description: The emerging trend of Federated Cloud models enlist virtualization as a significant concept to offer a large scale distributed Infrastructure as a Service collaborative paradigm to end users. Virtualization leverage Virtual Machines (VM) instantiated from user specific templates labelled as VM Images (VMI). To this extent, the rapid provisioning of VMs with varying user requests ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) across multiple cloud providers largely depends upon the image repository architecture and distribution policies. We discuss the possible state-of-art in VMI storage repository and distribution mechanisms for efficient VM provisioning in federated clouds. In addition, we present and compare various representative systems in this realm. Furthermore, we define a design space, identify current limitations, challenges and open trends for VMI repositories and distribution techniques within federated infrastructure.

To Write or Not to Write: The Impact of Modality on Creative Problem-Solving Ability

description: Spoken and written presentations can differ on a variety of dimensions. While spoken presentation may promote intuitive thought processes, it can also increase cognitive load. Given that creative problem-solving tasks are known to be aided by intuitive thinking, varying the modality of the presentation could impact creative problem-solving ability. We designed a study to evaluate the way in which modality impacts creative problem-solving ability by altering the presentation modality of a creative problem-solving task between subjects. 192 Native English speakers completed the Remote Associate Task (RAT) in either written or spoken form, subsequently completing a surprise recall task and the Cognitive Reflection Task (CRT). Participants did not differ in accuracy on the RAT based on condition, but participants in the spoken condition performed significantly better on the recall task, while participants in the written condition performed significantly better on the CRT. Our results suggest that modality may still impact performance, but only in certain dimensions.

description: We address the issue of lepton flavour violation and neutrino masses in the ``fat-brane'' paradigm, where flavour changing processes are suppressed by localising different fermion field wave-functions at different positions (in the extra dimensions) in a thick brane. We study the consequences of suppressing lepton number violating charged lepton decays within this scenario for lepton masses and mixing angles. In particular, we find that charged lepton mass matrices are constrained to be quasi-diagonal. We further consider whether the same paradigm can be used to naturally explain small Dirac neutrino masses by considering the existence of three right-handed neutrinos in the brane, and discuss the requirements to obtain phenomenologically viable neutrino masses and mixing angles. Finally, we examine models where neutrinos obtain a small Majorana mass by breaking lepton number in a far away brane and show that, if the fat-brane paradigm is the solution to the absence of lepton number violating charged lepton decays, such models predict, in the absence of flavour symmetries, that charged lepton flavour violation will be observed in the next round of rare muon/tau decay experiments.

Fast Convolutional Dictionary Learning off the Grid

description: Given a continuous-time signal that can be modeled as the superposition of localized, time-shifted events from multiple sources, the goal of Convolutional Dictionary Learning (CDL) is to identify the location of the events--by Convolutional Sparse Coding (CSC)--and learn the template for each source--by Convolutional Dictionary Update (CDU). In practice, because we observe samples of the continuous-time signal on a uniformly-sampled grid in discrete time, classical CSC methods can only produce estimates of the times when the events occur on this grid, which degrades the performance of the CDU. We introduce a CDL framework that significantly reduces the errors arising from performing the estimation in discrete time. Specifically, we construct an expanded dictionary that comprises, not only discrete-time shifts of the templates, but also interpolated variants, obtained by bandlimited interpolation, that account for continuous-time shifts. For CSC, we develop a novel computationally efficient CSC algorithm, termed Convolutional Orthogonal Matching Pursuit with interpolated dictionary (COMP-INTERP). We benchmarked COMP-INTERP to Contiunuous Basis Pursuit (CBP), the state-of-the-art CSC algorithm for estimating off-the-grid events, and demonstrate, on simulated data, that 1) COMP-INTERP achieves a similar level of accuracy, and 2) is two orders of magnitude faster. For CDU, we derive a novel procedure to update the templates given sparse codes that can occur both on and off the discrete-time grid. We also show that 3) dictionary update with the overcomplete dictionary yields more accurate templates. Finally, we apply the algorithms to the spike sorting problem on electrophysiology recording and show their competitive performance.

description: The role of associativity or WDVV equations in effective supersymmetric quantum theories is discussed and it is demonstrated that for wide class of their solutions when residue formulas are valid the proof of associativity equations can be reduced to solving the system of ordinary linear equations and depends only upon corresponding matching and nondegeneracy conditions. The covariance of WDVV equations upon generic duality transformations and the role of associativity equations in general context of quasiclassical integrable systems is also discussed.

description: We investigated variations in the marine survival of Japanese hatchery chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) during 25 years of climate change (1998-2023). Japan is the world’s largest hatchery salmon producer, and is located near the global southern distribution limit of chum salmon. Our goal was to identify local and context-specific metrics related to salmon marine survival for use in the adaptive management of hatchery salmon resources. We hypothesized multiple metrics in three categories of stressors: hatchery carryovers, ocean conditions, and predators and competitors. The hatchery carryovers are stressors related to hatchery rearing that affect survival at a different life stage. We collected, processed, and collated large publicly available datasets of metrics into a comprehensive open-access database encompassing the life cycle of Japanese chum salmon, from eggs to adult spawners. Multivariate regression models showed associations between stressor metrics and adult salmon return rate (marine survival) varied by coastal management region, salmon life stage, and seasonal high seas distribution area. Generalized additive models identified a shift to younger age at maturity and egg size decline in all management regions. Our analysis suggested that maternal traits (egg size, fecundity) and quality of fry hatchery salmon (body size at release) are particularly important for survival at later ocean stages. Our results support the hypothesis that whole life-cycle processes from anthropogenic selection in hatcheries to climate-driven changes in coastal predation, inter- and intra-specific high seas competition, and maternal effects during egg maturation at sea are responsible for the observed coastwide decline in survival of Japanese hatchery chum salmon over the past two decades. Our study highlights the need for an experimental approach to hatchery practices, including monitoring and analyses with updated information, leading to effective management decisions and policies for future sustainability and conservation of salmon resources.

description: In this paper, we introduce a portable eye imaging device denoted as lab-on-a-headset, which can automatically perform a swinging flashlight test. We utilized this device in a clinical study to obtain high-resolution recordings of eyes while they are exposed to a varying light stimuli. Half of the participants had relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) while the other half was a control group. In case of positive RAPD, patients pupils constrict less or do not constrict when light stimuli swings from the unaffected eye to the affected eye. To automatically diagnose RAPD, we propose an algorithm based on pupil localization, pupil size measurement, and pupil size comparison of right and left eye during the light reflex test. We validate the algorithmic performance over a dataset obtained from 22 subjects and show that proposed algorithm can achieve a sensitivity of 93.8% and a specificity of 87.5%.

description: We have reconstructed the temperatures and surface densities in the quiescent accretion disc in HT Cas by performing a "Physical Parameter Eclipse Mapping" analysis of archival UBVR observations. Using a simple hydrogen slab model and demanding a smooth, maximally artefact-free reconstruction, we derive a formal distance to HT Cas of 207 +- 10 pc, significantly larger than the 133 +- 14 pc we derive from a re-analysis of the data in the literature. We argue that the larger derived distance is probably incorrect but is not produced by inaccuracies in our spectral model or optimization method. The discrepancy can be resolved if the emission regions on the disc are patchy with a filling factor of about 40% of the disc's surface. This solves the problem with the high effective temperatures in the disc -- reducing them to around 6 500 K within a radius of 0.2 R_L1 -- and reduces the derived temperature of the white dwarf and/or boundary layer from 22600 to 15500 K. We discuss several possible sources of the chromospheric emission and its patchiness, including irradiation of the disc, thermal instabilities, spiral-wave-like global structures, and magnetically active regions associated with dynamo action and/or Balbus-Hawley instabilities.

description: We present spectra of the optical transient of GRB021004 obtained with the Hobby-Eberly telescope starting 15.48, 20.31 hours, and 4.84 days after the burst and a spectrum obtained with the H. J. Smith 2.7 m Telescope starting 14.31 hours after the burst. GRB021004 is the first afterglow whose spectrum is dominated by absorption lines from high ionization species with multiple velocity components separated by up to 3000 km/s. We argue that these lines are likely to come from shells around a massive progenitor star. The high velocities and high ionizations arise from a combination of acceleration and flash-ionization by the burst photons and the wind velocity and steady ionization by the progenitor. We also analyze the broad-band spectrum and the light curve. We distinguish six components along the line of sight: (1) The z~2.293 absorption lines arise from the wind of a massive star. For a mass loss rate of ~6 x 10^{-5} solar masses per year, this component also provides the external medium to create the afterglow light. (2) A second shell produces absorption lines with a relative velocity of 560 km/s, and this is associated with the shell created by the fast massive star wind blowing a bubble in the preceding slow wind at a radial distance of order 10 pc. (3) More distant clouds within the host galaxy lie between 30-2500 pc, where they have been ionized by the burst. (4-6) The massive star wind has clumps with radii and over-densities of 0.022, 0.063, and 0.12 parsecs and 50%, 10%, and 10% respectively. The immediate progenitor of the burster could either be a WC-type Wolf-Rayet star or a highly evolved star whose original mass was just too small for it to become a WN-type Wolf-Rayet star.

description: Recent results from animal irradiation studies have rekindled interest in the potential of ultra-high dose rate irradiation (also known as FLASH) for reducing normal tissue toxicity. However, despite mounting evidence of a "FLASH effect", a mechanism has yet to be elucidated. This article hypothesizes that the radioprotecting effect of FLASH irradiation could be due to the specific sparing of hypoxic stem cell niches, which have been identified in several organs including the bone marrow and the brain. To explore this hypothesis, a new computational model is presented that frames transient radiolytic oxygen depletion (ROD) during FLASH irradiation in terms of its effect on the oxygen enhancement ratio (OER). The model takes into consideration oxygen diffusion through the tissue, its consumption by metabolic cells, and its radiolytic depletion to estimate the relative decrease in radiosensitivity of cells receiving FLASH irradiation. Based on this model, several predictions are made that could be tested in future experiments: (1) the FLASH effect should gradually disappear as the radiation pulse duration is increased from <1s to 10 s; (2) dose should be deposited using the smallest number of radiation pulses to achieve the greatest FLASH effect; (3) a FLASH effect should only be observed in cells that are already hypoxic at the time of irradiation; and (4) changes in capillary oxygen tension (increase or decrease) should diminish the FLASH effect.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

B-modes in cosmic shear from source redshift clustering

description: Weak gravitational lensing by the large scale structure can be used to probe the dark matter distribution in the Universe directly and thus to probe cosmological models. The recent detection of cosmic shear by several groups has demonstrated the feasibility of this new mode of observational cosmology. In the currently most extensive analysis of cosmic shear, it was found that the shear field contains unexpected modes, so-called B-modes, which are thought to be unaccountable for by lensing. B-modes can in principle be generated by an intrinsic alignment of galaxies from which the shear is measured, or may signify some remaining systematics in the data reduction and analysis. In this paper we show that B-modes in fact {\it are produced} by lensing itself. The effect comes about through the clustering of source galaxies, which in particular implies an angular separation-dependent clustering in redshift. After presenting the theory of the decomposition of a general shear field into E- and B-modes, we calculate their respective power spectra and correlation functions for a clustered source distribution. Numerical and analytical estimates of the relative strength of these two modes show that the resulting B-mode is very small on angular scales larger than a few arcminutes, but its relative contribution rises quickly towards smaller angular scales, with comparable power in both modes at a few arcseconds. The relevance of this effect with regard to the current cosmic shear surveys is discussed.

description: In the traditional random-conformational-search model, various hypotheses with a series of meta-stable intermediate states were often proposed to resolve the Levinthal paradox. Here we introduce a quantum strategy to formulate protein folding as a quantum walk on a definite graph, which provides us a general framework without making hypotheses. Evaluating it by the mean of first passage time, we find that the folding time via our quantum approach is much shorter than the one obtained via classical random walks. This idea is expected to evoke more insights for future studies.

description: We describe the effective supergravity theory present below the scale of spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking due to an anomalous U(1), obtained by integrating out tree-level interactions of massive modes. A simple case is examined in some detail. We find that the effective theory can be expressed in the linear multiplet formulation, with some interesting consequences. Among them, the modified linearity conditions lead to new interactions not present in the theory without an anomalous U(1). These additional interactions are compactly expressed through a superfield functional.

Event weights for simulating Bose-Einstein correlations

description: An event weighting method for simulating Bose-Einstein effects in hadronic final states is presented. The weight for an event depends on the momentum distribution of identical bosons in the event. By using a theoretically motivated parametrisation allowing weights below as well as above unity, the necessity of a weight-rescaling procedure is eliminated. A single parameter is used to adjust the average event weight to unity. Once adjusted, the same value of the parameter gives average event weights that are essentially independent of energy, initial quark flavour, multiplicity and jet topology. The influence of Bose-Estein correlations on various measurable quantities in W pair production is found to be small. In particular, none of the scenarios considered resulted in a W mass shift larger than 20 MeV.

description: Given a metric measure space $(X,\mathsf{d},\mathfrak{m})$ and a lower semicontinuous, lower bounded function $k\colon X\to\mathbb{R}$, we prove the equivalence of the synthetic approaches to Ricci curvature at $x\in X$ being bounded from below by $k(x)$ in terms of $\bullet$ the Bakry-Émery estimate $ΔΓ(f)/2 - Γ(f,Δf) \geq k\,Γ(f)$ in an appropriate weak formulation, and $\bullet$ the curvature-dimension condition $\mathrm{CD}(k,\infty)$ in the sense Lott-Sturm-Villani with variable $k$. Moreover, for all $p\in(1,\infty)$, these properties hold if and only if the perturbed $p$-transport cost \begin{equation*} W_p^{\underline{k}}(μ_1,μ_2,t):=\inf_{(\mathsf{b}^1,\mathsf{b}^2)} \mathbb{E}\Big[\mathrm{e}^{\int_0^{2t} p \underline{k}\left(\mathsf{b}^1_{r}, \mathsf{b}^2_{r}\right)/2\,\mathrm{d} r} \mathsf{d}^p\!\left(\mathsf{b}^1_{2t},\mathsf{b}^2_{2t} \right)\!\Big]^{1/p} \end{equation*} is nonincreasing in $t$. The infimum here is taken over pairs of coupled Brownian motions $\mathsf{b}^1$ and $\mathsf{b}^2$ on $X$ with given initial distributions $μ_1$ and $μ_2$, respectively, and $\underline{k}(x,y) := \inf_γ\int_0^1 k(γ_s)\,\mathrm{d} s$ denotes the "average" of $k$ along geodesics $γ$ connecting $x$ and $y$. Furthermore, for any pair of initial distributions $μ_1$ and $μ_2$ on $X$, we prove the existence of a pair of coupled Brownian motions $\mathsf{b}^1$ and $\mathsf{b}^2$ such that a.s. for every $s,t\in[0,\infty)$ with $s\leq t$, we have \begin{equation*} \mathsf{d}\!\left(\mathsf{b}_t^1,\mathsf{b}_t^2\right)\leq \mathrm{e}^{-\int_s^t \underline{k}\left(\mathsf{b}_r^1,\mathsf{b}_r^2\right)/2\,\mathrm{d} r} \mathsf{d}\!\left(\mathsf{b}_s^1,\mathsf{b}_s^2\right)\!. \end{equation*}
