description: We report the estimation of jet transport coefficient, $\hat{q}$ for quark- and gluon-initiated jets using a simple quasi-particle model in absence and presence of magnetic field. This model introduces a temperature and magnetic field-dependent degeneracy factor of partons, which is tuned by fitting the entropy density of lattice quantum chromodynamics data. At a finite magnetic field, $\hat{q}$ for quark jets splits into parallel and perpendicular components whose magnetic field dependence comes from two sources: the field-dependent degeneracy factor and the phase space part guided from the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio. Due to the electrically neutral nature of gluons, the estimation of $\hat{q}$ for gluon jets is affected only by the field-dependent degeneracy factor. In presence of a finite magnetic field, we find a significant enhancement in $\hat{q}$ for both quark- and gluon-initiated jets at low temperature, which gradually decreases towards high temperature. We compare the obtained results with the earlier calculations based on the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, and a qualitatively similar trend is observed. The change in $\hat{q}$ in presence of magnetic field is, however, quantitatively different for quark- and gluon-initiated jets. This is an interesting observation which can be explored experimentally to verify the effect of magnetic field on $\hat{q}$.

description: Just as law itself, in trying to speak for all persons, ends up silencing those without power, feminist legal theory is in danger of silencing those who have traditionally been kept from speaking, or who have been ignored when they spoke. . . In May of 1991, I was caught up in the last-minute preparations for spending my summer in South Africa on a human rights internship. While much of the preparation involved the details of a visa and plane tickets, the most important part revolved around planning for the work I would do there and deciding just what I wanted to take out of it. I had chosen to work with the Black Sash Legal Advice Office in Johannesburg because I knew it would provide me the opportunity to speak directly with African” women, to find out what they faced, how they felt, what they hoped to change in their lives, and how they hoped to effect that change. This information, I decided, would form the basis for an article on the conditions of African women in South Africa.

description: We investigate the relaxation dynamics of a dense monolayer of bidisperse beads by analyzing the experimental data previously obtained in a fluidized bed. We show that the dynamics is formed by elementary relaxation events called cage jumps. These aggregate on a very short time into clusters. Increasing the packing fraction makes the spatio-temporal organization of the clusters evolve from a rather scattered and random distribution towards a collection of sparse and large events, called avalanches. The avalanche process is a manifestation of dynamical facilitation. The study of its evolution with density reveals that dynamical facilitation becomes less conserved and play a lesser role for the structural relaxation approaching the granular glass transition.

Two Women Attorneys and Country Practice

Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 1992

description: Legal theorists who believe there is an “ethic of care” which imbues a female problem-solving methodology have asked whether the entry of women into the legal profession will change the nature of law practice. Feminist scholars have contrasted “female methodology” to traditional legal problem solving and defined the former as taking into account the context of the problem rather than relying on formal procedure and rules; being con- scious of the ongoing relationships of the parties rather than simply relying on a rights-based analysis; and being holistic in developing creative solutions rather than assuming polar results. There is debate over the cause of the ethic of care, whether it is universally applicable to women other than white, middle-class, heterosexual women, and whether it is in women’s best interest to advocate that an ethic of care exists. This last question arises because the ethic of care assumes that female is different from-male, and some theorists fear “different” connotes “inferior.”

Feminist Theory in Law: The Difference It Makes
Creators: name: Fineman, Marth Albertson
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 1992

description: This essay is a consideration of the feminist project in law and two con- temporary legal feminist approaches to the historical construction of women as “different”-a characterization that has had implications in regard to the way in which women are understood as objects and subjects of law. These competing feminist responses are based on similar conclu- sions about women’s uneasy relationship to law as well as to other institutions of power in our society. They differ, however, in their analyses of the nature and extent of the difference between women and men and the conceptual and theoretical implications of differences. Until fairly recently, legal feminism was primarily an equality-based strategy, which assumed no legally relevant differences between men and women. This emphasis was perhaps determined by the many ways in which the law historically both facilitated and condoned women’s exclusion from the public (therefore, overtly powerful) aspects of society. Difference was the rationale and the justification for this exclusion which was based on the belief that women’s unique biological role demanded their protection from the rigors of public life. It was no surprise, therefore, that when significant numbers of women began to make inroads into public institutions such as the law, they sought to dismantle the ideology which had excluded them-assimilation became the goal and equality the articulated standard.

description: We prove the local well-posedness of the 3D free-boundary incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with surface tension, which describe the motion of a perfect conducting fluid in an electromagnetic field. We adapt the ideas developed in the remarkable paper [11] by Coutand and Shkoller to generate an approximate problem with artificial viscosity indexed by $κ>0$ whose solution converges to that of the MHD equations as $κ\to 0$. However, the local well-posedness of the MHD equations is no easy consequence of Euler equations thanks to the strong coupling between the velocity and magnetic fields. This paper is the continuation of the second and third authors' previous work [38] in which the a priori energy estimate for incompressible free-boundary MHD with surface tension is established. But the existence is not a trivial consequence of the a priori estimate as it cannot be adapted directly to the approximate problem due to the loss of the symmetric structure.

description: Analytical solutions of the edge states were obtained for the (N, 0) type carbon nanotubes with distorted ending bonds. It was found that the edge states are mixed via the distortion. The total energies for N=5 and N>=7 are lower in the asymmetric configurations of ending bonds than those having axial rotation symmetry. Thereby the symmetry is breaking spontaneously. The results imply that the symmetry of electronic states at the apex depends on the occupation; the electron density pattern at the apex could change dramatically and could be controlled by applying an external field.

description: Recent neutron-diffraction experiments in honeycomb CrI$_3$ quasi-2D ferromagnets have evinced the existence of a gap at the Dirac point in their spin-wave spectra. The existence of this gap has been attributed to strong in-plane Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya or Kitaev (DM/K) interactions and suggested to set the stage for topologically protected edge states to sustain non-dissipative spin transport. We perform state-of-the-art simulations of the spin-wave spectra in monolayer CrI$_3$, based on time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory (TDDFpT) and fully accounting for spin-orbit couplings (SOC) from which DM/K interactions ultimately stem. While our results are in qualitative agreement with experiments, the computed TDDFpT magnon gap at the Dirac point is found to be 0.47~meV, roughly 6 times smaller than the most recent experimental estimates, so questioning that intralayer anisotropies alone can explain the observed gap. Lattice-dynamical calculations, performed within density-functional perturbation theory (DFpT), indicate that a substantial degeneracy and a strong coupling between vibrational and magnetic excitations exist in this system, providing a possible additional gap-opening mechanism in the spin-wave spectra. In order to pursue this path, we introduce an interacting magnon-phonon Hamiltonian featuring a linear coupling between lattice and spin fluctuations, enabled by the magnetic anisotropy induced by SOC. Upon determination of the relevant interaction constants by DFpT and supercell calculations, this model allows us to propose magnon-phonon interactions as an important microscopic mechanism responsible for the enhancement of the gap in the range of $\approx 4$~meV around the Dirac point of the CrI$_3$ monolayer.

description: The nursing profession perpetuates an outdated model that fails to address the health concerns of racialized gender-diverse people. Evidence supports that this population experiences poorer health outcomes, care-avoiding habits, and incompetent healthcare providers. A literature review illuminated gaps in the nursing lens when considering gender-diverse identities outside of Whiteness. An intersectionality framework and cultural humility were used to explore the contexts in which nurses provide care. To fill this knowledge gap, the proposed research question was: How prepared are nurses to provide care to racialized gender-diverse people? A questionnaire was developed by modifying three pre-existing instruments. The online questionnaire served as a pilot feasibility study to collect preliminary baseline descriptive cross-sectional data about Ontario nurses' training, education, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about racialized gender-diverse people. Findings indicated potential gaps in training and education that may affect racialized gender-diverse peoples' healthcare. Recommendations are provided for future research and interventions.

description: The following are abstracts of selected papers presented at the Fifth Annual International Women’s Rights Action Watch (IWRAW) Conference, in New York on January 20-22,1990. IWRAWwas founded in 1985 to monitor compliance with and promote public interest in the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (“Convention”). It strives to broaden the global network of individuals and organizations monitoring compliance with the Convention and to ensure the integrity of States Parties implementation efforts. The conference celebrated the Convention’s tenth anniversary. As of the date of the conference, the Convention had been ratified by 101 nations. To date, 104 nations have ratified it. The first two days of the three day conference were devoted to discussion of the specific provisions of the Convention and to sharing news and information on efforts to implement the Convention in various countries. The third day focused on the status of reproductive rights around the world.

Women’s Rights and International Law

description: In 1945, the signers of the United Nations (U.N.) Charter reaffirmed their faith in “fundamental human rights” and included “the equal rights of men and women” in this category. It was a unique period in history for human rights in general and for women’s rights in particular. The U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, created just two years after the Charter was signed, promised international commitment to women’s rights. It convened world conferences to promote strategies for raising women’s status and to develop international treaties on women’s rights. It drafted three such treaties between 1952 and 1962: the Convention on the Political Rights of Women; the Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage and Registration of Marriages; and the Convention on the Nationality of Married Women. In 1975, the U.N. General Assembly united the principles of these Conventions in one comprehensive, nonbinding Declaration on the Elimi- nation of Discrimination Against Women. The Declaration was then ex- panded and redrafted as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (“Convention”). A comprehensive bill of rights for women, the Convention has the potential to provide an im- portant international legal mechanism for enforcing women’s rights in countries that have ratified it. The lives of many women, however, represent a sharp contrast from the equal status with men that the Convention has granted them. While the Convention is the most comprehensive treaty ever developed on the rights of women, it has several shortcomings. It fails to specifically delineate women’s rights in important areas; its enforcement mechanisms are among the weakest in international human rights treaties; and reservations entered by many states make it even less effective. Moreover, the human rights community traditionally has relied on a narrow definition of human rights, which has blinded its members to the particular ways in which women’s rights are violated. This article presents an overview of the advancement of women’s rights through the Convention. It contrasts the rights that have been obtained in theory with the current poor status of women, examines probable causes for the disparity, and suggests mechanisms to help women secure the rights they have been granted under international law.

description: We derive a scalar potential in the recently proposed N=1 supersymmetric generalization of f(R) gravity in four space-time dimensions. Any such higher-derivative supergravity is classically equivalent to the standard N=1 supergravity coupled to a chiral (matter) superfield, via a Legendre-Weyl transform in superspace. The Kaehler potential, the superpotential and the scalar potential of that theory are all governed by a single holomorphic function. We also find the conditions for the vanishing cosmological constant and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking, without fine-tuning, which define a no-scale F(R) supergravity. The F(R) supergravities are suitable for physical applications in the inflationary cosmology based on supergravity and superstrings.

We investigate the pointwise error of the Euler scheme under nonstandard assumptions imposed on the right-hand side function $f$. Namely, we assume that $f$ is globally of at most linear growth, satisfies globally one-side Lipschitz condition but it is only locally Hölder continuous. We provide a detailed error analysis of the Euler algorithm under such nonstandard regularity conditions. Moreover, we report results of numerical experiments.

Christianity, Feminism, and the Law

description: Feminists who study women and the law confront a system which re- flects the values and interests of patriarchy. Carol Smart, in discussing the power of law to disqualify women’s experience and concerns, argues that there is a “congruence between law and what might be called a ‘masculine culture,’ and that in taking on law, feminism is taking on a great deal more as well.” Since a whole constellation of forces is at work in the establish- ment and reinforcement of patriarchy, feminists must look beyond the letter of the law and examine the cultural, social, religious, and economic forces behind women’s oppression. To this end, we will consider the role of reli- gion as one of these forces, because we cannot ignore religion and still hope to understand the patriarchal legal framework in which women and men operate. The patriarchal components of most historic religions5 have largely been revealed. The result, at first glance, seems to be a clash between religion and feminism. The feminist must ask, whose purpose and goals does patriarchal religion serve? Why participate in a religion whose symbols only amplify what is already destructive for women and men? As a result, many femi- nists reject their religious traditions, concluding that they are beyond de- construction, reconstruction, and transformation. But many women, whose backgrounds represent a variety of religious heritages, have instead struggled to reconcile their identities as feminists and as members of a particular religious group.

description: We study the behavior of Donaldson's invariants of 4-manifolds based on the moduli space of anti self-dual connections (instantons) in the perturbative field theory setting where the underlying source manifold has boundary. It is well-known that these invariants take values in the instanton Floer homology groups of the boundary 3-manifold. Gluing formulae for these constructions lead to a functorial topological field theory description according to a system of axioms developed by Atiyah, which can be also regarded in the setting of perturbative quantum field theory, as it was shown by Witten, using a version of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, known today as Donaldson-Witten theory. One can actually formulate an AKSZ model which recovers this theory for a certain gauge-fixing. We consider these constructions in a perturbative quantum gauge formalism for manifolds with boundary that is compatible with cutting and gluing, called the BV-BFV formalism, which was recently developed by Cattaneo, Mnev and Reshetikhin. We prove that this theory satisfies a modified Quantum Master Equation and extend the result to a global picture when perturbing around constant background fields. Additionally, we relate these constructions to Nekrasov's partition function by treating an equivariant version of Donaldson-Witten theory in the BV formalism. Moreover, we discuss the extension, as well as the relation, to higher gauge theory and enumerative geometry methods, such as Gromov-Witten and Donaldson-Thomas theory and recall their correspondence conjecture for general Calabi-Yau 3-folds. In particular, we discuss the corresponding (relative) partition functions, defined as the generating function for the given invariants, and gluing phenomena.

Does sexual satisfaction mediate daily associations between body satisfaction and relationship satisfaction in new parent couples?
Creators: name: Fitzpatrick, Erin Tracy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Becoming parents can be an exciting yet challenging experience for couples. Many couples experience significant changes to their sexual and relationship satisfaction within the first year postpartum. Birthing parents’ and their partners’ bodies also change throughout pregnancy, leaving the postpartum as a vulnerable time for changes to body satisfaction. Research sampling community and new parent couples find links between dissatisfaction with one’s own or one’s partner’s body and poorer sexual satisfaction. Cross sectional studies have revealed that the link between body satisfaction and relationship satisfaction is explained by sexual satisfaction; however, no research has examined this longitudinally which is a stronger test of mediation. The goal of this study was to examine whether sexual satisfaction mediates associations between daily satisfaction with one’s own and one’s partner’s body and relationship satisfaction from 3- to 4-months postpartum. We hypothesized that one’s own sexual satisfaction would explain (i.e., mediate) daily associations between new parents’ satisfaction with their own and their partner’s bodies and both parents’ relationship satisfaction. New parent couples (N = 241) completed daily surveys for 21 consecutive days beginning at 3-months postpartum. On days when birthing parents reported greater satisfaction (than their average across all days) with their own or their partner’s body, they also reported higher sexual satisfaction and in turn, higher relationship satisfaction. On days when non-birthing parents reported greater satisfaction (than their average across all days) with their own or their partner’s body, they also reported higher sexual satisfaction and in turn, both parents reported higher relationship satisfaction. These findings are important because if left unaddressed, problems in couples’ sexual and romantic relationships can lead to disruptions for the entire family. Our results suggest that the effects of postpartum body satisfaction on relationship satisfaction are at least partially explained by sexual satisfaction at the daily level.

description: I’m delighted to have the opportunity to talk with you today about some important aspects of feminist legal theory. My comments will focus on the implications of feminist legal theory for legal education. Feminist legal theory has important ramifications for legal education. Feminist legal theory is theory that is connected to doing and to being. Thus, an important dimension of feminist legal theory is its interconnection with legal practice and with legal education. Here at Columbia, as well as at many other law schools, there has been much discussion concerning problems of gender bias in legal educa- tion. It is now widely acknowledged that law school courses do not ade- quately incorporate issues relating to women and women’s perspectives into the curriculum. As a result, many law professors and law students have begun to rethink every facet of the law school curriculum, particularly first-year courses, from the standpoint of gender. Today I want to suggest some contributions that feminist legal theory can make to the teaching of one of the most important courses in the first-year curriculum–Civil Procedure.

description: Asymptotic equivalence theory developed in the literature so far are only for bounded loss functions. This limits the potential applications of the theory because many commonly used loss functions in statistical inference are unbounded. In this paper we develop asymptotic equivalence results for robust nonparametric regression with unbounded loss functions. The results imply that all the Gaussian nonparametric regression procedures can be robustified in a unified way. A key step in our equivalence argument is to bin the data and then take the median of each bin. The asymptotic equivalence results have significant practical implications. To illustrate the general principles of the equivalence argument we consider two important nonparametric inference problems: robust estimation of the regression function and the estimation of a quadratic functional. In both cases easily implementable procedures are constructed and are shown to enjoy simultaneously a high degree of robustness and adaptivity. Other problems such as construction of confidence sets and nonparametric hypothesis testing can be handled in a similar fashion.

Specifically, this brief will discuss national short and long-term accommodation frameworks. Next this brief will delve into the local implementation of these programmes and review the different roles played by local authorities and third/private sector actors. This brief will close with a summary of key policy and data gaps underpinning some of these programmes. Lastly, it should be noted that while more context-specific recommendations are laid out in each country’s full report, select recommendations corresponding to each thematic section are embedded throughout the brief. GLIMER is informed by a combination of rigorous policy analysis, qualitative research with multi-party stakeholders and secondary analysis. This policy brief is reliant on policy documents, statistics and evaluations together with interviews with stakeholders from national, regional and local authorities and the third sector in all four countries. In Sweden, GLIMER members worked across the region of Skåne and the municipalities of Malmö and Eslöv, two municipalities in a close geographic distance and part of the Öresund region that connects Sweden to Denmark and continental Europe. In Italy, researchers worked in different locations covering the territory of Calabria, focusing on two main cities (Cosenza, Catanzaro) and on places with a high density of non-Italian residents (Lamezia Terme). In Cyprus, work consisted of ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth semistructured interviews with stakeholders from devolved and local government, as well as the third sector. Lastly, in Scotland consortium members worked across several locations that included both the site of Dispersal (Glasgow) as well as areas involved in the Vulnerable Person’s Resettlement Scheme (VPRS).

description: Existing economic models support the estimation of the costs and benefits of developing and evolving a Software Product Line (SPL) as compared to undertaking traditional software development approaches. In addition, Feature Diagrams (FDs) are a valuable tool to scope the domain of a SPL. This paper proposes an algorithm to calculate, from a FD, the following information for economic models: the total number of products of a SPL, the SPL homogeneity and the commonality of the SPL requirements. The algorithm running time belongs to the complexity class $O(f^42^c)$. In contrast to related work, the algorithm is free of dependencies on off-the-self tools and is generally specified for an abstract FD notation, that works as a pivot language for most of the available notations for feature modeling.

description: AIMS: To determine the Point Source Location Accuracy (PSLA) for the INTEGRAL/IBIS telescope based on analysis of archival in-flight data. METHODS: Over 40000 individual pointings (science windows) of INTEGRAL/IBIS data were analysed using the latest Off-line Science Analysis software, version 7.0. Reconstructed source positions were then compared against the most accurate positions available, determined from focusing X-ray telescopes. Since the PSLA is a strong function of source detection significance, the offsets from true position were histogrammed against significance, so that the 90% confidence limits could be determined. This has been done for both sources in the fully coded field of view (FCFOV) and partially coded field of view (PCFOV). RESULTS: The PSLA is found to have improved significantly since values derived from early mission data and software for both FCFOV and PCFOV. CONCLUSIONS: This result has implications for observers executing follow-up programs on IBIS sources since the sky area to be searched is reduced by >50% in some cases.

description: As a 1959 graduate of Columbia Law School, and a member of its faculty from 1972 until 1980, I applaud the appearance of the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law, and I am pleased to provide this introductory comment. To appreciate the currently evolving participation of women in the study and shaping of law, it is fitting to recall “the way it was,” at Columbia and elsewhere, in not yet ancient days. I will therefore present some samples of things and thinking past.

description: We extend the DeTurck trick from the classical isotropic curve shortening flow to the anisotropic setting. Here the anisotropic energy density is allowed to depend on space, which allows an interpretation in the context of Finsler metrics, giving rise to e.g.\ geodesic curvature flow in Riemannian manifolds. Assuming that the density is strictly convex and smooth, we introduce a novel weak formulation for anisotropic curve shortening flow. We then derive an optimal $H^1$--error bound for a continuous-in-time semidiscrete finite element approximation that uses piecewise linear elements. In addition, we consider some fully practical fully discrete schemes and prove their unconditional stability. Finally, we present several numerical simulations, including some convergence experiments that confirm the derived error bound, as well as applications to crystalline curvature flow and geodesic curvature flow.

Mass transfer in cool evolved binaries - Wind-mediated mass transfer
Creators: name: EL MELLAH, Ileyk
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In the late evolutionary stages of a binary, stellar winds and Roche lobe overflow can lead to significant mass transfers between the two components. The subsequent evolution of the system (orbital shrinking, nature of the remnants, chemical enrichment, etc) strongly depends on the eUiciency of this mechanism. The latter can be constrained based on observations: in short period systems where the donor star is a blue supergiant or a Be star, we can use spectro-timing, while in long period systems where the donor star is an asymptotic giant branch or a red supergiant, we can use spectro-imaging.

In my talk, I will present numerical simulations of diUerent types of mass transfers. I will show how we extract synthetic observables which can subsequently be used to confront our predictions to observations of high-mass X-ray binaries and cool evolved binaries.
Scattering Coefficients and Asymmetry Parameters derived from the Polar Nephelometer Aurora4000

description: Integrating nephelometers are in widespread use for measuring the particle scattering and hemispheric backscattering coefficients. Drawbacks of the nephelometer design are the truncation error and the non-lambertian illumination by the light source. In order to derive the scattering coefficient, data from nephelometers must be corrected for truncation and illumination errors. Corrections can be calculated using scattering theory if the particle size distribution and refractive index are known. If the particle shape differs from spheres, this method is not applicable. A new correction based on polar measurements was developed for the nephelometer Aurora4000.

description: Theoretical and computational studies of the quantum phase diagram of the one-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard model (EHM) indicate a narrow bond order wave (BOW) phase with finite magnetic gap $E_m$ for on-site repulsion $U < U^*$, the critical point, and nearest neighbor interaction $V_c \approx U/2$ near the boundary of the charge density wave (CDW) phase. Potentials with more extended interactions that retain the EHM symmetry are shown to have a less cooperative CDW transition with higher $U^*$ and wider BOW phase. Density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is used to obtain $E_m$ directly as the singlet-triplet gap, with finite $E_m$ marking the BOW boundary $V_s(U)$. The BOW/CDW boundary $V_c(U)$ is obtained from exact finite-size calculations that are consistent with previous EHM determinations. The kinetic energy or bond order provides a convenient new estimate of $U^*$ based on a metallic point at $V_c(U)$ for $U < U^*$. Tuning the BOW phase of half-filled Hubbard models with different intersite potentials indicates a ground state with large charge fluctuations and magnetic frustration. The possibility of physical realizations of a BOW phase is raised for Coulomb interactions.

DACFL: Dynamic Average Consensus Based Federated Learning in Decentralized Topology

description: Federated learning (FL) is a burgeoning distributed machine learning framework where a central parameter server (PS) coordinates many local users to train a globally consistent model. Conventional federated learning inevitably relies on a centralized topology with a PS. As a result, it will paralyze once the PS fails. To alleviate such a single point failure, especially on the PS, some existing work has provided decentralized FL (DFL) implementations like CDSGD and D-PSGD to facilitate FL in a decentralized topology. However, there are still some problems with these methods, e.g., significant divergence between users' final models in CDSGD and a network-wide model average necessity in D-PSGD. In order to solve these deficiency, this paper devises a new DFL implementation coined as DACFL, where each user trains its model using its own training data and exchanges the intermediate models with its neighbors through a symmetric and doubly stochastic matrix. The DACFL treats the progress of each user's local training as a discrete-time process and employs a first order dynamic average consensus (FODAC) method to track the \textit{average model} in the absence of the PS. In this paper, we also provide a theoretical convergence analysis of DACFL on the premise of i.i.d data to strengthen its rationality. The experimental results on MNIST, Fashion-MNIST and CIFAR-10 validate the feasibility of our solution in both time-invariant and time-varying network topologies, and declare that DACFL outperforms D-PSGD and CDSGD in most cases.

description: We study the effect of extrinsic noise in metabolic networks. We introduce external random fluctuations at the kinetic level, and show how these lead to a stochastic generalization of standard Metabolic Control Analysis. While Summation and Connectivity Theorems hold true in presence of extrinsic noise, control coefficients incorporate its effect through an explicit dependency on the noise intensity. New elasticities and response coefficients are also defined. Accordingly, the concept of control by noise is introduced as a way of tuning the systemic behaviour of metabolisms. We argue that this framework holds for intrinsic noise too, when time-scale separation is present in the system.

description: In many processes for crystalline materials such as precipitation, heteroepitaxy, alloying, and phase transformation, lattice expansion or compression of embedded domains occurs. This can significantly alter the mechanical response of the material. Typically, these phenomena are studied macroscopically, thus neglecting the underlying microscopic structure. Here we present the prototypical case of an elastic inclusion described by a mesoscale model, namely a coarse-grained phase-field crystal model. A spatially-dependent parameter is introduced into the free energy functional to control the local spacing of the lattice structure, effectively prescribing an eigenstrain. The stress field obtained for an elastic inclusion in a 2D triangular lattice is shown to match well with the analytic solution of the Eshelby inclusion problem.

Efficient Ranking of Lyndon Words and Decoding Lexicographically Minimal de Bruijn Sequence

description: We give efficient algorithms for ranking Lyndon words of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $σ$. The rank of a Lyndon word is its position in the sequence of lexicographically ordered Lyndon words of the same length. The outputs are integers of exponential size, and complexity of arithmetic operations on such large integers cannot be ignored. Our model of computations is the word-RAM, in which basic arithmetic operations on (large) numbers of size at most $σ^n$ take $O(n)$ time. Our algorithm for ranking Lyndon words makes $O(n^2)$ arithmetic operations (this would imply directly cubic time on word-RAM). However, using an algebraic approach we are able to reduce the total time complexity on the word-RAM to $O(n^2 \log σ)$. We also present an $O(n^3 \log^2 σ)$-time algorithm that generates the Lyndon word of a given length and rank in lexicographic order. Finally we use the connections between Lyndon words and lexicographically minimal de Bruijn sequences (theorem of Fredricksen and Maiorana) to develop the first polynomial-time algorithm for decoding minimal de Bruijn sequence of any rank $n$ (it determines the position of an arbitrary word of length $n$ within the de Bruijn sequence).
