description: An ion beam cooler and buncher has been developed for the manipulation of radioactive ion beams. The gas-filled linear radiofrequency ion trap system is installed at the Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE/CERN. Its purpose is to accumulate the 60-keV continuous ISOLDE ion beam with high efficiency and to convert it into low-energy low-emittance ion pulses. The efficiency was found to exceed 10% in agreement with simulations. A more than 10-fold reduction of the ISOLDE beam emittance can be achieved. The system has been used successfully for first on-line experiments. Its principle, setup and performance will be discussed.

description: If supersymmetry is dynamically broken in a hidden sector, the gauginos typically have unacceptably small masses. This situation can be corrected if a non-Abelian gauge interaction becomes strong at a scale of order 1 TeV and induces dynamical gaugino masses. We discuss the typical signals of this scenario at present and future colliders.

Geometry-Information Duality: Quantum Entanglement Contributions to Gravitational Dynamics

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We propose a fundamental duality between the geometric properties of spacetime and the informational content of quantum fields. Specifically, we establish that the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the entanglement entropy of quantum states, with geometric invariants mapping to informational measures. This framework modifies Einstein's field equations by introducing an informational stress-energy tensor derived from quantum entanglement entropy. Our findings have implications for black hole thermodynamics, cosmology, and quantum gravity, suggesting that quantum information fundamentally shapes the structure of spacetime. We incorporate this informational stress-energy tensor into Einstein's field equations, leading to modified spacetime geometry, particularly in regimes of strong gravitational fields, such as near black holes. We compute corrections to Newton's constant (G) due to entanglement entropy contributions from various quantum fields and explore the consequences for black hole thermodynamics and cosmology. These corrections include explicit dependence on fundamental constants (h-bar, c, and k_B), ensuring dimensional consistency in our calculations. Our results indicate that quantum information plays a crucial role in gravitational dynamics, providing new insights into the nature of spacetime and potential solutions to long-standing challenges in quantum gravity.

description: For each minuscule flag variety $X$, there is a corresponding minuscule poset, describing its Schubert decomposition. We study an action on plane partitions over such posets, introduced by P. Cameron and D. Fon-der-Flaass (1995). For plane partitions of height at most $2$, D. Rush and X. Shi (2013) proved an instance of the cyclic sieving phenomenon, completely describing the orbit structure of this action. They noted their result does not extend to greater heights in general; however, when $X$ is one of the two minuscule flag varieties of exceptional Lie type $E$, they conjectured explicit instances of cyclic sieving for all heights. We prove their conjecture in the case that $X$ is the Cayley-Moufang plane of type $E_6$. For the other exceptional minuscule flag variety, the Freudenthal variety of type $E_7$, we establish their conjecture for heights at most $4$, but show that it fails generally. We further give a new proof of an unpublished cyclic sieving of D. Rush and X. Shi (2011) for plane partitions of any height in the case $X$ is an even-dimensional quadric hypersurface. Our argument uses ideas of K. Dilks, O. Pechenik, and J. Striker (2017) to relate the action on plane partitions to combinatorics derived from $K$-theoretic Schubert calculus.

description: In our current work, we are exploring how humans adapt to the capabilities of the robot when teaching them such manipulation skills, and what interface is the most effective for this kind of adaptive teaching. We are looking at two types of interfaces: human tracking followed by mapping movement to the robot's kinematics, and direct control (in which the human can directly move or teleoperate the robot). Our future goal is to create a framework for learning by demonstration in which the expert is not automatically regarded as ideal, but is allowed time to provide exemplars that are directly applicable to the robot.

description: Vol. 3. No. 2 Oct 2013 Currently Emeritus Professor of Education at the Institute of Education, University of London and Visiting Professor of Education at the University of Bristol, Michael Fielding taught for 19 years in some of the UK's pioneer radical secondary comprehensive schools and for a similar period and with identical commitments at the universities of Cambridge, London and Sussex. Widely published in the fields of student voice, educational leadership and radical democratic education, some of his innovative research work (he coined the term Joint Practice Development) is currently influencing professional learning in schools. His latest book, co-authored with Peter Moss, Radical education and the common school - a democratic alternative (Routledge 2011), seeks to reclaim education as a democratic project and a community responsibility and school as a public space of encounter for all citizens. It was nominated Best Book of 2011 by the Society for Educational Studies. Within the context of a powerful critique on the effects of transnational capitalism on education, Michael discusses the pioneering work of Alex Bloom and its implications for radical democratic education.

description: In orbifold family unification on the basis of $SU(N)$ gauge theory on the six-dimensional space-time $M^4\times T^2/Z_m$ ($m=2, 3, 4, 6$), enormous numbers of models with three families of the standard model matter multiplets are derived from a massless Dirac fermion with a vectorlike representation $[N, 3] + [N, N-3]$ of $SU(N)$ ($N = 8, 9$). They contain models with three or more than three neutrino singlets and without any non-Abelian continuous flavor gauge symmetries. The relationship between flavor numbers from a fermion with $[N, N-k]$ and those from a fermion with $[N, k]$ are studied from the viewpoint of charge conjugation.

description: The central regions of the gravitationally lensed quasar Q2237+0305 can be indirectly resolved on nano-arcsecond scales if viewed spectrophotometricly during a microlensing high magnification event (HME). Q2237+0305 is currently being monitored from the ground (eg. OGLE collaboration, Apache Point Observatory), with the goal, among others, of triggering ground and spacecraft based target of opportunity (TOO) observations of an HME. In this work we investigate the rate of change (trigger) in image brightness that signals an imminent HME and importantly, the separation between the trigger and the event peak. In addition, we produce colour dependent model light-curves by combining high-resolution microlensing simulations with a realistic model for a thermal accretion disc source. We make hypothetical target of opportunity spectroscopic observations using our determination of the appropriate trigger as a guide. We find that if the source spectrum varies with source radius, a 3 observation TOO program should be able to observe a microlensing change in the continuum slope following a light-curve trigger with a success rate of >80%.

description: While great strides have been made in detecting and localizing specific objects in natural images, the bottom-up segmentation of unknown, generic objects remains a difficult challenge. We believe that occlusion can provide a strong cue for object segmentation and “pop-out”, but detecting an object’s occlusion boundaries using appearance alone is a difficult problem in itself. If the camera or the scene is moving, however, that motion provides an additional powerful indicator of occlusion. Thus, we use standard appearance cues (e.g. brightness/color gradient) in addition to motion cues that capture subtle differences in the relative surface motion (i.e. parallax) on either side of an occlusion boundary. We describe a learned local classifier and global inference approach which provide a framework for combining and reasoning about these appearance and motion cues to estimate which region boundaries of an initial over-segmentation correspond to object/occlusion boundaries in the scene. Through results on a dataset which contains short videos with labeled boundaries, we demonstrate the effectiveness of motion cues for this task.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the extent to which various measurements of contacting parameters differ between children and adults during habitual range and overlap vocal frequency/intensity, using voice map–based assessment of noninvasive electroglottography (EGG).Method: EGG voice maps were analyzed from 26 adults (22–45 years) and 22 children (4–8 years) during connected speech and vowel /a/ over the habitual range and the overlap vocal frequency/intensity from the voice range profile task on the vowel /a/. Mean and standard deviations of contact quotient by integration, normalized contacting speed, quotient of speed by integration, and cycle-rate sample entropy were obtained. Group differences were evaluated using the linear mixed model analysis for the habitual range connected speech and the vowel, whereas analysis of covariance was conducted for the overlap vocal frequency/intensity from the voice range profile task. Presence of a “knee” on the EGG wave shape was determined by visual inspection of the presence of convexity along the decontacting slope of the EGG pulse and the presence of the second derivative zero-crossing.Results: The contact quotient by integration, normalized contacting speed, quotient of speed by integration, and cycle-rate sample entropy were significantly different in children compared to (a) adult males for habitual range and (b) adult males and adult females for the overlap vocal frequency/intensity. None of the children had a “knee” on the decontacting slope of the EGG slope.Conclusion: EGG parameters of contact quotient by integration, normalized contacting speed, quotient of speed by integration, cycle-rate sample entropy, and absence of a “knee” on the decontacting slope characterize the wave shape differences between children and adults, whereas the normalized contacting speed, quotient of speed by integration, cycle-rate sample entropy, and presence of a “knee” on the downward pulse slope characterize the wave shape differences between adult males and adult females.

description: This paper reports on an outdoor mobile robot that learns to avoid collisions by observing a human driver operate a vehicle equipped with sensors that continuously produce a map of the local environment. We have implemented steering control that models human behavior in trying to avoid obstacles while trying to follow a desired path. Here we present the formulation for this control system and its independent parameters, and then show how these parameters can be automatically estimated by observation of a human driver. We present results from experiments with a vehicle (both real and simulated) that avoids obstacles while following a prescribed path at speeds up to 4 m/sec. We compare the proposed method with another method based on principal component analysis, a commonly used learning technique. We find that the proposed method generalizes well and is capable of learning from a small number of examples

description: It might be thought that, in order to successfully teach a skill or process to others, teachers would need to be fairly competent in that process themselves, and fairly confident in their competence. There is evidence, however, that, in the case of the teaching of writing, this may not actually be true. This article explores some of the background to this problem and reports an investigation into the self-perceived competence in writing of teachers in training. It goes on to argue that, in the attributions these young teachers make about their success or failure in writing, there are important implications for the teaching and development of writing.

description: Our goal is to reveal how the $α$ cluster amplitude is probed through $α$ knockout reactions depending on reaction conditions, e.g., the incident energy. We consider $^{20}$Ne($p$,$pα$)$^{16}$O and $^{120}$Sn($p$,$pα$)$^{116}$Cd at 100-400 MeV within the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) framework. We introduce a masking function which shows how the reaction amplitude in the nuclear interior is suppressed and defines the probed region of the $α$ cluster wave function. It is clearly shown by means of the masking function that the $α$ knockout reaction probes the $α$ cluster amplitude in the nuclear surface region, which is the direct measure of well-developed $α$ cluster states. A simplified form of the masking function is introduced and the incident energy dependence of the masking effect is investigated. $α$ knockout reaction can probe the $α$ cluster amplitude in the nuclear surface region by choosing proper kinematics owing to the masking effect originated from absorptions of distorting potentials, and is a suitable method to investigate how $α$ cluster states are spatially developed.

We present predictions for the tau decay widths, allowing for a non-zero tau neutrino mass, m(nu_tau), and for mixing with a neutrino of mass m(nu_L) > M_Z/2, which is parametrised using a Cabibbo-like mixing angle, theta_L. By comparison of these theoretical predictions with the experimental measurements, we obtain the following bounds at the 90% confidence level: m(nu_tau) < 42 MeV and sin^2(theta_L) < 0.014.

description: The four bright images of the gravitationally lensed quasar Q2237+0305 are being monitored from the ground (eg. OGLE collaboration, Apache Point Observatory) in the hope of observing a high magnification event (HME). Over the past three seasons (1997-1999) the OGLE collaboration has produced microlensing light-curves with unprecedented coverage. These demonstrate smooth, independent (therefore microlensing) variability between the images (Wozniak et al. 2000a,b; OGLE web page). We have retrospectively compared probability functions for high-magnification event parameters with several observed light-curve features. We conclude that the 1999 image C peak was due to the source having passed outside of a cusp rather than to a caustic crossing. In addition, we find that the image C light-curve shows evidence for a caustic crossing between the 1997 and 1998 observing seasons involving the appearance of new critical images. Our models predict that the next image C event is most likely to arrive 500 days following the 1999 peak, but with a large uncertainty (100-2000 days). Finally, given the image A light-curve derivative at the end of the 1999 observing season, our modelling suggests that a caustic crossing will occur between the 1999 and 2000 observing seasons, implying a minimum for the image A light-curve ~1-1.5 magnitudes fainter than the November 1999 level.

description: Deployed vision systems often encounter image variations poorly represented in their training data. While observing their environment, such vision systems obtain unlabeled data that could be used to compensate for incomplete training. In order to exploit these relatively cheap and abundant unlabeled data we present a family of algorithms called λMEEM. Using these algorithms, we train an appearance-based people detection model. In contrast to approaches that rely on a large number of manually labeled training points, we use a partially labeled data set to capture appearance variation. One can both avoid the tedium of additional manual labeling and obtain improved detection performance by augmenting a labeled training set with unlabeled data. Further, enlarging the original training set with new unlabeled points enables the update of detection models after deployment without human intervention. To support these claims we show people detection results, and compare our performance to a purely generative Expectation Maximization-based approach to learning over partially labeled data.

description: Bayesian approximate message passing (BAMP) is an efficient method in compressed sensing that is nearly optimal in the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) sense. Bayesian approximate message passing (BAMP) performs joint recovery of multiple vectors with identical support and accounts for correlations in the signal of interest and in the noise. In this paper, we show how to reduce the complexity of vector BAMP via a simple joint decorrelation diagonalization) transform of the signal and noise vectors, which also facilitates the subsequent performance analysis. We prove that BAMP and the corresponding state evolution (SE) are equivariant with respect to the joint decorrelation transform and preserve diagonality of the residual noise covariance for the Bernoulli-Gauss (BG) prior. We use these results to analyze the dynamics and the mean squared error (MSE) performance of BAMP via the replica method, and thereby understand the impact of signal correlation and number of jointly sparse signals.

description: We present a new evolutionary model for the far-UV to sub-mm properties of the galaxy population. This combines a semi-analytic galaxy formation model based on hierarchical clustering (GALFORM) with a spectro-photometric code which includes dust reprocessing (GRASIL). The former provides the star formation and metal enrichment histories, together with the gas mass and various geometrical parameters, for a representative sample of galaxies formed in different density environments. These quantities allow us to model the SEDs of galaxies, taking into account stellar emission and also dust extinction and re-emission. Two phases are considered for the dust: molecular cloud complexes, where stars are assumed to be born, and the diffuse interstellar medium. The model includes both galaxies forming stars quiescently in disks, and starbursts triggered by galaxy mergers. We test our models against the observed spectro-photometric properties of galaxies in the local Universe. The models reproduce fairly well the SEDs of normal spirals and starbursts, and their internal extinction properties. The starbursts follow the observed relationship between the FIR to UV luminosity ratio and the slope of the UV continuum. They also reproduce the observed starburst attenuation law (Calzetti et al 99). This result is remarkable, because we use a dust mixture which reproduces the Milky Way extinction law. It suggests that the observed attenuation law is related to the geometry of the stars and dust. We compute galaxy luminosity functions over our wide range of wavelengths, which turn out to be in good agreement with observational data. The UV continuum turns out to be a poor star formation indicator for our models, whilst the infrared luminosity is much more reliable.

description: When performing physical collaboration tasks, like packing a picnic basket together, humans communicate strongly and often subtly via multiple channels like gaze, speech, gestures, movement and posture. Understanding and participating in this communication enables us to predict a physical action rather than react to it, producing seamless collaboration. In this paper, we automatically learn key discriminative features that predict the intent to handover an object using machine learning techniques. We train and test our algorithm on multi-channel vision and pose data collected from an extensive user study in an instrumented kitchen. Our algorithm outputs a tree of possibilities, automatically encoding various types of pre-handover communication. A surprising outcome is that mutual gaze and inter-personal distance, often cited as being key for interaction, were not key discriminative features. Finally, we discuss the immediate and future impact of this work for human-robot interaction.

description: Foliar nutrient diagnosis is a potent tool for nutrient management in crops. Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) plantation in China dominates the worldwide litchi cultivation, and Feizixiao is the most widely cultivated species in China. Herein, 538 leaf samples were collected at fruit swelling stage and the terminal shoot maturing stage during 2016–2017, and the fruit yields of all the sampled trees were recorded. The suitability of four nutrient diagnosis methods including critical value approach (CVA), sufficiency range approach (SRA), modified diagnosis and recommendation integrated system (M-DRIS), and compositional nutrient diagnosis (CND) in Feizixiao were compared. Only a few of foliar nutrients could be diagnosed by CVA. Similar evaluations were achieved by both M-DRIS and CND, but the diagnosis accuracy highly varied with the severity of nutrient deficiency or abundance and the diagnosis year. Finally, SRA was accepted to establish the diagnosis norms due to its stable assessments for all nutrients. The optimal foliar nutrient range for Feizixiao is recommended as N 16.7–19.2, P 1.06–1.25, K 5.1–6.7, Ca 7.7–11.0, Mg 2.5–3.7 and S 1.51–1.81 g kg−1, and Zn 19.6–32.6 and B 11.5–19.2 mg kg−1 at the fruit swelling stage , and N 19.7–22.0, P 1.69–1.95, K 10.8–12.7, Ca 3.0–4.1, Mg 2.5–2.9 and S 1.38–1.57 g kg−1, and Zn 15.0–18.9 and B 10.8–16.8 mg kg−1 at the terminal shoot maturing stage.
The Spitzer Matching Survey of the UltraVISTA Ultra-deep Stripes (SMUVS): the Evolution of Dusty and Non-Dusty Galaxies with Stellar Mass at z=2-6

description: The Spitzer Matching Survey of the UltraVISTA Ultra-deep Stripes (SMUVS) has obtained the largest ultra-deep Spitzer maps to date in a single field of the sky. We considered the sample of about 66,000 SMUVS sources at $z=2-6$ to investigate the evolution of dusty and non-dusty galaxies with stellar mass through the analysis of the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF). We further divide our non-dusty galaxy sample with rest-frame optical colours to isolate red quiescent (`passive') galaxies. At each redshift, we identify a characteristic stellar mass in the GSMF above which dusty galaxies dominate, or are at least as important as non-dusty galaxies. Below that stellar mass, non-dusty galaxies comprise about 80% of all sources, at all redshifts except at $z=4-5$. The percentage of dusty galaxies at $z=4-5$ is unusually high: 30-40% for $M_{*}=10^9 - 10^{10.5} \, \rm M_\odot$ and $>80\%$ at $M_*>10^{11} \, \rm M_\odot$, which indicates that dust obscuration is of major importance in this cosmic period. The overall percentage of massive ($\log_{10} (M_*/M_\odot)>10.6$) galaxies that are quiescent increases with decreasing redshift, reaching $>30\%$ at $z\sim2$. Instead, the quiescent percentage among intermediate-mass galaxies (with $\log_{10} (M_*/M_\odot)=9.7-10.6$) stays roughly constant at a $\sim 10\%$ level. Our results indicate that massive and intermediate-mass galaxies clearly have different evolutionary paths in the young Universe, and are consistent with the scenario of galaxy downsizing.

description: First results on the measurement of localized fluctuations in the multiplicity of charged particles and photons produced in central 158 A GeV Pb+Pb collisions are presented. The charged versus neutral correlations in common phase space regions of varying azimuthal size are analyzed by two different methods. The measured results are compared to those from simulations and to those from different types of mixed events. The comparison indicates the presence of non-statistical fluctuations in both charged particle and photon multiplicities in limited azimuthal regions. However, no correlated charge-neutral fluctuations are observed.

Primordial Cosmological Fluctuations on Galactic Scales

description: The galactic evolutionary theory is now sufficiently mature to provide information about the galaxy formation phase. From evolutionary models we establish a link between the present features of late type galaxies and the protogalactic density fluctuations. This link is used to estimate the fluctuation power spectrum amplitude at galactic scales. The agreement with the power spectrum derived from galaxy distribution and extrapolated to galactic scales, is satisfactory. Meanwhile, the comparison with respect to the standard cold dark matter power spectrum normalized to COBE satellite meassurements reveals only a marginal agreement. Among the most interesting results, the Tully-Fisher relation and the constant central brightness pointed out by Freeman (1970) appear to be the natural consequences of the initial cosmological conditions.

description: The VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) is a next generation VLBI system developed by the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) to achieve geodetic observations with ultra-wideband receivers, observing from 3 to 11 GHz. These receivers observe in linear polarization to achieve optimal polarization purity. This poster delves into the intricacies of VGOS data calibration, including the conversion from linear to circular polarization using PolConvert and the implementation of the Wideband Global Fringe-Fitting algorithm. Distancing ourselves from the conventional geodetic approach of fringe-fitting separately for each baseline, we present the first results obtained by performing a Global Fringe-Fitting across a global IVS array, comprising 8 antennas with intercontinental baselines, for the complete VGOS bandwidth.
Learning Stochastic Binary Tasks using Bayesian Optimization with Shared Task Knowledge

description: Robotic systems often have tunable parameters which can affect performance; Bayesian optimization methods provide for efficient parameter optimization, reducing required tests on the robot. This paper addresses Bayesian optimization in the setting where performance is only observed through a stochastic binary outcome – success or failure. We de- fine the stochastic binary optimization problem, present a Bayesian framework using Gaussian processes for classification, adapt the existing expected improvement metric for the binary case, and benchmark its performance. We also exploit problem structure and task similarity to generate principled task priors allowing efficient search for diffi- cult tasks. This method is used to create an adaptive policy for climbing over obstacles of varying heights.

description: We have studied in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) the O(p^6) Vector Meson contributions to K -> pi gamma gamma and K(L) -> gamma gamma^*. We construct the most general ChPT lagrangian for the weak Vector-Pseudoscalar-Photon (VPgamma) vertex for K -> pi gamma gamma and K(L) -> gamma gamma^* and consequently we get the full structure of the O(p^6) local contributions generated by Vector Meson exchange. Then we compute new factorizable contributions to the weak VPgamma vertex generated by the odd-intrinsic parity violating lagrangian with no additional couplings. We find in fact a very nice agreement with the phenomenology of K -> pi gamma gamma and K(L) -> gamma gamma^*, more predictive power and a deeper understanding of the O(p^6) local operators. A novel interpretation of the K(L) -> gamma gamma^* data is given. Also a comparison with the existing models is presented.
