description: Self-reference interferometry of optical vortices using a Michelson interferometer is investigated in this paper. It is found that the detection of topological charge (TC) for the optical vortices is constrained by some physical conditions. We present these conditions through the theoretical analyses, numerical simulation and experimental results. For different parameters, the maximal detectable TCs are different, which is helpful for the measurement of TC in the practical application. Within the range allowed by the constrained conditions, we also study the detection of TC using the interference pattern of two-way optical vortex by changing the inclined angle of one mirror of the Michelson interferometer.

description: We consider the Beta polymer, an exactly solvable model of directed polymer on the square lattice, introduced by Barraquand and Corwin. We study the statistical properties of its point to point partition sum. The problem is equivalent to a model of a random walk in a time-dependent (and in general biased) 1D random environment. In this formulation, we study the sample to sample fluctuations of the transition probability distribution function (PDF) of the random walk. Using the Bethe ansatz we obtain exact formulas for the integer moments, and Fredholm determinant formulas for the Laplace transform of the directed polymer partition sum/random walk transition probability. The asymptotic analysis of these formulas at large time $t$ is performed both (i) in a diffusive vicinity, $x \sim t^{1/2}$, of the optimal direction (in space-time) chosen by the random walk, where the fluctuations of the PDF are found to be Gamma distributed; (ii) in the large deviations regime, $x \sim t$, of the random walk, where the fluctuations of the logarithm of the PDF are found to grow with time as $t^{1/3}$ and to be distributed according to the Tracy-Widom GUE distribution. Our exact results complement those of BC for the cumulative distribution function of the random walk in regime (ii), and in regime (i) they unveil a novel fluctuation behavior. We also discuss the crossover regime between (i) and (ii), identified as $x \sim t^{3/4}$. Our results are confronted to extensive numerical simulations of the model.

description: In this work, we present a novel scheduling framework enabling anytime perception for deep neural network (DNN) based 3D object detection pipelines. We focus on computationally expensive region proposal network (RPN) and per-category multi-head detector components, which are common in 3D object detection pipelines, and make them deadline-aware. We propose a scheduling algorithm, which intelligently selects the subset of the components to make effective time and accuracy trade-off on the fly. We minimize accuracy loss of skipping some of the neural network sub-components by projecting previously detected objects onto the current scene through estimations. We apply our approach to a state-of-art 3D object detection network, PointPillars, and evaluate its performance on Jetson Xavier AGX using nuScenes dataset. Compared to the baselines, our approach significantly improve the network's accuracy under various deadline constraints.

description: On embedded processors that are increasingly equipped with multiple CPU cores, static hardware partitioning is an established means of consolidating and isolating workloads onto single chips. This architectural pattern is suitable for mixed-criticality workloads that need to satisfy both, real-time and safety requirements, given suitable hardware properties. In this work, we focus on exploiting contemporary virtualisation mechanisms to achieve freedom from interference respectively isolation between workloads. Possibilities to achieve temporal and spatial isolation-while maintaining real-time capabilities-include statically partitioning resources, avoiding the sharing of devices, and ascertaining zero interventions of superordinate control structures. This eliminates overhead due to hardware partitioning, but implies certain hardware capabilities that are not yet fully implemented in contemporary standard systems. To address such hardware limitations, the customisable and configurable RISC-V instruction set architecture offers the possibility of swift, unrestricted modifications. We present findings on the current RISC-V specification and its implementations that necessitate interventions of superordinate control structures. We identify numerous issues adverse to implementing our goal of achieving zero interventions respectively zero overhead: On the design level, and especially with regards to handling interrupts. Based on micro-benchmark measurements, we discuss the implications of our findings, and argue how they can provide a basis for future extensions and improvements of the RISC-V architecture.

Both the units can work separately or be united together. Such a unique system would replace all possible documents procured by an individual during his life time. Apart from saving human resources, time, money and administrative complexities, the stack of files and papers in offices would also be reduced to fractional level. No Xerox, no documentation, no verification and no long queues for day-to-day pursuits. Just go for one click and the entire details of an individual would be available, that too fully genuine.

General Relativistic Considerations of the Field Shedding Model of Fast Radio Bursts

description: Popular models of fast radio bursts (FRBs) involve the gravitational collapse of neutron star progenitors to black holes. It has been proposed that the shedding of the strong neutron star magnetic field ($B$) during the collapse is the power source for the radio emission. Previously, these models have utilized the simplicity of the Schwarzschild metric which has the restriction that the magnetic flux is magnetic "hair" that must be shed before final collapse. But, neutron stars have angular momentum and charge and a fully relativistic Kerr Newman solution exists in which $B$ has its source inside of the event horizon. In this letter, we consider the magnetic flux to be shed as a consequence of the electric discharge of a metastable collapsed state of a Kerr Newman black hole. It has also been argued that the shedding model will not operate due to pair creation. By considering the pulsar death line, we find that for a neutron star with $B = 10^{11} - 10^{13}$ G and a long rotation period, $>1$ s this is not a concern. We also discuss the observational evidence supporting the plausibility of magnetic flux shedding models of FRBs that are spawned from rapidly rotating progenitors.

description: Background: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is an intensely investigated topic, but its mechanism of action accounts for one of the least understood ones in the area of wound healing. Apart from a misleading nomenclature, by far the most used diagnostic tool to investigate NPWT, the laser Doppler, also has its weaknesses regarding the detection of changes in blood flow and velocity. The aim of the present study is to explain laser Doppler readings within the context of NPWT influence. Methods: The cutaneous microcirculation beneath an NPWT system of 10 healthy volunteers was assessed using two different laser Dopplers (O2C/Rad-97®). This was combined with an in vitro experiment simulating the compressing and displacing forces of NPWT on the arterial and venous system. Results: Using the O2C, a baseline value of 194 and 70 arbitrary units was measured for the flow and relative hemoglobin, respectively. There was an increase in flow to 230 arbitrary units (p = 0.09) when the NPWT device was switched on. No change was seen in the relative hemoglobin (p = 0.77). With the Rad-97®, a baseline of 92.91% and 0.17% was measured for the saturation and perfusion index, respectively. No significant change in saturation was noted during the NPWT treatment phase, but the perfusion index increased to 0.32% (p = 0.04). Applying NPWT compared to the arteriovenous-vessel model resulted in a 28 mm and 10 mm increase in the venous and arterial water column, respectively. Conclusions: We suspect the vacuum-mediated positive pressure of the NPWT results in a differential displacement of the venous and arterial blood column, with stronger displacement of the venous side. This ratio may explain the increased perfusion index of the laser Doppler. Our in vitro setup supports this finding as compressive forces on the bottom of two water columns within a manometer with different resistances results in unequal displacement.

description: The lack of out-of-domain generalization is a critical weakness of deep networks for semantic segmentation. Previous studies relied on the assumption of a static model, i. e., once the training process is complete, model parameters remain fixed at test time. In this work, we challenge this premise with a self-adaptive approach for semantic segmentation that adjusts the inference process to each input sample. Self-adaptation operates on two levels. First, it fine-tunes the parameters of convolutional layers to the input image using consistency regularization. Second, in Batch Normalization layers, self-adaptation interpolates between the training and the reference distribution derived from a single test sample. Despite both techniques being well known in the literature, their combination sets new state-of-the-art accuracy on synthetic-to-real generalization benchmarks. Our empirical study suggests that self-adaptation may complement the established practice of model regularization at training time for improving deep network generalization to out-of-domain data. Our code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/visinf/self-adaptive.

description: Quantitative analysis of discontinuity of basic characteristics of quantum states and channels is presented. First we consider general estimates for discontinuity jump (loss) of the von Neumann entropy for a given converging sequence of states. It is shown, in particular, that for any sequence the loss of entropy is upper bounded by the loss of mean energy (with the coefficient characterizing Hamiltonian of a system). Then we prove that discontinuity jumps of several correlation and entanglement measures in composite quantum systems are upper bounded by loss of one of the marginal entropies (with a corresponding coefficient). We also analyse discontinuity of the output entropy of a quantum operation and of basic information charateristics of a quantum channel with respect to simultaneous variations of an input state and of a channel.

description: Bladder cancer has the highest cost per patient among all cancers due to the high risk of recurrence and the need for life-long routine monitoring as well as therapy. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are hypothesised to be linked to long-term recurrence risk due to its ability to repopulate the entire tumour population in a small number of cells. In addition, CSC as according to the stem cell model, has the property of self-renewal. Thus, only CSC has sufficient time to accumulate adequate genetic mutations that drive the acquisition of resistance against chemo- and radiation-therapy leading to initiation of recurrence. Recently, OTX1 has been shown to be involved in the differentiation of breast CSCs into differentiated cancer cells. The gene is also reported to be involved in other cancers such as subset of B cells in aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas, lung cancer and most recently in bladder cancer. Although the involvement of OTX1 in cancers is demonstrated by limited number of studies, the gene remains to be an interesting candidate for further investigation. We propose that OTX1 may be responsible for the differentiation of CSC and also promote tumour aggressiveness. We plan to establish the expression and localisation patterns of OTX1 gene for Nigerian bladder cancer patients and correlate with clinical characteristics such as stage and grade; risk of recurrence; disease progression and age. To understand the role of OTX1 in bladder cancer stem cells, the gene will be overexpressed/knockdown in non OTX1expressing and OTX1 expressing CSCs, respectively, and the resulting phenotypic effects will be compared.

description: In this paper, we study a theory of gravity called mimetic $f(R, T)$ in the presence of swampland dS conjecture. For this purpose, we introduce several inflation solutions of the Hubble parameter H(N) from $f(R, T)= R+δT$ gravity model, in which R is Ricci scalar, and T denotes the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Also, $δ$ and $N$ are the free parameter and a number of e-fold, respectively. Then we calculate quantities such as potential, Lagrange multiplier, slow-roll, and some cosmological parameters such as $n_{s}$ and $r$. Then we challenge the mentioned inflationary model from the swampland dS conjecture. We discuss the stability of the model and investigate the compatibility or incompatibility of this inflationary scenario with the latest Planck observable data.

description: The growth of Fe nanoclusters on the Ge(001) surface has been studied using lowtemperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. STM results indicate that Fe nucleates on the Ge(001) surface, forming wellordered nanoclusters of uniform size. Depending on the preparation conditions, two types of nanoclusters were observed having either four or sixteen Fe atoms within a nanocluster. The results were confirmed by DFT calculations. Annealing the nanoclusters at 420 K leads to the formation of nanorow structures, due to cluster mobility at such temperature. The Fe nanoclusters and nanorow structures formed on the Ge(001) surface show a superparamagnetic behaviour as measured by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism.

description: Primordial nucleosynthesis is rightly hailed as one of the great successes of the standard cosmological model. Here we consider the initial forging of elements in the recently proposed Rh = ct universe, a cosmology that demands linear evolution of the scale factor. Such a universe cools extremely slowly compared to standard cosmologies, considerably depleting the available neutrons during nucleosynthesis; this has significant implications for the resultant primordial abundances of elements, predicting a minuscule quantity of helium which is profoundly at odds with observations. The production of helium can be enhanced in such a "simmering universe" by boosting the baryon to photon ratio, although more than an order of magnitude increase is required to bring the helium mass fraction into accordance with observations. However, in this scenario, the prolonged period of nucleosynthesis results of the efficient cooking of lighter into heavier elements, impacting the resultant abundances of all elements so that, other than hydrogen and helium, there are virtually no light elements present in the universe. Without the addition of substantial new physics in the early universe, it is difficult to see how the Rh = ct universe can be considered a viable cosmological model.

description: Affect modeling is viewed, traditionally, as the process of mapping measurable affect manifestations from multiple modalities of user input to affect labels. That mapping is usually inferred through end-to-end (manifestation-to-affect) machine learning processes. What if, instead, one trains general, subject-invariant representations that consider affect information and then uses such representations to model affect? In this paper we assume that affect labels form an integral part, and not just the training signal, of an affect representation and we explore how the recent paradigm of contrastive learning can be employed to discover general high-level affect-infused representations for the purpose of modeling affect. We introduce three different supervised contrastive learning approaches for training representations that consider affect information. In this initial study we test the proposed methods for arousal prediction in the RECOLA dataset based on user information from multiple modalities. Results demonstrate the representation capacity of contrastive learning and its efficiency in boosting the accuracy of affect models. Beyond their evidenced higher performance compared to end-to-end arousal classification, the resulting representations are general-purpose and subject-agnostic, as training is guided though general affect information available in any multimodal corpus.

description: In this paper we consider a principal agent problem where the agent is allowed to quit, by incurring a cost. When the current agent quits the job, the principal will hire a new one, possibly with a different type. We characterize the principal's dynamic value function, which could be discontinuous at the boundary, as the (unique) minimal solution of an infinite dimensional system of HJB equations, parametrized by the agent's type. This dynamic problem is time consistent in certain sense.
 Some interesting findings are worth mentioning. First, self-enforcing contracts are typically suboptimal. The principal would rather let the agent quit and hire a new one. Next, the standard contract for a committed agent may also be suboptimal, due to the presence of different types of agents in our model. The principal may prefer no commitment from the agent, then she can hire a cheaper one from the market at a later time by designing the contract to induce the current agent to quit. Moreover, due to the cost incurring to the agent, the principal will see only finitely many quittings.

description: The Kepler Mission has provided unprecedented, nearly continuous photometric data of $\sim$200,000 objects in the $\sim$105 deg$^{2}$ field of view from the beginning of science operations in May of 2009 until the loss of the second reaction wheel in May of 2013. The Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog contains information including but not limited to ephemerides, stellar parameters and analytical approximation fits for every known eclipsing binary system in the Kepler Field of View. Using Target Pixel level data collected from Kepler in conjunction with the Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog, we identify false positives among eclipsing binaries, i.e. targets that are not eclipsing binaries themselves, but are instead contaminated by eclipsing binary sources nearby on the sky and show eclipsing binary signatures in their light curves. We present methods for identifying these false positives and for extracting new light curves for the true source of the observed binary signal. For each source, we extract three separate light curves for each quarter of available data by optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio, the relative percent eclipse depth and the flux eclipse depth. We present 289 new eclipsing binaries in the Kepler Field of View that were not targets for observation, and these have been added to the Catalog. An online version of this Catalog with downloadable content and visualization tools is maintained at http://keplerEBs.villanova.edu.

Synthesis of the Mg-Fe-H system from different Fe sources

Subjects: Mg-Fe-H system, synthesis, Steel, ab-initio calculations, kinetic models

description: The synthesis of the Mg-Fe-H system with different Fe sources is investigated in this
 work. Different characterisation techniques are employed to obtain further insight on the impact of the steels 316L and M300 as Fe source on the system. It is found, that the steels have a positive impact on the kinetic behaviour. Nevertheless, the reached capacity is lower than that of the system synthesised with pure Fe. Theoretical physical models are used to fit to the experimental data. Consequently, the rate limiting step can be identified. Additionally in situ PXD measurements were performed, to investigate the systems during the absorption and desorption processes. This technique allows to get further insight into the phase building and transformation processes. Furthermore, a room temperature absorption could be observed, which is the first time that the formation of MgH2FeH6 is reported to occur under such mild temperature conditions. The results presented in this work show a first approach to employ waste material in the development of hydrogen and heat storage systems to assist in the transition to a more sustainable world.

description: Accurate prediction of protein-ligand binding affinities is an essential challenge in structure-based drug design. Despite recent advances in data-driven methods for affinity prediction, their accuracy is still limited, partially because they only take advantage of static crystal structures while the actual binding affinities are generally determined by the thermodynamic ensembles between proteins and ligands. One effective way to approximate such a thermodynamic ensemble is to use molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Here, an MD dataset containing 3,218 different protein-ligand complexes is curated, and Dynaformer, a graph-based deep learning model is further developed to predict the binding affinities by learning the geometric characteristics of the protein-ligand interactions from the MD trajectories. In silico experiments demonstrated that the model exhibits state-of-the-art scoring and ranking power on the CASF-2016 benchmark dataset, outperforming the methods hitherto reported. Moreover, in a virtual screening on heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) using Dynaformer, 20 candidates are identified and their binding affinities are further experimentally validated. Dynaformer displayed promising results in virtual drug screening, revealing 12 hit compounds (two are in the submicromolar range), including several novel scaffolds. Overall, these results demonstrated that the approach offer a promising avenue for accelerating the early drug discovery process.

A priori error analysis of space-time Trefftz discontinuous Galerkin methods for wave problems

description: We present and analyse a space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for wave propagation problems. The special feature of the scheme is that it is a Trefftz method, namely that trial and test functions are solution of the partial differential equation to be discretised in each element of the (space-time) mesh. The method considered is a modification of the discontinuous Galerkin schemes of Kretzschmar et al., and of Monk and Richter. For Maxwell's equations in one space dimension, we prove stability of the method, quasi-optimality, best approximation estimates for polynomial Trefftz spaces and (fully explicit) error bounds with high order in the meshwidth and in the polynomial degree. The analysis framework also applies to scalar wave problems and Maxwell's equations in higher space dimensions. Some numerical experiments demonstrate the theoretical results proved and the faster convergence compared to the non-Trefftz version of the scheme.

Area preserving isotopies of self transverse immersions of S^1 in R^2

description: Let C and C' be two smooth self transverse immersions of S^1 into R^2. Both C and C' subdivide the plane into a number of disks and one unbounded component. An isotopy of the plane which takes C to C' induces a 1-1 correspondence between the disks of C and C'. An obvious necessary condition for there to exist an area-preserving isotopy of the plane taking C to C' is that there exists an isotopy for which the area of every disk of C equals that of the corresponding disk of C'. In this paper we show that this is also a sufficient condition.

An apocalypse-free first-order low-rank optimization algorithm with at most one rank reduction attempt per iteration

description: We consider the problem of minimizing a differentiable function with locally Lipschitz continuous gradient over the real determinantal variety, and present a first-order algorithm designed to find stationary points of that problem. This algorithm applies steps of a retraction-free descent method proposed by Schneider and Uschmajew (2015), while taking the numerical rank into account to attempt rank reductions. We prove that this algorithm produces a sequence of iterates the accumulation points of which are stationary, and therefore does not follow the so-called apocalypses described by Levin, Kileel, and Boumal (2022). Moreover, the rank reduction mechanism of this algorithm requires at most one rank reduction attempt per iteration, in contrast with the one of the $\mathrm{P}^2\mathrm{GDR}$ algorithm introduced by Olikier, Gallivan, and Absil (2022) which can require a number of rank reduction attempts equal to the rank of the iterate in the worst-case scenario.

description: We describe the discovery of a satellite in orbit about the dwarf planet (136472) Makemake. This satellite, provisionally designated S/2015 (136472) 1, was detected in imaging data collected with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 on UTC April 27, 2015 at 7.80$\pm$0.04 magnitudes fainter than Makemake. It likely evaded detection in previous satellite searches due to a nearly edge-on orbital configuration, placing it deep within the glare of Makemake during a substantial fraction of its orbital period. This configuration would place Makemake and its satellite near a mutual event season. Insufficient orbital motion was detected to make a detailed characterization of its orbital properties, prohibiting a measurement of the system mass with the discovery data alone. Preliminary analysis indicates that if the orbit is circular, its orbital period must be longer than 12.4 days, and must have a semi-major axis $\gtrsim$21,000 km. We find that the properties of Makemake's moon suggest that the majority of the dark material detected in the system by thermal observations may not reside on the surface of Makemake, but may instead be attributable to S/2015 (136472) 1 having a uniform dark surface. This "dark moon hypothesis" can be directly tested with future JWST observations. We discuss the implications of this discovery for the spin state, figure, and thermal properties of Makemake and the apparent ubiquity of trans-Neptunian dwarf planet satellites.
