description: We investigate the limits on cooling and work extraction via Markovian thermal processes assisted by a finite-dimensional memory. Here the memory is a $d$-dimensional quantum system with trivial Hamiltonian and initially in a maximally mixed state. For cooling a qubit system, we consider two paradigms: cooling under coherent control and cooling under incoherent control. For both paradigms, we derive the optimal ground-state populations under the set of general thermal processes (TP) and the set of Markovian thermal processes (MTP), and we further propose memory-assisted protocols, which bridge the gap between the performances of TP and MTP. For the task of work extraction, we prove that when the target system is a qubit in the excited state the minimum extraction error achieved by TP can be approximated by Markovian thermal processes assisted by a large enough memory. Our results can bridge the performances of TP and MTP in thermodynamic tasks including cooling and work extraction.

description: To be widely adopted, 3D facial avatars must be animated easily, realistically, and directly from speech signals. While the best recent methods generate 3D animations that are synchronized with the input audio, they largely ignore the impact of emotions on facial expressions. Realistic facial animation requires lip-sync together with the natural expression of emotion. To that end, we propose EMOTE (Expressive Model Optimized for Talking with Emotion), which generates 3D talking-head avatars that maintain lip-sync from speech while enabling explicit control over the expression of emotion. To achieve this, we supervise EMOTE with decoupled losses for speech (i.e., lip-sync) and emotion. These losses are based on two key observations: (1) deformations of the face due to speech are spatially localized around the mouth and have high temporal frequency, whereas (2) facial expressions may deform the whole face and occur over longer intervals. Thus, we train EMOTE with a per-frame lip-reading loss to preserve the speech-dependent content, while supervising emotion at the sequence level. Furthermore, we employ a content-emotion exchange mechanism in order to supervise different emotions on the same audio, while maintaining the lip motion synchronized with the speech. To employ deep perceptual losses without getting undesirable artifacts, we devise a motion prior in the form of a temporal VAE. Due to the absence of high-quality aligned emotional 3D face datasets with speech, EMOTE is trained with 3D pseudo-ground-truth extracted from an emotional video dataset (i.e., MEAD). Extensive qualitative and perceptual evaluations demonstrate that EMOTE produces speech-driven facial animations with better lip-sync than state-of-the-art methods trained on the same data, while offering additional, high-quality emotional control.

description: Handwriting recognition remains challenging for some of the most spoken languages, like Bangla, due to the complexity of line and word segmentation brought by the curvilinear nature of writing and lack of quality datasets. This paper solves the segmentation problem by introducing a state-of-the-art method (BN-DRISHTI) that combines a deep learning-based object detection framework (YOLO) with Hough and Affine transformation for skew correction. However, training deep learning models requires a massive amount of data. Thus, we also present an extended version of the BN-HTRd dataset comprising 786 full-page handwritten Bangla document images, line and word-level annotation for segmentation, and corresponding ground truths for word recognition. Evaluation on the test portion of our dataset resulted in an F-score of 99.97% for line and 98% for word segmentation. For comparative analysis, we used three external Bangla handwritten datasets, namely BanglaWriting, WBSUBNdb_text, and ICDAR 2013, where our system outperformed by a significant margin, further justifying the performance of our approach on completely unseen samples.

description: Past sea level changes and geological instability along watershed boundaries have largely influenced fish distribution across coastal basins, either by dispersal via palaeodrainages now submerged or by headwater captures, respectively. Accordingly, the South American Atlantic coast encompasses several small and isolated drainages that share a similar species composition, representing a suitable model to infer historical processes. Leporinus bahiensis is a freshwater fish species widespread along adjacent coastal basins over narrow continental shelf with no evidence of palaeodrainage connections at low sea level periods. Therefore, this study aimed to reconstruct its evolutionary history to infer the role of headwater captures in the dispersal process. To accomplish this, we employed molecular-level phylogenetic and population structure analyses based on Sanger sequences (5 genes) and genome-wide SNP data. Phylogenetic trees based on Sanger data were inconclusive, but SNPs data did support the monophyletic status of L. bahiensis. Both COI and SNP data revealed structured populations according to each hydrographic basin. Species delimitation analyses revealed from 3 (COI) to 5 (multilocus approach) MOTUs, corresponding to the sampled basins. An intricate biogeographic scenario was inferred and supported by Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) analysis. Specifically, a staggered pattern was revealed and characterized by sequential headwater captures from basins adjacent to upland drainages into small coastal basins at different periods. These headwater captures resulted in dispersal throughout contiguous coastal basins, followed by deep genetic divergence among lineages. To decipher such recent divergences, as herein represented by L. bahiensis populations, we used genome-wide SNPs data. Indeed, the combined use of genome-wide SNPs data and ABC method allowed us to reconstruct the evolutionary history and speciation of L. bahiensis. This framework might be useful in disentangling the diversification process in other neotropical fishes subject to a reticulate geological history.

description: We have studied the conditions of rotation induced by collimated light carrying no angular momentum. Objects of different shapes and optical properties were examined in the nontrivial case where the rotation axis is perpendicular to the direction of light propagation. This geometry offers important advantages for application as it fundamentally broadens the possible practical arrangements to be realised. We found that collimated light cannot drive permanent rotation of 2D or prism-like 3D objects (i.e. fixed cross-sectional profile along the rotation axis) in the case of fully reflective or fully transparent materials. Based on both geometrical optics simulations and theoretical analysis, we derived a general condition for rotation induced by collimated light carrying no angular momentum valid for any arrangement: Permanent rotation is not possible if the scattering interaction is two-dimensional and lossless. In contrast, light induced rotation can be sustained if partial absorption is present or the object has specific true 3D geometry. We designed, simulated, fabricated, and experimentally tested a microscopic rotor capable of rotation around an axis perpendicular to the illuminating light.

description: We discuss closed-form formulas for the (n; k)-th partial Bell polynomials derived in Cvijovic. We show that partial Bell polynomials are special cases of weighted integer compositions, and demonstrate how the identities for partial Bell polynomials easily follow from more general identities for weighted integer compositions. We also provide short and elegant probabilistic proofs of the latter, in terms of sums of discrete integer-valued random variables. Finally, we outline further identities for the partial Bell polynomials.

description: Pruning deep neural networks is a widely used strategy to alleviate the computational burden in machine learning. Overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that pruned models retain very high accuracy even with a tiny fraction of parameters. However, relatively little work has gone into characterising the small pruned networks obtained, beyond a measure of their accuracy. In this paper, we use the sparse double descent approach to identify univocally and characterise pruned models associated with classification tasks. We observe empirically that, for a given task, iterative magnitude pruning (IMP) tends to converge to networks of comparable sizes even when starting from full networks with sizes ranging over orders of magnitude. We analyse the best pruned models in a controlled experimental setup and show that their number of parameters reflects task difficulty and that they are much better than full networks at capturing the true conditional probability distribution of the labels. On real data, we similarly observe that pruned models are less prone to overconfident predictions. Our results suggest that pruned models obtained via IMP not only have advantageous computational properties but also provide a better representation of uncertainty in learning.

description: Variable star analysis and classification is an important task in the understanding of stellar features and processes. While historically classifications have been done manually by highly skilled experts, the recent and rapid expansion in the quantity and quality of data has demanded new techniques, most notably automatic classification through supervised machine learning. We present an expansion of existing work on the field by analyzing variable stars in the {\em Kepler} field using an ensemble approach, combining multiple characterization and classification techniques to produce improved classification rates. Classifications for each of the roughly 150,000 stars observed by {\em Kepler} are produced separating the stars into one of 14 variable star classes.

description: Some Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication links particularly those in a industrial automation plant have stringent latency requirements. In this paper, we study the delay-performance for the M2M uplink from the sensors to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) in a industrial automation scenario. The uplink traffic can be broadly classified as either Periodic Update (PU) and Event Driven (ED). The PU arrivals from different sensors are periodic, synchronized by the PLC and need to be processed by a prespecified firm latency deadline. On the other hand, the ED arrivals are random, have low-arrival rate, but may need to be processed quickly depending upon the criticality of the application. To accommodate these contrasting Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements, we model the utility of PU and ED packets using step function and sigmoidal functions of latency respectively. Our goal is to maximize the overall system utility while being proportionally fair to both PU and ED data. To this end, we propose a novel online QoS-aware packet scheduler that gives priority to ED data as long as that results the latency deadline is met for PU data. However as the size of networks increases, we drop the PU packets that fail to meet latency deadline which reduces congestion and improves overall system utility. Using extensive simulations, we compare the performance of our scheme with various scheduling policies such as First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS), Earliest-Due-Date (EDD) and (preemptive) priority. We show that our scheme outperforms the existing schemes for various simulation scenarios.

description: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) exists in two major forms, the so-called classical type (cHL) and the nodular lymphocyte predominant type (NLPHL). Since NLPHL is considered to be an EBV-negative entity, this review focusses only on the cHL form. Although cHL is a curable disease in many cases, we still lack an understanding of its pathogenesis that could lead to kinder treatments for patients, and also to more effective therapies for the smaller subset of patients who are destined to die of their disease. One approach might be to therapeutically target the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is present in up to one-half of cases in resource rich nations, and in almost all cases in some resource-poor countries. However, it has been suggested that EBV might be simply a silent passenger in cHL. In this review, we present evidence in support of a crucial role for EBV in virus-positive cHL. In particular, we highlight important epidemiological differences between EBV-positive and EBV-negative cHL that suggest different aetiologies, as well as genetic differences, including a different profile of somatic mutations pointing to a distinct contribution for EBV in substituting for cellular genetic changes that are required for disease development when the virus is absent. We also focus attention on important roles for the individual latent virus genes in the pathogenesis of cHL. Overall, this review suggests that a better understanding of how EBV contributes to the pathogenesis of cHL may eventually lead to improved stratification of patients and to the development of therapies that specifically target EBV or its latent genes.

Figs. 2C, 3A.
 Type locality: Quarry near Rubies, La Pedrera de Meià fossil site, Sta. Maria de Meià, Sierra del Montsec, Lleida Province, Spain.
 Stratigraphic horizon: Calcaires lithographiques à Plantes et Vértébres de la Pedrera de Rubies Fm., Lower Cretaceous, Barremian (Martín−Closas and López−Morón 1995).
 Derivation of the name: After the long head of this species.
 Material.— Holotype IEI LP 0164 G, only the part.
 Diagnosis.—Distinct from Cionocoleus magicus Ren, 1995 in elongate elytra, but without acuminate apex like in C. sibirica Ponomarenko, 2000. From C. ommamimus Ponomarenko, 1997 differs in the ratio between abdominal ventrites and length of the head.
 Description.—Measurements: length 19.0 mm; width 7.0 mm; elytra length 13.0 mm. Body rather large and elongate, general shape almost subcylindrical. Head transverse, about two times as wide as long without mandibles; genae as long as eyes, temples rounded and two times shorter than eyes. Mandibles with teeth in vertical plane. Antennae moniliform, antennomeres rounded somewhat wider at posterior edge. Eyes comparatively large and convex. Neck−like constriction not distinct. Pronotum elongate and narrowed towards base and apex, about 1.3 times as long as wide, somewhat wider than head, lateral margins serrate, anterior and posterior angles rounded. Procoxae rounded and contiguous. Mesosternum transverse, about 2.5 times as wide as long. Metasternum 1.3 times as wide as long at its posterior margin, with well expressed transverse and longitudinal sutures. Abdomen with 5 visible ventrites, last ventrite about 1.2 times longer than previous one. Elytra about 3.3 times as long as wide, and almost parallel−sided, epipleura comparatively narrow. Cells on elytra not visible. Profemora somewhat widened posteriorly at its medial length, almost as long as protibiae. Body densely covered with tubercles, larger on head and pronotum, and quite smaller in abdomen.
 Discussion.—This beetle is similar to beetles of the genus Omma Ponomarenko, 1969 in almost all characters, except for smooth elytra. Cionocoleus was described by isolated elytra (Ren 1995), and Ponomarenko (1997) placed this genus into Cupedidae, but because of the lack of preservation of the fore coxae was not possible to assign it to any subfamily. The new material from the fossil sites of Spain allows to place this genera in the subfamily Ommatinae, tribe Ommatini, by the presence contiguous fore coxae, not divided by any process.

description: Using archive data from the Millimeter Astronomy Legacy Team Survey at 90 GHz (MALT90), carried out using the Mopra 22-m telescope, we made the first multi-transition molecular line study of infrared dark cloud (IRDC) MSXDC G331.71+00.59. Two molecular cores were found embedded in this IRDC. Each of these cores is associated with a known extended green object (EGO), indicating places of massive star formation. The HCO+ (1-0) and HNC (1-0) transitions show prominent blue or red asymmetric structures, suggesting outflow and inflow activities of young stellar objects (YSOs). Other detected molecular lines include H13CO+ (1-0), C2H (1-0), HC3N (10-9), HNCO(404-303) and SiO (2-1), which are typical of hot cores and outflows. We regard the two EGOs as evolving from the IRDC to hot cores. Using public GLIMPS data, we investigate the spectral energy distribution of EGO G331.71+0.60. Our results support this EGO being a massive YSO driving the outflow. G331.71+0.58 may be at an earlier evolutionary stage.

description: Precisely recommending candidate news articles to users has always been a core challenge for personalized news recommendation systems. Most recent works primarily focus on using advanced natural language processing techniques to extract semantic information from rich textual data, employing content-based methods derived from local historical news. However, this approach lacks a global perspective, failing to account for users' hidden motivations and behaviors beyond semantic information. To address this challenge, we propose a novel model called GLORY (Global-LOcal news Recommendation sYstem), which combines global representations learned from other users with local representations to enhance personalized recommendation systems. We accomplish this by constructing a Global-aware Historical News Encoder, which includes a global news graph and employs gated graph neural networks to enrich news representations, thereby fusing historical news representations by a historical news aggregator. Similarly, we extend this approach to a Global Candidate News Encoder, utilizing a global entity graph and a candidate news aggregator to enhance candidate news representation. Evaluation results on two public news datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches. Furthermore, our model offers more diverse recommendations.

description: We study the Lambert series $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty k^s q^{k x}/(1-q^k)$, for all $s \in \mathbb{C}$. We obtain the complete asymptotic expansion of $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x)$ near $q=1$. Our analysis of the Lambert series yields the asymptotic forms for several related q-functions: the q-gamma and q-polygamma functions, the q-Pochhammer symbol, and, in closed form, the Jacobi theta functions. Some typical results include $Γ_2(\frac{1}{4}) Γ_2(\frac{3}{4}) \simeq \frac{2^{13/32} π}{\log 2}$ and $\vartheta_4 (0,e^{-1/π}) \simeq 2 πe^{-π^3\!/4}$, with relative errors of order $10^{-25}$ and $10^{-27}$ respectively.

description: Normally in superconductors, as in conductors, in the state with zero current $I$ the momentum of superconducting electrons $\hbar q =0$. Here we demonstrate theoretically and present experimental evidences that in superconducting/normal metal (SN) hybrid strip placed in in-plane magnetic field $B_{in}$ finite momentum state ($\hbar q \neq 0$) is realized when $I=0$. This state is characterized by current-momentum dependence $I(q)\neq -I(-q)$, nonreciprocal kinetic inductance $L_k(I) \neq L_k(-I)$ and different values of depairing currents $I_{dep}^{\pm}$ flowing along the SN strip in opposite directions. Found properties have {\it orbital} nature and are originated from gradient of density of superconducting electrons $\nabla n$ across the thickness of SN strip and field induced Meissner currents. We argue that this type of finite momentum state should be rather general phenomena in superconducting structures with artificial or intrinsic inhomogeneities.

description: Depuis plus de dix ans, la check-list «Sécurité du patient au bloc opératoire fait partie du quotidien des professionnels travaillant dans les salles interventionnelles des établissements français. « Bien réalisée », elle améliore le travail en équipe et la sécurité des patients, et notamment la prévention et la récupération des événements indésirables associés aux soins. Elle concourt à améliorer la culture de sécurité des professionnels et par là même la qualité de vie au travail. Pourtant, malgré son apparente simplicité d’utilisation, elle reste un outil difficile à mettre en œuvre dans la routine, avec des problématiques de réalisation collective et d’investissement des professionnels, qui y voient, malgré les preuves de son efficacité, une contrainte administrative supplémentaire. Les professionnels du bloc opératoire ont encore du mal à l’utiliser correctement et à maintenir un enthousiasme durable. Ces constats ont conduit la Haute Autorité de santé à revoir sa politique en la matière afin d’« adapter la check-list pour (mieux) l’adopter ». Elle considère toujours comme non négociable la vérification croisée des informations essentielles avant, pendant et après toute intervention, mais elle laisse désormais toute latitude (et responsabilité) aux sociétés savantes et aux équipes de soin pour y parvenir. Cet article basé sur une revue narrative de la littérature présente les forces, faiblesses, menaces et opportunités de la check-list en vue d’accompagner la réflexion menée par les professionnels dans le cadre de cette refonte de son utilisation. Il est essentiel que les leaders actuels et futurs des disciplines intervenant au bloc opératoire s’emparent de ce sujet, tant au niveau des sociétés savantes qu’au bloc, car la sécurité du patient reste le parent pauvre des études médicales.
Higher molecular $P_{ψs}^{Λ/Σ}$ pentaquarks arising from the $Ξ_c^{(\prime,*)}\bar D_1/Ξ_c^{(\prime,*)}\bar D_2^*$ interactions

description: The discoveries of the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4459)$ and $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ as the potential $Ξ_c\bar D^{(*)}$ molecules have sparked our curiosity in exploring a novel class of molecular $P_{ψs}^{Λ/Σ}$ pentaquarks. In this study, we carry out an investigation into the higher molecular pentaquarks, specifically focusing on the $P_{ψs}^{Λ/Σ}$ states arising from the $Ξ_c^{(\prime,*)}\bar D_1/Ξ_c^{(\prime,*)}\bar D_2^*$ interactions. Our approach employs the one-boson-exchange model, incorporating both the $S$-$D$ wave mixing effect and the coupled channel effect. Our numerical results suggest that the $Ξ_c\bar D_1$ states with $I(J^P)=0({1}/{2}^+,\,{3}/{2}^+)$, the $Ξ_c\bar D_2^*$ states with $I(J^P)=0({3}/{2}^+,\,{5}/{2}^+)$, the $Ξ_c^{\prime}\bar D_1$ states with $I(J^P)=0({1}/{2}^+,\,{3}/{2}^+)$, the $Ξ_c^{\prime}\bar D_2^*$ states with $I(J^P)=0({3}/{2}^+,\,{5}/{2}^+)$, the $Ξ_c^{*}\bar D_1$ states with $I(J^P)=0({1}/{2}^+,\,{3}/{2}^+,\,{5}/{2}^+)$, and the $Ξ_c^{*}\bar D_2^*$ states with $I(J^P)=0({1}/{2}^+,\,{3}/{2}^+,\,{5}/{2}^+,\,{7}/{2}^+)$ can be recommended as the most promising molecular $P_{ψs}^Λ$ pentaquark candidates, and there may exist the potential molecular $P_{ψs}^Σ$ pentaquark candidates for several isovector $Ξ_c^{(\prime,*)}\bar D_1/Ξ_c^{(\prime,*)}\bar D_2^*$ states. With the higher statistical data accumulation at the LHCb's Run II and Run III status, there is the possibility that our predicted $P_{ψs}^{Λ/Σ}$ states can be detected through the weak decay of the $Ξ_b$ baryon, especially in hunting for the predicted $P_{ψs}^Λ$ states.

description: This very updated 2nd draft applies the fact that Dh="force, strength", as I figured out recently; "force" led to "wind; to blow; breath", so the root-meaning was not "to flow", instead ""force" led to "to run, to flow, to push, to blast" and from there to "water", "wind", "breath" (note that many of the breath words from *Dh- involve heavy breathing, panting and blowing, puffing: I cite some examples of that, but there are more that I didn't cite). There is no "water" nor "to flow" meaning involved with the root *dhew which meant "to strangle, smother, choke, kill, crush" instead that derives from "force>to crush, smother, strangle, choke>to kill, slay". Phrygian Daos "wolf" may derive from "to strangle, kill" or it may be cognate to Albanian Dak="big ram" and in any case, the different roots involved are kindred roots, which derive from Dh="force, strength" as explained in this paper. In this work I show how even PIE *dhwer, "door, opening, entrance" most certainly derives from "force". The name of the Daki/Daoi most likely derives from "strong, mighty" not from "stranglers, smotherers, slayers", but I explain using examples such as Ancient Greek Thuo that polysemy was inherent in these Dh- roots, so Daki/Daoi may have included both "strong, mighty" and "slayers", but "slayers" I'm pretty sure was secondary or tertiary. Illyrian Deuadai which meant "satyrs" proves much of what I said in the first draft, but the first draft had that error about "to flow" which I correct in this draft.
A multiwavelength study of the star forming H II region Sh2-82

description: Based on a multiwavelength study, the interstellar medium and young stellar objects (YSOs) around the HII region Sh2-82 have been analyzed. Two molecular clumps were found from the archival data of the Galactic Ring Survey, and using the Two Micron All-Sky Survey catalog, we found two corresponding young clusters embedded in the molecular clumps. The very good relations between CO emission, infrared shells and YSOs suggest that it is probably a triggered star formation region from the expansion of Sh2-82. We further used the data from the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire from Spitzer to study the YSOs within the two clumps, confirming star formation in this region. By spectral energy distribution fits to each YSO candidate with infrared excess, we derived the slope of the initial mass function. Finally, comparing the HII region's dynamical age and the fragmentation time of the molecular shell, we discard the "collect and collapse" process as being the triggering mechanism for YSO formation. Sh2-82 can be a mixture of other processes such as radiative-driven implosion and/or collisions with pre-existing clumps.
