Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Objective. Spike sorting, a critical step in neural data processing, aims to classify spiking events from single electrode recordings based on different waveforms. This study aims to develop a novel online spike sorter, NeuSort, using neuromorphic models, with the ability to adaptively adjust to changes in neural signals, including waveform deformations and the appearance of new neurons. Approach. NeuSort leverages a neuromorphic model to emulate template-matching processes. This model incorporates plasticity learning mechanisms inspired by biological neural systems, facilitating real-time adjustments to online parameters. Results. Experimental findings demonstrate NeuSort's ability to track neuron activities amidst waveform deformations and identify new neurons in real-time. NeuSort excels in handling non-stationary neural signals, significantly enhancing its applicability for long-term spike sorting tasks. Moreover, its implementation on neuromorphic chips guarantees ultra-low energy consumption during computation. Significance. NeuSort caters to the demand for real-time spike sorting in brain-machine interfaces through a neuromorphic approach. Its unsupervised, automated spike sorting process makes it a plug-and-play solution for online spike sorting.

description: This work demonstrates the viability of scandium oxide deposition on silicon by means of high pressure sputtering. Deposition pressure and radio frequency power are varied for optimization of the properties of the thin films and the ScOx-Si interface. The physical characterization was performed by ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Aluminum gate electrodes were evaporated for metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) fabrication. From the electrical characterization of the MIS devices, the density of interfacial defects is found to decrease with deposition pressure, showing a reduced plasma damage of the substrate surface for higher pressures. This is also supported by lower flatband voltage shifts in the capacitance versus voltage hysteresis curves. Sputtering at high pressures (above 100 Pa) reduces the interfacial SiOx formation, according to the infrared spectra. The growth rates decrease with deposition pressure, so a very accurate control of the layer thicknesses could be provided.

When does an old nova become a dwarf nova? Kinematics and age of the nova shell of the dwarf nova AT Cnc

description: The Z Cam-type dwarf nova AT Cnc displays a classical nova (CN) shell, demonstrating that mass transfer in cataclysmic binaries decreases substantially after a CN eruption. The hibernation scenario of cataclysmic binaries predicts such a decrease, on a timescale of a few centuries. In order to measure the time since AT Cnc's last CN eruption, we have measured the radial velocities of a hundred clumps in its ejecta with SITELLE, CFHT's recently commissioned imaging Fourier transform spectrometer. These range from -455 to +490 km/s. Coupled with the known distance to AT Cnc of 460 pc (Shara 2012), the size of AT Cnc's shell, and a simple model of nova ejecta deceleration, we determine that the last CN eruption of this system occurred $330_{-90}^{+135}$ years ago. This is the most rapid transition from a high mass transfer rate, novalike variable to a low mass transfer rate, dwarf nova yet measured, and in accord with the hibernation scenario of cataclysmic binaries. We conclude by noting the similarity in deduced outburst date (within a century of 1686 CE) of AT Cnc with a "guest star" reported in the constellation Cancer by Korean observers in 1645 CE.

description: We propose a new design on integrated optical devices on-chip with an extra width degree of freedom by using a photonic crystal waveguide with Dirac points between two photonic crystals with opposite valley Chern numbers. With such an extra waveguide, we demonstrate numerically that the topologically protected photonic waveguide keeps properties of valley-locking and immunity to defects. Due to the design flexibility of the width-tunable topologically protected photonic waveguide, many unique on-chip integrated devices have been proposed, such as energy concentrators with a concentration efficiency improvement by more than one order of magnitude, topological photonic power splitter with arbitrary power splitting ratio. The topologically protected photonic waveguide with the width degree of freedom could be beneficial for scaling up photonic devices, which provides a new flexible platform to implement integrated photonic networks on chip.

Simple, self-assembling, single-site model amphiphile for water-free simulation of lyotropic phases
Creators: name: Dey, Somajit

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Computationally, low-resolution coarse-grained models provide the most viable means for simulating the large length and time scales associated with mesoscopic phenomena. Moreover, since lyotropic phases in solution may contain high solvent to amphiphile ratio, implicit solvent models are appropriate for many purposes. By modifying the well-known Gay-Berne potential with an imposed uni-directionality and a longer range, we have come to a simple single-site model amphiphile that can rapidly self-assemble to give diverse lyotropic phases without the explicit incorporation of solvent particles. The model represents a tuneable packing parameter that manifests in the spontaneous curvature of amphiphile aggregates. Apart from large scale simulations (e.g. the study of self-assembly, amphiphile mixing, domain formation etc.) this novel, non-specific model may be useful for suggestive pilot projects with modest computational resources. No such self-assembling, single-site amphiphile model has been reported previously in the literature to the best of our knowledge.

description: In this work we aim to determine the atmospheric survivability of the TRAPPIST-1 planets by modelling the response of the upper atmosphere to incoming stellar high-energy radiation. Through this case study, we also aim to learn more about rocky planet atmospheres in the habitable zone around low-mass M dwarfs. We simulated the upper atmospheres using the Kompot code, a self-consistent thermo-chemical code. Specifically, we studied the atmospheric mass loss due to Jeans escape induced by stellar high-energy radiation. This was achieved through a grid of models that account for the differences in planetary properties, irradiances, and atmospheric properties, allowing the exploration of the different factors influencing atmospheric loss. The present-day irradiance of the TRAPPIST-1 planets would lead to the loss of an Earth's atmosphere within just some 100 Myr. Taking into account the much more active early stages of a low-mass M dwarf, the planets undergo a period of even more extreme mass loss, regardless of planetary mass or atmospheric composition. This indicates that it is unlikely that any significant atmosphere could survive for any extended amount of time around any of the TRAPPIST-1 planets. The assumptions used here allow us to generalise the results, and we conclude that the results tentatively indicate that this conclusion applies to all Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of low-mass M dwarfs.

description: Sliding mode control of a launch vehicle during its atmospheric flight phase is studied in the presence of unmatched disturbances. Linear time-varying dynamics of the aerospace vehicle is converted into a systematic formula and then dynamic sliding manifold as an advanced method is used in order to overcome the limited capability of conventional sliding manifolds in minimizing the undesired effects of unmatched perturbations on the control system. At the end, simulation results are evaluated and the performance of two approaches are compared in terms of stability and robustness of the autopilot.

description: Two-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor(RT) instability problem is simulated with a multiple-relaxation-time discrete Boltzmann model with gravity term. The viscosity, heat conductivity and Prandtl number effects are probed from the macroscopic and the non-equilibrium views. In macro sense, both viscosity and heat conduction show significant inhibitory effect in the reacceleration stage, and the inhibition effect is mainly achieved by inhibiting the development of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. Before this, the Prandtl number effect is not sensitive. Based on the view of non-equilibrium, the viscosity, heat conductivity, and Prandtl number effects on non-equilibrium manifestations, and the correlation degrees between the non-uniformity and the non-equilibrium strength in the complex flow are systematic investigated.

Bañados-Silk-West effect with finite forces near different types of horizons: general classification of scenarios

description: If two particles move towards a black hole and collide in the vicinity of the horizon, under certain conditions their energy $E_{c.m.}$ in the center of mass frame can grow unbounded. This is the Bañados-Silk-West (BSW) effect. Usually, this effect is considered for extremal horizons and geodesic (or electrogedesic) trajectories. We study this effect in a more general context, when both geometric and dynamic factors are taken into account. We consider generic axially symmetric rotating black holes. The near-horizon behavior of metric coefficients is determined by three numbers $p,~q,$ $k$ that appear in the Taylor expansions for different types of a horizon$.$ This includes nonextremal, extremal and ultraextremal horizons. We also give general classification of possible trajectories that include so-called usual, subcritical, critical and ultracritical ones depending on the near-horizon behavior of the radial component of the four-velocity. We assume that particles move not freely but under the action of some unspecified force. We find when the finiteness of a force and the BSW effect are compatible with each other. The BSW effect implies that one of two particles has fine-tuned parameters. We show that such a particle always requires an infinite proper time for reaching the horizon. Otherwise, either a force becomes infinite or a horizon fails to be regular. This realizes the so-called principle of kinematic censorship that forbids literally infinite $E_{c.m.}$ in any act of collision. The obtained general results are illustrated for the Kerr-Newman-(anti-)de Sitter metric used as an example. The description of diversity of trajectories suggested in our work can be of use also in other contexts, beyond the BSW effect. In particular, we find the relation between a force and the type of a trajectory.

description: Let $c=(C_n)_{n\ge 0}$ be the Catalan sequence and $T$ a linear and bounded operator on a Banach space $X$ such $4T$ is a power-bounded operator. The Catalan generating function is defined by the following Taylor series, $$ C(T):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty C_nT^n. $$ Note that the operator $C(T)$ is a solution of the quadratic equation $TY^2-Y+I=0.$ In this paper we define powers of the Catalan generating function $C(T)$ in terms of the Catalan triangle numbers. We obtain new formulae which involve Catalan triangle numbers; the spectrum of $c^{\ast j}$ and the expression of $c^{-\ast j}$ for $j\ge 1$ in terms of Catalan polynomials ($\ast$ is the usual convolution product in sequences). In the last section, we give some particular examples to illustrate our results and some ideas to continue this research in the future.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are a powerful and flexible tool for information extraction and modeling. In this study, we use DNNs to extract the Sivers functions by globally fitting Semi- Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) and Drell-Yan (DY) data. To make predictions of this Transverse Momentum-dependent Distribution (TMD), we construct a minimally biased model using data from COMPASS and HERMES. The resulting Sivers function model, constructed using SIDIS data, is also used to make predictions for DY kinematics specific to the valence and sea quarks, with careful consideration given to experimental errors, data sparsity, and complexity of phase space.

description: By using a C3v symmetric (111) surface as a growth substrate, we are able to achieve high structural symmetry in self-assembled quantum dots, which are suitable for use as quantum-entangled photon emitters. Here we report on the wavelength controllability of InAs dots on InP(111)A, which we realized by tuning the ternary alloy composition of In(Al,Ga)As barriers that were lattice-matched to InP. We changed the peak emission wavelength systematically from 1.3 to 1.7 micrometer by barrier band gap tuning. The observed spectral shift agreed with the result of numerical simulations that assumed a measured shape distribution independent of barrier choice.

description: At the tail of its velocity distribution, cold dark matter (DM) can annihilate at finite temperature to states heavier than itself. We explore the possibility that DM freezeout is dictated by these "forbidden annihilations" at the electroweak scale. Demanding that annihilation products be Standard Model particles, we find that for the forbidden mechanism to primarily set the DM relic abundance, DM must couple predominantly, if not solely, to top quarks. This can be arranged by invoking a non-trivial flavor structure such as Minimal Flavor Violation. We avail two avenues to achieve the correct thermal cross-section, requiring a mediator exchanged in the $s$- or $t$-channel. These simplified models submit easily to direct detection and collider searches, and necessarily hide from indirect detection signals. Viable supersymmetric spectra involving the forbidden mechanism may be found if combined with co-annihilation.

description: We present an industrial end-user perspective on the current state of quantum computing hardware for one specific technological approach, the neutral atom platform. Our aim is to assist developers in understanding the impact of the specific properties of these devices on the effectiveness of algorithm execution. Based on discussions with different vendors and recent literature, we discuss the performance data of the neutral atom platform. Specifically, we focus on the physical qubit architecture, which affects state preparation, qubit-to-qubit connectivity, gate fidelities, native gate instruction set, and individual qubit stability. These factors determine both the quantum-part execution time and the end-to-end wall clock time relevant for end-users, but also the ability to perform fault-tolerant quantum computation in the future. We end with an overview of which applications have been shown to be well suited for the peculiar properties of neutral atom-based quantum computers.

description: We propose a vortex Chern insulator, motivated by recent experimental demonstrations on programmable arrangements of cavity polariton vortices by [Alyatkin et al., ArXiv:2207.01850 (2022)] and [Wang et al., National Sci. Rev. 10, Nwac096 (2022)]. In the absence of any external fields, time-reversal symmetry is spontaneously broken through polariton condensation into structured arrangements of localized co-rotating vortices. We characterize the response of the rotating condensate lattice by calculating the spectrum of Bogoliubov elementary excitations and observe the crossing of edge-states, of opposite vorticity, connecting bands with opposite Chern numbers. The emergent topologically nontrivial energy gap stems from inherent vortex anisotropic polariton-polariton interactions and does not require any spin-orbit coupling, external magnetic fields, or elliptically polarized pump fields.

The spectra in the $x=0.33$ sample are consistent with a homogenous commensurate antiferromagnetic phase below $T_N \sim 37$ K. The Knight shift exhibits an anomaly at the coherence temperature, $T^*$, that is slightly enhanced with P doping. Spin lattice relaxation rate data indicate that the density of states is suppressed for $x=0.09$ below 30 K, similar to the undoped compound, but there is no evidence of long range order at this concentration. Our results suggest that Si substitution provides chemical pressure without inducing electronic inhomogeneity.

description: Early data releases of JWST have revealed several high redshift massive galaxy candidates by photometry, and some of them have been confirmed spectroscopically. We study their implications on the primordial power spectrum. In the first part, we use the CEERS photometric survey data, along with respective spectroscopic updates, to compute the cumulative comoving stellar mass density. We find that a very high star formation efficiency (unlikely in various theoretical scenarios) is required to explain these observations within Lambda cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) cosmology. We show that the tension can be eased if the primordial power spectrum has a blue tilt. In the second part, we study spectroscopically confirmed galaxies reported in the JADES survey to investigate their implications on a red-tilted primordial power spectrum. We estimate the star formation efficiency from an earlier observation at similar redshift by {\it Spitzer}, and find that the star formation efficiency is an order of magnitude smaller than required to explain the CEERS photometric observations mentioned earlier. Using the estimated star formation efficiency, we find the strongest constraints on the red tilt of the power spectrum over some scales. Our study shows that JWST will be an excellent probe of the power spectrum and can lead to novel discoveries.

In order to optimize the properties for microelectronic applications, different deposition conditions were used. Ti (scavenger) and Pt (nonreactive) were e-beam evaporated to fabricate metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) devices. According to x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, policrystaline stoichiometric Gd2O3 films were obtained by HPS. MIS with the dielctric deposited at higher pressures also present lower flatband voltage shifts in the C-V hysteris curves.

description: Language identification describes the task of recognizing the language of written text in documents. This information is crucial because it can be used to support the analysis of a document's vocabulary and context. Supervised learning methods in recent years have advanced the task of language identification. However, these methods usually require large labeled datasets, which often need to be included for various domains of images, such as documents or scene images. In this work, we propose DocLangID, a transfer learning approach to identify the language of unlabeled historical documents. We achieve this by first leveraging labeled data from a different but related domain of historical documents. Secondly, we implement a distance-based few-shot learning approach to adapt a convolutional neural network to new languages of the unlabeled dataset. By introducing small amounts of manually labeled examples from the set of unlabeled images, our feature extractor develops a better adaptability towards new and different data distributions of historical documents. We show that such a model can be effectively fine-tuned for the unlabeled set of images by only reusing the same few-shot examples. We showcase our work across 10 languages that mostly use the Latin script. Our experiments on historical documents demonstrate that our combined approach improves the language identification performance, achieving 74% recognition accuracy on the four unseen languages of the unlabeled dataset.

description: In recent years, sentiment analysis has gained significant importance in natural language processing. However, most existing models and datasets for sentiment analysis are developed for high-resource languages, such as English and Chinese, leaving low-resource languages, particularly African languages, largely unexplored. The AfriSenti-SemEval 2023 Shared Task 12 aims to fill this gap by evaluating sentiment analysis models on low-resource African languages. In this paper, we present our solution to the shared task, where we employed different multilingual XLM-R models with classification head trained on various data, including those retrained in African dialects and fine-tuned on target languages. Our team achieved the third-best results in Subtask B, Track 16: Multilingual, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach. While our model showed relatively good results on multilingual data, it performed poorly in some languages. Our findings highlight the importance of developing more comprehensive datasets and models for low-resource African languages to advance sentiment analysis research. We also provided the solution on the github repository.

description: Clause sets saturated by hierarchic ordered resolution do not offer a model representation that can be effectively queried, in general. They only offer the guarantee of the existence of a model. We present an effective symbolic model construction for saturated constrained Horn clauses. Constraints are in linear arithmetic, the first-order part is restricted to a function-free language. The model is constructed in finite time, and non-ground clauses can be effectively evaluated with respect to the model. Furthermore, we prove that our model construction produces the least model.

description: AmorphousGd2O3 and Sc2O3 thin films were deposited on Si by high-pressure sputtering (HPS). In order to reduce the uncontrolled interfacial SiOx growth, firstly a metallic film of Gd or Sc was sputtered in pure Ar plasma. Subsequently, they were in situ plasma oxidized in an Ar/O2 atmosphere. For post-processing interfacial SiOx thickness reduction, three different top metal electrodes were studied: platinum, aluminum and titanium. For both dielectrics, it was found that Pt did not react with the films, while Al reacted with them forming an aluminate-like interface and, finally, Ti was effective in scavenging the SiO2 interface thickness without severely compromising gate dielectric leakage.

description: A pressure-induced phase transition, associated with an increase of the coordination number of In and Ta, is detected beyond 13 GPa in InTaO4 by combining synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Raman measurements in a diamond anvil cell with ab-initio calculations. High-pressure optical-absorption measurements were also carried out. The high-pressure phase has a monoclinic structure which shares the same space group with the low-pressure phase (P2/c). The structure of the high-pressure phase can be considered as a slight distortion of an orthorhombic structure described by space group Pcna. The phase transition occurs together with a unit-cell volume collapse and an electronic bandgap collapse observed by experiments and calculations. Additionally, a band crossing is found to occur in the low-pressure phase near 7 GPa. The pressure dependence of all the Raman-active modes is reported for both phases as well as the pressure dependence of unit-cell parameters and the equations of state. Calculations also provide information on IR-active phonons and bond distances. These findings provide insights into the effects of pressure on the physical properties of InTaO4.

Orientation effects on spectral emission features of quasars

description: We present an analysis of the orientation effects in SDSS quasar composite spectra. In a previous work we have shown that the equivalent width EW of the [OIII] λ5008Å line is a reliable indicator of the inclination of the accretion disk. Here, we have selected a sample of ~15,000 quasars from the SDSS 7th Data Release and divided it in sub-samples with different values of EW([OIII]). We find inclination effects both on broad and narrow quasars emission lines, among which an increasing broadening from low to high EW for the broad lines and a decreasing importance of the blue component for the narrow lines. These effects are naturally explained with a variation of source inclination from nearly face-on to edge-on, confirming the goodness of EW([OIII]) as an orientation indicator. Moreover, we suggest that orientation effects could explain, at least partially, the origin of the anticorrelation between [OIII] and FeII intensities, i.e. the well known Eigenvector 1.
