description: Designing visually appealing layouts for multimedia documents containing text, graphs and images requires a form of creative intelligence. Modelling the generation of layouts has recently gained attention due to its importance in aesthetics and communication style. In contrast to standard prediction tasks, there are a range of acceptable layouts which depend on user preferences. For example, a poster designer may prefer logos on the top-left while another prefers logos on the bottom-right. Both are correct choices yet existing machine learning models treat layouts as a single choice prediction problem. In such situations, these models would simply average over all possible choices given the same input forming a degenerate sample. In the above example, this would form an unacceptable layout with a logo in the centre. In this paper, we present an auto-regressive neural network architecture, called LayoutMCL, that uses multi-choice prediction and winner-takes-all loss to effectively stabilise layout generation. LayoutMCL avoids the averaging problem by using multiple predictors to learn a range of possible options for each layout object. This enables LayoutMCL to generate multiple and diverse layouts from a single input which is in contrast with existing approaches which yield similar layouts with minor variations. Through quantitative benchmarks on real data (magazine, document and mobile app layouts), we demonstrate that LayoutMCL reduces Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) by 83-98% and generates significantly more diversity in comparison to existing approaches.

description: This paper develops a novel method, based on hidden Markov models, to forecast earthquakes and applies the method to mainshock seismic activity in southern California and western Nevada. The forecasts are of the probability of a mainshock within one, five, and ten days in the entire study region or in specific subregions and are based on the observations available at the forecast time, namely the inter event times and locations of the previous mainshocks and the elapsed time since the most recent one. Hidden Markov models have been applied to many problems, including earthquake classification; this is the first application to earthquake forecasting.
From tough-on-crime to smart-on-crime: the racial impact of policing felony drug offenses in the 21st century
Creators: name: Campbell, Walter Lee
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: From the 1970s through the early 2000s, the policing of drug crime in America was marked by a “tough on crime” approach. This ethos influenced the ways in which police managed public safety, resulting in the adoption of police paramilitary units (PPUs) and the overuse and misuse of order-maintenance stops and warrants for drug offenses. Yet these units and practices are known to be associated with racialized patterns of policing. Over the past decade, a number of police agencies have transitioned towards a “smart on crime” ethos that rejects the “tough” approach in favor of evidence-based strategies often touted as race-neutral. This ideological shift in policing was especially pronounced in Atlanta, where a PPU was disbanded and replaced with data-driven units after several high-profile incidents of police abuse came to light. One of the consequences of the move to “smart” drug policing, then, should be a conspicuous decline in racial disparities. In this dissertation, I examine whether and how the move from “tough” to “smart” policing styles influences the role of race in the enforcement of felony drug crimes. Using data from the Context of Drug Enforcement project, I explore racialized patterns of policing in both the “tough” (2005) and “smart” (2012) eras; use multilevel models to understand the relationship between specialized units (PPUs and data-driven units) and certain tactics (warrants and order maintenance stops) with race in each era; and estimate fixed effects models to assess how the change in ethos, in specialized units, and in tactics affected racial disparities in drug policing across eras. The findings reveal a complicated story, with Atlanta Police Department’s shift in ethos contributing to changes in some but not all aspects of racialized drug arrest patterns and, even then, only marginally. This is partially a consequence of the minor and nuanced role played by these units and tactics in generating racial disparities in arrests in the first place. While the shift to a “smart on crime” ethos can generate a substantial redirection away from the policing of drug crime more broadly, it may do little to alleviate significant racial disparities in drug arrests.

description: In the present work, a novel non-water Infrared Refractance Window drying (IR-RWD) method was developed for Malabar spinach. Experiments were conducted using a hybrid experimental design. Fresh Malabar spinach was pretreated using the vacuum steam pulsed blanching (VSPB) method. Results showed that VSPB inactivated POD and PPO activities to 9.77% and 5.42% within four cycles, respectively. The optimum conditions were found at 1.2 mm sample thickness, 40% infrared power, and 3.67 cm distance between IR emitter and glass plate resulting in 67.38 % chlorophyll retention, 7.72 overall color changes, 16.57 mgGAE g−1 total phenolic content, and 11.20 kJ kg−1 specific energy consumption. The Page model showed the best fit to the drying kinetics. Furthermore, Biot number indicated the impact of both internal and external resistance on moisture diffusivity. XRD and FESEM characterization of dried powder showed a semi-crystalline phase and square plate, porous morphology. The non-water IR-RWD was a promising alternative to traditional water RWD.

description: We start by identifying a class of pseudo-differential operators, generated by the set of continuous negative definite functions, that are in the weak similarity (WS) orbit of the self-adjoint log-Bessel operator on the Euclidean space. These WS relations turn out to be useful to first characterize a core for each operator in this class, which enables us to show that they generate a class, denoted by $\mathscr{P}$, of non-self-adjoint $\mathcal{C}_0$-contraction positive semigroups. Up to a homeomorphism, $\mathscr{P}$ includes, as fundamental objects in probability theory, the family of self-similar Markov semigroups on $\mathbb{R}_+^d$. Relying on the WS orbit, we characterize the nature of the spectrum of each element in $\mathscr{P}$ that is used in their spectral representation which depends on analytical properties of the Bernstein-gamma functions defined from the associated negative definite functions, and, it is either the point, residual, approximate or continuous spectrum. We proceed by providing a spectral representation of each element in $\ccP$ which is expressed in terms of Fourier multiplier operators and valid, at least, on a dense domain of a natural weighted $L^2$-space. Surprisingly, the domain is the full Hilbert space when the spectrum is the residual one, something which seems to be noticed for the first time in the literature. We end up the paper by presenting a series of examples for which all spectral components are computed explicitly in terms of special functions or recently introduced power series.

description: The deterministic dynamics of randomly connected neural networks are studied, where a state of binary neurons evolves according to a discreet-time synchronous update rule. We give a theoretical support that the overlap of systems' states between the current and a previous time develops in time according to a Markovian stochastic process in large networks. This Markovian process predicts how often a network revisits one of previously visited states, depending on the system size. The state concentration probability, i.e., the probability that two distinct states co-evolve to the same state, is utilized to analytically derive various characteristics that quantify attractors' structure. The analytical predictions about the total number of attractors, the typical cycle length, and the number of states belonging to all attractive cycles match well with numerical simulations for relatively large system sizes.

Advances in non-relativistic matter via complex Langevin approaches

description: The recent progress in understanding the mathematics of complex stochastic quantization, as well as its application to quantum chromodynamics in situations that have a complex phase problem (e.g. finite quark density, real time), has opened up an intriguing possibility for non-relativistic many-body physics which has so far remained largely unexplored. In this brief contribution, I review a few specific examples of advances in the characterization of the thermodynamics of non-relativistic matter in a variety of one-dimensional cases affected by the sign problem: repulsive interactions, finite polarization, finite mass imbalance, and projection to finite systems to obtain virial coefficients.
Extended supersymmetry of semichiral sigma model in 4D

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Briefly: Using a novel $(1,1)$ superspace formulation of semichiral sigma models with $4D$ target space, we investigate if an extended supersymmetry in terms of semichirals is compatible with having a $4D$ target space with torsion. In more detail: Semichiral sigma models have $(2,2)$ supersymmetry and Generalized Kähler target space geometry by construction. They can also support $(4,4)$ supersymmetry and Generalized Hyperkähler geometry, but when the target space is four dimensional indications are that the geometry is restricted to Hyperkähler. To investigate this further, we reduce the model to $(1,1)$ superspace and construct the extra (on-shell) supersymmetries there. We then find the conditions for a lift to $(2,2)$ super space and semichiral fields to exist. Those conditions are shown to hold for Hyperkähler geometries. The $SU(2)\otimes U(1)$ WZW model, which has $(4,4)$ supersymmetry and a semichiral description, is also investigated. The additional supersymmetries are found in $(1,1)$ superspace but shown {\em not} to be liftable to a $(2,2)$ semichiral formulation.

description: Neutral hydrogen ($\rm{HI}$) $21$-cm intensity mapping (IM) offers an efficient technique for mapping the large-scale structures in the universe. We introduce the 'Cross' Tapered Gridded Estimator (Cross TGE), which cross-correlates two cross-polarizations (RR and LL) to estimate the multi-frequency angular power spectrum (MAPS) $C_{\ell}(Δν)$. We expect this to mitigate several effects like noise bias, calibration errors etc., which affect the 'Total' TGE which combines the two polarizations. Here we apply the Cross TGE on a $24.4 \,\rm{MHz}$ bandwidth uGMRT Band $3$ data centred at $432.8 \,\rm{MHz}$ aiming $\rm{HI}$ IM at $z=2.28$. The measured $C_{\ell}(Δν)$ is modelled to yield maximum likelihood estimates of the foregrounds and the spherical power spectrum $P(k)$ in several $k$ bins. Considering the mean squared brightness temperature fluctuations, we report a $2σ$ upper limit $Δ_{UL}^{2}(k) \le (58.67)^{2} \, {\rm mK}^{2}$ at $k=0.804 \, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ which is a factor of $5.2$ improvement on our previous estimate based on the Total TGE. Assuming that the $\rm{HI}$ traces the underlying matter distribution, we have modelled $C_{\ell}(Δν)$ to simultaneously estimate the foregrounds and $[Ω_{\rm{HI}} b_{\rm{HI}}] $ where $Ω_{\rm{HI}}$ and $b_{\rm{HI}}$ are the $\rm{HI}$ density and linear bias parameters respectively. We obtain a best fit value of $[Ω_{\rm{HI}}b_{\rm{HI}}]^2 = 7.51\times 10^{-4} \pm 1.47\times 10^{-3}$ which is consistent with noise. Although the $2σ$ upper limit $[Ω_{\rm{HI}}b_{\rm{HI}}]_{UL} \leq 0.061$ is $\sim 50$ times larger than the expected value, this is a considerable improvement over earlier works at this redshift.

description: A virtual or digital tour is a form of virtual reality technology which allows a user to experience a specific location remotely. Currently, these virtual tours are created by following a 2-step strategy. First, a photographer clicks a 360 degree equirectangular image; then, a team of annotators manually links these images for the "walkthrough" user experience. The major challenge in the mass adoption of virtual tours is the time and cost involved in manual annotation/linking of images. Therefore, this paper presents an end-to-end pipeline to automate the generation of 3D virtual tours using equirectangular images for real-estate properties. We propose a novel HSV-based coloring scheme for paper tags that need to be placed at different locations before clicking the equirectangular images using 360 degree cameras. These tags have two characteristics: i) they are numbered to help the photographer for placement of tags in sequence and; ii) bi-colored, which allows better learning of tag detection (using YOLOv5 architecture) in an image and digit recognition (using custom MobileNet architecture) tasks. Finally, we link/connect all the equirectangular images based on detected tags. We show the efficiency of the proposed pipeline on a real-world equirectangular image dataset collected from the Housing.com database.

Interacting bosons at finite angular momentum via complex langevin

Year: 2018

description: Quantum field theories with a complex action suffer from a sign problem in stochastic nonpertur-bative treatments, making many systems of great interest – such as polarized or mass-imbalanced fermions and QCD at finite baryon density – extremely challenging to treat numerically. Another such system is that of bosons at finite angular momentum; experimentalists have successfully achieved vortex formation in ultracold bosonic atoms, and have measured quantities of interest such as density profiles and the moment of inertia. However, the treatment of superfluids requires the use of complex bosons, making the usual numerical methods unusable. In this work, we apply complex Langevin, a method that has gained much attention in lattice QCD, to the calculation of basic properties of interacting bosons at finite angular momentum. We show preliminary results for the angular momentum and moment of inertia and benchmark calculations in the noninteracting limit.

description: The bidirectional selection between two classes widely emerges in various social lives, such as commercial trading and mate choosing. Until now, the discussions on bidirectional selection in structured human society are quite limited. We demonstrated theoretically that the rate of successfully matching is affected greatly by individuals neighborhoods in social networks, regardless of the type of networks. Furthermore, it is found that the high average degree of networks contributes to increasing rates of successful matches. The matching performance in different types of networks has been quantitatively investigated, revealing that the small-world networks reinforces the matching rate more than scale-free networks at given average degree. In addition, our analysis is consistent with the modeling result, which provides the theoretical understanding of underlying mechanisms of matching in complex networks.

description: Sh 2-174 is believed to be either a planetary nebula (PN) or ionized, ambient interstellar medium (ISM). We present in this paper 1420 MHz polarization, 1420 MHz total intensity (Stokes-I), and neutral hydrogen (HI) images of the region around Sh 2-174. The radio images address not only the nature of the object, but also the history of the relationship between Sh 2-174 and its surrounding environment. The HI images show that Sh 2-174 sits presently at the center of a 1.2 deg x 0.4 deg cloud. The Stokes-I image shows thermal emission peaks coincident with the R-band optical nebula, as well as low-surface-brightness emission from an ionized "halo" around Sh 2-174 and from an ionized "plateau" extending southeast from the cloud. The polarization images reveal Faraday-rotation structures along the projected trajectory of Sh 2-174, including a high-contrast structure with "arms" that run precisely along the eastern edge of the HI cloud and a wide central region which merges with the downstream edge of Sh 2-174. The high-contrast structure is consistent with an ionized tail which has both early-epoch (before Sh 2-174 entered the cloud) and present-epoch (after Sh 2-174 entered the cloud) components. Furthermore, our rotation-measure analysis indicates that the ISM magnetic field is deflected at the leading edge of Sh 2-174. The downstream tail and upstream field deflection point to a PN-ISM interaction. Our estimated space velocity for the host white dwarf (GD~561) demonstrates that Sh 2-174 entered the cloud approximately 27,000 yr ago, and gives a PN-ISM interaction timescale less than approximately 200,000 yr. We estimate an ambient magnetic field in the cloud of 11 +/- 3 microGauss.

Equation of state of non-relativistic matter from automated perturbation theory and complex Langevin

Publisher: name: EDP Sciences
Year: 2018

description: We calculate the pressure and density of polarized non-relativistic systems of two-component fermions coupled via a contact interaction at finite temperature. For the unpolarized one-dimensional system with an attractive interaction, we perform a thirdorder lattice perturbation theory calculation and assess its convergence by comparing with hybrid Monte Carlo. In that regime, we also demonstrate agreement with real Langevin. For the repulsive unpolarized one-dimensional system, where there is a so-called complex phase problem, we present lattice perturbation theory as well as complex Langevin calculations. For our studies, we employ a Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation to decouple the interaction and automate the application of Wick's theorem for perturbative calculations, which generates the diagrammatic expansion at any order. We find excellent agreement between the results from our perturbative calculations and stochastic studies in the weakly interacting regime. In addition, we show predictions for the strong coupling regime as well as for the polarized one-dimensional system. Finally, we show a first estimate for the equation of state in three dimensions where we focus on the polarized unitary Fermi gas.

description: Food production plays a central role in the health of humanity and our environment. New Zealand produces a large amount of food, but it is unknown if it can produce enough of the right crops in the places to better the health of New Zealanders, profitably, while maintaining New Zealand’s primary production exports and meeting ambitions to lower greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions and nutrient losses to water. We tested two scenarios that aimed at delivering a healthy diet while maximising profit and minimising GHGs (climate-focused scenario) or losses of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to water (freshwater-focused scenario). Land use change was targeted to areas not currently meeting bottom lines for N or P loss but needed to spill over to other areas to meet dietary targets in both scenarios. The maximum cost of the required land use change was about 1% of the primary sector’s export revenues, and orders of magnitude less than the estimated savings for the health system from an optimised diet. We conclude that shifting productive land uses can help meet environmental targets for GHGs, N and P while saving money and improving the health of its people.

description: Water plays a vital role in the deterioration and conservation of built and rock-hewn heritage and it is generally agreed that climate change is significantly changing the environmental controls on stone decay. We here introduce the framework of heritage hydrology as a holistic way of conceptualising the flows and stores, processes and impacts of water interacting with building materials. We distinguish the basic types of stone-built buildings, ruins and free-standing walls, and rock-hewn sites. Analogous to catchment hydrology, heritage hydrology can be subdivided into water fluxes and water reservoirs, further subdivided into inputs (e.g. wind-driven rain, capillary rise), throughputs (e.g. runoff down façade), storages (moisture content) and outputs (evaporation and runoff). Spatial patterns of moisture are different between buildings and rock-hewn sites, both presenting hydrological complexities. The interaction between mean and short-term precipitation, wind, radiation and resulting evaporation may lead to very different impacts at different heritage sites. We here differentiate between the detail scale, the façade scale and the building or site scale. Patterns at different sites can be very variable on different scales due to the multitude of influencing parameters and it is not clear which scale of moisture variations is actually relevant for decay processes. Temporal patterns are equally scale-dependent and include short-term fluctuations in temperature and rainfall, high-magnitude episodic events such as floods and storms, and longer-term changes as a result of seasonality, interannual variability and secular trends or climate change. Based on the outlined framework we advocate a research agenda for heritage hydrology in the future. This should focus on (1) finding the best combinations of methods to measure and model spatio-temporal patterns in moisture; (2) researching the major factors controlling spatio-temporal patterns in moisture; (3) figuring out which spatio-temporal patterns are most important for driving deterioration and how their respective scales interact.

description: We formulate a general mathematical framework for self-tuning network control architecture design. This problem involves jointly adapting the locations of active sensors and actuators in the network and the feedback control policy to all available information about the time-varying network state and dynamics to optimize a performance criterion. We propose a general solution structure analogous to the classical self-tuning regulator from adaptive control. We show that a special case with full-state feedback can be solved in principle with dynamic programming, and in the linear quadratic setting the optimal cost functions and policies are piecewise quadratic and piecewise linear, respectively. For large networks where exhaustive architecture search is prohibitive, we describe a greedy heuristic for joint architecture-policy design. We demonstrate in numerical experiments that self-tuning architectures can provide dramatically improved performance over fixed architectures. Our general formulation provides an extremely rich and challenging problem space with opportunities to apply a wide variety of approximation methods from stochastic control, system identification, reinforcement learning, and static architecture design.

description: We report molecular line observations, made with ASTE and SEST, and dust continuum observations at 0.87 mm, made with APEX, towards the cold dust core G305.136+0.068. The molecular observations show that the core is isolated and roughly circularly symmetric and imply that it has a mass of $1.1\times10^3~M_\odot$. A simultaneous model fitting of the spectra observed in four transitions of CS, using a non-LTE radiative transfer code, indicates that the core is centrally condensed, with the density decreasing with radius as $r^{-1.8}$, and that the turbulent velocity increases towards the center. The dust observations also indicate that the core is highly centrally condensed and that the average column density is 1.1 g cm$^{-2}$, value slightly above the theoretical threshold required for the formation of high mass stars. A fit to the spectral energy distribution of the emission from the core indicates a dust temperature of $17\pm2$ K, confirming that the core is cold. Spitzer images show that the core is seen in silhouette from 3.6 to 24.0 $μ$m and that is surrounded by an envelope of emission, presumably tracing an externally excited photo-dissociated region. We found two embedded sources within a region of 20" centered at the peak of the core, one of which is young, has a luminosity of $66~L_\odot$ and is accreting mass with a high accretion rate, of $\sim1\times10^{-4}~M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. We suggest that this object corresponds to the seed of a high mass protostar still in the process of formation. The present observations support the hypothesis that G305.136+0.068 is a massive and dense cold core in an early stage of evolution, in which the formation of a high mass star has just started.

description: The Ethereum blockchain permits the development and deployment of smart contracts which can store and execute code 'on-chain' - that is, entirely on nodes in the blockchain's network. Smart contracts have traditionally been used for financial purposes, but since smart contracts are Turing-complete, their algorithmic scope is broader than any single domain. To that end, we design, develop, and deploy a comprehensive 3D rendering engine programmed entirely in Ethereum smart contracts, called Shackled. Shackled computes a 2D image from a 3D scene, executing every single computation on-chain, on Ethereum. To our knowledge, Shackled is the first and only fully on-chain 3D rendering engine for Ethereum. In this work, we 1) provide three unique datasets for the purpose of using and benchmarking Shackled, 2) execute said benchmarks and provide results, 3) demonstrate a potential use case of Shackled in the domain of tokenised generative art, 4) provide a no-code user interface to Shackled, 5) enumerate the challenges associated with programming complex algorithms in Solidity smart contracts, and 6) outline potential directions for improving the Shackled platform. It is our hope that this work increases the Ethereum blockchain's native graphics processing capabilities, and that it enables increased use of smart contracts for more complex algorithms, thus increasing the overall richness of the Ethereum ecosystem.

description: Involvement of community pharmacists in the detection and control of hypertension improves patient care. However, current European or North‐American guidelines do not provide specific guidance how to implement collaboration between pharmacists and physicians, especially when and how to refer patients with undetected or uncontrolled hypertension to a physician. The German Society of Cardiology and the ABDA – Federal Union of German Associations of Pharmacists developed and tested referral recommendations for community pharmacists, embedded in two guideline worksheets. The project included a guideline‐directed blood pressure (BP) measurement and recommendations when patients should be referred to their physician. A “red flag” referral within 4 weeks was recommended when SBP was >140 mm Hg or DBP >90 mm Hg (for subjects <80 years), and >160 mm Hg or >90 mm Hg (≥80 years) in undetected individuals, or >130 mm Hg or >80 mm Hg (<65 years) and >140 mm Hg or >80 mm Hg (≥65 years) in treated patients. BP was measured in 187 individuals (86 with known hypertension, mean [±SD] age 62 ± 15 years, 64% female, and 101 without known hypertension, 47 ± 16 years, 75% female) from 17 community pharmacies. In patients with hypertension, poorly controlled BP was detected in 55% (n = 47) and were referred. A total of 16/101 subjects without a history of hypertension were referred to their physician because of uncontrolled BP. Structured BP testing in pharmacies identified a significant number of subjects with undetected/undiagnosed hypertension and patients with poorly controlled BP. Community pharmacists could play a significant role in collaboration with physicians to improve the management of hypertension.

description: A well‐known result of Rödl and Ruciński states that for any graph H there exists a constant C such that if urn:x-wiley:rsa:media:rsa20959:rsa20959-math-0001, then the random graph Gn, p is a.a.s. H‐Ramsey, that is, any 2‐coloring of its edges contains a monochromatic copy of H. Aside from a few simple exceptions, the corresponding 0‐statement also holds, that is, there exists c > 0 such that whenever urn:x-wiley:rsa:media:rsa20959:rsa20959-math-0002 the random graph Gn, p is a.a.s. not H‐Ramsey. We show that near this threshold, even when Gn, p is not H‐Ramsey, it is often extremely close to being H‐Ramsey. More precisely, we prove that for any constant c > 0 and any strictly 2‐balanced graph H, if urn:x-wiley:rsa:media:rsa20959:rsa20959-math-0003, then the random graph Gn, p a.a.s. has the property that every 2‐edge‐coloring without monochromatic copies of H cannot be extended to an H‐free coloring after urn:x-wiley:rsa:media:rsa20959:rsa20959-math-0004 extra random edges are added. This generalizes a result by Friedgut, Kohayakawa, Rödl, Ruciński, and Tetali, who in 2002 proved the same statement for triangles, and addresses a question raised by those authors. We also extend a result of theirs on the three‐color case and show that these theorems need not hold when H is not strictly 2‐balanced.

description: We present direct radii measurements of the well-known transiting exoplanet host stars HD 189733 and HD 209458 using the CHARA Array interferometer. We find the limb-darkened angular diameters to be theta_LD = 0.3848 +/- 0.0055 and 0.2254 +/- 0.0072 milliarcsec for HD 189733 and HD 209458, respectively. HD 189733 and HD 209458 are currently the only two transiting exoplanet systems where detection of the respective planetary companion's orbital motion from high resolution spectroscopy has revealed absolute masses for both star and planet. We use our new measurements together with the orbital information from radial velocity and photometric time series data, Hipparcos distances, and newly measured bolometric fluxes to determine the stellar effective temperatures (T_eff = 4875 +/- 43, 6093 +/- 103 K), stellar linear radii (R_* = 0.805 +/- 0.016, 1.203 +/- 0.061 R_sun), mean stellar densities (rho_* = 1.62 +/- 0.11, 0.58 +/- 0.14 rho_sun), planetary radii (R_p = 1.216 +/- 0.024, 1.451 +/- 0.074 R_Jup), and mean planetary densities (rho_p = 0.605 +/- 0.029, 0.196 +/- 0.033 rho_Jup) for HD 189733 b and HD 209458 b, respectively. The stellar parameters for HD 209458, a F9 dwarf, are consistent with indirect estimates derived from spectroscopic and evolutionary modeling. However, we find that models are unable to reproduce the observational results for the K2 dwarf, HD 189733. We show that, for stellar evolutionary models to match the observed stellar properties of HD 189733, adjustments lowering the solar-calibrated mixing length parameter from 1.83 to 1.34 need to be employed.

description: Following up on a recent analysis of two cold atoms in a time-dependent harmonic trap in one dimension, we explore the entanglement entropy of two and three fermions in the same situation when driven through a parametric resonance. We find that the presence of such a resonance in the two-particle system leaves a clear imprint on the entanglement entropy. We show how the signal is modified by attractive and repulsive contact interactions, and how it remains present for the three-particle system. Additionaly, we extend the work of recent experiments to demonstrate how restricting observation to a limited subsystem gives rise to locally thermal behavior.
