description: Megadroughts are comparable in severity to the worst droughts of the 20th century but are of much longer duration. A megadrought in the American Southwest would impose unprecedented stress on the limited water resources of the area, making it critical to evaluate future risks not only under different climate change mitigation scenarios but also for different aspects of regional hydroclimate. We find that changes in the mean hydroclimate state, rather than its variability, determine megadrought risk in the American Southwest. Estimates of megadrought probabilities based on precipitation alone tend to underestimate risk. Furthermore, business-as-usual emissions of greenhouse gases will drive regional warming and drying, regardless of large precipitation uncertainties. We find that regional temperature increases alone push megadrought risk above 70, 90, or 99% by the end of the century, even if precipitation increases moderately, does not change, or decreases, respectively. Although each possibility is supported by some climate model simulations, the latter is the most common outcome for the American Southwest in Coupled Model Intercomparison 5 generation models. An aggressive reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions cuts megadrought risks nearly in half.

description: Human language acquisition is an efficient, supervised, and continual process. In this work, we took inspiration from how human babies acquire their first language, and developed a computational process for word acquisition through comparative learning. Motivated by cognitive findings, we generated a small dataset that enables the computation models to compare the similarities and differences of various attributes, learn to filter out and extract the common information for each shared linguistic label. We frame the acquisition of words as not only the information filtration process, but also as representation-symbol mapping. This procedure does not involve a fixed vocabulary size, nor a discriminative objective, and allows the models to continually learn more concepts efficiently. Our results in controlled experiments have shown the potential of this approach for efficient continual learning of grounded words.

description: Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV) is a widespread RNA virus of honey bees that has been linked with colony losses. Here we describe the transmission, prevalence, and genetic traits of this virus, along with host transcriptional responses to infections. Further, we present RNAi-based strategies for limiting an important mechanism used by IAPV to subvert host defenses. Our study shows that IAPV is established as a persistent infection in honey bee populations, likely enabled by both horizontal and vertical transmission pathways. The phenotypic differences in pathology among different strains of IAPV found globally may be due to high levels of standing genetic variation. Microarray profiles of host responses to IAPV infection revealed that mitochondrial function is the most significantly affected biological process, suggesting that viral infection causes significant disturbance in energy-related host processes. The expression of genes involved in immune pathways in adult bees indicates that IAPV infection triggers active immune responses. The evidence that silencing an IAPV-encoded putative suppressor of RNAi reduces IAPV replication suggests a functional assignment for a particular genomic region of IAPV and closely related viruses from the Family Dicistroviridae, and indicates a novel therapeutic strategy for limiting multiple honey bee viruses simultaneously and reducing colony losses due to viral diseases. We believe that the knowledge and insights gained from this study will provide a new platform for continuing studies of the IAPV–host interactions and have positive implications for disease management that will lead to mitigation of escalating honey bee colony losses worldwide.

description: Over the past years, fashion-related challenges have gained a lot of attention in the research community. Outfit generation and recommendation, i.e., the composition of a set of items of different types (e.g., tops, bottom, shoes, accessories) that go well together, are among the most challenging ones. That is because items have to be both compatible amongst each other and also personalized to match the taste of the customer. Recently there has been a plethora of work targeted at tackling these problems by adopting various techniques and algorithms from the machine learning literature. However, to date, there is no extensive comparison of the performance of the different algorithms for outfit generation and recommendation. In this paper, we close this gap by providing a broad evaluation and comparison of various algorithms, including both personalized and non-personalized approaches, using online, real-world user data from one of Europe's largest fashion stores. We present the adaptations we made to some of those models to make them suitable for personalized outfit generation. Moreover, we provide insights for models that have not yet been evaluated on this task, specifically, GPT, BERT and Seq-to-Seq LSTM.

description: Complex systems are often inherently non-ergodic and non-Markovian for which Shannon entropy loses its applicability. In particular accelerating, path-dependent, and aging random walks offer an intuitive picture for these non-ergodic and non-Markovian systems. It was shown that the entropy of non-ergodic systems can still be derived from three of the Shannon-Khinchin axioms, and by violating the fourth -- the so-called composition axiom. The corresponding entropy is of the form $S_{c,d} \sim \sum_i Γ(1+d,1-c\ln p_i)$ and depends on two system-specific scaling exponents, $c$ and $d$. This entropy contains many recently proposed entropy functionals as special cases, including Shannon and Tsallis entropy. It was shown that this entropy is relevant for a special class of non-Markovian random walks. In this work we generalize these walks to a much wider class of stochastic systems that can be characterized as `aging' systems. These are systems whose transition rates between states are path- and time-dependent. We show that for particular aging walks $S_{c,d}$ is again the correct extensive entropy. Before the central part of the paper we review the concept of $(c,d)$-entropy in a self-contained way.

description: The motion of glaciers can be simulated with the $p$-Stokes equations. Up to now, Newton's method to solve these equations has been analyzed in finite-dimensional settings only. We analyze the problem in infinite dimensions to gain a new viewpoint. We do that by proving global convergence of the infinite-dimensional Newton's method with Armijo step sizes to the solution of these equations. We only have to add an arbitrarily small diffusion term for this convergence result. We prove that the additional diffusion term only causes minor differences in the solution compared to the original $p$-Stokes equations under the assumption of some regularity. Finally, we test our algorithms on two experiments: A reformulation of the experiment ISMIP-HOM $B$ without sliding and a block with sliding. For the former, the approximation of exact step sizes for the Picard iteration and exact step sizes and Armijo step sizes for Newton's method are superior in the experiment compared to the Picard iteration. For the latter experiment, Newton's method with Armijo step sizes needs many iterations until it converges fast to the solution. Thus, Newton's method with approximately exact step sizes is better than Armijo step sizes in this experiment.

description: This work analyzes the constant-Q filterbank-based time-frequency representations for speech emotion recognition (SER). Constant-Q filterbank provides non-linear spectro-temporal representation with higher frequency resolution at low frequencies. Our investigation reveals how the increased low-frequency resolution benefits SER. The time-domain comparative analysis between short-term mel-frequency spectral coefficients (MFSCs) and constant-Q filterbank-based features, namely constant-Q transform (CQT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT), reveals that constant-Q representations provide higher time-invariance at low-frequencies. This provides increased robustness against emotion irrelevant temporal variations in pitch, especially for low-arousal emotions. The corresponding frequency-domain analysis over different emotion classes shows better resolution of pitch harmonics in constant-Q-based time-frequency representations than MFSC. These advantages of constant-Q representations are further consolidated by SER performance in the extensive evaluation of features over four publicly available databases with six advanced deep neural network architectures as the back-end classifiers. Our inferences in this study hint toward the suitability and potentiality of constant-Q features for SER.

description: The ground state of atoms from H to Ar was calculated using a self-interaction correction to local and gradient dependent density functionals. The correction can significantly improve the total energy and makes the orbital energies consistent with ionization energies. However, when the calculation is restricted to real orbitals, application of the self-interaction correction can give significantly higher total energy and worse results, as illustrated by the case of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof gradient dependent functional. This illustrates the importance of using complex orbitals for systems described by orbital density dependent energy functionals.

description: We study a lattice gas model of hard-core particles on a square lattice experiencing nearest neighbour attraction $J$. Each particle has an internal orientation, independent of the others, that point towards one of the four nearest neighbour and it can move to the neighbouring site along that direction with the usual Metropolis rate if the target site is vacant. The internal orientation of the particle can also change to any of the other three with a constant rate $ω.$ The dynamics of the model in $ω\to \infty$ reduces to that of the Lattice Gas (LG) which exhibits a phase separation transition at particle density $ρ=\frac12$ and temperature $T=1,$ when the strength of attraction $J$ crosses a threshold value $\ln(1+ \sqrt{2}).$ This transition belongs to Ising universality class. For any finite $ω>0,$ the particles can be considered as attractive run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) in two dimensions with motility $ω^{-1}.$ We find that RTPs also exhibit a phase separation transition, but the critical interaction required is $J_c(ω)$ which increases monotonically with increased motility $ω^{-1}.$ It appears that the transition belongs to Ising universality class. Surprisingly, in these models, motility impedes cluster formation process necessitating higher interaction to stabilize microscopic clusters. Moreover, MIPS like phases are not found when $J=0.$

description: We present a nonequilibrium strong-coupling approach to inhomogeneous systems of ultracold atoms in optical lattices. We demonstrate its application to the Mott-insulating phase of a two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model in the presence of a trap potential. Since the theory is formulated self-consistently, the numerical implementation relies on a massively parallel evaluation of the self-energy and the Green's function at each lattice site, employing thousands of CPUs. While the computation of the self-energy is straightforward to parallelize, the evaluation of the Green's function requires the inversion of a large sparse $10^d\times 10^d$ matrix, with $d > 6$. As a crucial ingredient, our solution heavily relies on the smallness of the hopping as compared to the interaction strength and yields a widely scalable realization of a rapidly converging iterative algorithm which evaluates all elements of the Green's function. Results are validated by comparing with the homogeneous case via the local-density approximation. These calculations also show that the local-density approximation is valid in non-equilibrium setups without mass transport.

description: Abstract
This study aims to analyze the legal protection for prisoners to obtain parole rights from a human rights perspective. The research method used is normative juridical. The results showed that the legal protection of prisoners is an effort to protect the law against various freedoms of prisoners (fundamental rights and freedoms of prisoners) as well as various interests related to the welfare of prisoners. One of the prisoners' rights is parole. Parole is the process of coaching a prisoner outside the correctional facility after serving at least 2/3 (two thirds) of his sentence provided that 2/3 (two thirds) of the sentence is a minimum of 9 (nine) months. from the function of a correctional institution, which is one of the parts of the Indonesian criminal justice system, namely the Police, the Attorney General's Office and the Court. The provisions regarding parole in Indonesian laws and regulations, for the first time, are contained in the term conditional release in the Criminal Code (KUHP), Law Number 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections, and Decree of the Minister of Justice Number M.01- PK.04.10 Year 1999 concerning Assimilation, Parole and Leave Towards Free.

description: A large number of empirical studies on applying self-attention models in the domain of recommender systems are based on offline evaluation and metrics computed on standardized datasets, without insights on how these models perform in real life scenarios. Moreover, many of them do not consider information such as item and customer metadata, although deep-learning recommenders live up to their full potential only when numerous features of heterogeneous types are included. Also, typically recommendation models are designed to serve well only a single use case, which increases modeling complexity and maintenance costs, and may lead to inconsistent customer experience. In this work, we present a reusable Attention-based Fashion Recommendation Algorithm (AFRA), that utilizes various interaction types with different fashion entities such as items (e.g., shirt), outfits and influencers, and their heterogeneous features. Moreover, we leverage temporal and contextual information to address both short and long-term customer preferences. We show its effectiveness on outfit recommendation use cases, in particular: 1) personalized ranked feed; 2) outfit recommendations by style; 3) similar item recommendation and 4) in-session recommendations inspired by most recent customer actions. We present both offline and online experimental results demonstrating substantial improvements in customer retention and engagement.

Finally, we illustrate this correspondence by comparing the quantum mechanical and electromagnetic systems for some simple, analytically soluble examples and outline future V&V work based on the framework presented here.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine how online synchronous teaching using Zoom might be enhanced by incorporating multimedia principles from the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML). A live lecture teaching experiment was conducted where students were randomly assigned to attend a standard lesson on Zoom (control condition) or the same lesson but with the multimedia principles (signaling, embodiment, and generative activity principles) applied throughout lesson (treatment condition). Results revealed a direct effect of teaching with CTML principles on students’ learning, but there was no evidence for an indirect effect through working memory overload. Additionally, students had more affect toward the (same) instructor who taught with added CTML principles. Pedagogical implications and advice are offered for instructors who teach using Zoom.

description: In this work the correlations between spatial concentrations of active nuclei (NLS and BLS) and concentration of galaxies of full uniform sample were obtained. Methods, developed by the author in earlier paper were used. Galaxies of this uniform sample trace the large-scale structure. We used SDSS DR 7 data. The correlations obtained are linear and the NLS/BLS ratio is constant. That leads to conclusion that amounts NLS and BLS are some fixed fraction of all galaxies independent on the density of large-scale environment. In order to check validity of our results were also confirmed the well known result that fraction of red galaxies increases with density of environment. Also it was confirmed that this trend is more prominent for less massive galaxies.

description: We report a new geometric maser distance estimate to the active galaxy NGC 4258. The data for the new model are maser line-of-sight velocities and sky positions from 18 epochs of Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations, and line-of-sight accelerations measured from a 10-year monitoring program of the 22 GHz maser emission of NGC 4258. The new model includes both disk warping and confocal elliptical maser orbits with differential precession. The distance to NGC 4258 is 7.60 +/- 0.17 +/- 0.15 Mpc, a 3% uncertainty including formal fitting and systematic terms. The resulting Hubble Constant, based on the use of the Cepheid Variables in NGC 4258 to recalibrate the Cepheid distance scale (Riess et al. 2011), is H_0 = 72.0 +/- 3.0 km/s/Mpc.

Star-galaxy separation strategies for WISE-2MASS all-sky infrared galaxy catalogs

description: We combine photometric information of the WISE and 2MASS all-sky infrared databases, and demonstrate how to produce clean and complete galaxy catalogs for future analyses. Adding 2MASS colors to WISE photometry improves star-galaxy separation efficiency substantially at the expense of loosing a small fraction of the galaxies. We find that 93% of the WISE objects within W1<15.2 mag have a 2MASS match, and that a class of supervised machine learning algorithms, Support Vector Machines (SVM), are efficient classifiers of objects in our multicolor data set. We constructed a training set from the SDSS PhotoObj table with known star-galaxy separation, and determined redshift distribution of our sample from the GAMA spectroscopic survey. Varying the combination of photometric parameters input into our algorithm we show that W1 - J is a simple and effective star-galaxy separator, capable of producing results comparable to the multi-dimensional SVM classification. We present a detailed description of our star-galaxy separation methods, and characterize the robustness of our tools in terms of contamination, completeness, and accuracy. We explore systematics of the full sky WISE-2MASS galaxy map, such as contamination from Moon glow. We show that the homogeneity of the full sky galaxy map is improved by an additional J<16.5 mag flux limit. The all-sky galaxy catalog we present in this paper covers 21,200 sq. degrees with dusty regions masked out, and has an estimated stellar contamination of 1.2% and completeness of 70.1% among 2.4 million galaxies with $z_{med}= 0.14$. WISE-2MASS galaxy maps with well controlled stellar contamination will be useful for spatial statistical analyses, including cross correlations with other cosmological random fields, such as the Cosmic Microwave Background. The same techniques also yield a statistically controlled sample of stars as well.

Access control is more important in these types of systems because different kind of users access the system on different levels. So a proper architecture must be there for these kinds of systems, for providing an efficient and secure system. As lot of work was done in RBAC like for grouping, securing the system, ease of use, and for enterprise etc but no one apply all these concepts as a whole on institution level. So, this paper will be a step towards administrative load sharing, securing the system, and ease of use.

description: Colour-kinematics duality is a remarkable property of Yang-Mills theory. Its validity implies a relation between gauge theory and gravity scattering amplitudes, known as double copy. Albeit fully established at the tree level, its extension to the loop level is conjectural. Lifting the on-shell, scattering amplitudes-based description to the level of action functionals, we argue that a theory that exhibits tree-level colour-kinematics duality can be reformulated in a way such that its loop integrands manifest a generalised form of colour-kinematics duality. Moreover, we show how the structures of higher homotopy theory naturally describe this off-shell reformulation of colour-kinematics duality.

title: An empirical model for attributing sources of particulate matter

description: Airborne particulate matter (PM) pollution is well-known to have significant adverse effects on human health. It also has a range of environmental effects, including local reductions in visibility, effects on the radiative balance and deposition of contaminated material onto land and waterways. Because of these effects, PM concentrations are routinely monitored in numerous countries and managed according to local legislation.

In New Zealand, the National Environmental Standard (NES) for PM sets a 24-hour average limit for PM10 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters less than 10 µm) concentrations at 50 µg m-3 with regulatory authorities required to report exceedances and manage air quality to reduce pollution concentrations. Many urban areas in New Zealand exceed the NES repeatedly each year, particularly during the winter when wood combustion is used as a source of energy for home heating. Understanding the sources of air pollution and their relative contribution to total PM concentrations is therefore important for managing air quality to reduce the health impacts for exposed populations.

The National Air Particulate Matter Speciation Database (NAPMSD) held by the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS Science), contains air particulate matter compositional data for samples collected since 1998 at various New Zealand urban air quality monitoring sites. The particulate matter composition data has been used to identify the sources and how much they contribute to PM pollution concentrations at those locations. This quantitative source contribution data has been used to construct and test an empirical model to help define source contributions at those locations where particulate matter concentration monitoring data (PM2.5 and PM10) is available but there is no breakdown by source contributions. The delineation of source contributions to total particulate matter concentrations is useful to inform both regional and national policy to mitigate the health and socio-economic effects of air pollution in New Zealand. The empirical model was found to reproduce the peak winter contributions from biomass combustion (wood burning) for residential space heating when compared to the source apportionment data for the same locations. The results are such that there is confidence that the empirical model can be used to estimate monthly and annual average contributions at those locations where PM2.5 and PM10 concentration monitoring data is available (but no breakdown by source) for use in health effects studies or assessing winter particulate matter concentration trends.

description: In a previous work we showed that keV scale sterile neutrino dark matter $ν_s$ is possible to be detected in $β$ decay experiment using radioactive sources such as $^3$T or $^{106}$Ru. The signals of this dark matter candidate are mono-energetic electrons produced in neutrino capture process $ν_s + N' \to N +e^-$. These electrons have energy greater than the maximum energy of the electrons produced in the associated decay process $N' \to N +e^- + {\bar ν}_e$. Hence, signal electron events are well beyond the end point of the $β$ decay spectrum and are not polluted by the $β$ decay process. Another possible background, which is a potential threat to the detection of $ν_s$ dark matter, is the electron event produced by the scattering of solar neutrinos with electrons in target matter. In this article we study in detail this possible background and discuss its implication to the detection of keV scale sterile neutrino dark matter. In particular, bound state features of electrons in Ru atom are considered with care in the scattering process when the kinetic energy of the final electron is the same order of magnitude of the binding energy.

description: This work presents a sequential convex program method to compute fuel-optimal collision avoidance maneuvers for long-term encounters. The low-thrust acceleration model is used to account for the control, but the method can compute high-thrust maneuvers by increasing the maximum available acceleration. Dealing with the long-term conjunction poses additional challenges compared to the short-term problem because the encounter is not instantaneous. Thus, under the assumption of Gaussian statistics, the probability of collision is replaced by a simpler metric, the instantaneous probability of collision (IPoC) and a keep-out zone constraint is formulated as a continuous condition to be respected throughout the time frame of interest. The robustness of the solution is improved by introducing a constraint on the sensitivity of the IPoC. Furthermore, the collision avoidance problem is coupled with the classical station-keeping requirement for geostationary Earth orbit satellites and with a return to the nominal orbit condition for low Earth orbit satellites. Even though no guarantee is given for the recovery of the global optimum solution, numerical simulations in different orbital regimes show that the proposed approach can yield a local fuel-optimal solution with a run-time suitable for autonomous applications.

description: We study the novel nonlinear phenomena that emerge in a charge qubit due to the interplay between a strong microwave flux drive and a periodic Josephson potential. We first analyze the system in terms of the linear Landau-Zener-Stückelberg model, and show its inadequacy in a periodic system with several Landau-Zener crossings within a drive period. Experimentally, we probe the quasienergy levels of the driven qubit with an LC-cavity, which requires the use of linear response theory. We also show that our numerical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data.

description: Traditional detrending methods assign equal mean value to all tree-ring series for chronology developments, despite that the mean annual growth changes in different time periods. We find that the strength of a tree-ring model can be improved by giving more weights to tree-ring series that have a stronger climate signal and less weight to series that have a weaker signal. We thus present an ensemble weighting method to mitigate these potential biases and to more accurately extract the climate signals in dendroclimatology studies. This new method has been used to develop the first annual precipitation reconstruction (previous August to current July) at the Songmingyan Mountain and to recalculate the tree-ring chronology from Shenge site in Dulan area in northeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP), a marginal area of Asian summer monsoon. The ensemble weighting method explains 31.7% of instrumental variance for the reconstructions at Songmingyan Mountain and 57.3% of the instrumental variance in the Dulan area, which are higher than those developed using traditional methods. We focus on the newly introduced reconstruction at Songmingyan Mountain, which shows extremely dry (wet) epochs from 1862–1874, 1914–1933 and 1991–1999 (1882–1905). These dry/wet epochs were also found in the marginal areas of summer monsoon and the Indian subcontinent, indicating the linkages between regional hydroclimate changes and the Indian summer monsoon.

description: The Earth's turbulent atmosphere results in speckled and blurred images of astronomical objects when observed by ground based visible and near-infrared telescopes. Adaptive optics (AO) systems are employed to reduce these atmospheric effects by using wavefront sensors (WFS) and deformable mirrors. Some AO systems are not fast enough to correct for strong, fast, high turbulence wind layers leading to the wind butterfly effect, or wind-driven halo, reducing contrast capabilities in coronagraphic images. Estimating the effective wind speed of the atmosphere allows us to calculate the atmospheric coherence time. This is not only an important parameter to understand for site characterization but could be used to help remove the wind butterfly in post processing. Here we present a method for estimating the atmospheric effective wind speed from spatio-temporal covariance maps generated from pseudo open-loop (POL) WFS data. POL WFS data is used as it aims to reconstruct the full wavefront information when operating in closed-loop. The covariance maps show how different atmospheric turbulent layers traverse the telescope. Our method successfully recovered the effective wind speed from simulated WFS data generated with the soapy python library. The simulated atmospheric turbulence profiles consist of two turbulent layers of ranging strengths and velocities. The method has also been applied to Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) AO WFS data. This gives insight into how the effective wind speed can affect the wind-driven halo seen in the AO image point spread function. In this paper, we will present results from simulated and GPI WFS data.

description: Terahertz communication networks and intelligent reflecting surfaces exhibit significant potential in advancing wireless networks, particularly within the domain of aerial-based multi-access edge computing systems. These technologies enable efficient offloading of computational tasks from user electronic devices to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or local execution. For the generation of high-quality task-offloading allocations, conventional numerical optimization methods often struggle to solve challenging combinatorial optimization problems within the limited channel coherence time, thereby failing to respond quickly to dynamic changes in system conditions. To address this challenge, we propose a deep learning-based optimization framework called Iterative Order-Preserving policy Optimization (IOPO), which enables the generation of energy-efficient task-offloading decisions within milliseconds. Unlike exhaustive search methods, IOPO provides continuous updates to the offloading decisions without resorting to exhaustive search, resulting in accelerated convergence and reduced computational complexity, particularly when dealing with complex problems characterized by extensive solution spaces. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework can generate energy-efficient task-offloading decisions within a very short time period, outperforming other benchmark methods.
