description: We main goal of this paper is to test whether the NIR peak magnitudes of SNe Ia could be accurately estimated with only a single observation obtained close to maximum light, provided the time of B band maximum and the optical stretch parameter are known. We obtained multi-epoch UBVRI and single-epoch J and H photometric observations of 16 SNe Ia in the redshift range z=0.037-0.183, doubling the leverage of the current SN Ia NIR Hubble diagram and the number of SNe beyond redshift 0.04. This sample was analyzed together with 102 NIR and 458 optical light curves (LCs) of normal SNe Ia from the literature. The analysis of 45 well-sampled NIR LCs shows that a single template accurately describes them if its time axis is stretched with the optical stretch parameter. This allows us to estimate the NIR peak magnitudes even with one observation obtained within 10 days from B-band maximum. We find that the NIR Hubble residuals show weak correlation with DM_15 and E(B-V), and for the first time we report a possible dependence on the J_max-H_max color. The intrinsic NIR luminosity scatter of SNe Ia is estimated to be around 0.10 mag, which is smaller than what can be derived for a similarly heterogeneous sample at optical wavelengths. In conclusion, we find that SNe Ia are at least as good standard candles in the NIR as in the optical. We showed that it is feasible to extended the NIR SN Ia Hubble diagram to z=0.2 with very modest sampling of the NIR LCs, if complemented by well-sampled optical LCs. Our results suggest that the most efficient way to extend the NIR Hubble diagram to high redshift would be to obtain a single observation close to the NIR maximum. (abridged)

description: We report results of the performance evaluation of a new hardware correlator in Korea, the Daejeon correlator, developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). We conducted Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations at 22~GHz with the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) in Korea and the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) in Japan, and correlated the aquired data with the Daejeon correlator. For evaluating the performance of the new hardware correlator, we compared the correlation outputs from the Daejeon correlator for KVN observations with those from a software correlator, the Distributed FX (DiFX). We investigated the correlated flux densities and brightness distributions of extragalactic compact radio sources. The comparison of the two correlator outputs show that they are consistent with each other within $<8\%$, which is comparable with the amplitude calibration uncertainties of KVN observations at 22~GHz. We also found that the 8\% difference in flux density is caused mainly by (a) the difference in the way of fringe phase tracking between the DiFX software correlator and the Daejeon hardware correlator, and (b) an unusual pattern (a double-layer pattern) of the amplitude correlation output from the Daejeon correlator. The visibility amplitude loss by the double-layer pattern is as small as 3\%. We conclude that the new hardware correlator produces reasonable correlation outputs for continuum observations, which are consistent with the outputs from the DiFX software correlator.

description: This letter presents some special features of a class of integrable PDE's admitting billiard-type solutions, which set them apart from equations whose solutions are smooth, such as the KdV equation. These billiard solutions are weak solutions that are piecewise smooth and have  rst derivative discontinuities at peaks in their pro les. A connection is established between the peak locations and  nite dimensional billiard systems moving inside n-dimensional quadrics under the  eld of Hooke potentials. Points of reflection are described in terms of theta-functions and are shown to correspond to the location of peak discontinuities in the PDE's weak solutions. The dynamics of the peaks is described in the context of the algebraic-geometric approach to integrable systems.

Homogenisation On Homogeneous Spaces

description: Motivated by collapsing of Riemannian manifolds and inhomogeneous scaling of left invariant Riemannian metrics on a real Lie group $G$ with a sub-group $H$, we introduce a family of interpolation equations on $G$ with a parameter $ε>0$, interpolating hypo-elliptic diffusions on $H$ and translates of exponential maps on $G$ and examine the dynamics as $ε\to 0$. When $H$ is compact, we use the reductive homogeneous structure of Nomizu to extract a converging family of stochastic processes (converging on the time scale $\frac 1 ε$), proving the convergence of the stochastic dynamics on the orbit spaces $G/H$ and their parallel translations, providing also an estimate on the rate of the convergence in the Wasserstein distance. Their limits are not necessarily Brownian motions and are classified algebraically by a Peter Weyl's theorem for real Lie groups and geometrically using a weak notion of the naturally reductive property; the classifications allow to conclude the Markov property of the limit process. This can be considered as `taking the adiabatic limit' of the differential operators ${\mathcal L}^ε=\frac 1 ε \sum_k (A_k)^2+ \frac 1ε A_0+ Y_0$ where $Y_0, A_k$ are left invariant vector fields and $\{A_k\}$ generate the Lie-algebra of $H$.

A geometrical derivation of the Dirac equation
Creators: name: van Dam, H.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: We give a geometrical derivation of the Dirac equation by considering a spin- 1/2 particle travelling with the speed of light in a cubic spacetime lattice. The mass of the particle acts to flip the multi-component wavefunction at the lattice sites. Starting with a difference equation for the case of one spatial and one time dimensions, we generalize the approach to higher dimensions. Interactions with external electromagnetic and gravitational fields are also considered. One logical interpretation is that only at the lattice sites is the spin- 1/2 particle aware of its mass and the presence of external fields.

description: We study the behavior of two-dimensional Dirac fermions in the presence of a static long-range-correlated random vector potential. By applying an exact path integral representation for the propagator of a spinor particle we obtain asymptotics of the gauge invariant spectral function and the correlation function of the local density of states, both in the ballistic regime of sufficiently high energies. We also discuss localization properties of the random Dirac wave functions in the complementary zero energy limit and the putative localization scenario.

description: The number of embedded devices is growing, and so are the concerns about dependability and sustainability. However, the life-span of modern devices is commonly very short, due to their lack of long-term maintainability in both hardware and software. This yields an increased amount of e-waste, as the individual devices are commonly very cheap and can therefore easily be replaced in case of (partial) obsolescence. In this work, we show an operating system architecture which is designed to make embedded systems more sustainable and prepared for long-term use. To do so, we implement a general basic architecture alongside extended concepts and special features within the operating system. Our approach is based on hardware/software co-design and the opportunity to update software as well as hardware in a modular way at runtime. Therefore, logic reconfiguration of the host platform, dynamic software composition and integration, as well as formal methods for verification and portability are supported.

title: Performance is not Boolean: Supporting Scalar Configuration Variables in NFP Models

description: Non-functional properties (NFPs) such as memory requirements, timing, or energy consumption are important characteristics of embedded software systems and software product lines (SPLs) in general. Both during system design and at runtime, the goal is to optimize resource utilization (and, thus, NFPs) by appropriate system configuration or orchestration. NFP models, learned from benchmarks of various SPL configurations, allow for the prediction of these properties, thus enabling NFP-aware software configuration and runtime decisions. However, many existing approaches for automated learning of NFP models limit their scope to boolean variables. We argue that this is no longer sufficient: NFP models must accommodate scalar variables to achieve suitable accuracy when faced with today’s highly configurable software systems and variable workloads. To this end, we evaluate four regression tree-based NFP modeling approaches on eight use cases, and examine model complexity and model accuracy. We find that models with support for scalar variables achieve up to three times lower mean model error when predicting configurations that were not part of the training set. At the same time, the complexity of scalar and boolean-only models is nearly the same; only benchmarking becomes more time-intensive due to the need to explore scalar variables. We conclude that scalar-enabled models provide increased accuracy almost free of charge, and recommend using them when generating NFP models for embedded systems and workloads with scalar configuration variables.
Dynamic and diffusive instabilities in core collapse supernovae

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: The instabilities that are believed to play an important role in the supernova mechanism are reviewed. We then investigate the dynamics of two of these instabilities, prompt convection and neutron fingers, and its consequences for the supernova outcome. We find that prompt convection occurs immediately after shock propagation and is primarily entropy driven. A number of detailed one-dimensional spherically symmetric simulations of prompt convection are performed using a mixing length algorithm in a code coupling the core hydrodynamics with multigroup flux-limited diffusion of neutrinos of all types. We find that prompt convection does not have a significant effect on the neutrino luminosities or spectra and, furthermore, that the core is not amenable to shock revival at this time. Consequently, we do not find that prompt convection is important for the supernova mechanism. Our analysis of neutron fingers begins with a simple model of doubly diffusive instabilities, applicable to salt and water, and is then extended to describe matter and neutrinos in a postshock core. The equations describing the stability of the latter are nonlinear, requiring a numerical approach. However, on general grounds, we find that, in the usual thermodynamic setting that gets established beneath the neutrinospheres in the postshock core, there is a critical value of Yℓ, depending on ϱ and s, below which matter is stable to doubly diffusive instabilities. Above this critical value, numerous numerical experiments show that the postshock core is most likely stable or, at worst, unstable to semiconvection rather than neutron fingers. We therefore conclude that the core is unlikely at any time to be unstable to neutron fingers and, consequently, that the latter play no role in the supernova mechanism.

description: Given the existence of many change detection algorithms, each with its own peculiarities and strengths, we propose a combination strategy, that we termed IUTIS (In Unity There Is Strength), based on a genetic Programming framework. This combination strategy is aimed at leveraging the strengths of the algorithms and compensate for their weakness. In this paper we show our findings in applying the proposed strategy in two different scenarios. The first scenario is purely performance-based. The second scenario performance and efficiency must be balanced. Results demonstrate that starting from simple algorithms we can achieve comparable results with respect to more complex state-of-the-art change detection algorithms, while keeping the computational complexity affordable for real-time applications.

description: Faulty, vulnerable or malicious PCIe devices can harm a system through DMA. IOMMUs can act as a security mechanism to protect against this problem by restricting the memory that is accessible via DMA. Unfortunately, there are methods to bypass the IOMMU restrictions. This paper is a survey over the currently existing bypasses and their feasibility. Current systems might be exploited from any untrusted source of DMA, which includes peripheral PCIe devices, virtual machines using SR-IOV, and even RDMA network cards, which enable remote attacks. Key strategies for the attacks presented here are Rowhammer, cache side-channels, and the exploitation of weaknesses in device drivers, e.g., for network cards, or protocols like PCIe or Ethernet OAM. An attacker can potentially achieve denial of service, the reading of confidential data, and even arbitrary code execution. Fortunately, there are some precautions to reduce the risks for affected systems.

description: X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy technique is used to better understand the charging and decharging processes of the persistent luminescence in the Cr$^{3+}$ doped AB$_2$O$_4$ spinels (A = Zn, Mg and B = Ga and Al) with low photon energy excitation by visible light. Cr K edge XANES spectra have been simulated for different near neighbour environments around the Cr$^{3+}$ recombination centres and compared with the experimental curve. In Cr$^{3+}$:ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ compound, the Cr$^{3+}$ local structure corresponds mostly to that of a normal spinel ($\sim$70\%), while the rest comprises of distorted octahedral environment arising from cationic site inversion and a contribution from chromium clustering. This local structure is strongly different in Cr$^{3+}$:MgGa$_2$O$_4$ and Cr$^{3+}$:ZnAl$_2$O$_4$ where, for both cases, chromium clustering represents the main contribution. The strong correlation between the intensity of persistent luminescence and \% of Cr in clusters leads us to infer that presence of Cr clusters is responsible for decrease of the intensity of the visible light induced persistent luminescence in the Cr$^{3+}$ doped AB$_2$O$_4$ spinels.

Additive manufacturing

description: Lithium-Ion Batteries (Li-ion batteries or LIBs) have been extensively used in a wide variety of industrial applications and consumer electronics. Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing (3DP) techniques have evolved to allow the fabrication of complex structures of various compositions in a wide range of applications.
 The objective of the thesis is to investigate the application of 3DP to fabricate a LIB, using a modified process from the literature [1]. The ultimate goal is to improve the electrochemical performances of LIBs while maintaining design flexibility with a 3D printed 3D architecture.
 In this research, both the cathode and anode in the form of specifically formulated slurry were extruded into filaments using a high-temperature pellet-based extruder. Specifically, filament composites made of graphite and Polylactic Acid (PLA) were fabricated and tested to produce anodes. Investigations on two other types of PLA-based filament composites respectively made of Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) and Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) were also conducted to produce cathodes. Several filaments with various materials ratios were formulated in order to optimize printability and battery capacities. Finally, flat battery electrode disks similar to conventional electrodes were fabricated using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process and assembled in half-cells and full cells. Finally, the electrochemical properties of half cells and full cells were characterized. Additionally, in parallel to the experiment, a 1-D finite element (FE) model was developed to understand the electrochemical performance of the anode half-cells made of graphite. Moreover, a simplified machine learning (ML) model through the Gaussian Process Regression was used to predict the voltage of a certain half-cell based on input parameters such as charge and discharge capacity.
 The results of this research showed that 3D printing technology is capable to fabricate LIBs. For the 3D printed LIB, cells have improved electrochemical properties by increasing the material content of active materials (i.e., graphite, LMO, and NMC) within the PLA matrix, along with incorporating a plasticizer material. The FE model of graphite anode showed a similar trend of discharge curve as the experiment. Finally, the ML model demonstrated a reasonably good prediction of charge and discharge voltages.

description: Exercise is essential for health, yet the amount, duration, and intensity that individuals engage in is strikingly variable, even under prescription. Our focus was to identify the locations and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling genetic predisposition for exercise-related traits utilizing a large advanced intercross line (AIL) of mice. This AIL (G4) population originated from a reciprocal cross between mice with genetic propensity for increased voluntary exercise (HR, selectively bred for increased wheel running) and the inbred strain C57BL/6J. After adjusting for family structure, we detected 32 significant and 13 suggestive QTL representing both daily running traits (distance, duration, average speed, and maximum speed) and the mean of these traits on days 5 and 6 (the selection criteria for HR) of a 6-day test conducted at 8 weeks of age, with many colocalizing to similar genomic regions. Additionally, 7 significant and 5 suggestive QTL were observed for the slope and intercept of a linear regression across all 6 days of running, some representing a combination of the daily traits. We also observed 2 significant and 2 suggestive QTL for body mass prior to exercise. These results, using a well-defined animal model, reinforce a genetic basis for the predisposition to engage in voluntary exercise, dissect this predisposition into daily segments across a continuous time period, and present unique QTL that may provide insight into the initiation, continuation, and temporal pattern of voluntary activity in mammals.

description: Consider the definition E of quasilocal energy stemming from the Hamilton-Jacobi method as applied to the canonical form of the gravitational action. We examine E in the standard “small-sphere limit,” first considered by Horowitz and Schmidt in their examination of Hawking’s quasilocal mass. By the term small sphere we mean a cut S(r), level in an affine radius r, of the lightcone Np belonging to a generic spacetime point p. As a power series in r, we compute the energy E of the gravitational and matter fields on a spacelike hypersurface Σ spanning S(r). Much of our analysis concerns conceptual and technical issues associated with assigning the zero-point of the energy. For the smallsphere limit, we argue that the correct zero-point is obtained via a “lightcone reference,” which stems from a certain isometric embedding of S(r) into a genuine lightcone of Minkowski spacetime. Choosing this zero-point, we find the following results: (i) in the presence of matter E = 4/3πr3[Tμvuμuv]|p + O(r4) and (ii) in vacuo E = 1/90r5[TμvλKuμuvuλuK]|p + O(r6). Here, uμ is a unit, future-pointing, timelike vector in the tangent space at p (which defines the choice of affine radius); Tμv is the matter stress-energy-momentum tensor; TμvλK is the Bel-Robinson gravitational super stress-energy-momentum tensor; and |p denotes “restriction to p.” Hawking’s quasilocal mass expression agrees with the results (i) and (ii) up to and including the first non-trivial order in the affine radius. The non-vacuum result (i) has the expected form based on the results of Newtonian potential theory.

description: Young people who attend intensive alcohol and other drug (AoD) treatment commonly do so more than once. This paper aims to understand precipitators, enablers and barriers to young people's re-engagement in programs. Data come from a longitudinal qualitative study involving three waves of interviews with Australian young people recruited while attending intensive AoD programs (n = 38 at wave 1). 
We found that young people's ambitions for what they might achieve with a new stay and capacity to benefit from programs, evolved. Skills learnt in earlier stays or changed life circumstances often helped them achieve better outcomes subsequently. Ongoing contact with an AoD worker was the most important enabler to service re-engagement. 
Across the span of a year, we saw most young people in our study sample develop a stronger sense of wellbeing and control over substance use. While researchers tend to focus on evaluating outcomes associated with single stays at specific programs, young people think about their trajectories towards managing substance use and their lives as occurring more holistically, supported by engagements with a range of services. We argue that the notion of incremental treatment is useful in depicting the synergistic effects of service engagement over time.

description: Parallel and concurrent design has become paramount to achieving good performance in the era of multi-socket and multi-core architectures. Thread pools often play a crucial role in system software but finding the right number of threads is a tedious task, which often falls on the users to fine-tune this parameter. The best setting is not only different per application, but can also vary with the workload. We believe this decision should be made at the level of the operating system and offered as a service to benefit from metrics the kernel collects on the application performance. In this paper, we present a first step towards this vision in the form of a self-adaptive thread pool which uses OS-metrics to automatically control the optimal number of threads over time.
Supplemental text, tables and figures from How pigeons couple three-dimensional elbow and wrist motion to morph their wings

description: Birds change the shape and area of their wings to an exceptional degree, surpassing insects, bats and aircraft in their ability to morph their wings for a variety of tasks. This morphing is governed by a musculoskeletal system, which couples elbow and wrist motion. Since the discovery of this effect in 1839, the planar ‘drawing parallels’ mechanism has been used to explain the coupling. Remarkably, this mechanism has never been corroborated from quantitative motion data. Therefore, we measured how the wing skeleton of a pigeon (Columba livia) moves during morphing. Despite earlier planar assumptions, we found that the skeletal motion paths are highly three-dimensional and do not lie in the anatomical plane, ruling out the ‘drawing parallels’ mechanism. Furthermore, μCT scans in seven consecutive poses show how the two wrist bones contribute to morphing, particularly the sliding ulnare. From these data, we infer the joint types for all six bones that form the wing morphing mechanism and corroborate the most parsimonious mechanism based on least-squares error minimization. Remarkably, the algorithm shows that all optimal four-bar mechanisms either lock, unable to track the highly three-dimensional bone motion paths, or require the radius and ulna to cross for accuracy, which is anatomically unrealistic. In contrast, the algorithm finds that a six-bar mechanism recreates the measured motion accurately with a parallel radius and ulna and a sliding ulnare. This revises our mechanistic understanding of how birds morph their wings, and offers quantitative inspiration for engineering morphing wings.

description: The name Mesophyllum erubescens has been applied to protuberant rhodolith specimens which sometimes occur abundantly, as well as to encrusting specimens in tropical and temperate waters in the Western Pacific, Indian and Western Atlantic Oceans. A DNA sequence, representing about 20% of the rbcL gene, was obtained from the 140 year old holotype specimen collected in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago by the Challenger Expedition. This sequence was identical to field-collected topotype specimens as well as to specimens ranging south along the coast of Brazil. Sequences for psbA from these same Brazilian specimens and specimens from the east coast of Mexico were identical or differed by 1 base pair. In contrast, specimens called M. erubescens based on morpho-anatomical characters in the Pacific Ocean differed from Western Atlantic Ocean specimens by 2.5–13.1%, indicating that these represent numerous distinct species. All reports of non-geniculate coralline species said to be widely distributed across different oceans or in different biogeographic provinces based on morpho-anatomical characters need to be verified by DNA sequences

description: In this paper, the relationship between notions of observability for continuous-time nonlinear system related to distinguishability, observability rank condition and K-function has been investigated. It is proved that an autonomous nonlinear system that is observable in both distinguishability and rank condition sense permits an observation window of finite width, and it is possible to construct a K-function related to observability for such system.
