description: There have been a number of recent findings indicating that unsolved problems, or open goals more generally, influence cognition even when the current task has no relation to the task in which the goal was originally set. It was hypothesized that open goals would influence what information entered the problem-solving process. Three studies were conducted to establish the effect of open goals on the acquisition of problem-relevant information. It was found that problem-relevant information, or hints, presented implicitly in a 2nd task in between attempts at solving problems aided problem solving. This effect cannot be attributed to strategic behavior after participants caught on to the manipulation, as most participants were not aware of the relationship. The implications of this research are discussed, including potential contributions to our understanding of insight, incubation, transfer, and creativity.
Cosmological models with linearly varying deceleration parameter

description: We propose a new law for the deceleration parameter that varies linearly with time and covers Berman's law where it is constant. Our law not only allows one to generalize many exact solutions that were obtained assuming constant deceleration parameter, but also gives a better fit with data (from SNIa, BAO and CMB), particularly concerning the late time behavior of the universe. According to our law only the spatially closed and flat universes are allowed; in both cases the cosmological fluid we obtain exhibits quintom like behavior and the universe ends with a big-rip. This is a result consistent with recent cosmological observations.

description: Does conceptual knowledge about objects influence their perceptual processing? There is some evidence for interactions between semantic and visual knowledge in tasks requiring both long-term memory and lexical access. Here we assessed whether similar perceptual/semantic interactions arise during sequential visual matching, a task that does not require access to semantic information. Matching of two-dimensional or three-dimensional novel objects was facilitated when the objects were associated with arbitrarily assigned distinctive artificial semantic concepts as compared to similar semantic concepts. In contrast to prior demonstrations, this effect was obtained in a task that did not require naming objects, and was not affected by participants rehearsing consonant strings, suggesting a direct influence from semantic associations on visual object recognition.

description: We propose two models of the evolution of a pair of competing populations. Both are lattice based. The first is a compromise between fully spatial models, which do not appear amenable to analytic results, and interacting particle system models, which do not, at present, incorporate all of the competitive strategies that a population might adopt. The second is a simplification of the first, in which competition is only supposed to act within lattice sites and the total population size within each lattice point is a constant. In a special case, this second model is dual to a branching annihilating random walk. For each model, using a comparison with oriented percolation, we show that for certain parameter values, both populations will coexist for all time with positive probability. As a corollary, we deduce survival for all time of branching annihilating random walk for sufficiently large branching rates. We also present a number of conjectures relating to the rôle of space in the survival probabilities for the two populations.

We introduce $q$-polymatroids, the $q$-analogue of polymatroids, and develop their basic properties. We associate a pair of q-polymatroids to a rank-metric codes and show that several invariants and structural properties of the code, such as generalized weights, the property of being MRD or an optimal anticode, and duality, are captured by the associated combinatorial object.

description: Reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints are dominant parts of a RC structure, which plays vital role in load transferring mechanisms among structural members. However, lessons from past earthquakes indicated, common failures beam-column joints. Thus, there is a demand to retrofit beam-column joints using innovative materials. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) having immunity against corrosion, light unit weight and high tensile strength is a primary choice as a strengthening material. This research work numerically investigates use of Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite for retrofitting non-seismically designed RC beam-column joints. Experimental result reported in literature is used for validation analyses using ANSYS nonlinear finite element software program and further parametric studies are performed to investigate variables that influence performance of CFRP composite retrofitted beam column joints under cyclic loading. Finite element analysis (FEA) results indicate increasing number of CFRP layers bonded to joint area resulted in an enhancement in load carrying capacity of the RC beam-column joints. Similarly, increase in number of CFRP layer minimized concrete damage in joint and decreases deflection at failure load. Also, CFRP with 0º fiber orientation relative to RC beam axis exhibited good performance as compared to other fiber orientation and CFRP layer with 0º/0º/0º/0º configuration showed good load capacity improvement.

description: We have recently introduced the notion of a q-quaternion bialgebra and shown its strict link with the SO_q(4)-covariant quantum Euclidean space R_q^4. Adopting the available differential geometric tools on the latter and the quaternion language we have formulated and found solutions of the (anti)selfduality equation [instantons and multi-instantons] of a would-be deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory on this quantum space. The solutions depend on some noncommuting parameters, indicating that the moduli space of a complete theory should be a noncommutative manifold. We summarize these results and add an explicit comparison between the two SO_q(4)-covariant differential calculi on R_q^4 and the two 4-dimensional bicovariant differential calculi on the bi- (resp. Hopf) algebras M_q(2),GL_q(2),SU_q(2), showing that they essentially coincide.

Some Reflections on the Task of Content Determination in the Context of Multi-Document Summarization of Evolving Events

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Despite its importance, the task of summarizing evolving events has received small attention by researchers in the field of multi-document summariztion. In a previous paper (Afantenos et al. 2007) we have presented a methodology for the automatic summarization of documents, emitted by multiple sources, which describe the evolution of an event. At the heart of this methodology lies the identification of similarities and differences between the various documents, in two axes: the synchronic and the diachronic. This is achieved by the introduction of the notion of Synchronic and Diachronic Relations. Those relations connect the messages that are found in the documents, resulting thus in a graph which we call grid. Although the creation of the grid completes the Document Planning phase of a typical NLG architecture, it can be the case that the number of messages contained in a grid is very large, exceeding thus the required compression rate. In this paper we provide some initial thoughts on a probabilistic model which can be applied at the Content Determination stage, and which tries to alleviate this problem.

String Solitons and T-duality

description: We construct for arbitrary dimensions a universal T-duality covariant expression for the Wess-Zumino terms of supersymmetric String Solitons in toroidally compactified string theories with 32 supercharges. The worldvolume fields occurring in the effective action of these String Solitons form either a vector or a tensor multiplet with 16 supercharges. We determine the dimensions of the conjugacy classes under T-duality to which these String Solitons belong. We do this in two steps. First, we determine the T-duality representations of the $p$-forms of maximal supergravities that contain the potentials that couple to these String Solitons. We find that these are p-forms, with D-4\le p\le 6 if D \ge 6 and with D-4\le p\le D if D < 6, transforming in the antisymmetric representation of rank m=p+4-D\le 4 of the T-duality symmetry SO(10-D,10-D). All branes support vector multiplets except when m=10-D. In that case the T-duality representation splits, for D<10, into a selfdual and anti-selfdual part, corresponding to 5-branes supporting either a vector or a tensor multiplet. In a second step we show that only certain well-defined lightlike directions in the anti-symmetric tensor representations of the T-duality group correspond to supersymmetric String Solitons. These lightlike directions define the conjugacy classes. As a by-product we show how by a straightforward procedure all solitonic fields of maximal supergravity are derived using the Kac-Moody algebra E(11).

description: We present seeing-limited narrow-band mid-IR GTC/CanariCam images of the spatially extended fullerene-containing planetary nebula (PN) IC 418. The narrow-band images cover the C60 fullerene band at 17.4 μm, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon like (PAH-like) feature at 11.3 μm, the broad 9-13 μm feature, and their adjacent continua at 9.8 and 20.5 μm. We study the relative spatial distribution of these complex species, all detected in the Spitzer and Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) spectra of IC 418, with the aim of getting observational constraints to the formation process of fullerenes in H-rich circumstellar environments. A similar ring-like extended structure is seen in all narrow-band filters, except in the dust continuum emission at 9.8 μm, which peaks closer to the central star. The continuum-subtracted images display a clear ring-like extended structure for the carrier of the broad 9-13 μm emission, while the spatial distribution of the (PAH-like) 11.3 μm emission is not so well defined. Interestingly, a residual C60 17.4 μm emission (at about 4-σ from the sky background) is seen when subtracting the dust continuum emission at 20.5 μm. This residual C60 emission, if real, might have several interpretations; the most exciting being perhaps that other fullerene-based species like hydrogenated fullerenes with very low H-content may contribute to the observed 17.4 μm emission. We conclude that higher sensitivity mid-IR images and spatially resolved spectroscopic observations (especially in the Q-band) are necessary to get some clues about fullerene formation in PNe.

description: This paper develops the argument that goal disengagement forms an essential aspect of effective self-regulation. The argument derives from a consideration of processes inherent in the life-span development of the individual, as well as processes inherent in the moment-to-moment regulation of action. Evidence is reviewed to support the idea that goal disengagement can be beneficial to psychological well-being. In addition, the article addresses the nature of disengagement. It is argued that disengagement requires a person to withdraw not only effort but also commitment from unattainable goals, and is most adaptive if it leads to pursuing new meaningful goals. The paper also discusses the manner in which various aspects of the self might support or hinder the disengagement process. The paper closes by addressing the break point between goal engagement and disengagement and suggesting several directions for future research.

Anisotropic power-law inflation for a conformal-violating Maxwell model

description: A set of power-law solutions of a conformal-violating Maxwell model with a non-standard scalar-vector coupling will be shown in this paper. In particular, we are interested in a coupling term of the form $X^{2n} F^{μν}F_{μν}$ with $X$ denoting the kinetic term of the scalar field. Stability analysis indicates that the new set of anisotropic power-law solutions is unstable during the inflationary phase. The result is consistent with the cosmic no-hair conjecture. We show, however, that a set of stable slowly expanding solutions does exist for a small range of parameters $λ$ and $n$. Hence a small anisotropy can survive during the slowly expanding phase.

description: Agency and communion are broad dimensions of personality that reflect a focus on the self and a focus on others, respectively. In this article, we distinguish unmitigated agency, a focus on the self to the exclusion of others, flom agency, and we distinguish unmitigated communion, a focus on others to the exclusion of self, from communion. We argue that it is unmitigated agency and unmitigated communion that are linked to domains of problem behavior, in particular relationship difficulties and poor health behavior. Unmitigated agency and unmitigated communion are associated with a lack of support from others, a reluctance to ask others for help, and a range of poor health behaviors. The reasons for these links differ. The links to problem behavior for unmitigated communion individuals stem from their tendency to subjugate their own needs to the needs of others and their dependence on others for esteem. The links to problem behavior for unmitigated agency individuals stem from their unwillingness to attend to relationships and their negative view of others.

description: Neuropsychological studies of patients with acquired semantic impairments have yielded two distinct and contrasting patterns of performance in a spoken-word/picture-matching task (Warrington & Cipolotti, 1996). Patients labeled access/refractory are strongly influenced by presentation rate, semantic relatedness of distractors, and repetition, yet they seem relatively unaffected by lexical frequency. Degraded-store patients, on the other hand, are strongly affected by lexical frequency but are less affected by presentation rate, semantic relatedness, or repetition. Our account of these patterns of performance is based on the distinction between two different types of neurological damage: (1) damage to neuromodulatory systems that function to amplify neural signals while suppressing normal refractory-like effects and (2) damage to connections between groups of neurons that encode semantic information and are sensitive to frequency/familiarity. We present a connectionist model that learns to map spoken-word input to semantic representations and that incorporates a particular form of neural refractoriness referred to as synaptic depression, as well as a simple form of neuromodulation. We show that the model is capable of accounting for the contrasting patterns of semantic impairment under these two different forms of damage and, furthermore, demonstrate how it is capable of handling several documented cases that are exceptions to the basic patterns of impairment. Several predictions and limitations of the present model are discussed.

b decays: a factory for hidden charm multiquark states

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We assume that the two hidden charm pentaquark discovered at $LHCb$ are built by the three light quarks and the $c \bar{c}$ pair, both colour octets. in relative P-wave for the $\frac{5}{2}^+$ state and by the eigenvectors of the chromomagnetic interaction for the five constituents in S-wave for the four $\frac{3}{2}^-$ state with masses $4360$, $4410$, $4490$ and $4560$ MeV . The "open channel" $p $ $J/ψ$ has large components along the two first states and so appear as the $4380$ resonance and the $Λ_c$ $ \bar{D}^{0*}$ and $Σ_c$ $\bar{D}^*$ are "open channels" for the lower and higher resonances, respectively. The expectation for their strange isoscalar partners is to have a mass larger by an amount of the order or smaller than the $M_Λ - M_N$ mass difference. We account for the small width of the $\frac{5}{2}^+$, since its decay needs the exchangeof a gluon and stress that the decays of particles with "beauty" provide the best experimental framework for the discovery of hidden charm multiquarks. The relevance of the production mechanics shows the reason why only some of the states with non minimal number of constituents have been found.

description: Many distinct classes of high-energy variability have been observed in astrophysical sources, on a range of timescales. The widest range (spanning microseconds-decades) is found in accreting, stellar-mass compact objects, including neutron stars and black holes. Neutron stars are of particular observational interest, as they exhibit surface effects giving rise to phenomena (thermonuclear bursts and pulsations) not seen in black holes. Here we briefly review the present understanding of thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts. These events are powered by an extensive chain of nuclear reactions, which are in many cases unique to these environments. Thermonuclear bursts have been exploited over the last few years as an avenue to measure the neutron star mass and radius, although the contribution of systematic errors to these measurements remains contentious. We describe recent efforts to better match burst models to observations, with a view to resolving some of the astrophysical uncertainties related to these events. These efforts have good prospects for providing complementary information to nuclear experiments.

The later Spitzer IRS data show that the line emission and free-free continuum emission reported earlier is declining, revealing incontrovertible evidence for the presence of silicate emission features at 9.7 and 18microns. We conclude that the silicate dust survives the hard radiation impulse and shock blast wave from the eruption. The existence of the extant dust may have significant implications for understanding the propagation of shocks through the red giant wind and likely wind geometry.

The first approach is to deploy full-duplexes for both users and relays to make their simultaneous signal transmission and reception possible. In the second approach the users use a fraction of a time slot to send their information to the relays and the relays use the remaining complementary fraction of the time slot to send the beamformed signals to the users. The inherent loop self-interference in the duplexes and inter-full-duplexing-user interference in the first approach are absent in the second approach. Under both these approaches, the joint users' power allocation and relays' beamformers to either optimize the users' exchange of information or maximize the energy-efficiency subject to user quality-of-service (QoS) in terms of the exchanging information throughput thresholds lead to complex nonconvex optimization problems. Path-following algorithms are developed for their computational solutions. The provided numerical examples show the advantages of the second approach over the first approach.

title: Extending the Kubernetes scheduler for network resource awareness
Creators: name: Kosiewski, Thomas
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED

description: Kubernetes (K8s) has emerged as the de facto standard for distributed container workload orchestration in cloud and on-premises environments. Due to its open-source nature, strong separation of duty, and well-defined interfaces, Kubernetes creates abstraction layers between cluster operators, compute & storage providers, networking providers, and workload authors. Developers can deploy their applications without needing thorough experience in the abovementioned fields to deploy and scale their applications. Instead, they can collaborate by utilizing existing resources and configurations and have their workloads run and distributed according to the specifications in the workload definitions.

In the current Kubernetes environment, scheduling decisions are based on CPU and memory requirements, neglecting other crucial resources such as network bandwidth. As the adoption of networking-intensive applications and workloads progresses, the need for network-aware scheduling becomes more pressing, as issues such as network congestion and overall system stability can degrade over time.

This thesis aims to improve the scheduler and ecosystem by incorporating plug-andplay extensions to the current scheduler and proposing a new scheduler that utilizes a different scheduling approach and incorporates algorithms from resource constraint project scheduling to find optimizations for the Kubernetes scheduling problems.

Experiments indicate that our solution outperforms the existing Kubernetes scheduler in solution quality and correctness, performing qualitatively higher resource distribution and guarantees. By deploying representative samples of network-demanding workloads in simulations, the extended scheduler ensured resource requirements for pods, while the default Kubernetes scheduler failed to do so. This improvement introduces a negligible computing cost to the scheduler. In addition, it avoids network congestion, idle cpu time, and overall higher resource usage on the machines, increasing network throughput and reducing application lags, avoiding slowdowns of two to three times the necessary time if networking resources were met.

description: This study examined the role of personality in the reporting of symptoms and illness not supported by underlying pathology. After assessmentof the Big Five personality factors, 276 healthy volunteers were inoculated with a common cold virus. On each of the following 5 days, objective indicators of pathology, self-reported symptoms, and self-reported illness onset were assessed.Neuroticism was directly associ- ated with reports of unfounded (without a physiological basis) symptoms in individuals at baseline and postinoculation in those with and without colds. Neuroticism was also indirectly associated with reports of unfounded illness through reports of more symptoms. Openness to Experience was associated with reporting unfounded symptoms in those with verifiable colds, whereas Conscientiousness was associated with reporting unfounded illness in those who were not ill.

description: The causal structure of a strongly causal spacetime is particularly well endowed. Not only does it determine the conformal spacetime geometry when the spacetime dimension n >2, as shown by Malament and Hawking-King-McCarthy (MHKM), but also the manifold dimension. The MHKM result, however, applies more generally to spacetimes satisfying the weaker causality condition of future and past distinguishability (FPD), and it is an important question whether the causal structure of such spacetimes can determine the manifold dimension. In this work we show that the answer to this question is in the affirmative. We investigate the properties of future or past distinguishing spacetimes and show that their causal structures determine the manifold dimension. This gives a non-trivial generalisation of the MHKM theorem and suggests that there is a causal topology for FPD spacetimes which encodes manifold dimension and which is strictly finer than the Alexandrov topology. We show that such a causal topology does exist. We construct it using a convergence criterion based on sequences of "chain-intervals" which are the causal analogs of null geodesic segments. We show that when the region of strong causality violation satisfies a local achronality condition, this topology is equivalent to the manifold topology in an FPD spacetime.

description: We present X-ray spectral and timing behavior of Cyg X-3 as observed by AstroSat during the onset of a giant radio flare on 01-02 April 2017. Within a time-scale of few hours, the source shows a transition from the hypersoft state (HPS) to a more luminous state (we termed as the very high state) which coincides with the time of the steep rise in radio flux density by an order of magnitude. Modeling the SXT and LAXPC spectra jointly in 0.5-70.0 keV, we found that the first few hours of the observation is dominated by the HPS with no significant counts above 17 keV. Later, an additional flat powerlaw component suddenly appeared in the spectra which extends to very high energies with the powerlaw photon index of 1.49 +/- 0.04. Such a flat powerlaw component has never been reported from Cyg X-3. Interestingly the fitted powerlaw model in 25-70 keV, when extrapolated to the radio frequency, predicts the radio flux density consistent with the trend measured from RATAN-600 telescope at 11.2 GHz. This provides a direct evidence of the synchrotron origin of flat X-ray powerlaw component and the most extensive monitoring of the broadband X-ray behavior at the moment of decoupling the giant radio jet base from the compact object in Cyg X-3. Using SXT and LAXPC observations, we determine the giant flare ejection time as MJD 57845.34 +/- 0.08 when 11.2 GHz radio flux density increases from ~100 to ~478 mJy.

description: La producción de setas en sistemas agroforestales (SAF) puede ser importante y aportar beneficios económicos considerables en el marco de un aprovechamiento sostenible al agricultor. Los hongos saprófitos y los ectomicorrícicos se encuentran entre los más importantes desde un punto de vista económico. Los hongos saprófitos naturales (Macrolepiota procera, Agaricus spp., etc.) pueden tener importancia por ejemplo en los barbechos de los cultivos en callejones o en determinados sistemas silvopastorales (praderas recién repobladas). Si bien es cierto que estas setas no tienen una gran importancia comercial. En los bosques de ribera y en setos se producen en primavera colmenillas (Morchella spp.) que si se comercializan con precios elevados. También es posible cultivar hongos saprófitos en los SAF, como un complemento productivo en los sistemas forestales.

description: We investigate the structure of protoneutron stars (PNS) formed by hadronic and quark matter in $β$-equilibrium described by appropriate equations of state (EOS). For the hadronic matter, we use a finite temperature EOS based on the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone many-body theory, with realistic two- and three-body forces. For the quark sector, we employ the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We find that the maximum allowed masses are comprised in a narrow range around 1.8 solar masses, with a slight dependence on the temperature. Metastable hybrid protoneutron stars are not found.

description: Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) allows multiple users to simultaneously access the same time-frequency resource by using superposition coding and successive interference cancellation (SIC). Thus far, most papers on NOMA have focused on performance gain for one or sometimes two base stations. In this paper, we study multi-cell NOMA and provide a general framework for user clustering and power allocation, taking into account inter-cell interference, for optimizing resource allocation of NOMA in multi-cell networks of arbitrary topology. We provide a series of theoretical analysis, to algorithmically enable optimization approaches. The resulting algorithmic notion is very general. Namely, we prove that for any performance metric that monotonically increases in the cells' resource consumption, we have convergence guarantee for global optimum. We apply the framework with its algorithmic concept to a multi-cell scenario to demonstrate the gain of NOMA in achieving significantly higher efficiency.

description: A caveat is warranted here. While our title is provocative, our ambitions are much more prosaic. Obviously the debate on the ontological status of the phoneme has a long and complicated history. We offer neither a summary of this debate nor a last word on the question. We seek only to question the role of the phoneme in the perception of speech and, in doing so, we hope to demonstrate that the empirical evidence for the causal role of the phoneme in perception is limited.

description: The Generalised Baker--Schmidt Problem (1970) concerns the $f$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the set of $ψ$-approximable points on a nondegenerate manifold. There are two variants of this problem, concerning simultaneous and dual approximation. Beresnevich--Dickinson--Velani (in 2006, for the homogeneous setting) and Badziahin--Beresnevich--Velani (in 2013, for the inhomogeneous setting) proved the divergence part of this problem for dual approximation on arbitrary nondegenerate manifolds. The corresponding convergence counterpart represents a major challenging open question and the progress thus far has only been attained over planar curves. In this paper, we settle this problem for hypersurfaces in a more general setting, i.e. for inhomogeneous approximations and with a non-monotonic multivariable approximating function.
