Subjects: subject: Sound (cs.SD)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Signal amplitude envelope allows to obtain information of the signal features for different applications. It is widely used to pre-process sound and other signals of physiological origin in human or animal studies. In order to obtain signal envelope, a fast and simple algorithm is proposed based on peak detection. The procedure presented here is quite straightforward and can be used in different applications of time series analysis. It can be applied in signals with different origin and frequency content. This algorithm presented is implemented based on python libraries. An open source code is also provided. Aspects on the parameter selection are discussed to adapt the same method for different applications. Also traditional methods are revisited and compared with the one proposed here.

description: Reverse approximate queries in spatial databases relax the rigid requirement of k value in spatial reverse queries, increasing the influential accuracy for the query point. Reverse approximate queries consist of reverse approximate nearest neighbour (RANN) query and spatial reverse approximate top (SRAT) query. RANN was studied in Euclidean space when it was proposed, hence a new algorithm is invented to process RANN with the road network data. It is the first time that SRAT is defined and examined. A novel approach is proposed to answer this query. All queries have been tested with both synthetic and real-world data sets.

description: This study explores various data-driven methods for performing background-model selection, and for assigning uncertainty on the signal-strength estimator that arises due to the choice of background model. The performance of these methods is evaluated in the context of several realistic example problems. Furthermore, a novel strategy is proposed that greatly simplifies the process of performing a bump hunt when little is assumed to be known about the background. This new approach is shown to greatly reduce the potential bias in the signal-strength estimator, without degrading the sensitivity by increasing the variance, and to produce confidence intervals with valid coverage properties.

description: The introduction of the smart grid allows utility companies to leverage the residential demand flexibility in implementing effective demand response systems. Distributed architectures and the heterogeneous nature of residential DR systems allow malicious individuals and organised groups to execute different cyberattacks. This thesis analyses novel false data injection attacks (FDIAs) and their potential impact on these systems. Further, the use of anomaly detection methods in the context of FDIA detection is analysed. Moreover, the use of anomaly detection methods and impact alleviation techniques in improving the resiliency of DR schemes to ensure the effectiveness of distributed DR schemes is analysed.

description: In this paper we consider monic polynomials such that their coefficients coincide with their zeros. These polynomials were first introduced by S. Ulam. We combine methods of algebraic geometry and dynamical systems to prove several results. We obtain estimates on the number of Ulam polynomials of degree $N$. We provide additional methods to obtain algebraic identities satisfied by the zeros of Ulam polynomials, beyond the straightforward comparison of their zeros and coefficients. To address the question about existence of orthogonal Ulam polynomial sequences, we show that the only Ulam polynomial eigenfunctions of hypergeometric type differential operators are the trivial Ulam polynomials $\{x^N\}_{N=0}^\infty$. We propose a family of solvable $N$-body problems such that their stable equilibria are the zeros of certain Ulam polynomials.

Year: 2023
Subjects: Environmentally sustainable engineering

description: All buildings owners tend towards lighting with high energy efficiency, great performance, low carbon emissions, easy maintenance, and at reduced costs. Several parameters determine the choice of lamp: luminous efficiency (in lumens per watt), economic life (in hours), colour rendering index (CRI), colour temperature (in kelvins, K) and the power (in watts, W). This paper analyses the possibilities of lighting optimization trough an overview of the current literature, methodology definition and real case studies.

description: The royal forest of leicestershire had a relatively brief existence, from the imposition of forest law on the south-eastern part of the county, contiguous with the county boundary with Rutland, by henry i at an uncertain point in his reign (1100-1135), until the disafforestation of the area in 1235 during the reign of henry iii. Because of the early date and relative lack of evidence relating to it, it has received scant attention from historians compared with that afforded to what was originally the private forest of the earls of leicester, leicester forest, and charnwood, never a legal as distinct from a physical forest, in the north-western part of the county. coverage of the royal forest in the Victoria County History is very brief, and does not give any account of its extent or the location of its boundaries. By contrast, the neighbouring forest of Rutland, with which the leicestershire forest was always linked, and in many respects integrated, during the period of their joint existence, has been much more fully treated, because it lasted for much longer and is particularly well documented during the thirteenth century by two forest eyre rolls and one large forest eyre estreat. The leicestershire forest played a not insignificant role in the history of the royal forest in england as a whole during the age of the Norman and angevin kings, which culminated in the royal grants of Magna carta in 1215 and the charter of the Forest two years later, followed by their joint confirmation in their definitive forms in 1225.

description: Undesirable wait times imposed on passengers transferring between buses and trains is a major disincentive to the use of public transport. While passengers desire frequent services, transit operators aim to minimise vehicle costs. This research investigates the simultaneous optimisation of bus-train timetable coordination and vehicle cost efficiency using constraint-based optimisation techniques. Decomposed and integrated modelling and solving approaches are presented to solve these conflicting objectives. Written and solved entirely in MiniZinc, the models demonstrate network-wide timetables and vehicle schedules that are well-coordinated and cost efficient. Findings also suggest that incorporating some flexibility to operational constraints is critical for well-coordinated timetables.

description: For the bulk of racegoers, the meeting was an annual holiday, its character most like a fair. By the 1870s, however, excursions provided an alternative for many, and new holidays made the Race Week less important in the annual round than before, hence the ending of the meeting was less controversial than it might otherwise have been. The demise of the meeting in 1883 was due rather to the event's incorporation within a national pattern of race meetings under the Jockey Club, a body insensitive to local demands, than to any conflict over the use of leisure within the town

description: "In this place the great Duke of Buckingham was at school, nor was he ashamed of the circumstance; passing through this place he related the story to a gentleman, his companion, with some pleasantry". The source of this anecdote is not revealed, but its content is authenticated by the life of George Villiers written by his contemporary, Sir Henry Wotton: "He was nurtured where he had been born, in his first Rudiments, till the year of ten; and then sent to Billesdon School, in the same County, where he was taught the principles of Musick, and other slight Literature, till the thirteenth year of his age". The Villiers family seat at Brooksby was ten miles across country from Billesdon: why was the young George sent to school there, rather than to Leicester or Melton Mowbray? The answer lies in the unusual ability of the then vicar of Billesdon, Anthony Cade. "I euer accounted it a great blessing of God, and it is still the ioy of my heart to record", Cade wrote many years later, "that in my stronger yeeres I was thought worthy to be employed in the trayning vp of some Nobles, and many other yong Gentlemen of the best sort ... in the Learned Tongues, Mathematicall Arts, Musicke, and other both Diuine and Humane Learning; and that Many of them haue since risen to great places and dignities in our Church and Common wealth."

description: John Flower was born in Leicester, son of John and Mary Flower, he was baptised at the church of St. Mary-de-Castro on 14 October 1793. For many years the Flower family had been owners of the old Castle Mill, though John Flower senior, a Freeman of Leicester, was a wool-comber by trade, and the son of a wool-comber. The death of his father when he was still a boy left him to make his own way in the world. He was apprenticed in 1806 to a framework-knitter called Benjamin Withers. His interest in drawing, and his eye for colour attracted the attention of Dr. Alexander of Danet's Hall, who, seeing his ability, so encouraged him that he had begun to give lessons as a drawing master before he was twenty. About this time he began to be patronised by Miss Mary Linwood, and through her influence was sent to London, probably in 1815,3 where he spent about a year working under the supervision of the painter, Peter de Wint, who gave his services free of charge. On his return John Flower was able to establish himself in the town as a landscape artist and teacher of drawing.

description: Topological metrics of graphs provide a natural way to describe the prominent features of various types of networks. Graph metrics describe the structure and interplay of graph edges and have found applications in many scientific fields. In this work, graph metrics are used in network estimation by developing optimisation methods that incorporate prior knowledge of a network's topology. The derivatives of graph metrics are used in gradient descent schemes for weighted undirected network denoising, network completion, and network decomposition. The successful performance of our methodology is shown in a number of toy examples and real-world datasets. Most notably, our work establishes a new link between graph theory, network science and optimisation.

description: Une relation enseignant-apprenants[1] de qualité est cruciale pour assurer la réussite éducative des élèves et leur épanouissement tout au long de leur scolarité, et même au-delà. En effet, au cours des années 2000, plusieurs recherches ont été menées sur la relation enseignant-apprenants. Certaines d’entre elles ont montré l’impact majeur de cette relation sur la réussite éducative et scolaire des apprenants, et aussi sur leur motivation, leur engagement et leur bien-être scolaire et social (Davis, 2003 ; Fortin et. al., 2011 ; Fredriksen et Rhodes, 2004 ; Pianta et al., 2008 ; Pianta et Hamre, 2007 ; Rousseau et al., 2009 ; Virat, 2019). Plus précisément, ces recherches ont mis en évidence l’importance de la qualité d’une relation entre enseignant et apprenants qui devient plus globale, plus humaine, dépassant la stricte transmission des savoirs et l’instruction. Cette relation éducative apparait comme une situation humaine, car elle est complexe, faite d’échanges et de contextes (Postic, 2015). Elle peut être envisagée sous différents domaines comme la pédagogie, la psychologie, la psychanalyse ou la sociologie, marquant le fait que l’apprenant est avant tout un être humain, un interlocuteur à part entière.

description: We discuss higher dimensional generalizations of the 0+1-dimensional Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model that has recently become the focus of intensive interdisciplinary studies by, both, the condensed matter and field-theoretical communities. Unlike the previous constructions where multiple SYK copies would be coupled to each other and/or hybridized with itinerant fermions via spatially short-ranged random hopping processes, we study algebraically varying long-range (spatially and/or temporally) correlated random couplings in the general d+1 dimensions. Such pertinent topics as translationally-invariant strong-coupling solutions, emergent reparametrization symmetry, effective action for fluctuations, chaotic behavior, and diffusive transport (or a lack thereof) are all addressed. We find that the most appealing properties of the original SYK model that suggest the existence of its 1+1-dimensional holographic gravity dual do not survive the aforementioned generalizations, thus lending no additional support to the hypothetical broad (including 'non-AdS/non-CFT') holographic correspondence.

description: Scrambling is a process by which the state of a quantum system is effectively randomized due to the global entanglement that "hides" initially localized quantum information. In this work, we lay the mathematical foundations of studying randomness complexities beyond scrambling by entanglement properties. We do so by analyzing the generalized (in particular Rényi) entanglement entropies of designs, i.e. ensembles of unitary channels or pure states that mimic the uniformly random distribution (given by the Haar measure) up to certain moments. A main collective conclusion is that the Rényi entanglement entropies averaged over designs of the same order are almost maximal. This links the orders of entropy and design, and therefore suggests Rényi entanglement entropies as diagnostics of the randomness complexity of corresponding designs. Such complexities form a hierarchy between information scrambling and Haar randomness. As a strong separation result, we prove the existence of (state) 2-designs such that the Rényi entanglement entropies of higher orders can be bounded away from the maximum. However, we also show that the min entanglement entropy is maximized by designs of order only logarithmic in the dimension of the system. In other words, logarithmic-designs already achieve the complexity of Haar in terms of entanglement, which we also call max-scrambling. This result leads to a generalization of the fast scrambling conjecture, that max-scrambling can be achieved by physical dynamics in time roughly linear in the number of degrees of freedom.

description: Heroism is an expression of self-actualization and a pinnacle social state that is of fundamental interest to humanistic psychology. Heroes help individuals understand the values and norms within society and prompt individuals to do what they can for those who need help. We examine the relationship between the motivation to act heroically and civic engagement and explore how self-construals offer insights into this relationship. In two studies, we found that heroism motivation was a significant and consistent predictor of civic engagement. Furthermore, we found that the association between heroism motivation and civic engagement was explained by self-construals. More specifically, we found that heroism motivation was indirectly related to civic engagement when people adopted an interdependent self-construal (but not an independent self-construal). The findings from the present research contribute to our understanding of how the motivation to behave heroically affects civic engagement and demonstrate the importance of self-construals for the link between these types of motivation and behavior.

description: We investigate the Andreev tunneling and Josephson current in graphene irradiated with high-frequency linearly polarized light. The corresponding stroboscopic dynamics can be solved using Floquet mechanism which results in an effective stationary theory to the problem. It exhibits anisotropy in the Dirac spectrum and modifies the so-called pseudospin-momentum locking in graphene. The Andreev reflection at a normal graphene - superconductor (NS) interface becomes an oscillatory function of the optical strength. Specifically we find that, by varying the polarization direction we can both suppress AR considerably or cause the Andreev transport to remain maximum at sub-gap excitation energies even in the presence of Fermi level mismatch. Furthermore, we study the optical effect on the Andreev bound states (ABS) within a short normal-graphene sheet, sandwiched between two s-wave superconductors. It shows redistribution of the low energy regime in the ABS spectrum, which in turn, has major effect in shaping the Josephson super-current. Subjected to efficient tuning, such current can be sufficiently altered even at the charge neutrality point. Our observations provide useful feedback in regulating the quantum transport in Dirac-like systems, achieved via controlled off-resonant optical irradiation on them.

description: The vast majority of physical objects we are dealing with are almost exclusively made of atoms. Due to their discrete level structure, single atoms have proved to be emitters of light which is incompatible with the classical description of electromagnetic waves. We demonstrate this incompatibility for atomic fluorescence when scaling up the size of the source ensemble, which consists of trapped atomic ions, by several orders of magnitude. The presented measurements of nonclassical statistics on light unconditionally emitted from ensembles containing up to more than a thousand ions promise further scalability to much larger emitter numbers. The methodology can be applied to a broad range of experimental platforms focusing on the bare nonclassical character of single isolated emitters.

description: The classification of homogeneous compact Einstein manifolds in dimension six is an open problem. We consider the remaining open case, namely left-invariant Einstein metrics $g$ on $G = \mathrm{SU}(2) \times \mathrm{SU}(2) = S^3 \times S^3$. Einstein metrics are critical points of the total scalar curvature functional for fixed volume. The scalar curvature $S$ of a left-invariant metric $g$ is constant and can be expressed as a rational function in the parameters determining the metric. The critical points of $S$, subject to the volume constraint, are given by the zero locus of a system of polynomials in the parameters. In general, however, the determination of the zero locus is apparently out of reach. Instead, we consider the case where the isotropy group $K$ of $g$ in the group of motions is non-trivial. When $K\not\cong \mathbb{Z}_2$ we prove that the Einstein metrics on $G$ are given by (up to homothety) either the standard metric or the nearly Kähler metric, based on representation-theoretic arguments and computer algebra. For the remaining case $K\cong \mathbb{Z}_2$ we present partial results.

description: We consider the problem of estimating the $L_1$ distance between two discrete probability measures $P$ and $Q$ from empirical data in a nonasymptotic and large alphabet setting. When $Q$ is known and one obtains $n$ samples from $P$, we show that for every $Q$, the minimax rate-optimal estimator with $n$ samples achieves performance comparable to that of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) with $n\ln n$ samples. When both $P$ and $Q$ are unknown, we construct minimax rate-optimal estimators whose worst case performance is essentially that of the known $Q$ case with $Q$ being uniform, implying that $Q$ being uniform is essentially the most difficult case. The \emph{effective sample size enlargement} phenomenon, identified in Jiao \emph{et al.} (2015), holds both in the known $Q$ case for every $Q$ and the $Q$ unknown case. However, the construction of optimal estimators for $\|P-Q\|_1$ requires new techniques and insights beyond the approximation-based method of functional estimation in Jiao \emph{et al.} (2015).

description: In this paper we improve the layered implementation of arbitrary stabilizer circuits introduced by Aaronson and Gottesman in Phys. Rev. A 70(052328), 2004: to obtain a general stabilizer circuit, we reduce their $11$-stage computation -H-C-P-C-P-C-H-P-C-P-C- over the gate set consisting of Hadamard, Controlled-NOT, and Phase gates, into a $7$-stage computation of the form -C-CZ-P-H-P-CZ-C-. We show arguments in support of using -CZ- stages over the -C- stages: not only the use of -CZ- stages allows a shorter layered expression, but -CZ- stages are simpler and appear to be easier to implement compared to the -C- stages. Based on this decomposition, we develop a two-qubit gate depth-$(14n{-}4)$ implementation of stabilizer circuits over the gate library $\{$H, P, CNOT$\}$, executable in the Linear Nearest Neighbor (LNN) architecture, improving best previously known depth-$25n$ circuit, also executable in the LNN architecture. Our constructions rely on Bruhat decomposition of the symplectic group and on folding arbitrarily long sequences of the form $($-P-C-$)^m$ into a 3-stage computation -P-CZ-C-. Our results include the reduction of the $11$-stage decomposition -H-C-P-C-P-C-H-P-C-P-C- into a $9$-stage decomposition of the form -C-P-C-P-H-C-P-C-P-. This reduction is based on the Bruhat decomposition of the symplectic group. This result also implies a new normal form for stabilizer circuits. We show that a circuit in this normal form is optimal in the number of Hadamard gates used. We also show that the normal form has an asymptotically optimal number of parameters.

description: We propose a novel system which can transform a recipe into any selected regional style (e.g., Japanese, Mediterranean, or Italian). This system has two characteristics. First the system can identify the degree of regional cuisine style mixture of any selected recipe and visualize such regional cuisine style mixtures using barycentric Newton diagrams. Second, the system can suggest ingredient substitutions through an extended word2vec model, such that a recipe becomes more authentic for any selected regional cuisine style. Drawing on a large number of recipes from Yummly, an example shows how the proposed system can transform a traditional Japanese recipe, Sukiyaki, into French style.
The Building of St. James the Greater, Leicester

description: Two anniversaries have recently been celebrated at the church of St James the Greater, Leicester: one in 1981 to commemorate the foundation of the first church on the site, and the second in 1984 to mark the seventieth anniversary of the completion of the west end, a year which also saw the publication of a survey of the Anglican churches in Leicester. In that publication Brandwood wrote: 'The exterior has little to commend it. Only the west facade was meant to be seen, the rest being obscured by various buildings. The facade, built of brick but with stone for the emphasized parts, is in a free, modern Renaissance style. It aims at a certain distinction but the various parts do not add up to a coherent whole and the result is most disappointing. It is the interior that matters ... In all a most pleasing interior, light and spacious and a far cry from the Gothic essays half a century before. St James can, and should be seen as the first Leicester church to escape fully from the slavery of Gothic detail required by the Ecclesiologists'.

Για την επίλυση του ζητήματος της βελτιστοποίησης της αλυσίδας εφοδιασμού, αρχικά παρουσιάζεται μελέτη της βιβλιογραφίας που αφορά τέτοιου είδους προβλήματα (facility location). Στη συνέχεια, χρησιμοποιώντας μεικτό ακέραιο προγραμματισμό, το πρόβλημα μοντελοποιείται ως ένα Hub location problem. Ως δεδομένα, χρησιμοποιούνται οι τοποθεσίες των εμβολιαστικών κέντρων που βρίσκονται στην Αττική και γίνεται υπόθεση πως οι υποψήφιοι ενδιάμεσοι κόμβοι βρίσκονται σε πέντε σημεία που του νομού όπου σήμερα βρίσκεται η πλειοψηφία των κέντρων αποθήκευσης. Το μοντέλο δομείται στο λογισμικό CPLEX της IBM με τα αποτελέσματα που λαμβάνονται μετά την πρώτη εκτέλεση να δείχνουν πως οι δύο βέλτιστοι ενδιάμεσοι αποθηκευτικοί χώροι για τα σκευάσματα εμβολίων βρίσκονται στις περιοχές Κορωπί και Ταύρος.
The Roman Swithland Slate Industry

description: Swithland slate roofs and tombstones are a familiar sight in Leicestershire today even though extraction of the slate ceased during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. In the two hundred years before that date slate had been extensively quarried and used for many different purposes besides roofs and tombstones including clockfaces, sundials, milestones, cheese presses, fireplaces and salting troughs. Despite the importance of Swithland Slate to the economy of the county between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, a definitive account of the industry and its demise has yet to be written and there is remarkably little in print about its use in Roman times. Several writers have suggested that the Swithland slate industry was more important to the economy of the east Midlands in Roman times than had traditionally been thought, but no detailed analysis has been undertaken to support these statements. The purpose of this paper is to provide the evidence for that assertion

description: In this short note, we mimic the proof of the simplicity of the theory ACFA of generic difference fields in order to provide a criterion, valid for certain theories of pure fields and fields equipped with operators, which shows that a complete theory is simple whenever its definable and algebraic closures are controlled by an underlying stable theory.

description: Recently, the quantumness of local correlations arising from separable states in the context of a Bell scenario has been studied and linked with superlocality [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 95}, 032120 (2017)]. Here we investigate the quantumness of unsteerable correlations in the context of a given steering scenario. Generalizing the concept of superlocality, we define as \textit{super-correlation}, the requirement for a larger dimension of the preshared randomness to simulate the correlations than that of the quantum states that generate them. Since unsteerable states form a subset of Bell local states, it is an interesting question whether certain unsteerable states can be super-correlated. Here, we answer this question in the affirmative. In particular, the quantumness of certain unsteerable correlations can be pointed out by the notion of \textit{super-unsteerability}, the requirement for a larger dimension of the classical variable that the steering party has to preshare with the trusted party for simulating the correlations than that of the quantum states which reproduce them. This provides a generalized approach to quantify the quantumness of unsteerable correlations in convex operational theories.
