description: In this paper, we are concerned with the study of the existence of fixed points for single and multi-valued three-points contractions. Namely, we first introduce a new class of single-valued mappings defined on a metric space equipped with three metrics. A fixed point theorem is established for such mappings. The obtained result recovers that established recently by the second author [J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 25 (2023) 74] for the class of single-valued mappings contracting perimeters of triangles. We next extend our study by introducing the class of multivalued three points contractions. A fixed point theorem, which is a multi-valued version of that obtained in the above reference, is established. Some examples showing the validity of our obtained results are provided.

description: We present a technique to decluster a spatial access method on a shared-nothing multi-computer architecture [DGS + 90]. We propose a software architecture with the R-tree as the underlying spatial access method, with its non-leaf levels on the 'master-server' and its leaf nodes distributed across the servers. The major contribution of our work is the study of the optimal capacity of leaf nodes, or 'chunk size' (or 'striping unit'): we express the response time on range queries as a function of the 'chunk size', and we show how to optimize it. We implemented our method on a network of workstations, using a real dataset, and we compared the experimental and the theoretical results. The conclusion is that our formula for the response time is very accurate (the maximum relative error was 29%; the typical error was in the vicinity of 10-15%). We illustrate one of the possible ways to exploit such an accurate formula, by examining several 'what-if' scenarios. One major, practical conclusion is that a chunk size of 1 page gives either optimal or close to optimal results, for a wide range of the parameters.

description: By modeling the interaction of an open quantum system with its environment through a natural generalization of the classical concept of continuous time random walk, we derive and characterize a class of non-Markovian master equations whose solution is a completely positive map. The structure of these master equations is associated with a random renewal process where each event consist in the application of a superoperator over a density matrix. Strong non-exponential decay arise by choosing different statistics of the renewal process. As examples we analyze the stochastic and averaged dynamics of simple systems that admit an analytical solution. The problem of positivity in quantum master equations induced by memory effects [S.M. Barnett and S. Stenholm, Phys. Rev. A 64, 033808 (2001)] is clarified in this context.

description: We demonstrate a dual wavelength acousto-optic deflector (AOD) designed to deflect two wavelengths to the same angles by driving with two RF frequencies. The AOD is designed as a beam scanner to address two-photon transitions in a two-dimensional array of trapped neutral Rb atoms in a quantum computer. Momentum space is used to design AODs that have the same diffraction angles for two wavelengths (780 nm and 480 nm) and have non-overlapping Bragg-matched frequency response at these wavelengths, so that there will be no crosstalk when proportional RF frequencies are applied to diffract the two wavelengths. The appropriate crystal orientation, crystal shape, transducer size, and transducer height are determined for an AOD made with a Tellurium dioxide crystal (TeO2). The designed and fabricated AOD has more than 100 resolvable spots, widely separated bandshapes for the two wavelengths within an overall octave bandwidth, spatially overlapping diffraction angles for both wavelengths (780 nm and 480 nm), and a 4 usec or less access time. Cascaded AODs in which the first device upshifts and the second downshifts allow Doppler-free scanning as required for addressing the narrow atomic resonance without detuning. We experimentally show the diffraction-limited Doppler-free scanning performance and spatial resolution of the designed AOD.

description: An artifcial two-atomic molecule, also called a double quantum dot (DQD), is an ideal system for exploring few electron physics. Spin-entanglement between just two electrons can be explored in such systems where singlet and triplet states are accessible. These two spin-states can be regarded as the two states in a quantum two-state system, a so-called singlet-triplet qubit. A very attractive material for realizing spin based qubits is the carbon nanotube (CNT), because it is expected to have a very long spin coherence time. Here we show the existence of a gate-tunable singlet-triplet qubit in a CNT DQD. We show that the CNT DQD has clear shell structures of both four and eight electrons, with the singlet-triplet qubit present in the four-electron shells. We furthermore observe inelastic cotunneling via the singlet and triplet states, which we use to probe the splitting between singlet and triplet, in good agreement with theory.

description: IceCube-Gen2, the next generation extension of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, offers a unique scientific potential for cosmic-ray physics at PeV to EeV energies complementing the main science case of neutrino astronomy. The cosmic-ray science case will be enabled by a surface array on top of an extended optical array deep in the polar ice. The optical array measures TeV muons of air showers, and the surface array primarily measures the electromagnetic shower component and low-energy muons. The design of the surface array foresees scintillation panels providing a full-efficiency threshold for near-vertical proton showers of 0.5 PeV and radio antennas increasing the measurement accuracy for the electromagnetic shower component in the energy range of the Galactic-to-extragalactic transition. Compared to IceCube, the aperture for air showers measured in coincidence with the surface and optical arrays will increase by a factor of 30, due to the larger area and angular acceptance in zenith angle. The science potential includes both, the particle physics of air showers, such as prompt muons, and the astrophysics of the highest energy Galactic cosmic-rays, enabled by the higher sensitivity for the mass composition and anisotropy of cosmic rays, and by the search for PeV photons. This proceeding summarizes the science case and design of the surface array as presented in the recently released IceCube-Gen2 Technical Design Report: https://icecube-gen2.wisc.edu/science/publications/tdr/

description: The simulation of soot evolution is a problem of relevance for the development of low-emission aero-engine combustors. Apart from detailed CFD approaches, it is of importance to develop models with modest computational cost so a large number of geometries can be explored, especially in view of the need to predict engine-out soot particle size distributions to meet future regulations. In this work, the Incompletely Stirred Reactor (ISR) theory is extended to a reactor network formulation, based on the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) combustion model. An ISR is a volume V that is inhomogeneous in terms of mixture fraction but is characterized by homogeneous conditional averages, such as temperature and soot mass fraction conditioned on the mixture fraction having a particular value. A network of ISRs (ISRN) is then deployed to separately capture soot production and oxidation regions exhibiting different degrees of micro-mixing rates and residence times, as typically observed in practical combustors. The network is positioned and clustered around the mesh of a reference CFD simulation providing the ISRN with the average flow and mixing fields. Here, the ISRN approach is demonstrated on a single sector lean-burn model combustor operating on Jet A fuel and in pilot only mode, which corresponds to conditions of a lean-burn engine at part load. The results of the ISRN are compared with data previously obtained with LES-CMC coupled with detailed chemistry for dodecane and a two-equation model for soot. The comparison provides a satisfactory assessment of the method reliability, demonstrating the ability of the ISRN approach to replicate soot emission both in terms of mean location and magnitude while ensuring high computational efficiency. The ISRN approach can consequently be used to explore soot evolution utilizing complex chemical mechanisms and comprehensive soot models that otherwise would be intractable to couple with current CFD methods. In this direction, real fuel chemistry and a detailed physicochemical sectional soot model are combined to investigate the sensitivity of ISRN predictions.

description: The origin of the second harmonic generation (SHG) from plasmonic structures remains a subject of debate. Here, we investigate SHG from gold plasmonic nanostructures by scanning nanostructures at the single-particle level to acquire two-dimensional (2D) SHG maps which are qualitatively and quantitatively compared with numerically simulated SHG maps. This approach allows us to discriminate the role played by the surface and bulk contributions to SHG. Our findings reveal that the tangential surface source contribution, often neglected in the literature, plays a dominant role and is affected by surface roughness. This is evident when comparing the SHG maps obtained from identically sized gold nanoparticles that are fabricated using physical and chemical techniques. Additionally, the normal surface source is not found to significantly impact SHG in these configurations.
Deciding Quantifier-Free Presburger Formulas Using Parameterized Solution Bounds

description: Given a formula in quantifier-free Presburger arithmetic, if it has a satisfying solution, there is one whose size, measured in bits, is polynomially bounded in the size of the formula. In this paper, we consider a special class of quantifier-free Presburger formulas in which most linear constraints are difference (separation) constraints, and the non-difference constraints are sparse. This class has been observed to commonly occur in software verification. We derive a new solution bound in terms of parameters characterizing the sparseness of linear constraints and the number of non-difference constraints, in addition to traditional measures of formula size. In particular, we show that the number of bits needed per integer variable is linear in the number of non-difference constraints and logarithmic in the number and size of non-zero coefficients in them, but is otherwise independent of the total number of linear constraints in the formula. The derived bound can be used in a decision procedure based on instantiating integer variables over a finite domain and translating the input quantifier-free Presburger formula to an equi-satisfiable Boolean formula, which is then checked using a Boolean satisfiability solver. In addition to our main theoretical result, we discuss several optimizations for deriving tighter bounds in practice. Empirical evidence indicates that our decision procedure can greatly outperform other decision procedures.

description: Money laundering is the process that intends to legalize the income derived from illicit activities, thus facilitating their entry into the monetary flow of the economy without jeopardizing their source. It is crucial to identify such activities accurately and reliably in order to enforce anti-money laundering (AML). Despite considerable efforts to AML, a large number of such activities still go undetected. Rule-based methods were first introduced and are still widely used in current detection systems. With the rise of machine learning, graph-based learning methods have gained prominence in detecting illicit accounts through the analysis of money transfer graphs. Nevertheless, these methods generally assume that the transaction graph is centralized, whereas in practice, money laundering activities usually span multiple financial institutions. Due to regulatory, legal, commercial, and customer privacy concerns, institutions tend not to share data, restricting their utility in practical usage. In this paper, we propose the first algorithm that supports performing AML over multiple institutions while protecting the security and privacy of local data. To evaluate, we construct Alipay-ECB, a real-world dataset comprising digital transactions from Alipay, the world's largest mobile payment platform, alongside transactions from E-Commerce Bank (ECB). The dataset includes over 200 million accounts and 300 million transactions, covering both intra-institution transactions and those between Alipay and ECB. This makes it the largest real-world transaction graph available for analysis. The experimental results demonstrate that our methods can effectively identify cross-institution money laundering subgroups. Additionally, experiments on synthetic datasets also demonstrate that our method is efficient, requiring only a few minutes on datasets with millions of transactions.

description: This study aimed to assess the risk of acute and late radiation-induced toxicity in patients with COVID-19. All the patients irradiated in Institut Curie from March to July 2020 were included if the first symptoms related to COVID-19 occurred no more than two months before the start of radiation therapy (RT) or 15 days after the end of RT. Twenty-nine patients were included in this analysis. Twenty-five patients had no co-morbidities (86.2%), including morbid obesity. The diagnosis of COVID-19 infection was based on a positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA test for 18 patients (62.1%), a positive serology test for three patients (10.3%), and/or radiologic findings for 12 patients (41.4%). Three patients with symptoms highly suggestive of COVID-19 were included, although they had negative biologic tests and did not have a chest CT scan. Median time from the diagnosis of COVID-19 to the onset of RT was 5.5 days. Modification of RT course due to COVID-19 status was observed in 15 patients, including four for whom RT was definitively stopped. Six patients needed hospitalization for hypoxemic lung disease requiring intensive care. The majority of patients did not experience severe (> grade 2) acute toxicity. After a median follow-up of 6 months (IQR, 1–9 months), none of the patients had unusual clinical or radiological late toxicities. The observed acute and late toxicities were ultimately similar to those observed in a population not infected with COVID-19. These results do not prompt modification of standard RT protocols for irradiation of COVID-19 patients.

description: Declassified images from the Keyhole (KH)-9 HEXAGON mapping camera system (MCS) offer fine-scale details of urban regions. However, these images have seldom been utilized in urban research due to challenges in labelling (collecting training samples), having only a single panchromatic band and classification. To tackle these limitations, this paper focuses on developing a multi-stage reconstructed historical fine-scale urban landscape (RHFUL) pipeline for KH-9 HEXAGON MCS. The proposed pipeline first integrates internalized parameters, hierarchical object-based image analysis properties and class variability to synthesize new features, abbreviated to IHC. Second, the pipeline uses a weak semi-automated supervised labelling (WSSL) approach to acquire training samples. Finally, the training samples and generated features are subjected to the SegNet deep learning architecture. The performance of each step was assessed against corresponding state-of-the-art benchmark approaches for each of synthesizing features, labelling and classification. In the proposed RHFUL pipeline, the proposed IHC provided the most salient information for urban classification, WSSL labelled urban features more accurately, and the SegNet architecture classified more accurately the urban features relative to the benchmarks. Considering the potential advantages, but also limitations of KH-9 HEXAGON MCS images, further research should be undertaken, particularly drawing on the current advances in pattern recognition techniques for contemporary digital satellite sensors.

description: This study aimed to assess the risk of acute and late radiation-induced toxicity in patients with COVID-19. All the patients irradiated in Institut Curie from March to July 2020 were included if the first symptoms related to COVID-19 occurred no more than two months before the start of radiation therapy (RT) or 15 days after the end of RT. Twenty-nine patients were included in this analysis. Twenty-five patients had no co-morbidities (86.2%), including morbid obesity. The diagnosis of COVID-19 infection was based on a positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA test for 18 patients (62.1%), a positive serology test for three patients (10.3%), and/or radiologic findings for 12 patients (41.4%). Three patients with symptoms highly suggestive of COVID-19 were included, although they had negative biologic tests and did not have a chest CT scan. Median time from the diagnosis of COVID-19 to the onset of RT was 5.5 days. Modification of RT course due to COVID-19 status was observed in 15 patients, including four for whom RT was definitively stopped. Six patients needed hospitalization for hypoxemic lung disease requiring intensive care. The majority of patients did not experience severe (> grade 2) acute toxicity. After a median follow-up of 6 months (IQR, 1 – 9 months), none of the patients had unusual clinical or radiological late toxicities. The observed acute and late toxicities were ultimately similar to those observed in a population not infected with COVID-19. These results do not prompt modification of standard RT protocols for irradiation of COVID-19 patients.

description: A 3-D scattering centre model-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR) method is proposed. Multi-level dominant scattering areas (DSAs) are generated from the test sample and model predicted target images, which can describe the target region and scattering centres distribution from coarse to fine. The DSA matching is conducted at each level using the morphological erosion operation and Euclidean distance transform. Finally, the energy of the region residuals is taken as the distance measure between the test sample and different target models so as to confirm the target label. The 3-D scattering centre model can provide very complete descriptions of the target. In addition, the designed distance measure comprehensively considers the possible nonlinear transformations between the model and test image using the morphological erosion operation and Euclidean distance transform. Experiments are performed on the electromagnetic (EM) simulated data of three military targets.

description: Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has infected millions of people and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. While COVID-19 has overwhelmed healthcare resources (e.g., healthcare personnel, testing resources, hospital beds, and ventilators) in a number of countries, limited research has been conducted to understand spatial accessibility of such resources. This study fills this gap by rapidly measuring the spatial accessibility of COVID-19 healthcare resources with a particular focus on Illinois, USA. Method: The rapid measurement is achieved by resolving computational intensity of an enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method through a parallel computing strategy based on cyberGIS (cyber geographic information science and systems). The E2SFCA has two major steps. First, it calculates a bed-to-population ratio for each hospital location. Second, it sums these ratios for residential locations where hospital locations overlap. Results: The comparison of the spatial accessibility measures for COVID-19 patients to those of population at risk identifies which geographic areas need additional healthcare resources to improve access. The results also help delineate the areas that may face a COVID-19-induced shortage of healthcare resources. The Chicagoland, particularly the southern Chicago, shows an additional need for resources. This study also identified vulnerable population residing in the areas with low spatial accessibility in Chicago. Conclusion: Rapidly measuring spatial accessibility of healthcare resources provides an improved understanding of how well the healthcare infrastructure is equipped to save people's lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings are relevant for policymakers and public health practitioners to allocate existing healthcare resources or distribute new resources for maximum access to health services.

description: Existing satellite true digital orthophoto map (TDOM) generation methods are designed for ground elevation data. Obtaining large-scale and high-precision ground 3D data is prohibitively costly, while low-precision elevation data introduces issues such as relief displacement, boundary distortion, and artefacts. Furthermore, producing TDOMs from satellite images captured under various lighting conditions can cause colour inconsistency problems. These issues impose limitations on the application and development of satellite TDOMs. In this paper, we propose a novel image-to-image approach that directly generates high-quality TDOMs from multi-view satellite images without the need for elevation data as input. Specifically, the 3D scene is efficiently represented by the volume density and colour, which are modelled utilizing a neural network. During each iteration, this 3D representation undergoes optimization by the multi-view satellite signals, employing a volume rendering formula. Finally, TDOM is produced utilizing our true ortho-volume rendering technique. Experimental results demonstrate that our TDOM achieves superior visual quality and geometry accuracy without the need for 3D elevation data.

description: This paper illustrates the use of symbolic model checking in the design of deadlock-free flexible manufacturing systems. Our verification methodology consists of the following stages. First, we extract a state machine model of the system. Second, we write the system specifications using a propositional temporal logic. Finally we use the model checker to check the state machine of the system against its requirements. When a deadlock is identified, a counterexample is automatically generated with a scenario that leads to the deadlock. The counterexample is used to design the proper operational policy that will prevent the corresponding deadlock. This verification approach allows an exhaustive search of all possible behaviors and scenarios. We designed a flexible manufacturing system capable of producing 3 types of parts with 4 machines and 3 robots. It took 8 seconds to find possible deadlocks assuming machine processing capacity of one part at a time and about 36 seconds when we increased the machine processing capacity to two parts at a time. The size of the state space was in the order of 1018 states
