description: Only limited studies and superficial evaluations are available on agents' behaviors and roles within a Multi-Agent System (MAS). We simulate a MAS using Reinforcement Learning (RL) in a pursuit-evasion (a.k.a predator-prey pursuit) game, which shares task goals with target acquisition, and we create different adversarial scenarios by replacing RL-trained pursuers' policies with two distinct (non-RL) analytical strategies. Using heatmaps of agents' positions (state-space variable) over time, we are able to categorize an RL-trained evader's behaviors. The novelty of our approach entails the creation of an influential feature set that reveals underlying data regularities, which allow us to classify an agent's behavior. This classification may aid in catching the (enemy) targets by enabling us to identify and predict their behaviors, and when extended to pursuers, this approach towards identifying teammates' behavior may allow agents to coordinate more effectively.

description: Статья посвящена изучению интенсивности применения странами-партнерами по БРИКС инструментов нетарифного регулирования в отношении российского импорта, а также их влияния на динамику торговых потоков. Наиболее часто применяются меры торговой защиты, санитарные и фитосанитарные и технические барьеры в торговле. Наиболее интенсивно инструменты нетарифного регулирования для ограничения конкуренции со стороны импортной продукции применяет Бразилия, вторую позицию занимает Индия. Тем не менее, проведенный анализ показал, что наибольшее негативное влияние на динамику российского экспорта оказывают ограничения Китая, в результате чего значительные потери несут российские производители металлургической и химической продукции, а также сельхозпроизводители.The article analyses the intensity of non-tariff regulation instruments applied by the BRICS partner countries in relation to Russian imports, as well as their influence on the dynamics of bilateral trade flows. Trade protection measures, sanitary and phytosanitary measures and technical barriers to trade are most often used. Brazil uses non-tariff regulations to restrict competition from imported products most intensively, India takes the second position. Nevertheless, the conducted analysis showed that the greatest negative impact on the dynamics of Russian exports has been made by China's restrictions, as a result Russian producers of metallurgical and chemical products, as well as by agricultural producers are among those who suffered to a larger extent.

description: Recent work has connected adversarial attack methods and algorithmic recourse methods: both seek minimal changes to an input instance which alter a model's classification decision. It has been shown that traditional adversarial training, which seeks to minimize a classifier's susceptibility to malicious perturbations, increases the cost of generated recourse; with larger adversarial training radii correlating with higher recourse costs. From the perspective of algorithmic recourse, however, the appropriate adversarial training radius has always been unknown. Another recent line of work has motivated adversarial training with adaptive training radii to address the issue of instance-wise variable adversarial vulnerability, showing success in domains with unknown attack radii. This work studies the effects of adaptive adversarial training on algorithmic recourse costs. We establish that the improvements in model robustness induced by adaptive adversarial training show little effect on algorithmic recourse costs, providing a potential avenue for affordable robustness in domains where recoursability is critical.

Common English name: Grey Fruit Bat Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes recorded as A. alecto are associated with the BIN, BOLD:AAB6984, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia. Remarks: Jayaraj et al. [38] commented that “unpublished genetic data suggests the Javan and Borneon forms are distinct”. We could not evaluate the relationship between these two forms and the bats in Peninsular Malaysia due the lack of DNA barcodes from the Peninsular Malaysia and Java. IUCN status: Least Concern Recorded at: Perak: Maxwell Hill [23]; Pahang: Gunong Benom and Cameron Highlands [23]. A. alecto is not common and confined to hill and montane forests, normally above 1000 m [14, 23].

description: В статье рассматриваются вопросы формирования системы институтов, способных обеспечить достижение основных приоритетов пространственного развития Российской Федерации в части содействия модернизации регионального звена российской экономики, поддержания единства экономического пространства страны на инновационной основе. Важной частью этой системы выступают «региональные институты развития», которые позволяют согласовать общегосударственные приоритеты модернизации экономики с особенностями хозяйственного и социального развития отдельных субъектов Российской Федерации. Это делает региональные институты развития одним из связующих звеньев между федеральным уровнем социально-экономического стратегирования и стратегическими планами субъектов Российской Федерации. Однако реализация позитивных возможностей региональных институтов развития требует уточнения их функциональной специализации, более совершенной нормативно-правовой базы и эффективных механизмов взаимодействия с федеральными институтами развития, государственными программами отраслевого и территориального уровней.The article dicusses the questions of formation the system of institutions, which will be able to achieve the main priorities of spatial development of the Russian Federation in terms of promoting the upgrading of the regional link of the Russian economy and the maintenance of the unity of economic space of the country on the innovations’ basis. An important part of this system are the so-called regional development institutions, which make possible to align allnational priorities of economic modernization with the peculiarities of the economic and social development of concrete regions. The latter makes regional development institutions as one of the connecting links between the federal level of socio-economic strategies and strategic plans of the subjects of the Federation. However, the implementation of the affirmative capacities of regional development institutions requires clarification of their functional specialization, improved legal regulatory framework and the proper mechanisms of cooperation with the federal institutions of development and with the state programs of sectoral and territorial development.
How Rocky Are They? The Composition Distribution of Kepler's Sub-Neptune Planet Candidates within 0.15 AU

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The Kepler Mission has found thousands of planetary candidates with radii between 1 and 4 R$_\oplus$. These planets have no analogues in our own Solar System, providing an unprecedented opportunity to understand the range and distribution of planetary compositions allowed by planet formation and evolution. A precise mass measurement is usually required to constrain the possible composition of an individual super-Earth-sized planet, but these measurements are difficult and expensive to make for the majority of Kepler planet candidates. Fortunately, adopting a statistical approach helps us to address this question without them. In particular, we apply hierarchical Bayesian modeling to a subsample of Kepler planet candidates that is complete for $P< 25$ days and $R_{pl}>1.2$ R$_\oplus$ and draw upon interior structure models which yield radii largely independent of mass by accounting for the thermal evolution of a gaseous envelope around a rocky core. Assuming the envelope is dominated by hydrogen and helium, we present the current-day composition distribution of the sub-Neptune-sized planet population and find that H+He envelopes are most likely to be $\sim 1\%$ of these planets' total mass with an intrinsic scatter of $\pm 0.5$ dex. We address the gaseous/rocky transition and illustrate how our results do not result in a one-to-one relationship between mass and radius for this sub-Neptune population; accordingly, dynamical studies which wish to use Kepler data must adopt a probabilistic approach to accurately represent the range of possible masses at a given radius.

description: An algorithm and numerical code for the up-sampling of a system of particles, from a smaller to a larger number, is described. The method introduces a Poissonian `shot-noise' to the up-sampled distribution, typical of the noise statistics arising in a bunch of particles generated by a particle accelerator. The algorithm is applied to a 6-Dimensional phase-space distribution of relatively few simulation particles, representing an electron beam generated by particle accelerator modelling software, for subsequent injection into an Free Electron Laser (FEL) amplifier which is used here to describe the model. A much larger number of particles is usually required to model the FEL lasing process than is required to model the electron beam accelerators that drive it. FEL modelling software usually requires a much greater number of simulation particles than is required for modelling the acceleration stages and an increase in simulation particles is required while introducing the correct Poisson statistical properties of a real electron distribution. A numerical code developed from the algorithm was then used to generate electron bunches for injection into to an unaveraged 3D FEL simulation code, Puffin. Results show good qualitative and quantitative agreement with analytical theory. The program and user manual is available for download.

description: In the last decade, the Winograd Schema Challenge (WSC) has become a central aspect of the research community as a novel litmus test. Consequently, the WSC has spurred research interest because it can be seen as the means to understand human behavior. In this regard, the development of new techniques has made possible the usage of Winograd schemas in various fields, such as the design of novel forms of CAPTCHAs. Work from the literature that established a baseline for human adult performance on the WSC has shown that not all schemas are the same, meaning that they could potentially be categorized according to their perceived hardness for humans. In this regard, this \textit{hardness-metric} could be used in future challenges or in the WSC CAPTCHA service to differentiate between Winograd schemas. Recent work of ours has shown that this could be achieved via the design of an automated system that is able to output the hardness-indexes of Winograd schemas, albeit with limitations regarding the number of schemas it could be applied on. This paper adds to previous research by presenting a new system that is based on Machine Learning (ML), able to output the hardness of any Winograd schema faster and more accurately than any other previously used method. Our developed system, which works within two different approaches, namely the random forest and deep learning (LSTM-based), is ready to be used as an extension of any other system that aims to differentiate between Winograd schemas, according to their perceived hardness for humans. At the same time, along with our developed system we extend previous work by presenting the results of a large-scale experiment that shows how human performance varies across Winograd schemas.

description: This study presents the results of atomistic structural characterisation of 3.7 nm diameter gold nanoparticles (NP) coated with polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based ligands of different lengths (containing $2-14$ monomers) and solvated in water. The system size and composition are selected in connection to several experimental studies of radiosensitisation mechanisms of gold NPs. The coating structure and water distribution near the NP surface are characterised on the atomistic level by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The results of simulations carried out in this study, combined with the results of our recent study [J. Phys. Chem. A 126 (2022) 2170] and those from the field of polymer physics, are used to calculate key structural parameters of the coatings of radiosensitising gold NPs. On this basis, connections between the coating structure and distribution of water are established for different NP sizes as well as lengths and surface densities of coating molecules. The quantitative analysis of water distribution in the vicinity of coated metal NPs can be used to evaluate the radiosensitising effectiveness of a particular NP system based on the proximity of water to the NP metal core, which should impact the production of hydroxyl radicals and reactive oxygen species in the vicinity of metal NPs exposed to ionising radiation.

The spectral energy distribution of compact jets powered by internal shocks
Creators: name: Malzac, Julien
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Internal shocks caused by fluctuations of the outflow velocity are likely to power the radio to IR emission of the compact jets of X-ray binaries. The dynamics of internal shocks and the resulting spectral energy distribution (SED) of the jet are very sensitive to the time-scales and amplitudes of the velocity fluctuations injected at the base of the jet. I present a new code designed to simulate the synchrotron emission of a compact jet powered by internal shocks. I also develop a semi-analytical formalism allowing one to estimate the observed SED of the jet as a function of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of the assumed fluctuations of the Lorentz factor. I discuss the cases of a sine modulation of the Lorentz factor and Lorentz factor fluctuations with a power-law PSD shape. Independently of the details of the model, the observed nearly flat SEDs are obtained for PSDs of Lorentz factor fluctuations that are close to a flicker noise spectrum (i.e. P(f)~1/f). The model also presents a strong wavelength dependent variability that is similar to that observed in these sources.

description: The ability to sensitively image electric fields is important for understanding many nanoelectronic phenomena, including charge accumulation at surfaces and interfaces and field distributions in active electronic devices. A particularly exciting application is the visualization of domain patterns in ferroelectric and nanoferroic materials owing to their potential in computing and data storage. Here, we use a scanning nitrogen-vacancy (NV) microscope, well known for its use in magnetometry, to image domain patterns in piezoelectric (Pb[Zr$_{x}$Ti$_{1-x}$]O$_{3}$) and improper ferroelectric (YMnO$_{3}$) materials through their electric fields. Electric field detection is enabled by measuring the Stark shift of the NV spin using a gradiometric detection scheme. Analysis of the electric field maps allows us to discriminate between different types of surface charge distributions, as well as to reconstruct maps of the three-dimensional electric field vector and charge density. The ability to measure both stray electric and magnetic fields under ambient conditions opens exciting opportunities for the study of multiferroic and multifunctional materials and devices.

description: The magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBLG) has been demonstrated to exhibit exotic physical properties due to the special flat bands. However, exploiting the engineering of such properties by external fields is still in it infancy. Here we show that MATBLG under an external magnetic field presents a distinctive magnetoplasmon dispersion, which can be significantly modified by transferred momentum and charge doping. Along a wide range of transferred momentum, there exist special pronounced single magnetoplasmon and horizontal single-particle excitation modes near charge neutrality. We provide an insightful discussion of such unique features based on the electronic excitation of Landau levels quantized from the flat bands and Landau damping. Additionally, charge doping leads to peculiar multiple strong-weight magnetoplasmons. These characteristics make MATBLG a favorable candidate for plasmonic devices and technology applications.

A unified operator splitting approach for multi-scale fluid-particle coupling in the lattice Boltzmann method

description: A unified framework to derive discrete time-marching schemes for coupling of immersed solid and elastic objects to the lattice Boltzmann method is presented. Based on operator splitting for the discrete Boltzmann equation, second-order time-accurate schemes for the immersed boundary method, viscous force coupling and external boundary force are derived. Furthermore, a modified formulation of the external boundary force is introduced that leads to a more accurate no-slip boundary condition. The derivation also reveals that the coupling methods can be cast into a unified form, and that the immersed boundary method can be interpreted as the limit of force coupling for vanishing particle mass. In practice, the ratio between fluid and particle mass determines the strength of the force transfer in the coupling. The integration schemes formally improve the accuracy of first-order algorithms that are commonly employed when coupling immersed objects to a lattice Boltzmann fluid. It is anticipated that they will also lead to superior long-time stability in simulations of complex fluids with multiple scales.

description: Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) is likely the earliest and most flexible clustering method, because it can be used with many distances, similarities, and various linkage strategies. It is often used when the number of clusters the data set forms is unknown and some sort of hierarchy in the data is plausible. Most algorithms for HAC operate on a full distance matrix, and therefore require quadratic memory. The standard algorithm also has cubic runtime to produce a full hierarchy. Both memory and runtime are especially problematic in the context of embedded or otherwise very resource-constrained systems. In this section, we present how data aggregation with BETULA, a numerically stable version of the well known BIRCH data aggregation algorithm, can be used to make HAC viable on systems with constrained resources with only small losses on clustering quality, and hence allow exploratory data analysis of very large data sets.

description: We present a first principles method for calculating the inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) on gated graphene. We reproduce experiments on pristine graphene and point out the importance of including several phonon modes to correctly estimate the local doping from IETS. We demonstrate how the IETS of typical imperfections in graphene can yield characteristic fingerprints revealing e.g. adsorbate species or local buckling. Our results show how care is needed when interpreting STM images of defects due to suppression of the elastic tunneling on graphene.

description: Given the current threat posed by toxic digital content, preparing students to evaluate online sources cannot be relegated to a single subject area. This instruction must happen across the curriculum. This article focuses on curriculum materials designed to teach students to evaluate online information across subject areas following a set of design principles: (1) Focus on a core question and strategy; (2) engage students in evaluating real online content; (3) feature cognitive apprenticeship and formative assessment; (4) support teacher learning. Ninth grade biology and world geography teachers taught a series of curriculum-embedded lessons based on these design principles. We examined whether these lessons helped students become more skilled evaluators of online content. Pretest/posttest data (n =574) showed statistically significant growth in students’ ability to evaluate the credibility of online content. We analyze the role played by the curriculum design principles in this interdisciplinary intervention and explore implications for future initiatives.

description: The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a new optical/near-infrared multi-fiber spectrograph design for the prime focus of the 8.2m Subaru telescope. PFS will cover 1.3 degree diameter field with 2394 fibers to complement the imaging capability of Hyper SuprimeCam (HSC). The prime focus unit of PFS called Prime Focus Instrument (PFI) provides the interface with the top structure of Subaru telescope and also accommodates the optical bench in which Cobra fiber positioners are located. In addition, the acquisition and guiding (A&G) cameras, the optical fiber positioner system, the cable wrapper, the fiducial fibers, illuminator, and viewer, the field element, and the telemetry system are located inside the PFI. The mechanical structure of the PFI was designed with special care such that its deflections sufficiently match those of the HSC Wide Field Corrector (WFC) so the fibers will stay on targets over the course of the observations within the required accuracy.

Sparse Partitioning Around Medoids

description: Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM, k-Medoids) is a popular clustering technique to use with arbitrary distance functions or similarities, where each cluster is represented by its most central object, called the medoid or the discrete median. In operations research, this family of problems is also known as facility location problem (FLP). FastPAM recently introduced a speedup for large k to make it applicable for larger problems, but the method still has a runtime quadratic in N. In this chapter, we discuss a sparse and asymmetric variant of this problem, to be used for example on graph data such as road networks. By exploiting sparsity, we can avoid the quadratic runtime and memory requirements, and make this method scalable to even larger problems, as long as we are able to build a small enough graph of sufficient connectivity to perform local optimization. Furthermore, we consider asymmetric cases, where the set of medoids is not identical to the set of points to be covered (or in the interpretation of facility location, where the possible facility locations are not identical to the consumer locations). Because of sparsity, it may be impossible to cover all points with just k medoids for too small k, which would render the problem unsolvable, and this breaks common heuristics for finding a good starting condition. We, hence, consider determining k as a part of the optimization problem and propose to first construct a greedy initial solution with a larger k, then to optimize the problem by alternating between PAM-style "swap" operations where the result is improved by replacing medoids with better alternatives and "remove" operations to reduce the number of k until neither allows further improving the result quality. We demonstrate the usefulness of this method on a problem from electrical engineering, with the input graph derived from cartographic data.

description: Schema Matching, i.e. the process of discovering semantic correspondences between concepts adopted in different data source schemas, has been a key topic in Database and Artificial Intelligence research areas for many years. In the past, it was largely investigated especially for classical database models (e.g., E/R schemas, relational databases, etc.). However, in the latest years, the widespread adoption of XML in the most disparate application fields pushed a growing number of researchers to design XML-specific Schema Matching approaches, called XML Matchers, aiming at finding semantic matchings between concepts defined in DTDs and XSDs. XML Matchers do not just take well-known techniques originally designed for other data models and apply them on DTDs/XSDs, but they exploit specific XML features (e.g., the hierarchical structure of a DTD/XSD) to improve the performance of the Schema Matching process. The design of XML Matchers is currently a well-established research area. The main goal of this paper is to provide a detailed description and classification of XML Matchers. We first describe to what extent the specificities of DTDs/XSDs impact on the Schema Matching task. Then we introduce a template, called XML Matcher Template, that describes the main components of an XML Matcher, their role and behavior. We illustrate how each of these components has been implemented in some popular XML Matchers. We consider our XML Matcher Template as the baseline for objectively comparing approaches that, at first glance, might appear as unrelated. The introduction of this template can be useful in the design of future XML Matchers. Finally, we analyze commercial tools implementing XML Matchers and introduce two challenging issues strictly related to this topic, namely XML source clustering and uncertainty management in XML Matchers.

description: William Shakespeare’s Richard ii presents philosophical and political themes related to the history of England and a symbolical interpretation of the Wars of the Roses, on the one hand; and to the person of Queen Elizabeth i, on the other hand: as it is known, Queen Elizabeth identified explicitly herself with Shakespeare’s Richard of Bordeaux. As a matter of fact, the famous scene of Richard’s “unkinging” was censored during Elizabeth’s age. Moreover, the text shows a deep philosophical meaning related to the role of the king, conceived as a hieratic and holy guide. The paper analyses the text and explores the historical and modern staging of the play, from the representation committed by the Earl of Essex to the company of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, to acclaimed contemporary performances such as John Gielgud’s (1929) and Fiona Shaw’s (1997).

description: We present a brief overview of recently proposed detection schemes for axion, axion-like pseudoscalar particle and topological defect dark matter. We focus mainly on the possibility of using atomic and molecular systems for dark matter detection. For axions and axion-like particles, these methods are complementary probes to ongoing photon-axion interconversion experiments and astrophysical observations. For topological defects, these methods are complementary to conventional astrophysical search schemes based on gravitational signatures.

description: Interacting networks are different in nature to single networks. The study of queuing processes on interacting networks is underdeveloped. It presents new mathematical challenges and is of importance to applications. This area of operations research deserves careful study: queuing theory needs to incorporate high-order network interactions in the performance analysis of a queuing system.
