description: In this work we propose a market-based task allocation system for disaster response domains. We model the disaster response domain as a team of robots cooperating to extinguish a series of fires that arise due to a disaster. Each fire is associated with a time-decreasing reward for successful mitigation, with the value of the initial reward corresponding to task importance, and the speed of decay of the reward determining the urgency of the task. Deadlines are also associated with each fire, and penalties are assessed if fires are not extinguished by their deadlines. The team of robots aims to maximize summed reward over all emergency tasks, resulting in the lowest overall damage from the series of fires. We first implement a baseline market-based approach to task allocation for disaster response. In the baseline approach the allocation respects task importance and urgency, but agents do a poor job of anticipating future emergencies and are assessed a high number of penalties. We then propose a learning-enhanced market-based approach. Our regression-based technique modifies agents’ bids resulting in an allocation that avoids many of the penalties assessed when using the baseline approach; by avoiding penalties and better respecting task importance and urgency the robot team achieves substantially higher overall reward. We illustrate the effectiveness of our approach in a simulated disaster response scenario.

description: Methane emissions from vegetation are an important, but poorly constrained, term in the global methane budget. This study aimed to elucidate sources and mechanisms of methane emissions from trees by comparing methane to radon, a radioactive gas that is naturally present in soil and groundwater, across different tree species, chamber heights, seasons, and other variables. Emissions were greater at the lower chamber height than at the upper chamber, and higher in the summer than in the winter, indicating the role of warmer temperatures on ecosystem emissions. Because of the similarities observed between radon and methane, and the substantial amount of both gases measured at the base of the tree, we suspect soils to be the primary source of methane emissions from trees. In assessing the contribution of trees to climate change, knees should be considered because they contribute a substantial amount of very potent greenhouse gas to the atmosphere.

description: This paper describes the use of machine learning methods to build a decision support system for predicting the distribution of coastal ocean algal blooms based on remote sensing data in Monterey Bay. This system can help scientists obtain prior information in a large ocean region and formulate strategies for deploying robots in the coastal ocean for more detailed in situ exploration. The difficulty is that there are insufficient in situ data to create a direct statistical machine learning model with satellite data inputs. To solve this problem, we built a Random Forest model using MODIS and MERIS satellite data and applied a threshold filter to balance the training inputs and labels. To build this model, several features of remote sensing satellites were tested to obtain the most suitable features for the system. After building the model, we compared our random forest model with previous trials based on a Support Vector Machine (SVM) using satellite data from 221 days, and our approach performed significantly better. Finally, we used the latest in situ data from a September 2014 field experiment to validate our model.

description: For many piano teachers, developing proficient reading skills in their young beginner students is one of the important aspects of weekly lessons yet it can also be one of the most frustrating tasks to undertake. To assist in this process, teachers look to method books to provide structure and an approach to music reading. Two reading approaches are prevalent in the current marketplace and widely used by teachers; the mixed intervallic approach and the middle C approach. The mixed intervallic approach, which stresses reading by interval, pattern and direction, is favoured and endorsed by current pedagogy and is adopted by many method books. This study compared the reading skills of young beginner piano students (ages 7-11) using either the mixed intervallic approach or the middle C approach to see which approach produced more reliable reading skills. Participants performed several music reading tasks to test keyboard identification (verbal), note identification in treble and bass clef (verbal), single note identification in C and G position (playing), broken and solid intervals in C and G position (playing), 3 note patterns and non-patterns in C and G position (playing), and sight reading. I hypothesized that the middle C students would perform better at single note identification while the mixed intervallic students would perform better in interval recognition, pattern recognition and sight reading. The results showed that the middle C students outperformed the mixed intervallic students in all tests except for keyboard identification and 3 note patterns in G position. These findings are surprising as they may indicate that the middle C approach, which is often criticized, is generating reliable reading skills among beginner piano students.

In addition, an excitation function of iT11(theta_c.m.=87.8 degrees) for 431.3 <= E_c.m. <= 2000 keV is presented. These data are compared to calculations employing realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions, both with and without three-nucleon forces. Excellent agreement with the tensor analyzing powers and cross section is found, while the Ay and iT11 data are found to be underpredicted by the calculations.

description: We investigate the decay of $a^+_1(1260) \to π^+ π^+ π^-$ with the assumption that the $a_1(1260)$ is dynamically generated from the coupled channel $ρπ$ and $\bar{K}K^*$ interactions. In addition to the tree level diagrams that proceed via $a^+_1(1260) \to ρ^0 π^+ \to π^+π^+ π^-$, we take into account also the final state interactions of $ππ\to ππ$ and $K \bar{K} \to ππ$. We calculate the invariant $π^+ π^-$ mass distribution and also the total decay width of $a^+_1(1260) \to π^+ π^+ π^-$ as a function of the mass of $a_1(1260)$. The calculated total decay width of $a_1(1260)$ is significantly different from other model calculations and tied to the dynamical nature of the $a_1(1260)$ resonance. The future experimental observations could test of model calculations and would provide vary valuable information on the relevance of the $ρπ$ component in the $a_1(1260)$ wave function.

description: We study the phenomenological impact of the pre-equilibrium glasma initial stage of heavy-ion collisions on heavy quark azimuthal correlations and spectra. Using our numerical solver, we simulate the transport of heavy quark test particles in an SU(3) glasma background field. The glasma field equations are formulated using classical real-time lattice gauge theory, and the heavy quark dynamics are described by classical transport equations numerically solved using the colored particle-in-cell method. For the first time, the effect of the glasma stage on the azimuthal correlations of $c\overline{c}$ and $b\overline{b}$ pairs is studied. The resulting azimuthal width $σ_{Δϕ}$ exhibits a large and quick decorrelation due to the strong glasma fields. Further, we evaluate how the $p_T$-broadening in the glasma affects heavy quark $p_T$-spectra, which are initialized according to the Fixed-Order Next-to-Leading Logarithm (FONLL) heavy quark production calculation. The nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ is extracted for $c$ and $b$ quarks in the glasma and additional nuclear PDF effects accounting for gluon shadowing are included.

description: We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 in complete quiescence. In contrast to the 1995 photometry, the light curves from 1996 are almost completely dominated by ellipsoidal modulations from the secondary star. Model fits to the light curves, which take into account the temperature profile of the accretion disk and eclipse effects, yield an inclination of i=69.50 +/- 0.08 degrees and a mass ratio of Q=2.99 +/- 0.08. The precision of our determinations of i and Q allow us to determine the black hole mass to an accuracy of approximately 4% (7.02 +/- 0.22 solar masses). The secondary star's mass is 2.34 +/- 0.12 solar masses. The position of the secondary on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is consistent with that of a 2.3 solar mass star which has evolved off the main sequence and is halfway to the start of the giant branch. Using the new spectra we present an improved value of the spectroscopic period (2.62157 +/- 0.00015 days), radial velocity semiamplitude (228.2 +/- 2.2 km/sec), and mass function (3.24 +/- 0.09 solar masses). Evolutionary models suggest an average mass transfer rate for such a system of 3.4E-9 solar masses per year (2.16E+17 grams per second), which is much larger than the average mass transfer rates implied in the other six transient black hole systems, but still barely below the critical mass transfer rate required for stability.

description: We report the results of multiwavelength observations of the superluminal X-ray transient GRO J1655-40 during and following the prominent hard X-ray outburst of March-April 1995. GRO J1655-40 was continuously monitored by BATSE on board CGRO, and repeatedly observed in the radio and optical bands from the ground. About a month after the onset of the hard X-ray outburst, GRO J1655-40 was observed twice by HST on April 25 and 27 1995, with the aim of detecting faint optical emission from ejected plasmoids. Despite the similarity of the hard X-ray emission in April 1995 with previous events in 1994, no radio or optical emission related to plasmoids was detected. We conclude that GRO J1655-40 is subject to a complex behavior showing: radio-loud hard X-ray outbursts with strong radio emission (of flux $f_r \goe 100$~mJy) both from a `core' source and from propagating plasmoids (as those in 1994), and radio-quiet hard X-ray outbursts with no detectable radio emission and plasmoid activity ($f_r \loe 0.5$~mJy) (as those in 1995). Our results can constrain models of particle acceleration and radiation of relativistic plasmoids.

description: In probabilistic approaches to classification and information extraction, one typically builds a statistical model of words under the assumption that future data will exhibit the same regularities as the training data. In many data sets, however, there are scope- limited features whose predictive power is only applicable to a certain subset of the data. For example, in information extraction from web pages, word formatting may be indicative of extraction category in diffenent ways on different web pages. The difficulty with using such features is capturing and exploiting the new regularities encountered in previously unseen data. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical probabilistic model that uses both local/scope-limited features, such as word formatting, and global features, such as word content. The local regularities are modeled as an unobserved random parameter which is drawn once for each local data set. This random parameter is estimated during the inference process and then used to perform classification with both the local and global features| a procedure which is akin to automatically retuning the classifier to the local regularities on each newly encountered web page. Exact inference is intractable and we present approximations via point estimates and variational methods. Empirical results on large collections of web data demonstrate that this method significantly improves performance from traditional models of global features alone.
title: The Influence of the Renaissance on Surrealism
Creators: name: Tsolkas, Athanasios
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: This thesis will investigate the relationship between Surrealism and Renaissance art. Ostensibly, Surrealism rejected the Renaissance as a manifestation of the rational classicism and bourgeois individualism that Surrealists were rebelling against. André Breton, the leading theorist of Surrealism, stated his opposition to Renaissance art and culture in several texts, including the first Surrealist Manifesto of 1924. Yet a recurring influence of Renaissance art can be identified in the works of leading surrealist artists like Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst, or even in Breton's own writings. The Italian Renaissance artists chosen for analysis are Paolo Uccello, Piero di Cosimo and Leonardo da Vinci; the Northern Renaissance artists are Hieronymus Bosch, Matthias Grünewald and Peter Brueghel the Elder. The main questions that will be explored are the following:
1. How were Surrealist artists influenced by these Renaissance artists?
2. Can elements of irrationality and unconscious creativity be identified in Renaissance art? 
3. Was the Renaissance more 'surreal' than Breton allowed? 
4. Why did Surrealists like Dalí and Ernst have an obsessive interest in Renaissance art and how did this manifest itself?
5. Why did the Surrealists and other twentieth-century artists employ figures, symbols, themes and motifs deriving from Italian and Northern European Renaissance art?

description: We use classical equations of motion for heavy quarks to show that the pre-equilibrium glasma phase of a heavy ion collision has an extremely strong effect on heavy quark angular correlations. At the same time, the effect on the single inclusive spectrum is much more moderate. This suggests that $D\overline{D}$ meson angular correlations in future LHC measurements could provide direct experimental access to the physics of the pre-equilibrium stage.

The extracted total cross sections for the $pd\to {^3He} π^0$ reactions bridge a gap between near threshold data and those in the resonance region. The ratio of the cross sections for the two reaction channels taken at the same $η={p^{cm}_π}/m_π$ yields $2.11\pm0.08$ indicating that a deviation from isospin symmetry is very small.

description: We investigate a topological superconducting wire with balanced gain and loss that is effectively described by the non-Hermitian Kitaev/Majorana chain with parity-time symmetry. This system is shown to possess two distinct types of unconventional edge modes, those with complex energies and nonorthogonal Majorana zero modes. The latter edge modes cause nonlocal particle transport with currents that are localized at the edges and absent in the bulk. This anomalous particle transport results from the interplay between parity-time symmetry (non-Hermiticity) and topological superconductivity.

Distant Companions and Planets around Millisecond Pulsars

description: We present a general method for determining the masses and orbital parameters of binary millisecond pulsars with long orbital periods (P_orb >> 1 yr), using timing data in the form of pulse frequency derivatives. We apply our method to analyze the properties of the second companion in the PSR B1620-26 triple system. We use the latest timing data for this system to constrain the mass and orbital parameters of the second companion. We find that all possible solutions have a mass m_2 in the range 2.4 10^-4 M_sun <= m_2 sin i_2 <= 1.2 10^-2 M_sun, i.e., almost certainly excluding a second companion of stellar mass and suggesting instead that the system contains a planet or a brown dwarf. Using Monte-Carlo realizations of the triple configuration in three dimensions we find the most probable value of m_2 to be 0.010(5) M_sun, corresponding to a distance of 38(6) AU from the center of mass of the inner binary (the errors indicate 80% confidence intervals). We also apply our method to analyze the planetary system around PSR B1257+12, where a distant, giant planet may be present in addition to the three well-established Earth-mass planets. We find that the simplest interpretation of the frequency derivatives implies the presence of a fourth planet with a mass of ~100 M_earth in a circular orbit of radius ~40 AU.

description: We propose a search strategy for the light R0 (glueballino) particle suggested by G.Farrar in connection with the light gluino scenario. The basic idea is to moderate and stop the R0 particles and then observe their decay to almost monochromatic pions - at an appropriate time delay relative to a primary collision event, where a gluino jet, likely to fragment into the R0, was produced. This technique is optimized at colliders and depends on qualitative features of the R0 hadronic interactions which we discuss in detail.

Weak Lensing of the CMB: A Harmonic Approach

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Weak lensing of CMB anisotropies and polarization for the power spectra and higher order statistics can be handled directly in harmonic-space without recourse to real-space correlation functions. For the power spectra, this approach not only simplifies the calculations but is also readily generalized from the usual flat-sky approximation to the exact all-sky form by replacing Fourier harmonics with spherical harmonics. Counterintuitively, due to the nonlinear nature of the effect, errors in the flat-sky approximation do not improve on smaller scales. They remain at the 10% level through the acoustic regime and are sufficiently large to merit adoption of the all-sky formalism. For the bispectra, a cosmic variance limited detection of the correlation with secondary anisotropies has an order of magnitude greater signal-to-noise for combinations involving magnetic parity polarization than those involving the temperature alone. Detection of these bispectra will however be severely noise and foreground limited even with the Planck satellite, leaving room for improvement with higher sensitivity experiments. We also provide a general study of the correspondence between flat and all sky potentials, deflection angles, convergence and shear for the power spectra and bispectra.

description: The Wiener polarity index of a graph is defined as the number of unordered pairs of vertices at distance three. In recent years, this topological index was extensively studied since it has many known applications in chemistry and also in network theory. In this paper, we generalize the result of Behmaram, Yousefi-Azari, and Ashrafi proved in 2012 for calculating the Wiener polarity index of a graph. An important advantage of our generalization is that it can be used for graphs that contain $4$-cycles and also for graphs whose different cycles have more than one common edge. In addition, using the main result a closed formula for the Wiener polarity index is derived for phenylenes and recalculated for catacondensed benzenoid graphs. The catacondensed benzenoid graphs and phenylenes attaining the extremal values with respect to the Wiener polarity index are also characterized.

description: The double beta decay study of 160-Gd has been performed in the Solotvina Underground Laboratory with the help of Gd_2SiO_5(Ce) crystal scintillator (volume 95 cc). The background of the detector in the vicinity of the 2 beta energy of 160-Gd was reduced to 1.0 cpd/keV kg. The new improved half-life limits have been established for neutrinoless 2 beta decay of 160-Gd to the ground and first excited levels of 160-Dy: T1/2 > 2.3(1.3)E21 yr at 68%(90%) C.L. The T1/2 bounds have been also set for two neutrino mode as well as for 2 beta decay with Majorons emission. Also the limits were established for different 2 beta decay processes in 136-Ce, 138-Ce and 142-Ce.

description: Meetings are a very important part of everyday life for professionals working in universities, companies or governmental institutions.We have designed a physical awareness system called CAMEO (Camera Assisted Meeting Event Observer), a hardware/software system to record and monitor people’s activities in meetings. CAMEO captures a high resolution omnidirectional view of the meeting by stitching images coming from almost concentric cameras. Besides recording capability, CAMEO automatically detects people and learns a person-specific facial appearance model (PSFAM) for each of the participants. The PSFAMs allow more robust/reliable tracking and identification. In this paper, we describe the video-capturing device, photometric/geometric autocalibration process, and the multiple people tracking system. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed system is demonstrated over several real-time experiments and a large data set of videos.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Hierarchical state machines have proven to be a powerful tool for controlling autonomous robots due to their flexibility and modularity. For most real robot implementations, however, it is often the case that the control hierarchy is hand-coded. As a result, the development process is often time intensive and error prone. In this paper, we explore the use of an experts learning approach, based on Auer and colleagues’ Exp3 [1], to help overcome some of these limitations. In particular, we develop a modified learning algorithm, which we call rExp3, that exploits the structure provided by a control hierarchary by treating each state machine as an ’expert’. Our experiments validate the performance of rExp3 on a real robot performing a task, and demonstrate that rExp3 is able to quickly learn to select the best state machine expert to execute. Through our investigations in these environments, we identify a need for faster learning recovery when the relative performances of experts reorder, such as in response to a discrete environment change. We introduce a modified learning rule to improve the recovery rate in these situations and demonstrate through simulation experiments that rExp3 performs as well or better than Exp3 under such conditions.
Fast radio bursts' recipes for the distributions of dispersion measures, flux densities, and fluences

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We investigate how the statistical properties of dispersion measure (DM) and apparent flux density/fluence of (non-repeating) fast radio bursts (FRBs) are determined by unknown cosmic rate density history [$\rhoFRB (z)$] and luminosity function (LF) of the transient events. We predict the distributions of DMs, flux densities, and fluences of FRBs taking account of the variation of the receiver efficiency within its beam, using analytical models of $\rhoFRB (z)$ and LF. Comparing the predictions with the observations, we show that the cumulative distribution of apparent fluences suggests that FRBs originate at cosmological distances and $\rhoFRB$ increases with redshift resembling cosmic star formation history (CSFH). We also show that a LF model with a bright-end cutoff at log$_{10}L_ν$ [erg s$^{-1}$Hz$^{-1}$] $\sim$ 34 are favored to reproduce the observed DM distribution if $\rhoFRB (z)\propto$ CSFH, although the statistical significance of the constraints obtained with the current size of the observed sample is not high. Finally, we find that the correlation between DM and flux density of FRBs is potentially a powerful tool to distinguish whether FRBs are at cosmological distances or in the local universe more robustly with future observations.

Integrative genomic characterization identifies molecular subtypes of lung carcinoids

Year: 2019

description: Lung carcinoids (LC) are rare and slow growing primary lung neuroendocrine tumors. We performed targeted exome sequencing, mRNA sequencing, and DNA methylation array analysis on macro-dissected LCs. Recurrent mutations were enriched for genes involved in covalent histone modification/chromatin remodeling (34.5%; MEN1, ARID1A, KMT2C, and KMT2A) as well as DNA repair (17.2%) pathways. Unsupervised clustering and principle component analysis on gene expression and DNA methylation profiles showed three robust molecular subtypes (LC1, LC2, LC3) with distinct clinical features. MEN1 gene mutations were found to be exclusively enriched in the LC2 subtype. LC1 and LC3 subtypes were predominately found at peripheral and endobronchial lung, respectively. The LC3 subtype was diagnosed at a younger age than LC1 and LC2 subtypes. IHC staining of two biomarkers, ASCL1 and S100, sufficiently stratified the three subtypes. This molecular classification of LCs into three subtypes may facilitate understanding of their molecular mechanisms and improve diagnosis and clinical management.

Significance: Integrative genomic analysis of lung carcinoids identifies three novel molecular subtypes with distinct clinical features and provides insight into their distinctive molecular signatures of tumorigenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis.

description: We report on the search for optical counterparts of Planck Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster candidates using a 0.6 meter non-professional telescope. Among the observed sources, an unconfirmed candidate, PSZ2 G156.24+22.32, is found to be associated with a region of more than 100 galaxies within a 3 arcminutes radius around the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich maximum signal coordinates. Using 14 hours of cumulated exposure over the Sloan color filters g', r', i', and, z', we estimate the photometric redshift of these galaxies at zphot=0.29 +- 0.08. Using the red-sequence galaxy method gives a photometric redshift of 0.30 +0.03 -0.05. Combined with the Planck SZ proxy mass function, this would favor a cluster of 4.4 x 10^{14} solar masses. This result suggests that a dedicated pool of observatories equipped with such instruments could collectively contribute to optical follow-up programs of massive cluster candidates at moderate redshifts.
