description: We investigate the dynamics of the (47171) Lempo triple system, also known by 1999TC$_{36}$. We derive a full 3D $N$-body model that takes into account the orbital and spin evolution of all bodies, which are assumed triaxial ellipsoids. We show that, for reasonable values of the shapes and rotational periods, the present best fitted orbital solution for the Lempo system is chaotic and unstable in short time-scales. The formation mechanism of this system is unknown, but the orbits can be stabilised when tidal dissipation is taken into account. The dynamics of the Lempo system is very rich, but depends on many parameters that are presently unknown. A better understanding of this systems thus requires more observations, which also need to be fitted with a complete model like the one presented here.

description: Chronic tonsillitis (CT) is considered one of the most common diseases among pregnant women. A chronic pathological process localized in the palatine tonsils becomes a focus of constant pathological impulses. Assessment of the state of the function of the fetoplacental complex in this cohort of patients is relevant at the present time. Development of prognostic criteria for the development of perinatal pathology, which allow timely therapeutic and preventive interventions are an important factor in improving patient birth outcomes.

description: This paper is devoted to the variational study of an effective model for the electron transport in a graphene sample. We prove the existence of infinitely many stationary solutions for a nonlin-ear Dirac equation which appears in the WKB limit for the Schr{ö}dinger equation describing the semi-classical electron dynamics. The interaction term is given by a mean field, self-consistent potential which is the trace of the 3D Coulomb potential. Despite the nonlinearity being 4-homogeneous, compactness issues related to the limiting Sobolev embedding $H^{\frac{1}{2}}(Ω,\mathbb{C})\rightarrow L^{4} (Ω,\mathbb{C})$ are avoided thanks to the regular-ization property of the operator $(-Δ)^{-\frac{1}{2}$. This also allows us to prove smoothness of the solutions. Our proof follows by direct arguments.

description: Prospective memory (PM), which can be understood as the processes involved in realizing a delayed intention, has been found to be impaired following a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although PM can be empirically dissociated from retrospective memory, it inherently involves both prospective and retrospective components. This study utilized a formal multinomial processing tree (MPT) model that was developed and validated by Smith and Bayen (2004) to disentangle the prospective and retrospective recognition components underlying PM following TBI. Fifteen participants with a moderate to severe TBI and 15 age- and educationmatched control participants completed an event-based PM task that was embedded within an ongoing computer-based color-matching task. Results of the MPT modeling revealed a trend towards group differences in the prospective component and significant group differences in the retrospective recognition component of PM, despite intact post-test recall of the PM task and target words. More traditional data analyses revealed a significant cost to ongoing task performance with the inclusion of the PM task. Overall, our data suggested that our event-based PM task was resource demanding, and TBI participants tended to have difficulty with both the prospective and retrospective recognition aspects of PM.

Neuropathogenesis of the acute phase response to influenza virus in mice

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Influenza -- Pathophysiology

description: Influenza virus infection causes severe systemic clinical signs in infected mice. Non-neurotropic human strains of influenza virus are believed to be confined to the respiratory tract following intranasal (IN) infection. Characteristic symptoms of influenza infection include changes in body temperature, locomotor activity and sleep patterns. These symptoms are part of the acute phase response (APR), or flu syndrome. Such symptoms are in part regulated by cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF[alpha]) and interleukin 1 beta (IL1[beta]). However, it remains to be established whether the cytokines that act on the brain to induce the APR are produced in the brain or if they are made systemically and then reach the brain through the blood or other routes. To better understand the pathophysiology of the APR, we have characterized the presence of extrapulmonary virus in the brain and its effect on cytokine up-regulation. Furthermore, we characterized the role of the olfactory pathway in the ontogenesis of the APR after intranasal inoculation with influenza virus. We used for all our experiments a human mouse adapted strain of influenza virus named PR8. Virus was found in the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) as early as 4 h post-challenge where the virus appeared to go into partial replication. The virus co-localized in microglia and astrocytes but not in neurons. An increase in TNF[alpha], IL1[beta] and interferon-induced enzymes was also observed in the OB after viral challenge. Cytokines were produced by microglia, astrocytes and neurons in the OB. Surgical transection of the olfactory nerve (ONT) prior to the viral challenge delayed the virus-induced hypothermia. Additionally, the number of viral antigen-, TNF[alpha]? and IL1[beta]? immunoreactive (IR) cells was reduced in the OBs of mice that received the ONT. We also examined brain regions that have direct and indirect connections with the OB. No viral antigen-IR was observed in any of these regions; however, an increase in the number of TNF[alpha]? and IL1[beta]? IR cells was observed in selected regions along the olfactory pathway. Taken together, these data elucidate in part some of the possible mechanisms involved in the ontogenesis of the influenza-induced APR in infected mice.

description: The diversity of Mentzelia section Bartonia (Loasaceae), a monophyletic group that is widely distributed in arid regions of the American West, has presented considerable taxonomic difficulties, including misapplied names, vague descriptions that circumscribe multiple entities, a poor sense of geographic distributions, undescribed diversity, and confusing morphological variation in complexes of species. We take a phylogenetic approach, along with extensive museum and field studies, to reassess the diversity in the section. We applied nrDNA nucleotide sequence data for phylogeny reconstructions that recovered two well-supported clades that included 1) a clade of the Great Plains M. decapetala and its sister, which is restricted to taxa from the intermountain region and included species previously denoted as subshrubby, and 2) a more widespread clade that included taxa from the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts as well as the Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, and intermountain region. Notable results include modern treatments of M. multiflora as highly polyphyletic, and we suggest a narrow circumscription of this taxon to include only populations in the Southern Rocky Mountains. Our results call to attention undescribed diversity, including ten species described here. We summarize all previous studies and phylogenetic results in a monograph. Divergence times of section Bartonia and its relatives were estimated with molecular dating methods. Penalized likelihood analyses suggested an origin of Mentzelia 60 27.5 million years before present (mybp), however, crown ages of the sections were much more recently derived. For example, section Bartonia was estimated to have diverged 11 1.5 mybp. Furthermore, we quantified the influence of substitution models on divergence time estimates with an empirical data set for Cornales that had 16 calibration point constraints in maximum likelihood analyses using 19 different substitution models. Discrepancy in divergence time estimates among corresponding nodes was small in most cases (within 95% confidence intervals); however, we recovered instances of nodes varying as much as 23.7%. We estimated that, on average for all nodes within a tree, divergence times vary 1.0 3.6%. Most discrepancy was associated with long branches, although short branches were also a source of discrepancy. We found no differences in disparity among nodes that were reconstructed in deep- mid- or shallow-level regions of the topologies.

description: We present HST WFPC2 and STIS imaging of the low metallicity galaxy NGC 6822, performed as part of a study of the young stellar populations in the galaxies of the Local Group. Eleven WFPC2 pointings, with some overlap, cover two regions, extending over 19'x19' and 13'x13' respectively, off the galaxy center. One 25x25'' field observed with STIS' FUV- and NUV- MAMA, includes Hodge's OB8 association and the HII region Hubble V. We derive the physical parameters of the stars in the fields and the extinction by comparing the photometry to grids of model magnitudes. The environments studied in this work include one of the most luminous (in Halpha) HII regions in the Local Group (Hubble V) with a compact star cluster, a typical OB association (OB15), the sparse field population and the outskirts of NGC6822. The color-magnitude diagrams show similar ages of few Myrs for both OB8 and OB15. The density [per unit area] of hot massive stars in the core of the OB8 association is higher than in OB15 by a factor of 12, while the total stellar mass formed is similar. In both OB15 and OB8 massive star candidates are found. The average extinction is found to vary among the three environments studied: E(B-V) = 0.22 in the outer regions, E(B-V) = 0.27 in the fields East of the galaxy main bar, and E(B-V) = 0.40 in the HII region Hubble V. A quantitative discussion of the applicability of the reddening-free-index method for photometric determination of stellar parameters is provided for the filters used in this work, based on our grids of stellar models.

description: In earlier work the authors obtained formulas for the probability in the asymmetric simple exclusion process that the $m$th particle from the left is at site $x$ at time $t$. They were expressed in general as sums of multiple integrals and, for the case of step initial condition, as an integral involving a Fredholm determinant. In the present work these results are generalized to the case where the $m$th particle is the left-most one in a contiguous block of $L$ particles. The earlier work depended in a crucial way on two combinatorial identities, and the present work begins with a generalization of these identities to general $L$.

description: In a full QCD lattice study with $N_f = 2$ Wilson fermions, we seek to optimize the signals for the disconnected contributions to the matrix element of flavour-singlet operators between nucleon states, which are indicative for sea quark effects. We demonstrate, in form of a fluctuation analysis to the noisy estimator technique, that -- in order to achieve a tolerable signal to noise-ratio in full QCD -- it is advantageous to work with a $Z_2$-noise source rather than to rely only on gauge invariance to cancel non-gauge-invariant background. In the case of the $π$N $σ$-term, we find that 10 $Z_2$-noise sources suffice on our sample ( about 150 independent QCD configurations at $β= 5.6$ on $16^3\times32$ with $κ_{sea} = 0.157$, equivalent to $M_π/M_ρ = 0.76(1)$), to achieve decent signals and adequate fluctuations, rather than 300 such sources as recently used in quenched simulations.

Subjects: Global warming -- Psychological aspects

description: Because global warming (GW) is caused primarily by human behavior, attempts to reduce GW will benefit from an understanding of the social psychology of GW-related behavior. The present investigation consisted of three studies aimed to provide a psychological understanding of people's perceptions of GW, predictors of GW-related behavioral intention, and reactions to Ecological Footprint Calculators (EFCs). Study 1 investigated GW perceptions among 112 college students. Results showed that participants continue to equate GW with general environmental problems, although participants were more likely to recognize the importance of driving less and recycling more in mitigating GW and less likely to implicate aerosol spray cans in GW than in previous research. Additionally, a model linking GW perceptions to GW-related intention was developed which explained 50% of the variance in GW-related intention. Accurate knowledge of the behaviors that mitigate GW was the strongest predictor of GW-related intention. In Study 2 a comprehensive social psychological model of GW-related intention was created drawing on the Value-Belief-Norm Theory (VBN) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The comprehensive model of GW-related intention, a simplified version of the model, the VBN, and a modified version of the TPB were evaluated using path analysis on data obtained from 461 college students. Overall, results showed that personal norms, self-efficacy, response efficacy, and biospheric values were the strongest predictors of GW-related intention. The modified version of the TPB provided the best fit to the data. Study 3 investigated the effectiveness of EFCs in increasing GW-related intention. Little experimental research has been conducted on EFCs. College student participants (N = 86) were randomly assigned to complete (or not) an EFC, to receive (or not) a Behavior List outlining effective energy conserving actions, and to receive (or not) Efficacy Feedback intended to bolster feelings of efficacy. Results showed that EFCs led to lower beliefs of self-efficacy and higher surprise, but had no effect on GW-related intention even when combined with the Behavior List and/or Efficacy Feedback. Overall the studies provide a much-needed overview of the social psychology of GW-related intention. Implications for policy and suggestions for future research are discussed.

description: In this paper, we discuss the interaction of non-Abelian SU(2) Yang-Mills progressive waves with gravitational waves. We solve and obtain some interesting solutions to pure Yang-Mills equations in different backgrounds, and perturbative solutions induced due to gravitational waves. These perturbations show `beat patterns' and depending on boundary conditions, changes in frequency. In flat space-time, when the Yang-Mills fields and the gravitational waves are in the same direction there is no interaction, unless there is self interaction of the Yang-Mills fields. In the system with non-zero self interaction the amplitudes of the perturbation are inversely proportional to the Yang-Mills coupling constant. In a cosmological background, the Yang-Mills fields and the gravitational wave interact when they are in the same direction even without self interaction of the Yang-Mills progressive fields. We find that in the electroweak symmetry broken phase of the gauge fields, the interactions are perturbative only for an infinitesimal time.

description: Accurate uncertainty measurement is a key step to building robust and reliable machine learning systems. Conformal prediction is a distribution-free uncertainty quantification algorithm popular for its ease of implementation, statistical coverage guarantees, and versatility for underlying forecasters. However, existing conformal prediction algorithms for time series are limited to single-step prediction without considering the temporal dependency. In this paper, we propose a Copula Conformal Prediction algorithm for multivariate, multi-step Time Series forecasting, CopulaCPTS. We prove that CopulaCPTS has finite sample validity guarantee. On several synthetic and real-world multivariate time series datasets, we show that CopulaCPTS produces more calibrated and sharp confidence intervals for multi-step prediction tasks than existing techniques.
Wigner-Weyl-Moyal Formalism on Algebraic Structures

description: We first introduce the Wigner-Weyl-Moyal formalism for a theory whose phase-space is an arbitrary Lie algebra. We also generalize to quantum Lie algebras and to supersymmetric theories. It turns out that the non-commutativity leads to a deformation of the classical phase-space: instead of being a vector space it becomes a manifold, the topology of which is given by the commutator relations. It is shown in fact that the classical phase-space, for a semi-simple Lie algebra, becomes a homogenous symplectic manifold. The symplectic product is also deformed. We finally make some comments on how to generalize to $C^*$-algebras and other operator algebras too.

Understanding 2,4-d resistance in prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola L.) and evaluating chemical fallow systems for the inland PNW
Creators: name: Riar, Dilpreet Singh
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: No-tillage

description: The objectives of this research were to: (1) compare reduced and no-tillage fallow systems with conventional fallow systems; (2) evaluate weed control efficacy of Light-Activated Sensor-Controlled (LASC) sprayer systems compared to conventional broadcast application in chemical fallow; and (3) determine mechanism and inheritance of 2,4-D resistance in prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola L.); and (4) develop EST-SSR's to study genetic diversity among Lactuca accessions. Average soil moisture in 150cm and seed-zone profile during summer fallow was similar for reduced and conventional tillage treatments across locations. Soil moisture content in all tillage treatments was lower at Helix compared to Davenport and a deep-furrow type drill was needed to successfully seed wheat into the soil moisture and obtain an adequate seedling stand. The deep-furrow drill was required to seed wheat could not be used in no-tillage treatments due to greater crop residue and resulted in emergence and yield penalty. The winter wheat yield in undercutter treatments followed by rodweeder or broadcast application of herbicide was similar to conventional tillage treatments but had 7 to 38% greater surface crop residue compared to conventional tillage. The herbicide use by LASC sprayer technology was 45 to 72% less compared to conventional broadcast application system. However, detection of very small weeds by LASC sprayer reduced in dusty and high residue conditions prevalent in sweep undercutter and no-tillage systems, respectively. Under no-tillage system, glyphosate alone and in mixture with 2,4-D or pyrasulfotole plus bromoxynil controlled weeds ([greater than or equal to]95%) similar to conventional broadcast application of glyphosate. Prickly lettuce is an important weed of Pacific Northwest (PNW) and has developed resistance to 2,4-D. Reduced uptake followed by reduced translocation to the crown in resistant prickly lettuce biotypes could be a mechanism or partial mechanism for 2,4-D resistance in prickly lettuce. Inheritance of 2,4-D resistance in prickly lettuce is governed by one major gene and few modifier-genes. A total of 15,970 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified from 57,126 expressed sequence tag (EST) assemblies belonging to five different species of genus Lactuca. Primer pairs were synthesized for 45 prickly lettuce EST-SSRs and were used to group Lactuca accessions based on genetic dissimilarity.

description: We show that new nonperturbative scales exist in four-dimensional ${\cal{N}}$$=$$1$ super-Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle, with an iterated-exponential dependence on the inverse gauge coupling. The lightest states with the quantum numbers of four-dimensional glueballs are nonrelativistic bound states of dual Cartan gluons and superpartners, with binding energy equal to $e^{- e^{1/g^2}}$ in units of the confining mass gap. Focusing on $SU(2)$ gauge group, we construct the nonrelativistic effective theory, show that the lightest glueball/glueballino states fill a chiral supermultiplet, and determine their "doubly-nonperturbative" binding energy. The iterated-exponential dependence on the gauge coupling is due to nonperturbative couplings in the long distance theory, $λ\sim e^{-{1 \over g^2}}$, which are responsible for attractive interactions, in turn producing exponentially small, $\sim e^{-{1\over λ}}$, effects.

Location and topology discovery in wireless sensor networks
Creators: name: Mallery, Christopher Jerry
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Sensor networks

description: Although the specifics of sensor network deployment scenarios are entirely application domain specific, it is envisioned that wireless sensor networks are densely deployed over large monitoring areas. The post-deployment discovery of location and topological information in arbitrarily deployed wireless sensor network is critical to the effective use of a wireless sensor network. Fundamental to wireless sensor networks is the problem of developing a low-cost GPS-free localization technique. Therefore, we first present ANIML, a straightforward, iterative, anchor-free, range-aware, relative localization technique for wireless sensor networks. Through simulation, despite using a non-idealized MAC, we show that ANIML provides good relative localization in uniform, C-shaped and non-uniform topologies. However, while knowing the physical positions of every node in the network provides information about the deployed topology of a wireless sensor network, it does not provide a complete view of a network's topology, such as the shape of the network deployment. The boundaries of the network have a physical correspondence to the environment in which the sensors are deployed. Therefore, we next present a robust, distributed technique that addresses the problem of boundary recognition in wireless sensor networks. We show that our boundary recognition technique constructs accurate perimeters (i.e. correctly bounding all nodes) in randomly deployed topologies of varying densities, perturbed grid topologies of varying densities and in sparsely populated/low-density topologies, in addition to highly irregularly shaped connectivity holes and networks. Lastly, we address the problem of edge detection in wireless sensor networks. Edge detection is the idea of reducing data analysis overhead through the geometric identification of sensed phenomena within a sensor network. We adapt our boundary recognition technique to address the more general problem of edge detection in wireless sensor networks. Our edge detection technique keeps inter-group communication to a minimum, while still constructing correct outer perimeters in the presence of anomalous perimeter crossings and phenomena wholly surrounded by other phenomena. We show that our technique constructs accurate perimeters in randomly deployed topologies of varying densities, perturbed grid topologies of varying densities and in sparsely populated/low-density topologies, in addition to highly irregularly shaped phenomena and networks.

The absorption extends over $\sim 60$ km/s and has two distinct components, at $z = 2.347477 (12)$ and $z = 2.347869 (20)$. A similar velocity structure is seen in optical metal lines, although the peak absorption here is offset by $\sim 11$ km/s from the peak in the 21cm line. We obtain a high spin temperature $T_s \sim (886 \pm 248) \times (f/0.58)$ K, using a covering factor estimated from 2.3 GHz VLBI data. However, the current data cannot rule out a low spin temperature. The non-detection of CO 3-2 absorption places the upper limit $N_{CO} < 3.8 \times 10^{15} \times (T_x/10)$ cm$^{-2}$ on the CO column density.

description: My Great-grandpa said, "It wasn't too scary for us as it felt far away. But I remember one time I was in the bedroom with my Mum and Auntie Mary and we heard an airplane go over with a deep sound and someone said "that must be a German bomber" and a minute later we heard a screechy lighter sounding plane, like a Spitfire, go over and we think it must have been chasing it to stop its bombing." "Food was rationed - we had coupons and we couldn't get too much. The war felt far away but we knew about it. Life went on in Ramsbottom. I do remember a bomb drop in Stubbins. Great-great-grandma Rhodes' house was near to where a German bomb fell in Stubbins and they felt unsafe and the houses it landed near were taken down. Grants Tower fell down as there was a rumour that the British Forces used it as gun/target practice I think.""My Grandad brought a German helmet back with a spike on to show us all. What else? My Uncle Dick's ship sank in the British docks. They lost all the equipment and he came home in a vest and shorts."

description: We study the long-time behaviour of the first-moment semigroup of a non conservative piecewise deterministic measure-valued stochastic process with support on R 2 + driven by a deterministic flow between random jump times, with a transition kernel which has a degenerate form. Using a Doob h-transform where the function h is taken as an eigenfunction of the associated generator, we can bring ourselves back to the study of a conservative process whose exponential ergodicity is proven via Harris' Theorem. Particular attention is given to the proof of Doeblin minoration condition. The main difficulty is the degeneracy of one of the two variables, and the deterministic dependency between the two variables, which make it no trivial to uniformly bound the expected value of the trajectories with respect to a non-degenerate measure in a two-dimensional space, which is particularly hard in a non-compact setting. Here, we propose a general method to construct explicit trajectories which explore the space state with positive probability and witch permit to prove a petite-set condition for the compact sets of the state space. An application to an age-structured growthfragmentation process modelling bacterial growth is also shown.

The role of inflammatory markers in cognitive impairment in a multiple sclerosis (MS) population
Creators: name: Howard, Joni Tudor
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Multiple sclerosis -- Psychological aspects

description: There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that increased levels of peripheral inflammation are associated with decreased cognitive ability (Dimopoulos et al 2006; Galimberti et al, 2006; Gilbertini et al; 1995). However, there is a paucity of research in the area of cognitive impairment (CI) and inflammation in a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) population. This study aimed to explore the potential link between peripheral inflammation and cognition within the MS population, with the hypothesis that higher levels of inflammation would be associated with lower cognitive performances, after controlling for depression, fatigue and pre-morbid intellectual functioning. Peripheral inflammation was measured by examining serum blood levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Cognition was measured using the Minimal Assessment of Cognitive Functioning in Multiple Sclerosis (MACFIMS). Correlations and multiple linear regression modeling were used to examine the association between the inflammation variables and cognitive performance. Higher levels of TNF-a significantly predicted lower total verbal recognition discriminability (Beta = - 0.56, p<0.05), after controlling for depression, fatigue, age and pre-morbid intelligence. Interestingly, although higher levels of IL-6 significantly predicted lower verbal memory, this association did not reach significance after controlling for depression, fatigue, age and pre-morbid intelligence (Beta = -0.44, p = 0.057), indicating that depression and fatigue may partially account for the relationship between inflammation and cognition. Overall, the study results supported the proposed link between increased inflammation and decreased cognition in an MS population, and the positive findings underscore the importance of continued research into this area, with potentially significant clinical and treatment implications.

description: The heavy charged gauge bosons were proposed in the theories beyond standard model. We explore the discovery potential for $W'\to t\bar{b}$ with top quark semi-leptonic decay at the LHC. We concentrate on the new physics signal search with the deviation from the standard model prediction if the resonance peak of $W'$ can not be observed directly. The events of signal with two jets plus one charged lepton and missing energy are simulated together with the dominant standard model backgrounds. In this paper, it is found that suitable cuts on the kinematic observables can effectively suppress the standard model backgrounds, so that it is possible to search for $W'$ signal at the LHC with its mass less than 6.6 TeV.

Rainbow saturation for complete graphs

description: We call an edge-colored graph rainbow if all of its edges receive distinct colors. An edge-colored graph $Γ$ is called $H$-rainbow saturated if $Γ$ does not contain a rainbow copy of $H$ and adding an edge of any color to $Γ$ creates a rainbow copy of $H$. The rainbow saturation number $sat(n,{R}(H))$ is the minimum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $H$-rainbow saturated graph. Girão, Lewis, and Popielarz conjectured that $sat(n,{R}(K_r))=2(r-2)n+O(1)$ for fixed $r\geq 3$. Disproving this conjecture, we establish that for every $r\geq 3$, there exists a constant $α_r$ such that $$r + Ω\left(r^{1/3}\right) \le α_r \le r + r^{1/2} \qquad \text{and} \qquad sat(n,{R}(K_r)) = α_r n + O(1).$$ Recently, Behague, Johnston, Letzter, Morrison, and Ogden independently gave a slightly weaker upper bound which was sufficient to disprove the conjecture. They also introduced the weak rainbow saturation number, and asked whether this is equal to the rainbow saturation number of $K_r$, since the standard weak saturation number of complete graphs equals the standard saturation number. Surprisingly, our lower bound separates the rainbow saturation number from the weak rainbow saturation number, answering this question in the negative. The existence of the constant $α_r$ resolves another of their questions in the affirmative for complete graphs. Furthermore, we show that the conjecture of Girão, Lewis, and Popielarz is true if we have an additional assumption that the edge-colored $K_r$-rainbow saturated graph must be rainbow. As an ingredient of the proof, we study graphs which are $K_r$-saturated with respect to the operation of deleting one edge and adding two edges.

description: We consider the Riemann-Hilbert factorization approach to solving the field equations of dimensionally reduced gravity theories. First we prove that functions belonging to a certain class possess a canonical factorization due to properties of the underlying spectral curve. Then we use this result, together with appropriate matricial decompositions, to study the canonical factorization of non-meromorphic monodromy matrices that describe deformations of seed monodromy matrices associated with known solutions. This results in new solutions, with unusual features, to the field equations.

Randomized progressive iterative approximation for B-spline curve and surface fittings

description: For large-scale data fitting, the least-squares progressive iterative approximation is a widely used method in many applied domains because of its intuitive geometric meaning and efficiency. In this work, we present a randomized progressive iterative approximation (RPIA) for the B-spline curve and surface fittings. In each iteration, RPIA locally adjusts the control points according to a random criterion of index selections. The difference for each control point is computed concerning the randomized block coordinate descent method. From geometric and algebraic aspects, the illustrations of RPIA are provided. We prove that RPIA constructs a series of fitting curves (resp., surfaces), whose limit curve (resp., surface) can converge in expectation to the least-squares fitting result of the given data points. Numerical experiments are given to confirm our results and show the benefits of RPIA.
