description: Βασικός στόχος της μελέτης είναι να δοθεί απάντηση στο ερώτημα: ο νομοθέτης νομοθετεί με ελευθερία ή διακριτική ευχέρεια; Πρώτα, εξετάζονται οι συνέπειες θεώρησης του νομοθέτη ως δρώντος με διακριτικής ευχέρεια . Έπειτα, το βασικό επιχείρημα υπέρ της ελευθερίας του νομοθέτη θεμελιώνεται θετικά, στο πλαίσιο του δικαστικού ελέγχου της συνταγματικότητας των νόμων. Εξετάζονται τα διάφορα πρότυπα σχετικά με την εξουσία του νομοθέτη και την αντίστοιχη εξουσία του δικαστή της συνταγματικότητας και έπειτα ορίζεται η ελευθερία του νομοθέτη και τα αποτελέσματα αυτής για τον δικαστικό έλεγχο της συνταγματικότητας, θέτοντας ως βάση την αρχή της διάκρισης των εξουσιών. Τέλος, διευκρινίζονται τα εξεταζόμενα ζητήματα μέσα από δύο παραδείγματα της νομολογίας των εκλογικών διαφορών.
description: The basic goal of this work is to give an answer to the question: does the legislature act on the base of freedom or discretional power? First, we explore the consequences of regarding the legislature as having discretional power on acting. Then, the basic argument defending the freedom of legislature is founded positively, on the grounds of judicial review of legislature. Different forms of the power of legislature and the corresponding power of the constitutional judge are surveyed and then the freedom of the legislature is prescribed and its results on the judicial review, on the base of discretion of powers. Finally, the studied themes are clarified by two examples among the jurisprudence of the electoral court.

description: We consider a class of singular Riemannian manifolds, the deformed spheres $S^N_k$, defined as the classical spheres with a one parameter family $g[k]$ of singular Riemannian structures, that reduces for $k=1$ to the classical metric. After giving explicit formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the metric Laplacian $Δ_{S^N_k}$, we study the associated zeta functions $ζ(s,Δ_{S^N_k})$. We introduce a general method to deal with some classes of simple and double abstract zeta functions, generalizing the ones appearing in $ζ(s,Δ_{S^N_k})$. An application of this method allows to obtain the main zeta invariants for these zeta functions in all dimensions, and in particular $ζ(0,Δ_{S^N_k})$ and $ζ'(0,Δ_{S^N_k})$. We give explicit formulas for the zeta regularized determinant in the low dimensional cases, $N=2,3$, thus generalizing a result of Dowker \cite{Dow1}, and we compute the first coefficients in the expansion of these determinants in powers of the deformation parameter $k$.

description: The Freight Movement and Intermodal Access in Kentucky Study (SPR 98- 189) is being conducted by the Kentucky Transportation Center on behalf of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). There are two major objectives of the study: evaluation of the access for trucks between intermodal or other truck generating sites and the National Highway System (NHS); and furthering the understanding of freight commodity flows throughout the state. This report summarizes the access evaluation for a facility located in Hopkins County in the Pennyrile Area Development District (ADD) and KYTC Highway District #2. The location of the site is shown in Figure 1. Work on other sites as well as the freight commodity flow task is on-going and is documented elsewhere.  The sites to be evaluated were selected from two existing databases (a truck facility survey from 1994 and the intermodal facility inventory) based on ADD and KYTC Highway District planner recommendations, geographic location, distance to the national highway system, and the number of trucks accessing the site. Consideration was also made for the freight type handled and transportation modes used. The Centennial Resources facility was recommended by KYTC District 2. The facility is located along US 62 in Hopkins County between Dawson Springs and Nortonville.  The site was visited several times for data collection and video recording. The original survey of site layout and facility identification was done on January 15, 1998. Photographs and video were taken on that day. Additional data collection was conducted on July 8, September 28, and November 5, 1998. This is a coal facility with the entrance signs noting permits for Centennial Resources, Inc. and B. Four, Inc. of Madisonville. The surrounding area is rural.  A phone survey with the facility manager was conducted as part of the study. The trucks per day using the facility is seasonal, based on demand and could range from 10 to 100. The coal is mostly hauled to the TV A Drakesboro plant. A 1998 KYTC volume count indicates a traffic volume of about 2,300 with slightly over 300 trucks trucks per day along US 4 1. The percentage of heavy trucks was estimated as about 14 percent. The site trucks are generally semi tractor trailers with a maximum trailer length of 32 feet. The phone survey information can be found in Appendix A.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήθηκε η συχνότητα εμφάνισης ιών σε καλλιέργειες αμυγδαλιάς στην Ελλάδα και την Κύπρο. Για τον σκοπό αυτό σχεδιάστηκαν καθοδικοί εκκινητές, μετά από στοίχιση ομόλογων αλληλουχιών νουκλεοτιδίων απομονώσεων Ilar-ιών, για την ανίχνευση των PNRSV, PDV και ApMV που πολλαπλασιάζουν μέρος του γονιδίου της RdRp. Η ανίχνευση των υπολοίπων ιών βασίστηκε σε παλαιότερες γνωστές μεθόδους. Επίσης, μελετήθηκε η γενετική παραλλακτικότητα του γονιδίου της RdRp του PDV και της ΚΠ του ACLSV στην αμυγδαλιά. Χρησιμοποιήθηκε φυτικό υλικό από διάφορα γεωγραφικά διαμερίσματα της Ελλάδας και της Κύπρου.Τα αποτελέσματα ανέδειξαν την ευρεία διάδοση των PNRSV, PDV και ACLSV και είναι η πρώτη εκτενής έρευνα μετά την πρώτη αναφορά τους στην Ελλάδα και στην Κύπρο. Σε κανένα από τα δείγματα δεν ανιχνεύτηκε ο ApMV ή ιοί του γένους Nepovirus, ενώ η παρουσία του ApLV δεν επιβεβαιώθηκε, αν και υπήρχε η υποψία της ύπαρξής του σε ένα μικρό αριθμό δειγμάτων.Η στοίχιση των νουκλεοτιδικών αλληλουχιών 11 απομονώσεων του PDV από αμυγδαλιά και 2 απομονώσεων από κερασιά ανέδειξε τη μικρή παραλλακτικότητα του γονιδίου της RdRp που ανέρχεται στο 4%. Επίσης η φυλογενετική ανάλυση δε διαχώρισε τις απομονώσεις με βάση την ποικιλία ή/και την γεωγραφική τους προέλευση.Αντίθετα στην περίπτωση του ACLSV, η στοίχιση των νουκλεοτιδικών αλληλουχιών 18 απομονώσεων από αμυγδαλιά και 11 απομονώσεων από γιγαρτόκαρπα και άλλα πυρηνόκαρπα είδη, έδειξε τη μεγάλη παραλλακτικότητα του γονιδίου της ΚΠ που ανέρχεται στο 22%. Στη φυλογενετική ανάλυση γίνεται ένας ασαφής διαχωρισμός μεταξύ γιγαρτόκαρπων και πυρηνόκαρπων ειδών, αλλά και σε αυτή την περίπτωση δεν είναι ξεκάθαρος ο διαχωρισμός των απομονώσεων με βάση την ποικιλία ή/και τη γεωγραφική τους προέλευση.
description: This study presents the incidence of viruses in cultivated almond in Greece and Cyprus. For this reason a pair of primers was designed to be used for the detection of PNRSV, PDV and ApMV. The aim of this work, was also to study the variablity of the polymerase of PDV and of the capsid protein of ACLSV isolates in almond. The results of the present investigation indicate that pnrsv, pdv and aclsv infections of almonds are widespread throughout Greece and Cypurs, Apmv and viruses of the genera Nepovirus were not detected in any of the samples tested. The polymerase gene of PDV showed more than 86% identity with all the PDV isolates. On the other hand, Aclsv show high variability, differing by from 1 to 22 % among different isolates

description: In this paper, we undertake a systematic model and valuation theoretic study of the class of ordered fields which are dense in their real closure. We apply this study to determine definable henselian valuations on ordered fields, in the language of ordered rings. In light of our results, we re-examine the Shelah-Hasson Conjecture (specialised to ordered fields) and provide an example limiting its valuation theoretic conclusions.

description: We constrain the thermal evolution of the universe with a decaying cosmological term by using the method of the analysis for the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) observation data. The cosmological term is assumed to be a function of the scale factor that increases toward the early universe, and the radiation energy density is lower compared to that in the model with the standard cosmological "constant" (LCDM). The decrease in the radiation density affects the thermal history of the universe; e.g. the photon decoupling occurs at higher-z compared to the case of the standard LCDM model. As a consequence, a decaying cosmological term affects the cosmic microwave background anisotropy. Thanks to the Markov-chain Monte Carlo method, we compare the angular power spectrum in the decaying LCDM model with the CMB data, and we get severe constraints on parameters of the model.
Resonant symmetry lifting in a parametrically modulated oscillator

description: We study a parametrically modulated oscillator that has two stable states of vibrations at half the modulation frequency $ω_F$. Fluctuations of the oscillator lead to interstate switching. A comparatively weak additional field can strongly affect the switching rates, because it changes the switching activation energies. The change is linear in the field amplitude. When the additional field frequency $ω_d$ is $ω_F/2$, the field makes the populations of the vibrational states different thus lifting the states symmetry. If $ω_d$ differs from $ω_F/2$, the field modulates the state populations at the difference frequency, leading to fluctuation-mediated wave mixing. For an underdamped oscillator, the change of the activation energy displays characteristic resonant peaks as a function of frequency.

description: We develop a theory of a pseudogap state appearing near the superconductor-insulator transition in strongly disordered metals with attractive interaction. We show that such an interaction combined with the fractal nature of the single particle wave functions near the mobility edge leads to an anomalously large single particle gap in the superconducting state near SI transition that persists and even increases in the insulating state long after the superconductivity is destroyed. We give analytic expressions for the value of the pseudogap in terms of the inverse participation ratio of the corresponding localization problem.

Χρησιμοποιήθηκαν είκοσι οκτώ πρόσφατα εξαγχθέντα μονόρριζα δόντια της άνω γνάθου τα οποία χωρίστικαν σε δύο ομάδες των δέκα δοντιών, ενώ τα υπόλοιπα οκτώ δείγματα αποτέλεσαν την ομάδα ελέγχου. Οι οδοντινικές επιφάνειες εξετάστηκαν στο ηλεκτρονικό μικροσκόπιο σάρωσης σε μεγένθυνσεις ×1000 και ×6000 και ακολούθησε η λήψη μικροφωτογραφιών των αντιπροσωπευτικών περιοχών στις μεγενθύνσεις αυτές. Εκτιμήθηκε η καθαρότητα του τοιχώματος των ριζοσωλήνων ανά τριτημόριο και αποδόθηκαν βαθμολογίες σύμφωνα με το σύστημα αξιολόγησης των Rome και συν. (1985). Οι έλεγχοι Kruskal-Wallis και Mann-Whitney έδειξαν ότι ότι το Glyde και το RC-Prep δεν απομακρύνουν πλήρως το οδοντινικό επίχρισμα από την επιφάνεια της οδοντίνης. Η διαπίστωση αυτή ισχύει για το μυλικό, μέσο και ακρορριζικό τριτημόριο και τον δύο ομάδων, καθώς δεν εμφάνισαν στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά μεταξύ τους. Εξετάζοντας τα δείγματα της ομάδας του Glyde ξεχωριστά φάνηκε ότι το μυλικό και μέσο τριτημόριο έχουν καθαρότερες επιφάνειες από το αντίστοιχο ακρορριζικό. Αντίθετα στην ομάδα του RC-Prep τα τρία τριτημόρια δεν παρουσίασαν στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά μεταξύ τους ως προς την παραμονή του οδοντινικού επιχρίσματος.
description: The aim of this study was to examine the efficiency of paste-type EDTA products RC-Prep and Glyde to remove the smear layer when combined with ΝaOCl3%, during the preparation of root canals with the ProTager system. Twenty-eight single rooted, recently extracted maxillary teeth were used. Tey were separated into two groups whereas the remaining eight formed the control group. The dentine surfaces were examined under the SEM (x1000 and x6000) and the most representative areas were photographed. The cleanliness of the dentine wall was evaluated at the coronal, middle and apical third and was rated according to a three-scale scoring system (Rome et al. 1985). Statistical analysis showed that both Glyde and RC-Prep don't remove efficiently the smear layer from the dentine wall.

description: This is a study undertaken on behalf of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). There are two main objectives of the Freight Movement and Intermodal Access in Kentucky Study (SPR 98-189): 1) evaluation of the access for trucks between intermodal or other truck generating sites and the National Highway System (NHS); and 2) furthering the understanding of freight commodity flows throughout the state. This report summarizes the access evaluation for the areas around the Standiford Field Louisville Airport. This includes two large generators off of Fern Valley Road: Ford Motor Company and the United Parcel Service. These sites are located in Jefferson County in the KlPDA Area Development District (ADD) and KYTC Highway District #5. The location of the site and routes is shown in Figure 1. Smaller industries to the west of the airport field along Crittendon Avenue include Akzo Nobel Trucking, General Electric Supply, KT Shannon Lumber Company, Airside Commerce Center, United Catalyst Incorporated, and Rapid Runner Warehousing. Work on other specific sites throughout Kentucky as well as the freight commodity flow task is ongoing and documented elsewhere.  The sites to be evaluated in this study were selected from two existing databases (a truck facility survey from 1994 and the intermodal facility inventory) based on ADD and KYTC Highway District planner recommendations, geographic location, distance to the NHS, and the number of trucks accessing the site. Consideration was also made for the freight type handled and transportation modes used.  The site was visited for video recording on November 21, 1998, data collection on September 29, 1998 and intersection traffic counts on December 15, 1998. The facilities are located south of I-264 and west of I-65 in Louisville either on or adjacent to the airport facility. The surrounding area is generally urban and fairly commercial / industrial. A phone survey was conducted with a UPS facility manager early in the study process. The survey found that approximately 150 trucks per day normally access the site with as many as 400 in the peak of the year. The most common truck is a 28-foot drop van but trucks as large as 53-foot semi-trailers also access the site. No traffic congestion problems were raised. Attempts to contact other large truck generators in the area were unsuccessful. The phone survey is in Appendix A.

description: We carry out a detailed analysis of coherent resonant tunneling through two coupled quantum dots (CQD) in a parallel arrangement in the weak tunneling limit. We establish a set of quantum rate equations (QREs) in terms of the eigenstate-representation by means of a generic quantum Langevin equation approach, which is valid for arbitrary bias-voltage, temperature, and interdot hopping strength. Based on linear-response theory, we further derive the current and frequency-independent shot noise formulae. Our results reveal that a previously used formula for evaluating Schottky-type noise of a "classical" single-electron transistor is a direct result of linear-response theory, and it remains applicable for small quantum devices with internal coupling. Our numerical calculations show some interesting transport features (i) for a series-CQD: the appearance of a NDC due to the bias-voltage-induced shifting of bare levels or a finite interdot Coulomb repulsion, and (ii) for a parallel CQD in strong interdot Coulomb repulsion regime: finite-bias-induced AB oscillations of current, and magnetic-flux-controllable negative differential conductance and a huge Fano factor.

description: The identification of safe faults (i.e., faults which are guaranteed not to produce any failure) in an electronic system is a crucial step when analyzing its dependability and its test plan development. Unfortunately, safe fault identification is poorly supported by available EDA tools, and thus remains an open problem. The complexity growth of modern systems used in safety-critical applications further complicates their identification. In this article, we identify some classes of safe faults within an embedded system based on a pipelined processor. A new method for automating the safe fault identification is also proposed. The safe faults belonging to each class are identified resorting to Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) techniques. The proposed methodology is applied to a sample system built around the OpenRisc1200 open source processor.

description: We study electron transport through C60 molecules in the Kondo regime using a mechanically controllable break junction. By varying the electrode spacing, we are able to change both the width and height of the Kondo resonance, indicating modification of the Kondo temperature and the relative strength of coupling to the two electrodes. The linear conductance as a function of T/T_K agrees with the scaling function expected for the spin-1/2 Kondo problem. We are also able to tune finite-bias Kondo features which appear at the energy of the first C60 intracage vibrational mode.

description: A polygonal curve $P$ with $n$ vertices is $c$-packed, if the sum of the lengths of the parts of the edges of the curve that are inside any disk of radius $r$ is at most $cr$, for any $r>0$. Similarly, the concept of $c$-packedness can be defined for any scaling of a given shape. Assuming $L$ is the diameter of $P$ and $δ$ is the minimum distance between points on disjoint edges of $P$, we show the approximation factor of the existing $O(\frac{\log (L/δ)}εn^3)$ time algorithm is $1+ε$-approximation algorithm. The massively parallel versions of these algorithms run in $O(\log (L/δ))$ rounds. We improve the existing $O((\frac{n}{ε^3})^{\frac 4 3}\polylog \frac n ε)$ time $(6+ε)$-approximation algorithm by providing a $(4+ε)$-approximation $O(n(\log^2 n)(\log^2 \frac{1}ε)+\frac{n}ε)$ time algorithm, and the existing $O(n^2)$ time $2$-approximation algorithm improving the existing $O(n^2\log n)$ time $2$-approximation algorithm. Our exact $c$-packedness algorithm takes $O(n^5)$ time, which is the first exact algorithm for disks. We show using $α$-fat shapes instead of disks adds a factor $α^2$ to the approximation. We also give a data-structure for computing the curve-length inside query disks. It has $O(n^6\log n)$ construction time, uses $O(n^6)$ space, and has query time $O(\log n+k)$, where $k$ is the number of intersected segments with the query shape. We also give a massively parallel algorithm for relative $c$-packedness with $O(1)$ rounds.

Πολυζωίδης αμφισβητούσε την πολιτική ύπαρξη του Βυζαντίνου όχι όμως και την πολιτισμική του. Το πνεύμα του Βυζαντίου διασώθηκε από τους λόγιους φυγάδες στη Δύση.

description: The ruling conception of historiography in the 19th century attributed the restoration of the Byzantium as a historical as well as a cultural era, and its incorporation into greek history to Spyridon Zambelios and Constantinos Paparrigopoulos. That same period Anastasios Polyzoidis questioned the political existance of the byzantium, yet not its cultural existance. However, the spirit of the byzantium was perserred by the scholars who found shelter in the west. The same also happened to the conscience of the greek people with the help fo the eastern orthodox church. This period was strongly criticized by both european and greek scholars of the enlightenment
Internal tides in Dixon entrance
Creators: name: Carrasco, Ana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Semidiurnal (M2) internal tides are studied in and near Dixon Entrance. Two complementary approaches are presented: a data analysis and a numerical study. The data consist of current records as well as hydrographic profiles. The derived baroclinic velocities represent a considerable portion of the total signal. The baroclinic velocities change little in time and variations in the vertical suggest the presence of a vertical mode. A nonlinear, frictionless, two-layer, finite-difference numerical model forced by a barotropic tidal wave was applied over an idealized topography representing Dixon Entrance. Specifically, Dixon Entrance was modelled as a coastal east-west oriented, shallow channel connected to a deep flat open ocean through a very steep continental slope. Several numerical experiments are presented. The main result the model offers is a possible explanation, in terms of waves, of the generation of internal tides. The passage of long barotropic Kelvin waves travelling north on the the open ocean triggers a baroclinic diffraction process which gives rise to cylindrical Poincare waves travelling towards the deep ocean, westward, Kelvin waves propagating along the coast, northward, and Kelvin waves propagating inside the channel, eastward. This wave pattern was described by Buchwald (1971). The Kelvin wave pattern always seems to be present inside the channel; however, internal waves are very sensitive to variations in the topography, and waves of short wavelengths are also generated. It was possible from the numerical experiments to explain some of the features found in the data analysis. The velocity magnitudes and main generation regions were comparable. The results of the model were unable to explain the detail of the quasi-steady pattern of baroclinic currents.

description: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gapdh) performs a vital step in glycolysis. An in vitro fermentative system is being developed to convert glucose to ethanol. The system is not cofactor neutral, so will eventually stall through production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The Gapdh catalysed step can be modified by use of a non-phosphorylating variant (GapN) of the enzyme. GapN catalyses the Gapdh oxidation and the next step of the pathway without the production of ATP through incorporation of phosphate that normally occurs. This results in the pathway producing ethanol and carbon dioxide from glucose, with complete cofactor recycling. This also gives an overall thermodynamic advantage to the pathway. A GapN enzyme from the thermophile Thermoproteus tenax was examined for suitability to this role, and was modified to increase activity under mesophilic conditions through application of directed evolution techniques. Methods for evolving this enzyme were developed and are described. Two mutants from the evolution are characterised. Both possess a threefold enhanced activity at 30{u00B0}C and one and a half to tenfold improvement at 50{u00B0}C. One suggests a change in optimal active temperature, while the other has improved activity under all conditions tested. The first heat activation of GapN was observed in both the wild type and the mutants, with a sevenfold improvement in wild-type activity and a fourfold and modest improvement in the mutants. This phenomenon is not commonly reported outside of heat-response proteins. Alternative screening methods were investigated for the evolution. Primarily an E. coli strain lacking the gene gapA, that encodes Gapdh, was to be used for screening. There were significant difficulties knocking out gapA that are now believed to be caused by non-glycolytic roles of Gapdh in the cell. A second evolution was performed with a mutant of the E. coli Gapdh possessing a cysteine 149 to alanine mutation. This mutation causes a GapN like activity in Gapdh, though it is understood to occur by a different mechanism and to use a different isomer of the substrate for activity. Following two rounds of evolution an enzyme with a wild-type cysteine at position 149 was selected. This suggests potential problems with the C149A mutant as an evolution target. A third Gapdh variant from Zymomonas mobilis was investigated for possible use in the pathway, or as a possible target for evolution. This variant has not been previously characterised. The first kinetic characterisation and crystal structures are reported. The enzyme is kinetically interesting for its strong substrate binding of all substrates with Km at low micromolar ranges and a turnover of 16 s-1 that could be attributed to the environment of Z. mobilis. The best crystallographic data collected have given a structural solution to 3.6 A.

description: We analyze the 3-year WMAP data and look for a deviation from Gaussianity in the form of a 3-point function that has either of the two theoretically motivated shapes: local and equilateral. There is no evidence of departure from Gaussianity and the analysis gives the presently tightest bounds on the parameters f_ NL^local and f_NL^equil., which define the amplitude of respectively the local and the equilateral non-Gaussianity: -36 < f_NL^local < 100, -256 < f_NL^equil. < 332 at 95% C.L.

description: The observables in a single-channel $2$-body scattering problem remain invariant once the amplitude is multiplied by an overall energy- and angle-dependent phase. This invariance is known as the continuum ambiguity. Also, mostly in truncated partial wave analyses (TPWAs), discrete ambiguities originating from complex conjugation of roots are known to occur. In this note, it is shown that the general continuum ambiguity mixes partial waves and that for scalar particles, discrete ambiguities are just a subset of continuum ambiguities with a specific phase. A numerical method is outlined briefly, which can determine the relevant connecting phases.

description: This paper attempts to answer the question of whether an EU member state may invoke the public morality clause of Article 30 EC Treaty to ban the importation of GMOs in its territory. To answer this question the paper explores the basic conditions for implementing Article 30 EC Treaty. It then analyzes the public morality clause. Finally, by implementing the conclusions of the previous two sections, it attempts to predict how the ECJ will answer to a hypothetical invocation of the public morality clause in the case of GMOs.

description: In recent years, one important experimental achievement was the strong coupling of quantum matter and quantum light. Realizations reach from ultracold atomic gases in high-finesse optical resonators to electronic systems coupled to THz cavities. The dissipative nature of the quantum light field and the global coupling to the quantum matter leads to many exciting phenomena such as the occurrence of dissipative quantum phase transition to self-organized exotic phases. The theoretical treatment of these dissipative hybrid systems of matter coupled to a cavity field is very challenging. Previously, often mean-field approaches were applied which characterize the emergence of self-organized phases as a zero-temperature transition for the particles, a ground-state Dicke transition. Here we develop a new approach which combines a mean-field approach with a perturbative treatment of fluctuations beyond mean-field, which becomes exact in the thermodynamic limit. We argue that these fluctuations are crucial in order to determine the mixed state (finite temperature) character of the transition and to unravel universal properties of the self-organized states. We validate our results by comparing to time-dependent matrix-product-state calculations.

description: Vectorization and GPUs will profoundly change graph processing. Traditional graph algorithms tuned for 32- or 64-bit based memory accesses will be inefficient on architectures with 512-bit wide (or larger) instruction units that are already present in the Intel Knights Landing (KNL) manycore CPU. Anticipating this shift, we propose SlimSell: a vectorizable graph representation to accelerate Breadth-First Search (BFS) based on sparse-matrix dense-vector (SpMV) products. SlimSell extends and combines the state-of-the-art SIMD-friendly Sell-C-sigma matrix storage format with tropical, real, boolean, and sel-max semiring operations. The resulting design reduces the necessary storage (by up to 50%) and thus pressure on the memory subsystem. We augment SlimSell with the SlimWork and SlimChunk schemes that reduce the amount of work and improve load balance, further accelerating BFS. We evaluate all the schemes on Intel Haswell multicore CPUs, the state-of-the-art Intel Xeon Phi KNL manycore CPUs, and NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. Our experiments indicate which semiring offers highest speedups for BFS and illustrate that SlimSell accelerates a tuned Graph500 BFS code by up to 33%. This work shows that vectorization can secure high-performance in BFS based on SpMV products; the proposed principles and designs can be extended to other graph algorithms.

description: In this paper, we present a structure for two-channel spline graph filter bank with spectral sampling (SGFBSS) on arbitrary undirected graphs. Our proposed structure has many desirable properties; namely, perfect reconstruction, critical sampling in spectral domain, flexibility in choice of shape and cut-off frequency of the filters, and low complexity implementation of the synthesis section, thanks to our closed-form derivation of the synthesis filter and its sparse structure. These properties play a pivotal role in multi-scale transforms of graph signals. Additionally, this framework can use both normalized and non-normalized Laplacian of any undirected graph. We evaluate the performance of our proposed SGFBSS structure in nonlinear approximation and denoising applications through simulations. We also compare our method with the existing graph filter bank structures and show its superior performance.

description: Binary properties are an important diagnostic of the star and brown dwarf formation processes. While wide binaries appear to be rare in the sub-stellar regime, recent observations have revealed Ophiuchus 162225-240515 (2MASS J16222521-2405139) as a likely young ultra-low-mass binary with an apparent separation of ~240 AU. Here, we present low-resolution near-infrared spectra of the pair from NTT/SOFI (R~600) and VLT/ISAAC (R~1400), covering the 1.0-2.5um spectral region. By comparing to model atmospheres from Chabrier & Baraffe and Burrows et al., we confirm the surface temperatures to be T_A = (2350+/-150) K and T_B = (2100+/-100) K for the two components of the binary, consistent with earlier estimates from optical spectra. Using gravity sensitive K I features, we find the surface gravity to be significantly lower than field dwarfs of the same spectral type, providing the best evidence so far that these objects are indeed young. However, we find that models are not sufficiently reliable to infer accurate ages/masses from surface gravity. Instead, we derive masses of M_A = 13 (+8/-4) M_J and M_B = 10 (+5/-4) M_J for the two objects using the well-constrained temperatures and assuming an age of 1-10 Myr, consistent with the full range of ages reported for the Oph region.

description: We present the analysis of XMM-Newton European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) observations of the nova shell IPHASX J210204.7$+$471015. We detect X-ray emission from the progenitor binary star with properties that resemble those of underluminous intermediate polars such as DQ Her: an X-ray-emitting plasma with temperature of $T_\mathrm{X}=(6.4\pm3.1)\times10^{6}$ K, a non-thermal X-ray component, and an estimated X-ray luminosity of $L_\mathrm{X}=10^{30}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Time series analyses unveil the presence of two periods, the dominant with a period of $2.9\pm0.2$ hr, which might be attributed to the spin of the white dwarf, and a secondary of $4.5\pm0.6$ hr that is in line with the orbital period of the binary system derived from optical observations. We do not detect extended X-ray emission as in other nova shells probably due to its relatively old age (130-170 yr) or to its asymmetric disrupted morphology which is suggestive of explosion scenarios different to the symmetric ones assumed in available numerical simulations of nova explosions.
