description: Programmable linear optical processors (LOPs) can have widespread applications in computing and information processing due to their capabilities to implement reconfigurable on-chip linear transformations. A conventional LOP that uses a mesh of Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) requires $2N+3$ stages of phase shifters for $N \times N$ matrices. However, it is beneficial to reduce the number of phase shifter stages to realize a more compact and lower-loss LOP, especially when long and lossy electro-optic phase shifters are used. In this work, we propose a novel structure for LOPs that can implement arbitrary matrices as long as they can be realized by previous MZI-based schemes. Through numerical analysis, we further show that the number of phase shifter stages in the proposed structure can be reduced to $N+2$ and $N+3$ for a large number of random dense matrices and sparse matrices, respectively. This work contributes to the realization of compact, low-loss, and energy-efficient programmable LOPs.

description: Given the recent progress in dark matter direction detection experiments, we examine a light bino-higgsino dark matter (DM) scenario ($M_1<100$ GeV and $μ<300$ GeV) in natural supersymmetry with the electroweak fine tuning measure $Δ_{EW}<30$. By imposing various constraints, we note that: (i) For $sign(μ/M_1)=+1$, the parameter space allowed by the DM relic density and collider bounds can almost be excluded by the very recent spin-independent (SI) scattering cross section limits from the XENON1T (2017) experiment. (ii) For $sign(μ/M_1)=-1$, the SI limits can be evaded due to the cancelation effects in the $h\tildeχ^0_1\tildeχ^0_1$ coupling, while rather stringent constraints come from the PandaX-II (2016) spin-dependent (SD) scattering cross section limits, which can exclude the higgsino mass $|μ|$ and the LSP mass $m_{\tildeχ^0_1}$ up to about 230 GeV and 37 GeV, respectively. Furthermore, the surviving parameter space will be fully covered by the projected XENON1T experiment or the future trilepton searches at the HL-LHC.

A new 2D stochastic methodology for simulating variable accretion discs: propagating fluctuations and epicyclic motion

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Accretion occurs across a large range of scales and physical regimes. Despite this diversity in the physics, the observed properties show remarkably similarity. The theory of propagating fluctuations, in which broad-band variability within an accretion disc travel inwards and combine, has long been used to explain these phenomena. Recent numerical work has expanded on the extensive analytical literature but has been restricted to using the 1D diffusion equation for modelling the disc behaviour. In this work we present a novel numerical approach for 2D (vertically integrated), stochastically driven α-disc simulations, generalising existing 1D models. We find that the theory of propagating fluctuations translates well to 2D. However, the presence of epicyclic motion in 2D (which cannot be captured within the diffusion equation) is shown to have an important impact on local disc dynamics. Additionally, there are suggestions that for sufficiently thin discs the log-normality of the light-curves changes. As in previous work, we find that the break frequency in the luminosity power spectrum is strongly dependent on the driving timescale of the stochastic perturbations within the disc, providing a possible observational signature for probing the magnetorotational instability (MRI) dynamo. We also find that thinner discs are significantly less variable than thicker ones, providing a compelling explanation for the greater variability seen in the hard state vs the soft state of X-ray binaries. Finally, we consider the wide-ranging applications of our numerical model for use in other simulations.

description: The increasing popularity of Over-the-top (OTT) media platforms and various forms of media has led to people talking and relating to media characters and figures. It, therefore, is interesting and also the aim of the study is to understand if there is a relationship between romantic attachment styles and one’s parasocial relationships. The study was conducted on a sample of 170. The method for analysis used was correlational analysis. The correlation between the two variables is also interesting as the sample only consisted of young Indian adults in the age group of 18-25. Previous studies were only done either on undergraduate students or on adolescents. Another gap that the primary investigators noticed was that the previous studies used only celebrities to study Parasocial relationships. Hence, the researchers wanted to fill this gap. The scales used for this study were (a) Adult Attachment Scale (Collins & Read, 1990), and Multiple Parasocial Relationship Scale (Tukachinsky, 2010). It was hypothesized that there would be no significant correlation between romantic attachment style, and parasocial relationships; and there would be a significant correlation between romantic attachment styles (Secure, Preoccupied, Dismissing, and Fearful) and Parasocial Relationships respectively. It was found that there is no significant correlation between romantic attachment styles and parasocial relationships. However, there may be other factors that must have contributed to this result, and conclusion.

description: The transition from laminar to turbulent flow is an immensely important topic that is still being studied. Here we show that complex plasmas, i.e., microparticles immersed in a low temperature plasma, make it possible to study the particle-resolved onset of turbulence under the influence of damping, a feat not possible with conventional systems. We performed three-dimensional (3D) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of complex plasmas flowing past an obstacle and observed 3D turbulence in the wake and fore-wake region of this obstacle. We found that we could reliably trigger the onset of turbulence by changing key parameters such as the flow speed and particle charge, which can be controlled in experiments, and show that the transition to turbulence follows the conventional pathway involving the intermittent emergence of turbulent puffs. The power spectra for fully developed turbulence in our simulations followed the -5/3 power law of Kolmogorovian turbulence in both time and space. We demonstrate that turbulence in simulations with damping occurs after the formation of shock fronts, such as bow shocks and Mach cones. By reducing the strength of damping in the simulations, we could trigger a transition to turbulence in an undamped system. This work opens the pathway to detailed experimental and simulation studies of the onset of turbulence on the level of the carriers of the turbulent interactions, i.e., the microparticles.

description: We study the effect of spin-orbit interaction on one-dimensional U(1)-invariant frustrated magnets with dominant critical nematic fluctuations. The spin-orbit coupling explicitly breaks the U(1) symmetry of arbitrary global spin rotations about the high-symmetry axis down to $Z_2$ (invariance under a $π$-rotation). Given that the nematic order parameter is invariant under a $π$-rotation, it is relevant to ask if other discrete symmetries can be spontaneously broken. Here we demonstrate that the spin-orbit coupling induces a bond density wave that spontaneously breaks the translational symmetry and opens a gap in the excitation spectrum.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel approach that employs kinetic equations to describe the collective dynamics emerging from graph-mediated pairwise interactions in multi-agent systems. We formally show that for large graphs and specific classes of interactions a statistical description of the graph topology, given in terms of the degree distribution embedded in a Boltzmann-type kinetic equation, is sufficient to capture the collective trends of networked interacting systems. This proves the validity of a commonly accepted heuristic assumption in statistically structured graph models, namely that the so-called connectivity of the agents is the only relevant parameter to be retained in a statistical description of the graph topology. Then we validate our results by testing them numerically against real social network data.

description: We derive new explicit expressions for the Dirac bilinears based on a generic representation of the massive Dirac spinors with canonical polarization. These bilinears depend on a direction $n$ in Minkowski space which specifies the form of dynamics. We argue that such a dependence is unavoidable in a relativistic theory with spin, since it originates from Wigner rotation effects. Contrary to most of the expressions found in the literature, our ones are valid for all momenta and canonical polarizations of the spinors. As a by-product, we also obtain a generic explicit expression for the covariant spin vector.

description: Lindernia crustacea (L.) F. Muell 1882, a species in the Linderniaceae family, holds traditional medicinal value in China. To investigate its genetic diversity, we assembled, annotated, and characterized the first complete chloroplast genome of L. crustacea using Illumina sequencing data and various bioinformatics tools. The genome is 153,647 bp in length, with a GC content of 37.6%. It exhibits a typical quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,411 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,724 bp, and two inverted repeat sequences (IRa and IRb) of 25,816 bp each. The genome was predicted to contain 131 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenomic analysis indicated that L. crustacea is closely related to L. stricta. These findings provide a foundation for further research on the evolution and potential medicinal applications of the Linderniaceae family.

description: Asarum chungbuensis, a species endemic to Korea, has a limited distribution across the Korean Peninsula and is used in traditional medicine. Despite its importance, the genome structure, genetic composition, and phylogenetic relationships based on its chloroplast genome have not been documented. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of A. chungbuensis was newly assembled. The chloroplast genome is 190,179 base pairs (bp) long, and the overall GC content (%) of the plastid was 36.8%. The chloroplast genome size of A. chungbuensis is longer than that of the normal chloroplast genome (160 kb) because of an inverted small single-copy (SSC) duplication that incorporates the SSC into an inverted repeat (IR) region. By extension, this duplication event causes this chloroplast genome to lack an SSC, unlike other formal structures. The chloroplast genome, with a tripartite structure, consisted of a single-copy region of 93,351 bp with a 34.6% GC content and two IR regions, each with a length of 48,414 bp and a 38.8% GC content. Additionally, it was found to have 113 genes, including 79 PCG genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. chungbuensis was grouped with A. heterotropoides var. seoulense, which diverged from the clade comprising A. koreanum and A. patens. The newly sequenced A. chungbuensis chloroplast genome could provide valuable genomic information for determining unique genome structures, especially for the assessment of genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships, species conservation, and biogeographic studies of the genus Asarum.

description: We study diffusion of charged particles in stationary stochastic magnetic field ${\bf B}$ with zero mean, $\langle {\bf B} \rangle = 0 $. In the case when electric current is carried by electrons, the field is force-free, $\mathrm{curl} \,{\bf B} = α{\bf B} $, where $α({\bf r})$ is an arbitrary scalar function. In a small region where the function $α$ and the field magnitude $|{\bf B}|$ are approximately constant, the equations of motion of charged particles are integrated and reduced to the equation of mathematical pendulum. The transition from trapped to untrapped particles is continuously traced. Averaging over the magnetic field spectrum gives the spatial diffusion coefficient $D$ of particles as a function of the Larmor radius $r_L$ in the large-scale magnetic fields ($B_{LS}$) and magnetic field correlation length $L_0$. The diffusion coefficient turns out to be proportional to the Larmor radius, $D\propto r_L $, for $r_L L_0 /2π$. We apply obtained results to the diffusion of cosmic rays in the Galaxy, which contains a large number of independent regions with parameters $L_0$ and $B_{LS}$ varying in wide range. We average over $B_{LS}$ with the Kolmogorov spectrum and over $L_0$ with the distribution function $f(L_0)\propto L_0^{- 1+ σ}$. For the practically flat spectrum $σ= 1/15$, we have $ D\propto r_m^{0.7}$, which is consistent with observations.

description: Investigating quantum effects arising from high loops in perturbation theory is crucial for the physical applications of any quantum field theory. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the two-loop renormalization of CPT-even Lorentz-violating scalar electrodynamics at the first order in the background vectors. We provide results for the self-energies of the photon and scalar field, as well as for the three-point function associated with the scalar-scalar-photon vertex, ensuring a thorough examination of the quantum effects. The calculations satisfy the ward identities, demonstrating their consistency. Computational tools were employed to carry out the calculations, and we provide additional details in the Supplemental Material for interested readers. Our contribution presents, for the first time, a two-loop calculation within the framework of the Lorentz-violating Standard Model Extension.

description: During 2003--2015, the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) has searched for $a\toγ$ conversion in the 9 T magnetic field of a refurbished LHC test magnet that can be directed toward the Sun. In its final phase of solar axion searches (2013--2015), CAST has returned to evacuated magnet pipes, which is optimal for small axion masses. The absence of a significant signal above background provides a world leading limit of $g_{aγ} < 0.66 \times 10^{-10} {\rm GeV}^{-1}$ (95% C.L.) on the axion-photon coupling strength for $m_a \lesssim 0.02$ eV. Compared with the first vacuum phase (2003--2004), the sensitivity was vastly increased with low-background x-ray detectors and a new x-ray telescope. These innovations also serve as pathfinders for a possible next-generation axion helioscope.

description: The chiton (Polyplacophora) occupies a significant position in molluscan evolutionary history as one of the most primitive groups within the phylum Mollusca. Acanthochitona defilippii (Tapparone-Canefri 1874) (Chitonida: Acanthochitonidae) is a commonly found intertidal chiton species in South Korea. In this study, we characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of A. defilippii (14,999 bp long), comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and an A + T rich region (166 bp). The base composition is as follows: 31.82% for A, 11.63% for C, 16.69% for G, and 39.86% for T. We reconstructed a maximum likelihood (ML) tree to elucidate phylogenetic relationships among the eight chitonid families using the nucleotide sequences of all PCGs. The ML tree revealed that A. defilippii clustered with Acanthochitona avicula (BP 100) within the family Acanthochitonidae. Acanthochitonidae formed a sister group with Mopaliidae. The results could provide a valuable understanding the phylogenetic relationships of chitonid species.

A Stackelberg Game Approach to Control the Overall Load Consumption of a Residential Neighborhood

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: This paper formulates a Stackelberg game between a coordination agent and participating homes to control the overall load consumption of a residential neighborhood. Each home optimizes a comfort-cost trade off to determine a load schedule of its available appliances in response to a price vector set by the coordination agent. The goal of the coordination agent is to find a price vector that will keep the overall load consumption of the neighborhood around some target value. After transforming the bilevel optimization problem into a single level optimization problem by using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, we model how each home reacts to any change in the price vector by using the implicit function theorem. By using this information, we develop a distributed optimization framework based on gradient descent to attain a better price vector. We verify the load shaping capacity and the computational performance of the proposed optimization framework in a simulated environment establishing significant benefits over solving the centralized problem using commercial solvers.

description: This study presents a meshless-based local reanalysis (MLR) method. The purpose of this study is to extend reanalysis methods to the Kriging interpolation meshless method due to its high efficiency. In this study, two reanalysis methods: combined approximations CA) and indirect factorization updating (IFU) methods are utilized. Considering the computational cost of meshless methods, the reanalysis method improves the efficiency of the full meshless method significantly. Compared with finite element method (FEM)-based reanalysis methods, the main superiority of meshless-based reanalysis method is to break the limitation of mesh connection. The meshless-based reanalysis is much easier to obtain the stiffness matrix even for solving the mesh distortion problems. However, compared with the FEM-based reanalysis method, the critical challenge is to use much more nodes in the influence domain due to high order interpolation. Therefore, a local reanalysis method which only needs to calculate the local stiffness matrix in the influence domain is suggested to improve the efficiency further. Several typical numerical examples are tested and the performance of the suggested method is verified.

description: Thalictrum elegans Wall. ex Royle, a species within the family Ranunculaceae, is mainly distributed along forest margins and grassy slopes at altitudes 2700-4000 m on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Despite its wide distribution in alpine ecosystems, its genetic diversity remains poorly understood. In this study, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of T. elegans, addressing a significant gap in our understanding of its genetic composition. The chloroplast genome is 155,864 base pairs long and contains 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 15 representative Thalictrum species revealed that the genus can be classified into three clades. T. elegans along with another nine other species formed the largest monophyletic clade and is most closely related to T. petaloideum and T. foliosum. These findings enhance our understanding of the genetic diversity of T. elegans and contribute to its conservation and utilization.

Our framework maps the SIR dynamics to weights assigned to the edges of the network, which can be done for Markovian and non-Markovian processes alike. The weights represent the propagation time between the adjacent nodes for a particular realization. We simulate the dynamics by constructing an ensemble of such realizations, which can be done by using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method or by direct sampling. The former provides a runtime advantage when realizations from all possible sources are computed as the weighted shortest paths can be re-calculated more efficiently. We apply our framework to three empirical networks and analyze the expected propagation time between all pairs of nodes. Furthermore, we have employed our framework to perform efficient source detection and to improve strategies for time-critical vaccination.

description: We demonstrate that strong-field ionization of atoms driven by circularly polarized light becomes an adiabatic process when described in the frame rotating with the laser field. As a direct consequence, a conservation law emerges: in the rotating frame the energy of the tunneling electron is conserved for rotationally invariant potentials. This conservation law, arising from a classical picture, is retrieved through a proper classical-quantum correspondence when considering the full quantum system, beyond the Strong Field Approximation.

description: We develop an efficient and high order panel method with applications in airfoil design. Through the use of analytic work and careful considerations near singularities our approach is quadrature-free. The resulting method is examined with respect to accuracy and efficiency and we discuss the different trade-offs in approximation order and computational complexity. A reference implementation within a package for a two-dimensional fast multipole method is distributed freely.

description: Most existing federated learning algorithms are based on the vanilla FedAvg scheme. However, with the increase of data complexity and the number of model parameters, the amount of communication traffic and the number of iteration rounds for training such algorithms increases significantly, especially in non-independently and homogeneously distributed scenarios, where they do not achieve satisfactory performance. In this work, we propose FedND: federated learning with noise distillation. The main idea is to use knowledge distillation to optimize the model training process. In the client, we propose a self-distillation method to train the local model. In the server, we generate noisy samples for each client and use them to distill other clients. Finally, the global model is obtained by the aggregation of local models. Experimental results show that the algorithm achieves the best performance and is more communication-efficient than state-of-the-art methods.

description: Heptathela kimurai (Kishida, 1920) is a spider that belongs to the family Heptathelidae which is a basial lineage of spiders. The molecular information of ancestral species belonging to families like Heptathelidae is comparatively limited when compared to spider species from derived families. Here we present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence (mtDNA) of H. kimurai. The sequence was obtained using massively parallel sequencing technology. The circular genome was 14,224 bp in length, and the AT content was 69.53%. The H. kimurai mitochondrial genome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 21 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The majority of PCGs were found in the heavy strand.

Inverse Mean Curvature Flow and the Stability of the Positive Mass Theorem and Riemannian Penrose Inequality Under $L^2$ Metric Convergence
Creators: name: Allen, Brian
Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We study the stability of the Positive Mass Theorem (PMT) and the Riemannian Penrose Inequality (RPI) in the case where a region of an asymptotically flat manifold $M^3$ can be foliated by a smooth solution of Inverse Mean Curvature Flow (IMCF) which is uniformly controlled. We consider a sequence of regions of asymptotically flat manifolds $U_T^i\subset M_i^3$, foliated by a smooth solution to IMCF which is uniformly controlled, and if $\partial U_T^i = Σ_0^i \cup Σ_T^i$ and $m_H(Σ_T^i) \rightarrow 0$ then $U_T^i$ converges to a flat annulus with respect to $L^2$ metric convergence. If instead $m_H(Σ_T^i)-m_H(Σ_0^i) \rightarrow 0$ and $m_H(Σ_T^i) \rightarrow m >0$ then we show that $U_T^i$ converges to a topological annulus portion of the Schwarzschild metric with respect to $L^2$ metric convergence.

description: As the need for large elections increases and computer networking becomes more widely used, e-voting has become a major topic of interest in the field of cryptography. However, lack of cryptography knowledge among the general public is one obstacle to widespread deployment. In this paper, we present an e-voting scheme based on an existing scheme. Our scheme features an efficient location anonymization technique built on homomorphic encryption. This technique does not require any participation from the voter other than receiving and summing location shares. Moreover, our scheme is simplified and offers more protection against misbehaving parties. We also give an in-depth security analysis, present performance results, compare our scheme with existing schemes, and describe how our research can be used to enhance cybersecurity education.
title: Lin Hsien-tang and resistance and adaptation in 20th century Taiwan
Creators: name: Chen, PP
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines Lin Hsien-tang’s life story that interprets one part of Taiwan’s past and its history. Like a characteristic of area studies where the “object” of analysis was unstable as “Taiwan,” the thesis intersects with a range of scholarly fields: Taiwan Studies, Chinese Studies, history, life-writing, political sociology, sociology of education. The thesis uses Lin’s story as a touchstone to tell the complexity of Taiwan’s story. Lin Hsien-tang (1881-1956) was a socially responsible Taiwanese elite whose life traversed the Qing, Japanese and then Nationalist rule. The thesis highlights Lin’s story through specific events in his life to illuminate Taiwan’s changing circumstances across different periods. The thesis offered a detailed examination of Lin’s politico-social and cultural life in a chronological order. Each chapter was fundamentally important in representing Lin’s personal development across different periods of his life as well as Taiwan’s story during these different authorities. Grounding on Lin Hsien-tang and Taiwan’s stories, Michel De Certeau’s notions of “strategy of domination” and “tactics of resistance” are introduced to offer an analytical mechanism to map out the conflicts, tension and cooperation between ethnicities, governments, countries, ideologies, and generations. It attempts to be attentive to Lin’s political, social and cultural experience, and then to explore the evolving issues from which knowledge about Lin Hsien-tang and the broader of Taiwan has been produced.

description: Freshwater crabs play essential roles in the well-functioning of the inland aquatic ecosystems. However, due to the lack of sufficient molecular resources, the study of freshwater crabs has been greatly hindered. In this study, the mitochondrial genome of Huananpotamon koatenense, a freshwater crab endemic to China, was sequenced for the first time. This mitogenome sequence is 15,528 bp long, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analyses based on 25 mitogenomes showed that H. koatenense was clustered with the known congeneric species of H. lichuanense.

description: Nowadays quantum SWAP gate has become an integral part of quantum computing, so investigation of methods of its realization seems to be an important practical problem for various quantum-optical and information applications. In the present paper we propose a scheme for performing a SWAP logic operation in discrete variables in the framework of quantum non-demolition interaction between an atomic ensemble and a multimode light with orbital angular momentum. We discuss in detail the procedure for revealing two-qubit closed subsystems on a set of atomic and field states for different values of the driving field orbital momentum. We also demonstrate the possibility of implementing a parallel multi-two-qubit quantum SWAP gate.
(Non) equilibrium dynamics: a (broken) symmetry of the Keldysh generating functional

description: We unveil the universal (model-independent) symmetry satisfied by Schwinger-Keldysh quantum field theories whenever they describe equilibrium dynamics. This is made possible by a generalization of the Schwinger-Keldysh path-integral formalism in which the physical time can be re-parametrized to arbitrary contours in the complex plane. Strong relations between correlation functions, such as the fluctuation-dissipation theorems, are derived as immediate consequences of this symmetry of equilibrium. In this view, quantum non-equilibrium dynamics -- e.g. when driving with a time-dependent potential -- are seen as symmetry-breaking processes. The symmetry-breaking terms of the action are identified as a measure of irreversibility, or entropy creation, defined at the level of a single quantum trajectory. Moreover, they are shown to obey quantum fluctuation theorems. These results extend stochastic thermodynamics to the quantum realm.

description: For an ongoing systematic study of Korean Vespidae, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of a social wasp, Vespula rufa (Linnaeus 1758), from the South Korea. The mitogenome is 17,521 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The nucleotide composition is 40.5% adenines, 43.0% thymines, 6.0% guanines, and 10.5% cytosines. The GC content is 16.5%. A maximum-likelihood analysis was conducted to understand phylogenetic relationships, based on 13 complete mitogenome sequences of Vespinae species. We recognized that V. rufa is being placed basal within the genus Vespula. The complete mitochondrial genome of V. rufa provides useful genetic information for further studies.
