description: The ability of a perception system to discern what is important in a scene and what is not is an invaluable asset, with multiple applications in object recognition, people detection and SLAM, among others. In this paper, we aim to analyze all sensory data available to separate a scene into a few physically meaningful parts, which we term structure, while discarding background clutter. In particular, we consider the combination of image and range data, and base our decision in both appearance and 3D shape. Our main contribution is the development of a framework to perform scene segmentation that preserves physical objects using multi-modal data. We combine image and range data using a novel mid-level fusion technique based on the concept of regions that avoids any pixel-level correspondences between data sources. We associate groups of pixels with 3D points into multi-modal regions that we term regionlets, and measure the structure-ness of each regionlet using simple, bottom-up cues from image and range features. We show that the highest-ranked regionlets correspond to the most prominent objects in the scene. We verify the validity of our approach on 105 scenes of household environments.

description: The use of interleukin-7 (IL-7) as an immunorestorative therapeutic has proven effective in HIV infection, cancer and bone marrow transplantation. Mediating its activity through membrane-bound IL-7 receptor α (mCD127), IL-7 therapy increases T-cell numbers and survival. A soluble form, sCD127, is found in plasma, and we have previously identified increased plasma sCD127 concentrations in HIV infection. Furthermore, patients with high sCD127 exhibited the best viral control, implicating a role for IL-7 or sCD127 directly in improved virologic/immunologic outcomes. The role of the cytokine IL-7 in elevating sCD127 levels was addressed here through assessment of retrospective samples obtained from SIV-infected antiretroviral (ART)-treated Rhesus macaques. IL-7 was administered in clustered weekly doses, allowing for an assessment prior, during and following IL-7 administration. The levels of sCD127 remained relatively unchanged during both early SIV infection and following initiation of ART. However, treatment with IL-7 increased sCD127 concentrations in most animals, transiently or persistently, paralleling increased T-cell numbers, correlating significantly with CD8+ T-cell levels. In addition, proliferating CD4+ or CD8+ T-cells (measured by Ki67) increased in association with elevated sCD127 concentrations. Finally, a high concentration of sCD127 in IL7-treated animals was associated with increased retention of T-cells (measured by BrDU). In addition, a lack, or loss of viral control was associated with more pronounced and frequent elevations in plasma sCD127 concentrations with IL-7 therapy. In summary, plasma sCD127 levels in SIV-infected ART-treated macaques was associated with therapeutic IL-7 administration, with higher sCD127 levels in macaques demonstrating the best T-cell responses. This study furthers our knowledge regarding the interrelationship between increased IL-7 levels and elevated sCD127 levels that may have implications for future IL-7 immunotherapeutic approaches in HIV-infected patients.

description: We study gauge-mediated theories containing several messengers with the most general SU(5)-invariant mass and supersymmetry-breaking parameters. We show that these theories are predictive, containing only two relevant parameters more than the minimal gauge-mediated model. Hypercharge D-terms can contribute significantly to the right-handed charged sleptons and bring them closer in mass to the left-handed sleptons. The messenger masses must be invariant under either SU(5) or a ``messenger parity" to avoid spontaneous breaking of charge conservation.

description: Reactionary delays that propagate from a primary source throughout train journeys are an immediate concern for British railway systems. Complex non-linear interactions between various spatiotemporal variables govern the propagation of these delays which can avalanche throughout railway network causing further severe disruptions. This paper introduces several machine learning (ML) techniques alongside data mining processes to create a framework that predicts key performance indicators (KPIs), reactionary arrival delay, reactionary departure delay, dwell time and travel time. The frameworks in this paper provide greater accuracy in predicting KPIs through state-of-the-art ML models compared to existing delay prediction systems. Further discussion on the improvements, applicability and scalability of this framework are also provided in this paper.

description: Epigenetic modifications have emerged as attractive molecular substrates that integrate extrinsic changes into the determination of cell identity. Since stroke-related brain damage releases micro-environmental cues, we examined the role of a signaling-induced epigenetic pathway, an atypical protein kinase C (aPKC)-mediated phosphorylation of CREB-binding protein (CBP), in post-stroke neurovascular remodeling. Using a knockin mouse strain (CbpS436A) where the aPKC-CBP pathway was defective, we show that disruption of the aPKC-CBP pathway in a murine focal ischemic stroke model increases the reprogramming efficiency of ischemia-activated pericytes (i-pericytes) to neural precursors. As a consequence of enhanced cellular reprogramming, CbpS436A mice show an increased transient population of locally derived neural precursors after stroke, while displaying a reduced number of i-pericytes, impaired vascular remodeling, and perturbed motor recovery during the chronic phase of stroke. Together, this study elucidates the role of the aPKC-CBP pathway in modulating neurovascular remodeling and functional recovery following focal ischemic stroke.

The non-diagonal solutions do not reduce to diagonal ones at any special limit of the free-parameters.

description: We report the discovery of the optical/infra-red counterpart of the 12.3s transient X-ray pulsar GS0834-43. We re-analysed archival ROSAT PSPC observations of GS0834-43, obtaining two new refined positions, about 14" and 18" away from the previously published one, and a new spin period measurement. Within the new error circles we found a relatively faint (V=20.1) early type reddened star (V-R=2.24). The optical spectrum shows a strong Halpha emission line. The IR observations of the field confirm the presence of an IR excess for the Halpha-emitting star (K'=11.4, J-K'=1.94) which is likely surrounded by a conspicuous circumstellar envelope. Spectroscopic and photometric data indicate a B0-2 V-IIIe spectral-type star located at a distance of 3-5kpc and confirm the Be-star/X-ray binary nature of GS0834-43.

Strengthening Schedules Through Uncertainty Analysis

description: In this paper, we describe an approach to scheduling under uncertainty that achieves scalability through a coupling of deterministic and probabilistic reasoning. Our specific focus is a class of oversubscribed scheduling problems where the goal is to maximize the reward earned by a team of agents in a distributed execution environment. There is uncertainty in both the duration and outcomes of executed activities. To ensure scalability, our solution approach takes as its starting point an initial deterministic schedule for the agents, computed using expected duration reasoning. This initial agent schedule is probabilistically analyzed to find likely points of failure, and then selectively strengthened based on this analysis. For each scheduled activity, the probability of failing and the impact that failure would have on the schedule's overall reward are calculated and used to focus schedule strengthening actions. Such actions generally entail fundamental trade-offs; for example, modifications that increase the certainty that a high-reward activity succeeds may decrease the schedule slack available to accommodate uncertainty during execution. We describe a principled approach to handling these trade-offs based on the schedule's "expected reward," using it as a metric to ensure that all schedule modifications are ultimately beneficial. Finally, we present experimental results obtained using a multi-agent simulation environment, which confirm that executing schedules strengthened in this way result in significantly higher rewards than are achieved by executing the corresponding initial schedules.
Gravitational Lensing Statistics in a Flat Universe

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The probability distribution of lens image separations is calculated for the ``standard'' gravitational lensing statistics model in an arbitrary, flat Robertson-Walker universe, where lensing galaxies are singular isothermal spheres that follow the Schechter luminosity function. In a flat universe, the probability distribution is independent of the source distribution in space and in brightness. The distribution is compared with observed multiple-image lens cases through Monte-Carlo simulations and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The predicted distribution depends on the shape of the angular selection bias used, which varies for different observations. The test result also depends on which lens systems are included in the samples. We mainly include the lens systems where a single galaxy is responsible for lensing. We find that the ``standard'' model predicts a distribution which is different from the observed one. However, the statistical significance of the discrepancy is not large enough to invalidate the ``standard'' model with high confidence. Only the radio data reject the model at the 95% confidence level, which is based on four/three lens cases. Therefore, we cannot say that the observational data reject the ``standard'' model with enough statistical confidence. However, if we take the velocity dispersion of dark matter without the conversion factor (3/2)^(1/2) from that of luminous matter, the discrepancy is quite severe, and even the ground-based optical survey data reject the ``standard'' model with > ~90% confidence.

An Analysis of Inbound Tourism in China
Creators: name: Yan, Peishuai
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: The paper is an empirical study of China’s inbound tourism industry during the period 1980-2016. The condition of the industry is discussed, and an interpretation of statistics on the development of the industry is offered. The linear regression models, which link foreign exchange revenue, the number of foreign tourists and per tourist revenue with determinants such as the infrastructure of the tourism industry and the characteristics of tourists, are specified and estimated with panel data. The results show that real GDP per capita and relative PPPs do have a significant impact on foreign exchange revenue and the number of foreign tourists. However, the coefficient of the relative PPP is negative, which is inconsistent with expectations. Some of the tourism infrastructure variables also have a significant impact on the dependent variables.

description: In an adversarial multi-robot task, such as playing robot soccer, decisions for team and single robot behavior must be made quickly to take advantage of short-term fortuitous events when they occur. When no such opportunities exist, the team must execute sequences of coordinated action across team members that increases the likelihood of future opportunities. We have developed a hierarchical architecture, called STP, to control an autonomous team of robots operating in an adversarial environment. STP consists of Skills for executing the low-level actions that make up robot behavior, Tactics for determining what skills to execute, and Plays for coordinating synchronized activity amongst team members. Our STP architecture combines each of these components to achieve autonomous team control. Moreover, the STP hierarchy allows for fast team response in adversarial environments while carrying out actions with longer goals. In this article, we present our STP architecture for controlling an autonomous robot team in a dynamic adversarial task that allows for coordinated team activity towards long-term goals, with the ability to respond rapidly to dynamic events. Secondly, we present the sub-component of skills and tactics as a generalized, single-robot control hierarchy for hierarchical problem decomposition with flexible control policy implementation and reuse. Thirdly, we contribute our play techniques as a generalized method for encoding and synchronizing team behavior, providing multiple competing team responses, and for supporting effective strategy adaptation against opponent teams. STP has been fully implemented on a robot platform and thoroughly tested against a variety of unknown opponent teams under in a number of RoboCup robot soccer competitions. We present these competition results as a mechanism to analyze the performance of STP in a real setting.

description: We study the propagation of cosmic rays generated by sources residing inside superbubbles. We show that the enhanced magnetic field in the bubble wall leads to an increase of the interior cosmic ray density. Because of the large matter density in the wall, the probability for cosmic ray interactions on gas peaks there. As a result, the walls of superbubbles located near young cosmic ray sources emit efficiently neutrinos. We apply this scenario to the Loop~I and Local Superbubble: These bubbles are sufficiently near such that cosmic rays from a young source as Vela interacting in the bubble wall can generate a substantial fraction of the observed astrophysical high-energy neutrino flux below $\sim$ few $\times 100$ TeV.

description: Using overdamped Brownian dynamics simulations we investigate the isotropic-nematic (IN) transition of self-propelled rods in three spatial dimensions. For two well-known model systems (Gay-Berne potential and hard spherocylinders) we find that turning on activity moves to higher densities the phase boundary separating an isotropic phase from a (nonpolar) nematic phase. This active IN phase boundary is distinct from the boundary between isotropic and polar-cluster states previously reported in two-dimensional simulation studies and, unlike the latter, is not sensitive to the system size. We thus identify a generic feature of anisotropic active particles in three dimensions.

description: Magnetic layered van der Waals crystals are an emerging class of materials giving access to new physical phenomena, as illustrated by the recent observation of 2D ferromagnetism in Cr2Ge2Te6 and CrI3. Of particular interest in semiconductors is the interplay between magnetism and transport, which has remained unexplored. Here we report first magneto-transport measurements on exfoliated CrI3 crystals. We find that tunneling conduction in the direction perpendicular to the crystalline planes exhibits a magnetoresistance as large as 10 000 %. The evolution of the magnetoresistance with magnetic field and temperature reveals that the phenomenon originates from multiple transitions to different magnetic states, whose possible microscopic nature is discussed on the basis of all existing experimental observations. This observed dependence of the conductance of a tunnel barrier on its magnetic state is a new phenomenon that demonstrates the presence of a strong coupling between transport and magnetism in magnetic van der Waals semiconductors.

description: The modular distributed manipulator system (MDMS) is a novel materials handling system which is a fixed array of actuated wheels capable of inducing arbitrary motions in the plane. The wheels transport and manipulate objects that rest on the array. The motion of the object is determined by a combination of object weight distribution, actuator dynamics, speed control law, and friction between the wheels and the manipulated object. This work focuses on a stick-slip friction model and its impact on the dynamics of an object on the array. Factors such as coefficient of friction and object size and weight determine which wheels roll and which wheels slide relative to the object. The paper determines the ranges of parameters for which all wheels are in either sliding contact or rolling contact. Simulations are performed to demonstrate the dynamics of the system

description: Fluorescent excitation of spectral lines is demonstrated as a function of temperature-luminosity and the distance of the emitting region from the central stars of planetary nebulae. The electron densities and temperatures are determined, and the method is exemplified through a detailed analysis of spectral observations of a high excitation PN, NGC 6741, observed by Hyung and Aller(1997). Fluorescence should also be important in the determination of element abundances. It is suggested that the method could be generally applied to determine or constrain the luminosity and the region of spectral emission in other intensively radiative sources such as novae, supernovae, and active galactic nuclei.

Electroweak baryogenesis and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
Creators: name: Delepine, D.

description: In principle, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe can be generated at the electroweak phase transition but the experimental lower limit on the Higgs mass seems to rule out a Standard Model scenario. However, it has been shown recently that in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the electroweak phase transition can be a strong enough first order one for baryogenesis if the mass of one top squark is close to or smaller than the top mass.

Understanding and Countering Russia's Information Warfare
Creators: name: Pryhara, Iryna
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: In 2016, the world was shocked to hear that Russia meddled in American politics. The media raised fears of a new kind of information war. But those who have previously observed Russia’s behavior know that its use of information as a weapon is not new. Russia has been conducting information operations in Ukraine since the Euromaidan protests. The roots of these operations reach back to the Soviet times. However, the Kremlin has recently adapted and expanded them for contemporary use. Nowadays, Russia spreads misinformation using a large number of tools to various audiences: domestic (in Russia), Russian speakers in Ukraine and other post-Soviet countries, and international. In some cases, Russia’s goals are to advance its geopolitical agenda. In other cases, it aims to undermine the liberal order, subvert democracy and polarize Western societies. This research paper explains the concept of Russia’s information warfare, identifies the main narratives and tools used by Russia’s information operations in Ukraine and discusses information war within the broader concept of hybrid war. It then looks at how Ukraine responded to Russia’s activities through a number of government and non-government initiatives. The paper also discusses the challenges Russia’s information poses for the international community and provides a list of feasible recommendations that could help Western countries counter this form of warfare.

description: The coherent control of optical phonons has been experimentally demonstrated in various physical systems. While the transient dynamics for optical phonons can be explained by phenomenological models, the coherent control experiment cannot be explained due to the quantum interference. Here, we theoretically propose the generation and detection processes of the optical phonons and experimentally confirm our theoretical model using the diamond optical phonon by the double-pump-probe type experiment.

description: In this paper we give a very simple proof of the existence and plenitude of Runge tubes in $\mathbb C^n$ $(n>1)$ and, more generally, in Stein manifolds with the density property. We show in particular that for any algebraic submanifold $A$ of codimension at least two in a complex Euclidean space $\mathbb C^n$, the normal bundle of $A$ in $\mathbb C^n$ admits a holomorphic embedding onto a Runge domain in $\mathbb C^n$ which agrees with the inclusion map $A\hookrightarrow \mathbb C^n$ on the zero section.

Accretion in Gravitationally Contracting Clouds
Creators: name: Tomisaka, Kohji
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Accretion flow in a contracting magnetized isothermal cloud was studied using magnetohydrodynamical simulations and a nested grid technique. First, the interstellar magnetized cloud experiences a ``runaway collapse'' phase, in which the central density increases drastically within a finite time scale. Finally, it enters an accretion phase, in which inflowing matter accretes onto a central high-density disk or a new-born star. We found that the accretion rate reaches (4 -- 40) $\times c_s^3/G$, where $c_s$ and $G$ represent the isothermal sound speed and the gravitational constant, respectively. This is much larger than the standard accretion rate of $0.975c_s^3/G$ for a hydrostatic isothermal spherical cloud (Shu 1977, AAA19.065.044). Due to the effect of an extra infall velocity achieved in the runaway phase ($\sim 2 c_s$), the accretion rate is boosted. This rate declines with time in contrast to Shu's solution, but keeps $\gtsim 2.5 c_s^3/G$. The observed gas infall rate around proto-stars such as L1551 IRS 5 and HL Tau is also discussed.

Canada’s Trade Policy Options under Donald Trump: NAFTA’s rules of origin, Canada U.S. security perimeter, and Canada’s geographical trade diversification opportunities
Creators: name: Georges, Patrick
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: This paper analyses the trade policy options of Canada under Trump and reviews some arguments that have been made by economists and others in the current debate surrounding U.S. return to protectionism and mercantilism. For Canada, both imports and exports are vital, and trade with the U.S. and with the rest of the world is of key importance. The new mercantilist position of the U.S. administration under Trump requires Canada to reflect on how to communicate the Canada-U.S. trade relation in terms of win-win strategies. A good starting point for this exercise, however, is to emphasize that NAFTA, as a trade preferential arrangement, is not as valuable as it used to be in the 1990s because NAFTA margins of preferences are no more sufficiently attractive to offset the cost of complying with NAFTA Rules of Origins requirements. Second, Canada-U.S. border security measures introduced after the terrorist attacks of 2001 have also offset NAFTA’s tariff preferences. Finally, the paper discusses the benefits of diversifying Canada’s trade geographically in a world where North America has become a smaller share of the global pie.
Testing population synthesis models with globular cluster colors

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We have measured an extensive set of UBVRIJHK colors for M31 globular clusters [Barmby et al. 2000]. We compare the predicted simple stellar population colors of three population synthesis models to the intrinsic colors of Galactic and M31 globular clusters. The best-fitting models fit the cluster colors very well -- the weighted mean color offsets are all < 0.05 mag. The most significant offsets between model and data are in the U and B passbands; these are not unexpected and are likely due to problems with the spectral libraries used by the models. The metal-rich clusters ([Fe/H] > -0.8) are best fit by young (8 Gyr) models, while the metal-poor clusters are best fit by older (12--16 Gyr) models. If this range of globular cluster ages is correct, it implies that conditions for cluster formation must have existed for a substantial fraction of the galaxies' lifetimes.

Star Cluster Formation in Cosmological Simulations. II. Effects of Star Formation Efficiency and Stellar Feedback

description: The implementation of star formation and stellar feedback in cosmological simulations plays a critical role in shaping galaxy properties. In the first paper of the series, we presented a new method to model star formation as a collection of star clusters. In this paper, we improve the algorithm by eliminating accretion gaps, boosting momentum feedback, and introducing a subgrid initial bound fraction, $f_i$, that distinguishes cluster mass from stellar particle mass. We perform a suite of simulations with different star formation efficiency per freefall time $ε_{\rm ff}$ and supernova momentum feedback intensity $f_{\rm boost}$. We find that the star formation history of a Milky Way-sized galaxy is sensitive to $f_{\rm boost}$, which allows us to constrain its value, $f_{\rm boost}\approx5$, in the current simulation setup. Changing $ε_{\rm ff}$ from a few percent to 200\% has little effect on global galaxy properties. However, on smaller scales, the properties of star clusters are very sensitive to $ε_{\rm ff}$. We find that $f_i$ increases with $ε_{\rm ff}$ and cluster mass. Through the dependence on $f_i$, the shape of the cluster initial mass function varies strongly with $ε_{\rm ff}$. The fraction of clustered star formation and maximum cluster mass increase with the star formation rate surface density, with the normalization of both relations dependent on $ε_{\rm ff}$. The cluster formation timescale systematically decreases with increasing $ε_{\rm ff}$. Local variations in the gas accretion history lead to a 0.25~dex scatter for the integral cluster formation efficiency. Joint constraints from all the observables prefer the runs that produce a median integral efficiency of 16\%.

description: This paper describes the navigation system used on a prototype sun-synchronous robot. Sun-synchrony is a concept that will enable exploration missions by solarpowered rovers that could last months or years. This paper presents navigation algorithms developed for traversing natural terrain robustly. The novel elements of this work are the refinements necessary to transform laboratory-demonstrated technologies into a form useful for robust, sun-synchronous exploration. Results of a field experiment in the Canadian Arctic, where the robot traversed 6.1km, 90% autonomously, are also presented.

description: The analysis of eight EXOSAT X-ray lightcurves of six active galactic nuclei by nonlinear prediction methods indicates that the observed short time-scale variability is truly stochastic and is not caused by deterministic chaos. This result favors X-ray emission models with mutliple centers of production of hot, possibly relativistic electrons.
