description: "Neutron Optics and Physics (NOP/ BL05)" at MLF in J-PARC is a beamline for studies of fundamental physics. The beamline is divided into three branches so that different experiments can be performed in parallel. These beam branches are being used to develop a variety of new projects. We are developing an experimental project to measure the neutron lifetime with total uncertainty of 1 s (0.1%). The neutron lifetime is an important parameter in elementary particle and astrophysics. Thus far, the neutron lifetime has been measured by several groups; however, different values are obtained from different measurement methods. This experiment is using a method with different sources of systematic uncertainty than measurements conducted to date. We are also developing a source of pulsed ultra-cold neutrons (UCNs) produced from a Doppler shifter are available at the unpolarized beam branch. We are developing a time focusing device for UCNs, a so called "rebuncher", which can increase UCN density from a pulsed UCN source. At the low divergence beam branch, an experiment to search an unknown intermediate force with nanometer range is performed by measuring the angular dependence of neutron scattering by noble gases. Finally the beamline is also used for the research and development of optical elements and detectors. For example, a position sensitive neutron detector that uses emulsion to achieve sub-micrometer resolution is currently under development. We have succeeded in detecting cold and ultra-cold neutrons using the emulsion detector.

description: Depth estimation is a fundamental knowledge for autonomous systems that need to assess their own state and perceive the surrounding environment. Deep learning algorithms for depth estimation have gained significant interest in recent years, owing to the potential benefits of this methodology in overcoming the limitations of active depth sensing systems. Moreover, due to the low cost and size of monocular cameras, researchers have focused their attention on monocular depth estimation (MDE), which consists in estimating a dense depth map from a single RGB video frame. State of the art MDE models typically rely on vision transformers (ViT) architectures that are highly deep and complex, making them unsuitable for fast inference on devices with hardware constraints. Purposely, in this paper, we address the problem of exploiting ViT in MDE on embedded devices. Those systems are usually characterized by limited memory capabilities and low-power CPU/GPU. We propose METER, a novel lightweight vision transformer architecture capable of achieving state of the art estimations and low latency inference performances on the considered embedded hardwares: NVIDIA Jetson TX1 and NVIDIA Jetson Nano. We provide a solution consisting of three alternative configurations of METER, a novel loss function to balance pixel estimation and reconstruction of image details, and a new data augmentation strategy to improve the overall final predictions. The proposed method outperforms previous lightweight works over the two benchmark datasets: the indoor NYU Depth v2 and the outdoor KITTI.

description: Models for population dynamics in rivers and streams have highlighted the importance of spatial and temporal variations for population persistence. We present a novel model that considers the longitudinal variation as introduced by the sinuosity of a meandering river where a main channel is laterally extended to point bars in bends. These regions offer different habitat conditions for aquatic populations and therefore may enhance population persistence. Our model is a non-standard reaction-advection-diffusion model where the domain of definition consists of the real line (representing the main channel) with periodically added intervals (representing the point bars). We give an existence and uniqueness proof for solutions of the equations. We then study population persistence as the (in-) stability of the trivial solution and population spread as the minimal wave speed of traveling periodic waves. We conduct a sensitivity analysis to highlight the importance of each parameter on the model outcome. We find that sinuosity can enhance species persistence.

We take randomly distributed charged impurities at a fixed distance from the graphene sheet and surface fluctuations (ripples) as the main scattering mechanisms. Mode-coupling approach to scattering rate and random-phase approximation for ground-state energy incorporating the many-body interactions and the disorder effects yields good agreement with experimental inverse compressibility.

description: Adverse drug-drug interactions~(DDIs) can compromise the effectiveness of concurrent drug administration, posing a significant challenge in healthcare. As the development of new drugs continues, the potential for unknown adverse effects resulting from DDIs becomes a growing concern. Traditional computational methods for DDI prediction may fail to capture interactions for new drugs due to the lack of knowledge. In this paper, we introduce a new problem setup as zero-shot DDI prediction that deals with the case of new drugs. Leveraging textual information from online databases like DrugBank and PubChem, we propose an innovative approach TextDDI with a language model-based DDI predictor and a reinforcement learning~(RL)-based information selector, enabling the selection of concise and pertinent text for accurate DDI prediction on new drugs. Empirical results show the benefits of the proposed approach on several settings including zero-shot and few-shot DDI prediction, and the selected texts are semantically relevant.

Le trouble du comportement chez les élèves de l'enseignement primaire: Analyse des effets de la relation maître-élève et des interventions disciplinaires en milieu scolaire
Creators: name: Khaznaji, Amel
Publisher: name: My University

description: Depuis plusieurs années, le trouble de comportement chez les élèves constitue une préoccupation importante pour les agents d’éducation. La littérature montre d'ailleurs que le nombre d'enfants qui expriment des difficultés comportementales à l’école ne cesse d'augmenter. Ce phénomène se manifeste de diverses manières et il serait principalement lié à l’adaptation scolaire et sociale des enfants du préscolaire et du début du primaire. Il est important de mentionner que l'école constitue pour un grand nombre d'enfants, un milieu stressant car elle représente un terrain chargé de défis à relever. De ce fait, le rôle des enseignants encadrant les élèves est essentiel dans l'évaluation et la prévention de leurs difficultés. Le but de la présente étude est d'examiner le trouble du comportement à l'école selon le point de vue des enseignantes. Afin de répondre à notre question de recherche, nous avons interrogé quatre enseignantes au niveau primaire, travaillant dans des écoles publiques au Québec et ayant une expérience avec des élèves présentant un trouble de comportement. Des entrevues individuelles semi-dirigées ont été réalisées, suivi d'une analyse puis d'un traitement des données, effectués en conformité avec la méthode qualitative en recherche. Les résultats de cette étude nous ont permis de dégager la perception des enseignantes du trouble du comportement, de ses origines et de ses facteurs aggravants qui relèvent essentiellement du contexte familial. Sans faire abstraction du rôle que joue le contexte scolaire, les enseignantes ont également mis en avant les principales composantes d'une bonne relation maître-élève ainsi que les stratégies pour sa mise en place. À partir des propos recueillis, nous avons réussi à identifier les facteurs qui entravaient la construction d'une relation chaleureuse entre l'enseignant et l'élève ainsi que les interventions disciplinaires qui favorisaient la visibilité et la différenciation des enfants en difficulté.

description: We consider the online metric matching problem. In this problem, we are given a graph with edge weights satisfying the triangle inequality, and k vertices that are designated as the right side of the matching. Over time up to k requests arrive at an arbitrary subset of vertices in the graph and each vertex must be matched to a right side vertex immediately upon arrival. A vertex cannot be rematched to another vertex once it is matched. The goal is to minimize the total weight of the matching. We give a O(log2 k) competitive randomized algorithm for the problem. This improves upon the best known guarantee of O(log3 k) due to Meyerson, Nanavati and Poplawski [19] . It is well known that no deterministic algorithm can have a competitive less than 2k − 1, and that no randomized algorithm can have a competitive ratio of less than ln k.

description: Raman spectroscopy experiments on single crystals of CuSb2O6 and CoSb2O6 quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnets with trirutile crystal structure were performed, with a focus on the first material. The observed Raman-active phonon modes and previously reported infrared-active modes were identified with the aid of ab-initio lattice dynamics calculations. The structural transition between monoclinic beta-CuSb2O6 and tetragonal alpha-CuSb2O6 phases at Ts=400 K is manifested in our spectra by a "repulsion" of two accidentally quasi-degenerate symmetric modes below Ts, caused by a phonon mixing effect that is only operative in the monoclinic beta-CuSb2O6 phase due to symmetry restrictions. Also, two specific phonons, associated with CuO6 octahedra rotation and with a Jahn-Teller elongation mode, soften and broaden appreciably as T -> Ts. A crossover from a displacive to an order-disorder transition at Ts is inferred.

description: Curiosity-driven learning has shown significant positive effects on students' learning experiences and outcomes. But despite this importance, reports show that children lack this skill, especially in formal educational settings. To address this challenge, we propose an 8-session workshop that aims to enhance children's curiosity through training a set of specific metacognitive skills we hypothesize are involved in its process. Our workshop contains animated videos presenting declarative knowledge about curiosity and the said metacognitive skills as well as practice sessions to apply these skills during a reading-comprehension task, using a web platform designed for this study (e.g. expressing uncertainty, formulating questions, etc). We conduct a pilot study with 15 primary school students, aged between 8 and 10. Our first results show a positive impact on children's metacognitive efficiency and their ability to express their curiosity through question-asking behaviors.

The half-quantum fluxoid manifests itself as a $π$ phase shift in the quantum oscillation of the critical temperature. This result verifies unconventional superconductivity of $β$-Bi$_2$Pd, in accord with the expectation of a topological superconductor. We also discuss the strong indication that $β$-Bi$_2$Pd is a spin-triplet superconductor.

description: The propagation dynamics of spin waves are represented by their dispersion relations. Recently, we have developed a method, called spin-wave tomography (SWaT), to obtain dispersion relation of spin waves in the long wavelength regime, so-called pure magnetostatic waves. In our previous studies on SWaT, phase information of spin waves was disregarded. In this report, we demonstrate an advanced SWaT analysis, called phase-resolved spin-wave tomography (PSWaT), to realize the direct observation of the amplitude and the phase of spin waves. The PSWaT spectra are obtained by separating the real and the imaginary components of the complex Fourier transform in the SWaT analysis. We demonstrate the PSWaT spectra of spin waves excited by the photo-induced demagnetization in a Bi-doped garnet film, reflecting the characteristic features of the complex dynamical susceptibility affected by magnetostatic coupling in the film.

description: Gli ultimi dieci anni sono stati cruciali per l’Ue: hanno evidenziato i limiti e le contraddizioni di un processo di integrazione che ha perso la sua spinta propulsiva. Se nelle elezioni del 2014 la crisi si è manifestata in un euroscetticismo scomposto e disaggregato, nel 2019 molti cittadini hanno intravisto nel ritorno allo stato-nazione la soluzione ai problemi che affliggono il continente. L’Europa del 2019 è ancora l’Europa della crisi o forse più semplicemente, un’Europa in crisi che ha rinunciato ai grandi progetti in nome di una chiusura in se stessa. A partire da questo scenario, il volume attraverso i contributi di giovani studiosi, ripercorre le tappe che hanno condotto alla situazione attuale, alla ricerca di fenomeni che hanno caratterizzato fin dalle origini la storia dell’Ue o che sono maggiormente legati ai cambiamenti socio-politici scaturiti dalla crisi economica.

description: We apply a very simple procedure to construct non-singular cosmological models for flat Friedmann universes filled with minimally coupled scalar fields or by tachyon Born-Infeld-type fields. Remarkably, for the minimally coupled scalar field and the tachyon field, the regularity of the cosmological evolution, or in other words, the existence of bounce, implies the necessity of the transition between scalar fields with standard kinetic terms to those with phantom ones. In both cases, the potentials in the vicinity of the point of the transition have a non-analyticity of the cusp form that is characterized by the same exponent and is equal to 2/3. If, in the tachyon models evolution, the pressure changes its sign, then another transformation of the Born-Infeld-type field occurs: the tachyon transforms into a pseudotachyon, and vice versa. We also undertake an analysis of the stability of the cosmological evolution in our models; we rely on the study of the speed of sound squared.

description: THE COGENT (Compiler and Generalized Translator) programming system is a compiler whose input language is designed to describe symbolic or linguistic manipulation algorithms. Although the system is intended primarily for use as a compiler compiler, it is also applicable to such problem areas as algebraic manipulation, mechanical theorem-proving, and heuristic programming. In designing the system the major objective has been to unify the concept of syntax-directed compilation1 with the more general but primitive concept of recursive list-processing2. This objective is achieved by using the syntax of a language to define a mapping between strings of the language and list structures. Given such a mapping, linguistic processes become equivalent to list processes, and a list-processing language becomes a concise vehicle for describing such processes. Thus a program written in the COGENT language is a list-processing program in which the list structures normally represent phrases of one or more object languages (i.e., the input and output languages to be processed by the program), in a representation determined by the syntax of these languages. Correspondingly, the COGENT language itself contains two major constructions: productions, which define the object language syntax, and generator definitions, which define list-processing subroutines called generators.

Moreover we derive new precise information on the domain of holomorphy of $γ(z),$ the generating function associated with the coefficients $γ_n.$

description: Higher order topological insulators (HOTI) have emerged as a new class of phases, whose robust in-gap "corner" modes arise from the bulk higher-order multipoles beyond the dipoles in conventional topological insulators. Here, we incorporate Floquet driving into HOTI's, and report for the first time a dynamical polarization theory with anomalous non-equilibrium multipoles. Further, a proposal to detect not only corner states but also their dynamical origin in cold atoms is demonstrated, with the latter one never achieved before. Experimental determination of anomalous Floquet corner modes are also proposed.

description: We show that collisions between the outer Galactic HI disk and the leading arms (LAs) of the Magellanic stream (MS) can create giant HI holes and chimney-like structures in the disk. Based on the results of our N-body simulations on the last 2.5 Gyr evolution of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) interacting with the Galaxy, we investigate when and where the LAs can pass through the Galactic plane after the MS formation. We then investigate hydrodynamical interaction between LAs and the Galactic HI disk (``the Magellanic impact'') by using our new hydrodynamical simulations with somewhat idealized models of the LAs. We find that about 1-3% of the initial gas mass of the SMC, which consists of the LAs, can pass through the outer part (R=20-35 kpc) of the Galactic HI disk about 0.2 Gyr ago. We also find that the Magellanic impact can push out some fraction (~1%) of the outer Galactic HI disk to form 1-10 kpc-scale HI holes and chimney-like bridges between the LAs and the disk.

In particular, a calculation of the frequency and angular dependent response function that a GW detector would see if massive modes from f(R) theories or scalar tensor gravity (STG) were present, allowing for sources incident from any direction on the sky, is shown. In addition, through separate theoretical results which do not involve the recent GW detections, we show that f(R) theories of gravity having a third massless mode are ultimately ruled out while there is still room for STG having a third (massive or massless) mode and for f(R) theories of gravity having a third massive mode.

description: Secondary osseous involvement in lymphoma is more common compared to primary bone lymphoma. The finding of osseous lesion can be incidentally discovered during the course of the disease. However, osseous metastases are infrequently silent. Detection of osseous metastases is crucial for accurate staging and optimal treatment planning of lymphoma. The aim of imaging is to identify the presence and extent of osseous disease and to assess for possible complications such as pathological fracture of the load-bearing bones and cord compression if the lesion is spinal. We are presenting two patients with treated lymphoma who were in complete remission. On routine follow-up contrast enhanced CT, there were new osteoblastic lesions in the spine worrisome for metastases. Additional studies were performed for further evaluation of both of them which did not demonstrate any corresponding suspicious osseous lesion. The patients have a prior history of chronic venous occlusive thrombosis that resulted in collaterals formation. Contrast enhancement of the vertebral body marrow secondary to collaterals formation and venous flow through the vertebral venous plexus can mimic the appearance of spinal osteoblastic metastases.

description: We investigate the effect of unparticles in the pure $ b \to d $ penguin processes $ B^0 \to K^0 \bar K^0$ and $B^{+,0} \to ϕπ^{+,0} $. Since these processes receive dominant contributions due to the {\it top} quark in the loop, direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetry parameters in these processes are expected to be vanishingly small in the standard model. We find that due to the unparticle effect sizable nonzero CP violation could be possible in these channels.

Dynamical stabilization and traveling waves in integrodifference equations

Year: 2020

description: Integrodifference equations are discrete-time analogues of reactiondiffusion equations and can be used to model the spatial spread and invasion of non-native species. They support solutions in the form of traveling waves, and the speed of these waves gives important insights about the speed of biological invasions. Typically, a traveling wave leaves in its wake a stable state of the system. Dynamical stabilization is the phenomenon that an unstable state arises in the wake of such a wave and appears stable for potentially long periods of time, before it is replaced with a stable state via another transition wave. While dynamical stabilization has been studied in systems of reaction-diffusion equations, we here present the first such study for integrodifference equations. We use linear stability analysis of traveling-wave profiles to determine necessary conditions for the emergence of dynamical stabilization and relate it to the theory of stacked fronts. We find that the phenomenon is the norm rather than the exception when the non-spatial dynamics exhibit a stable two-cycle.

description: The ice-albedo feedback on rapidly-rotating terrestrial planets in the habitable zone can lead to abrupt transitions (bifurcations) between a warm and a snowball (ice-covered) state, bistability between these states, and hysteresis in planetary climate. This is important for planetary habitability because snowball events may trigger rises in the complexity of life, but could also endanger complex life that already exists. Recent work has shown that planets tidally locked in synchronous rotation states will transition smoothly into the snowball state rather than experiencing bifurcations. Here we investigate the structure of snowball bifurcations on planets that are tidally influenced, but not synchronously rotating, so that they experience long solar days. We use PlaSIM, an intermediate-complexity global climate model, with a thermodynamic mixed layer ocean and the Sun's spectrum. We find that the amount of hysteresis (range in stellar flux for which there is bistability in climate) is significantly reduced for solar days with lengths of tens of Earth days, and disappears for solar days of hundreds of Earth days. These results suggest that tidally influenced planets orbiting M and K-stars that are not synchronously rotating could have much less hysteresis associated with the snowball bifurcations than they would if they were rapidly rotating. This implies that the amount of time it takes them to escape a snowball state via CO$_2$ outgassing would be greatly reduced, as would the period of cycling between the warm and snowball state if they have a low CO$_2$ outgassing rate.

description: We report on a broadband GaAs/AlAs superlattice detector for THz radiation; a THz field reduces the current through a superlattice, which is carried by miniband electrons, due to modulation of the Bloch oscillations of the miniband electrons. We studied the detector response, by use of a free electron laser, in a large frequency range (5–12 THz). The responsivity showed strong minima at frequencies of infrared active phonons of the superlattice. A theoretical analysis of the detector delivers an understanding of the role of phonons and gives a characterization of the responsivity.

description: One-dimensional quantum cellular automata (QCA) consist in a line of identical, finite dimensional quantum systems. These evolve in discrete time steps according to a local, shift-invariant unitary evolution. By local we mean that no instantaneous long-range communication can occur. In order to define these over a Hilbert space we must restrict to a base of finite, yet unbounded configurations. We show that QCA always admit a two-layered block representation, and hence the inverse QCA is again a QCA. This is a striking result since the property does not hold for classical one-dimensional cellular automata as defined over such finite configurations. As an example we discuss a bijective cellular automata which becomes non-local as a QCA, in a rare case of reversible computation which does not admit a straightforward quantization. We argue that a whole class of bijective cellular automata should no longer be considered to be reversible in a physical sense. Note that the same two-layered block representation result applies also over infinite configurations, as was previously shown for one-dimensional systems in the more elaborate formalism of operators algebras [9]. Here the proof is made simpler and self-contained, moreover we discuss a counterexample QCA in higher dimensions.

description: As the size of software systems increases, the algorithms and data structures of the computation no longer constitute the major design problems. When systems are constructed from many components, the organization of the overall system—the software architecture—presents a new set of design problems. This level of design has been addressed in a number of ways including informal diagrams and descriptive terms, module interconnection languages, templates and frameworks for systems that serve the needs of specific domains, and formal models of component integration mechanisms. In this paper we provide an introduction to the emerging field of software architecture. We begin by considering a number of common architectural styles upon which many systems are currently based and show how different styles can be combined in a single design. Then we present six case studies to illustrate how architectural representations can improve our understanding of complex software systems. Finally, we survey some of the outstanding problems in the field, and consider a few of the promising research directions.
Affordable Alternative? Investigating The Use of Camel's Milk as an Adjunctive Therapy for Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

description: Globally, there are approximately 415 million people suffering from diabetes. A significant portion of these individuals require insulin for primary treatment. As the prevalence of diabetes increases, especially in developing countries, there is need for less expensive therapies. As insulin is one of the most expensive liquids in the world, decreasing its demand in impoverished areas is crucial for lowering the levels of morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this structured review was to assess the correlation between drinking camel’s milk and decreased need for exogenous insulin for diabetes management. From our review of the University of Ottawa’s online library database, 5 relevant studies were found. These studies showed a significant correlation between the intake of camel’s milk and the reduction in need of exogenous insulin. From the gathered research, the derived conclusion is that camel’s milk as an adjunctive therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes significantly reduces the required volume of insulin and is a possible method of reducing management costs for diabetics.

description: One of the ways Large Language Models (LLMs) are used to perform machine learning tasks is to provide them with a few examples before asking them to produce a prediction. This is a meta-learning process known as few-shot learning. In this paper, we use available Search-Based methods to optimise the number and combination of examples that can improve an LLM's estimation performance, when it is used to estimate story points for new agile tasks. Our preliminary results show that our SBSE technique improves the estimation performance of the LLM by 59.34% on average (in terms of mean absolute error of the estimation) over three datasets against a zero-shot setting.

description: Abstract: "This report provides a complete exposition of the main proof in Johan Ha╠èstad's thesis [Ha╠ès87]. The result gives a lower bound on the size of certain Boolean circuits computing the PARITY function, and it implies that [formula]. Every effort has been made to make the proof understandable for someone with no background in the area of theoretical circuit complexity. To that end, the report begins by introducing the basic definitions and classes of the field. The proof is then motivated by a section explaining why circuits are of interest to theoretical computer scientists. Before stating and proving Ha╠èstad's result, some preliminary concepts are presented.These ideas are the b╠Çuilding blocks' of the proof itself. A brief history of related result is given. Then, an intuitive description of the proof and a r╠Çoad map' of its structure (which has several levels and branches) are presented to provide an overall gist of what is going on behind the formal mathematics which follow. The heart of the proof is the so-called S╠Çwitching Lemma', which is given considerableattention. The main result and a corollary are then stated and proven."

description: Program text is rendered using impoverished typographic styles. Beyond choice of fonts and syntax-highlighting colors, code editors and related tools utilize very few text decorations. These limited styles are, furthermore, applied in monolithic fashion, regardless of the programs and tasks at hand.
 We present the notion of _code style sheets_ for styling program text. Motivated by analogy to cascading style sheets (CSS) for styling HTML documents, code style sheets provide mechanisms for defining rules to select elements from an abstract syntax tree (AST) in order to style their corresponding visual representation. Technically, our selector language generalizes essential constructs from CSS to a programming-language setting with algebraic data types (such as ASTs). Practically, code style sheets allow ASTs to be styled granularly, based on semantic information -- such as the structure of abstract syntax, static type information, and corresponding run-time values -- as well as design choices on the part of authors and readers of a program. Because programs are heavily nested in structure, a key aspect of our design is a layout algorithm that renders nested, multiline text blocks more compactly than in existing box-based layout systems such as HTML.
 In this paper, we design and implement a code style sheets system for a subset of Haskell, using it to illustrate several code presentation and visualization tasks. These examples demonstrate that code style sheets provide a uniform framework for rendering programs in multivarious ways, which could be employed in future designs for text-based as well as structure editors.

description: Ao situarmos a intervenção socioeducativa no quadro teórico do aconselhamento, a qualidade da relação entre o técnico e o cliente emerge como crucial para a eficácia das intervenções. A investigação mostra que, tanto as características do cliente como as do técnico, podem fazer emergir na relação vulnerabilidades que são inevitáveis. Neste artigo, propomo-nos refletir sobre o modo como dimensões encobertas do funcionamento do cliente desencadeiam malentendidos, tensões e mesmo ruturas da relação. Centramo-nos concretamente no impacto dessas dimensões para a adesão e manutenção no processo de intervenção num contexto prisional. Esperamos que uma maior consciência desses eventos aumente a sensibilidade dos profissionais aos indícios dessas vulnerabilidades da relação e que os ajude a promover uma regulação da relação que seja facilitadora do processo de desenvolvimento do cliente. Palavras-chave: Impasses; aconselhamento; intervenção socioeducativa; contexto prisional.
