description: The recent progress in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) technology has significantly advanced UAV-based applications for military, civil, and commercial domains. Nevertheless, the challenges of establishing high-speed communication links, flexible control strategies, and developing efficient collaborative decision-making algorithms for a swarm of UAVs limit their autonomy, robustness, and reliability. Thus, a growing focus has been witnessed on collaborative communication to allow a swarm of UAVs to coordinate and communicate autonomously for the cooperative completion of tasks in a short time with improved efficiency and reliability. This work presents a comprehensive review of collaborative communication in a multi-UAV system. We thoroughly discuss the characteristics of intelligent UAVs and their communication and control requirements for autonomous collaboration and coordination. Moreover, we review various UAV collaboration tasks, summarize the applications of UAV swarm networks for dense urban environments and present the use case scenarios to highlight the current developments of UAV-based applications in various domains. Finally, we identify several exciting future research direction that needs attention for advancing the research in collaborative UAVs.

description: The possible anisotropic nature in the early phases of the Universe is one of the interesting aspects of study in cosmology. We investigate the evolution of the Universe in terms of few cosmological parameters considering an anisotropic locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-I spacetime (LRS-BI) under the $f(Q)$ gravity of symmetric teleparallel theory equivalent to the GR (STEGR). In this study we consider two $f(Q)$ gravity models, viz., $f(Q) = -\,(Q+2Λ)$, a simple model with the cosmological constant $Λ$ and the power law model, $f(Q) = -\, αQ^n$ with two constant parameters $α$ and $n$. Considering a proportionality relation between the directional Hubble parameters with a proportionality constant parameter $λ$ we find a significant contribution of the anisotropic factor in the evolution of the early Universe for both models. The power law model shows the more dominating effect of anisotropy in comparison to the simple model depending on model parameters, especially on the parameter $n$. The power law model also shows some possible effects of anisotropy on the Universe's evolution in the near future. In addition, both models confirm that the anisotropy does not obtain any appreciable signature in the current stage of the Universe. From our analysis we also set rough constraints on our model parameters as $0.5 \le λ\le 1.25$, $0.75 \le α\le 1.5$ and $0.95 \le n \le 1.05$.

description: The determination of distance is fundamental in astrophysics. Gamma-ray sources are poorly characterized in this sense, as the limited angular resolution and poor photon-count statistics in gamma-ray astronomy makes it difficult to associate them to a multiwavelength object with known redshift. Taking the 1794 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with known redshift from the Fermi-LAT latest AGN catalog, 4LAC-DR3, we employ machine learning techniques to predict the distance of the rest of AGNs based on their spectral and spatial properties. The state-of-the-art CatBoost algorithm reaches an average 0.56 R2 score with 0.46 root-mean-squared error (RMSE), predicting an average redshift value of $z_{avg}=0.63$, with a maximum $z_{max}=1.97$. We use the SHAP explainer package to gain insights into the variables influence on the outcome, and also study the extragalactic bakground light (EBL) implications. In a second part, we use this regression model to predict the redshift of the unassociated sample of the latest LAT point-source catalog, 4FGL-DR3, using the results of a previous paper to determine the possible AGNs within them.

description: The unrivalled astrometric and photometric capabilities of the Gaia mission have given new impetus to the study of young stars: both from an environmental perspective, as members of comoving star-forming regions, and from an individual perspective, as targets amenable to planet-hunting direct-imaging observations. In view of the large availability of theoretical evolutionary models, both fields would benefit from a unified framework that allows a straightforward comparison of physical parameters obtained by different stellar and substellar models. To this aim, we developed the Manifold Age Determination for Young Stars (MADYS), a flexible Python tool for the age and mass determination of young stellar and substellar objects. In this first release, MADYS automatically retrieves and crossmatches photometry from several catalogs, estimates interstellar extinction, and derives age and mass estimates for individual objects through isochronal fitting. Harmonizing the heterogeneity of publicly available isochrone grids, the tool allows one to choose amongst 17 models, many of which with customizable astrophysical parameters, for a total of $\sim 110$ isochrone grids. Several dedicated plotting functions are provided to allow for an intuitive visual perception of the numerical output. After extensive testing, we have made the tool publicly available. Here, we demonstrate the capabilities of MADYS, summarizing previously published results as well providing several new examples.

description: The transport of fluids at the nanoscale is fundamental to manifold biological and industrial processes, ranging from neurotransmission to ultrafiltration. Yet, it is only recently that well-controlled channels with cross-sections as small as a few molecular diameters became an experimental reality. When aqueous electrolytes are confined within such channels, the Coulomb interactions between the dissolved ions are reinforced due to dielectric contrast at the channel walls: we dub this effect `interaction confinement'. Yet, no systematic way of computing these confined interactions has been proposed beyond the limiting cases of perfectly metallic or perfectly insulating channel walls. Here, we introduce a new formalism, based on the so-called surface response functions, that expresses the effective Coulomb interactions within a two-dimensional channel in terms of the wall's electronic structure, described to any desired level of precision. We use it to demonstrate that in few-nanometer-wide channels, the ionic interactions can be tuned by the wall material's screening length. We illustrate this approach by implementing these interactions in brownian dynamics simulations of a strongly confined electrolyte, and show that the resulting ionic conduction can be adjusted between Ohm's law and a Wien effect behavior. Our results provide a quantitative approach to tuning nanoscale ion transport through the electronic properties of the channel wall material.

description: The sensitivity and the frequency bandwidth of third-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are such that the Newtonian noise (NN) signals produced by atmospheric turbulence could become relevant. We build models for atmospheric NN that take into account finite correlation times and inhomogeneity along the vertical direction, and are therefore accurate enough to represent a reliable reference tool for evaluating this kind of noise. We compute the NN spectral density from our models and compare it with the expected sensitivity curve of the Einstein Telescope (ET) with the xylophone design. The noise signal decays exponentially for small values of the frequency and the detector's depth, followed by a power-law for large values of the parameters. We find that, when the detector is built at the earth's surface, the NN contribution in the low-frequency band is above the ET sensitivity curve for strong wind. Building the detector underground is sufficient to push the noise signal under the ET sensitivity curve, but the decrement is close to marginal for strong wind. In light of the slow decay with depth of the NN, building the detector underground could be only partially effective as passive noise mitigation.

description: The bulk of X-ray spectroscopic studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are focused on local ($z < 0.1$) sources with low-to-moderate ($< 0.3$) Eddington ratio ($λ_\mathrm{Edd}$). It is then mandatory to overcome this limitation and improve our understanding of highly accreting AGN. In this work we present the preliminary results from the analysis of a sample of $\sim70$ high-$λ_\mathrm{Edd}$ radio-quiet AGN at $0.06 \leq z \leq 3.3$, based on the 10th release of the XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue, that we named as XMM-Newton High-Eddington Serendipitous AGN Sample (X-HESS). Almost $\sim35\%$ of the X-HESS AGN have multi-epoch archival observations and $\sim70\%$ of the sources can rely on simultaneous OM optical data. First results reveal sources showing signatures of ultra-fast outflows and remarkable long- and short-term X-ray flux variations. Indeed in J095847.88+690532.7 ($z \sim 1.3$), one of the most densely monitored objects hosting a $\sim$$10^9\,M_\odot$ supermassive black hole, we discovered a variation of the soft X-ray flux by a factor of > 2 over approximately one week (rest-frame). Large variations in the power-law continuum photon index $Γ$ are also observed, questioning expectations from previously reported $Γ- λ_\mathrm{Edd}$ relations, for which $Γ\geq 2$ would be a ubiquitous hallmark of AGN with $λ_\mathrm{Edd} \sim 1$.

description: We propose an information-theoretical measure, the \textit{relative cluster entropy} $\mathcal{D_{C}}[P \| Q] $, to discriminate among cluster partitions characterised by probability distribution functions $P$ and $Q$. The measure is illustrated with the clusters generated by pairs of fractional Brownian motions with Hurst exponents $H_1$ and $H_2$ respectively. For subdiffusive, normal and superdiffusive sequences, the relative entropy sensibly depends on the difference between $H_1$ and $H_2$. By using the \textit{minimum relative entropy} principle, cluster sequences characterized by different correlation degrees are distinguished and the optimal Hurst exponent is selected. As a case study, real-world cluster partitions of market price series are compared to those obtained from fully uncorrelated sequences (simple Browniam motions) assumed as a model. The \textit{minimum relative cluster entropy} yields optimal Hurst exponents $H_1=0.55$, $H_1=0.57$, and $H_1=0.63$ respectively for the prices of DJIA, S\&P500, NASDAQ: a clear indication of non-markovianity. Finally, we derive the analytical expression of the relative cluster entropy and the outcomes are discussed for arbitrary pairs of power-laws probability distribution functions of continuous random variables.

description: The increasing crime rate and number of criminals have become significant concerns for police departments around the world. Identifying suspects for crime incidents is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Face recognition technology has the potential to assist in crime prevention and criminal identification, but it is a dif icult problem in computer vision due to the high degree of variability in facial appearance. Accuracy and speed of identification are key issues in this field. However, the robustness of the system can be obstructed by humans who alter their facial features. Despite these challenges, face identification is preferred for its accuracy, cost-ef ectiveness, and ability to stand scrutiny in court. Other methods of criminal identification include fingerprinting, DNA matching and Eyewitness accounts, but facial recognition is more ef icient and achievable. Through CCTV footage. The system can generate a distinctive template for each face captured in the footage and compare it with other images stored in the dataset. Whenever a match is detected, the corresponding image's associated details will be displayed. Implementing this system could lead to decreased crime rates and enhanced security in the community. Nevertheless, there are apprehensions regarding privacy issues. Potential misuse of technology and face-to-face ethical issues Validation technology
CMB spectral distortions revisited: a new take on $μ$ distortions and primordial non-Gaussianities from FIRAS data

description: Deviations from the blackbody spectral energy distribution of the CMB are a precise probe of physical processes active both in the early universe (such as those connected to particle decays and inflation) and at later times (e.g. reionization and astrophysical emissions). Limited progress has been made in the characterization of these spectral distortions after the pioneering measurements of the FIRAS instrument on the COBE satellite in the early 1990s, which mainly targeted the measurement of their average amplitude across the sky. Since at present no follow-up mission is scheduled to update the FIRAS measurement, in this work we re-analyze the FIRAS data and produce a map of $μ$-type spectral distortion across the sky. We provide an updated constraint on the $μ$ distortion monopole $|\langleμ\rangle|<47\times 10^{-6}$ at 95\% confidence level that sharpens the previous FIRAS estimate by a factor of $\sim 2$. We also constrain primordial non-Gaussianities of curvature perturbations on scales $10\lesssim k\lesssim 5\times 10^4$ through the cross-correlation of $μ$ distortion anisotropies with CMB temperature and, for the first time, the full set of polarization anisotropies from the Planck satellite. We obtain upper limits on $f_{\rm NL}\lesssim 3.6 \times 10^6$ and on its running $n_{\rm NL}\lesssim 1.4$ that are limited by the FIRAS sensitivity but robust against galactic and extragalactic foreground contaminations. We revisit previous similar analyses based on data of the Planck satellite and show that, despite their significantly lower noise, they yield similar or worse results to ours once all the instrumental and astrophysical uncertainties are properly accounted for. Our work is the first to self-consistently analyze data from a spectrometer and demonstrate the power of such instrument to carry out this kind of science case with reduced systematic uncertainties.

description: We present a new technique to generate the light curves of RRab stars in different photometric bands ($I$ and $V$ bands) using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). A pre-computed grid of models was used to train the ANN, and the architecture was tuned using the $I$ band light curves. The best-performing network was adopted to make the final interpolators in the $I$ and $V$ bands. The trained interpolators were used to predict the light curve of RRab stars in the Magellanic Clouds, and the distances to the LMC and SMC were determined based on the reddening independent Wesenheit index. The estimated distances are in good agreement with the literature. The comparison of the predicted and observed amplitudes, and Fourier amplitude ratios showed good agreement, but the Fourier phase parameters displayed a few discrepancies. To showcase the utility of the interpolators, the light curve of the RRab star EZ Cnc was generated and compared with the observed light curve from the Kepler mission. The reported distance to EZ Cnc was found to be in excellent agreement with the updated parallax measurement from Gaia EDR3. Our ANN interpolator provides a fast and efficient technique to generate a smooth grid of model light curves for a wide range of physical parameters, which is computationally expensive and time-consuming using stellar pulsation codes.

description: The use of herbomineral formulations in the healthcare sector has increased due to their high safety and better therapeutic action. A new proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated with a combination of the herbal root extract ashwagandha and minerals viz. zinc, magnesium, and selenium. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the test formulation in splenocytes. The test formulation was divided into two parts; one was the control without the Biofield Energy Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely by seven renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The MTT assay showed that the test formulation exhibited safe concentrations up to 1.053 µg/mL with cell viability ranging from 88.19% to 110.30% in the Biofield Energy Treated sample. The Biofield Energy Healing significantly enhanced the cell viability as compared with the untreated test formulation. The expression of TNF-α was significantly inhibited by 7.23% at 1.053 µg/mL in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The level of TNF-α was significantly decreased by 3.90%, 11.74%, 3.12%, and 9.17% at 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053 and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. Additionally, the expression of IL-1β was significantly reduced by 28.98%, 51.23%, 53.06%, 48.98%, 55.71%, and 59.10% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. Further, the Biofield Treated test formulation showed significant reduction of IL-1β by 35.07% (p≤0.05), 47.46% (p≤0.05), and 57.51% (p≤0.01) at 0.001053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively compared with the untreated test formulation. Similarly, the MIP-1α expression was inhibited by the Biofield Energy Treated formulation and showed immunosuppressive activity at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 0.01053 µg/mL by 19.38%, 24.97%, 31.23%, and 25.41%, respectively compared with the vehicle control group. The Biofield Treated test formulation significantly (p0.001) reduced the MIP-1α expression by 19.33%, 22.57%, and 30.50% at 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 0.01053 µg/mL, respectively compared with the untreated test formulation. Overall, The Trivedi Effect® - Biofield Energy Healing (TEBEH) significantly down-regulated the pro-inflammatory cytokines and potentiated the immunosuppressive effect of the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation, which can be better utilized for organ transplants, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, anti-aging, stress management, overall health and quality of life, etc.

description: About a hundred tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been observed and they exhibit a wide range of emission properties both at peak and over their lifetimes. Some TDEs peak predominantly at X-ray energies while others radiate chiefly at UV and optical wavelengths. While the peak luminosities across TDEs show distinct properties, the evolutionary behavior can also vary between TDEs with similar peak emission properties. At late time, some optical TDEs rebrighten in X-rays, while others maintain strong UV/optical emission components. In this Letter, we conduct three-dimensional general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of TDE accretion disks at varying accretion rates ranging from a few to a few tens of the Eddington accretion rate. We make use of Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations to calculate the reprocessed spectra at various inclinations and at different evolutionary stages. We confirm the unified model proposed by Dai et al. (2018), which predicts that the observed emission largely depends on the viewing angle of the observer with respect to the disk orientation (X-ray strong when viewed face-on and UV/optically strong when viewed disk-on). What is more, we find that disks with higher accretion rates have elevated wind and disk densities, which increases the reprocessing of the high-energy radiation and thus generally augments the optical-to-X-ray flux ratio along a particular viewing angle. This implies that at later times, as the accretion level declines, we expect the funnel to effectively open up and allow more X-rays to leak out along intermediate viewing angles. Such dynamical model for TDEs can provide a natural explanation for the diversity in the emission properties observed in TDEs at peak and along their temporal evolution.

description: We have classified possible transonic solutions of galactic outflows in the gravitational potential of the dark matter halo (DMH) and super massive black hole (SMBH) under the assumptions of isothermal, spherically symmetric and steady state. It is clarified that the gravity of SMBH adds a new branch of transonic solutions with the transonic point in very close proximity to the centre in addition to the outer transonic point generated by the gravity of DMH. Because these two transonic solutions have substantially different mass fluxes and starting points, these solutions may have different influences on the evolution of galaxies and the release of metals into intergalactic space. We have applied our model to the Sombrero galaxy and obtained a new type of galactic outflow: a slowly accelerated transonic outflow through the transonic point at very distant region ($\simeq 126$\ kpc). In this galaxy, previous works reported that although the trace of the galactic outflow is observed by X-ray, the gas density distribution is consistent with the hydrostatic state. We have clarified that the slowly accelerating outflow has a gas density profile quite similar to that of the hydrostatic solution in the widely spread subsonic region. Thus, the slowly accelerating transonic solution cannot be distinguished from the hydrostatic solution in the observed region ($\leq 25$\ kpc) even if slow transonic flow exists. Our model provides a new perspective of galactic outflows and is applicable even to quiescent galaxies with inactive star formation.

title: A deep generative model framework for creating high quality synthetic transaction sequences
Creators: name: Nickerson, Kyle
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: Synthetic data are artificially generated data that closely model real-world measurements, and can be a valuable substitute for real data in domains where it is costly to obtain real data, or privacy concerns exist. Synthetic data has traditionally been generated using computational simulations, but deep generative models (DGMs) are increasingly used to generate high-quality synthetic data. In this thesis, we create a framework which employs DGMs for generating highquality synthetic transaction sequences. Transaction sequences, such as we may see in an online banking platform, or credit card statement, are important type of financial data for gaining insight into financial systems. However, research involving this type of data is typically limited to large financial institutions, as privacy concerns often prevent academic researchers from accessing this kind of data. Our work represents a step towards creating shareable synthetic transaction sequence datasets, containing data not connected to any actual humans. To achieve this goal, we begin by developing Banksformer, a DGM based on the transformer architecture, which is able to generate high-quality synthetic transaction sequences. Throughout the remainder of the thesis, we develop extensions to Banksformer that further improve the quality of data we generate. Additionally, we perform extensively examination of the quality synthetic data produced by our method, both with qualitative visualizations and quantitative metrics.

description: The mid-infrared spectral region provides a unique window into the atmospheric temperature, chemistry, and dynamics of the giant planets. From more than a century of mid-infrared remote sensing, progressively clearer pictures of the composition and thermal structure of these atmospheres have emerged, along with a greater insight into the processes that shape them. Our knowledge of Jupiter and Saturn has benefitted from their proximity and relatively warm temperatures, while the details of colder and more distant Uranus and Neptune are limited, as these planets remain challenging targets. As the timeline of observations continues to grow, an understanding of the temporal and seasonal variability of the giant planets is beginning to develop, with promising new observations on the horizon.

description: A proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated with four ingredients; a mixture of the minerals (zinc, magnesium, and selenium) and the herbal root extract ashwagandha. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the herbomineral formulation in splenocyte cells, which were isolated from Biofield Treated mice. The test formulation was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control without any Biofield Energy Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely from seven renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The splenocyte cells were treated with the test formulation at concentrations ranges from 0.00001053 to 10.53 µg/mL and analyzed after 48 hours of treatment by MTT assay. The cell viability data showed safe concentrations up to 1.053 µg/mL with viability ranges from 69.22% to 123.88% in the test formulation groups. The expression of TNF-α was decreased by 4.82% at 1.053 µg/mL in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The level of TNF-α was significantly decreased by 2.02%, 4.92%, and 18.78% at 0.00001053, 0.001053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation group as compared to the untreated test formulation. The expression of IL-1β was significantly reduced by 83.65%, 92.15%, 27.30%, and 41.88% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The Biofield Treated test formulation showed significant reduction of IL-1β by 17.26%, 92.61% (p≤0.001), 34.62% (p≤0.05), and 16.13% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively compared with the untreated test formulation. Additionally, the expression of chemokine MIP-1α was significantly reduced by 17.03%, 10.99%, 22.33%, 24.21%, 21.61%, and 30.67% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The MIP-1α expression was significantly reduced by 19.32% and 12.56% at 0.01053 and 0.1053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. The overall results demonstrated that the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation significantly down-regulated the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MIP-1α in the Biofield Treated mice splenocyte cells compared to the untreated test formulation. These data suggest that the Biofield Treated test formulation can be used for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, stress management and anti-aging by improving overall health.

Study of three-flavored heavy dibaryons using lattice QCD

description: We present results of the first lattice QCD calculation of three-flavored heavy dibaryons both in the flavor-symmetric and antisymmetric channels. These dibaryons have spin zero, and are constructed using various possible combinations of quark flavors with at least one of them as the charm or the bottom quark, i.e., namely, $H_c(cudcud), H_b(budbud), H_{bcs}(bcsbcs)$, $H_{csl}(cslcsl), H_{bsl}(bslbsl)$ and $H_{bcl}(bclbcl)$; $l\in u,d$. We compute the ground state masses of these dibaryons and the calculations are performed on three $N_f=2+1+1$ HISQ gauge ensembles of the MILC collaboration, with lattice spacings $a =$ 0.1207, 0.0888 and 0.0582 fm. A relativistic overlap action is employed for the valence light to charm quarks while a non-relativistic-QCD Hamiltonian with improved coefficients is used for the bottom quarks. Unlike the doubly heavy tetraquarks, one and two-flavored heavy dibaryons, for which lattice QCD calculations have predicted deeply bound strong-interactions-stable states, for these $H_c, H_b, H_{csl},H_{bsl}$ dibaryons we do not find any such deeply bound state. However, for $H_{bcs}$, our results indicate the presence of an energy level $29\pm 24$ MeV below the lowest two-baryon threshold, which could be relevant for its future experimental searches. Moreover, we find that the energy difference between the ground state of $H_{bcl}$ and its lowest threshold increases when $m_l>m_s$. Taken together, our findings indicate the possibility of the existence of the $H_{bcs}$ dibaryon while all other physical three-flavored dibaryons are much closer to their thresholds suggesting either they are weakly bound or unbound, resolving which requires further detail study. Our results also point that the binding of a dibaryon configuration becomes stronger with the increase of its valence quark masses which suggests an interesting aspect of strong interactions at multiple scales.

On the Bondi mass of Maxwell-Klein-Gordon spacetimes

description: In this paper we calculate the Bondi mass of asymptotically flat spacetimes with interacting electromagnetic and scalar fields. The system of coupled Einstein-Maxwel-Klein-Gordon equations is investigated and corresponding field equations are written in the spinor form and in the Newman-Penrose formalism. Asymptotically flat solution of the resulting system is found near null infinity. Finally we use the asymptotic twistor equation to find the Bondi mass of the spacetime and derive the Bondi mass-loss formula. We compare the results with our previous work \cite{BST2} and show that, unlike the conformal scalar field, the (Maxwell-)Klein-Gordon field has negatively semi-definite mass-loss formula.
