description: This paper describes how the Keck Observatory Archive (KOA) is extending open source software components to develop new services. In August 2015, KOA deployed a program interface to discover public data from all instruments equipped with an imaging mode. The interface complies with version 2 of the Simple Imaging Access Protocol (SIAP), under development by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA), which defines a standard mechanism for discovering images through spatial queries. The heart of the KOA service is an R-tree-based, database-indexing mechanism prototyped by the Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO) and further developed by the Montage Image Mosaic project, designed to provide fast access to large imaging data sets as a first step in creating wide-area image mosaics. The KOA service uses the results of the spatial R-tree search to create an SQLite data database for further relational filtering. The service uses a JSON configuration file to describe the association between instrument parameters and the service query parameters, and to make it applicable beyond the Keck instruments. The R-tree program was itself extended to support temporal (in addition to spatial) indexing, in response to requests from the planetary science community for a search engine to discover observations of Solar System objects. With this 3D-indexing scheme, the service performs very fast time and spatial matches between the target ephemerides, obtained from the JPL SPICE service. Our experiments indicate these matches can be more than 100 times faster than when separating temporal and spatial searches. Images of the tracks of the moving targets, overlaid with the image footprints, are computed with a new command-line visualization tool, mViewer, released with the Montage distribution. The service is currently in test and will be released in Fall 2016.

WTF? Discovering the Unexpected in next-generation radio continuum surveys

description: Most major discoveries in astronomy have come from unplanned discoveries made by surveying the Universe in a new way, rather than by testing a hypothesis or conducting an investigation with planned outcomes. Next generation radio continuum surveys such as the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU: the radio continuum survey on the new Australian SKA Pathfinder telescope), will significantly expand the volume of observational phase space, so we can be reasonably confident that we will stumble across unexpected new phenomena or new types of object. However, the complexity of the instrument and the large data volumes mean that it may be non-trivial to identify them. On the other hand, if we don't, then we may be missing out on the most exciting science results from EMU. We have therefore started a project called "WTF", which explicitly aims to mine EMU data to discover unexpected science that is not part of our primary science goals, using a variety of machine-learning techniques and algorithms. Although targeted specifically at EMU, we expect this approach will have broad applicability to astronomical survey data.

Quantum Correlations in the Minimal Scenario

description: In the minimal scenario of quantum correlations, two parties can choose from two observables with two possible outcomes each. Probabilities are specified by four marginals and four correlations. The resulting four-dimensional convex body of correlations, denoted $\mathcal{Q}$, is fundamental for quantum information theory. We review and systematize what is known about $\Qm$, and add many details, visualizations, and complete proofs. In particular, we provide a detailed description of the boundary, which consists of three-dimensional faces isomorphic to elliptopes and sextic algebraic manifolds of exposed extreme points. These patches are separated by cubic surfaces of non-exposed extreme points. We provide a trigonometric parametrization of all extreme points, along with their exposing Tsirelson inequalities and quantum models. All non-classical extreme points (exposed or not) are self-testing, i.e., realized by an essentially unique quantum model. Two principles, which are specific to the minimal scenario, allow a quick and complete overview: The first is the pushout transformation, i.e., the application of the sine function to each coordinate. This transforms the classical correlation polytope exactly into the correlation body $\mathcal{Q}$, also identifying the boundary structures. The second principle, self-duality, is an isomorphism between $\Qm$ and its polar dual, i.e., the set of affine inequalities satisfied by all quantum correlations (``Tsirelson inequalities''). The same isomorphism links the polytope of classical correlations contained in $\Qm$ to the polytope of no-signalling correlations, which contains $\Qm$. We also discuss the sets of correlations achieved with fixed Hilbert space dimension, fixed state or fixed observables, and establish a new non-linear inequality for $\Qm$ involving the determinant of the correlation matrix.

FreeNeRF: Improving Few-shot Neural Rendering with Free Frequency Regularization

description: Novel view synthesis with sparse inputs is a challenging problem for neural radiance fields (NeRF). Recent efforts alleviate this challenge by introducing external supervision, such as pre-trained models and extra depth signals, and by non-trivial patch-based rendering. In this paper, we present Frequency regularized NeRF (FreeNeRF), a surprisingly simple baseline that outperforms previous methods with minimal modifications to the plain NeRF. We analyze the key challenges in few-shot neural rendering and find that frequency plays an important role in NeRF's training. Based on the analysis, we propose two regularization terms. One is to regularize the frequency range of NeRF's inputs, while the other is to penalize the near-camera density fields. Both techniques are ``free lunches'' at no additional computational cost. We demonstrate that even with one line of code change, the original NeRF can achieve similar performance as other complicated methods in the few-shot setting. FreeNeRF achieves state-of-the-art performance across diverse datasets, including Blender, DTU, and LLFF. We hope this simple baseline will motivate a rethinking of the fundamental role of frequency in NeRF's training under the low-data regime and beyond.

description: In this work, the high entropy oxide A2CuO4 Ruddlesden-Popper (La0.2Pr0.2Nd0.2Sm0.2Eu0.2)2CuO4 is explored by charge doping with Ce+4 and Sr+2 at concentrations known to induce superconductivity in the simple parent compounds, Nd2CuO4 and La2CuO4. Electron doped (La0.185Pr0.185Nd0.185Sm0.185Eu0.185Ce0.075)2CuO4 and hole doped (La0.18Pr0.18Nd0.18Sm0.18Eu0.18Sr0.1)2CuO4 are synthesized and shown to be single crystal, epitaxially strained, and highly uniform. Transport measurements demonstrate that all as-grown films are insulating regardless of doping. Annealing studies show that resistivity can be tuned by modifying oxygen stoichiometry and inducing metallicity but without superconductivity. These results in turn are connected to extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) results indicating that the lack of superconductivity in the high entropy cuprates likely originates from a large distortion within the Cu-O plane (σ2>0.015 Å2) due to A-site cation size variance, which drives localization of charge carriers. These findings describe new opportunities for controlling charge- and orbital-mediated functional responses in Ruddlesden-Popper crystal structures, driven by balancing of cation size and charge variances that may be exploited for functionally important behaviors such as superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and metal-insulator transitions, while opening less understood phase spaces hosting doped Mott insulators, strange metals, quantum criticality, pseudogaps, and ordered charge density waves.
title: A Weighted Modular Principal Component Analysis Approach for Face Authentication

description: A weighted modular approach for face authentication based on the priorities of different facial regions that change with varying poses, expressions and occlusions is presented in this thesis. This helps in verifying the identity of an individual who claims to be a subject in the database and is unaware of the presence of the face authentication system. A sequence of face images is selected from a video in a particular predefined interval and is used for verification. The face images are divided into different horizontal modules based on the regions representing facial features. A principal component analysis on these modules produces low dimensional representations of the sub images representing the facial feature regions. A weighted comparison of feature regions of the test images with the respective regions of the training images provides the authentication outcome. The performance of the proposed face authentication system is evaluated with several individuals belonging to different ethnicities. It is observed that the weighted modular approach outperforms the state-of-the-art face authentication techniques for input images with varying poses and expressions and occlusions. Research studies are progressing to compute the weights adaptively based on the magnitude of the feature variations due to poses and expressions and occlusions. In addition, application of the techniques based on multiple modalities for face authentication is also being investigated.

description: We study the modular Hamiltonian associated with a Gaussian state on the Weyl algebra. We obtain necessary/sufficient criteria for the local equivalence of Gaussian states, independently of the classical results by Araki and Yamagami, Van Daele, Holevo. We then present a criterion for a Bogoliubov automorphism to be weakly inner in the GNS representation. We also describe the vacuum modular Hamiltonian associated with a time-zero interval in the scalar, massless, free QFT in two spacetime dimensions, thus complementing the recent results in higher space dimensions. In particular, we have the formula for the local entropy of a one-dimensional massless wave packet and Araki's vacuum relative entropy of a coherent state on a double cone von Neumann algebra.

description: This paper reports on the modal noise characterisation of a hybrid reformatter. The device consists of a multicore-fibre photonic lantern and an ultrafast laser-inscribed slit reformatter. It operates around 1550 nm and supports 92 modes. Photonic lanterns transform a multimode signal into an array of single-mode signals, and thus combine the high coupling efficiency of multimode fibres with the diffraction-limited performance of single-mode fibres. This paper presents experimental measurements of the device point spread function properties under different coupling conditions, and its throughput behaviour at high spectral resolution. The device demonstrates excellent scrambling but its point spread function is not completely stable. Mode field diameter and mode barycentre position at the device output vary as the multicore-fibre is agitated due to the fabrication imperfections.

description: 3.2. Cheiridopsis subgenus Odontophoroides H.E.K.Hartmann, Biblioth. Bot. 136: 59. 1983. Type: C. acuminata L.Bolus. Compact perennial shrubs, sometimes mat-forming. Leaves isophyllous, with subsequent pairs equal along stem; surface often rough with elevations above the subhypodermal idioblasts or velvety; epidermal cells forming blunt papillae or trichomes; sheath always only partially enclosing the emerging leaf pair during dormancy. Flowers cream, yellow, magenta or magentasuffused. Capsules on erect pedicels; top rounded, base semi-globose; valve wings broad, as wide as valve, to narrow, 1 / 3 width of valve, sometimes ending in an awn; covering membranes undulate; closing bodies large, blocking at least ¾ of locule. Seeds sparsely to densely papillate. Diagnostic characters and distribution: Cheiridopsis subgenus Odontophoroides is the largest subgenus with 16 species and is characterized by the isophyllous leaves (equal subsequent pairs) and the erect capsules with rounded tops (Figs 5, 7 G). The leaves also often have a rough surface (Fig. 8 F), but this is not found in all species in the subgenus. Although this subgenus has the largest number of species, it has the most restricted distribution from the northern border of South Africa at Sendelingsdrif, in the Richtersveld, to Wallekraal, with hotspots in the Springbok-Steinkopf Region and the Richtersveld (Fig. 6 C).

description: In forthcoming years, the Internet of Things (IoT) will connect billions of smart devices generating and uploading a deluge of data to the cloud. If successfully extracted, the knowledge buried in the data can significantly improve the quality of life and foster economic growth. However, a critical bottleneck for realising the efficient IoT is the pressure it puts on the existing communication infrastructures, requiring transfer of enormous data volumes. Aiming at addressing this problem, we propose a novel architecture dubbed Condense, which integrates the IoT-communication infrastructure into data analysis. This is achieved via the generic concept of network function computation: Instead of merely transferring data from the IoT sources to the cloud, the communication infrastructure should actively participate in the data analysis by carefully designed en-route processing. We define the Condense architecture, its basic layers, and the interactions among its constituent modules. Further, from the implementation side, we describe how Condense can be integrated into the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Machine Type Communications (MTC) architecture, as well as the prospects of making it a practically viable technology in a short time frame, relying on Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN). Finally, from the theoretical side, we survey the relevant literature on computing "atomic" functions in both analog and digital domains, as well as on function decomposition over networks, highlighting challenges, insights, and future directions for exploiting these techniques within practical 3GPP MTC architecture.

description: We present the list of variable stars we found in the Kepler superstamp data covering approximately 9 arcminutes from the central region of NGC 6791. We classified the variable stars based on the variability type and we established their cluster membership based on the available Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometry, by means of the Bayesian Gaussian mixture models. In total we found 278 variable objects, among which 17 binaries, 45 pulsators, 62 rotational and five unclassified variables are cluster members. The remaining 28 binaries, 25 pulsators, 83 rotational, four unclassified and nine unidentified variables are either not members or their membership is not established. In the case of eclipsing binaries we calculated the mid-times of eclipses and derived ephemerides. We searched for eclipse timing variation by means of the observed minus calculated diagrams. Only three objects show significant orbital period variation. Independently of a report published just recently by Colman et al(2022) we found 119 new variables. We used isochrones calculated within the MIST project and derived the age (8.91 Gyr), average distance (4134 pc) and iron content [Fe/H] (0.26-0.28), of NGC 6791. Using the cluster members with membership probabilities greater than 0.9, we calculated the distance to the cluster of 4123(31) pc, which agrees with the result from our isochrone fitting.

description: Exoskeletons and orthoses are wearable mobile systems providing mechanical benefits to the users. Despite significant improvements in the last decades, the technology is not fully mature to be adopted for strenuous and non-programmed tasks. To accommodate this insufficiency, different aspects of this technology need to be analysed and improved. Numerous studies have tried to address some aspects of exoskeletons, e.g. mechanism design, intent prediction, and control scheme. However, most works have focused on a specific element of design or application without providing a comprehensive review framework. This study aims to analyse and survey the contributing aspects to this technology's improvement and broad adoption. To address this, after introducing assistive devices and exoskeletons, the main design criteria will be investigated from both physical Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) perspectives. In order to establish an intelligent HRI strategy and enable intuitive control for users, cognitive HRI will be investigated after a brief introduction to various approaches to their control strategies. The study will be further developed by outlining several examples of known assistive devices in different categories. And some guidelines for exoskeleton selection and possible mitigation of current limitations will be discussed.

 Additional material. - 171 specimens, 303‑620 mm TL, caught between 104 and 905 m depth, from off São Vicente, Santa Luzia, Boa Vista, Santiago and Sal islands.
 Remarks. - A tropical demersal species occurring in a few scattered localities of the eastern Atlantic: from St. Helena, and Dakar, Senegal (Smith, 1990), São Tomé and Príncipe (Smith, 1990; Afonso et al., 1999), the Cape Verde Islands (Brito et al., 1999; González et al., 2004; Menezes et al., 2004; González and Tariche, 2009), and the Vavilov Underwater Ridge (the eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean) (Parin et al., 2010). The present material was caught in both traps used (Tab. II). Their major presence in bottom traps (81%) confirms its demersal nature. Gonad examination revealed that the red eel is a gonochoristic species. The 620 mm TL specimen is apparently the largest ever recorded (538 mm TL: Smith, 1990).

description: Compactification of M-theory and of IIB string theory on threefold canonical singularities gives rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. The resolutions and deformations of the singularities encode salient features of the SCFTs and of their moduli spaces. In this paper, we build on Part 0 of this series (arXiv:2007.15600) and further explore the physics of SCFTs arising from isolated hypersurface singularities. We study in detail these canonical isolated hypersurface singularities that admit a smooth Calabi-Yau (crepant) resolution. Their 5d and 4d physics is discussed and their 3d reduction and mirrors (the magnetic quivers) are determined in many cases. As an explorative tool, we provide a Mathematica code which computes key quantities for any canonical isolated hypersurface singularity, including the 5d rank, the 4d Coulomb branch spectrum and central charges, higher-form symmetries in 4d and 5d, and crepant resolutions.

description: Recently, the existence of massless chiral (Weyl) fermions has been postulated in a class of semi-metals with a non-trivial energy dispersion.These materials are now commonly dubbed Weyl semi-metals (WSM).One predicted property of Weyl fermions is the chiral or Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly, a chirality imbalance in the presence of parallel magnetic and electric fields. In WSM, it is expected to induce a negative longitudinal magnetoresistance (NMR), the chiral magnetic effect.Here, we present experimental evidence that the observation of the chiral magnetic effect can be hindered by an effect called "current jetting". This effect also leads to a strong apparent NMR, but it is characterized by a highly non-uniform current distribution inside the sample. It appears in materials possessing a large field-induced anisotropy of the resistivity tensor, such as almost compensated high-mobility semimetals due to the orbital effect.In case of a non-homogeneous current injection, the potential distribution is strongly distorted in the sample.As a consequence, an experimentally measured potential difference is not proportional to the intrinsic resistance.Our results on the MR of the WSM candidate materials NbP, NbAs, TaAs, TaP exhibit distinct signatures of an inhomogeneous current distribution, such as a field-induced "zero resistance' and a strong dependence of the `measured resistance" on the position, shape, and type of the voltage and current contacts on the sample. A misalignment between the current and the magnetic-field directions can even induce a "negative resistance". Finite-element simulations of the potential distribution inside the sample, using typical resistance anisotropies, are in good agreement with the experimental findings. Our study demonstrates that great care must be taken before interpreting measurements of a NMR as evidence for the chiral anomaly in putative Weyl semimetals.

description: We present new KAT-7 observations of the neutral hydrogen (HI) spectral line, and polarized radio continuum emission, in the grand design spiral M83. These observations provide a sensitive probe of the outer disk structure and kinematics, revealing a vast and massive neutral gas distribution that appears to be tightly coupled to the interaction of the galaxy with the environment. We present a new rotation curve extending out to a radius of 50 kpc. Based on our new HI dataset and comparison with multiwavelength data from the literature we consider the impact of mergers on the outer disk and discuss the evolution of M83. We also study the periphery of the HI distribution and reveal a sharp edge to the gaseous disk that is consistent with photoionization or ram pressure from the intergalactic medium (IGM). The radio continuum emission is not nearly as extended as the HI and is restricted to the main optical disk. Despite the relatively low angular resolution we are able to draw broad conclusions about the large-scale magnetic field topology. We show that the magnetic field of M83 is similar in form to other nearby star forming galaxies, and suggest that the disk-halo interface may host a large-scale regular magnetic field.

description: A widely-used model for determining the long-term health impacts of public health interventions, often called a "multistate lifetable", requires estimates of incidence, case fatality, and sometimes also remission rates, for multiple diseases by age and gender. Generally, direct data on both incidence and case fatality are not available in every disease and setting. For example, we may know population mortality and prevalence rather than case fatality and incidence. This paper presents Bayesian continuous-time multistate models for estimating transition rates between disease states based on incomplete data. This builds on previous methods by using a formal statistical model with transparent data-generating assumptions, while providing accessible software as an R package. Rates for people of different ages and areas can be related flexibly through splines or hierarchical models. Previous methods are also extended to allow age-specific trends through calendar time. The model is used to estimate case fatality for multiple diseases in the city regions of England, based on incidence, prevalence and mortality data from the Global Burden of Disease study. The estimates can be used to inform health impact models relating to those diseases and areas. Different assumptions about rates are compared, and we check the influence of different data sources.

description: Classical anisotropic XY antiferromagnets in a field on square and simple cubic lattices are studied using mainly Monte Carlo simulations. While in two dimensions the ordered antiferromagnetic and spin--flop phases are observed to be separated by a narrow disordered phase, a line of direct transitions of first order between the two phases and a bicritical point are found in three dimensions. Results are compared to previous findings.

Stochastic wave equation with Lévy white noise

description: In this article, we study the stochastic wave equation on the entire space $\mathbb{R}^d$, driven by a space-time Lévy white noise with possibly infinite variance (such as the $α$-stable Lévy noise). In this equation, the noise is multiplied by a Lipschitz function $σ(u)$ of the solution. We assume that the spatial dimension is $d=1$ or $d=2$. Under general conditions on the Lévy measure of the noise, we prove the existence of the solution, and we show that, as a function-valued process, the solution has a càdlàg modification in the local fractional Sobolev space of order $r<1/4$ if $d=1$, respectively $r<-1$ if $d=2$.
