description: Generation of synthetic biometric samples such as, for instance, fingerprint images gains more and more importance especially in view of recent cross-border regulations on security of private data. The reason is that biometric data is designated in recent regulations such as the EU GDPR as a special category of private data, making sharing datasets of biometric samples hardly possible even for research purposes. The usage of fingerprint images in forensic research faces the same challenge. The replacement of real datasets by synthetic datasets is the most advantageous straightforward solution which bears, however, the risk of generating “unrealistic” samples or “unrealistic distributions” of samples which may visually appear realistic. Despite numerous efforts to generate high-quality fingerprints, there is still no common agreement on how to define “high-quality” and how to validate that generated samples are realistic enough. Here, we propose general requirements on synthetic biometric samples (that are also applicable for fingerprint images used in forensic application scenarios) together with formal metrics to validate whether the requirements are fulfilled. Validation of our proposed requirements enables establishing the quality of a generative model (informed evaluation) or even the quality of a dataset of generated samples (blind evaluation). Moreover, we demonstrate in an example how our proposed evaluation concept can be applied to a comparison of real and synthetic datasets aiming at revealing if the synthetic samples exhibit significantly different properties as compared to real ones.

description: Battery discharge capacity forecasting is critically essential for the applications of lithium-ion batteries. The capacity degeneration can be treated as the memory of the initial battery state of charge from the data point of view. The streaming sensor data collected by battery management systems (BMS) reflect the usable battery capacity degradation rates under various operational working conditions. The battery capacity in different cycles can be measured with the temporal patterns extracted from the streaming sensor data based on the attention mechanism. The attention-based similarity regarding the first cycle can describe the battery capacity degradation in the following cycles. The deep degradation network (DDN) is developed with the attention mechanism to measure similarity and predict battery capacity. The DDN model can extract the degeneration-related temporal patterns from the streaming sensor data and perform the battery capacity prediction efficiently online in real-time. Based on the MIT-Stanford open-access battery aging dataset, the root-mean-square error of the capacity estimation is 1.3 mAh. The mean absolute percentage error of the proposed DDN model is 0.06{\%}. The DDN model also performance well in the Oxford Battery Degradation Dataset with dynamic load profiles. Therefore, the high accuracy and strong robustness of the proposed algorithm are verified.

description: By 1905, Henry Wellcome was extremely wealthy from his patent medicine endeavours and he was populating the eponymous Historical Medical Museum with eth?nographic curios and scientific implements from all over the world. Modern or ‘Western’ medicine, itself a contested term but generally agreed to mean clinical or evidence-based practice, had made such an impact globally that Wellcome was moved to collect vestiges of traditional medicine before they were lost to history. He wrote to Robert J. Welch, a professional Belfast photographer who would later achieve international acclaim as the official Harland and Wolff, or Titanic, photographer, in search of visual representations of Irish folk medicine.

description: In times of continuously growing data sizes, performing insightful analysis is increasingly difficult. I/O libraries such as NetCDF and ADIOS2 offer options to manage additional metadata to make the data retrieval more efficient. However, queries on this metadata are difficult as it is currently stored inside the corresponding self-describing data formats. By replacing the file system underneath with the storage framework JULEA, we can use dedicated backends for keyvalue and object stores, as well as databases. Splitting the BP file content into file metadata and file data enables novel and highly efficient data management techniques without creating redundancy.We have kept our approach transparent to the application layer by implementing a custom ADIOS2 engine. Moreover, our data analysis interface allows speeding up metadata queries by a factor of up to 60,000 in comparison to the ADIOS2 API and data formats.

description: We explicitly construct a finite number of discrete components in the restriction of complementary series representations of rank one semisimple groups $G$ to rank one subgroups $G_1$. For this we use the realizations of complementary series representations of $G$ and $G_1$ on Sobolev spaces on the nilpotent radicals $N$ and $N_1$ of the minimal parabolics in $G$ and $G_1$, respectively. The groups $N$ and $N_1$ are of H-type and we construct explicitly invariant differential operators between $N$ and $N_1$. These operators induce the projections onto the discrete components. Our construction of the invariant differential operators is carried out uniformly in the framework of H-type groups and also works for those H-type groups which do not occur as nilpotent radical of a parabolic subgroup in a semisimple group.

description: Gravitational-wave observations of compact binary coalescences are allowing us to see black holes and neutron stars further into the universe and recent results represent the most sensitive searches for compact objects ever undertaken. Most searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence currently rely on detecting coincident triggers from multiple detectors. In this paper, we describe a new method for extrapolating significance of single-detector signals beyond the live-time of the analysis. Using this method, we can recover loud signals which only triggered in a single detector. We demonstrate this method in a search of O3 data, and recover seven single-detector events with a false alarm rate less than two per year. These were the same events as discovered in the GWTC-2.1 and GWTC-3 searches in a single detector, and all but one event from 3-OGC and 4-OGC. Through a campaign of injected signals, we estimate that the total time--volume sensitivity increases by a factor of up to $1.20 \pm 0.02$ at a false alarm rate of one per two years compared to completely ignoring single-detector events.

We derive a general relation between the scattering matrix and the overlap matrix and use it to prove, that for a one-dimensional symmetric potential the von Neumann entropy, the Rényi entropies and the full counting statistics are robust against potential scattering, provided that $L/a\gg 1$. The results of numerical calculations support the validity of this conclusion for a generic potential.

description: The aim of this paper is to present experimental data and the constitutive model for the inelastic behavior of polyoxymethylene in wide strain rate and temperature ranges. To capture the non-linearity of the stress responses for both loading and unloading regimes, the composite model of inelastic deformation is utilized and further developed. The equivalent inelastic strain rate is described by the Prandtl–Eyring law, while the temperature dependence is characterized by the modified Arrhenius-type law. Generalized equivalent stress and the flow rule are formulated to capture pressure sensitivity, transverse strain and volumetric strain responses. The results obtained by the constitutive law are compared with experimental data for stress vs. axial strain from standard tension tests as well as with axial and transverse strains measured by digital image correlation. The developed composite model is able to capture the non-linearity of stress–strain curves for complex loading paths within the small strain regime. For higher strains, apart from geometrically non-linear theory, evolution laws for the volume fraction of the constituents should be modified and calibrated. For the small strain regime, the inelastic dilatation is negligible. For higher axial strain values, a decrease in Poisson’s ratio under tension and increase in it under compression are observed. The Drucker–Prager-type equivalent stress and the developed flow rule provide a better description of both the transverse and volumetric strains than that of the classical von Mises–Odqvist flow rules.

description: We analyze a 1-d ring structure composed of many two-level systems, in the limit where only one excitation is present. The two-level systems are coupled to a common environment, where the excitation can be lost, which induces super and subradiant behavior, an example of cooperative quantum coherent effect. We consider time-independent random fluctuations of the excitation energies. This static disorder, also called inhomogeneous broadening in literature, induces Anderson localization and is able to quench Superradiance. We identify two different regimes: $i)$ weak opening, in which Superradiance is quenched at the same critical disorder at which the states of the closed system localize; $ii)$ strong opening, with a critical disorder strength proportional to both the system size and the degree of opening, displaying robustness of cooperativity to disorder. Relevance to photosynthetic complexes is discussed.

description: This paper suggests reconsidering a recent trend in organization research with respect to structuration theory in which the focus on practice dominates. By drawing on some accounts from Schulz-Schaeffer (1999) it will be shown that there is still a potential to extend the duality model by theoretically analyzing the interrelations between rules and resources. This paper takes a closer look to issues about technology because in this realm of organization research, structuration theory is one of the main theoretical backgrounds.

description: Internal combustion engines with a crankshaft have been successfully developed for many years. They are lacking in the fact that the piston trajectory, i.e., position as a function of time, is limited by the crankshaft motion law. Position-controlled electric linear machines directly coupled to the piston allow to realize free-piston engines. Unlike the crankshaft-based engines, they allow for a higher degree of freedom in shaping the piston trajectory, including adaptive compression ratios, which enables optimal operation with alternative fuels. The possibility of adapting the stroke course results in new degrees of freedom with which the combustion process can be optimized. In this work, four-stroke trajectories with different amplitudes and piston dynamics have been proposed and analyzed regarding efficiency. A simulation model was created based on experimental measurements for testing the proposed trajectories. It could be proved that the variation of the trajectory resulted in an improvement of the overall efficiency. The trajectories were described analytically so that they can be used for a prototype in a future work.

description: We propose and study a generalized version of the Lipman-Zariski conjecture: let $(x \in X)$ be an $n$-dimensional singularity such that for some integer $1 \le p \le n - 1$, the sheaf $Ω_X^{[p]}$ of reflexive differential $p$-forms is free. Does this imply that $(x \in X)$ is smooth? We give an example showing that the answer is no even for $p = 2$ and $X$ a terminal threefold. However, we prove that if $p = n - 1$, then there are only finitely many log canonical counterexamples in each dimension, and all of these are isolated and terminal. As an application, we show that if $X$ is a projective klt variety of dimension $n$ such that the sheaf of $(n-1)$-forms on its smooth locus is flat, then $X$ is a quotient of an Abelian variety. On the other hand, if $(x \in X)$ is a hypersurface singularity with singular locus of codimension at least three, we give an affirmative answer to the above question for any $1 \le p \le n - 1$. The proof of this fact relies on a description of the torsion and cotorsion of the sheaves $Ω_X^p$ of Kähler differentials on a hypersurface in terms of a Koszul complex. As a corollary, we obtain that for a normal hypersurface singularity, the torsion in degree $p$ is isomorphic to the cotorsion in degree $p - 1$ via the residue map.

description: The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_ub| is not well determined yet. It can be extracted from both inclusive or exclusive decays, like B --> pi (rho) l nu-bar_l. However, the exclusive determination from B --> rho l nu-bar_l, in particular, suffers from a large model dependence. In this paper, we propose to extract |V_ub| from the four-body semileptonic decay B --> pi pi l nu-bar_l, where the form factors for the pion-pion system are treated in dispersion theory. This is a model-independent approach that takes into account the pi-pi rescattering effects, as well as the effect of the rho meson. We demonstrate that both finite-width effects of the rho meson as well as scalar pi-pi contributions can be considered completely in this way.

description: The self-organised motion of vast numbers of creatures in a single direction is a spectacular example of emergent order. We recreate this phenomenon using actuated non-living components. We report here that millimetre-sized tapered rods, rendered motile by contact with an underlying vibrated surface and interacting through a medium of spherical beads, undergo a phase transition to a state of spontaneous alignment of velocities and orientations above a threshold bead area fraction. Guided by a detailed simulation model, we construct an analytical theory of this flocking transition, with two ingredients: a moving rod drags beads; neighbouring rods reorient in the resulting flow like a weathercock in the wind. Theory and experiment agree on the structure of our phase diagram in the plane of rod and bead concentrations and power-law spatial correlations near the phase boundary. Our discovery suggests possible new mechanisms for the collective transport of particulate or cellular matter.

description: Background: Treatment of functional mitral regurgitation using transcatheter techniques such as the Cardioband annuloplasty device (Edwards Lifesciences) has gained wide acceptance in the recent years. However, complications of such devices are rarely reported. Methods: Here, we present a case series involving two patients with dislocation of the Cardioband device and discuss the surgical management. Results: In the former the valve was re‐repaired by surgical implantation of an annuloplasty ring, and in the latter the valve had to be replaced due to severe damage of the mitral valve annulus. Both patients had an uncomplicated course and were discharged to rehabilitation Center. Conclusion: Dislocation of the Cardioband devices can be successfully managed by surgical approaches. Depending on the extent of damage to the mitral valve annulus, the valve could be re‐repaired or should be repalced.

description: For every integer $k$ there exists a bound $B=B(k)$ such that if the characteristic polynomial of $g\in \operatorname{SL}_n(q)$ is the product of $\le k$ pairwise distinct monic irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, then every element $x$ of $\operatorname{SL}_n(q)$ of support at least $B$ is the product of two conjugates of $g$. We prove this and analogous results for the other classical groups over finite fields; in the orthogonal and symplectic cases, the result is slightly weaker. With finitely many exceptions $(p,q)$, in the special case that $n=p$ is prime, if $g$ has order $\frac{q^p-1}{q-1}$, then every non-scalar element $x \in \operatorname{SL}_p(q)$ is the product of two conjugates of $g$. The proofs use the Frobenius formula together with upper bounds for values of unipotent and quadratic unipotent characters in finite classical groups.

description: Environmental and resources problems have been the driving force behind the development of fuel cell technologies. The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is one of the highly promising fuel cells in terms of delivering energy requirements for a vast number of applications. Nevertheless, its commercialization has been restricted because of its limited durability and reliability. In order to enhance its performance, effective modelling, and diagnostic strategies are essential. Several technologies are employed to investigate the various degradation mechanisms occurring in the PEMFC. Among them, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is the most widely employed method. Nevertheless, it is not able to distinguish processes having a similar time constant, and thus alternative frequency response analysis (FRA) techniques have recently been developed involving non-electrical inputs and/or outputs, for instance, the concentration-alternating frequency response analysis (cFRA). However, these methodologies have required a longer period of experiments and their results are difficult to interpret, which requires complex models to understand them. In order to tackle such challenges, the data-driven based approach, known as the Loewner Framework, is adopted in this thesis. Applying the Loewner framework, a new methodology is developed as a complementary analysis technique for interpreting EIS and cFRA data of the PEMFC. This novel method allows the identification of the different features of the individual physicochemical phenomena in a very clear manner and facilitates the decoupling of processes with comparable time constants. In addition, the cFRA experiment data are analysed by using the Loewner framework in order to shorten the duration of the experiments, and the results show the feasibility of a significant amount of time reduction of the cFRA experiments.

After three years under the editorship of its founding editors from Germany and the US, and another three years under the editorship of the present authors, JLL has developed into an ambitious academic journal that serves as a forum for questions on the interdependence of language and law in all of its facets. With its authors coming from six continents, and demanding peer review procedures rejecting more than half of its submissions, JLL aspires to highest academic standards. As one of the first three humanities journals in the Free Journal Network, JLL also strives to be a best-practice pioneer in platinum open access publishing. The present progress report briefly summarizes the development of JLL since its inception in 2012, and welcomes the new managing editor for the present three-year term (2019–2021).

description: We propose an adaptive sparse grid stochastic collocation approach based upon Leja interpolation sequences for approximation of parameterized functions with high-dimensional parameters. Leja sequences are arbitrarily granular (any number of nodes may be added to a current sequence, producing a new sequence) and thus are a good choice for the univariate composite rule used to construct adaptive sparse grids in high dimensions. When undertaking stochastic collocation one is often interested in constructing weighted approximation where the weights are determined by the probability densities of the random variables. This paper establishes that a certain weighted formulation of one-dimensional Leja sequences produces a sequence of nodes whose empirical distribution converges to the corresponding limiting distribution of the Gauss quadrature nodes associated with the weight function. This property is true even for unbounded domains. We apply the Leja-sparse grid approach to several high-dimensional and problems and demonstrate that Leja sequences are often superior to more standard sparse grid constructions (e.g. Clenshaw-Curtis), at least for interpolatory metrics.

description: Auditory and visual percepts are integrated even when they are not perfectly temporally aligned with each other, especially when the visual signal precedes the auditory signal. This window of temporal integration for asynchronous audiovisual stimuli is relatively well examined in the case of speech, while other natural action-induced sounds have been widely neglected. Here, we studied the detection of audiovisual asynchrony in three different whole-body actions with natural action-induced sounds–hurdling, tap dancing and drumming. In Study 1, we examined whether audiovisual asynchrony detection, assessed by a simultaneity judgment task, differs as a function of sound production intentionality. Based on previous findings, we expected that auditory and visual signals should be integrated over a wider temporal window for actions creating sounds intentionally (tap dancing), compared to actions creating sounds incidentally (hurdling). While percentages of perceived synchrony differed in the expected way, we identified two further factors, namely high event density and low rhythmicity, to induce higher synchrony ratings as well. Therefore, we systematically varied event density and rhythmicity in Study 2, this time using drumming stimuli to exert full control over these variables, and the same simultaneity judgment tasks. Results suggest that high event density leads to a bias to integrate rather than segregate auditory and visual signals, even at relatively large asynchronies. Rhythmicity had a similar, albeit weaker effect, when event density was low. Our findings demonstrate that shorter asynchronies and visual-first asynchronies lead to higher synchrony ratings of whole-body action, pointing to clear parallels with audiovisual integration in speech perception. Overconfidence in the naturally expected, that is, synchrony of sound and sight, was stronger for intentional (vs. incidental) sound production and for movements with high (vs. low) rhythmicity, presumably because both encourage predictive processes. In contrast, high event density appears to increase synchronicity judgments simply because it makes the detection of audiovisual asynchrony more difficult. More studies using real-life audiovisual stimuli with varying event densities and rhythmicities are needed to fully uncover the general mechanisms of audiovisual integration.

description: Given a smooth bracket-generating distribution $\mathcal{D}$ of constant growth on a manifold $M$, we prove that maps from an arbitrary manifold $Σ$ to $M$, which are transverse to $\mathcal{D}$, satisfy the complete $h$-principle. This partially settles a question posed by M. Gromov.

description: We review generalized zeta functions built over the Riemann zeros (in short: "superzeta" functions). They are symmetric functions of the zeros that display a wealth of explicit properties, fully matching the much more elementary Hurwitz zeta function. As a concrete application, a superzeta function enters an integral representation for the Keiper--Li coefficients, whose large-order behavior thereby becomes computable by the method of steepest descents; then the dominant saddle-point entirely depends on the Riemann Hypothesis being true or not, and the outcome is a sharp exponential-asymptotic criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis that only refers to the large-order Keiper--Li coefficients. As a new result, that criterion, then Li's criterion, are transposed to a novel sequence of Riemann-zeta expansion coefficients based at the point 1/2 (vs 1 for Keiper--Li).

description: Ground state ferromagnetism of the Kondo lattices is investigated within slave fermion approach by Coleman and Andrei within a mean-field approximation in the effective hybridization model. Conditions for formation of both saturated (half-metallic) and non-saturated magnetic state are obtained for various lattices. A description in terms of universal functions which depend only on bare electron density of states (DOS) is presented. A crucial role of the energy dependence of the bare DOS (especially, of DOS peaks) for the small-moment ferromagnetism formation is demonstrated.

description: In this paper we introduce and study several new Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya-type operators. In particular, we study a Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya-type operator induced by a positive Borel measure on $[0,1)$. We establish some sufficient and necessary conditions for the boundedness (compactness) of these operators. We also determine the exact values of the norms of the Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya-type operators for certain special cases.

description: We carry out the extended symmetry analysis of an ultraparabolic Fokker-Planck equation with three independent variables, which is also called the Kolmogorov equation and is singled out within the class of such Fokker-Planck equations by its remarkable symmetry properties. In particular, its essential Lie invariance algebra is eight-dimensional, which is the maximum dimension within the above class. We compute the complete point symmetry pseudogroup of the Fokker-Planck equation using the direct method, analyze its structure and single out its essential subgroup. After listing inequivalent one- and two-dimensional subalgebras of the essential and maximal Lie invariance algebras of this equation, we exhaustively classify its Lie reductions, carry out its peculiar generalized reductions and relate the latter reductions to generating solutions with iterative action of Lie-symmetry operators. As a result, we construct wide families of exact solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation, in particular, those parameterized by an arbitrary finite number of arbitrary solutions of the (1+1)-dimensional linear heat equation. We also establish the point similarity of the Fokker-Planck equation to the (1+2)-dimensional Kramers equations whose essential Lie invariance algebras are eight-dimensional, which allows us to find wide families of exact solutions of these Kramers equations in an easy way.

description: O presente estudo visa analisar como as perspectivas profissionais das estudantes de Ciências Contábeis são influenciadas pelo fenômeno Glass Ceiling. Para tal, discutimos tais perspectivas a partir da lente teórica do Glass Ceiling que representa as múltiplas barreiras enfrentadas por mulheres em seu desenvolvimento profissional. Para alcançar o objetivo foram realizadas sete entrevistas com estudantes de idades e semestres diferentes, do curso de Ciências Contábeis em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior que foram analisadas por meio de pesquisa exploratória e descritiva. Dessa forma, buscou-se explicar as perspectivas vivenciadas por mulheres em diferentes estágios de vida e quais suas principais barreiras durante esta jornada. Os principais resultados obtidos foram condizentes com a lente teórica escolhida, sendo que as estudantes destacaram possíveis barreiras que esperam encontrar na profissão. Destaca-se que a principal barreira do Glass Ceiling encontrada neste estudo foi a maternidade, assim, pode-se constatar isso tanto com as entrevistadas que já são mães, quanto com as entrevistadas que ainda não possuem filho. Além disso, a maioria das entrevistadas acredita que a área da contabilidade oferece oportunidade iguais para homens e mulheres, mas que remuneração das mulheres permanece inferior na maioria dos casos, pela desigualdade de gênero. Dessa forma, conclui-se que as perspectivas profissionais das mulheres em Contabilidade abrangem barreiras (in)tangíveis e se desdobra a partir de contradições e desigualdades.

description: The problem of efficient quantum state learning, also called shadow tomography, aims to comprehend an unknown $d$-dimensional quantum state through POVMs. Yet, these states are rarely static; they evolve due to factors such as measurements, environmental noise, or inherent Hamiltonian state transitions. This paper leverages techniques from adaptive online learning to keep pace with such state changes.
 The key metrics considered for learning in these mutable environments are enhanced notions of regret, specifically adaptive and dynamic regret. We present adaptive and dynamic regret bounds for online shadow tomography, which are polynomial in the number of qubits and sublinear in the number of measurements. To support our theoretical findings, we include numerical experiments that validate our proposed models.
