description: Data collection is an integral part of any citizen science project. Given the wide variety of projects, some level of expertise or, alternatively, some guidance for novice participants can greatly improve the quality of the collected data. A significant portion of citizen science projects depends on visual data, where photos or videos of different subjects are needed. Often these visual data are collected from all over the world, including remote locations. In this article, we introduce an authoring platform for easily creating mobile apps for citizen science projects that are empowered with client-side machine learning (ML) guidance. The apps created with our platform can help participants recognize the correct data and increase the efficiency of the data collection process. We demonstrate the application of our proposed platform with two use cases: a rip current detection app for a planned pilot study and a detection app for biodiversity-related projects.

description: Without any knowledge of the symmetry existing in the system, we derive the exact forms of the order parameters which show long-range correlation in the ground state of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model using a quantum information approach. Our work demonstrates that the quantum information approach can help us to find the explicit form of the order parameter, which cannot be derived systematically via traditional methods in the condensed matter theory.

Quantifying nonadiabaticity in major families of superconductors

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The classical Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer and Eliashberg theories of the electron-phonon-mediated superconductivity are based on the Migdal theorem, which is an assumption that the energy of charge carriers, $k{_B}T{_F}$, significantly exceeds the phononic energy, $\hbar{ω{_D}} $, of the crystalline lattice. This assumption, which is also known as adiabatic approximation, implies that the superconductor exhibits fast charge carriers and slow phonons. This picture is valid for pure metals and metallic alloys because these superconductors exhibit $\hbar{ω{_D}}$/$k{_B}T{_F}<0.01$. However, n-type doped semiconducting $SrTiO_3$ was the first superconductor which beyond this adiabatic approximation, because this material exhibits $\hbar{ω{_D}}$/$k{_B}T{_F} $~$ 50$. There is growing number of newly discovered superconductors which also beyond the adiabatic approximation. Here, leaving apart pure theoretical aspects of nonadiabatic superconductors, we classified major classes of superconductors (including, elements, A-15 and Heusler alloys, Laves phases, intermetallics, noncentrosymmetric compounds, cuprates, pnictides, highly-compressed hydrides and oxygen, and magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene) by the strength of nonadiabaticity (for which the ratio of the Debye temperature to the Fermi temperature, $T{_θ}/T{_F}$, is used as a criterion for the nonadiabaticity) versus the superconducting transition temperature, $T{_c}$. The discussion of this classification scheme and its relation to other known classification counterparts is given.

Temnothorax acuminatus

description: acuminatus group overview This group is composed of two previously undescribed species, Temnothorax acuminatus sp. nov. and T. tuxtlanus sp. nov., which are found in Southern Mexico, from the mountain complexes of Los Tuxtlas and the Sierra Madre de Chiapas at mid-to-high elevations (Fig. 90). These species are united by the lack of setae on the dorsum of the propodeum, reduced subpetiolar tooth, moderately impressed metanotal groove, posterodorsally directed propodeal spines, and dark coloration. Members of this group have been collected from bark crevices, from under epiphyte mats on treefalls, and from sifted leaf litter. Species of the acuminatus group may be confused with T. acutispinosus sp. nov., which has an overlapping distribution, similar habitus, and lack of setae on the propodeum. Temnothorax acutispinosus sp. nov. can be distinguished from the acuminatus group by the larger subpetiolar tooth and dorsally directed propodeal spines. The two species of the acuminatus group are sister to the remainder of the salvini clade (Prebus, in prep.).

description: Information extraction from scholarly articles is a challenging task due to the sizable document length and implicit information hidden in text, figures, and citations. Scholarly information extraction has various applications in exploration, archival, and curation services for digital libraries and knowledge management systems. We present MORTY, an information extraction technique that creates structured summaries of text from scholarly articles. Our approach condenses the article's full-text to property-value pairs as a segmented text snippet called structured summary. We also present a sizable scholarly dataset combining structured summaries retrieved from a scholarly knowledge graph and corresponding publicly available scientific articles, which we openly publish as a resource for the research community. Our results show that structured summarization is a suitable approach for targeted information extraction that complements other commonly used methods such as question answering and named entity recognition.

description: Amid a strong upsurge in demand and reduced food supplies, the retail cost of a market basket of farm foods averaged 17 percent higher in 1973 than in 1972. The farm value of all food in the market basket averaged nearly a third higher. The farmer's share of the food dollar averaged 46 cents, 6 cents higher than in 1972, and the largest share in 20 years. The farm-to-retail spread, or gross marketing margin, continued to widen in 1973, averaging 6½ percent higher than in 1972. Estimates of cost and profit components of margins for 19 leading food products reveal that labor and packaging costs account for half to two-thirds of the processing margin for most of the items studied. Labor costs alone account for around half of retail store margins. Most other cost components of processing and retailing margins, such as business taxes, advertising, repairs, and rent are around 5 percent or less of the total margin.

Orbital hyperfine interaction and qubit dephasing in carbon nanotube quantum dots

description: Hyperfine interaction (HF) is of key importance for the functionality of solid-state quantum information processing, as it affects qubit coherence and enables nuclear-spin quantum memories. In this work, we complete the theory of the basic hyperfine interaction mechanisms (Fermi contact, dipolar, orbital) in carbon nanotube quantum dots by providing a theoretical description of the orbital HF. We find that orbital HF induces an interaction between the nuclear spins of the nanotube lattice and the valley degree of freedom of the electrons confined in the quantum dot. We show that the resulting nuclear-spin--electron-valley interaction (i) is approximately of Ising type, (ii) is essentially local, in the sense that a radius- and dot-length-independent atomic interaction strength can be defined, and (iii) has an atomic interaction strength that is comparable to the combined strength of Fermi contact and dipolar interactions. We argue that orbital HF provides a new decoherence mechanism for single-electron valley qubits and spin-valley qubits in a range of multi-valley materials. We explicitly evaluate the corresponding inhomogeneous dephasing time $T_2^*$ for a nanotube-based valley qubit.

We construct its phase diagram by a combination of Landau theory analysis and quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we show that the phase boundaries between the paramagnetic state and magnetically ordered states are generically fluctuation-induced first order phase transitions. Our results are potentially applicable to Ru$^{4+}$- and Ir$^{5+}$-based honeycomb magnets.

description: Water is crucial for the emergence and evolution of life on Earth. Recent studies of the water content in early forming planetary systems similar to our own show that water is an abundant and ubiquitous molecule, initially synthesized on the surfaces of tiny interstellar dust grains by the hydrogenation of frozen oxygen. Water then enters a cycle of sublimation/freezing throughout the successive phases of planetary system formation, namely, hot corinos and protoplanetary disks, eventually to be incorporated into planets, asteroids, and comets. The amount of heavy water measured on Earth and in early forming planetary systems suggests that a substantial fraction of terrestrial water was inherited from the very first phases of the Solar System formation and is 4.5 billion years old.

description: The ongoing trend of integrating new comfort and entertainment functionality into cars is leading to an increase in the number of controls operated by the driver. In order to position as much functionality as possible within optimum reach of the driver, complex control designs such as rotary buttons and touchscreens are increasingly being implemented to guide the driver through multi-level menus. However, this also increases the mental effort, hand-eye coordination, visual distraction, and time required to operate these controls. Touch-free gesture control represents an innovative control design with the potential to improve the efficiency of human-machine interactions while driving. The Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors (IAD) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt is currently researching which gestures could theoretically be implemented, based on the criteria of distinguishability, intuitiveness, and efficiency of operation. This paper presents the first results of a preliminary study, as well as a comprehensive catalogue of gestures that meet the criteria identified thus far that should be met by any efficient gesture-based control design.

On the use of the average large separation in surface layer independent model fitting
Creators: name: Roxburgh, Ian W
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The physics of the outer layers of a star are not well understood but these layers make a major contribution to the large separation. We quantify this using stellar models and show that the contribution ranges from 6\% from the outer 0.1\% of the radius to 30\% from the outer 5\%. and therefore argue that the large separation should not be used as a constraint on surface layer independent model fitting. The mass and luminosity are independent of the outer layers and can be used as constraints, the mass being determined from binarity or from surface gravity and radius. The radius can be used as a constraint but with enhanced error estimates. We briefly consider the determination of the large separation for $α$ Cen A and find that mass derived from surface gravity is closer to the binary mass than that derived from the large separation.

description: A malicious cloud user may exploit outsourced data involved in online communication, co-residency, and hypervisor vulnerabilities to breach and hamper sensitive information, and inject malicious traffic-based congestion, rendering services to other benign users. To address this critical and challenging the problem, this letter proposes an Online Secure Communication Model for Cloud (OSC-MC) by identifying and terminating malicious VMs and inter-VM links prior to the occurrence of security threats. The anomalous network traffic, bandwidth usage, and unauthorized inter-VM links are security breach indicators which guides secure cloud communication and resource allocation. The simulation and comparison of the proposed model with existing approaches reveal that it significantly improves authorised inter-communication links up to 34.5% with a reduction of network hogs, and power consumption by 66.46% and 39.31%, respectively.

description: In this paper we consider the question of determining the geometric genera of irreducible curves lying on a very general surface $S$ of degree $d$ at least 5 in $\mathbb{P}^3$ (the cases $d \leqslant 4$ are well known). We introduce the set $Gaps(d)$ of all non-negative integers which are not realized as geometric genera of irreducible curves on $S$. We prove that $Gaps(d)$ is finite and, in particular, that $Gaps(5)= \{0,1,2\}$. The set $Gaps(d)$ is the union of finitely many disjoint and separated integer intervals. The first of them, according to a theorem of Xu, is $Gaps_0(d):=[0, \frac{d(d-3)}{2} - 3]$. We show that the next one is $Gaps_1(d):= [\frac{d^2-3d+4}{2}, d^2-2d-9]$ for all $d \geqslant 6$.

Packing plants now are major receivers of eggs from producers and the major suppliers to retail outlets, institutions, and breakers. The role of wholesale distributors has continued to decline. Direct marketing producers have grown in importance. About 72 percent of the commercial egg supply is consumed as shell eggs by households, 16 percent is used by institutional outlets, and the balance is used in manufactured products.

description: The satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) align with and preferentially orbit in a vast polar structure (VPOS), which also contains globular clusters, stellar and gaseous streams. Similar alignments have been discovered around several other host galaxies. We test whether recently discovered objects in the MW halo, the satellite galaxy/globular cluster transition object named PSO J174.0675-10.8774 or Crater and three stellar streams, are part of the VPOS. Crater is situated close to the VPOS. Incorporating the new object in the VPOS-plane fit slightly improves the alignment of the plane with other features such as the Magellanic stream and the average orbital plane of the satellites co-orbiting in the VPOS. We predict Crater's proper motion by assuming that it, too, orbits in the VPOS. One of the three streams aligns well with the VPOS. Surprisingly, it appears to lie in the exact same orbital plane as the Palomar 5 stream and shares its distance, suggesting a direct connection between the two. The stream also crosses close to the Fornax dwarf galaxy and is oriented approximately along the galaxy's direction of motion. The two other streams cannot align closely with the VPOS because they were discovered in the direction of M31/M33, which is outside of the satellite structure. The VPOS thus attains two new members. This further emphasizes that the highly anisotropic and correlated distribution of satellite objects requires an explanation beyond the suggestion that the MW satellite system is an extreme statistical outlier of a $Λ$CDM sub-halo system.

description: Facial Expression Recognition (FER) in the wild is an extremely challenging task. Recently, some Vision Transformers (ViT) have been explored for FER, but most of them perform inferiorly compared to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). This is mainly because the new proposed modules are difficult to converge well from scratch due to lacking inductive bias and easy to focus on the occlusion and noisy areas. TransFER, a representative transformer-based method for FER, alleviates this with multi-branch attention dropping but brings excessive computations. On the contrary, we present two attentive pooling (AP) modules to pool noisy features directly. The AP modules include Attentive Patch Pooling (APP) and Attentive Token Pooling (ATP). They aim to guide the model to emphasize the most discriminative features while reducing the impacts of less relevant features. The proposed APP is employed to select the most informative patches on CNN features, and ATP discards unimportant tokens in ViT. Being simple to implement and without learnable parameters, the APP and ATP intuitively reduce the computational cost while boosting the performance by ONLY pursuing the most discriminative features. Qualitative results demonstrate the motivations and effectiveness of our attentive poolings. Besides, quantitative results on six in-the-wild datasets outperform other state-of-the-art methods.

Acoustic emission due to the interaction between shock and instability waves in 2D supersonic jet flows

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: An analytical model is developed to study the sound produced by the interaction between shock and instability waves in two-dimensional supersonic jet flows. The jet is considered to be of vortex-sheet type and 2D Euler equations are linearised to determine the governing equations for shock, instability waves, and their interaction. Pack's model is used to describe shock waves, while instability waves are calculated using spatial stability analysis. The interaction between shock and instability waves can be solved analytically by performing Fourier transform and subsequently using the method of steepest descent. Sound produced by the interaction between the instability wave and a single shock cell is studied first, after which that due to a number of cells follows. We find that the model developed in this study can correctly predict the frequencies of the fundamental screech tone and its first and second harmonics. We show that the predicted sound directivity, even from a single shock cell, is in good agreement with experimental data. In particular, this model shows the strongest noise emission close to the upstream direction but the emitted noise starts to rapidly decay as the observer angle approaches 180 degrees, which is in accordance with experimental results; this suggests that the effective noise from a single shock cell is far from of the monopole type as assumed in the classical Powell's model. We find that the noise directivity is very sensitive to the local growth rate of the instability waves and the noise is generated primarily through the Mach wave mechanism.

Lambs born per 100 ewes, lamb market weights, and wool clip per animal were record high. Lamb prices were the highest since 1951 and wool prices, though still low, were above a year earlier. Death loss of sheep in 1972 was about average but death loss of lambs was a record high, having trended upwards since 1967. The higher than normal loss of lambs reduced 1972 operator returns by about 12 percent. Operators of migratory-sheep ranches have relatively high fixed costs. These continued upward in 1972.

description: In this paper, we are concerned with the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (VPB) system in three-dimensional spatial space without angular cutoff in a rectangular duct with or without physical boundary conditions. Near a local Maxwellian with macroscopic quantities given by rarefaction wave solution of one-dimensional compressible Euler equations, we establish the time-asymptotic stability of planar rarefaction wave solutions for the Cauchy problem to VPB system with periodic or specular-reflection boundary condition. In particular, we successfully introduce physical boundaries, namely, specular-reflection boundary, to the models describing wave patterns of kinetic equations. Moreover, we treat the non-cutoff collision kernel instead of the cutoff one. As a simplified model, we also consider the stability and large time behavior of the rarefaction wave solution for the Boltzmann equation.

description: Neutrosophic Statistics means statistical analysis of population or sample that has indeterminate (imprecise, ambiguous, vague, incomplete, unknown) data. For example, the population or sample size might not be exactly determinate because of some individuals that partially belong to the population or sample, and partially they do not belong, or individuals whose appurtenance is completely unknown. Also, there are population or sample individuals whose data could be indeterminate. In this book, we develop the 1995 notion of neutrosophic statistics. We present various practical examples. It is possible to define the neutrosophic statistics in many ways, because there are various types of indeterminacies, depending on the problem to solve.

description: Lipid bilayer membranes are commonly modeled as area-preserving fluid surfaces that resist bending. There appear to be two schools of thought in the literature concerning the actual area constraint. In some works the total or global area (GA) of the vesicle is a prescribed constant, while in others the local area ratio is assigned to unity. In this work we demonstrate the equivalence of these ostensibly distinct approaches in the specific case when the equilibrium configuration is a smooth, closed surface of genus zero. We accomplish this in the context of the Euler-Lagrange equilibrium equations, constraint equations and the second-variation with admissibility conditions, for a broad class of models - including the phase-field type.

description: Analytic continuation is an essential step in extracting information about the dynamical properties of physical systems from quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. Different methods for analytic continuation have been proposed and are still being developed. This paper explores a regularization method based on the repeated application of Tikhonov regularization under the discrepancy principle. The method can be readily implemented in any linear algebra package and gives results surprisingly close to the maximum entropy method (MaxEnt). We analyze the method in detail and demonstrate its connection to MaxEnt. In addition, we provide a straightforward method for estimating the noise level of QMC data, which is helpful for practical applications of the discrepancy principle when the noise level is not known reliably.

Temnothorax altinodus

description: altinodus group overview This group is monotypic, with the nominal Temnothorax altinodus sp. nov. being the only member. It is morphologically similar to the members of the acuminatus and acutispinosus groups, sharing a lack of setae on the propodeal dorsum. It can be distinguished from these groups by the larger subpetiolar tooth (small in the acuminatus group) and the incrassate femora (not incrassate in the acuminatus and acutispinosus groups). Known from a single collection in the mid elevations of Honduras (Fig. 94D), this species is apparently sister to the fuscatus and pergandei groups (Prebus, in prep.).

description: A ban on farm use of lindane and benzene hexachloride (BHC) would have cost U.S. farmers an additional $10.4 million in 1972, mainly for treating livestock. Added costs (based on 1972 acreage) for using alternative insecticides in crop production would have ranged from 2 cents an acre for strawberries to a high of $209 for flowers. In addition, costs for some farmers in value of reduced yields would have ranged from $114 an acre for strawberries to $390 an acre for flowers. Where livestock were treated production costs would have been about 12 cents more per hog, 24 cents more per sheep, and 34 cents more per head of beef cattle. Total U.S. farm consumption of lindane and BHC would have decreased about 643,000 pounds, if discontinued on farms in 1972. However, use of alternative insecticides would have increased about 5.6 million pounds -- 5.2 million pounds for treating livestock.

Detecting dense-matter phase transition signatures in neutron star mass-radius measurements as data anomalies using normalising flows

description: Observations of neutron stars may be used to study aspects of extremely dense matter, specifically a possibility of phase transitions to exotic states, such as de-confined quarks. We present a novel data analysis method for detecting signatures of dense-matter phase transitions in sets of mass-radius measurements, and study its sensitivity with respect to the size of observational errors and the number of observations. The method is based on machine learning anomaly detection coupled with normalizing flows technique: the algorithm trained on samples of astrophysical observations featuring no phase transition signatures interprets a phase transition sample as an ''anomaly''. For the sake of this study, we focus on dense-matter equations of state leading to detached branches of mass-radius sequences (strong phase transitions), use an astrophysically-informed neutron-star mass function, and various magnitudes of observational errors and sample sizes. The method is shown to reliably detect cases of mass-radius relations with phase transition signatures, while increasing its sensitivity with decreasing measurement errors and increasing number of observations. We discuss marginal cases, when the phase transition mass is located near the edges of the mass function range. Evaluated on the current state-of-art selection of real measurements of electromagnetic and gravitational-wave observations, the method gives inconclusive results, which we interpret as due to small available sample size, large observational errors and complex systematics.

description: We have explored prevailing modes of galaxy growth for redshifts z ~ 6-14, comparing substantially overdense and normal regions of the universe, using high-resolution zoom-in cosmological simulations. Such rare overdense regions have been projected to host high-z quasars. We demonstrate that galaxies in such environments grow predominantly by a smooth accretion from cosmological filaments which dominates the mass input from major, intermediate and minor mergers. We find that by z ~6, the accumulated galaxy mass fraction from mergers falls short by a factor of 10 of the cumulative accretion mass for galaxies in the overdense regions, and by a factor of 5 in the normal environments. Moreover, the rate of the stellar mass input from mergers also lies below that of an in-situ star formation (SF) rate. The fraction of stellar masses in galaxies contributed by mergers in overdense regions is ~12%, and ~33% in the normal regions, at these redshifts. Our median SF rates for ~few X 10^9 Mo galaxies agrees well with the recently estimated rates for z ~ 7 galaxies from Spitzer's SURF-UP survey. Finally, we find that the main difference between the normal and overdense regions lies in the amplified growth of massive galaxies in massive dark matter halos. This leads to the formation of >= 10^{10} Mo galaxies due to the ~100-fold increase in mass during the above time period. Such galaxies are basically absent in the normal regions at these redshifts.

description: Context. The globular cluster (GC) system of Circinus galaxy has not been probed previously partly because of the location of the galaxy at - 3.8$^\circ$ Galactic latitude which suffers severely from interstellar extinction, stellar crowding, and Galactic foreground contamination. However, the deep near-infrared (NIR) photometry by the VISTA Variables in the Via Láctea Extended Survey (VVVX) in combination with the precise astrometry of Gaia EDR3 allow us to map GCs in this region. Aims. Our long-term goal is to study and characterise the distributions of GCs and Ultra-compact dwarfs of Circinus galaxy which is the nearest Seyfert II galaxy. Here we conduct the first pilot search for GCs in this galaxy. Methods. We use NIR VVVX photometry in combination with Gaia EDR3 astrometric features such as astrometric excess noise and BP/RP excess factor to build the first homogeneous catalogue of GCs in Circinus galaxy. A robust combination of selection criteria allows us to effectively clean interlopers from our sample. Results. We report the detection of$\sim$ 70 GC candidates in this galaxy at a 3 $σ$ confidence level. They show a bimodal colour distribution with the blue peak at (G-Ks)$_0$ = 0.985$\pm$0.127 mag with a dispersion of 0.211$\pm$0.091 mag and the red peak at (G-Ks)$_0$ = 1.625$\pm$0.177 mag with a dispersion of 0.482$\pm$0.114 mag. A GC specific frequency (S$_N$) of 1.3$\pm$0.2 was derived for the galaxy, and we estimated a total population of 120$\pm$40 GCs. Based on the projected radial distribution it appears that Circinus has a different distribution of GC candidates than MW and M31. Conclusions. We demonstrate that Circinus galaxy hosts a sizeable number of cluster candidates. This result is the first leap towards understanding the evolution of old stellar clusters in this galaxy.

description: A glance at the past has revealed that in the years of reconstruction after the Second World War a different distribution of resources, technological know-how caused a gap between developed and underdeveloped countries, generating rebellions and conflicts. Forecast studies, (Future Studies) and Global Planning showed that the risks of a progressive slowdown in development were largely due to the ecological limits imposed by the world’s finite resources and the inability of the biosphere to absorb the waste produced by men activity. Nowadays, the socio-economic and environmental context appears to be characterized by a “cultural emergency”; by a process of change that lasts over the long term and is distinct from “complexity”; from “globalization”; by the barriers that block the “Development”, hindered by a strong imbalance between men and nature and the inequalities. In this issue, the excursus within today’s instances that characterize the concepts of Culture, Change and Development is the background to the Essays, Experiences, Notes and Comparisons that intersect each other in an operational way, entering into the merits of the individual objectives of the UNO agenda within an epistemological, methodological and technical framework capable of suggesting ideas in the field of public policy design.

description: The strong CP problem is inseparably connected with the topology of gauge fields and the mechanism of color confinement, which requires nonperturbative tools to solve it. In this talk I present results of a recent lattice investigation of QCD with the $θ$ term in collaboration with Yoshifumi Nakamura. The tool we are using to address the nonperturbative properties of the theory is the gradient flow, which is a particular realization of momentum space RG transformations. The novel result is that within QCD the vacuum angle $θ$ is renormalized, together with the strong coupling constant, and flows to $θ= 0$ in the infrared limit. This means that CP is conserved by the strong interactions.

description: Onychophagia, also called nail biting (NB), is a body focused repetitive behaviors or self‑grooming behavior. It is a group of related disorders in which an individual damages his or her appearance or causes physical injury that include pulling, picking, biting, or scraping one’s hair, skin, or nails. NB is a very common, and unresolved, problem in the field of psychiatry, psychology, medicine, and dentistry. NB is a simple behavior associated with obsessive–compulsive‑related disorders. The present paper focuses on the management of NB.
