CREATING LABELED SYNTHETIC DATA FOR THE TRAVELING SALESMAN PROBLEM
Creators: name: Sudakov, Vladimir
name: Avramenko, Alexander
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This paper addresses the issue of features in synthetic data used for solving the traveling salesman problem (TSP). The focus is on the quality of synthetic data and their ability to mimic real-world data. A general scheme of the augmentation algorithm, which generates adjacency matrices with uniformly distributed values, is presented. The impact of value distribution on the algorithm's performance is investigated, particularly its effectiveness on data distributed according to the Poisson distribution. Testing results indicate that the choice of distribution does not significantly affect the algorithm's performance. Additionally, the time required to solve synthetic problems using the branch and bound method is analyzed, confirming the acceptable quality of the augmentation algorithm. The conclusions emphasize the need for thorough verification of synthetic data for issues such as insufficient variability, distribution shifts, and artifact emergence to enhance the generalization capability of models trained on such data.

description: We are reporting on a new accurate photographic light curve of Pluto for 1933-1934 when the heliocentric distance was 40 AU. We used 43 B-band and V-band images of Pluto on 32 plates taken on 15 nights from 19 March 1933 to 10 March 1934. Most of these plates were taken with the Mount Wilson 60" and 100" telescopes, but 7 of the plates (now at the Harvard College Observatory) were taken with the 12" and 16" Metcalf doublets at Oak Ridge. The plates were measured with an iris diaphragm photometer, which has an average one-sigma photometric error on these plates of 0.08 mag as measured by the repeatability of constant comparison stars. The modern B and V magnitudes for the comparison stars were measured with the Lowell Observatory Hall 1.1-m telescope. The magnitudes in the plate's photographic system were converted to the Johnson B- and V-system after correction with color terms, even though they are small in size. We find that the average B-band mean opposition magnitude of Pluto in 1933-1934 was 15.73 +- 0.01, and we see a roughly sinusoidal modulation on the rotational period (6.38 days) with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.11 +- 0.03 mag. With this, we show that Pluto darkened by 5% from 1933-1934 to 1953-1955. This darkening from 1933-1934 to 1953-1955 cannot be due to changing viewing geometry (as both epochs had identical sub-Earth latitudes), so our observations must record a real albedo change over the southern hemisphere. The later darkening trend from 1954 to the 1980s has been explained by changing viewing geometry (as more of the darker northern hemisphere comes into view). Thus, we now have strong evidence for albedo changes on the surface of Pluto, and these are most easily explained by the systematic sublimation of frosts from the sunward pole that led to a drop in the mean surface albedo.

Reconciling results of LSND, MiniBooNE and other experiments with soft decoherence

description: We propose an explanation of the LSND signal via quantum-decoherence of the mass states, which leads to damping of the interference terms in the oscillation probabilities. The decoherence parameters as well as their energy dependence are chosen in such a way that the damping affects only oscillations with the large (atmospheric) $Δm^2$ and rapidly decreases with the neutrino energy. This allows us to reconcile the positive LSND signal with MiniBooNE and other null-result experiments. The standard explanations of solar, atmospheric, KamLAND and MINOS data are not affected. No new particles, and in particular, no sterile neutrinos are needed. The LSND signal is controlled by the 1-3 mixing angle $θ_{13}$ and, depending on the degree of damping, yields $0.0014 < \sin^2θ_{13} < 0.034$ at $3σ$. The scenario can be tested at upcoming $θ_{13}$ searches: while the comparison of near and far detector measurements at reactors should lead to a null-result a positive signal for $θ_{13}$ is expected in long-baseline accelerator experiments. The proposed decoherence may partially explain the results of Gallium detector calibrations and it can strongly affect supernova neutrino signals.

description: Quantum control is traditionally expressed through bilinear models and their associated Lie algebra controllability criteria. But, the first order approximation are not always sufficient and higher order developpements are used in recent works. Motivated by these applications, we give in this paper a criterion that applies to situations where the evolution operator is expressed as sum of possibly non-linear real functionals of the control that multiplies some time independent (coupling) operators.

description: Although (103) is a stable nominal orientation for both silicon and germanium, experimental observations revealed that in the case of silicon this surface remains disordered on an atomic scale even after careful annealing. We report here a set of low-energy reconstruction models corresponding to $1\times 2$, $2\times 2$, and $1\times 4$ periodicities, and propose that the observed disorder stems from the presence of several coexisting reconstructions with different morphologies and nearly equal surface energies. These models also suggest that the model structures previously reported in the literature for the (103) orientation have very high surface energies and are thus unlikely to be experimentally observed.

(i) We point out and correct an inconsistency in the derivation of Arun, Blanchet, Iyer, and Qusailah. (ii) We prove that all contributions from radiation reaction in the 2.5PN waveform are actually negligible since they can be absorbed into a modification of the orbital phase at the 5PN order.

The development and implementation of health manpower planning in Canada with special reference to British Columbia
Creators: name: Manning, Wendy Gaye
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study is threefold: a) to review current health manpower planning methodologies b) to describe in context, the growth and changes in medical manpower planning in Canada with special reference to British Columbia. The manpower issues in five other health professional areas will also be explored. c) to critique the Canadian and British Columbian manpower planning processes using current models and recommend on changes to the system which would increase effectiveness. The Canadian health care system sets the stage for a study of the development of health manpower structures and efforts in Canada. The role of the third party payment system is investigated as the primary reason for government's increased interest in the control of physician manpower and health care labour costs in general. Problems in defining health and jurisdictional overlaps are outlined. Planning models and their relation to health manpower planning are described. Government's interest to replace the entrepreneurial planning methods which preceded health insurance with rational planning methods is discussed. The major rational planning methods and their limitations are reviewed. These include physician-population ratios, manpower needs, economic demand and service target methods. Formal federal and provincial structures established to address manpower issues are analyzed as are the buffer and lobby groups established to moderate their efforts. As physician manpower planning is the pattern setter for all other health manpower planning, issues in this area are examined in considerable detail. This discussion is followed by a consideration of planning in five other health professional areas: nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, rehabilitation and dietetics. This discussion shows how these groups have all concerned themselves with their own individual situations and not with interprofessional areas. Individual professional priorities are also discussed. Insensitivity to the health care system generally and a lack of understanding of rational planning in relation to other planning modes seem to be the. reason for unsuccessful attempts in health manpower planning. It is recommended these failings be addressed if this planning activity is to continue.

description: We procure the complete set of (anti-)BRST as well as (anti-)co-BRST symmetry transformations of the Friedberg-Lee-Pang-Ren (FLPR) model within the framework of the supervariable approach. Additionally, we capture the nilpotency and absolute anti-commutativity aspects of these symmetries, along with the invariance of the Lagrangian in terms of translational generators along the Grassmannian directions in the context of the supervariable approach. The anti-commutator of the (anti-)BRST and (anti-)co-BRST symmetries generates a novel bosonic symmetry that retains the ghost part of the Lagrangian invariant. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the system under consideration respects the ghost scale and discrete symmetries, in addition to other symmetries. We show that the generators of all these symmetries cling to the algebra obeyed by the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry - thus, the FLPR model presents a toy model for the Hodge theory.

The Delay Time Distribution of Type Ia Supernovae and the Single Degenerate Model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a theoretical delay time distribution (DTD) of Type Ia supernovae on the basis of our new evolutionary models of single degenerate (SD) progenitor systems. Our model DTD has almost a featureless power law shape (\propto t^{-n} with n \approx 1) for the delay time from t \sim 0.1 to 10 Gyr. This is in good agreement with the recent direct measurement of DTD. The observed featureless property of the DTD has been suggested to be favorable for the double degenerate (DD) scenario but not for the SD scenario. If the mass range of the companion star to the white dwarf (WD) were too narrow in the SD model, its DTD would be too limited around the companion's main-sequence lifetime to be consistent with the observed DTD. However, this is not the case in our SD model that consists of the two channels of WD + RG (red giant) and WD + MS (main-sequence star). In these channels, the companion stars have a mass range of \sim 0.9-3 M_\sun (WD+RG) and \sim 2- 6 M_\sun (WD+MS). The combined mass range is wide enough to yield the featureless DTD. We emphasize that the SD scenario should include two important processes: the optically thick winds from the mass-accreting WD and the mass-stripping from the companion star by the WD wind.

description: Security challenges for Cloud or Fog-based machine learning services pose several concerns. Securing the underlying Cloud or Fog services is essential, as successful attacks against these services, on which machine learning applications rely, can lead to significant impairments of these applications. Because the requirements for AI applications can also be different, we differentiate according to whether they are used in the Cloud or in a Fog Computing network. This then also results in different threats or attack possibilities. For Cloud platforms, the responsibility for security can be divided between different parties. Security deficiencies at a lower level can have a direct impact on the higher level where user data is stored. While responsibilities are simpler for Fog Computing networks, by moving services to the edge of the network, we have to secure them against physical access to the devices. We conclude by outlining specific information security requirements for AI applications.

description: We consider the problem of supply chain data visibility in a blockchain-enabled supply chain network. Existing methods typically record transactions happening in a supply chain on a single blockchain and are limited in their ability to deal with different levels of data visibility. To address this limitation, we present FoodFresh -- a multi-chain consortium where organizations store immutable data on their blockchains. A decentralized hub coordinates the cross-chain exchange of digital assets among the heterogeneous blockchains. Mechanisms for enabling blockchain interoperability help to preserve the benefits of independent sovereign blockchains while allowing for data sharing across blockchain boundaries.

description: The abelian Chern-Simons theory is considered on a cylindrical spacetime $\mathbb{R} \times D$, in a not necessarily flat Lorentzian background. As in the flat bulk case with planar boundary, we find that also on the radial boundary of a curved background a Kaç-Moody algebra exists, with the same central charge as in the flat case, which henceforth depends neither on the bulk metric nor on the geometry of the boundary. The holographically induced theory on the 2D boundary is topologically protected, in the sense that it describes a Luttinger liquid, no matter which the bulk metric is. The main result of this paper is that a remnant of the 3D bulk theory resides in the chiral velocity of the edge modes, which is not a constant like in the flat bulk case, but it is local, depending on the determinant of the induced metric on the boundary. This result may provide a theoretical framework for the recently observed accelerated chiral bosons on the edge of some Hall systems.

description: Traditional multi-view stereo (MVS) methods rely heavily on photometric and geometric consistency constraints, but newer machine learning-based MVS methods check geometric consistency across multiple source views only as a post-processing step. In this paper, we present a novel approach that explicitly encourages geometric consistency of reference view depth maps across multiple source views at different scales during learning (see Fig. 1). We find that adding this geometric consistency loss significantly accelerates learning by explicitly penalizing geometrically inconsistent pixels, reducing the training iteration requirements to nearly half that of other MVS methods. Our extensive experiments show that our approach achieves a new state-of-the-art on the DTU and BlendedMVS datasets, and competitive results on the Tanks and Temples benchmark. To the best of our knowledge, GC-MVSNet is the first attempt to enforce multi-view, multi-scale geometric consistency during learning.

description: In the ever-growing Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, smart power management algorithms combined with energy harvesting solutions are crucial to obtain self-sustainability. This paper presents an energy-aware adaptive sampling rate algorithm designed for embedded deployment in resource-constrained, battery-powered IoT devices. The algorithm, based on a finite state machine (FSM) and inspired by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Reno's additive increase and multiplicative decrease, maximizes sensor sampling rates, ensuring power self-sustainability without risking battery depletion. Moreover, we characterized our solar cell with data acquired over 48 days and used the model created to obtain energy data from an open-source world-wide dataset. To validate our approach, we introduce the EcoTrack device, a versatile device with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) capabilities and Long-Term Evolution Machine Type Communication (LTE-M) connectivity, supporting MQTT protocol for cloud data relay. This multi-purpose device can be used, for instance, as a health and safety wearable, remote hazard monitoring system, or as a global asset tracker. The results, validated on data from three different European cities, show that the proposed algorithm enables self-sustainability while maximizing sampled locations per day. In experiments conducted with a 3000 mAh battery capacity, the algorithm consistently maintained a minimum of 24 localizations per day and achieved peaks of up to 3000.

description: We present a structured illumination microscopy system that projects a hexagonal pattern by the interference among three coherent beams, suitable for implementation in a light-sheet geometry. Seven images acquired as the illumination pattern is shifted laterally can be processed to produce a super-resolved image that surpasses the diffraction-limited resolution by a factor of over 2 in an exemplar light-sheet arrangement. Three methods of processing data are discussed depending on whether the raw images are available in groups of seven, individually in a stream or as a larger batch representing a three-dimensional stack. We show that imaging axially moving samples can introduce artefacts, visible as fine structures in the processed images. However, these artefacts are easily removed by a filtering operation carried out as part of the batch processing algorithm for three-dimensional stacks. The reconstruction algorithms implemented in Python include specific optimizations for calculation on a graphics processing unit and we demonstrate its operation on experimental data of static objects and on simulated data of moving objects. We show that the software can process over 239 input raw frames per second at 512 × 512 pixels, generating over 34 super-resolved frames per second at 1024 × 1024 pixels.This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘SIMposium (part 1)’.
The interaction between Rhizobium and Fusarium Solani F. Sp. Phaseoli and Rhizoctonia Solani
Creators: name: Smulders, Andrea Joanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Indigenous Rhizobium isolates from naturally-formed bean root nodules were antagonistic to some of the root rotting pathogens of snap bean. Rhizobium isolates inhibited the radial growth of Fusarium species in dual culture agar plate tests but were not inhibitory to Rhizoctonia solani or Pythium isolates. With one exception, all indigenous Rhizobium isolates showed some degree of antagonism towards F. solani f. sp. phaseoli in vitro. The level of in vitro inhibition depended upon the agar plate technique utilized. A high level of in vitro inhibitory activity was recorded in 38% of the Rhizobium isolates tested where wide zones of inhibition formed between the test isolates and persisted for more than 1 week. A similar inhibitory effect of 8/17 nodulating Rhizobium isolates to Fusarium root rot of snap bean was observed in growth pouch experiments. Protection of bean plants from severe Fusarium root rot occurred in combinations where the inoculum concentration of Rhizobium (10\ 106 cells/pouch) was equal to or greater than the inoculum concentration of F_. solani (10² , 10⁴ spores/pouch). Ten Rhizobium isolates, which were highly antagonistic in vitro, had no apparent inhibitory effect on Fusarium root rot in vivo. Two Rhizobium isolates, RCC324 and RCC607, inhibitory to Fusarium root rot did not reduce Rhizoctonia root rot of bean. Soil experiments supported the results of growth pouch experiments whereby inoculation of bean seed with a high concentration of Rhizobium (RCC106 at 10⁸ cells/seed) effectively reduced bean root rot incited by a low inoculum potential of the pathogen, F. solani (inoculum: soil, 1:10⁴ or 1:120). These results indicated the potential exists for field control of Fusarium root rot of snap bean by a highly antagonistic nodulating isolate of Rhizobium.

description: We investigate the quantum behavior of a mesoscopic two-boson system produced by number-squeezing ultracold gases of alkali metal atoms. The quantum Poincare maps of the wavefunctions are affected by chaos in those regions of the phase space where the classical dynamics produces features that are comparable to hbar. We also investigate the possibility for quantum control in the dynamics of excitations in these systems. Controlled excitations are mediated by pulsed signals that cause Stimulated Raman Adiabatic passage (STIRAP) from the ground state to a state of higher energy. The dynamics of this transition is affected by chaos caused by the pulses in certain regions of the phase space. A transition to chaos can thus provide a method of controlling STIRAP.

This context maybe be conversational (relying on previous user queries or system responses), visual (relying on what the user sees, for example, on their screen), or background (based on signals such as a ringing alarm or playing music). In this work, we present an overview of MARRS, or Multimodal Reference Resolution System, an on-device framework within a Natural Language Understanding system, responsible for handling conversational, visual and background context. In particular, we present different machine learning models to enable handing contextual queries; specifically, one to enable reference resolution, and one to handle context via query rewriting. We also describe how these models complement each other to form a unified, coherent, lightweight system that can understand context while preserving user privacy.

description: We present a detailed study of the Thallium, neutron, Mercury and deuteron electric dipole moments (EDMs) in the CP-violating Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). We take into account the complete set of one-loop graphs, the dominant Higgs-mediated two-loop diagrams, the complete CP-odd dimension-six Weinberg operator and the Higgs-mediated four-fermion operators. We improve upon earlier calculations by including the resummation effects due to CP-violating Higgs-boson mixing and to threshold corrections to the Yukawa couplings of all up- and down-type quarks and charged leptons. As an application of our study, we analyse the EDM constraints on the CPX, trimixing and Maximally CP- and Minimally Flavour-Violating (MCPMFV) scenarios. Cancellations may occur among the CP-violating contributions to the three measured EDMs arising from the 6 CP-violating phases in the MCPMFV scenario, leaving open the possibility of relatively large contributions to other CP-violating observables. The analytic expressions for the EDMs are implemented in an updated version of the code CPsuperH2.0.

description: Background: In recent years, Low-code development (LCD) is growing rapidly, and Gartner and Forrester have predicted that the use of LCD is very promising. Giant companies, such as Microsoft, Mendix, and Outsystems have also launched their LCD platforms. Aim: In this work, we explored two popular online developer communities, Stack Overflow (SO) and Reddit, to provide insights on the characteristics and challenges of LCD from a practitioners' perspective. Method: We used two LCD related terms to search the relevant posts in SO and extracted 73 posts. Meanwhile, we explored three LCD related subreddits from Reddit and collected 228 posts. We extracted data from these posts and applied the Constant Comparison method to analyze the descriptions, benefits, and limitations and challenges of LCD. For platforms and programming languages used in LCD, implementation units in LCD, supporting technologies of LCD, types of applications developed by LCD, and domains that use LCD, we used descriptive statistics to analyze and present the results. Results: Our findings show that: (1) LCD may provide a graphical user interface for users to drag and drop with little or even no code; (2) the equipment of out-of-the-box units (e.g., APIs and components) in LCD platforms makes them easy to learn and use as well as speeds up the development; (3) LCD is particularly favored in the domains that have the need for automated processes and workflows; and (4) practitioners have conflicting views on the advantages and disadvantages of LCD. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that researchers should clearly define the terms when they refer to LCD, and developers should consider whether the characteristics of LCD are appropriate for their projects.

description: We investigate statistical properties of LRGs in a sample of X-ray selected galaxy clusters at intermediate redshift ($0.2\le z\le0.6$). The LRGs are selected based on carefully designed color criteria, and the cluster membership is assessed via photometric redshifts. As clusters and LRGs are both viewed as promising tracer of the underlying dark matter distribution, understanding the distribution of LRGs within clusters is an important issue. Our main findings include: 1. The halo occupation distribution of LRGs inside our cluster sample is $N(M) = k\times (M/10^{14})^{a}$ where $a=0.620\pm 0.105 $ and $k=1.425\pm0.285 $ assuming a Poisson distribution for $N(M)$. 2. The halo occupation distribution of LRGs ($N(M)$) and the satellite distribution of LRGs ($N-1(M)$) are both consistent with being Poisson. To be more quantitative, we find $Var(N)/= 1.428\pm 0.351$ and $Var(N-1)/ = 1.823 \pm 0.496$ 3. The radial profile of LRGs within clusters when fitted with a NFW profile gives a concentration of $17.5^{+7.1}_{-4.3}$ ($6.0^{+3.2}_{-1.9}$) including (excluding) BLRGs (Brightest LRGs). We also discuss the implications of these observations on the evolution of massive galaxies in clusters.

description: We present CO(2-1) and $^{13}$CO(2-1) maps of the Cygnus-X molecular cloud complex using the 10m Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope (SMT). The maps cover the southern portion of the complex which is strongly impacted by the feedback from the Cygnus OB2 association. Combining CO(1-0) and $^{13}$CO(1-0) maps from the Nobeyama 45m Cygnus-X CO Survey, we carry out a multi-transition molecular line analysis with RADEX and derive the volume density of velocity-coherent gas components. We select those components with a column density in the power-law tail part of the column density probability distribution function (N-PDF) and assemble their volume density into a volume density PDF ($ρ$-PDF). The $ρ$-PDF exhibits a power-law shape in the range of 10$^{4.5}$ cm$^{-3}$ $\lesssim n_{\rm H_2} \lesssim$ 10$^{5.5}$ cm$^{-3}$ with a fitted slope of $α= -1.12 \pm 0.05$. The slope is shallower than what is predicted by simulations of rotationally supported structures or those undergoing gravitational collapse. Applying the same analysis to synthetic observations with feedback may help identify the cause of the shallow slope. The $ρ$-PDF provides another useful benchmark for testing models of molecular cloud formation and evolution.

description: By considering distance-regular graphs as spin networks, first we introduce some particular spin Hamiltonians which are extended version of those of Refs.\cite{8,9''}. Then, by using spectral analysis techniques and algebraic combinatoric structure of distance-regular graphs such as stratification introduced in \cite{obata, js} and Bose-Mesner algebra, we give a method for finding a set of coupling constants in the Hamiltonians so that a particular state initially encoded on one site of a network will evolve freely to the opposite site without any dynamical controls, i.e., we show that how to derive the parameters of the system so that perfect state transfer (PST) can be achieved. As examples, the cycle networks with even number of vertices and $d$-dimensional hypercube networks are considered in details and the method is applied for some important distance-regular networks in appendix.

description: Polymer exchange membrane fuel cells have the potential to replace current fossil fuel-based technologies in terms of emissions and efficiency, but CO contamination of H2 fuel, which is derived from steam methane reforming, leads to system inefficiency or failure. Solutions currently under development are bimetallic nanoparticles comprised of earth-abundant metals in different architectures to reduce the concentration of CO by PROX during fuel cell operation. Chapter One introduces the Pt-Sn and Co-Ni bimetallic nanoparticle systems, and the intermetallic and core-shell architectures of interest

for catalytic evaluation. Application, theory, and studies associated with the efficacy of these nanoparticles are briefly reviewed. Chapter Two describes the concepts of the synthetic and characterization methods used in this work. Chapter Three presents the synthetic, characterization, and catalytic findings of this research. Pt, PtSn, PtSn2, and Pt3Sn nanoparticles have been synthesized and supported on γ-Al2O3. Pt3Sn was shown to be an effective PROX catalyst in various gas feed conditions, such as the gas mixture incorporating 0.1% CO, which displayed a light-off temperatures of ~95°C. Co and Ni monometallic and CoNi bimetallic nanoparticles have been synthesized and characterized, ultimately leading to the development of target Co@Ni core-shell nanoparticles. Proposed studies of catalytic properties of these nanoparticles in preferential oxidation of CO (PROX) reactions will further elucidate the effects of different crystallographic phases, nanoparticle-support interactions, and architecture on catalysis, and provide fundamental understanding of catalysis with nanoparticles composed of earth abundant metals in different architectures.
SBCFormer: Lightweight Network Capable of Full-size ImageNet Classification at 1 FPS on Single Board Computers

description: Computer vision has become increasingly prevalent in solving real-world problems across diverse domains, including smart agriculture, fishery, and livestock management. These applications may not require processing many image frames per second, leading practitioners to use single board computers (SBCs). Although many lightweight networks have been developed for mobile/edge devices, they primarily target smartphones with more powerful processors and not SBCs with the low-end CPUs. This paper introduces a CNN-ViT hybrid network called SBCFormer, which achieves high accuracy and fast computation on such low-end CPUs. The hardware constraints of these CPUs make the Transformer's attention mechanism preferable to convolution. However, using attention on low-end CPUs presents a challenge: high-resolution internal feature maps demand excessive computational resources, but reducing their resolution results in the loss of local image details. SBCFormer introduces an architectural design to address this issue. As a result, SBCFormer achieves the highest trade-off between accuracy and speed on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with an ARM-Cortex A72 CPU. For the first time, it achieves an ImageNet-1K top-1 accuracy of around 80% at a speed of 1.0 frame/sec on the SBC. Code is available at https://github.com/xyongLu/SBCFormer.

description: Solar flares are events of intense scientific interest. Although certain solar conditions are known to be associated with flare activity, the exact location and timing of an individual flare on the Sun cannot as yet be predicted with certainty. Missions whose science objectives depend on observing solar flares must often make difficult decisions on where to target their observations if they do not observe the full solar disk. Yet, little analysis exists in the literature which might guide these missions' operations to maximize their opportunities to observe flares. In this study we analyze and simulate the performance of different observation strategies using historical flare and active region data from 2011 to 2014. We test a number of different target selection strategies based on active region complexity and recent flare activity, each of which is examined under a range of operational assumptions. In each case we investigate various metrics such as the number of flares observed, the size of flares observed, and operational considerations such as the number of instrument re-points that are required. Overall, target selection methods based on recent flare activity showed the best overall performance, but required more repointings than other methods. The mission responsiveness to new information is identified as a strong factor determining flare observation performance. It is also shown that target selection methods based on active region complexities show a significant pointing bias towards the western solar hemisphere. The number of flares observed grows quickly with field-of-view size until the approximate size of an active region is reached, but further improvements beyond the active region size are much more incremental. These results provide valuable performance estimates for a future mission focused on solar flares, and inform the requirements that would ensure mission success.

description: The influence of randomly distributed point impurities \emph{and} planar defects on the order and transport in type-II superconductors and related systems is considered theoretically. For planar defects of identical orientation the flux line lattice exhibits a new glassy phase dominated by the planar defects with a finite compressibility, a transverse Meissner effect, large sample to sample fuctuations of the susceptibility and an exponential decay of translational long range order. The flux creep resistivity for currents $J$ parallel to the defects is $ρ(J)\sim \exp-(J_0/J)^{3/2}$ . Strong disorder enforces an array of dislocations to relax shear strain.
Impact of accessing real-time glucose concentrations via a continuous glucose monitoring device on dietary quality among pregnant persons with gestational diabetes mellitus

description: A secondary analysis of data, derived from a single-center, open-label, randomized-controlled trial comparing the management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) vs conventional self-capillary blood glucose monitoring (SCBG), was conducted to explore differences in dietary quality. Dietary quality was assessed with a single Automated Self-Administered 24-hour Recall and mean nutrient values were calculated into Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2020) scores. Among a subgroup of participants with complete glucose and dietary intake data (n=66), secondary analysis aims were to determine 1) if having access to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data influenced maternal dietary quality among pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) randomized to CGM (Dexcom© G6) or SCBG (Contour® Next Blood), 2) if glucose time-in-range (GTIR;63-140mg/dL) was different for those who achieved HEI ≥ 64, and 3) if dietary changes made to address GDM persisted into the postpartum period. Though no statistically significant differences in dietary quality and glucose homeostasis were observed between participants with and without access to CGM data, participants during pregnancy had higher HEI sub-scores for seafood and plant proteins, and refined grains compared to the postpartum period. These data will be useful to plan appropriately powered studies to optimize maternal, fetal, and infant health outcomes in pregnancies affected by GDM.

description: Accurate land use maps, describing the territory from an anthropic utilisation point of view, are useful tools for land management and planning. To produce them, the use of optical images alone remains limited. It is therefore necessary to make use of several heterogeneous sources, each carrying complementary or contradictory information due to their imperfections or their different specifications. This study compares two different approaches i.e. a pre-classification and a post-classification fusion approach for combining several sources of spatial data in the context of land use classification. The approaches are applied on authoritative land use data located in the Gers department in the southwest of France. Pre-classification fusion, while not explicitly modeling imperfections, has the best final results, reaching an overall accuracy of 97% and a macro-mean F1 score of 88%.
