description: With the increase of the number of elderly people living alone around the world, there is a growing demand for sensor-based detection of anomalous behaviors. Although smart homes with ambient sensors could be useful for detecting such anomalies, there is a problem of lack of sufficient real data for developing detection algorithms. For coping with this problem, several sensor data simulators have been proposed, but they have not been able to model appropriately the long-term transitions and correlations between anomalies that exist in reality. In this paper, therefore, we propose a novel sensor data simulator that can model these factors in generation of sensor data. Anomalies considered in this study were classified into three types of \textit{state anomalies}, \textit{activity anomalies}, and \textit{moving anomalies}. The simulator produces 10 years data in 100 min. including six anomalies, two for each type. Numerical evaluations show that this simulator is superior to the past simulators in the sense that it simulates well day-to-day variations of real data.

description: For a space $X$ let $\mathcal{K}(X)$ be the set of compact subsets of $X$ ordered by inclusion. A map $ϕ:\mathcal{K}(X) \to \mathcal{K}(Y)$ is a relative Tukey quotient if it carries compact covers to compact covers. When there is such a Tukey quotient write $(X,\mathcal{K}(X)) \ge_T (Y,\mathcal{K}(Y))$, and write $(X,\mathcal{K}(X)) =_T (Y,\mathcal{K}(Y))$ if $(X,\mathcal{K}(X)) \ge_T (Y,\mathcal{K}(Y))$ and vice versa.
 We investigate the initial structure of pairs $(X,\mathcal{K}(X))$ under the relative Tukey order, focusing on the case of separable metrizable spaces. Connections are made to Menger spaces.
 Applications are given demonstrating the diversity of free topological groups, and related free objects, over separable metrizable spaces. It is shown a topological group $G$ has the countable chain condition if it is either $σ$-pseudocompact or for some separable metrizable $M$, we have $\mathcal{K}(M) \ge_T (G,\mathcal{K}(G))$.

description: In the present study, we perform direct numerical simulations of compressible turbulent boundary layers at the free stream Mach number of 2 ~ 6 laden with dilute phase of spherical particles to investigate the Mach number effects on particle transport and dynamics. Most of the phenomena observed and well-recognized for inertia particles in incompressible wall-bounded turbulent flows, such as the near-wall preferential accumulation and clustering beneath the low-speed streaks, the flatter mean velocity profiles and the trend variation of the particle velocity fluctuations, are identified in the compressible turbulent boundary layer as well. However, we find that the compressibility effects are significant for large inertia particles. As the Mach number increases, the near-wall accumulation and the small-scale clustering are alleviated, which is probably caused by the variation of the fluid density and viscosity that are crucial to particle dynamics. This can be affected by the fact that the forces acting on the particles with the viscous Stokes number greater than 500 are modulated by the comparatively high particle Mach numbers in the near-wall region. This is also the reason for the abatement of the streamwise particle velocity fluctuation intensities with the Mach numbers.

description: Coherent small-amplitude unsteadiness of the shock wave and the separation region over a canonical double cone flow, termed in literature as oscillation-type unsteadiness, is experimentally studied at Mach 6. The double cone model is defined by three non-dimensional geometric parameters: fore- and aft-cone angles ($θ_1$ and $θ_2$), and ratio of the conical slant lengths ($Λ$). Previous studies of oscillations have been qualitative in nature, and mostly restricted to a special case of the cone model with fixed $θ_1 = 0^\circ$ and $θ_2 = 90^\circ$ (referred to as the spike-cylinder model), where $Λ$ becomes the sole governing parameter. In the present effort we investigate the self-sustained flow oscillations in the $θ_1$-$Λ$ parameter space for fixed $θ_2 = 90^\circ$ using time-resolved schlieren visualization. The experiments reveal two distinct sub-types of oscillations, characterized by the motion (or lack thereof) of the separation point on the fore-cone surface. The global time scale associated with flow oscillation is extracted using spectral proper orthogonal decomposition. The non-dimensional frequency (Strouhal number) of oscillation is seen to exhibit distinct scaling for the two oscillation sub-types. The relationship observed between the local flow properties, instability of the shear layer, and geometric constraints on the flow suggests that an aeroacoustic feedback mechanism sustains the oscillations. Based on this insight, a simple model with no empiricism is developed for the Strouhal number. The model predictions are found to match well with experimental measurements. The model provides helpful physical insight into the nature of the self-sustained flow oscillations over a double cone at high-speeds.

description: Il gruppo FROG (Fund Raising Office Group), e quindi il Servizio Finanziamenti alla ricerca di INAFOaPD è stato costituito nel 2019 presso l’INAF – Osservatorio di Padova con lo scopo di “reperire fondi” ovvero fornire informazioni, assistenza e supporto al personale della struttura, nella ricerca e nella partecipazione a programmi/bandi di finanziamento negli ambiti disciplinari scientifici e tecnologici afferenti all’Istituto, ma anche nei settori afferenti alla terza missione quali la formazione, disseminazione e valorizzazione dei risultati della ricerca e il patrimonio culturale. L’obiettivo è quello di essere complementare e non un duplicato rispetto alle attività dell’unità scientifica centrale INAF USC VII - Bandi competitivi, favorendo la conoscenza della programmazione Europea e i relativi strumenti di finanziamento legati al settore della ricerca e innovazione, ma focalizzandosi sui programmi finanziati dai Fondi Europei di Sviluppo Regionale (FESR), e ricercando finanziamenti proposti da Fondazioni Bancarie. Ma non solo: con riferimento a tematiche afferenti alla terza missione, guarda ai programmi rivolti all’educazione e formazione e in particolare per una formazione non formale e informale, come il programma Erasmus+ nei suoi diversi settori (istruzione scolastica, istruzione superiore, istruzione e formazione professionale ed educazione degli adulti), e infine i programmi legati alla cultura e al patrimonio culturale quale il programma Creative Europe. Il report vuole fornire una panoramica di quanto realizzato nei cinque anni della sua costituzione, comunque influenzati dalla pandemia, analizzando i risultati ottenuti e le criticità evidenziate, pur sostenendo la necessità di una maggiore conoscenza delle politiche europee e degli strumenti di finanziamento messi a disposizione per le diverse attività.

description: Zinc chloride is used as a source of zinc in various pharmaceutical/nutraceutical formulations. The aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of The Trivedi Effect® - Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment (Biofield Energy Treatment) on physical, structural, thermal, and behavioral properties of zinc chloride using PXRD, PSD, FT-IR, UV-vis, and DSC analysis. Zinc chloride was divided into two parts – one part was control, while another part was treated with The Trivedi Effect® - Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by twenty renowned Biofield Energy Healers and defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample. A significant alteration of the crystallite size and relative intensities of the PXRD peaks was observed in The Trivedi Effect® treated sample compared with the control sample. The average crystallite size of the treated sample was significantly increased by 16.43% compared with the control sample. The particles size values of the treated sample at d10 was decreased by 2.42%, whereas at d50, and d90 it was increased slightly by 0.43%, and 0.57%, respectively compared to the control sample. Therefore, the surface area of the treated sample was increased by 1.63% compared with the control sample. The FT-IR spectroscopic analysis revealed that Zn-Cl stretching in the control sample was found at 511 cm-1, whereas it was shifted downward to 508 cm-1 in the treated sample. The UV-vis analysis exhibited that wavelength of the maximum absorbance (λmax) of the control and treated samples were at 196.4 nm and 196.2 nm, respectively. The DSC analysis exhibited that the melting temperature was not altered significantly, while the decomposition temperature was increased by 0.45% in the treated sample compared to the control sample. The latent heat of fusion of the treated sample (402.09 J/g) was significantly increased by 29.78% compared with the control sample (309.83 J/g). Similarly, the enthalpy of decomposition of the treated sample (243.13 J/g) was significantly decreased by 61.18% compared with the control sample (626.37 J/g). This indicated that the thermal stability of the treated sample might be improved compared to the control sample. The current study anticipated that the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might lead to produce a new polymorphic form of zinc chloride, which would be more soluble, bioavailable, and thermally more stable compared with the control sample. Hence, the treated zinc chloride would be very useful to design better nutraceutical/pharmaceutical formulations that might offer better therapeutic response against immunological disorders, inflammatory diseases, stress, aging, cancer, etc.

description: DatalogMTL is an extension of Datalog with metric temporal operators that has found an increasing number of applications in recent years. Reasoning in DatalogMTL is, however, of high computational complexity, which makes reasoning in modern data-intensive applications challenging. In this paper we present a practical reasoning algorithm for the full DatalogMTL language, which we have implemented in a system called MeTeoR. Our approach effectively combines an optimised (but generally non-terminating) materialisation (a.k.a. forward chaining) procedure, which provides scalable behaviour, with an automata-based component that guarantees termination and completeness. To ensure favourable scalability of the materialisation component, we propose a novel seminaïve materialisation procedure for DatalogMTL enjoying the non-repetition property, which ensures that each specific rule application will be considered at most once throughout the entire execution of the algorithm. Moreover, our materialisation procedure is enhanced with additional optimisations which further reduce the number of redundant computations performed during materialisation by disregarding rules as soon as it is certain that they cannot derive new facts in subsequent materialisation steps. Our extensive evaluation supports the practicality of our approach.

description:  La mayoría de las plantas con flores dependen de polinizadores para su reproducción. La urbanización tiene efectos negativos sobre los polinizadores, que pueden mitigarse manteniendo parches de vegetación en las ciudades. El Campus Norte de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos se encuentra cercano a vegetación nativa de bosque de pino-encino y selva baja caducifolia. Para conocer la diversidad de polinizadores que están usando los parches de vegetación dentro del campus, a partir de una imagen satelital del 2017, se describen estos parches y las observaciones de angiospermas y de potenciales polinizadores (insectos y aves) registrados en plataformas de ciencia ciudadana entre 2011 y 2022. Se registraron 78 familias, 215 géneros y 249 especies de angiospermas, y 33 familias, 68 géneros y 69 especies de polinizadores. Las plantas con el mayor número de registros fueron la tronadora (Tecoma stans) y la dalia de flores rojas (Dhalia coccinea). Los polinizadores con el mayor número de registros fueron los colibríes corona violeta (Leucolia violiceps), berilo (Saucerottia beryllina) y pico ancho norteño (Cynanthus latirostris). Los resultados mostraron un sesgo en el registro de especies llamativas y fáciles de fotografiar, lo que revela la necesidad de observaciones adicionales para conocer la biodiversidad en los campus universitarios.

description: Question answering (QA) is the task of answering questions posed in natural language with free-form natural language answers extracted from a given passage. In the OpenQA variant, only a question text is given, and the system must retrieve relevant passages from an unstructured knowledge source and use them to provide answers, which is the case in the mainstream QA systems on the Web. QA systems currently are mostly limited to the English language due to the lack of large-scale labeled QA datasets in non-English languages. In this paper, we show that effective, low-cost OpenQA systems can be developed for low-resource contexts. The key ingredients are (1) weak supervision using machine-translated labeled datasets and (2) a relevant unstructured knowledge source in the target language context. Furthermore, we show that only a few hundred gold assessment examples are needed to reliably evaluate these systems. We apply our method to Turkish as a challenging case study, since English and Turkish are typologically very distinct and Turkish has limited resources for QA. We present SQuAD-TR, a machine translation of SQuAD2.0, and we build our OpenQA system by adapting ColBERT-QA and retraining it over Turkish resources and SQuAD-TR using two versions of Wikipedia dumps spanning two years. We obtain a performance improvement of 24-32% in the Exact Match (EM) score and 22-29% in the F1 score compared to the BM25-based and DPR-based baseline QA reader models. Our results show that SQuAD-TR makes OpenQA feasible for Turkish, which we hope encourages researchers to build OpenQA systems in other low-resource languages. We make all the code, models, and the dataset publicly available at https://github.com/boun-tabi/SQuAD-TR.

description: The aim of the channel estimation is to estimate the parameters encoded in a quantum channel. For this aim, it is allowed to choose the input state as well as the measurement to get the outcome. Various precision bounds are known for the state estimation. For the channel estimation, the respective bounds are determined depending on the choice of the input state. However, determining the optimal input probe state and the corresponding precision bounds in estimation is a non-trivial problem, particularly in the multi-parameter setting, where parameters are often incompatible. In this paper, we present a conic programming framework that allows us to determine the optimal probe state for the corresponding multi-parameter precision bounds. The precision bounds we consider include the Holevo-Nagaoka bound and the tight precision bound that give the optimal performances of correlated and uncorrelated measurement strategies, respectively. Using our conic programming framework, we discuss the optimality of a maximally entangled probe state in various settings. We also apply our theory to analyze the canonical field sensing problem using entangled quantum probe states.

description: We perform experiments in the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at the University of California, Los Angeles, studying how different end-electrode biasing schemes modify the radial potential profile in the machine. We impose biasing profiles of different polarities and gradient signs on a set of five concentric electrodes placed 12 m downstream from the plasma source. We find that imposing concave-down profiles (negative potential radial gradient) on the electrodes create radial potential profiles halfway up the plasma column that are comparable to those imposed on the electrodes, regardless of the biasing polarity. On the other hand, imposing concave-up profiles (positive potential radial gradient) leads to non-monotonic radial potential profiles. This observation can be explained by the current drawn through the electrodes and the parallel plasma resistivity, highlighting their important role in controlling the rotation of plasma. Concave-down plasma potential profiles, obtained by drawing electrons on the axis, are predicted to drive azimuthal drift velocities that can approach significant fractions of the ion sound speed in the central region of the plasma column.

description: Resonators based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have exceptional properties for application as nanomechanical sensors, which allows them to operate at high frequencies with high sensitivity. However, their performance as nanomechanical sensors is currently limited by their low quality ($Q$)-factor. Here, we make use of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) to apply pure in-plane mechanical strain, enhancing both their resonance frequency and Q-factor. In contrast to earlier work, the 2D material resonators are fabricated on the MEMS actuators without any wet processing steps, using a dry-transfer method. A platinum clamp, that is deposited by electron beam-induced deposition, is shown to be effective in fixing the 2D membrane to the MEMS and preventing slippage. By in-plane straining the membranes in a purely mechanical fashion, we increase the tensile energy, thereby diluting dissipation. This way, we show how dissipation dilution can increase the $Q$-factor of 2D material resonators by 91\%. The presented MEMS actuated dissipation dilution method does not only pave the way towards higher $Q$-factors in resonators based on 2D materials, but also provides a route toward studies of the intrinsic loss mechanisms of 2D materials in the monolayer limit.

We first obtain a characterization of the universal cover of such manifolds as a product of a Kaehler Ricci-flat manifold with a Bismut flat one. Then, using a mapping torus construction, we provide non-Bismut flat examples. The existence of generalized Kaehler structures is also investigated.

description: Numerical simulations are a powerful tool for the development and improvement of Li-ion batteries. Modeling the mass transport of the involved electrolytic solutions requires precise determination of the corresponding electrolyte parameters. In this work, we attempt to measure the conductivity, the diffusion coefficient, the transference number and the thermodynamic factor for a system of 0.5$\,$M LiPF$_6$ dissolved in a blend of ethylene carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate (EC:EMC, 3:7 weight) at 20$\,$°C and 50$\,$°C. Applying galvanostatic polarization experiments to symmetrical metal Li | electrolyte + separator | Li metal cells reveals, however, a potential response qualitatively deviating from theoretical expectations. Impeded diffusion processes indicate the presence of additional, undesired porous structures on the Li electrodes, preventing a reliable evaluation of the electrolyte parameters. To spectrally resolve the diffusive processes, we conduct very-low-frequency impedance spectroscopy. The impedance in fact exhibits multiple interfering diffusive features. In our measurements, an explicit identification of the impedance for the sole diffusion through the separator is however not feasible. Therefore, the authors doubt that polarizing experiments using Li metal electrodes yield accurate parameters for electrolytes.

description: Prompted by the relevant problem of temperature inversion (i.e. gradient of density anti-correlated to the gradient of temperature) in astrophysics, we introduce a novel method to model a gravitationally confined multi-component collisionless plasma in contact with a fluctuating thermal boundary. We focus on systems with anti-correlated (inverted) density and temperature profiles, with applications to solar physics. The dynamics of the plasma is analytically described via the coupling of an appropriated coarse-grained distribution function and temporally coarse-grained Vlasov dynamics. We derive a stationary solution of the system and predict the inverted density and temperature profiles of the two-species for scenarios relevant for the corona. We validate our method by comparing the analytical results with kinetic numerical simulations of the plasma dynamics in the context of the two-species Hamiltonian mean-field model (HMF). Finally, we apply our theoretical framework to the problem of the temperature inversion in the solar corona obtaining density and temperature profiles in remarkably good agreement with the observations.

description: The extension of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational principle to ensemble states $ρ_{\mathbf{w}}\equiv\sum_k w_k |Ψ_k\rangle \langleΨ_k|$ with fixed weights $w_k$ lies ultimately at the heart of several recent methodological developments for targeting excitation energies by variational means. Prominent examples are density and density matrix functional theory, Monte Carlo sampling, state-average complete active space self-consistent field methods and variational quantum eigensolvers. In order to provide a sound basis for all these methods and to improve their current implementations, we prove the validity of the underlying critical hypothesis: Whenever the ensemble energy is well-converged, the same holds true for the ensemble state $ρ_{\mathbf{w}}$ as well as the individual eigenstates $|Ψ_k\rangle$ and eigenenergies $E_k$. To be more specific, we derive linear bounds $d_-Δ{E}_{\mathbf{w}} \leq ΔQ \leq d_+ Δ{E}_{\mathbf{w}}$ on the errors $ΔQ $ of these sought-after quantities. A subsequent analytical analysis and numerical illustration proves the tightness of our universal inequalities. Our results and particularly the explicit form of $d_{\pm}\equiv d_{\pm}^{(Q)}(\mathbf{w},\mathbf{E})$ provide valuable insights into the optimal choice of the auxiliary weights $w_k$ in practical applications.

Self-similar solution for laminar bubbly flow evolving from a vertical plate

description: The development of a bubble plume from a vertical gas-evolving electrode is driven by buoyancy and hydrodynamic bubble dispersion. This canonical fluid mechanics problem is relevant for both thermal and electrochemical processes. We adopt a mixture model formulation for the two-phase flow, considering variable density (beyond Boussinesq), viscosity and hydrodynamic bubble dispersion. Introducing a new change of coordinates, inspired by the Lees-Dorodnitsyn transformation, we obtain a new self-similar solution for the laminar boundary layer equations. The results predict a wall gas fraction and gas plume thickness that increase with height to the power of 1/5 before asymptotically reaching unity and scaling with height to the power 2/5, respectively. The vertical velocity scales with height to the power of 3/5. Our analysis shows that self-similarity is only possible if gas conservation is entirely formulated in terms of the gas-specific volume instead of the gas fraction.
