description: Microbial contamination of drinking water contributes to a substantive and preventable burden of enteric disease that disproportionately impacts infants and children. The WHO has issued guidance on water quality monitoring and conducting sanitary inspections of water systems to detect and manage microbial risks. While water quality monitoring methods are well characterized, sanitary inspections as a tool for risk management in drinking water systems are less well studied. Sanitary Inspection (SI) is a low-cost, on-site risk assessment tool for water supply systems. We utilized SI and water quality data from 966 rural boreholes in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Burkina Faso and collected remote sensing rainfall estimates based on household location. Logistic regressions (binary and ordinal) were used to characterize associations of total SI risk score, individual risk factors (RFs), and classes of RFs (i.e., “Source,” “Transport,” and “Barrier” risks) and fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) occurrence as the outcome, controlling for prior rainfall from the day of sampling (ranging from 1-15 days). We found a statistically robust association (P<0.05, OR: 3.5, 95% CI 1.05-11.66) between sanitary inspection scores and E. coli risk levels at fifteen days of cumulative rainfall lag time. Furthermore, barrier failures such as the presence and adequacy of fencing, concrete pads, and walls extending below the ground were strongly associated (OR: 2.55, 95% CI 1.14-5.69, P value = 0.02) with WHO-defined E. coli risk category. When examining individual RFs in the regression models, presence of human excreta 10 m from source (OR: 2.53), absence of cement floor (OR: 0.16), loosely attached ground parts (OR:1.57), adequate fencing to keep animals out (OR: 0.57) and the presence of stagnant water (OR:1.39) were significantly associated with microbial contamination. Incorporating precipitation into models improved model fit characteristics (Pseudo R squared and AIC value), specifically, accounting for cumulative precipitation during the fifteen-day period prior to sampling improved predictions of E. coli contamination. These discoveries would enhance water quality monitoring, particularly during and after precipitation events, facilitating early detection of microbial contamination. These findings could improve design and construction of new boreholes and prompt remediation of identified SI issues in existing systems, with the potential to enhance water safety.

description: Over the last years, the software industry has adopted several DevOps technologies related to practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery. The high demand for DevOps practitioners requires non-trivial adjustments in traditional software engineering courses and educational methodologies. This work presents an interview study with 14 DevOps educators from different universities and countries, aiming to identify the main challenges and recommendations for DevOps teaching. Our study identified 83 challenges, 185 recommendations, and several association links and conflicts between them. Our findings can help educators plan, execute and evaluate DevOps courses. They also highlight several opportunities for researchers to propose new methods and tools for teaching DevOps.

description: Linear perturbation theory is a powerful toolkit for studying black hole spacetimes. However, the perturbation equations are hard to solve unless we can use separation of variables. In the Kerr spacetime, metric perturbations do not separate, but curvature perturbations do. The cost of curvature perturbations is a very complicated metric-reconstruction procedure. This procedure can be avoided using a symmetry-adapted choice of basis functions in highly symmetric spacetimes, such as near-horizon extremal Kerr. In this paper, we focus on this spacetime, and (i) construct the symmetry-adapted basis functions; (ii) show their orthogonality; and (iii) show that they lead to separation of variables of the scalar, Maxwell, and metric perturbation equations. This separation turns the system of partial differential equations into one of ordinary differential equations over a compact domain, the polar angle.

Moreover, we compute the butterfly velocity and study the charge and energy diffusion with broken translational symmetry. Our results show that the Weyl coupling $γ$, violates the bounds on the charge and energy diffusivity. It is also shown that the Weyl corrections violate the bound on the DC electrical conductivity in the incoherent limit.

description: We study relaxation dynamics of dark soliton, created by a phase-imprinted method, in a two-dimensional trapped Bose-Einstein condensate at non-zero temperatures by using the projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation. At absolute zero temperature, a dark soliton is known to decay with a snake instability. At non-zero temperature, as we expected, we find that this snake instability cannot be clearly seen as in the absolute zero temperature case because of the presence of thermal fluctuations. However, we find that the decay rate, the half width of the overlap integral with respect to the phase-imprinted initial state, shows a power low decay as a function of the energy and finally remains a non-zero value.

description: Vertical federated learning (VFL) attracts increasing attention due to the emerging demands of multi-party collaborative modeling and concerns of privacy leakage. A complete list of metrics to evaluate VFL algorithms should include model applicability, privacy security, communication cost, and computation efficiency, where privacy security is especially important to VFL. However, to the best of our knowledge, there does not exist a VFL algorithm satisfying all these criteria very well. To address this challenging problem, in this paper, we reveal that zeroth-order optimization (ZOO) is a desirable companion for VFL. Specifically, ZOO can 1) improve the model applicability of VFL framework, 2) prevent VFL framework from privacy leakage under curious, colluding, and malicious threat models, 3) support inexpensive communication and efficient computation. Based on that, we propose a novel and practical VFL framework with black-box models, which is inseparably interconnected to the promising properties of ZOO. We believe that it takes one stride towards designing a practical VFL framework matching all the criteria. Under this framework, we raise two novel {\bf asy}nchronous ze{\bf r}oth-ord{\bf e}r algorithms for {\bf v}ertical f{\bf e}derated {\bf l}earning (AsyREVEL) with different smoothing techniques. We theoretically drive the convergence rates of AsyREVEL algorithms under nonconvex condition. More importantly, we prove the privacy security of our proposed framework under existing VFL attacks on different levels. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the favorable model applicability, satisfied privacy security, inexpensive communication, efficient computation, scalability and losslessness of our framework.

description: A doubly synchronous binary asteroid simultaneously experiences YORP and BYORP, the former being independent of the radius of the orbit, while the latter linearly dependent on the radius. In many systems YORP and BYORP can compensate each other at some radius, causing an equilibrium state, to which other orbits converge in the course of their evolution. We derive mathematical formalism of such equilibria in terms of dimensionless YORP and BYORP coefficients. We compute YORP and BYORP coefficients for a set of photometric and radar shape models, and find equilibria to be relatively common.

description: We study the extinction properties of highly porous BCCA dust aggregates in a wide range of complex refractive indices ($1.4 \le n \le 2.0$, $0.001 \le k \le 1.0$) and wavelength ($0.11μm \le λ\le 3.4μm$). An attempt has been made for the first time to investigate the correlation among extinction efficiency ($Q_{ext}$), the composition of dust aggregates ($n, k$), the wavelength of radiation ($λ$) and size parameter of the monomers ($x$). If $k$ is fixed at any value between 0.001 and 1.0, $Q_{ext}$ increases with increase of $n$ from 1.4 to 2.0. $Q_{ext}$ and $n$ are correlated via \emph{linear} regression when the cluster size is small whereas the correlation is \emph{quadratic} at moderate and higher sizes of the cluster. This feature is observed at all wavelengths (UV to optical to infrared). We also find that the variation of $Q_{ext}$ with $n$ is very small when $λ$ is high. When $n$ is fixed at any value between 1.4 and 2.0, it is observed that $Q_{ext}$ and $k$ are correlated via polynomial regression equation (of degree 1, 2, 3 or 4), where the degree of the equation depends on the cluster size, $n$ and $λ$. The correlation is linear for small size and quadratic/cubic/quartic for moderate and higher sizes. We have also found that $Q_{ext}$ and $x$ are correlated via a polynomial regression (of degree 3,4 or 5) for all values of $n$. The degree of regression is found to be $n$ and $k$-dependent. The set of relations obtained from our work can be used to model interstellar extinction for dust aggregates in a wide range of wavelengths and complex refractive indices.

description: Due to the lack of properly annotated medical data, exploring the generalization capability of the deep model is becoming a public concern. Zero-shot learning (ZSL) has emerged in recent years to equip the deep model with the ability to recognize unseen classes. However, existing studies mainly focus on natural images, which utilize linguistic models to extract auxiliary information for ZSL. It is impractical to apply the natural image ZSL solutions directly to medical images, since the medical terminology is very domain-specific, and it is not easy to acquire linguistic models for the medical terminology. In this work, we propose a new paradigm of ZSL specifically for medical images utilizing cross-modality information. We make three main contributions with the proposed paradigm. First, we extract the prior knowledge about the segmentation targets, called relation prototypes, from the prior model and then propose a cross-modality adaptation module to inherit the prototypes to the zero-shot model. Second, we propose a relation prototype awareness module to make the zero-shot model aware of information contained in the prototypes. Last but not least, we develop an inheritance attention module to recalibrate the relation prototypes to enhance the inheritance process. The proposed framework is evaluated on two public cross-modality datasets including a cardiac dataset and an abdominal dataset. Extensive experiments show that the proposed framework significantly outperforms the state of the arts.

description: Recent advances in molecular biology and fluorescence microscopy imaging have made possible the inference of the dynamics of single molecules in living cells. Such inference allows to determine the organization and function of the cell. The trajectories of particles in the cells, computed with tracking algorithms, can be modelled with diffusion processes. Three types of diffusion are considered : (i) free diffusion; (ii) subdiffusion or (iii) superdiffusion. The Mean Square Displacement (MSD) is generally used to determine the different types of dynamics of the particles in living cells (Qian, Sheetz and Elson 1991). We propose here a non-parametric three-decision test as an alternative to the MSD method. The rejection of the null hypothesis -- free diffusion -- is accompanied by claims of the direction of the alternative (subdiffusion or a superdiffusion). We study the asymptotic behaviour of the test statistic under the null hypothesis, and under parametric alternatives which are currently considered in the biophysics literature, (Monnier et al,2012) for example. In addition, we adapt the procedure of Benjamini and Hochberg (2000) to fit with the three-decision test setting, in order to apply the test procedure to a collection of independent trajectories. The performance of our procedure is much better than the MSD method as confirmed by Monte Carlo experiments. The method is demonstrated on real data sets corresponding to protein dynamics observed in fluorescence microscopy.

description: We present an algorithm for L1-norm kernel PCA and provide a convergence analysis for it. While an optimal solution of L2-norm kernel PCA can be obtained through matrix decomposition, finding that of L1-norm kernel PCA is not trivial due to its non-convexity and non-smoothness. We provide a novel reformulation through which an equivalent, geometrically interpretable problem is obtained. Based on the geometric interpretation of the reformulated problem, we present a fixed-point type algorithm that iteratively computes a binary weight for each observation. As the algorithm requires only inner products of data vectors, it is computationally efficient and the kernel trick is applicable. In the convergence analysis, we show that the algorithm converges to a local optimal solution in a finite number of steps. Moreover, we provide a rate of convergence analysis, which has been never done for any L1-norm PCA algorithm, proving that the sequence of objective values converges at a linear rate. In numerical experiments, we show that the algorithm is robust in the presence of entry-wise perturbations and computationally scalable, especially in a large-scale setting. Lastly, we introduce an application to outlier detection where the model based on the proposed algorithm outperforms the benchmark algorithms.

description: Theories of dark energy and modified gravity can be strongly constrained by astrophysical or cosmological observations, as illustrated by the recent observation of the gravitational wave event GW170817 and of its electromagnetic counterpart GRB 170817A, which shows that the speed of gravitational waves, $c_g$, is the same as the speed of light, within deviations of order $10^{-15}$. This observation implies very severe restrictions on scalar-tensor theories, in particular theories whose action depends on second derivatives of a scalar field. Working in the very general framework of Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar-Tensor (DHOST) theories, which encompass Horndeski and Beyond Horndeski theories, we present the DHOST theories that satisfy $c_g=c$. We then examine, for these theories, the screening mechanism that suppresses scalar interactions on small scales, namely the Vainshtein mechanism, and compute the corresponding gravitational laws for a non-relativistic spherical body. We show that it can lead to a deviation from standard gravity inside matter, parametrized by three coefficients which satisfy a consistency relation and can be constrained by present and future astrophysical observations.

description: We prove existence and uniqueness of a stationary distribution and absolute regularity for nonlinear GARCH and INGARCH models of order (p,q). In contrast to previous work we impose, besides a geometric drift condition, only a semi-contractive condition which allows us to include models which would be ruled out by a fully contractive condition. This results in a subgeometric rather than the more usual geometric decay rate of the mixing coefficients. The proofs are heavily based on a coupling of two versions of the processes.We prove existence and uniqueness of a stationary distribution and absolute regularity for nonlinear GARCH and INGARCH models of order (p,q).

description: The number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling behavior of the elliptic flow of identified particles produced in A+A collisions is studied quantitatively using an empirical function that fits the experimental $v_2$ data available from the RHIC and LHC. The most common approach for NCQ scaling involves (1) doing a scaling of the experimental $v_2$ data of an identified particle with its NCQ, (2) doing the same to its transverse momentum or energy, then (3) combining all the scaled data and identifying the NCQ behavior by intuitively looking (since the measured experimental data are discrete). We define two variables $(d_1, d_2)$ to describe NCQ scaling quantitatively and simultaneously, and identify the approximate region where the NCQ scaling holds. This approach could be applied to study NCQ or other scaling phenomena in future experiments.

description: Communities are ubiquitous in nature and society. Individuals that share common properties often self-organize to form communities. Avoiding the shortages of computation complexity, pre-given information and unstable results in different run, in this paper, we propose a simple and effcient method to deepen our understanding of the emergence and diversity of communities in complex systems. By introducing the rational random selection, our method reveals the hidden deterministic and normal diverse community states of community structure. To demonstrate this method, we test it with real-world systems. The results show that our method could not only detect community structure with high sensitivity and reliability, but also provide instructional information about the hidden deterministic community world and our normal diverse community world by giving out the core-community, the real-community, the tide and the diversity. This is of paramount importance in understanding, predicting, and controlling a variety of collective behaviors in complex systems.

description: Online recommender systems should be always aligned with users' current interest to accurately suggest items that each user would like. Since user interest usually evolves over time, the update strategy should be flexible to quickly catch users' current interest from continuously generated new user-item interactions. Existing update strategies focus either on the importance of each user-item interaction or the learning rate for each recommender parameter, but such one-directional flexibility is insufficient to adapt to varying relationships between interactions and parameters. In this paper, we propose MeLON, a meta-learning based novel online recommender update strategy that supports two-directional flexibility. It is featured with an adaptive learning rate for each parameter-interaction pair for inducing a recommender to quickly learn users' up-to-date interest. The procedure of MeLON is optimized following a meta-learning approach: it learns how a recommender learns to generate the optimal learning rates for future updates. Specifically, MeLON first enriches the meaning of each interaction based on previous interactions and identifies the role of each parameter for the interaction; and then combines these two pieces of information to generate an adaptive learning rate. Theoretical analysis and extensive evaluation on three real-world online recommender datasets validate the effectiveness of MeLON.

description: We study the position sensitivity of radial zigzag strips intended to read out large GEM detectors for tracking at future experiments. Zigzag strips can cover a readout area with fewer strips than regular straight strips while maintaining good spatial resolution. Consequently, they can reduce the number of required electronic channels and related cost for large-area GEM detector systems. A non-linear relation between incident particle position and hit position measured from charge sharing among zigzag strips was observed in a previous study. We significantly reduce this non-linearity by improving the interleaving of adjacent physical zigzag strips. Zigzag readout structures are implemented on PCBs and on a flexible foil and are tested using a 10 cm by 10 cm triple-GEM detector scanned with a strongly collimated X-ray gun on a 2D motorized stage. Angular resolutions of60-84 urad are achieved with a 1.37 mrad angular strip pitch at a radius of 784 mm. On a linear scale this corresponds to resolutions below 100 um.

description: The band gap engineering of group IV semiconductors has not been well explored theoretically and experimentally, except for SiGe. Recently, GeSn has attracted much attention due to the possibility of obtaining a direct band gap in this alloy, thereby making it suitable for light emitters. Other group IV alloys may also potentially exhibit material properties useful for device applications, expanding the space for band gap engineering in group IV. In this work the electronic band structure of all group IV semiconductor alloys is investigated. Twelve possible A:B alloys, where A is a semiconducting host (A = C, Si, and Ge) and B is an isovalent dopant (B = C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb), were studied in the dilute regime (0.8%) of the isovalent dopant in the entire Brillouin zone (BZ), and the chemical trends in the evolution of their electronic band structure were carefully analyzed. Density functional theory with state-of-the-art methods such as meta-GGA functionals and a spectral weight approach to band unfolding from large supercells was used to obtain dopant-related changes in the band structure, in particular the direct band gap at the Γ point and indirect band gaps at the L(X) points of the BZ. Analysis of contributions from geometry distortion and electronic interaction was also performed. Moreover, the obtained results are discussed in the context of obtaining a direct fundamental gap in Ge:B (B = C, Sn, and Pb) alloys, and intermediate band formation in C:B (B = Sn and Pb) and Ge:C. An increase in localization effects is also observed: a strong hole localization for alloys diluted with a dopant of a larger covalent radius and a strong electron localization for alloys with a dopant of smaller radius. Finally, it is shown that alloying Si and Ge with other elements from group IV is a promising way to enhance the functionality of group IV semiconductors.

description: There are so many vehicles in the world and the number of vehicles is increasing rapidly. To alleviate the parking problems caused by that, the smart parking system has been developed. The parking planning is one of the most important parts of it. An effective parking planning strategy makes the better use of parking resources possible. In this paper, we present a feasible method to do parking planning. We transform the parking planning problem into a kind of linear assignment problem. We take vehicles as jobs and parking spaces as agents. We take distances between vehicles and parking spaces as costs for agents doing jobs. Then we design an algorithm for this particular assignment problem and solve the parking planning problem. The method proposed can give timely and efficient guide information to vehicles for a real time smart parking system. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the method with experiments over some data, which can simulate the situation of doing parking planning in the real world.

description: Differential Interferometry allows to obtain the differential visibility and phase, in addition to the spectrum. The differential phase contains important information about the structure and motion of stellar photosphere such as stellar spots and non-radial pulsations, and particularly the rotation. Thus, this interferometric observable strongly helps to constrain the stellar fundamental parameters of fast rotators. The spectro-astrometry mainly uses the photocentre displacements, which is a first approximation of the differential phase, and is applicable only for unresolved or marginally objects. We study here the sensitivity of relevant stellar parameters to the simulated photocentres using the SCIROCCO code: a semi-analytical algorithm dedicated to fast rotators, applied to two theoretical modeling stars based on Achernar and Regulus, in order to classify the importance of these parameters and their impact on the modeling. We compare our simulations with published VLTI/AMBER data. This current work sets the limits of application of photocentre displacements to fast rotators, and under which conditions we can use the photocentres and/or the differential phase, through a pre-established physical criterion. To validate our theoretical study, we apply our method of analysis on observed data of the edge-on fast rotator Regulus. For unresolved targets, with a visibility $V\sim 1$, the photocentre can constrain the main stellar fundamental parameters of fast rotators, whereas from marginally resolved objects ($0.8 \leq V < 1$), mainly the rotation axis position angle ($\rm PA_{\rm rot}$) can be directly deduced from the vectorial photocentre displacement, which is very important for young cluster studies.

description: Complexified Lienard-Wiechert potentials simplify the mathematics of Kerr-Newman particles. Here we constrain them by fiat to move along Bohmian trajectories to see if anything interesting occurs, as their equations of motion are not known. A covariant theory due to Stueckelberg is used. This paper deviates from the traditional Bohmian interpretation of quantum mechanics since the electromagnetic interactions of Kerr- Newman particles are dictated by general relativity. A Gaussian wave function is used to produce the Bohmian trajectories, which are found to be multi-valued. A generalized analytic continuation (GAN) is introduced which leads to an infinite number of trajectories. These include the entire set of Bohmian trajectories. This leads to multiple retarded times which come into play in complex space-time. If one weights these trajectories by their natural Bohmian weighting factors, then it is found that the particles do not radiate, that they are extended, and that they can have a finite electrostatic self energy, thus avoiding the usual divergence of the charged point particle. This effort does not in any way criticize or downplay the traditional Bohmian interpretation which does not assume the standard electromagnetic coupling to charged particles, but it suggests that a hybridization of Kerr-Newman particle theory with Bohmian mechanics might lead to interesting new physics, and maybe even the possibility of emergent quantum mechanics.
