description: Android is one of the leading operating systems for smart phones in terms of market share and usage. Unfortunately, it is also an appealing target for attackers to compromise its security through malicious applications. To tackle this issue, domain experts and researchers are trying different techniques to stop such attacks. All the attempts of securing Android platform are somewhat successful. However, existing detection techniques have severe shortcomings, including the cumbersome process of feature engineering. Designing representative features require expert domain knowledge. There is a need for minimizing human experts' intervention by circumventing handcrafted feature engineering. Deep learning could be exploited by extracting deep features automatically. Previous work has shown that operational codes (opcodes) of executables provide key information to be used with deep learning models for detection process of malicious applications. The only challenge is to feed opcodes information to deep learning models. Existing techniques use one-hot encoding to tackle the challenge. However, the one-hot encoding scheme has severe limitations. In this paper, we introduce; (1) a novel technique for opcodes embedding, which we name Op2Vec, (2) based on the learned Op2Vec we have developed a dataset for end-to-end detection of android malware. Introducing the end-to-end Android malware detection technique avoids expert-intensive handcrafted features extraction, and ensures automation. Some of the recent deep learning-based techniques showed significantly improved results when tested with the proposed approach and achieved an average detection accuracy of 97.47%, precision of 0.976 and F1 score of 0.979.

description: Partial Integral Equations (PIEs) have been used to represent both systems with delay and systems of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in one or two spatial dimensions. In this paper, we show that these results can be combined to obtain a PIE representation of any suitably well-posed 1D PDE model with constant delay. In particular, we represent these delayed PDE systems as coupled systems of 1D and 2D PDEs, obtaining a PIE representation of both subsystems. Taking the feedback interconnection of these PIE subsystems, we then obtain a 2D PIE representation of the 1D PDE with delay. Next, based on the PIE representation, we formulate the problem of stability analysis as convex optimization of positive operators which can be solved using the PIETOOLS software suite. We apply the result to PDE examples with delay in the state and boundary conditions.

description: Isothermic surfaces are surfaces which allow a conformal curvature line parametrisation. They form an integrable system, and Darboux transforms of isothermic surfaces obey Bianchi permutability: for two distinct spectral parameters the corresponding Darboux transforms have a common Darboux transform which can be computed algebraically. In this paper, we discuss two-step Darboux transforms with the same spectral parameter and show that these are obtained by a Sym-type construction: All two-step Darboux transforms of an isothermic surface are given, without further integration, by parallel sections of the associated family of the isothermic surface, either algebraically or by differentiation against the spectral parameter.

In particular, we consider the generalized omega function $Ω_{\ell}(n)= \sum_{p^ν\mid\mid n} ν^{\ell}$ investigated by Duncan (1962) and Hassani (2018), and the functions $A(n)=\sum_{p^ν\mid\mid n} νp$, $A^*(n)= \sum_{p \mid n} p$, $B(n)=A(n)-A^*(n)$ studied by Alladi and Erdős (1977). As a key auxiliary result we use an inclusion-exclusion-type identity.

description: In this paper, a deep learning color image steganography scheme combining convolutional autoencoders and ResNet architecture is proposed. Traditional steganography methods suffer from some critical defects such as low capacity, security, and robustness. In recent decades, image hiding and image extraction were realized by autoencoder convolutional neural networks to solve the aforementioned challenges. The contribution of this paper is introducing a new scheme for color image steganography inspired by ResNet architecture. The reverse ResNet architecture is utilized to extract the secret image from the stego image. In the proposed method, all images are passed through the prepossess model which is a convolutional deep neural network with the aim of feature extraction. Then, the operational model generates stego and extracted images. In fact, the operational model is an autoencoder based on ResNet structure that produces an image from feature maps. The advantage of proposed structure is identity of models in embedding and extraction phases. The performance of the proposed method is studied using COCO and CelebA datasets. For quantitative comparisons with previous related works, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), the structural similarity index (SSIM) and hiding capacity are evaluated. The experimental results verify that the proposed scheme performs better than traditional and pervious deep steganography methods. The PSNR and SSIM are more than 40 dB and 0.98, respectively that implies high imperceptibility of the proposed method. Also, this method can hide a color image of the same size in another color image, which can be inferred that the relative capacity of the proposed method is 8 bits per pixel.

description: Heterogeneous teams of robots, leveraging a balance between autonomy and human interaction, bring powerful capabilities to the problem of exploring dangerous, unstructured subterranean environments. Here we describe the solution developed by Team CSIRO Data61, consisting of CSIRO, Emesent and Georgia Tech, during the DARPA Subterranean Challenge. These presented systems were fielded in the Tunnel Circuit in August 2019, the Urban Circuit in February 2020, and in our own Cave event, conducted in September 2020. A unique capability of the fielded team is the homogeneous sensing of the platforms utilised, which is leveraged to obtain a decentralised multi-agent SLAM solution on each platform (both ground agents and UAVs) using peer-to-peer communications. This enabled a shift in focus from constructing a pervasive communications network to relying on multi-agent autonomy, motivated by experiences in early circuit events. These experiences also showed the surprising capability of rugged tracked platforms for challenging terrain, which in turn led to the heterogeneous team structure based on a BIA5 OzBot Titan ground robot and an Emesent Hovermap UAV, supplemented by smaller tracked or legged ground robots. The ground agents use a common CatPack perception module, which allowed reuse of the perception and autonomy stack across all ground agents with minimal adaptation.

description: Radiance fields produce high fidelity images with high rendering speed, but are difficult to manipulate. We effectively perform avatar texture transfer across different appearances by combining benefits from radiance fields and mesh surfaces. We represent the source as a radiance field using 3D Gaussian Splatter, then project the Gaussians on the target mesh. Our pipeline consists of Source Preconditioning, Target Vectorization and Texture Projection. The projection completes in 1.12s in a pure CPU compute, compared to baselines techniques of Per Face Texture Projection and Ray Casting (31s, 4.1min). This method lowers the computational requirements, which makes it applicable to a broader range of devices from low-end mobiles to high end computers.

description: Invariance-based randomization tests -- such as permutation tests, rotation tests, or sign changes -- are an important and widely used class of statistical methods. They allow drawing inferences under weak assumptions on the data distribution. Most work focuses on their type I error control properties, while their consistency properties are much less understood. We develop a general framework and a set of results on the consistency of invariance-based randomization tests in signal-plus-noise models. Our framework is grounded in the deep mathematical area of representation theory. We allow the transforms to be general compact topological groups, such as rotation groups, acting by general linear group representations. We study test statistics with a generalized sub-additivity property. We apply our framework to a number of fundamental and highly important problems in statistics, including sparse vector detection, testing for low-rank matrices in noise, sparse detection in linear regression, and two-sample testing. Comparing with minimax lower bounds, we find perhaps surprisingly that in some cases, randomization tests detect signals at the minimax optimal rate.

description: Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the thorax is widely used for the detection and monitoring of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, CT images can contain artifacts due to the acquisition or the processes involved in image reconstruction. Radiologists often have to distinguish between such artifacts and actual PEs. Our main contribution comes in the form of a scalable hypothesis testing method for CT, to enable quantifying uncertainty of possible PEs. In particular, we introduce a Bayesian Framework to quantify the uncertainty of an observed compact structure that can be identified as a PE. We assess the ability of the method to operate under high noise environments and with insufficient data.

description: We continue the study of fuzzy geometries inside Connes' spectral formalism and their relation to multimatrix models. In this companion paper to [arXiv 2007:10914, Ann. Henri Poincaré] we propose a gauge theory setting based on noncommutative geometry, which -- just as the traditional formulation in terms of almost-commutative manifolds -- has the ability to also accommodate a Higgs field. However, in contrast to "almost-commutative manifolds", the present framework employs only finite dimensional algebras which we call gauge matrix spectral triples. In a path-integral quantization approach to the Spectral Action, this allows to state Yang-Mills--Higgs theory (on four-dimensional Euclidean fuzzy space) as an explicit random multimatrix model obtained here, whose matrix fields mirror those of the Yang-Mills--Higgs theory on a smooth manifold.

We use this to give a complete analysis of the Adams spectral sequence for the connective image-of-$J$ spectrum, finishing a calculation that was begun by D. Davis in 1975.

description: Group dance, a sub-genre characterized by intricate motions made by a cohort of performers in tight synchronization, has a longstanding and culturally significant history and, in modern forms such as cheerleading, a broad base of current adherents. However, despite its popularity, learning group dance routines remains challenging. Based on the prior success of interactive systems to support individual dance learning, this paper argues that group dance settings are fertile ground for augmentation by interactive aids. To better understand these design opportunities, this paper presents a sequence of user-centered studies of and with amateur cheerleading troupes, spanning from the formative (interviews, observations) through the generative (an ideation workshop) to concept validation (technology probes and speed dating). The outcomes are a nuanced understanding of the lived practice of group dance learning, a set of interactive concepts to support those practices, and design directions derived from validating the proposed concepts. Through this empirical work, we expand the design space of interactive dance practice systems from the established context of single-user practice (primarily focused on gesture recognition) to a multi-user, group-based scenario focused on feedback and communication.

description: Genome data are crucial in modern medicine, offering significant potential for diagnosis and treatment. Thanks to technological advancements, many millions of healthy and diseased genomes have already been sequenced; however, obtaining the most suitable data for a specific study, and specifically for validation studies, remains challenging with respect to scale and access. Therefore, in silico genomics sequence generators have been proposed as a possible solution. However, the current generators produce inferior data using mostly shallow (stochastic) connections, detected with limited computational complexity in the training data. This means they do not take the appropriate biological relations and constraints, that originally caused the observed connections, into consideration. To address this issue, we propose cancer-inspired genomics mapper model (CGMM), that combines genetic algorithm (GA) and deep learning (DL) methods to tackle this challenge. CGMM mimics processes that generate genetic variations and mutations to transform readily available control genomes into genomes with the desired phenotypes. We demonstrate that CGMM can generate synthetic genomes of selected phenotypes such as ancestry and cancer that are indistinguishable from real genomes of such phenotypes, based on unsupervised clustering. Our results show that CGMM outperforms four current state-of-the-art genomics generators on two different tasks, suggesting that CGMM will be suitable for a wide range of purposes in genomic medicine, especially for much-needed validation studies.

description: We present a simple quantum interactive proof (QIP) protocol using the quantum state teleportation (QST) and quantum energy teleportation (QET) protocols. QET is a technique that allows a receiver at a distance to extract the local energy by local operations and classical communication (LOCC), using the energy injected by the supplier as collateral. QET works for any local Hamiltonian with entanglement and, for our study, it is important that getting the ground state of a generic local Hamiltonian is quantum Merlin Arthur (QMA)-hard. The key motivations behind employing QET for these purposes are clarified. Firstly, in cases where a prover possesses the correct state and executes the appropriate operations, the verifier can effectively validate the presence of negative energy with a high probability (Completeness). Failure to select the appropriate operators or an incorrect state renders the verifier incapable of observing negative energy (Soundness). Importantly, the verifier solely observes a single qubit from the prover's transmitted state, while remaining oblivious to the prover's Hamiltonian and state (Zero-knowledge). Furthermore, the analysis is extended to distributed quantum interactive proofs, where we propose multiple solutions for the verification of each player's measurement. The complexity class of our protocol in the most general case belongs to QIP(3)=PSPACE, hence it provides a secure quantum authentication scheme that can be implemented in small quantum communication devices. It is straightforward to extend our protocol to Quantum Multi-Prover Interactive Proof (QMIP) systems, where the complexity is expected to be more powerful (PSPACE$\subset$QMIP=NEXPTIME). In our case, all provers share the ground state entanglement, hence it should belong to a more powerful complexity class QMIP$^*$.

description: CP-odd Higgs couplings to bottom and charm quarks arise in many extensions of the standard model and are of potential interest for electroweak baryogenesis. These couplings induce a contribution to the electron EDM. The experimental limit on the latter then leads to a strong bound on the CP-odd Higgs couplings. We point out that this bound receives large QCD corrections, even though it arises from a leptonic observable. We calculate the contribution of CP-odd Higgs couplings to the bottom and charm quarks in renormalisation-group improved perturbation theory at next-to-leading order in the strong interaction, thereby reducing the uncertainty to a few percent.

description: We introduce two-dimensional logics based on Łukasiewicz and Gödel logics to formalize paraconsistent fuzzy reasoning. The logics are interpreted on matrices, where the common underlying structure is the bi-lattice (twisted) product of the $[0,1]$ interval. The first (resp.\ second) coordinate encodes the positive (resp.\ negative) information one has about a statement. We propose constraint tableaux that provide a modular framework to address their completeness and complexity.

description: This is an important and natural question as the spacetime shear, inhomogeneity and tidal effects are all intertwined via the Einstein field equations. However, as we show in this paper, such scenarios are possible for limited classes of equations of state that are solutions to a highly non-linear and fourth order differential equation. To show this, we use a covariant semitetrad spacetime decomposition and present a novel geometrical classification of shear-free Locally Rotationally Symmetric (LRS-II) perfect fluid self-gravitating systems, in terms of the covariantly defined fluid acceleration and the fluid expansion. Noteworthily, we deduce the governing differential equation that gives the possible limited equations of state of matter.

description: In this paper, we investigate a conformally flat and complete manifold $(M,g)=(\mathbb{R}^n,e^{2u}|dx|^2)$ with finite total Q-curvature. We introduce a new volume entropy, incorporating the background Euclidean metric, and demonstrate that the metric $g$ is normal if and only if the volume entropy is finite. Furthermore, we establish an identity for the volume entropy utilizing the integrated Q-curvature. Additionally, under normal metric assumption, we get a result concering the behavior of the geometric distance at infinity compared with Euclidean distance. With help of this result, we prove that each polynomial growth polyharmonic function on such manifolds is of finite dimension. Meanwhile, we prove several rigidity results by imposing restrictions on the sign of the Q-curvature. Specifically, we establish that on such manifolds, the Cohn-Vossen inequality achieves equality if and only if each polynomial growth polyharmonic function is a constant.

description: A quantized version of the Sierpinski gasket is proposed, on purely topological grounds, as a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ with a suitable form of self-similarity. Several properties of $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ are studied, in particular its nuclearity, the structure of ideals as well as the description of irreducible representations and extremal traces. A harmonic structure is introduced, giving rise to a self-similar Dirichlet form $\mathcal{E}$. A spectral triple is also constructed, extending one already known for the classical gasket, from which $\mathcal{E}$ can be reconstructed. Moreover we show that $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ is a compact quantum metric space.

description: Humans are most likely to be exposed to microcystins (MCs) combined with other water pollutants rather than to individual compounds through the consumption of contaminated drinking water or through recreational activities, such as swimming. However, the combined effects of MC-LR, estradiol (EST), and ractopamine (RAC) have not been extensively researched. The goal of this study was to investigate the combined effects of these compounds. For this purpose, cytotoxicity was evaluated in HepG2 cells treated with single or combined doses of MC-LR, EST, and RAC based on concentration addition (CA), independent action (IA), and Chou-Talalay's combination-index (CI) methods. Singly applied MC-LR and EST induced HepG2 cellular proliferation at low-concentration levels (1 × 10−12–1 × 10−9 M), and decreased viability at higher doses of exposure (1 × 10−9–1 × 10−6 M). Exposure to binary or ternary mixtures of MC-LR, EST, and RAC exhibited synergistic effects at high concentrations, irrespective of the models used. In contrast, antagonism was observed for the mixture of MC-LR and EST at relatively low concentrations. A synergistic effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was observed for the combined drugs at high concentrations. Additionally, the ratio of apoptotic cells was increased more by the combined drugs than the single drugs, consistent with the inhibition of cell viability. The ROS increase after treatment with the combined drugs may enhance cytotoxicity and subsequently lead to cell apoptosis. Given the interactions between MC-LR, EST, and RAC, government regulatory standards for MC-LR should consider the toxicological interactions between MC-LR and other environment pollutions.

description: The reproducibility of academic research has long been a persistent issue, contradicting one of the fundamental principles of science. What is even more concerning is the increasing number of false claims found in academic manuscripts recently, casting doubt on the validity of reported results. In this paper, we utilize an adaptive version of Benford's law, a statistical phenomenon that describes the distribution of leading digits in naturally occurring datasets, to identify potential manipulation of results in research manuscripts, solely using the aggregated data presented in those manuscripts. Our methodology applies the principles of Benford's law to commonly employed analyses in academic manuscripts, thus, reducing the need for the raw data itself. To validate our approach, we employed 100 open-source datasets and successfully predicted 79% of them accurately using our rules. Additionally, we analyzed 100 manuscripts published in the last two years across ten prominent economic journals, with ten manuscripts randomly sampled from each journal. Our analysis predicted a 3% occurrence of result manipulation with a 96% confidence level. Our findings uncover disturbing inconsistencies in recent studies and offer a semi-automatic method for their detection.

description: The Gamma Factory (GF) initiative aims at the construction of a unique experimental tool exploiting resonant interaction of light with ultra-relativistic partially stripped ions (PSI) stored in circular accelerators at CERN. Resonant excitation of high-energy electronic transitions in the ions is achieved through Doppler-boosting (by twice the Lorentz factor; from hundred to several thousand times) of light energy. In order to efficiently excite the ions, and hence generate intense beams of scattered/fluorescent photons, a detailed knowledge of the ions' electronic energy structure and the dynamics of optical excitation is required. Spectroscopic properties of PSI selected for the GF operation, as well as their optical excitation schemes, are investigated. Two regimes of the ion--light interaction are identified, leading to different dynamics of the excitation. The efficiency of the ion--light interaction, as well as the number of photons emitted from a single ion bunch, are estimated, both analytically and numerically, for three ions considered for the GF, i.e.~Li-like ${}^{208}_{\phantom{0}82}$Pb$^{79+}$, Li-like ${}^{40}_{20}$Ca$^{17+}$, and H-like ${}^{208}_{\phantom{0}82}$Pb$^{81+}$.

description: The Schrödinger bridge problem (SBP) finds the most likely stochastic evolution between two probability distributions given a prior stochastic evolution. As well as applications in the natural sciences, problems of this kind have important applications in machine learning such as dataset alignment and hypothesis testing. Whilst the theory behind this problem is relatively mature, scalable numerical recipes to estimate the Schrödinger bridge remain an active area of research. We prove an equivalence between the SBP and maximum likelihood estimation enabling direct application of successful machine learning techniques. We propose a numerical procedure to estimate SBPs using Gaussian process and demonstrate the practical usage of our approach in numerical simulations and experiments.

The exequatur of ecclesiastical judgments of nullity of marriage in Italy after the Motu Proprio Mitis iudex
ABSTRACT: The paper examines the many problems about the exequaturof ecclesiastical sentences in  Italy after Pope Francis reform. The Pope profoundly changed the process for declaration of nullity of marriage. The recent law introduces uncertain profiles and raises complex issues. In the new procedures the right of defense doesn’t seems just guaranteed. For these reasons will arise issues related to the conflict with the Italian public order.

description: Twisted van der Waals materials have risen as highly tunable platform for realizing unconventional superconductivity. Here we demonstrate how a topological superconducting state can be driven in a twisted graphene multilayer at a twist angle of approximately 1.6 degrees proximitized to other 2D materials. We show that an encapsulated twisted bilayer subject to induced Rashba spin-orbit coupling, s-wave superconductivity and exchange field generates a topological superconducting state enabled by the moire pattern. We demonstrate a variety of topological states with different Chern numbers highly tunable through doping, strain and bias voltage. Our proposal does not depend on a fine tuning of the twist angle, but solely on the emergence of moire minibands and is applicable for twist angles between 1.3 and 3 degrees. Our results establish the potential of twisted graphene bilayers to create artificial topological superconductivity without requiring ultraflat dispersions.
