description: Recently, three successful antineutrino experiments (Daya Bay, Double Chooz, and RENO) measured the neutrino mixing angle theta_{13}; however, significant discrepancies were found, both in the absolute flux and spectral shape. Much effort has been expended investigating the possible reasons for the discrepancies. In this study, Monte Carlo-based sampling was used to evaluate the fission fraction uncertainties. We found that fission cross-section uncertainties are an important source of uncertainty for $^{235}$U, $^{239}$Pu, and $^{241}$Pu, but for $^{238}$U, elastic and inelastic cross-sections are more important. Among uncertainty related to manufacturing parameters, fuel density is the main uncertainty; however, the total manufacturing uncertainty was very small. The uncertainties induced by burnup were evaluated through the atomic density uncertainty of the four isotopes. The total fission fraction uncertainties from reactor simulation were 0.83%, 2.24%, 1.79%, and 2.59% for235U, 238U, 239Pu, and 241Pu, respectively, at the middle of the fuel cycle. The total fission fraction uncertainty was smaller than the previously derived value of 5\%. These results are helpful for studying the reactor antineutrino anomaly and precisely measuring the antineutrino spectrum in the Daya Bay antineutrino experiment.

description: The figure of the reformed drunkard, signing the pledge and leading an upright, moral and sober life to the benefit of his family and society, with corresponding benefit to his own self esteem and economic standing, is familiar in the works of Victorian writers. The platforms of the Temperance Movement furnished many a model of such lost souls redeemed, contrasting their profligate past with the rewards of sobriety. But the social effects of Temperance Movement are not easy to evaluate. In the first place the word became a misnomer with the rise of the "total-abstinence" cause in the 1830s. Prior to this, the campaign against over-indulgence in drink often took the form of refusal to drink wine and spirits as opposed to beer. Temperance to its earlier proponents meant moderation; but as the teetotalers gained control the movement was "launched on its path of extremism . . . the movement's original aim, the prevention of drunkenness, was sub-ordinated to the pursuit of consistency.

Parallel Sort-Based Matching for Data Distribution Management on Shared-Memory Multiprocessors

description: In this paper we consider the problem of identifying intersections between two sets of d-dimensional axis-parallel rectangles. This is a common problem that arises in many agent-based simulation studies, and is of central importance in the context of High Level Architecture (HLA), where it is at the core of the Data Distribution Management (DDM) service. Several realizations of the DDM service have been proposed; however, many of them are either inefficient or inherently sequential. These are serious limitations since multicore processors are now ubiquitous, and DDM algorithms -- being CPU-intensive -- could benefit from additional computing power. We propose a parallel version of the Sort-Based Matching algorithm for shared-memory multiprocessors. Sort-Based Matching is one of the most efficient serial algorithms for the DDM problem, but is quite difficult to parallelize due to data dependencies. We describe the algorithm and compute its asymptotic running time; we complete the analysis by assessing its performance and scalability through extensive experiments on two commodity multicore systems based on a dual socket Intel Xeon processor, and a single socket Intel Core i7 processor.

description: Biological plastic neural networks are systems of extraordinary computational capabilities shaped by evolution, development, and lifetime learning. The interplay of these elements leads to the emergence of adaptive behavior and intelligence. Inspired by such intricate natural phenomena, Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (EPANNs) use simulated evolution in-silico to breed plastic neural networks with a large variety of dynamics, architectures, and plasticity rules: these artificial systems are composed of inputs, outputs, and plastic components that change in response to experiences in an environment. These systems may autonomously discover novel adaptive algorithms, and lead to hypotheses on the emergence of biological adaptation. EPANNs have seen considerable progress over the last two decades. Current scientific and technological advances in artificial neural networks are now setting the conditions for radically new approaches and results. In particular, the limitations of hand-designed networks could be overcome by more flexible and innovative solutions. This paper brings together a variety of inspiring ideas that define the field of EPANNs. The main methods and results are reviewed. Finally, new opportunities and developments are presented.
A Parallel Solver for Graph Laplacians

Subjects: subject: Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing (cs.DC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Problems from graph drawing, spectral clustering, network flow and graph partitioning can all be expressed in terms of graph Laplacian matrices. There are a variety of practical approaches to solving these problems in serial. However, as problem sizes increase and single core speeds stagnate, parallelism is essential to solve such problems quickly. We present an unsmoothed aggregation multigrid method for solving graph Laplacians in a distributed memory setting. We introduce new parallel aggregation and low degree elimination algorithms targeted specifically at irregular degree graphs. These algorithms are expressed in terms of sparse matrix-vector products using generalized sum and product operations. This formulation is amenable to linear algebra using arbitrary distributions and allows us to operate on a 2D sparse matrix distribution, which is necessary for parallel scalability. Our solver outperforms the natural parallel extension of the current state of the art in an algorithmic comparison. We demonstrate scalability to 576 processes and graphs with up to 1.7 billion edges.

description: The 19th Century saw veritable tidal waves crossing the sea of faith. The established church, shaken out of its comfortable complacency by the enthusiasm of the Methodist revival in the previous century, was affected on the one hand by evangelistic fervour and on the other by the appeal to its medieval past in the Oxford movement. Established church and non-conformist alike were threatened by the revival of Roman Catholicism; while the Christian Church of all denominations was attacked and eroded by the growing confidence of scientific rationalism.

description: Quelque soit le domaine dans lequel il est utilisé, le dessin est un outil puissant pour penser et pour communiquer. Selon que le conformisme au modèle réel est plus ou moins existant ou voulu, le dessin peut se décliner dans une succession de formes. Cependant, en termes d’objets d’apprentissages, seul ses formes les plus abstraites - modélisation, schéma, graphique - sont reconnues dans le plan d’étude roman (PER), comme outil de raisonnement pour les sciences et les mathématiques. A l’instar de l’image naturaliste qui est le reflet des connaissances scientifiques sur un sujet naturaliste, le dessin nécessite de maîtriser l’observation et l’analyse minutieuse de l’objet qu’il restitue sous cette forme d’expression et il apparaît qu’en encourageant l’élève à dessiner, le maître lui offre la possibilité de perfectionner son sens de l’observation et ses facultés d’analyse. Comme ces dernières sont constitutives de la démarche scientifique, qui, elle, fait partie des objectifs du plan d’étude romand (PER MSN35) pour les sciences de la nature, le dessin devrait tout naturellement y trouver sa place. D’autant plus que certains auteurs y trouvent aussi une aide aux tâches de mémorisation, de l’apprentissage des relations à l’espace et une stimulation du plaisir d’apprendre. Les résultats de ce travail de mémoire tendent à montrer que le dessin est un très bon outil d’apprentissage des sciences de la nature. D’abord, par son impact sur la construction de la pensée visuelle, qui permet de développer la capacité à former des idées originales à partir de combinaisons de différents éléments - ce qui est indispensable à la formation de la créativité. Mais, il ressort aussi de la partie expérimentale de ce travail, que le dessin, sous plusieurs de ses formes, peut être plus efficace que le texte dans l’acquisition d’objets d’apprentissage du PER, lié au savoir savant. Dans cette optique, la pratique du dessin comme outil d’apprentissage des sciences de la nature, mériterait d’être plus valorisée, et non pas de faire partie uniquement de la démarche scientifique sous ses formes les plus abstraites.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel ranking framework for collaborative filtering with the overall aim of learning user preferences over items by minimizing a pairwise ranking loss. We show the minimization problem involves dependent random variables and provide a theoretical analysis by proving the consistency of the empirical risk minimization in the worst case where all users choose a minimal number of positive and negative items. We further derive a Neural-Network model that jointly learns a new representation of users and items in an embedded space as well as the preference relation of users over the pairs of items. The learning objective is based on three scenarios of ranking losses that control the ability of the model to maintain the ordering over the items induced from the users' preferences, as well as, the capacity of the dot-product defined in the learned embedded space to produce the ordering. The proposed model is by nature suitable for implicit feedback and involves the estimation of only very few parameters. Through extensive experiments on several real-world benchmarks on implicit data, we show the interest of learning the preference and the embedding simultaneously when compared to learning those separately. We also demonstrate that our approach is very competitive with the best state-of-the-art collaborative filtering techniques proposed for implicit feedback.

description: BackgroundThe European Commission is committed to achieving the zero-pollution vision for air, water and soil by 2050. The European Green Deal announced bold action points to achieve a toxic-free environment and a circular economy by 2050, going beyond climate neutrality. The Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability towards a Toxic-Free Environment aims to better protect humans and the environment from hazardous chemicals. The risk posed by hazardous chemicals is a systemic problem, driven by production and consumption patterns, as well as the lack of environmental monitoring techniques and remediation solutions and the limited availability and quality of the (eco)toxicological data, especially for exposure to mixtures, needed for a comprehensive safety assessment.The six Horizon 2020 research and innovation action projects in the Green Deal Health Cluster – ALTERNATIVE, LIFESAVER, PANORAMIX, PROMISCES, SCENARIOS and ZeroPM, are firmly aligned with the vision and goals of the Green Deal. The projects are establishing new knowledge to support next-generation risk assessment and regulation, explore the feasibility of new or improved environmental remediation technologies and hazard assessment methods, and demonstrate innovative solutions to protect health, the environment and natural resources from hazardous chemicals including persistent, mobile and toxic substances.This policy brief has been created for policy makers and provides key findings and recommendations from these projects that are deemed essential to achieve the goal of a zero-pollution Europe

description: The gradient flow and its small flow-time expansion provide a very versatile method to represent renormalized composite operators in a regularization-independent manner. This technique has been utilized to construct typical Noether currents such as the energy--momentum tensor and the axial-vector current in lattice gauge theory. In this paper, we apply the same technique to the supercurrent in the four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ super Yang--Mills theory (4D $\mathcal{N}=1$ SYM) in the Wess--Zumino gauge. Since this approach provides a priori a representation of the properly normalized conserved supercurrent, our result should be useful, e.g., in lattice numerical simulations of the 4D $\mathcal{N}=1$ SYM; the conservation of the so-constructed supercurrent can be used as a criterion for the supersymmetric point toward which the gluino mass is tuned.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 66, 83-91
description: Evidence now suggests that the core area for the development of East Midlands Scored Ware may have been the upper Nene Valley in the late fourth and third centuries B.C. rather than the more generally accepted Ancaster-Breedon area. In some places, in the more northerly part of the distribution it continued in use alongside wheel made pottery of the first century A.D. The distribution, overlaps with two distinctive styles of middle and late La Tene decorated pottery, one in north and central Lincolnshire and the other centred on Hunsbury in the upper Nene Valley. The distinction between the users of the fine decorated pottery and of scored ware may have been one of status rather than chronology.

To our best knowledge this is the first example of a renormalizable 3-3-1 model, which allows explanation of the SM fermion mass hierarchy by a sequential loop suppression: tree-level top and exotic fermion masses, 1-loop bottom, charm, tau and muon masses; 2-loop masses for the light up, down, strange quarks as well as for the electron. The light active neutrino masses are generated from a combination of linear and inverse seesaw mechanisms at two loop level. The model also has viable fermionic and scalar dark matter candidates.

Perfect Sampling for Quantum Gibbs States

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show how to obtain perfect samples from a quantum Gibbs state on a quantum computer. To do so, we adapt one of the `Coupling from the Past'-algorithms proposed by Propp and Wilson. The algorithm has a probabilistic run-time and produces perfect samples without any previous knowledge of the mixing time of a quantum Markov chain. To implement it, we assume we are able to perform the phase estimation algorithm for the underlying Hamiltonian and implement a quantum Markov chain such that the transition probabilities between eigenstates only depend on their energy. We provide some examples of quantum Markov chains that satisfy these conditions and analyze the expected run-time of the algorithm, which depends strongly on the degeneracy of the underlying Hamiltonian. For Hamiltonians with highly degenerate spectrum, it is efficient, as it is polylogarithmic in the dimension and linear in the mixing time. For non-degenerate spectra, its runtime is essentially the same as its classical counterpart, which is linear in the mixing time and quadratic in the dimension, up to a logarithmic factor in the dimension. We analyze the circuit depth necessary to implement it, which is proportional to the sum of the depth necessary to implement one step of the quantum Markov chain and one phase estimation. This algorithm is stable under noise in the implementation of different steps. We also briefly discuss how to adapt different `Coupling from the Past'-algorithms to the quantum setting.

The Custody of Leicester's Archives from 1273 to 1947

Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 66, 105-120
description: From the time of their earliest recorded mention the Leicester archives were kept in the town hall in the custody of the town clerk. Eighteenth-century antiquaries used them freely, but subsequently their condition deteriorated. Mid-nineteenth-century historians found them in chaotic order and affected by damp and rats. Spurred by members of this Society and of the Leicestershire Literary and Philosophical Society, the reformed corporation of Leicester authorized some conservation in the 1840s and the provision of a muniment room in the new town hall in 1878. Meanwhile, in the new Town Museum (opened in 1849), collections of documents relevant to the history of the county had been deposited by local antiquaries; and this Society pressed the Town Council to include a muniment room in a proposed extension to the Museum. It opened in 1930, with Leicester's first professional archivist. In 1932 some of the town's historic records were transferred there (the rest followed in 1951 and 1952). During World War II, under the scholarly and energetic direction of Eleanor Cottrill, it rescued from destruction a wide range of historical documents and acquired major collections such as the Leicester Archdeaconry Records and the Leicestershire Records of the Society of Friends.

description: The tercentenary of Fox's death prompts a review of his part, both nationally and locally, in the beginnings of Quakerism. After a brief introduction the first section illustrates some of the qualities that made Fox a powerful missionary and a dedicated leader. The second section examines some current tendencies in Quaker historiography, with particular reference to the importance of missionary activity, the part of Fox in the Quaker leadership, and the value of his early work in the Midlands. The last section turns to the beginnings of Quakerism in Leicestershire and employs hitherto-unexplored evidence to show that the movement was more developed there in the 1650s than is currently recognized and, further, that there is reason to believe Fox's early missionary activity in the county bore lasting fruit. The older view that Quakerism began in Leicestershire is not without foundation.

The model closely resembles scalar-tensor theory and by conformal transformation can be transformed to Einstein frame. To avoid the ambiguity of the frame dependence, we obtain an exact analytical solution in Jordan frame and show that the model leads to a period of accelerated expansion with an exit. Further, we compute the scalar and tensor power spectrum for the model and compare them with observations.

We show that datalogMTL is ExpSpace-complete even with punctual intervals, in which case full MTL is known to be undecidable. We also prove that nonrecursive datalogMTL is PSpace-complete for combined complexity and in AC0 for data complexity. We demonstrate by two real-world use cases that nonrecursive datalogMTL programs can express complex temporal concepts from typical user queries and thereby facilitate access to temporal log data. Our experiments with Siemens turbine data and MesoWest weather data show that datalogMTL ontology-mediated queries are efficient and scale on large datasets.

description: Detailed survey, and tree-ring dating, of the medieval manor house at Aylestone has established that this aisled timber hall was built before the middle of the 14th century. A solar cross wing was added in the late 15th or early 16th century and the open hall was floored over in the later 16th century. A major reconstruction of the medieval hall in the late 17th or early 18th century saw the walls rebuilt in stone and the roof structure replaced. The service end was rebuilt c.1768. A documented restoration in 1850 appears to have been largely a cosmetic exercise. Historical sources provide a context for some of these episodes of alteration and shed light on the recent history of Aylestone Hall.

description: We propose a gradient-based method for quadratic programming problems with a single linear constraint and bounds on the variables. Inspired by the GPCG algorithm for bound-constrained convex quadratic programming [J.J. Moré and G. Toraldo, SIAM J. Optim. 1, 1991], our approach alternates between two phases until convergence: an identification phase, which performs gradient projection iterations until either a candidate active set is identified or no reasonable progress is made, and an unconstrained minimization phase, which reduces the objective function in a suitable space defined by the identification phase, by applying either the conjugate gradient method or a recently proposed spectral gradient method. However, the algorithm differs from GPCG not only because it deals with a more general class of problems, but mainly for the way it stops the minimization phase. This is based on a comparison between a measure of optimality in the reduced space and a measure of bindingness of the variables that are on the bounds, defined by extending the concept of proportioning, which was proposed by some authors for box-constrained problems. If the objective function is bounded, the algorithm converges to a stationary point thanks to a suitable application of the gradient projection method in the identification phase. For strictly convex problems, the algorithm converges to the optimal solution in a finite number of steps even in case of degeneracy. Extensive numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

title: Applications of post-quantum cryptography - survey and application of machine learning
Creators: name: Osborne, Mack W.
Publisher: name: Colorado School of Mines Repository

description: Quantum Computing poses a considerable threat in the world of cyber security. Policy makers are largely unprepared for a post-quantum world, significantly due to a lack of understanding and awareness. The goal of this paper is to improve understanding and provide a new and effective way to analyze post-quantum cryptography, for researchers and security engineers alike. This is done by providing a background of quantum computing, a survey of the state of technologies and relevant policies, and a novel application of machine learning to perform analysis of quantum-ready encryption. The machine learning research will provide a Multinominal Naïve Bayes for discrete analysis of the RSA and CRYSTAL-Kyber encryptions.
Identifying feasible operating regimes for early T-cell recognition: The speed, energy, accuracy trade-off in kinetic proofreading and adaptive sorting

description: In the immune system, T cells can quickly discriminate between foreign and self ligands with high accuracy. There is evidence that T-cells achieve this remarkable performance utilizing a network architecture based on a generalization of kinetic proofreading (KPR). KPR-based mechanisms actively consume energy to increase the specificity beyond what is possible in equilibrium.An important theoretical question that arises is to understand the trade-offs and fundamental limits on accuracy, speed, and dissipation (energy consumption) in KPR and its generalization. Here, we revisit this question through numerical simulations where we simultaneously measure the speed, accuracy, and energy consumption of the KPR and adaptive sorting networks for different parameter choices. Our simulations highlight the existence of a 'feasible operating regime' in the speed-energy-accuracy plane where T-cells can quickly differentiate between foreign and self ligands at reasonable energy expenditure. We give general arguments for why we expect this feasible operating regime to be a generic property of all KPR-based biochemical networks and discuss implications for our understanding of the T cell receptor circuit.

Global in time Strichartz estimates for the fractional Schrödinger equations on asymptotically Euclidean manifolds

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In this paper, we prove global in time Strichartz estimates for the fractional Schrödinger operators, namely $e^{-itΛ_g^σ}$ with $σ\in (0,\infty)\backslash \{1\}$ and $Λ_g:=\sqrt{-Δ_g}$ where $Δ_g$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on asymptotically Euclidean manifolds $(\mathbb{R}^d,g)$. Let $f_0\in C^\infty_0(\mathbb{R})$ be a smooth cutoff equal 1 near zero. We firstly show that the high frequency part $(1-f_0)(P)e^{-itΛ_g^σ}$ satisfies global in time Strichartz estimates as on $\mathbb{R}^d$ of dimension $d\geq 2$ inside a compact set under non-trapping condition. On the other hand, under the moderate trapping assumption, the high frequency part also satisfies the global in time Strichartz estimates outside a compact set. We next prove that the low frequency part $f_0(P)e^{-itΛ_g^σ}$ satisfies global in time Strichartz estimates as on $\mathbb{R}^d$ of dimension $d\geq 3$ without using any geometric assumption on $g$. As a byproduct, we prove global in time Strichartz estimates for the fractional Schrödinger and wave equations on $(\mathbb{R}^d, g), d\geq 3$ under non-trapping condition.

Faction and Civil War in Leicestershire

description: With its garrisons, sieges and skirmishes, in terms of military action Leicestershire was in the thick of the Civil War during the 1640s. This was not, though, because of the residence of large numbers of committed protagonists, but largely resulted from the county's geographical position in the heart of England. In view of the attitudes of the Leicestershire gentry towards the war it is ironic that so much fighting took place in their county. Despite constant strife between themselves during the early seventeenth century, there is little sign of significant, widespread commitment towards King or parliament. By studying the men involved in county government during the period it should be possible to cast light on the part, if any, that pre-war rivalries played in the formation of the gentry's attitudes to the conflict
The Administration of the Honor of Leicester

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 20, 289-374
description: THIS short study is the outcome of an interest in the history of medieval Leicestershire, any history of which must be largely concerned with the earldom and honor of Leicester. Leicestershire's historians, from Burton onwards, have all described the careers of the respective earls of Leicester, a treatment rendered necessary by the fact that the earls were the lords of Leicester borough. They have also offered descriptions and descents of the Leicestershire vills within the honor, but since the country or borough and not the honor has been their subject, such questions as the full territorial extent and the administrative system of the honor have not been hitherto treated.
Compositeness of hadron resonances in finite volume

description: We develop a theoretical framework to quantify the structure of unstable hadron resonances. With the help of the corresponding system in a finite volume, we define the compositeness of resonance states which can be interpreted as a probability. This framework is used to study the structure of the scalar mesons f_0(980) and a_0(980). In both mesons, the Kbar K component dominates about a half of the wave function. The method is also applied to the Lambda(1405) resonance. We argue that a single energy level in finite volume represents the two eigenstates in infinite volume. The KbarK N component of Lambda(1405), including contributions from both eigenstates, is found to be 58%, and the rest is composed of the pi Sigma and other channels.

description: The manorial descent of Noseley is extremely simple. At the time of the Domesday Survey Hugh de Grentemaisnil held twelve carucates of land in Noveslei, which, with many other manors, had been granted to him by the Conqueror. The record states: " There is land for eight ploughs. In demesne there.are two ploughs and three serfs; and sixteen villeins with a priest and eight bordars have six ploughs. There are twenty acres of brushwood. It was worth thirty shillings ; now it is worth sixty shillings." A few years before this date, apparently in 1081, Hugh had given the church of Noseley with its tithes and two virgates of land to the Abbey of Saint-Evroult, in the diocese of Seez, which was closely connected with his family. From Hugh de Grentemaisnil the manor came to the earls of Leicester, and was held of them and their successors, the earls and dukes of Lancaster, as of the honour of Leicester. The descent of the chief lords of the, fee until the present day is therefore that of the said honour.

description: Despite the splendid chancel, this church as a whole, and on close examination, is somewhat disappointing. The fifteenth century and succeeding work shows a great falling off in quality of design, workmanship and interest, and looks somewhat thin and meagre. Both internally and externally the component parts group and "scale" badly.
