On Wireless Scheduling Using the Mean Power Assignment
Creators: name: Tonoyan, Tigran
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper the problem of scheduling with power control in wireless networks is studied: given a set of communication requests, one needs to assign the powers of the network nodes, and schedule the transmissions so that they can be done in a minimum time, taking into account the signal interference of concurrently transmitting nodes. The signal interference is modeled by SINR constraints. Approximation algorithms are given for this problem, which use the mean power assignment. The problem of schduling with fixed mean power assignment is also considered, and approximation guarantees are proven.

description: Several pathogens use evolvability as a survival strategy against acquired immunity of the host. Despite their high variability in time, some of them exhibit quite low variability within the population at any given time, a somehow paradoxical behavior often called the evolving quasispecies. In this paper we introduce a simplified model of an evolving viral population in which the effects of the acquired immunity of the host are represented by the decrease of the fitness of the corresponding viral strains, depending on the frequency of the strain in the viral population. The model exhibits evolving quasispecies behavior in a certain range of its parameters, ans suggests how punctuated evolution can be induced by a simple feedback mechanism.

description: The Relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov model for axially deformed nuclei (RHFBz) is introduced. The model is based on an effective Lagrangian with density-dependent meson-nucleon couplings in the particle-hole channel, and the pairing part of the Gogny force is used in the pairing channel. The RHFBz quasiparticle equations are solved by expansion in the basis of a deformed harmonic oscillator. Illustrative RHFBz calculations are performed for Carbon, Neon and Magnesium isotopes. The effect of the explicitly including the pion field is investigated for binding energies, deformation parameters, and charge radii.

description: Il Congresso di Berlino del 1878 fu un nodo cruciale della storia contemporanea dei Balcani e dell’Europa stessa. Convocato per discutere l’annosa Questione d’Oriente, tornata prepotentemente all’attenzione dei Gabinetti europei nel 1875-78, esso ebbe l’ambizione di provare a risolvere le maggiori questioni politiche internazionali che riguardavano popoli e Stati della regione sud-orientale dell’Europa. Sicuramente si trattò di un momento di profondo cambiamento degli equilibri non solo nei Balcani ma anche dei rapporti fra le Grandi potenze europee, interessate a sfruttare le questioni nazionali di quella regione per il conseguimento dei loro disegni egemonici. Gli autori dei saggi contenuti in questo volume indagano sugli esiti e gli sviluppi successivi al Trattato di Berlino del 1878 e offrono un panorama ampio sia sulla politica delle Grandi Potenze, sia su quella degli Stati e delle popolazioni dei Balcani nei trent’anni successivi al 1878. Alla luce dell’ampia storiografia disponibile sull’argomento e, soprattutto, delle nuove ricerche condotte negli ultimi anni, il presente volume vuole fare il punto sulle conoscenze disponibili circa la storia balcanica sullo scorcio del XIX secolo, vista nel contesto più ampio del quadro politico internazionale del tempo.

Self-supervised learning at the sensor layer in robotics
Creators: name: Yuan, Kaiwen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Modern robots are generally armed with diverse modalities of sensors, for various functionalities and safety redundancy. The recent breakthrough of deep learning (DL) technologies demonstrates superior performance on many high-level tasks, especially with using multi-sensor fusion. While the majority of multi-modal DL methods assume that sensors are well calibrated, synchronized and denoised, such efforts at the sensor layer are non-trivial and get increasingly expensive with the growing complexity of robotic systems. Currently dominant approaches heavily rely on specific hardware setup or high-end sensors, which generally are not cost-effective. This cost concern could be a bottleneck for the potential wide adoption of low-cost robots in the near future. Even though DL has a huge potential at the sensor layer, the difficulty of acquiring sufficient and accurate annotations for related tasks remain a major challenge. This thesis first formulates key problems at the robot sensor layer from the machine learning perspective, and further proposes efficient self-supervised learning approaches systematically. In our work, the popular and representative LiDAR-camera-inertial system is utilized as the study target. Firstly, the challenging LiDAR-camera online extrinsic calibration task is delved into, and we investigate the Riemannian metrics equipped self-supervised learning approach via synthetic data. This was the first work in the literature which demonstrates competing performance of data-driven methods when compared with conventional approaches at the sensor layer. It lays the foundation and shows the potential for later deeper explorations. Secondly, we address several overlooked limitations of the conventional synchronization pipelines and propose the first DL based LiDAR-camera synchronization framework, which is an innovative self-supervised learning schema. Thirdly, the problem of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) denoising for navigation is studied, and we propose a self-supervised multi-task framework. This work demonstrates the superiority of data-driven approaches on IMU denoising and presents one realistic self-supervised learning implementation. These explorations initialize the adoption of deep learning for robot sensor layer tasks and show case how self-supervised learning can be applied. Our work helps push the boundary of self-supervised learning at the sensor layer to an usable stage, demonstrate the potential for this direction and shed the lights for future research.

description: We constrain the evolution of the rest-frame far-infrared (FIR) luminosity function out to high redshift, by combining several pieces of complementary information provided by the deep Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope surveys at 250, 350 and 500 micron, as well as other FIR and millimetre data. Unlike most other phenomenological models, we characterise the uncertainties in our fitted parameters using Monte Carlo Markov Chains. We use a bivariate local luminosity function that depends only on FIR luminosity and 60-to-100 micron colour, along with a single library of galaxy spectral energy distributions indexed by colour, and apply simple luminosity and density evolution. We use the surface density of sources, Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) measurements and redshift distributions of bright sources, for which identifications have been made, to constrain this model. The precise evolution of the FIR luminosity function across this crucial range has eluded studies at longer wavelengths (e.g., using SCUBA and MAMBO) and at shorter wavelengths (e.g., Spitzer), and should provide a key piece of information required for the study of galaxy evolution. Our adoption of Monte Carlo methods enables us not only to find the best-fit evolution model, but also to explore correlations between the fitted parameters. Our model-fitting approach allows us to focus on sources of tension coming from the combination of data-sets. We specifically find that our choice of parameterisation has difficulty fitting the combination of CIB measurements and redshift distribution of sources near 1 mm. Existing and future data sets will be able to dramatically improve the fits, as well as break strong degeneracies among the models. [abridged]

description: We revisit $\bar{B}_s\to πK$, $πK^{\ast}$ and $ρK$ decays within QCDF formalism and examine the possible effects of a family non-universal $Z^\prime$ boson in these decays. In our evaluations, the strong constraints from $B_d-\bar{B_d}$ mixing on the strength of the left-handed flavor-changing $d-b-Z^{\prime}$ coupling $B_{db}^{L}$ ~($\sim0.2\times10^{-3}$) is also included. Numerically, we find that a new weak phase $ϕ^L_d\sim-50^{\circ}$ involved in $B_{db}^{L}$, the negative combination of the $u-u-Z^{\prime}$ and $d-d-Z^{\prime}$ couplings $P_{ud}^{R}$ and/or $D_{ud}^{L}$ with larger absolute value are crucial to improve the agreement of ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s\to π^- K^+)$ between the SM prediction and the experimental measurement. Generally, ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s\to π^- K^+)$ could be reduced by about 18% at most by $Z^{\prime}$ contributions. Moreover, combining with the recent updated measurement on $β_s$ by CDF and D0 collaborations, we also find that $Z^{\prime}$ effects in $\bar{B}_s\to π^- K^+$ decays are very important for examining whether the CKM-like hierarchy persists in a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ coupling matrix.

description: The proliferation of social media has given rise to a new form of communication: memes. Memes are multimodal and often contain a combination of text and visual elements that convey meaning, humor, and cultural significance. While meme analysis has been an active area of research, little work has been done on unsupervised multimodal topic modeling of memes, which is important for content moderation, social media analysis, and cultural studies. We propose \textsf{PromptMTopic}, a novel multimodal prompt-based model designed to learn topics from both text and visual modalities by leveraging the language modeling capabilities of large language models. Our model effectively extracts and clusters topics learned from memes, considering the semantic interaction between the text and visual modalities. We evaluate our proposed model through extensive experiments on three real-world meme datasets, which demonstrate its superiority over state-of-the-art topic modeling baselines in learning descriptive topics in memes. Additionally, our qualitative analysis shows that \textsf{PromptMTopic} can identify meaningful and culturally relevant topics from memes. Our work contributes to the understanding of the topics and themes of memes, a crucial form of communication in today's society.\\ \red{\textbf{Disclaimer: This paper contains sensitive content that may be disturbing to some readers.}}

description: The rise of social media platforms has brought about a new digital culture called memes. Memes, which combine visuals and text, can strongly influence public opinions on social and cultural issues. As a result, people have become interested in categorizing memes, leading to the development of various datasets and multimodal models that show promising results in this field. However, there is currently a lack of a single library that allows for the reproduction, evaluation, and comparison of these models using fair benchmarks and settings. To fill this gap, we introduce the Meme Analytical Tool Kit (MATK), an open-source toolkit specifically designed to support existing memes datasets and cutting-edge multimodal models. MATK aims to assist researchers and engineers in training and reproducing these multimodal models for meme classification tasks, while also providing analysis techniques to gain insights into their strengths and weaknesses.

The effect should be observable for atoms confined within a nano-cell with a pumped optical cavity as photon source.

description: A very common bottleneck to study short electron bunch dynamics in accelerators is a detection scheme that can deal with high repetition rates in the MHz range. The KIT electron storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) is the first storage ring with a near-field single-shot electro-optical (EO) bunch profile monitor installed for the measurement of electron bunch dynamics in the longitudinal phase-space. Using electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD) it is possible to imprint the bunch profile on chirped laser pulses subsequently read out by a spectrometer and a camera. However, commercially available cameras have a drawback in their acquisition rate, which is limited to a few hundred kHz. Hence, we have developed KALYPSO, an ultra-fast line camera capable of operating in the MHz regime. Its modular approach allows the installation of several sensors e.g. Si, InGaAs, PbS, PbSe to cover a wide range of spectral sensitivities. In this contribution, an overview of the EOSD experimental setup and the detector system installed for longitudinal bunch studies will be presented.

description: We review the mathematical framework necessary to understand the physical content of quantum singularities in static spacetimes. We present many examples of classical singular spacetimes and study their singularities by using wave packets satisfying Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. We show that in many cases the classical singularities are excluded when tested by quantum particles but unfortunately there are other cases where the singularities remain from the quantum mechanical point of view. When it is possible we also find, for spacetimes where quantum mechanics does not exclude the singularities, the boundary conditions necessary to turn the spatial portion of the wave operator into self-adjoint and emphasize their importance to the interpretation of quantum singularities.

description: 3D Single Object Tracking (SOT) stands a forefront task of computer vision, proving essential for applications like autonomous driving. Sparse and occluded data in scene point clouds introduce variations in the appearance of tracked objects, adding complexity to the task. In this research, we unveil M3SOT, a novel 3D SOT framework, which synergizes multiple input frames (template sets), multiple receptive fields (continuous contexts), and multiple solution spaces (distinct tasks) in ONE model. Remarkably, M3SOT pioneers in modeling temporality, contexts, and tasks directly from point clouds, revisiting a perspective on the key factors influencing SOT. To this end, we design a transformer-based network centered on point cloud targets in the search area, aggregating diverse contextual representations and propagating target cues by employing historical frames. As M3SOT spans varied processing perspectives, we've streamlined the network-trimming its depth and optimizing its structure-to ensure a lightweight and efficient deployment for SOT applications. We posit that, backed by practical construction, M3SOT sidesteps the need for complex frameworks and auxiliary components to deliver sterling results. Extensive experiments on benchmarks such as KITTI, nuScenes, and Waymo Open Dataset demonstrate that M3SOT achieves state-of-the-art performance at 38 FPS. Our code and models are available at https://github.com/ywu0912/TeamCode.git.

description: Given an undirected graph G, the effective resistance r(s,t) measures the dissimilarity of node pair s,t in G, which finds numerous applications in real-world problems, such as recommender systems, combinatorial optimization, molecular chemistry, and electric power networks. Existing techniques towards pairwise effective resistance estimation either trade approximation guarantees for practical efficiency, or vice versa. In particular, the state-of-the-art solution is based on a multitude of Monte Carlo random walks, rendering it rather inefficient in practice, especially on large graphs.
 Motivated by this, this paper first presents an improved Monte Carlo approach, AMC, which reduces both the length and amount of random walks required without degrading the theoretical accuracy guarantee, through careful theoretical analysis and an adaptive sampling scheme. Further, we develop a greedy approach, GEER, which combines AMC with sparse matrix-vector multiplications in an optimized and non-trivial way. GEER offers significantly improved practical efficiency over AMC without compromising its asymptotic performance and accuracy guarantees. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets reveal that GEER is orders of magnitude faster than the state of the art in terms of computational time when achieving the same accuracy.

description: We introduce the formalism of quantum cosmology in a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe of arbitrary dimension filled with a perfect fluid with $p=αρ$ equation of state. First we show that the Schutz formalism, developed in four dimensions, can be extended to a n-dimensional universe. We compute the quantum representant of the scale factor $a(t)$, in the Many-Worlds, as well as, in the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics. We show that the singularities, which are still present in the n-dimensional generalization of FLRW universe, are excluded with the introduction of quantum theory. We quantize, via the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics, the components of the Riemann curvature tensor in a tetrad basis in a n-dimensional FLRW universe filled with radiation ($p=\frac{1}{n-1}ρ$). We show that the quantized version of the Ricci scalar are perfectly regular for all time $t$. We also study the behavior of the energy density and pressure and show that the ratio $_L/_L$ tends to the classical value $1/(n-1)$ only for $n=4$, showing that $n=4$ is somewhat privileged among the other dimensions. Besides that, as $n\to\infty$, $_L/_L\to 1$.

Characterizing gene expression patterns associated with heterogeneity and relapse in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia
Creators: name: Wei, Sumin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The effective treatment of patients in certain subgroups of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the management of relapse in this disease still remain unresolved challenges. Our ability to find solutions to these problems has been, in part, confounded by the inter- and intra-tumour heterogeneity observed in this disease, which may also affect how tumours evolve in response to treatment. The limitations in our knowledge of these areas may have been due to the lack of representative patient populations to facilitate the characterization of these different layers of heterogeneity and their relationships to each other. In this thesis, I was able to utilize clinical, genomic and transcriptome data from a diverse and representative cohort of de novo pediatric AML patients enrolled in a large clinical trial, AAML1031, to help better characterize the transcriptional profiles and heterogeneity within established genetic subgroups. Unsupervised clustering on gene expression data of primary samples revealed that genetically-defined subgroups were not completely recapitulated at the transcriptional level. While certain subgroups displayed distinct and relatively uniform transcriptional profiles, others, particularly those marked by fusion oncoproteins involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression, were associated with activation of diverse transcriptional programs. I also observed that the transcriptional heterogeneity in the KMT2A-rearranged subgroup could be associated with significant differences in clinical outcomes, suggesting that characterization of the transcriptome could yield insights into tumour response to therapy and may also be helpful in patient stratification. I also utilized transcriptome data for primary and matched relapse samples from patients enrolled in AAML1031 to identify possible gene expression patterns associated with relapse. To do this, I compared the transcriptional changes at relapse in patients treated with chemotherapy alone to chemotherapy and bortezomib. Across a number of subgroups, I was able to identify modulation of the immune system to be associated with resistance to bortezomib treatment. This observation indicated that anti-cancer drugs may have off-target effects on non-malignant cells, highlighting the importance of careful evaluation of the impact of treatment on the microenvironment.

Heterocyclic peptide staples : from function oriented synthesis to fluorescent peptide crosslinks
Creators: name: Todorovic, Mihajlo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This thesis will describe the application of aromatization-driven, heterocycle forming reactions for peptide cyclization. Chapter 1 introduces protein and peptide structure broadly, followed by describing natural cyclized peptides. It will then briefly give historical context for synthetic peptide cyclization and survey modern synthetic peptide stapling strategies. Chapter 2 introduces the bicyclic peptide natural product, α-amanitin, a classic peptide whose staple and properties inspire much of the intellectual outputs in this thesis and outlines the rationale for a structure activity relationship (SAR) study of the eastern ring of the molecule and describe the synthesis of the unnatural amino acid monomers required for the SAR study. Chapter 3 details the synthesis of a focused library of α-amanitin eastern ring analoguesand report their biological activities. Chapter 4 describes the application the chemistry developed for cyclizing the α-amanitin analogues (the Savige-Fontana reaction, which introduces tryptathionine staples) described in Chapter 3 to forging analogues of a completely unrelated peptide sequence of biological interest, somatostatin. Chapter 4 also describes the discovery of an unexpected side product (a 2-2’ bisindole) of the Savige-Fontana reaction when applied to somatostatin. Chapter 5 describes the application of tryptathionine stapling to synthesizing analogues of another peptide sequence of oncological interest, α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and the development of intentional 2-2’-bisindole peptide stapling. Chapter 6 outlines the historical uses of ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) as a reagent in analytical chemistry and biochemistry for forming fluorescent isoindoles and introduce the idea of employing OPA for stapling peptides. It will then discuss the development of fluorescent isoindole crosslinking (FlICk) chemistry for stapling monocyclic α-MSH analogues and bicyclic α-amanitinα-analogues. Chapter 7 concludes with future directions for the projects described in this thesis.
A Bayesian analysis of the 27 highest energy cosmic rays detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory

description: It is possible that ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are generated by active galactic nuclei (AGNs), but there is currently no conclusive evidence for this hypothesis. Several reports of correlations between the arrival directions of UHECRs and the positions of nearby AGNs have been made, the strongest detection coming from a sample of 27 UHECRs detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO). However, the PAO results were based on a statistical methodology that not only ignored some relevant information (most obviously the UHECR arrival energies but also some of the information in the arrival directions) but also involved some problematic fine-tuning of the correlation parameters. Here we present a fully Bayesian analysis of the PAO data (collected before 2007 September), which makes use of more of the available information, and find that a fraction F_AGN = 0.15^(+0.10)_(-0.07) of the UHECRs originate from known AGNs in the Veron-Cetty & Veron (VCV) catalogue. The hypothesis that all the UHECRs come from VCV AGNs is ruled out, although there remains a small possibility that the PAO-AGN correlation is coincidental (F_AGN = 0.15 is 200 times as probable as F_AGN = 0.00).

description: We study the mass-density relationship n ~ m^x in molecular cloud condensations (clumps), considering various equipartition relations between their gravitational, kinetic, internal and magnetic energies. Clumps are described statistically, with a density distribution that reflects a lognormal probability density function (pdf) in turbulent cold interstellar medium. The clump mass-density exponent $x$ derived at different scales $L$ varies in most of the cases within the range $-2.5\lesssim x \lesssim-0.2$, with a pronounced scale dependence and in consistency with observations. When derived from the global size-mass relationship m ~ l^{γ_{glob}} for set of clumps, generated at all scales, the clump mass-density exponent has typical values $-3.0\lesssim x(γ_{glob}) \lesssim -0.3$ that depend on the forms of energy, included in the equipartition relations and on the velocity scaling law whereas the description of clump geometry is important when magnetic energy is taken into account.
