description: We report on calculations of the formation energies of several [100] and [110] oriented step structures on biaxially stressed Si and Ge (001) surfaces. It is shown that a novel rebonded [100] oriented single-height step is strongly stabilized by compressive strain compared to most well-known step structures. We propose that the side walls of ``hut''-shaped quantum dots observed in recent experiments on SiGe/Si films are made up of these steps. Our calculations provide an explanation for the nucleationless growth of shallow mounds, with steps along the [100] and [110] directions in low- and high-misfit films, respectively, and for the stability of the (105) facets under compressive strain.

Coordination of Decisions in a Spatial Agent Model

description: For a binary choice problem, the spatial coordination of decisions in an agent community is investigated both analytically and by means of stochastic computer simulations. The individual decisions are based on different local information generated by the agents with a finite lifetime and disseminated in the system with a finite velocity. We derive critical parameters for the emergence of minorities and majorities of agents making opposite decisions and investigate their spatial organization. We find that dependent on two essential parameters describing the local impact and the spatial dissemination of information, either a definite stable minority/majority relation (single-attractor regime) or a broad range of possible values (multi-attractor regime) occurs. In the latter case, the outcome of the decision process becomes rather diverse and hard to predict, both with respect to the share of the majority and their spatial distribution. We further investigate how a dissemination of information on different time scales affects the outcome of the decision process. We find that a more ``efficient'' information exchange within a subpopulation provides a suitable way to stabilize their majority status and to reduce ``diversity'' and uncertainty in the decision process.

description: We present a spectroscopic study of the long-recurrence-time dwarf nova V592 Herculis based on observations obtained during its August 1998 superoutburst. From the analysis of the radial velocities of the Halpha emission line we find a most likely orbital period of 85.5 +- 0.4 minutes, but the 91.2 +- 0.6 minutes alias cannot be completely discarded. Both periods imply a very small period excess and supports the brown-dwarf like nature of the secondary star.

Online route choice modeling for Mobility-as-a-Service networks with non-separable, congestible link capacity effects

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computers and Society (cs.CY)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: With the prevalence of MaaS systems, route choice models need to consider characteristics unique to them. MaaS systems tend to involve service systems with fleets of vehicles; as a result, the available service capacity depends on the choices of other travelers in different parts of the system. We model this with a new concept of "congestible capacity"; that is, link capacities are a function of flow instead of link costs. This dependency is also non-separable; the capacity in one link can depend on flows from multiple links. An offline-online estimation method is introduced to capture the structural effects that flows have on capacities and the resulting impacts on route choice utilities. The method is first applied to obtain unique congestible capacity shadow prices in a multimodal network to verify the capability to capture congestion effects on capacities. The capacities are shown to vary and impact the utility of a route. The method is validated using real system data from Citi Bike in New York City. The results show that the model can fit to the data quite well and performs better than a baseline modeling approach that ignores congestible capacity effects. By relating the route choice to congestible capacities using a random utility model, modelers can monitor and quantify the impacts to traveler consumer surplus in real time. Applications of the model and online method include monitoring capacity effects on consumer surplus, using the model to direct incentives programs for rebalancing and other revenue management strategies, and to guide resource allocation to mitigate consumer surplus impacts due to disruptions from incidents.

description: We study a two-electron quantum dot molecule in a magnetic field by the direct diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix. The ground states of the molecule with the total spin S=0 and S=1 provide a possible realization for a qubit of a quantum computer. Switching between the states is best achieved by changing the magnetic field. Based on an analysis of the wave function, we show that the system consists of composite particles formed by an electron and flux quanta attached to it. This picture can also be used to explain the spin phase diagram.

description: Let $\mathsf{u}_q(\mathfrak{g})$ be the small quantum group associated with a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a primitive root of unity q, satisfying certain restrictions. We establish the equivalence between three different actions of $\mathfrak{g}$ on the center of $\mathsf{u}_q(\mathfrak{g})$ and on the higher derived center of $\mathsf{u}_q(\mathfrak{g})$. Based on the triviality of this action for $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{sl}_2, \mathfrak{sl}_3, \mathfrak{sl}_4$, we conjecture that, in finite type A, central elements of the small quantum group $\mathsf{u}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$ arise as the restriction of central elements in the big quantum group $\mathsf{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$. We also study the role of an ideal $\mathsf{z}_{\mathrm{Hig}}$ known as the Higman ideal in the center of $\mathsf{u}_q(\mathfrak{g})$. We show that it coincides with the intersection of the Harish-Chandra center and its Fourier transform, and compute the dimension of $\mathsf{z}_{\mathrm{Hig}}$ in type A. As an illustration we provide a detailed explicit description of the derived center of $\mathsf{u}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ and its various symmetries.

description: A lattice spin-fermion model for diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is investigated numerically, improving on previously used mean-field (MF) approximations. Curie temperatures are obtained varying the Mn-spin x and hole n densities, and the impurity-hole exchange J in units of the hopping amplitude t. Optimal values are found in the subtle intermediate regime between itinerant and localized carriers. Our main result is the behavior of the Curie temperature at large J/t, where a "clustered" state is observed and ferromagnetism is suppressed. Formal analogies between DMS and manganites are also discussed.

description: Rural areas are now making an economic comeback after the soaring unemployment rates and stagnant job growth of the early 1980's. Annual average unemployment levels in nonmetro areas have consistently declined since 1985, and in 1988, for the first time, nonmetro employment growth began to exceed that of metro areas. However, improvements in the economy have not occurred equally across all nonmetro areas. Unemployment in some rural counties has risen since the early 1980’s, and many nonmetro areas continue to experience relatively high levels.

description: We consider the problem of high-dimensional light field reconstruction and develop a learning-based framework for spatial and angular super-resolution. Many current approaches either require disparity clues or restore the spatial and angular details separately. Such methods have difficulties with non-Lambertian surfaces or occlusions. In contrast, we formulate light field super-resolution (LFSR) as tensor restoration and develop a learning framework based on a two-stage restoration with 4-dimensional (4D) convolution. This allows our model to learn the features capturing the geometry information encoded in multiple adjacent views. Such geometric features vary near the occlusion regions and indicate the foreground object border. To train a feasible network, we propose a novel normalization operation based on a group of views in the feature maps, design a stage-wise loss function, and develop the multi-range training strategy to further improve the performance. Evaluations are conducted on a number of light field datasets including real-world scenes, synthetic data, and microscope light fields. The proposed method achieves superior performance and less execution time comparing with other state-of-the-art schemes.

description: Most transportation textbooks and articles on inland waterway navigation assume a perfectly competitive Mississippi River system barge industry. One study found the 1972 and 1977 grain barge industry to be oligopolistic. A second study of the U.S. barge industry found “intra industry competition for the barge industry on a day-to-day basis with easy entry and exit.” Using the concentration ratio and the Herfindahl Index, this study found the Mississippi River barge industry to be oligopolistic. These results suggest that Mississippi River navigation infrastructure studies should not use long run marginal barge costs as a proxy for barge rates.

For the case of exact and non-deterministic protocols we show that these complexities are all equal to n+1, the previous best lower bound being n/2. We show this by improving a general bound for non-deterministic protocols of de Wolf. We also give an O(sqrt{n}c^{log^* n})-qubit bounded-error protocol for disjointness, modifying and improving the earlier O(sqrt{n}log n) protocol of Buhrman, Cleve, and Wigderson, and prove an Omega(sqrt{n}) lower bound for a large class of protocols that includes the BCW-protocol as well as our new protocol.

(Photo 5,9)
 Material examined. Holotype ♂: New Caledonia, S-Prov. / Monts Koghis, forest litter / ca. 5km N Nouméa 550m / 25 XI 2009 Schuh (11A) // Holotype ♂ / Kanakaptera n.gen. / heimiana n. sp. / des. E. HEISS 2010.
 Diagnosis. This species is smaller than laticeps n. sp. and montdoa n. sp., but shares characters of both. It is distinguished from laticeps n. sp. by a different outline of postocular lobes resembling those of montdoa n. sp., by the midline of thoracic sclerites lacking the longitudinal sulcus present in both other species; from montdoa n. sp. it differs by the short and incomplete transverse sulci separating the fused metanotum – mtgI – mtgII, by the less transverse pronotum, and the smooth surface of deltg VI and VII.
 Description. Male, apterous, colouration as other species, however with a reddish-brown tinge.
 Head: Wider than long (28/20); width of head 1.07x wider than length of antennae; structure of antenniferous lobes and antennae as in laticeps n. sp.; length of antennal segments I/II/III/IV = 8.5/5/6/6.5; postocular lobes with smaller tooth not exceeding outer margin of eyes, then nearly straight and converging toward collar, there separated by a distinct notch.
 Pronotum: About 3.7x as wide as long (41/11); anterolateral projections large and wide; disk medially with a flat T-shaped sclerite without a median sulcus, anterior and lateral margins before anterolateral expansions carinate.
 Mesonotum: Surface structure as in montdoa n. sp.; however, median sclerite lacks the longitudinal sulcus, is slightly raised, and shows a short carina on posterior 1/3.
 Metanotum: Fused to mtgI and mtgII but transverse fusion sutures short and incomplete; disk medially raised forming a thin carina along midline, this highest posteriorly, mtg I sloping posteriorly toward mtgII, this medially depressed.
 Abdomen: Outline, structure and sutures on tergal plate and deltg I–VII as in laticeps n. sp.
 Measurements. Holotype ♂: Length 4.9mm; length / width of mesonotum 10/37; width of abdomen across tergite III 57.
 Etymology. Patronym dedicated to Stefan Heim (Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinadeum) who produced the excellent digital photos for this and other papers.
 Discussion. Although the description is based only on the male holotype heimiana n. sp., it is considered a new taxon because of a combination of structures not shared by other species. As frequently observed in tropical forest areas, apterous taxa show endemism and different species occur in the same or adjacent habitats.

description: At short time scales the inertia term becomes relevant for the magnetization dynamics of ferromagnets and leads to nutation for the magnetization vector. For the case of spatially extended magnetic systems, for instance Heisenberg spin chains with isotropic spin-exchange interaction, this leads to the appearance of a novel collective excitation, the "nutation wave", whose properties are elucidated by analytic arguments and numerical studies. The one--particle excitations can be identified as relativistic massive particles. These particles, the "nutatons", acquire their mass via the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, through the interaction of the wave with an emergent topological gauge field. This spin excitation would appear as a peak in the spectrum of the scattering structure factor in inelastic neutron scattering experiments. The high frequency and speed of the nutation wave can open new paths for realizing ultrafast spin dynamics.

description: In this paper, an empirical framework is developed using economic theories to examine the relation-ships between variable costs and levels of activities at the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) en route centers. Using data for three fiscal years and employing time-series pooled cross section econometrics, we have found that the Air Traffic Organization’s (ATO) service provisions in the en route centers have some economies of scale. Furthermore, we have found that while controllers’ wage is important, it is not statistically significant in unit cost measured in aircraft flight operation counts. However, it is statistically significant when unit variable cost is measured and estimated in terms of aircraft flight operation hours. We have also found that degree of complexity, a measure of service attributes, does not impact cost. These findings, combined with on-going policy discussion on users’ fees, imply that ATO may be well positioned to implement average cost pricing if cost is to be fully recovered for en route services. The implementation of marginal cost pricing may require external funding, perhaps from general funds of the U.S. Treasury.

Analytic Cross Sections for Substructure Lensing
Creators: name: Keeton, Charles R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The magnifications of the images in a strong gravitational lens system are sensitive to small mass clumps in the lens potential; this effect has been used to infer the amount of substructure in galaxy dark matter halos. I study the theory of substructure lensing to identify important general features, and to compute analytic cross sections that will facilitate further theoretical studies. I show that the problem of a clump anywhere along the line of sight to a lens can be mapped onto an equivalent problem of a clump in a simple convergence and shear field; clumps at arbitrary redshifts are therefore not hard to handle in calculations. For clumps modeled as singular isothermal spheres (SIS), I derive simple analytic estimates of the cross section for magnification perturbations of a given strength. The results yield two interesting conceptual points. First, lensed images with positive parity are always made brighter by SIS clumps; images with negative parity can be brightened but are much more likely to be dimmed. Second, the clumps need not lie within the lens galaxy; they can be moved in redshift by several tenths and still have a significant lensing effect. Isolated small halos are expected to be common in hierarchical structure formation models, but it is not yet known whether they are abundant enough compared with clumps inside lens galaxies to affect the interpretation of substructure lensing.

description: Despite observational evidences, InfraRed (IR) excess of classical Cepheids are seldom studied and poorly understood, but probably induces systematics on the Period-Luminosity (PL) relation used in the calibration of the extragalactic distance scale. This study aims to understand the physical origin of the IR excess found in the spectral energy distribution (SED) of 5 Cepheids : RS Pup (P=41.46d), zeta Gem (P=10.15d), eta Aql (P=7.18d), V Cen (P=5.49d) and SU Cyg (P=3.85d). A time series of atmospheric models along the pulsation cycle are fitted to a compilation of data, including optical and near-IR photometry, Spitzer spectra (secured at a specific phase), interferometric angular diameters, effective temperature and radial velocity measurements. Herschel images in two bands are also analyzed qualitatively. In this fitting process, based on the SPIPS algorithm, a residual is found in the SED, whatever the pulsation phase, and for wavelengths larger than about $1.2μ$m, which corresponds to the so-determined infrared excess of Cepheids. This IR excess is then corrected from interstellar medium absorption in order to infer or not the presence of dust shells, and is finally used in order to fit a model of a shell of ionized gas. For all Cepheids, we find a continuum IR excess increasing up to about -0.1 magnitudes at 30$μ$m, which cannot be explained by a hot or cold dust model of CircumStellar Environment (CSE). We show, for the first time, that the IR excess of Cepheids can be explained by free-free emission from a thin shell of ionized gas, with a thickness of about 15% of the star radius, a mass of $10^{-9}-10^{-7}$ Msol and a temperature ranging from 3500 to 4500K. This result has to be tested with interferometers operating in visible, in the mid-IR or in the radio domain. The impact of such CSEs of ionized gas on the PL relation of Cepheids needs also more investigations.

description: To assure a smooth transition from the existing pavement design methods to the new mechanistic-empirical design method in the Indiana Department of Transportation, a study was conducted to create truck traffic inputs and axle load spectra of major interstate and state-owned highways in Indiana. The existing pavement design method is based on the equivalent single-axle loads (ESAL), which converts wheel loads of various magnitudes and repetitions to an equivalent number of “standard” or “equivalent” axle loads. The new design method uses axle load spectra as the measure of vehicle loads on pavements. These spectra represent the percentage of the total axle applications within each load interval for single, tandem, tridem, and quad axles. In this study, the truck traffic and axle load spectra were developed based on the historical traffic data collected at 47 sites with weigh-in-motion technology. The truck traffic information includes hourly, daily, and monthly distributions of various types of vehicles and corresponding adjustment factors, the distributions of the number of axles of each type of truck, the weights of the axles, the spaces between the axles, the proportions of vehicles on roadway lanes, and the proportions of vehicles in driving directions. This paper presents the truck traffic and axle load spectra generated from the weigh-in-motion sites as required by the new pavement design method.
Improving On-Time Performance for Long-Distance Passenger Trains Operating on Freight Routes

description: This paper discusses on-time performance (OTP) for long-distance passenger trains operating over tracks that are owned and operated by freight railroads. OTP is addressed primarily from the point of view of the host railroad. A brief literature review identifies practices that are commonly used by railroads and other modes to develop and implement achievable schedules. Analysis of travel time, train delay and other data for Amtrak trains operating on CSXT’s I95 Corridor documents actual levels of reliability and the primary causes of poor OTP. Comparison of performance for passenger trains and various classes of freight trains demonstrates that Amtrak trains operate much faster and more reliably than CSXT’s trains. Potential means of improving the OTP of Amtrak trains are discussed. While providing high quality track with sufficient capacity is the long-run solution for upgrading OTP, a short-run solution is to base schedules on past performance (“experience-based scheduling”). After Amtrak increased the schedule of the Auto Train by one hour in 2006, OTP improved from less than 10% in early 2006 to 82% for the first half of 2008. Analysis of the travel time distributions of the other long-distance Amtrak trains operating on CSXT’s I95 Corridor from 2004 to 2008 indicates that a similar schedule increase would also have brought these other trains close to Amtrak’s goal of 80% OTP. Schedules that reflect track maintenance requirements and other known seasonal and weekly factors would allow further improvements in measured OTP. Additional measures of performance concerning the probability and extent of late arrivals would be beneficial to travelers in planning their trips.

description: Compared with cheap addition operation, multiplication operation is of much higher computation complexity. The widely-used convolutions in deep neural networks are exactly cross-correlation to measure the similarity between input feature and convolution filters, which involves massive multiplications between float values. In this paper, we present adder networks (AdderNets) to trade these massive multiplications in deep neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), for much cheaper additions to reduce computation costs. In AdderNets, we take the $\ell_1$-norm distance between filters and input feature as the output response. The influence of this new similarity measure on the optimization of neural network have been thoroughly analyzed. To achieve a better performance, we develop a special back-propagation approach for AdderNets by investigating the full-precision gradient. We then propose an adaptive learning rate strategy to enhance the training procedure of AdderNets according to the magnitude of each neuron's gradient. As a result, the proposed AdderNets can achieve 74.9% Top-1 accuracy 91.7% Top-5 accuracy using ResNet-50 on the ImageNet dataset without any multiplication in convolution layer. The codes are publicly available at: https://github.com/huaweinoah/AdderNet.

description: A novel interaction mechanism in MOSFET structures and $GaAs/AlGaAs$ hetero-junctions between the zone electrons of the two-dimensional (2D) gas and the charged traps on the insulator side is considered. By applying a canonical transformation, off-diagonal terms in the Hamiltonian due to the trapped level subsystem are excluded. This yields an effective three-particle attractive interaction as well as a pairing interaction inside the 2D electronic band. A type of Bethe- Goldstone equation for three particles is studied to clarify the character of the binding and the energy of the three-particle bound states. The results are used to offer a possible explanation of the Metal-Insulator transition recently observed in MOSFET and hetero-junctions.

description: This work offers a simulation-based approximation algorithm for dynamic marginal cost pricing (MCP) congestion pricing that is a direct extension of its static counterpart. The algorithm approximates the time-dependent marginal costs, and is incorporated into the inner approximation dynamic user equilibrium algorithm to evaluate the results of dynamic MCP, which are then compared to static assignment results with MCP from previous study. The status quo and dynamic MCP-on-freeways scenarios are simulated (and then compared) on the Dallas-Fort Worth 35,732-link network. Due to computational requirements for such a large-scale dynamic traffic assignment application, the dynamic MCP scenario is simulated without feedback, and only route choices are permitted to vary. When prices are imposed on freeway users, some minor system benefits are observed, including a delay in the onset of congestion. Dynamic prices vary substantially over the three-hour period of analysis, reflecting changes in freeway congestion. Reasons for any inconsistencies between dynamic and static results are discussed, along with important enhancements to future implementation.

description: We identify the shortcomings of existing ab initio quantum chemistry calculations for the hyperfine couplings in the recently characterized azafullerene, C59N. Standard gaussian basis sets in the context of all--electron calculations are insufficient to resolve the spin density near the cores of the atoms. Using the Projector Augmented Wave method implemented on top of a standard pseudopotential plane--wave density--functional framework, we compute significantly more accurate values for the Fermi contact interaction.

description: Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) border safety inspection facilities (BSIF) have been in operation, in temporary and permanent forms, since 2001. This paper presents inspection results on trucks inspected at Texas BSIFs from 2003 to 2006, comprising over 326,000 vehicle inspection records. Analysis indicated that Mexico domiciled trucks have lower out-of-service rates than U.S. trucks at most Texas/Mexico border crossings. This finding is noteworthy since border (drayage) vehicles are older on average than typical Texas highway trucks and counters the opinion that trucks from Mexico are unsafe and therefore should not be allowed to enter the U.S.

description: After analysing the main quantum secret sharing protocol based on the entanglement states, we propose an idea to directly encode the qubit of quantum key distributions, and then present a quantum secret sharing scheme where only product states are employed. As entanglement, especially the inaccessable multi-entangled state, is not necessary in the present quantum secret sharing protocol, it may be more applicable when the number of the parties of secret sharing is large. Its theoretic efficiency is also doubled to approach 100%.
