description: This paper proposes to deploy multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) in device-to-device (D2D)-underlaid cellular systems. The uplink sum-rate of the system is maximized by jointly optimizing the transmit powers of the users, the pairing of the cellular users (CUs) and D2D links, the receive beamforming of the base station (BS), and the configuration of the RISs, subject to the power limits and quality-of-service (QoS) of the users. To address the non-convexity of this problem, we develop a new block coordinate descent (BCD) framework which decouples the D2D-CU pairing, power allocation and receive beamforming, from the configuration of the RISs. Specifically, we derive closed-form expressions for the power allocation and receive beamforming under any D2D-CU pairing, which facilitates interpreting the D2D-CU pairing as a bipartite graph matching solved using the Hungarian algorithm. We transform the configuration of the RISs into a quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP) with multiple quadratic constraints. A low-complexity algorithm, named Riemannian manifold-based alternating direction method of multipliers (RM-ADMM), is developed to decompose the QCQP into simpler QCQPs with a single constraint each, and solve them efficiently in a decentralized manner. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the sum-rate of the D2D-underlaid system with a reduced complexity, as compared to its alternative based on semidefinite relaxation (SDR).

description: Each year, numerous segmentation and classification algorithms are invented or reused to solve problems where machine vision is needed. Generally, the efficiency of these algorithms is compared against the results given by one or many human experts. However, in many situations, the location of the real boundaries of the objects as well as their classes are not known with certainty by the human experts. Furthermore, only one aspect of the segmentation and classification problem is generally evaluated. In this paper we present a new evaluation method for classification and segmentation of image, where we take into account both the classification and segmentation results as well as the level of certainty given by the experts. As a concrete example of our method, we evaluate an automatic seabed characterization algorithm based on sonar images.
Probing two Universal Extra Dimension model with leptons and photons at the LHC and ILC

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss the collider signatures of electroweak (1,0)-mode excitations in the framework of two universal extra dimension (2UED) at the LHC and ILC. In general, pair production of electroweak (1,0)-mode particles of 2UED gives rise to multi lepton plus missing transverse momentum signal. Upto 1/R = 400 GeV two lepton plus missing transverse momentum signal and upto 1/R = 600 GeV three lepton plus missing transverse momentum signal stands over the $5σ$ standard deviation of the Standard Model background at the LHC with $100 fb^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. At ILC we study single photon plus missing energy signal from the production of U(1) gauge boson in association with a U(1) spinless adjoint. With proper choice of beam polarization, signal strength is greater than $5σ$ standard deviation of the Standard Model background almost upto the kinematic limit of the collider.

description: Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) promise a range of societal advantages, including broader access to mobility, reduced road accidents, and enhanced transportation efficiency. However, evaluating the risks linked to AVs is complex due to limited historical data and the swift progression of technology. This paper presents a data-driven framework for assessing the risk of different AVs' behaviors in various operational design domains (ODDs), based on counterfactual simulations of "misbehaving" road users. We propose the notion of counterfactual safety margin, which represents the minimum deviation from nominal behavior that could cause a collision. This methodology not only pinpoints the most critical scenarios but also quantifies the (relative) risk's frequency and severity concerning AVs. Importantly, we show that our approach is applicable even when the AV's behavioral policy remains undisclosed, through worst- and best-case analyses, benefiting external entities like regulators and risk evaluators. Our experimental outcomes demonstrate the correlation between the safety margin, the quality of the driving policy, and the ODD, shedding light on the relative risks of different AV providers. Overall, this work contributes to the safety assessment of AVs and addresses legislative and insurance concerns surrounding this burgeoning technology.

description: In this chapter, we present and discuss a new generalized proportional conflict redistribution rule. The Dezert-Smarandache extension of the Demster-Shafer theory has relaunched the studies on the combination rules especially for the management of the conflict. Many combination rules have been proposed in the last few years. We study here different combination rules and compare them in terms of decision on didactic example and on generated data. Indeed, in real applications, we need a reliable decision and it is the final results that matter. This chapter shows that a fine proportional conflict redistribution rule must be preferred for the combination in the belief function theory.

description: In image classification, merging the opinion of several human experts is very important for different tasks such as the evaluation or the training. Indeed, the ground truth is rarely known before the scene imaging. We propose here different models in order to fuse the informations given by two or more experts. The considered unit for the classification, a small tile of the image, can contain one or more kind of the considered classes given by the experts. A second problem that we have to take into account, is the amount of certainty of the expert has for each pixel of the tile. In order to solve these problems we define five models in the context of the Dempster-Shafer Theory and in the context of the Dezert-Smarandache Theory and we study the possible decisions with these models.
The offense definition as a screenplay of evil: The rise and fall of visual criminal law
Creators: name: Papa, Michele
Publisher: name: Católica Law Review
Year: 2020

description: The essay discusses the notion of Criminal law “as literature”. It assumes that the “offense definition” (Tipo, Fattispecie, Tatbestand) is a narrative text; one that portrays narratives capable of producing imaginative thinking through storytelling. For centuries, reading crime definitions meant being able to picture what evildoing/wrongdoing looked like. Building on the knowledge and terminology of figurative arts, the author analyzes how images and words translate concepts such as evil or wrongfulness into visible shapes, through a process of “rendering”. However, in contemporary societies, legal drafting based on “icons of evil” is under serious stress. Given the increasing de-materialization of reality and social relations, as well as the growing technical complexity of regulatory legislation, it has become necessary to draft offense definitions following new semiotic criteria and establishing a new “poetics” (aesthetic theory) for the Criminal law. After considering the new range of possibilities offered by digital signs (as bar codes) and artificial intelligence, the analysis concludes that it is possible to describe evildoing/wrongdoing using the creative resources of metaphors and imagination.

description: The CRESST cryogenic direct dark matter search at Gran Sasso, searching for WIMPs via nuclear recoil, has been upgraded to CRESST-II by several changes and improvements.We present the results of a commissioning run carried out in 2007. The basic element of CRESST-II is a detector module consisting of a large (~ 300 g) CaWO_4 crystal and a very sensitive smaller (~ 2 g) light detector to detect the scintillation light from the CaWO_4.Information from light-quenching factor studies allows the definition of a region of the energy-light yield plane which corresponds to tungsten recoils. A neutron test is reported which supports the principle of using the light yield to identify the recoiling nucleus. Data obtained with two detector modules for a total exposure of 48 kg-days are presented. Judging by the rate of events in the "all nuclear recoils" acceptance region the apparatus shows a factor ~ten improvement with respect to previous results, which we attribute principally to the presence of the neutron shield. In the "tungsten recoils" acceptance region three events are found, corresponding to a rate of 0.063 per kg-day. Standard assumptions on the dark matter flux, coherent or spin independent interactions,then yield a limit for WIMP-nucleon scattering of 4.8 \times 10^{-7}pb, at M{WIMP} ~50 GeV.

description: High resolution crop type maps are an important tool for improving food security, and remote sensing is increasingly used to create such maps in regions that possess ground truth labels for model training. However, these labels are absent in many regions, and models trained in other regions on typical satellite features, such as those from optical sensors, often exhibit low performance when transferred. Here we explore the use of NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) spaceborne lidar instrument, combined with Sentinel-2 optical data, for crop type mapping. Using data from three major cropped regions (in China, France, and the United States) we first demonstrate that GEDI energy profiles are capable of reliably distinguishing maize, a crop typically above 2m in height, from crops like rice and soybean that are shorter. We further show that these GEDI profiles provide much more invariant features across geographies compared to spectral and phenological features detected by passive optical sensors. GEDI is able to distinguish maize from other crops within each region with accuracies higher than 84%, and able to transfer across regions with accuracies higher than 82% compared to 64% for transfer of optical features. Finally, we show that GEDI profiles can be used to generate training labels for models based on optical imagery from Sentinel-2, thereby enabling the creation of 10m wall-to-wall maps of tall versus short crops in label-scarce regions. As maize is the second most widely grown crop in the world and often the only tall crop grown within a landscape, we conclude that GEDI offers great promise for improving global crop type maps.

description: We present first evidence for the so-called Head-Tail asymmetry signature of neutron-induced nuclear recoil tracks at energies down to 1.5 keV/amu using the 1m^3 DRIFT-IIc dark matter detector. This regime is appropriate for recoils induced by Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMPs) but one where the differential ionization is poorly understood. We show that the distribution of recoil energies and directions induced here by Cf-252 neutrons matches well that expected from massive WIMPs. The results open a powerful new means of searching for a galactic signature from WIMPs.

description: These last years, there were many studies on the problem of the conflict coming from information combination, especially in evidence theory. We can summarise the solutions for manage the conflict into three different approaches: first, we can try to suppress or reduce the conflict before the combination step, secondly, we can manage the conflict in order to give no influence of the conflict in the combination step, and then take into account the conflict in the decision step, thirdly, we can take into account the conflict in the combination step. The first approach is certainly the better, but not always feasible. It is difficult to say which approach is the best between the second and the third. However, the most important is the produced results in applications. We propose here a new combination rule that distributes the conflict proportionally on the element given this conflict. We compare these different combination rules on real data in Sonar imagery and Radar target classification.

description: Algorithmic audits have been embraced as tools to investigate the functioning and consequences of sociotechnical systems. Though the term is used somewhat loosely in the algorithmic context and encompasses a variety of methods, it maintains a close connection to audit studies in the social sciences--which have, for decades, used experimental methods to measure the prevalence of discrimination across domains like housing and employment. In the social sciences, audit studies originated in a strong tradition of social justice and participatory action, often involving collaboration between researchers and communities; but scholars have argued that, over time, social science audits have become somewhat distanced from these original goals and priorities. We draw from this history in order to highlight difficult tensions that have shaped the development of social science audits, and to assess their implications in the context of algorithmic auditing. In doing so, we put forth considerations to assist in the development of robust and engaged assessments of sociotechnical systems that draw from auditing's roots in racial equity and social justice.

Criminality by foreign nationals in poland and the state’s legal response
Creators: name: Perkowska, Magdalena
Publisher: name: Católica Law Review
Year: 2020

description: The aim of the article is to determine the scale and structure of, and changes in crime in Poland based on the statistics of the Police and the Border Guard. Although the foreign population in Poland is small in comparison with other European Union countries, the crime by foreigners is a phenomenon which, according to statistical data and media reports, is growing. Therefore, the aim of the article is to verify the scale of the phenomenon and the potential threat it entails. The discussion of the crime phenomenon is supplemented by an analysis of legal solutions adopted in Poland in recent years to prevent crime by foreigners. They are mainly the result of the implementation of the European Union and Council of Europe law. The author makes an attempt to verify whether the adopted legal solutions are reasonable and proportionate to the scale of the threat.

Forfeiting legal protections to prevent crime?
Creators: name: Blount, Kelly
Publisher: name: Católica Law Review
Year: 2020

description: In many ways, policing is a noteworthy feature of the field of criminal law. Its diverse mandate includes ensuring public order, and preventing and investigating crime. Though these roles have been traditionally managed as distinct functions, as prevention subsumes the others they are becoming more closely aligned in practice. This contribution will assess the role that AI has played in strengthening the mandate for crime prevention. It will argue that AI has been a critical tool in advancing crime prevention, but its use has outpaced legal processes and individuals may face violations of their legal interests in a legal framework ill-equipped for countering robust crime prevention measures. The article will ultimately advocate the expanding and strengthening of the legal protections afforded to criminal suspects in preventative investigations, while also addressing the way in which AI alters the enforcement of legal standards.

The role of meiofauna in the benthic community of a small oligotrophic lake
Creators: name: Hoebel, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Meiofaunal distribution and abundance were studied in Marion Lake, a small, shallow (8m maximum) oligotrophic lake in southwestern British Columbia. Experimental techniques were used to investigate the influence of food and predation on meiofaunal populations, and to estimate relative carbon -flow to all components (micro-, meio-, and macrofauna) of the zoobenthic community. In two years' sampling of over 50 species of meiofaunal rotifers, nematodes, copepods, cladocerans and halacarine mites, only a few species were abundant. Three depth zones were sampled (1.0, 2.5, 4.5m) and maximum densities occurred at 2.5m. Population densities of all groups were stable over the sampling period, fluctuating less than one order of magnitude annually. In culture studies, representative meiofaunal species had longer generation times and lower reproductive rates than expected. Attempts to use laboratory results to predict field population dynamics were generally unsuccessful, but led to clarification of reproductive parameter estimates. Experiments in the laboratory and in the field suggested that meiofaunal species are not food-limited. Predation on meiofauna is not heavy but might be significant for those species whose reproduction is suppressed by adverse temperatures. Radiotracer experiments indicated that carbon flow to the zoobenthic community from sediment microflora was partitioned approximately 12% to microfauna (ciliates), 12% to meiofauna, and 76% to macrofauna, while the contributions to zoobenthic biomass were 1%, 7% and 92% respectively. In related experiments, a common harpacticoid copepod species had a high assimilation efficiency but rapidly respired and excreted recently ingested carbon. Meiofaunal organisms are apparently not an important food source for higher trophic levels in Marion Lake but may play a significant role in stimulating microfloral production by their grazing activity.

description: For 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) interactive virtual acoustic environments (VAEs), the spatial rendering of diffuse late reverberation in addition to early (specular) reflections is important. In the interest of computational efficiency, the acoustic simulation of the late reverberation can be simplified by using a limited number of spatially distributed virtual reverb sources (VRS) each radiating incoherent signals. A sufficient number of VRS is needed to approximate spatially anisotropic late reverberation, e.g., in a room with inhomogeneous distribution of absorption at the boundaries. Here, a highly efficient and perceptually plausible method to generate and spatially render late reverberation is suggested, extending the room acoustics simulator RAZR [Wendt et al., J. Audio Eng. Soc., 62, 11 (2014)]. The room dimensions and frequency-dependent absorption coefficients at the wall boundaries are used to determine the parameters of a physically-based feedback delay network (FDN) to generate the incoherent VRS signals. The VRS are spatially distributed around the listener with weighting factors representing the spatially subsampled distribution of absorption coefficients on the wall boundaries. The minimum number of VRS required to be perceptually distinguishable from the maximum (reference) number of 96 VRS was assessed in a listening test conducted with a spherical loudspeaker array within an anechoic room. For the resulting low numbers of VRS suited for spatial rendering, optimal physically-based parameter choices for the FDN are discussed.

description: Gravitationally bound companions to stars enable determinations of their masses, and offer clues to their formation, evolution and dynamical histories. So motivated, we have carried out a speckle imaging survey of eight of the nearest and brightest Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars to directly measure the frequency of their resolvable companions, and to search for much fainter companions than hitherto possible. We found one new, close companion to each of WR 113, WR 115 and WR 120 in the separation range 0.2" - 1.2". Our results provide more evidence that similar-brightness, close companions to WR stars are common. More remarkably, they also demonstrate that the predicted, but much fainter and thus elusive companions to WR stars are now within reach of modern speckle cameras on 8m class telescopes by finding the first example. The new companion to WR 113 is just 1.16" distant from it, and is 8 magnitudes fainter than the WR star. The empirical probability of a chance line-of-sight of the faint companion at the position of WR 113 is < 0.5%, though we cannot yet prove or disprove if the two stars are gravitationally bound. If these three new detections are physical companions we suggest, based on their narrowband magnitudes, colors, reddenings and GAIA distances that the companions to WR113, WR 115 and WR 120 are an F-type dwarf, an early B-type dwarf, and a WNE-type WR star, respectively.

description: A deep learning-based monocular depth estimation (MDE) technique is proposed for selection of most informative frames (key frames) of an endoscopic video. In most of the cases, ground truth depth maps of polyps are not readily available and that is why the transfer learning approach is adopted in our method. An endoscopic modalities generally capture thousands of frames. In this scenario, it is quite important to discard low-quality and clinically irrelevant frames of an endoscopic video while the most informative frames should be retained for clinical diagnosis. In this view, a key-frame selection strategy is proposed by utilizing the depth information of polyps. In our method, image moment, edge magnitude, and key-points are considered for adaptively selecting the key frames. One important application of our proposed method could be the 3D reconstruction of polyps with the help of extracted key frames. Also, polyps are localized with the help of extracted depth maps.

Daline: A Data-driven Power Flow Linearization Toolbox for Power Systems Research and Education
Creators: name: Jia, Mengshuo
name: Chan, Wen Yi
name: Hug, Gabriela
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2024

description: Power flow linearization has long been a fundamental tool in both academia and industry. While physics-driven power flow linearization (P-PFL) methods are relatively accessible, data-driven power flow linearization (D-PFL) approaches are significantly less so. As a promising field, D-PFL has demonstrated its potential to enhance linearization accuracy and address scenarios where traditional P-PFL methods are limited, particularly when physical parameters are unavailable. Despite their significance, over 95% of existing D-PFL algorithms lack publicly available codes, thereby limiting the utilization and comparison of the latest advancements in power flow linearization. To establish D-PFL methods into easily accessible fundamental tools, we developed Daline, a MATLAB-based, open-source toolbox that includes 57 linearization methods (42 D-PFL methods reproduced from existing literature, 11 D-PFL methods not reported before, and four widely used P-PFL methods), offering extensive flexibility in method selection and customization. Beyond linearization, Daline offers comprehensive functionality, ranging from data generation and processing, to model training, testing, and visualizable evaluation of accuracy or computational efficiency. These modules are grounded on Daline's comprehensive yet user-friendly architecture: with over 300 options, Daline caters to diverse needs with minimal coding, making complex tasks achievable with just one or two lines of code.
Scalar Fields Near Compact Objects: Resummation versus UV Completion

description: Low-energy effective field theories containing a light scalar field are used extensively in cosmology, but often there is a tension between embedding such theories in a healthy UV completion and achieving a phenomenologically viable screening mechanism in the IR. Here, we identify the range of interaction couplings which allow for a smooth resummation of classical non-linearities (necessary for kinetic/Vainshtein-type screening), and compare this with the range allowed by unitarity, causality and locality in the underlying UV theory. The latter region is identified using positivity bounds on the $2\to2$ scattering amplitude, and in particular by considering scattering about a non-trivial background for the scalar we are able to place constraints on interactions at all orders in the field (beyond quartic order). We identify two classes of theories can both exhibit screening and satisfy existing positivity bounds, namely scalar-tensor theories of $P(X)$ or quartic Horndeski type in which the leading interaction contains an odd power of $X$. Finally, for the quartic DBI Galileon (equivalent to a disformally coupled scalar in the Einstein frame), the analogous resummation can be performed near two-body systems and imposing positivity constraints introduces a non-perturbative ambiguity in the screened scalar profile. These results will guide future searches for UV complete models which exhibit screening of fifth forces in the IR.

description: We present a calculation for $η$ production in the $p-^6Li$ fusion near threshold including the $η-^7Be$ final state interaction (FSI). We consider the $^6Li$ and $^7Be$ nuclei as $α-d$ and $α-^3He$ clusters respectively. The calculations are done for the lowest states of $^7Be$ with $J = ({3\over2}^-, {1\over2}^-)$ resulting from the $L = $1 radial wave function. The $η-^7Be$ interaction is incorporated through the $η-^7Be$ $T-$matrix, constructed from the medium modified matrices for the $η-^3He$ and $η-α$ systems. These medium modified matrices are obtained by solving few body equations, where the scattering in nuclear medium is taken into account.
