description: After the discovery of a Higgs boson in 2012 at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the detailed study of its properties, and most importantly its couplings to other particles, has started. This is a very important task to be completed, in particular to test whether it is indeed the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model (SM). The precise study of the Higgs couplings to gauge bosons is of particular importance and requires as much information as possible. In this view this paper provides the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the production cross sections and differential distributions of a SM Higgs boson in association with a pair of weak bosons $W^+W^-$, $W^\pm Z$ and $ZZ$, matched with parton shower (PS) in the POWHEG-BOX framework. The NLO QCD corrections are found to be significant and PS effects are sizable at low $p_T$ in the jet differential distributions, as expected, while these effects are negligible in other distributions. We will also provide a detailed study of the theoretical uncertainties affecting the total production rates at the LHC and at the Future Circular Collider in hadron-hadron mode, the potential 100 TeV follow-up of the LHC machine: the scale uncertainty calculated by the variation of the renormalization and factorization scales, the parton distribution function and related $α_s$ errors as well as the parametric uncertainties on the input weak boson masses.

description: Active automata learning algorithms cannot easily handle conflict in the observation data (different outputs observed for the same inputs). This inherent inability to recover after a conflict impairs their effective applicability in scenarios where noise is present or the system under learning is mutating. We propose the Conflict-Aware Active Automata Learning (C3AL) framework to enable handling conflicting information during the learning process. The core idea is to consider the so-called observation tree as a first-class citizen in the learning process. Though this idea is explored in recent work, we take it to its full effect by enabling its use with any existing learner and minimizing the number of tests performed on the system under learning, specially in the face of conflicts. We evaluate C3AL in a large set of benchmarks, covering over 30 different realistic targets, and over 18,000 different scenarios. The results of the evaluation show that C3AL is a suitable alternative framework for closed-box learning that can better handle noise and mutations.

Subjects: subject: Computational Complexity (cs.CC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We study an extension of the Arrival problem, called Recursive Arrival, inspired by Recursive State Machines, which allows for a family of switching graphs that can call each other in a recursive way. We study the computational complexity of deciding whether a Recursive Arrival instance terminates at a given target vertex. We show this problem is contained in NP \cap coNP, and we show that a search version of the problem lies in UEOPL, and hence in EOPL = PLS \cap PPAD. Furthermore, we show P-hardness of the Recursive Arrival decision problem. By contrast, the current best-known hardness result for Arrival is PL-hardness.

description: Co-pyrolysis of rice husk (RH) and cattle manure (CM) was carried out in N2/CO2 atmosphere in a fixed pyrolysis furnace. The effects of pyrolysis temperature and ratio of RH to CM on pyrolysis products were investigated. The results showed that the co-pyrolysis of RH and CM demonstrated a synergistic effect, significantly enhancing hydrogen production and altering tar composition. The mass loss rate was increased by 5.01%. The highest H2 content (26.34%) was obtained at 800°C in RHCM1:0. Co-pyrolysis reduced the content of PAHs in tar, while it increased the content of aliphatic hydrocarbons and oxygen-containing aliphatic hydrocarbons. Compared with the H2 and CO content in N2 atmosphere, they were increased by 30.25% and 30.69%, respectively at 800°C in RHCM1:1 in CO2 atmosphere. Meanwhile, the content of aliphatic hydrocarbons was increased and the types of PAHs were reduced in CO2 atmosphere.
Analogy of space time as un elastic medium -- Can we establish a thermal expansion coefficient of space from the cosmological constant Lambda?

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper advances the state of the art by extending the study of the analogy between the spacetime fabric and elasticity.As no prior work exists about a potential spacetime thermal expansion coeff Lambda, we explore the analogy of GR with the elasticity theory by considering the cosmological constant Lambda as an additional space curvature of the space frame due to a thermal gradient coming from the cosmic web and the cold vacuum and we propose ((AlphaxDeltaT)/e)^2=(1/Ro)^2=Lambda with Ro being the curvature radius of the space fabric.It follows from this analogy and from the supposed space model consisting of thin sheets of Planck thickness Lp curved by this thermal gradient DeltaT a possible thermal expansion coefficient of the equivalent elastic medium modeling the space AlphaS=(LpxLambda^(1/2))/DeltaT of the order of Alphas(QFT)=1.16x10-6 K-1.As space-time and not only space must be considered in GR, this paper also proposes an innovative approach which consists in introducing into the interval ds^2 of special relativity a temp effect T,(entropy variations correlated with time laps, based on temperature variations affecting always physically the clocks) based on different thermal expansion coefficients for space and time with for the flow of time t:cxt/cxnxtau=(kBxt)/nxhxDeltaT=AlphatxDeltaT.With T=10^6 K, n=1, the associate time interval is 4.8x10^-17s and Alphat=1.0x10^-6K^-1.The consequence of these hypothesis is that dark energy potentially becomes a thermal space-time curvature ((AlphafxT)/Lp)^2 with f equal to s or t depending of the temperature, the thermal entropy variation of the universe, the Planck thickness and time, that increases since the Bigbang, depending on thermal expansion coefficients for space-time Alphas and Alphat as a function respectively of Lambda, kB/hxt, in opposition to space-time curvature gravity due to mass/energy density as described in GR.

description: Specola Solare Ticinese is an observatory dedicated to Sunspot Number counting, which was constructed in 1957 in Locarno, Southern Switzerland, as an external observing station of the Zurich Federal Observatory. When in 1981 the responsibility of the determination of the International Sunspot Number was assumed by the Royal Observatory of Belgium, Specola Solare Ticinese was given the role of pilot station, with the aim of preserving the continuity in the counting method. We report the observing procedure and counting rules applied in Locarno.

2D ion crystals in radiofrequency traps for quantum simulation

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The computational difficulty of solving fully quantum many-body spin problems is a significant obstacle to understanding the behavior of strongly correlated quantum matter. Experimental ion-trap quantum simulation is a promising approach for studying these lattice spin models, but has so far been limited to one-dimensional systems. This work argues that such quantum simulation techniques are extendable to a 2D ion crystal confined in a radiofrequency (rf) trap. Using appropriately chosen parameters, driven ion motion due to the rf fields can be made small and will not limit the types of quantum spin models that can be experimentally encoded. The rf-driven motion is calculated to modestly reduce the stability region of a 2D crystal and must be considered when designing the 2D trap. The system will be scalable to 100+ quantum particles, far beyond the realm of classical intractability, while maintaining the traditional ion-trap strengths of individual-ion control, long quantum coherence times, and site-resolved projective spin measurements.

description: We find and study the properties of black hole solutions for a subclass of Horndeski theory including the cubic Galileon term. The theory under study has shift symmetry but not reflection symmetry for the scalar field. The Galileon is assumed to have linear time dependence characterized by a velocity parameter. We give analytic 3-dimensional solutions that are akin to the BTZ solutions but with a non-trivial scalar field that modifies the effective cosmological constant. We then study the 4-dimensional asymptotically flat and de Sitter solutions. The latter present three different branches according to their effective cosmological constant. For two of these branches, we find families of black hole solutions, parametrized by the velocity of the scalar field. These spherically symmetric solutions, obtained numerically, are different from GR solutions close to the black hole event horizon, while they have the same de-Sitter asymptotic behavior. The velocity parameter represents black hole primary hair.

description: In this paper, we explore the descriptive complexity theory of finite groups by examining the power of the second Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse bijective pebble game in Hella's (Ann. Pure Appl. Log., 1989) hierarchy. This is a Spoiler-Duplicator game in which Spoiler can place up to two pebbles each round. While it trivially solves graph isomorphism, it may be nontrivial for finite groups, and other ternary relational structures. We first provide a novel generalization of Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) coloring, which we call 2-ary WL. We then show that the 2-ary WL is equivalent to the second Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse bijective pebble game in Hella's hierarchy. Our main result is that, in the pebble game characterization, only O(1) pebbles and O(1) rounds are sufficient to identify all groups without Abelian normal subgroups (a class of groups for which isomorphism testing is known to be in P; Babai, Codenotti, & Qiao, ICALP 2012). In particular, we show that within the first few rounds, Spoiler can force Duplicator to select an isomorphism between two such groups at each subsequent round. By Hella's results (ibid.), this is equivalent to saying that these groups are identified by formulas in first-order logic with generalized 2-ary quantifiers, using only O(1) variables and O(1) quantifier depth.

The 750 GeV Diphoton Excess as a First Light on Supersymmetry Breaking

description: One of the most exciting explanations advanced for the recent diphoton excess found by ATLAS and CMS is in terms of sgoldstino decays: a signal of low-energy supersymmetry-breaking scenarios. The sgoldstino, a scalar, couples directly to gluons and photons, with strength related to gaugino masses, that can be of the right magnitude to explain the excess. However, fitting the suggested resonance width, Gamma ~ 45 GeV, is not so easy. In this paper we explore efficient possibilities to enhance the sgoldstino width, via the decay into two Higgses, two Higgsinos and through mixing between the sgoldstino and the Higgs boson. In addition, we present an alternative and more efficient mechanism to generate a mass splitting between the scalar and pseudoscalar components of the sgoldstino, which has been suggested as an interesting alternative explanation to the apparent width of the resonance.

description: While discounted payoff games and classic games that reduce to them, like parity and mean-payoff games, are symmetric, their solutions are not. We have taken a fresh view on the constraints that optimal solutions need to satisfy, and devised a novel way to converge to them, which is entirely symmetric. It also challenges the gospel that methods for solving payoff games are either based on strategy improvement or on value iteration.

Our main result, the interreducibility of the existence of sure winning strategies for the protagonist, allows to transfer known complexity results and bounds on the delay from delay games to games under delayed control, for which no such results had been known. We furthermore analyze existence of randomized strategies that win almost surely, where this correspondence between the two types of games breaks down.

description: Previous studies of the stock price response to trades focused on the dynamics of single stocks, i.e. they addressed the self-response. We empirically investigate the price response of one stock to the trades of other stocks in a correlated market, i.e. the cross-responses. How large is the impact of one stock on others and vice versa? -- This impact of trades on the price change across stocks appears to be transient instead of permanent as we discuss from the viewpoint of market efficiency. Furthermore, we compare the self-responses on different scales and the self- and cross-responses on the same scale. We also find that the cross-correlation of the trade signs turns out to be a short-memory process.

Managing the Impact of Sensor's Thermal Noise in Machine Learning for Nuclear Applications

description: Sensors such as accelerometers, magnetometers, and gyroscopes are frequently utilized to perform measurements in nuclear power plants. For example, accelerometers are used for vibration monitoring of critical systems. With the recent rise of machine learning, data captured from such sensors can be used to build machine learning models for predictive maintenance and automation. However, these sensors are known to have thermal noise that can affect the sensor's accuracy. Thermal noise differs between sensors in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This thermal noise will cause an accuracy drop in sensor-fusion-based machine learning models when deployed in production. This paper lists some applications for Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors where such sensors are used and therefore can be impacted by the thermal noise issue if machine learning is utilized. A list of recommendations to help mitigate the issue when building future machine learning models for nuclear applications based on sensor fusion is provided. Additionally, this paper demonstrates that machine learning algorithms can be impacted differently by the issue, therefore selecting a more resilient model can help in mitigating it.

description: An effective supersymmetric QCD light-front Hamiltonian for hadrons composed of light quarks, which includes a spin-spin interaction between the hadronic constituents, is constructed by embedding superconformal quantum mechanics into AdS space. A specific breaking of conformal symmetry inside the graded algebra determines a unique effective quark-confining potential for light hadrons, as well as remarkable connections between the meson and baryon spectra. The results are consistent with the empirical features of the light-quark hadron spectra, including a universal mass scale for the slopes of the meson and baryon Regge trajectories and a zero-mass pion in the limit of massless quarks. Our analysis is consistently applied to the excitation spectra of the $π, ρ, K, K^*$ and $ϕ$ meson families as well as to the $N, Δ, Λ, Σ, Σ^*, Ξ$ and $Ξ^*$ in the baryon sector. We also predict the existence of tetraquarks which are degenerate in mass with baryons with the same angular momentum. The mass of light hadrons is expressed in a universal and frame-independent decomposition in the semiclassical approximation described here.

description: Video restoration for noise removal, deblurring or super-resolution is attracting more and more attention in the fields of image processing and computer vision. Works on video restoration with data-driven approaches for fog removal are rare however, due to the lack of datasets containing videos in both clear and foggy conditions which are required for deep learning and benchmarking. A new dataset, called REVIDE, was recently proposed for just that purpose. In this paper, we implement the same approach by proposing a new REal-world VIdeo dataset for the comparison of Defogging Algorithms (VIREDA), with various fog densities and ground truths without fog. This small database can serve as a test base for defogging algorithms. A video defogging algorithm is also mentioned (still under development), with the key idea of using temporal redundancy to minimize artefacts and exposure variations between frames. Inspired by the success of Transformers architecture in deep learning for various applications, we select this kind of architecture in a neural network to show the relevance of the proposed dataset.

description: The estimation of class prevalence, i.e., the fraction of a population that belongs to a certain class, is a very useful tool in data analytics and learning, and finds applications in many domains such as sentiment analysis, epidemiology, etc. For example, in sentiment analysis, the objective is often not to estimate whether a specific text conveys a positive or a negative sentiment, but rather estimate the overall distribution of positive and negative sentiments during an event window. A popular way of performing the above task, often dubbed quantification, is to use supervised learning to train a prevalence estimator from labeled data. Contemporary literature cites several performance measures used to measure the success of such prevalence estimators. In this paper we propose the first online stochastic algorithms for directly optimizing these quantification-specific performance measures. We also provide algorithms that optimize hybrid performance measures that seek to balance quantification and classification performance. Our algorithms present a significant advancement in the theory of multivariate optimization and we show, by a rigorous theoretical analysis, that they exhibit optimal convergence. We also report extensive experiments on benchmark and real data sets which demonstrate that our methods significantly outperform existing optimization techniques used for these performance measures.

description: Η ικανότητα ανταπόκρισης στις απαιτήσεις των πελατών και της αγοράς εν γένει αποτελεί βασική προϋπόθεση για την επιτυχή λειτουργία των σύγχρονων επιχειρήσεων. Η τρισδιάστατη εκτύπωση είναι μια επαναστατική τεχνολογία, η οποία μπορεί να ενισχύσει την ικανότητα αυτή, καθώς επιτρέπει την αύξηση της ευελιξίας της αλυσίδας εφοδιασμού. Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας, για την επίτευξη του οποίου πραγματοποιήθηκε βιβλιογραφική έρευνα, είναι η μελέτη της συγκεκριμένης τεχνολογίας, καθώς και της επίδρασής της στην εφοδιαστική αλυσίδα. Το μεγαλύτερο πλεονέκτημα της τρισδιάστατης εκτύπωσης είναι η δυνατότητα ψηφιακού σχεδιασμού και κατασκευής προϊόντων περίπλοκων γεωμετριών χωρίς προηγουμένως να απαιτείται η ανάπτυξη εργαλείων και μητρών. Έτσι, καθίσταται εφικτή η παραγωγή εξατομικευμένων προϊόντων, αποφεύγοντας την πρόσθετη οικονομική επιβάρυνση και την αύξηση του χρόνου παράδοσης που συνεπάγεται η κατά παραγγελία παραγωγή. Παράλληλα, μειώνονται οι ανάγκες για υψηλό αριθμό φυσικών αποθεμάτων, ενώ χάρη στη δυνατότητα εκτύπωσης και ένωσης πολλών εξαρτημάτων σε ένα ενιαίο προϊόν, εξαλείφεται η ανάγκη για παραγωγή ή εναλλακτικά προμήθεια, μεταφορά και αποθήκευση των επιμέρους αυτών εξαρτημάτων. Όλα τα παραπάνω συντελούν στη δημιουργία πιο ευέλικτων εφοδιαστικών αλυσίδων, ικανών να προσαρμόζονται στις μεταβαλλόμενες συνθήκες της αγοράς. Προς το παρόν, ο κύριος όγκος της βιβλιογραφίας αφορά τη χαμηλού όγκου παραγωγή περίπλοκης γεωμετρίας προϊόντων, η ζήτηση των οποίων είναι δύσκολο να προβλεφθεί (π.χ. ανταλλακτικά). Αν και τα συμπεράσματα για τη δυναμική της τρισδιάστατης εκτύπωσης, στις συγκεκριμένες περιπτώσεις, είναι θετικά, υπάρχουν ακόμα αρκετές προκλήσεις που πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστούν, καθώς πρόκειται για μια εξελισσόμενη τεχνολογία. Επίσης, απαιτείται περαιτέρω έρευνα για την αξιολόγηση των δυνατότητων της σε όλο το μήκος της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας, ενώ ακόμα δεν έχει εξαχθεί κάποιο συμπέρασμα σχετικά με την καταλληλότητά της σε εφαρμογές μαζικής παραγωγής.

description: We present the results of our monitoring program to study the long-term variability of the Halpha line in high-mass X-ray binaries. We have carried out the most complete optical spectroscopic study of the global properties of high-mass X-ray binaries so far with the analysis of more than 1100 spectra of 20 sources. Our aim is to characterise the optical variability timescales and study the interaction between the neutron star and the accreting material. Our results can be summarised as follows: i) we find that Be/X-ray binaries with narrow orbits are more variable than systems with long orbital periods, ii) we show that a Keplerian distribution of the gas particles provides a good description of the disks in Be/X-ray binaries, as it does in classical Be stars, iii) a decrease in the Halpha equivalent width is generally observed after major X-ray outbursts, iv) we confirm that the Halpha equivalent width correlates with disk radius, v) while systems with supergiant companions display, multi-structured profiles, most of the Be/X-ray binaries show at some epoch double-peak asymmetric profiles, indicating that density inhomogeneities is a common property in the disk of Be/X-ray binaries, vi) the profile variability (V/R ratio) timescales are shorter and the Halpha equivalent width are smaller in Be/X-ray binaries than in isolated Be stars, and vii) we provide new evidence that the disk in Be/X-ray binaries is on average denser than in classical Be stars.

Subtractor-Based CNN Inference Accelerator

description: This paper presents a novel method to boost the performance of CNN inference accelerators by utilizing subtractors. The proposed CNN preprocessing accelerator relies on sorting, grouping, and rounding the weights to create combinations that allow for the replacement of one multiplication operation and addition operation by a single subtraction operation when applying convolution during inference. Given the high cost of multiplication in terms of power and area, replacing it with subtraction allows for a performance boost by reducing power and area. The proposed method allows for controlling the trade-off between performance gains and accuracy loss through increasing or decreasing the usage of subtractors. With a rounding size of 0.05 and by utilizing LeNet-5 with the MNIST dataset, the proposed design can achieve 32.03% power savings and a 24.59% reduction in area at the cost of only 0.1% in terms of accuracy loss.
An end-to-end assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Genomics (q-bio.GN)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: We present an end-to-end genome assembly of a female Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads viral diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika to humans. The assembly is based on an earlier genome published in 2007 and improved in 2013. The new assembly has a scaffold N50 of 419Mb, with 96.9% of the ungapped sequence anchored to chromosomes. We used the new assembly to examine the conservation of A. aegypti chromosomes. Our results suggest that synteny is strongly conserved between Ae. aegypti and An. gambiae. Comparison to D. melanogaster highlights the extent to which the identity of entire chromosome arms is preserved across dipterans.

description: The aim of the project is to validate the cost, time and energy effectiveness of domestic retrofit across different house types, using an approach that could be employed to improve the energy efficiency of the vast majority of the existing 26 million homes in the UK which will still be in existence by 2050.The novel, mass-scale retrofit approach being tested was first developed in a deskbased ETI project (“Optimising thermal Efficiency of Existing Housing”) completed in 2012, as part of the ETI Buildings programme.The 20-month long, £475,000 project will retrofit five types of domestic property, identified and prioritised in the earlier ETI project

Through its Optimising thermal Efficiency of Existing Housing Project, the ETI developed a theoretical delivery mechanism for retrofitting the UK domestic housing stock at a sufficiently high rate to impact climate change targets, this was described as “the ETI Approach”. This document describes the methodology for implementing the ETI Approach on a house by house basis, consideringthe consumer,the solutions implementedthe delivery mechanism itself andthe potential business opportunities.The ETI Approach was subsequently subjected to testing, evaluation and improvement via the ETI’s “Domestic Retrofit Demonstration Project”.
