description: Fine localization in autonomous driving platforms is a task of broad interest, receiving much attention in recent years. Some localization algorithms use the Euclidean distance as a similarity measure between the local image acquired by a camera and a global map, which acts as side information. The global map is typically expressed in terms of the coordinate system of the road plane. Yet, a road image captured by a camera is subject to distortion in that nearby features on the road have much larger footprints on the focal plane of the camera compared with those of equally-sized features that lie farther ahead of the vehicle. Using commodity computational tools, it is straightforward to execute a transformation and, thereby, bring the distorted image into the frame of reference of the global map. However, this nonlinear transformation results in unequal noise amplification. The noise profile induced by this transformation should be accounted for when trying to match an acquired image to a global map, with more reliable regions being given more weight in the process. This physical reality presents an algorithmic opportunity to improve existing localization algorithms, especially in harsh conditions. This article reviews the physics of road feature acquisition through a camera, and it proposes an improved matching method rooted in statistical analysis. Findings are supported by numerical simulations.

Occlusion-Aware Depth Estimation with Adaptive Normal Constraints

description: We present a new learning-based method for multi-frame depth estimation from a color video, which is a fundamental problem in scene understanding, robot navigation or handheld 3D reconstruction. While recent learning-based methods estimate depth at high accuracy, 3D point clouds exported from their depth maps often fail to preserve important geometric feature (e.g., corners, edges, planes) of man-made scenes. Widely-used pixel-wise depth errors do not specifically penalize inconsistency on these features. These inaccuracies are particularly severe when subsequent depth reconstructions are accumulated in an attempt to scan a full environment with man-made objects with this kind of features. Our depth estimation algorithm therefore introduces a Combined Normal Map (CNM) constraint, which is designed to better preserve high-curvature features and global planar regions. In order to further improve the depth estimation accuracy, we introduce a new occlusion-aware strategy that aggregates initial depth predictions from multiple adjacent views into one final depth map and one occlusion probability map for the current reference view. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of depth estimation accuracy, and preserves essential geometric features of man-made indoor scenes much better than other algorithms.

description: Since its first description fifty years ago, the Metropolis Monte Carlo method has been used in a variety of different ways for the simulation of continuum quantum many-body systems. This paper will consider some of the generalizations of the Metropolis algorithm employed in quantum Monte Carlo: Variational Monte Carlo, dynamical methods for projector monte carlo ({\it i.e.} diffusion Monte Carlo with rejection), multilevel sampling in path integral Monte Carlo, the sampling of permutations, cluster methods for lattice models, the penalty method for coupled electron-ionic systems and the Bayesian analysis of imaginary time correlation functions.

We predict a large molecular $Λ_c \bar K$ component for the $Ξ_c(2790)$ with a dominant $0^-$ light-degree-of-freedom spin configuration. We discuss the differences between the $3/2^-$ $Λ_c(2625)$ and $Ξ_c(2815)$ states, and conclude that they cannot be SU(3) siblings, whereas we predict the existence of other $Ξ_c-$states, two of them related to the two-pole structure of the $Λ_c(2595)$. It is of particular interest a pair of $J=1/2$ and $J=3/2$ poles, which form a HQSS doublet and that we tentatively assign to the $Ξ_c(2930)$ and $Ξ_c(2970)$, respectively. Within this picture, the $Ξ_c(2930)$ would be part of a SU(3) sextet, containing either the $Ω_c(3090)$ or the $Ω_c(3119)$, and that would be completed by the $Σ_c(2800)$. Moreover, we identify a $J=1/2$ sextet with the $Ξ_b(6227)$ state and the recently discovered $Σ_b(6097)$. Assuming the equal spacing rule and to complete this multiplet, we predict the existence of a $J=1/2$ $Ω_b$ odd parity state, with a mass of 6360 MeV and that should be seen in the $Ξ_b \bar K$ channel.

In such systems the transition probabilities in different directions have different probability density functions. The frequency-dependent conductivity at low temperatures is obtained using an effective medium approximation.

description: The relative fit of two nested models can be evaluated using a chi-square difference statistic. We evaluate the performance of five robust chi-square difference statistics in the context of confirmatory factor analysis with non-normal continuous outcomes. The mean and variance corrected difference statistics performed adequately across all conditions investigated. In contrast, the mean corrected difference statistics required larger samples for the p-values to be accurate. Sample size requirements for the mean corrected difference statistics increase as the degrees of freedom for difference testing increase. We recommend that the mean and variance corrected difference testing be used whenever possible. When performing mean corrected difference testing, we recommend that the expected information matrix is used (i.e., choice MLM), as the use of the observed information matrix (i.e., choice MLR) requires larger samples for p-values to be accurate. Supplementary materials for applied researchers to implement difference testing in their own research are provided.
Vortex formation in a slowly rotating Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic-plus-gaussian laser trap

description: Motivated by the recent experiment at ENS [ V. Bretin, S. Stock, Y. Seurin and, J. Dalibard, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 050403 (2004)], we study a rotating (non-)interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic-plus-gaussian laser trap potential. By adjusting the amplitude of the laser potential, one can make quadratic-plus-quartic potential,purely quartic potential, and quartic-minus-quadratic potential. We show that an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic-plus-gaussian laser trap breaks the rotational symmetry of the Hamiltonian when rotational frequency is greater than one-half of the lowest energy surface mode frequency. We also show that by increasing the amplitude of the gaussian laser trap, a vortex appears in a slowly rotating Bose-Einstein condensate. Moreover, one can also create a vortex in non-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate confined in harmonic-plus-gaussian laser potential.

description: Motivated by recent developments in the experimental study of Bose-Fermi mixtures, we investigate ground-state phase diagrams and excitation spectra for Bose-Fermi mixtures in a three-dimensional (3D) optical lattice. The Gutzwiller approximation is used to identify a new phase in which both superfluid bosons and metal fermions coexist. As a useful probe to identify the quantum phases, we also calculate the excitation spectra. In Mott insulator phase, two excitation features appear in the spectra that correspond to particle and hole excitations. In superfluid phase, there are Bogoliubov modes and amplitude modes. In coexisting phase, two gapless dispersive modes are identified, which shift due to interaction between bosons and fermions.

description: Literature reflects a growing concern that females may be "slipping through the net" because current understanding of the autistic phenotype and diagnostic approaches are derived primarily from research on males. The present study sought to develop a psychometrically sound revision of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), to improve its sensitivity in identifying adult females with high levels of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) traits. In phase one of the study, 30 experienced ASD practitioners rated how relevant they thought 20 newly developed screening items were to ASD in females. Fifteen of these items were then added into the existing AQ, comprising the AQ-Revised. Alongside measures assessing convergent and divergent validity and levels of distress and impairment, 1007 non-ASD (55% female) and 45 ASD (51% female) participants completed the AQ-Revised. The AQ-Revised and the AQ were found to be psychometrically sound and both fit a 2-factor structure, based on factor analyses. No significant gender differences were apparent in non-ASD participants on the total AQ-Revised, however in the ASD group females scored significantly higher on the total AQ-Revised and AQ scores compared to males. The AQ-Revised was found to discriminate well between ASD and non-ASD cases and, with a cut off score of 29, captured 130 more females high on ASD traits than the existing AQ. These women scoring above 29 on the measure were found to have significantly higher levels of distress and functional impairment than those scoring below 29, but reported levels of distress and impairment were equivalent to women scoring above the recommended AQ cut off (32). The utility of the revised instrument for females and the concept of gender-specific ASD screening are discussed.
An efficient surrogate-aided importance sampling framework for reliability analysis

description: Surrogates in lieu of expensive-to-evaluate performance functions can accelerate the reliability analysis greatly. This paper proposes a new two-stage framework for surrogate-aided reliability analysis named Surrogates for Importance Sampling (S4IS). In the first stage, a coarse surrogate is built to gain the information about failure regions; the second stage zooms into the important regions and improves the accuracy of the failure probability estimator by adaptively selecting support points therein. The learning functions are proposed to guide the selection of support points such that the exploration and exploitation can be dynamically balanced. As a generic framework, S4IS has the potential to incorporate different types of surrogates (Gaussian Processes, Support Vector Machines, Neural Network, etc.). The effectiveness and efficiency of S4IS is validated by five illustrative examples, which involve system reliability, highly nonlinear limit-state function, small failure probability and moderately high dimensionality. The implementation of S4IS is made available to download at https://github.com/RobinSeaside/S4IS.

 Remarks. As evidenced by Pardo Alcaide (1958, as Gorrizia) and Bologna (1978, as Coryna), this species of the Mesoscutatus - type lineage, belongs to the Palaeotropical group of H. pallipes (Olivier, 1811), which is characterized by the hind external spur of metatibia enlarged, similarly to the mylabrine genus Croscherichia, to which was referred by Kaszab (1983). Within this group, H. nigriplantis seems to be related to two Indian species.

description: Mediation analysis is a methodology used to understand how and why an independent variable (X) transmits its effect to an outcome (Y) through a mediator (M). New causal mediation methods based on the potential outcomes framework and counterfactual framework are a seminal advancement for mediation analysis, because they focus on the causal basis of mediation analysis. There are several programs available to estimate causal mediation effects, but these programs differ substantially in data set up, estimation, output, and software platform. To compare these programs, an empirical example is presented, and a single mediator model with treatment-mediator interaction was estimated with a continuous mediator and a continuous outcome in each program. Even though the software packages employ different estimation methods, they do provide similar causal effect estimates for mediation models with a continuous mediator and outcome. A detailed explanation of program similarities, unique features, and recommendations is discussed.

description: Half integer Josephson vortices in 0-$π$-junctions, discussed theoretically and observed experimentally, spontaneously appear at the point where the Josephson phase is $π$-discontinuous. The creation of \emph{arbitrary} discontinuities of the Josephson phase has been demonstrated recently. Here we study fractional vortices formed at an arbitrary $κ$-discontinuity, discuss their stability and possible ground states. The two stable states are not mirror symmetric. Furthermore, the possible ground states formed at two $κ$-discontinuities separated by a distance $a$ are investigated, and the energy and the regions of stability of each ground state are calculated. We also show that the ground states may strongly depend on the distance $a$ between the discontinuities. There is a crossover distance $a_c$ such that for $aa_c$ the ground states may be qualitatively different.

description: It is commonly believed that ($α$-d) and (${^3}He$ - ${^3}H$) represent equivalent states of ${^6}Li$. It is shown here that this is not correct. These two are actually orthogonal to each other. It is shown here that these two with very different shapes and forms actually co-exist for the ground state of ${^6}Li$. This shape co-existence is the same as similar phenomenon in heavy nuclei. The puzzling anomaly of extremely small branching ratio for beta delayed deuteron emission in ${^6}He$ is explained here. In addition the anomalously large branching ratio for beta delayed triton emission in ${^8}He$ is explained. The cluster structure of the ground state and of the low-lying states of ${^6}He$, ${^6}Li$ and ${^6}Be$ is clarified.

description: Visual intelligence at the edge is becoming a growing necessity for low latency applications and situations where real-time decision is vital. Object detection, the first step in visual data analytics, has enjoyed significant improvements in terms of state-of-the-art accuracy due to the emergence of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Deep Learning. However, such complex paradigms intrude increasing computational demands and hence prevent their deployment on resource-constrained devices. In this work, we propose a hierarchical framework that enables to detect objects in high-resolution video frames, and maintain the accuracy of state-of-the-art CNN-based object detectors while outperforming existing works in terms of processing speed when targeting a low-power embedded processor using an intelligent data reduction mechanism. Moreover, a use-case for pedestrian detection from Unmanned-Areal-Vehicle (UAV) is presented showing the impact that the proposed approach has on sensitivity, average processing time and power consumption when is implemented on different platforms. Using the proposed selection process our framework manages to reduce the processed data by 100x leading to under 4W power consumption on different edge devices.

description: An equation of state for 2-flavor quark matter (QM) with diquark condensation under the conditions for compact stars -$β$-equilibrium, charge and color neutrality- is presented. Trapped antineutrinos prevent the formation of the diquark condensate at moderate densities above a critical value of the antineutrino chemical potential $μ_{\bar ν_e}^c$. The following consequences are presented: 1) The star develops a 2-phase structure ($μ_{\bar ν_e}\geq μ_{\bar ν_e}^c$): a color superconducting QM core and a normal QM shell. 2)During the cooling, when the temperature is small enough ($T<1$ MeV) the antineutrino mean free path becomes larger than the thickness of the normal QM shell and the antineutrinos get untrapped in a sudden burst. The energy release is estimated as $\simeq 10^{52}$ erg and an antineutrino pulse is expected to be observed.

description: Coherent control of quantum transitions -- indispensable in quantum technology -- generally relies on the interaction of quantum systems with electromagnetic radiation. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that the non-radiative electromagnetic near-field of a temporally modulated free-space electron beam can be utilized for coherent control of quantum systems. We show that such manipulation can be performed with only classical control over the electron beam itself, and is readily realizable with current technology. This approach may provide a pathway towards spectrally selective quantum control with nano-scale spatial resolution, harnessing the small de Broglie wavelength of electrons.
The energy balance in polars revisited

description: In the EXOSAT and ROSAT eras a significant number of polars were found to show a soft/hard X-ray ratio much greater than that expected from the standard accretion shock model. This was known as the `soft X-ray excess'. We have made an snapshot survey of polars using XMM-Newton and determined their soft/hard ratios. We find that less than one in five of systems show a significant soft X-ray excess, while the rest show ratios consistent with that predicted by the standard model. We have investigated the discrepancy between this and the previous investigations by re-examining all the available ROSAT PSPC pointed observations of polars using more recent calibrations than in the original studies. We find that these data show an energy balance ratio which is broadly consistent with that of our XMM-Newton results. We conclude that the previous studies were affected by the data being less well calibrated. We discuss which physical mechanisms might give rise to a high soft X-ray excess and whether systems with high ratios show more variation in soft X-rays. Surprisingly, we find that 6 out of 21 systems found in a high accretion state did not show a distinct soft X-ray component. Two systems showed one pole with such a component and one which did not. Based on the ratio of the observed soft X-ray to UV flux measurements (which were obtained simultaneously using the Optical Monitor) we suggest that this is because the reprocessed component in these systems is cool enough to have moved out of the soft X-ray band and into the EUV or UV band.

description: We present a variational method for recovering the phase term from the information obtained from phase-shifting methods. First we introduce the new method based on a variational approach and then describe the numerical solution of the proposed cost function, which results in a simple algorithm. Numerical experiments with both synthetic and real fringe patterns shows the accuracy and simplicity of the resulting algorithm.

description: We generalize the notion of parallel transport along paths for abelian bundles to parallel transport along surfaces for abelian gerbes using an embedded Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) approach. We show both for bundles and gerbes with connection that there is a one-to-one correspondence between their local description in terms of locally-defined functions and forms and their non-local description in terms of a suitable class of embedded TQFT's.

description: The violation of the Floquet version of eigenstate thermalization hypothesis is systematically discussed with realistic Hamiltonians. Our model is based on the PXP type interactions without disorder. We exactly prove the existence of many-body scar states in the Floquet eigenstates, by showing the explicit expressions of the wave functions. Using the underlying physical mechanism, various driven Hamiltonians with Floquet-scar states can be systematically engineered.

description: Academic libraries struggle with managing print course reserves and making them easily accessible to students, while also attempting to streamline their service desk operations. At a state university system regional center, the library provides academic support to students from nine institutions that offer graduate and undergraduate studies at the center, which includes course reserves for all programs. The library has initiated a pilot that provides open and easy access to course reserves. This pilot is an effort to improve services to students and faculty following the merger of our circulation and reference desks. When additional consideration was given to improving transactions that occur daily at the service desk, we arrived at the conclusion to make the “Reserves UNreserved.” The pilot is a transition from a traditional check out process to an open self-service, on site use, with no time limit restrictions. How can libraries best manage their course reserve collections, while making them easily accessible to students without hindering their service desk operations? Explore how to overcome this challenges as we discuss the preliminary results of a pilot project that moved course reserves from behind the barrier of a desk to an area in open stacks.

description: Some properties of the modified Bethe-Weizsacker mass formula (BWM) are discussed. As BWM has no shell effect included, the extra-stability or, magicity in nuclei clearly stands out when experimental mass data are compared with BWM predictions. If the shell effect quenches, the BWM predictions come closer to the experimental data.

description: Lens design uses a calculation of the lens' surfaces that permit to obtain an image from a given object. A set of general rules and laws permits to calculate the essential points of the optical system such as distances, thickness, pupils, and focal distance among others. Now, the theory on which the classical lens design is based changes radically as our theoretical foundations do not rely on the classical ray tracing rules. We show that with the rules expressed in a reduced vector analytical solution set of equations, we can take into account all optical elements, i.e. refractive, reflective, catadioptric. These foundations permit to keep under control the system aberration budget in every surface. It reduces the computation time dramatically. The examples presented here were possible because of the versatility of this theoretical approach.
