description: Although community detection has drawn tremendous amount of attention across the sciences in the past decades, no formal consensus has been reached on the very nature of what qualifies a community as such. In this article we take an orthogonal approach by introducing a novel point of view to the problem of overlapping communities. Instead of quantifying the quality of a set of communities, we choose to focus on the intrinsic community-ness of one given set of nodes. To do so, we propose a general metric on graphs, the cohesion, based on counting triangles and inspired by well established sociological considerations. The model has been validated through a large-scale online experiment called Fellows in which users were able to compute their social groups on Face- book and rate the quality of the obtained groups. By observing those ratings in relation to the cohesion we assess that the cohesion is a strong indicator of users subjective perception of the community-ness of a set of people.

description: The assurance of quality of service properties is an important aspect of service-oriented software engineering. Notations for so-called service level agreements (SLAs), such as the Web Service Level Agreement (WSLA) language, provide a formal syntax to specify such assurances in terms of (legally binding) contracts between a service provider and a customer. On the other hand, formal methods for verification of probabilistic real-time behavior have reached a level of expressiveness and efficiency which allows to apply them in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we suggest to employ the recently introduced model of Interval Probabilistic Timed Automata (IPTA) for formal verification of QoS properties of service-oriented systems. Specifically, we show that IPTA in contrast to Probabilistic Timed Automata (PTA) are able to capture the guarantees specified in SLAs directly. A particular challenge in the analysis of IPTA is the fact that their naive semantics usually yields an infinite set of states and infinitely-branching transitions. However, using symbolic representations, IPTA can be analyzed rather efficiently. We have developed the first implementation of an IPTA model checker by extending the PRISM tool and show that model checking IPTA is only slightly more expensive than model checking comparable PTA.

A New Low-Complexity Decodable Rate-1 Full-Diversity 4 x 4 STBC with Nonvanishing Determinants

description: Space-time coding techniques have become common-place in wireless communication standards as they provide an effective way to mitigate the fading phenomena inherent in wireless channels. However, the use of Space-Time Block Codes (STBCs) increases significantly the optimal detection complexity at the receiver unless the low complexity decodability property is taken into consideration in the STBC design. In this letter we propose a new low-complexity decodable rate-1 full-diversity 4 x 4 STBC. We provide an analytical proof that the proposed code has the Non-Vanishing-Determinant (NVD) property, a property that can be exploited through the use of adaptive modulation which changes the transmission rate according to the wireless channel quality. We compare the proposed code to existing low-complexity decodable rate-1 full-diversity 4 x 4 STBCs in terms of performance over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels, detection complexity and Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Our code is found to provide the best performance and the smallest PAPR which is that of the used QAM constellation at the expense of a slight increase in detection complexity w.r.t. certain previous codes but this will only penalize the proposed code for high-order QAM constellations.

description: Boron (B)/phosphorus (P) doped single wall carbon nanotubes (B-PSWNTs) are studied by using the First- Principle method based on density function theory (DFT). Mayer bond order, band structure, electrons density and density of states are calculated. It concludes that the B-PSWNTs have special band structure which is quite different from BN nanotubes, and that metallic carbon nanotubes will be converted to semiconductor due to boron/phosphorus co-doping which breaks the symmetrical structure. The bonding forms in B-PSWNTs are investigated in detail. Besides, Mulliken charge population and the quantum conductance are also calculated to study the quantum transport characteristics of B-PSWNT hetero-junction. It is found that the position of p-n junction in this hetero-junction will be changed as the applied electric field increase and it performs the characteristics of diode.

description: A controlling factor in the seasonal and climatological evolution of the sea ice cover is its albedo $α$. Here we analyze Arctic data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Polar Pathfinder and assess the seasonality and variability of broadband albedo from a 23 year daily record. We produce a histogram of daily albedo over ice covered regions in which the principal albedo transitions are seen; high albedo in late winter and spring, the onset of snow melt and melt pond formation in the summer, and fall freeze up. The bimodal late summer distribution demonstrates the combination of the poleward progression of the onset of melt with the coexistence of perennial bare ice with melt ponds and open water, which then merge to a broad peak at $α\gtrsim $ 0.5. We find the interannual variability to be dominated by the low end of the $α$ distribution, highlighting the controlling influence of the ice thickness distribution and large-scale ice edge dynamics. The statistics obtained provide a simple framework for model studies of albedo parameterizations and sensitivities.

description: The article considers implications of tilt symmetry (symmetry with respect to tilting of the coordinate axis with respect to which vortex motion is studied) in the non-linear dynamics of Kelvin waves. The conclusion is that although the spectrum of Kelvin wave is not tilt-invariant, this does not compromise tilt invariance of the Kelvin-wave cascade vividly argued now in the theory of superfluid turbulence. The article investigates the effect of strong kelvon interaction on the power-law exponent for the Kelvin-wave cascade and suggests a simple picture of the crossover from the classical Kolmogorov cascade to the quantum Kelvin-wave cascade, which does not encounter with mismatch of the energy distributions at the crossover and does not require a broad intermediate interval for realization of the crossover.

description: We study the step bunching process in three different 1D step flow models and obtain scaling relations for the step bunches formed in the long times limit. The first one was introduced by S.Stoyanov [Jap. J.Appl. Phys. 29, (1990) L659] as the simplest 'realistic' model of step bunching due to drift of the adatoms. Here we show that it could lead to (at least) two different types of step bunching, depending on the magnitude of the drift. The other two models are minimal models: the equations for step velocity are constructed ad hoc from two terms with opposite effects - destabilizing and, respectively, stabilizing the regular step train.

A Probabilistic Temporal Logic with Frequency Operators and Its Model Checking

description: Probabilistic Computation Tree Logic (PCTL) and Continuous Stochastic Logic (CSL) are often used to describe specifications of probabilistic properties for discrete time and continuous time, respectively. In PCTL and CSL, the possibility of executions satisfying some temporal properties can be quantitatively represented by the probabilistic extension of the path quantifiers in their basic Computation Tree Logic (CTL), however, path formulae of them are expressed via the same operators in CTL. For this reason, both of them cannot represent formulae with quantitative temporal properties, such as those of the form "some properties hold to more than 80% of time points (in a certain bounded interval) on the path." In this paper, we introduce a new temporal operator which expressed the notion of frequency of events, and define probabilistic frequency temporal logic (PFTL) based on CTL\star. As a result, we can easily represent the temporal properties of behavior in probabilistic systems. However, it is difficult to develop a model checker for the full PFTL, due to rich expressiveness. Accordingly, we develop a model-checking algorithm for the CTL-like fragment of PFTL against finite-state Markov chains, and an approximate model-checking algorithm for the bounded Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) -like fragment of PFTL against countable-state Markov chains.

Oscillation threshold of a clarinet model: a numerical continuation approach

description: This paper focuses on the oscillation threshold of single reed instruments. Several characteristics such as blowing pressure at threshold, regime selection, and playing frequency are known to change radically when taking into account the reed dynamics and the flow induced by the reed motion. Previous works have shown interesting tendencies, using analytical expressions with simplified models. In the present study, a more elaborated physical model is considered. The influence of several parameters, depending on the reed properties, the design of the instrument or the control operated by the player, are studied. Previous results on the influence of the reed resonance frequency are confirmed. New results concerning the simultaneous influence of two model parameters on oscillation threshold, regime selection and playing frequency are presented and discussed. The authors use a numerical continuation approach. Numerical continuation consists in following a given solution of a set of equations when a parameter varies. Considering the instrument as a dynamical system, the oscillation threshold problem is formulated as a path following of Hopf bifurcations, generalizing the usual approach of the characteristic equation, as used in previous works. The proposed numerical approach proves to be useful for the study of musical instruments. It is complementary to analytical analysis and direct time-domain or frequency-domain simulations since it allows to derive information that is hardly reachable through simulation, without the approximations needed for analytical approach.

description: Molecular study is important to detect variations and similarities among species from the same genus, in case if they do not encompass any morphological or physiological differences. The study was conducted to differentiate among species of Meretrix spp. (Meretrix lyrata, M. meretrix, and M. lusoria) obtained from two locations in Malaysia through the phylogenetic tree. The adductor muscle tissues were used to extract DNA and to perform other procedures; the samples were subjected to analyses using PCR and gel electrophoresis. The multiple sequence comparison was conducted by MUSCLE and the phylogenetic relationships were established using Maximum Likelihood (ML) statistical methods with MEGA 6.0 statistical software. M. lyrata samples showed 99% similarity to the three accessions sequence, where M. lyrata indicated 87% similarities, and M. meretrix showed not more than 89% similarities from the deposited sequence. The nucleotide base composition sequences consisted of the mean of Thiamine (T) 37.9%, Cytosine (C) 15.4%, Adenine (A) 27.4%, and Guanine (G) 19.4%. Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis was conducted using the Tamura 3-parameter model to establish five major clades on Meretrix spp. and two out-groups clades significantly different from the Meretrix spp. These major clades were closely related to each other at the 50% evidence of bootstrap, which grouped as genus Meretrix. The present study on Meretrix spp. from the Sarawak locality was able to differentiate COI sequences between M. lyrata, M. meretrix, and M. lusoria. M. lusoria was close related to M. meretrix with strong bootstrap supporting evidence at 96% scoring. Moreover, M. lyrata was inferred as the ancestor to M. meretrix, and M. lusoria from Sarawak, Malaysia.

description: The use of aluminum alloys for light-weighting purposes in energy absorbing components of automobiles is hindered by the relatively low ductility and more complicated constitutive behavior of these alloys. This study presents results from series of quasi-static and dynamic axial crushing experiments on extruded Al-6061-T6 circular tubes of varying D/t ratios. A custom drop-weight testing facility was used to perform the dynamic experiments. Crushing led to axisymmetric, mode-2, and mode-3 concertina folding. In the quasi-static experiments, the folding was monitored using time-lapse photography; dynamic crushing was monitored using high-speed photography. The crushing responses and energy absorption capacities are evaluated and failures were recorded. Failure was observed in most of the experiments with the severity depending on the D/t and mode of folding. The experiments are simulated with three-dimensional, nonlinear finite element analysis using the von Mises, the non-quadratic Hosford, and the calibrated anisotropic Yld04-3D models. The Yld04-3D model was found to most accurately reproduce the structural response under both quasi-static and dynamic loadings. This model was used to the monitor the strains induced in two example cases: axisymmetric folding under quasi-static loading, and mode-2 folding under dynamic loading. The analysis predicted maximum strains to develop at locations on the model tube where failure is observed on the specimen in the experiments. It is concluded that the Yld04-3D constitutive model is most suitable for the prediction of the structural response and failure in tube crushing of this aluminum alloy.

Atoms falling through whispering-gallery modes can achieve strong, coherent coupling with the cavity at distances of approximately 100 nanometers from the surface; in this regime, surface-induced Casmir-Polder level shifts become significant for atomic motion and detection. Atomic transit events detected in recent experiments are analyzed with our simulation, which is extended to consider atom trapping in the evanescent field of a microtoroid.

Both calculations lead to very similar results, suggesting that the coupled theory approaches a non-trivial fixed point in the ultraviolet.

description: The Fokker-Planck equations describe time evolution of probability densities of stochastic dynamical systems and are thus widely used to quantify random phenomena such as uncertainty propagation. For dynamical systems driven by non-Gaussian Lévy processes, however, it is difficult to obtain explicit forms of Fokker-Planck equations because the adjoint operators of the associated infinitesimal generators usually do not have exact formulation. In the present paper, Fokker- Planck equations are derived in terms of infinite series for nonlinear stochastic differential equations with non-Gaussian Lévy processes. A few examples are presented to illustrate the method.

description: The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, 1992, calls on all parties to conserve biological diversity and to ensure that the use of biological diversity is sustainable. Article 8 provides for the conservation of biological diversity through the protection of ecosystems, wild species and genetic diversity in their natural surroundings. The Convention requires the parties to establish protected areas and protect threatened species and populations. This thesis infers that protected areas and protection of species strategies for the conservation of biological diversity have to be focused on conserving ecosystems, natural habitats and the maintenance and recovery of viable population of species and genetic diversity. Management plans play an important role in achieving these objectives. Ultimately the thesis asserts that the public in general and local communities in particular, have a significant role to play in the success of in situ conservation of biological diversity especially in developing countries in Africa.

description: In this Letter we report a simulation study in which we compare the solid-liquid interfacial free energy of NaCl at coexistence, with the value that follows from the height of the homogeneous nucleation barrier. We find that the two estimates differ by more than 100%. Similar, although smaller discrepancies are found for crystals of hard-sphere colloids and of Lennard-Jones ("argon") particles. We consider a variety of possible causes for this discrepancy and are forced to conclude that it is due to a finite-size effect that cannot be corrected for by any simple thermodynamic procedure. Importantly, we find that the surface free energies that follow from real nucleation experiments should be subject to large finite size effects. Taking this in to account, we obtain quantitative agreement between the simulation data and the surface free energy of NaCl that follows from nucleation experiments. Our finding suggests that most published solid-liquid surface free energies derived from nucleation experiments will have to be revised.

description: In recent years, the BCFW construction provided a very powerful tool for computing scattering amplitudes as well as it shed light on the perturbation theory structure. In this talk, we discuss the long-standing issue of the boundary term arising when the amplitudes do not vanish as some momenta are taken to infinity along some complex direction. In particular, we provide a new set of on-shell recursion relations valid for such theories and discuss its consequences on our understanding on the perturbation theory structure of the S-Matrix.

description: Excerpts from the report: Retail florists occupy a unique position in the business world. The products and services they sell fulfill a social rather than physical need. Floral products can be used to convey not only sympathy, respect, and gratitude, but many other human feelings that are difficult for people to express any other way. In the United States, retail florists represent a billion dollar industry. Through their sales and extensive services, florists have made important contributions to the American economy and to U.S. agriculture. In 1964, this industry provided full-time employment for nearly 100,000 persons, and represented the major outlet for over 20,000 growers of floral products. This publication has been designed to supply the retail florist with information necessary for evaluation of his operations.
An analytical portrait of a program for the musically talented

description: This thesis reports the results of a qualitative case study of a program for the musically talented, which was conducted in order to elucidate the role of the institutional program in the development of musical talent. The subjects were the students of the 1994 -1995 cohort of the Mount Royal College Junior Academy in Calgary, Alberta, their parents, teachers and administrators. Semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and researcher observations were used to collect the data, which included perceptions and observations of the program. Data analysis revealed a strong positive role for the Junior Academy, whose benefits derived from three principle sources within the program; the musical peer group, the performance opportunities and the program structure. Findings concur with the literature regarding the importance of excellent teaching, goal-oriented practicing, and strong, continuous motivation. In addition to these, the program provides numerous performance opportunities, creating a unique combination that strongly promotes talent development.

description: We perform cosmological perturbation theory in Hassan-Rosen bimetric gravity for general homogeneous and isotropic backgrounds. In the de Sitter approximation, we obtain decoupled sets of massless and massive scalar gravitational fluctuations. Matter perturbations then evolve like in Einstein gravity. We perturb the future de Sitter regime by the ratio of matter to dark energy, producing quasi-de Sitter space. In this more general setting the massive and massless fluctuations mix. We argue that in the quasi-de Sitter regime, the growth of structure in bimetric gravity differs from that of Einstein gravity.

Quantum collapse in ground-state Fermi-Dirac-Landau plasmas

description: It is revealed that in a relativistically degenerate dense highly-magnetized electron-ion plasma the effective quantum-potential due to the total quantum-force acting on fermions may cancel-out causing a quantum transverse collapse in the ground-state Fermi-Dirac-Landau (GSFDL) plasma. The condition for the plasma transverse collapse is found to be restricted to the minimum relativistic degeneracy parameter and minimum impressed magnetic field strength values satisfied for many superdense astrophysical objects such as white dwarfs and neutron stars. In such plasmas, the magnetization pressure is shown to cancel the lateral electron degeneracy pressure counteracting the existing gravitational pressure. Furthermore, using the Sagdeev pseudopotential method in the framework of quantum magnetohydrodynamics (QMHD) model including spin magnetization it is confirmed that the quantum pressure due to spin-orbit polarization and the electron relativistic degeneracy has significant effects on the existence criteria and the propagation of localized magnetosonic density excitations in GSFDL plasmas. Current findings can have important implications for the density excitations mechanism and gravitational collapse of the highly magnetized astrophysical relativistically dense objects such as white-dwarfs, neutron stars, magnetars and pulsars.

description: We report measurements of the short-range forces between two macroscopic gold-coated plates using a torsion pendulum. The force is measured for separations between 0.7 $μ$m and 7 $μ$m, and is well described by a combination of the Casimir force, including the finite-temperature correction, and an electrostatic force due to patch potentials on the plate surfaces. We use our data to place constraints on the Yukawa-type "new" forces predicted by theories with extra dimensions. We establish a new best bound for force ranges 0.4 $μ$m to 4 $μ$m, and, for forces mediated by gauge bosons propagating in $(4+n)$ dimensions and coupling to the baryon number, extract a $(4+n)$-dimensional Planck scale lower limit of $M_*>70$ TeV.

description: Most genomes are populated by hundreds of thousands of sequences originated from mobile elements. On the one hand, these sequences present a real challenge in the process of genome analysis and annotation. On the other hand, they are very interesting biological subjects involved in many cellular processes. Here we present an overview of transposable elements biodiversity, and we discuss different approaches to transposable elements detection and analyses.
