description: We analyze the problem of eliminating finite-size errors from quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) energy data. We demonstrate that both (i) adding a recently proposed [S. Chiesa et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 076404 (2006)] finite-size correction to the Ewald energy and (ii) using the model periodic Coulomb (MPC) interaction [L. M. Fraser et al., Phys. Rev. B 53, 1814 (1996); P. R. C. Kent et al., Phys. Rev. B 59, 1917 (1999); A. J. Williamson et al., Phys. Rev. B 55, 4851 (1997)] are good solutions to the problem of removing finite-size effects from the interaction energy in cubic systems, provided the exchange-correlation (XC) hole has converged with respect to system size. However, we find that the MPC interaction distorts the XC hole in finite systems, implying that the Ewald interaction should be used to generate the configuration distribution. The finite-size correction of Chiesa et al. is shown to be incomplete in systems of low symmetry. Beyond-leading-order corrections to the kinetic energy are found to be necessary at intermediate and high densities, and we investigate the effect of adding such corrections to QMC data for the homogeneous electron gas. We analyze finite-size errors in two-dimensional systems and show that the leading-order behavior differs from that which has hitherto been supposed. We compare the efficiency of different twist-averaging methods for reducing single-particle finite-size errors and we examine the performance of various finite-size extrapolation formulas. Finally, we investigate the system-size scaling of biases in diffusion QMC.

description: In a previous paper we investigate a Lagrangian field theory for the gravitational field (which is there represented by a section g^a of the orthonormal coframe bundle over Minkowski spacetime. Such theory, under appropriate conditions, has been proved to be equivalent to a Lorentzian spacetime structure, where the metric tensor satisfies Einstein field equations. Here, we first recall that according to quantum field theory ideas gravitation is described by a Lagrangian theory of a possible massive graviton field (generated by matter fields and coupling also to itself) living in Minkowski spacetime. The graviton field is moreover supposed to be represented by a symmetric tensor field h carrying the representations of spin two and zero of the Lorentz group. Such a field, then (as it is well known), must necessarily satisfy the gauge condition given by Eq.(3) below. Next, we introduce an ansatz relating h to the 1-form fields g^a. Then, using the Clifford bundle formalism we derive, from our Lagrangian theory, the exact wave equation for the graviton and investigate the role of the gauge condition given by Eq.(3) in obtaining a reliable conservation law for the energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational plus the matter fields in Minkowski spacetime. Finally we ask the question: does Eq.(3) fix any gauge condition for the field g of the effective Lorentzian spacetime structure that represents the field h in our theory? We show that no gauge condition is fixed a priory, as is the case in General Relativity. Moreover we investigate under which conditions we may fix Logunov gauge condition.

Phantom dark energy and cosmological solutions without the Big Bang singularity
Creators: name: Baushev, Anton
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The hypothesis is rapidly gaining popularity that the dark energy pervading our universe is extra-repulsive ($-p>ρ$). The density of such a substance(usually called phantom energy) grows with the cosmological expansion and may become infinite in a finite time producing a Big Rip. In this Letter we analyze the late stages of the universe evolution and demonstrate that the presence of the phantom energy in the universe is not enough in itself to produce the Big Rip. This singularity occurrence requires the fulfillment of some additional, rather strong conditions. A more probable outcome of the cosmological evolution is the decay of the phantom field into 'normal' matter. The second, more intriguing consequence of the presence of the phantom field is the possibility to introduce a cosmological scenario that does not contain a Big Bang. In the framework of this model the universe eternally expands, while its density and other physical parameters oscillate over a wide range, never reaching the Plank values. Thus, the universe evolution has no singularities at all.

description: We show a new and constructive proof of the following language-theoretic result: for every context-free language L, there is a bounded context-free language L' included in L which has the same Parikh (commutative) image as L. Bounded languages, introduced by Ginsburg and Spanier, are subsets of regular languages of the form w1*w2*...wk* for some finite words w1,...,wk. In particular bounded subsets of context-free languages have nice structural and decidability properties. Our proof proceeds in two parts. First, using Newton's iterations on the language semiring, we construct a context-free subset Ls of L that can be represented as a sequence of substitutions on a linear language and has the same Parikh image as L. Second, we inductively construct a Parikh-equivalent bounded context-free subset of Ls. We show two applications of this result in model checking: to underapproximate the reachable state space of multithreaded procedural programs and to underapproximate the reachable state space of recursive counter programs. The bounded language constructed above provides a decidable underapproximation for the original problems. By iterating the construction, we get a semi-algorithm for the original problems that constructs a sequence of underapproximations such that no two underapproximations of the sequence can be compared. This provides a progress guarantee: every word w in L is in some underapproximation of the sequence. In addition, we show that our approach subsumes context-bounded reachability for multithreaded programs.

description: We present a quantum field theoretical approach based on the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann reduction for the multi-photon scattering process in a nano-architecture consisting of the coupled resonator arrays (CRA), which are also coupled to some artificial atoms as the controlling quantum node. By making use of this approach, we find the bound states of single photon for an elementary unit, the T-type CRA, and explicitly obtain its multi-photon scattering S-matrix in various situations. We also use this method to calculate the multi-photon S-matrices for the more complex quantum network constructed with main T-type CRA's, such as a H-type CRA waveguide.

Periods of the Long-Term Variability of the Blazar 0716+714 and Their Inter-Correlations in a Helical Jet Model
Creators: name: Butuzova, Marina S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Various quasi-periods for the long-term variability of the radio emission, optical emission, and structural position angle of the inner part of the parsec-scale jet in the blazar 0716+714 have been detected. The relationships between these quasi-periods are interpreted assuming that the variability arises due to a helical structure of the jet, which is preserved from regions near the jet base to at least 1 milliarcsecond from the core observed in radio interferometric observations. The radiating jet components should display radial motions with Lorentz factors of $\approx3$, and decelerate with distance from the jet base. The best agreement with the data is given in the case of non-radial motions of these components with a constant physical speed. It is also shown that the helical shape of the jet strongly influences correlations both between fluxes observed in different spectral ranges and between the flux and position angle of the inner part of the parsec-scale jet.

description: The demand of minimally processed fruits and vegetables has increased in the last years. However, their intrinsic characteristics may favor the growth of pathogens and spoilage microbiota. The negative effects on human health reported for some traditional chemical sanitizers have justified the search for substitutes to guarantee food safety and quality. In this work we have evaluate the potential of some essential oils and their components to improve the safety and the shelf life of Lamb’s lettuce (Valerianella locusta) and apples (Golden delicious). Moreover, the effects of selected lactic acid bacteria alone or in combination with essential oils or their components, on the shelf-life and safety as well as organoleptic properties of minimally processed products, were evaluated. Since the lack of knowledge of microbial cell targets of essential oils represent one of the most important limit to the use of these molecules at industrial level, another aim of this thesis was the study of the action mechanisms of essential oils and their components. The results obtained showed the beneficial effects of the natural antimicrobials as well as the selected lactic acid bacteria on minimally processed fruit and vegetable safety and shelf-life, without detrimental effects on the quality parameters. The beneficial effects obtained by the use of the selected biocontrol agents were further increased combining them with selected natural antimicrobials. The natural antimicrobial employed induced noticeable modifications of membrane fatty acid profiles and volatile compounds produced by microbial cells during the growth. The modification of the expression in genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis suggesting that the cytoplasmic membrane of microbial cells is one of the major cellular target of essential oils and their components. The comprehension of microbial stress response mechanisms can contribute to the scaling up of natural antimicrobials and bio-control agents at industrial level.

A fit of experimental p-V data by third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yielded the bulk moduli of 155(2) GPa for B$_{12}$Se and 144(3) GPa for B$_6$Se. No pressure-induced phase transitions have been observed in the studied pressure range, i.e., up to 35 GPa.

Bank and slope morphology as an indicator of Arctic terrain stability : (field studies along the rivers and coasts of Banks Island, N.W.T.)
Creators: name: Miles, Michael J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Field studies were undertaken on Banks Island, N.W.T., to investigate the. feasibility of using bank or slope morphology as an indicator of the lateral stability of coastal and riverine areas located in regions of permafrost. The study investigated the material characteristics and naturally occurring erosion rates associated with the range of bank or slope forms occurring within the study area. Morphologic features which were studied included repose banks, solifluction slopes, skin flows, retrogressive thaw flow slides, thermo-erosional niches, organic deposits and deflation features. The investigation indicated that the morphology of a bank or slope composed of unlithified sediments is related to the texture and ice content of the associated materials, and to the relative exposure of the site to fluvial or littoral processes of sediment removal. Each morphologic type was found to have a characteristic range of values for each of these parameters. Material genesis was also an important factor as it affects grain size, topographic position and the availability of pore water. Nivation processes, ice wedges, vegetation cover and eolian processes were observed to modify morphology in varying degree. Rates of erosion as determined from field measurements, air photograph interpretation and literature review were found to vary with bank or slope form. Observations on the timing of sediment movement indicate that the peak period of suspended sediment transport occurs during spring snow melt runoff. However sediment production from thermokarst and nivation processes was observed to continue throughout most of the summer. As the post spring peak discharges are generally incompetent to transport this material, significant amounts of within channel sediment storage occur on an annual basis. Thus the seasonal timing of erosion does not directly correspond to the annually observed pattern of suspended sediment transport. The distinctive bank and slope forms identified in this thesis are generally of sufficient size to be identified on existing aerial photography. As each morphologic type was observed to have a typical range in material characteristics and erosion rates, air photograph interpretation of the distribution of these features has practical application in the reconnaissance level analysis of arctic terrain stability.

description: A two-step concept for 3D segmentation on 5 abdominal organs inside volumetric CT images is presented. First each relevant organ's volume of interest is extracted as bounding box. The extracted volume acts as input for a second stage, wherein two compared U-Nets with different architectural dimensions re-construct an organ segmentation as label mask. In this work, we focus on comparing 2D U-Nets vs. 3D U-Net counterparts. Our initial results indicate Dice improvements of about 6\% at maximum. In this study to our surprise, liver and kidneys for instance were tackled significantly better using the faster and GPU-memory saving 2D U-Nets. For other abdominal key organs, there were no significant differences, but we observe highly significant advantages for the 2D U-Net in terms of GPU computational efforts for all organs under study.

description: We consider the question of determining the scaling of the $n^2$-dimensional balanced unicast and the $n 2^n$-dimensional balanced multicast capacity regions of a wireless network with $n$ nodes placed uniformly at random in a square region of area $n$ and communicating over Gaussian fading channels. We identify this scaling of both the balanced unicast and multicast capacity regions in terms of $Θ(n)$, out of $2^n$ total possible, cuts. These cuts only depend on the geometry of the locations of the source nodes and their destination nodes and the traffic demands between them, and thus can be readily evaluated. Our results are constructive and provide optimal (in the scaling sense) communication schemes.

description: In the manganites $RE_{1-x}AE_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ ($RE$ and $AE$ being rare-earth and alkaline-earth elements, respectively) the random distribution of $RE^{3+}$ and $AE^{2+}$ induces random, but correlated, shifts of site energies of charge carriers in the Mn sites. We consider a realistic model of this diagonal disorder, in addition to the double-exchange hopping disorder, and investigate the metal-insulator transition as a function of temperature, across the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic line, and as a function of doping $x$. Contrary to previous results, we find that values of parameters, estimated from the electronic structure of the manganites, are not incompatible with the possibility of a disorder induced metal to insulator transition accompanying the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition at intermediate doping ($x\sim0.2-0.4$). These findings indicate clearly that substitutional disorder has to be considered as an important effect when addressing the colossal magnetoresistance properties of manganites.

description: Let $f:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a real homogeneous polynomial and $S(f)$ be the group of diffeomorphisms $h:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ preserving $f$, i.e. $f \circ h = f$. Denote by $S(f,r)$, $(0\leq r \leq \infty)$, the identity path component of $S(f)$ with respect to the weak Whitney $C^{r}_{W}$-topology. We prove that $S(f,\infty) = \cdots = S(f,1)$ for all such $f$ and that $S(f,1) \not= S(f,0)$ if and only if $f$ is a product of at least two distinct irreducible over $\mathbb{R}$ quadratic forms.

description: Pervasive computing promotes the installation of connected devices in our living spaces in order to provide services. Two major developments have gained significant momentum recently: an advanced use of edge resources and the integration of machine learning techniques for engineering applications. This evolution raises major challenges, in particular related to the appropriate distribution of computing elements along an edge-to-cloud continuum. About this, Federated Learning has been recently proposed for distributed model training in the edge. The principle of this approach is to aggregate models learned on distributed clients in order to obtain a new, more general model. The resulting model is then redistributed to clients for further training. To date, the most popular federated learning algorithm uses coordinate-wise averaging of the model parameters for aggregation. However, it has been shown that this method is not adapted in heterogeneous environments where data is not identically and independently distributed (non-iid). This corresponds directly to some pervasive computing scenarios where heterogeneity of devices and users challenges machine learning with the double objective of generalization and personalization. In this paper, we propose a novel aggregation algorithm, termed FedDist, which is able to modify its model architecture (here, deep neural network) by identifying dissimilarities between specific neurons amongst the clients. This permits to account for clients' specificity without impairing generalization. Furthermore, we define a complete method to evaluate federated learning in a realistic way taking generalization and personalization into account. Using this method, FedDist is extensively tested and compared with three state-of-the-art federated learning algorithms on the pervasive domain of Human Activity Recognition with smartphones.

Representation theory for vector electromagnetic beams

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A representation theory of finite electromagnetic beams in free space is formulated by factorizing the field vector of the plane-wave component into a $3 \times 2$ mapping matrix and a 2-component Jones-like vector. The mapping matrix has one degree of freedom that can be described by the azimuthal angle of a fixed unit vector with respect to the wave vector. This degree of freedom allows us to find out such a beam solution in which every plane-wave component is specified by the same fixed unit vector $\mathbf{I}$ and has the same normalized Jones-like vector. The angle $θ_I$ between the fixed unit vector and the propagation axis acts as a parameter that describes the vectorial property of the beam. The impact of $θ_I$ is investigated on a beam of angular-spectrum field scalar that is independent of the azimuthal angle. The field vector in position space is calculated in the first-order approximation under the paraxial condition. A transverse effect is found that a beam of elliptically-polarized angular spectrum is displaced from the center in the direction that is perpendicular to the plane formed by the fixed unit vector and the propagation axis. The expression of the transverse displacement is obtained. Its paraxial approximation is also given.

Distribution functions for a family of axially symmetric galaxy models

description: We present the derivation of distribution functions for the first four members of a family of disks, previously obtained in (MNRAS, 371, 1873, 2006), which represent a family of axially symmetric galaxy models with finite radius and well behaved surface mass density. In order to do this we employ several approaches that have been developed starting from the potential-density pair and, essentially using the method introduced by Kalnajs (Ap. J., 205, 751, 1976) we obtain some distribution functions that depend on the Jacobi integral. Now, as this method demands that the mass density can be properly expressed as a function of the gravitational potential, we can do this only for the first four discs of the family. We also find another kind of distribution functions by starting with the even part of the previous distribution functions and using the maximum entropy principle in order to find the odd part and so a new distribution function, as it was pointed out by Dejonghe (Phys. Rep., 133, 217, 1986). The result is a wide variety of equilibrium states corresponding to several self-consistent finite flat galaxy models.
