description: We present a novel 3D mapping method leveraging the recent progress in neural implicit representation for 3D reconstruction. Most existing state-of-the-art neural implicit representation methods are limited to object-level reconstructions and can not incrementally perform updates given new data. In this work, we propose a fusion strategy and training pipeline to incrementally build and update neural implicit representations that enable the reconstruction of large scenes from sequential partial observations. By representing an arbitrarily sized scene as a grid of latent codes and performing updates directly in latent space, we show that incrementally built occupancy maps can be obtained in real-time even on a CPU. Compared to traditional approaches such as Truncated Signed Distance Fields (TSDFs), our map representation is significantly more robust in yielding a better scene completeness given noisy inputs. We demonstrate the performance of our approach in thorough experimental validation on real-world datasets with varying degrees of added pose noise.

Slope of the topological charge, proton spin and $0^{-+}$ pseudoscalar di-gluonia spectra

description: We discuss the topics mentioned in the title by scrutinizing and improving the $0^{-+}$ di-gluonia sum rules within the standard SVZ-expansion at N2LO without instantons. First, we reconsider the estimate of the slope of the topological charge $χ'(0)=24.3(3.4)$ MeV which imply $0.144(5) [\rm data: 0.145(13)]$ for the first moment of the polarized proton structure function (proton spin) and $G_A^{(0)} = 0.337(50) [\rm data=0.330(39)]$ for the singlet form factor of the axial current. Second, we work with high degree moments and parametrize the spectral function beyond the minimal duality ansatz: "One resonance plus QCD continuum" to get the $0^{-+}$ di-gluonia spectra. Then, we obtain three groups of gluonia: The familiar light $η_1$ [singlet gluon component of the $η'(958)$] with $[M_{η_1},f_{η_1}]= [825 , 905(72)]$; The two new medium gluonia with $M_{P_{1a}}=1338(112)$ MeV and $[M_{P_{1b}}=1462(117) $ MeV or their mean $[M_{P_1},f_{P_1}]=[1397(81),594(144)]$ MeV which support the gluonium nature of the candidate $η(1405)$ and may bring a small gluon piece to the $η(1295)$; Their 1st radial excitations: $M_{P'_{1a}}=1508(226)$ MeV and $M_{P'_{1b}}=1553(139)$ MeV with their mean: $[M_{P'_1},f_{P'_1}]=[1541(118),205(282)]$ MeV which may be identified (up to some eventual mixings with $\bar qq$ states) with the $η(1475,1700)$ states; The heavy gluonium with : $[M_{P_2}, f_{P_2}]=[2751(140),500(43)]$ MeV comparable with the lattice results. One can remark the (natural) one to one correspondence between the pseudoscalar gluonia and their chiral scalar analogue from Ref.1: $σ(1)\to η_1;~G_1(1.55)\to P_{1}; [σ'(1.1),G'(1.56)]\to P'_{1a,1b};~G_2(3)\to P_2$ which is mainly due to the importance of QCD PT in the sum rule analysis that are almost equal in these two channels. Results for the spectra are in Table 2.

description: The aim of this Letter is to characterize the flow regimes of suspensions of finite-size rigid particles in a viscous fluid at finite inertia. We explore the system behavior as function of the particle volume fraction and the Reynolds number (the ratio of flow and particle inertia to viscous forces). Unlike single phase flows where a clear distinction exists between the laminar and the turbulent states, three different regimes can be identified in the presence of a particulate phase, with smooth transitions between them. At low volume fractions, the flow becomes turbulent when increasing the Reynolds number, transitioning from the laminar regime dominated by viscous forces to the turbulent regime characterized by enhanced momentum transport by turbulent eddies. At larger volume fractions, we identify a new regime characterized by an even larger increase of the wall friction. The wall friction increases with the Reynolds number (inertial effects) while the turbulent transport is weakly affected, as in a state of intense inertial shear-thickening. This state may prevent the transition to a fully turbulent regime at arbitrary high speed of the flow.

description: The observed baryon asymmetry, as well as potentially an asymmetry in the dark matter sector, can be produced through dissipative particle production during inflation. A distinctive feature of this mechanism is the generation of matter isocurvature perturbations that are fully (anti-)correlated with the dominant adiabatic curvature perturbations. We show that chaotic warm inflation models yield anti-correlated isocurvature modes that may partially or even completely screen the contribution of primordial gravity waves to the CMB temperature power spectrum. The tensor-to-scalar ratio inferred from the latter may thus be parametrically smaller than the one deduced from B-mode polarization maps, which is particularly relevant in the light of the recently announced results of the BICEP2 experiment.

description: In this paper, we present ChaosETH, a chaos engineering approach for resilience assessment of Ethereum blockchain clients. ChaosETH operates in the following manner: First, it monitors Ethereum clients to determine their normal behavior. Then, it injects system call invocation errors into one single Ethereum client at a time, and observes the behavior resulting from perturbation. Finally, ChaosETH compares the behavior recorded before, during, and after perturbation to assess the impact of the injected system call invocation errors. The experiments are performed on the two most popular Ethereum client implementations: GoEthereum and Nethermind. We assess the impact of 22 different system call errors on those Ethereum clients with respect to 15 application-level metrics. Our results reveal a broad spectrum of resilience characteristics of Ethereum clients w.r.t. system call invocation errors, ranging from direct crashes to full resilience. The experiments clearly demonstrate the feasibility of applying chaos engineering principles to blockchain systems.

Legal practice, lawyering and the legal profession

description: This thesis investigated how legal education can improve the subsequent therapeutic practise of law for the benefit of people in the community. It offers a way to develop our understanding of how Australian legal writing education can ensure clients, students and other legal actors are ultimately more visible within the law, including in law design, and in meeting legal needs. This thesis proposes that Therapeutic Jurisprudence (‘TJ’) can be used as a pedagogical device in legal writing education to produce lawyers who better meet the needs of their future clients.

description: In this paper, we study the thermodynamic features of a non-linear magnetic-charged AdS black hole surrounded by quintessence, in the background of perfect fluid dark matter(PFDM). After having constructed the corresponding metric, we analyse the structure of the horizon. We find that the existence of inner or outer horizon are constrained by the presence of dark matter. Afterwards, we put out the mass and the temperature of the black hole, in order to get its entropy. Subsequently, we find the expression of the pressure which leads us to get the table of critical values and the isothermal diagram. Especially, we find that the critical values of the temperature and the pressure increase as the dark matter parameter increases. Also, analysing the isothermal diagram, we observe a van der Waals-like behaviour remarked by the presence of a first-order phase transition when we cross the critical temperature. Additionally, we compute and plot the heat capacity and the Hessian matrix of the black hole mass. For the heat capacity, we find that a second-order phase transition occurs, leading the black hole to move from stable phase to unstable one. Furthermore, it comes out that this phase transition point is shifted towards higher values of the horizon radius, as we decrease the dark matter density and increase the quintessence density.

description: Flooding is one of the leading challenges faced by delta cities in the world. Flood risk management using flood control infrastructure (FCI) is a popular solution to prevent flood damage; however, this is receiving enormous criticism due to its negative impacts on urban ecosystems. Recently, there have been new approaches to flood risk management that gradually shifted the focus away from FCI, such as ecological infrastructure (EI) based approaches. However, the conventional thinking that cities cannot be safe without FCI seems an immutable one, especially in developing countries. This study firstly assessed human–river interaction in direct relation to FCI and outlined the limitations of FCI. Then, an urban ecology research model was used to conduct a case study in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), in which the interaction between factors, including riverine urbanization, FCI formation dynamics, the changing hydrological regime, flood risk, and riverine ecosystem degradation were evaluated. Due to the dynamism and complexity of the interactions between humans and rivers at the VMD, this study attempts to demonstrate that building the ability to adapt to flood risks based on EI will have a crucial role in enhancing the sustainability of delta cities. Through a case study in My Tho City (MTC) a flood resilience management scenario for a riverine urban area along the Mekong River was developed to discuss the role of EI in flood risk reduction and the restoration of riverine native ecosystems. The findings from this study suggests that EI should be considered as an effective and indispensable design tool for the conservation of riparian ecological corridors and public open spaces—which is a major challenge for urban areas in the context of increasing climate change impacts in the VMD.

description: This contribution focuses on the development of Model Order Reduction (MOR) for one-way coupled steady state linear thermomechanical problems in a finite element setting. We apply Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) for the computation of reduced basis space. On the other hand, for the evaluation of the modal coefficients, we use two different methodologies: the one based on the Galerkin projection (G) and the other one based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN). We aim at comparing POD-G and POD-ANN in terms of relevant features including errors and computational efficiency. In this context, both physical and geometrical parametrization are considered. We also carry out a validation of the Full Order Model (FOM) based on customized benchmarks in order to provide a complete computational pipeline. The framework proposed is applied to a relevant industrial problem related to the investigation of thermomechanical phenomena arising in blast furnace hearth walls. Keywords: Thermomechanical problems, Finite element method, Proper orthogonal decomposition, Galerkin projection, Artificial neural network, Geometric and physical parametrization, Blast furnace.

This criterion is applied to the classification of non-symplectic prime order automorphisms on manifolds of $K3^{[2]}$ type and we prove that almost all cases are covered. Variations of this notion and the above criterion are introduced and discussed for the other known deformation types of irreducible symplectic manifolds. Furthermore we provide a description of the Picard lattice of several irreducible symplectic manifolds having a lagrangian fibration.

The company had performed well, operating its first restaurant at Bukit Pasoh peacefully until 2021, where the devasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic led to its closure. William opened Wine & Kitchen together with Sally Seow just before the closure of the first restaurant (i.e., December 2020) at the considerably more accessible location of Somerset and operated with an adapted business model. As a result, William now has the opportunity to open his next outlet and enter regional countries. Notwithstanding, several business challenges exist and are presented in this case study. If you were William and Sally, what would you do to overcome them and expand your business?

description: We construct a fully analytic, general relativistic, nonspinning black hole binary spacetime that approximately solves the vacuum Einstein equations everywhere in space and time for black holes sufficiently well separated. The metric is constructed by asymptotically matching perturbed Schwarzschild metrics near each black hole to a two-body post-Newtonian metric far from them, and a two-body post-Minkowskian metric farther still. Asymptotic matching is done without linearizing about a particular time slice, and thus it is valid dynamically and for all times, provided the binary is sufficiently well separated. This approximate global metric can be used for long dynamical evolutions of relativistic magnetohydrodynamical, circumbinary disks around inspiraling supermassive black holes to study a variety of phenomena.

description: We complete the study of characters on higher rank semisimple lattices initiated in [BH19,BBHP20], the missing case being the case of lattices in higher rank simple algebraic groups in arbitrary characteristics. More precisely, we investigate dynamical properties of the conjugation action of such lattices on their space of positive definite functions. Our main results deal with the existence and the classification of characters from which we derive applications to topological dynamics, ergodic theory, unitary representations and operator algebras. Our key theorem is an extension of the noncommutative Nevo-Zimmer structure theorem obtained in [BH19] to the case of simple algebraic groups defined over arbitrary local fields. We also deduce a noncommutative analogue of Margulis' factor theorem for von Neumann subalgebras of the noncommutative Poisson boundary of higher rank arithmetic groups.

description: The relation between the stellar mass and size of a galaxy's structural subcomponents, such as discs and spheroids, is a powerful way to understand the processes involved in their formation. Using very large catalogues of photometric bulge+disc structural decompositions and stellar masses from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Seven, we carefully define two large subsamples of spheroids in a quantitative manner such that both samples share similar characteristics with one important exception: the 'bulges' are embedded in a disc and the 'pure spheroids' are galaxies with a single structural component. Our bulge and pure spheroid subsample sizes are 76,012 and 171,243 respectively. Above a stellar mass of ~$10^{10}$ M$_{\odot}$, the mass-size relations of both subsamples are parallel to one another and are close to lines of constant surface mass density. However, the relations are offset by a factor of 1.4, which may be explained by the dominance of dissipation in their formation processes. Whereas the size-mass relation of bulges in discs is consistent with gas-rich mergers, pure spheroids appear to have been formed via a combination of 'dry' and 'wet' mergers.

description: This paper analyzes volatility spillovers in multivariate GARCH-type models. We show that the cross-effects between the conditional variances determine the persistence of the transmitted volatility innovations. In particular, the effect of a foreign volatility innovation on a conditional variance is even more persistent than the effect of an own innovation unless it is offset by an accompanying negative variance spillover of sufficient size. Moreover, ignoring a negative variance spillover causes a downward bias in the estimate of the initial impact of the foreign volatility innovation. Applying the concept to portfolios of small and large firms, we find that shocks to small firm returns affect the large firm conditional variance once we allow for (negative) spillovers between the conditional variances themselves.

description: Axion-like particles (ALPs) arise in a variety of theoretical contexts and can, in general, mediate flavor violating interactions and parity non-conservation. We consider lepton flavor violating ALPs with GeV scale or larger masses which may, for example, arise in composite dark sector models. We show that a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) can uncover or constrain such ALPs via processes of the type $e \, A_Z \to τ\, A_Z\, a$, where $A_Z$ is a nucleus of charge $Z$ and $a$ is an ALP in the range $m_τ\leq m_a \lesssim 20$ GeV. The production of the ALP can have a large $Z^2$ enhancement from low $Q^2$ electromagnetic scattering of the electron from a heavy ion. Using the gold nucleus ($Z=79$) as an example, we show that the EIC can explore $e-τ$ flavor violation, mediated by GeV-scale ALPs, well beyond current limits. Importantly, the EIC reach for this interaction is not sensitive to the lepton-flavor conserving ALP couplings, whose possible smallness can render searches using $τ$ decays ineffective. We also discuss how the EIC electron beam polarization can provide a powerful tool for investigating parity violating ALPs.

By matching the parity-violating low-energy constants to different sets of corresponding model parameters we obtain estimates for the asymmetry. In addition we calculate two possible figures of merit for the asymmetry in order to assess the preferred photon energy at which to perform a possible future experiment at a high-intensity photon source.

description: This paper presents a novel learning-based clothing deformation method to generate rich and reasonable detailed deformations for garments worn by bodies of various shapes in various animations. In contrast to existing learning-based methods, which require numerous trained models for different garment topologies or poses and are unable to easily realize rich details, we use a unified framework to produce high fidelity deformations efficiently and easily. To address the challenging issue of predicting deformations influenced by multi-source attributes, we propose three strategies from novel perspectives. Specifically, we first found that the fit between the garment and the body has an important impact on the degree of folds. We then designed an attribute parser to generate detail-aware encodings and infused them into the graph neural network, therefore enhancing the discrimination of details under diverse attributes. Furthermore, to achieve better convergence and avoid overly smooth deformations, we proposed output reconstruction to mitigate the complexity of the learning task. Experiment results show that our proposed deformation method achieves better performance over existing methods in terms of generalization ability and quality of details.

description: In this paper, we discuss a distributed control architecture, aimed at networks with linear and time-invariant dynamics, which is amenable to convex formulations for controller design. The proposed approach is well suited for large scale systems, since the resulting feedback schemes completely avoid the exchange of internal states, i.e., plant or controller states, among sub-controllers. Additionally, we provide state-space formulas for these sub-controllers, able to be implemented in a distributed manner.

The analysis is carried out in the framework introduced long ago by Umezawa et al., in which mass generation is achieved via inequivalent representations, and that we generalize to the case of two generations. The method allows a clear identification of the vacuum structure for each physical phase, confirming previous results about the distinct physical nature of the vacuum for fields with definite mass and fields with definite flavor. Implications for the leptonic sector of the Standard Model are briefly discussed.

description: We introduce EFTCAMB/EFTCosmoMC as publicly available patches to the commonly used CAMB/CosmoMC codes. We briefly describe the structure of the codes, their applicability and main features. To illustrate the use of these patches, we obtain constraints on parametrized pure EFT and designer $f(R)$ models, both on $Λ$CDM and $w$CDM background expansion histories, using data from Planck temperature and lensing potential spectra, WMAP low-$\ell$ polarization spectra (WP), and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO). Upon inspecting theoretical stability of the models on the given background, we find non-trivial parameter spaces that we translate into viability priors. We use different combinations of data sets to show their individual effects on cosmological and model parameters. Our data analysis results show that, depending on the adopted data sets, in the $w$CDM background case this viability priors could dominate the marginalized posterior distributions. Interestingly, with Planck+WP+BAO+lensing data, in $f(R)$ gravity models, we get very strong constraints on the constant dark energy equation of state, $w_0\in(-1,-0.9997)\,\,(95% {\rm C.L.})$.

description: Milk fat globules (MFGs) are secreted from the mammalian gland and are composed of a triacylglycerol core surrounded by a triple membrane structure, the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). The MFGM contains complex lipids and proteins reported to have nutritional, immunological, neurological and digestive functions. Human and ruminant milk are shown to share a similar MFG structure but with different size, profile and abundance of protein and polar lipids. This review summarizes the reported data on human, bovine, caprine and ovine MFG composition and concentration of bioactive components in different MFG-size fractions. A comprehensive understanding of compositional variations between milk from different species and MFG size fractions may help promote various milk sources as targeted supplements to improve human development and health. MFG size and MFGM composition are species-specific and affected by lactation, diet and breed (or maternal origin). Purification and enrichment methods for some bioactive proteins and lipids present in the MFGM have yet to be established or are not scaled sufficiently to be used to supplement human diets. To overcome this problem, MFG size selection through fractionation or herd selection may provide a convenient way to pre-enrich the MFG fraction with specific protein and lipid components to fulfill human dietary and health requirements.
Measurement of the direct $CP$-violating charge asymmetry in ${D_s^\pm \rightarrow ϕπ^{\pm}}$ decays

description: We present a measurement of the direct $CP$-violating charge asymmetry in $D_s^\pm \to ϕπ^{\pm}$ decays where the $ϕ$ meson decays to $K^+K^-$, using the full Run II data set with an integrated luminosity of 10.4 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-antiproton collisions collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The normalised difference $A_{CP}$ in the yield of $D_s^+$ and $D_s^-$ mesons in these decays is measured by fitting the difference between their reconstructed invariant mass distributions. This results in an asymmetry of $A_{CP} =\left[ -0.38 \pm 0.27 \right]%$, which is the most precise measurement of this quantity to date. The result is consistent with the standard model prediction of zero $CP$ asymmetry in this decay. Updated to include changes made after referees comments. Corrected an affiliation in the author list.

Revisiting the gluino mass limits in the pMSSM in the light of the latest LHC data and Dark Matter constraints

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the model dependence of the stringent constraints on the gluino mass obtained from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments by analyzing the Run II data using specific simplified models based on several ad hoc sparticle spectra which cannot be realized even in the fairly generic pMSSM models. We first revisit the bounds on the gluino mass placed by the ATLAS collaboration using the $1l + jets + \met$ data. We show that the exclusion region in the $M_{\widetilde{g}}-M_{\widetildeχ^0_1}$ plane in the pMSSM scenario sensitively depends on the mass hierarchy between the left and right squarks and composition of the lighter electroweakinos and, to a lesser extent, other parameters. Most importantly, for higgsino type lighter electroweakinos (except for the LSP), the bound on the gluino mass from this channel practically disappears. However, if such models are confronted by the ATLAS $jets + \met$ data, fairly strong limits are regained. Thus in the pMSSM an analysis involving a small number of channels may provide more reliable mass limits. We have also performed detailed analyses on neutralino dark matter (DM) constraints in the models we have studied and have found that for a significant range of LSP masses, the relic density constraints from the WMAP/PLANCK data are satisfied and LSP-gluino coannihilation plays an important role in relic density production. We have also checked the simultaneous compatibility of the models studied here with the direct DM detection, and the LHC constraints.

description: The Generalized Linear Model (GLM) has been widely used in practice to model counts or other types of non-Gaussian data. This article introduces a framework for feature selection in the GLM that can achieve robust False Discovery Rate (FDR) control. The main idea is to construct a mirror statistic based on data perturbation to measure the importance of each feature. FDR control is achieved by taking advantage of the mirror statistic’s property that its sampling distribution is (asymptotically) symmetric about zero for any null feature. In the moderate-dimensional setting, that is, p/n→κ∈(0,1), we construct the mirror statistic based on the maximum likelihood estimation. In the high-dimensional setting, that is, p≫n, we use the debiased Lasso to build the mirror statistic. The proposed methodology is scale-free as it only hinges on the symmetry of the mirror statistic, thus, can be more robust in finite-sample cases compared to existing methods. Both simulation results and a real data application show that the proposed methods are capable of controlling the FDR and are often more powerful than existing methods including the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure and the knockoff filter.

"Wunderlich, meet Kirchhoff": A general and unified description of elastic ribbons and thin rods

description: The equations for the equilibrium of a thin elastic ribbon are derived by adapting the classical theory of thin elastic rods. Previously established ribbon models are extended to handle geodesic curvature, natural out-of-plane curvature, and a variable width. Both the case of a finite width (Wunderlich's model) and the limit of small width (Sadowksky's model) are recovered. The ribbon is assumed to remain developable as it deforms, and the direction of the generatrices is used as an internal variable. Internal constraints expressing inextensibility are identified. The equilibrium of the ribbon is found to be governed by an equation of equilibrium for the internal variable involving its second-gradient, by the classical Kirchhoff equations for thin rods, and by specific, thin-rod-like constitutive laws; this extends the results of Starostin and van der Heijden (2007) to a general ribbon model. Our equations are applicable in particular to ribbons having geodesic curvature, such as an annulus cut out in a piece of paper. Other examples of application are discussed. By making use of a material frame rather than the Frénet-Serret's frame, the present work unifies the description of thin ribbons and thin rods.

description: We aimed to perform an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) of observational studies of the association of the dietary inflammatory index (DII) with the risk of non-communicable chronic disease and mortality in the general population. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science to November 2020. For each outcome, the summary effect sizes with the corresponding 95%CIs were recalculated using a random-effects model. The certainty of the evidence and the quality of conduct of published SRMAs were rated using the GRADE and ASMTAR 2 tools, respectively. A total of 11 SRMAs of observational studies, reporting pooled effect sizes for 29 outcomes obtain from 60 prospective cohort and 67 case-control studies, were included. Our results demonstrated evidence of moderate certainty for a positive relation between DII and the risk cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality, and colorectal cancer. Higher DII was also associated with site-specific cancer risk, but for cancers at most sites, existing evidence is derived from case-control studies with the certainty of evidence being rated low or very low. Our findings suggested that adherence to a diet with high inflammatory features might be associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality.

description: We present a partitioned Model Order Reduction method for multiphysics problems, that is based on a semi-implicit treatment of the coupling conditions, and on a projection scheme. The proposed Reduced Order Method is based on the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and on a Galerkin projection onto the reduced basis spaces; we aim of addressing both time-dependent and time-dependent, parametrized Fluid-Structure Interaction problems, where the fluid is incompressible and the structure is linear, elastic and two dimensional.
