description: In the case of single-digit picosecond bunch length, synchrotron light sources produce intense coherent radiation up to the THz range. The reduction of the bunch length by lowering the momentum compaction factor (low-$α$) gives rise to the micro-bunching instability, which is on one hand a crucial roadblock in the X-ray range during to the resulting effective bunch lengthening but on the other hand also an opportunity for the generation of intense THz radiation if it can be controlled appropriately. In the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator), two parallel plates with periodic rectangular corrugations are planned to be installed in an electron storage ring. These plates create an additional longitudinal impedance based on their geometry, which can affect the beam dynamics. The resulting impedance manipulation will be used to study and control the longitudinal electron beam dynamics and the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). This paper presents the results of systematic studies in simulation of the impact of additional corrugated plate impedances on the longitudinal beam dynamics using the example of the KARA storage ring. If the periodicity of the wake function of the corrugated plates matches the size of the substructures in the longitudinal bunch profile, the instability threshold can be effectively manipulated. This extends intense THz radiation to different beam current regimes.

description: Nature is a blossoming of regular structures, signature of self-organization of the underlying microscopic interacting agents. Turing theory of pattern formation is one of the most studied mechanisms to address such phenomena and has been applied to a widespread gallery of disciplines. Turing himself used a spatial discretization of the hosting support to eventually deal with a set of ODEs. Such an idea contained the seeds of the theory on discrete support, which has been fully acknowledged with the birth of network science in the early 2000s. This approach allows us to tackle several settings not displaying a trivial continuous embedding, such as multiplex, temporal networks, and, recently, higher-order structures. This line of research has been mostly confined within the network science community, despite its inherent potential to transcend the conventional boundaries of the PDE-based approach to Turing patterns. Moreover, network topology allows for novel dynamics to be generated via a universal formalism that can be readily extended to account for higher-order structures. The interplay between continuous and discrete settings can pave the way for further developments in the field.

description: Recently, Bonanno et al. (2024) presented an explicit metric describing the exterior of a collapsing dust ball within the framework of asymptotically safe gravity. Based on this metric, we investigate in detail the properties of the quasinormal mode (QNM) spectra for test massless scalar, vector, and Dirac fields. We find accurate values for the fundamental QNM frequency and the first overtones, demonstrating the appearance of a peculiar spiral-like behavior of the overtones compared to the fundamental modes. Additionally, we study black hole shadows and show that they align with EHT observations. Finally, we study the grey-body factors and provide explicit lower bound estimates.

description: We present two methods for computing the dynamic structure factor for warm dense hydrogen without invoking either the Born-Oppenheimer approximation or the Chihara decomposition, by employing a wave-packet description that resolves the electron dynamics during ion evolution. First, a semiclassical method is discussed, which is corrected based on known quantum constraints, and second, a direct computation of the density response function within the molecular dynamics. The wave packet models are compared to PIMC and DFT-MD for the static and low-frequency behaviour. For the high-frequency behaviour the models recover the expected behaviour in the limits of small and large momentum transfers and show the characteristic flattening of the plasmon dispersion for intermediate momentum transfers due to interactions, in agreement with commonly used models for x-ray Thomson scattering. By modelling the electrons and ions on an equal footing, both the ion and free electron part of the spectrum can now be treated within a single framework where we simultaneously resolve the ion-acoustic and plasmon mode, with a self-consistent description of collisions and screening.

description: Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS) using only image-level labels has gained significant attention due to its cost-effectiveness. The typical framework involves using image-level labels as training data to generate pixel-level pseudo-labels with refinements. Recently, methods based on Vision Transformers (ViT) have demonstrated superior capabilities in generating reliable pseudo-labels, particularly in recognizing complete object regions, compared to CNN methods. However, current ViT-based approaches have some limitations in the use of patch embeddings, being prone to being dominated by certain abnormal patches, as well as many multi-stage methods being time-consuming and lengthy in training, thus lacking efficiency. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a novel ViT-based WSSS method named \textit{Adaptive Patch Contrast} (APC) that significantly enhances patch embedding learning for improved segmentation effectiveness. APC utilizes an Adaptive-K Pooling (AKP) layer to address the limitations of previous max pooling selection methods. Additionally, we propose a Patch Contrastive Learning (PCL) to enhance patch embeddings, thereby further improving the final results. Furthermore, we improve upon the existing multi-stage training framework without CAM by transforming it into an end-to-end single-stage training approach, thereby enhancing training efficiency. The experimental results show that our approach is effective and efficient, outperforming other state-of-the-art WSSS methods on the PASCAL VOC 2012 and MS COCO 2014 dataset within a shorter training duration.

description: Infinite Games for Infinite Teams was published by and in response to the DARPAPolyplexus Citizen Incubator: “Inventing a Remote Culture to Deal with Pandemics”,and was done so with the intent of discussing the questions outlined below.

How are global online narratives constructed and received in 2020? Why are the processes of narrative design and culture production so important for security and governance? What is possible now or soon that was not possible before?

What approaches could catalyze assessment, design, and deployment of online narratives in real-time? Why is it so important to have meme-detection systems that are culturally-aware, interlingual, intermodal, and human-in-the-loop?

What does it look like to take a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) approach to the neuromemetics of narrative co-construction and agenda-setting? How could a CAS approach be used to support specifically-defined cultural/institutional/national/global interests? How do we find, formalize, and quantify goals or outcomes within a CAS framework?

How can we diagnose, perturb, and create narratives through gameplay? What might a “design science for memes” look like?

How is this present work continuous with and contrasting with previous work in innovation, generative games, and LARPing? How can music, sound, art, and other techniques amplify narrative impact ?

description: Despite being successfully synthesized [Zhang $et$ $al.$, Nat. Mater. \textbf{20}, 1073 (2021)], the monolayer structure of stable hexagonal TiO$_2$ is unknown, and it is not even clear whether it can exist in a freestanding form. Through first-principles calculations, we have identified two previously uncharted stable structures, namely, distorted 1$\times$$\sqrt{3}$ 1T-TiO$_2$ and $\sqrt{3}$$\times$$\sqrt{3}$ 1T-TiO$_2$, both of which are energetically more favourable than commonly adopted 1H and 1T phases. Here structural distortions are characterized by the out-of-plane shifts of Ti atoms due to the pseudo-Jahn-Teller interactions, which break one and all two inversion symmetries of 1T configuration. As a consequence, the 1$\times$$\sqrt{3}$ 1T remains centrosymmetric while the $\sqrt{3}$$\times$$\sqrt{3}$ 1T exhibits out-of-plane ferroelectricity. Electronic structure calculations show that both two are wide-bandgap semiconductors with bandgaps larger than their bulk counterparts. Our study not only deepens the understanding of structural instability in wide-gap semiconductors but also adds a new member to the rare family of two-dimensional out-of-plane ferroelectrics.

description: Digitalization, openness, real-time data availability, and collaboration are some of the technology trends that are considered to define Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution. The Internet of Things (IoT) and enhanced cyber-physical systems unite the digital and physical realms in this new industrial paradigm. The global economy and markets are poised to be impacted by this industry transformation, which is predicted to enhance manufacturing processes and boost productivity. The study aims to provide an overview of the components of Industry 4.0, which was conceived in 2011, and to describe these concepts in detail with their historical development, emphasizing the characteristics, fundamental characteristics and implications of the concepts of the digital supply chain and logistics 4.0 that emerged as a result of the impact of industry 4.0. The phrase "Industry 4.0" encompasses a wide range of innovative technologies, including but not limited to: cyber-physical systems, robots, the internet of things, cloud computing, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, data security, big data, and the internet of services. Following three previous industrial revolutions that brought about enormous efficiency gains and societal and economic shifts, the idea of Industry 4.0 represents the world's fourth industrial revolution. Under Industry 4.0, everything in the production chain, including suppliers, carriers and products, is digitally connected.

description: The majority of Ethical Hacking (EH) tools utilised in penetration testing are developed by practitioners within the industry or underground communities. Similarly, academic researchers have also contributed to developing security tools. However, there appears to be limited awareness among practitioners of academic contributions in this domain, creating a significant gap between industry and academia's contributions to EH tools. This research paper aims to survey the current state of EH academic research, primarily focusing on research-informed security tools. We categorise these tools into process-based frameworks (such as PTES and Mitre ATT\&CK) and knowledge-based frameworks (such as CyBOK and ACM CCS). This classification provides a comprehensive overview of novel, research-informed tools, considering their functionality and application areas. The analysis covers licensing, release dates, source code availability, development activity, and peer review status, providing valuable insights into the current state of research in this field.

description: While the success of edge and fog computing increased with the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, such novel computing paradigm, that moves compute resources closer to the source of data and services, must address many challenges such as reducing communication overhead to/from datacenters, the latency to compute and receive results, as well as energy consumption at the mobile and IoT devices. fog-to-fog (f2f) cooperation has recently been proposed to increase the computation capacity at the network edge through cooperation across multiple stakeholders. In this paper we adopt an analytical approach to studying f2f cooperation paradigm. We highlight the benefits of using such new paradigm in comparison with traditional three-tier fog computing paradigms. We use a Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC) model for the N f2f cooperating nodes and cast cooperation as an optimization problem, which we solve using the proposed model.

ABSTRACT


The intensity and occurrence of heat waves are predicted to increase due to climate change. In the United States, intense heat is categorized as the leading cause of mortality rates among other extreme natural events. Continuous exposure to extremely high temperatures causes increased morbidity and mortality rates. Outdoor workers, unhoused populations, the elderly, and minority groups are more susceptible to heat-related impacts due to less adaptive capacity and lack of resilience to cope and recover from heat risks. This study aimed to examine the spatiotemporal trends of intense heat, assess the impacts of disparate land cover types on heat trends, and determine the spatial distribution of minority groups in extreme heat-prone areas. This research established a direct relationship between the spatial variability of social vulnerability and heat vulnerability. The study also revealed that areas with asphalt material and minimal vegetation, such as bare ground surfaces, exhibited higher average surface temperatures.

description: The characterization of information within a multiparty system is both significant and complex. This paper presents the concept of generalized conditional mutual information, along with a family of multiparty quantum mutual information measures. We provide interpretations and delineate the properties of these concepts, while also pointing out certain unresolved issues. The generalized conditional mutual information serves to encapsulate the interdependencies and correlations among various components of a multiparty quantum system. Additionally, various formulations of multiparty quantum mutual information contribute to a deeper comprehension of classical, quantum, and total correlations. These insights have the potential to propel fundamental research in the field of quantum information theory.

description: Images cannot always be expected to come in a certain standard format and orientation. Deep networks need to be trained to take into account unexpected variations in orientation or format. For this purpose, training data should be enriched to include different conditions. In this study, the effects of data enrichment on the performance of deep networks in the super resolution problem were investigated experimentally. A total of six basic image transformations were used for the enrichment procedures. In the experiments, two deep network models were trained with variants of the ILSVRC2012 dataset enriched by these six image transformation processes. Considering a single image transformation, it has been observed that the data enriched with 180 degree rotation provides the best results. The most unsuccessful result was obtained when the models were trained on the enriched data generated by the flip upside down process. Models scored highest when trained with a mix of all transformations.

description: In this paper, we review in detail different mechanisms of generation of large primordial fluctuations and their implications for the production of primordial black holes (PBHs) and scalar-induced secondary gravity waves (SIGW), with the ultimate aim of understanding the impact of loop correction on quantum correlations and the power spectrum. To accomplish the goal, we provide a concise, comprehensive, but in depth review of conceptual and technical details of the standard model of the universe, namely, causal structure and inflation, quantization of primordial perturbations and field theoretic techniques such as "in-in" formalism needed for the estimation of loop correction to the power spectrum. We discuss at length the severe constraints (no-go) on PBH production in single-field inflation imposed by appropriately renormalized quantum loop corrections, computed while maintaining the validity of the perturbation framework and assuming sufficient inflation to address the causality problem. Thereafter, we discuss in detail the efforts to circumvent the no-go result in Galileon inflation, multiple sharp transition (MST)-induced inflation, and stochastic single field inflation using an effective field theoretic (EFT) framework applicable to a variety of models. We provide a thorough analysis of the Dynamical Renormalization Group (DRG) resummation approach, adiabatic and late-time renormalization schemes, and their use in producing solar and sub-solar mass PBHs. Additionally, we give a summary of how scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) are produced in MST setups and Galileon inflation.Finally, the PBH overproduction issue is thoroughly discussed.

description: We report the discovery of robust spectroscopically confirmed Balmer break (BB) galaxies and candidates, with secure spectroscopic redshifts $7.1 \le z \le 9.6$ from publicly available JWST extra-galactic photometric and spectroscopic surveys. To do so, we used dedicated filters probing the Balmer break and inspected the objects with NIRSpec spectroscopy. We recover the previously known objects with strong Balmer breaks and reveal 10-11 new objects with clear BBs, thus tripling the number of spectroscopically confirmed galaxies with a BB at z >7. Approximately half of them show a pure BB and no signs of recent star formation, whereas the other half shows BB and emission lines, indicating most likely galaxies whose star formation ceased earlier and has restarted recently. Overall we find that ~10-20% of all galaxies from our sample show signatures of an evolved stellar population. Furthermore, we find that the strength of the BB does not significantly depend on the rest-UV and rest-optical brightness of these sources. In short, our work confirms that photometry alone has the potential to measure BB strengths and to identify evolved stellar populations at high redshift and that such objects may be more frequent than previously thought. The presence of galaxies with a range of break strengths and the joint presence of BB and emission lines indicate a bursty nature of the star formation in the early Universe.

description: We argue that the North Polar Spur (NPS) and many less prominent structures are formed by gaseous metal-rich plumes associated with star-forming regions (SFRs). The SFRs located at the tangent to the 3-5~kpc rings might be particularly relevant to NPS. A multi-temperature mixture of gaseous components and cosmic rays rises above the Galactic disk under the action of their initial momentum and buoyancy. Eventually, the plume velocity becomes equal to that of the ambient gas, which rotates with different angular speed than the stars in the disk. As a result, the plumes acquire characteristic bent shapes. An ad hoc model of plumes' trajectories shows an interesting resemblance to the morphology of structures seen in the radio continuum and X-rays.

description: We present a rapid stellar core-collapse waveform emulator built using a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN). The DCGAN was trained on the Richers \textit{et al.~}\cite{richers:2017} waveform catalogue to learn the structure of rotating stellar core-collapse gravitational-wave signals and generate realistic waveforms. We show that the DCGAN learns the distribution of the training data reasonably well, and that the waveform emulator produces signals that appear to have the key features of core-collapse, bounce, early post-bounce, and ringdown oscillations of the early proto-neutron star. The pre-trained DCGAN can therefore be used as a phenomenological model for rotating stellar core-collapse gravitational-waves.

Analytic approach to quantum metric and optical conductivity in Dirac models with parabolic mass in arbitrary dimensions

description: The imaginary part of the quantum geometric tensor is the Berry curvature, while the real part is the quantum metric. Dirac fermions derived from a tight-binding model naturally contains a mass term $m(k)$ with parabolic dispersion, $m(k)=$ $m+uk^{2}$. However, in the Chern insulator based on Dirac fermions, only the sign of the mass $m$ is relevant. Recently, it was reported that the quantum metric is observable by means of the optical conductivity, which is significantly affected by the parabolic coefficient $% u $. We analytically obtain the quantum metric and the optical conductivity in the Dirac Hamiltonian in arbitrary dimensions, where the Dirac mass has parabolic dispersion. The optical conductivity at the band-edge frequency significantly depends on the dimensions. We also make an analytical study on the quantum metric and the optical conductivity in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, the Qi-Wu-Zhang model and the Haldane model. The optical conductivity is found to be quite different between the topological and trivial phases even when the gap is taken identical.

description: For pedestrians moving without spatial constraints, extensive research has been devoted to develop methods of density estimation. In this paper we present a new approach based on Voronoi cells, offering a means to estimate density for individuals in small, unbounded pedestrian groups. A thorough evaluation of existing methods, encompassing both Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches employed in similar contexts, reveals notable limitations. Specifically, these methods turn out to be ill-defined for realistic density estimation along a pedestrian's trajectory, exhibiting systematic biases and fluctuations that depend on the choice of parameters. There is thus a need for a parameter-independent method to eliminate this bias. We propose a modification of the widely used Voronoi-cell based density estimate to accommodate pedestrian groups, irrespective of their size. The advantages of this modified Voronoi method are that it is an instantaneous method that requires only knowledge of the pedestrians' positions at a give time, does not depend on the choice of parameter values, gives us a realistic estimate of density in an individual's neighborhood, and has appropriate physical meaning for both small and large human crowds in a wide variety of situations. We conclude with general remarks about the meaning of density measurements for small groups of pedestrians.

Bipolar nanochannels: The effects of an electro-osmotic instability. Part II: Time-transient response

description: The most common method to characterize the electrical response of a nanofluidic system is through its steady-state current-voltage response. In Part I, we demonstrated that this current-voltage response depends on the geometry, the layout of the surface charge, and the effects of advection. We demonstrated that each configuration has a unique steady-state signature. Here, we will elucidate the behavior of the time-transient response. Similar to the steady-state response, we will show that each configuration has its own unique time-transient signature when subjected to electroosmotic instability. We show that bipolar systems behave differently than unipolar systems. In unipolar systems, the instability appears only at one end of the system. In contrast, in bipolar systems the instability will either appear on both sides of the nanochannel or not at all. If it does appear on both sides, the instability will eventually vanish on one or both sides of the system. In Part I, these phenomena were explained using steady-state considerations of the behavior of the fluxes. Here, we will examine the time-transient behavior to reveal the governing principles that are, on the one hand, not so different from unipolar systems and, on the other hand, remarkably different.

description: We study the dynamics of the interacting models between the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) coupled scalar field and the dark matter fluid in a homogeneous and isotropic background. A key feature of GB coupling models is the varying speed of gravitational waves (GWs). We utilize recent constraints on the GW speed and conduct our analysis in two primary scenarios: model-dependent and model-independent. In the model-dependent scenario, where determining the GW speed requires a specific GB coupling functional form, we choose an exponential GB coupling. We adopt a dynamical system analysis to obtain the necessary constraints on the model parameters that describe different phases of the universe and produce a stable late-time accelerating solution following the GW constraint, and find that to satisfy all these constraints, fine-tuning of the free parameters involved in the models is often needed. In the model-independent scenario, the GW speed is fixed to one, and we construct the autonomous system to identify the late-time stable accelerating critical points. Furthermore, we adopt a Bayesian inference method using late-time observational data sets, including 31 data points from cosmic chronometer data (Hubble data) and 1701 data points from Pantheon+ and find that all the observational constraints can be satisfied without fine-tuning. In addition, we also utilize simulated binned Roman and LSST data to study the evolution of the universe in the model-independent scenario. We find that the model shows significant deviation at higher redshifts from $Λ$CDM and fits the current data much better than $Λ$CDM within the error bars.
