In 2016, a very strong El Niño increased the amount of precipitation measured on Kiritimati Island (2 °N, 157.4 °W) during the El Niño Rapid Response (ENRR) field campaign. ENRR collected surface meteorological data from January-March 2016. This project focuses on daily precipitation data collected from 1971-2016 during the time of year when ENRR took place, and evaluates how the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the daily rainfall distribution on Kiritimati Island. We analyzed daily rainfall measurements from the automated weather station at the ENRR campaign site, and the official Kiribati Meteorological Service station (PLCH). The long-term data from PLCH (1971-1990, 1996-2003, and 2015-2016) provides a historical context which supports the study of the historical distribution of daily rainfall. We investigated the distribution of daily rainfall on the island during different phases of the ENSO phenomena and found the range of daily rainfall amounts increased as did the likelihood of rain in most rain-rate categories during the El Niño phase, compared to the neutral phase; and La Niña phase had higher probabilities of very little rainfall, narrower ranges of rainfall amounts, and reduced probability of high daily rainfall amount over the island. The daily rainfall collected at the ENRR compaign site matches the general aspects of the El Niño pattern obtained from the PLCH records. Our results provide useful reference for water resource management on the island and evaluation of ENSO impact on daily rainfall in different products of observational analysis and climate model simulations.

description: Context. Stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) are long-period variables that present strong flux variations at almost all wavelengths, including the SiO maser lines. The periods of these variations are of 300-500 days in Mira-type stars and somewhat shorter in semi-regular variables. The variability of the SiO lines on short timescales has been investigated, but the data are inconclusive. Aims. We aim to study the time evolution of the SiO maser lines in Mira-type and semi-regular variables at short timescales. We also discuss the origin of the observed fast variations. Methods. We observed the SiO maser lines at 7 mm (28SiO v=1,2 J=1-0) and 3 mm (28SiO v=1 J=2-1) using the 40 m Yebes antenna and the 30 m IRAM telescope, respectively, with a minimum spacing of 1 day. We studied the semi-regular variables RX Boo and RT Vir and the Mira-type variables U Her, R LMi, R Leo, and $χ$ Cyg. We performed a detailed statistical analysis of the variations on different timescales. Results. RX Boo shows strong and fast variations in the intensity of the different spectral features of the SiO lines at 7 mm and 3 mm. On a timescale of one day, we find variations of >10% in 25% of the cases. Variations of greater than $\sim$50% are often found when the observations are separated by 2 or 3 days. A similar variation rate of the SiO lines at 7 mm is found for RT Vir, but the observations of this object are less complete. On the contrary, the variations of the SiO maser line intensity in the Mira-type variables are moderate, with typical variation rates around <10% in 7 days. This phenomenon can be explained by the presence of particularly small maser-emitting clumps in semi-regular variables, which would lead to a strong dependence of the intensity on the density variations due to the passage of shocks.
Arbutus infill : housing on the edge

description: The theme of this exploration is the issue of habitability. In its most basic sense, dwilling seems to be defined by constructions which carry social values of privacy. At the same time, the many moves of privacying are understood to be relative to public worlds--to the point that ambiguities persist: the fact that pivate percetions can be exchanged for public ones in the very same spaces. Uncovering these relative and, at times, opposite realities means that a great deal of importance is paid to thresholds. By this, I mean the truns in plan, the drops in section, etc. which relate a sequence of unfolding via devices which stimulate subtleties in mood and awareness. Issues of public to private (and its opposite, simultaneous inversion) are investigated using the concept of nested scales . Here, analogous moods shared by movements through scale (eg. street to courtyard; hall to room) are investigated for their synergy. Parallel to these social perceptions are investigations which focus on the elemental specifics of dwellings. What value can hearths be to dwelling? What is a modern control centre for the household? What are the requirements for the bathing ritual? These types of questions permeate the general evalutaion of dwelling design. Sutides which detail abstracted, idealised elements help to inform the larger project-like a kit of parts, they serve as cornerstones which seed and temper the sequential experience of the dwelling. Ultimately, this abstraction absolves the need to make "rooms" but rather to compose dwellings via the integration of elements filtered through public/private dialogues, sequence, and continuity. The site is bounded by 15th and 16th avenues to the North and South and by Arbutus St. and the CPR right of way to the west and east, respectively. Its dimenstions are 270 feet in length and 16 feet and its narrowest, 44 feet and its widest. The site acts as catalyst for the whole project of fitting in thresholds and elements. Like a sandwich, the site compresses thin, discrete, and identifiable componete parts into a whole building. The very narrowness of the site forces a dialogue to surface between the tremendous, double-sided exposure of the building—its public condition, and the construction of nesting scales of prospect and refuge.

The total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 provided a notable opportunity to measure the solar corona at specific emission wavelengths to gain information about coronal magnetic fields. Solar magnetic fields are intimately related to the generation of space weather and its effects on the earth. The infrared imaging and polarization information collected on coronal emission lines here will enhance the scientific value of several other ongoing experiments, as well as benefit the astrophysics and upper atmosphere communities. Coronal measurements were collected during the 2 minute and 24 second totality period from Casper Mountain, WY. Computer-controlled telescopes automatically inserted four different narrow band pass filters to capture images in the visible range on a 4D PolCam, and in the infrared range on the FLIR 8501c camera. Each band pass filter selects a specific wavelength range that corresponds to a known coronal emission line possessing magnetic sensitivity. The 4D PolCam incorporated a novel grid of linear polarizers precisely aligned with the micron scale pixels. This allowed for direct measurement of the degree of linear polarization in a very small instrument with no external moving parts as is typically required. The FLIR offered short exposure times to freeze motion and output accurate thermal measurements. This allowed a new observation of the sun’s corona using thermo infrared technology.

This is dedicated to a preliminary study for the PACS-CS project which plans to complete the Wilson-clover $N_f=2+1$ program lowering the up-down quark masses close to the physical values as much as possible. We focus on three issues: (i) how light quark masses we can reach with LDDHMC, (ii) efficiency of the algorithm compared with the conventional HMC, (iii) parameter choice for the production runs on PACS-CS.

description: The box-covering method plays a fundamental role in the fractal property recognition and renormalization analysis of complex networks. This study proposes the hub-collision avoidance and leaf-node options (HALO) algorithm. In the box sampling process, a forward sampling rule (for avoiding hub collisions) and a reverse sampling rule (for preferentially selecting leaf nodes) are determined for bidirectional network traversal to reduce the randomness of sampling. In the box selection process, the larger necessary boxes are preferentially selected to join the solution by continuously removing small boxes. The compact-box-burning (CBB) algorithm, the maximum-excluded-mass-burning (MEMB) algorithm, the overlapping-box-covering (OBCA) algorithm, and the algorithm for combining small-box-removal strategy and maximum box sampling with a sampling density of 30 (SM30) are compared with HALO in experiments. Results on nine real networks show that HALO achieves the highest performance score and obtains 11.40%, 7.67%, 2.18%, and 8.19% fewer boxes than the compared algorithms, respectively. The algorithm determinism is significantly improved. The fractal dimensions estimated by covering four standard networks are more accurate. Moreover, different from MEMB or OBCA, HALO is not affected by the tightness of the hubs and exhibits a stable performance in different networks. Finally, the time complexities of HALO and the compared algorithms are all O(N^2), which is reasonable and acceptable.

description: Cell segmentation is a major bottleneck in extracting quantitative single-cell information from microscopy data. The challenge is exasperated in the setting of microstructured environments. While deep learning approaches have proven useful for general cell segmentation tasks, existing segmentation tools for the yeast-microstructure setting rely on traditional machine learning approaches. Here we present convolutional neural networks trained for multiclass segmenting of individual yeast cells and discerning these from cell-similar microstructures. We give an overview of the datasets recorded for training, validating and testing the networks, as well as a typical use-case. We showcase the method's contribution to segmenting yeast in microstructured environments with a typical synthetic biology application in mind. The models achieve robust segmentation results, outperforming the previous state-of-the-art in both accuracy and speed. The combination of fast and accurate segmentation is not only beneficial for a posteriori data processing, it also makes online monitoring of thousands of trapped cells or closed-loop optimal experimental design feasible from an image processing perspective.

description: Following our identification of the probable interstellar origin of high-inclination Centaurs, Morbidelli et al. (2020) issued a rebuttal criticizing our methods and conclusions. Here, we show that the criticism is unfounded. Entropy's increase in the past is not an obstacle to accessing the statistical properties of Centaur past orbits as entropic expansion occurs around a time-independent conserved quantity that explains the probable orbits' clustering in parameter space, known as the polar corridor. The Copernican principle does not imply that unstable motion does not exist in the solar system. It clarifies the meaning of the dynamical lifetime ensuring that Centaurs originating in the planetesimal disc are able to return to it in the time-backward simulation. Our conclusions are supported by published independent research that shows conventional disc relaxation models do not explain the abundance of high inclination Centaurs and that enrichment from the interstellar medium is required. Future physical observations of the identified Centaurs and TNOs are likely to reveal the similarities and differences between solar system-born and interstellar origin Centaurs.

Efficient Estimation of Multidimensional Regression Model using Multilayer Perceptrons

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This work concerns the estimation of multidimensional nonlinear regression models using multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). The main problem with such models is that we need to know the covariance matrix of the noise to get an optimal estimator. However, we show in this paper that if we choose as the cost function the logarithm of the determinant of the empirical error covariance matrix, then we get an asymptotically optimal estimator. Moreover, under suitable assumptions, we show that this cost function leads to a very simple asymptotic law for testing the number of parameters of an identifiable MLP. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.

description: Mosquito acoustic communication is studied for its singular and poorly-known in-flight hearing mechanism, for its efficiency in mechanical-to-acoustical power transduction, as well as for being the deadliest disease vector. A combined computational and experimental methods to predict and extract the wing-tone sound from individual tethered or free-flying mosquitoes was developed. This paper describes the experimental methods and gives some preliminary results of the simulations. Simultaneous slow-motion images (20k fps) and 3D-sound of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes were recorded. The sound map around the mosquitoes was recorded in one or two planes with a rotating array of 12-microphones. Backilluminated mosquito-wings allowed to extract 11 veincrossing locations on each high-speed camera image over 3-4 wingbeat periods to generate 3D deformations of the wing. Simultaneous 3D sound data recorded by microphone arrays were post-processed by using the physicsbased independent component analysis to filter out the noise and generate a 3D sound map. The simulated wingtone sound pattern generated from the aeroacoustic simulation agrees well with the original recording in the experiment using the microphone array. The methods we developed will allow us to investigate the wing-tone soundscape of individual mosquitoes during the courtship and mate-chasing.

description: The gravitational collapse of a thick cylindrical shell of dust matter is investigated. It is found that a spacetime singularity forms on the symmetry axis and that it is necessarily naked, i.e., observable in principle. We propose a physically reasonable boundary condition at this naked singularity to construct the solution including its causal future. This boundary condition enables us to construct the unique continuation of spacetime beyond the naked singularity and ensures that the dust shell passes through the naked singularity. When the cylindrical shell leaves its symmetry axis away, the naked singularity disappears, and regularity is recovered. We construct numerical solutions with this feature. This result implies that the gravity produced by a thick cylindrical shell of dust is too weak to bind the shell even if it engenders the formation of a curvature singularity which is so strong as to satisfy the limiting focusing condition. For this reason, this naked singularity is very weak in the extended spacetime; the metric tensor is $C^{1-}$ even at the naked singularity, and the extended spacetime is complete for almost all geodesics. This feature is also seen for singular hypersurfaces. Such an extended spacetime can be regarded as phenomenological in the sense that it is valid if the relevant microphysics length scale is sufficiently small compared to the scale of interest.

description: Deep learning is a rapidly developing approach in the field of infrared and visible image fusion. In this context, the use of dense blocks in deep networks significantly improves the utilization of shallow information, and the combination of the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) also improves the fusion performance of two source images. We propose a new method based on dense blocks and GANs , and we directly insert the input image-visible light image in each layer of the entire network. We use SSIM and gradient loss functions that are more consistent with perception instead of mean square error loss. After the adversarial training between the generator and the discriminator, we show that a trained end-to-end fusion network -- the generator network -- is finally obtained. Our experiments show that the fused images obtained by our approach achieve good score based on multiple evaluation indicators. Further, our fused images have better visual effects in multiple sets of contrasts, which are more satisfying to human visual perception.

description: A long-standing puzzle in commodity markets is the low explanatory power of supply and demand fundamentals for explaining the variability of prices in these markets. We apply an instrumental variables correction for measurement errors to investigate how noise in the surprise component of USDA Crop Production reports affects estimated price responses in corn, soybeans, and wheat futures markets from 1970 to 2016. Our findings demonstrate that after correcting for measurement error in market surprises, the explanatory power of fundamentals increases about three-fold and often exceeds 70%. This is compelling evidence that fundamentals are the main driver of price movements in grain futures markets.

description: We discuss the representations of the algebra of quantization, the canonical commutation relations, in a scalar quantum field theory with spontaneously broken U(1) internal symmetry, when a topological defect of the vortex type is formed via the condensation of Nambu-Goldstone particles. We find that the usual thermodynamic limit is not necessary in order to have the inequivalent representations needed for the existence of physically disjoint phases of the system. This is a new type of inequivalence, due to the nontrivial topological structure of the phase space, that appears at finite volume. We regard this as a first step towards a unifying view of topological and thermodynamic phases, and offer here comments on the possible application of this scenario to quantum gravity.

description: Wireless communication highly depends on the cellular ground base station (GBS). A failure of the cellular GBS, fully or partially, during natural or man-made disasters creates a communication gap in the disaster-affected areas. In such situations, public safety communication (PSC) can significantly save the national infrastructure, property, and lives. Throughout emergencies, the PSC can provide mission-critical communication and video transmission services in the affected area. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as flying base stations (UAV-BSs) are particularly suitable for PSC services as they are flexible, mobile, and easily deployable. This manuscript considers a multi-UAV-assisted PSC network with an observational UAV receiving videos from the affected area's ground users (AGUs) and transmitting them to the nearby GBS via a relay UAV. The objective of the proposed study is to maximize the average utility of the video streams generated by the AGUs upon reaching the GBS. This is achieved by optimizing the positions of the observational and relay UAVs, as well as the distribution of communication resources, such as bandwidth, and transmit power, while satisfying the system-designed constraints, such as transmission rate, rate outage probability, transmit power budget, and available bandwidth. To this end, a joint UAVs placement and resource allocation problem is mathematically formulated. The proposed problem poses a significant challenge for a solution. Considering the block coordinate descent and successive convex approximation techniques, an efficient iterative algorithm is proposed. Finally, simulation results are provided which show that our proposed approach outperforms the existing methods.

Solar energetic particles (SEPs) endanger satellites and astronauts in orbit and can disrupt air traffic and spaceflight communication, among other effects. Therefore, the ability to forecast these events in advance is vital, both, economically, and for the safety of air and space-faring passengers. Considering that the method of acceleration and transport of these particles is still an area of active research and that physics-based models are, currently, computationally slower than empirical models, forecasters at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center make use of the latter to make real-time decisions. The motivation behind this project was to create a model that improves upon the results of the statistical model currently in use at the Space Weather Prediction Center. Machine learning models learn and make decisions based on empirical data and are currently much quicker than numerical models for issuing a forecast. For this project, logistic regression and boosted decision trees are used to make a binary classification, i.e. whether or not there will be an SEP event based on the physical parameters associated with solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Preliminary results seem to show that the boosted decision trees outperform the current SWPC Proton Prediction Model.

description: We propose and analyse a scheme for measuring the quadrature statistics of an atom laser beam using extant optical homodyning and Raman atom laser techniques. Reversal of the normal Raman atom laser outcoupling scheme is used to map the quantum statistics of an incoupled beam to an optical probe beam. A multimode model of the spatial propagation dynamics shows that the Raman incoupler gives a clear signal of de Broglie wave quadrature squeezing for both pulsed and continuous inputs. Finally, we show that experimental realisations of the scheme may be tested with existing methods via measurements of Glauber's intensity correlation function.

description: Machine learning models underpin many modern financial systems for use cases such as fraud detection and churn prediction. Most are based on supervised learning with hand-engineered features, which relies heavily on the availability of labelled data. Large self-supervised generative models have shown tremendous success in natural language processing and computer vision, yet so far they haven't been adapted to multivariate time series of financial transactions. In this paper, we present a generative pretraining method that can be used to obtain contextualised embeddings of financial transactions. Benchmarks on public datasets demonstrate that it outperforms state-of-the-art self-supervised methods on a range of downstream tasks. We additionally perform large-scale pretraining of an embedding model using a corpus of data from 180 issuing banks containing 5.1 billion transactions and apply it to the card fraud detection problem on hold-out datasets. The embedding model significantly improves value detection rate at high precision thresholds and transfers well to out-of-domain distributions.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) nationwide Weather-Ready Nation (WRN) Ambassador™ initiative affords each individual National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Office (WFO) the ability to recruit and work closely with WRN Ambassadors in their local County Warning Area (CWA). This project developed the Denver/Boulder Care Model (DBCM), a protocol for WFO Denver/Boulder that encompasses Ambassador recruitment and marketing plans and decision support services. DBCM is a scalable model that supports Ambassadors with education, outreach, and other weather, water, and climate-related decision-making materials, encourages open dialogue and collaboration, builds trust, promotes transparency, and welcomes suggestions from Ambassadors. The goal of the DBCM is to help prepare WFO Denver/Boulder partners for high-impact severe weather, water, and climate-related events, help mitigate the loss of life and property through partner education, and enable efficient use of staff during Blue Sky (fair weather) days. DBCM allows WFO Denver/Boulder to develop strong working partnerships before hazardous weather threatens so that both the WFO and decision-makers are well-equipped to work together during impactful events. Qualitative surveys were disseminated to current and potential Ambassadors of WFO Denver/Boulder. Content for DBCM was developed by evaluating survey responses, thorough discussion with the Meteorologist In Charge (MIC) and Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM), and collaboration with other WFOs. DBCM contains a compilation of administrative, recruitment, outreach, and partner support materials. This paper will provide an overview of the DBCM development process, as well as how the model could be implemented at WFO Denver/Boulder.

description: Microwave electric field sensing is of importance for a wide range of applications in areas of remote sensing, radar astronomy and communications. Over the past decade, Rydberg atoms, owing to their exaggerated response to microwave electric fields, plentiful optional energy levels and integratable preparation methods, have been used in ultra-sensitive, wide broadband, traceable, stealthy microwave electric field sensing. This review first introduces the basic concept of quantum sensing, properties of Rydberg atoms and principles of quantum sensing of microwave electric fields with Rydberg atoms. Then an overview of this very active research direction is gradually expanded, covering progresses of sensitivity and bandwidth in Rydberg atoms based icrowavesensing,uperheterodyne quantum sensing with microwave-dressed Rydberg atoms, quantum-enhanced sensing of microwave electric field, recent advanced quantum measurement systems and approaches to further improve the performance of microwave electric field sensing. Finally, a brief outlook on future development directions is discussed.

The pinning model is defined by giving the field a reward $\varepsilon\ge0$ each time it touches the x-axis, that plays the role of a defect line. It is known that this model exhibits a phase transition between a delocalized regime $(\varepsilon\varepsilon_c)$, where $0

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation besteht in der Decarboxylierung von ausgewählten biobasierten Carbonsäuren zum Erhalt von wichtigen Decarboxylierungsprodukten biogenen Ursprungs. Zu diesem Zweck finden Decarboxylierungsexperimente ausgehend von Levulinsäure zu Methylethylketon und von Itaconsäure zu Methacrylsäure statt. Die Decarboxylierungsversuche können sowohl rein thermisch als auch basenkatalysiert oder unter Zuhilfenahme geeigneter Übergangsmetallkatalysatoren durchgeführt werden. Es werden verschiedene Variationsexperimente zur Steigerung der Ausbeute des Wunschprodukts durchgeführt. Im Fokus stand dabei besonders die, aufgrund des umfangreicheren Reaktionsnetzwerks, komplexere Decarboxylierung von Itaconsäure. Dabei zeigt vor allem die basenkatalysierte Umsetzung von Itaconsäure besonders hohe Ausbeuten an Methacrylsäure. Mit Hilfe des experimentell erhaltenen Reaktions-Zeit-Verlaufs und eines geeigneten Kinetikmodells lassen sich zudem Modellierungen zur Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie der Decarboxylierung von Itaconsäure zu Methacrylsäure erhalten.
Diurnal Temperature Variability: An Observations-Climate Model Intercomparison

Surface temperature measurements since the mid-20thcentury have revealed a diurnally asymmetric global warming trend, with nighttime minimum temperatures increasing faster than daily maxima. The result is an overall decrease in the diurnal temperature range (DTR), which has implications for agriculture, streamflow, winter sports, as well as the overall magnitude of global warming. We begin with an assessment of the fidelity of global climate model (GCM)-simulated DTR baseline estimates between 2007 and 2016 through comparison with similar calculations using modern atmospheric reanalysis data. Significant deviations between observed and GCM-simulated baseline DTR, largely characterized by an overestimate of DTR by GCMs, are proposed to be associated with inaccuracies in GCM-simulated water vapor concentrations, as DTR is known to be closely related to atmospheric water vapor concentration. Further, through linear regression, we built an empirical model for predicting DTR variability with respect to changes in specific humidity. This was used to derive an alternative approach to projecting how the diurnally asymmetric warming trend may continue and interact with global warming. Such projections indicate that DTR will decline by 1-2˚C over global land regions and by ~0.5˚C over the global oceans. Model biases in DTR may be symptomatic of other limitations such as the physical parameterizations of cloud and precipitation processes, warranting further investigation to increase the reliability of global warming projections.
