description: A new evaluation of the $1s$ level shift and width of kaonic deuterium is presented based on an accurate $\bar{K}NN$ three-body calculation, using as input a realistic antikaon-nucleon interaction constrained by the SIDDHARTA kaonic hydrogen data. The three-body Schrödinger equation is solved with a superposition of a large number of correlated Gaussian basis functions extending over distance scales up to several hundred fm. The resulting energy shift and width of the kaonic deuterium $1s$ level are $E\simeq 0.67$ keV and $Γ\simeq 1.02$ keV, with estimated uncertainties at the 10% level.

description: This short paper is intended as an additional progress report to share our experiences in Indonesia on collecting, integrating and disseminating both global and local scientific data across the country through the web technology. Our recent efforts are exerted on improving the local public access to global scientific data, and on the other hand encouraging the local scientific data to be more accessible for the global communities. We have maintained well-connected infrastructure and some web-based information management systems to realize such objectives. This paper is especially focused on introducing the ARSIP for mirroring global as well as sharing local scientific data, and the newly developed Indonesian Scientific Index for integrating local scientific data through an automated intelligent indexing system.

description: Accurate and efficient video classification demands the fusion of multimodal information and the use of intermediate representations. Combining the two ideas into the one framework, we propose a probabilistic approach for video classification using intermediate semantic representations derived from multi-modal features. Based on a class of bipartite undirected graphical models named harmonium, our approach represents the video data as latent semantic topics derived by jointly modeling the transcript keywords and color-histogram features, and performs classification using these latent topics under a unified framework. We show satisfactory classification performance of our approach on a benchmark dataset as well as interesting insights into the data.

description: In the past few years, General Purpose Graphics Processors (GPUs) have been used to significantly speed up numerous applications. One of the areas in which GPUs have recently led to a significant speed-up is model checking. In model checking, state spaces, i.e., large directed graphs, are explored to verify whether models satisfy desirable properties. GPUexplore is a GPU-based model checker that uses a hash table to efficiently keep track of already explored states. As a large number of states is discovered and stored during such an exploration, the hash table should be able to quickly handle many inserts and queries concurrently. In this paper, we experimentally compare two different hash tables optimised for the GPU, one being the GPUexplore hash table, and the other using Cuckoo hashing. We compare the performance of both hash tables using random and non-random data obtained from model checking experiments, to analyse the applicability of the two hash tables for state space exploration. We conclude that Cuckoo hashing is three times faster than GPUexplore hashing for random data, and that Cuckoo hashing is five to nine times faster for non-random data. This suggests great potential to further speed up GPUexplore in the near future.

description: With a view to determining character values of finite reductive groups at unipotent elements, we prove a number of results concerning inner products of generalised Gelfand-Graev characters with characteristic functions of character sheaves, here called Lusztig functions. These are used to determine projections of generalised Gelfand-Graev characters to the space of unipo- tent characters, and to the space of characters with a given wave front set. Such projections are expressed largely in terms of Weyl group data. We show how the values of characters at their unipotent support or wave front set are determined by such data. In some exceptional groups we show that the projection of a generalised Gelfand-Graev character to a family with the same wave front set is (up to sign) the dual of a Mellin transform. Using these results, in certain cases we are able to determine roots of unity which relate almost characters to the characteristic functions. In particular we show how to compute the values of all unipotent characters at all unipotent classes for the exceptional adjoint groups of type G2, F4, E6, E7 and E8. We also pro- vide an appendix which gives a complete list of the cuspidal character sheaves on all quasi-simple groups.

description: The design of agent-based models (ABMs) is often ad-hoc when it comes to defining their scope. In order for the inclusion of features such as network structure, location, or dynamic change to be justified, their role in a model should be systematically analysed. We propose a mechanism to compare and assess the impact of such features. In particular we are using techniques from software engineering and semantics to support the development and assessment of ABMs, such as graph transformations as semantic representations for agent-based models, feature diagrams to identify ingredients under consideration, and extension relations between graph transformation systems to represent model fragments expressing features.

A procedure to determine this phenomenon is developed. By means of the $χ^2$-analysis of the data set accumulating $5-10\times 10^6$ Monte Carlo configurations, the spontaneous creation of the Abelian color magnetic field is indicated. The common generation of the magnetic field and $A_0$-condensate is also studied. It is discovered that the field configuration consisting of the magnetized vacuum and the $A_0$-condensate is stable.

description: For most problems in science and engineering we can obtain data sets that describe the observed system from various perspectives and record the behavior of its individual components. Heterogeneous data sets can be collectively mined by data fusion. Fusion can focus on a specific target relation and exploit directly associated data together with contextual data and data about system's constraints. In the paper we describe a data fusion approach with penalized matrix tri-factorization (DFMF) that simultaneously factorizes data matrices to reveal hidden associations. The approach can directly consider any data that can be expressed in a matrix, including those from feature-based representations, ontologies, associations and networks. We demonstrate the utility of DFMF for gene function prediction task with eleven different data sources and for prediction of pharmacologic actions by fusing six data sources. Our data fusion algorithm compares favorably to alternative data integration approaches and achieves higher accuracy than can be obtained from any single data source alone.

description: This paper derives new formulations for designing dominant pole placement based proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers to handle second order processes with time delays (SOPTD). Previously, similar attempts have been made for pole placement in delay-free systems. The presence of the time delay term manifests itself as a higher order system with variable number of interlaced poles and zeros upon Pade approximation, which makes it difficult to achieve precise pole placement control. We here report the analytical expressions to constrain the closed loop dominant and non-dominant poles at the desired locations in the complex s-plane, using a third order Pade approximation for the delay term. However, invariance of the closed loop performance with different time delay approximation has also been verified using increasing order of Pade, representing a closed to reality higher order delay dynamics. The choice of the nature of non-dominant poles e.g. all being complex, real or a combination of them modifies the characteristic equation and influences the achievable stability regions. The effect of different types of non-dominant poles and the corresponding stability regions are obtained for nine test-bench processes indicating different levels of open-loop damping and lag to delay ratio. Next, we investigate which expression yields a wider stability region in the design parameter space by using Monte Carlo simulations while uniformly sampling a chosen design parameter space. Various time and frequency domain control performance parameters are investigated next, as well as their deviations with uncertain process parameters, using thousands of Monte Carlo simulations, around the robust stable solution for each of the nine test-bench processes.

description: Nature inspired neuromorphic architectures are being explored as an alternative to imminent limitations of conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) architectures. Utilization of such architectures for practical applications like advanced pattern recognition tasks will require synaptic connections that are both reconfigurable and stable. Here, we report realization of stable atomic-switch networks (ASN), with inherent complex connectivity, self-assembled from percolating metal nanoparticles (NPs). The device conductance reflects the configuration of synapses which can be modulated via voltage stimulus. By controlling Relative Humidity (RH) and oxygen partial-pressure during NP deposition we obtain stochastic conductance switching that is stable over several months. Detailed characterization reveals signatures of electric-field induced atomic-wire formation within the tunnel-gaps of the oxidized percolating network. Finally we show that the synaptic structure can be reconfigured by stimulating at different repetition rates, which can be utilized as short-term to long-term memory conversion. This demonstration of stable stochastic switching in ASNs provides a promising route to hardware implementation of biological neuronal models and, as an example, we highlight possible applications in Reservoir Computing (RC).

description: We report new patterns, consisting of coexistence of sub-harmonic/harmonic and asynchronous states [for example, a granular gas co-existing with (i) bouncing bed, (ii) undulatory subharmonic waves and (iii) Leidenfrost-like state], in experiments on vertically vibrated binary granular mixtures in a Heleshaw-type cell. Most experiments have been carried out with equimolar binary mixtures of glass and steel balls of same diameter by varying the total layer-height ($F$) for a range of shaking acceleration ($Γ$). All patterns as well as the related phase-diagram in the ($Γ, F$)-plane have been reproduced via molecular dynamics simulations of the same system. The segregation of heavier and lighter particles along the horizontal direction is shown to be the progenitor of such phase-coexisting patterns as confirmed in both experiment and simulation. At strong shaking we uncover a {\it partial} convection state in which a pair of convection rolls is found to coexist with a Leidenfrost-like state. The crucial role of the relative number density of two species on controlling the buoyancy-driven granular convection is demonstrated. A possible model for spontaneous horizontal segregation is suggested based on anisotropic diffusion.

description: Characterization of a tumor nowadays implies various omics experiments (transcriptomics, methylation, proteomics, genomics, ...). Tumor complexity can be assessed either in an integrative way combining all information or layer by layer. Here we performed and compared both, using matrix factorization, on one the hand a multi-omics deconvolution method: Multi-Omics Factor Analysis (MOFA) and on the other hand, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) applied to each layer. Ongoing preliminary results show that both approaches give insightful results and show similarities as well as specificities.

description: The minimal invasive procedure of vertebroplasty is a surgical technique to treat compression fractures of vertebral bodies. During the treatment, liquid bone cement gets injected into the affected vertebral body and therein cures to a solid. In order to investigate the treatment and the impact of injected bone cement, an integrated modelling and simulation framework has been developed. The framework includes (i) the generation of microstructural computer models based on microCT images of human cancellous bone, (ii) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of bone cement injection into the trabecular structure and (iii) non-linear finite element (FE) simulations of the subsequent bone cement curing. A detailed description of the material behaviour of acrylic bone cements is provide d for both simulation stages. A non-linear process-depending fluid flow model is chosen to represent the bone cement behaviour during injection. The bone cements phase change from a highly viscous fluid to a solid is described by a non-linear viscoelastic material model with curing dependent properties. To take into account the distinctive temperature dependence of acrylic bone cements, both material models are formulated in a thermo-mechanically coupled manner. Moreover, the corresponding microstructural CFD- and FE-simulations are performed using thermo-mechanically coupled solvers. An application of the presented modelling and simulation framework to a sample of human cancellous bone demonstrates the capabilities of the presented approach.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description:   
Acral and mucosal melanomas are less common but aggressive subtypes of melanoma. To characterize the landscapes of genomic alterations in these melanoma subtypes, we compiled sequencing data of 240 human acral and mucosal melanoma samples from 11 previously published studies and applied a uniform pipeline to call tumor cell content, ploidy, somatic and germline mutations, as well as CNVs, LOH, and SVs. We nominated PTPRJ, mutated and homozygously deleted in 3.8% (9/240) and 0.8% (2/240) of samples, respectively, as a probable tumor suppressor gene, and FER and SKP2, amplified in 3.8% and 11.7% of samples, respectively, as probable oncogenes. We further identified a long tail of infrequent pathogenic alterations, involving genes such as CIC and LZTR1. Pathogenic germline mutations were observed on MITF, PTEN, ATM and PRKN. We found BRAF V600E mutations in acral melanoma with fewer structural variations, suggesting that they are distinct and related to cutaneous melanomas. Amplifications of PAK1 and GAB2 were more commonly observed in acral melanoma, whereas SF3B1 R625 codon mutations were unique to mucosal melanoma (12.9%). Amplifications at 11q13-14 were frequently accompanied by fusion to a region on chromosome 6q12, revealing a recurrent novel structural rearrangement whose role remains to be elucidated. In conclusion, our meta-analysis expands the catalogue of driver mutations in acral and mucosal melanomas, sheds new light on their pathogenesis and broadens the catalogue of therapeutic targets for these difficult-to-treat cancers.

description: We perform a three-dimensional, short-wavelength stability analysis on the numerically simulated two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder for Reynolds numbers in the range $50\le Re\le300$; here, $Re = U_{\infty}D/ν$ with $U_\infty$, $D$ and $ν$ being the free-stream velocity, the diameter of the cylinder and the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, respectively. For a given $Re$, inviscid local stability equations from the geometric optics approach are solved on three distinct closed fluid particle trajectories (denoted as orbits 1, 2 & 3) for purely transverse perturbations. The inviscid instability on orbits 1 & 2, which are symmetric counterparts of one another, is shown to undergo bifurcations at $Re\approx50$ and $Re\approx250$. Upon incorporating finite-wavenumber, finite-Reynolds number effects to compute corrected local instability growth rates, the inviscid instability on orbits 1 & 2 is shown to be suppressed for $Re\lesssim262$. Orbits 1 & 2 are thus shown to exhibit a synchronous instability for $Re\gtrsim262$, which is remarkably close to the critical Reynolds number for the mode-B secondary instability. Further evidence for the connection between the local instability on orbits 1 & 2, and the mode-B secondary instability, is provided via a comparison of the growth rate variation with span-wise wavenumber between the local and global stability approaches. In summary, our results strongly suggest that the three-dimensional short-wavelength instability on orbits 1 & 2 is a possible mechanism for the emergence of the mode B secondary instability.

description: Given $X\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_N$, $X$ is called a \emph{cyclic basis} if $(X+X)\cup X=\mathbb{Z}_N$, \emph{symmetric} if $x\in X$ implies $-x \in X$, and \emph{sum-free} if $(X+X)\cap X=\varnothing$. We ask, for which $m$, $N\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ can the set of non-identity elements of $\mathbb{Z}_N$ be partitioned into $m$ symmetric sum-free cyclic bases? If, in addition, we require that distinct cyclic bases interact in a certain way, we get a proper relation algebra called a Ramsey algebra. Ramsey algebras (which have also been called Monk algebras) have been constructed previously for $2\leq m\leq 7$. In this manuscript, we provide constructions of Ramsey algebras for every positive integer $m$ with $2\leq m\leq 400$, with the exception of $m=8$ and $m=13$.

description: A major obstacle to successful high-level synthesis (HLS) of large-scale application-specified integrated circuit systems is the presence of memory accesses to a shared-memory subsystem. The latency to access memory is often not statically predictable, which creates problems for scheduling operations dependent on memory reads. More fundamental is that dependences between accesses may not be statically provable (e.g., if the specification language permits pointers), which introduces memory-consistency problems. Addressing these issues with static scheduling results in overly conservative circuits, and thus, most state-of-the-art HLS tools limit memory systems to those that have predictable latencies and limit programmers to specifications that forbid arbitrary memory-reference patterns. A new HLS framework for the synthesis and optimization of memory accesses (SOMA) is presented. SOMA enables specifications to include arbitrary memory references (e.g., pointers) and allows the memory system to incorporate features that might cause the latency of a memory access to vary dynamically. This results in raising the level of abstraction in the input specification, enabling faster design times. SOMA synthesizes a memory access network (MAN) architecture that facilitates dynamic scheduling and ordering of memory accesses. The paper describes a basic MAN construction technique that illustrates how dynamic ordering helps in efficiently maintaining memory consistency and how dynamic scheduling helps alleviate the variable-latency problem. Then, it is shown how static analysis of the access patterns can be used to optimize the MAN. One optimization changes the MAN interconnect topology to increase concurrence. A second optimization reduces the synchronization overhead necessary to maintain memory consistency. Postlayout experiments demonstrate that SOMA's application-specific MAN construction significantly improves power and performance for a range of benchmarks.

description: Velocity structures of jets in a coronal hole have been derived for the first time. Hinode observations revealed the existence of many bright points in coronal holes. They are loop-shaped and sometimes associated with coronal jets. Spectra obtained with the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on board Hinode are analyzed to infer Doppler velocity of bright loops and jets in a coronal hole of the north polar region. Elongated jets above bright loops are found to be blue-shifted by 30 km/s at maximum, while foot points of bright loops are red-shifted. Blue-shifts detected in coronal jets are interpreted as upflows produced by magnetic reconnection between emerging flux and the ambient field in the coronal hole.

description: We report on the investigation of coercivity changes of the Co$_{72}$Pt$_{28}$/Co$_{81}$Ir$_{19}$ exchange-coupled composite (ECC) media with negative soft-layer (SL) magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MA) . Our results show that the hard-layer (HL) of our sample exhibits a columnar type microstructure with well isolated grains and the SL with hcp-structure grows on top of the HL with the same texture. Therefore, strong coupling of the two layers have been realized as evidenced by the magnetic characterization. Importantly, we observe a more effective reduction of the coercivity of the ECC media by using SLs with negative MA when compared to the use of SLs with positive or negligible MA. The experimental results are corroborated by theoretical calculations.

Systems with stationary distribution of quantum correlations: open spin-1/2 chains with XY interaction

description: Although quantum correlations in a quantum system are characterized by the evolving quantities (which are entanglement and discord usually), we reveal such basis (i.e. the set of virtual particles) for the representation of the density matrix that the entanglement and/or discord between any two virtual particles in such representation are stationary. In particular, dealing with the nearest neighbor approximation, this system of virtual particles is represented by the $β$-fermions of the Jordan-Wigner transformation. Such systems are important in quantum information devices because the evolution of quantum entanglement/discord leads to the problems of realization of quantum operations. The advantage of stationary entanglement/discord is that they are completely defined by the initial density matrix and by the Hamiltonian governing the quantum dynamics in the system under consideration. Moreover, using the special initial condition together with the special system's geometry, we construct large cluster of virtual particles with the same pairwise entanglement/discord. In other words, the measure of quantum correlations is stationary in this system and correlations are uniformly "distributed" among all virtual particles. As examples, we use both homogeneous and non-homogeneous spin-1/2 open chains with XY-interaction although other types of interactions might be also of interest.

description: With present and future wireless technologies, such as IEEE 802.11, BlueTooth, RF-Lite, and G3, handheld devices will frequently be in close, interactive communication. Many environments, including offices, meeting rooms, automobiles and classrooms already contain many computers and computerized appliances, and the smart homes of the future will have ubiquitous embedded computation. When the user enters one of these environments carrying a handheld device, how will that device interact with the environment? We are exploring, as part of the Pebbles research project, the many ways that handheld devices such as PalmOS Organizers, PocketPC and Windows CE devices, and smart cell phones can serve as useful adjuncts to the “fixed” computers and computerized appliances in the user’s vicinity. This brings up many interesting research questions, such as: How can the handheld device improve the user interfaces of everything else in the user’s environment, rather than being just be another complex gadget that must be learned? What is the best way to provide a user interface that spans multiple devices that are in use at the same time? How will users and systems decide which functions should be presented and in what manner on what device? How can the user’s handheld device be effectively used as a “Personal Universal Controller” to provide an easy-to-use and familiar interface to all of the complex appliances available to a user? How can communicating handheld devices enhance the effectiveness of meetings and classroom lectures? We present some preliminary observations on these issues, and discuss some of the systems that we have built to investigate them.

description: Differential cross sections of charged particles in inelastic pp collisions as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ have been measured at $\sqrt{s}=$ 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV at the LHC. The $p_{\rm T}$ spectra are compared to NLO-pQCD calculations. Though the differential cross section for an individual $\sqrt{s}$ cannot be described by NLO-pQCD, the relative increase of cross section with $\sqrt{s}$ is in agreement with NLO-pQCD. Based on these measurements and observations, procedures are discussed to construct pp reference spectra at $\sqrt{s} =$ 2.76 and 5.02 TeV up to $p_{\rm T}$ = 50 GeV/$c$ as required for the calculation of the nuclear modification factor in nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus collisions.

description: Many children with autism spectrum disorder do not have symbolic play skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a training procedure on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of object-substitution symbolic play in children with autism spectrum disorder. A single-case experimental design (multiple-probe across four behaviors) was used. One girl (5 years) and two boys (4–5 years) participated in this study. The training procedure involved withdrawing necessary items in play activities, supplying multiple substitutes, and providing hierarchical assistive prompts. Each child’s symbolic play responses across baseline, intervention, and follow-up conditions were recorded and graphed. Data analysis involved visual inspection of graphs. The results indicated that the procedure effectively increased and maintained object-substitution symbolic play. Generalization to untaught play activities occurred in all children, and symbolic play increased in the free play setting for one child. Arranging play activities with missing items increased opportunities for children to engage in symbolic play. The training procedure can be used in clinical and educational settings as an initial step to establish and improve complex play behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder who lack such skills.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMany children with autism spectrum disorder have inappropriate play behaviors and do not demonstrate symbolic play.Arranging play activities with missing items and systematic assistive prompts effectively increased object-substitution symbolic play.Generalization of symbolic play to untrained play activities occurred after the intervention.

Inhalation dosimetry & environmental factors investigated in rats using head-out plethysmography

description: Inhaled administration of test materials to laboratory animals has technical limitations for dosimetry. Inhaled ‘doses’ reported in non-clinical studies are typically calculated using an equation to estimate respired minute volumes from body weights. This may overlook variability in respiratory parameters associated with a material’s properties or habituation of animals to the ‘dosing’ technique. Rats are insensitive to red light and anecdotal (unpublished) evidence suggested red lighting may induce a calmer state in restrained rats. We hypothesised that the colour of lighting (red or white) and duration of tube acclimatisation protocols may influence the breath frequency (BF) and minute volume (MV) of rats during inhalation exposure.

Male rats (Crl:WI(Han); n=8 per group) were acclimatised to restraint tubes for 2 or 6 days and administered a single ‘dose’ (600 µg/kg; 1-hour exposure) of an anti-inflammatory drug under either normal fluorescent lighting or red lighting (λ ≥600 nm). Rats were assessed for BF and MV by head-out plethysmography during snout-only inhalation exposure, and then sampled immediately afterwards for drug analysis of lung homogenate by HPLC-MS/MS.

The BF and MV of rats during exposure was unaffected by illumination under red or white lighting. A short-term elevation in BF and MV was more pronounced for rats subjected to a 2-day acclimatisation protocol, relative to a 6-day protocol, but there was no statistical difference in overall mean values for the 1-hour exposure period. The MV of rats under the conditions of this study (no pre-exposure settling period) were generally higher than the body weight-derived estimate of respired minute volume (mean MV ≈ 1.17x RMV). Drug-lung homogenate concentrations were more variable and an apparent difference between values for red and white lighting could not be ascribed to trends in minute volume and hence ‘lung dose’ per se.

This study shows a potential for body weight-derived estimates of ‘dose’ to underestimate the ‘achieved inhaled dose’ and a more pronounced transient elevation of breath frequency and minute volume following a shorter acclimatisation protocol. Measurement of minute volume during non-clinical inhalation studies could refine anomalies in dosimetry of inhaled materials, particularly when respiratory function is affected by treatment.
