description: The main objective of T4.1 was to “help researchers in their selection of an appropriate publishing venue and, generally, of a scholarly communication strategy”. Some guidance to achieve the goal was provided. The solution chosen was to build the working prototype of a tool that was called Operas Pathfinder. This allowed not only to respond to the different requests of the task, but to pave the way for the implementation of one of the upcoming dedicated services of Operas, which can be fully tested as of today.

Exactly solvable models of two-dimensional dilaton gravity and quantum eternal black holes

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: New approach to exact solvability of dilaton gravity theories is suggested which appeals directly to structure of field equations. It is shown that black holes regular at the horizon are static and their metric is found explicitly. If a metric possesses singularities the whole spacetime can be divided into different sheets with one horizon on each sheet between neighboring singularities with a finite value of dilaton field (addition horizons may arise at infinite value of it), neighboring sheets being glued along the singularity. The position of singularities coincide with the values of dilaton in solutions with a constant dilaton field. Quantum corrections to the Hawking temperature vanish. For a wide subset of these models the relationship between the total energy and the total entropy of the quantum finite size system is the same as in the classical limit. For another subset the metric itself does not acquire quantum corrections. The present paper generalizes Solodukhin's results on the RST model in that instead of a particular model we deal with whole classes of them. Apart from this, the found models exhibit some qualitatively new properties which are absent in the RST model. The most important one is that there exist quantum black holes with geometry regular everywhere including infinity.

description: After its introduction in 1982, the Hopfield model has been extensively applied for classification and pattern recognition. Recently, its great potential in gene expression patterns retrieval has also been shown. Following this line, we develop Hope4Genes a single-sample class prediction algorithm based on a Hopfield-like model. Differently from previous works, we here tested the performances of the algorithm for class prediction, a task of fundamental importance for precision medicine and therapeutic decision-making. Hope4Genes proved better performances than the state-of-art methodologies in the field independently of the size of the input dataset, its profiling platform, the number of classes and the typical class-imbalance present in biological data. Our results provide encoraging evidence that the Hopfield model, together with the use of its energy for the estimation of the false discoveries, is a particularly promising tool for precision medicine.

The trimer-based spin liquid candidate Ba4NbIr3O12

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: Ba4NbIr3O12, a previously unreported material with a triangular planar geometry of Ir3O12 trimers, is described. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show no magnetic ordering down to 1.8 K despite the Curie-Weiss temperature of -13 K. The material has a very low effective magnetic moment of 0.80 μB/f.u. To look at the lower temperature behavior, the specific heat (Cp) was measured down to 0.35 K; it shows no indication of magnetic ordering and fitting a power law to Cp vs. T below 2 K yields the power α = 3/4. Comparison to the previously unreported trimer compound made with the 4d element Rh in place of the 5d element Ir, Ba4NbRh3O12, is presented. The analysis suggests that Ba4NbIr3O12 is a candidate spin liquid material.

description: Dynamics of a periodically time dependent quantum system is reflected in the features of the eigenstates of the Floquet operator. Of the special importance are their localization properties quantitatively characterized by the eigenvector entropy, the inverse participation ratio or the eigenvector statistics. Since these quantities depend on the choice of the eigenbasis, we suggest to use the overcomplete basis of coherent states, uniquely determined by the classical phase space. In this way we define the mean Wehrl entropy of eigenvectors of the Floquet operator and demonstrate that this quantity is useful to describe quantum chaotic systems.

description: (Context) The change of the rotation period and the orientation of the rotation axis of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) is deducible from images taken by the scientific imaging instruments on-board the Rosetta mission with high precision. Non gravitational forces are a natural explanation for these data. (Aims) We describe observed changes for the orientation of the rotation axis and the rotation period of 67P/C-G. For these changes we give an explanation based on a sublimation model with a best-fit for the surface active fraction (model P). Torque effects of periodically changing gas emissions on the surface are considered. (Methods) We solve the equation of state for the angular momentum in the inertial and the body-fixed frames and provide an analytic theory of the rotation changes in terms of Fourier coefficients, generally applicable to periodically forced rigid body dynamics. (Results) The torque induced changes of the rotation state constrain the physical properties of the surface, the sublimation rate and the local active fraction of the surface. (Conclusions) We determine a distribution of the local surface active fraction in agreement with the rotation properties, period and orientation, of 67P/C-G. The torque movement confirms that the sublimation increases faster than the insolation towards perihelion. The derived relatively uniform activity pattern is discussed in terms of related surface features.

description: We investigate a simplified model for the strange stars in the framework of Finslerian spacetime geometry, composed of charged fluid. It is considered that the fluid consisting of three flavor quarks including a small amount of non-interacting electrons to maintain the chemical equilibrium and assumed that the fluid is compressible by nature. To obtain the simplified form of charged strange star we considered constant flag curvature. Based on geometry, we have developed the field equations within the localized charge distribution. We considered that the strange quarks distributed within the stellar system are compiled with the MIT bag model type of equation of state (EOS) and the charge distribution within the system follows a power law. We represent the exterior spacetime by the Finslerian Ressiner-Nordstr{ö}m space-time. The maximum anisotropic stress is obtained at the surface of the system. Whether the system is in equilibrium or not, has been examined with respect to the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation, Herrera cracking concept, different energy conditions and adiabatic index. We obtain that the total charge is of the order of 10$^{20}$ C and the corresponding electric field is of around 10$^{22}$ V/m. The central density and central pressure vary inversely with the charge. Varying the free parameter (charge constant) of the model, we find the generalized mass-radius variation of strange stars and determine the maximum limited mass with the corresponding radius. Furthermore, we also considered the variation of mass and radius against central density respectively.

description: We focus on the problem of managing a shared physical wireless sensor network where a single network infrastructure provider leases the physical resources of the networks to application providers to run/deploy specific applications/services. In this scenario, we solve jointly the problems of Application Admission Control (AAC), that is, whether to admit the application/service to the physical network, and wireless Sensor Network Slicing (SNS), that is, to allocate the required physical resources to the admitted applications in a transparent and effective way. We propose a mathematical programming framework to model the joint AAC-SNS problem which is then leveraged to design effective solution algorithms. The proposed framework is thoroughly evaluated on realistic wireless sensor networks infrastructures.

description: Starting with the many-body Schrödinger equation we derive new rate equations for resonant transport in quantum dots linked by ballistic channels with high density of states. The charging and the Pauli exclusion principle effects were taken into account. It is shown that the current in such a system displays quantum coherence effects, even if the dots are away one from another. A comparative analysis of quantum coherence effects in coupled and separated dots is presented. The rate equations are extended for description of coherent and incoherent transport in arbitrary multi-dot systems. It is demonstrated that new rate equations constitute a generalization of the well-known optical Bloch equations.

We extend the previous shell-model calculations, done in the sd model space, by including also the p orbitals in order to see whether the negative-parity states produce any significant effect in the conversion rate. The analysis of the results shows the dominance of coherent transitions mediated by isovector operators and going by the ground state of the target, with practically null influence of excited positive- or negative-parity states.

In their 1941 account for the Flora of Peru (Smith & Schubert 1941a), Lyman Bradford Smith and Bernice G. Schubert cite Peruvian material collected by Clarke as B. cinnabarina. We have not seen any material collected by anyone named Clarke from Peru but suspect any such material, if it exists, was collected in Bolivia.

We carry out a nonlinear analysis to determine the propagation speed of the restabilized ripple patterns, and the amplitudes and phases of their first, second, and third harmonics. The agreement between the theory and our numerical simulations is excellent near the onset of instability. We also determine the Eckhaus boundary, outside which the steady ripple patterns are unstable.

description: Nuclear energy production worldwide has created the problem of what to do with its legacy of high-level radioactive waste. This waste, increasing at a rate of around 12,000 tonnes a year, is dangerous to humans and the environment, and so must be contained for durations up to hundreds of thousands of years, or longer.226 Alongside technical questions of nuclear waste storage, such ‘deep’ timescales also open up questions such as how the hazardous toxicity of these materials could be communicated to future generations of people, or even how such long-term futures could be imagined from a present perspective. To address these concerns, the Nuclear Energy Association launched an interdisciplinary initiative in 2011 named the Preservation of Records, Knowledge and Memory across Generations (or RK&M) project. Taking this project as its starting point, this thesis argues that the imaginary of nuclear futures is based on a problematic assumption, that of a universalised image of a future human, separated from ‘nature’ and made safe against fear of nuclear apocalypse. The thesis challenges this basic premise, proposing a more critical perspective on transformations of ‘the human’ in relation to deep times of nuclear waste. It does this through practice-based methods and a written dissertation. The art encounter is rethought as a speculative ethical call from an unknown entangled future, alienating experience in the present. Through practice, artwork is developed as a buried distributed ‘marker’ of nuclear toxicity. Against current proposals to mark waste storage sites, this highlights the materiality of the waste itself as part of an ongoing ecology of toxicity its viewers are implicated within. Through developing 3D-printed demons, it uses mythic fiction as method to connect local sites with histories and deep time futures of radioactive waste. This informs the dissertation, which goes on to propose a new aesthetic structure that escapes traditions of the sublime and the ‘alreadymade’ of contemporary art through imagining radioactive waste as future relic.

description: Neuro-inspired computing architectures are one of the leading candidates to solve complex, large-scale associative learning problems. The two key building blocks for neuromorphic computing are the synapse and the neuron, which form the distributed computing and memory units. Solid state implementations of these units remain an active area of research. Specifically, voltage or current controlled oscillators are considered a minimal representation of neurons for hardware implementations. Such oscillators should demonstrate synchronization and coupling dynamics for demonstrating collective learning behavior, besides the desirable individual characteristics such as scaling, power, and performance. To this end, we propose the use of nanoscale, epitaxial heterostructures of phase change oxides and oxides with metallic conductivity as a fundamental unit of an ultralow power, tunable electrical oscillator capable of operating in the microwave regime. Our simulations show that optimized heterostructure design with low thermal boundary resistance can result in operation frequency of up to 3 GHz and power consumption as low as 15 fJ/cycle with rich coupling dynamics between the oscillators.

description: Recent observational programmes are providing a global view of the Milky Way bulge that serves as template for detailed comparison with models and extragalactic bulges. A number of surveys (i.e. VVV, GIBS, GES, ARGOS, BRAVA, APOGEE) are producing comprehensive and detailed extinction, metallicity, kinematics and stellar density maps of the Galactic bulge with unprecedented accuracy. However, the still missing key ingredient is the distribution of stellar ages across the bulge. To overcome this limitation, we aim to age-date the stellar population in several bulge fields with the ultimate goal of deriving an age map of the Bulge. This paper presents the methodology and the first results obtained for a field along the Bulge minor axis, at $b=-6^\circ$. We use a new PSF-fitting photometry of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey data to construct deep color-magnitude diagrams of the bulge stellar population down to $\sim$ 2 mag below the Main Sequence turnoff. We find the bulk of the bulge stellar population in the observed field along the minor axis to be at least older than $\sim$ 7.5 Gyr. In particular, when the metallicity distribution function spectroscopically derived by GIBS is used, the best fit to the data is obtained with a combination of synthetic populations with ages in between $\sim$ 7.5 Gyr and 11 Gyr. However, the fraction of stars younger than $\sim$ 10 Gyr strongly depends upon the number of Blue Straggler Stars present in the bulge. Simulations show that the observed color-magnitude diagram of the bulge in the field along the minor axis is incompatible with the presence of a conspicuous population of intermediate-age/young (i.e. $\lesssim 5$ Gyr) stars.

description: High resolution optical spectra (R = 60 000) of the LBV star P Cyg beyond outburst were obtained on the 6-meter BTA telescope in the wavelength range 477-780 nm. We perform a detailed identification of different types lines (photospheric absorptions, permitted and forbidden emissions, components of lines with P Cyg type profiles), and studied the variability of their profiles and radial velocities. The average radial velocity from positions of forbidden emissions ([NII] 5754.64, [FeII] 5261.62, [FeII] 7155.14 and [NiII] 7377.83 Å) is accepted as the system velocity Vsys=$-34\pm1.4$ km/s. About a dozen photospheric absorptions of CNO triad ions and SiIII are found, their stable position, Vr(abs)=$-73.8$ km/s, shifted relative to at $-40$ km/s, indicates that these absorbtions are formed in the pseudophotosphere region. The high-excitation emissions ([OI] 5577, 6300, 6363 Å, [OIII] 4959 and 5007 Å, as well as HeII 4686 Å) are absent in the spectra. The radial velocity Vr(DIBs)=$-11.8$ km/s according to the position of numerous DIBs is consistent with the position of the interstellar components of the D-lines NaI and KI forming in the galactic Perseus arm. A color excess E(B-V)=0.34+/-0.03 mag and interstellar absorption Av=1.09 mag were determined by measurements of equivalent widths of nine DIBs.

description: The nearby galaxy M33 hosts the most luminous steady X-ray source in the Local Group. The high spatial resolution of Chandra allows us to confirm that this ultra-luminous X-ray source is within the nucleus and rule out at the 4.6 sigma level a previously proposed possible counterpart located 1" away. The X-ray spectrum is well fitted by a disc blackbody with kT=1.18+-0.02 keV and R cos(theta)^(0.5}=57+-3 km, consistent with earlier results from ASCA and BeppoSAX. The source flux is steady between 1 and 1e4 s (<3% rms variability, 0.5-10 keV) with a 0.5-10 keV luminosity of 1.5e39 erg/s. The X-ray properties and an association with a radio source are reminiscent of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105.

description: Droplets can self-propel when immersed in another liquid in which a concentration gradient is present. Here we report the experimental and numerical study of a self-propelling oil droplet in a vertically stratified ethanol/water mixture: At first, the droplet sinks slowly due to gravity, but then, before having reached its density matched position, jumps up suddenly. More remarkably, the droplet bounces repeatedly with an ever increasing jumping distance, until all of a sudden it stops after about 30 min. We identify the Marangoni stress at the droplet/liquid interface as responsible for the jumping: its strength grows exponentially because it pulls down ethanol-rich liquid, which in turn increases its strength even more. The jumping process can repeat because gravity restores the system. Finally, the sudden death of the jumping droplet is also explained. Our findings have demonstrated a type of prominent droplet bouncing inside a continuous medium with no wall or sharp interface.

description: The Luenberger productivity indicator applies directional distance functions which allow to specifying in what direction (i.e. direction of measurement) the operating units will be evaluated. In the presence of a change in the direction of measurement, the standard components of the existing Luenberger productivity indicator may provide values which are not compatible with reality. In order to eliminate this pitfall, the so-called bottoms-up approach is used to revisit the definition of the indicator and its components. We start with a list of selected sources of productivity change, namely efficiency change, technical change and direction change, then examine the best possible way of measuring each of the sources and combine them to derive a new measure of productivity change. The proposed indicator will be illustrated by means of an empirical application to a panel of 417 German saving banks over the time period 2006-2012. The example explains how the proposed approach is able to properly measure efficiency change, technical change and direction change. The results also provide conclusive evidence about the effect of the change in direction of measurement on the results of the productivity over time in a centralized management scenario.

description: As we are continuously depending on information technology applications by adopting electronic channels and software applications for our business, online transaction and communication, software security is increasingly becoming a necessity and more advanced concern. Both the functional and non-functional requirements are important and provide the necessary needs at the early phases of the software development process, specifically in the requirement phase. The aim of this research is to identify security threats early in the software development process to help the requirement engineer elicit appropriate security requirements in a more systematic manner throughout the requirement engineering process to ensure a secure and quality software development. This article proposes the STORE methodology for security requirement elicitation based on security threats analysis, which includes the identification of four points: PoA, PoB, PoC and PoD for effective security attack analysis. Further, the proposed STORE methodology is also validated by a case study of an ERP System. We also compare our STORE methodology with two existing techniques, namely, SQUARE and MOSRE. We have shown that more effective and efficient security requirements can be elicited by the STORE methodology and that it helps the security requirement engineer to elicit security requirements in a more organized manner.

description: Many hard problems in the computational sciences are equivalent to counting the leaves of a decision tree, or, more generally, summing a cost function over the nodes. These problems include calculating the permanent of a matrix, finding the volume of a convex polyhedron, and counting the number of linear extensions of a partially ordered set. Many approximation algorithms exist to estimate such sums. One of the most recent is Stochastic Enumeration (SE), introduced in 2013 by Rubinstein. In 2015, Vaisman and Kroese provided a rigorous analysis of the variance of SE, and showed that SE can be extended to a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme for certain cost functions on random trees. We present an algorithm that incorporates an importance function into SE, and provide theoretical analysis of its efficacy. We also present the results of numerical experiments to measure the variance of an application of the algorithm to the problem of counting linear extensions of a poset, and show that introducing importance sampling results in a significant reduction of variance as compared to the original version of SE.

description: We provide one of very few Data Envelopment Analysis efficiency studies of the German savings banks, thereby contributing evidence on the credit of their business model. This model distinguishes itself by the ultimate purposes to ensure public access to financial services and to support regional economies. To capture the respective goal set of the German savings banks, we propose a framework incorporating rationality concepts of decision making to derive appropriate performance criteria. On this basis, the 2006–2011 analysis reveals the active role of the savings banks in stabilizing the German economy during the financial crisis 2008–2009. The results also suggest that the banks are more efficient in fulfilling their public mandate than in generating profit. Furthermore, a stable scale efficiency pattern is observed, particularly showing that larger banks are experiencing notable decreasing returns to scale.

description: The problem of Wu-Yang ambiguities in 3 dimensions is related to the problem of existence of torsion free driebeins for an arbitrary potential. The ambiguity is only at the level of boundary conditions. We also find that in 3 dimensions any smooth Yang-Mills field tensor can be uniquely written as the non-Abelian magnetic field of a smooth Yang-Mills potential.

Control of Wave Packet Revivals Using Geometric Phases

description: Wave packets in a system governed by a Hamiltonian with a generic nonlinear spectrum typically exhibit both full and fractional revivals. It is shown that the latter can be eliminated by inducing suitable geometric phases in the states, by varying the parameters in the Hamiltonian cyclically with a period T. Further, with the introduction of this natural time step T, the occurrence of near revivals can be mapped onto that of Poincaré recurrences in an irrational rotation map of the circle. The distinctive recurrence time statistics of the latter can thus serve as a clear signature of the dynamics of wave packet revivals.

title: The overall Malmquist index: a new approach for measuring productivity changes over time

description: This paper deals with a special case of the non-homogeneity problem related to the determination of the global benchmark technology when measuring productivity changes over time. The authors propose a new way of constructing the global framework of the Malmquist index which applies the minimum extrapolation principle on the aggregation of the experienced contemporaneous technologies. The proposed index, called overall Malmquist index, preserves the role of each contemporaneous technology in the determination of the newly-proposed best practice technology, whereby an acceptable level of discrimination between non-homogeneous observations is provided. With respect to both computational and test properties, the proposed index possesses the circularity property, generates a single measure of productivity change and is immune to infeasibility under variable returns to scale. Furthermore, unlike in the global form, previously computed results by the overall Malmquist index are more stable and less sensitive to changes in the shape of the best practice technology when a new time period is incorporated. Similar to traditional indices, it can be decomposed into various components such as efficiency change, scale efficiency change, and best practice change. The suggested index will be illustrated by means of a real-world example from banking. In particular, it will be compared to the contemporaneous and global forms of the Malmquist index introduced into the literature by Färe et al. (1992) and Pastor and Lovell (2005), respectively.
