description: Considering that there is very little information on the behavior habits of guigna cats, as well as investigations in which small populations are captured to place radiocollars on them and then release them in the place where they were captured, which is done with the intention of collecting data on their positions in a territory and thus make estimates of the mean distances they usually travel. Under the hypothesis that guignas maintain a sedentary behavior in a specific area of a given territory, this paper shows one way to simulate a distribution of points in a territory using random walkers to emulate the distribution of the data that would be obtained by placing radiocollars in a population of guignas, with which it is possible to make estimates of the mean distances that move away from a certain fixed position, and the interactions they can have with points in the territory that represent a high probability of lethality, such as farms, packs of dogs, roads, urban areas, etc. It is necessary to mention that by estimating the possible interactions that a guignas population may have with possible predators in a territory with the help of a satellite image, it is possible to evaluate the points of a territory that represent a potentially lethal risk for the guignas, and thus generate relocation strategies that help preserve them.

description: Quantum machine learning has emerged as a promising utilization of near-term quantum computation devices. However, algorithmic classes such as variational quantum algorithms have been shown to suffer from barren plateaus due to vanishing gradients in their parameters spaces. We present an approach to quantum algorithm optimization that is based on trainable Fourier coefficients of Hamiltonian system parameters. Our ansatz is exclusive to the extension of discrete quantum variational algorithms to analog quantum optimal control schemes and is non-local in time. We demonstrate the viability of our ansatz on the objectives of compiling the quantum Fourier transform and preparing ground states of random problem Hamiltonians. In comparison to the temporally local discretization ansätze in quantum optimal control and parameterized circuits, our ansatz exhibits faster and more consistent convergence. We uniformly sample objective gradients across the parameter space and find that in our ansatz the variance decays at a non-exponential rate with the number of qubits, while it decays at an exponential rate in the temporally local benchmark ansatz. This indicates the mitigation of barren plateaus in our ansatz. We propose our ansatz as a viable candidate for near-term quantum machine learning.

description: Weighted KLRW algebras are diagram algebras generalizing KLR algebras. This paper undertakes a systematic study of these algebras culminating in the construction of homogeneous affine cellular bases in affine types A and C, which immediately gives cellular bases for the cyclotomic quotients of these algebras. In addition, we construct subdivision homomorphisms that relate weighted KLRW algebras for different quivers. As an application we obtain new results about the (cyclotomic) KLR algebras of affine type, including (re)proving that the cyclotomic KLR algebras of type A^{(1)}_{e} and C^{(1)}_{e} are graded cellular algebras.

description: We describe a new method for constraining Laplacian spectra of hyperbolic surfaces and 2-orbifolds. The main ingredient is consistency of the spectral decomposition of integrals of products of four automorphic forms. Using a combination of representation theory of $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ and semi-definite programming, the method yields rigorous upper bounds on the Laplacian spectral gap. In several examples, the bound is nearly sharp. For instance, our bound on all genus-2 surfaces is $λ_1\leq 3.8388976481$, while the Bolza surface has $λ_1\approx 3.838887258$. The bounds also allow us to determine the set of spectral gaps attained by all hyperbolic 2-orbifolds. Our methods can be generalized to higher-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds and to yield stronger bounds in the two-dimensional case. The ideas were closely inspired by modern conformal bootstrap.

description: Language difference among speakers of African American English (AAE) has often been considered language deficit, based on a lack of understanding about the AAE variety. Following Labov (1972), Wolfram (1969), Rickford (1999), Green (2002, 2011), and others, we define AAE as a complex rule-governed linguistic system and briefly discuss language structures that it shares with general American English (GAE) and others that are unique to AAE. We suggest ways in which mistaken ideas about the language variety add to children’s difficulties in learning the mainstream dialect and, in effect, deny them the benefits of their educational programs. We propose that a linguistically informed approach that highlights correspondences between AAE and the mainstream dialect and trains students and teachers to understand language varieties at a metalinguistic level creates environments that support the academic achievement of AAE-speaking students. Finally, we present 3 program types that are recommended for helping students achieve the skills they need to be successful in multiple linguistic environments.

description: In order to understand player immersion in video games, this study identifies key characteristics within video games that directly influence the experience of immersion. A new scale based upon these 10 characteristics – Comprehension, Intuitive Controls and Systems, Engaging and Rewarding Gameplay, Emotional Engagement, Multiple Channels of Complete Sensory Information, Cognitively Demanding Environments, Believability of Objects in the Game World, Realistic and Dynamic Environments An Unbroken Presentation of the Game World, and Character Perspective Interfaces – was developed. To evaluate the scale, 164 participants were recruited to play a variety of video games. After a principle components analysis was conducted, it was found that all the items on the scale loaded strongly onto a single component. The items that loaded heaviest were items directly related to one’s experience playing the game – was the game enjoyable, was the game’s story, world, and characters interesting, and did the game capture their senses. Overall, the findings suggest that if players do not enjoy the game they will not become immersed. Additionally, the characteristics were then reduced and revised to only contain 8 characteristics - Comprehension, Intuitive Controls and Systems, Engaging and Rewarding Gameplay, Emotional Engagement, Multiple Channels of Sensory Information, Cognitively Demanding Environments, Believability of Objects and Enviornment in the Game World, and Character Perspective Interfaces.

description: For a long time, malware classification and analysis have been an arms-race between antivirus systems and malware authors. Though static analysis is vulnerable to evasion techniques, it is still popular as the first line of defense in antivirus systems. But most of the static analyzers failed to gain the trust of practitioners due to their black-box nature. We propose MAlign, a novel static malware family classification approach inspired by genome sequence alignment that can not only classify malware families but can also provide explanations for its decision. MAlign encodes raw bytes using nucleotides and adopts genome sequence alignment approaches to create a signature of a malware family based on the conserved code segments in that family, without any human labor or expertise. We evaluate MAlign on two malware datasets, and it outperforms other state-of-the-art machine learning based malware classifiers (by 4.49% - 0.07%), especially on small datasets (by 19.48% - 1.2%). Furthermore, we explain the generated signatures by MAlign on different malware families illustrating the kinds of insights it can provide to analysts, and show its efficacy as an analysis tool. Additionally, we evaluate its theoretical and empirical robustness against some common attacks. In this paper, we approach static malware analysis from a unique perspective, aiming to strike a delicate balance among performance, interpretability, and robustness.

description: Machine learning has recently emerged as a promising approach for studying complex phenomena characterized by rich datasets. In particular, data-centric approaches lend to the possibility of automatically discovering structures in experimental datasets that manual inspection may miss. Here, we introduce an interpretable unsupervised-supervised hybrid machine learning approach, the hybrid-correlation convolutional neural network (Hybrid-CCNN), and apply it to experimental data generated using a programmable quantum simulator based on Rydberg atom arrays. Specifically, we apply Hybrid-CCNN to analyze new quantum phases on square lattices with programmable interactions. The initial unsupervised dimensionality reduction and clustering stage first reveals five distinct quantum phase regions. In a second supervised stage, we refine these phase boundaries and characterize each phase by training fully interpretable CCNNs and extracting the relevant correlations for each phase. The characteristic spatial weightings and snippets of correlations specifically recognized in each phase capture quantum fluctuations in the striated phase and identify two previously undetected phases, the rhombic and boundary-ordered phases. These observations demonstrate that a combination of programmable quantum simulators with machine learning can be used as a powerful tool for detailed exploration of correlated quantum states of matter.

Tight bound for independent domination of cubic graphs without $4$-cycles

description: Given a graph $G$, a dominating set of $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that each vertex not in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$. The domination number of $G$, denoted $γ(G)$, is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$. The independent domination number of $G$, denoted $i(G)$, is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$ that is also independent.
 Recently, Abrishami and Henning proved that if $G$ is a cubic graph with girth at least $6$, then $i(G) \le \frac{4}{11}|V(G)|$. We show a result that not only improves upon the upper bound of the aforementioned result, but also applies to a larger class of graphs, and is also tight. Namely, we prove that if $G$ is a cubic graph without $4$-cycles, then $i(G) \le \frac{5}{14}|V(G)|$, which is tight. Our result also implies that every cubic graph $G$ without $4$-cycles satisfies $\frac{i(G)}{γ(G)} \le \frac{5}{4}$, which partially answers a question by O and West in the affirmative.

description: Quantum cascade lasers are proving to be instrumental in the development of compact frequency comb sources at mid-infrared and terahertz frequencies. Here we demonstrate a heterogeneous terahertz quantum cascade laser with two active regions spaced exactly by one octave. Both active regions are based on a four-quantum well laser design and they emit a combined 3~mW peak power at 15~K in pulsed mode. The two central frequencies are 2.3~THz (bandwidth 300~GHz) and 4.6~THz (bandwidth 270~GHz). The structure is engineered in a way that allows simultaneous operation of the two active regions in the comb regime, serving as a double comb source as well as a test bench structure for all waveguide internal self-referencing techniques. Narrow RF beatnotes ($\sim$ 15~kHz) are recorded showing the simultaneous operation of the two combs, whose free-running coherence properties are investigated by means of beatnote spectroscopy performed both with an external detector and via self-mixing. Comb operation in a highly dispersive region (4.6~THz) relying only on gain bandwidth engineering shows the potential for broad spectral coverage with compact comb sources.

description: We predict the existence of Griffith phase in the dielectrics with concentrational crossover between dipole glass (electric analog of spin glass) and ferroelectricity. The peculiar representatives of above substances are $KTaO_3:Li$, $Nb$, $Na$ or relaxor ferroelectrics like $Pb_{1-x}La_xZr_{0.65}Ti_{0.35}O_3$. Since this phase exists above ferroelectric phase transition temperature (but below that temperature for ordered substance), we call it "para-glass phase". We assert that the difference between paraelectric and para-glass phase of above substances is the existence of clusters (inherent to "ordinary" Griffiths phase in Ising magnets) of correlated dipoles. We show that randomness play a decisive role in Griffiths (para-glass) phase formation; this phase does not exist in a mean field approximation.

description: Optogenetics is a powerful research approach that allows localized optical modulation of selected cells within an animal via the expression of genetically encoded photo-excitable ion channels. Commonly used optogenetic techniques rely on the expression of microbial opsin variants, which have many excellent features but suffer from various degrees of blue spectral overlap and limited channel conductance. Here, we expand the optogenetics toolbox in the form of a tunable, high-conductance vertebrate cation channel, zTrpa1b, coupled with photo-activated channel ligands, such as optovin and 4g6. Our results demonstrate that zTrpa1b/ligand pairing offers high light sensitivity, millisecond-scale response latency in vivo, as well as adjustable channel off latency. Exogenous in vivo expression of zTrpa1b in sensory neurons allowed subcellular photo-activation, enabling light-dependent motor control. zTrpa1b/ligand was also suitable for cardiomyocyte pacing, as shown in experiments performed on zebrafish hearts in vivo as well as in human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes in vitro. Therefore, zTrpa1b/optovin represents a novel tool for flexible, high-conductance optogenetics.

description: We have performed a comprehensive spectral and timing analysis of the first NuSTAR observation of the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 1538-522. The observation covers the X-ray eclipse of the source, plus the eclipse ingress and egress. We use the new measurement of the mid-eclipse time to update the orbital parameters of the system and find marginally-significant evolution in the orbital period, with $\dot{P}_{\rm orb}/P_{\rm orb} = \left(-0.95 \pm 0.37\right) \times 10^{-6}$ yr$^{-1}$. The cyclotron line energy is found approximately 1.2 keV higher than RXTE measurements from 1997--2003, in line with the increased energy observed by Suzaku in 2012 and strengthening the case for secular evolution of 4U 1538-522's CRSF. We additionally characterize the behavior of the iron fluorescence and emission lines and line-of-sight absorption as the source moves into and out of eclipse.

description: Phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory is used to calculate the possible spontaneous vortex states that may exist at corner junctions of $d_{x^2-y^2}+ix$-wave, (where $x=s$ or $x=d_{xy}$) and s-wave superconductors. We study the magnetic flux and the critical current modulation with the junction orientation angle $θ$, the magnitude of the order parameter, and the magnetic field $H$. It is seen that the critical current $I_c$ versus the magnetic flux $Φ$ relation is symmetric / asymmetric for $x=d_{xy}/s$ when the orientation is exactly such that the lobes of the dominant $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave order parameter points towards the two junctions, which are at right angles for the corner junction. The conclusion is that a measurement of the $I_c(Φ)$ relation may distinguish which symmetry ($d_{x^2-y^2}+is$ or $d_{x^2-y^2}+id_{xy}$) the order parameter has.

description: Adiabatic quantum computing is implemented on specialized hardware using the heuristics of the quantum annealing algorithm. This setup requires the addressed problems to be formatted as discrete quadratic functions without constraints and the variables to take binary values only. The problem of finding Nash equilibrium in two-player, non-cooperative games is a two-fold quadratic optimization problem with constraints. This problem was formatted as a single, constrained quadratic optimization in 1964 by Mangasarian and Stone. Here, we show that adding penalty terms to the quadratic function formulation of Nash equilibrium gives a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) formulation of this problem that can be executed on quantum annealers. Three examples are discussed to highlight the success of the formulation, and an overall, time-to-solution (hardware + software processing) speed up of seven to ten times is reported on quantum annealers developed by D-Wave System.

description: We calculate the critical exponent gamma of Dyson's hierarchical model by direct fits of the zero momentum two-point function, calculated with an Ising and a Landau-Ginzburg measure, and by linearization about the Koch-Wittwer fixed point. We find gamma= 1.299140730159 plus or minus 10^(-12). We extract three types of subleading corrections (in other words, a parametrization of the way the two-point function depends on the cutoff) from the fits and check the value of the first subleading exponent from the linearized procedure. We suggest that all the non-universal quantities entering the subleading corrections can be calculated systematically from the non-linear contributions about the fixed point and that this procedure would provide an alternative way to introduce the bare parameters in a field theory model.

description: Since the second half of the twentieth century, the attempts to define design were directed to the problem-solution cycle and the knowledge that permeates this relationship. From this point of view, through a literature review, this article aims to go through the design cycle through the way problems are understood. A person who creates a product for himself focuses the problem on the "I", industrialization has shifted the attention of the problem to the “thing” and the design leads to the user. Problems here treated as "wicked" by their instability and difficulty of definition have great influence in this design mutability. Nowadays, the core of theproblem goes back to the human and takes on global proportions bringing the definition of "super wicked problems" and awakening to what would be the role of design as a discipline and the professional designer in this context.

description: It is widely accepted that every system should be robust in that ``small'' violations of environment assumptions should lead to ``small'' violations of system guarantees, but it is less clear how to make this intuition mathematically precise. While significant efforts have been devoted to providing notions of robustness for Linear Temporal Logic (LTL), branching-time logics, such as Computation Tree Logic (CTL) and CTL*, have received less attention in this regard. To address this shortcoming, we develop ``robust'' extensions of CTL and CTL*, which we name robust CTL (rCTL) and robust CTL* (rCTL*). Both extensions are syntactically similar to their parent logics but employ multi-valued semantics to distinguish between ``large'' and ``small'' violations of the specification. We show that the multi-valued semantics of rCTL make it more expressive than CTL, while rCTL* is as expressive as CTL*. Moreover, we show that the model checking problem, the satisfiability problem, and the synthesis problem for rCTL and rCTL* have the same asymptotic complexity as their non-robust counterparts, implying that robustness can be added to branching-time logics for free.

Calculations of neutron fluxes and isotope conversion rates in a thorium-fuelled MYRRHA reactor, using GEANT4 and MCNPX, Nuclear Engineering and Design

description: Neutronics calculations have been performed of the MYRRHA ADS Reactor with a thorium-based fuel mixture, using the simulation programs MCNPX (Waters, 2002) and Geant4 (Agostinelli, 2003). Thorium is often considered for ADS systems, and this is the first evaluation of the possibilities for thorium based fuels using a reactor design which has been developed in detail. It also extends the application of the widely-used Geant4 program to the geometry of MYRRHA and to thorium. An asymptotic 232Th/233U mixture is considered, together with the standard MOX fuel and a possible 232Th/MOX starter. Neutron fluxes and spectra are calculated at several regions in the core: fuel cells, IPS cells and the two (Mo and Ac) isotope production cells. These are then used for simple calculations of the fuel evolution and of the potential for the incineration of minor actinide waste. Results from the two programs agree and support each other and show that the thorium fuel is viable, and has good evolution/breeding properties, and that minor actinide incineration, though it will not take place on a significant scale, will be demonstrable.
Spontaneous morphing of equibiaxially pre-stretched elastic bilayers: the role of sample geometry

description: An elastic bilayer, consisting of an equibiaxially pre-stretched sheet bonded to a stress-free one, spontaneously morphs into curved shapes in the absence of external loads or constraints. Using experiments and numerical simulations, we explore the role of geometry for square and rectangular samples in determining the equilibrium shape of the system, for a fixed pre-stretch. We classify the observed shapes over a wide range of aspect ratios according to their curvatures and compare measured and computed values, which show good agreement. In particular, as the bilayer becomes thinner, a bifurcation of the principal curvatures occurs, which separates two scaling regimes for the energy of the system. We characterize the transition between these two regimes and show the peculiar features that distinguish square from rectangular samples. The results for our model bilayer system may help explaining morphing in more complex systems made of active materials.

Explaining the decrease in ISM lithium at super-solar metallicities in the solar vicinity

description: We propose here that the lithium decrease at super-solar metallicities observed in high resolution spectroscopic surveys can be explained by the interplay of mixed populations, coming from the inner regions of the Milky Way disc. The lower lithium content of these stars is a consequence of inside-out disc formation, plus radial migration. In this framework, local stars with super-solar metallicities would have migrated to the solar vicinity and depleted their original lithium during their travel time. To arrive to such a result, we took advantage of the AMBRE catalog of lithium abundances combined with chemical evolution models which take into account the contribution to the lithium enrichment by different nucleosynthetic sources. A large proportion of migrated stars can explain the observed lower lithium abundance at super-solar metallicities. We stress that nowadays, there is no stellar model able to predict Li-depletion for such super-solar metallicity stars, and the Solar Li-depletion has to be assumed. In addition, it currently exists no solid quantitative estimate of the proportion of migrated stars in the Solar neighborhood and their travel time. Our results illustrate how important it is to properly include radial migration when comparing chemical evolution models to observations, and that in this case, the lithium decrease at larger metallicities does not necessarily imply that stellar yields have to be modified, contrary to previous claims in literature.

description: We study hadronic two- and three-point correlators relevant for heavy to light pseudoscalar meson semi-leptonic decays, using Symanzik improved glue, D234 light quark and NRQCD heavy quark actions. Detailed comparisons are made between simulations on anisotropic and isotropic lattices involving finite momentum hadrons. We find evidence that having an anisotropy helps in extracting better signals at higher momenta. Initial results for the form factors f_+(q^2) and f_0(q^2) are presented with tree-level matching of the lattice heavy-light currents.

Note
Pleioplana inquieta Heath & McGregor, 1912, considered synonymous with P. californica by Hyman (1953).According to Hyman, P. inquieta not only shows the same morphological features as P.californica, but also shares the same habitat and distribution, namely Monterey Bay, California. Therefore, in this review, P. inquieta is considered a synonym of P. californica.
