description: The increasing amount of data to be processed on edge devices, such as cameras, has motivated Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration at the edge. Typical image processing methods performed at the edge, such as feature extraction or edge detection, use convolutional filters that are energy, computation, and memory hungry algorithms. But edge devices and cameras have scarce computational resources, bandwidth, and power and are limited due to privacy constraints to send data over to the cloud. Thus, there is a need to process image data at the edge. Over the years, this need has incited a lot of interest in implementing neuromorphic computing at the edge. Neuromorphic systems aim to emulate the biological neural functions to achieve energy-efficient computing. Recently, Oscillatory Neural Networks (ONN) present a novel brain-inspired computing approach by emulating brain oscillations to perform autoassociative memory types of applications. To speed up image edge detection and reduce its power consumption, we perform an in-depth investigation with ONNs. We propose a novel image processing method by using ONNs as a hetero-associative memory (HAM) for image edge detection. We simulate our ONN-HAM solution using first, a Matlab emulator, and then a fully digital ONN design. We show results on gray scale square evaluation maps, also on black and white and gray scale 28x28 MNIST images and finally on black and white 512x512 standard test images. We compare our solution with standard edge detection filters such as Sobel and Canny. Finally, using the fully digital design simulation results, we report on timing and resource characteristics, and evaluate its feasibility for real-time image processing applications. Our digital ONN-HAM solution can process images with up to 120x120 pixels (166 MHz system frequency) respecting real-time camera constraints. This work is the first to explore ONNs as hetero-associative memory for image processing applications.

description: We present a study of the galaxy population in the cluster RXJ0848+4453 at z=1.27, using deep HST NICMOS and WFPC2 images. We morphologically classify all galaxies to K_s=20.6 that are covered by the HST imaging, and determine photometric redshifts using deep ground based BRIzJK_s photometry. Of 22 likely cluster members with morphological classifications, eleven (50%) are classified as early-type galaxies, nine (41%) as spiral galaxies, and two (9%) as ``merger/peculiar''. At HST resolution the second brightest cluster galaxy is resolved into a spectacular merger between three red galaxies of similar luminosity, separated from each other by ~6 kpc, with an integrated magnitude K=17.6 (~3 L* at z=1.27). The two most luminous early-type galaxies also show evidence for recent or ongoing interactions. Mergers and interactions between galaxies are possible because RXJ0848+4453 is not yet relaxed. The fraction of early-type galaxies in our sample is similar to that in clusters at 0.5

description: In this paper, the minimization of computational cost on evaluating multi-dimensional integrals is explored. More specifically, a method based on an adaptive scheme for error variance selection in Monte Carlo integration (MCI) is presented. It uses a stochastic Efficient Global Optimization (sEGO) framework to guide the optimization search. The MCI is employed to approximate the integrals, because it provides the variance of the error in the integration. In the proposed approach, the variance of the integration error is included into a Stochastic Kriging framework by setting a target variance in the MCI. We show that the variance of the error of the MCI may be controlled by the designer and that its value strongly influences the computational cost and the exploration ability of the optimization process. Hence, we propose an adaptive scheme for automatic selection of the target variance during the sEGO search. The robustness and efficiency of the proposed adaptive approach were evaluated on global optimization stochastic benchmark functions as well as on a tuned mass damper design problem. The results showed that the proposed adaptive approach consistently outperformed the constant approach and a multi-start optimization method. Moreover, the use of MCI enabled the method application in problems with high number of stochastic dimensions. On the other hand, the main limitation of the method is inherited from sEGO coupled with the Kriging metamodel: the efficiency of the approach is reduced when the number of design variables increases.

Negative intensity patches in angular variations of CMB as a probe of the period of reionization

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The observational tests for the period of reionization of the universe are discussed. We show that this period can be observed as {\it negative} intensity patches of the CMB radiation with the amplitude $δT/T\sim 10^{-5}$ and the angular sizes $θ_T\sim$10 angular seconds in range of the wavelength 0.1 cm$\leqλ\leq$1 cm. The expected number density and frequency dependence of the amplitude permit to recognize this effect and to discriminate it from the noise. This method applied to the small scale variations of CMB temperature complements well the traditional spectral approach. The number density and the amplitude of observed 'negative' intensity patches depend upon the redshift of reionization that allow to estimate roughly this redshift. The ionized bubbles formed just before the period of reionization could also be seen as the highest peaks. The expected results are sensitive to the Jeans scale at the period of reionization, to the small scale shape of the primordial power spectrum and to the mass of dark matter particles.

description: We report Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) , Very Large Telescope (VLT) and Spitzer Space Telescope observations of ESO 184$-$G82, the host galaxy of GRB 980425/SN 1998bw, that yield evidence of a companion dwarf galaxy at a projected distance of 13 kpc. The companion, hereafter GALJ193510-524947, is a gas-rich, star-forming galaxy with a star formation rate of $\rm0.004\,M_{\odot}\, yr^{-1}$, a gas mass of $10^{7.1\pm0.1} M_{\odot}$, and a stellar mass of $10^{7.0\pm0.3} M_{\odot}$. The interaction between ESO 184$-$G82 and GALJ193510-524947 is evident from the extended gaseous structure between the two galaxies in the GMRT HI 21 cm map. We find a ring of high column density HI gas, passing through the actively star forming regions of ESO 184$-$G82 and the GRB location. This ring lends support to the picture in which ESO 184$-$G82 is interacting with GALJ193510-524947. The massive stars in GALJ193510-524947 have similar ages to those in star-forming regions in ESO 184$-$G82, also suggesting that the interaction may have triggered star formation in both galaxies. The gas and star formation properties of ESO 184$-$G82 favour a head-on collision with GALJ193510-524947 rather than a classical tidal interaction. We perform state-of-the art simulations of dwarf--dwarf mergers and confirm that the observed properties of ESO 184$-$G82 can be reproduced by collision with a small companion galaxy. This is a very clear case of interaction in a gamma ray burst host galaxy, and of interaction-driven star formation giving rise to a gamma ray burst in a dense environment.

The effect of mixing on metallicity gradients in the ICM
Creators: name: Bruggen, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is generally argued that most clusters of galaxies host cooling flows in which radiative cooling in the centre causes a slow inflow. However, recent observations by Chandra and XMM conflict with the predicted cooling flow rates. It has been suggested that radio jets that are situated at the centre of clusters of galaxies can assist in reducing the deposition of cold gas. Radio jets inflate cavities of hot radio plasma that rise through the cluster atmosphere and thus stir the intra-cluster medium. In this letter it is investigated whether this scenario is consistent with the pronounced metallicity gradients that have been observed in the cores of clusters.

description: We present a systematic search for parallax microlensing events among a total of 512 microlensing candidates in the OGLE II database for the 1997-1999 seasons. We fit each microlensing candidate with both the standard microlensing model and also a parallax model that accounts for the Earth's motion around the Sun. We then search for the parallax signature by comparing the chi^2 of the standard and parallax models. For the events which show a significant improvement, we further use the `duration' of the event and the signal-to-noise ratio as criteria to separate true parallax events from other noisy microlensing events. We have discovered one convincing new candidate, sc33_4505, and seven other marginal cases. The convincing candidate (sc33_4505) is caused by a slow-moving, and likely low-mass, object, similar to other known parallax events. We found that irregular sampling and gaps between observing seasons hamper the recovery of parallax events. We have also searched for long-duration events that do not show parallax signatures. The lack of parallax effects in a microlensing event puts a lower-limit on the Einstein radius projected onto the observer plane, which in turn imposes a lower limit on the lens mass divided by the relative lens-source parallax. Most of the constraints are however quite weak.

description: We have modeled irradiated planets located near a dM5 and a G2 primary star. The impinging radiation field was explicitly included in the solution of the radiative transfer equation and in the computation of the atmospheric structure. We find that large errors in both the thermal and reflected flux will result from models which do not include the impinging radiation in a self-consistent manner. A cool (teff = 500K) and a hot (teff = 1000K) planet were modeled at various orbital separations from both the dM5 and the G2 primary. In all scenarios, we compared the effects of the irradiation in two extreme cases: one where dust clouds form and remain suspended in the atmosphere, and another where dust clouds form but completely settle out of the atmosphere. The atmospheric structure and emergent spectrum strongly depend on the presence or absence of dust clouds. We find that, in the absence of dust opacity, the impinging radiation significantly alters the innermost layers of an EGP atmosphere and that they are actually brighter in the optical than dusty planets. Our models also indicate that the planet-to-star brightness ratio in the optical will be less that 1 x 10^-5 for objects like tau bootis which is consistent with recently reported upper limit values.

description: We consider an unexplored aspect of the mass equivalence principle in the quantum realm, its connection with atomic stability. We show that if the gravitational mass were different from the inertial one, a Hydrogen atom placed in a constant gravitational field would become unstable in the long term. In contrast, independently of the relation between the two masses, the atom does not become ionized in an uniformly accelerated frame. This work, in the line of previous analyses studying the properties of quantum systems in gravitational fields, contributes to the extension of that programme to internal variables.

description: INTRODUCTION: Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill children. In critically ill adults, there are data that suggest the use of Selective Decontamination of the Digestive tract (SDD), alongside standard infection control measures reduce mortality and the incidence of HCAIs. SDD-enhanced infection control has not been compared directly with standard infection prevention strategies in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) population. The aim of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of conducting a multicentre cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) in critically ill children comparing SDD with standard infection control. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Paediatric Intensive Care and Infection Control is a parallel group pilot cRCT, with integrated mixed-methods study, comparing incorporation of SDD into infection control procedures to standard care. After a 1-week pretrial ecology surveillance period, recruitment to the cRCT will run for a period of 18 weeks, comprising: (1) baseline control period (2) pre, mid and post-trial ecology surveillance periods and (3) intervention period. Six PICUs (in England, UK) will begin with usual care in period 1, then will be randomised 1:1 by the trial statistician using computer-based randomisation, to either continue to deliver usual care or commence delivery of the intervention (SDD) in period 2. Outcomes measures include parent and healthcare professionals' views on trial feasibility, adherence to the SDD intervention, estimation of recruitment rate and understanding of potential patient-centred primary and secondary outcome measures for the definitive trial. The planned recruitment for the cRCT is 324 participants. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The trial received favourable ethical opinion from West Midlands-Black Country Research Ethics Committee (reference: 20/WM/0061) and approval from the Health Research Authority (IRAS number: 239324). Informed consent is not required for SDD intervention or anonymised data collection but is sought for investigations as part of the study, any identifiable data collected and monitoring of medical records. Results will be disseminated via publications in peer-reviewed medical journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN40310490.

description: Passing through the Galactic disk, a massive object such as a globular cluster, can trigger star formation process leading to the birth of open clusters. Here, we analyze such possible evolutionary relationship between globular and open clusters. To search for the closest rapprochement between objects we computed backwards the orbits of 150 Galactic globular and 232 open clusters (younger than 100 Myr) with proper motions, derived from the Gaia DR2 Catalog. The orbits were computed using the recently modified three-component (disk, bulge and halo) axisymmetric Navarro-Frenk-White potential, which was complemented by non-axisymmetric bar and spiral density wave potentials. We obtained a new estimate for the frequency of impacts of globular clusters about the Galactic disk, which is equal to 4 events for 1 million years. In the framework of the considered scenario, we highlight the following nine pairs of globular and open clusters, with rapprochement within 1 kpc at the time of the intersection the Galactic disk by a globular cluster for the latest 100 Myr: NGC 104 - Turner 3, NGC 104 - NGC 6396, NGC 104 - Ruprecht 127, NGC 5139 - Trumpler 17, NGC 5139 - NGC 6520, NGC 6341 - NGC 6613, NGC 6838 - NGC 6520, NGC 7078 - NGC 7063, NGC 6760 - Ruprecht 127.

description: This paper investigates the gravitational trapping of HII regions predicted by steady-state analysis using radiation hydrodynamical simulations. We present idealised spherically symmetric radiation hydrodynamical simulations of the early evolution of HII regions including the gravity of the central source. As with analytic steady state solutions of spherically symmetric ionised Bondi accretion flows, we find gravitationally trapped HII regions with accretion through the ionisation front onto the source. We found that, for a constant ionising luminosity, fluctuations in the ionisation front are unstable. This instability only occurs in this spherically symmetric accretion geometry. In the context of massive star formation, the ionising luminosity increases with time as the source accretes mass. The maximum radius of the recurring HII region increases on the accretion timescale until it reaches the sonic radius, where the infall velocity equals the sound speed of the ionised gas, after which it enters a pressure-driven expansion phase. This expansion prevents accretion of gas through the ionisation front, the accretion rate onto the star decreases to zero, and it stops growing from accretion. Because of the time required for any significant change in stellar mass and luminosity through accretion our simulations keep both mass and luminosity constant and follow the evolution from trapped to expanding in a piecewise manner. Implications of this evolution of HII regions include a continuation of accretion of material onto forming stars for a period after the star starts to emit ionising radiation, and an extension of the lifetime of ultracompact HII regions.

description: In the present work, we study correlations between stellar fundamental parameters and the oscillation amplitude for delta Scuti stars. We present this study for a sample of 17 selected delta Scuti stars belonging to 5 young open clusters. Taking advantage of properties of delta Scuti stars in clusters, we correct the photometric parameters of our objects for the effect of fast rotation. We confirm the benefit of applying such corrections in this kind of studies. In addition, the technique used for this correction allows us to obtain an estimation of stellar parameters like the angle of inclination and the rotation rate, usually not accessible. A significant correlation between the parameter i' (estimation of the angle of inclination of the star) and the oscillation amplitude is found. A discussion and interpretation of these a priori surprising results is proposed, in terms of a possible selection rule for oscillation modes of delta Scuti stars.

description: Person re-identification becomes a more and more important task due to its wide applications. In practice, person re-identification still remains challenging due to the variation of person pose, different lighting, occlusion, misalignment, background clutter, etc. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale body-part mask guided attention network (MMGA), which jointly learns whole-body and part body attention to help extract global and local features simultaneously. In MMGA, body-part masks are used to guide the training of corresponding attention. Experiments show that our proposed method can reduce the negative influence of variation of person pose, misalignment and background clutter. Our method achieves rank-1/mAP of 95.0%/87.2% on the Market1501 dataset, 89.5%/78.1% on the DukeMTMC-reID dataset, outperforming current state-of-the-art methods.

Evolution of Active Galaxies: Black-hole Mass - Bulge relations for Narrow Line Objects

Year: 2001

description: Mathur (2000) has proposed that the narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are likely to be the active galaxies in early stage of evolution. To test this hypothesis, we have calculated the black hole (BH) masses and the host galaxy bulge masses for a sample of NLS1s. We find that the mean BH to bulge mass ratio of NLS1s is significantly smaller than that for normal Seyfert galaxies. We also find that the ratio of BH mass to bulge velocity dispersion is also significantly smaller for NLS1s. A scenario of BH growth is our preferred interpretation, though alternative explanations are discussed. Assuming that the BHs grow with accretion with a radiative efficiency of 0.1, it will take them about $3.3\times 10^8$ years to become as massive as in normal Seyfert 1s. These timescales are consistent with the theoretical estimates of quasar timescale $t_Q$ less than about $4.5\times 10^8$ years calculated by Haehnelt, Natarajan & Rees (1998). Studies of low redshift NLS1s thus provide a powerful, and due to their proximity relatively easy, way to understand the high redshift quasars and their evolution.

description: Kaisquilla n. gen.
 TYPE SPECIES. — Kaisquilla laevis n. gen., n. sp. by monotypy.
 ETYMOLOGY. — Named after the type locality, Kai Islands, in combination with the generic name Squilla. Gender feminine.
DIAGNOSIS. — Eye with bilobed cornea, distinctly broader than and set slightly obliquely on stalk. Ocular scales separate. A1 somite dorsal processes with short slender apices, directed anterolaterally. Carapace with anterolateral spine; with faintly indicated LT and reflected MG carinae indicated posteriorly only. Mandibular palp present. MXP1-2 each with epipod. TS5-7 lateral processes single. TS5 without ventral spine. AS 1-5 without MD and SM carinae. Telson broader than long, with three pairs of primary teeth (SM, IM, LT); SM teeth with movable apices; prelateral lobe absent; dorsolateral surface rugose, with short, low, mid-dorsal carina; ventral surface without postanal carina; ventrolateral carina extending posteriorly to base of LT denticle. Uropod protopod with smooth inner margin.
REMARKS
 Kaisquilla n. gen. superficially resembles Levisquilla Manning, 1977, and Rissoides Manning & Lewinsohn, 1982, in the rounded lateral process of TS6-7 and reduced dorsal carinae. In other respects, however, such as general habitus, the bilobed cornea, rostral plate shape, absence of a pair of ventral spines on TS5, the blunt hook process on the endopod of PLP1, telson and uropod structure, Kaisquilla n. gen. most closely resembles Anchisquilloides Manning, 1977 and Anchisquillopsis Moosa, 1986. A cladistic analysis of the squilloid genera (unpublished data) shows that Kaisquilla n. gen. is most closely related to Anchisquilloides and Anchisquillopsis. Unlike most other squilloids that have a single lateral process on TS5, Kaisquilla n. gen., Anchisquilloides and Anchisquillopsis share a blunt instead of acute hook process on the endopod of the first male pleopod.

A possible contribution to CMB anisotropies at high l from primordial voids

description: We present preliminary results of an analysis into the effects of primordial voids on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We show that an inflationary bubble model of void formation predicts excess power in the CMB angular power spectrum that peaks between 2000 < l < 3000. Therefore, voids that exist on or close to the last scattering surface at the epoch of decoupling can contribute significantly to the apparent rise in power on these scales recently detected by the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI).

Broadband X-ray Spectral and Timing Analyses of the Black Hole Binary Candidate Swift J1658.2-4242: Rapid Flux Variation and the Turn-on of a Transient QPO

description: We report results from joint NuSTAR, Swift and XMM-Newton observations of the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary candidate Swift J1658.2-4242 in the intermediate state. We observe a peculiar event in this source, with its X-ray flux rapidly decreasing by $\sim$45\% in $\sim$40~s, accompanied by only subtle changes in the shape of the broadband X-ray spectrum. In addition, we find a sudden turn-on of a transient QPO with a frequency of $6-7$~Hz around the time of the flux change, and the total fractional rms amplitude of the power spectrum increases from $\sim$2\% to $\sim$10\%. X-ray spectral and timing analyses indicate that the flux decrease is driven by intrinsic changes in the accretion flow around the black hole, rather than intervening material along the line of sight. In addition, we do not significantly detect any relativistic disk reflection component, indicating it is much weaker than previously observed while the source was in the bright hard state. We propose accretion disk instabilities triggered at a large disk radius as the origin of the fast transition in spectral and timing properties, and discuss possible causes of the unusual properties observed in Swift J1658.2-4242. The prompt flux variation detected along with the emergence of a QPO makes the event an interesting case for investigating QPO mechanisms in black hole X-ray binaries.

description: The observations of the pulsar-wind nebula (PWN) around the Vela pulsar with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory, taken on 2000 April 30 and November 30, reveal its complex morphology reminiscent of that of the Crab PWN. Comparison of the two observations shows changes up to 30% in the surface brightness of the PWN features. Some of the PWN elements show appreciable shifts, up to a few arcseconds (about 10^{16} cm), and/or spectral changes. To elucidate the nature of the observed variations, further monitoring of the Vela PWN is needed.

description: Point-source contamination in high-precision Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps severely affects the precision of cosmological parameter estimates. Among the methods that have been proposed for source detection, wavelet techniques based on ``optimal'' filters have been proposed.In this paper we show that these filters are in fact only restrictive cases of a more general class of matched filters that optimize signal-to-noise ratio and that have, in general, better source detection capabilities, especially for lower amplitude sources. These conclusions are confirmed by some numerical experiments. \keywords{Methods: data analysis -- Methods: statistical
