description: The generalized $Q$-function of a spin system can be considered the outcome probability distribution of a state subjected to a measurement represented by the spin-coherent-state (SCS) positive-operator-valued measure (POVM). As fundamental as the SCS POVM is to the 2-sphere phase-space representation of spin systems, it has only recently been reported that the SCS POVM can be performed for any spin system by continuous isotropic measurement of the three total spin components [E. Shojaee, C. S. Jackson, C. A. Riofrio, A. Kalev, and I. H. Deutsch, Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 130404 (2018)]. This article develops the theoretical details of the continuous isotropic measurement and places it within the general context of curved-phase-space correspondences for quantum systems. The analysis is in terms of the Kraus operators that develop over the course of a continuous isotropic measurement. The Kraus operators of any spin $j$ are shown to represent elements of the Lie group $\mathrm{SL}(2,{\mathbb C})\cong\mathrm{Spin}(3,{\mathbb C})$, a complex version of the usual unitary operators that represent elements of $\mathrm{SU}(2)\cong\mathrm{Spin}(3,{\mathbb R})$. Consequently, the associated POVM elements represent points in the symmetric space $\mathrm{SU}(2)\backslash\mathrm{SL}(2,{\mathbb C})$, which can be recognized as the 3-hyperboloid. Three equivalent stochastic techniques, (Wiener) path integral, (Fokker-Planck) diffusion equation, and stochastic differential equations, are applied to show that the continuous isotropic POVM quickly limits to the SCS~\hbox{POVM}, placing spherical phase space at the boundary of the fundamental Lie group $\mathrm{SL}(2,{\mathbb C})$ in an operationally meaningful way. The Kraus-operator-centric analysis is representation independent -- and therefore geometric (independent of any spectral information about the spin components).

description: OAuth protocols have been widely adopted to simplify user authentication and service authorization for third-party applications. However, little effort has been devoted to automatically checking the security of the libraries that service providers widely use. In this paper, we formalize the OAuth specifications and security best practices, and design Cerberus, an automated static analyzer, to find logical flaws and identify vulnerabilities in the implementation of OAuth service provider libraries. To efficiently detect security violations in a large codebase of service provider implementation, Cerberus employs a query-driven algorithm for answering queries about OAuth specifications. We demonstrate the effectiveness of Cerberus by evaluating it on datasets of popular OAuth libraries with millions of downloads. Among these high-profile libraries, Cerberus has identified 47 vulnerabilities from ten classes of logical flaws, 24 of which were previously unknown. We got acknowledged by the developers of eight libraries and had three accepted CVEs.

description: Consider the steady solution to the incompressible Euler equation $\bar u=Ae_1$ in the periodic tunnel $Ω=\mathbb T^{d-1}\times(0,1)$ in dimension $d=2,3$. Consider now the family of solutions $u^ν$ to the associated Navier-Stokes equation with the no-slip condition on the flat boundaries, for small viscosities $ν=A/\mathsf{Re}$, and initial values in $L^2$. We are interested in the weak inviscid limits up to subsequences $u^ν\rightharpoonup u^\infty$ when both the viscosity $ν$ converges to 0, and the initial value $u^ν_0$ converges to $Ae_1$ in $L^2$. Under a conditional assumption on the energy dissipation close to the boundary, Kato showed in 1984 that $u^ν$ converges to $Ae_1$ strongly in $L^2$ uniformly in time under this double limit. It is still unknown whether this inviscid limit is unconditionally true. The convex integration method produces solutions $u _E$ to the Euler equation with the same initial values $Ae_1$ which verify at time $0

description: Room temperature ionic liquids show potential as an alternative to conventional organic membrane solvents mainly due to their properties of low vapor pressure, low volatility and they are often stable. In the present work, the technical feasibilities of room temperature ionic liquids as bulk liquid membranes for phenol removal were investigated experimentally. Three ionic liquids with high hydrophobicity were used and their phenol removal efficiency, membrane stability and membrane loss were studied. Besides that, the effects of several parameters, namely feed phase pH, feed concentration, NaOH concentration and stirring speeds on the performance of best ionic liquid membrane were also evaluated. Lastly, an optimization study on bulk ionic liquid membrane was conducted and the maximum phenol removal efficiency was compared with the organic liquid membranes. The preliminary study shows that high phenol extraction and stripping efficiencies of 96.21% and 98.10%, respectively can be achieved by ionic liquid membrane with a low membrane loss which offers a better choice to organic membrane solvents.

description: Nuclear cogeneration is the collation of co-processes that aims to improve the sustainability, overall efficiency, and profitability of nuclear power by producing alternative products alongside electricity. A range of existing cogeneration processes explores the use of waste stream process heat for a variety of processes including district heating and desalination. However, the direct application of under-utilized ionization energy has yet to be fully realized. This thesis is a study on the potential application of ionizing radiation from nuclear facilities towards the radiolytic production of organic chemicals derived from waste renewable feedstocks. Here we show that glycerol, a notable waste feedstock from biodiesel production can be converted into acetol (hydroxyacetone) or solketal which are textile and biofuel additives, respectively using ionizing radiation from a 250-kW research fission reactor. The radical-initiated chain reaction for hydroxyl acetone (acetol) production is optimised to produce the highest G value (2.7 ± 0.4 µmol J−1) and mass productivity (~1 %) to be reported in the available radiolysis literature. A previously unreported radiolytic product, solketal, which is a valuable biofuel additive is produced radiolytically using ternary glycerol, acetone, and water mixtures with G-values of 1.5 ± 0.2 µmol J−1 at 50 kGy. Empirical data showed a preference for low LET, low dose rate, γ-ray emissions such as those from spent fuel was found to be favourable for acetol and solketal production. Simulating three production scenarios with MCNP models for preferential solketal production found that a spent fuel facility consisting of ~1710 elements showed the largest production capacity at 57.4 ± 5.6 t year−1 due to the high volume available to be irradiated. Extrapolating to a theoretical European production network involving ~180 equivalent SFP facilities based on relative reactor power, a total of (1.3 ± 0.1) × 104 t year−1 of solketal could be produced, contributing to (2.5 ± 0.2) × 108 litres year−1 to a (95% petroleum, 5% solketal) fuel blend. While this represents only ~0.3 % of total transport fuels consumed within the EU, it presents a pioneering process that could be feasible if G-values and mass productivities were improved upon.
Transport und chemische Umwandlung von Luftschadstoffen im Nahbereich von Autobahnen - Numerische Simulationen
Creators: name: Baeumer, Dominique
Publisher: name: Universität Karlsruhe (TH)
Year: 2003

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird auf der Basis von Turbulenzmessungen an einer Autobahn eine Parametrisierung der autobahninduzierten Turbulenz entwickelt und in das Modellsystem KAMM/DRAIS integriert, um die Ausbreitung und die chemische Umwandlung von Luftschadstoen im Nahbereich einer Autobahn zu simulieren. Die Autobahn beeinusst das Turbulenzfeld durch zwei unterschiedliche Mechanismen, die fahrzeuginduzierte Turbulenz und die Turbulenzproduktion infolge der Überströmung des Autobahndammes, da dieser als Ströomungshindernis wirkt. Beide Effekte werden im gemessenen Turbulenzfeld nachgewiesen und parametrisiert. Anhand eines Vergleichs von gemessenen vertikalen Profilen der Differenz der CO-Konzentration zwischen Lee und Luv einer Autobahn und gemessenen vertikalen Konzentrationsprofilen eines Tracers bei einem aus der Literatur bekannten Ausbreitungsexperiment mit Modellergebnissen kann die neue Parametrisierung verifiziert werden. Nur bei Verwendung der vollständigen Parametrisierung der autobahninduzierten Turbulenz wird die Abgasfahnenhöhe und die bodennahe Maximalkonzentration richtig beschrieben. Mit dem so erweiterten Modellsystem werden im folgenden zeitliche und räumliche Konzentrationsverteilungen reaktiver Substanzen im Nahbereich der Autobahn simuliert. Am Beispiel der chemischen Wechselwirkung von Stickoxiden und Ozon kann der große Einuss der Chemie aufgezeigt werden. So zeigt NO ein sehr viel schnelleres Abklingen im Lee der Autobahn im Vergleich zum nur vom Transport beeinussten CO, während NO2 ein viel langsameres Abklingen erkennen lässt, da es chemisch produziert wird. Einige weitere nicht emittierte Substanzen weisen bodennah einen signifikanten Konzentrationsrückgang beim Überströmen der Autobahn auf. Das OH-Radikal zeigt zusätzlich einen deutlichen Anstieg im oberen Bereich der Abgasfahne. In einem weiteren Abschnitt wird die Ausbreitung von auf der Autobahn emittiertem Grobstaub simuliert. Dieser Grobstaub entsteht vor allem durch Abrieb von Reifen, Bremsbelägen und Fahrbahnoberfläche sowie durch Resuspension. Die simulierten Konzentrationsverteilungen im Lee der Autobahn lassen einen großen Einuss der autobahninduzierten Turbulenz erkennen. Die Reichweite der Partikel hängt stark von ihrem Durchmesser ab und nimmt für sehr große Partikel mit einem Durchmesser von 100 m geringe Werte von einigen Metern an. Kleine Partikel mit einem Durchmesser von 1 m verhalten sich im Nahbereich der Autobahn sehr ähnlich wie ein inertes Gas. Das charakteristische Aussehen gemessener Größenverteilungen des Grobstaubs kann mit den Modellrechnungen erklärt werden.

description: Early parenthood is a significant developmental stage that involves abrupt and dramatic changes to a new parent’s life. It is thought to be both a stressful and rewarding period, requiring significant adjustment to pre-parenthood lifestyles and routines. This study explores the emotional journey that new parents experience during the early phases of parenthood, examining these with a critical lens and giving consideration to the impacts of social constructions on early parenthood. Thirty parents were interviewed as part of a grounded theory study which uncovered parents’ experiences of significant emotional disturbance including self-doubt, isolation and loneliness. Both the role (lack of sleep, frustration) and social expectations and demands contributed to emotional disturbance. Many parents experienced a culture of comparison, competition and judgement that impacted on their emotional well-being, which we believe can be resisted with professional and social supports and the application of critical reflection.

description: Knowledge graph is a knowledge base containing integrated data in a graph-structure. Prior knowledge included in knowledge graph can make up for the insufficient reasoning ability of statistical machine learning methods. By utilizing representation of knowledge, researchers and information practitioners are capable of deepening algorithms’ understanding of the real world by introducing plentiful common sense. However, a problem confusing researcher for a long period is that computers have difficulty in comprehending knowledge stored in knowledge graph, preventing the efficient usage of these graph-structured information. This study aims at presenting a comprehensive analysis on the knowledge representation generated by multiple methods. This analysis may inspire readers to reflect characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of knowledge representation learning models.

description: A drawing of a graph is $k$-plane if every edge contains at most $k$ crossings. A $k$-plane drawing is saturated if we cannot add any edge so that the drawing remains $k$-plane. It is well-known that saturated $0$-plane drawings, that is, maximal plane graphs, of $n$ vertices have exactly $3n-6$ edges. For $k>0$, the number of edges of saturated $n$-vertex $k$-plane graphs can take many different values. In this note, we establish some bounds on the minimum number of edges of saturated $2$-plane graphs under different conditions. If two edges can cross at most once, then such a graph has at least $n-1$ edges. If two edges can cross many times, then we show the tight bound of $\lfloor2n/3\rfloor$ for the number of edges.

Quantity discrimination in a spontaneous task in a poison frog

Year: 2022

description: The use of quantitative information underlies a range of animal behaviors. There are thought to be two parallel systems for judging quantity: a precise representation of small numbers of objects, typically less than 4, that can be tracked visually (object tracking system) and an imprecise system for larger quantities (approximate number system) governed by Weber's law. Using a spontaneous discrimination task with live prey, we examined the ability of the poison frog Dendrobates auratus to discriminate quantities of low (1–4) or high (4–16) numerosity over a range of ratio contrasts (0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 0.75). Similar to a previous study in treefrogs, we found that the poison frogs chose the larger quantity of flies when choosing between 1 and 3 and between 1 and 2. However, their performance was near chance when choosing between 2 and 3 and below chance when choosing between 3 and 4. When the numerosity of flies was higher, they did not discriminate between the larger and smaller quantity. Our findings are consistent with the ability of poison frogs to discriminate small quantities of objects using an object tracking system, but could also reflect a singular vs. plural discrimination. We did not find evidence of an approximate number system governed by Weber’s law, nor evidence of a speed–accuracy tradeoff. However, total set size was associated with lower accuracy and longer latencies to choose. Future studies should explore quantity discrimination in additional contexts to better understand the limits of these abilities in poison frogs.

description: Interesting deformations of AdS_5 x S^5 such as the gravity dual of noncommutative SYM and Schödinger spacetimes have recently been shown to be integrable. We clarify questions regarding the reality and integrability properties of the associated construction based on R matrices that solve the classical Yang-Baxter equation, and present an overview of manifestly real R matrices associated to the various deformations. We also discuss when these R matrices should correspond to TsT transformations, which not all do, and briefly analyze the symmetries preserved by these deformations, for example finding Schrödinger superalgebras that were previously obtained as subalgebras of psu(2,2|4). Our results contain a (singular) generalization of an apparently non-TsT deformation of AdS_5 x S^5, whose status as a string background is an interesting open question.

description: Recently, Benini et al. showed that, in simply connected wandering domains of entire functions, all pairs of orbits behave in the same way relative to the hyperbolic metric, thus giving us our first insight into the general internal dynamics of such domains. After proving in a recent manuscript that the same is not true for multiply connected wandering domains, a natural question is: how inhomogeneous can multiply connected wandering domains be? We give an answer to this question, in that we show that uniform dynamics inside an open subset of the domain generalises to the whole wandering domain. As an application of this result, we construct the first example of a meromorphic function with a semi-contracting infinitely connected wandering domain.

description: The lifelong learning paradigm in machine learning is an attractive alternative to the more prominent isolated learning scheme not only due to its resemblance to biological learning but also its potential to reduce energy waste by obviating excessive model re-training. A key challenge to this paradigm is the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. With the increasing popularity and success of pre-trained models in machine learning, we pose the question: What role does pre-training play in lifelong learning, specifically with respect to catastrophic forgetting? We investigate existing methods in the context of large, pre-trained models and evaluate their performance on a variety of text and image classification tasks, including a large-scale study using a novel data set of 15 diverse NLP tasks. Across all settings, we observe that generic pre-training implicitly alleviates the effects of catastrophic forgetting when learning multiple tasks sequentially compared to randomly initialized models. We then further investigate why pre-training alleviates forgetting in this setting. We study this phenomenon by analyzing the loss landscape, finding that pre-trained weights appear to ease forgetting by leading to wider minima. Based on this insight, we propose jointly optimizing for current task loss and loss basin sharpness to explicitly encourage wider basins during sequential fine-tuning. We show that this optimization approach outperforms several state-of-the-art task-sequential continual learning algorithms across multiple settings, occasionally even without retaining a memory that scales in size with the number of tasks.
Building Capacity to Receive: How Four Communities in the U.S. are Preparing for Climate Driven In-Migration
Creators: name: Hickey, Fern
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: In the U.S. and throughout the globe, the impacts of climate change will cause significant migration both within and between countries. While some communities will confront shrinking populations and a smaller tax base, others will need to prepare to receive these migrants and accommodate resulting population growth. A growing body of work focuses on out-migration and displacement, but there is little understanding and virtually no guidance for what communities on the receiving end should be doing to prepare for it.

This paper explores lessons learned and issues raised from case studies of four communities in the U.S. that have begun to experience or anticipate in-migration as an impact of climate change. Buffalo, NY and Cincinnati, OH have been identified as relative havens from the most extreme climate impacts and see climate driven in-migration as a way to breathe new life into otherwise shrinking cities. Orlando, FL and St. Tammany Parish, LA are less buffered from climate extremes and hazards, but have received large numbers of climate driven migrants already due to their relative proximity and connections to even more disaster-prone areas along the coast. Climate driven in-migration can provide opportunities for local growth and economic development—especially for rural areas and cities that have experienced decades of decline—but can also strain local infrastructure and resources.

Findings from stakeholder interviews in each of these communities highlight affordable housing shortages, cultural and language barriers to accessing local services, and mental health needs of migrants as some of the challenges that need to be addressed to better prepare for migrants. Even in these communities that have publicly acknowledged in-migration as a current or potential impact of climate change, however, planning for the local impacts of this migration is still in very early stages. Stakeholders identified lack of awareness, lack of data, competition with other local priorities, and the absence of federal funding for receiving communities as primary barriers to local planning and preparation for climate migration. In the face of these barriers, the presence of local champions can help to maintain and expand local attention on this issue, while participation in national peer learning networks can support local progress by providing access to resources and information as well as opportunities to learn with and from other communities. Though this study focuses on experiences and approaches at the local level, greater regional, state, and federal coordination were identified as critical elements in responding to increasing migration and building local capacity to receive.

description: Στη σύγχρονη πραγματικότητα, όλο και περισσότεροι είναι οι άνθρωποι που συνδέονται στο Διαδίκτυο, ανταλλάσσοντας πληροφορίες, μέσω ποικίλων μορφών επικοινωνίας. Χάρη στους ισχυρούς αλγορίθμους που έχουν δημιουργηθεί, τα δεδομένα που παράγονται μέσα από αυτές τις επικοινωνίες μπορούν να συλλεχθούν, να αναλυθούν και να παρέχουν γνώση. Οι τεράστιες ποσότητες των δεδομένων που συλλέγονται από διάφορες πηγές (π.χ. διαδίκτυο, αισθητήρες κλπ) έχουν φέρει στο προσκήνιο την έννοια των Δεδομένων Μεγάλου Όγκου (Big Data). Η ανάλυση αυτών βοηθά πλέον στη λήψη αποφάσεων σε πολλούς τομείς όπως το μάρκετινγκ μέσω εξατομικευμένων διαφημίσεων ανάλογα με τα προφίλ που δημιουργούνται γύρω από τα υποκείμενα των δεδομένων. Ωστόσο, παρόλο που η αξιοποίηση των σύγχρονων τεχνολογιών για την ανάλυση των Big Data μπορεί να καταστήσει τη λήψη αποφάσεων ευκολότερη και αποδοτικότερη περιορίζοντας την ανθρώπινη παρέμβαση, υπάρχει ο κίνδυνος της αποκάλυψης των δεδομένων που προκύπτουν από μια παραβίαση ασφάλειας ή την ανταλλαγή δεδομένων σε τρίτους χωρίς τη συγκατάθεση του ατόμου προσβάλλοντας έτσι το δικαίωμά του στην ιδιωτική ζωή. Η συμμόρφωση με την προστασία των προσωπικών δεδομένων στον σύγχρονο κόσμο που χαρακτηρίζεται από την ψηφιοποίηση και την τεχνολογική εξέλιξη αποτελεί πρόκληση για τη Μηχανική Μάθηση και εφαρμογές όπως είναι η κατάρτιση προφίλ και η αυτοματοποιημένη λήψη αποφάσεων. Ο Γενικός Κανονισμός Προστασίας των δεδομένων, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις, συμπεριλαμβάνει δικλείδες ασφαλείας προκειμένου να προστατεύονται τα υποκείμενα των δεδομένων και το αναφαίρετο δικαίωμά τους στην ιδιωτικότητα.

description: This article covers a nouveau idea of how to collect and handle geophysical data with a peer-to-peer network in near real-time. The text covers a brief introduction to the cause, the technology, and the particular case of collecting data from GNSS stations. We describe the proof-of-concept implementation that has been tested. The test was conducted with an experimental GNSS station and a data aggregation facility. In the test, original raw GNSS signal measurements were transferred to the data aggregation center and subsequently to the consumer. Our implementation utilized BitTorrent to communicate and transfer data. The solution could be used to establish the majority of data aggregation centers activities to provide fast, reliable, and transparent real-time data handling experience to the scientific community.

description: Knowledge discovery in databases aims at finding useful information, which can be deployed for decision making. The problem of high utility itemset mining has specifically garnered huge research focus in the past decade, as it aims to find the patterns from the databases that conform to an objective utility function. Several algorithms exist in literature to mine the high utility items from the databases; however, most of them require large execution time and have high memory consumption. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, R-Miner, based on a novel data structure, called the residue maps, that stores the utility information of an item directly and is used for the mining process. Several experiments are undertaken to assess the efficacy of the proposed algorithm against the benchmark algorithms. The experimental results indicate that the R-Miner algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art mining algorithms.

description: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of novel lipoglycopeptides in treating acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs). PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Turning Research into Practice, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to 20 May 2021. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the clinical efficacy and safety of lipoglycopeptides with other comparators in treating adult patients with ABSSSIs were included. The primary outcome was clinical response. Eight RCTs (6416 patients; lipoglycopeptides: 3359, comparators: 3057) were enrolled. Clinical response rate was not significantly different between lipoglycopeptides and comparators at early-clinical-evaluation (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.01 [0.85–1.20], I2 = 34%), end-of-treatment (0.94 [0.80–1.11], I2 = 0%), and test-of-cure (1.05 [0.85–1.30], I2 = 0%). Lipoglycopeptides showed a similar overall microbiological eradication rate (1.12 [0.90–1.38], I2 = 21%) but a borderline higher microbiological eradication rate for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (1.37 [1.00–1.86], I2 = 0%) than the comparators. Lipoglycopeptides were not associated with a higher risk than comparators. Lipoglycopeptides can achieve similar clinical and microbiological responses to other comparators in treating ABSSSIs. In addition, lipoglycopeptides are as tolerable as their comparators.

The versatility and paradox of BMP signaling in endothelial cell behaviors and blood vessel function

description: Blood vessels expand via sprouting angiogenesis, and this process involves numerous endothelial cell behaviors, such as collective migration, proliferation, cell–cell junction rearrangements, and anastomosis and lumen formation. Subsequently, blood vessels remodel to form a hierarchical network that circulates blood and delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissue. During this time, endothelial cells become quiescent and form a barrier between blood and tissues that regulates transport of liquids and solutes. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling regulates both proangiogenic and homeostatic endothelial cell behaviors as blood vessels form and mature. Almost 30 years ago, human pedigrees linked BMP signaling to diseases associated with blood vessel hemorrhage and shunts, and recent work greatly expanded our knowledge of the players and the effects of vascular BMP signaling. Despite these gains, there remain paradoxes and questions, especially with respect to how and where the different and opposing BMP signaling outputs are regulated. This review examines endothelial cell BMP signaling in vitro and in vivo and discusses the paradox of BMP signals that both destabilize and stabilize endothelial cell behaviors.

AdaTerm: Adaptive T-Distribution Estimated Robust Moments for Noise-Robust Stochastic Gradient Optimization

description: With the increasing practicality of deep learning applications, practitioners are inevitably faced with datasets corrupted by noise from various sources such as measurement errors, mislabeling, and estimated surrogate inputs/outputs that can adversely impact the optimization results. It is a common practice to improve the optimization algorithm's robustness to noise, since this algorithm is ultimately in charge of updating the network parameters. Previous studies revealed that the first-order moment used in Adam-like stochastic gradient descent optimizers can be modified based on the Student's t-distribution. While this modification led to noise-resistant updates, the other associated statistics remained unchanged, resulting in inconsistencies in the assumed models. In this paper, we propose AdaTerm, a novel approach that incorporates the Student's t-distribution to derive not only the first-order moment but also all the associated statistics. This provides a unified treatment of the optimization process, offering a comprehensive framework under the statistical model of the t-distribution for the first time. The proposed approach offers several advantages over previously proposed approaches, including reduced hyperparameters and improved robustness and adaptability. This noise-adaptive behavior contributes to AdaTerm's exceptional learning performance, as demonstrated through various optimization problems with different and/or unknown noise ratios. Furthermore, we introduce a new technique for deriving a theoretical regret bound without relying on AMSGrad, providing a valuable contribution to the field
