description: Image processing tools to detect human skin in visible band imagery have been well explored by many organizations, and approaches have been developed for many security and military applications. Visible cameras are limited to human skin detection during daylight or artificial illumination conditions, but the challenge of human skin detection during nighttime remains an ongoing research effort. The most challenging problems are to understand skin texture and to develop mathematical tools for discriminating skin texture from non-skin textures in images collected using a single thermal band. To solve this problem, a set of image processing algorithms have been designed and developed for generating the skin-texture feature set discriminating feature selection, and classification. First, Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM)-driven skin-texture features are generated based on the skin portions of the imagery. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is then performed on the feature set to isolate the skin discriminating features. Then, PCA-reported skin discriminating features are employed to construct a fused image. The purpose of this fused image is to represent the skin pixels in terms of the skin-discriminating features and use this image for skin discrimination. In the last process, this fused image is used for skin and non-skin classification at the local level. For classification, three image processing approaches are adopted: 1) Adaptive optimized threshold with Least Mean Square algorithm, 2) Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and 3) Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). Results from all three classification techniques are analyzed for accuracy confidence levels. This research provides a generalized approach for human skin detection in thermal images, providing a noncontact, remote, and passive method for human skin detection in day or night imagery for security and military applications.

description: Improved storage, sensing, and automated data collection technology has resulted in a world full of data that are noisy, incomplete, high-dimensional, and of astronomical size.This abundance of data motivates data-driven approaches to signal processing, while their messiness calls for more robust and accurate inference methods, e.g. by leveraging the structure of the data. Graphs are a natural choice to represent a diversity of structures inherent in data. Many physical signals are generated from graph-structured objects such as road and sensor networks, and time-series signals and images can be generalized to graph signals. Moreover, graphs can encode complex relationships and interactions between objects, e.g. via similarity graphs. This thesis studies how graph regularization can help solve challenging inference problems more accurately and quickly. Graph regularization is a flexible technique that drivessolutions of optimization problems to have desired properties with respect to a graph. We incorporate graph regularization into various learning tasks (denoising, matrix factorization, and distributed multitask learning) as well as signals of varying data complexity (scalars, vectors, and matrices). We first analyze the performance of non-convex regularizers in denoising, and observe both theoretically and experimentally that the power of graph regularization is bounded by how accurately the graph captures the underlying structure in the data. Next, we propose a fast algorithm to solve matrix factorization with a total-variation-based regularizer, and illustrate its application to hyperspectral unmixing. Finally, we derive a simple fusion framework for distributed multitask learning that linearly combines local estimates based on the task similarities and difficulties. This circumvents the complications around data sharing, e.g. privacy, and requires only one roundof communication. The proposed method is instantiated to linear regression and principal component analysis (PCA), and is verified on simulated data.

description: The flavor singlet axial charge has been a source of study in the last years due to its relation to the so called {\it Proton Spin Problem}. The relevant flavor singlet axial current is anomalous, i.e., its divergence contains a piece which is the celebrated $U_A(1)$ anomaly. This anomaly is intimately associated with the $η^\prime$ meson, which gets its mass from it. When the gauge degrees of freedom of QCD are confined within a volume as is presently understood, the $U_A(1)$ anomaly is known to induce color anomaly leading to "leakage" of the color out of the confined volume (or bag). For consistency of the theory, this anomaly should be canceled by a boundary term. This ``color boundary term" inherits part or most of the dynamics of the volume (i.e., QCD). In this paper, we exploit this mapping of the volume to the surafce via the color boundary condition to perform a complete analysis of the flavor singlet axial charge in the chiral bag model using the Cheshire Cat Principle. This enables us to obtain the hitherto missing piece in the axial charge associated with the gluon Casimir energies. The result is that the flavor singlet axial charge is small independent of the confinement (bag) size ranging from the skyrmion picture to the MIT bag picture, thereby confirming the (albeit approximate) Cheshire Cat phenomenon.

description: The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has triggered a multitude of media regulation challenges within the EU. With the Russian state propaganda machinery continuing to work in full swing, it has become increasingly critical for the EU to regulate media content to prevent the dissemination of disinformation, harmful and misleading information and state propaganda. This Insight seeks to explore the EU’s reaction to the Russian coverage of the war through the example of the RT case. The study aims to provide a theoretical background to Russian propaganda as a premise for the case study. The focus of the Insight is the examination of the RT suspension and the RT France case via the broader understanding of “propaganda” restrictions using the case law of the CJEU and the ECtHR. The study also aims to introduce a scholarly critical viewpoint with regard to imposing stringent restrictive measures against a media outlet and the effectivity thereof. The main argument of the Insight is that the nuanced and contextual understanding of media in war is not only a legal necessity but an effective societal tool, too, especially in the Russo-Ukrainian war.

description: To resolve historical misinterpretations of species descriptions and to comprehend the morphological diversity together with the distribution of Ulva compressa Linnaeus in northern Germany, a morphological and molecular study was undertaken of recently collected specimens and herbarium vouchers. Phylogenetic analyses from sequences of the plastid encoded tufA gene confirmed that U. compressa is abundant along the German Baltic Sea and North Sea coasts. We were able to genetically confirm the presence of U. compressa in the Baltic Sea below salinities of 15 PSU. However, we detected morphologies agreeing with the attached and branched tubular type material only in the North Sea, while U. compressa on Baltic Sea coasts indiscriminately exhibited a very distinct morphology of sheet-like thalli that were always unattached, with the exception of one collection site. Drifting forms were also frequently detected in the Wadden Sea, but not on the island of Helgoland. The tufA sequences of attached and tubular forms of U. compressa from the German Wadden Sea were identical to the drifting sheets found in the Wadden and Baltic Seas and the sequence divergence was extremely small at ≤0.9%. The proliferating, blade-like thalli of U. compressa appear as a nuisance ecotype that is able to form massive accumulations associated with oxygen depletion. Mass accumulations were observed to cause severe damage and increased mortality of habitat forming Zostera and Ruppia populations.

description: We investigate the influence of the range of interactions in the two-dimensional bond percolation model, by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We locate the phase transitions for several interaction ranges, as expressed by the number $z$ of equivalent neighbors. We also consider the $z \to \infty$ limit, i.e., the complete graph case, where percolation bonds are allowed between each pair of sites, and the model becomes mean-field-like. All investigated models with finite $z$ are found to belong to the short-range universality class. There is no evidence of a tricritical point separating the short-range and long-range behavior, such as is known to occur for $q=3$ and $q=4$ Potts models. We determine the renormalization exponent describing a finite-range perturbation at the mean-field limit as $y_r \approx 2/3$. Its relevance confirms the continuous crossover from mean-field percolation universality to short-range percolation universality. For finite interaction ranges, we find approximate relations between the coordination numbers and the amplitudes of the leading correction terms as found in the finite-size scaling analysis.

description: A systematic derivation is presented of the twist-2 anomalous dimensions of the general quark and gluon light-ray operators in the generalized Bjorken region in leading order both for unpolarized and polarized scattering. Various representations of the anomalous dimensions are derived both in the non-local and the local light cone expansion and their properties are discussed in detail. Evolution equations for these operators are derived using different representations. General two- and single-variable evolution equations are presented for the expectation values of these operators for non-forward scattering. The Compton amplitude is calculated in terms of these distribution amplitudes. In the limit of forward scattering a new derivation of the integral relations between the twist-2 contributions to the structure functions is given. Special limiting cases which are derived from the general relations are discussed, as the forward case, near-forward scattering, and vacuum-meson transition. Solutions of the two-variable evolution equations for non-forward scattering are presented.

description: The aim of this review is to present and analyze the probabilistic models of mathematical phylogenetics which have been intensively used in recent years in biology as the cornerstone of attempts to infer and reconstruct the ancestral relationships between species. We outline the development of theoretical phylogenetics, from the earliest studies based on morphological characters, through to the use of molecular data in a wide variety of forms. We bring the lens of mathematical physics to bear on the formulation of theoretical models, focussing on the applicability of many methods from the toolkit of that tradition -- techniques of groups and representations to guide model specification and to exploit the multilinear setting of the models in the presence of underlying symmetries; extensions to coalgebraic properties of the generators associated to rate matrices underlying the models, in relation to the graphical structures (trees and networks) which form the search space for inferring evolutionary trees. Aspects presented, include relating model classes to relevant matrix Lie algebras, as well as manipulations with group characters to enumerate various natural polynomial invariants, for identifying robust, low-parameter quantities for use in inference. Above all, we wish to emphasize the many features of multipartite entanglement which are shared between descriptions of quantum states on the physics side, and the multi-way tensor probability arrays arising in phylogenetics. In some instances, well-known objects such as the Cayley hyperdeterminant (the `tangle') can be directly imported into the formalism -- for models with binary character traits, and triplets of taxa. In other cases new objects appear, such as the remarkable quintic `squangle' invariants for quartet tree discrimination and DNA data, with their own unique interpretation in the phylogenetic modeling context.

Anderson-Mott transition as a quantum glass problem

description: We combine a recent mapping of the Anderson-Mott metal-insulator transition on a random-field problem with scaling concepts for random-field magnets to argue that disordered electrons near an Anderson-Mott transition show glass-like behavior. We first discuss attempts to interpret experimental results in terms of a conventional scaling picture, and argue that some of the difficulties encountered point towards a glassy nature of the electrons. We then develop a general scaling theory for a quantum glass, and discuss critical properties of both thermodynamic and transport variables in terms of it. Our most important conclusions are that for a correct interpretation of experiments one must distinguish between self-averaging and non-self averaging observables, and that dynamical or temperature scaling is not of power-law type but rather activated, i.e. given by a generalized Vogel-Fulcher law. Recent mutually contradicting experimental results on Si:P are discussed in the light of this, and new experiments are proposed to test the predictions of our quantum glass scaling theory.

Adelic binds in p-adic quantum geometry and Gromov-Witten theory
Creators: name: Del Bel, Julian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper presents an algebraic framework that integrates recursive expansive dynamics, fractal geometry, and non-Archimedean corrections through the introduction of constructs such as the Inverse Zero Operator (IZO) and Influence Operators. This theory models complex physical systems where interactions are influenced by prior states and semi-SUSY-recursive feedback mechanisms. The framework addresses spacetime propagation, energy dissipation, and information storage mechanisms in higher-dimensional structures. Theoretical foundations are established through geometric templates like trochoids epicycloids, hypocycloids, and Hyper Limacon caustics. Constructed through fixed-point theorems, metric deformations, holographic entropy scaling. Hyperaddition and Hypermultiplication are defined with correction functions that incorporate fractal scaling and p-adic effects. We then build a layered model that smoothly transitions from quantum-scale operations (using Jordan algebras) to macroscopic feedback (modeled via loops and near-rings). Finally, we integrate these ideas with adelic Gromov-Witten theory and p-adic quantum geometry.

description: The abundance of demersal marine fishes is a function of both pre-settlement processes that influence recruitment to benthic juvenile habitats, as well as post-settlement density-dependent processes that act during the juvenile stage. Few studies have investigated density-dependence for fishes that spawn offshore and recruit to inshore estuaries for the juvenile stage prior to returning to offshore waters as adults (i.e. estuary-dependent). We conducted 2 replicated experiments at different spatial scales to test for density-dependent growth and mortality in juvenile spot Leiostomus xanthurus, a common estuary-dependent species. In the small-scale experiment, we stocked spot in 1 m(2) cages in a marsh creek at densities of 2, 5, and 10 fish m(-2) and determined their growth and mortality after 51 d. In the large-scale experiment, we stocked spot in 79 m(2) pond sections at 2, 5, and 10 fish m(-2) and determined their growth and mortality after 52 d. We sampled benthic infauna at the end of the pond experiment to determine if prey availability mediated the effects of density on spot growth and mortality. Average spot growth rates decreased 83 to 97 % and mortality increased 2- to 4-fold as density increased from 2 to 10 fish m(-2). The density of benthic infauna at the end of the pond experiment was inversely related to spot density, consistent with competition for food as the underlying mechanism. Estimates of spot density compiled from the literature indicate that the density-dependent effects we observed occurred within the range of reported field densities, Our results provide strong experimental support for the hypothesis that density-dependent processes during the demersal juvenile stage in estuaries can modify patterns in the abundance of spot, and perhaps other estuary-dependent species, that are established prior to settlement.
Overwintering ability of young-of-the-year bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix: effect of ration and cohort of origin on survival

description: Bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix have experienced declines in recruitment and adult abundance along the US East Coast since the mid-1980s. At the onset of winter, young-of-the-year (YOY) bluefish exhibit a multimodal size distribution including larger, spring-spawned fish (spring cohort) and smaller, summer-spawned fish (summer cohort). Declines in the adult stock appear to coincide with declines in recruitment success of the summer cohort. We investigated the hypothesis that poor recruitment success of the summer cohort results from size-selective winter mortality. Winter mesocosm experiments were conducted to examine the effects of cohort of origin (spring vs. summer) and food availability (fed vs. unfed) on winter survival of YOY bluefish. Spring fish entered winter with significantly greater lipid reserves than summer fish. When fed, both cohorts stored lipids during late fall, depleted lipid reserves during winter, and experienced high overwinter survival. When starved, both cohorts mobilized lipids from multiple depots (liver, viscera, white muscle, red muscle, skin) and summer fish experienced starvation mortality similar to 6 wk prior to spring fish. Although summer fish were more susceptible to winter starvation than spring fish, their starvation endurance (> 90 % survival probability after 120 d) appeared more than adequate to survive natural winter conditions. Interestingly, spring fish suffered a brief mortality event during January when water temperatures dropped briefly below 6 degrees C, suggesting that larger individuals are less tolerant of acute cold stress. The remarkable starvation endurance of summer-spawned bluefish, coupled with their capacity for rapid lipid storage during fall and reduced rates of lipid depletion at low temperatures, implies that members of this cohort are physiologically well-equipped to survive their first winter of life. Our findings are inconsistent with the hypothesis that winter starvation accounts for decreased recruitment of the summer cohort to the western Atlantic stock.

description: The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is a cryptographic hash function published by the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) as a U.S Federal Information and Processing Standard (FIPS). In the past few years, a flaw discovered in the SHA-1 shows its vulnerability to attacks. The current hashing standard SHA-2 which shares similarities to SHA-1 is therefore under scrutiny for a possible attack. In 2007, NIST announced the SHA-3 competition in hopes of finding a new algorithm with higher margin of security and which is also more efficient in terms of software and hardware performance. Out of the 51 candidates selected in round one, only five remain in the third and final round namely BLAKE, Grostl, JH, Keccak and Skein.
Winter energy storage dynamics and cohort structure of young-of-the-year bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix off North Carolina

description: The ecology of overwintering young-of-the-year bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix off North Carolina, USA, was examined for the 2001 and 2002 year-classes, to test the hypothesis that over-winter mortality affects the recruitment of summer-spawned bluefish. A trawling survey was conducted in Onslow Bay, North Carolina, from October 2001 to May 2002 and from September 2002 to June 2003 to determine bluefish abundance, cohort structure, energy density of white muscle and liver, and gut fullness. Up to 4 transects ranging from 0.4 to 16.1 km from shore were sampled monthly. Abundance of bluefish in Onslow Bay was high during the fall and declined with decreasing temperature in both years. Winter abundance was related to winter severity, with higher catches during the more mild winter of 2001 to 2002. At least 3 young-of-the-year cohorts were observed in both years. Gut fullness values generally followed temperature patterns, with reduced feeding during the winter. Energy reserves in white muscle and liver tissues peaked in November with larger fish having disproportionately more energy. However, by mid-winter there was little difference in energy reserves between the cohorts. These data suggest that larger fish deplete a greater portion of their energy stores as the season progresses while smaller fish deplete energy more slowly. Catch data show that summer-spawned bluefish survive the winter, but the magnitude of overwinter mortality remains uncertain.

description: We explain the (non)helical dynamo process using a field-structure model based on magnetic induction equation in an intuitive way. We show how nonhelical kinetic energy converts into magnetic energy and cascades toward smaller eddies in a mechanically forced plasma system. Also, we show how helical magnetic energy is inversely cascaded ($α$ effect) toward large scale magnetic eddies in a mechanically or magnetically forced system. We, then, compare the simulation results with the model qualitatively for the verification of the model. In addition to these intuitive and numerical approaches, we show how to get $α$ and $β$ coefficient semi-analytically from the temporally evolving large scale magnetic energy and magnetic helicity.

description: The reaction of [(arene)MCl2]2 with pyridylpyrazolyl ligands (L1 and L2) in the presence of ammonium hexafluorophosphate leads to formation of cationic complexes having the general formula [(arene)M(L)Cl]PF6 {M = Ru, arene = p-cymene (1, 4); Cp*, M = Rh (2, 5); Cp*, M = Ir (3, 6); L = 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (L1), 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (L2)}. Similarly the reaction of [CpRu(PPh3)2Cl] and [(ind)Ru(PPh3)2Cl] (ind = η5-C9H7) with L1 and L2 yielded cationic complexes which have been formulated as [(Cp/ind)Ru(L)PPh3]PF6 (7-10). All these complexes were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The pyridylpyrazolyl ligands coordinated metal through pyridyl and pyrazolyl nitrogens forming a six-membered metallacycle. The ligands as well as the complexes were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity by agar well diffusion method against two Gram negative bacteria (E. coli and P. aeruginosa) and two Gram positive bacteria (S. aureus and B. thuriengiensis). Results show that the ligands and the complexes have significant antibacterial activity against Gram negative bacteria.

description: We report Eu-local-spin magnetism and Ni-doping-induced superconductivity (SC) in a 112-type ferroarsenide system Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x}$)As$_2$. The non-doped EuFeAs$_2$ exhibits two primary magnetic transitions at $\sim$100 and $\sim$ 40 K, probably associated with a spin-density-wave (SDW) transition and an antiferromagnetic ordering in the Fe and Eu sublattices, respectively. Two additional successive transitions possibly related to Eu-spin modulations appear at 15.5 and 6.5 K. For the Ni-doped sample with $x$ = 0.04, the SDW transition disappears, and SC emerges at $T_\mathrm{c}$ = 17.5 K. The Eu-spin ordering remains at around 40 K, followed by the possible reentrant magnetic modulations with enhanced spin canting. Consequently, SC coexists with a weak spontaneous magnetization below 6.2 K in Eu(Fe$_{0.96}$Ni$_{0.04}$)As$_2$, which provides a complementary playground for the study of the interplay between SC and magnetism.

description: Using data from Fermilab fixed-target experiment E791, we have measured particle-antiparticle production asymmetries for lambda zero, cascade minus, and omega minus hyperons in pi minus-nucleon interactions at 500 GeV/c. The asymmetries are measured as functions of Feynman-x (x_F) and pt^2 over the ranges of -0.12 GE x_F LE 0.12 and 0 GE pt^2 LE 4 (GeV/c)^2. We find substantial asymmetries, even at x_F = 0. We also observe leading-particle- type asymmetries which qualitatively agree with theoretical predictions.

Irrelevance of magnetic proximity effect to spin-orbit torques in heavy metal/ferromagnet bilayers

description: The magnetic proximity effect (MPE) is a well-established magnetic phenomenon that occurs at certain heavy metal (HM)/ferromagnet (FM) interfaces. However, there is still an active debate as to whether the presence of a MPE affects spin transport through such a HM/FM interface. Here we demonstrate that the MPE at Pt/Co and Au0.25Pt0.75/Co interfaces can be enhanced substantially by thermal annealing protocols. From this ability, we show that the MPE has no discernable influence on either the damping-like or the field-like spin-orbit torques exerted on the FM layer due to the spin Hall effect of the HM layer, indicating a minimal role of the MPE compared to other interfacial effects, e.g. spin memory loss and spin backflow.

description: In this paper, we study the Brezis-Nirenberg type problem for Choquard equations in $\mathbb{R}^N$ \begin{equation*} -Δu+u=(I_α\ast|u|^{p})|u|^{p-2}u+λ|u|^{q-2}u \quad \mathrm{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \end{equation*} where $N\geq 3,\ α\in(0,N)$, $λ>0$, $q\in (2,\frac{2N}{N-2}]$, $p=\frac{N+α}{N}$ or $\frac{N+α}{N-2}$ are the critical exponents in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality and $I_α$ is the Riesz potential. Based on the results of the subcritical problems, and by using the subcritical approximation and the Pohožaev constraint method, we obtain a positive and radially nonincreasing groundstate solution in $H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for the problem. To the end, the regularity and the Pohožaev identity of solutions to a general Choquard equation are obtained.
A two-band approach to n$λ$ phase error corrections with LBTI's PHASECam

description: PHASECam is the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer's (LBTI) phase sensor, a near-infrared camera which is used to measure tip/tilt and phase variations between the two AO-corrected apertures of the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Tip/tilt and phase sensing are currently performed in the H (1.65 $μ$m) and K (2.2 $μ$m) bands at 1 kHz, and the K band phase telemetry is used to send tip/tilt and Optical Path Difference (OPD) corrections to the system. However, phase variations outside the range [-$π$, $π$] are not sensed, and thus are not fully corrected during closed-loop operation. PHASECam's phase unwrapping algorithm, which attempts to mitigate this issue, still occasionally fails in the case of fast, large phase variations. This can cause a fringe jump, in which case the unwrapped phase will be incorrect by a wavelength or more. This can currently be manually corrected by the observer, but this is inefficient. A more reliable and automated solution is desired, especially as the LBTI begins to commission further modes which require robust, active phase control, including controlled multi-axial (Fizeau) interferometry and dual-aperture non-redundant aperture masking interferometry. We present a multi-wavelength method of fringe jump capture and correction which involves direct comparison between the K band and currently unused H band phase telemetry.

description: We show that thermodynamics for an asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black hole leads to a force of magnitude $c^4/(2G)$. This remains true if one considers the simplest form of correction due to the generalized uncertainty principle. We comment on the maximum force conjecture, the subtleties involved, as well as the discrepancies with previous results in the literature.
