description: Low rank matrix and tensor completion problems are to recover the incomplete two and higher order data by using their low rank structures. The essential problem in the matrix and tensor completion problems is how to improve the efficiency. To this end, we first establish the relationship between matrix rank and tensor tubal rank, and then reformulate matrix completion problem as a tensor completion problem. For the reformulated tensor completion problem, we adopt a two-stage strategy based on tensor factorization algorithm. In this way, a matrix completion problem of big size can be solved via some matrix computations of smaller sizes. For a third order tensor completion problem, to fully exploit the low rank structures, we introduce the double tubal rank which combines the tubal rank and the rank of the mode-3 unfolding matrix. For the mode-3 unfolding matrix rank, we follow the idea of matrix completion. Based on this, we establish a novel model and modify the tensor factorization based algorithm for third order tensor completion. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art methods in terms of both accuracy and running time.

description: For the short hairs that have a significant impact only near the event horizon, studying their strong gravitational lensing effects is of great significance for revealing the properties of these hairs. In this study, we systematically investigated the strong gravitational lensing effects in the rotating short-haired black hole and constrained its hair parameter $Q_m$. Specifically, \(Q_m\) causes the event horizon radius, photon - orbit radius, and impact parameter to be lower than those of the Kerr black hole. Regarding the lensing coefficients \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\), as the spin parameter \(a\) increases, \(\bar{a}\) shows an increasing trend, while \(\bar{b}\) shows a decreasing trend. In the observational simulations of M87* and Sgr A*, the angular position and angular separation of the relativistic image increase with the increase of \(a\), while the magnification of the image shows an opposite trend. The existence of \(Q_m\) only intensifies these trends, while parameter $k$ suppresses such tendencies. More importantly, the rotating short-haired black hole exhibits a significant difference in time delay compared to other black hole models. Especially in the simulation of M87*, the time delay deviation between the rotating short-haired black hole and the Kerr black hole, as well as the Kerr-Newman black hole, can reach dozens of hours. Through a comparative analysis with the observational data from the EHT, we effectively constrain the parameter space of the rotating short-haired black hole. The results indicate that this model has potential application prospects in explaining cosmic black hole phenomena and provides a possible theoretical basis for differentiating between different black hole models.
The targum (1923:Mar. 6 - 1923:Mar. 27)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1923

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
'Capture & Concentration' Surfaces for the Isolation of Bacteria from Biological Samples
Creators: name: Mooney, Benjamin J.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: With the emergence of antimicrobial resistant organisms, effective treatment of infection is increasingly reliant on the timely and accurate provision of microbiology results to clinicians. Current practice is heavily reliant on the bacterial culture methods, where the growth of the organism enables analysis to proceed. Where the organism is not able to be grown no results can be provided to the clinician. This research describes the use of surface engineering technologies to fabricate carbohydrate modified surfaces for the capture of bacteria directly from biological samples. These have the potential to speed up the provision of accurate results to clinicians.

description: Let $G$ be an infinite countable discrete amenable group. For any $G$-action on a compact metric space $X$, it is proved that for any sequence $(G_n)_{n\ge 1}$ consisting of non-empty finite subsets of $G$ with $\lim_{n\to \infty}|G_n|=\infty$, Pinsker $σ$-algebra is a characteristic factor for $(G_n)_{n\ge 1}$. As a consequence, for a class of $G$-topological dynamical systems, positive topological entropy implies mean Li-Yorke chaos along a class of sequences consisting of non-empty finite subsets of $G$.

description: In this paper, we present an efficient and effective single-stage framework (DiverGAN) to generate diverse, plausible and semantically consistent images according to a natural-language description. DiverGAN adopts two novel word-level attention modules, i.e., a channel-attention module (CAM) and a pixel-attention module (PAM), which model the importance of each word in the given sentence while allowing the network to assign larger weights to the significant channels and pixels semantically aligning with the salient words. After that, Conditional Adaptive Instance-Layer Normalization (CAdaILN) is introduced to enable the linguistic cues from the sentence embedding to flexibly manipulate the amount of change in shape and texture, further improving visual-semantic representation and helping stabilize the training. Also, a dual-residual structure is developed to preserve more original visual features while allowing for deeper networks, resulting in faster convergence speed and more vivid details. Furthermore, we propose to plug a fully-connected layer into the pipeline to address the lack-of-diversity problem, since we observe that a dense layer will remarkably enhance the generative capability of the network, balancing the trade-off between a low-dimensional random latent code contributing to variants and modulation modules that use high-dimensional and textual contexts to strength feature maps. Inserting a linear layer after the second residual block achieves the best variety and quality. Both qualitative and quantitative results on benchmark data sets demonstrate the superiority of our DiverGAN for realizing diversity, without harming quality and semantic consistency.

description: This paper studies the third-order characteristic of nonsingular discrete memoryless channels and the Gaussian channel with a maximal-power constraint. The third-order term in our expansions employs a new quantity here called the channel skewness, which affects the approximation accuracy more significantly as the error probability decreases. For the Gaussian channel, evaluating Shannon's 1959 random coding bound and Vazquez-Vilar's 2021 meta-converse bound in the central limit theorem (CLT) regime enables exact computation of the channel skewness. For discrete memoryless channels, this work generalizes Moulin's 2017 bounds on the asymptotic expansion of the maximum achievable message set size for nonsingular channels from the CLT regime to include the moderate deviations (MD) regime, thereby refining Altuğ and Wagner's 2014 MD result. For an example binary symmetric channel and most practically important $(n, ε)$ pairs, including $n \in [100, 500]$ and $ε\in [10^{-10}, 10^{-1}]$, an approximation up to the channel skewness is the most accurate among several expansions in the literature. A derivation of the third-order term in the type-II error exponent of binary hypothesis testing in the MD regime is also included; the resulting third-order term is similar to the channel skewness.

description: Based on the superconformal algebra we construct a dual operator that introduces a grading among bosonic generators independent of the boson/fermion grading of the superalgebra. This dual operator allows us to construct an action that is gauge invariant under the grading even bosonic generators. We provide a self-dual notion based on the dual operator. We use the definition of the dual operator to contruct a model with gauge invariance $SO(1,3)\times SU(N) \times U(1) \subset SU(2,2|N)$. The choice of a graded dual operator allows us to overcome technical difficulties of $U(N)$ unified theories based on the superconformal group. The gravity action reproduces the Einstein-Hilbert action in certain sector of the theory. The definition of the dual operator allows us to include fermionic matter in the gauge connection in a geometric manner. We give a summary with possible phenomenological parameters that are included in the model.

description: Detailed investigations of time series features across climates, continents and variable types can progress our understanding and modelling ability of the Earth's hydroclimate and its dynamics. They can also improve our comprehension of the climate classification systems appearing in their core. Still, such investigations for seasonal hydroclimatic temporal dependence, variability and change are currently missing from the literature. Herein, we propose and apply at the global scale a methodological framework for filling this specific gap. We analyse over 13 000 earth-observed quarterly temperature, precipitation and river flow time series. We adopt the Koppen-Geiger climate classification system and define continental-scale geographical regions for conducting upon them seasonal hydroclimatic feature summaries. The analyses rely on three sample autocorrelation features, a temporal variation feature, a spectral entropy feature, a Hurst feature, a trend strength feature and a seasonality strength feature. We find notable differences to characterize the magnitudes of these features across the various Koppen-Geiger climate classes, as well as between continental-scale geographical regions. We, therefore, deem that the consideration of the comparative summaries could be beneficial in water resources engineering contexts. Lastly, we apply explainable machine learning to compare the investigated features with respect to how informative they are in distinguishing either the main Koppen-Geiger climates or the continental-scale regions. In this regard, the sample autocorrelation, temporal variation and seasonality strength features are found to be more informative than the spectral entropy, Hurst and trend strength features at the seasonal time scale.

description: The ruthenate family of layered perovskites has been a topic of intense interest with much work dedicated to understanding the superconducting state of the single layer, Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. Another longstanding puzzle is the lack of superconductivity in its sister compound, Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$, which constrains the possible superconducting mechanisms of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. Here we address a microscopic mechanism that unifies superconducting and spin-density wave order in this family of materials. Beginning from a model of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ featuring intraband pseudospin-singlet superconductivity originating from interorbital spin-triplet pairing via Hund's and spin-orbit couplings, the addition of bilayer coupling and staggered rotations of the oxygen octahedra are investigated. We find that the bilayer coupling alone enhances superconductivity, while staggered rotations destroy interorbital superconductivity, leaving a paramagnetic metal. The magnetic field then shifts van Hove singularities near the Fermi level, allowing intraorbital SDW order to form in the bilayer. Our theory predicts that bilayer Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ without staggered rotations exhibits interorbital superconductivity with a possibly higher transition temperature.

description: We revisit the problem of small Bjorken-$x$ evolution of the gluon and flavor-singlet quark helicity distributions in the shock wave ($s$-channel) formalism. Earlier works on the subject in the same framework resulted in an evolution equation for the gluon field-strength $F^{12}$ and quark "axial current" ${\barψ}γ^+γ^5ψ$ operators (sandwiched between the appropriate light-cone Wilson lines) in the double-logarithmic approximation (DLA: summing powers of $α_s\,\ln^2(1/x)$ with $α_s$ the strong coupling constant). In this work, we observe that an important mixing of the above operators with another gluon operator, $\overleftarrow{D}^i\,{D}^i$, also sandwiched between the light-cone Wilson lines (with the repeated index $i=1,2$ summed over), was missing in the previous works. This operator has the physical meaning of the sub-eikonal (covariant) phase: its contribution to helicity evolution is shown to be proportional to another sub-eikonal operator, $D^i-\overleftarrow{D}^i$, which is related to the Jaffe-Manohar polarized gluon distribution. In this work we include this operator into small-$x$ helicity evolution, and construct a novel evolution mixing all three operators ($D^i-\overleftarrow{D}^i$, $F^{12}$, and ${\barψ}γ^+γ^5ψ$), generalizing the previous results. We also construct closed DLA evolution equations in the large-$N_c$ and large-$N_c\& N_f$ limits, with $N_c$ and $N_f$ the numbers of quark colors and flavors, respectively. Solving the large-$N_c$ equations numerically we obtain the following small-$x$ asymptotics of the quark and gluon helicity distributions $ΔΣ$ and $ΔG$, along with the $g_1$ structure function, \[ΔΣ(x,Q^2)\simΔG(x,Q^2)\sim g_1(x,Q^2)\sim\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{3.66\,\sqrt{\frac{α_s\,N_c}{2π}}},\] in complete agreement with the earlier work by Bartels, Ermolaev and Ryskin.

description: The information content of the minimum spanning tree (MST), used to capture higher-order statistics and information from the cosmic web, is compared to that of the power spectrum for a $νΛ$CDM model. The measurements are made in redshift space using haloes from the Quijote simulation of mass $\geq 3.2\times 10^{13}\,h^{-1}{\rm M}_{\odot}$ in a box of length $L_{\rm box}=1\,h^{-1}{\rm Gpc}$. The power spectrum multipoles (monopole and quadrupole) are computed for Fourier modes in the range $0.006 < k < 0.5\, h{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. For comparison the MST is measured with a minimum length scale of $l_{\min}\simeq13\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. Combining the MST and power spectrum allows for many of the individual degeneracies to be broken; on its own the MST provides tighter constraints on the sum of neutrino masses $M_ν$ and cosmological parameters $h$, $n_{\rm s}$, and $Ω_{\rm b}$ but the power spectrum alone provides tighter constraints on $Ω_{\rm m}$ and $σ_{8}$. Combined we find constraints that are a factor of two (or greater) on all parameters with respect to the power spectrum (for $M_ν$ there is a factor of four improvement). These improvements appear to be driven by the MST's sensitivity to small scale clustering, where the effect of neutrino free-streaming becomes relevant, and high-order statistical information in the cosmic web. The MST is shown to be a powerful tool for cosmology and neutrino mass studies, and therefore could play a pivotal role in ongoing and future galaxy redshift surveys (such as DES, DESI, \emph{Euclid}, and Rubin-LSST).

description: As primary medical care for spinal cord injury (SCI) has improved over the last decades there are more individuals living with neurologically incomplete (vs. complete) cervical injuries. For these individuals, a number of promising therapies are being actively researched in pre-clinical settings that seek to strengthen the remaining spinal pathways with a view to improve motor function. To date, few, if any, of these interventions have been tested for their effectiveness to improve autonomic and cardiovascular (CV) function. As a first step to testing such therapies, we aimed to develop a model that has sufficient sparing of descending sympathetic pathways for these interventions to target yet induces robust CV impairment. Twenty-six Wistar rats were assigned to SCI (n = 13) or naïve (n = 13) groups. Animals were injured at the T3 spinal segment with 300 kdyn of force. Fourteen days post-SCI, left ventricular (LV) and arterial catheterization was performed to assess in vivo cardiac and hemodynamic function. Spinal cord lesion characteristics along with sparing in catecholaminergic and serotonergic projections were determined via immunohistochemistry. SCI produced a decrease in mean arterial pressure of 17 ± 3 mmHg (p < 0.001) and left ventricular contractility (end-systolic elastance) of 0.7 ± 0.1 mmHg/µL (p < 0.001). Our novel SCI model produced significant decreases in cardiac and hemodynamic function while preserving 33 ± 9% of white matter at the injury epicenter, which we believe makes it a useful pre-clinical model of SCI to study rehabilitation approaches designed to induce neuroplasticity.

Several males and females were collected from a Malaise trap on Lesvos Island, north of Agiásos, 450 m a.s.l. in April, and from June to September 2005 (new record for the Northern Aegean islands). The species was regularly observed in Crete (for several years from April to August), and most recently, three specimens were observed in mid-July 2023 on a window of a laboratory of Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH) near Heraklion. Two specimens were collected on Cyprus in the northern outskirts of the village of Pano Panagia, 600 m a.s.l., from a Malaise trap at the edge of an old natural olive grove, one in early June, another in mid-September 1995. This species seems to be rare in Cyprus, no other specimens were seen or collected on numerous trips (new record for Cyprus). Two specimens were collected by V. Kravchenko in Israel, in the Upper Galilee, Mt. Meron, 800 m a.s.l., in mid-May 2017, in a light trap (new record for Israel and the Levant).

description: Survival analysis is a fundamental area of focus in biomedical research, particularly in the context of personalized medicine. This prominence is due to the increasing prevalence of large and high-dimensional datasets, such as omics and medical image data. However, the literature on non-linear regression algorithms and variable selection techniques for interval-censoring is either limited or non-existent, particularly in the context of neural networks. Our objective is to introduce a novel predictive framework tailored for interval-censored regression tasks, rooted in Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) models. Our strategy comprises two key components: i) a variable selection phase leveraging recent advances on sparse neural network architectures, ii) a regression model targeting prediction of the interval-censored response. To assess the performance of our novel algorithm, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation through both numerical experiments and real-world applications that encompass scenarios related to diabetes and physical activity. Our results outperform traditional AFT algorithms, particularly in scenarios featuring non-linear relationships.

description: Tensor networks (TNs) have become one of the most essential building blocks for various fields of theoretical physics such as condensed matter theory, statistical mechanics, quantum information, and quantum gravity. This review provides a unified description of a series of developments in the TN from the statistical mechanics side. In particular, we begin with the variational principle for the transfer matrix of the 2D Ising model, which naturally leads us to the matrix product state (MPS) and the corner transfer matrix (CTM). We then explain how the CTM can be evolved to such MPS-based approaches as density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and infinite time-evolved block decimation. We also elucidate that the finite-size DMRG played an intrinsic role for incorporating various quantum information concepts in subsequent developments in the TN. After surveying higher-dimensional generalizations like tensor product states or projected entangled pair states, we describe tensor renormalization groups (TRGs), which are a fusion of TNs and Kadanoff-Wilson type real-space renormalization groups, focusing on their fixed point structures. We then discuss how the difficulty in TRGs for critical systems can be overcome in the tensor network renormalization and the multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz.

The analysis must pass through some key observations regarding solutions to the very weak Monge-Ampère equation.

description: This paper proposes an eco-driving framework for electric connected vehicles (CVs) based on reinforcement learning (RL) to improve vehicle energy efficiency at signalized intersections. The vehicle agent is specified by integrating the model-based car-following policy, lane-changing policy, and the RL policy, to ensure safe operation of a CV. Subsequently, a Markov Decision Process (MDP) is formulated, which enables the vehicle to perform longitudinal control and lateral decisions, jointly optimizing the car-following and lane-changing behaviors of the CVs in the vicinity of intersections. Then, the hybrid action space is parameterized as a hierarchical structure and thereby trains the agents with two-dimensional motion patterns in a dynamic traffic environment. Finally, our proposed methods are evaluated in SUMO software from both a single-vehicle-based perspective and a flow-based perspective. The results show that our strategy can significantly reduce energy consumption by learning proper action schemes without any interruption of other human-driven vehicles (HDVs).

description: Epoxy resins are the most commonly used adhesives in industry due to their versatility, low cost, low toxicity, low shrinkage, high strength, resistance to moisture, and effective electrical resistance. These diverse properties can be tailored based on the chemical structure of the curing agent and the conditions of the curing process. Molecular simulations of epoxy resins have gained attention in recent years as a means to navigate the vast choice of chemical agents and conditions that will give the required properties of the resin. This work examines the statistical uncertainty in predicting thermodynamic and mechanical properties of an industrial epoxy resin using united atom molecular dynamics simulation. The results are compared with experimental measurements of the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and the glass transition temperature obtained at different temperatures and degrees of curing. The decreasing trend of the elastic modulus with increasing temperature is accurately captured by the simulated model, though the uncertainty in the calculated average is large. The glass transition temperature is expectedly overpredicted due to the high rates accessible to molecular simulations. We find that Poisson’s ratio is particularly sensitive to sample anisotropy as well as the method of evaluation, which explains the lack of consistent trends previously observed with molecular simulation at different degrees of crosslinking and temperatures.

description: Communication over a quantum multiple-access channel (MAC) with cribbing encoders is considered, whereby Transmitter 2 performs a measurement on a system that is entangled with Transmitter 1. Based on the no-cloning theorem, perfect cribbing is impossible. This leads to the introduction of a MAC model with noisy cribbing. In the causal and non-causal cribbing scenarios, Transmitter 2 performs the measurement before the input of Transmitter 1 is sent through the channel. Hence, Transmitter 2's cribbing may inflict a "state collapse" for Transmitter 1. Achievable regions are derived for each setting. Furthermore, a regularized capacity characterization is established for robust cribbing, i.e. when the cribbing system contains all the information of the channel input. Building on the analogy between the noisy cribbing model and the relay channel, a partial decode-forward region is derived for a quantum MAC with non-robust cribbing. For the classical-quantum MAC with cribbing encoders, the capacity region is determined with perfect cribbing of the classical input, and a cutset region is derived for noisy cribbing. In the special case of a classical-quantum MAC with a deterministic cribbing channel, the inner and outer bounds coincide.

description: Energy consumption associated with transport is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. As the information economy expands, the potential to use broadband to eliminate a percentage of daily trips grows. In particular, broadband can make it possible for a percentage of the workforce to work effectively and efficiently from home on at least one or two days a week. This paper explores key economic and environmental benefits of a hypothetical 5% reduction in daily trips. Using a simulation model to assess the impact on traffic flows indicates that such a reduction would result in a 5.6% reduction in greenhouse emissions in Canberra, a low-congestion city, and 17% in Sydney. It would also result in savings of 5.54% in road maintenance, accidents, motorists' time and fuel costs or about $145 million annually or $1,000 per household by 2011. In Sydney these would be 10.5% or $5 billion annually or $3,300 per household.

description: The difference graph $D(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the difference of enhanced power graph of $G$ and power graph of $G$, with all isolated vertices are removed. In this paper we study the connectedness and perfectness of $D(G)$ with respect to various properties of the underlying group $G$. We also find several connection between the difference graph of $G$ and the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of $G$.

description: The feasibility of making profitable trades on a single asset on stock exchanges based on patterns identification has long attracted researchers. Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Natural Language Processing have gained notoriety in these single-asset trading tasks, but only a few works have explored their combination. Moreover, some issues are still not addressed, such as extracting market sentiment momentum through the explicit capture of sentiment features that reflect the market condition over time and assessing the consistency and stability of RL results in different situations. Filling this gap, we propose the Sentiment-Aware RL (SentARL) intelligent trading system that improves profit stability by leveraging market mood through an adaptive amount of past sentiment features drawn from textual news. We evaluated SentARL across twenty assets, two transaction costs, and five different periods and initializations to show its consistent effectiveness against baselines. Subsequently, this thorough assessment allowed us to identify the boundary between news coverage and market sentiment regarding the correlation of price-time series above which SentARL's effectiveness is outstanding.

description: Suppose $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ is an $n$-exangulated category. We show that the idempotent completion and the weak idempotent completion of $\mathcal{C}$ are again $n$-exangulated categories. Furthermore, we also show that the canonical inclusion functor of $\mathcal{C}$ into its (resp. weak) idempotent completion is $n$-exangulated and $2$-universal among $n$-exangulated functors from $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ to (resp. weakly) idempotent complete $n$-exangulated categories. Furthermore, we prove that if $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ is $n$-exact, then so too is its (resp. weak) idempotent completion. We note that our methods of proof differ substantially from the extriangulated and $(n+2)$-angulated cases. However, our constructions recover the known structures in the established cases up to $n$-exangulated isomorphism of $n$-exangulated categories.
