description: This study applied a modified deterrence model to evaluate the effectiveness of legitimacy and ethical factors compared to deterrence measures for compliance with mesh size regulation in the Jebel Aulia Reservoir of Sudan. The ordered probit and zero-truncated negative binomial models were employed to examine influences of determining factors on the choice between typologies of violators and non-violators, and then on frequency of violations (extent) respectively. Reported violation rates were high (87.5%), combined with weak enforcement and effective evasion used by almost all (97%) violators, leading to a low probability of detection, as only 28% of violators were caught. This is consistent with widely observed phenomena in developing countries, calling for increased efficacy of detection, monitoring and enforcement of regulations and higher penalties to fight non-compliance. The study also confirmed the high importance of legitimacy and ethical factors, suggesting that the involvement of stakeholders in the process of designing, monitoring and enforcing regulations is crucial as a process factor that may be more important than mere deterrence measures. This advocates for participatory co-management systems that are most likely to be more effective than top-down mechanisms in promoting compliance. The study also suggests that investments in the education of fishermen, the provision of alternative income and employment opportunities outside of fishing, access to credit to finance the acquisition of legal nets, and the effective regulation of importation of illegal nets will be necessary for enhancing compliance with mesh size regulation in Sudan.

description: Using the Brink-Axel hypothesis we derive the rate $R$ for nuclear dipole excitation by a laser pulse carrying $N \gg 1$ photons with average energy $\hbar ω_0 \approx 5$ MeV. As expected $R \propto (\hbar ω_0)^3$. The rate is also proportional to the aperure $α$ of the laser pulse. Perhaps less expected is the fact that $R \propto N$, irrespective of the degree of coherence of the laser pulse. The expression for $R$, derived for a nearly stationary laser pulse, is valid also for short times and can, thus, be used in simulations via rate equations of multiple nuclear dipole excitations by a single pulse. The explicit dependence of $R$ on the parameters of the laser pulse and on nuclear parameters given in the paper should help to optimize experiments on laser-nucleus reactions.

description: The internet of things (IoT) is transforming major industries including but not limited to healthcare, agriculture, finance, energy, and transportation. IoT platforms are continually improving with innovations such as the amalgamation of software-defined networks (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) in the edge-cloud interplay. Deep learning (DL) is becoming popular due to its remarkable accuracy when trained with a massive amount of data, such as generated by IoT. However, DL algorithms tend to leak privacy when trained on highly sensitive crowd-sourced data such as medical data. Existing privacy-preserving DL algorithms rely on the traditional server-centric approaches requiring high processing powers. We propose a new local differentially private (LDP) algorithm named LATENT that redesigns the training process. LATENT enables a data owner to add a randomization layer before data leave the data owners' devices and reach a potentially untrusted machine learning service. This feature is achieved by splitting the architecture of a convolutional neural network (CNN) into three layers: (1) convolutional module, (2) randomization module, and (3) fully connected module. Hence, the randomization module can operate as an NFV privacy preservation service in an SDN-controlled NFV, making LATENT more practical for IoT-driven cloud-based environments compared to existing approaches. The randomization module employs a newly proposed LDP protocol named utility enhancing randomization, which allows LATENT to maintain high utility compared to existing LDP protocols. Our experimental evaluation of LATENT on convolutional deep neural networks demonstrates excellent accuracy (e.g. 91%- 96%) with high model quality even under low privacy budgets (e.g. $\varepsilon=0.5$).

description: The inflaton condensate associated with a global symmetry can fragment into quasistable Q balls, provided the inflaton oscillations give rise to an effective equation of state with negative pressure. We study chaotic inflation with a running inflaton mass and show that, depending on the sign of the radiative mass correction, the process of fragmentation into inflatonic Q balls can actually take place even though no net charge exists. If the main decay channel of the Q ball is to fermions, the universe will be reheated slowly via surface evaporation.

Violation of $U_1$ Gauge Symmetry by Yang-Mills Gravity and Deflection of Light Experiment

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on the gauge symmetry framework, the $U_1$ symmetry of electrodynamics is violated in the presence of gravity with space-time translational gauge symmetry in inertial frames. For a light ray, an eikonal equation with effective metric tensors is derived in the geometric-optics limit. Under these conditions, the angle of the deflection of light by the sun is calculated to be $\d ϕ\approx 1.75''$ in inertial frames without requiring a gauge condition such as $\p_μA^μ=0$. In contrast, if the theory is $U_1$ gauge invariant, one can impose the gauge condition $\p_μA^μ=0$ in the derivation of the eikonal equation. In this case, one obtains a slightly different effective metric tensor and a different angle of deflection $\d ϕ\approx 1.52''$. However, because the precision of experiments in the last century using optical frequencies has been no better than (10 $-$ 20)\% due to large systematic errors, one cannot unambiguously rule out the result $\d ϕ\approx 1.52'$. It is hoped that the precision of these data can be improved in order to test Yang-Mills gravity.

description: The consumer behaviour and their preferences in purchasing of food products in Slovenia are analysed. The empirical analysis is based on in-depth survey evidence. It analyses the consumer behaviour regarding socio-economic and demographic factors. The summary statistics show that the consumers give the highest importance to the food price, good taste of food, habits towards some foods, expected impacts of food on consumer’s health, to the impact of food on the consumer’s feeling, and that food contains natural ingredients. Multivariate factor analysis show the significance to two common factors, which capture the common impact of food price or value of purchased food as well as the origin of food, ecological way of food production and the perceived value of the brand name. The principal component analysis confirms also the importance of food marketing and the impact of food on the consumer’s health.

description: By using the so-called Information Metric on the moduli space of an anti-selfdual (ASD) Instanton in a Self-Dual (SD) Non-Commutative background, we investigate the geometry of moduli space. The metric is evaluated perturbatively in non-commutativity parameter and we show that by putting a cut-off in the location of instanton in the definition of Information Metric we can recover the five dimensional space time in the presence of a B-field. This result shows that the non-commutative YM-Instanton Moduli corresponds to D-Instanton Moduli in the gravity side where the radial and transverse location of D-Instanton are corresponding to YM-Instanton size and location, respectively. The match is shown in the first order of non-commutativity parameter.

We reveal these results to be coordinate dependent expressions of the invariant uncertainty relations recently derived for general 3-dimensional spaces of constant curvature in [10]. Moreover, we show that the non-zero minimum standard deviations of the momentum in [9] are just artifacts caused by an unfavorable choice of coordinate systems which can be removed by standard arguments of geodesic completion.

description: The irreversible growth of a magnetic film with spins having two possible orientations is studied in three-dimensional confined geometries of size $L\times L\times M$, where $M\gg L$ is the growing direction. A competing situation with two opposite short range surface magnetic fields $H$ of the same magnitude is analyzed. Due to the antisymmetric condition considered, an interface between domains with spins having opposite orientations develops along the growing direction. Such an interface undergoes a localization-delocalization transition that is the precursor of a wetting transition in the thermodynamic limit, in qualitative agreement with observations performed under equilibrium conditions. However, in contrast to its equilibrium counterparts, the film also exhibits a growing interface that undergoes a concave-convex transition in the growth mode. The phase diagram on the $H$ versus $T$ plane is first obtained for a finite system, and exhibits eight different regions. Subsequently, the phase diagram corresponding to the thermodynamic limit is obtained by extrapolation. It is shown that in the latter only six regions remain. The relevant physical properties of all of these regions are discussed in detail.

Guaranteeing Safety for Neural Network-Based Aircraft Collision Avoidance Systems

description: The decision logic for the ACAS X family of aircraft collision avoidance systems is represented as a large numeric table. Due to storage constraints of certified avionics hardware, neural networks have been suggested as a way to significantly compress the data while still preserving performance in terms of safety. However, neural networks are complex continuous functions with outputs that are difficult to predict. Because simulations evaluate only a finite number of encounters, simulations are not sufficient to guarantee that the neural network will perform correctly in all possible situations. We propose a method to provide safety guarantees when using a neural network collision avoidance system. The neural network outputs are bounded using neural network verification tools like Reluplex and Reluval, and a reachability method determines all possible ways aircraft encounters will resolve using neural network advisories and assuming bounded aircraft dynamics. Experiments with systems inspired by ACAS X show that neural networks giving either horizontal or vertical maneuvers can be proven safe. We explore how relaxing the bounds on aircraft dynamics can lead to potentially unsafe encounters and demonstrate how neural network controllers can be modified to guarantee safety through online costs or lowering alerting cost. The reachability method is flexible and can incorporate uncertainties such as pilot delay and sensor error. These results suggest a method for certifying neural network collision avoidance systems for use in real aircraft.

description: Network geometry has strong effects on network dynamics. In particular, the underlying hyperbolic geometry of discrete manifolds has recently been shown to affect their critical percolation properties. Here we investigate the properties of link percolation in non-amenable two-dimensional branching simplicial and cell complexes, i.e., simplicial and cell complexes in which the boundary scales like the volume. We establish the relation between the equations determining the percolation probability in random branching cell complexes and the equation for interdependent percolation in multiplex networks with inter-layer degree correlation equal to one. By using this relation we show that branching cell complexes can display more than two percolation phase transitions: the upper percolation transition, the lower percolation transition, and one or more intermediate phase transitions. At these additional transitions the percolation probability and the fractal exponent both feature a discontinuity. Furthermore, by using the renormalization group theory we show that the upper percolation transition can belong to various universality classes including the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition, the discontinuous percolation transition, and continuous transitions with anomalous singular behavior that generalize the BKT transition.

Supersymmetry provides constraints for possible modifications of the metric, and this gives us a simple proof of nonrenormalization theorems for the original 4-dimensional theory. (ii) We establish a nontrivial relationship between the effective (0+1)-dimensional and (1+1)-dimensional Lagrangia (the latter represent conventional Kahlerian sigma models).

description: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has been successfully applied to a variety of game-like environments. However, the application of deep RL to visual navigation with realistic environments is a challenging task. We propose a novel learning architecture capable of navigating an agent, e.g. a mobile robot, to a target given by an image. To achieve this, we have extended the batched A2C algorithm with auxiliary tasks designed to improve visual navigation performance. We propose three additional auxiliary tasks: predicting the segmentation of the observation image and of the target image and predicting the depth-map. These tasks enable the use of supervised learning to pre-train a large part of the network and to reduce the number of training steps substantially. The training performance has been further improved by increasing the environment complexity gradually over time. An efficient neural network structure is proposed, which is capable of learning for multiple targets in multiple environments. Our method navigates in continuous state spaces and on the AI2-THOR environment simulator outperforms state-of-the-art goal-oriented visual navigation methods from the literature.

In contrast to the conventional ensemble-averaged formalism, it takes into account the measurement record and therefore is able to consider individual realizations of the measurement process. The formalism provides testable experimental predictions and can be used for the analysis of a quantum feedback control of solid-state qubits. We also discuss generalization of the Bayesian formalism to the continuous measurement of entangled qubits.

description: Although mass-produced beers still represent the vast majority of U.S. beer sales, there has been a significant growth trend in the craft beer segment. This study analyzes the demand for beer as a differentiated product and estimates own-price, cross-price, and income elasticities for beer by type: craft beer, mass-produced beer, and imported beer. We verify that beer is a normal good with a considerably inelastic demand and also find that the cross-price elasticity across types of beer is close to zero. The results suggest that there are effectively separate markets for beer by type.

description: We construct an exactly solvable commuting projector model for a $4+1$ dimensional ${\mathbb Z}_2$ symmetry-protected topological phase (SPT) which is outside the cohomology classification of SPTs. The model is described by a decorated domain wall construction, with "three-fermion" Walker-Wang phases on the domain walls. We describe the anomalous nature of the phase in several ways. One interesting feature is that, in contrast to in-cohomology phases, the effective ${\mathbb Z}_2$ symmetry on a $3+1$ dimensional boundary cannot be described by a quantum circuit and instead is a nontrivial quantum cellular automaton (QCA). A related property is that a codimension-two defect (for example, the termination of a ${\mathbb Z}_2$ domain wall at a trivial boundary) will carry nontrivial chiral central charge $4$ mod $8$. We also construct a gapped symmetric topologically-ordered boundary state for our model, which constitutes an anomalous symmetry enriched topological phase outside of the classification of arXiv:1602.00187, and define a corresponding anomaly indicator.

description: Deep learning methods have revolutionized speech recognition, image recognition, and natural language processing since 2010. Each of these tasks involves a single modality in their input signals. However, many applications in the artificial intelligence field involve multiple modalities. Therefore, it is of broad interest to study the more difficult and complex problem of modeling and learning across multiple modalities. In this paper, we provide a technical review of available models and learning methods for multimodal intelligence. The main focus of this review is the combination of vision and natural language modalities, which has become an important topic in both the computer vision and natural language processing research communities. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent works on multimodal deep learning from three perspectives: learning multimodal representations, fusing multimodal signals at various levels, and multimodal applications. Regarding multimodal representation learning, we review the key concepts of embedding, which unify multimodal signals into a single vector space and thereby enable cross-modality signal processing. We also review the properties of many types of embeddings that are constructed and learned for general downstream tasks. Regarding multimodal fusion, this review focuses on special architectures for the integration of representations of unimodal signals for a particular task. Regarding applications, selected areas of a broad interest in the current literature are covered, including image-to-text caption generation, text-to-image generation, and visual question answering. We believe that this review will facilitate future studies in the emerging field of multimodal intelligence for related communities.

description: We investigate the differential branching ratio, branching ratio, differential forward-backward asymmetry, the forward-backward asymmetry of the lepton pair and the lepton polarization asymmetry of the exclusive $B\to τ^+ τ^- γ$ decay in the general two Higgs doublet model including the neutral Higgs boson effects. We analyse the dependencies of these quantities on the model parameters and also on the neutral Higgs boson effects. We found that they get considerable enhancement from the two Higgs doublet model compared to the standard model and neutral Higgs boson effects are quite sizable.

description: Digital ID with Electronic Surveillance System: In any developing country, one needs to have an infinite number of documents, at each level; some of which call for periodical renewal. To fetch those documents either one stands in long queues or goes online. Here again, every e-site generates and asks for a new ID and password. This is how, instead of making things simple, these documents and online processes make life more confounded and miserable. The government officials are bogged down with applications for Aadhar, Licenses, Samagra-ID, Ration Card, EPIC, Passport, Bank Pass Books, ATMs, Vehicle Registration, Registries, Reports, Certificates and so on. Over and above, verification of these documents, at each level, is another deadly exercise. Till date, not a single system, device or App has been invented, in any part of the world, to save humanity from the drudgery of stacking documents, followed by their photocopies, attestations, and verifications - a never-ending process. The present innovation has been conceived and designed to void this gap.

description: We investigate general features of the evolution of holographic subregion complexity (HSC) on Vaidya-AdS metric with a general form. The spacetime is dual to a sudden quench process in quantum system and HSC is a measure of the ``difference'' between two mixed states. Based on the subregion CV (Complexity equals Volume) conjecture and in the large size limit, we extract out three distinct stages during the evolution of HSC: the stage of linear growth at the early time, the stage of linear growth with a slightly small rate during the intermediate time and the stage of linear decrease at the late time. The growth rates of the first two stages are compared with the Lloyd bound. We find that with some choices of certain parameter, the Lloyd bound is always saturated at the early time, while at the intermediate stage, the growth rate is always less than the Lloyd bound. Moreover, the fact that the behavior of CV conjecture and its version of the subregion in Vaidya spacetime implies that they are different even in the large size limit.

The forced labour in the naval dockyard of ferrol during the 18th century
Creators: name: García, Alfredo Martín
Publisher: name: Interconexões
Year: 2013

description: The accession to the throne in the 18th century of the Bourbon dynasty, with their plans for reforming the country, led to an increase in the use of forced labour on the part of the State. The aim of this work is to analyse the impact of this policy on northeast Spain, focusing the analysis on the naval dockyard of Ferrol, one of the most important manufacturing and military centres in 18th century Spain.

description: As escavações realizadas em Braga ao longo das últimas três décadas forneceram dados que permitem analisar neste trabalho a temática da arquitetura doméstica de Bracara Augusta. Durante este período foi reunido um significativo acervo de dados arqueológicos que, apesar de desiguais quanto ao volume e qualidade de informação, possibilitam a caracterização de algumas habitações, ainda que exclusivamente incluídas na categoria de domus, já que o registo arqueológico ainda não forneceu, qualquer outro tipo de estrutura habitacional urbana. Pretende-se contextualizar este tipo de casa, analisando as diferentes partes orgânicas, evidenciando as suas especificidades formais, construtivas e funcionais.

description: Evidence theory is a useful tool for modeling and reasoning uncertain information inherent in experts’ evaluations, which is not handled efficiently in traditional failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). This study proposes an integrated FMEA method that incorporates evidence theory and is applied to human reliability assessment. The human error information of a human-machine system in FMEA is described as a directed graph by a Bayesian network (BN) to assess the dependence among potential human-related failure modes. The BN is extended to propagate the epistemic uncertainty of FMEA team members, where belief mass is applied to model uncertainties in team members’ knowledge and to convert their subjective cognition into varying levels of uncertainty. Risk indexes for occurrence, severity and detection from multiple sources are defined as a special assessment state. The combination of the belief mass of different failure modes is performed using extended Dempster’s rules to avoid the influence of conflicting evidence. Finally, an application in the healthcare system is provided to verify the effectiveness of our model. A comparison with other fuzzy FMEA methods is also conducted, demonstrating the advantages of the proposed model in dealing with decision-makers’ epistemic uncertainty and potential failure mode interdependencies.

description: We estimate the photon and dilepton emission rates from hot hadronic matter with in-medium spectral shift and broadening of vector mesons. It is observed that both the WA98 photon data and CERES/NA45 dilepton data can be well reproduced with similar initial conditions. The freeze-out condition has been constrained by the transverse mass spectra of pions and protons measured by the NA49 collaboration. We argue that simultaneous measurement of the $p_T$ spectra of single photons as well as invariant mass distribution of dileptons is crucial to understand the in-medium spectral function of the vector mesons.

description: In this work, we present a fully automatic method to segment cardiac structures from late-gadolinium enhanced (LGE) images without using labelled LGE data for training, but instead by transferring the anatomical knowledge and features learned on annotated balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) images, which are easier to acquire. Our framework mainly consists of two neural networks: a multi-modal image translation network for style transfer and a cascaded segmentation network for image segmentation. The multi-modal image translation network generates realistic and diverse synthetic LGE images conditioned on a single annotated bSSFP image, forming a synthetic LGE training set. This set is then utilized to fine-tune the segmentation network pre-trained on labelled bSSFP images, achieving the goal of unsupervised LGE image segmentation. In particular, the proposed cascaded segmentation network is able to produce accurate segmentation by taking both shape prior and image appearance into account, achieving an average Dice score of 0.92 for the left ventricle, 0.83 for the myocardium, and 0.88 for the right ventricle on the test set.

description: We study the robustness and fragility of entanglement of open quantum systems in some exactly solvable models in which the decoherence is caused by a pure dephasing process. In particular, for the toy models presented in this paper, we identify two different time scales, one is responsible for local dephasing, while the other is for entanglement decay. For a class of fragile entangled states defined in this paper, we find that the entanglement of two qubits, as measured by concurrence, decays faster asymptotically than the quantum dephasing of an individual qubit.
