description: We show that there is no Curtis-Hedlund-Lyndon Theorem for factor maps between tiling dynamical systems: there are codes between such systems which cannot be achieved by working within a finite window. By considering 1-dimensional tiling systems, which are the same as flows under functions on subshifts with finite alphabets of symbols, we construct a `simple' code which is not `local', a local code which is not simple, and a continuous code which is neither local nor simple.

Suppressing the contribution of intrinsic galaxy alignments to the shear two-point correlation function

description: Cosmological weak lensing gives rise to correlations in the ellipticities of faint galaxies. This cosmic shear signal depends upon the matter power spectrum, thus providing a means to constrain cosmological parameters. It has recently been proposed that intrinsic alignments arising at the epoch of galaxy formation can also contribute significantly to the observed correlations, the amplitude increasing with decreasing survey depth. Here we consider the two-point shear correlation function, and demonstrate that photometric redshift information can be used to suppress the intrinsic signal; at the same time Poisson noise is increased, due to a decrease in the effective number of galaxy pairs. The choice to apply such a redshift-depending weighting will depend on the characteristics of the survey in question. In surveys with a mean z of about 1, although the lensing signal dominates, the measurement error bars may soon become smaller than the intrinsic alignment signal; hence, in order not to be dominated by systematics, redshift information in cosmic shear statistics will become a necessity. We discuss various aspects of this.

description: Honeypots, i.e. networked computer systems specially designed and crafted to mimic the normal operations of other systems while capturing and storing information about the interactions with the world outside, are a crucial technology into the study of cyber threats and attacks that propagate and occur through networks. Among them, high interaction honeypots are considered the most efficient because the attacker (whether automated or not) perceives realistic interactions with the target machine. In the case of automated attacks, propagated by malwares, currently available honeypots alone are not specialized enough to allow the analysis of their behaviors and effects on the target system. The research presented in this paper shows how high interaction honeypots can be enhanced by powering them with specific features that improve the reverse engineering activities needed to effectively analyze captured malicious entities.

These color erasure detectors enable a new kind of intensity interferometry, with potential applications in microscopy and astronomy. We demonstrate chromatic interferometry experimentally, observing robust interference using both coherent and incoherent photon sources.

description: The group SL(2) acts on the space of cohomology groups of any hyper-Kahler manifold X. The χ_{y} genus of a hyper-Kahler X is shown to have a geometric interpretation as the super trace of an element of SL(2). As a by product one learns that the generalized Casson invariant for a mapping torus is essentially the χ_{y} genus.

description: The current hybrid architectures used to train and implement Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNN) are based on Nvidia GPU or Intel MIC accelerators. They are
marked by limitations due to their too general and ad hoc structure and architecture. We
propose an accelerator with a Map-Reduce architecture. The FPGA version of our proposal
is considered for accelerating the training process, while the ASIC versions, based on experi-
ments done in the FPGA environment, are targeted for low-energy consumption mass product
applications. The paper emphasizes a specific set of functions for the CNN used in Machine
Learning (ML) applications, and presents the resulting structural and architectural require-
ments. The main stages used in a pipe of functions destined to ML are: padding, convolution,
pooling and fully connected neural network. The actual applications use these functions in
a big variety of configurations. Thus, it worths to define, for training and running a CNN,
a programmable accelerator. The paper describes the organization and the architecture of a
hybrid system based on Map-Reduce architecture. The energy consumption is estimated, by
simulation, for the ASIC version. We conclude that the Map-Reduce approach provides an
appropriate solution for accelerating various ML applications.

description: Purpose: The value of shared reading as an opportunity for learning word meanings, or semantics, is well established; it is less clear whether children learn about the orthography, or word spellings, in this context. We tested whether children can learn the spellings and meanings of new words at the same time during a tightly controlled shared reading session. We also examined whether individual differences in either or both of orthographic and semantic learning during shared reading in English were related to word reading in English and French concurrently and 6 months longitudinally in emergent English–French bilinguals.Method: Sixty-two Grade 1 children (35 girls; Mage = 75.89 months) listened to 12 short stories, each containing four instances of a novel word, while the examiner pointed to the text. Choice measures of the spellings and meanings of the novel words were completed immediately after reading each set of three stories and again 1 week later. Standardized measures of word reading as well as controls for nonverbal reasoning, vocabulary, and phonological awareness were also administered.Results: Children scored above chance on both immediate and delayed measures of orthographic and semantic learning. Orthographic learning was related to both English and French word reading at the same time point and 6 months later. In contrast, the relations between semantic learning and word reading were nonsignificant for both languages after including controls.Conclusion: Shared reading is a valuable context for learning both word meanings and spellings, and the learning of orthographic representations in particular is related to word reading abilities.

description: We investigate ZTF18aalrxas, a double-peaked Type IIb core-collapse supernova (SN) discovered during science validation of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). ZTF18aalrxas was discovered while the optical emission was still rising towards the initial cooling peak (0.7 mag over 2 days). Our observations consist of multi-band (UV, optical) light-curves, and optical spectra spanning from $\approx0.7$ d to $\approx180$ d past the explosion. We use a Monte-Carlo based non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) model, that simultanously reproduces both the $\rm ^{56}Ni$ powered bolometric light curve and our nebular spectrum. This model is used to constrain the synthesized radioactive nickel mass (0.17 $\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$) and the total ejecta mass (1.7 $\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$) of the SN. The cooling emission is modeled using semi-analytical extended envelope models to constrain the progenitor radius ($790-1050$ $\mathrm{R}_{\odot}$) at the time of explosion. Our nebular spectrum shows signs of interaction with a dense circumstellar medium (CSM), and this spetrum is modeled and analysed to constrain the amount of ejected oxygen ($0.3-0.5$ $\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$) and the total hydrogen mass ($\approx0.15$ $\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$) in the envelope of the progenitor. The oxygen mass of ZTF18aalrxas is consistent with a low ($12-13$ $\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$) Zero Age Main Sequence mass progenitor. The light curves and spectra of ZTF18aalrxas are not consistent with massive single star SN Type IIb progenitor models. The presence of an extended hydrogen envelope of low mass, the presence of a dense CSM, the derived ejecta mass, and the late-time oxygen emission can all be explained in a binary model scenario.

description: We present predictions for numerous statistics related to the presence of voids in the distribution of galaxies in a cold dark matter model of structure formation using a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. Our study is able to probe galaxies with masses as low as 10^9Msun/h corresponding to absolute magnitudes of M_bJ-5log(h)=-18.1 and M_r-5log(h)=-18.7. We quantify the void and underdense probability functions, distributions of nearest neighbour distances and void sizes and compute the density profiles of voids. These results are contrasted with the expectations for dark matter (and the difference examined in terms of the galaxy/dark matter biasing relation) and are compared to analytic predictions and observational data where available. The predicted void probability functions are consistent with those measured from the Center for Astrophysics redshift surveys given the rather large uncertainties in this relatively small (for studies of voids) observational sample. The size of the observational sample is too small to probe the bias between galaxies and dark matter that we predict. We also examine the predicted properties of galaxies living within voids and contrast these with the general galaxy population. Our predictions are aimed at forthcoming large galaxy redshift surveys which should for the first time provide statistically accurate measures of the void population.

description: Context. Long-term chromospheric activity in slow-rotating fully-convective stars has been scarcely explored. Ross 128 (Gl 447) is a slow-rotator and inactive dM4 star which has been extensively observed. It hosts the fourth closest extrasolar planet. Aims. Ross 128 is an ideal target to test dynamo theories in slow-rotating low-mass star. Methods. To characterize the magnetic activity of Ross 128 we study the SK indexes derived from CASLEO, HARPS, FEROS, UVES and XSHOOTER spectra. Using the Generalized Lomb-Scargle and CLEAN periodograms, we analyze the whole SK time-series obtained between 2004 and 2018. We perform a similar analysis for the Na I index and we analyze its relation with the SK-index. Results. From both indexes, we obtain a possible activity cycle with a 5-year period, which is one of a small handful of activity cycles reported for a slow-rotating fully convective star.

description: I prove the existence, and describe the structure, of moduli space of pairs $(p,Θ)$ consisting of a projective variety $P$ with semiabelian group action and an ample Cartier divisor on it satisfying a few simple conditions. Every connected component of this moduli space is proper. A component containing a projective toric variety is described by a configuration of several polytopes, the main one of which is the secondary polytope. On the other hand, the component containing a principally polarized abelian variety provides a moduli compactification of $A_g$. The main irreducible component of this compactification is described by an "infinite periodic" analog of the secondary polytope and coincides with the toroidal compactification of $A_g$ for the second Voronoi decomposition.

description: We discover hidden Rashba fine structure in CH$_3$NH$_3$PbI$_3$ and demonstrate its quantum control by vibrational coherence through symmetry-selective vibronic (electron-phonon) coupling. Above a critical threshold of a single-cycle terahertz pump field, a Raman phonon mode distinctly modulates the middle excitonic states with {\em persistent} coherence for more than ten times longer than the ones on two sides that predominately couple to infrared phonons. These vibronic quantum beats, together with first-principles modeling of phonon periodically modulated Rashba parameters, identify a {\em three-fold} excitonic fine structure splitting, i.e., optically-forbidden, degenerate dark states in between two bright ones. Harnessing of vibronic quantum coherence and symmetry inspires light-perovskite quantum control and sub-THz-cycle "Rashba engineering" of spin-split bands for ultimate multi-function device.

description: Finding effective drug targets for glioblastoma (GBM) is a challenge, primarily due to the high level of acquired resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) . KISSIR (activated by kisspeptin), also known as GPR54, is reported to modulate the response of chemotherapy drugs in various cancer types, however its role in GBM response to TMZ remains unknown. Therefore, this study aim was to investigate the underlying mechanism(s) through which kisspeptin/KISS1R in modulating TMZ activity in KISS1R-expressing GBM cells. This study sheds the light on the dynamic action of KP-10/TMZ on various mechanisms related to TMZ resistance such as cell cycle arrest, autophagy, DNA damage and apoptosis . The identification of KP-10/KISS1R as a potential therapeutic target expands our knowledge of its role in GBM treatment response, emphasizing the need for further exploration of the intricate mechanisms uncovered in this study.
Attracting and Educating ‘New Citizens’

description: So far, the study of indigenous people’s attitudes towards Indo-Europeans in the era of decolonization, especially in Indonesia, has focused on native militia violence against Indo-Europeans. Serious studies on the desire of the indigenous people to persuade Indo-Europeans to become part of Indonesian society have been neglected. By employing the historical method, this study examines how Indonesian nationalists publicly imagined, framed, and convinced Indo-Europeans of their place as the most recent members of the nation during the Dutch-Indonesian war (1945-1947). The newly-born nation essentially consisted of indigenous ethnic groups, which in colonial times were socially inferior to Indo-Europeans. This study shows that there was a systematic attempt from the Indonesian side to define Indo-Europeans as ‘new citizens’ of Indonesia and as siblings of native Indonesians rather than a threat to Indonesian nationalism. Indonesian nationalists took various approaches to attract and educate Indo-Europeans. This article demonstrates that the relationship between the birth of the Indonesian nation-state and ethnic minorities is not only marked by violence, as it has been understood so far, but also by Indonesian public discussions about what mixed-race people mean for a multicultural Indonesian society, on how Indo-Europeans influenced the perspective of Indonesian nationalists on the new racial landscape in Indonesia, and on discourse about identity, nation, state and citizenship in the context of the end of European colonialism and the birth of an indigenous state in Southeast Asia.

Multi-User Detection of Overloaded Systems with Low-Density Spreading

Low density spreading (LDS)
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)
Multiuser detection (MUD)
Message passing algorithm (MPA)

description: Future wireless networks will have applications that require many devices to be connected to the network. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising multiple access scheme that allows more users to simultaneously transmit in a common channel than orthogonal signaling techniques. This overloading allows for high spectral efficiencies which can support the high demand for wireless access. One notable NOMA scheme is low-density spreading (LDS), which is a code domain multiple access scheme. Low density spreading operates like code division multiple access (CDMA) in the sense that users use a spreading sequence to spread their data, but the spreading sequences have a low number of nonzero chips, hence the term low-density. The message passing algorithm (MPA) is typically used for multi-user detection (MUD) of LDS systems. The MPA detector has complexity that is exponential to the number of users contributing to each chip. LDS systems suffer from two inherent problems: high computational complexity, and vulnerability to multipath channels. In this thesis, these two problems are addressed. A lower complexity MUD technique is presented, which offers complexity that is proportional to the number of users squared. The proposed detector is based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) and parallel interference cancellation (PIC) detectors. Simulation results show the proposed MUD technique achieves reductions in multiplications and additions by 81.84% and 67.87% with a loss of about 0.25 dB with overloading at 150%. In addition, a precoding scheme designed to mitigate the effects of the multipath channel is also presented. This precoding scheme applies an inverse channel response to the input signal before transmission. This allows for the received signal to eliminate the multipath effects that destroy the low-density structure.

description: Some exotic plants become invasive because they partially release from soil-borne enemies and thus benefit from positive plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) in the introduced range. However, reports that have focused only on PSFs may exaggerate the invader's competitiveness. Here, we conducted three experiments to characterize plant–soil–foliage feedbacks, including mature leaves (ML), leaf litter (LL), rhizosphere soil (RS) and leaves plus soil (LS), on the early growth stages of the invasive plant Ageratina adenophora. In general, the feedbacks from aboveground (ML, LL) adversely affected A. adenophora by delaying germination time, inhibiting germination rate and reducing seedling growth. The increased invasion history exacerbated the adverse effects of LL and LS feedbacks on seedling growth. These adverse effects were partially contributed by more abundant fungi (e.g. Didymella) or/and more virulent fungi (e.g. Fusarium) developed in the aboveground part of A. adenophora during the invasion. Interestingly, the aboveground adverse effects can be weakened by microbes from RSs. Our novel findings emphasize the important role of aboveground feedbacks in the evaluation of plant invasiveness, and their commonness and significance remain to be explored in other invasive systems.

description: Zika virus (ZIKV) strains belong to the East African, West African, and Asian/American phylogenetic lineages. RNA viruses, like ZIKV, exist as populations of genetically-related sequences whose heterogeneity may impact viral fitness, evolution, and virulence. Genetic diversity of representative ZIKVs from each lineage was examined using next generation sequencing (NGS) paired with downstream entropy and single nucleotide variant (SNV) analysis. Comparisons showed that inter-lineage diversity was statistically supported, while intra-lineage diversity varied. Intra-lineage diversity was significant for East but not West Africa strains. Furthermore, intra-lineage diversity for the Asian/American lineage was not supported for human serum isolates; however, a placenta isolate differed significantly. Relative entropy values were higher in the pre-membrane/membrane (prM/M) gene of several ZIKV strains. Additionally, the East African lineage contained a greater number of synonymous SNVs, while a greater number of non-synonymous SNVs were identified for American strains. Further, inter-lineage SNVs were dispersed throughout the genome, whereas intra-lineage non-synonymous SNVs for Asian/American strains clustered within prM/M and NS1 gene. This comprehensive analysis of ZIKV genetic diversity provides a repository of SNV positions across lineages. We posit that increased non-synonymous SNV populations and increased relative genetic diversity of the prM/M and NS1 proteins provides more evidence for their role in ZIKV virulence and fitness.

description: Divorce and the Politics of the American Social Welfare Regime, 1969-2001 asks how rising divorce rates shaped the laws governing the American social welfare regime between 1969, when California passed the nation’s first no-fault divorce law, and 2001. Scholars have shown that in the early 20th century the American social welfare regime developed to distribute economic resources, such as Social Security, to women through their husbands. Between 1967 and 1979, however, the United States’ divorce rate doubled. This dissertation investigates how this sudden challenge to the breadwinner-homemaker family structure affected the gendered welfare regime.
      Divorce and the Politics of the American Social Welfare Regime examines how women organized to gain access to lost economic resources after divorce and how policymakers responded to their demands. It reveals important and forgotten components of the histories of welfare state development, the feminist movement of the 1970s, and marriage law. It argues that, ironically, rising divorce rates led to a series of federal laws that actually strengthened the social welfare system’s use of marriage to determine eligiblity for benefits. These new laws specifically rewarded intact marriages by providing more robust benefits to women in longer marriages. In a political world increasingly concerned with the impermenance of marriage, Congress created a legal system that signaled that marriage was about length of commitment above all else.

description: We report a serendipitous discovery of broad absorption lines that were newly formed in the spectrum of the high-redshift, luminous radio-loud quasar TEX 1726 + 344, in a time interval of only 12 years. This is the first quasar showing a transition from narrow absorption lines to broad absorption lines. It also becomes one of the few radio-loud broad absorption line quasars. The gas cloud responsible for these broad absorption lines is derived to have parameters coinciding with those of the remnant of a tidally disrupted star.

description: We present two families of multi-field potentials that support inflation while satisfying the refined de Sitter and the distance swampland conjectures. Both families feature Planck-compatible phenomenology. The first is a helix-type potential, in a flat field-space metric, that satisfies the conjectures via a high turning rate. This model has a tensor-toscalar ratio close to, but below, the current experimental limits and small non-gaussianities. The second family, an example of orbital inflation, utilizes a negatively curved field metric to achieve prolonged inflation with nontrivial turning in the presence of a tachyonic direction. Although perturbations in this model undergo an exponential growth before horizon exit, it is always possible to match the measured amplitude of the power spectrum by lowering the scale of inflation if the turning rate is low enough. We identify a Planck-compatible region of parameter space in which the scale of inflation is above that of nucleosynthesis. Due to the rapid growth, this model predicts an exponentially suppressed value for the tensor-to-scalar ratio.

description: This article shows the results obtained in a survey with accounting students of a Higher Education Institution located in Bahia's southwest related at teaching and forensic accounting job's market. The point of the research was to show, in the students' perspective, the interest in forensic accounting and the level of information on labor challenges and market opportunities. To obtain the responses, it was used a questionnaire as method. The questionnaire was
completed in the 2nd half of 2015 with responses by 16 undergraduates and 70 graduates, all returned the instrument with the responses submitted. The results showed with 95% confidence that the students are interested in the discipline of Forensic Accounting, but it is
noticeable a need for curriculum strengthening of the course so that the students can make the most of labor market opportunities. Regarding specifically the discipline of Forensic Accounting, in the respondents' view, the institution shall strengthen the practical activities in the classroom, so that the relationship between theory and practice could be increased in order to consolidate the learning process with a more qualified training, giving greater basis for professional guidance. These results suggest the need for institution to promote curricular adjustment in order to eliminate the highlighted deficiencies.

description: Solar cells with Cu2ZnSnS4 absorber thin films have a potential for high energy conversion efficiencies with earth-abundant and non-toxic elements. In this work the formation of CZTSSe from CuxSnSy nanoparticles (NPs) deposited on ZnO nanorod (NR) arrays as precursors for zinc is investigated. The NPs are prepared using a chemical route and are dispersed in toluene. The ZnO NRs are grown on fluorine doped SnO2 coated glass substrates by electro deposition method. A series of samples are annealed at different temperatures between 300 °C and 550 °C in selenium containing argon atmosphere. To investigate the products of the reaction between the precursors the series is analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The morphology is recorded by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of broken cross sections. The XRD measurements and the SEM images show the disappearing of ZnO NRs with increasing annealing temperature. Simultaneously the XRD and Raman measurements show the formation of CZTSSe. The formation of secondary phases and the optimum conditions for the preparation of CZTSSe is discussed

description: One-electron oxidation of two series of diaryldichalcogenides (C6F5E)2 (13a–c) and (2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2 (16a–c) was studied (E = S, Se, Te). The reaction of 13a and 13b with AsF5 and SbF5 gave rise to the formation of thermally unstable radical cations [(C6F5S)2]˙+ (14a) and [(C6F5Se)2]˙+ (14b) that were isolated as [Sb2F11]− and [As2F11]− salts, respectively. The reaction of 13c with AsF5 afforded only the product of a Te–C bond cleavage, namely the previously known dication [Te4]2+ that was isolated as [AsF6]− salt. The reaction of (2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2 (16a–c) with [NO][SbF6] provided the corresponding radical cations [(2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2]˙+ (17a–c; E = S, Se, Te) in the form of thermally stable [SbF6]− salts in nearly quantitative yields. The electronic and structural properties of these radical cations were probed by X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations and other methods.

description: In the last few years, many different methods have been focusing on using deep recurrent neural networks for natural language generation. The most widely used sequence-to-sequence neural methods are word-based: as such, they need a pre-processing step called delexicalization (conversely, relexicalization) to deal with uncommon or unknown words. These forms of processing, however, give rise to models that depend on the vocabulary used and are not completely neural. In this work, we present an end-to-end sequence-to-sequence model with attention mechanism which reads and generates at a character level, no longer requiring delexicalization, tokenization, nor even lowercasing. Moreover, since characters constitute the common "building blocks" of every text, it also allows a more general approach to text generation, enabling the possibility to exploit transfer learning for training. These skills are obtained thanks to two major features: (i) the possibility to alternate between the standard generation mechanism and a copy one, which allows to directly copy input facts to produce outputs, and (ii) the use of an original training pipeline that further improves the quality of the generated texts. We also introduce a new dataset called E2E+, designed to highlight the copying capabilities of character-based models, that is a modified version of the well-known E2E dataset used in the E2E Challenge. We tested our model according to five broadly accepted metrics (including the widely used BLEU), showing that it yields competitive performance with respect to both character-based and word-based approaches.

description: The evaporation of vapor bubbles inside a microchannel is important to realize a device with high cooling performance. The liquid film formed on the solid surface is essential for evaporative heat transfer from solid to fluid; its formation process and heat transfer characteristics need to be investigated. The expansion process of a single vapor bubble via evaporative heat transfer in microchannels was evaluated via a numerical simulation in this study. In the calculation model, the working fluid used was saturated FC-72 at 0.1013 MPa and the channel diameter was 200 $μ$m. The superheat of the initial temperature field and wall were considered as parameters. To evaluate the heat transfer characteristics, the time variation of liquid film thickness was evaluated. The averaged liquid film thickness had a correlation with the capillary number. Additionally, the dominant heat transfer mode was estimated by decomposing the heat transfer rate into the heat-transfer rate through the liquid film, rear edge, and wake. When the superheat was low, the heat transfer mostly occurred via liquid film evaporation; the heat flux through the liquid film could be predicted using the liquid film thickness. On the other hand, in cases of higher superheat, owing to rapid expansion of the vapor bubble, no evaporative heat transfer occurred through the liquid film around the bubble head. It could be inferred from this study that the relationship between the thickness of the thermal boundary layer of the bubble and liquid film thickness is important for predicting the cooling effect of this phenomena. When the vapor bubble grows in the high superheat liquid, the rapid growth makes the liquid film thick, and the thick liquid film prevents the heat transfer between the liquid-vapor interface and heated wall.
