description: We propose the supervised hierarchical Dirichlet process (sHDP), a nonparametric generative model for the joint distribution of a group of observations and a response variable directly associated with that whole group. We compare the sHDP with another leading method for regression on grouped data, the supervised latent Dirichlet allocation (sLDA) model. We evaluate our method on two real-world classification problems and two real-world regression problems. Bayesian nonparametric regression models based on the Dirichlet process, such as the Dirichlet process-generalised linear models (DP-GLM) have previously been explored; these models allow flexibility in modelling nonlinear relationships. However, until now, Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) mixtures have not seen significant use in supervised problems with grouped data since a straightforward application of the HDP on the grouped data results in learnt clusters that are not predictive of the responses. The sHDP solves this problem by allowing for clusters to be learnt jointly from the group structure and from the label assigned to each group.

description: The SYNoptic Ocean Prediction (SYNOP) experiment had the goal of providing a physical understanding of energetic mesoscale eddy processes in the Gulf Stream. In the SYNOP Inlet Array off Cape Hatteras and in the Central Array near 68°W moored observations were collected from October 1987 through August 1990. The Inlet Array measured the surface path and bottom currents where the Gulf Stream leaves the continental margin to enter the deep water regime. The cross-stream slope of the thermocline steepened linearly with path curvature, consistent with gradient wind balance. Structures are illustrated in the mapped fields consistent with baroclinic instability wherein troughs steepen and rings form.

description: The SYNoptic Ocean Prediction (SYNOP) experiment was designed to provide an accurate understanding of the energetic mesoscale processes in the Gulf Stream. The Central Array measured velocity and temperature throughout the water column, with horizontal extent large enough nearly to span the meander envelope and Eulerian mean structure of the jet at 68°W. Two extended case studies of meander propagation through the array demonstrate the development and intensification of deep cyclonic and anticyclonic flows beneath the Gulf Stream.

description: We have derived oxygen abundances for 8 galaxies from the Survey of HI in Extremely Low-mass Dwarfs (SHIELD). The SHIELD survey is an ongoing study of very low-mass galaxies, with M$_{\rm HI}$ between 10$^{6.5}$ and 10$^{7.5}$ M$_{\odot}$, that were detected by the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey. H$α$ images from the WIYN 3.5m telescope show that these 8 SHIELD galaxies each possess one or two active star-forming regions which were targeted with long-slit spectral observations using the Mayall 4m telescope at KPNO. We obtained a direct measurement of the electron temperature by detection of the weak [O III] $λ$4363 line in 2 of the HII regions. Oxygen abundances for the other HII regions were estimated using a strong-line method. When the SHIELD galaxies are plotted on a B-band luminosity-metallicity diagram they appear to suggest a slightly shallower slope to the relationship than normally seen. However, that offset is systematically reduced when the near-infrared luminosity is used instead. This indicates a different mass-to-light ratio for the galaxies in this sample and we suggest this may be indicative of differing star-formation histories in the lowest luminosity and surface brightness dwarf irregulars.

description: Atomic oxygen is a main component of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere of the Earth, where it governs photochemistry and energy balance and is a tracer for dynamical motions. However, its concentration is extremely difficult to measure with remote sensing techniques since atomic oxygen has few optically active transitions. Current indirect methods involve photochemical models and the results are not always in agreement, particularly when obtained with different instruments. Here we present direct measurements—independent of photochemical models—of the ground state 3P1 → 3P2 fine-structure transition of atomic oxygen at 4.7448 THz using the German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies (GREAT) on board the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). We find that our measurements of the concentration of atomic oxygen agree well with atmospheric models informed by satellite observations. We suggest that this direct observation method may be more accurate than existing indirect methods that rely on photochemical models.

description: Intersection algorithms are very important in computation of geometrical problems. Algorithms for a line intersection with linear or quadratic surfaces are quite efficient. However, algorithms for a line intersection with other surfaces are more complex and time consuming. In this case the object is usually closed into a simple bounding volume to speed up the cases when the given line cannot intersect the given object. In this paper new formulations of the line-torus intersection problem are given and new specification of the bounding volume for a torus is given as well. The presented approach is based on an idea of a line intersection with an envelope of rotating sphere that forms a torus. Due to this approach new bounding volume can be formulated which is more effective as it enables to detect cases when the line passes the "hole" of a torus, too.

description: A method for solving spectral problems for the Sturm-Liouville equation $(pv^{\prime})^{\prime}-qv+λrv=0$ based on the approximation of the Delsarte transmutation operators combined with the Liouville transformation is presented. The problem of numerical approximation of solutions and of eigendata is reduced to approximation of a pair of functions depending on the coefficients $p$, $q$ and $r$ by a finite linear combination of certain specially constructed functions related to generalized wave polynomials introduced in arXiv:1208.5984, arXiv:1208.6166. The method allows one to compute both lower and higher eigendata with an extreme accuracy. Several necessary results concerning the action of the Liouville transformation on formal powers arising in the method of spectral parameter power series are obtained as well as the transmutation operator for the Sturm-Liouville operator $\frac{1}{r}\left(\frac{d}{dx}p\frac{d}{dx}-q\right)$.

Transport by meridional circulations in solar-type stars

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Transport by meridional flows has significant consequences for stellar evolution, but is difficult to capture in global-scale numerical simulations because of the wide range of timescales involved. Stellar evolution models therefore usually adopt parameterizations for such transport based on idealized laminar or mean-field models. Unfortunately, recent attempts to model this transport in global simulations have produced results that are not consistent with any of these idealized models. In an effort to explain the discrepancies between global simulations and idealized models, we here use three-dimensional local Cartesian simulations of compressible convection to study the efficiency of transport by meridional flows below a convection zone in several parameter regimes of relevance to the Sun and solar-type stars. In these local simulations we are able to establish the correct ordering of dynamical timescales, although the separation of the timescales remains unrealistic. We find that, even though the generation of internal waves by convective overshoot produces a high degree of time dependence in the meridional flow field, the mean flow has the qualitative behavior predicted by laminar, "balanced" models. In particular, we observe a progressive deepening, or "burrowing", of the mean circulation if the local Eddington-Sweet timescale is shorter than the viscous diffusion timescale. Such burrowing is a robust prediction of laminar models in this parameter regime, but has never been observed in any previous numerical simulation. We argue that previous simulations therefore underestimate the transport by meridional flows.

description: An analysis of the structure and transport of the Gulf Stream is undertaken using direct current meter observations from a 13-mooring array deployed near 68°W from June 1988 to August 1990. On the basis of these results and other recent studies the downstream transport increase of the Gulf Stream and the inflow structure to the Gulf Stream are reconsidered. It is concluded that approximately 30 Sv, or over half of the transport increase between Cape Hatteras and 68°W, is fed by inflow from the northern side of the Gulf Stream and that this inflow is concentrated near Cape Hatteras and 68°W, where the Gulf Stream flows steeply across isobaths converging from the north.

description: The accuracy and computational cost of a large eddy simulation are highly dependent on the computational grid. Building optimal grids manually from a priori knowledge is not feasible in most practical use cases; instead, solution-adaptive strategies can provide a robust and cost-efficient method to generate a grid with the desired accuracy. We adapt the grid-adaptation algorithm developed by Toosi and Larsson to a Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Elements Method (DGSEM) and show its potential on fully unstructured grids. The core of the method is the computation of the estimated modeling residual using the polynomial basis functions used in DGSEM, and the averaging of the estimated residual over each element. The final method is assessed in multiple channel flow test cases and for the transonic flow over an airfoil, in both cases making use of mortar interfaces between elements with hanging nodes. The method is found to be robust and reliable, and to provide solutions at up to 50% lower cost at comparable accuracy compared to when using human-generated grids.
Wintertime air-sea interaction processes across the Gulf Stream

Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
Year: 1989

description: Aircraft, buoy and satellite measurements have been used across the Gulf Stream during January 25-30, 1986. During the pre-storm conditions prior to January 25, the spatial structure of the SST field played an important role in generating a shallow atmospheric frontal zone along the Gulf Stream front by causing differential heating of the marine atmospheric boundary layer over the stream versus over the cooler shelf waters. As this front moved shoreward on January 25, the warm, moist, maritime air flowing northwestward behind the front induced moderate ocean-to-atmosphere heat fluxes (~300W m-2 total heat flux measured over the core of the Gulf Stream). The subsequent outbreak of eastward flowing cold, dry, continental air over the ocean on January 27 and 28 generated high total heat fluxes (~1060W m-2 over the core of the Stream), as did a second, somewhat weaker outbreak which followed on January 30 (~680W m-2 over the core of the Stream).

description: The “Slope Sea” is a narrow band of ocean that lies between the Gulf Stream and the continental shelf edge in the Mid‐Atlantic Bight. It is composed primarily of slopewater, and a closed cyclonic gyre circulates within the upper few hundred meters of its western end. A two‐year time series of current measurements in this region has shown that the southwestward flowing shelfbreak currents along the shoreward flank of the gyre are directly related to the position of the Gulf Stream, which is typically some 150 to 300 km seaward of the shelfbreak. The mean monthly shelfbreak currents are strongest, towards the southwest at about 30–40 cm s−1, when the Stream is within 150 km of the shelf edge, whereas those currents are close to zero when the Stream is about 300 km away.

description: Metastasis on lymph nodes (LNs), the most common way of spread for primary tumor cells, is a sign of increased mortality. However, metastatic LNs are time-consuming and challenging to detect even for professional radiologists due to their small sizes, high sparsity, and ambiguity in appearance. It is desired to leverage recent development in deep learning to automatically detect metastatic LNs. Besides a two-stage detection network, we here introduce an additional branch to leverage information about LN stations, an important reference for radiologists during metastatic LN diagnosis, as supplementary information for metastatic LN detection. The branch targets to solve a closely related task on the LN station level, i.e., classifying whether an LN station contains metastatic LN or not, so as to learn representations for LN stations. Considering that a metastatic LN station is expected to significantly affect the nearby ones, a GCN-based structure is adopted by the branch to model the relationship among different LN stations. At the classification stage of metastatic LN detection, the above learned LN station features, as well as the features reflecting the distance between the LN candidate and the LN stations, are integrated with the LN features. We validate our method on a dataset containing 114 intravenous contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) images of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and show that it outperforms several state-of-the-art methods on the mFROC, maxF1, and AUC scores,respectively.

description: We analyze the heat current flowing across interacting quantum dots within the Coulomb blockade regime. Power can be generated by either voltage or temperature biases. In the former case, we find nonlinear contributions to the Peltier effect that are dominated by conventional Joule heating for sufficiently high voltages. In the latter case, the differential thermal conductance shows maxima or minima depending on the energy level position. Furthermore, we discuss departures from the Kelvin-Onsager reciprocity relation beyond linear response.

description: A field test of the performance of the initial design, deep (760 m/2500 ft. ) Sippican aircraft-deployed expendable bathythermograph (AXBT) has been conducted. Thirty-seven AXBT's were deployed beside a research vessel, which was conducting conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) casts to 1000 m. A total of five CTD casts were made. A comparison between AXBT and CTD data showed that the AXBT's provided temperature profiles with accuracies that depended upon the particular formulae chosen for frequency-to-temperature conversion and fall rate.

description: Graphene-silicon Schottky junction (GSJ) which has the potential for large-scale manufacturing and integration can bring new opportunities to Schottky solar cells for photovoltaic (PV) power conversion. However, the essential power conversion limitation for these devices lies in the small open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$), which depends on the Schottky barrier height (SBH). In this study, we introduce an electromechanical method based on the flexoelectric effect to enhance the PV efficiency in GSJ. By atomic force microscope (AFM) tip-based indentation and in situ current measurement, the current-voltage (I-V) responses under flexoelectric strain gradient are obtained. The $V_{oc}$ is observed to increase for up to 20$\%$, leading to an evident improvement of the power conversion efficiency. Our studies suggest that strain gradient may offer unprecedented opportunities for the development of GSJ based flexo-photovoltaic applications.

description: The quantum capacity of a quantum channel is always smaller than the capacity of the channel for private communication. However, both quantities are given by the infinite regularization of respectively the coherent and the private information. Here, we construct a family of channels for which the private and coherent information can remain strictly superadditive for unbounded number of uses. We prove this by showing that the coherent information is strictly larger than the private information of a smaller number of uses of the channel. This implies that even though the quantum capacity is upper bounded by the private capacity, the non-regularized quantities can be interleaved. From an operational point of view, the private capacity can be used for gauging the practical value of quantum channels for secure communication and, consequently, for key distribution. We thus show that in order to evaluate the interest a channel for this task it is necessary to optimize the private information over an unlimited number of uses of the channel.

description: Model inversion (MI) attacks allow to reconstruct average per-class representations of a machine learning (ML) model's training data. It has been shown that in scenarios where each class corresponds to a different individual, such as face classifiers, this represents a severe privacy risk. In this work, we explore a new application for MI: the extraction of speakers' voices from a speaker recognition system. We present an approach to (1) reconstruct audio samples from a trained ML model and (2) extract intermediate voice feature representations which provide valuable insights into the speakers' biometrics. Therefore, we propose an extension of MI attacks which we call sliding model inversion. Our sliding MI extends standard MI by iteratively inverting overlapping chunks of the audio samples and thereby leveraging the sequential properties of audio data for enhanced inversion performance. We show that one can use the inverted audio data to generate spoofed audio samples to impersonate a speaker, and execute voice-protected commands for highly secured systems on their behalf. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first one extending MI attacks to audio data, and our results highlight the security risks resulting from the extraction of the biometric data in that setup.

description: A comparison is made between multi-channel infrared (3.7 and 11 micrometre) temperatures measured by the TIROS-N satellite and aircraft single channel radiometer and AXBT measurements over the Gulf Stream between Cape Hatteras and Savannah, Georgia, on November 27, 1979. After reducing the noise in the 3.7 micrometre TIROS-N data, a multi-channel method is used to estimate the sea surface temperatures. For a temperature band of 19 to 26oC, the estimated and AXBT measurements are in agreement within a standard error estimate of 0.5oC. A bias of 1.2oC was found between the aircraft radiometer and the AXBT measurements, and part of this bias is attributed to radiometer calibration errors.
GULF STREAM MEANDERS OFF NORTH CAROLINA DURING WINTER AND SUMMER 1979.

name: Brooks, D.A.
Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
Year: 1983

description: Meanders produced most of the subtidal variability in the Gulf Stream off North Carolina during 1979. Recording instruments were moored in the lower half of the water column over the 200-m and 400-m isobaths for two periods of 4 months, one in the late winter and one in the late summer. In both seasons, the middepth current speed typically fluctuated between minus 50 cm s** minus **1 and plus 100 cm s** minus **1 about a 30 cm s** minus **1 downstream mean. The velocity, temperature, and salinity fluctuations had a prominent weekly time scale in the winter, caused by the meandering stream. In the summer the weekly time scale was less prominent within a generally energetic 3- to 10-day period band. In both seasons, the meandering currents were nearly in phase vertically, and the meanders propagated downstream at approximationly 40 km d** minus **1. Shallow, in-shore filaments of warm water, separated from the main stream by bands of cooler surface water, are often extruded from the Gulf Stream front during the shoreward-most phase (crest) of meanders.

SUBSURFACE ENERGETICS OF THE GULF STREAM CYCLONIC FRONTAL ZONE OFF ONSLOW BAY, NORTH CAROLINA.
Creators: name: Bane Jr., John M.
name: Hood, Carroll A.
Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
Year: 1983

description: It is shown with the use of 4-month-long time series of velocity, temperature, and conductivity that fluctuating kinetic and potential energy was converted into kinetic and potential energy of the mean flow following a fluid particle in the subsurface Gulf Stream cyclonic frontal zone off Onslow Bay, North Carolina, during early 1979. This result agrees well with earlier measurements made in the surface layer off Onslow Bay. These flux calculations represent an important step in verifying the direction of the net cross-stream energy flux within the stream off Onslow Bay. According to an hypothesis presented for the growth and decay of Gulf Stream meanders along the continental margin of the southeastern United States, Onslow Bay is an area of decreasing meander amplitude. The direction of the energy conversion from meanders to the mean flow, determined from our calculations, is consistent with this hypothesis. Relatively low velocity covariances were found to be associated with relatively small transfers of kinetic energy during a period of low meander activity.

description: Homeopathy as a practical science sui generis - a perspective from the humanities. The charge that the efficacy of homeopathy might not be provable by means of natural science comes to nothing, as homeopathy has been more than an applied natural science ever since. lt is a practical science sui generis whose task, approach, and subject cannot be grasped by natural sciences, but only teleologically and in terms of the humanities. Contrary to conventional medicine which is aligned technologically and structurally money-driven, homeopathy is methodologically oriented towards the wellbeing of the patient, corresponding to the classical ideal of a rational and beneficial art of healing.

INITIAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE SUBSURFACE STRUCTURE AND SHORT-TERM VARIABILITY OF THE SEAWARD DEFLECTION OF THE GULF STREAM OFF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA.
Creators: name: Bane, J.M.
Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
Year: 1983

description: A recurring seaward deflection of the surface layer of the Gulf Stream has been observed near 32 degree N latitude off the coast of the southeastern United States. It is suggested that ridge and trough bottom feature (the so-called 'Charleston bump') on the upper continental slope off the Georgia/South Carolina coast produces the deflection through a bottom steering effect. Present data indicate that the deflection is great enough to direct the Gulf Streams's shoreward surface thermal front to the east, and even south of east, about 70% of the time. Air-deployed expendable bathythermograph surveys have been made with sufficient coverage to provide several synoptic, three-dimensional views of the Gulf Stream's thermal frontal zone in the region between Savannah, Georgia, and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. These views show the subsurface structure of the seaward deflection to exhibit large short-term variability. during wintertime conditions (February 1979) the greatest deflection ( greater than 090 degree true) of the near-surface front occurred at a time when the deeper front was more aligned (approximately 080 degree true) with local topography. 22 refs.

description: The definition of balanced metrics was originally given by Donaldson in the case of a compact polarized Kähler manifold in 2001, who also established the existence of such metrics on any compact projective Kähler manifold with constant scalar curvature. Currently, the only noncompact manifolds on which balanced metrics are known to exist are homogeneous domains. The generalized Cartan-Hartogs domain $\big(\prod_{j=1}^kΩ_j\big)^{\mathbb{B}^{d_0}}(μ)$ is defined as the Hartogs type domain constructed over the product $\prod_{j=1}^kΩ_j$ of irreducible bounded symmetric domains $Ω_j$ $(1\leq j \leq k)$, with the fiber over each point $(z_1,...,z_k)\in \prod_{j=1}^kΩ_j$ being a ball in $\mathbb{C}^{d_0}$ of the radius $\prod_{j=1}^kN_{Ω_j}(z_j,\bar{z_j})^{\frac{μ_j}{2}}$ of the product of positive powers of their generic norms. Any such domain $\big(\prod_{j=1}^kΩ_j\big)^{\mathbb{B}^{d_0}}(μ)$ $(k\geq 2)$ is a bounded nonhomogeneous domain. The purpose of this paper is to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the metric $αg(μ)$ $(α>0)$ on the domain $\big(\prod_{j=1}^kΩ_j\big)^{\mathbb{B}^{d_0}}(μ)$ to be a balanced metric, where $g(μ)$ is its canonical metric. As the main contribution of this paper, we obtain the existence of balanced metrics for a class of such bounded nonhomogeneous domains.

Gulf stream fluctuations and meanders over the Onslow Bay upper continental slope.

Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 1981

description: North North Carolina Univ., U.S.A. The principal fluctuations observed during the 4-month winter experiment are consistent with Webster's description of downstream propagating, skewed, lateral meanders of the Gulf Stream over the upper continental slope, Concurrent satellite images of a sea surface temperature (SST) meander pattern indicate that subsurface temperature, salinity, velocity and relative-vorticity maxima occured as meander crests (shoreward SST-front excursions) passed over the experiment site. The meandering currents were not coherent with nearby wind stress or coastal sea level fluctuations. Eddy-flux estimates indicate energy conversion from the fluctuations to the mean stream.
Coastal-trapped and frontal-trapped waves in a baroclinic Western boundary current.
Creators: name: Bane, J.M.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 1980

description: Four types of stable, subinertial Rossby-like waves have been found to propagate alongshore in a model baroclinic boundary. The two-layer model incorporates a general bottom topography with continental shelf and slope, and a thermal-wind mean current confined to the upper layer. The four wave components are the familiar continental shelf wave, the quasi-geostrophic edge wave and complementary mode edge wave, plus a new frontal-trapped wave, which has wave amplitude maxima within the cyclonic side of the stream. The cases studied show the phase speeds of the various components to be affected by the location of the surface density front, the width of the continental shelf, and whether the inshore boundary is a vertical wall or a sloping beach.

description: Dust grains influence many aspects of star formation, including planet formation, opacities for radiative transfer, chemistry, and the magnetic field via Ohmic, Hall, and ambipolar diffusion. The size distribution of the dust grains is the primary characteristic influencing all these aspects. Grain size increases by coagulation throughout the star formation process. We describe here numerical simulations of protostellar collapse using methods described in earlier papers of this series. We compute the evolution of the grain size distribution from coagulation and the non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics effects self-consistently and at low numerical cost. We find that the coagulation efficiency is mostly affected by the time spent in high-density regions. Starting from sub-micron radii, grain sizes reach more than 100 μm in an inner protoplanetary disk that is only 1000 years old. We also show that the growth of grains significantly affects the resistivities, and indirectly the dynamics and angular momentum of the disk.

Gulf Stream meanders along the Continental Margin from the Florida Straits to Cape Hatteras

description: A rapid increase in the magnitude of Gulf Stream meanders downstream of a seaward deflection of the Stream off Charleston, South Carolina, has been indicated by an analysis of the shoreward surface thermal front of the Stream. The sixty four cases examined show that lateral movements of the Stream from Charleston to Cape Hatteras may be as great as 40 km from the mean, whereas upstream of Charleston the movements are generally less than 15 km in amplitude. This difference points to the importance of the deflection of the Stream by a bottom feature off Charleston in producing Gulf Stream meanders.
Filtering single atoms from Rydberg blockaded mesoscopic ensembles

description: We propose an efficient method to filter out single atoms from trapped ensembles with unknown number of atoms. The method employs stimulated adiabatic passage to reversibly transfer a single atom to the Rydberg state which blocks subsequent Rydberg excitation of all the other atoms within the ensemble. This triggers the excitation of Rydberg blockaded atoms to short lived intermediate states and their subsequent decay to untrapped states. Using an auxiliary microwave field to carefully engineer the dissipation, we obtain a nearly deterministic single-atom source. Our method is applicable to small atomic ensembles in individual microtraps and in lattice arrays.
