description: As an instance-level recognition problem, re-identification (re-ID) requires models to capture diverse features. However, with continuous training, re-ID models pay more and more attention to the salient areas. As a result, the model may only focus on few small regions with salient representations and ignore other important information. This phenomenon leads to inferior performance, especially when models are evaluated on small inter-identity variation data. In this paper, we propose a novel network, Erasing-Salient Net (ES-Net), to learn comprehensive features by erasing the salient areas in an image. ES-Net proposes a novel method to locate the salient areas by the confidence of objects and erases them efficiently in a training batch. Meanwhile, to mitigate the over-erasing problem, this paper uses a trainable pooling layer P-pooling that generalizes global max and global average pooling. Experiments are conducted on two specific re-identification tasks (i.e., Person re-ID, Vehicle re-ID). Our ES-Net outperforms state-of-the-art methods on three Person re-ID benchmarks and two Vehicle re-ID benchmarks. Specifically, mAP / Rank-1 rate: 88.6% / 95.7% on Market1501, 78.8% / 89.2% on DuckMTMC-reID, 57.3% / 80.9% on MSMT17, 81.9% / 97.0% on Veri-776, respectively. Rank-1 / Rank-5 rate: 83.6% / 96.9% on VehicleID (Small), 79.9% / 93.5% on VehicleID (Medium), 76.9% / 90.7% on VehicleID (Large), respectively. Moreover, the visualized salient areas show human-interpretable visual explanations for the ranking results.

description: We present a general theory of entanglement-assisted quantum convolutional coding. The codes have a convolutional or memory structure, they assume that the sender and receiver share noiseless entanglement prior to quantum communication, and they are not restricted to possess the Calderbank-Shor-Steane structure as in previous work. We provide two significant advances for quantum convolutional coding theory. We first show how to "expand" a given set of quantum convolutional generators. This expansion step acts as a preprocessor for a polynomial symplectic Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure that simplifies the commutation relations of the expanded generators to be the same as those of entangled Bell states (ebits) and ancilla qubits. The above two steps produce a set of generators with equivalent error-correcting properties to those of the original generators. We then demonstrate how to perform online encoding and decoding for a stream of information qubits, halves of ebits, and ancilla qubits. The upshot of our theory is that the quantum code designer can engineer quantum convolutional codes with desirable error-correcting properties without having to worry about the commutation relations of these generators.

description: Blueshifted X-ray absorption lines (preferentially from Fe XXV and Fe XXVI present in the 6-8 keV range) indicating the presence of massive hot disk winds in Black Hole (BH) X-ray binaries (XrB) are most generally observed during the soft states. It has been recently suggested that the non-detection of such hot wind signatures in the hard states could be due to the thermal instability of the wind in the ionisation domain consistent with Fe XXV and Fe XXVI. Studying the wind thermal stability requires however a very good knowledge of the spectral shape of the ionizing Spectral Energy Distribution (SED). We discuss in this paper the expected evolution of the disk wind properties during an entire outburst by using the RXTE observations of GX 339-4 during its 2010-2011 outburst. While GX 339-4 never showed signatures of a hot wind in the X-rays, the dataset used is optimal to illustrate our purposes. We compute the corresponding stability curves of the wind using the SED obtained with the Jet-Emitting Disk model. We show that the disk wind can transit from stable to unstable states for Fe XXV and Fe XXVI ions on a day time scale. While the absence of wind absorption features in hard states could be explained by this instability, their presence in soft states seems to require changes of the wind properties (e.g. density) during the spectral transitions between hard and soft states. We propose that these changes could be partly due to the variation of heating power release at the accretion disk surface through irradiation by the central X-ray source. The evolution of the disk wind properties discussed in this paper could be confirmed through the daily monitoring of the spectral transition of a high-inclination BH XrB.

description: Emissions of free neutrons and protons from the central collisions of 124Sn+124Sn and 112Sn+112Sn reactions are simulated using the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics model with two different density dependence of the symmetry energy in the nuclear equation of state. The constructed double ratios of the neutron to proton ratios of the two reaction systems are found to be sensitive to the symmetry terms in the EOS. The effect of cluster formation is examined and found to affect the double ratios mainly in the low energy region. In order to extract better information on symmetry energy with transport models, it is therefore important to have accurate data in the high energy region which also is affected minimally by sequential decays.

description: We investigate whether explicit models of warped D-brane inflation are possible in string compactifications. To this end, we study the potential for D3-brane motion in a warped conifold that includes holomorphically-embedded D7-branes involved in moduli stabilization. The presence of the D7-branes significantly modifies the inflaton potential. We construct an example based on a very simple and symmetric embedding due to Kuperstein, z_1 = constant, in which it is possible to fine-tune the potential so that slow roll inflation can occur. The resulting model is rather delicate: inflation occurs in the vicinity of an inflection point, and the cosmological predictions are extremely sensitive to the precise shape of the potential.

description: A key challenge in big data collection process is input validation/filtering which is daunting due to untrustworthyinput sources, especially with the “bring your own device” (BYOD) model. This paper presents a model andalgorithms for input validation/filtering of large data sets using algorithms such as heuristic rule used for detectingout-of-range faults, temporal correlation method used for detecting struck-at faults, and modified -score methodused for detecting outliers and spike faults. The research work contributes in two ways; first, a novel algorithm foridentification and validation/filtering of endpoint node against spoofing attack was proposed. Second, those existingalgorithms for sensor data validation were extended and integrated into a single and robust algorithm for endpointinput validation that we sought. The implementation of our algorithms using Python programming language withopen data from weather sensors shows that the proposed data validation algorithm is effective in detecting differenttypes of data faults and reports high fault detection rate by eliminating false positives.

description: Cosmic string networks generate cosmological perturbations actively throughout the history of the universe. Thus, the string sourced anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background is not affected by Silk damping as much as the anisotropy seeded by inflation. The spectrum of perturbations generated by strings does not match the observed CMB spectrum on large angular scales (l<1000) and is bounded to contribute no more than 10% of the total power on those scales. However, when this bound is marginally saturated, the anisotropy created by cosmic strings on small angular scales l>2000 will dominate over that created by the primary inflationary perturbations. This range of angular scales in the CMB is presently being measured by a number of experiments; their results will test this prediction of cosmic string networks soon.

The private classical capacity with a symmetric side channel and its application to quantum cryptography

description: We study the symmetric-side-channel-assisted private capacity of a quantum channel, for which we provide a single-letter formula. This capacity is additive, convex, and, for degradable channels, equal to the unassisted private capacity. While a channel's (unassisted) capacity for for private classical communication may be strictly larger than its quantum capacity, we will show that these capacities are equal for degradable channels, thus demonstrating the equivalence of privacy and quantum coherence in this context. We use these ideas to find new bounds on the key rate of quantum key distribution protocols with one-way classical post-processing. For the Bennett-Brassard-84 (BB84) protocol, our results demonstrate that collective attacks are strictly stronger than individual attacks.

The square-lattice quantum liquid of charge c fermions and spin-neutral two-spinon s1 fermions

description: The momentum bands, energy dispersions, and velocities of the charge $c$ fermions and spin-neutral two-spinon $s1$ fermions of a square-lattice quantum liquid referring to the Hubbard model on such a lattice of edge length $L$ in the one- and two-electron subspace are studied. The model involves the effective nearest-neighbor integral $t$ and on-site repulsion $U$ and can be experimentally realized in systems of correlated ultra-cold fermionic atoms on an optical lattice and thus our results are of interest for such systems. Our investigations profit from a general rotated-electron description, which is consistent with the model global $SO(3)\times SO(3)\times U(1)$ symmetry. For the model in the one- and two-electron subspace the discrete momentum values of the $c$ and $s1$ fermions are good quantum numbers so that in contrast to the original strongly-correlated electronic problem their interactions are residual. The use of our description renders an involved many-electron problem into a quantum liquid with some similarities with a Fermi liquid.

description: The band-gap problem and other systematic failures of approximate functionals are explained from an analysis of total energy for fractional charges. The deviation from the correct intrinsic linear behavior in finite systems leads to delocalization and localization errors in large or bulk systems. Functionals whose energy is convex for fractional charges such as LDA display an incorrect apparent linearity in the bulk limit, due to the delocalization error. Concave functionals also have an incorrect apparent linearity in the bulk calculation, due to the localization error and imposed symmetry. This resolves an important paradox and opens the possibility to obtain accurate band-gaps from DFT.

description: Mobility on demand (MoD) systems show great promise in realizing flexible and efficient urban transportation. However, significant technical challenges arise from operational decision making associated with MoD vehicle dispatch and fleet rebalancing. For this reason, operators tend to employ simplified algorithms that have been demonstrated to work well in a particular setting. To help bridge the gap between novel and existing methods, we propose a modular framework for fleet rebalancing based on model-free reinforcement learning (RL) that can leverage an existing dispatch method to minimize system cost. In particular, by treating dispatch as part of the environment dynamics, a centralized agent can learn to intermittently direct the dispatcher to reposition free vehicles and mitigate against fleet imbalance. We formulate RL state and action spaces as distributions over a grid partitioning of the operating area, making the framework scalable and avoiding the complexities associated with multiagent RL. Numerical experiments, using real-world trip and network data, demonstrate that this approach has several distinct advantages over baseline methods including: improved system cost; high degree of adaptability to the selected dispatch method; and the ability to perform scale-invariant transfer learning between problem instances with similar vehicle and request distributions.

description: Mladen Stilinović’s (1947-2016) text “In Praise of Laziness” (1993) makes seemingly absurd claims about the relationship between art and laziness which are most often interpreted as political commentary in his typically cynical brand of humor. While this humor is indeed a consistent and essential element of his work, such readings fail to critically assess the depth of his notion of “laziness.” I conduct a thorough unpacking of his definition in order to reveal “laziness” as a form of constructive passivity with a potentially pacifist dimension. With particular focus on his artist books and works dealing with themes of time and pain, I demonstrate the myriad ways in which Stilinović’s notion of “laziness” manifests throughout his oeuvre. Contextualization of “In Praise of Laziness” has been dominated by oversimplified narratives of a global “East/West” divide while Stilinović’s particular geopolitical circumstances as a member of the last Yugoslav generation have been overlooked. Following a careful recontextualization of “In Praise of Laziness,” I suggest that this work may be considered a critical response to the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

description: Research suggests there may be links between developmental changes in sleep (e.g., transition out of a nap), memory, and brain (specifically, hippocampus). The purpose of this investigation was to explore differences in sleep physiology, visuospatial memory, and hippocampal volume based on nap status. Participants were 3 to 5-year-old children (n=51) who were habitual nappers (napping >5 days/week), semi-habitual nappers (3–4 days/week), or non-nappers (<2 days/week). Participants completed a memory task before and after a wake and nap session. Polysomnography (PSG) and hippocampal volumes were also assessed. Findings demonstrated that, regardless of nap status, children performed better on a memory task following a nap. PSG revealed that habitual nappers spent marginally more time in nREM2 sleep and less time in SWS compared to semi-habitual nappers. Finally, non-nappers demonstrated a larger hippocampus than the other groups. These findings support the suggestion that developmental differences in these domains are related during childhood.

description: Many practical recommender systems provide item recommendation for different users only via mining user-item interactions but totally ignoring the rich attribute information of items that users interact with. In this paper, we propose an attribute-augmented graph neural network model named Murzim. Murzim takes as input the graphs constructed from the user-item interaction sequences and corresponding item attribute sequences. By combining the GNNs with node aggregation and an attention network, Murzim can capture user preference patterns, generate embeddings for user-item interaction sequences, and then generate recommendations through next-item prediction. We conduct extensive experiments on multiple datasets. Experimental results show that Murzim outperforms several state-of-the-art methods in terms of recall and MRR, which illustrates that Murzim can make use of item attribute information to produce better recommendations. At present, Murzim has been deployed in MX Player, one of India's largest streaming platforms, and is recommending videos for tens of thousands of users.

description: Despite anecdotal instances of far-right extremists exhibiting multiple ideological affiliations, the relationship between extremists who adhere to multiple sub-ideologies and their propensity for violence is unknown. The present study contributes to the understanding of how multiple sub-ideologies impact the likelihood of violence by using differential association theory to test the hypothesis that far-right extremists in the US who adhere to multiple sub-ideologies have a greater propensity for extremist violence than single sub-ideology peers. Using data from 922 individuals who radicalized in the US, logistic regression tests the hypothesis that extremists with multiple ideological affiliations will have a greater propensity for violence and finds no significant positive relationship. Differences in the amount of differential associations may not affect violent outcomes. Moving forward, researchers should expand on and refine these findings to address an emerging issue in extremism and contribute to novel research.

Of the techniques able to do this, molecular layer deposition (MLD) is unique because it allows uniformity, conformality, monolayer thickness control, and a wide variety of available materials, including both organic and inorganic materials. MLD was used to synthesize both an organic crown ether polymer electrolyte with potential ion binding and ion conducting properties, and an organic-inorganic Lithium containing thin film for solid electrolyte / anode interface protection. Both films were characterized using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and could have future applications in next generation batteries.

description: The existence of triadic resonances in the magnetized spherical Couette system (MSC) is related to the development of modulated rotating waves, which are quasiperiodic flows understood in terms of bifurcation theory in systems with symmetry. In contrast to previous studies in spherical geometry the resonant modes are not inertial waves but related with the radial jet instability which is strongly equatorially antisymmetric. We propose a general framework in which triadic resonances are generated through successive Hopf bifurcations from the base state. The study relies on an accurate frequency analysis of different modes of the flow, for solutions belonging to two different bifurcation scenarios. The azimuthal and latitudinal nonlinear coupling among the resonant modes is analysed and interpreted using spherical harmonics and the results are compared with previous studies in spherical geometry.

description: RESUMO

 

A cardiomiopatia dilatada canina (CMD) caracteriza-se como um distúrbio cardíaco primário, marcado pela diminuição da contratilidade do miocárdio e consequente diminuição do débito cardíaco, através da dilatação das câmaras ventriculares e disfunção sistólica. A CMD tende a ter um prognóstico desfavorável, principalmente em casos de evolução para insuficiência cardíaca congestiva e quando há o desenvolvimento de fibrilação atrial (FA). Foi atendida no Hospital Veterinário uma cadela de 3 anos, 41 kg, raça Dogue de Bordeaux, com queixa principal de dispneia e distensão abdominal, com perda de peso progressiva, diminuição de apetite e intolerância ao exercício. No exame clínico foi constatado que a paciente tinha ascite e alterações na ausculta cardíaca como taquicardia acima de 200 bpm e batimentos em ritmo de galope. Eletrocardiograma revelou fibrilação atrial e sobrecarga de ventrículo esquerdo.

The effects of failed state status on terrorist targeting: A Lebanese case study
Creators: name: Kirk, Sarah Nicole
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Criminology
subject: FOS: Law

description: Understanding the targeting decisions of terrorist organizations is a key concept that has been largely overlooked in counter-terrorism research. The success of terrorist organizations in Lebanon motivates the current study to assess how their operational decisions changed as Lebanon transitioned from civil war to state instability. Guided by rational choice theory, I explore the idea that terrorist organizations target entities that are most threatening to their chances of survival using data from the Global Terrorism Database. Specifically, the study uses multinomial logistic regression models to understand terrorist targeting choices in Lebanon from 1975 to 2018. While Lebanon is only a case study, I anticipate that the conclusions drawn here can help us understand similar dynamics in other parts of the world. The primary analysis finds a lack of support in predicted patterns of terrorist targeting. This study also includes a supplemental analysis providing directions for future research.

description: Background/Aims: Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (dSOC) has revolutionized bile duct visualization. Interventions like electrohydraulic or laser lithotripsy, inspection of suspicious areas, and targeted biopsies have become possible quick and easy. One main indication for dSOC remains the evaluation of indeterminate biliary strictures. Objective and Methods: We analyzed 180 consecutive dSOCs procedures performed in a high-volume tertiary center to evaluate sensitivity, specificity as well as positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) for indeterminate strictures. Furthermore, technical success and complications were analyzed. Results: In 92–97%, the region of interest was reached and successfully visualized. In 83–100%, targeted biopsies were obtained from the suspicious area. Only the distal bile duct was less successful with only 84 and 62%, respectively. In general, dSOC procedures were safe. Cholangitis was the main complication. Regarding the diagnostic accuracy of dSOC of indeterminate biliary strictures, we found a sensitivity of 0.87 and specificity of 0.88, over all. Within the whole cohort, the investigators’ assessment directly after dSOC had a PPV of 0.63 and a NPV of 0.97. In patients with biliary lesions or stenosis suspicious for malignancy, the dSOC-based visual diagnosis revealed a very high diagnostic accuracy with sensitivity and specificity of 1.0 (95% CI 0.86–1.0) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.56–0.9) with a PPV of 0.77 (95% CI 0.59–0.9) and a high NPV of 1.0 (95% CI 0.85–1.0). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that dSOC has a high diagnostic accuracy as well as a favorable safety profile. Therefore, dSOC should be discussed as standard of care during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography for indeterminate biliary lesions.

description: Future direct imaging missions will primarily observe planets that have been previously detected, mostly via the radial velocity (RV) technique, to characterize planetary atmospheres. In the meantime, direct imaging may discover new planets within existing planetary systems that have bright enough reflected flux, yet with insufficient signals for other methods to detect. Here, we investigate the parameter space within which planets are unlikely to be detected by RV in the near future due to precision limitations, but could be discovered through reflected light with future direct imaging missions. We use the HD 134987 system as a working example, combine RV and direct imaging detection limit curves in the same parameter space through various assumptions, and insert a fictitious planet into the system while ensuring it lies between the RV and imaging detection limits. Planet validity tested through dynamical simulations and retrieval tests revealed that the planet could indeed be detected by imaging while remaining hidden from RV surveys. Direct imaging retrieval was carried out using starshade simulations for two mission concepts: the Starshade Rendezvous Probe that could be coupled with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and the Habitable Exoplanet Observatory. This method is applicable to any other systems and high contrast direct imaging instruments, and could help inform future imaging observations and data analysis on the discovery of new exoplanets.

description: Prior literature has suggested that prison programs can influence the prevalence of disciplinary infractions in correctional facilities. However, there is less understanding of how the race and ethnicity of program participants may impact this relationship. The current study tests the relationship between prison program participation and misconduct, including how participation in different program categories and participant race and ethnicity are differentially associated with misconduct, using data from the Survey of Inmates in State Correctional Facilities (2004). Findings suggest that overall, participation in most forms of programming is associated with a higher likelihood of prison misconduct, with the exception of religious program participation. Tests comparing coefficients for black, Latino, and white participants across logistic regression models revealed no significant differences in how educational, vocational, and religious program participation relates to prison misconduct. Future research should evaluate time-series data to better account for temporal ordering and also examine how race and ethnicity might impact the relationship between other forms of prison programming and disciplinary infractions.
The application of floating breakwaters in British Columbia
Creators: name: Byres, Ronald David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The nature of British Columbia coastal and inland waterways affords many locations where floating breakwaters are or could be used to protect small-craft harbours from wave action. A field survey of many of the current breakwater sites is undertaken in order to establish qualitative performance criteria of various designs. A two-dimensional numerical model is developed to predict the oscillatory response and wave transmission characteristics for a number of common breakwater designs. Finally, experiments with two configurations of breakwater models were carried out in the Hydraulics Laboratory at the University of British Columbia. The experiments were designed to validate the numerical model and to estimate viscous damping coefficients required in the numerical solution.

description: This is an extended version of the previous paper arXiv:2103.05303 to study entanglement entropy (EE) of a half space in interacting field theories. In the previous paper, we have proposed a novel method to calculate EE based on the notion of $\mathbb{Z}_M$ gauge theory on Feynman diagrams, and shown that EE consists of two particular contributions, one from a renormalized two-point correlation function in the two-particle irreducible (2PI) formalism and another from interaction vertices. In this paper, we further investigate them in more general field theories and show that the non-Gaussian contributions from vertices can be interpreted as renormalized correlation functions of composite operators.

description: The Neural Virtual Machine (NVM) is a novel neurocomputational architecturedesigned to emulate the functionality of a traditional computer. A version of the NVM called NVM-RL supports reinforcement learning based on standard policy gradient methods as a mechanism for performing neural program induction. In this thesis, I modified NVM-RL using one of the most popular reinforcement learning algorithms, proximal policy optimization (PPO). Surprisingly, using PPO with the existing all-or-nothing reward function did not improve its effectiveness. However, I found that PPO did improve the performance of the existing NVM-RL if one instead used a reward function that grants partial credit for incorrect outputs based on how much those incorrect outputs differ from the correct targets. I conclude that, in some situations, PPO can improve the performance of reinforcement learning during program induction, but that this improvement is dependent on the quality of the reward function that is used.

description: In this paper, we study the role of the symmetry energy on the neutron-drip transition in both nonaccreting and accreting neutron stars, allowing for the presence of a strong magnetic field as in magnetars. The density, pressure, and composition at the neutron-drip threshold are determined using the recent set of the Brussels-Montreal microscopic nuclear mass models, which mainly differ in their predictions for the value of the symmetry energy $J$ and its slope $L$ in infinite homogeneous nuclear matter at saturation. Although some correlations between on the one hand the neutron-drip density, the pressure, the proton fraction and on the other hand $J$ (or equivalently $L$) are found, these correlations are radically different in nonaccreting and accreting neutron stars. In particular, the neutron-drip density is found to increase with $L$ in the former case, but decreases in the latter case depending on the composition of ashes from x-ray bursts and superbursts. We have qualitatively explained these different behaviors using a simple mass formula. We have also shown that the details of the nuclear structure may play a more important role than the symmetry energy in accreting neutron-star crusts.

description: Restoring urban degraded stream channels in efforts to improve water quality often includes substantial alteration of the riparian zone which can require the removal of mature trees. This study assessed the impact of tree removal on riparian groundwater quality over time and space using a chronosequence of restored sites ages 5-20 years and well transects along groundwater flow paths. The response of multiple elements through various hydrologic conditions was evaluated by monitoring dissolved concentrations of inorganic carbon, organic carbon, total nitrogen, boron, calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, and sulfur over a 2-year period. Results revealed that concentrations of most bioreactive and organically derived elements were significantly elevated and increase along flowpaths at recently restored sites.
