description: Symplectic integrators are widely used for long-term integration of conservative astrophysical problems due to their ability to preserve the constants of motion; however, they cannot in general be applied in the presence of nonconservative interactions. In this Letter, we develop the "slimplectic" integrator, a new type of numerical integrator that shares many of the benefits of traditional symplectic integrators yet is applicable to general nonconservative systems. We utilize a fixed time-step variational integrator formalism applied to the principle of stationary nonconservative action developed in Galley, 2013; Galley, Tsang & Stein, 2014. As a result, the generalized momenta and energy (Noether current) evolutions are well-tracked. We discuss several example systems, including damped harmonic oscillators, Poynting-Robertson drag, and gravitational radiation reaction, by utilizing our new publicly available code to demonstrate the slimplectic integrator algorithm. Slimplectic integrators are well-suited for integrations of systems where nonconservative effects play an important role in the long-term dynamical evolution. As such they are particularly appropriate for cosmological or celestial N-body dynamics problems where nonconservative interactions, e.g. gas interactions or dissipative tides, can play an important role.

description: We define the worldline harmonic SU(2|1) superspace and its analytic subspace as a deformation of the flat N=4, d=1 harmonic superspace. The harmonic superfield description of the two mutually mirror off-shell (4,4,0) SU(2|1) supermultiplets is developed and the corresponding invariant actions are presented, as well as the relevant classical and quantum supercharges. Whereas the σ-model actions exist for both types of the (4,4,0) multiplet, the invariant Wess-Zumino term can be defined only for one of them, thus demonstrating non-equivalence of these multiplets in the SU(2|1) case as opposed to the flat N=4, d=1 supersymmetry. A superconformal subclass of general SU(2|1) actions invariant under the trigonometric-type realizations of the supergroup D(2,1;α) is singled out. The superconformal Wess-Zumino actions possess an infinite-dimensional supersymmetry forming the centerless N=4 super Virasoro algebra. We solve a few simple instructive examples of the SU(2|1) supersymmetric quantum mechanics of the (4,4,0) multiplets and reveal the SU(2|1) representation contents of the corresponding sets of the quantum states.

description: People spend a significant amount of time trying to make sense of the internet, collecting content from a variety of sources and organizing it to make decisions and achieve their goals. While humans are able to fluidly iterate on collecting and organizing information in their minds, existing tools and approaches introduce significant friction into the process. We introduce Fuse, a browser extension that externalizes users' working memory by combining low-cost collection with lightweight organization of content in a compact card-based sidebar that is always available. Fuse helps users simultaneously extract key web content and structure it in a lightweight and visual way. We discuss how these affordances help users externalize more of their mental model into the system (e.g., saving, annotating, and structuring items) and support fast reviewing and resumption of task contexts. Our 22-month public deployment and follow-up interviews provide longitudinal insights into the structuring behaviors of real-world users conducting information foraging tasks.

description: Financial conflicts of interest (FCOIs) among authors of clinical practice guidelines have the potential to influence treatment recommendations. To quantify FCOIs with industry among authors of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. We assessed FCOIs occurring during 2014 among NCCN guideline authors in the United States. All were physician members of the NCCN guideline committees for lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer as of the end of 2014. The data source for FCOIs was Open Payments, which is publically reported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This study was cross-sectional. The proportion of NCCN authors having FCOIs with industry; the average amount received from industry sources per author. Of 125 guideline authors, 108 (86%) had at least 1 reported FCOI. Authors received an average of $10 011 (range, $0-$106 859) in general payments (GPs), which include consulting, meals, lodging, and similar transfers of value, and $236 066 (range $0-$2 756 713) in industry research payments (RPs), including funding associated with clinical trials. Approximately 84% of authors received GPs, while 47% received RPs. Eight (6%) had FCOIs in excess of the $50 000 net and/or $20 000 single-company maximums stipulated by NCCN. Among NCCN guideline authors, FCOIs involving RPs were of greater value, while those involving GPs were more prevalent. Although FCOIs may result from engaging in important scholarship, FCOIs may still influence guideline authors in counterproductive ways. Research is needed to understand how best to manage author FCOIs during guideline creation.

description: The review considers various groups of Heusler compounds, which can have the properties of a semiconductor, a half-metallic ferromagnet, a spin gapless semiconductor, a topological semimetal, and a noncollinear antiferromagnet. In these Heusler compounds, "conventional" from the point of view of the crystal structure, unusual kinetic and magnetic properties can be observed, which are caused by the features of their electronic structure (e.g., presence of an energy gap for one spin projection) and magnetic state (e.g., strong ferromagnetism, compensated ferrimagnetism, etc.). Their magnetic and kinetic characteristics are very sensitive to external influences. Depending on the alloy composition and external parameters, transitions between the considered states can be realized. All this opens up further prospects for controlling the electronic and magnetic characteristics of such compounds and their practical application.

description: In this paper we present a general framework for solving the stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) on a network of one-dimensional wires modelled by a metric graph with suitable matching conditions at the vertices. A formal solution is given that expresses the wave function and its derivative at one end of an edge (wire) nonlinearly in terms of the values at the other end. For the cubic NLSE this nonlinear transfer operation can be expressed explicitly in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. Its application reduces the problem of solving the corresponding set of coupled ordinary nonlinear differential equations to a finite set of nonlinear algebraic equations. For sufficiently small amplitudes we use canonical perturbation theory which makes it possible to extract the leading nonlinear corrections over large distances.

Characterisation of the NUV and Optical Emission and Temperature of Flares from Ross 733 with Swift and TESS

description: We present the results of a coordinated campaign to simultaneously observe the M star binary Ross 733 simultaneously in the optical and near-ultraviolet (NUV) with TESS and Swift respectively. We observed two flares in the Swift NUV light curve. One of these was decay phase of a flare that was also detected with TESS and the other was only detected in the NUV. We used the TESS light curve to measure the white-light flare rate of Ross 733, and calculate that the system flares with an energy of $10^{33}$ erg once every 1.5 days. We used our simultaneous observations to measure a pseudo-continuum temperature of $7340^{+810}_{-900}$K during the flare decay. We also used our observations to test the NUV predictions of the 9000 K blackbody flare model, and find that it underestimates number of flares we detect in our Swift NUV light curve. We discuss the reasons for this and attribute it to the unaccounted contributions from emission lines and continuum temperatures above 9000 K. We discuss how additional observations are required to break the degeneracy between the two in future multi-wavelength flare campaigns.

description: Nowadays, intrusion detection systems based on deep learning deliver state-of-the-art performance. However, recent research has shown that specially crafted perturbations, called adversarial examples, are capable of significantly reducing the performance of these intrusion detection systems. The objective of this paper is to design an efficient transfer learning-based adversarial detector and then to assess the effectiveness of using multiple strategically placed adversarial detectors compared to a single adversarial detector for intrusion detection systems. In our experiments, we implement existing state-of-the-art models for intrusion detection. We then attack those models with a set of chosen evasion attacks. In an attempt to detect those adversarial attacks, we design and implement multiple transfer learning-based adversarial detectors, each receiving a subset of the information passed through the IDS. By combining their respective decisions, we illustrate that combining multiple detectors can further improve the detectability of adversarial traffic compared to a single detector in the case of a parallel IDS design.

description: To pinpoint the peak location of the synchrotron total intensity emission in a spiral arm, we use a map of the spiralarm locations (from the observed arm tangent). Thus In a typical spiral arm in Galactic Quadrant I, we find the peak of the synchrotron radiation to be located about 220 +/-40 pc away from the inner arm edge (hot dust lane) inside the spiral arm. While most of the galactic disk has a clockwise largescale magnetic field, we make a statistical analysis to delimitate more precisely the smaller reverse annulus wiith a counterclockwise galactic magnetic field. We find an annulus width of 2.1 +/-0.3 kpc (measured along the Galactic radius), located from 5.5 to 7.6 kpc from the Galactic Center). The annulus does not overlay with a single spiral arm -- it encompasses segments of two different spiral arms. Using a recent delineation of the position of spiral arms, the field-reversed annulus is seen to encompass the Crux-Centaurus arm (in Galactic Quadrant IV) and the Sagittarius arm (in Galactic Quadrant I).

description: We study the consequences of an electron-phonon ($e$-$ph$) interaction that is strongly peaked in the forward scattering ($\mathbf{q} = 0$) direction in a two-dimensional superconductor using Migdal-Eliashberg theory. We find that strong forward scattering results in an enhanced $T_c$ that is linearly proportional to the strength of the dimensionless $e$-$ph$ coupling constant $λ_m$ in the weak coupling limit. This interaction also produces distinct replica bands in the single-particle spectral function, similar to those observed in recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments on FeSe monolayers on SrTiO$_3$ and BaTiO$_3$ substrates. By comparing our model to photoemission experiments, we infer an $e$-$ph$ coupling strength that can provide a significant portion of the observed high $T_c$ in these systems.

description: Extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) was recently discovered in WTe$_2$, triggering extensive research on this material regarding the XMR origin. Since WTe$_2$ is a layered compound with metal layers sandwiched between adjacent insulating chalcogenide layers, this material has been considered to be electronically two-dimensional (2D). Here we report two new findings on WTe$_2$: (1) WTe$_2$ is electronically 3D with a mass anisotropy as low as $2$, as revealed by the 3D scaling behavior of the resistance $R(H,θ)=R(\varepsilon_θH)$ with $\varepsilon_θ=(\cos^2 θ+ γ^{-2}\sin^2 θ)^{1/2}$, $θ$ being the magnetic field angle with respect to c-axis of the crystal and $γ$ being the mass anisotropy; (2) the mass anisotropy $γ$ varies with temperature and follows the magnetoresistance behavior of the Fermi liquid state. Our results not only provide a general scaling approach for the anisotropic magnetoresistance but also are crucial for correctly understanding the electronic properties of WTe$_2$, including the origin of the remarkable 'turn-on' behavior in the resistance versus temperature curve, which has been widely observed in many materials and assumed to be a metal-insulator transition.

description: Throughout quantum mechanics there is statistical balance, in the collective response of an ensemble of systems to differing measurement types. Statistical balance is a core feature of quantum mechanics, underlying quantum mechanical states, and not yet explained. The concept of "statistical balance" is here explored, comparing its meaning since 2019 with its original meaning in 2001. Statistical balance now refers to a feature of contexts in which: (a) there is a prescribed probability other than 0 or 1 for the collective response of an ensemble to one measurement type; and (b) the collective response of the same ensemble to another measurement type demonstrates that no well-defined value can be attributed, for the property relevant to the original measurement type, to individual members of the ensemble. In some unexplained way, the outcomes of single runs of a measurement of the original type "balance" each other to give an overall result in line with the prescribed probability. Unexplained statistical balance prompts caution in assessing the conceptual implications of entanglement, measurement, uncertainty, and two-slit and Bell-type analyses. Physicists have a responsibility to the wider population to be conceptually precise about quantum mechanics, and to make clear that many possible conceptual implications are uncertain.

description: The growth of thin oxide coatings on the aluminum substrate in water-based sodium tungstate electrolyte by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is discussed and experimentally illustrated. The growth is carried out using a distinctive ultra-low duty cycle pulsed direct current (DC) power supply. During the PEO processing elements present in micro-discharges are identified using standard optical emission spectroscopy (OES) technique. The spectral line shape analysis of the first two hydrogen Balmer lines shows the presence of two types of micro-discharges. Obtained coatings are also characterized with respect to their morphology and chemical and phase composition. It is shown that coatings are composed of Al, O, and W, featuring low roughness and porosity. Partial crystallization of the coatings resulted in identification of WO3, W3O8, and gamma-Al2O3 crystalline phases.

description: To protect against naturally occurring or adversely induced congestion in the Internet, we propose the concept of flyover reservations, a fundamentally new approach for addressing the availability demands of critical low-volume applications. In contrast to path-based reservation systems, flyovers are fine-grained "hop-based" bandwidth reservations on the level of individual autonomous systems. We demonstrate the scalability of this approach experimentally through simulations on large graphs. Moreover, we introduce Helia, a protocol for secure flyover reservation setup and data transmission. We evaluate Helia's performance based on an implementation in DPDK, demonstrating authentication and forwarding of reservation traffic at 160 Gbps. Our security analysis shows that Helia can resist a large variety of powerful attacks against reservation admission and traffic forwarding. Despite its simplicity, Helia outperforms current state-of-the-art reservation systems in many key metrics.

description: We theoretically study three-dimensional topological semimetals (TSMs) with nodal lines protected by crystalline symmetries. Compared with TSMs with point nodes, e.g., Weyl semimetals and Dirac semimetals, where the conduction and the valence bands touch at discrete points, in these new TSMs the two bands cross at closed lines in the Brillouin zone. We propose two new classes of symmetry protected nodal lines in the absence and in the presence of spin-orbital coupling (SOC), respectively. In the former, we discuss nodal lines that are protected by the combination of inversion symmetry and time-reversal symmetry; yet unlike any previously studied nodal lines in the same symmetry class, each nodal line has a $Z_2$ monopole charge and can only be created (annihilated) in pairs. In the second class, with SOC, we show that a nonsymmorphic symmetry (screw axis) protects a four-band crossing nodal line in systems having both inversion and time-reversal symmetries.

description: Graph Echo State Networks (GESN) have already demonstrated their efficacy and efficiency in graph classification tasks. However, semi-supervised node classification brought out the problem of over-smoothing in end-to-end trained deep models, which causes a bias towards high homophily graphs. We evaluate for the first time GESN on node classification tasks with different degrees of homophily, analyzing also the impact of the reservoir radius. Our experiments show that reservoir models are able to achieve better or comparable accuracy with respect to fully trained deep models that implement ad hoc variations in the architectural bias, with a gain in terms of efficiency.

description: In this paper, death probabilities derived from the Gompertz and Wittstein models are used to project mortality at advanced ages beginning at the age of 101 years. Life table data of Germany from 1871 to 2012 serve as a basis for the empirical analysis. Projections of the death probabilities and life table survivors will be shown. The increase of the death probabilities slows down at very old ages. Finally, Wittstein´s formula will be regarded as a distribution function. Its reversed hazard rate function, which will be derived together with the median and the modal value, will clarify the significance of the parameters of the Wittstein distribution.

description: Approximately 4–5% of breast cancer survivors will develop a new ipsilateral or contralateral cancer (“in-breast event”) over the 5 years following diagnosis, and annual surveillance mammography is recommended for those with residual breast tissue. The risk for such in-breast events persists over time, though increasing age at cancer diagnosis and treatment with hormonal therapy are associated with lower risk, and most older breast cancer survivors will ultimately die from non-breast cancer related causes. Specific guidelines for surveillance strategies in older patients are limited. Prospective data on the benefits and harms of surveillance mammography in this population are lacking, and most of the evidence is derived from observational, retrospective data, often in the general population.

description: We investigate $W'$ interpretations for the ATLAS 2 TeV diboson anomalies. The roles of the unitarity sum rules, which ensure the perturbativity of the longitudinal vector boson scattering amplitudes, are emphasized. We find the unitarity sum rules and the custodial symmetry are powerful enough to predict various nontrivial relations among $WWZ'$, $WZW'$, $WWh$, $WW'h$ and $ZZ'h$ coupling strengths in a model independent manner. We also perform surveys in the general parameter space of $W'$ models and find the ATLAS 2 TeV diboson anomalies may be interpreted as a $W'$ particle of the three site moose model, i.e., a Kaluza-Klein like particle in a deconstructed extra dimension model. It is also shown that the non standard-model-like Higgs boson is favored by the present data to interpret the ATLAS diboson anomalies as the consequences of the $W'$ and $Z'$ bosons.

Incidental Findings policy
genomic data

description: Context Analysis of whole genome sequence data can reveal information of clinical relevance to data subjects and their family members (incidental findings (IFs), broadly defined here to include any individual finding of clinical relevance, whether related or unrelated to the aims of secondary use (e.g. research project or healthcare diagnosis). Clinicians and researchers have legal and ethical obligations to appropriately handle IFs in a manner that shows due concern for the welfare of data subjects and their family members. The likelihood of IFs in healthcare and research contexts, as well as the benefits, risks, and costs of reporting them, are not fully understood. European healthcare and research organizations tend to handle IFs cautiously. 1+MG aims to facilitate the secondary use of pseudonymised genomic and related-health data for the purposes of research, health-care and policy-making. The scope of this policy therefore focuses on genomic IFs revealed in secondary use contexts. The uncertainties surrounding IFs are greater still in secondary use contexts compared to (both clinical and research) primary contexts. Secondary use contexts may be very distant from a patient care context. This makes it unclear if distant 1+MG data users, especially researchers, have legal and ethical duties of care towards data subjects. Practically speaking, it is also difficult for 1+MG data users to assess if a potential IF is (still) clinically actionable. Secondary use may occur many years after sequencing. The health and familial situation of a 1+MG data subject are not fully known to the data user, and become more uncertain with the passage of time. 1+MG minimum data standards ensure sufficient data quality to enable secondary use, but the data may not be suitable for informing diagnosis of the original data subjects or their family members. A key practical difficulty in cross-border, secondary use contexts is that the data user does not know what IF policy applied in the initial healthcare or research context. Efforts to communicate an IF from secondary use may be undermined if the IF has already been returned to the data subject or family members. Another practical difficulty in cross-border secondary use contexts is that reporting IFs requires dedicated coordination and collaboration between data users, 1+MG coordinating bodies, data holders, and (designated) healthcare professionals. Because of this context, reporting of IFs should be handled cautiously.

description: The ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter space mission has been successfully launched in February 2020. Onboard is the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (SO/PHI), which has two telescopes, a High Resolution Telescope (HRT) and the Full Disc Telescope (FDT). The instrument is designed to infer the photospheric magnetic field and line-of-sight velocity through differential imaging of the polarised light emitted by the Sun. It calculates the full Stokes vector at 6 wavelength positions at the Fe I 617.3 nm absorption line. Due to telemetry constraints, the instrument nominally processes these Stokes profiles onboard, however when telemetry is available, the raw images are downlinked and reduced on ground. Here the architecture of the on-ground pipeline for HRT is presented, which also offers additional corrections not currently available on board the instrument. The pipeline can reduce raw images to the full Stokes vector with a polarimetric sensitivity of $10^{-3}\cdot I_{c}$ or better.

description: Every moment, countless meteoroids enter our atmosphere unseen. The detection and measurement of meteors offer the unique opportunity to gain insights into the composition of our solar systems' celestial bodies. Researchers, therefore, carry out a wide-area-sky-monitoring to secure 360-degree video material, saving every single entry of a meteor. Existing machine intelligence cannot accurately recognize events of meteors intersecting the earth's atmosphere due to a lack of high-quality training data publicly available. This work presents four reusable open source solutions for researchers trained on data we collected due to the lack of available labeled high-quality training data. We refer to the proposed dataset as the NightSkyUCP dataset, consisting of a balanced set of 10,000 meteor- and 10,000 non-meteor-events. Our solutions apply various machine learning techniques, namely classification, feature learning, anomaly detection, and extrapolation. For the classification task, a mean accuracy of 99.1\% is achieved. The code and data are made public at figshare with DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.16451625

description: The documents are built on the 1+MG Glossary. In particular, the following expressions are used: ● Metadata: a set of data that describes and gives information about other data. Metadata do not include any data that are processed to produce any results of the data use such as health or genetic data. Metadata can be personal data where they contain information on the subject level (e.g. consent decisions of an individual data subject) ● Data collections: Data collections are data that come from the same collection context from the same controller(s) and can be characterised with non-personal metadata. A data collection can e.g. refer to data of a cohort or a public registry. ● Records: Data related to individual data subjects ● Data set: Data that are grouped in a certain context, e.g. for a user’s access. ● Enriched data: data where additional information is added, e.g. annotations ● Derived data: data that have been created by alteration of the original data (e.g. through data curation)

description: Recent progress in self-supervised or unsupervised machine learning has opened the possibility of building a full speech processing system from raw audio without using any textual representations or expert labels such as phonemes, dictionaries or parse trees. The contribution of the Zero Resource Speech Challenge series since 2015 has been to break down this long-term objective into four well-defined tasks -- Acoustic Unit Discovery, Spoken Term Discovery, Discrete Resynthesis, and Spoken Language Modeling -- and introduce associated metrics and benchmarks enabling model comparison and cumulative progress. We present an overview of the six editions of this challenge series since 2015, discuss the lessons learned, and outline the areas which need more work or give puzzling results.

Data protection
GDPR

description: The 1+MG Glossary aims to provide explanations on the use and specific meaning of data protection, ethics and technical terms relevant to the 1+MG Project. This glossary uses plain language to enable users with different backgrounds to understand these terms. For terms that are defined in the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), for example ‘personal data’, ‘controller’, and ‘processing’, the definition in Article 4 GDPR will be legally binding. Explanations of terms based on the GDPR are highlighted in blue, to distinguish them from non-legal (i.e., scientific, technical or ethical terms. This document draws largely on previous efforts and existing definitions (see references).

description: La investigación ha estado bajo a mirada marcada por la rigurosidad científica y el impacto académico que representa, sin embargo este modelo de medición cienciométrico se aleja del impacto social, político, económico y ambiental que en algunas ocasiones son más contundentes que los resultados científicos , pero no se incluyen como resultados representativos en los modelos de evaluación de revistas científicas tradicionales. Por ello se propone un modelo de clasificación, categorización y un artefacto de software para medir el impacto de una investigación respecto a su difusión y apropiación en los sectores y entornos de interés, así mismo verificar su influencia en la resolución de diferentes conflictos ambientales.
