description: Two population’s DNA profiling was screened for variant alleles not included within the allelic ladder provided by the manufacturer of GenePrint STR system (Promega Corporation, Madison, US). A total of 3 variant alleles were identified at 3 out of 12 STR loci tested. This study identified one variant allele at TH01 locus (allele 8.3), one at TPOX locus (allele 14) and one at vWA locus (allele 21). All these alleles have been reported previously in different populations. Allele 8.3 found at TH01 fell within the allelic range while allele 14 found at TPOX and allele 21 found at vWA fell outside the allelic range.

description: This paper introduces a new methodology for the complexity analysis of higher-order functional programs, which is based on three components: a powerful type system for size analysis and a sound type inference procedure for it, a ticking monadic transformation and a concrete tool for constraint solving. Noticeably, the presented methodology can be fully automated, and is able to analyse a series of examples which cannot be handled by most competitor methodologies. This is possible due to various key ingredients, and in particular an abstract index language and index polymorphism at higher ranks. A prototype implementation is available.

description: Selecting the optimal recommender via online exploration-exploitation is catching increasing attention where the traditional A/B testing can be slow and costly, and offline evaluations are prone to the bias of history data. Finding the optimal online experiment is nontrivial since both the users and displayed recommendations carry contextual features that are informative to the reward. While the problem can be formalized via the lens of multi-armed bandits, the existing solutions are found less satisfactorily because the general methodologies do not account for the case-specific structures, particularly for the e-commerce recommendation we study. To fill in the gap, we leverage the \emph{D-optimal design} from the classical statistics literature to achieve the maximum information gain during exploration, and reveal how it fits seamlessly with the modern infrastructure of online inference. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the optimal designs, we provide semi-synthetic simulation studies with published code and data for reproducibility purposes. We then use our deployment example on Walmart.com to fully illustrate the practical insights and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

description: Forensic Odontology requires the use of photography for either evidential or investigative purposes. Smith in 1970 said the photographer is expected to produce “something which will convey to the eye of the viewer an accurate reproduction of the scene as it would appear if the viewer actually saw the scene”. If the depictions are precise, the photographs will play a vital role and will be readily accepted as evidence. It is the assumption of dentists that only their counterparts who have specialised in forensic dentistry can contribute to the field. This misconception is an important reason for the limited contribution by dentists to the field of forensic science. This paper aims at explaining the role of a dental practitioner towards forensic photography, and how he/she could play a pivotal contribution towards forensic evidence.

description: Recently, a new family of observables consisting of azimuthal-angle generalised ratios was proposed in a kinematical setup that resembles the usual Mueller-Navelet jets but with an additional tagged jet in the central region of rapidity. Non-tagged minijet activity between the three jets can affect significantly the azimuthal angle orientation of the jets and is accounted for by the introduction of two BFKL gluon Green functions. Here, we calculate the, presumably, most relevant higher order corrections to the observables by now convoluting the three leading-order jet vertices with two gluon Green functions at next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. The corrections appear to be mostly moderate giving us confidence that the recently proposed observables are actually an excellent way to probe the BFKL dynamics at the LHC. Furthermore, we allow for the jets to take values in different rapidity bins in various configurations such that a comparison between our predictions and the experimental data is a straightforward task.

description: We use first-principles calculations to find that in infinite-layer nickelates $R$NiO$_2$, the widely studied tetragonal $P4/mmm$ structure is only dynamically stable for early lanthanide elements $R$ = La-Sm. For late lanthanide elements $R$ = Eu-Lu, an imaginary phonon frequency appears at $A=(π,π,π)$ point. For those infinite-layer nickelates, condensation of this phonon mode into the $P4/mmm$ structure leads to a more energetically favorable $I4/mcm$ structure that is characterized by an out-of-phase rotation of "NiO$_4$ square". Special attention is given to two borderline cases: PmNiO$_2$ and SmNiO$_2$, in which both the $P4/mmm$ structure and the $I4/mcm$ structure are local minima and the energy difference between the two structures can be fine-tuned by epitaxial strain. Compared to the $P4/mmm$ structure, $R$NiO$_2$ in the $I4/mcm$ structure has a substantially reduced Ni $d_{x^2-y^2}$ bandwidth, a smaller Ni $d$ occupancy, a "cleaner" Fermi surface with a lanthanide-$d$-derived electron pocket suppressed at $Γ$ point, and a decreased critical $U_{\textrm{Ni}}$ to stabilize long-range antiferromagnetic ordering. All these features imply enhanced correlation effects and favor Mott physics. Our work reveals the importance of structure-property relation in infinite-layer nickelates, in particular, the spontaneous "NiO$_4$ square" rotation provides a tuning knob to render $R$NiO$_2$ in the $I4/mcm$ structure a closer analogy to superconducting infinite-layer cuprates.

description: Suspensions of cornstarch in water exhibit strong dynamic shear-thickening. We show that partly replacing water by ethanol strongly alters the suspension rheology. We perform steady and non-steady rheology measurements combined with atomic force microscopy to investigate the role of fluid chemistry on the macroscopic rheology of the suspensions and its link with the interactions between cornstarch grains. Upon increasing the ethanol content, the suspension goes through a yield-stress fluid state and ultimately becomes a shear-thinning fluid. On the cornstarch grain scale, atomic force microscopy measurements reveal the presence of polymers on the cornstarch surface, which exhibit a co-solvency effect. At intermediate ethanol content, a maximum of polymer solubility induces high microscopic adhesion which we relate to the macroscopic yield stress.

description: The response of the liquid scintillator (EJ-301 equivalent to NE-213) to the monoenergetic electrons produced in Compton scattered $γ$-ray tagging has been carried out for various radioactive $γ$-ray sources. The measured electron response is found to be linear up to $\sim$4~MeVee and the resolution of the liquid scintillator at 1~MeVee is observed to be $\sim$~11\%. The pulse shape discrimination and pulse height response of the liquid scintillator for neutrons has been measured using $^7$Li(p,n$_1$)$^7$Be*(0.429 MeV) reaction. Non linear response to mono-energetic neutrons for the liquid scintillator is observed at E$_n$=5.3, 9.0 and 12.7 MeV. The measured response of the liquid scintillator for electrons and neutrons have been compared with Geant4 simulation.

Symmetry and Equivalence in Szekeres Models

description: We solve for all Szekeres metrics that have a single Killing vector. For quasi hyperboloidal ($ε= -1$) metrics, we find that translational symmetries are possible, but only in metrics that have shell crossings somewhere, while metrics that can be made free of shell crossings only permit rotations. The quasi planar metrics ($ε= 0$) either have no Killing vectors or they admit full planar symmetry. Single symmetries in quasi spherical metrics ($ε= +1$) are all rotations. The rotations correspond to a known family of axially symmetric metrics, which for each $ε$ value, are equivalent to each other. We consider Szekeres metrics in which the line of dipole extrema is required to be geodesic in the 3-space, and show the same set of families emerges. We investigate when two Szekeres metrics are physically equivalent, and complete a previous list of transformations of the arbitrary functions.

description: We present a systematic coarse-graining (CG) strategy for many particle molecular systems based on cluster expansion techniques. We construct a hierarchy of coarse-grained Hamiltonians with interaction potentials consisting of two, three and higher body interactions. The accuracy of the derived cluster expansion based on interatomic potentials is examined over a range of various temperatures and densities and compared to direct computation of pair potential of mean force. The comparison of the coarse-grained simulations is done on the basis of the structural properties, against the detailed all-atom data. We give specific examples for methane and ethane molecules in which the coarse-grained variable is the center of mass of the molecule. We investigate different temperature and density regimes, and we examine differences between the methane and ethane systems. Results show that the cluster expansion formalism can be used in order to provide accurate effective pair and three-body CG potentials at high $T$ and low $ρ$ regimes. In the liquid regime the three-body effective CG potentials give a small improvement, over the typical pair CG ones; however in order to get significantly better results one needs to consider even higher order terms.

description: For any graph $G$ of order $n$ with degree sequence $d_{1}\geq\cdots\geq d_{n}$, we define the double Slater number $s\ell_{\times2}(G)$ as the smallest integer $t$ such that $t+d_{1}+\cdots+d_{t-e}\geq2n-p$ in which $e$ and $p$ are the number of end-vertices and penultimate vertices of $G$, respectively. We show that $γ_{\times2}(G)\geq s\ell_{\times2}(G)$, where $γ_{\times2}(G)$ is the well-known double domination number of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices. We prove that the problem of deciding whether the equality holds for a given graph is NP-complete even when restricted to $4$-partite graphs. We also prove that the problem of computing $γ_{\times2}(G)$ in NP-hard even for comparability graphs of diameter two. Some results concerning these two parameters are given in this paper improving and generalizing some earlier results on double domination in graphs. We give an upper bound on the $k$-tuple domatic number of graphs with characterization of all graphs attaining the bound. Finally, we characterize the family of all full graphs, leading to a solution to an open problem given in a paper by Cockayne and Hedetniemi ($1977$).

description: Considering uncertainties and disturbances is an important, yet challenging, step in successful decision making. The problem becomes more challenging in safety-constrained environments. In this paper, we propose a robust and safe trajectory optimization algorithm through solving a constrained min-max optimal control problem. The proposed method leverages a game theoretic differential dynamic programming approach with barrier states to handle parametric and non-parametric uncertainties in safety-critical control systems. Barrier states are embedded into the differential game's dynamics and cost to portray the constrained environment in a higher dimensional state space and certify the safety of the optimized trajectory. Moreover, to find a convergent optimal solution, we propose to perform line-search in a Stackleberg (leader-follower) game fashion instead of picking a constant learning rate. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on a velocity-constrained inverted pendulum model in a moderate and high parametric uncertainties to show its efficacy in such a comprehensible system. The algorithm is subsequently implemented on a quadrotor in a windy environment in which sinusoidal wind turbulences applied in all directions.

After the introductory ideas, the first part is referred to the premises that support the reserved portion regime and its current validity in Argentinean Inheritance Law. The second part exposes some of the new paradigms that lead to consider alter solutions. The third part focuses on different alternatives which have been discussed in Argentina as well as in Comparative Law. The last part provides the reasons why it is necessary to adapt the reserved portion law because it unfairly restricts the elder´s free will.

description: To achieve efficient light control at subwavelength dimensions, plasmonic and all-dielectric nanoparticles have been utilized both as a single element as well as in the arrays. Here we study 2D periodic nanoparticle arrays (metasurfaces) that support lattice resonances near the Rayleigh anomaly due to the electric dipole (ED) and magnetic dipole (MD) resonant coupling between the nanoparticles. Silicon and core-shell particles are considered. We demonstrate for the first time that, choosing of lattice periods independently in each mutual-perpendicular direction, it is possible to achieve a full overlap between the ED-lattice resonance and MD resonances of nanoparticles in certain spectral range and to realize the resonant lattice Kerker effect (resonant suppression of the scattering or reflection). At the effect conditions, the strong suppression of light reflectance in the structure is appeared due to destructive interference between electromagnetic waves scattered by ED and MD moments of every nanoparticle in the backward direction with respect to the incident light wave. Influence of the array size on the revealed reflectance and transmittance behavior is discussed. The resonant lattice Kerker effect based on the overlap of both ED and MD lattice resonances is also demonstrated.

description: An influence of multi-line CO laser focusing on spectral characteristics of broadband sum-frequency generation in ZnGeP2 nonlinear crystal was experimentally and numerically studied. Maximal frequency conversion was experimentally observed under tight focusing of the multi-line rather than single-line CO laser. The tight focusing resulted in broadening sum-frequency generation spectrum and increasing total, i.e. integrated over the spectrum, frequency conversion efficiency. These effects were due to increasing phase-matching bandwidth and angular dispersion. Maximal conversion efficiency of the multi-line CO laser was numerically demonstrated to take place at the focal length of 0.4 times that for the single-line one.

description: It has been argued recently that objects of maximal microstate entropy permitted by unitarity, the so-called saturons, have properties similar to black holes. We demonstrate the existence of such objects in Gross-Neveu model. From the large-$N$ scaling of $S$-matrix, we deduce the connection between the entropy of the bound-state and the unitarity of scattering. We observe that upon saturation of unitarity, the bound state exhibits a remarkable correspondence with a black hole. The scaling of its entropy is identical to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. The saturon decays via Hawking's thermal rate of temperature given by the inverse size. The information retrieval time from the Gross-Neveu saturon is isomorphic to Page's time. Our observations indicate that black hole properties are exhibited by saturated states in simple calculable models.

description: Recent work applying the notion of pseudospectrum to gravitational physics showed that the quasinormal mode spectrum of black holes is unstable, with the possible exception of the longest-lived (fundamental) mode. The fundamental mode dominates the expected signal in gravitational wave astronomy, and there is no reason why it should have privileged status. We compute the quasinormal mode spectrum of two model problems where the Schwarzschild potential is perturbed by a small "bump" consisting of either a Pöschl-Teller potential or a Gaussian, and we show that the fundamental mode is destabilized under generic perturbations. We present phase diagrams and study a simple double-barrier toy problem to clarify the conditions under which the spectral instability occurs.

Loop Quasi-Invariant Chunk Motion by peeling with statement composition

description: Several techniques for analysis and transformations are used in compilers. Among them, the peeling of loops for hoisting quasi-invariants can be used to optimize generated code, or simply ease developers' lives. In this paper, we introduce a new concept of dependency analysis borrowed from the field of Implicit Computational Complexity (ICC), allowing to work with composed statements called Chunks to detect more quasi-invariants. Based on an optimization idea given on a WHILE language, we provide a transformation method - reusing ICC concepts and techniques - to compilers. This new analysis computes an invariance degree for each statement or chunks of statements by building a new kind of dependency graph, finds the maximum or worst dependency graph for loops, and recognizes if an entire block is Quasi-Invariant or not. This block could be an inner loop, and in that case the computational complexity of the overall program can be decreased. We already implemented a proof of concept on a toy C parser 1 analysing and transforming the AST representation. In this paper, we introduce the theory around this concept and present a prototype analysis pass implemented on LLVM. In a very near future, we will implement the corresponding transformation and provide benchmarks comparisons.

description: As of the mid 1980s, many kibbutzim became deeply indebted and went into grave economic troubles, which affected adversely both their competitiveness and the spiritual resilience of the kibbutz society. The combination of economic and ideological crises led to a crossroad from which the kibbutz may emerge as a reformed kibbutz, with a variety of new ideas as to the direction of the reform. It could also become, however, a disintegrated kibbutz with various options how to continue life in an ex-kibbutz village. Finally, kibbutz members may refrain from taking redressing initiatives and kibbutzim may enter a stage of gradual languor and demographic decline. This paper examines some of the more specific reasons which led to the arrival of the kibbutzim to the present crossroad, and the various options on the agenda for the future of the kibbutz today.

description: We have successfully synthesized single crystals of EuNi$_5$As$_3$ using a flux method and we present a comprehensive study of the physical properties using magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements. EuNi$_5$As$_3$ undergoes two close antiferromagnetic transitions at respective temperatures of $T_{N1}$ = 7.2 K and $T_{N2}$ = 6.4 K, which are associated with the Eu$^{2+}$ moments. Both transitions are suppressed upon applying a field and we map the temperature-field phase diagrams for fields applied parallel and perpendicular to the easy $a$ axis. XAS measurements reveal that the Eu is strongly divalent, with very little temperature dependence, indicating the localized Eu$^{2+}$ nature of EuNi$_5$As$_3$, with a lack of evidence for heavy fermion behavior.

description: Prefix hijacking is a common phenomenon in the Internet that often causes routing problems and economic losses. In this demo, we propose ARTEMIS, a tool that enables network administrators to detect and mitigate prefix hijacking incidents, against their own prefixes. ARTEMIS is based on the real-time monitoring of BGP data in the Internet, and software-defined networking (SDN) principles, and can completely mitigate a prefix hijacking within a few minutes (e.g., 5-6 mins in our experiments) after it has been launched.

description: We study three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$, an oriented circle bundle of degree $p$ over a closed Riemann surface, $Σ_g$. We compute the $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$ supersymmetric partition function and correlation functions of supersymmetric loop operators. This uncovers interesting relations between observables on manifolds of different topologies. In particular, the familiar supersymmetric partition function on the round $S^3$ can be understood as the expectation value of a so-called "fibering operator" on $S^2 \times S^1$ with a topological twist. More generally, we show that the 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric partition functions (and supersymmetric Wilson loop correlation functions) on $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$ are fully determined by the two-dimensional A-twisted topological field theory obtained by compactifying the 3d theory on a circle. We give two complementary derivations of the result. We also discuss applications to F-maximization and to three-dimensional supersymmetric dualities.

description: Group IV Ge1-xSnx semiconductors hold the premise of enabling broadband silicon-integrated infrared optoelectronics due to their tunable bandgap energy and directness. Herein, we exploit these attributes along with the enhanced lattice strain relaxation in Ge/Ge0.92Sn0.08 core-shell nanowire heterostructures to implement highly responsive, room-temperature short-wave infrared nanoscale photodetectors. Atomic-level studies confirm the uniform shell composition and its higher crystallinity with respect to thin films counterparts. The demonstrated Ge/Ge0.92Sn0.08 p-type field-effect nanowire transistors exhibit superior optoelectronic properties achieving simultaneously a relatively high mobility, a high ON/OFF ratio, and a high responsivity, in addition to a broadband absorption in the short-wave infrared range. Indeed, the reduced bandgap of the Ge0.92Sn0.08 shell yields an extended cutoff wavelength of 2.1 um, with a room-temperature responsivity reaching 2.7 A/W at 1550 nm. These results highlight the potential of Ge/Ge1-xSnx core/shell nanowires as silicon-compatible building blocks for nanoscale integrated infrared photonics.

description: The free energy landscape of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrik (SK) Ising spin glass is simple in the framework of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) equations as each solution (which are minima of the free energy) has associated with it a nearby index-one saddle point. The free energy barrier to escape the minimum is just the difference between the saddle point free energy and that at its associated minimum. This difference is calculated for the states with free energies $f > f_c$. It is very small for these states, decreasing as $1/N^2$, where $N$ is the number of spins in the system. These states are not marginally stable. We argue that such small barriers are why numerical studies never find these states when $N$ is large. Instead the states which are found are those which have marginal stability. For them the barriers are at least of $O(1)$. $f_c$ is the free energy per spin below which the states develop broken replica-symmetry like overlaps with each other. In the regime $f < f_c$ we can only offer some possibilities based around scaling arguments. One of these suggest that the barriers might become as large as $N^{1/3}$. That might be consistent with recent numerical studies on the Viana-Bray model, which were at variance with the expectations of Cugliandolo and Kurchan for the SK model.

description: This paper investigates the performance of a legitimate surveillance system, where a legitimate monitor aims to eavesdrop on a dubious decode-and-forward relaying communication link. In order to maximize the effective eavesdropping rate, two strategies are proposed, where the legitimate monitor adaptively acts as an eavesdropper, a jammer or a helper. In addition, the corresponding optimal jamming beamformer and jamming power are presented. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed strategies attain better performance compared with intuitive benchmark schemes. Moreover, it is revealed that the position of the legitimate monitor plays an important role on the eavesdropping performance for the two strategies.
The tidal quality of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b

description: WASP-12b stands out among the planets of its class of hot Jupiters because of the observed fast orbital decay attributed to tidal dissipation. The measured rate of the orbital period is $\stackrel{\bf\centerdot}{\textstyle{P}}_{\rm orb}\,=\,-\,29\pm3\;\mbox{ms/yr}\;$=$\;(9.2\pm1.0)\times10^{-10}\;\mbox{s/s}$. In the literature heretofore, all attempts to explain this high rate were based on the assumption that the orbital evolution is dominated by the tides in the star. Since the modified tidal quality factor in yellow dwarfs is insufficient to warrant such a decay rate, a hypothesis was put forward that the star may actually be a subgiant. Using the latest data from the Gaia mission, we deduce that WASP-12a at $1.36\,{M_{Sun}}$ is an evolving dwarf at an early stage of post-turn-off evolution that has not yet depleted hydrogen in its core. Its unremarkable position in the color-magnitude diagram and the existence of close planets orbiting red giants of similar mass contradict the hypothesis of an abrupt boost of tidal quality due to structural internal changes. On the other hand, the previous research neglected the tidal dissipation in the planet assuming it to be negligible due to the likely synchronisation of its rotation and a presumed high quality factor. We critically reassess this assumption in the light of recent astrometric results for Jupiter and Saturn. Assuming that the structure of WASP-12b is similar to that of our Jupiter and Saturn, we find that the observed orbital decay is well explained by the tides in the planet. The estimated value of the planet's modified quality factor coincides almost precisely with that of our Jupiter.

description: Objectives: Local recurrence (rec) in lung cancer is associated with poor survival. This study examined whether the pattern of failure is associated with the most PET avid volume in the planning-FDG-PET/CT scan (p-PET/CT). Methods: 162 consecutive inoperable NSCLC patients (pts) receiving radiotherapy between January 2012 and April 2014 were reviewed. Radiotherapy was delivered in 2 Gy/fraction (5f/week) to a total dose of 60–66 Gy. Pts were followed with CT scans every third month. Patients with local rec as first event were analyzed. For the primary tumor (T) the overlap-fraction (OF) between 50% of SUVpeak on p-PET/CT and the volume of T-rec was calculated: OF = (SUVp50∩T-rec)/min(SUVp50, T-rec). Similarly for the GTV on the p-CT: OF = (GTV∩T-rec)/min(GTV, T-rec). OF was based on a rigid registration between p-PET/CT and rec-CT with PET guided delineation of T- rec. For lymph nodes (LN), the correlation between the location of treated-LN and the location of recurrence-LN was evaluated. Results: 67 patients developed local rec. 51 pts had rec in T-site, 45 pts in LN-site. Due to anatomical changes, reliable registration between p-CT and rec-CT was only obtained in 26 pts with T-rec. The median OFSUVp50 was 52, 8% [range 26; 100%] and the median OFGTV was 80.5% [19.7; 100%]. Eleven pts had higher OFSUVp50 than OFGTV. LN-rec predominantly occurred in the station 2R (32%), 4R (46%), 7 (46%) and right hilum (36%). Pts with malignant LNs in station 4R or 7 on p-CT had a high risk of rec in these stations; 4R (55%) and 7 (83%). Conclusions: This study indicates that the most PET active volume on p-PET-CT is a driver for rec at T-site. LN-recurrences predominantly appear in station 2R, 4R, 7 and right hilum. Additional confirmatory studies regarding lymph node mapping and selective lymph node irradiation is needed.

description: As with most Machine Learning systems, recommender systems are typically evaluated through performance metrics computed over held-out data points. However, real-world behavior is undoubtedly nuanced: ad hoc error analysis and deployment-specific tests must be employed to ensure the desired quality in actual deployments. In this paper, we propose RecList, a behavioral-based testing methodology. RecList organizes recommender systems by use case and introduces a general plug-and-play procedure to scale up behavioral testing. We demonstrate its capabilities by analyzing known algorithms and black-box commercial systems, and we release RecList as an open source, extensible package for the community.

description: Sisters in Arms: A Creative Study of Queer Female Protagonists in Urban Fantasy Fiction is a creative practice-based research project which explores the nature of queerness in relation to genre, place, and characters. In the critical analysis of my novel, Sisters in Arms, I explore two areas connected by intersectionality: the representations of queer protagonists and the role that locality plays in identity. 

To consider the first I examine in detail how queer theory, current events and socio-political climates have influenced my writing and the creative decisions that I have made, particularly in regard to gender identity. 

In terms of the second I explore the relationship of location in fiction to identity, and the importance of locality in a setting. The urban fantasy novel Sisters in Arms is set in a small town and features queer protagonists, the novel explores platonic relationships and queerness without romantic queer relationships and gender identity being a central issue for the plot to be solved. 

The thesis draws on both the critical commentary and the creative work to form a complete exploration of queer female protagonists and their roles in the small-town urban fantasy landscape.
A novel conductivity mechanism of highly disordered carbon systems based on an investigation of graph zeta function

description: In the previous report [Phys. Rev. B {\bf{62}} 13812 (2000)], by proposing the mechanism under which electric conductivity is caused by the activational hopping conduction with the Wigner surmise of the level statistics, the temperature-dependent of electronic conductivity of a highly disordered carbon system was evaluated including apparent metal-insulator transition. Since the system consists of small pieces of graphite, it was assumed that the reason why the level statistics appears is due to the behavior of the quantum chaos in each granular graphite. In this article, we revise the assumption and show another origin of the Wigner surmise, which is more natural for the carbon system based on a recent investigation of graph zeta function in graph theory.
