description: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are now widely applied to data acquisition due to its low cost and fast mobility. With the increasing volume of aerial videos, the demand for automatically parsing these videos is surging. To achieve this, current researches mainly focus on extracting a holistic feature with convolutions along both spatial and temporal dimensions. However, these methods are limited by small temporal receptive fields and cannot adequately capture long-term temporal dependencies which are important for describing complicated dynamics. In this paper, we propose a novel deep neural network, termed FuTH-Net, to model not only holistic features, but also temporal relations for aerial video classification. Furthermore, the holistic features are refined by the multi-scale temporal relations in a novel fusion module for yielding more discriminative video representations. More specially, FuTH-Net employs a two-pathway architecture: (1) a holistic representation pathway to learn a general feature of both frame appearances and shortterm temporal variations and (2) a temporal relation pathway to capture multi-scale temporal relations across arbitrary frames, providing long-term temporal dependencies. Afterwards, a novel fusion module is proposed to spatiotemporal integrate the two features learned from the two pathways. Our model is evaluated on two aerial video classification datasets, ERA and Drone-Action, and achieves the state-of-the-art results. This demonstrates its effectiveness and good generalization capacity across different recognition tasks (event classification and human action recognition). To facilitate further research, we release the code at https://gitlab.lrz.de/ai4eo/reasoning/futh-net.

Prediction for the amplitude and second maximum of Solar Cycle 25 and a comparison of the predictions based on strength of polar magnetic field and low latitude sunspot area

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

description: The maximum of a solar cycle contain two or more peaks, known as Gnevyshev peaks. Studies of this property of solar cycles may help for better understanding the solar dynamo mechanism. We analysed the 13-month smoothed monthly mean Version-2 international sunspot number (SN) during the period 1874-2017 and found that there exists a good correlation between the amplitude (value of the main and highest peak) and the value of the second maximum (value of the second highest peak) during the maximum of a solar cycle.Using this relationship and the earlier predicted value 86 (~92) of the amplitude of Solar Cycle 25, here we predict a value ~73 (~79) for the second maximum of Solar Cycle 25. The ratio of the predicted second maximum to the amplitude is found to be 0.85, almost the same as that of Solar Cycle 24.The cosine fits to the values of the peaks that occurred first and second during the maxima of Solar Cycles 12-24 suggests that in Solar Cycle 25 the second maximum would occur before the main maximum, the same as in Solar Cycle 24. However, these fits suggest ~106 and ~119 for the second maximum and the amplitude of Solar Cycle 25, respectively. We analysed the polar-fields data measured in Wilcox Observatory during Solar Cycles 20-24 and obtained a value ~125 for the amplitude of Solar Cycle 25. This is slightly larger-whereas the value ~86 (~92) predicted from the aforementioned relationship is slightly smaller-than the observed amplitude of Solar Cycle~24. This difference is discussed briefly.

description: On the basis of three-dimensional nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we propose a new dynamical process leading to the stochastization of magnetic fields during an edge pedestal collapse. Primary tearing modes are shown to grow by extracting kinetic energy of unstable ballooning modes, eventually leading to the island overlap. Secondary tearing modes, which are generated through a coherent nonlinear interaction between adjacent ballooning modes, play a key role in this process, mediating the energy transfer between primary ballooning and tearing modes. Explicit calculations of the parallel energy loss through the stochastic field lines show that it can be a likely dominant energy loss mechanism during an edge pedestal collapse.

description: A theoretical description of the low-temperature phase of short-range spin glasses has remained elusive for decades. In particular, it is unclear if theories that assert a single pair of pure states, or theories that are based infinitely many pure states-such as replica symmetry breaking-best describe realistic short-range systems. To resolve this controversy, the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass in thermal boundary conditions is studied numerically using population annealing Monte Carlo. In thermal boundary conditions all eight combinations of periodic vs antiperiodic boundary conditions in the three spatial directions appear in the ensemble with their respective Boltzmann weights, thus minimizing finite-size corrections due to domain walls. From the relative weighting of the eight boundary conditions for each disorder instance a sample stiffness is defined, and its typical value is shown to grow with system size according to a stiffness exponent. An extrapolation to the large-system-size limit is in agreement with a description that supports the droplet picture and other theories that assert a single pair of pure states. The results are, however, incompatible with the mean-field replica symmetry breaking picture, thus highlighting the need to go beyond mean-field descriptions to accurately describe short-range spin-glass systems.

description: This study investigates the effects of curvature on the local heat release rate and mixture fraction during turbulent flame-wall interaction of a lean dimethyl ether/air flame using a fully resolved simulation with a reduced skeletal chemical reaction mechanism and mixture-averaged transport. The region in which turbulent flame-wall interaction affects the flame is found to be restricted to a wall distance less than twice the laminar flame thickness. In regions without heat losses, heat release rate and curvature, as well as mixture fraction and curvature, are negatively correlated, which is in accordance with experimental findings. Flame-wall interaction alters the correlation between heat release rate and curvature. An inversion in the sign of the correlation from negative to positive is observed as the flame starts to experience heat losses to the wall. The correlation between mixture fraction and curvature, however, is unaffected by flame-wall interactions and remains negative. Similarly to experimental findings, the investigated turbulent side-wall quenching flame shows both head-on quenching and side-wall quenching-like behavior. The different quenching events are associated with different curvature values in the near-wall region. Furthermore, for medium heat loss, the correlations between heat release rate and curvature are sensitive to the quenching scenario.

This formalism is then used to study the thermodynamical properties of hadronic systems based on a Hadron Resonance Gas approach. We apply this result to study the protoneutron star stability under several conditions.

description: In this paper, we propose a new biometric verification and template protection system which we call the THRIVE system. The system includes novel enrollment and authentication protocols based on threshold homomorphic cryptosystem where the private key is shared between a user and the verifier. In the THRIVE system, only encrypted binary biometric templates are stored in the database and verification is performed via homomorphically randomized templates, thus, original templates are never revealed during the authentication stage. The THRIVE system is designed for the malicious model where the cheating party may arbitrarily deviate from the protocol specification. Since threshold homomorphic encryption scheme is used, a malicious database owner cannot perform decryption on encrypted templates of the users in the database. Therefore, security of the THRIVE system is enhanced using a two-factor authentication scheme involving the user's private key and the biometric data. We prove security and privacy preservation capability of the proposed system in the simulation-based model with no assumption. The proposed system is suitable for applications where the user does not want to reveal her biometrics to the verifier in plain form but she needs to proof her physical presence by using biometrics. The system can be used with any biometric modality and biometric feature extraction scheme whose output templates can be binarized. The overall connection time for the proposed THRIVE system is estimated to be 336 ms on average for 256-bit biohash vectors on a desktop PC running with quad-core 3.2 GHz CPUs at 10 Mbit/s up/down link connection speed. Consequently, the proposed system can be efficiently used in real life applications.

description: Mobility can be a challenging issue for those with paralysis resulting from a spinal cord
injury or muscular degeneration. It is especially difficult, or next to impossible, for those with
quadriplegia and unable to move any of their limbs. Restoring mobility to these people would
significantly improve the quality of life for those living with quadriplegia. There have been
several different methods aimed at doing just this. One method is through the use of brain controlled
interfaces. A brain-controlled interface system allows for the user to control an object
through their brain activity, bypassing the need for any physical inputs. Usually some form of an
Electroencephalogram (BEG) is used to capture brain activity and send those signals to a
computer which analyzes the brain waves and activity and generates an output command based
upon those readings. This project uses a skull cap with 8 electrodes, made by Unicom BCI, to
capture brain activity. These readings are sent to a computer mnning MATLAB and Simulink
software to receive and process the brain waves in order to generate commands. Simulink
communicates with an Arduino Uno in order to set certain pins high or low depending on the
desired command. These Arduino pins are connected to a pair of motor drivers which control the
speed and direction of the motors on a powered wheelchair.

description: Soft robotics has opened a unique path to flexibility and environmental adaptability, learning from nature and reproducing biological behaviors. Nature implies answers for how to apply robots to real life. To find out how we learn from creatures to design and apply soft robots, in this Review, we propose a classification method to summarize soft robots based on different functions of biological systems: self-growing, self-healing, self-responsive, and self-circulatory. The bio-function based classification logic is presented to explain why we learn from creatures. State-of-art technologies, characteristics, pros, cons, challenges, and potential applications of these categories are analyzed to illustrate what we learned from creatures. By intersecting these categories, the existing and potential bio-inspired applications are overviewed and outlooked to finally find the answer, that is, how we learn from creatures.

The cold nuclear effect of dipole-nucleus interactions has been investigated by introducing a nuclear geometric effect function f(ξ) to study the nuclear geometry distribution effect in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The dependencies of nuclear modification factors (RdA) on rapidity and centrality are studied and compared to experimental data. It is found that the M-DKLMT model can well describe the experimental results at both forward- and mid-rapidity regions in dAu collisions at RHIC.

description: We used VIMOS on VLT to perform $V$ and $I$ band imaging of the outermost halo of NGC 5128 / Centaurus A ($(m-M)_0=27.91\pm0.08$), 65 kpc from the galaxy's center and along the major axis. The stellar population has been resolved to $I_0 \approx 27$ with a $50\%$ completeness limit of $I_0 = 24.7$, well below the tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB), which is seen at $I_0 \approx 23.9$. The surface density of NGC 5128 halo stars in our fields was sufficiently low that dim, unresolved background galaxies were a major contaminant in the source counts. We isolated a clean sample of red-giant-branch (RGB) stars extending to $\approx 0.8$ mag below the TRGB through conservative magnitude and color cuts, to remove the (predominantly blue) unresolved background galaxies. We derived stellar metallicities from colors of the stars via isochrones and measured the density falloff of the halo as a function of metallicity by combining our observations with HST imaging taken of NGC 5128 halo fields closer to the galaxy center. We found both metal-rich and metal-poor stellar populations and found that the falloff of the two follows the same de Vaucouleurs' law profiles from $\approx 8$ kpc out to $\approx$ 70 kpc. The metallicity distribution function (MDF) and the density falloff agree with the results of two recent studies of similar outermost halo fields in NGC 5128. We found no evidence of a "transition" in the radial profile of the halo, in which the metal-rich halo density would drop rapidly, leaving the underlying metal-poor halo to dominate by default out to greater radial extent, as has been seen in the outer halo of two other large galaxies. If NGC 5128 has such a transition, it must lie at larger galactocentric distances.

description: The problem of testing two simple hypotheses in a general probability space is considered. For a fixed type-I error probability, the best exponential decay rate of the type-II error probability is investigated. In regular asymptotic cases (i.e., when the length of the observation interval grows without limit) the best decay rate is given by Stein's exponent. In the paper, for a general probability space, some non-asymptotic lower and upper bounds for the best rate are derived. These bounds represent pure analytic relations without any limiting operations. In some natural cases, these bounds also give the convergence rate for Stein's exponent. Some illustrating examples are also provided.

description: Quantum transport in disordered systems is studied using a polaron-based master equation. The polaron approach is capable of bridging the results from the coherent band-like transport regime governed by the Redfield equation to incoherent hopping transport in the classical regime. A non-monotonic dependence of the diffusion coefficient is observed both as a function of temperature and system-phonon coupling strength. In the band-like transport regime, the diffusion coefficient is shown to be linearly proportional to the system-phonon coupling strength, and vanishes at zero coupling due to Anderson localization. In the opposite classical hopping regime, we correctly recover that the dynamics are described by the Fermi's Golden Rule (FGR) and establish that the scaling of the diffusion coefficient depends on the phonon bath relaxation time. In both the hopping and band-like transport regimes, it is demonstrated that at low temperature the zero-point fluctuations of the bath lead to non-zero transport rates, and hence a finite diffusion constant. Application to rubrene and other organic semiconductor materials shows a good agreement with experimental mobility data.

description: By combination of two independent approaches, nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and first-principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory, we determine the element-resolved vibrational density of states in the ferromagnetic low temperature and paramagnetic high temperature phase of LaFe$_{13-x}$Si$_x$. This allows us to derive the lattice and electronic contribution to the entropy change at the first-order phase transformation, which are both of considerable magnitude. The change in lattice entropy is dominated by magneto-elastic softening, which originates from the itinerant electron metamagnetism associated with Fe. This counteracts the large volume change at the transition and leads to an unexpected, cooperative behavior of magnetic, vibrational and electronic entropy change, which is responsible for the large magneto- and barocaloric effect observed for this material.

description: When large overdensities gravitationally collapse in the early universe, they lead to primordial black holes (PBH). Depending on the exact model of inflation leading to necessary large perturbations at scales much smaller than scales probed at the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) surveys, PBHs of masses $\lesssim$$10^3 M_{\odot}$ can be formed sometime between the end of inflation and nucleosynthesis. However, the lack of a direct probe for the exact expansion history of the universe in this duration introduces uncertainties in the PBH formation process. The presence of alternate cosmological evolution for some duration after inflation affects the relation between (i) PBH mass and the scale of the collapsing overdensity; and (ii) PBH abundance and amplitude of the overdensities. In this review, the non-standard cosmological epochs relevant for a difference in PBH production are motivated and discussed. The importance of developing the framework of PBH formation in non-standard epochs is discussed from a phenomenological point of view, with particular emphasis on the advances in gravitational wave (GW) phenomenology, since abundant PBHs are always accompanied by large induced GWs. PBH formation in general non-standard epochs is also reviewed including the mathematical formalism. Specific examples, such as PBH formation in a kinetic energy dominated epoch and an early matter dominated epoch, are discussed with figures showing higher PBH abundances as compared to the production in standard radiation domination.

Moreover, we perform demultiplexing and routing of signal and idler photons after transferring them via a fiber to a second identical chip. Non-classical two-photon temporal correlations with a coincidence-to-accidental ratio of 50 are measured without further off-chip filtering. Our system, fabricated with high yield and reproducibility in a CMOS process, paves the way toward truly large-scale quantum photonic circuits by allowing sources and detectors of single photons to be integrated on the same chip.

description: Spin-orbit coupling is ubiquitous in quantum dot quantum computing architectures, and makes spin qubits susceptible to charge noise. We derive a Hamiltonian describing the effect of spin-orbit and noise on a single-spin qubit in a quantum dot. Relaxation is due to noise coupling different orbital levels and is dominated by screened whole charge defects near the dot. Dephasing stems from noise causing relative fluctuations between orbital levels, and is driven by screened whole charge defects and unscreened dipole defects in the substrate. Dephasing times are vastly different between common materials such as Si and GaAs. They can be enhanced by increasing gate fields, choosing materials with weak spin-orbit such as Si, making dots narrower, or using accumulation dots.

description: The second epoch Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey (MGPS-2) covers the area bounded by 245deg < Galactic longitude < 365deg and Galactic latitude < |10|deg, at a frequency of 843 MHz and an angular resolution of 45" x 45" cosec(Dec.). The sensitivity varies between 1 - 2 mJy/beam depending on the presence of strong extended sources. This survey is currently the highest resolution and most sensitive large-scale continuum survey of the southern Galactic Plane. In this paper, we present the images of the complete survey, including postage stamps of some new supernova remnant (SNR) candidates and a discussion of the highly structured features detected in the interstellar medium. The intersection of these two types of features is discussed in the context of the "missing" SNR population in the Galaxy.

description: Bismuth and its alloys provide a paradigm to realize three dimensional materials whose low-energy effective theory is given by Dirac equation in 3+1 dimensions. We study the quantum transport properties of three dimensional Dirac materials within the framework of Landauer-Büttiker formalism. Charge carriers in normal metal satisfying the Schrödinger equation, can be split into four-component with appropriate matching conditions at the boundary with the three dimensional Dirac material (3DDM). We calculate the conductance and the Fano factor of an interface separating 3DDM from a normal metal, as well as the conductance through a slab of 3DDM. Under certain circumstances the 3DDM appears transparent to electrons hitting the 3DDM. We find that electrons hitting the metal-3DDM interface from metallic side can enter 3DDM in a reversed spin state as soon as their angle of incidence deviates from the the direction perpendicular to interface. However the presence of a second interface completely cancels this effect.

description: Escherichia coli is one of many bacterial inhabitants found in human intestines and any adaptation as a result of mutations may affect its host. A commonly used technique employed to study these mutations is Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and is proceeded with a suitable distance coefficient to quantify genetic differences between 2 samples. Dice is considered a suitable distance coefficient in RFLP analyses, while others were left unstudied in its suitability for use. Hence, this study aims to identify substitutes for Dice. Experimental data was obtained by subculturing E. coli for 72 passages in 8 different adaptation media and RFLP profiles analyzed using 20 distance coefficients. Our results suggest that Dennis, Fossum, Matching and Russel and Rao to work as well or better than Dice. Dennis, Matching and Fossum coefficients had highest discriminatory abilities but are limited by the lack of upper or lower boundaries. Russel and Rao coefficient is highly correlated with Dice coefficient (r2 = 0.998), with both higher and lower boundaries, suggesting that Russel and Rao coefficient can be used to substitute Dice coefficient in studying genetic distances in E. coli.

description: Why Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (Bi2212) allows high critical current density Jc in round wires rather than only in the anisotropic tape form demanded by all other high temperature superconductors is important for future magnet applications. Here we compare the local texture of state-of-the-art Bi2212 and Bi2223 ((Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10), finding that round wire Bi2212 generates a dominant a-axis growth texture that also enforces a local biaxial texture (FWHM <15°) while simultaneously allowing the c-axes of its polycrystals to rotate azimuthally along and about the filament axis so as to generate macroscopically isotropic behavior. By contrast Bi2223 shows only a uniaxial (FWHM <15°) c-axis texture perpendicular to the tape plane without any in-plane texture. Consistent with these observations, a marked, field-increasing, field-decreasing Jc(H) hysteresis characteristic of weak-linked systems appears in Bi2223 but is absent in Bi2212 round wire. Growth-induced texture on cooling from the melt step of the Bi2212 Jc optimization process appears to be the key step in generating this highly desirable microstructure.

description: The dynamical evolution of spatial patterns in a complex system can reveal the underlying structure and stability of stationary states. As a model system we employ a two-component rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate at the transition from miscible to immiscible with the additional control of linear interconversion. Excellent agreement is found between the detailed experimental time evolution and the corresponding numerical mean-field computations. Analyzing the dynamics of the system, we find clear indications of stationary states that we term nonlinear dressed states. A steady state bifurcation analysis reveals a smooth connection of these states with dark-bright soliton solutions of the integrable two-component Manakov model.

description: We announce the discovery of activity, in the form of a distinct cometary tail, emerging from main-belt asteroid 2015 VA108. Activity was first identified by volunteers of the Citizen Science project Active Asteroids (a NASA Partner). We uncovered one additional image from the same observing run which also unambiguously shows 2015 VA108 with a tail oriented between the anti-solar and anti-motion vectors that are often correlated with activity orientation on sky. Both publicly available archival images were originally acquired UT 2015 October 11 with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Blanco 4 m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (Chile) as part of the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey. Activity occurred near perihelion and, combined with its residence in the main asteroid belt, 2015 VA108 is a candidate main-belt comet, an active asteroid subset known for volatile sublimation.

description: Performance analysis of microservices can be a challenging task, as a typical request to these systems involves multiple Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) spanning across independent services and machines. Practitioners primarily rely on distributed tracing tools to closely monitor microservices performance. These tools enable practitioners to trace, collect, and visualize RPC workflows and associated events in the context of individual end-to-end requests. While effective for analyzing individual end-to-end requests, current distributed tracing visualizations often fall short in providing a comprehensive understanding of the system's overall performance. To address this limitation, we propose a novel visualization approach that enables aggregate performance analysis of multiple end-to-end requests. Our approach builds on a previously developed technique for comparing structural differences of request pairs and extends it for aggregate performance analysis of sets of requests. This paper presents our proposal and discusses our preliminary ongoing progress in developing this innovative approach.

description: We analyze the conditions under which local operations and classical communication enable entanglement transformations within the set of bipartite pure Gaussian states. A set of necessary and sufficient conditions had been found in [Quant. Inf. Comp. 3, 211 (2003)] for the interconversion between such states that is restricted to Gaussian local operations and classical communication. Here, we exploit majorization theory in order to derive more general (sufficient) conditions for the interconversion between bipartite pure Gaussian states that goes beyond Gaussian local operations. While our technique is applicable to an arbitrary number of modes for each party, it allows us to exhibit surprisingly simple examples of 2 x 2 Gaussian states that necessarily require non-Gaussian local operations to be transformed into each other.
