description: We examine two central regularization strategies for monotone variational inequalities, the first a direct regularization of the operative monotone mapping, and the second via regularization of the associated dual gap function. A key link in the relationship between the solution sets to these various regularized problems is the idea of exact regularization, which, in turn, is fundamentally associated with the existence of Lagrange multipliers for the regularized variational inequality. A regularization is said to be exact if a solution to the regularized problem is a solution to the unregularized problem for all parameters beyond a certain value. The Lagrange multipliers corresponding to a particular regularization of a variational inequality, on the other hand, are defined via the dual gap function. Our analysis suggests various conceptual, iteratively regularized numerical schemes, for which we provide error bounds, and hence stopping criteria, under the additional assumption that the solution set to the unregularized problem is what we call weakly sharp of order greater than one.

Approximation of skewed interfaces with tensor-based model reduction procedures: application to the reduced basis hierarchical model reduction approach

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this article we introduce a procedure, which allows to recover the potentially very good approximation properties of tensor-based model reduction procedures for the solution of partial differential equations in the presence of interfaces or strong gradients in the solution which are skewed with respect to the coordinate axes. The two key ideas are the location of the interface either by solving a lower-dimensional partial differential equation or by using data functions and the subsequent removal of the interface of the solution by choosing the determined interface as the lifting function of the Dirichlet boundary conditions. We demonstrate in numerical experiments for linear elliptic equations and the reduced basis-hierarchical model reduction approach that the proposed procedure locates the interface well and yields a significantly improved convergence behavior even in the case when we only consider an approximation of the interface.

description: We investigate the geometry of Hermitian manifolds endowed with a compact Lie group action by holomorphic isometries with principal orbits of codimension one. In particular, we focus on a special class of these manifolds constructed by following Bérard-Bergery which includes, among the others, the holomorphic line bundles on $\mathbb C\mathbb P^{m-1}$, the linear Hopf manifolds and the Hirzebruch surfaces. We characterize their invariant special Hermitian metrics, such as balanced, Kähler-like, pluriclosed, locally conformally Kähler, Vaisman, Gauduchon. Furthermore, we construct new examples of cohomogeneity one Hermitian metrics solving the second-Chern-Einstein equation and the constant Chern-scalar curvature equation.

A paucity of bulk entangling surfaces: AdS wormholes with de Sitter interiors

description: We study and construct spacetimes, dubbed planar AdS-dS-wormholes, satisfying the null energy condition and having two asymptotically AdS boundaries connected through a (non-traversable) inflating wormhole. As for other wormholes, it is natural to expect dual descriptions in terms of two disconnected CFTs in appropriate entangled states. But for our cases certain expected bulk entangling surfaces used by the Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) prescription to compute CFT entropy do not exist. In particular, no real codimension-2 extremal surface can run from one end of the wormhole to the other. According to HRT, the mutual information between any two finite-sized subregions (one in each CFT) must then vanish at leading order in large $N$ -- though the leading-order mutual information per unit area between the two CFTs taken as wholes may be nonzero. Some planar AdS-dS-wormholes also fail to have plane-symmetric surfaces that would compute the total entropy of either CFT. We suggest this to remain true of less-symmetric surfaces so that the HRT entropy is ill-defined and some modified prescription is required. It may be possible to simply extend HRT or the closely-related maximin construction by a limiting procedure, though complex extremal surfaces could also play an important role.

Inter-cell Channel Allocation Between Small Cells and Macro Cell Based on Spectral Sensing Method in Heterogenous Cloud Radio Access Network (HCRAN) in 5G
Creators: name: Barai Suvendu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: In a Heterogenous Cloud Radio Access Network (H-CRAN), which consists of multiple access points (APs) providing smaller coverage and a high-power node (HPN) providing ubiquitous coverage, mobile machines can connect to multiple APs and a HPN by coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) concurrently to achieve ultra-reliable and low latency communication. However, the current network association (priorly known as handovers), which only focuses on switching between two base stations, may not be an efficient scheme in the H-CRAN. Coexistence of different cell types, Macro cell, Small cells and Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) are advantageous for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) as this specific network association significantly increases network coverage, capacity, scalability, data rate, spectral and energy efficiency. In this work, proactive approach of workload allocation between small cell and microcell of H-CRAN is proposed and validated by the simulation model designed in INET 4.2 under OMNET ++ 5.5.1. The simulation results prove that the proposed method is evidently better than the existing method in terms of Access Point power, Diversity gain and End-to-End delay.

description: Finding a date or a spouse online is usually considered an individualistic endeavor in Western cultures. This presents a challenge for collectivist non-Western cultures such as Saudi Arabia where choosing a spouse is viewed as a union of two families with parents of both spouses being heavily involved. Our work aims to investigate how Saudi Arabian parents view the utilization of technology by their young adults to seek potential spouses online. We report our findings of interviews conducted with 16 Saudi Arabian parents (8 fathers, 6 mothers and 1 couple). We generate qualitative themes that provide insights about how parents wanted to preserve their values, integrate technology into the traditional process and protect their young adults from potential harms. These themes lead to implications for designing suitable marital matchmaking technologies in Saudi Arabia and opportunities for future work.

description: We argue that the pattern of the deviation from the Glauber approximation prediction for the centrality dependence of the rate of forward jet production observed in pA collisions at the LHC provides the first experimental evidence that parton configurations in the projectile proton containing a parton with large $x$ interact with a nuclear target with a significantly smaller than average cross section and have smaller than average size. We implement the effects of fluctuations of the interaction strength and, using the ATLAS analysis of how hadron production at backward rapidities depends on the number of wounded nucleons, make quantitative predictions for the centrality dependence of the jet production rate as a function of the $x$-dependent interaction strength $σ(x)$. We find that σ(x)\sim 0.6 ~σ_{tot}(pp) gives a good description of the x=0.6 data and may shed a light on the origin of the EMC effect.

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study the spatially homogeneous phases of polar active particles in the low density limit, and specifically the transition from the isotropic phase to collective polar motion. We show that the fundamental quantity of interest for the stability of the isotropic phase is the forward component of the momentum change induced by binary scattering events. Building on the Boltzmann formalism, we introduce an ansatz for the one-particle distribution and derive a closed-form evolution equation for the order parameter. This approach yields a very intuitive and physically meaningful criterion for the destabilization of the isotropic phase, where the ansatz is exact. The criterion also predicts whether the transition is continuous or discontinuous, as illustrated in three different classes of models. The theoretical predictions are in excellent agreement with numerical results.

description: We address a state-of-the-art reinforcement learning (RL) control approach to automatically configure robotic prosthesis impedance parameters to enable end-to-end, continuous locomotion intended for transfemoral amputee subjects. Specifically, our actor-critic based RL provides tracking control of a robotic knee prosthesis to mimic the intact knee profile. This is a significant advance from our previous RL based automatic tuning of prosthesis control parameters which have centered on regulation control with a designer prescribed robotic knee profile as the target. In addition to presenting the complete tracking control algorithm based on direct heuristic dynamic programming (dHDP), we provide an analytical framework for the tracking controller with constrained inputs. We show that our proposed tracking control possesses several important properties, such as weight convergence of the learning networks, Bellman (sub)optimality of the cost-to-go value function and control input, and practical stability of the human-robot system under input constraint. We further provide a systematic simulation of the proposed tracking control using a realistic human-robot system simulator, the OpenSim, to emulate how the dHDP enables level ground walking, walking on different terrains and at different paces. These results show that our proposed dHDP based tracking control is not only theoretically suitable, but also practically useful.

description: We discuss "Banach SN spaces", which include Hilbert spaces, negative Hilbert spaces, and the product of any real Banach space with its dual. We introduce "L-positive" sets, which generalize monotone multifunctions from a Banach space into its dual. We introduce the concepts of "$r_L$-density" and its specialization "quasidensity": the closed quasidense monotone multifunctions from a Banach space into its dual form a (generally) strict subset of the maximally monotone ones, though all surjective maximally monotone and all maximally monotone multifunctions on a reflexive space are quasidense. We give a sum theorem and a parallel sum theorem for closed monotone quasidense multifunctions under very general constraint conditions. That is to say, quasidensity obeys a very nice calculus rule. We give a short proof that the subdifferential of a proper convex lower semicontinuous function on a Banach space is quasidense, and deduce generalizations of the Brezis-Browder theorem on linear relations to non reflexive Banach spaces. We also prove that any closed monotone quasidense multifunction has a number of other very desirable properties. This version differs from the previous version in the removal of Sections 13-16, part of Section 17, and Section 18.

description: We study the statistics of Dirichlet eigenvalues of the random Schrödinger operator $-ε^{-2}Δ^{(\text{d})}+ξ^{(ε)}(x)$, with $Δ^{(\text{d})}$ the discrete Laplacian on $\mathbb Z^d$ and $ξ^{(ε)}(x)$ uniformly bounded independent random variables, on sets of the form $D_ε:=\{x\in \mathbb Z^d\colon xε\in D\}$ for $D\subset \mathbb R^d$ bounded, open and with a smooth boundary. If $\mathbb Eξ^{(ε)}(x)=U(xε)$ holds for some bounded and continuous $U\colon D\to \mathbb R$, we show that, as $ε\downarrow0$, the $k$-th eigenvalue converges to the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of the homogenized operator $-Δ+U(x)$, where $Δ$ is the continuum Dirichlet Laplacian on $D$. Assuming further that $\text{Var}(ξ^{(ε)}(x))=V(xε)$ for some positive and continuous $V\colon D\to \mathbb R$, we establish a multivariate central limit theorem for simple eigenvalues centered by their expectation. The limiting covariance for a given pair of simple eigenvalues is expressed as an integral of $V$ against the product of squares of the corresponding eigenfunctions of $-Δ+U(x)$.

description: Nel 1816 Foscolo diede alle stampe, con significative varianti, una nuova edizione delle Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis e vi pose in appendice una Notizia bibliografica. Con essa intese proporre una nuova lettura del proprio romanzo, che le correzioni apportate solo in parte erano riuscite a produrre. Una tale reinterpretazione fu affidata alla finzione dell'autorialità plurima (tre redattori) e dunque a un tipo di scrittura opposta alla monotonalità dell'Ortis: dove hanno ampio spazio l'aneddotica, le divagazioni, gli scarti stilistici, l'inventività estrosa. Si tratta, cioè, di una forma di saggistica di illustre tradizione europea, che in quel romanzo del romanzo che è la Notizia bibliografica raggiunse un punto di sintesi straordinario, tornato a scindersi in "critica letteraria" e "aneddoti" già all'esordio del periodo inglese.

Publisher: name: De Gruyter

description: We demonstrate a full-cycle breath gas sensor system based on terahertz/millimeter-wave gas spectroscopy. The sensor consists of a transmitter and receiver working around 250 GHz based on SiGe BiCMOS technology. Typical detection thresholds are in the ppm range depending on the respective molecule. The data analysis provides partial pressures of the investigated molecules by fitting of spectra which are measured by wavelength modulation. Beside the spectroscopic measurement and the data analysis, a full cycle of breath analysis includes the sampling and the conditioning of the sample tubes. The full cycle takes about 35 min per sample in average. As the system is compact and easy to operate, it allows for on-site analysis of breath samples in medical laboratories or hospitals.

Ausgehend vom systemischen Ansatz liegen die Ursachen für Verhaltensauffälligkeiten in den Wechselwirkungen verschiedener Faktoren innerhalb der Systeme. Die systemische Beratung hat zum Ziel, diese Wechselwirkungen zu identifizieren und gemeinsam mit der ratsuchenden Person ziel- und ressourcenorientierte Handlungsstrategien zu erarbeiten und einen nachhaltigen Lern- und Entwicklungsprozess auszulösen. Die vorliegende Arbeit kombiniert die systemische Beratung mit dem KPL-Modell (Greene, 2019), mit dem Lehrpersonen kollaborativ ein Problemverständnis für Verhaltensauffälligkeiten und Schulprobleme eines Kindes entwickeln. Es ist eine Massnahme, um Kinder mit Schulschwierigkeiten durch einen Förderdiagnoseprozess in ihrem Kompetenzzuwachs zu stärken.

description: Il saggio verte sulle Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis e spiega che Foscolo ha concepito il proprio romanzo come il perfezionamento di un nuovo "genere" romanzesco, inventato da Rousseau con la Nouvelle Héloïse e da Goethe col Werther. La nascente poetica dell'originalità e dell'espressività impedisce a Foscolo di ammettere pienamente questo debito. Ma questa stessa poetica lo spinge a evidenziare la novità del suo impegno politico e del suo pessimismo ontologico e a sottolineare la grandezza morale del suo personaggio.

description: The 2 MW 170 GHz single-frequency coaxial-cavity short-pulse pre-prototype is upgraded to operate also at 204 GHz. Therefore, the quasi-optical output coupler, which is a gyrotron key component, has been modified. Before the newly manufactured quasi-optical output coupler is installed into the gyrotron, a low-power cold measurement for the verification is performed. Therefore, a mode generator is designed and adjusted to excite the relevant operating gyrotron modes, namely the TE 34,19 mode at 170 GHz and TE 40,23 mode at 204 GHz, with excellent purity and a low counter-rotating amount of < 0.5 % for both modes. The TE 40,23 mode is the mode with the highest eigenvalue ever excited in cold tests. After the successful mode excitation, first the fabricated launcher and then the entire quasi-optical output coupler are verified, showing excellent agreement with the simulation.

description: Recently, we have shown that thermal effects play a crucial role in speeding up the rate of bond-dissociation reactions. This was done by applying a simple temperature-shifted Arrhenius Law to the experimental data, corroborated with detailed account of the heat diffusion occurring within the relevant samples and identification of errors in the temperature measurements. Here, we provide three important extensions of our previous studies. First, we analyze thermal effects in reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions, where charge transfer is an integral part of the reaction. Second, we analyze not only the spatial distribution of the temperature, but also its temporal dynamics. Third, we also model the fluid convection and stirring. An analysis of two exemplary experimental studies allows us to show that thermal effects can explain the experimental data in one of experiments (Baumberg and coworkers), but not in the other (Jain and coworkers), showing that redox reactions are not necessarily driven by non-thermal charge carriers.

description: In a July 2014 Nature Communications paper, Denkmayr et al. claim to have instantiated the so-called quantum Cheshire Cat experiment using neutron interferometry. Crucial to this claim are the weak values which must imply the quantum Cheshire Cat interpretation, i.e., "the neutron and its spin are spatially separated" in their experiment. While they measured the correct weak values for the quantum Cheshire Cat interpretation, the corresponding implications do not obtain because, as we show, those weak values were measured with both a quadratic and a linear magnetic field Bz interaction. We show explicitly how those weak values imply quantum Cheshire Cat if the Bz interaction is linear and then we show how the quadratic Bz interaction destroys the quantum Cheshire Cat implications of those weak values. Since both linear and quadratic Bz interactions contribute equally to the neutron intensity in this experiment, the deviant weak value implications are unavoidable. Because weak values were used successfully to compute neutron intensities for weak Bz in this experiment, it is clearly the case that one cannot make ontological inferences from weak values without taking into account the corresponding interaction strength.

Un frammento inedito di un 'Esperimento' omerico di Foscolo inglese: 'Iliade' I 1-34

description: Nell'asta tenuta presso la libreria Gonnelli di Firenze il 13 novembre 2011 è stato bat­tuto un cimelio di Ugo Foscolo. Si tratta di una pagina di stampa, propriamente una bozza con correzioni autografe, dei versi iniziali del primo libro della traduzione dell'Iliade. Il reperto, finora sconosciuto, sollecita qui una ricognizione che consente di ricon­giungerlo idealmente al mannello di quattordici bozze di traduzioni omeriche conser­vate presso la Biblioteca Labronica, databili al 1822­-1823. L'expertise filologica sull’inedito sollecita varie considerazioni critiche, permettendo di accostare il frammento alle Grazie inglesi del 1822. Si può supporre infatti che Foscolo intendesse affiancare uno specimen della sua traduzione già in bozze ai suoi versi, proprio come nel 1807, quando aveva prov­veduto a pubblicare in contemporanea i Sepolcri e l'Esperimento di traduzione della Iliade.

description: Replicated network data are increasingly available in many research fields. In connectomic applications, inter-connections among brain regions are collected for each patient under study, motivating statistical models which can flexibly characterize the probabilistic generative mechanism underlying these network-valued data. Available models for a single network are not designed specifically for inference on the entire probability mass function of a network-valued random variable and therefore lack flexibility in characterizing the distribution of relevant topological structures. We propose a flexible Bayesian nonparametric approach for modeling the population distribution of network-valued data. The joint distribution of the edges is defined via a mixture model which reduces dimensionality and efficiently incorporates network information within each mixture component by leveraging latent space representations. The formulation leads to an efficient Gibbs sampler and provides simple and coherent strategies for inference and goodness-of-fit assessments. We provide theoretical results on the flexibility of our model and illustrate improved performance --- compared to state-of-the-art models --- in simulations and application to human brain networks.

Undead Return

description: This article examines the origins of the videogame zombie by tracing their appearances in the Japanese videogames Phantom Fighter (Marionette 1988), Sweet Home (Capcom 1989) and Biohazard (Capcom 1996). The nascent versions of interactive zombies in these games offer a distinctively Japanese variation to the mediated figure of the undead. Their monsters draw upon and contribute to traditions of Japanese folklore teeming with yōkai (supernatural demons, monsters and ghouls). Through analysis of Phantom Fighter, Sweet Home and Biohazard, I demonstrate how Japan’s prototypical videogame zombies build upon their yōkai roots to reflect a public consciousness that is grappling with the jarring reanimation of long-unresolved trauma: the tragedies, crimes, and anguish of the Pacific War and its devastating conclusion. The figure of the zombie—trading in abject and uncanny forms of monstrosity, and upending sense and meaning through its impossible terrors—appears to be a natural product of this moment of rupture in Japan’s post-war history. The appearance of the zombie in these videogames invites players into the mediation and negotiation of popular cultural memorial anxieties.

description: The caged compound LaRu2Zn20 exhibits a structural transition at TS =150 K, whose driving mechanism remains elusive. We have investigated atomic dynamics by the measurements of specific heat C and inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS). The lattice part of the specific heat Clat divided by T3, Clat/T3, shows a broad peak at around 15 K, which is reproduced by two Einstein modes with characteristic temperatures of 35 K and 82 K, respectively. IXS measurements along the [111] and [110] directions reveal optical phonon modes at 3 meV (35 K) and 7 meV (80 K), respectively, whose values agree with the values of Einstein temperatures. The first principles calculation has assigned the phonon modes at 3 meV as the optical modes of Zn atoms located at the middle of two La atoms. The low-energy vibration of the Zn atom perpendicular to the there-fold axis is thought to lead the structural instability of LaRu2Zn20.

description: In recent years, denoising methods based on deep learning have achieved unparalleled performance at the cost of large computational complexity. In this work, we propose an Efficient Multi-stage Video Denoising algorithm, called EMVD, to drastically reduce the complexity while maintaining or even improving the performance. First, a fusion stage reduces the noise through a recursive combination of all past frames in the video. Then, a denoising stage removes the noise in the fused frame. Finally, a refinement stage restores the missing high frequency in the denoised frame. All stages operate on a transform-domain representation obtained by learnable and invertible linear operators which simultaneously increase accuracy and decrease complexity of the model. A single loss on the final output is sufficient for successful convergence, hence making EMVD easy to train. Experiments on real raw data demonstrate that EMVD outperforms the state of the art when complexity is constrained, and even remains competitive against methods whose complexities are several orders of magnitude higher. Further, the low complexity and memory requirements of EMVD enable real-time video denoising on commercial SoC in mobile devices.
‘Death or Rebirth’

description: This contribution offers a critical analysis of Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead (2021) and its representation of apocalyptic borderscapes and topographies of exception. It examines how the film portrays the ethical dimensions of survival and death in the context of a zombie apocalypse, in which the border functions as a site of exclusion where subjects are not only excluded from a specific territory or the sphere of the law but also, more importantly, from the sphere of the living. The author analyzes the narrative, aesthetic, and cinematic strategies that Army of the Dead employs to shed light on this necropolitical dimension of the border and the ways in which this dimension is intertwined with the imaginary of survival in and of the apocalypse. In particular, the author argues that the plural and particular apocalypse(s) in the film not only expose patterns of seeming exceptionalism that mask the everydayness of biopolitical exclusion and the topographies of exception they produce but also make visible the territorial dimension of the border as a recurring instrument of bio- and necro-political control that regulates and structures survival.

description: The contemporary American zombie apocalypse narrative engages aspects of the elemental world, and fluid elements in particular, in ways that reshape our views of both the pre-apocalyptic worlds of zombie terror and the post-apocalyptic worlds that emerge from the ruins. Two such shows, the AMC television series The Walking Dead (2010-2022) and its first major spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead (2015-2023), circulate polyvalent images of three particular fluid substrates—blood, water, and oil—that structure the violent collapse and agonizing rebirth of the contemporary world. I argue that these fluids reshape the zombie apocalypse narrative as an elemental apocalypse that exposes certain forms of ongoing social and ecological violence. They mobilise the material realities and rigid forms that constitute our sense of a shared society and planet and transform them into a set of softened, malleable structures that make us more attentive to the uncertainties, ambiguities, and uncomfortable complicities that characterise the shows’ allegorisations of global catastrophe. Contemporary zombie apocalypse narratives like The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead re-establish the centrality of the fluid elements that have long structured the zombie mythos and its intersecting histories of violence toward human subjects and the nonhuman environment.
