description: One of the major challenges in the coordination of large, open, collaborative, and commercial vehicle fleets is dynamic task allocation. Self-concerned individually rational vehicle drivers have both local and global objectives, which require coordination using some fair and efficient task allocation method. In this paper, we review the literature on scalable and dynamic task allocation focusing on deterministic and dynamic two-dimensional linear assignment problems. We focus on multiagent system representation of open vehicle fleets where dynamically appearing vehicles are represented by software agents that should be allocated to a set of dynamically appearing tasks. We give a comparison and critical analysis of recent research results focusing on centralized, distributed, and decentralized solution approaches. Moreover, we propose mathematical models for dynamic versions of the following assignment problems well known in combinatorial optimization: the assignment problem, bottleneck assignment problem, fair matching problem, dynamic minimum deviation assignment problem, $\sum_{k}$-assignment problem, the semiassignment problem, the assignment problem with side constraints, and the assignment problem while recognizing agent qualification; all while considering the main aspect of open vehicle fleets: random arrival of tasks and vehicles (agents) that may become available after assisting previous tasks or by participating in the fleet at times based on individual interest.

description: Spiral surface growth is well understood in the limit where the step motion is controlled by the local supersaturation of adatoms near the spiral ridge. In epitaxial thin-film growth, however, spirals can form in a step-flow regime where desorption of adatoms is negligible and the ridge dynamics is governed by the non-local diffusion field of adatoms on the whole surface. We investigate this limit numerically using a phase-field formulation of the Burton-Cabrera-Frank model, as well as analytically. Quantitative predictions, which differ strikingly from those of the local limit, are made for the selected step spacing as a function of the deposition flux, as well as for the dependence of the relaxation time to steady-state growth on the screw dislocation density.

A Unified Coded Deep Neural Network Training Strategy Based on Generalized PolyDot Codes for Matrix Multiplication

description: This paper has two contributions. First, we propose a novel coded matrix multiplication technique called Generalized PolyDot codes that advances on existing methods for coded matrix multiplication under storage and communication constraints. This technique uses "garbage alignment," i.e., aligning computations in coded computing that are not a part of the desired output. Generalized PolyDot codes bridge between Polynomial codes and MatDot codes, trading off between recovery threshold and communication costs. Second, we demonstrate that Generalized PolyDot can be used for training large Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) on unreliable nodes prone to soft-errors. This requires us to address three additional challenges: (i) prohibitively large overhead of coding the weight matrices in each layer of the DNN at each iteration; (ii) nonlinear operations during training, which are incompatible with linear coding; and (iii) not assuming presence of an error-free master node, requiring us to architect a fully decentralized implementation without any "single point of failure." We allow all primary DNN training steps, namely, matrix multiplication, nonlinear activation, Hadamard product, and update steps as well as the encoding/decoding to be error-prone. We consider the case of mini-batch size $B=1$, as well as $B>1$, leveraging coded matrix-vector products, and matrix-matrix products respectively. The problem of DNN training under soft-errors also motivates an interesting, probabilistic error model under which a real number $(P,Q)$ MDS code is shown to correct $P-Q-1$ errors with probability $1$ as compared to $\lfloor \frac{P-Q}{2} \rfloor$ for the more conventional, adversarial error model. We also demonstrate that our proposed strategy can provide unbounded gains in error tolerance over a competing replication strategy and a preliminary MDS-code-based strategy for both these error models.

Leggett-Garg tests of macro-realism for dynamical cat-states evolving in a nonlinear medium

description: We show violations of Leggett-Garg inequalities to be possible for single-mode cat-states evolving dynamically in the presence of a nonlinear quantum interaction arising from, for instance, a Kerr medium. In order to prove the results, we derive a generalised version of the Leggett-Garg inequality involving different cat-states at different times. The violations demonstrate failure of the premise of macro-realism as defined by Leggett and Garg, provided extra assumptions associated with experimental tests are valid. With the additional assumption of stationarity, violations of the Leggett-Garg inequality are predicted for the multi-component cat-states observed in the Bose-Einstein condensate and superconducting circuit experiments of Greiner et al. (Nature 419, 51, (2002)) and Kirchmair et al. (Nature, 495, 205 (2013)). The violations demonstrate a mesoscopic quantum coherence, by negating that the system can be in a classical mixture of mesoscopically distinct coherent states. Higher orders of nonlinearity are also studied and shown to give strong violation of Leggett-Garg inequalities.

description: We show that (near-)zero energy proton emission from H$_2^+$ in strong two-color and broadband laser fields is dominated by a stimulated Raman scattering process taking place on the electronic ground state. It is furthermore shown that in the (near-)zero energy region the asymmetry in proton ejection induced by asymmetric laser fields is due to the interplay of several processes, rather than only pathway interferences, with vibrational trapping (or bond-hardening) taking a key role.

description: Using the Panama Papers, we show that the beginning of media reporting on expropriations and property confiscations in a country increases the probability that offshore entities are incorporated by agents from the same country in the same month. This result is robust to the use of country-year fixed effects and the exclusion of tax havens. Further analysis shows that the effect is driven by countries with non-corrupt and effective governments, which supports the notion that offshore entities are incorporated when reasonably well-intended and well-functioning governments become more serious about fighting organized crime by confiscating proceeds of crime.

Composite Higgs and leptoquarks from a simple group

description: We propose a composite grand unified theory to study the anomalies in the semileptonic $B$ decays. We show a simple group containing the custodial and Standard Model gauge symmetries, that can deliver a set of composite pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons: the Higgs, a colorless SU(2)$_L$-fourplet and three leptoquarks: a triplet and two doublets. We give a description in terms of an effective theory of resonances. By assuming anarchic partial compositeness of the Standard Model fermions, we find representations for the composite fermions that allow to obtain the Higgs Yukawa couplings, as well as leptoquark interactions explaining the deviations in $R^{μe}_{K^{(*)}}$. We calculate the one-loop potential, we show that it can trigger electroweak symmetry breaking and we find a region of the parameter space that can reproduce the Standard Model spectrum. The model predicts leptoquark masses of order $0.4-1.3$ TeV, corrections to some electroweak observables, with $Zb_L\bar b_L$ saturating the current bounds, and a very reach phenomenology at LHC. We also study the possibility of explaining $R^{τ\ell}_{D^{(*)}}$.

Measuring Time-Dependence of Dark Energy Density from Type Ia Supernova Data

description: Observations of high redshift supernovae imply an accelerating Universe which can only be explained by an unusual energy component such as vacuum energy or quintessence. To assess the ability of current and future supernova data to constrain the properties of the dark energy, we allow its density to have arbitrary time-dependence, $ρ_X(z)$. This leads to an equation of state for the dark energy, $w_X(z)=p_X(z)/ρ_X(z)$, which is a free function of redshift $z$. We find that current type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) data are consistent with a cosmological constant, with large uncertainties at $z\ga 0.5$. We show that $ρ_X(z)/ρ_X(z=0)$ can be measured reasonably well to about $z=1.5$ using type Ia supernova data from realistic future SN Ia pencil beam surveys, provided that the weak energy condition (energy density of matter is nonnegative for any observer) is imposed. While it is only possible to differentiate between different models (say, quintessence and k-essence) at $z \la 1.5$ using realistic data, the correct trend in the time-dependence of the dark energy density can be clearly detected out to $z=2$, even in the presence of plausible systematic effects. This would allow us to determine whether the dark energy is a cosmological constant, or some exotic form of energy with a time-dependent density.

title: Pathways to tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment in Ghana: identifying the gaps and seeking solutions

description: Background: Ghana’s national tuberculosis (TB) prevalence survey in 2013 showed higher than expected prevalence, indicating people with TB are being missed. Aim: To identify barriers in the pathway to TB diagnosis and treatment initiation for people presenting to health facilities and make recommendations for improvement. Methods: In Volta region, Ghana, a cross-sectional study was conducted among symptomatic patients exiting the health facility to determine TB screening practices of healthcare workers (HCWs); a prospective cohort study among presumptive TB patients to determine if sputum was submitted; and in-depth interviews with HCWs and clinic observations to explore barriers to TB case finding. Results: In the cross-sectional study, 386/581 (66.4%) reported their TB-related symptoms to a HCW; 157/386 (40.6%) were eligible for a sputum test but only 31 (19.7%) were asked to submit a sputum. Prior TB treatment was the strongest predictor of being asked to submit a sputum (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 6.25, 95% CI: 2.24-17.46). In the prospective cohort study, among rural facility attendees, only 45/143 (31.5%) submitted a sputum for testing. Travel distance >10 km to the diagnostic laboratory was the strongest predictor of sputum not submitted (aOR 0.12, 95%CI 0.05-0.33). Barriers identified in the qualitative study were either health system- related such as no diagnostic laboratories in rural facilities and HCWs’ non-adherence to diagnostic guidelines; or HCW-related such as lack of training on guidelines, fear of infection leading to low motivation for TB work. Conclusions: There are gaps in the pre-diagnostic cascade in the steps before a sputum is submitted for a TB test. Factors causing these gaps are multifaceted and there is no single solution for these barriers. Collaborations between health facilities and the national TB control programme to implement patient-centred strategies for improved case finding are needed.

description: The evaluation of text simplification (TS) systems remains an open challenge. As the task has common points with machine translation (MT), TS is often evaluated using MT metrics such as BLEU. However, such metrics require high quality reference data, which is rarely available for TS. TS has the advantage over MT of being a monolingual task, which allows for direct comparisons to be made between the simplified text and its original version. In this paper, we compare multiple approaches to reference-less quality estimation of sentence-level text simplification systems, based on the dataset used for the QATS 2016 shared task. We distinguish three different dimensions: gram-maticality, meaning preservation and simplicity. We show that n-gram-based MT metrics such as BLEU and METEOR correlate the most with human judgment of grammaticality and meaning preservation, whereas simplicity is best evaluated by basic length-based metrics.

description: Previous X-ray studies of the Perseus Cluster, consisting of 85 Suzaku pointings along eight azimuthal directions, revealed a particularly steep decrease in the projected temperature profile near the virial radius (∼ r200) towards the northwest (NW).To further explore this shock candidate, another 4 Suzaku observations on the NW edge of the Perseus Cluster have been obtained. These deeper data were designed to provide the best possible control of systematic uncertainties in the spectral analysis. Using the combined Suzaku observations, we have carefully investigated this interesting region by analyzing the spectra of various annuli and extracting projected thermodynamic profiles. We find that the projected temperature profile shows a break near r200, indicating a shock with M = 1.9±0.3. Corresponding discontinuities are also found in the projected emission measure and the density profiles at the same location. This evidence of a shock front so far away from the cluster center is unprecedented, and may provide a first insight into the properties of large-scale virial shocks which shape the process of galaxy cluster growth.

Molecular dynamics of a dense fluid of polydisperse hard spheres

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Slow dynamics in a fluid are studied in one of the most basic systems possible: polydisperse hard spheres. Monodisperse hard spheres cannot be studied as the slow down in dynamics as the density is increased is preempted by crystallisation. As the dynamics slow they become more heterogeneous, the spread in the distances traveled by different particles in the same time increases. However, the dynamics appears to be less heterogeneous than in hard-sphere-like colloids at the same volume fraction. The particles which move least far in a characteristic relaxation time and, particularly, the particles which move farthest in the same time are clustered, not randomly distributed throughout the sample. We study the dynamics at three different widths of the distribution of diameters of the hard spheres. For each width, the relaxation time is the same function of the compressibility factor, suggesting that this determines the relaxation time for hard spheres.

description: Under a pressure of ~150 GPa solid molecular hydrogen undergoes a phase transition accompanied by a dramatic rise in infra-red absorption in the vibron frequency range. We use the Berry's phase approach to calculate the electric polarization in several candidate structures finding large, anisotropic dynamic charges and strongly IR-active vibron modes. The polarization is shown to be greatly affected by the overlap between the molecules in the crystal, so that the commonly used Clausius-Mossotti description in terms of polarizable, non-overlapping molecular charge densities is inadequate already at low pressures and even more so for the compressed solid.

In this report, we outline our initial considerations and the various stages of realisation as well as the input data on which the database was built, the aims of the data model and the difficulties we faced during the creation process. We then pin down the current status of the games database and give an outlook on the project's future plans.

description: The article discusses the theoretical foundations of an organization's competitiveness and ensuring its economic sustainability increases in the context of reforming the economic system. Developing the competitiveness of an organization is a complex process that analyzes the state of the environment in which the enterprise operates, the position of the company in business, the actions of the organization and the degree of risk in specific situations.

The main factor in increasing the competitiveness of an organization is the choice of strategy, which plays a huge role, because the degree of complexity and time interval for implementing actions to achieve the company’s goals depends on this. Since a competitive strategy determines a strict connection between the goals of the organization and strategically correct decisions, the company’s objectives and the results achieved.

description: We investigate the properties of composite fermions with four attached flux quanta through tilted field experiments near Landau level filling factor nu = 3/4. The observed collapse of fractional quantum Hall gaps in the vicinity of this quarter-filling state can be comprehensively understood in terms of composite fermions with mass and spin. Remarkably, the effective mass and g-factor of these four flux quanta composite fermions around nu = 3/4 are very similar to those of two flux quanta composite fermions around nu = 3/2.

description: Cloud computing is gaining significant attention, however, security is the biggest hurdle in its wide acceptance. Users of cloud services are under constant fear of data loss, security threats and availability issues. Recently, learning-based methods for security applications are gaining popularity in the literature with the advents in machine learning techniques. However, the major challenge in these methods is obtaining real-time and unbiased datasets. Many datasets are internal and cannot be shared due to privacy issues or may lack certain statistical characteristics. As a result of this, researchers prefer to generate datasets for training and testing purpose in the simulated or closed experimental environments which may lack comprehensiveness. Machine learning models trained with such a single dataset generally result in a semantic gap between results and their application. There is a dearth of research work which demonstrates the effectiveness of these models across multiple datasets obtained in different environments. We argue that it is necessary to test the robustness of the machine learning models, especially in diversified operating conditions, which are prevalent in cloud scenarios. In this work, we use the UNSW dataset to train the supervised machine learning models. We then test these models with ISOT dataset. We present our results and argue that more research in the field of machine learning is still required for its applicability to the cloud security.

description: Overpopulation and environmental degradation due to inadequate resource-use are outcomes of human's ecosystem engineering that has profoundly modified the world's landscape. Despite the age-old concern that unchecked population and economic growth may be unsustainable, the prospect of societal collapse remains contentious today. Contrasting with the usual approach to modeling human-nature interactions, which are based on the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with humans as the predators and nature as the prey, here we address this issue using a discrete-time population dynamics model of ecosystem engineers. The growth of the population of engineers is modeled by the Beverton-Holt equation with a density-dependent carrying capacity that is proportional to the number of usable habitats. These habitats (e.g., farms) are the products of the work of the individuals on the virgin habitats (e.g., native forests), hence the denomination engineers of ecosystems to those agents. The human-made habitats decay into degraded habitats, which eventually regenerate into virgin habitats. For slow regeneration resources, we find that the dynamics is dominated by cycles of prosperity and collapse, in which the population reaches vanishing small densities. However, increase of the efficiency of the engineers to explore the resources eliminates the dangerous cyclical patterns of feast and famine and leads to a stable equilibrium that balances population growth and resource availability. This finding supports the viewpoint of growth optimists that technological progress may avoid collapse.
Gross-Ooguri Phase Transition at Zero and Finite Temperature: Two Circular Wilson Loop Case

description: In the context of $AdS/CFT$ correspondence the two Wilson loop correlator is examined at both zero and finite temperatures. On the basis of an entirely analytical approach we have found for Nambu-Goto strings the functional relation $d S_c^{(Reg)} / dL = 2 πk$ between Euclidean action $S_c$ and loop separation $L$ with integration constant $k$, which corresponds to the analogous formula for point-particles. The physical implications of this relation are explored in particular for the Gross-Ooguri phase transition at finite temperature.

description: Organic semi-conductors have unique electronic properties and are important systems both at the fundamental level and also for their applications in electronic devices. In this article we focus on the particular case of rubrene which has one of the best electronic transport properties for application purposes. We show that this system can be well simulated by simple tight-binding systems representing one-dimensional (1D) chains that are weakly coupled to their neighboring chains in the same plane. This makes in principle this rubrene system somehow intermediate between 1D and isotropic 2D models. We analyse in detail the dc-transport and terahertz conductivity in the 1D and in the anisotropic 2D models. The transient localisation scenario allows us to reproduce satisfactorily some basics results such as mobility anisotropy and orders of magnitude as well as ac-conductivity in the terahertz range. This model shows in particular that even a weak inter-chain coupling is able to improve notably the propagation along the chains. This suggest also that a strong inter-chain coupling is important to get organic semi-conductors with the best possible transport properties for applicative purposes.
