description: The recently discovered layered kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A=K, Rb, and Cs) attract intensive interest due to their intertwining with superconductivity, charge-density-wave state, and nontrivial band topology. In this work, we show by first-principles calculations and symmetry arguments that unconventional type-II Dirac nodal line fermions close to the fermi level are present in another latest class of experimentally synthesized kagome compounds AV6Sb6 (A=K, Rb, and Cs). These compounds possess a unique kagome (V3Sb)2 bilayer that dominates their electronic and topological properties, instead of the kagome V3Sb monolayer in AV3Sb5. Crystal symmetry guarantees that the type-II Dirac nodal lines with quantized Berry phase lie in reflection-invariant planes of the Brillouin zone. We further reveal that the type-II Dirac nodal lines remain nearly intact in the presence of spin-orbital coupling and can be categorized as a Z2 classification. The findings establish AV6Sb6 as a class of new fascinating prototypes, which will extend the knowledge of interplay between unconventionally topological fermions and exotic quantum ordered states in kagome systems.

The t-stability number of a random graph

description: Given a graph G = (V,E), a vertex subset S is called t-stable (or t-dependent) if the subgraph G[S] induced on S has maximum degree at most t. The t-stability number of G is the maximum order of a t-stable set in G. We investigate the typical values that this parameter takes on a random graph on n vertices and edge probability equal to p. For any fixed 0 < p < 1 and fixed non-negative integer t, we show that, with probability tending to 1 as n grows, the t-stability number takes on at most two values which we identify as functions of t, p and n. The main tool we use is an asymptotic expression for the expected number of t-stable sets of order k. We derive this expression by performing a precise count of the number of graphs on k vertices that have maximum degree at most k. Using the above results, we also obtain asymptotic bounds on the t-improper chromatic number of a random graph (this is the generalisation of the chromatic number, where we partition of the vertex set of the graph into t-stable sets).

Analysis of handwritten personal signatures for identity verification
Creators: name: Omoruto, Francis Emmanuel Emauke
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: It is becoming increasingly necessary to be able to verify personnel identities quickly and accurately. The design of automated methods of performing this task is therefore of prime concern. Basing such an automated identity verifier on a generally accepted means of identity authentication such as the handwritten personal signature would make it quite widely acceptable in the community. Previous work in automated identity authentication by signature verification has shown that it is feasible to achieve a degree of accuracy quite superior to the average performance of human verifiers in a similar environment. In this thesis, the implementation of basic tools for the acquisition and analysis of certain signature variables for identity verification is reported. The larger set of possible metrics for a signature are described together with some of the criteria for the selection of the subset examined. The results of a pilot study utilizing these tools indicate the potential for a viable commercial application of the technique.
Social inclusion of vulnerable groups through participatory and emancipatory approaches. 
Implementing active citizenship and socially innovative actions in the framework of civil & human rights model of disability
Creators: name: Traina, Ivan <1976>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: M-PED/03 Didattica e pedagogia speciale

description: The research hypothesis of the thesis is that “an open participation in the co-creation of the services and environments, makes life easier for vulnerable groups”; assuming that the participatory and emancipatory approaches are processes of possible actions and changes aimed at facilitating people’s lives. 
The adoption of these approaches is put forward as the common denominator of social innovative practices that supporting inclusive processes allow a shift from a medical model to a civil and human rights approach to disability. 
The theoretical basis of this assumption finds support in many principles of Inclusive Education and the main focus of the hypothesis of research is on participation and emancipation as approaches aimed at facing emerging and existing problems related to inclusion.
The framework of reference for the research is represented by the perspectives adopted by several international documents concerning policies and interventions to promote and support the leadership and participation of vulnerable groups. 
In the first part an in-depth analysis of the main academic publications on the central themes of the thesis has been carried out. 
After investigating the framework of reference, the analysis focuses on the main tools of participatory and emancipatory approaches, which are able to connect with the concepts of active citizenship and social innovation.
In the second part two case studies concerning participatory and emancipatory  approaches in the areas of concern are presented and analyzed as example of the improvement of inclusion, through the involvement and participation of persons with disability.  The research has been developed using a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, aimed at providing a knowledge-base that fosters a shift from a situation of passivity and care towards a new scenario based on the person’s commitment in the elaboration of his/her own project of life.

description: The classical Monte Carlo method is used to study the properties of the ground state and phase transitions of the spin-pseudospin model, which describes a two-dimensional Ising magnet with competing charge and spin interactions. This competition leads to the ground state degeneracy and the frustration of the system. It is shown that the ground state degeneracy is observed in the frustration area with nonzero probabilities of the formation of two different ordered states. Based on the histogram analysis of the Monte Carlo data, the type of phase transitions is analyzed. It is found that, near the frustration point, first-order phase transitions are observed in the dependence on the ratio between the spin ($s = 1/2$) and pseudospin ($S = 1$) interactions.

description: We present high signal-to-noise measurements of the acoustic scale in the presence of nonlinear growth and redshift distortions using 320(Gpc/h)^3 of cosmological PM simulations. Using simple fitting methods, we obtain robust measurements of the acoustic scale with scatter close to that predicted by the Fisher matrix. We detect and quantify the shift in the acoustic scale by analyzing the power spectrum: we detect at greater than 5 sigma a decrease in the acoustic scale in the real-space matter power spectrum of 0.2% at z=1.5, growing to 0.45% at z=0.3. In redshift space, the shifts are about 25% larger: we detect a decrease of 0.25% of at z=1.5 and 0.54% at z=0.3. Despite the nonzero amounts, these shifts are highly predictable numerically, and hence removable within the standard ruler analysis of clustering data. Moreover, we show that a simple density-field reconstruction method substantially reduces the scatter and nonlinear shifts of the acoustic scale measurements: the shifts are reduced to less than 0.1% at z=0.3-1.5, even in the presence of non-negligible shot noise. Finally, we show that the ratio of the cosmological distance to the sound horizon that would be inferred from these fits is robust to variations in the parameterization of the fitting method and reasonable differences in the template cosmology.

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: We show that the classical Szasz analytic function $S_N(f)(x)$ is obtained by applying the pseudo-differential operator $f(N^{-1}D_θ)$ to the Bergman kernels for the Bargmann-Fock space. The expression generalizes immediately to any smooth polarized noncompact complete toric \kahler manifold, defining the generalized Szasz analytic function $S_{h^N}(f)(x)$. About $S_{h^N}(f)(x)$, we prove that it admits complete asymptotics and there exists a universal scaling limit. % We also consider some dilation operator composed with $S_{h^N}(f)(x)$ and we give an estimate about this composition. As an example, we will further compute $S_{h^N}(f)(x)$ for the Bergman metric on the unit ball.

Adults have a tuft of scales on the vertex, and a dense pecten of scales on the antennal scape, not quite forming an eye cap, as in the Lyonetiidae. They are differentiated from other yponomeutoid families by internal and wing venation characters. Larvae are leafminers. Until recently this group was treated as a subfamily within the Lyonetiidae; we follow Dugdale et al. (1999) in treating it at the family level. Eighteen species of Bedelliidae are known worldwide, all in the genus Bedellia. Fourteen of these are restricted to Hawaii, and two species are known from continental North America; one of the latter has re- cently been found in AB.

Stochastic vortex method for forced three-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations and pathwise convergence rate
Creators: name: Fontbona, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We develop a McKean-Vlasov interpretation of Navier-Stokes equations with external force field in the whole space, by associating with local mild $L^p$-solutions of the 3d-vortex equation a generalized nonlinear diffusion with random space-time birth that probabilistically describes creation of rotation in the fluid due to nonconservativeness of the force. We establish a local well-posedness result for this process and a stochastic representation formula for the vorticity in terms of a vector-weighted version of its law after its birth instant. Then we introduce a stochastic system of 3d vortices with mollified interaction and random space-time births, and prove the propagation of chaos property, with the nonlinear process as limit, at an explicit pathwise convergence rate. Convergence rates for stochastic approximation schemes of the velocity and the vorticity fields are also obtained. We thus extend and refine previous results on the probabilistic interpretation and stochastic approximation methods for the nonforced equation, generalizing also a recently introduced random space-time-birth particle method for the 2d-Navier-Stokes equation with force.

description: The OPERA neutrino oscillation experiment is based on the use of the Emulsion Cloud Chamber (ECC). In the OPERA ECC, nuclear emulsion films acting as very high precision tracking detectors are interleaved with lead plates providing a massive target for neutrino interactions. We report on studies related to the effects occurring from the contact between emulsion and lead. A low radioactivity lead is required in order to minimize the number of background tracks in emulsions and to achieve the required performance in the reconstruction of neutrino events. It was observed that adding other chemical elements to the lead, in order to improve the mechanical properties, may significantly increase the level of radioactivity on the emulsions. A detailed study was made in order to choose a lead alloy with good mechanical properties and an appropriate packing technique so as to have a low enough effective radioactivity.

description: In this paper we consider dark matter particle annihilation in the gravitational field of black holes. We obtain exact distribution function of the infalling dark matter particles, and compute the resulting flux and spectra of gamma rays coming from the objects. It is shown that the dark matter density significantly increases near a black hole. Particle collision energy becomes very high affecting relative cross-sections of various annihilation channels. We also discuss possible experimental consequences of these effects.

description: The variety of principal minors of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices, denoted $Z_{n}$, is invariant under the action of a group $G\subset \GL(2^{n})$ isomorphic to $\G$. We describe an irreducible $G$-module of degree $4$ polynomials constructed from Cayley's $2 \times 2 \times 2$ hyperdeterminant and show that it cuts out $Z_{n}$ set-theoretically. This solves the set-theoretic version of a conjecture of Holtz and Sturmfels. Standard techniques from representation theory and geometry are explored and developed for the proof of the conjecture and may be of use for studying similar $G$-varieties.

description: We investigate the unjamming response of disordered packings of frictional hard disks with the help of computer simulations. First, we generate jammed configurations of the disks and then force them to move again by local perturbations. We study the spatial distribution of the stress and displacement response and find long range effects of the perturbation in both cases. We record the penetration depth of the displacements and the critical force that is needed to make the system yield. These quantities are tested in two types of systems: in ideal homogeneous packings in zero gravity and in packings settled under gravity. The penetration depth and the critical force are sensitive to the interparticle friction coefficient. Qualitatively, the same nonmonotonic friction dependence is found both with and without gravity, however the location of the extrema are at different friction values. We discuss the role of the connectivity of the contact network and of the pressure gradient in the unjamming response.

description: A random Heegaard splitting is a 3-manifold obtained by using a random walk of length n on the mapping class group as the gluing map between two handlebodies. We show that the joint distribution of random walks of length n and their inverses is asymptotically independent, and converges to the product of the harmonic and reflected harmonic measures defined by the random walk. We use this to show that the translation length on the curve complex of a random walk grows linearly in the length of the walk, and similarly, that distance in the curve complex between the disc sets of a random Heegaard splitting grows linearly in n. In particular, this implies that a random Heegaard splitting is hyperbolic with asymptotic probability one.

description: One of the most challenging aspects of current single-document news summarization is that the summary often contains 'extrinsic hallucinations', i.e., facts that are not present in the source document, which are often derived via world knowledge. This causes summarization systems to act more like open-ended language models tending to hallucinate facts that are erroneous. In this paper, we mitigate this problem with the help of multiple supplementary resource documents assisting the task. We present a new dataset MiRANews and benchmark existing summarization models. In contrast to multi-document summarization, which addresses multiple events from several source documents, we still aim at generating a summary for a single document. We show via data analysis that it's not only the models which are to blame: more than 27% of facts mentioned in the gold summaries of MiRANews are better grounded on assisting documents than in the main source articles. An error analysis of generated summaries from pretrained models fine-tuned on MiRANews reveals that this has an even bigger effects on models: assisted summarization reduces 55% of hallucinations when compared to single-document summarization models trained on the main article only.

description: It is demonstrated experimentally that strongly-coupled plasma exhibits solid superheating. A 2D suspension of microspheres in dusty plasma, initially self-organized in a solid lattice, was heated and then cooled rapidly by turning laser heating on and off. Particles were tracked using video microscopy, allowing atomistic-scale observation during melting and solidification. During rapid heating, the suspension remained in a solid structure at temperatures above the melting point, demonstrating solid superheating. Hysteresis diagrams did not indicate liquid supercooling in this 2D system.

description: In the present paper, that is the second part devoted to the construction of an electroweak model based on a nonlinear realization of the gauge group SU(2) X U(1), we study the tree-level vertex functional with all the sources necessary for the functional formulation of the relevant symmetries (Local Functional Equation, Slavnov-Taylor identity, Landau Gauge Equation) and for the symmetric removal of the divergences. The Weak Power Counting criterion is proven in the presence of the novel sources. The local invariant solutions of the functional equations are constructed in order to represent the counterterms for the one-loop subtractions. The bleaching technique is fully extended to the fermion sector. The neutral sector of the vector mesons is analyzed in detail in order to identify the physical fields for the photon and the Z boson. The identities necessary for the decoupling of the unphysical modes are fully analyzed. These latter results are crucially bound to the Landau gauge used throughout the paper.

Smart spatial incentives for market-based conservation

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: Market-based instruments such as payments, auctions or tradable permits have been proposed as flexible and cost-effective instruments for biodiversity conservation on private lands. Trading the service of conservation requires one to define a metric that determines the extent to which a conserved site adds to the regional conservation objective. Yet, while markets for conservation are widely discussed and increasingly applied, little research has been conducted on explicitly accounting for spatial ecological processes in the trading. In this paper, we use a coupled ecological economic simulation model to examine how spatial connectivity may be considered in the financial incentives created by a market-based conservation scheme. Land use decisions, driven by changing conservation costs and the conservation market, are simulated by an agent-based model of land users. On top of that, a metapopulation model evaluates the conservational success of the market. We find that optimal spatial incentives for agents correlate with species characteristics such as the dispersal distance, but they also depend on the spatio-temporal distribution of conservation costs. We conclude that a combined analysis of ecological and socio-economic conditions should be applied when designing market instruments to protect biodiversity.

description: We consider the maximum entropy problems associated with Rényi $Q$-entropy, subject to two kinds of constraints on expected values. The constraints considered are a constraint on the standard expectation, and a constraint on the generalized expectation as encountered in nonextensive statistics. The optimum maximum entropy probability distributions, which can exhibit a power-law behaviour, are derived and characterized. The Rényi entropy of the optimum distributions can be viewed as a function of the constraint. This defines two families of entropy functionals in the space of possible expected values. General properties of these functionals, including nonnegativity, minimum, convexity, are documented. Their relationships as well as numerical aspects are also discussed. Finally, we work out some specific cases for the reference measure $Q(x)$ and recover in a limit case some well-known entropies.

This approach also differs from the methodology developed in Cvitanić and Karatzas (Bernoulli 7 (2001) 79--97).

description: We note the separation of a quantum description of an experiment into a statement of results (as probabilities) and an explanation of these results (in terms of linear operators). The inverse problem of choosing an explanation to fit given results is analyzed, leading to the conclusion that any quantum description comes as an element of a family of related descriptions, entailing multiple statements of results and multiple explanations. Facing this multiplicity opens avenues for exploration and consequences that are only beginning to be explored. Among the consequences are these: (1) statements of results impose topologies on control parameters, without resort to any quantum explanation; (2) an endless source of distinct explanations forces an open cycle of exploration and description bringing more and more control parameters into play, and (3) ambiguity of description is essential to the concept of invariance in physics.

description: The paper gives a short report on surveys conducted in the framework of the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project. Focus of is laid on the comparison of two intensive on-site surveys at Molino San Vincenzo which were carried out under differing conditions in 2013 and 2016 and achieved differing results since in 2013 the visibility was much lower than in 2016 due to vegetation and therefore the only a limited number of artefacts could be found. The results of the re-survey in 2016 offered the opportunity to evaluate on-site survey methods. One of the main questions is the reliability of survey results even with low finds numbers. The pluri-methodological approach of the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project enables also a discussion of assets and shortcomings of other methodologies, especially geophysical prospections and shovel-testing, in terms of their suitability to detect the sites still unexcavated.
Universality in percolation of arbitrary Uncorrelated Nested Subgraphs

description: The study of percolation in so-called {\em nested subgraphs} implies a generalization of the concept of percolation since the results are not linked to specific graph process. Here the behavior of such graphs at criticallity is studied for the case where the nesting operation is performed in an uncorrelated way. Specifically, I provide an analyitic derivation for the percolation inequality showing that the cluster size distribution under a generalized process of uncorrelated nesting at criticality follows a power law with universal exponent $γ=3/2$. The relevance of the result comes from the wide variety of processes responsible for the emergence of the giant component that fall within the category of nesting operations, whose outcome is a family of nested subgraphs.

Numerical study of two-body correlation in a 1D lattice with perfect blockade

description: We compute the dynamics of excitation and two-body correlation for two-level "pseudoatoms" in a 1D lattice. We adopt a simplified model where pair excitation within a finite range is perfectly blocked. Each superatom is initially in the ground state, and then subjected to an external driving laser with Rabi frequency satisfying a Poissonian distribution, mimicking the scenario as in Rydberg gases. We find that two-body quantum correlation drops very fast with the distance between pseudoatoms. However, the total correlation decays slowly even at large distance. Our results may be useful to the understanding of Rydberg gases in the strong blockade regime.

description: The paper focuses on the zooarchaeological material of the Roman period of the site Molino San Vincenzo and its role in the context of Roman rural sites in the adjacent regions in Tuscany. The basic results of the animal bones’ analysis are discussed and set in comparison to other Roman dated sites in this region. Based on these observations, it can be stated that, at Molino San Vincenzo in particular, small ruminants and pigs dominated the picture of animal husbandry. Since sheep represent a relatively high amount, a small livestock husbandry-related agriculture hypothesis can be established.
Investigation of two coronal mass ejections from circular ribbon source region: Origin, Sun-Earth propagation and Geo-effectiveness

description: In this article, we compare the properties of two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that show similar source region characteristics but different evolutionary behavior in the later phases. We discuss the two events in terms of their near-Sun characteristics, interplanetary evolution, and geo-effectiveness. We carefully analyzed the initiation and propagation parameters of these events to establish the precise CME-ICME connection and their near-Earth consequences. The First event was associated with poor geo-magentic storm disturbance index (Dst $\approx$-20 nT) while the second event is associated with intense geomagnetic storm of DST $\approx$-119 nT. The configuration of the sunspots in the active regions and their evolution are observed by Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). For source region imaging, we rely on data obtained from Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and H$α$ filtergrams from Solar Tower Telescope at Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES). For both the CMEs, flux rope eruptions from the source region triggered flares of similar intensities ($\approx$M1). At the solar source region of the eruptions, we observed circular ribbon flare (CRF) for both the cases, suggesting fan-spine magnetic configuration in the active region corona.

description: We construct electrically charged AdS_5 black hole solutions whose charge, mass and boost-parameters vary slowly with the space-time coordinates. From the perspective of the dual theory, these are equivalent to hydrodynamic configurations with varying chemical potential, temperature and velocity fields. We compute the boundary theory transport coefficients associated with a derivative expansion of the energy momentum tensor and R-charge current up to second order. In particular, we find a first order transport coefficient associated with the axial component of the current.

description: The paper gives a short account on the topography and settlement geography of the study area. A first focus is laid on toponyms and the possible hints the naming of settlements can give. In a second step the paper highlights traffic routes and their traces in the region of Empoli and the valleys of Orme, Virginio and Pesa in Northern Tuscany which have been studies through geomorphological observations, reconnaissance and intensive surveys and the study of historical maps and other archival sources. After treating the main connection routes in Roman times like the via Quinctia the focus is laid on the minor roads in order to overcome the one-sided view on the larger Roman roads. By that a more detailed picture of the connectivity of the region studied is gained and the various historical layers of mobility are identified.

description: In the paper models for different agricultural cultivation in Roman Tuscany are presented. By evaluating the landscape and the known Roman infrastructure in accordance with the preferences and priorities of Roman farmers as indicated by the so-called agronomists, so-called Suitability Maps have been modelled which denote more or less suitable regions for different cultivations. Since the sample size of the known Roman rural sites within the research region is slight so-called Monte Carlo simulations were carried out in order to statistically compensate this disadvantage it. In total, it can be shown that the location choices seem to be made intentionally.
Is loop quantization in cosmology unique?

description: We re-examine the process of loop quantization for flat isotropic models in cosmology. In particular, we contrast different inequivalent `loop quantizations' of these simple models through their respective successes and limitations and assess whether they can lead to any viable physical description. We propose three simple requirements which any such admissible quantum model should satisfy: i) independence from any auxiliary structure, such as a fiducial interval/cell introduced to define the phase space when integrating over non-compact manifolds; ii) existence of a well defined classical limit and iii) provide a sensible "Planck scale" where quantum gravitational effects become manifest. We show that even when it may seem that one can have several possible loop quantizations, these physical requirements considerably narrow down the consistent choices. Apart for the so called improved dynamics of LQC, none of the other available inequivalent loop quantizations pass above tests, showing the limitations of lattice refinement models to approximate the homogeneous sector and loop modified quantum geometrodynamics. We conclude that amongst a large class of loop quantizations in isotropic cosmology, there is a unique consistent choice.
