Exact random coding error exponents of optimal bin index decoding
Creators: name: Merhav, Neri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We consider ensembles of channel codes that are partitioned into bins, and focus on analysis of exact random coding error exponents associated with optimum decoding of the index of the bin to which the transmitted codeword belongs. Two main conclusions arise from this analysis: (i) for independent random selection of codewords within a given type class, the random coding exponent of optimal bin index decoding is given by the ordinary random coding exponent function, computed at the rate of the entire code, independently of the exponential rate of the size of the bin. (ii) for this ensemble of codes, sub-optimal bin index decoding, that is based on ordinary maximum likelihood (ML) decoding, is as good as the optimal bin index decoding in terms of the random coding error exponent achieved. Finally, for the sake of completeness, we also outline how our analysis of exact random coding exponents extends to the hierarchical ensemble that correspond to superposition coding and optimal decoding, where for each bin, first, a cloud center is drawn at random, and then the codewords of this bin are drawn conditionally independently given the cloud center. For this ensemble, conclusions (i) and (ii), mentioned above, no longer hold necessarily in general.

description: We study plasmonic resonances in electrostatically gated graphene nanoribbons on silicon dioxide substrates. Absorption spectra are measured in the mid-far infrared and reveal multiple peaks, with width-dependent resonant frequencies. We calculate the dielectric function within the random phase approximation and show that the observed spectra can be explained by surface-plasmon-phonon-polariton modes, which arise from coupling of the graphene plasmon to three surface optical phonon modes in the silicon dioxide.

description: By 1978, mechanical harvesters will be used to harvest an estimated 23-36 percent of the flue-cured tobacco acreage in the study area, which produces three-fourths of all U.S. flue-cured tobacco. Farmers will use bulk barns to cure an expected 65-80 percent of it. Comparison figures of 1972 are 1 and 8 percent, respectively. If these changes occur, labor needed during the harvest will fall as much as 50 percent between 1972 and 1978. In 1972, flue-cured tobacco management units averaged 9.5 acres in the study area, or about three times the size of the average flue-cured tobacco allotment. Close to 60 percent of these units use some harvest system that differs from the more traditional methods: • 8 percent — bulk barns • 47 percent — machines to tie tobacco leaves on sticks • 30 percent — priming aids • 20 percent — traditional methods

description: An der Universität lernen Studierende die ganzen Zahlen als Äquivalenzklassen von Paaren natürlicher Zahlen kennen. Sie haben aber schnell das Gefühl, dass dieser Ansatz nicht für den Unterricht geeignet ist. Das ist bedauerlich, denn im Alltag spielen Paare von natürlichen Zahlen (oder von Geldbeträgen) durchaus eine Rolle. Haben und Soll sind auf den Kontoauszügen mancher Banken noch in unterschiedlichen Spalten aufgeführt. Für Kinder der 5. Klassen dürften Torverhältnisse in Fußballtabellen noch mehr aus ihrer Alltagswelt kommen als Kontoauszüge. Das Arbeiten mit Tabellen ist weiterhin auch anderen Stellen im Mathematikunterricht gefragt (und gehört zur Kompetenz „Darstellungen verwenden“). Außerdem bietet sich der Zahlenbereich der zweistelligen Zahlen gut zum Üben des Kopfrechnens an. In den veröffentlichten Tabellen finden sich Torverhältnisse (also Paare von natürlichen Zahlen) sowie Tordifferenzen (die im unteren Teil der Tabelle üblicherweise negativ sind). Schaut man sich z.B. die Tabelle der Hinrunde in einer Saison an und die Tabelle der Rückrunde, so kann die Schlusstabelle erstellt werden. Ganze Zahlen sind also zu addieren. Oft kennt man die Tabelle der Rückrunde gar nicht, sondern nur die Hinrunde und die Schlusstabelle sind bekannt. Ein guter Anlass also, um die Rückrunde daraus zu errechnen und sich damit die Subtraktion von ganzen Zahlen zu erschließen. Dabei kann auch auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Subtraktionsaufgaben und Ergänzungsaufgaben (bzw. des Zerlegens des Minuenden) eingegangen werden.

description: Metacognitive awareness of teachers has been considered as an important focus area of educational research. The objective of this study was to examine metacognitive awareness of biology teachers. The study used a descriptive research method. The study involved 90 biology teachers enrolled in summer I and II postgraduate diploma in teaching program. Data were collected using the 24-item Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for Teachers (MAIT) developed by Balcikanli (2011). The analysis was made using an independent sample t-test and a one- way ANOVA. The results revealed that the biology teachers have a high level of metacognitive awareness of teaching. No significant differences were found in metacognitive awareness in relation to teachers’ gender, bachelor degree program and teaching experience. However, a significant difference was found out between gender, bachelor degree program and teaching experience in the planning sub-component of metacognitive awareness. The finding indicated that female teachers were better aware of planning than males with respect to bachelor degree program and experience. Moreover, there was a significant difference in awareness to the subcomponents of knowledge of cognition. The result indicated that Biology teachers were more aware of declarative knowledge than procedural knowledge. Although there was a variation in some components of metacognition, biology teachers attending postgraduate program had high metacognitive awareness.

Generation of multi-photon entanglement

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We propose a new scheme to generate the multi-photon entanglement via two steps, that is, first to utilize the superconductor to create the multi-quantum-dot entanglement, and then to use the input photon to transfer it into the multi-photon entanglement. Moreover, the maximum probability for the swap of photon and quantum-dot qubits is close to unit for a single input Gaussian photon. More importantly, by mapping the multi-quantum-dot state into the coherent states of oscillators, such as cavity modes, the multi-quantum-dot entanglement in our scheme can be protected from the decoherence induced by the noise. Thus, it is possible to generate more than eight spatially separated entangled photons in the realistic experimental conditions.

description: For prey capture and defense, velvet worms eject an adhesive slime which has been established as a model system for recyclable complex liquids. Triggered by mechanical agitation, the liquid bio‐adhesive rapidly transitions into solid fibers. In order to understand this mechanoresponsive behavior, here, the nanostructural organization of slime components are studied using small‐angle scattering with neutrons and X‐rays. The scattering intensities are successfully described with a three‐component model accounting for proteins of two dominant molecular weight fractions and nanoscale globules. In contrast to the previous assumption that high molecular weight proteins—the presumed building blocks of the fiber core—are contained in the nanoglobules, it is found that the majority of slime proteins exist freely in solution. Only less than 10% of the slime proteins are contained in the nanoglobules, necessitating a reassessment of their function in fiber formation. Comparing scattering data of slime re‐hydrated with light and heavy water reveals that the majority of lipids in slime are contained in the nanoglobules with homogeneous distribution. Vibrating mechanical impact under exclusion of air neither leads to formation of fibers nor alters the bulk structure of slime significantly, suggesting that interfacial phenomena and directional shearing are required for fiber formation.

description: This study assessed teachers’ knowledge, attitude and practices of visualization techniques in the teaching-learning of science and mathematics subjects in middle schools in Ethiopia. The study employed survey study design. Quantitative data were collected using a self-report questionnaire from 151 middle school science and mathematics teachers selected from two regional states and one city administration of Ethiopia using cluster sampling method. Qualitative data were also generated using interview in order to augment the quantitative data. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to make meaning of the collected data. Results indicated that science and mathematics teachers’ knowledge, attitude and practices in implementing visualization techniques were below the average or expected value. There was no significant difference in teachers’ knowledge, attitude, and practices of visualization in designing lessons, teaching concepts, exposing students to practice, and assessing students’ progress on visualization techniques with respect to gender, qualification, and subject matter. It was recommended that schools provide the appropriate tools, teachers should be given training on how to implement them, the textbooks and teachers’ handbook should be revised by incorporating the appropriate visualization techniques, and supporting the teachers in the implementation of visualization.

Alcune proposte per la pianificazione, la gestione e il controllo di programmi[1]e progetti di lungo periodo
Creators: name: Morelli, Rocco

Year: 2022
Subjects: programmazione, massimo anticipo, massima dilazione, avanzamento lavori

description: Il presente articolo tratta di alcuni metodi, delineati nel corso di lavori concreti, presentati in maniera più ampia dallo stesso autore negli incontri delle Giornate AICE 2017 e 2018 e disponibili tra gli Atti di dette Giornate o in lavori pubblicati sul sito web di AICE. Essi vengono qui ripresentati in forma sintetica per discussione. In un caso, nella prima parte, dal trend delle serie di dati “storici”  degli esborsi previsti ed effettivi si propone di ottenere due funzioni la cui intersezione fornisce la migliore stima al momento dell’analisi di tempo e costo di ultimazione di un programma o progetto. In un altro caso, seconda parte, si propone di integrare tempi e costi in un unico parametro di avanzamento, essendo sempre sia i tempi che i costi due vincoli esterni contrattualmente dati per l’esecuzione di un progetto.
description: E' del tutto evidente che gli aspetti finanziari – e quindi il rischio connesso - sono tanto più rilevanti quanto più è:

-          elevata la dimensione economica e quella temporale (aspetto tipico del lungo periodo);

-       elevato il ricorso al finanziamento esterno piuttosto che all'uso di capitale proprio o equity (oggi sempre più spesso anch'essa finanziata!);

-     elevata la presenza di valuta straniera (che introduce rischio di cambio o di instabilità di altre economie) o presenza di "valuta comune" tipiche delle aree di libero scambio;

-       stringenti sono le condizioni per il ripagamento del finanziamento e più lasche quelle per la sua concessione (come la crisi dei sub-prime ha mostrato);

tutti fattori che possono far ipotizzare un rischio crescente (esponenzialmente!) con l'aumentare della dimensione temporale e che spingono a considerare sempre di più, in fase di pianificazione iniziale, "l'area sottesa dalla curva degli esborsi" e a predisporre realistici ed efficaci strumenti di gestione, monitoraggio e controllo, necessari nel corso della lunga implementazione di un programma o di un progetto della fattispecie qui considerata. Eventuali acceleramenti onerosi di programma, che dovessero riguardare ovviamente il percorso critico e le attività che lo costituiscono, implicando un'anticipazione dei pagamenti, dovrebbero portare a valutare, tra gli altri, anche gli aspetti finanziari per assicurare che i benefici conseguenti all'acceleramento non siano inferiori ai costi per conseguirlo.

description: We investigate the interplay of ferroelectricity and quantum electron transport at the nanoscale in the regime of Coulomb blockade. Ferroelectric polarization in this case is no longer the external parameter but should be self-consistently calculated along with electron hopping probabilities leading to new physical transport phenomena studying in this paper. These phenomena appear mostly due to effective screening of a grain electric field by ferroelectric environment rather than due to polarization dependent tunneling probabilities. At small bias voltages polarization can be switched by a single excess electron in the grain. In this case transport properties of SET exhibit the instability (memory effect).

description: Radio frequency (RF) plays a critical role in many military systems such as navigation, radar, and communication systems. Common DoD use cases include satellite communication (SATCOM), radio, radar, or tactical data links that help coordinate troop movements, signal position info about a target, or help maintain communication between aircraft and drones. A recent report indicated the DoD is susceptible to potential RF attack vectors, indicating the need to better understand and prevent vulnerabilities. In this RF 101 guide from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), we explore some of the fundamentals of radio frequency communication, delve into the generalities of protocols and device interactions, discuss common RF tools, and uncover ways malicious actors can attack systems. We summarize the basics of RF technology and the risks associated with it and discuss how the SEI is helping to secure wireless communications.

description: We study the $P-V/r_{+}$ criticality and phase transition of quantum-corrected black hole in asymptotic safety (AS) gravity in the extended phase space. For the black hole, the cosmological constant is dependent on the momentum cutoff or energy scale, therefore one can naturally treat it as a variable and connect it with the thermodynamic pressure. We find that for the quantum-corrected black hole there is a similar first-order phase transition to that of the van der Waals liquid/gas system. We also analyze the types of the phase transition at the critical points according to Ehrenfest's classification. It is shown that they are second-order phase transition.

description: The Peruvian bay scallop Argopecten purpuratus is the economically most important cultivated bivalve species along the South American Pacific coast. A major cultiva-tion spot is Sechura Bay, North of Peru, where scallops are grown in shallow-water bottom cultures. This activity is very important for the socio-economic development of the region: in 2013, about 5000 artisanal fishers work in the scallop production chain, with an annual export val-ue of US$158 mill. However, the intense scallop cultiva-tion can lead to changes in the species composition of the bottom community. Overstocking, combined with adverse environmental conditions, may cause poor scallop growth and mass mortalities with severe impacts on the entire ecosystem and the scallop production chain.

description: Abilities, in contrast to mere dispositions, propensities, or tendencies, abilities seem to be features of agents that put the agent herself in control. But what is the distinguishing feature of abilities vis-à-vis other kinds of powers? Our aim in this paper is to point, in answer to this question, to a crucial feature of abilities that existing accounts have tended to neglect: their adaptivity. Adaptivity is a feature of how abilities are exercised. The main reason for its relative neglect has been that most extant accounts have focused solely on whether abilities are exercised successfully in certain possible situations and have mostly understood the exercise of an ability in terms of complete successful performance. We begin by pointing out two aspects of abilities with regard to which current accounts seem (at best) incomplete: control and exercise. We then introduce adaptivity as we understand it, and end by putting it to work in developing a fuller understanding of abilities that does better than current accounts.

description: We study the $k$-NN hard core lattice gas model in which the first $k$ next nearest neighbor sites of a particle are excluded from occupation by other particles on a two dimensional square lattice. This model is the lattice version of the hard disc system with increasing $k$ corresponding to decreasing lattice spacing. While the hard disc system is known to undergo a two step freezing process with increasing density, the lattice model has been known to show only one transition. Here, based on Monte Carlo simulations and high density expansions of the free energy and density, we argue that for $k=4,10,11,14...$, the lattice model undergoes multiple transitions with increasing density. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we confirm the same for $k=4,\ldots, 11$. This, in turn, resolves an existing puzzle as to why the 4-NN model has a continuous transition against the expectation of a first order transition.

description: The brain is subjected to multi-modal sensory information in an environment governed by statistical dependencies. Mismatch responses (MMRs), classically recorded with EEG, have provided valuable insights into the brain's processing of regularities and the generation of corresponding sensory predictions. Only few studies allow for comparisons of MMRs across multiple modalities in a simultaneous sensory stream and their corresponding cross-modal context sensitivity remains unknown. Here, we used a tri-modal version of the roving stimulus paradigm in fMRI to elicit MMRs in the auditory, somatosensory and visual modality. Participants (N = 29) were simultaneously presented with sequences of low and high intensity stimuli in each of the three senses while actively observing the tri-modal input stream and occasionally reporting the intensity of the previous stimulus in a prompted modality. The sequences were based on a probabilistic model, defining transition probabilities such that, for each modality, stimuli were more likely to repeat (p = .825) than change (p = .175) and stimulus intensities were equiprobable (p = .5). Moreover, each transition was conditional on the configuration of the other two modalities comprising global (cross-modal) predictive properties of the sequences. We identified a shared mismatch network of modality general inferior frontal and temporo-parietal areas as well as sensory areas, where the connectivity (psychophysiological interaction) between these regions was modulated during mismatch processing. Further, we found deviant responses within the network to be modulated by local stimulus repetition, which suggests highly comparable processing of expectation violation across modalities. Moreover, hierarchically higher regions of the mismatch network in the temporo-parietal area around the intraparietal sulcus were identified to signal cross-modal expectation violation. With the consistency of MMRs across audition, somatosensation and vision, our study provides insights into a shared cortical network of uni- and multi-modal expectation violation in response to sequence regularities.

description: High-resolution H$α$ observations indicate that filaments consist of an assembly of thin threads. In quiescent filaments, the threads are generally short, whereas in active region filaments, the threads are generally long. In order to explain these observational features, we performed one-dimensional radiative hydrodynamic simulations of filament formation along a dipped magnetic flux tube in the framework of the chromospheric evaporation-coronal condensation model. The geometry of a dipped magnetic flux tube is characterized by three parameters, i.e., the depth ($D$), the half-width ($w$), and the altitude ($h$) of the magnetic dip. The parameter survey in the numerical simulations shows that allowing the filament thread to grow in 5 days, the maximum length ($L_{th}$) of the filament thread increases linearly with $w$, and decreases linearly with $D$ and $h$. The dependence is fitted into a linear function $L_{th}=0.84w-0.88D-2.78h+17.31$ Mm. Such a relation can qualitatively explain why quiescent filaments have shorter threads and active region filaments have longer threads.

description: Incarceration has become the routine response to severe criminal offence and is presented as the most humane form of punishment. Yet, multiple biases combine to form a discriminatory criminal justice system targeting poor men of colour. Drawing on Michel Foucault, Loïc Wacquant, and Angela Davis the development of prisons to the hegemonic form of managing misconduct and ultimately poverty is analysed. These include analyses of the prison-industrial complex as a close connection between incarceration and industry, as well as the role of neoliberal ideology and agenda in transforming the state based on discipline and control as responses to social ills. Following Castoriadis’ “decolonisation of the imaginary”, these fundamental critiques are connected with alternatives to incarceration. Finally, exemplary alternatives to the neoliberal state complete the mosaic of social injustice and provide a broader picture on this important debate.

description: In this paper, an approach of estimating signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) is proposed for two-dimensional (2-D) localization of incoherently distributed (ID) sources in large-scale/massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The traditional ESPRIT-based methods are valid only for one-dimensional (1-D) localization of the ID sources. By contrast, in the proposed approach the signal subspace is constructed for estimating the nominal azimuth and elevation direction-of-arrivals and the angular spreads. The proposed estimator enjoys closed-form expressions and hence it bypasses the searching over the entire feasible field. Therefore, it imposes significantly lower computational complexity than the conventional 2-D estimation approaches. Our analysis shows that the estimation performance of the proposed approach improves when the large-scale/massive MIMO systems are employed. The approximate Cramér-Rao bound of the proposed estimator for the 2-D localization is also derived. Numerical results demonstrate that albeit the proposed estimation method is comparable with the traditional 2-D estimators in terms of performance, it benefits from a remarkably lower computational complexity.

description: The SWATH-D experiment involved the deployment of a dense temporary broadband seismic network in the Eastern Alps. Its primary purpose was enhanced seismic imaging of the crust and crust-mantle transition as well as improved constraints on local event locations and focal mechanisms in a complex part of the Alpine orogen. The study region is a key area of the Alps, where European crust in the north is juxtaposed and partially interwoven with Adriatic crust in the south, and a significant jump in the Moho depth was observed by the 2001 TRANSALP N-S profile. Here, a flip in subduction polarity has been suggested to occur. This dense network encompasses 163 stations and complements the larger-scale sparser AlpArray seismic network. The nominal station spacing in SWATH-D is 15 km in a high alpine, yet densely populated and industrialized region. We present here the challenges resulting from operating a large broadband network under these conditions and summarize how we addressed them, including the way we planned, deployed, maintained and operated the stations in the field. Finally, we present some recommendations based on our experiences.

description: The European Central Bank (ECB) has adopted a mixture of conventional and unconventional tools in order to achieve its mandate of price stability in the current low-inflation, low-interest-rate scenario. This paper contributes to the existing literature by providing a taxonomy of the ECB’s policy toolkit and by evaluating its implications on price stability and the anchoring of inflation expectations. I carry out my analysis based on a high-frequency identification and the estimation of a large Bayesian Vector Autoregression. I find evidence of re-anchored expectations as response to quantitative easing and forward guidance, i.e. forecasters revise their long-run expectations upwards. Consequently, inflation increases, which stresses the crucial role of expectations for the transmission of monetary policy.

description: In this position paper we describe the current status and plans for a Swiss National Research Infrastructure. Swiss academic and research institutions are very autonomous. While being loosely coupled, they do not rely on any centralized management entities. Therefore, a coordinated national research infrastructure can only be established by federating the various resources available locally at the individual institutions. The Swiss Multi-Science Computing Grid and the Swiss Academic Compute Cloud projects serve already a large number of diverse user communities. These projects also allow us to test the operational setup of such a heterogeneous federated infrastructure.
