description: When two liquid drops touch, a microscopic connecting liquid bridge forms and rapidly grows as the two drops merge into one. Whereas coalescence has been thoroughly studied when drops coalesce in vacuum or air, many important situations involve coalescence in a dense surrounding fluid, such as oil coalescence in brine. Here we study the merging of gas bubbles and liquid drops in an external fluid. Our data indicate that the flows occur over much larger length scales in the outer fluid than inside the drops themselves. Thus we find that the asymptotic early regime is always dominated by the viscosity of the drops, independent of the external fluid. A phase diagram showing the crossovers into the different possible late-time dynamics identifies a dimensionless number that signifies when the external viscosity can be important.

description: Oral bioavailability (%F) is a key factor that determines the fate of a new drug in clinical trials. Traditionally, %F is measured using costly and time -consuming experimental tests. Developing computational models to evaluate the %F of new drugs before they are synthesized would be beneficial in the drug discovery process.

description: Weak spectral features in BL Lacertae objects (BL Lac) often provide a unique opportunity to probe the inner region of this rare type of active galactic nucleus. We present a Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph observation of the BL Lac H 2356-309. A weak Ly$α$ emission line was detected. This is the fourth detection of a weak Ly$α$ emission feature in the ultraviolet (UV) band in the so-called "high energy peaked BL Lacs", after Stocke et al. Assuming the line-emitting gas is located in the broad line region (BLR) and the ionizing source is the off-axis jet emission, we constrain the Lorentz factor ($Γ$) of the relativistic jet to be $\geq 8.1$ with a maximum viewing angle of 3.6$^\circ$. The derived $Γ$ is somewhat larger than previous measurements of $Γ\approx 3 - 5$, implying a covering factor of $\sim$ 3% of the line-emitting gas. Alternatively, the BLR clouds could be optically thin, in which case we constrain the BLR warm gas to be $\sim 10^{-5}\rm\ M_{\odot}$. We also detected two HI and one OVI absorption lines that are within $|Δv| < 150\rm\ km\ s^{-1}$ of the BL Lac object. The OVI and one of the HI absorbers likely coexist due to their nearly identical velocities. We discuss several ionization models and find a photoionization model where the ionizing photon source is the BL Lac object can fit the observed ion column densities with reasonable physical parameters. This absorber can either be located in the interstellar medium of the host galaxy, or in the BLR.

description: The large scale jet of quasar 3C 273 has been observed in radio to $γ$ ray frequencies. Earlier the X-ray emission from knot A of this jet has been explained with inverse Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background radiations by the shock accelerated relativistic electrons in the jet. More recently it has been shown that this mechanism overproduces the gamma ray flux at GeV energy and violates the observational results from Fermi LAT. We have considered the synchrotron emission from a broken power law spectrum of accelerated protons in the jet to explain the observed X-ray to $γ$ ray flux from knot A. The two scenarios discussed in our work are (i) magnetic field is high, synchrotron energy loss time of the protons is shorter than their escape time from the knot region and the age of the jet (ii) their escape time is shorter than their synchrotron energy loss time and the age of the jet. These scenarios can explain the observed photon spectrum well for moderate values of Doppler factor. The required jet luminosity is high $\sim 10^{46}$ erg/sec in the first scenario and moderate $\sim 10^{45}$ erg/sec in the second, which makes the second scenario more favorable.

description: The set of particle-hole ring diagrams for a many-fermion system in two dimensions is studied. The complex-valued polarization function is derived in detail and shown to be expressible in terms of square-root functions. For a contact-interaction the perturbative contributions to the energy per particle $\bar E(k_f)$ are calculated in closed analytical form from third up to twelfth order. The resummation of the particle-hole ring diagrams to all orders is studied and a pronounced dependence on the dimensionless coupling parameter $α$ is found. There is a substantial difference between the complete ring-sum with all exchange-type diagrams included and the standard resummation of the leading $n$-ring diagrams only. The spin factor $S_n(g)$ associated to the $n$-th order ring diagrams is derived for arbitrary spin-degeneracy $g$.

description: A theoretical model using electron-phonon scattering rate equations is developed for assessing carrier thermalization under steady-state conditions in two-dimensional systems. The model is applied to investigate the hot carrier effect in III-V hot-carrier solar cells with a quantum well absorber. The question underlying the proposed investigation is: what is the power required to maintain two populations of electron and hole carriers in a quasi-equilibrium state at fixed temperatures and quasi-Fermi level splitting? The obtained answer is that the thermalization power density is reduced in two-dimensional systems compared to their bulk counterpart, which demonstrates a confinement-induced enhancement of the hot carrier effect in quantum wells. This power overall increases with the well thickness, and it is moreover shown that the intra-subband contribution dominates at small thicknesses while the inter-subband contribution increases with thickness and dominates in the bulk limit. Finally, the effects of the thermodynamic state of phonons and screening are clarified. In particular, the two-dimensional thermalization power density exhibits a non-monotonic dependence on the thickness of the quantum well layer, when both out-of-equilibrium longitudinal optical phonons and screening effects are taken into account. Our theoretical and numerical results provide tracks to interpret intriguing experimental observations in quantum well physics. They will also offer guidelines to increase the yield of photovoltaic effect based on the hot carrier effect using quantum well heterostructures, a result critical to the research toward high-efficiency solar cell devices.

description: We introduce DivEMT, the first publicly available post-editing study of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) over a typologically diverse set of target languages. Using a strictly controlled setup, 18 professional translators were instructed to translate or post-edit the same set of English documents into Arabic, Dutch, Italian, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. During the process, their edits, keystrokes, editing times and pauses were recorded, enabling an in-depth, cross-lingual evaluation of NMT quality and post-editing effectiveness. Using this new dataset, we assess the impact of two state-of-the-art NMT systems, Google Translate and the multilingual mBART-50 model, on translation productivity. We find that post-editing is consistently faster than translation from scratch. However, the magnitude of productivity gains varies widely across systems and languages, highlighting major disparities in post-editing effectiveness for languages at different degrees of typological relatedness to English, even when controlling for system architecture and training data size. We publicly release the complete dataset including all collected behavioral data, to foster new research on the translation capabilities of NMT systems for typologically diverse languages.

description: This paper proposes a novel stroke-based rendering (SBR) method that translates images into vivid oil paintings. Previous SBR techniques usually formulate the oil painting problem as pixel-wise approximation. Different from this technique route, we treat oil painting creation as an adaptive sampling problem. Firstly, we compute a probability density map based on the texture complexity of the input image. Then we use the Voronoi algorithm to sample a set of pixels as the stroke anchors. Next, we search and generate an individual oil stroke at each anchor. Finally, we place all the strokes on the canvas to obtain the oil painting. By adjusting the hyper-parameter maximum sampling probability, we can control the oil painting fineness in a linear manner. Comparison with existing state-of-the-art oil painting techniques shows that our results have higher fidelity and more realistic textures. A user opinion test demonstrates that people behave more preference toward our oil paintings than the results of other methods. More interesting results and the code are in https://github.com/TZYSJTU/Im2Oil.

description: Image-based salient object detection (ISOD) in 360° scenarios is significant for understanding and applying panoramic information. However, research on 360° ISOD has not been widely explored due to the lack of large, complex, high-resolution, and well-labeled datasets. Towards this end, we construct a large scale 360° ISOD dataset with object-level pixel-wise annotation on equirectangular projection (ERP), which contains rich panoramic scenes with not less than 2K resolution and is the largest dataset for 360° ISOD by far to our best knowledge. By observing the data, we find current methods face three significant challenges in panoramic scenarios: diverse distortion degrees, discontinuous edge effects and changeable object scales. Inspired by humans' observing process, we propose a view-aware salient object detection method based on a Sample Adaptive View Transformer (SAVT) module with two sub-modules to mitigate these issues. Specifically, the sub-module View Transformer (VT) contains three transform branches based on different kinds of transformations to learn various features under different views and heighten the model's feature toleration of distortion, edge effects and object scales. Moreover, the sub-module Sample Adaptive Fusion (SAF) is to adjust the weights of different transform branches based on various sample features and make transformed enhanced features fuse more appropriately. The benchmark results of 20 state-of-the-art ISOD methods reveal the constructed dataset is very challenging. Moreover, exhaustive experiments verify the proposed approach is practical and outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

description: An orthotropic metamaterial is composed of elements arrayed periodically in space. The element includes two cuboid structures. The first structure is the basic structure of the element, and the second structure is the transformation of the first structure of the element. The first structure of the element is a cuboid structure composed of 24 bars connected by 8 nodes, and the second structure of the element is a cuboid structure composed of 36 bars connected by 14 nodes. This metamaterial has 6 independent elastic constants, so there is a large degree of freedom in material design. Using a simple universal design method, a metamaterial with tailored elastic constants can be designed. Therefore, it has great application value in the fields of mechanical metamaterials, elastic wave metamaterials, acoustic metamaterials, and seismic metamaterials, and has also laid the foundation for realizing the dream of controlling elastic waves, acoustic waves and vibrations.

description: Uncertainty quantification (UQ) of subsurface two-phase flow usually requires numerous executions of forward simulations under varying conditions. In this work, a novel coupled theory-guided neural network (TgNN) based surrogate model is built to facilitate computation efficiency under the premise of satisfactory accuracy. The core notion of this proposed method is to bridge two separate blocks on top of an overall network. They underlie the TgNN model in a coupled form, which reflects the coupling nature of pressure and water saturation in the two-phase flow equation. The TgNN model not only relies on labeled data, but also incorporates underlying scientific theory and experiential rules (e.g., governing equations, stochastic parameter fields, boundary and initial conditions, well conditions, and expert knowledge) as additional components into the loss function. The performance of the TgNN-based surrogate model for two-phase flow problems is tested by different numbers of labeled data and collocation points, as well as the existence of data noise. The proposed TgNN-based surrogate model offers an effective way to solve the coupled nonlinear two-phase flow problem and demonstrates good accuracy and strong robustness when compared with the purely data-driven surrogate model. By combining the accurate TgNN-based surrogate model with the Monte Carlo method, UQ tasks can be performed at a minimum cost to evaluate statistical quantities. Since the heterogeneity of the random fields strongly impacts the results of the surrogate model, corresponding variance and correlation length are added to the input of the neural network to maintain its predictive capacity. The results show that the TgNN-based surrogate model achieves satisfactory accuracy, stability, and efficiency in UQ problems of subsurface two-phase flow.

description: We consider a model of randomness for self-similar Cantor sets of finite and positive $1$-Hausdorff measure. We find the sharp rate of decay of the probability that a Buffon needle lands $δ$-close to a Cantor set of this particular randomness. Two quite different models of randomness for Cantor sets, by Peres and Solomyak, and by Shiwen Zhang, appear to have the same order of decay for the Buffon needle probability: $\frac{c}{\log\frac{1}δ}$. In this note, we prove the same rate of decay for a third model of randomness, which asserts a vague feeling that any "reasonable" random Cantor set of positive and finite length will have Favard length of order $\frac{c}{\log\frac{1}δ}$ for its $δ$-neighbourhood. The estimate from below was obtained long ago by Mattila.

description: Increasing experimental evidence shows that humans combine concepts in a way that violates the rules of classical logic and probability theory. On the other hand, mathematical models inspired by the formalism of quantum theory are in accordance with data on concepts and their combinations. In this paper, we investigate a novel type of concept combination were a number is combined with a noun, e.g., `Eleven Animals. Our aim is to study 'conceptual identity' and the effects of 'indistinguishability' - in the combination 'Eleven Animals', the 'animals' are identical and indistinguishable - on the mechanisms of conceptual combination. We perform experiments on human subjects and find significant evidence of deviation from the predictions of classical statistical theories, more specifically deviations with respect to Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics. This deviation is of the 'same type' of the deviation of quantum mechanical from classical mechanical statistics, due to indistinguishability of microscopic quantum particles, i.e we find convincing evidence of the presence of Bose-Einstein statistics. We also present preliminary promising evidence of this phenomenon in a web-based study.

description: Questo studio esamina la corrispondenza inedita di una famiglia siciliana di contadini durante la Grande Guerra, concentrandosi sulle funzioni della scrittura. Dopo aver discusso criticamente il tema delle lettere e cartoline nella prima guerra mondiale, viene trattato in primo luogo l’aspetto formale dei testi, che si caratterizzano per la schematicità e la formularità con cui si sviluppa il repertorio tematico dell’epistolografia bellica. In secondo luogo, sono individuate le funzioni della scrittura secondo tre dimensioni: la performatività, il rapporto tra verità e inganno, la riflessione discorsiva sullo sviluppo della capacità di leggere e scrivere. Questo studio mira dunque a mettere in luce la complessità di queste scritture popolari come momento cruciale nella storia dell’italiano contemporaneo.
description: This study analyses the unpublished correspondence of a Sicilian peasant family during the Great War, focusing on the functions of writing. In the The subject of letters and postcards in the World War I is critically discussed, in the first place. Second, the formal aspect of the texts is dealt with, addressing the schematic and formulaic structure by which the thematic repertoire of wartime episolography is developed. The functions of writing are then identified, according to three dimensions: performativity, the relationship between truth and deception, and the discursive reflection on learning to read and write. This study thus aims to highlight the complexity of this kind of popular writings as a crucial moment in the history of contemporary Italian.

description: We investigate the condition on transmission radius needed to achieve connectivity in duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (briefly, DC-WSN). First, we settle a conjecture of Das et. al. (2012) and prove that the connectivity condition on Random Geometric Graphs (RGG), given by Gupta and Kumar (1989), can be used to derive a weak sufficient condition to achieve connectivity in DC-WSN. To find a stronger result, we define a new vertex-based random connection model which is of independent interest. Following a proof technique of Penrose (1991) we prove that when the density of the nodes approaches infinity then a finite component of size greater than 1 exists with probability 0 in this model. We use this result to obtain an optimal condition on node transmission radius which is both necessary and sufficient to achieve connectivity and is hence optimal. The optimality of such a radius is also tested via simulation for two specific duty-cycle schemes, called the contiguous and the random selection duty-cycle scheme. Finally, we design a minimum-radius duty-cycling scheme that achieves connectivity with a transmission radius arbitrarily close to the one required in Random Geometric Graphs. The overhead in this case is that we have to spend some time computing the schedule.

description: The ongoing energy transition requires power grid extensions to connect renewable generators to consumers and to transfer power among distant areas. The process of grid extension requires a large investment of resources and is supposed to make grid operation more robust. Yet, counter-intuitively, increasing the capacity of existing lines or adding new lines may also reduce the overall system performance and even promote blackouts due to Braess' paradox. Braess' paradox was theoretically modeled but not yet proven in realistically scaled power grids. Here, we present an experimental setup demonstrating Braess' paradox in an AC power grid and show how it constrains ongoing large-scale grid extension projects. We present a topological theory that reveals the key mechanism and predicts Braessian grid extensions from the network structure. These results offer a theoretical method to understand and practical guidelines in support of preventing unsuitable infrastructures and the systemic planning of grid extensions.

description: We present in this paper the design and characterisation of a new sub-system of the VLTI 2nd generation instrument GRAVITY: the Calibration Unit. The Calibration Unit provides all functions to test and calibrate the beam combiner instrument: it creates two artificial stars on four beams, and dispose of four delay lines with an internal metrology. It also includes artificial stars for the tip-tilt and pupil guiding systems, as well as four metrology pick-up diodes, for tests and calibration of the corresponding sub-systems. The calibration unit also hosts the reference targets to align GRAVITY to the VLTI, and the safety shutters to avoid the metrology light to propagate in the VLTI-lab. We present the results of the characterisation and validtion of these differrent sub-units.

description: A sensor is a device that converts a physical parameter or an environmental characteristic (e.g., temperature, distance, speed, etc.) into a signal that can be digitally measured and processed to perform specific tasks. Mobile robots need sensors to measure properties of their environment, thus allowing for safe navigation, complex perception and corresponding actions, and effective interactions with other agents that populate it. Sensors used by mobile robots range from simple tactile sensors, such as bumpers, to complex vision-based sensors such as structured light RGB-D cameras. All of them provide a digital output (e.g., a string, a set of values, a matrix, etc.) that can be processed by the robot's computer. Such output is typically obtained by discretizing one or more analog electrical signals by using an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) included in the sensor. In this chapter we present the most common sensors used in mobile robotics, providing an introduction to their taxonomy, basic features, and specifications. The description of the functionalities and the types of applications follows a bottom-up approach: the basic principles and components on which the sensors are based are presented before describing real-world sensors, which are generally based on multiple technologies and basic devices.

description: A software architecture defines the blueprints of a large computational system, and is thus a crucial part of the design and development effort. This task has been explored extensively in the context of mobile robots, resulting in a plethora of reference designs and implementations. As the software architecture defines the framework in which all components are implemented, it is naturally a very important aspect of a mobile robot system. In this chapter, we overview the requirements that the particular problem domain (a mobile robot system) imposes on the software framework. We discuss some of the current design solutions, provide a historical perspective on common frameworks, and outline directions for future development.

description: Recent theoretical advances, based on a combination of concepts from Thouless' topological theory of adiabatic charge transport and a newly introduced gauge-invariance principle for transport coefficients, have permitted to connect (and reconcile) Faraday's picture of ionic transport -- whereby each atom carries a well-defined integer charge -- with a rigorous quantum description of the electronic charge-density distribution, which hardly suggests its partition into well defined atomic contributions. In this paper we review these progress and in particular that, by relaxing some general topological conditions, charge may be transported in ionic conductors without any net ionic displacements. After reporting numerical experiments which corroborate these findings, we introduce a new connection between our topological picture and the well-known Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer, which we are able to connect with the topology of adiabatic paths drawn by atomic trajectories. As a significant byproduct, the results reviewed here permit to classify different regimes of ionic transport according to the topological properties of the electronic structure of the conducting material. We finally report on a few recent applications to energy materials and planetary sciences.
