description: We formulate a series of non-trivial equalities which are satisfied by all no-signaling correlations, meaning that no faster-than-light communication is allowed with the resource of these correlations. All quantum and classical correlations satisfy these equalities since they are no-signaling. By applying these equalities, we provide a general framework for solving the multipartite "guess your neighbor's input" (GYNI) game, which is naturally no-signaling but shows conversely that general no-signaling correlations are actually more non-local than those allowed by quantum mechanics. We confirm the validity of our method for number of players from 3 up to 19, thus providing convincing evidence that it works for the general case. In addition, we solve analytically the tripartite GYNI and obtain a computable measure of supra-quantum correlations. This result simplifies the defined optimization procedure to an analytic formula, thus characterizing explicitly the boundary between quantum and supra-quantum correlations. In addition, we show that the gap between quantum and no-signaling boundaries containing supra-quantum correlations can be closed by local orthogonality conditions in the tripartite case. Our results provide a computable classification of no-signaling correlations.

description: Prediction of future observations is a fundamental problem in statistics. Here we present a general approach based on the recently developed inferential model (IM) framework. We employ an IM-based technique to marginalize out the unknown parameters, yielding prior-free probabilistic prediction of future observables. Verifiable sufficient conditions are given for validity of our IM for prediction, and a variety of examples demonstrate the proposed method's performance. Thanks to its generality and ease of implementation, we expect that our IM-based method for prediction will be a useful tool for practitioners.

description: PHOTO-SENS is a project that aims to develop photonic biosensing chips as a means of allowing onset detection of pathogenic infections in aquaculture. These chips are meant to be a way for quick and simple routine testing that would enable aquaculture facilities to recognize potential outbreaks and minimize their effects. The chips detect target bacteria using short DNA sequences known as probes which are complementary to target DNA. One of the fish pathogens under consideration for the course of this project is Vagococcus salmoninarum, that is a causative agent of Vagococcosis. For this work, a primer and probe set specific to V. salmoninarum was designed. These primers and probes were then tested via qPCR for their selectivity and sensitivity and most importantly, quantification of DNA in samples using two different standard dilution series. Due to V. salmoninarum being a Gram-positive bacteria, three methods of DNA extraction were used and compared for maximum efficiency. Moreover, experiments were also conducted to mimic capture of eDNA (environmental DNA) from highly diluted water samples. Upon comparing the three DNA extraction methods, the improved 5% Chelex protocol that included rapid agitation via glass beads, yielded the highest amount of DNA that was closest to expected SQ. The detection of all samples, including very low copy number, was possible via qPCR. The first standard series which was the gBlocks standard series had the lowest detection limit of 1 copy with an efficiency of 105.8% and the second standard series that is the CFU standard series had a detection limit of 10 copies and had an efficiency of 104.2%. The filtration experiment also showed detection in diluted, filtered samples. Since detection using the designed probe was successful, the probes are therefore considered suitable for detection of Vagococcus salmoninarum in the PHOTO-SENS project.

title: Understanding Relevance in Maps through the use of Knowledge Graphs
Creators: name: Ceballos Cantú, José Pablo
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: cartography

description: The relation that the ontological and spatial dimensions have is not always evident. To better understand this relation, a tool called SeMaptics that connects the two domains were developed. Ontological mapping allows for discrete ontologies to be projected into the spatial field. Such ontologies are regularly seen in a continuous or overlapping layered format in the spatial dimension. However, integrating both spaces results in a novel method, which adds additional perspectives when designing a map.The objective is to link and map both dimensions enabling user interactions, and allowing for proper semantic probing. This exploration contains some criteria of geographical relevance. This criteria allows for better identification of high-interest areas within any given dataset.SeMaptics implements graphDB Neo4j to accommodate a graph architecture and visualization JavaScript library D3js to render knowledge graphs on the screen. Visual representations of knowledge graphs are limited by performance as the data pool grows. In this work, an isolated administrative unit in Austria is analyzed to have a balance between semantics and data quantity. Criteria that comprise geographical relevance are over-viewed in this style of mapping to understand if it is the use relevance when exploring spatial data from a semantic viewpoint.

description: C$_2$H is one of the first radicals to be detected in the interstellar medium. Its higher rotational transitions have recently become available with the Herschel Space Observatory. We aim to constrain the physical parameters of the C$_2$H emitting gas toward the Orion Bar. We analyse the C$_2$H line intensities measured toward the Orion Bar CO$^+$ Peak and Herschel/HIFI maps of C$_2$H, CH, and HCO$^+$, and a NANTEN map of [CI]. We interpret the observed C$_2$H emission using radiative transfer and PDR models. Five rotational transitions of C$_2$H have been detected in the HIFI frequency range toward the CO$^+$ peak. A single component rotational diagram gives a rotation temperature of ~64 K and a beam-averaged C$_2$H column density of 4$\times$10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$. The measured transitions cannot be explained by any single parameter model. According to a non-LTE model, most of the C$_2$H column density produces the lower-$N$ C$_2$H transitions and traces a warm ($T_{\rm{kin}}$ ~ 100-150 K) and dense ($n$(H$_2$)~10$^5$-10$^6$ cm$^{-3}$) gas. A small fraction of the C$_2$H column density is required to reproduce the intensity of the highest-$N$ transitions ($N$=9-8 and N=10-9) originating from a high density ($n$(H$_2$)~5$\times$10$^6$ cm$^{-3}$) hot ($T_{\rm{kin}}$ ~ 400 K) gas. The total beam-averaged C$_2$H column density in the model is 10$^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$. Both the non-LTE radiative transfer model and a simple PDR model representing the Orion Bar with a plane-parallel slab of gas and dust suggest, that C$_2$H cannot be described by a single pressure component, unlike the reactive ion CH$^+$, which was previously analysed toward the Orion Bar CO$^+$ peak. The physical parameters traced by the higher rotational transitions ($N$=6-5,...,10-9) of C$_2$H may be consistent with the edges of dense clumps exposed to UV radiation near the ionization front of the Orion Bar.

description: Simplicial homology is a tool that provides a mathematical way to compute the connectivity and the coverage of a cellular network without any node location information. In this article, we use simplicial homology in order to not only compute the topology of a cellular network, but also to discover the clusters of nodes still with no location information. We propose three algorithms for the management of future cellular networks. The first one is a frequency auto-planning algorithm for the self-configuration of future cellular networks. It aims at minimizing the number of planned frequencies while maximizing the usage of each one. Then, our energy conservation algorithm falls into the self-optimization feature of future cellular networks. It optimizes the energy consumption of the cellular network during off-peak hours while taking into account both coverage and user traffic. Finally, we present and discuss the performance of a disaster recovery algorithm using determinantal point processes to patch coverage holes.

description: Introduction Reproducing experiments based on published experiments is challenging. The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles [1] are important tools to improve the reproducibility of experiments. Nevertheless, it can be a challenge for experimenters to implement FAIR-compliant research data management alongside their daily laboratory work. An increasing number of publishers, institutes and funding agencies demand data acquisition strategies based to the FAIR data principles which increases the pressure on the experimenter. Objectives To improve this, BioCatHub is being established. The main aim is to develop a research data management concept for biocatalysis and provide it as an easy-to-use web-interface customised, in particular, for experimenters in biocatalysis. Material and Methods The user interface is designed as wizard like structure and guides the experimenter through the different steps of an experimental procedure, collecting information describing the experiment (metadata) and measurement data. The collected data can be exported to the standardised file format EnzymeML (Enzyme Markup Language) [2] for local storage, or uploaded to the Zenodo platform [3], completing the data acquisition according to the FAIR data principles. Results The first version of BioCatHub went online recently and can be used to describe biocatalytic batch experiments based on the FAIR data principles (available at https://biocathub.net). Conclusion In this way, BioCatHub aims to simplify experimental data collection. It also provides a platform to collect negative experimental data as well, an underutilised source of valuable information in biocatalysis. In the future it will be important to extend the range of experimental procedures which can be described with BioCatHub (e.g. continuous or fed-batch processes). This target is planned to be realised in close cooperation with the biocatalysis community.   References 1. Wilkinson MD, Dumontier M, Aalbersberg IJ, Appleton G, Axton M, Baak A, et al.

description: In this work the dynamics of a 2D Dirac oscillator in the spacetime of a magnetic cosmic string is considered. It is shown that earlier approaches to this problem have neglected a $δ$ function contribution to the full Hamiltonian, which comes from the Zeeman interaction. The inclusion of spin effects leads to results which confirm a modified dynamics. Based on the self-adjoint extension method, we determined the most relevant physical quantities, such as energy spectrum, wave functions and the self-adjoint extension parameter by applying boundary conditions allowed by the system.

description: This year we had a record number of artifact submissions at CGO/PPoPP'17: 27 vs 17 two years ago. It is really great to see that researchers are now taking AE seriously, but it also highlighted new issues with AE scalability and lack of common experimental methodology and workflow frameworks in computer systems' research. Therefore, we discussed a few possible solutions for the next AE including public artifact reviewing, common workflow frameworks, artifact appendices, partial artifact evaluation (artifact available, artifact validated, experiment reproduced) and "tool" papers. Please, feel free to provide your own feedback to the AE steering committee!

description: Background: Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) engage patients in co-evaluation of their health and wellbeing outcomes. This study aimed to determine the feasibility, response rate, degree of recovery and patient acceptability of a PROM survey for elective surgery. Methods: We sampled patients with a broad range of elective surgeries from four major Australian hospitals to evaluate (1) feasibility of the technology used to implement the PROMs across geographically dispersed sites, (2) response rates for automated short message service (SMS) versus email survey delivery formats, (3) the degree of recovery at one and four weeks post-surgery as measured by the Quality of Recovery 15 Item PROM (QoR-15), and (4) patient acceptability of PROMS based on survey and focus group results. Feasibility and acceptability recommendations were then co-designed with stakeholders, based on the data. Results: Over three months there were 5985 surveys responses from 20,052 surveys (30% response rate). Feasibility testing revealed minor and infrequent technical difculties in automated email and SMS administration of PROMs prior to surgery. The response rate for the QoR-15 was 34.8% (n=3108/8919) for SMS and 25.8% (n=2877/11,133) for email. Mean QoR-15 scores were 122.1 (SD 25.2; n=1021); 113.1 (SD 27.7; n=1906) and 123.4 (SD 26.84; n=1051) for pre-surgery and one and four weeks post-surgery, respectively. One week after surgery, 825 of the 1906 responses (43%) exceeded 122.6 (pre-surgery average), and at four weeks post-surgery, 676 of the 1051 responses (64%) exceeded 122.6 (pre-surgery average). The PROM survey was highly acceptable with 76% (n=2830/3739) of patients rating 8/10 or above for acceptability. Fourteen patient driven recommendations were then co-developed. Conclusion: Administering PROMS electronically for elective surgery hospital patients was feasible, acceptable and discriminated changes in surgical recovery over time. Patient co-design and involvement provided innovative and practical solutions to implementation and new recommendations for implementation.

description: In this article we prove estimates for the topological pressure of the set of points whose Birkhoff time averages are far from the space averages corresponding to the unique equilibrium state that has a weak Gibbs property. In particular, if $f$ has an expanding repeller and $ϕ$ is an Hölder continuous potential we prove that the topological pressure of the set of points whose accumulation values of Birkhoff averages belong to some interval $I\subset \mathbb R$ can be expressed in terms of the topological pressure of the whole system and the large deviations rate function. As a byproduct we deduce that most irregular sets for maps with the specification property have topological pressure strictly smaller than the whole system. Some extensions to a non-uniformly hyperbolic setting, level-2 irregular sets and hyperbolic flows are also given.

description: This image shows two materials sandwiched together. The bottom layer is a rubbery gel; it expands when heated and shrinks when cooled. The top layer is incredibly thin glass.Materials scientists heat the gel to extremely hot temperatures (392 degrees Fahrenheit) and then create a thin layer of glass on the surface. As the gel shrinks it pulls the glass sheet into a wrinkly pattern. The glass ridges ripple in yellow; the darker spots are the valleys in-between.This sandwiching process was invented at Northwestern University to develop new, microscopic instruments and tools. When perfected, this method results in tiny rubber pyramids tipped with fine glass points. The pyramids act like quill pens with built-in shock absorbers -- pens which write with single molecules or nano-particles for ink. Tools like these help nanoparticle researchers with more precise, more delicate maneuvers as they begin to study ever smaller aspects of material design.Department of Materials Science & Engineering Tools & Techniques: Optical Microscope + colored in Photoshop

description: We propose an extension of structural fractionally integrated vector autoregressive models that avoids certain undesirable effects for impulse responses if long-run identification restrictions are imposed. We derive its Granger representation, investigate the effects of long-run restrictions and clarify their relation to finite-horizon schemes. It is illustrated by asymptotic analysis and simulations that enforcing integer integration orders can have severe consequences for impulse responses. In a system of US real output and aggregate prices effects of structural shocks strongly depend on integration order specification. In the statistically preferred fractional model the long-run restricted shock has only very short-lasting influence on GDP.

description: New mu-to-e conversion searches aim to advance limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by four orders of magnitude. By considering P and CP selection rules and the structure of possible charge and current densities, we show that rates are governed by six nuclear responses. To generate a microscopic formulation of these responses, we construct in non-relativistic effective theory (NRET) the CLFV nucleon-level interaction, then embed it in a nucleus. We discuss previous work, noting the lack of a systematic treatment of the various small parameters. Because the momentum transfer is comparable to the inverse nuclear size, a full multipole expansion of the response functions is necessary, a daunting task with Coulomb-distorted electron partial waves. We perform such an expansion to high precision by introducing a simplifying local electron momentum, treating the full set of 16 NRET operators. Previous work has been limited to the simplest charge/spin operators, ignored Coulomb distortion (or alternatively truncated the partial wave expansion) and the nucleon velocity operator, which is responsible for three of the response functions. This generates inconsistencies in the treatment of small parameters. We obtain a "master formula" for mu-to-e conversion that properly treats all such effects and those of the muon velocity. We compute muon-to-electron conversion rates for a series of experimental targets, deriving bounds on the coefficients of the CLFV operators. We discuss the nuclear physics: two types of coherence enhance certain CLFV operators and selection rules blind elastic mu-to-e conversion to others. We discuss the matching of the NRET onto higher level EFTs, and the relation to mu-to-e conversion to other CLFV tests. Finally we describe a publicly available script that can be used to compute mu-to-e conversion rates in nuclear targets.

A Note on the Usefulness of Constrained Fourth-Order Latent Differential Equation Models in the Case of Small T

description: Constrained fourth-order latent differential equation (FOLDE) models have been proposed (e.g., Boker et al. 2020) as alternative to second-order latent differential equation (SOLDE) models to estimate second-order linear differential equation systems such as the damped linear oscillator model. When, however, only a relatively small number of measurement occasions T are available (i.e., T=50), the recommendation of which model to use is not clear (Boker et al. 2020). Based on a data set, which consists of T=56 observations of daily stress for N=44 individuals, we illustrate that FOLDE can help to choose an embedding dimension, even in the case of a small T. This is of great importance, as parameter estimates depend on the embedding dimension as well as on the latent differential equations model. Consequently, the wavelength as quantity of potential substantive interest may vary considerably. We extend the modeling approaches used in past research by including multiple subjects, by accounting for individual differences in equilibrium, and by including multiple instead of one single observed indicator.

description: We present a complete polymorphic effect inference algorithm for an ML-style language with handlers of not only exceptions, but of any other algebraic effect such as input & output, mutable references and many others. Our main aim is to offer the programmer a useful insight into the effectful behaviour of programs. Handlers help here by cutting down possible effects and the resulting lengthy output that often plagues precise effect systems. Additionally, we present a set of methods that further simplify the displayed types, some even by deliberately hiding inferred information from the programmer.
Role of Silicon in inducing fungal disease resistance in Rice

description: Rice is being consumed by many countries as a staple food, but simultaneously it encounters serious threats from various insect pests and diseases, which leads to its reduced production globally. Nevertheless, rice exhibits exceptional silicon accumulation, conferring resistance to various pathogens and alleviating both biotic and abiotic stresses. Silicon (Si), is the second most abundant element present in earth's crust after oxygen, comprising about 28% of the total composition and accounting for up to 70% of soil mass. Si enhances plant mechanical and physiological traits, aiding in the mitigation of abiotic stresses like metal toxicity, drought, and salt stress. The most important mechanism of Silicon that induces disease resistance in rice and other crop plants comprises of physical Mechanism (formation of double-layered cuticle, enhanced cell wall rigidity), biochemical mechanism (activation of defense-related enzymes, and the production of antimicrobial compounds) and Molecular mechanism (regulation of transcriptomics, proteomics, and the regulation of systemic signaling). Numerous studies conducted, highlight the importance of silicon in improving plant resistance against innumerable fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases. This article focuses on the significant role of Si in rice disease management through the induction of host resistance. Furthermore, this article calls for attention to explore the role of Si as an innovative strategy for more robust and resilient crop production to sustain the ever-growing population worldwide.

description: Using numerical simulations of rapidly rotating Boussinesq convection in a Cartesian box, we study the formation of long-lived, large-scale, depth-invariant coherent structures. These structures, which consist of concentrated cyclones, grow to the horizontal size of the box, with velocities significantly larger than the convective motions. We vary the rotation rate, the thermal driving and the aspect ratio in order to determine the domain of existence of these large-scale vortices (LSV). We find that two conditions are required for their formation. First, the Rayleigh number, a meaure of the thermal driving, must be several times its value at the linear onset of convection; this corresponds to Reynolds numbers, based on the convective velocity and the box depth, $\gtrsim 100$. Second, the rotational constraint on the convective structures must be strong. This requires that the local Rossby number, based on the convective velocity and the horizontal convective scale, $\lesssim 0.15$. Simulations in which certain wavenumbers are artificially suppressed in spectral space suggest that the LSV are produced by the interactions of small-scale, depth-dependent convective motions. The presence of LSV significantly reduces the efficiency of the convective heat transport.

description: Modelling and reconfiguration of production processes require knowledge across different domains. This in-depth knowledge is necessary to avoid possible side effects that could threaten the production plant, the workpiece or the worker. Therefore, process modelling approaches allow adding additional data to the steps of a process. Such additions can be constraints, which need to be fulfilled before a step can be executed. Upon reconfiguration of production processes, these constraints need to be validated to ensure that the objective of the process is still met. However, this task demands expertise in the field of process modelling as well as in the domain of the production process and the production plant. To the best of our knowledge, state-of-the-art production process modelling approaches are unable to determine the semantic validity of a reconfigured production process. In this paper, we introduce a domain-specific modelling language dedicated to model and validate constraints between production steps. With this approach, we aim to assist the operator in reconfiguring production processes. We evaluate this approach in three case studies and show that our approach can detect violated constraints in production processes.

description: Continuing innovation in science and technology is vital for our society and requires ever-increasing computational resources. However, delivering such resources has become intolerably complex, ad-hoc, costly and error-prone due to an enormous number of available design and optimization choices combined with the complex interactions between all software and hardware components. Auto-tuning, run-time adaptation, and machine learning based approaches have been demonstrating good promise to address above challenges for more than a decade but are still far from the widespread production use due to unbearably long exploration and training times, lack of a common experimental methodology, and lack of public repositories for unified data collection, analysis and mining.

In this talk, I presented a long-term holistic and cooperative methodology and infrastructure for systematic characterization and optimization of computer systems through unified and scalable repositories of knowledge and crowdsourcing. In this approach, multi-objective program and architecture tuning to balance performance, power consumption, compilation time, code size and any other important metric are transparently distributed among multiple users while utilizing any available mobile, cluster or cloud computing services. Collected information about program and architecture properties and behavior is continuously processed using statistical and predictive modeling techniques to build, keep and share only useful knowledge at multiple levels of granularity. Gradually increasing and systematized knowledge can be used to predict most profitable program optimizations, run-time adaptation scenarios and architecture configurations depending on user requirements. I also presented a new version of the public, open-source infrastructure and repository (cTuning3 aka Collective Mind) for crowdsourcing auto-tuning using thousands of shared kernels, benchmarks and datasets combined with online learning plugins. Finally, I also discussed encountered challenges and some future collaborative research directions on the way towards Exascale computing.

description: In this paper, we are concerned with interactions between isoparametric theory and differential topology. Two foliations are called equivalent if there exists a diffeomorphism between the foliated manifolds mapping leaves to leaves. Using differential topology, we obtain several results towards the classification problem of isoparametric foliations up to equivalence. In particular, we show that each homotopy $n$-sphere has the "same" isoparametric foliations as the standard sphere $S^n$ has except for $n=4$, reducing the classification problem on homotopy spheres to that on the standard sphere. Moreover, we prove the uniqueness up to equivalence of isoparametric foliations with two points as the focal submanifolds on each sphere $S^n$ except for $n=5$. Besides, we show that the uniqueness holds on $S^5$ if and only if $π_0(Diff(S^4))\simeq\mathbb{Z}_2$, i.e., pseudo-isotopy implies isotopy for diffeomorphisms on $S^4$. At last, some ideas behind the proofs enable us to discover new exotic smooth structures on certain manifolds.
description: This new version improves the presentations in several aspects: changing the title, putting more emphasis on the classification problem, introducing some necessary definitions and proofs, adding some results,examples and references, which leads to the 18-pages long version instead of original 13-pages

description: Two mobile agents, starting from different nodes of an unknown network, have to meet at the same node. Agents move in synchronous rounds using a deterministic algorithm. Each agent has a different label, which it can use in the execution of the algorithm, but it does not know the label of the other agent. Agents do not know any bound on the size of the network. In each round an agent decides if it remains idle or if it wants to move to one of the adjacent nodes. Agents are subject to delay faults: if an agent incurs a fault in a given round, it remains in the current node, regardless of its decision. If it planned to move and the fault happened, the agent is aware of it. We consider three scenarios of fault distribution: random (independently in each round and for each agent with constant probability 0 < p < 1), unbounded adver- sarial (the adversary can delay an agent for an arbitrary finite number of consecutive rounds) and bounded adversarial (the adversary can delay an agent for at most c consecutive rounds, where c is unknown to the agents). The quality measure of a rendezvous algorithm is its cost, which is the total number of edge traversals. For random faults, we show an algorithm with cost polynomial in the size n of the network and polylogarithmic in the larger label L, which achieves rendezvous with very high probability in arbitrary networks. By contrast, for unbounded adversarial faults we show that rendezvous is not feasible, even in the class of rings. Under this scenario we give a rendezvous algorithm with cost O(nl), where l is the smaller label, working in arbitrary trees, and we show that Ω(l) is the lower bound on rendezvous cost, even for the two-node tree. For bounded adversarial faults, we give a rendezvous algorithm working for arbitrary networks, with cost polynomial in n, and logarithmic in the bound c and in the larger label L.

description: Dihadron correlations are reported for peripheral and central d+Au collisions at 200 GeV from STAR. The ZYAM background subtracted correlation yields are larger in central than peripheral collisions. The difference is mainly caused by centrality biases to jet-like correlations. Fourier coefficients of the raw dihadron correlations are also reported. It is found that the first harmonic coefficient is approximately inversely proportional to event multiplicity, whereas the second harmonic coefficient is approximately independent of event multiplicity.

description: We consider multiple-antenna signal detection of primary user transmission signals by a secondary user receiver in cognitive radio networks. The optimal detector is analyzed for the scenario where the number of primary user signals is no less than the number of receive antennas at the secondary user. We first derive exact expressions for the moments of the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) statistic, yielding approximations for the false alarm and detection probabilities. We then show that the normalized GLRT statistic converges in distribution to a Gaussian random variable when the number of antennas and observations grow large at the same rate. Further, using results from large random matrix theory, we derive expressions to compute the detection probability without explicit knowledge of the channel, and then particularize these expressions for two scenarios of practical interest: 1) a single primary user sending spatially multiplexed signals, and 2) multiple spatially distributed primary users. Our analytical results are finally used to obtain simple design rules for the signal detection threshold.

description: Defining metrics for near-term quantum computing processors has been an integral part of the quantum hardware research and development efforts. Such quantitative characteristics are not only useful for reporting the progress and comparing different quantum platforms, but also essential for identifying the bottlenecks and designing a technology roadmap. Most metrics such as randomized benchmarking and quantum volume were originally introduced for circuit-based quantum computers and were not immediately applicable to measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) processors such as in photonic devices. In this paper, we close this gap by presenting a framework to map physical noises and imperfections in MBQC processes to logical errors in equivalent quantum circuits, whereby enabling the well-known metrics to characterize MBQC. To showcase our framework, we study a continuous-variable cluster state based on the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) encoding as a near-term candidate for photonic quantum computing, and derive the effective logical gate error channels and calculate the quantum volume in terms of the GKP squeezing and photon loss rate.

description: Clustering is probably the most prevalent investigation study of data techniques across disciplines, and it is often utilized to obtain awareness of the content of the data and find relevant categories, as well as identify and summarize frameworks. Clustering is a technique for extracting trends from data. The measurements in a particular group are generally equivalent to information sets in other categories, based on a defined parameter. Fuzzy clustering is a type of categorization that allows every data point will be assigned to multiple clusters. As a result, fuzzy clustering allows you to convey that data elements may belong to several instead of a single cluster.
