description: Graph clustering involves the task of dividing nodes into clusters, so that the edge density is higher within clusters as opposed to across clusters. A natural, classic and popular statistical setting for evaluating solutions to this problem is the stochastic block model, also referred to as the planted partition model. In this paper we present a new algorithm--a convexified version of Maximum Likelihood--for graph clustering. We show that, in the classic stochastic block model setting, it outperforms existing methods by polynomial factors when the cluster size is allowed to have general scalings. In fact, it is within logarithmic factors of known lower bounds for spectral methods, and there is evidence suggesting that no polynomial time algorithm would do significantly better. We then show that this guarantee carries over to a more general extension of the stochastic block model. Our method can handle the settings of semi-random graphs, heterogeneous degree distributions, unequal cluster sizes, unaffiliated nodes, partially observed graphs and planted clique/coloring etc. In particular, our results provide the best exact recovery guarantees to date for the planted partition, planted k-disjoint-cliques and planted noisy coloring models with general cluster sizes; in other settings, we match the best existing results up to logarithmic factors.

description: Integral equation methods for the solution of partial differential equations, when coupled with suitable fast algorithms, yield geometrically flexible, asymptotically optimal and well-conditioned schemes in either interior or exterior domains. The practical application of these methods, however, requires the accurate evaluation of boundary integrals with singular, weakly singular or nearly singular kernels. Historically, these issues have been handled either by low-order product integration rules (computed semi-analytically), by singularity subtraction/cancellation, by kernel regularization and asymptotic analysis, or by the construction of special purpose "generalized Gaussian quadrature" rules. In this paper, we present a systematic, high-order approach that works for any singularity (including hypersingular kernels), based only on the assumption that the field induced by the integral operator is locally smooth when restricted to either the interior or the exterior. Discontinuities in the field across the boundary are permitted. The scheme, denoted QBX (quadrature by expansion), is easy to implement and compatible with fast hierarchical algorithms such as the fast multipole method. We include accuracy tests for a variety of integral operators in two dimensions on smooth and corner domains.

description: In this paper, we study the theory of the global well-posedness and scattering for the energy-critical wave equation with a cubic convolution nonlinearity $u_{tt}-Δu+(|x|^{-4}\ast|u|^2)u=0$ in spatial dimension $d \geq 5$. The main difficulties are the absence of the classical finite speed of propagation (i.e. the monotonic local energy estimate on the light cone), which is a fundamental property to show the global well-posedness and then to obtain scattering for the wave equations with the local nonlinearity $u_{tt}-Δu+|u|^\frac4{d-2}u=0$. To compensate it, we resort to the extended causality and utilize the strategy derived from concentration compactness ideas. Then, the proof of the global well-posedness and scattering is reduced to show the nonexistence of the three enemies: finite time blowup; soliton-like solutions and low-to-high cascade. We will utilize the Morawetz estimate, the extended causality and the potential energy concentration to preclude the above three enemies.
description: 19 pages, In this version, we prove the result in Proposition 4.1 in an averaged-in-time sense, and we utilize the potential energy concentration in an averaged-in-time sense and the Morawetz estimate to kill finite time blow up solutions in Section 6

The result holds for positive harmonic functions in arbitrary open sets. It applies, e.g., to many subordinate Brownian motions, Lévy processes with and without continuous part, stable-like and censored stable processes, jump processes on fractals, and rather general Schrödinger, drift and jump perturbations of such processes.

A computational approach in dealing with uncertainty of financial markets

Subjects: Financial econometrics

description: Financial markets play a very important role in our life. During last decades a substantial progress has been made in their understanding. A main result of these developments is the change from random walk models to models that view the financial market as a complex dynamical system. Recently, it is discovered that financial markets have non-random modes. Non-random modes are significant in dealing with uncertainty of financial markets. However, understanding of non-random modes is limited and there is no fundamental theory about them in general. Currently, intensive investigations are underway to change the situation. A contribution to the solution of these problems is made in the thesis. In particular, a computational approach to characterise and quantify non-random modes of the financial market is developed. The development is realised to a stage where the approach may be tested and used for real data of financial markets.

description: The increasing challenges to the grid stability posed by the penetration of renewable energy resources urge a more active role for demand response programs as viable alternatives to a further expansion of peak power generators. This work presents a methodology to exploit the demand flexibility of energy-intensive industries under Demand-Side Management programs in the energy and reserve markets. To this end, we propose a novel scheduling model for a multi-stage multi-line process, which incorporates both the critical manufacturing constraints and the technical requirements imposed by the market. Using mixed integer programming approach, two optimization problems are formulated to sequentially minimize the cost in a day-ahead energy market and maximize the reserve provision when participating in the ancillary market. The effectiveness of day-ahead scheduling model has been verified for the case of a real metal casting plant in the Nordic market, where a significant reduction of energy cost is obtained. Furthermore, the reserve provision is shown to be a potential tool for capitalizing on the reserve market as a secondary revenue stream.

description: Inside neutron stars, the hadron-quark mixed phase is expected during the first order phase transition from the hadron phase to the quark phase. The geometrical structure of the mixed phase strongly depends on the surface tension at the hadron-quark interface. We evaluate the shear modulus which is one of the specific properties of the hadron-quark mixed phase. As an application, we study shear oscillations due to the hadron-quark mixed phase in neutron stars. We find that the frequencies of shear oscillations depend strongly on the surface tension; with a fixed stellar mass, the fundamental frequencies are almost proportional to the surface tension. Thus, one can estimate the value of surface tension via the observation of stellar oscillations with the help of the information on the stellar mass.

O estudo de caso e a gamificação com uso de dispositivos móveis são dois exemplos de metodologias ativas. A artrite séptica é um problema de alta morbidade e mortalidade que deve ser prontamente reconhecido e tratado. Relatamos a experiência do emprego do estudo de caso associado à ferramenta Kahoot! para ensino da artrite séptica para alunos do Mestrado em Ciências da Saúde. Os estudantes foram divididos em grupos e receberam informações preliminares do caso, que foi adaptado de um relato de caso previamente publicado, e foram convidados a realizar perguntas que simularam o primeiro atendimento. Após receber os dados e chegar ao diagnóstico, os alunos pesquisaram sobre o tema e responderam a perguntas no Kahoot! sobre artrite séptica. Após as respostas, seguia-se a explicação sobre o tema. Os alunos tiveram, em sua maioria, desempenho satisfatório e mantiveram-se focados durante a aplicação da metodologia. Conforme a literatura, o Kahoot! é uma metodologia ativa que é aceita e recomendada por estudantes, que aumenta o engajamento e desperta a autocrítica. O estudo de caso permite o ensino teórico-prático dos assuntos, a partir da utilização de casos reais. Esse foi o primeiro relato de experiência de ensino da artrite séptica através dessas metodologias de ensino.

description: This study evaluated the possible protective effect of Crocus sativus L. (saffron) in the treatment of renal calculi. Aqueous extract of saffron (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, daily) was administered intraperitoneally in two regimens of protective or curative, using male Wistar rats. Urolithiasis was induced by ethylene glycol (% 0.75) in drinking water. Urine was collected for biochemical analysis and the kidneys were prepared for total lipid peroxide and histological evaluation. Ethylene glycol feeding resulted in an increased urine output, renal excretion of oxalate and decreased excretion of citrate and magnesium. Saffron did not show diuretic effect; however, it significantly reduced the elevated urinary oxalate in prophylactic (50 and 100 mg/kg) and curative (100 mg/kg) studies. Only the high dose of prophylactic regimen restored citrate concentration of urine. Increased number of calcium oxalate crystals deposits in the kidney tissue of calculogenic rats was significantly reverted by the prophylactic and high dose of curative saffron treatment. Malondialdehyde (MDA, a lipid peroxidation product) in the kidneys was increased following the lithogenic treatment; however, prophylactic (50, 100 mg/kg) and curative (100 mg/kg) regimens with saffron reduced the elevated levels of MDA. Results in the current study indicate that saffron can protect against ethylene glycol induced calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis. The mechanisms underlying this effect are mediated possibly through effect on the urinary concentration of stone-forming constituents and an antioxidant effect.

description: While the publication date of Positive Images – Positive Effect, by Paul Lee and Louise Bishop, is not particularly recent, the editors of the SJRCC asked me to review it because they have only just become aware that it is available free, in pdf format (more on that at the end of this review). As the title suggests, this book is packed with activities and games for engagement with groups of young people and adults. The activities offer a tool kit to use to encourage and develop positive relationship and teambuilding skills and self-confidence. In the introductory pages the authors clearly state their goal to empower both the facilitator and the participants with affirming experiences of group work. I was hooked from early on in the narrative by the obvious passion to include young people whose life and educational experiences would be most typically ones of exclusion and failure. The book celebrates the right of children and young people to be recognised for who they are and for what they can achieve, enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. There was a deep understanding of the struggles of such young people to feel enabled to 'join in' and feel good about themselves and their contributions.

We study the analytic properties of this family of double Dirichlet series (analytic continuation, convexity estimate) and prove that a subconvex estimate implies the QUE result.

In our apparatus the atom behaves as a two-level system and we have found delays as large as 42 nanoseconds at resonance, limited by the lifetime of the excited state. This delay is an important parameter in the problem of collective near-resonant scattering by an ensemble of interacting particles, which is encountered in many areas of physics.

description: The objective of this paper is to propose the establishment of the European Open Science Cloud that will

enable digital science by introducing IT as a Service to the public research sector in Europe. The rationale calls

for a hybrid model that brings together public research organisations and e‐Infrastructures with commercial

suppliers to build a common platform offering a range of services to Europe’s research communities. The

exploitation platform will make use of, and cooperate with, existing European e‐infrastructures by jointly

offering integrated services to the end‐user. This hybrid public‐commercial cloud model represents a

significant change from the status‐quo and will bring benefits for the stakeholders: end‐users, research

organisations, service providers (public and commercial) and funding agencies. A time‐line for a pilot and its

subsequent expansion together with a funding model engaging all stakeholder groups is described.

description: Given a spherical homogeneous space G/H of minimal rank, we provide a simple procedure to describe its embeddings as varieties with torus action in terms of divisorial fans. The torus in question is obtained as the identity component of the quotient group N/H, where N is the normalizer of H in G. The resulting Chow quotient is equal to (a blowup of) the simple toroidal compactification of G/(H N^0). In the horospherical case, for example, it is equal to a flag variety, and the slices (coefficients) of the divisorial fan are merely shifts of the colored fan along the colors.

description: In closed systems, dynamical symmetries lead to conservation laws. However, conservation laws are not applicable to open systems that undergo irreversible transformations. More general selection rules are needed to determine whether, given two states, the transition from one state to the other is possible. The usual approach to the problem of finding such rules relies heavily on group theory and involves a detailed study of the structure of the respective symmetry group. We approach the problem in a completely new way by using entanglement to investigate the asymmetry properties of quantum states. To this end, we embed the space state of the system in a tensor product Hilbert space, whereby symmetric transformations between two states are replaced with local operations on their bipartite images.The embedding enables us to use the well-studied theory of entanglement to investigate the consequences of dynamic symmetries. Moreover, under reversible transformations, the entanglement of the bipartite image states becomes a conserved quantity. These entanglement-based conserved quantities are new and different from the conserved quantities based on expectation values of the Hamiltonian symmetry generators. Our method is not group-specific and applies to general symmetries associated with any semi-simple Lie group.

description: Two-party computation (2PC) is promising to enable privacy-preserving deep learning (DL). However, the 2PC-based privacy-preserving DL implementation comes with high comparison protocol overhead from the non-linear operators. This work presents PASNet, a novel systematic framework that enables low latency, high energy efficiency & accuracy, and security-guaranteed 2PC-DL by integrating the hardware latency of the cryptographic building block into the neural architecture search loss function. We develop a cryptographic hardware scheduler and the corresponding performance model for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) as a case study. The experimental results demonstrate that our light-weighted model PASNet-A and heavily-weighted model PASNet-B achieve 63 ms and 228 ms latency on private inference on ImageNet, which are 147 and 40 times faster than the SOTA CryptGPU system, and achieve 70.54% & 78.79% accuracy and more than 1000 times higher energy efficiency.

description: F$_\mathrm{o}$F$_1$-ATP synthase is a factory for synthesizing ATP in virtually all cells. Its core machinery is the subcomplex F$_1$-motor (F$_1$-ATPase) and performs the reversible mechanochemical coupling. Isolated F$_1$-motor hydrolyzes ATP, which is accompanied by unidirectional rotation of its central $γ$-shaft. When a strong opposing torque is imposed, the $γ$-shaft rotates in the opposite direction and drives the F$_1$-motor to synthesize ATP. This mechanical-to-chemical free-energy transduction is the final and central step of the multistep cellular ATP-synthetic pathway. Here, we determined the amount of mechanical work exploited by the F$_1$-motor to synthesize an ATP molecule during forced rotations using methodology combining a nonequilibrium theory and single molecule measurements of responses to external torque. We found that the internal dissipation of the motor is negligible even during rotations far from a quasistatic process.

Probabilistic positional association of catalogs of astrophysical sources: the Aspects code

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a probabilistic method of cross-identifying astrophysical sources in two catalogs from their positions and positional uncertainties. The probability that an object is associated with a source from the other catalog, or that it has no counterpart, is derived under two exclusive assumptions: first, the classical case of several-to-one associations, and then the more realistic but more difficult problem of one-to-one associations. In either case, the likelihood of observing the objects in the two catalogs at their effective positions is computed and a maximum likelihood estimator of the fraction of sources with a counterpart -- a quantity needed to compute the probabilities of association -- is built. When the positional uncertainty in one or both catalogs is unknown, this method may be used to estimate its typical value and even to study its dependence on the size of objects. It may also be applied when the true centers of a source and of its counterpart at another wavelength do not coincide. To compute the likelihood and association probabilities under the different assumptions, we developed a Fortran 95 code called "Aspects" ([aspε], "ASsociation PositionnellE/ProbabilistE de CaTalogues de Sources" in French); its source files are made freely available. To test Aspects, all-sky mock catalogs containing up to 10^5 objects were created, forcing either several-to-one or one-to-one associations. The analysis of these simulations confirms that, in both cases, the assumption with the highest likelihood is the right one and that estimators of unknown parameters built for the appropriate association model are reliable.

description: Hybrid quantum systems with inherently distinct degrees of freedom play a key role in many physical phenomena. Famous examples include cavity quantum electrodynamics, trapped ions, or electrons and phonons in the solid state. Here, a strong coupling makes the constituents loose their individual character and form dressed states. Apart from fundamental significance, hybrid systems can be exploited for practical purpose, noteworthily in the emerging field of quantum information control. A promising direction is provided by the combination between long-lived atomic states and the accessible electrical degrees of freedom in superconducting cavities and qubits. Here we integrate circuit cavity quantum electrodynamics with phonons. Besides coupling to a microwave cavity, our superconducting transmon qubit interacts with a phonon mode in a micromechanical resonator, thus representing an atom coupled to two different cavities. We measure the phonon Stark shift, as well as the splitting of the qubit spectral line into motional sidebands, which feature transitions between the dressed electromechanical states. In the time domain, we observe coherent conversion of qubit excitation to phonons as sideband Rabi oscillations. This is a model system having potential for a quantum interface, which may allow for storage of quantum information in long-lived phonon states, coupling to optical photons, or for investigations of strongly coupled quantum systems near the classical limit.

description: We show that the tritronquée solution of the Painlevé equation $\P1$, $ y"=6y^2+z$ which is analytic for large $z$ with $ \arg z \in (-\frac{3π}{5}, π)$ is pole-free in a region containing the full sector ${z \ne 0, \arg z \in [-\frac{3π}{5}, π]}$ and the disk ${z: |z| < 37/20}$. This proves in particular the Dubrovin conjecture, an open problem in the theory of Painlevé transcendents. The method, building on a technique developed in Costin, Huang, Schlag (2012), is general and constructive. As a byproduct, we obtain the value of the tritronquée and its derivative at zero within less than 1/100 rigorous error bounds.

description: Excerpts from the report: Head lettuce is subject to many market disorders, some of which are easily confused because their symptoms closely resemble each other. This confusion presents difficulties at market inspections, when accurate identification is needed to help avoid or settle disputes. This publication is designed primarily to aid in the identification of various disorders of lettuce, with precise descriptions and illustrations of each. Diseases caused by fungi and most bacteria are not included, with the exception of bacterial soft rot. The early symptoms of bacterial soft rot are included because they resemble those of russet spotting.
Bare Higgs mass at Planck scale

description: We compute one- and two-loop quadratic divergent contributions to the bare Higgs mass in terms of the bare couplings in the Standard Model. We approximate the bare couplings, defined at the ultraviolet cutoff scale, by the MS-bar ones at the same scale, which are evaluated by the two-loop renormalization group equations for the Higgs mass around 126GeV in the Standard Model. We obtain the cutoff scale dependence of the bare Higgs mass, and examine where it becomes zero. We find that when we take the current central value for the top quark pole mass, 173GeV, the bare Higgs mass vanishes if the cutoff is about 10^{23}GeV. With a 1.3 sigma smaller mass, 170GeV, the scale can be of the order of the Planck scale.

description: Three sites along the Tigris, stretching from the Mosul Dam Lake to the Qayyarah neighborhood, were chosen to collect water samples in order to determine the Tigris' water quality. The research lasted six months (September 2020-February 2021). Physical and chemical parameters exhibited local and temporal alterations, but they were consistent with all previous studies findings, that the Tigris water is alkaline, with the exception of a value of (171) NTU reported in November, when the turbidity ranged between (0.54) and (9.6), putting it in the category of excellent water in terms of suspended matter. The total dissolved solids findings revealed an increase in value as moving south. The water of the Tigris River, on the other hand, is classified as extremely hard, with total hardness ratings higher than those reported prior to the dam's construction in the early 1980s. In terms of plant nutrients, the current study found that sulfate, nitrate, and orthophosphate levels fluctuated due to pressure from a variety of domestic, agricultural, and industrial sources, as well as seasonal variations.
Functional renormalization group of the non-linear sigma model and the O(N) universality class

description: We study the renormalization group flow of the O(N) non-linear sigma model in arbitrary dimensions. The effective action of the model is truncated to fourth order in the derivative expansion and the flow is obtained by combining the non-perturbative renormalization group and the background field method. We investigate the flow in three dimensions and analyze the phase structure for arbitrary N. The corresponding results about the critical properties of the models will serve as a reference for upcoming simulations with the Monte-Carlo renormalization group.

Sixty Years of Quantized Circulation

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Vinen's vibrating wire experiment detected quantized vortices in superfluid 4He, with the anticipated circulation quantum h/m. In addition to this main result, Vinen used his data to propose other properties and behaviors of vortices, which are revisited here. Subsequent work confirmed that non-quantized values occur when vortices cover only part of the wire's length, and that the size of the covered section can change easily. Any motion of the detached portion of the vortex induces changes in the circulation around the wire, which provides a means of tracking the free vortex. Particularly distinctive signatures correspond to a circular motion of the vortex through the cell and to Kelvin waves along the free vortex. Another issue, the lack of stability of multi-quantum states, can also be explained through simple arguments, in which the possibility of a partially detached vortex again plays a key role. Vibrating wire measurements descended from Vinen's continue to probe superfluid flow.

La Densité Bâtie: Un Indice Clé

Year: 2012

description: Comment répondre aux besoins de constructions tout en économisant le sol

agricole et naturel? Ce défi fait de la densité bâtie un indice de première importance.

Or, pour chaque projet d’urbanisation, la densitéfait déat : trop forte,

pas assez forte ? Souvent, les avis divergent et les polémiques font rage.

La question est d’autant plus difficile à trancher que les chiffres de densité sont

d’utilisation délicate et que la qualité d’urbanisation dépend de bien d’autres

facteurs.

Cette marge de liberté est importante. Une même densité peut être atteinte par

des formes d’urbanisation très différentes. L’éventail des possibilité permet de

choisir les qualités d’urbanisation que l’on entend apporter dans chaque projet,

en réponse à la diversité des demandes sociales.
Properly embedded minimal annuli in $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$

description: In $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ there is a two-parameter family of properly embedded minimal annuli foliated by circles. In this paper we show that this family contains all properly embedded minimal annuli. We use the description of minimal annuli in $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ by periodic harmonic maps $G : \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{S}^2$ of finite type. Due to the algebraic geometric correspondence of Hitchin [14], these harmonic maps are parametrized by hyperelliptic algebraic curves together with Abelian differentials with prescribed poles. We deform annuli by deforming spectral data in the corresponding moduli space. Along this deformation we control the flux and we preserve embeddedness. The center of the theory concerns the study of singularities of the flow. In particular we open and close nodes of singular spectral curves. This approach applies also to mean convex Alexandrov embedded cmc annuli in $\mathbb{S}^3$ [12].

description: Excerpts from the report: Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (C02) have been shown in both laboratory and shipping tests to cause brown stain, a physiological disorder of lettuce. Accumulations of C02 in railcars of lettuce have been detected at east coast destinations since 1967, and concentrations as high as 6.6 percent have been observed. Three separate studies were conducted in 1970 and 1971 to develop practical methods of preventing the accumulation of dangerous levels of CO2 in conventional railcars of lettuce. The first two were preliminary and data for those are presented in the Appendix. The third study involved 28 commercial shipments of lettuce from California to the east coast, in which the water drains of 10 cars were propped open to partially ventilate the loads. Modified atmosphere cars also were studied in these tests.
Densités Vécues Et Formes Urbaines:  Etude De Quatre Quartiers Parisiens
Creators: name: APUR-Paris
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2003

description: Cette étude s’ efforce d’ appréhender la façon dont les habitants perçoivent, dans les quartiers, la densité objective - bâtie et humaine - que leur offre leur cadre de vie.

La densité a mauvaise presse aujourd’hui et l’ échec des grands ensembles construits dans les années 1960 - 1970, souvent imputés à une trop grande densité de population, n’ est pas étrangère à ce rejet de la ville dense. Pourtant l’analyse des indicateurs statistiques de la densité montre que ces quartiers sont souvent moins denses que les quartiers centraux des grandes villes dont le cadre de vie est pourtant bien apprécié. Dans le cadre du Projet d’aménagement et de développement durable et de la préparation des règles du Plan local d’ urbanisme, Paris, comme d’ autres villes s’interroge sur cette question dans un contexte où les limites de la ville sont fixes. Partant de l’ analyse de quatre secteurs parisiens, l’étude s’attache à comparer la réalité mesurable de la densité par des indicateurs statistiques à une approche psychosociale de la question. Elle met en évidence une opposition de perception de la densité bâtie et de l’ environnement social entre les habitants des quartiers anciens, où le tissu urbain est relativement homogène (Rochechouart - la Roquette), et ceux des quartiers récents au tissu plus discontinu ( Jeanne d’Arc - Falguière ). L’ étude montre en définitive que l’ environnement général des quartiers, les services qui sont offerts aux habitants, la qualité de l’ architecture et la convivialité reconnue des espaces publics jouent un plus grand rôle dans l’ appréciation que chacun peut avoir de la densité vécue au quotidien que la seule valeur d’ un indicateur mesuré.
Bayes' rule, generalized discord, and nonextensive thermodynamics

description: Generalized measures of quantum correlations are derived by taking Bayes' rule as the only fundamental principle. The resulting quantifiers satisfy several desirable conditions for a measure of quantum correlations and are shown to admit operational interpretation in terms of the difference in efficiency of quantum and classical demons in allowing for the extraction of generalized work from a heat bath. The link with discord is established by adopting the $q$ entropy as entropic principle. This allows us to reproduce, within a one-parameter formalism, both the entropic and the geometric measures of discord and physically distinguish them within the context of the nonextensive thermodynamics. Besides offering a unified view of several measures of correlations in terms of the Bayesian principle and its connection with thermodynamics, our approach unveils a bridge to the nonextensive statistical mechanics.
