description: GPU computing is expected to play an integral part in all modern Exascale supercomputers. It is also expected that higher order Godunov schemes will make up about a significant fraction of the application mix on such supercomputers. It is, therefore, very important to prepare the community of users of higher order schemes for hyperbolic PDEs for this emerging opportunity. We focus on three broad and high-impact areas where higher order Godunov schemes are used. The first area is computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The second is computational magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) which has an involution constraint that has to be mimetically preserved. The third is computational electrodynamics (CED) which has involution constraints and also extremely stiff source terms. Together, these three diverse uses of higher order Godunov methodology, cover many of the most important applications areas. In all three cases, we show that the optimal use of algorithms, techniques and tricks, along with the use of OpenACC, yields superlative speedups on GPUs! As a bonus, we find a most remarkable and desirable result: some higher order schemes, with their larger operations count per zone, show better speedup than lower order schemes on GPUs. In other words, the GPU is an optimal stratagem for overcoming the higher computational complexities of higher order schemes! Several avenues for future improvement have also been identified. A scalability study is presented for a real-world application using GPUs and comparable numbers of high-end multicore CPUs. It is found that GPUs offer a substantial performance benefit over comparable number of CPUs, especially when all the methods designed in this paper are used.

description: We analyze whether and how the neutron resonance mode in unconventional superconductors is affected by higher order corrections in the coupling between spin excitations and fermionic quasiparticles and find that in general such corrections cannot be ignored. In particular, we find that in two spatial dimensions (d=2) the corrections are of same order as the leading, weak coupling contributions demonstrating that the neutron resonance mode in unconventional superconductors is a strong coupling phenomenon. The origin of this behavior lies in the quantum-critical nature of the low energy spin dynamics in the superconducting state and the feedback of the resonance mode onto the fermionic excitations. While quantum critical fluctuations occur in any dimensionality smaller than the upper critical dimension d_{uc}=3, they can be analyzed in a controlled fashion by means of the ε-expansion (ε=3-d), such that the leading corrections to the resonance mode position are small. Regardless of the strong coupling nature of the resonance mode we show that it emerges only if the phase of the superconducting gap function varies on the Fermi surface, making it a powerful tool to investigate the microscopic structure of the pair condensate.

description: This paper tests how effectively the bound states of strongly interacting gauge theories are amenable to an emergent description as a thermal ensemble. This description can be derived from a conjectured minimum free energy principle, with the entanglement entropy of two-parton subsystems playing the role of thermodynamic entropy. This allows us to calculate the ground state hadron spectrum and wavefunction over a wide range of parton masses without solving the Schrödinger equation. We carry out this analysis for certain illustrative models in 1+1 dimensions and discuss prospects for higher dimensions.

description: Conformal blocks are a central analytic tool for higher dimensional conformal field theory. We employ Harish-Chandra's radial component map to construct universal Casimir differential equations for spinning conformal blocks in any dimension $d$ of Euclidean space. Furthermore, we also build a set of differential ``shifting'' operators that allow to construct solutions of the Casimir equations from certain seeds. In the context of spinning four-point blocks of bulk conformal field theory, our formulas provide an elegant and far reaching generalisation of existing expressions to arbitrary tensor fields and arbitrary dimension $d$. The power of our new universal approach to spinning blocks is further illustrated through applications to defect conformal field theory. In the case of defects of co-dimension $q=2$ we are able to construct conformal blocks for two-point functions of symmetric traceless bulk tensor fields in both the defect and the bulk channel. This opens an interesting avenue for applications to the defect bootstrap. Finally, we also derive the Casimir equations for bulk-bulk-defect three-point functions in the bulk channel.

Impacts of magnetic permeability on electromagnetic data collected in settings with steel-cased wells

description: Electromagnetic methods are increasingly being applied in settings with steel infrastructure. These include applications such as monitoring of CO2 sequestration or even assessing the integrity of a wellbore. In this paper, we examine the impacts of the magnetic permeability of a steel-cased well on electromagnetic responses in grounded source experiments. We consider a vertical wellbore and simulate time and frequency domain data on 3D cylindrical meshes. Permeability slows the decay of surface electric fields in the time domain and contributes to a phase shift in the frequency domain. We develop our understanding of how permeability alters currents within, and external to, the casing by focussing first on the time domain response and translating insights to the frequency domain. Following others, we rewrite Maxwell's equations to separate the response into terms that describe the magnetization and induction effects. Magnetic permeability impacts the responses in two ways: (1) it enhances the inductive component of the response in the casing, and (2) it creates a magnetization current on the outer wall of the casing. The interaction of these two effects results in a poloidal current system within the casing. It also generates anomalous currents external to the casing that can alter the geometry and magnitude of currents in the surrounding geologic formation. This has the potential to be advantageous for enhancing responses in monitoring applications.

description: In order to study the pseudo entropy of time-like subregions holographically, the previous smooth space-like extremal surface was recently generalized to mix space-like and time-like segments and the area becomes complex value. This paper finds that, if one tries to use such kind of piecewise smooth extremal surfaces to compute time-like entanglement entropy holographically, the complex area is not unique in general. We then generalize the original holographic proposal of space-like entanglement entropy to pick up a unique area from all allowed ``space-like+time-like'' piecewise smooth extremal surfaces for a time-like subregion. We will give some concrete examples to show the correctness of our proposal.

description: We consider the dynamics of N bosons in one dimension. We assume that the pair interaction is attractive and given by N^{β-1}V(N^β\cdot) where \int V\leqslant 0. We develop new techniques in treating the N-body Hamiltonian so that we overcome the difficulties generated by the attractive interaction and establish new energy estimates. We also prove the optimal 1D collapsing estimate which reduces the regularity requirement in the uniqueness argument by half a derivative. We derive rigorously the one dimensional focusing cubic NLS with a quadratic trap as the N->\infty limit of the N-body dynamic and hence justify the mean-field limit and prove the propagation of chaos for the focusing quantum many-body system.

description: Smart grid is a combination of technologies that emerged in response to the rapid changes in the way humans generate, transfer, distribute and use energy. An important characteristic of smart grid is its improved reliability, enabled by better use of grid knowledge and the distribution of grid intelligence. Currently, utilities face new challenges in developing networks that can meet more stringent communication requirements while limiting cost and complexity. This study proposes a new software-based networking platform, based on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology, which aims to improve smart grid reliability by enabling more reliability-centred smart grid systems and by reacting immediately to communication problems while using real-time monitoring techniques. Using the principles of Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) and Machine-to-Machine Communication (M2M), this design aims to provide a more flexible and affordable approach to developing and maintaining large-scale grid communication networks while offering several features that improve grid reliability and performance. By using a topology based on a model of a real city distribution grid, this architecture was implemented in an emulated network environment. Results from the experimental evaluation show that these networks are easy to set up, maintain and scale using virtual machines. Furthermore, the results show that these networks can automatically detect and recover from several types of simulated communication failures without affecting smart grid operations. The results also demonstrate their capability to reduce network congestion. From these results, we conclude that software-based networking can offer promising design alternatives for smart distribution grids, capable of improving the grid’s overall reliability.

description: We propose a four-terminal device designed to manipulate by all electrical means the spin of a magnetic adatom positioned at the edge of a quantum spin Hall insulator. We show that an electrical gate, able to tune the interface resistance between a quantum spin Hall insulator and the source and drain electrodes, can switch the device between two regimes: one where the system exhibits spin pumping and the other where the adatom remains in its ground state. This demonstrates an all-electrical route to control single spins by exploiting helical edge states of topological materials.

description: This article tells the story of al-Mujāhid’s turbulent reign, which occurred during the decline of Rasulid power. Emphasis is placed on the kidnapping episode, which marked a turning point in Rasulid/Mamluk relations after a century-long conflict over influence in Mecca. In 751/1351 the Rasulid sultan al-Malik al-Mujāhid ʿAlī of Yemen made his second pilgrimage to Mecca. His intent was to replace the ruling Meccan sharif, ʿAjlān, with Thaqabah; both were sons of the recently deceased al-Rumaythah. ʿAjlān convinced the Mamluk forces accompanying the pilgrims from Egypt to kidnap al-Mujāhid and take him to Cairo. The Rasulid sultan was eventually imprisoned in al-Karak and only returned to Yemen after fourteen months outside his realm. Three differing sets of sources (Rasulid, Mamluk, and Meccan) are compared to piece together the kidnapping and its aftermath. This extraordinary diplomatic event happened to a sultan who came to power at age 15 and faced rebellion from the start, even though his rule extended over a period of 42 years.

description: Basso-Dixon integrals evaluate rectangular fishnets -- Feynman graphs with massless scalar propagators which form a $m\times n$ rectangular grid -- which arise in certain one-trace four-point correlators in the `fishnet' limit of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. Recently, Basso {\it et al} explored the thermodynamical limit $m\to\infty$ with fixed aspect ratio $n/m$ of a rectangular fishnet and showed that in general the dependence on the coordinates of the four operators is erased, but it reappears in a scaling limit with two of the operators getting close in a controlled way. In this note I investigate the most general double scaling limit which describes the thermodynamics when one of two pairs of operators become nearly light-like. In this double scaling limit, the rectangular fishnet depends on both coordinate cross ratios. I show that all singular limits of the fishnet can be attained within the double scaling limit, including the null limit with the four points approaching the cusps of a null square. A direct evaluation of the fishnet in the null limit is presented any $m$ and $n$.

description: Reliable application of machine learning-based decision systems in the wild is one of the major challenges currently investigated by the field. A large portion of established approaches aims to detect erroneous predictions by means of assigning confidence scores. This confidence may be obtained by either quantifying the model's predictive uncertainty, learning explicit scoring functions, or assessing whether the input is in line with the training distribution. Curiously, while these approaches all state to address the same eventual goal of detecting failures of a classifier upon real-life application, they currently constitute largely separated research fields with individual evaluation protocols, which either exclude a substantial part of relevant methods or ignore large parts of relevant failure sources. In this work, we systematically reveal current pitfalls caused by these inconsistencies and derive requirements for a holistic and realistic evaluation of failure detection. To demonstrate the relevance of this unified perspective, we present a large-scale empirical study for the first time enabling benchmarking confidence scoring functions w.r.t all relevant methods and failure sources. The revelation of a simple softmax response baseline as the overall best performing method underlines the drastic shortcomings of current evaluation in the abundance of publicized research on confidence scoring.

description: In this paper, a non-invasive inductive link model for an Implantable Biomedical Microsystems (IBMs) such as, a pacemaker to monitor Arrhythmic Patients (APs) in Body Area Networks (BANs) is proposed. The model acts as a driving source to keep the batteries charged, inside a device called, pacemaker. The device monitors any drift from natural human heart beats, a condition of arrythmia and also in turn, produces electrical pulses that create forced rhythms that, matches with the original normal heart rhythms. It constantly sends a medical report to the health center to keep the medical personnel aware of the patient's conditions and let them handle any critical condition, before it actually happens. Two equivalent models are compared by carrying the simulations, based on the parameters of voltage gain and link efficiency. Results depict that the series tuned primary and parallel tuned secondary circuit achieves the best results for both the parameters, keeping in view the constraint of coupling co-efficient (k), which should be less than a value \emph{0.45} as, desirable for the safety of body tissues.

description: When searching for anomalous chiral effects in heavy-ion collisions, one of the most crucial points is the relationship between the signal and the background. In this letter, we present a simulation in a modified blast wave model at LHC energy, which can simultaneously characterize the majority of measurable quantities, in particular, the chiral magnetic effect (CME) and the chiral magnetic wave (CMW) observables. Such a universal description, for the first time, naturally and quantitatively unifies the CME and the CMW studies and brings to light the connection with the local charge conservation (LCC) background. Moreover, a simple phenomenological approach is performed to introduce the signals, aiming at quantifying the maximum allowable strength of the signals within experimental precision. Such a constraint provides a novel perspective to understand the experimental data and sheds new light on the study of anomalous chiral effects as well as charge dependent correlations.

The scale-invariant and CP-symmetric Higgs potential generates radiative electroweak symmetry breaking a la Coleman-Weinberg, and gives a natural solution to the hierarchy problem, free from fine-tuning. Besides the 125GeV SM-like Higgs particle, it predicts a new CP-even Higgs (serving as the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of scale symmetry breaking) and a CP-odd scalar singlet (providing the dark matter candidate) at weak scale. We systematically analyze experimental constraints from direct LHC Higgs searches and electroweak precision tests, as well as theoretical bounds from unitarity, triviality and vacuum stability. We demonstrate the viable parameter space, and discuss implications for new Higgs and dark matter (DM) searches at the upcoming LHC runs and for the on-going direct detections of DM.

description: Two different approaches to analysis of data from diagnostic biomarker studies are commonly employed. Logistic regression is used to fit models for probability of disease given marker values, while ROC curves and risk distributions are used to evaluate classification performance. In this paper we present a method that simultaneously accomplishes both tasks. The key step is to standardize markers relative to the nondiseased population before including them in the logistic regression model. Among the advantages of this method are the following: (i) ensuring that results from regression and performance assessments are consistent with each other; (ii) allowing covariate adjustment and covariate effects on ROC curves to be handled in a familiar way, and (iii) providing a mechanism to incorporate important assumptions about structure in the ROC curve into the fitted risk model. We develop the method in detail for the problem of combining biomarker data sets derived from multiple studies, populations or biomarker measurement platforms, when ROC curves are similar across data sources. The methods are applicable to both cohort and case-control sampling designs. The data set motivating this application concerns Prostate Cancer Antigen 3 (PCA3) for diagnosis of prostate cancer in patients with or without previous negative biopsy where the ROC curves for PCA3 are found to be the same in the two populations. The estimated constrained maximum likelihood and empirical likelihood estimators are derived. The estimators are compared in simulation studies and the methods are illustrated with the PCA3 data set.

description: The complete Glauber calculation of the differential cross sections of $^{12}$C--$^{12}$C and halo nuclei on $^{12}$C scattering was performed using the previously proposed in Refs.~\cite{Shabelski:2021iqk, Shabelski:2022xkw} method of generating function. The results are different as compared with the similar calculations in the optical model and the rigid target approximation. The halo nuclei radii extracted from the scattering data via the complete Glauber analysis come out to be larger than those obtained in the approximate approaches

description: Ο σκοπός της παρούσας κλινικής αναδρομικής μελέτης είναι η παρουσίαση των αποτελεσμάτων όσον αφορά την βελτίωση της βέλτιστα διορθωμένης οπτικής οξύτητας, της εικόνας στην οπτική τομογραφία συνοχής, της πρόσθιας επιφανείας από την ενδοϋαλοειδική χρήση Brolucizumab καθώς και την περιγραφή των πιθανών παρενεργειών ή και επιπλοκών αυτής της θεραπείας. Τα ευρήματα της κλινικής αναδρομικής μελέτης μας αποδεικνύουν ότι η αποτελεσματικότητα της ενδοϋαλοειδικής θεραπείας με Brolucizumab είναι υψηλή, τόσο στην νεοαγγειακή ηλικιακή εκφύλιση της ωχράς κηλίδας, όσο και στο διαβητικό οίδημα της ωχράς. Ιδιαίτερα αν ληφθεί υπόψιν και η προηγούμενη φτωχή ανταπόκριση αυτών των ασθενών στους άλλους αντιαγγειογενετικούς παράγοντες, δεδομένου ότι όλοι οι ασθενείς της μελέτης μας, προέρχονται από εναλλαγή φαρμακευτικού παράγοντα. Ενώ ο απαιτούμενος αριθμός εγχύσεων είναι μικρότερος έναντι των άλλων δύο αντιαγγειογενετικών παραγόντων. Επίσης, υπάρχει μια θετική επίδραση και στην πρόσθια επιφάνεια, μειώνοντας την πιθανή φλεγμονή και σταθεροποιώντας την δακρυϊκή στιβάδα. Τέλος, όσον αφορά την ασφάλεια, η θεραπεία είναι περίπου στα ίδια επίπεδα ασφαλείας με τους υπόλοιπους αντιαγγειογενετικούς παράγοντες.
description: The purpose of this clinical retrospective study is to present the results regarding the improvement of optimally corrected visual acuity, the image in the optical coherence tomography, the anterior surface from the intravitreal use of Brolucizumab as well as the description of the possible side effects or complications of this treatment. The findings of our clinical retrospective study demonstrate that the efficacy of intravitreal treatment with Brolucizumab is high, both in neovascular age-related macular degeneration and in diabetic macular edema. Especially if the previous poor response of these patients to the other antiangiogenic agents is taken into account, since all the patients in our study come from switching medicinal agents. While the required number of injections is less compared to the other two anti-angiogenic agents. There is also a positive effect on the anterior surface, reducing possible inflammation and stabilizing the tear film. Finally, in terms of safety, the treatment is approximately at the same safety levels as other antiangiogenic agents.

description: The telecommunication industry has been experiencing an increase in traffic demand and diversity. This has pushed the industry to be more efficient, adopting solutions like network function virtualization (NFV) and cloudification. However, in order for the industry to benefit from these solutions, existing communication technologies need to be re-engineered. When implementing NFV, the manner of virtualization and the virtualization technologies employed need to be considered. On the other hand, when moving to the cloud, the cloud native principles need to be properly adopted. In this study, we look at the cloud principle of clustering and adapt the micro-services approach in order to satisfy the other cloud native principles. We then consider the benefits and overheads of micro-services, which we conclude to be affected by the level of network function (NF) decomposition, fine or coarse grained. We then identify that the efficient level of decomposition depends on the NFs’ components hence on type individual network function. Lastly, with careful consideration of the virtualization technology and manner, clustering and load balancing techniques, we present a cloud native micro-services architecture that supports different levels of virtual NFs decomposition for efficient performance.

description: The electrochemical growth of Au nanowires in a template of nano-porous anodic aluminum oxide was investigated in situ by means of grazing-incidence transmission small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (GTSAXS and GTWAXS), x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and 2-dimensional surface optical reflectance (2D-SOR). The XRF and the overall intensity of the GTWAXS patterns as a function of time were used to monitor the progress of the electrodeposition. Furthermore, we extracted powder diffraction patterns in the direction of growth and in the direction of confinement to follow the evolution of the direction-dependent strain. Quite rapidly after the beginning of the electrodeposition, the strain became tensile in the vertical direction and compressive in the horizontal direction, which showed that the lattice deformation of the nanostructures can be artificially varied by an appropriate choice of the deposition time. By alternating sequences of electrodeposition to sequences of rest, we observed fluctuations of the lattice parameter in the direction of growth, attributed to stress caused by electromigration.. Furthermore, the porous domain size calculated from the GTSAXS patterns was used to monitor how homogeneously the pores were filled.

description: We investigate several aspects of chiral symmetry in QCD at a temperature of $T = 128\,\text{MeV}$. The study is based on a $24\times 96^3$ lattice-QCD ensemble with O($a$)-improved Wilson quarks and physical up, down and strange quark masses. The pion quasiparticle turns out to be significantly lighter than the zero-temperature pion mass, even though the corresponding static correlation length is shorter. We perform a quantitative comparison of our findings to predictions of chiral perturbation theory. Among several order parameters for chiral symmetry restoration, we compute the difference of the vector- and axial-vector time-dependent correlators and find it to be reduced by a factor $\sim2/3$ as compared to its vacuum counterpart.

COMMENTS: Listed as a synonym of Cricetulus by Ellerman (1941), Ellerman and MorrisonScott (1951), and Corbet (1978c) and of Tscherskia by Carleton and Musser (1984) and Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987), but Cansumys does not belong with either of these. Its combination of pelage pattern, large body size, long tail, and high-crowned selenodont-like molars make it unique among cricetines (Ross, 1988).

Anisotropic Photon and Electron Scattering without Ultrarelativistic Approximation

description: Interactions between photons and electrons are ubiquitous in astrophysics. Photons can be down scattered (Compton scattering) or up scattered (inverse Compton scattering) by moving electrons. Inverse Compton scattering, in particular, is an essential process for the production of astrophysical gamma rays. Computations of inverse Compton emission typically adopts an isotropic or an ultrarelativistic assumption to simplify the calculation, which makes them unable to broadcast the formula to the whole phase space of source particles. In view of this, we develop a numerical scheme to compute the interactions between anisotropic photons and electrons without taking ultrarelativistic approximations. Compared to the ultrarelativistic limit, our exact results show major deviations when target photons are down scattered or when they possess energy comparable to source electrons. We also consider two test cases of high-energy inverse Compton emission to validate our results in the ultrarelativistic limit. In general, our formalism can be applied to cases of anisotropic electron-photon scattering in various energy regimes, and for computing the polarizations of the scattered photons.
