description: We investigate Kato's method for parabolic equations with a quadratic non-linearity in an abstract form. We extract several properties known from linear systems theory which turn out to be the essential ingredients for the method. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for these conditions and provide new and more general proofs, based on real interpolation. In application to the Navier-Stokes equations, our approach unifies several results known in the literature, partly with different proofs. Moreover, we establish new existence and uniqueness results for rough initial data on arbitrary domains in ${\mathbb R}^3$ and irregular domains in ${\mathbb R}^n$.

description: This paper by German military analyst Lutz Unterseher first assesses the relative conventional military power and potential of North and South Korea, then suggests a number of military restructuring steps the U.S. and South Korea can take to reassure North Korea of its security in the context of denuclearization. Unterseher calls for “…a genuine structural change, shifting the capabilities of the [allied] forces in the direction of a stable, non-provocative defense.”

Lipurometriocnemus

description: Lipurometriocnemus
- Four species were collected, three of them undescribed. Lipurometriocnemus was first described from the British West Indies by Saether (1981), with L. glabalus as the sole species. Saether (1982) then described L. vixlobatus from South Carolina, USA. The two species were supposedly separated by the absence of setae on R 1, a weak inferior volsella and a “slight hump on tergite IX representing a reduced anal point” in L. vixlobatus. Cranston & Oliver (1988) reported L. vixlobatus from the Yukon Territory of Canada, and examined paratypes of L. glabalus and a single specimen (which they thought to also represent L. glabalus) from Braulio Carillo National Park in Costa Rica (the Zurquí site is adjacent to a portion of the huge park). They noted that the two species were difficult to separate because of variation in the supposedly diagnostic characters, but gave no reason why they assigned the Yukon specimen to vixlobatus, which following its description should lack any setae on R 1, instead of assigning it to L. glabalus. I noted such variation in the volsellae and “anal hump” in the Zurquí material I’ve designated as L. glabalus; there was variation in the length/ breadth of the gonostylus but much appeared due to the viewing angle. I saw no specimens in which R 1 was devoid of setae and considered all material I put in this group to be L. glabalus (63 specimens).
My L. sp. ZUR–1(eight specimens) has genitalia similar to those of L. glabalus but has a very low AR (~0.32–0.58) compared to what is being called L. glabalus today (following Cranston & Oliver 1988 and Andersen et al. 2016). In Saether’s (1981) original description of L. glabalus, all of the type material lacked antennae, but it is now apparently assumed that the species has an AR similar to that of L. vixlobatus – around 1.60–1.75. Zurquí material of L. glabalus had ARs> 1.70.
My L. sp. ZUR–2 (36 specimens) has an AR around 1.76–1.85 and genitalia very similar to those of L. glabalus, except the proximal portion of the gonostylus bears a hump that separates it from that of L. glabalus. Further work (i.e., measurements of other body parts, etc.) may show this taxon may also belong with L. glabalus.
My L. sp. ZUR–3 (two specimens) has an AR of about 1.0 or less and has a distinctively pronounced inferior volsella. Andersen et al. (2016) described two new Lipurometriocnemus species from Brazil and provided a key for the known species. Their L. biancae has a pronounced inferior volsella, but not the same as L. sp. ZUR–3, and an AR of 1.29-1.45. Their L. amazonicus (AR 1.23–1.45) is very similar to L. glabalus, but has fewer dorsocentral setae.

Microphase morphology in two dimensional fluids under lateral confinement

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study the effects of confinement between two parallel walls on a two dimensional fluid with competing interactions which lead to the formation of particle micro-domains at the thermodynamic equilibrium (microphases or microseparation). The possibility to induce structural changes of the morphology of the micro-domains is explored, under different confinement conditions and temperatures. In presence of neutral walls, a switch from stripes of particles to circular clusters (droplets) occurs as the temperature decreases, which does not happen in bulk. While the passage from droplets to stripes, as the density increases, is a well known phenomenon, the change of the stripes into droplets as an effect of temperature is rather unexpected. Depending on the wall separation and on the wall-fluid interaction parameters, the stripes can switch from parallel to perpendicular to the walls and also a mixed morphology can be stable.

description: Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of isolated stellar binaries under a set of parametrized assumptions in order to allow comparisons against observational data sets, such as those coming from gravitational-wave observations of merging compact remnants. It includes a number of tools for population processing in addition to the core binary evolution components. COMPAS is publicly available via the github repository https://github.com/TeamCOMPAS/COMPAS/, and is designed to allow for flexible modifications as evolutionary models improve. This paper describes the methodology and implementation of COMPAS. It is a living document which will be updated as new features are added to COMPAS; the current document describes COMPAS v02.21.00.

description: Quantum theory of the gravitation in the causal approach is studied up to the second order of perturbation theory. We prove gauge invariance and renormalizability in the second order of perturbation theory for the pure gravity system (massless and massive). Then we investigate the interaction of massless gravity with matter (described by scalars and spinors) and massless Yang-Mills fields. We obtain a difference with respect to the classical field theory due to the fact that in quantum field theory one cannot enforce the divergenceless property on the vector potential and this spoils the divergenceless property of the usual energy-momentum tensor. To correct this one needs a supplementary ghost term in the interaction Lagrangian.

description: The odd reflections are an effective tool in the Lie superalgebra representation theory, as they relate non-conjugate Borel subalgebras. We introduce analogues of the odd reflections for the Yangian ${\rm Y}({\frak gl}_{m|n})$ and use them to produce a transition rule for the parameters of the highest weight modules corresponding to a change of the parity sequence. This leads to a description of the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Yangian associated with an arbitrary parity sequence.

description: Properties of single heavy flavor baryons in a non relativistic potential model with colour coulomb plus power law confinement potential have been studied. The ground state masses of single heavy baryons and the mass difference between the ($J^{P}={3/2}^{+}$ and $J^{P}={1/2}^{+}$) states are computed using a spin dependent two body potential. Using the spin-flavour structure of the constituting quarks and by defining an effective confined mass of the constituent quarks within the baryons, the magnetic moments are computed. The masses and magnetic moments of the single heavy baryons are found to be in accordance with the existing experimental values and with other theoretical predictions. It is found that an additional attractive interaction of the order of -200 Me$V$ is required for the antisymmetric states of $Λ_{Q}$ (Q$\in c,b)$. It is also found that the spin hyperfine interaction parameters play decisive role in hadron spectroscopy.

description: We study the physical processes involved in the potential influence of Amazon (AM) hydroclimatology over the Tropical North Atlantic (TNA) Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) at interannual timescales, by analyzing time series of the precipitation index (P-E) over AM, as well as the surface atmospheric pressure gradient between both regions, and TNA SSTs. We use a recurrence joint probability based analysis that accounts for the lagged nonlinear dependency between time series, which also allows quantifying the statistical significance, based on a twin surrogates technique of the recurrence analysis. By means of such nonlinear dependence analysis we find that at interannual timescales AM hydrology influences future states of the TNA SSTs from 0 to 2 months later with a 90% to 95% statistical confidence. It also unveils the existence of two-way feedback mechanisms between the variables involved in the processes: (i) precipitation over AM leads the atmospheric pressure gradient between TNA and AM from 0 and 2 month lags, (ii) the pressure gradient leads the trade zonal winds over the TNA from 0 to 3 months and from 7 to 12 months, (iii) the zonal winds lead the SSTs from 0 to 3 months, and (iv) the SSTs lead precipitation over AM by 1 month lag. The analyses were made for time series spanning from 1979 to 2008, and for extreme precipitation events in the AM during the years 1999, 2005, 2009 and 2010. We also evaluated the monthly mean conditions of the relevant variables during the extreme AM droughts of 1963, 1980, 1983, 1997, 1998, 2005, and 2010, and also during the floods of 1989, 1999, and 2009. Our results confirm that the Amazon River basin acts as a land surface-atmosphere bridge that links the Tropical Pacific and TNA SSTs at interannual timescales. ...
Multi-channel homomorphic wavelet estimation
Creators: name: Lane, Mark Christopher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Wavelet estimation can be posed as a multi-channel common information problem. Each channel of data is modeled as the convolution of a wavelet with an impulse sequence. A homomorphic transform maps the data from a convolutional to an additive space. The mapping may also effect partial separation of wavelet and impulses. In the additive space the wavelet can be estimated using averaging. This is termed cepstral averaging. This thesis reviews the homomorphic transform and provides a synthesis and comparison of the techniques available for its realization. The method of principal components for wavelet estimation is proposed as an alternative to cepstral averaging. The effect of noise on this method is investigated. The investigation shows that noise may cause principal components to produce estimates which are inferior to cepstral averaging. For these cases an alternate solution is proposed in which principal components are used in the original convolutional space. A wavelet is estimated by homomorphic separation for each data channel. Principal components may then be used to define a best estimate from this suite of estimates.

Lithium depletion and angular momentum transport in F-type and G-type stars in Galactic open clusters

description: Open clusters provide clues to understand the evolution of Li7 at the surface of low-mass stars and its possible correlation with stellar rotation, which is a challenge for both stellar hydrodynamics and Galactic chemical evolution. We aim to quantify the efficiency of the transport processes for both angular momentum and chemicals that are required to explain simultaneously the observed behaviour of surface Li7 and rotation as well as the internal rotation profiles inferred from helio- and asteroseismology in F- and G-type main sequence stars. We apply the model for the transport of angular momentum and chemicals that we tailored in a previous work for solar-type stars to an extended range of initial masses and metallicities corresponding to F- an G-type stars in a sample of 20 Galactic open clusters. We evaluate its ability to explain the Li7, Be9, and rotation periods observations. Over the entire range of masses, metallicities, and ages explored, we reproduce the evolution of the surface rotation rates and predict, for the first time, the observed anti-correlation between the surface rotation rate and Li7 depletion as a consequence of the penetrative convection prescription. However, the ability of the model to reproduce the so-called Li7 dip centred around 6600K strongly depends on the adopted prescriptions for shear turbulence. It also requires a stellar mass dependence for the viscosity adopted for the transport of angular momentum, similar to the behaviour predicted for the generation and luminosity of internal gravity waves generated by stellar convective envelopes. We provide an efficient way to model G-type stars of different ages and metallicities successfully. However, the Li7 and Be9 dip constraints call for further hydrodynamical studies to better model turbulence in stars.

description: This paper presents a novel approach to automated playtesting for the prediction of human player behavior and experience. It has previously been demonstrated that Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) game-playing agents can predict both game difficulty and player engagement, operationalized as average pass and churn rates. We improve this approach by enhancing DRL with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). We also motivate an enhanced selection strategy for predictor features, based on the observation that an AI agent's best-case performance can yield stronger correlations with human data than the agent's average performance. Both additions consistently improve the prediction accuracy, and the DRL-enhanced MCTS outperforms both DRL and vanilla MCTS in the hardest levels. We conclude that player modelling via automated playtesting can benefit from combining DRL and MCTS. Moreover, it can be worthwhile to investigate a subset of repeated best AI agent runs, if AI gameplay does not yield good predictions on average.

description: Sex is considered as an evolutionary paradox, since its evolutionary advantage does not necessarily overcome the two fold cost of sharing half of one's offspring's genome with another member of the population. Here we demonstrate that sexual reproduction can be evolutionary stable even when its Darwinian fitness is twice as low when compared to the fitness of asexual mutants. We also show that more than two sexes are always evolutionary unstable. Our approach generalizes the evolutionary game theory to analyze species whose members are able to sense the sexual state of their conspecifics and to switch sexes consequently. The widespread emergence and maintenance of sex follows therefore from its co-evolution with even more widespread environmental sensing abilities.

description: Ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for four-quark states produced by photon-photon fusion in these collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.5~{\rm TeV}$. In particular, we focus on those states that would represent a definite smoking gun for the compact tetraquark model. We show that the $X(6900)$, a likely $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ compact state, is a perfect candidate for this search, and estimate a production cross section ranging from around $250$ nb to $1150$ nb, depending on its quantum numbers. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of ultra-peripheral collisions to the search for the scalar and tensor partners of the $X(3872)$ predicted by the diquarkonium model, and not yet observed. The completion of such a flavor-spin multiplet would strongly speak in favor of the compact tetraquark model.

description: This study investigates the consequences of Lorentz symmetry violation in the thermodynamics and gravitational lensing of charged black holes coupled to the Kalb-Ramond field. We first explore the impact of Lorentz-violating parameters on key thermodynamic properties, including the Hawking temperature, entropy, and specific heat, demonstrating significant deviations from their Lorentz-symmetric counterparts. Our analysis reveals that the Lorentz-violating parameter b induces modifications in phase transitions and stability conditions, offering novel insights into black hole thermodynamics. Additionally, the influence of Lorentz symmetry breaking on gravitational lensing is examined using modifications to the Rindler-Ishak method, showing that these effects enhance the bending of light near compact objects. Our findings, derived within the framework of the standard model extension and bumblebee gravity models, suggest that Lorentz-violating corrections could lead to observable astrophysical phenomena, providing potential tests for deviations from Einstein's theory of relativity.

description: Force-induced deformations of a self-avoiding chain confined inside a cylindrical cavity, with diameter $D$, are probed using molecular dynamics simulations, scaling analysis, and analytical calculations. We obtain and confirm a simple scaling relation $-f \cdot D \sim R^{-9/4}$ in the strong-compression regime, while for weak deformations we find $f \cdot D = -A(R/R_0) + B (R/R_0)^{-2}$, where $A$ and $B$ are constants, $f$ the external force, and $R$ the chain extension (with $R_0$ its unperturbed value). For a strong stretch, we present a universal, analytical force-extension relation. Our results can be used to analyze the behavior of biomolecules in confinement.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a cancellation of back-action noise in optical measurements. Back-action cancellation was first proposed within the framework of gravitational-wave detection by dual resonators as a way to drastically improve their sensitivity. We have developed an experiment based on a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity to study radiation-pressure effects in ultra-sensitive displacement measurements. Using an intensity-modulated intracavity field to mimic the quantum radiation-pressure noise, we report the first observation of back-action cancellation due to a destructive interference between radiation-pressure effects on both mirrors of the cavity. We have observed a sensitivity improvement by a factor larger than 20 both in displacement and weak force measurements.

description: We apply quantum continuum mechanics to the calculation of the excitation spectrum of a coupled electron-hole bilayer. The theory expresses excitation energies in terms of ground-state intra- and inter-layer pair correlation functions, which are available from Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The final formulas for the collective modes deduced from this approach coincide with the formulas obtained in the "quasi-localized particle approximation" by Kalman et al., and likewise, the theory predicts the existence of gapped excitations in the charged channels, with the gap arising from electron-hole correlation. An immediate consequence of the gap is that the static density-density response function of the charged channel vanishes as $q^2$ for wave vector $q \to 0$, rather than linearly in $q$, as commonly expected. In this sense, the system is {\it incompressible}. This feature, which has no analogue in the classical electron-hole plasma, is consistent with the existence of an excitonic ground state and implies the existence of a discontinuity in the chemical potential of electrons and holes when the numbers of electrons and holes are equal. It should be experimentally observable by monitoring the densities of electrons and holes in response to potentials that attempt to change these densities in opposite directions.

Seismotectonics of British Columbia
Creators: name: Rogers, Garry Colin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A comprehensive seismotectonic model is developed to explain the seismicity of British Columbia. In order to do this extensive revisions are made to location and magnitude parameters in the Canadian Earthquake Data File. Fault plane solutions are calculated for all earthquakes possible and all mechanisms previously calculated are examined and upgraded where necessary. It is proposed that the subcrustal suite of earthquakes in the Puget Sound and southern Vancouver Island region are a result of strain caused by phase changes in the descending oceanic lithosphere of the subducting Juan de Fuca plate. The crustal earthquakes above the deeper seismicity can be explained with an oblique subduction model. The distribution of seismicity, the amount of seismicity and the focal mechanisms support these interpretations. The large earthquakes of central Vancouver Island are probably a result of the interaction of the Explorer Plate with the overriding America Plate. In the southern Queen Charlotte Islands thrusting components in the fault plane solutions confirm there is an element of convergence across the pacific/America boundary in this region. The distribution of seismicity suggests all relative plate motion is presently occurring along the Queen Charlotte fault. The Quaternary volcanoes of British Columbia show little correlation with the seismicity pattern except for the eastern end of the Anahim volcanic belt.
Warping Away Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Discs

description: We perform 3D SPH simulations of warped, non-coplanar gravitationally unstable discs to show that as the warp propagates through the self-gravitating disc, it heats up the disc rendering it gravitationally stable. Thus losing their spiral structure and appearing completely axisymmetric. In their youth, protoplanetary discs are expected to be massive and self-gravitating, which results in non-axisymmetric spiral structures. However recent observations of young protoplanetary discs with ALMA have revealed that discs with large-scale spiral structure are rarely observed in the midplane. Instead, axisymmetric discs with some also having ring & gap structures are more commonly observed. Our work invloving warps, non-coplanar disc structures that are expected to commonly occur in young discs, potentially resolves this discrepancy between observations and theoretical predictions. We demonstrate that they are able to suppress the large-scale spiral structure of self-gravitating protoplanetary discs.

description: Many mobile apps are inaccessible, thereby excluding people from their potential benefits. Existing rule-based accessibility checkers aim to mitigate these failures by identifying errors early during development but are constrained in the types of errors they can detect. We present ScreenAudit, an LLM-powered system designed to traverse mobile app screens, extract metadata and transcripts, and identify screen reader accessibility errors overlooked by existing checkers. We recruited six accessibility experts including one screen reader user to evaluate ScreenAudit's reports across 14 unique app screens. Our findings indicate that ScreenAudit achieves an average coverage of 69.2%, compared to only 31.3% with a widely-used accessibility checker. Expert feedback indicated that ScreenAudit delivered higher-quality feedback and addressed more aspects of screen reader accessibility compared to existing checkers, and that ScreenAudit would benefit app developers in real-world settings.

description: Knowledge Graph (KG) and attention mechanism have been demonstrated effective in introducing and selecting useful information for weakly supervised methods. However, only qualitative analysis and ablation study are provided as evidence. In this paper, we contribute a dataset and propose a paradigm to quantitatively evaluate the effect of attention and KG on bag-level relation extraction (RE). We find that (1) higher attention accuracy may lead to worse performance as it may harm the model's ability to extract entity mention features; (2) the performance of attention is largely influenced by various noise distribution patterns, which is closely related to real-world datasets; (3) KG-enhanced attention indeed improves RE performance, while not through enhanced attention but by incorporating entity prior; and (4) attention mechanism may exacerbate the issue of insufficient training data. Based on these findings, we show that a straightforward variant of RE model can achieve significant improvements (6% AUC on average) on two real-world datasets as compared with three state-of-the-art baselines. Our codes and datasets are available at https://github.com/zig-kwin-hu/how-KG-ATT-help.

description: Using the NIRSPEC spectrograph at Keck II, we have obtained infrared echelle spectra covering the 1.5-1.8 micron range for giant stars in the massive bulge globular clusters NGC6440 and NGC6441. We report the first high dispersion abundance for NGC6440, [Fe/H]=-0.56+/-0.02 and we find [Fe/H]=-0.50+/-0.02 for the blue HB cluster NGC6441. We measure an average $α$-enhancement of ~+0.3 dex in both clusters, consistent with previous measurements of other metal rich bulge clusters, and favoring the scenario of a rapid bulge formation and chemical enrichment. We also measure very low 12C/13C isotopic ratios (~5+/- 1), suggesting that extra-mixing mechanisms are at work during evolution along the Red Giant Branch also in the high metallicity regime. We also measure Al abundances, finding average [Al/Fe]=0.45+/-0.02 and [Al/Fe]=0.52+/-0.02 in NGC6440 and NGC6441, respectively, and some Mg-Al anti-correlation in NGC6441. We also measure radial velocities vr=-76+/-3 km/s and vr=+14+/-3 km/s and velocity dispersions sigma=9+/-2 km/s and sigma=10+/-2 km/s, in NGC6440 and NGC6441, respectively.

Three simple scenarios for high-dimensional sphere packings

description: Based on results from the physics and mathematics literature which suggest a series of clearly defined conjectures, we formulate three simple scenarios for the fate of hard sphere crystallization in high dimension: (A) crystallization is impeded and the glass phase constitutes the densest packing, (B) crystallization from the liquid is possible, but takes place much beyond the dynamical glass transition and is thus dynamically implausible, or (C) crystallization is possible and takes place before (or just after) dynamical arrest, thus making it plausibly accessible from the liquid state. In order to assess the underlying conjectures and thus obtain insight into which scenario is most likely to be realized, we investigate the densest sphere packings in dimension $d=3$-$10$ using cell-cluster expansions as well as numerical simulations. These resulting estimates of the crystal entropy near close-packing tend to support scenario C. We additionally confirm that the crystal equation of state is dominated by the free volume expansion and that a meaningful polynomial correction can be formulated.

description: An elastic surface model is investigated by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on triangulated spherical meshes. The model undergoes a first-order collapsing transition and a continuous surface fluctuation transition. The shape of surfaces is maintained by a one-dimensional bending energy, which is defined on the mesh, and no two-dimensional bending energy is included in the Hamiltonian.
