description: Recent trends in deep learning (DL) have made hardware accelerators essential for various high-performance computing (HPC) applications, including image classification, computer vision, and speech recognition. This survey summarizes and classifies the most recent developments in DL accelerators, focusing on their role in meeting the performance demands of HPC applications. We explore cutting-edge approaches to DL acceleration, covering not only GPU- and TPU-based platforms but also specialized hardware such as FPGA- and ASIC-based accelerators, Neural Processing Units, open hardware RISC-V-based accelerators, and co-processors. This survey also describes accelerators leveraging emerging memory technologies and computing paradigms, including 3D-stacked Processor-In-Memory, non-volatile memories like Resistive RAM and Phase Change Memories used for in-memory computing, as well as Neuromorphic Processing Units, and Multi-Chip Module-based accelerators. Furthermore, we provide insights into emerging quantum-based accelerators and photonics. Finally, this survey categorizes the most influential architectures and technologies from recent years, offering readers a comprehensive perspective on the rapidly evolving field of deep learning acceleration.

The role of state education agencies in in-service teacher professional development in technology

subject: Specialist studies in education

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of state education agencies in promoting and supporting in-service teacher professional development in technology within the context of state systemic reforms. Exploratory, qualitative research was conducted using open ended and semi-structured interviewing techniques. Interviews were guided by protocols based on a review of the literature in the following topical areas: teacher professional development, technology, and systemic reform. Studied states were Kentucky and Vermont, and in particular, state directors of technology, directors of in-service teacher education, and local teachers were used as subjects in this study. Interview data were analyzed against a theoretical framework based on the literature review. The biggest finding in Kentucky and Vermont is that technology is increasingly embedded in overall state making for reform. At the state level, policy rhetoric and actions are largely about constructing strategies to convey to districts and schools the importance of technology as a tool to support state reform goals for student learning. Professional development to support teacher and administrator knowledge and skills are beginning to embed technology as a pedagogical tool within standards based curriculum units. While teacher professional development in basic skills is still required in many schools and districts, there are growing dialogues and actions at the top of the two state policy systems to fully integrate technology into standards-based professional development offerings. Technology is beginning to transform from a separate strand of reform, or reform component, to a seamless tool that supports the overall reform goal in both states of high academic performance for all students. Future research should focus on the appropriate role of teacher performance standards in technology among the array of policy instruments used by states to promote and support in-service teacher professional development in technology.

description: Sixty three members of the 100 Myr old open cluster M47 (NGC 2422) have been detected at 24 micron with Spitzer. The Be star V 378 Pup shows an excess both in the near-infrared and at 24 micron (K-[24] = 2.4 mag), probably due to free-free emission from the gaseous envelope. Seven other early-type stars show smaller excesses, K-[24] = 0.6-0.9. Among late-type stars, two show large excesses: P922 - a K1V star with K-[24] = 1.08 pm 0.11 and P1121 - an F9V star with K-[24] = 3.72 pm 0.02. P1121 is the first known main-sequence star showing an excess comparable to that of beta Pic, which may indicate the presence of an exceptionally massive debris disk. It is possible that a major planetesimal collision has occurred in this system, consistent with the few hundred Myr time scales estimated for the clearing of the Solar System.

description: In this paper, in continuation of our work, on the determinants of cubic -matrix of order 2 and order 3, we have analyzed the possibilities of developing the concept of determinant of cubic-matrix with three indexes, studying the possibility of their calculation according the Laplace expansion method's. We have noted that the concept of permutation expansion which is used for square determinants, as well as the concept of Laplace expansion method used for square and rectangular determinants, also can be utilized to be used for this new concept of 3D Determinants. In this paper we proved that the Laplace expansion method's is also valid for cubic-matrix of order 2 and order 3, these results are given clearly and with detailed proofs, they are also accompanied by illustrative examples. We also give an algorithmic presentation for the Laplace expansion method's.

Gas fractions and depletion times in galaxies with different degrees of interaction

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the atomic gas content and the central stellar mass concentration for a sample of almost 1500 nearby galaxies to investigate the nature of starbursts and the influence of galaxy-galaxy interactions on star formation (SF). We used a sample of catalogued interacting and non-interacting galaxies in the S$^4$G survey - along with archival HI gas masses, stellar masses ($M_{\ast}$), and SF rates from $IRAS$ far-infrared fluxes - and calculate depletion times and gas fractions. We traced the central stellar mass concentration from the inner slope of the stellar component of the rotation curves. Starbursts are defined as galaxies with a factor $>4$ enhanced SF rate relative to a control sample of non-interacting galaxies which are $\pm 0.2$ dex in stellar mass and $\pm 1$ in $T$-type. Starbursts are mainly early-type ($T\lesssim 5$), massive spiral galaxies ($M_{\ast}\gtrsim 10^{10}M_{\odot}$) that are not necessarily interacting. For a given stellar mass bin, starbursts are characterised by lower gas depletion times, similar gas fractions, and larger central stellar mass concentrations than non-starburst galaxies. The global distributions of gas fraction and gas depletion time are not statistically different for interacting and non-interacting galaxies. However, in the case of currently merging galaxies, the median gas depletion time is a factor of $0.4 \pm 0.2$ that of control sample galaxies, and their SF rates are a factor of $1.9 \pm 0.5$ enhanced, even though the median gas fraction is similar. Starbursts present long-lasting SF in the circumnuclear regions that causes an enhancement of the central stellar density at $z\approx0$ in both interacting and non-interacting systems. Starbursts have low gas depletion timescales, yet similar gas fractions as normal main-sequence galaxies. Galaxy mergers cause a moderate enhancement of the SF efficiency (Abridged).

description: We consider the vortex structure of a rapidly rotating trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a co-rotating periodic optical lattice potential. We observe a rich variety of structural phases which reflect the interplay of the vortex-vortex and vortex-lattice interactions. The lattice structure is very sensitive to the ratio of vortices to pinning sites and we observe structural phase transitions and domain formation as this ratio is varied.

description: We show that there exists an adjacency labelling scheme for planar graphs where each vertex of an $n$-vertex planar graph $G$ is assigned a $(1+o(1))\log_2 n$-bit label and the labels of two vertices $u$ and $v$ are sufficient to determine if $uv$ is an edge of $G$. This is optimal up to the lower order term and is the first such asymptotically optimal result. An alternative, but equivalent, interpretation of this result is that, for every $n$, there exists a graph $U_n$ with $n^{1+o(1)}$ vertices such that every $n$-vertex planar graph is an induced subgraph of $U_n$. These results generalize to bounded genus graphs, apex-minor-free graphs, bounded-degree graphs from minor closed families, and $k$-planar graphs.

Optimal Mapper for OFDM with Index Modulation: A Spectro-Computational Analysis

description: In this work, we present an optimal mapper for OFDM with index modulation (OFDM-IM). By optimal we mean the mapper achieves the lowest possible asymptotic computational complexity (CC) when the spectral efficiency (SE) gain over OFDM maximizes. We propose the spectro-computational (SC) analysis to capture the trade-off between CC and SE and to demonstrate that an $N$-subcarrier OFDM-IM mapper must run in exact $Θ(N)$ time complexity. We show that an OFDM-IM mapper running faster than such complexity cannot reach the maximal SE whereas one running slower nullifies the mapping throughput for arbitrarily large $N$. We demonstrate our theoretical findings by implementing an open-source library that supports all DSP steps to map/demap an N-subcarrier complex frequency-domain OFDM-IM symbol. Our implementation supports different index selector algorithms and is the first to enable the SE maximization while preserving the same time and space asymptotic complexities of the classic OFDM mapper.

description: Synchronous displays are hallmarks of many animal societies, ranging from the pulsing flashes of fireflies, to military marching in humans. Such displays are known to facilitate mate attraction or signal relationship quality. Across many taxa, synchronous male displays appear to be driven by competition, while synchronous displays in humans are thought to be unique in that they serve a cooperative function. Indeed, it is well established that human synchrony promotes cooperative endeavours and increases success in joint action tasks. We examine another system in which synchrony is tightly linked to cooperative behaviour. Male bottlenose dolphins form long-lasting, multi-level, cooperative alliances in which they engage in coordinated efforts to coerce single oestrus females. Previous work has revealed the importance of motor synchrony in dolphin alliance behaviour. Here, we demonstrate that allied dolphins also engage in acoustic coordination whereby males will actively match the tempo and, in some cases, synchronize the production of their threat vocalization when coercing females. This finding demonstrates that male dolphins are capable of acoustic coordination in a cooperative context and, moreover, suggests that both motor and acoustic coordination are features of coalitionary behaviour that are not limited to humans.
Separation and identification of phenolic derivatives in plant extracts by novel analytical techniques

Year: 2023

description: The pharmacological properties attributed to cassis, juice of the blackcurrant, (Ribes nigrum spp., Saxifragaceae), and the root bark of the osage orange tree (Maclura pomifera Raf., Moracea) can at least be partially attributed to their high content of plant phenolics. Previous studies on these plants were done before the new methods of analysis were available, and modern techniques have now been used to evaluate their phenolic content. Liquid chromatography atmospheric pressure chemical-ionization mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS) was used to analyse the cassis extract. The major anthocyanins and flavonoids present in cassis were identified by their unique APCI mass spectra. A fraction containing only the anthocyanins was also subjected to capillary electrophoresis (CE). Previous published CE methods for the analysis of anthocyamins did not take into account their degradation in non-acidic media. The newly developed method uses buffers at the pH 1.5 with improving stability of the analytes and sensitivity of the method. Two new extraction techniques, namely, superciritcal fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized fluid extraction (PEE), were evaluated to extract plant material. Both methods proved to be as efficient to extract the root bark of the osage orange tree as the traditional extraction procedures. A new flavanone was extracted by SFE, and a possible chemical structure is proposed. LC-APCI-MS was used to analyse extracts from the root bark and fruit of the osage orange tree. The APCI mass spectra permitted the identification of the prenylated xanthones and flavanones present in ether extracts of the root bark. The methanolic extracts of the root bark were also subjected to LC-APCI-MS, and two rare C-glycosyl xanthones were identified. Their complete chemical structures are not known, but some possible structures were proposed. LC-APCI-MS of extracts of the fruit Osage orange tree led to the identification of three new compounds, but their chemical structures were not investigated. There is currently much interest in the study of plant phenolics, and the new analytical methods here proposed are expected to considerably expedite and improve their analysis in plant extracts.

We construct a $2$-parameter family of elliptic curves that can be used to produce examples of pairs $E_1,E_2$ where this image is finite. The family is constructed to guarantee the existence of a rational curve passing through a specified point in the Kummer surface of $E_1\times E_2$.

description: Quasi-static protocols for systems that feature a mixed phase-space with both chaos and quasi-regular regions are beyond the standard paradigm of adiabatic processes. We focus on a many-body system of atoms that are described by the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, specifically a circuit that consists of bosonic sites. We consider a sweep process: slow variation of the rotation frequency of the device (time dependent Sagnac phase). The parametric variation of phase-space topology implies that the quasi-static limit is irreversible. Detailed analysis is essential in order to determine the outcome of such transfer protocol, and its efficiency.

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

description: The pharmacological properties attributed to cassis, juice of the blackcurrant, (Ribes nigrum spp., Saxifragaceae), and the root bark of the osage orange tree (Maclura pomifera Raf., Moracea) can at least be partially attributed to their high content of plant phenolics. Previous studies on these plants were done before the new methods of analysis were available, and modern techniques have now been used to evaluate their phenolic content. Liquid chromatography atmospheric pressure chemical-ionization mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS) was used to analyse the cassis extract. The major anthocyanins and flavonoids present in cassis were identified by their unique APCI mass spectra. A fraction containing only the anthocyanins was also subjected to capillary electrophoresis (CE). Previous published CE methods for the analysis of anthocyamins did not take into account their degradation in non-acidic media. The newly developed method uses buffers at the pH 1.5 with improving stability of the analytes and sensitivity of the method. Two new extraction techniques, namely, superciritcal fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized fluid extraction (PEE), were evaluated to extract plant material. Both methods proved to be as efficient to extract the root bark of the osage orange tree as the traditional extraction procedures. A new flavanone was extracted by SFE, and a possible chemical structure is proposed. LC-APCI-MS was used to analyse extracts from the root bark and fruit of the osage orange tree. The APCI mass spectra permitted the identification of the prenylated xanthones and flavanones present in ether extracts of the root bark. The methanolic extracts of the root bark were also subjected to LC-APCI-MS, and two rare C-glycosyl xanthones were identified. Their complete chemical structures are not known, but some possible structures were proposed. LC-APCI-MS of extracts of the fruit Osage orange tree led to the identification of three new compounds, but their chemical structures were not investigated. There is currently much interest in the study of plant phenolics, and the new analytical methods here proposed are expected to considerably expedite and improve their analysis in plant extracts.

description: Behavior planning and decision-making are some of the biggest challenges for highly automated systems. A fully automated vehicle (AV) is confronted with numerous tactical and strategical choices. Most state-of-the-art AV platforms implement tactical and strategical behavior generation using finite state machines. However, these usually result in poor explainability, maintainability and scalability. Research in robotics has raised many architectures to mitigate these problems, most interestingly behavior-based systems and hybrid derivatives. Inspired by these approaches, we propose a hierarchical behavior-based architecture for tactical and strategical behavior generation in automated driving. It is a generalizing and scalable decision-making framework, utilizing modular behavior blocks to compose more complex behaviors in a bottom-up approach. The system is capable of combining a variety of scenario- and methodology-specific solutions, like POMDPs, RRT* or learning-based behavior, into one understandable and traceable architecture. We extend the hierarchical behavior-based arbitration concept to address scenarios where multiple behavior options are applicable but have no clear priority against each other. Then, we formulate the behavior generation stack for automated driving in urban and highway environments, incorporating parking and emergency behaviors as well. Finally, we illustrate our design in an explanatory evaluation.

description: To explore the connection between same-state ideological distance and representational behavior in the Senate, this dissertation compares the behavior of ideologically divergent senator-pairs with that of ideologically convergent senator-pairs. Based on Heinz Eulau and Paul Karps' conceptualization of representation and inspired by Robert Bernstein's work on same-state Senate pairs, this dissertation examines paired Senate behavior for ten states across three years in the late 1990s. In exploring the paired operations of senators in the areas of roll-call voting, bill sponsorship, interoffice communication on Capitol Hill, travel patterns, casework, and interoffice communication in the home state, this research assesses when the ideological distance between senators from the same state is connected to representation and when it is not. This dissertation finds that same-state ideological distance is most relevant inside the Beltway. The strongest linkages are with roll-call voting. No statistically significant connections exist for bill sponsorship, and the several linkages with interoffice communication on Capitol Hill are modest at best. In some cases, party difference must also be known to assess the full impact of ideological distance. Same-state ideological distance is less relevant outside the Beltway. For travel patterns, what connections might exist turn out to be statistically insignificant. No connection with ideological distance exists for casework, and only a slight linkage exists with interoffice communication in the home state. Thus, the ideological distance between senators from the same state can be an important component in Senate representation, but it is not relevant in many aspects of representation. The paired level of analysis reveals that independent political factors like same-state ideological distance are not always associated with the total representation that constituents receive from their two senators. Despite the presence of some similar and mutually supportive behavior within same-state pairs of senators, the Senate is still primarily an individualist institution where across-the-board alliances do not exist.

description: We present a detailed study of the recently proposed gapless color superconductivity in neutral two-flavor quark matter in beta-equilibrium at zero as well as at finite temperature. We clarify the nature of the fermionic quasiparticles, and discuss the physical properties of this gapless phase of quark matter. The appearance of two "secondary" spin-1 condensates in the gapless ground state is pointed out. The gluon screening properties are also discussed. It is found that finite temperature properties of the gapless color superconductor are rather unusual. One of the most striking results is that the ratio of the critical temperature to the gap at zero temperature is not a universal number. Moreover, this ratio could become arbitrarily large at some values of the coupling constant. In addition, the value of the gap parameter is not a monotonic function of temperature, although the phase transition is a second order phase transition. In an extreme case, in fact, a nonzero finite temperature gap can appear even if its zero temperature value is vanishing.

description: The Blandford-Znajek mechanism is the continuous extraction of energy from a rotating black hole via plasma currents flowing on magnetic field lines threading the horizon. In the discovery paper, Blandford and Znajek demonstrated the mechanism by solving the equations of force-free electrodynamics in a perturbative expansion valid at small black hole spin. Attempts to extend this perturbation analysis to higher order have encountered inconsistencies.We overcome this problem using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, taking care to resolve all of the singular surfaces (light surfaces) in the problem. Working with the monopole field configuration, we show explicitly how the inconsistencies are resolved in this framework and calculate the field configuration to one order higher than previously known. However, there is no correction to the energy extraction rate at this order. These results confirm the basic consistency of the split monopole at small spin and lay a foundation for further perturbative studies of the Blandford-Znajek mechanism.
