction tasks. The source code of our model and experiments is available at https://github.com/mie-lab/location-mode-prediction.

The experimental length spectrum exhibits contributions from periodic orbits of non-generic modes and from unstable periodic orbit of the underlying classical system. It is well reproduced by our theoretical calculations based on the trace formula derived by Balian and Duplantier for chaotic electromagnetic cavities.

description: We present a novel data-driven distributionally robust Model Predictive Control formulation for unknown discrete-time linear time-invariant systems affected by unknown and possibly unbounded additive uncertainties. We use off-line collected data and an approximate model of the dynamics to formulate a finite-horizon optimization problem. To account for both the uncertainty related to the dynamics and the disturbance acting on the system, we resort to a distributionally robust formulation that optimizes the cost expectation while satisfying Conditional Value-at-Risk constraints with respect to the worst-case probability distributions of the uncertainties within an ambiguity set defined using the Wasserstein metric. Using results from the distributionally robust optimization literature we derive a tractable finite-dimensional convex optimization problem with finite-sample guarantees for the class of convex piecewise affine cost and constraint functions. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated in closed-loop simulation on a simple numerical example.

description: We consider the anisotropic three dimensional XXZ Heisenberg ferromagnet in a cylinder with axis along the 111 direction and boundary conditions that induce ground states describing an interface orthogonal to the cylinder axis. Let $L$ be the linear size of the basis of the cylinder. Because of the breaking of the continuous symmetry around the $\hat z$ axis, the Goldstone theorem implies that the spectral gap above such ground states must tend to zero as $L\to \infty$. In \cite{BCNS} it was proved that, by perturbing in a sub--cylinder with basis of linear size $R\ll L$ the interface ground state, it is possible to construct excited states whose energy gap shrinks as $R^{-2}$. Here we prove that, uniformly in the height of the cylinder and in the location of the interface, the energy gap above the interface ground state is bounded from below by $\text{const.}L^{-2}$. We prove the result by first mapping the problem into an asymmetric simple exclusion process on $\Z^3$ and then by adapting to the latter the recursive analysis to estimate from below the spectral gap of the associated Markov generator developed in \cite{CancMart}. Along the way we improve some bounds on the equivalence of ensembles already discussed in \cite{BCNS} and we establish an upper bound on the density of states close to the bottom of the spectrum.

description: We present a detailed analysis of HARPS-N radial velocity observations of K2-100, a young and active star in the Praesepe cluster, which hosts a transiting planet with a period of 1.7 days. We model the activity-induced radial velocity variations of the host star with a multi-dimensional Gaussian Process framework and detect a planetary signal of $10.6 \pm 3.0 {\rm m\,s^{-1}}$, which matches the transit ephemeris, and translates to a planet mass of $21.8 \pm 6.2 M_\oplus$. We perform a suite of validation tests to confirm that our detected signal is genuine. This is the first mass measurement for a transiting planet in a young open cluster. The relatively low density of the planet, $2.04^{+0.66}_{-0.61} {\rm g\,cm^{-3}}$, implies that K2-100b retains a significant volatile envelope. We estimate that the planet is losing its atmosphere at a rate of $10^{11}-10^{12}\,{\rm g\,s^{-1}}$ due to the high level of radiation it receives from its host star.

description: We give a comprehensive characterization of the computational power of shallow quantum circuits combined with classical computation. Specifically, for classes of search problems, we show that the following statements hold, relative to a random oracle: (a) $\mathsf{BPP}^{\mathsf{QNC}^{\mathsf{BPP}}} \neq \mathsf{BQP}$. This refutes Jozsa's conjecture [QIP 05] in the random oracle model. As a result, this gives the first instantiatable separation between the classes by replacing the oracle with a cryptographic hash function, yielding a resolution to one of Aaronson's ten semi-grand challenges in quantum computing. (b) $\mathsf{BPP}^{\mathsf{QNC}} \nsubseteq \mathsf{QNC}^{\mathsf{BPP}}$ and $\mathsf{QNC}^{\mathsf{BPP}} \nsubseteq \mathsf{BPP}^{\mathsf{QNC}}$. This shows that there is a subtle interplay between classical computation and shallow quantum computation. In fact, for the second separation, we establish that, for some problems, the ability to perform adaptive measurements in a single shallow quantum circuit, is more useful than the ability to perform polynomially many shallow quantum circuits without adaptive measurements. (c) There exists a 2-message proof of quantum depth protocol. Such a protocol allows a classical verifier to efficiently certify that a prover must be performing a computation of some minimum quantum depth. Our proof of quantum depth can be instantiated using the recent proof of quantumness construction by Yamakawa and Zhandry [STOC 22].

description: We study the classical stability of a class of S-brane geometries having cosmological horizons. By considering the perturbations of the metric in these geometries we establish that their horizons are unstable in the sense that an observer trying to cross the horizon experiences an infinite flux of radiation at the instant of crossing. The backreaction of this radiation is likely to convert the horizons into curvature singularities, similar to the instability of the internal Cauchy horizon of the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. We also compute the particle production by the time-dependent fields in the future regions of these geometries, and find that the spectrum of produced particles is thermal, with temperature coinciding with the Hawking temperature computed by euclideanizing the metric in the static region. Possible implications of these results are discussed.

description: We investigate explicit functions that can produce truly random numbers. We use the analytical properties of the explicit functions to show that certain class of autonomous dynamical systems can generate random dynamics. This dynamics presents fundamental differences with the known chaotic systems. We present realphysical systems that can produce this kind of random time-series. We report theresults of real experiments with nonlinear circuits containing direct evidence for this new phenomenon. In particular, we show that a Josephson junction coupled to a chaotic circuit can generate unpredictable dynamics. Some applications are discussed.

description: Video applications and analytics are routinely projected as a stressing and significant service of the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network. As part of a NIST PSCR funded effort, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness and MIT Lincoln Laboratory have been developing a computer vision dataset of operational and representative public safety scenarios. The scale and scope of this dataset necessitates a hierarchical organization approach for efficient compute and storage. We overview architectural considerations using the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Cluster as a test architecture. We then describe how we intelligently organized the dataset across LLSC and evaluated it with large scale imagery inference across terabytes of data.

description: Xylem-sap feeding leafhoppers, known as sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) and spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea) are vectors of Xylella fastidiosa, which causes diseases in various crops. Here we studied the seasonal fluctuation of predominant species of sharpshooters and spittlebugs in olive orchards in four locations in the States of São Paulo (Cabreúva and São Bento do Sapucaí) and Minas Gerais (Maria da Fé and Wenceslau Braz), Brazil, where X. fastidiosa is associated with olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS). The insects were trapped by yellow sticky cards (10x30 cm) hanged at 0.8 m above ground in external branches of nine olive trees (spaced 30 m apart) per orchard. Traps were replaced every two weeks from June 2015 to June 2020 and taken to the laboratory for species identification and quantification under a dissecting microscope. Most sharpshooter and spittlebug species showed peaks in population density during months of higher mean temperature and relative humidity (September-February), except for the spittlebug Clastoptera sp.1, whose adult population peaked from February to April (late summer and early autumn). The highest population peaks (4-6 insects/trap/period) were observed for Clastoptera sp.1 and the sharpshooters Macugonalia cavifrons and Scopogonalia paula in S. Bento do Sapucaí, and for the spittlebug Sphenorhina rubra and the sharpshooter Erythrogonia phoenicia in Maria da Fé. Population peaks of S. paula and M. cavifrons were lower (2-3 insects/trap) and less frequent in Wenceslau Braz, which is located at the highest elevation (1750 m). Late summer and autumn (March-June) peaks (1-2 insects/trap) were observed for the most frequent sharpshooter (Dilobopterus costalimai) in Cabreúva, at the lowest elevation (890 m) tested; in this particular location, a single peak (2.5 insects/trap) of the spittlebug Deois flavopicta was observed in January/2017. The results suggest that spring, summer and early autumn are periods of higher risk of X. fastidiosa spread by vectors in the region.
