description: Context. The direct detection of exoplanets with high-contrast imaging requires advanced data processing methods to disentangle potential planetary signals from bright quasi-static speckles. Among them, angular differential imaging (ADI) permits potential planetary signals with a known rotation rate to be separated from instrumental speckles that are either statics or slowly variable. The method presented in this paper, called ANDROMEDA for ANgular Differential OptiMal Exoplanet Detection Algorithm is based on a maximum likelihood approach to ADI and is used to estimate the position and the flux of any point source present in the field of view. Aims. In order to optimize and experimentally validate this previously proposed method, we applied ANDROMEDA to real VLT/NaCo data. In addition to its pure detection capability, we investigated the possibility of defining simple and efficient criteria for automatic point source extraction able to support the processing of large surveys. Methods. To assess the performance of the method, we applied ANDROMEDA on VLT/NaCo data of TYC-8979-1683-1 which is surrounded by numerous bright stars and on which we added synthetic planets of known position and flux in the field. In order to accommodate the real data properties, it was necessary to develop additional pre-processing and post-processing steps to the initially proposed algorithm. We then investigated its skill in the challenging case of a well-known target, $β$ Pictoris, whose companion is close to the detection limit and we compared our results to those obtained by another method based on principal component analysis (PCA). Results. Application on VLT/NaCo data demonstrates the ability of ANDROMEDA to automatically detect and characterize point sources present in the image field. We end up with a robust method bringing consistent results with a sensitivity similar to the recently published algorithms, with only two parameters to be fine tuned. Moreover, the companion flux estimates are not biased by the algorithm parameters and do not require a posteriori corrections. Conclusions. ANDROMEDA is an attractive alternative to current standard image processing methods that can be readily applied to on-sky data.

description: In this paper, we investigate the practical relevance of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) with a special focus on the producing industries and relate them to the current state of academic XAI research. Our findings are based on an extensive series of interviews regarding the role and applicability of XAI along the Machine Learning (ML) lifecycle in current industrial practice and its expected relevance in the future. The interviews were conducted among a great variety of roles and key stakeholders from different industry sectors. On top of that, we outline the state of XAI research by providing a concise review of the relevant literature. This enables us to provide an encompassing overview covering the opinions of the surveyed persons as well as the current state of academic research. By comparing our interview results with the current research approaches we reveal several discrepancies. While a multitude of different XAI approaches exists, most of them are centered around the model evaluation phase and data scientists. Their versatile capabilities for other stages are currently either not sufficiently explored or not popular among practitioners. In line with existing work, our findings also confirm that more efforts are needed to enable also non-expert users' interpretation and understanding of opaque AI models with existing methods and frameworks.

description: We study the time dependence of the generalized complexity of Lovelock black holes using the ``complexity = anything" conjecture, which expands upon the notion of ``complexity = volume" and generates a large class of observables. By applying a specific condition, a more limited class can be chosen, whose time growth is equivalent to a conserved momentum. Specifically, we investigate the numerical full time behavior of complexity time rate, focusing on the second and third orders of Lovelock theory coupled with Maxwell term, incorporating an additional term -- the square of the Weyl tensor of the background spacetime -- into the generalization function. Furthermore, we repeat the analysis for case with three additional scalar terms: the square of Riemann and Ricci tensors, and the Ricci scalar for second-order gravity (Gauss-Bonnet) showing how these terms can affect to multiple asymptotic behavior of time. We study how the phase transition of generalized complexity and its time evolution occur at turning point $(τ_{turning})$ where the maximal generalized volume supersedes another branch. Additionally, we discuss the late time behavior, focusing on proportionality of the complexity time rate to the difference of temperature times entropy at the two horizons ($TS(r_+)-TS(r_-)$) for charged black holes, which can be corrected by generalization function of each radius in generalized case. In this limit, we also explore near singularity structure by approximating spacetime to Kasner metrics and finding possible values of complexity growth rate with different choices of the generalization function.

description: Electroless nickel (Ni) immersion gold (Au), commonly referred to by the acronym ENIG, is the most common protective coating applied on the exposed copper (Cu) traces of printed circuit boards (PCBs). In this work, we elucidate the local corrosion mechanism of the ENIG-Cu system by applying microscopic, surface analysis and electrochemical techniques with high spatial resolution to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex local corrosion mechanism of the ENIG-Cu system. The corrosion initiation is highly localised and associated with pores or micro-defects in the Au layer. The corrosion initiates by the dissolution of the underlying Ni layer, being less noble than Au. The dissolution propagates in lateral and perpendicular directions relative to the surface in an elliptical fashion. With time, the direction of corrosion propagation changes to a predominantly lateral attack of the Ni layer. The corrosion process is governed by the cathode/anode ratio of the Au/Ni galvanic couple.

description: Large Language models (LLMs) have brought about substantial advancements in the field of Question Answering (QA) systems. These models do remarkably well in addressing intricate inquiries in a variety of disciplines. However, because of domain-specific vocabulary, complex technological concepts, and the requirement for exact responses applying LLMs to specialized sectors like telecommunications presents additional obstacles. GPT-3.5 has been used in recent work, to obtain noteworthy accuracy for telecom-related questions in a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) framework. Notwithstanding these developments, the practical use of models such as GPT-3.5 is restricted by their proprietary nature and high computing demands. This paper introduces QMOS, an innovative approach which uses a Question-Masked loss and Option Shuffling trick to enhance the performance of LLMs in answering Multiple-Choice Questions in the telecommunications domain. Our focus was on using opensource, smaller language models (Phi-2 and Falcon-7B) within an enhanced RAG framework. Our multi-faceted approach involves several enhancements to the whole LLM-RAG pipeline of finetuning, retrieval, prompt engineering and inference. Our approaches significantly outperform existing results, achieving accuracy improvements from baselines of 24.70% to 49.30% with Falcon-7B and from 42.07% to 84.65% with Phi-2.
More can be better: An analysis of single mutant fixation probability functions under 2 × 2 games
Creators: name: Pires, Diogo L.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The self-organization of collective behaviour is a topic of interest in numerous research fields, and in its context, evolutionary game theory has proved to be a powerful probing tool. Even though initial evolutionary models with frequency-dependent fitness assumed infinite populations, it has been shown that the stability of a strategy may depend not only on the game's payoff matrix but on the size of a finite population. To perform a systematic analysis of 2x2 games in well-mixed finite populations, we start by proving that 9 of the 24 possible payoff orderings always lead to single mutant fixation probability functions decreasing monotonically with population size as they trivially do under fixed fitness scenarios. However, we observe a diversity of fixation functions with increasing regions under 12 other orderings, which included anti-coordination games (e.g. Hawk-Dove/Snowdrift game), the fixation of unbeatable strategies (e.g. Defectors in the Prisoner’s Dilemma), and the fixation of Stag Hunters under that game (the only exception in coordination games). Fixation functions that increase from a global minimum to a finite asymptotic value are pervasive. These may have been easily concealed by the weak selection limit. We prove under which payoff matrices it is possible to have fixation increasing for the smallest populations and find three different ways this can happen. Finally, we describe two distinct fixation functions having two local extremes and associate them with transitions from ones with one global minimum.

Year: 2020

description: Single-joint measurements of leg extension strength may not reflect the biomechanical and neuromuscular specificity of functional tasks.  The purpose was to determine if multi-joint, leg press assessments of muscle strength is more strongly associated with functional [i.e., stair climb assessment (SC), countermovement vertical jump test (CMJ), and star excursion balance tests (SEBT)] task performance than single-joint measures of leg extension strength. Forty-one participants performed isometric leg extension and leg press strength testing and completed the SC, CMJ, and SEBT.  Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficients showed significant relationships (P < 0.05) between absolute and normalized strength with SC time (r = -0.519 – -0.599) and CMJ height (r = 0.526 – 0.735), average power (r = 0.383 – 0.817), and average velocity (r = 0.428 – 0.451),  but not SEBT distanced reached.  Steiger Z analyses demonstrated no significant difference (P ≤ 0.141) between the relationships of the measures of strength and each respective functional task.

description: It has previously been conjectured that the theory of free fundamental scalars minimally coupled to a Chern Simons gauge field is dual to the theory of critical fundamental fermions minimally coupled to a level rank dual Chern Simons gauge field. In this paper we study RG flows away from these two fixed points by turning on relevant operators. In the t' Hooft large N limit we compute the thermal partition along each of these flows and find a map of parameters under which the two partition functions agree exactly with each other all the way from the UV to the IR. We conjecture that the bosonic and fermionic RG flows are dual to each other under this map of parameters. Our flows can be tuned to end at the gauged critical scalar theory and gauged free fermionic theories respectively. Assuming the validity of our conjecture, this tuned trajectory may be viewed as RG flow from the gauged theory of free bosons to the gauged theory of free fermions.

Simulating the Thermal Evolution of Dark Matter During an Early Matter-Dominated Era
Creators: name: Mace, Charlie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The period between inflation and the onset of Big Bang nucleosynthesis is, in many ways, poorly understood and poorly constrained. In particular, the ramifications of including an early matter-dominated era (EMDE) in this period have not been fully explored. One possible probe of this era is the evolution of dark matter. The precise way in which WIMP dark matter decouples from the relativistic bath has a profound effect on the smallest scale (k_cut) of structure formation, which then influences annihilation signatures that can be observed by Fermi-LAT. There has already been work connecting k_cut to the annihilation signatures, but there is a missing link between fundamental particle physics and k_cut itself. The goal of this work is to begin to close that gap, by connecting dark matter microphysics to k_cut. The thermal evolution of dark matter during radiation domination can be solved analytically, but the inclusion of an EMDE violates key assumptions made in the analytical solution. To understand the effect of an EMDE on the velocity distribution of dark matter, we model the collisions between individual dark matter particles and relativistic leptons. In this work, we use UNC's Longleaf Cluster to evolve an ensemble of 15,000 dark matter particles through both the EMDE and the subsequent transition to radiation domination. We find that the shape of the velocity distribution deviates significantly from the analytical solution and that the new distribution is not well described by the dark matter temperature. This represents a breakdown of the analytical solution for the momentum distribution when decoupling deep in an EMDE, making this numerical simulation necessary in order to calculate k_cut and connect a particular dark matter candidate to observable annihilation signatures.

description: Background: The relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (RHFB) theory has recently been developed and it provides a unified and highly predictive description of both nuclear mean field and pairing correlations. Ground state properties of finite nuclei can accurately be reproduced without neglecting exchange (Fock) contributions. Purpose: Finite-temperature RHFB (FT-RHFB) theory has not yet been developed, leaving yet unknown its predictions for phase transitions and thermal excitations in both stable and weakly bound nuclei. Method: FT-RHFB equations are solved in a Dirac Woods-Saxon (DWS) basis considering two kinds of pairing interactions: finite or zero range. Such a model is appropriate for describing stable as well as loosely bound nuclei since the basis states have correct asymptotic behaviour for large spatial distributions. Results: Systematic FT-RH(F)B calculations are performed for several semi-magic isotopic/isotonic chains comparing the predictions of a large number of Lagrangians, among which are PKA1, PKO1 and DD-ME2. It is found that the critical temperature for a pairing transition generally follows the rule $T_c = 0.60Δ(0)$ for a finite-range pairing force and $T_c = 0.57Δ(0)$ for a contact pairing force, where $Δ(0)$ is the pairing gap at zero temperature. Two types of pairing persistence are analysed: type I pairing persistence occurs in closed subshell nuclei while type II pairing persistence can occur in loosely bound nuclei strongly coupled to the continuum states. Conclusions: This first FT-RHFB calculation shows very interesting features of the pairing correlations at finite temperature and in finite systems such as pairing re-entrance and pairing persistence.

description: The occurrence of non-equilibrium transitions between arrested states has recently emerged as an intriguing issue in the field of soft glassy materials. The existence of one such transition has been suggested for aging colloidal clays (Laponite$^{\circledR}$ suspensions) at weight concentration 3.0%, although further experimental evidences are necessary to validate this scenario. Here, we test the occurrence of this transition for spontaneously aged (non-rejuvenated) samples, by exploiting the rheological tools of Dynamical Mechanical Analysis. On imposing consecutive compression cycles to differently aged clay suspensions, we find that a quite abrupt change of rheological parameters occurs for ages around three days. For the Young and elastic moduli, the change with the waiting time is essentially independent from the deformation rate, whereas other "fluid-like" properties, such as the loss modulus, do clearly display some rate dependence. We also show that the crossover identified by rheology coincides with deviations of the relaxation time (obtained through X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy) from its expected monotonic increase with aging. Thus, our results robustly support the existence of a glass-glass transition in aging colloidal clays, highlighting characteristic features of of their viscoelastic behaviour.

description: Receiver-initiated medium access control protocols for wireless sensor networks are theoretically able to adapt to changing network conditions in a distributed manner. However, existing algorithms rely on fixed beacon rates at each receiver. We present a new received initiated MAC protocol that adapts the beacon rate at each receiver to its actual traffic load. Our proposal uses a computationally inexpensive formula for calculating the optimum beacon rate that minimizes network energy consumption and, so, it can be easily adopted by receivers. Simulation results show that our proposal reduces collisions and diminishes delivery time maintaining a low duty cycle.

VIBRATION-BASED FEEDBACK FOR GAIT TRAINING IN THOSE WITH CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY

description: Vibration based Feedback for Gait Training In Those With Chronic Ankle Instability

Cole Mueller 

Background/ Purpose: 40% of patients with a lateral ankle sprain (LAS), the most common injuries in sport2 and general public4, get diagnosed with chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI is associated with proprioceptive impairments9–10 which may contribute gait changes in CAI subjects. Traditional and novel treatments are ineffective at improving gait deficiencies or are undeployable in the real world. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between baseline proprioception measures and biomechanical changes following a single haptic feedback gait retraining session in those with CAI.  

Methods: Baseline tests include joint positions sense (JPS), monofilament cutaneous sensation, and postural sway. Subjects were fitted with a haptic feedback device, then completed a 14-minute treadmill walking session. The stance phase of the gait cycle was divided into 10 subphases. Spearman's bivariate correlations were run between the baseline proprioception scores and changes in ankle joint position and center of pressure (COP) location for each subphase of gait, with an alpha value set at 0.05.

Results: 
A significant strong negative correlation was found between average JPS error and pre-to-post COP in stance phase 1(r_s= -.964;p<0.01), 2(r_s= -.964;p<0.01), 3(r= -.929;p<0.01), 4(r_s= -.929;p<0.01), 5(r_s= -.929;p<0.01), 6(r_s= -.857;p<0.05), 7(r_s= -.857;p<0.05), 8(r_s= -.857;p < 0.05), and 9(r_s= -.857;p<0.05). A positive correlation between JPS average error and pre-to-post frontal foot position was found in stance phase 7(r_s= .893;p<0.01), 8(r_s= .929;p< 0.01), and 9(r_s= .857;p<0.05).
 
Discussion: These results indicate that haptic feedback was less effective at shifting COP medially in CAI subjects with poor joint position sense scores suggesting that a healthier proprioceptive system may be better able to utilize the haptic feedback. However, a larger sample size is necessary to determine the true extent of the relationship.
Reducing Health Information Avoidance by Mental Contrasting

description: Objective: Staying informed on one’s health is critical for positive health outcomes. However, the possibility of receiving bad news leads many people (via both deliberate and automatic processes) to opt out of learning personal health information. The self-regulation exercise of mental contrasting has helped people improve a vast range of behaviors, and this study is the first to test its effectiveness in helping people reduce health information avoidance. We hypothesized that participants who engaged in mental contrasting would be more open to learning their personal melanoma risk than participants who completed a reflection activity. Method: A randomized controlled trial was administered on MTurk (n = 354). Participants completed a mental contrasting exercise or a reflection activity before filling out a melanoma risk calculator. Upon completion of the calculator, they chose whether and how much information they would like to learn about their melanoma risk. Results: Chi-square testing indicated that mental contrasting was effective in decreasing melanoma risk avoidance. Conclusion: As a brief and engaging method of reducing health information avoidance, mental contrasting may be useful in real health settings.

description: Prior studies on mobile app analysis often analyze apps across different categories or focus on a small set of apps within a category. These studies either provide general insights for an entire app store which consists of millions of apps, or provide specific insights for a small set of apps. However, a single app category can often contain tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of apps. For example, according to AppBrain, there are 46,625 apps in the "Sports" category of Google Play apps. Analyzing such a targeted category of apps can provide more specific insights than analyzing apps across categories while still benefiting many app developers interested in the category. This work aims to study a large number of apps from a single category (i.e., the sports category). We performed an empirical study on over two thousand sports apps in the Google Play Store. We study the characteristics of these apps (e.g., their targeted sports types and main functionalities) through manual analysis, the topics in the user review through topic modeling, as well as the aspects that contribute to the negative opinions of users through analysis of user ratings and sentiment. It is concluded that analyzing a targeted category of apps (e.g., sports apps) can provide more specific insights than analyzing apps across different categories while still being relevant for a large number (e.g., tens of thousands) of apps. Besides, as a rapid-growing and competitive market, sports apps provide rich opportunities for future research, for example, to study the integration of data science or machine learning techniques in software applications or to study the factors that influence the competitiveness of the apps.

description: We introduce an event-by-event perturbative-QCD + saturation + hydro ("EKRT") framework for ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, where we compute the produced fluctuating QCD-matter energy densities from next-to-leading order perturbative QCD using a saturation conjecture to control soft particle production, and describe the space-time evolution of the QCD matter with dissipative fluid dynamics, event by event. We perform a simultaneous comparison of the centrality dependence of hadronic multiplicities, transverse momentum spectra, and flow coefficients of the azimuth-angle asymmetries, against the LHC and RHIC measurements. We compare also the computed event-by-event probability distributions of relative fluctuations of elliptic flow, and event-plane angle correlations, with the experimental data from Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. We show how such a systematic multi-energy and multi-observable analysis tests the initial state calculation and the applicability region of hydrodynamics, and in particular how it constrains the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity-to-entropy ratio of QCD matter in its different phases in a remarkably consistent manner.

description: In this paper, we present a new experimental progress in brief on the recent observation of the charged charmonium-like state Z_c(4020)^{+/-} states and its iso-spin partner Z_c(4020)^{0} in pi pi hc process at the BESIII experiment. The charged Z_{c}(4020) is its decay into π^{+/-} hc final state, and carries electric charge, thus it contains at least four quarks. The observation of both charge and neutral state makes Z_{c}(4020) the first iso-spin triplet Z_{c} state observed in experiment.

description: "Committing Acts of Love" is a collection of short stories exploring the way we behave and the things we are willing to sacrifice in times of family crisis. Many of the stories focus on the very real world of poverty and addiction in America, through the lens of my childhood experiences. The collection was written during one period of uncertainty (what am I going to do when I graduate?) and revised in wholly another: the COVID-19 outbreak. In the midst of a global crisis, my stories try to make sense of crises within the home.

description: In this work we used a series of open clusters and associations observed by the Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) to study the use of lithium abundances (Li I spectral line at 6708 Å) as an age indicator for pre- and main-sequence FGKM late-type stars. Previous studies of open clusters have shown that lithium depletion is not only strongly age dependent, but also shows a complex pattern with several other parameters, such as rotation, chromospheric activity and metallicity. Using the available data from both GES iDR6 and Gaia EDR3, we performed a thorough membership analysis and obtained lists of candidate members for 42 open clusters, ranging in age from 1-3 Myr to 4.5 Gyr. We then conducted a comparative study that allowed us to quantify the observable lithium dispersion in each cluster and study the influence of rotation, activity and metallicity in the lithium dispersion of the selected candidates. All this allowed us to calibrate a Li-age relation and create empirical lithium envelopes for key ages in our sample, also constraining the LDB for those clusters in the 15-600 Myr age range.

Solar Neutrinos and the Strongest Oscillation Constraints on Scalar NSI

description: Scalar non-standard neutrino interactions (sNSI) is a scenario where neutrinos can develop a medium dependent contribution to their mass due to a new scalar mediator. This scenario differs from the commonly discussed vector mediator case in that the oscillation effect scales with density rather than density and neutrino energy. Thus the strongest oscillation constraint comes from solar neutrinos which experience the largest density in a neutrino oscillation experiment. We derive constraints on all the sNSI parameters as well as the absolute neutrino mass scale by combining solar and reactor data and find solar neutrinos to be $>1$ order of magnitude more sensitive to sNSI than terrestrial probes such as long-baseline experiments.
