Tennyson's Progressive Geology
Creators: name: Snyder (University Of Sheffield), E. E.
Publisher: name: Victorian Network
Year: 2010

description: In Tennyson's poem In Memoriam“, geology provides one potential means to make sense of the experience of grief, by supposing a divine meaning inherent in the physical world that can be discovered through human knowledge. However, Lyell's non-progressive hypothesis challenges this interpretation. Extinction supports natural theological arguments that find seeking traces of God's divine plan within the world problematic, particularly when used for individual comfort in the face of loss. Where grief is concerned the theory of progressive development also requires dramatic alteration. Whilst there is the promise of transcendence, this requires the death of the known and beloved human, and the potential loss of the individual soul in a general self. The sacred dust of the body becomes merely mechanical, employed in creating continents by the action of laws with no divine guidance, and geology proves incapable of speaking to spiritual purpose. Tennyson's poem separates spirit from the world, positing that, while God directs geological change, it is impossible for humanity to understand his plan through the study of geology. It reaches this conclusion through a reconsecration of the world, seeing the beloved soul as extant in geological time and possessing the ability to take physical action by virtue of its spiritual power. This change is animated by Hallam's transformed but individual spirit and progressive development once again becomes a mechanism for understanding change within the world. Tennyson affirms the primacy of the spiritual, through continued use of geological language to show God's presence in the world. Resolution of the role of human knowledge and its ability to understand God's plan through study of Nature is deferred, the province of the "crowning race".

description: An application's performance regressions can be detected by both application or microbenchmarks. While application benchmarks stress the system under test by sending synthetic but realistic requests which, e.g., simulate real user traffic, microbenchmarks evaluate the performance on a subroutine level by calling the function under test repeatedly. In this paper, we use a testbed microservice application which includes three performance issues to study the detection capabilities of both approaches. In extensive benchmarking experiments, we increase the severity of each performance issue stepwise, run both an application benchmark and the microbenchmark suite, and check at which point each benchmark detects the performance issue. Our results show that microbenchmarks detect all three issues earlier, some even at the lowest severity level. Application benchmarks, however, raised false positive alarms, wrongly detected performance improvements, and detected the performance issues later.

description: With the rapid growth of the Internet and overwhelming amount of information and choices that people are confronted with, recommender systems have been developed to effectively support users' decision-making process in the online systems. However, many recommendation algorithms suffer from the data sparsity problem, i.e. the user-object bipartite networks are so sparse that algorithms cannot accurately recommend objects for users. This data sparsity problem makes many well-known recommendation algorithms perform poorly. To solve the problem, we propose a recommendation algorithm based on the semi-local diffusion process on a user-object bipartite network. The numerical simulation on two sparse datasets, Amazon and Bookcross, show that our method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods especially for those small-degree users. Two personalized semi-local diffusion methods are proposed which further improve the recommendation accuracy. Finally, our work indicates that sparse online systems are essentially different from the dense online systems, all the algorithms and conclusions based on dense data should be rechecked again in sparse data.

The 'Emerson Museum' and the Darwin Exhibit: Observation, Classification and Display in the Early Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Charles Darwin
Creators: name: Klein (The Graduate Center, City University Of New York), Lauren F.
Publisher: name: Victorian Network
Year: 2010

description: This article builds on the work of Lee Rust Brown, whose Emerson Museum“ (Harvard UP, 1997) established the museum as a model through which Ralph Waldo Emerson's writings could be approached and explained. Taking into account both nineteenth-century curatorial practices and present-day museum theory, I expand Brown's model to include the specific curatorial practices of observation, classification, and display. I show how Emerson and his British contemporary, Charles Darwin, drew upon these practices in their thoughts and in their writings. I demonstrate how both men employed the techniques of observation and classification as their primary means of analysis, and how, in recording their results, they followed similar paths of displayâ€”private thought to printed notebook, printed notebook to published page. While most critics place Emerson and Darwin on opposite sides of a humanistic/scientific divide, I contend that the Emersonian and Darwinian conceptions of the natural world converge in their mutual understanding of that world as fluid and evolving, not static and fixed, and in their attention to the fundamental relationships between organisms and their environments. While Emerson and Darwin, undeniably, reached different conclusions, my article shows how their shared methodological approach, deeply influenced by contemporaneous ideas about museum display, results, in both cases, in a narrative that links natural order and language. I argue that the works of Emerson and Darwin can each be understood in terms of a process of translation between nature and language, one in which hidden relations are revealed over time. I also bring to light Darwin's ambivalence about the museum as a method of conveying information and ideas to the public. By contrasting Darwin's concerns about the limitations of museum display with Emerson's wholehearted embrace of the curatorial practices of the time, I show how Darwin arrives at his decision to describe the process of evolution by natural selection in the form of a book. I conclude that only with the underlying concept of the museum in his mind, and with an awareness of its limits, was Darwin able to embrace language as the tool that would allow him to fill in the gaps between his own observation and classification of the natural world and the resultant display of his evolutionary theory.

description: This paper describes the technology of data warehouse in healthcare decision-making and tools for support of these technologies, which is used to cancer diseases. The healthcare executive managers and doctors needs information about and insight into the existing health data, so as to make decision more efficiently without interrupting the daily work of an On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) system. This is a complex problem during the healthcare decision-making process. To solve this problem, the building a healthcare data warehouse seems to be efficient. First in this paper we explain the concepts of the data warehouse, On-Line Analysis Processing (OLAP). Changing the data in the data warehouse into a multidimensional data cube is then shown. Finally, an application example is given to illustrate the use of the healthcare data warehouse specific to cancer diseases developed in this study. The executive managers and doctors can view data from more than one perspective with reduced query time, thus making decisions faster and more comprehensive.

Georgiana Molloy, Jane Porter and the Significance of Exploration Narratives for New Beginnings in a Strange Land
Creators: name: Beasley (University Of Western Australia), Peta
Publisher: name: Victorian Network
Year: 2009

description: Sir Edward Seaward's Narrative“, first published in 1831, was an instant success: the London Quarterly Review“ acknowledged that it had gone into its second edition within twelve months. Edited by Jane Porter, Sir Edward Seaward's Narrative “follows the model of other exploration narratives, but diverges from the formulae in its focus on ‘homespun achievements' and ‘conjugal bliss and domestic contentment' rather than mutiny and massacre. (William Lines, An All Consuming Passion “(New South Wales: Allen & Unwin, 1994), p. 189.) Georgiana Molloy arrived in the Swan River colony in 1830, settling in the remote south-west of Western Australia. With no home comforts Georgiana had to adapt to the many hardships of colonial life in this unfamiliar land. Despite her time being mostly absorbed in the daily grind, she was determined to find time to read. In 1834 Georgiana wrote in a letter to her best friend in England that she was reading Sir Edward Seaward's Narrative“. This was the first work of fiction that Georgiana had read since arriving in the colony, and yet this novel, I propose, was the motivation for her finding purpose and passion in her harsh surroundings. This paper will explore how Sir Edward Seaward's Narrative, “with its focus on ‘homespun achievements', mutual support, companionship and adherence to the Sabbath, became for Georgiana the foundation of beginnings in the challenging and harsh environment in which she found herself.

Aristocracy for the Common People: Chinese Commodities In Oscar Wilde’s Aestheticism
Creators: name: Chen (Royal Holloway, University Of London), Qi
Publisher: name: Victorian Network
Year: 2009

description: Oscar Wilde, who has international cultural influence, is a product of globalisation of the British Empire in the late nineteenth century. To gain an adequate understanding of this controversial writer, it is worthwhile exploring clearly the cultural resources that contributed to his aesthetic system. Most studies of Wilde have largely ignored his oriental influences. This essay focuses on Wilde's writings on Chinese commodities and demonstrates how these writings helped Wilde to formulate a consumerist aestheticism free from class distinction. Firstly, this essay briefly reviews the history of Chinese goods in Britain and highlights the changes in social conditions during the Aesthetic Movement. Secondly, through reading Wilde's writings on Chinese commodities, this essay discusses the relationship between Wilde and Chinese goods and the role of Chinese applied arts in his establishment of consumerist aestheticism for the Victorian public. Thirdly, this essay situates Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray“ in the context of late-Victorian imperial culture, to draw attention to the binary oppositions in Wilde's aestheticism, and the dilemma of keeping the distinctive identity of the aesthetes amidst the democratisation of beauty. Dorian's collection serves both to recognise and resist the temptations of commodity fetishism. Dorian's endless search for sensations leads him to abuse Chinese opium, which parallels the destined fate of the decadent aesthetes and the correspondingly over-expanded imperial culture.

Provided are 2 statistical models one representing the inclusive fit stored in 'likelihood_ttbar_ljets_13TeV_inclusive.json' file and the second one representing the fiducial fit stored in 'likelihood_ttbar_ljets_13TeV_fiducial.json' file
description: The $t\bar{t}$ production cross-section is measured in the lepton+jets channel using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. Events with exactly one charged lepton and four or more jets in the final state, with at least one jet containing $b$-hadrons, are used to determine the $t\bar{t}$ production cross-section through a profile-likelihood fit. The inclusive cross-section is measured to be ${\sigma_{\text{inc}} = 830 \pm 0.4 \text{(stat.)} \pm 36 \text{(syst.)}\pm 14 \text{(lumi.)} \mathrm{pb}}$ with a relative uncertainty of 4.6 %. The result is consistent with theoretical calculations at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD.

description: Today, Voice over Wireless Local Area Network (VOWLAN) is the most accepted Internet application. There are a large number of literatures regarding the performance of various WLAN networks. Most of them focus on simulations and modeling, but there are also some experiments with real networks. This paper explains the comparison of performance of two different VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) applications over the same IEEE 802.11a wireless network. Radio link standard 802.11a have maximum transmission rate of 54Mbps. First protocol is session initiation protocol (SIP) and second is H.323 protocol. First one has an agent called SIP proxy. Second have a gateway reflects the characteristics of a Switched Circuit Network (SCN). With this comparison we have required to obtain a better understanding of wireless network suitability for voice communication in IP network.

Inoculation and Empire: Cigarette's healing power in Ouida's Under Two Flags“
Creators: name: Addcox (University Of Florida), J. Stephen
Publisher: name: Victorian Network
Year: 2009

description: As the popular literature of the nineteenth century receives more attention from scholars, Ouida's novels have grown more appealing to those interested in exploring the many forms of the Victorian popular novel. Under Two Flags“ is perhaps her most well-known work, and this fame stems in part from the character of Cigarette, who fights like a man while also maintaining her status as a highly desirable woman in French colonial Africa. Whilst several scholars have argued that Ouida essentially undermines Cigarette as a feminine and feminist character, I argue that it is possible to read Cigarette as a highly positive element in the novel. This is demonstrated in the ways that Cigarette's actions are based on a very feminine understanding of medicine, as Ouida draws on contemporary and historical developments in medicinal technology to develop a metaphorical status for Cigarette as a central figure of healing. Specifically, we see that Cigarette takes on the form of an inoculation for the male protagonist's (Bertie Cecil) downfall. In this way, I hope to offer a view of Ouida's text that does not read her famous character as merely an "almost-but-not-quite" experiment.

Spectral Economies at the Anglo-African Margin: Bertram Mitford’s Predatory Politics of Consumption
Creators: name: Ford (University Of Liverpool), Jane
Publisher: name: Victorian Network
Year: 2009

description: This article examines the work of critically neglected colonial writer, essayist and cultural critic Bertram Mitford, with particular reference to his novel The Sign of the Spider“ (1896). Taking an economic approach to fin de sià¨cle“ imperial politics, I argue that Mitford offers an important yet sadly overlooked counter-narrative of imperial expansionism. To an extent, Mitford undermines figures like H. Rider Haggard whose narratives betray a particular insensitivity to the depredatory conditions of Empire. Exploring Derridean formulations of Hauntology, I suggest that Mitford’s success lies partly in his ‘spectralisation’ of fiscal realities. The narrative, featuring apparitions of erstwhile economies, allows for a dialogue between past and present that problematizes Britain’s position in global markets at the fin de sià¨cle“. I further illustrate that Mitford’s depictions of anthropophagy offer a scathing cultural critique of late nineteenth-century imperial enterprise. From the indigenous tribes in an evolutionary state of economic nature to the merchant or financier at the end point of our financial evolution, ‘economic man’ shares a primal, archetypal desire to consume. In conclusion, I suggest Mitford attempted both to destabilise the popular myth of Britain’s ‘beneficent’ patronage of occupied South Africa, and bravely to undertake the work of inheriting the legacy of Britain’s predatory economic past.

description: Quark condensate and pseudoscalar decay constant in the chiral limit are the principal order parameters of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. Yet their three flavor values are still only weakly constrained by analyses using experimental data. We try to obtain such constraints by statistical methods from the decay width of the eta to pi+pi-pi0 decay in the framework of resummed chiral perturbation theory. We rely on recent estimates of the isospin violating parameter R, which is proportional to the difference of the u and d quark masses. Alternatively, we relax the assumption and try to extract information on R as well.

The Performance of Privacy: Dandyism in W.M. Thackeray's Pendennis
Creators: name: Crossley (University Of Leeds), Alice
Publisher: name: Victorian Network
Year: 2011

description: This article draws on Thackeray's appropriation of the apparatus of theatrical culture in order to examine the complex negotiation of public performance and private life engendered by the practices of dandyism in the period. In Pendennis“, the figure of the dandy appears inherently artificial in its reliance upon spectacle and display, yet it also enables self-creation and the maintenance of privacy. Different types of the dandy are isolated in the novel as forms of masculine performance to be variously emulated or rejected in the formation of individual identity. While Thackeray is often considered to be sceptical of dandyism, his sustained employment of dandiacal personas in this novel suggests that his view of such performative practices was more ambivalent. Costume here offers the allure of display to both fictional characters and actual readers, while retaining a potentially impenetrable barrier between self and society. In a society that seems at once to foster a culture of surveillance and spectacle, and to retreat from such theatrical practice as inauthentic and artificial, such close attention to dress may be considered as simultaneously suspiciously vulgar or effeminate, and cautious or protective. In the novel examined here, Thackeray charts the development of his hero with an emphasis on the role of costume in the experience of masculine identity. In doing so, this article suggests, the text engages in an exploration of performance as privacy.

description: Exploring planetary systems similar to our solar system can provide a means to explore a large range of possibly temperate climates on Earth-like worlds. Rather than run hundreds of simulations with different eccentricities at fixed obliquities, our variable-eccentricity approach provides a means to cover an incredibly large parameter space. Herein Jupiter's orbital radius is moved substantially inward in two different scenarios, causing a forcing on Earth's eccentricity. In one case, the eccentricity of Earth varies from 0 to 0.27 over ~7000 yr for three different fixed obliquities (0°, 23°, and 45°). In another case, the eccentricity varies from 0 to 0.53 over ~9400 yr in a single case with zero obliquity. In all cases, we find that the climate remains stable, but regional habitability changes through time in unique ways. At the same time, the moist greenhouse state is approached but only when at the highest eccentricities.

Crystallographic reconstruction study of the effects of finish rolling temperature on the variant selection during bainite transformation in C-Mn high-strength steels

description: The effect of finish rolling temperature (FRT) on the austenite- () to-bainite () phase transformation is quantitatively investigated in high-strength C-Mn steels. In particular, the present study aims to clarify the respective contributions of the conditioning during the hot rolling and the variant selection (VS) during the phase transformation to the inherited texture. To this end, an alternative crystallographic reconstruction procedure, which can be directly applied to experimental electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mappings, is developed by combining the best features of the existing models: the orientation relationship (OR) refinement, the local pixel-by-pixel analysis and the nuclei identification and spreading strategy. The applicability of this method is demonstrated on both quenching and partitioning (Q&P) and as-quenched lath-martensite steels. The results obtained on the C-Mn steels confirm that the sample finish rolled at the lowest temperature (829°C) exhibits the sharpest transformation texture. It is shown that this sharp texture is exclusively due to a strong VS from parent brass {110}<1-12>, S {213} and Goss {110}<001> grains, whereas the VS from the copper {112} grains is insensitive to the FRT. In addition, a statistical VS analysis proves that the habit planes of the selected variants do not systematically correspond to the predicted active slip planes using the Taylor model. In contrast, a correlation between the Bain group to which the selected variants belong and the FRT is clearly revealed, regardless of the parent orientation. These results are discussed in terms of polygranular accommodation mechanisms, especially in view of the observed development in the hot-rolled samples of high-angle grain boundaries with misorientation axes between <111> and <110> .

description: Recent thermophoretic experiments on colloidal suspensions revived an old debate, namely whether the Soret effect is properly described by thermostatics, or necessarily requires non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Based on colloidal transport theory and the entropy production of the related viscous flow, our analysis leads to the conclusion that the equilibrium approach may work for small ions, yet fails for colloidal particles and polymers. Regarding binary molecular mixtures, our results shed some doubt on the validity of thermostatic approaches that derive the Soret coefficient from equilibrium potentials.

description: The assembling of twisted stacks of van der Waals (vdW) materials had led to the discovery of a profusion of remarkable physical phenomena in recent years, as it provides a means to accurately control and harness electronic band structures. This has given birth to the so-called field of twistronics. An analogous concept has been developed for highly confined polaritons, or nanolight, in twisted bilayers of strongly anisotropic vdW materials, extending the field to the twistoptics realm. In this case, the emergence of a topological transition of the polaritonic dispersion at a given twist angle (photonic magic angle) results in the propagation of nanolight along one specific direction (canalization regime), holding promises for unprecedented control of the flow of energy at the nanoscale. However, there is a fundamental limitation in twistoptics that critically impedes such control: there is only one photonic magic angle (and thus canalization direction) in a twisted bilayer and it is fixed for each incident frequency. Here, we overcome this limitation by demonstrating the existence of multiple spectrally robust photonic magic angles in reconfigurable twisted vdW trilayers. As a result, we show that canalization of nanolight can be programmed at will along any desired in-plane direction in a single device, and, importantly, within broad spectral ranges of up to 70 cm-1. Our findings lay the foundation for robust and widely tunable twistoptics, opening the door for applications in nanophotonics where on-demand control of energy at the nanoscale is crucial, such as thermal management, nanoimaging or entanglement of quantum emitters.

description: Despite recent reductions in HIV incidence in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, incidence still remains at unacceptably high levels [1]. Effective control of the epidemic requires more intensive prevention efforts. Two important approaches to address this goal are “combination prevention” [2], in which a number of partially effective interventions are combined to achieve a substantial reduction in HIV incidence, and “treatment-as-prevention” (TasP), offering antiretroviral therapy (ART) to all HIV-infected adults irrespective of CD4+ T-cell count to prevent onward transmission of HIV [3]. In June 2014, Till Bärnighausen and colleagues [13] presented their views on the implications of the 2013 change in WHO ART guidelines for the TasP studies. Their main conclusions were that as WHO guidelines are implemented [14], it will become unethical to continue the trials because the new guidelines cannot be withheld in control communities; that if the new guidelines are adopted in the control communities, the trials will no longer be adequately powered; and that alternative approaches such as pooling of data or adoption of stepped-wedge study designs should be considered. We believe that the article by Bärnighausen and colleagues contains a number of inaccurate statements that compromise their conclusions. We discuss these issues in relation to the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial that our study team is carrying out in 21 communities in Zambia and South Africa to measure the impact of a combination prevention package, including universal HIV testing and treatment, on population-level HIV incidence [10].

description: This paper reports on a study in which a novel virtual moving sound-based spatial auditory brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigm is developed. Classic auditory BCIs rely on spatially static stimuli, which are often boring and difficult to perceive when subjects have non-uniform spatial hearing perception characteristics. The concept of moving sound proposed and tested in the paper allows for the creation of a P300 oddball paradigm of necessary target and non-target auditory stimuli, which are more interesting and easier to distinguish. We present a report of our study of seven healthy subjects, which proves the concept of moving sound stimuli usability for a novel BCI. We compare online BCI classification results in static and moving sound paradigms yielding similar accuracy results. The subject preference reports suggest that the proposed moving sound protocol is more comfortable and easier to discriminate with the online BCI.

description: The upper critical field of multi-band superconductors can be an essential quantity to unravel the nature of superconducting pairing and its interplay with the electronic structure. Here we experimentally map out the complete upper critical field phase diagram of FeSe for different magnetic field orientations at temperatures down to 0.3 K using both resistivity and torque measurements. The temperature dependence of the upper critical field reflects that of a multi-band superconductor and requires a two-band description in the clean limit with band coupling parameters favouring interband over intraband interactions. Despite the relatively small Maki parameter in FeSe of $α\sim 1.6$, the multi-band description of the upper critical field is consistent with the stabilization of a FFLO state below $T/T_{\rm c}\sim 0.3$. We find that the anomalous behaviour of the upper critical field is linked to a departure from the single-band picture, and FeSe provides a clear example where multi-band effects and the strong anisotropy of the superconducting gap need to be taken into account.

description: The development of the network of ontologies of the ERC POSTDATA Project brought to light some deficiencies in terms of completeness in the existing corpora. To tackle the issue in the realm of the Spanish poetic tradition, our approach consisted in designing a set of tools that any scholar could use to automatically enrich the analysis of Spanish poetry. The effort crystallized in the PoetryLab, an extensible open-source toolkit for syllabification, scansion, enjambment detection, rhyme detection, and historical named entity recognition for Spanish poetry. We designed the system to be interoperable, compliant with the project ontologies, easy to use by tech-savvy and non-expert researchers, and requiring minimal maintenance and setup. Furthermore, we propose the integration of the PoetryLab as a core functionality in the tool catalog of CLARIN for Spanish poetry.

description: We investigate the complex behavior of energy- and frequency-dependent time/phase lags in the plateau state and the radio-quiet hard state of GRS 1915+105. In our timing analysis, we find that when the source is faint in the radio, QPOs are observed above 2 Hz and typically exhibit soft lags (soft photons lag hard photons), whereas QPOs in the radio-bright plateau state are found below 2.2 Hz and consistently show hard lags. The phase lag at the QPO frequency is strongly anti-correlated with the QPO frequency, changing sign at 2.2 Hz. However, the phase lag at the frequency of the first harmonic is positive and nearly independent of frequency at at ~0.172 rad, regardless of the radio emission. The lag-energy dependence at the first harmonic is also independent of radio flux. However, the lags at the QPO frequency are negative at all energies during the radio-quiet state, but lags at the QPO frequency during the plateau state are positive at all energies and show a 'reflection-type' evolution of the lag-energy spectra with respect to the radio-quiet state. The lag-energy dependence is roughly logarithmic, but there is some evidence for a break around 4-6 keV. Finally, the Fourier frequency-dependent phase lag spectra are fairly flat during the plateau state, but increase from negative to positive during the radio-quiet state. We discuss the implications of our results in the light of some generic models.

Terrace-like structure in the above-threshold ionization spectrum of an atom in an IR+XUV two-color laser field

description: Based on the frequency-domain theory, we investigate the above-threshold ionization (ATI) process of an atom in a two-color laser field with infrared (IR) and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) frequencies, where the photon energy of the XUV laser is close to or larger than the atomic ionization threshold. By using the channel analysis, we find that the two laser fields play different roles in an ionization process, where the XUV laser determines the ionization probability by the photon number that the atom absorbs from it, while the IR laser accelerates the ionized electron and hence widens the electron kinetic energy spectrum. As a result, the ATI spectrum presents a terrace-like structure. By using the saddle-point approximation, we obtain a classical formula which can predict the cutoff of each plateau in the terrace-like ATI spectrum. Furthermore, we find that the difference of the heights between two neighboring plateaus in the terrace-like structure of the ATI spectrum increases as the frequency of the XUV laser increases.

description: This paper is a brief journey into the amazing realm of crystalline color superconductors. Starting from a qualitative description of superfluids, superconductors and supersolids, we show how inhomogeneous phases may arise when the system is under stress. These basic concepts are then extended to quark matter, in which a richer variety of phases can be realized. Then, the most interesting properties of the crystalline color superconductors are presented. This brief journey ends with a discussion of crystalline color superconductors in compact stars and related astrophysical observables. We aim at providing a pedagogical introduction for nonexpert in the field to a few interesting properties of crystalline color superconductors, without discussing the methods and the technicalities. Thus, the results are presented without a proof. However, we try to give a qualitatively clear description of the main concepts, using standard quantum field theory and analogies with condensed matter systems.

description: We study the framework of Bayesian statistics for analyzing the capabilities and results of future experiments looking to solve the issue of the neutrino mass ordering. Starting from the general scenario, we then give examples of the procedure for experiments with Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributions for the indicator. We describe in detail what can and cannot be said about the neutrino mass ordering and a future experiment's capabilities to determine it. Finally, we briefly comment on the application to other binary measurements, such as the determination of the octant of $θ_{23}$.

description: Garment sewing pattern represents the intrinsic rest shape of a garment, and is the core for many applications like fashion design, virtual try-on, and digital avatars. In this work, we explore the challenging problem of recovering garment sewing patterns from daily photos for augmenting these applications. To solve the problem, we first synthesize a versatile dataset, named SewFactory, which consists of around 1M images and ground-truth sewing patterns for model training and quantitative evaluation. SewFactory covers a wide range of human poses, body shapes, and sewing patterns, and possesses realistic appearances thanks to the proposed human texture synthesis network. Then, we propose a two-level Transformer network called Sewformer, which significantly improves the sewing pattern prediction performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework is effective in recovering sewing patterns and well generalizes to casually-taken human photos. Code, dataset, and pre-trained models are available at: https://sewformer.github.io.

description: We show that strict deterministic propositional dynamic logic with intersection is highly undecidable, solving a problem in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. In fact we show something quite a bit stronger. We introduce the construction of program equivalence, which returns the value $\mathsf{T}$ precisely when two given programs are equivalent on halting computations. We show that virtually any variant of propositional dynamic logic has $Π_1^1$-hard validity problem if it can express even just the equivalence of well-structured programs with the empty program \texttt{skip}. We also show, in these cases, that the set of propositional statements valid over finite models is not recursively enumerable, so there is not even an axiomatisation for finitely valid propositions.
