description: Non-singlet ${\cal{O}}(α_s^2)$ corrections from light quarks are calculated analytically for the massive quark-antiquark pair production rates through the vector, axial-vector, scalar and pseudoscalar currents for all energies above the threshold. The results are presented in terms of the moments of the absorptive part of the vacuum polarization function of the light quarks which allows for an immediate determination of ${\cal{O}}(α_s^2)$ corrections coming from other types of light particles. The kinematic regime close to the threshold is examined.

description: Motivated by the recent experiment on $\rm{K_2Cu_3O\left(SO_4\right)_3}$, an edge-shared tetrahedral spin-cluster compound [M. Fujihala \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{120}, 077201 (2018)], we investigate two-leg spin-cluster ladders with the plaquette number $n_p$ in each cluster up to six by the density-matrix renormalization group method. We find that the phase diagram of such ladders strongly depends on the parity of $n_p$. For even $n_p$, the phase diagram has two phases, one is the Haldane phase, and the other is the cluster rung-singlet phase. For odd $n_p$, there are four phases, which are a cluster-singlet phase, a cluster rung-singlet phase, a Haldane phase and an even Haldane phase. Moreover, in the latter case the region of the Haldane phase increases while the cluster-singlet phase and the even Haldane phase shrink as $n_p$ increases. We thus conjecture that in the large $n_p$ limit, the phase diagram will become independent of $n_p$. By analysing the ground-state energy and entanglement entropy we obtain the order of the phase transtions. In particular, for $n_p=1$ there is no phase transition between the even Haldane phase and the cluster-singlet phase while for other odd $n_p$ there is a first-order phase transition. Our work provides comprehensive phase diagrams for these cluster-based models and may be helpful to understand experiments on related materials.

description: Positronium and Muonium are purely leptonic atoms and hence free of an internal sub-structure. This qualifies them as potentially well suited systems to probe the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We hence carry out a comprehensive study of the sensitivity of current Positronium and Muonium precision spectroscopy to several new physics scenarios. By taking properly into account existing experimental and astrophysical probes, we define clear experimental targets to probe new physics via precise spectroscopy. For Positronium we find that, in order for the spectroscopy bounds to reach a sensitivity comparable to the electron gyromagnetic factor, an improvement of roughly five orders of magnitude from state-of-the-art precision is required, which would be a challenge based on current technology. More promising is instead the potential reach of Muonium spectroscopy: in the next few years experiments like Mu-MASS at PSI will probe new regions of the parameter space testing the existence of medium/short range (MeV and above) spin-dependent and spin-independent dark forces between electrons and muons.

description: Additional file 2: Table S2. Tabular data of Fig. 6. For each group (e.g. AcTub-labeled cilia in NIH3T3 cells, etc.), absolute cilia count from analyzed images were averaged and reported as manual true cilia (“Manual TC”) averages ± standard deviations. Thus, a data set with a Manual TC of 11.9 ± 2.8 indicates an average of 11.9 cilia per image with a standard deviation of 2.8 cilia per image. “Automated TC” average counts differ from those of “Manual TC” because in automated analysis mode some true cilia might not be detected by the software. An “Automated TC” of 11.4 ± 2.4 (96% of “Manual TC”) indicates that, on average, the software auto-detects 96% of true cilia in each image. A false positive (FP) rate of 2.7 ± 1.9 (23% of “Manual TC”) indicates that, on average, the software will include 2.7 additional objects (23% more fake cilia) in each image, on top of the 11.4 ± 2.4 (96%) detected true cilia per image. A false negative (FN) rate of 0.5 ± 0.9 (4% of “Manual TC”) indicates that, on average, the software will not detect 4% of the “Manual TC” in each image. Precision (α) is calculated using the data from the “Automated TC” and “FP” rows. Recall (β) is calculated using the data from the “Automated TC” and “FN” rows. F1 score is calculated using the data from the “Precision (α)” and “Recall (β)” rows. Accuracy ratings are based on F1 score values, which range from 0 to 1.00 (0.95–1.00, ++++ ; 0.90–0.94, +++; 0.85–0.89, ++/+++).

description: Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is one of the hot topics in the robotics community in the last years, under the Industry 4.0 paradigm. Collaborative robots reduce human- operator fatigue and the risk of injuries, being a safe working buddy. With this aim, this contribution proposes a variable impedance control algorithm exploiting a Model-Based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL) impedance controller to assist human- operators in collaborative tasks, reducing his/her physical effort. An ensemble of neural networks (ANNs) is used to learn a human-robot interaction dynamics model, catching dynamics uncertainties. Such learned model is then used by a model predictive controller (MPC) with cross-entropy method (CEM) to online optimize the impedance control parameters (i.e., stiffness and damping parameters). The proposed approach will be validated through an experimental procedure (a FRANKA Emika manipulator will be used as a test platform) involving a lifting task of an unknown payload (3 kg), comparing the obtained results with model-free optimization control strategies.

(CASE STUDY OF SMEs IN GALKAYO)

description: Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in Somalia's economic development by providing employment opportunities, fostering innovation, and contributing to GDP growth. However, several challenges hinder their performance and sustainability. This study examines the factors that affect the performance of SMEs in Galkayo, Somalia, focusing on financial constraints, political instability, regulatory barriers, and human resource capacity.

Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys and interviews with SME owners, managers, and key stakeholders. The findings indicate that limited access to finance, lack of financial management skills, and an underdeveloped banking system significantly impact SMEs’ ability to grow and compete. Additionally, political instability and regulatory challenges create an uncertain business environment, increasing operational costs and discouraging investment. The study also highlights the role of inadequate human resource capacity, particularly in terms of managerial skills and workforce development, in limiting SME success.

The research underscores the need for targeted interventions, including policy reforms, improved access to finance, and investment in business training programs. Recommendations include enhancing financial literacy initiatives, establishing SME-friendly policies, and fostering a stable economic environment to support business growth. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and organizations aiming to improve the performance and sustainability of SMEs in Somalia.

Asymptotic solutions are obtained for the case of random Gaussian initial conditions and for system dimensionality $d \geq 2$. Large-t, intermediate-t and small-t asymptotics were calculated and compared with existing scaling theories, exact results and simulation data.

description: Appropriate test data is a crucial factor to reach success in dynamic software testing, e.g., fuzzing. Most of the real-world applications, however, accept complex structure inputs containing data surrounded by meta-data which is processed in several stages comprising of the parsing and rendering (execution). It makes the automatically generating efficient test data, to be non-trivial and laborious activity. The success of deep learning to cope in solving complex tasks especially in generative tasks has motivated us to exploit it in the context of complex test data generation. To do so, a neural language model (NLM) based on deep recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is used to learn the structure of complex input. Our approach generates new test data while distinguishes between data and meta-data that makes it possible to target both the parsing and rendering parts of software under test (SUT). Such test data can improve, input fuzzing. To assess the proposed approach, we developed a modular file format fuzzer, IUST-DeepFuzz. Our conducted experiments on the MuPDF, a lightweight and favorite portable document format (PDF) reader, reveal that IUST-DeepFuzz reaches high coverage of SUT in comparison with the state-of-the-art tools such as learn&fuzz, AFL, Augmented-AFL and random fuzzing. We also observed that the simpler deep learning models, the higher code coverage.

description: We show that a one-dimensional chain of trapped ions can be engineered to produce a quantum mechanical system with discrete scale invariance and fractal-like time dependence. By discrete scale invariance we mean a system that replicates itself under a rescaling of distance for some scale factor, and a time fractal is a signal that is invariant under the rescaling of time. These features are reminiscent of the Efimov effect, which has been predicted and observed in bound states of three-body systems. We demonstrate that discrete scale invariance in the trapped ion system can be controlled with two independently tunable parameters. We also discuss the extension to n-body states where the discrete scaling symmetry has an exotic heterogeneous structure. The results we present can be realized using currently available technologies developed for trapped ion quantum systems.

description: We consider the problem of tunneling between spinless 1D Luttinger liquid chains. We show how to map the problem onto the 4-state chiral clock model together with a free boson for the total charge mode. We use a variety of results, some of them exact, from the integrable chiral Potts model and the study of commensurate/incommensurate transitions to deduce the physics of coupled Luttinger liquids. For those intrachain interaction strengths for which interchain tunneling is relevant, we find that it can lead to the formation of symmetric and antisymmetric bands with split Fermi surfaces, depending on the relative strengths of interchain tunneling and interchain interactions. With split Fermi surfaces, the tunneling is coherent. It is not possible to have two gapless Fermi surfaces with the same Fermi momentum when interchain tunneling is relevant. However, interchain interactions can drive the formation of a gap, in which case interchain transport will be incoherent. We comment on the possible relevance of our results to c-axis transport in high-T_c superconductors.

description: Recent researches introduced fast, compact and efficient convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for offline handwritten Chinese character recognition (HCCR). However, many of them did not address the problem of network interpretability. We propose a new architecture of a deep CNN with high recognition performance which is capable of learning deep features for visualization. A special characteristic of our model is the bottleneck layers which enable us to retain its expressiveness while reducing the number of multiply-accumulate operations and the required storage. We introduce a modification of global weighted average pooling (GWAP) - global weighted output average pooling (GWOAP). This paper demonstrates how they allow us to calculate class activation maps (CAMs) in order to indicate the most relevant input character image regions used by our CNN to identify a certain class. Evaluating on the ICDAR-2013 offline HCCR competition dataset, we show that our model enables a relative 0.83% error reduction while having 49% fewer parameters and the same computational cost compared to the current state-of-the-art single-network method trained only on handwritten data. Our solution outperforms even recent residual learning approaches.

Formal Verification-based Risk Assessment for Industrial Human-Robot Collaboration

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Human-robot collaboration (HRC) imposes potential frequent physical interaction and/or close proximity between the two agents. Most likely, and specifically for unstructured environments, changing layouts and dynamic task allocation, the prediction of hazardous conditions may be difficult or incomplete. Nonetheless, conducting a thorough risk assessment on the mechanical hazards—physical harms to the human operator caused by the robot—is essential for collaborative systems, to define preventive or responsive mitigation mechanisms within the system. In previous works [1], [2], we have defined a methodology, SAFER-HRC, that applies formal verification for hazard identification and risk analysis of contact hazards. SAFER-HRC creates formal models of HRC applications via the TRIO temporal logic [3] and uses an automated verification tool, called Zot [4], to exhaustively search their state space for hazardous situations. Given a UML model of the application based on a specific profile notation [5], SAFER-HRC translates it to a logic model containing: (i) logic formulae that describe a discrete representation of operator, robot and the layout, the most important entities of collaborative systems, and the executing job; (ii) formulae modeling the significant hazardous situations as described in ISO 10218-2 and ISO/TS 15066; (iii) formulae modeling human error phenotypes [6]; (iv) a formal replication of the ISO/TR 14121-2 risk estimation procedure; (v) formulae describing risk reduction measures (RRM) for collaborative modes as described in ISO/TS 15066. SAFER-HRC does not replace human risk assessors, but it provides an automated assistant that helps them detect hazardous situations and compute the overall risk of the system. Figure 1 shows a walk-through of SAFER-HRC where, starting from UML diagrams, a formal model is automatically generated and verified. In case the model requires additional RRMs, manual intervention is needed by the human assessor to choose the best-suited RRMs for each situation.

description: We review the loop effects of the low energy supersymmetry. The global success of the Standard Model rises two related questions: how strongly the mass scales of the superpartners are constrained and can they be, nevertheless, indirectly seen in precision measurements. The bulk of the electroweak data is well screened from supersymmetric loop effects, due to the structure of the theory, even with superpartners generically light, $O(M_Z)$. The only exception are the left-handed squarks of the third generation which have to be $\simgt O(300$ GeV) to maintain the success of the SM. The other superpartners can still be light, at their present experimental mass limits, and would manifest themselves through virtual corrections to the small number of observables such as $R_b, b \to sγ, K^0-\bar K^0$ and $B^0-\bar B^0$ mixing and a few more for large $tanβ$. Those effects require still higher experimental precision to be detectable.

An Approach to Stability Analyses in General Relativity via Symplectic Geometry

description: We begin with a review of the statements of non-linear, linear and mode stability of autonomous dynamical systems in classical mechanics, using symplectic geometry. We then discuss what the phase space and the Hamiltonian of general relativity are, what constitutes a dynamical system, and subsequently draw a formal analogy between the notions of stability in these two theories. Our approach here is pedagogical and geometric, and considerably simplifies a formal understanding of the statements regarding the stability of stationary solutions of general relativity. In particular, the governing equations of motion of a Hamiltonian dynamical system are simply the flow equations of the associated symplectic Hamiltonian vector field, defined on phase space, and the non-linear stability analysis of its critical points have simply to do with the divergence of its flow there. Further, the linear stability of a critical point is related to the properties of the tangent flow of the Hamiltonian vector field. Further, we posit that a study of the genericity of a particular black hole or naked singularity spacetime forming as an endstate of gravitational collapse is equivalent to an inquiry of how sensitive the orbits of the symplectic Hamiltonian vector field of general relativity are to changes in initial data. We demonstrate this by conducting a restricted non-linear stability analysis of the formation of a Schwarzschild black hole, working in the usual initial value formulation of general relativity.

Localization of electrons in two-dimensional spatially-correlated random magnetic fields

description: The localization properties of electrons moving in a plane perpendicular to a spatially-correlated static magnetic field of random amplitude and vanishing mean are investigated. We apply the method of level statistics to the eigenvalues and perform a multifractal analysis for the eigenstates. From the size and disorder dependence of the variance of the nearest neighbor energy spacing distribution, $P_{W,L}(s)$, a single branch scaling curve is obtained. Contrary to a recent claim, we find no metal-insulator-transition in the presence of diagonal disorder. Instead, as in the uncorrelated random magnetic field case, conventional unitary behavior (all states are localized) is observed. The eigenstates at the band center, which in the absence of diagonal disorder are believed to belong to the chiral unitary symmetry class, are shown to exhibit a $f(α)$-distribution for not too weak random fields. The corresponding generalized multifractal dimensions are calculated and found to be different from the results known for a QHE-system.

description: The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a heterogeneous midbrain structure, containing neurons and astrocytes, that coordinates behaviors by integrating activity from numerous afferents. Within neuron-astrocyte networks, astrocytes control signals from distinct afferents in a circuit-specific manner, but whether this capacity scales up to drive motivated behavior has been undetermined. Using genetic and optical dissection strategies we report that VTA astrocytes tune glutamatergic signaling selectively on local inhibitory neurons to drive a functional circuit for learned avoidance. In this circuit, astrocytes facilitate excitation of VTA GABA neurons to increase inhibition of dopamine neurons, eliciting real-time and learned avoidance behavior that is sufficient to impede expression of preference for reward. Loss of one glutamate transporter (GLT-1) from VTA astrocytes selectively blocks these avoidance behaviors and spares preference for reward. Thus, VTA astrocytes selectively regulate excitation of local GABA neurons to drive a distinct avoidance circuit that opposes approach behavior.
Energy Efficient Frequency Scaling and Scheduling for Malleable Tasks
Creators: name: Sanders, Peter
name: Speck, Jochen
Publisher: name: Springer Verlag
Year: 2012

description: We give an efficient algorithm for solving the following scheduling problem to optimality: Assign n jobs to m processors such that they all meet a common deadline T and energy consumption is minimized by appropriately controlling the clock frequencies of the processors. Jobs are malleable, i.e., their amount of parallelism can be flexibly adapted. In contrast to previous work on energy efficient scheduling we allow more realistic energy consumption functions including a minimum and maximum clock frequency and a linear term in energy consumption. We need certain assumptions on the speedup function of the jobs that we show to apply for a large class of practically occurring functions.
Vacuum Stability of Asymptotically Safe Two Higgs Doublet Models

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study different types of Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) under the assumption that all quartic couplings' beta functions vanish simultaneously at the Planck scale. The Standard Model seems to display this property almost accidentally, because the Higgs boson mass is close to 125 GeV. This also ties closely into the question of whether the theory is stable or metastable. We investigate if such "fixed points" can exist in various $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric 2HDM subclasses, and if the theories that meet these conditions are phenomenologically viable, as well as vacuum stable. We find that the fixed point condition drastically reduces the parameter space of 2HDM theories, but can be met. Fixed points can only exist in type II and type Y models, in regions of large tan$β$, and they are only compatible with all existing experimental bounds if the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetry is at least softly broken, with a soft breaking parameter of at least $M_{12}$ $>$ 70 GeV (380 GeV) for type Y (type II) models. The allowed region falls into the alignment limit, with the mixing angle combination $|α- β| \approx\fracπ{2}$. While there are both vacuum-stable and vacuum-unstable solutions, only the vacuum-unstable ones really agree with Standard-Model-like CP-even Higgs boson mass values of 125 GeV. The vacuum-stable solutions favour slightly higher values. While scenarios of asymptotically safe 2HDM exist, they cannot improve over the Standard Model regarding the question of vacuum stability.

description: Additional file 4: Figure S4. Quantitative analysis of ACDC accuracy in detecting nuclei and cilia frequency. (A) Examples of nuclei detection with ACDC software of the two representative images used for Experiment 2. (B) Manual and automated detection of RPE nuclei labeled with DAPI in 60×-mag. images. Manually-detected nuclei represent the total number of true nuclei (light green bar). Automatedly-detected nuclei represent the proportion of true nuclei that were detected in automated analysis mode (dark green bar). In regards to nuclei detection, repeating the analysis using two different representative images from the same Experiment 2 data set yielded identical FP and FN rates (0.9%) and identical F1 scores (F1 = 0.99). Note that detection auto-optimization from representative images is not utilized for nuclei segmentation and detection. (C) Tabular data for the values depicted in (B). Accuracy ratings are based on F1 score values, which range from 0 to 1.00 (0.95–1.00, ++++ ; 0.90–0.94, +++; 0.85–0.89, ++/+++). (D) Manual and automated analysis of cilia frequency for the images from Experiment 2. Cilia frequency values were calculated by dividing the cilia count/image values by the nuclei count/image values. All measurements are reported as averages ± standard deviations of multiple images from one experiment.

description: In the last decades, scientific and technological advances in autonomous mobile robotics have shown that robots can provide a valid alternative to humans in carrying out repetitive, difficult, and hazardous tasks. This is especially true for information gathering tasks, including exploration, search and rescue, monitoring, inspection, and patrolling. This extended abstract overviews some recent results on models and algorithms for planning information gathering paths of single and multiple autonomous mobile robots, focusing on some of the contributions that have been provided by the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory (AIRLab) of the Politenico di Milano.

description: We present the convolution integral for fermion pair production in the electroweak standard theory to order O(alpha) including also soft photon exponentiation. The result is complete in the sense that it includes initial and final state radiation and their interference. From the basic result - analytic formulae for the differential cross section - we also derive the corresponding expressions for total cross section and integrated forward-backward asymmetry. The numerical importance of different contributions for the analysis of experiments at LEP/SLC energies is discussed.

description: The use of soft materials in robotics is suggested by the limitations that traditional robotics based on rigid links find in many applications. A soft body introduces unexplored possibilities in robotics, currently difficult to exploit, but source of rich behaviours. To this aim, new soft mechatronics is necessary, in particular in soft actuation principles. Many steps are still needed, they are already demonstrating the potential for a radical technological change in several application fields.
Constructing stable de Sitter in M-theory from higher curvature corrections

description: We consider dimensional reductions of M-theory on $\mathbb{T}^{7}/\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{3}$ with the inclusion of arbitrary metric flux and spacetime filling KK monopoles. With these ingredients at hand, we are able to construct a novel family of non-supersymmetric yet tachyon free Minkowski extrema. These solutions are supported by pure geometry with no extra need for gauge fluxes and possess a fully stable perturbative mass spectrum, up to a single flat direction. Such a direction corresponds to the overall internal volume, with respect to which the scalar potential exhibits a no-scale behavior. We then provide a mechanism that lifts the flat direction to give it a positive squared mass while turning Mkw$_{4}$ into dS$_{4}$. The construction makes use of the combined effect of $G_{7}$ flux and higher curvature corrections. Our solution is scale separated and the quantum corrections are small. Finally we speculate on novel possibilities when it comes to scale hierarchies within a given construction of this type, and possible issues with the choice of quantum vacuum.
