description: An archaeological survey was conducted from May 28 through June 1, 1986 at the Dateland Test Site on Luke Air Force Range. Eight archaeological sites and nine isolated finds were recorded as a result of this survey. The archaeological sites included three trails, two historic sites, and three prehistoric sites. None of these sites appear eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. Further, none of these sites should be affected by project activities; therefore, no mitigation of impacts, other than avoidance, is recommended at this time.

description: Time-bin entangled photons are ideal for long-distance quantum communication via optical fibers. Here we present a source where, even at high creation rates, each excitation pulse generates at most one time-bin entangled pair. This is important for the accuracy and security of quantum communication. Our site-controlled quantum dot generates single polarization-entangled photon pairs, which are then converted, without loss of entanglement strength, into single time-bin entangled photon pairs.

description: The ROC curve is the gold standard for measuring the performance of a test/scoring statistic regarding its capacity to discriminate between two statistical populations in a wide variety of applications, ranging from anomaly detection in signal processing to information retrieval, through medical diagnosis. Most practical performance measures used in scoring/ranking applications such as the AUC, the local AUC, the p-norm push, the DCG and others, can be viewed as summaries of the ROC curve. In this paper, the fact that most of these empirical criteria can be expressed as two-sample linear rank statistics is highlighted and concentration inequalities for collections of such random variables, referred to as two-sample rank processes here, are proved, when indexed by VC classes of scoring functions. Based on these nonasymptotic bounds, the generalization capacity of empirical maximizers of a wide class of ranking performance criteria is next investigated from a theoretical perspective. It is also supported by empirical evidence through convincing numerical experiments.
Comparative effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on blood pressure in patients with hypertension

Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2012

description: Abstract Background Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may disrupt control of blood pressure in hypertensive patients and increase their risk of morbidity, mortality, and the costs of care. The objective of this study was to examine the association between incident use of NSAIDs and blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult hypertensive patients to determine the effects of their first prescription for NSAID on systolic blood pressure and antihypertensive drug intensification. Data were collected from an electronic medical record serving an academic general medicine practice in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Using propensity scores to minimize bias, we matched a cohort of 1,340 users of NSAIDs with 1,340 users of acetaminophen. Propensity score models included covariates likely to affect blood pressure or the use of NSAIDs. The study outcomes were the mean systolic blood pressure measurement after starting NSAIDs and changes in antihypertensive therapy. Results Compared to patients using acetaminophen, NSAID users had a 2 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure (95% CI, 0.7 to 3.3). Ibuprofen was associated with a 3 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure compared to naproxen (95% CI, 0.5 to 4.6), and a 5 mmHg increase compared to celecoxib (95% CI, 0.4 to 10). The systolic blood pressure increase was 3 mmHg in a subgroup of patients concomitantly prescribed angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or calcium channel blockers and 6 mmHg among those prescribed a beta-adrenergic blocker. Blood pressure changes in patients prescribed diuretics or multiple antihypertensives were not statistically significant. Conclusion Compared to acetaminophen, incident use of NSAIDs, particularly ibuprofen, is associated with a small increase in systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Effects in patients prescribed diuretics or multiple antihypertensives are negligible.

description: We study extremal non-BPS black holes and strings arising in M-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds, obtained by wrapping M2 branes on non-holomorphic 2-cycles and M5 branes on non-holomorphic 4-cycles. Using the attractor mechanism we compute the black hole mass and black string tension, leading to a conjectural formula for the asymptotic volumes of connected, locally volume-minimizing representatives of non-holomorphic, even-dimensional homology classes in the threefold, without knowledge of an explicit metric. In the case of divisors we find examples where the volume of the representative corresponding to the black string is less than the volume of the minimal piecewise-holomorphic representative, predicting recombination for those homology classes and leading to stable, non-BPS strings. We also compute the central charges of non-BPS strings in F-theory via a near-horizon $AdS_3$ limit in 6d which, upon compactification on a circle, account for the asymptotic entropy of extremal non-supersymmetric 5d black holes (i.e., the asymptotic count of non-holomorphic minimal 2-cycles).

description: Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) promises natural compatibility with quantum error correcting codes at the cost of a polynomial increase in physical qubits. MBQC proposals have largely focused on photonic systems, where 2-qubit gates are difficult. Semiconductor spin qubits in quantum dots, on the other hand, offer fast 2-qubit gates via the exchange interaction. In exchange-based quantum computing, as with other solid-state qubits, leakage to higher states is a serious problem that must be mitigated. Here, two hybrid measurement-exchange schemes are proposed which quantify the benefits of MBQC on quantum dot-based quantum computing. Measurement of double quantum dot encoded qubits in the singlet-triplet basis, along with inter- and intra-qubit exchange interaction, are used to perform one and two qubit operations. Both schemes suppress individual qubit spin-state leakage errors, offer fast gate times, and require only controllable exchange couplings, up to known phase and Pauli corrections.

description: We propose a new conjecture on the relation between the species doubling of lattice fermions and the topology of manifold on which the fermion action is defined. Our conjecture claims that the maximal number of fermion species on a finite-volume and finite-spacing lattice defined by discretizing a $D$-dimensional manifold is equal to the summation of the Betti numbers of the manifold. We start with reconsidering species doubling of naive fermions on the lattices whose topologies are torus ($T^{D}$), hyperball ($B^D$) and their direct-product space ($T^{D} \times B^{d}$). We find that the maximal number of species is in exact agreement with the sum of Betti numbers $\sum^{D}_{r=0} β_{r}$ for these manifolds. Indeed, the $4D$ lattice fermion on torus has up to $16$ species while the sum of Betti numbers of $T^4$ is $16$. This coincidence holds also for the $D$-dimensional hyperball and their direct-product space $T^{D} \times B^{d}$. We study several examples of lattice fermions defined on discretized hypersphere ($S^{D}$), and find that it has up to $2$ species, which is the same number as the sum of Betti numbers of $S^{D}$. From these facts, we conjecture the equivalence of the maximal number of fermion species and the summation of Betti numbers. We discuss a program for proof of the conjecture in terms of Hodge theory and spectral graph theory.

description: Since the inception of Industry 4.0 in 2012, emerging technologies have enabled the acquisition of vast amounts of data from diverse sources such as machine tools, robust and affordable sensor systems with advanced information models, and other sources within Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS). As a result, the amount of data that is available in manufacturing settings has exploded, allowing data-hungry tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to be leveraged. Time-series analytics has been successfully applied in a variety of industries, and that success is now being migrated to pattern recognition applications in manufacturing to support higher quality products, zero defect manufacturing, and improved customer satisfaction. However, the diverse landscape of manufacturing presents a challenge for successfully solving problems in industry using time-series pattern recognition. The resulting research gap of understanding and applying the subject matter of time-series pattern recognition in manufacturing is a major limiting factor for adoption in industry. The purpose of this paper is to provide a structured perspective of the current state of time-series pattern recognition in manufacturing with a problem-solving focus. By using an ontology to classify and define concepts, how they are structured, their properties, the relationships between them, and considerations when applying them, this paper aims to provide practical and actionable guidelines for application and recommendations for advancing time-series analytics.

description: We introduce Continual 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (Co3D CNNs), a new computational formulation of spatio-temporal 3D CNNs, in which videos are processed frame-by-frame rather than by clip. In online tasks demanding frame-wise predictions, Co3D CNNs dispense with the computational redundancies of regular 3D CNNs, namely the repeated convolutions over frames, which appear in overlapping clips. We show that Continual 3D CNNs can reuse preexisting 3D-CNN weights to reduce the per-prediction floating point operations (FLOPs) in proportion to the temporal receptive field while retaining similar memory requirements and accuracy. This is validated with multiple models on Kinetics-400 and Charades with remarkable results: CoX3D models attain state-of-the-art complexity/accuracy trade-offs on Kinetics-400 with 12.1-15.3x reductions of FLOPs and 2.3-3.8% improvements in accuracy compared to regular X3D models while reducing peak memory consumption by up to 48%. Moreover, we investigate the transient response of Co3D CNNs at start-up and perform extensive benchmarks of on-hardware processing characteristics for publicly available 3D CNNs.

description: Many of the Kepler close binaries are suggested to constitute hierarchical triple systems through their eclipse timing variations (ETVs). Eclipses by the third body in those systems, if observed, provide precise constraints on its physical and orbital properties, which are otherwise difficult to obtain. In this Letter, we analyze such a "tertiary event" observed only once in the KIC 6543674 system. The system consists of a short-period ($2.4\,\mathrm{days}$) inner eclipsing binary and a third body on a wide ($1100\,\mathrm{days}$) and eccentric ($e\simeq0.6$) orbit. Analysis of three tertiary eclipses around a single inferior conjunction of the third body yields the mutual inclination between the inner and outer binary planes to be $3.3^\circ\pm0.6^\circ$, indicating an extremely flat geometry. Furthermore, combining the timings and shapes of the tertiary eclipses with the phase curve and ETVs of the inner binary, we determine the mass and radius ratios of all three bodies in the system using the Kepler photometry alone. With the primary mass and temperature from the Kepler Input Catalog, the absolute masses, radii, and effective temperatures of the three stars are obtained as follows: $M_\mathrm{A}=1.2\pm0.3\,M_\odot$, $R_\mathrm{A}=1.8\pm0.1\,R_\odot$, $M_\mathrm{B}=1.1_{-0.2}^{+0.3}\,M_\odot$, $R_\mathrm{B}=1.4\pm0.1\,R_\odot$, $M_\mathrm{C}=0.50_{-0.08}^{+0.07}\,M_\odot$, $R_\mathrm{C}=0.50\pm0.04\,R_\odot$, $T_\mathrm{A} \simeq T_\mathrm{B}\simeq 6100\,\mathrm{K}$, and $T_\mathrm{C}<5000\,\mathrm{K}$. Implication for the formation scenario of close binaries is briefly discussed.

description: Despite the ubiquity of U-statistics in modern Probability and Statistics, their non-asymptotic analysis in a dependent framework may have been overlooked. In a recent work, a new concentration inequality for U-statistics of order two for uniformly ergodic Markov chains has been proved. In this paper, we put this theoretical breakthrough into action by pushing further the current state of knowledge in three different active fields of research. First, we establish a new exponential inequality for the estimation of spectra of trace class integral operators with MCMC methods. The novelty is that this result holds for kernels with positive and negative eigenvalues, which is new as far as we know. In addition, we investigate generalization performance of online algorithms working with pairwise loss functions and Markov chain samples. We provide an online-to-batch conversion result by showing how we can extract a low risk hypothesis from the sequence of hypotheses generated by any online learner. We finally give a non-asymptotic analysis of a goodness-of-fit test on the density of the invariant measure of a Markov chain. We identify some classes of alternatives over which our test based on the $L_2$ distance has a prescribed power.

Recruitment and retention of women in a large randomized control trial to reduce repeat preterm births: the Philadelphia Collaborative Preterm Prevention Project
Creators: name: Hogan, Vijaya
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2010

description: Abstract Background Recruitment and retention of patients for randomized control trial (RCT) studies can provide formidable challenges, particularly with minority and underserved populations. Data are reported for the Philadelphia Collaborative Preterm Prevention Project (PCPPP), a large RCT targeting risk factors for repeat preterm births among women who previously delivered premature (< 35 weeks gestation) infants. Methods Design of the PCPPP incorporated strategies to maximize recruitment and retention. These included an advanced database system tracking follow-up status and assessment completion rates; cultural sensitivity training for staff; communication to the community and eligible women of the benefits of participation; financial incentives; assistance with transportation and supervised childcare services; and reminder calls for convenient, flexibly scheduled appointments. Analyses reported here: 1) compare recruitment projections to actual enrollment 2) explore recruitment bias; 3) validate the randomization process 4) document the extent to which contact was maintained and complete assessments achieved 5) determine if follow-up was conditioned upon socio-economic status, race/ethnicity, or other factors. Results Of eligible women approached, 1,126 (77.7%) agreed to participate fully. Of the 324 not agreeing, 118 (36.4%) completed a short survey. Consenting women were disproportionately from minority and low SES backgrounds: 71.5% consenting were African American, versus 38.8% not consenting. Consenting women were also more likely to report homelessness during their lifetime (14.6% vs. 0.87%) and to be unmarried at the time of delivery (81.6% versus 47.9%). First one-month postpartum assessment was completed for 83.5% (n = 472) of the intervention group (n = 565) and 76% (426) of the control group. Higher assessment completion rates were observed for the intervention group throughout the follow-up. Second, third, fourth and fifth postpartum assessments were 67.6% vs. 57.5%, 60.0% vs. 48.9%, 54.2% vs. 46.3% and 47.3% vs. 40.8%, for the intervention and control group women, respectively. There were no differences in follow-up rates according to race/ethnicity, SES or other factors. Greater retention of the intervention group may reflect the highly-valued nature of the medical and behavior services constituting the intervention arms of the Project. Conclusion Findings challenge beliefs that low income and minority women are averse to enrolling and continuing in clinical trials or community studies.

description: We report on the experimental observation of stochastic resonance (SR) in a nonGaussian active bath without any periodic modulation. A Brownian particle hopping in a nanoscale double-well potential under the influence of nonGaussian correlated noise, with mean interval ${{τ}_{P}}$ and correlation time ${{τ}_{c}}$, shows a series of equally-spaced peaks in the residence time distribution at integral multiples of ${{τ}_{P}}$. The strength of the first peak is found to be maximum when the mean residence time ${\bar{τ}_{d}}$ matches the double condition, $4{{τ}_{c}}\approx {{τ}_{P}}\approx {\bar{τ}_{d}}\text{/}2$, demonstrating a new type of bona fide SR. The experimental findings agree with a simple model that explains the emergence of SR without periodic modulation of the double-well potential. Additionally, we show that generic SR under periodic modulation, known to degrade in strongly correlated continuous noise, is recovered by the discrete nonGaussian kicks.

description: Paper presented at both the Society for California Archaeology and the Vernal Pool Society in 1981 on the archaeological investigations within Placer County on vernal pools conducted as part of an environmental impact assessment by Archaeological Resource Service. The two separate parcels totaling 1550 acres, located between the towns of Roseville and Lincoln in Southern Placer County, California. A total of 25 cultural resources were identified within the two parcels. Isolated finds of prehistoric tools constituted two out of eight areas in the southern parcel, while 2 isolated finds made in the northern parcel. Artifacts include metates, hammerstones, pestles of the "wooden mortar type," manos, and chipped stone cutting tools.

description: Liquid-liquid phase separation is emerging as a crucial phenomenon in several fundamental cell processes. A range of eukaryotic systems exhibit liquid condensates. However, their function in bacteria, which in general lack membrane-bound compartments, remains less clear. Here, we used high-resolution optical microscopy to observe single bacterial aggresomes, nanostructured intracellular assemblies of proteins, to undercover their role in cell stress. We find that proteins inside aggresomes are mobile and undergo dynamic turnover, consistent with a liquid state. Our observations are in quantitative agreement with phase-separated liquid droplet formation driven by interacting proteins under thermal equilibrium that nucleate following diffusive collisions in the cytoplasm. We have discovered aggresomes in multiple species of bacteria, and show that these emergent, metastable liquid-structured protein assemblies increase bacterial fitness by enabling cells to tolerate environmental stresses.

description: Citizen science is gaining popularity as a valuable tool for labelling large collections of astronomical images by the general public. This is often achieved at the cost of poorer quality classifications made by amateur participants, which are usually verified by employing smaller data sets labelled by professional astronomers. Despite its success, citizen science alone will not be able to handle the classification of current and upcoming surveys. To alleviate this issue, citizen science projects have been coupled with machine learning techniques in pursuit of a more robust automated classification. However, existing approaches have neglected the fact that, apart from the data labelled by amateurs, (limited) expert knowledge of the problem is also available along with vast amounts of unlabelled data that have not yet been exploited within a unified learning framework. This paper presents an innovative learning methodology for citizen science capable of taking advantage of expert- and amateur-labelled data, featuring a transfer of labels between experts and amateurs. The proposed approach first learns from unlabelled data with a convolutional autoencoder and then exploits amateur and expert labels via the pre-training and fine-tuning of a convolutional neural network, respectively. We focus on the classification of galaxy images from the Galaxy Zoo project, from which we test binary, multi-class, and imbalanced classification scenarios. The results demonstrate that our solution is able to improve classification performance compared to a set of baseline approaches, deploying a promising methodology for learning from different confidence levels in data labelling.

Non-universal weak antilocalization effect in cubic topological Kondo insulators

description: We study the quantum correction to conductivity on the surface of cubic topological Kondo insulators with multiple Dirac bands. We consider the model of time-reversal invariant disorder which induces the scattering of the electrons within the Dirac bands as well as between the bands. When only intraband scattering is present we find three long-range diffusion modes which lead to weak antilocalization correction to conductivity, which remains independent of the microscopic details such as Fermi velocities and relaxation times. Interband scattering gaps out two diffusion modes leaving only one long-range mode. We find that depending on the value of the phase coherence time, either three or only one long-range diffusion modes contribute to weak localization correction rendering the quantum correction to conductivity non-universal. We provide an interpretation for the results of the recent transport experiments on samarium hexaboride where weak antilocalization has been observed.

description: The Yakutsk Extensive Air Shower Array has been continuously operating for more than 50 years (since 1970) and up until recently it has been one of world's largest ground-based instruments aimed at studying the properties of cosmic rays in the ultra-high energy domain. In this report we discuss results recently obtained at the array - on cosmic rays energy spectrum, mass composition and directional anisotropy - and how they fit into the world data. Special attention is paid to the measurements of muonic component of extensive air showers. Theoretical results of particle acceleration at shocks are also briefly reviewed. Future scientific and engineering plans on the array modernization are discussed.

description: Lie algebra involutions and their fixed-point subalgebras give rise to symmetric spaces and real forms of complex Lie algebras, and are well-studied in the context of symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. In this paper we study a generalization. Namely, we introduce the concept of a pseudo-involution, an automorphism which is only required to act involutively on a stable Cartan subalgebra, and the concept of a pseudo-fixed-point subalgebra, a natural substitute for the fixed-point subalgebra. In the symmetrizable Kac-Moody setting, we give a comprehensive discussion of pseudo-involutions of the second kind, the associated pseudo-fixed-point subalgebras, restricted root systems and Weyl groups, in terms of generalizations of Satake diagrams.

Three-Dimensional Image and Video Processing
Creators: name: Pollefeys, Marc
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2009

description: Three-dimensional (3D) TV is expected to be the next revolution
in the history of television. It has only recently become
feasible to deal with the high processing and bandwidth
requirements for real-time acquisition, transmission, and
display of high-resolution 3D TV content.
Moreover, capturing 3D scenery by using images and
videos taken from different view points is now widely used
both in film production for making a seamless fusion of
real and virtual scenes and also in industrial applications for
quality inspections and goods handling. Also in surveillance
applications, the integration of data coming from different
cameras are often used to extract 3D information on the
imaged scenes/objects/persons.
Although the technical requirements are more and more
fulfilled for a commercial success, there is still a need of
sophisticated algorithms to handle 3D image information.
The amount of data is extremely high, requiring efficient
techniques for coding, transmission, and processing. Similarly,
the estimation of 3D geometry and other metadata
from multiple views, the augmentation of real and synthetic
scene content, and the estimation of 3D object or face/body
motion has been addressed mainly for restricted scenarios
but often lack robustness in a general environment.

description: Salient object detection is the pixel-level dense prediction task which can highlight the prominent object in the scene. Recently U-Net framework is widely used, and continuous convolution and pooling operations generate multi-level features which are complementary with each other. In view of the more contribution of high-level features for the performance, we propose a triplet transformer embedding module to enhance them by learning long-range dependencies across layers. It is the first to use three transformer encoders with shared weights to enhance multi-level features. By further designing scale adjustment module to process the input, devising three-stream decoder to process the output and attaching depth features to color features for the multi-modal fusion, the proposed triplet transformer embedding network (TriTransNet) achieves the state-of-the-art performance in RGB-D salient object detection, and pushes the performance to a new level. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modules and the competition of TriTransNet.
