description: We have studied the timing and spectral properties of the BeXB 4U 1901+03 during the 2019 outburst using \textit{NuSTAR}, \textit{Swift}, and \textit{NICER} observations. Flares are in all observations and were of tens to hundreds of seconds duration. Pulse profiles were changing significantly with time and the luminosity of the source. An increase in the height of the peak of the pulse profiles was observed with energy. The pulse fraction increases with energy and at the end of the outburst. The variation of the pulse profile with time indicates the transition of the pulsar in different accretion regimes. The absorption like feature at 10 keV shows a positive correlation with the luminosity and along with other spectral parameters this feature was also pulse phase dependent. As the distance to the source is not precisely known hence we cannot confirm this feature to be CSRF and also cannot ignore other possible explanations of the feature. Another absorption like feature about 30 keV was observed in the spectra of the last two \textit{NuSTAR} observations and has line energy of about 30.37$\pm$0.55 and 30.23$\pm$0.62 keV respectively. We have also studied the variation of the line energy, width, and optical depth of this feature with pulse phase. The softening of the spectrum along with the increase in pulse fraction at the end of the outburst and absence of pulsation after 58665.09 MJD suggest that pulsar has entered propeller phase, also abrupt decrease in \textit{Swift}-XRT flux supports the fact.

description: We predict the emergence of extreme events in a parametrically driven nonlinear dynamical system using three Deep Learning models, namely Multi-Layer Perceptron, Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory. The Deep Learning models are trained using the training set and are allowed to predict the test set data. After prediction, the time series of the actual and the predicted values are plotted one over the other in order to visualize the performance of the models. Upon evaluating the Root Mean Square Error value between predicted and the actual values of all three models, we find that the Long Short-Term Memory model can serve as the best model to forecast the chaotic time series and to predict the emergence of extreme events for the considered system.

description: In recent years, stable and unstable manifolds of invariant objects (such as libration points and periodic orbits) have been increasingly recognized as an efficient tool for designing transfer trajectories in space missions. However, most methods currently used in mission design rely on using eigenvectors of the linearized dynamics as local approximations of the manifolds. Since such approximations are not accurate except very close to the base invariant object, this requires large amounts of numerical integration to globalize the manifolds and locate intersections. In this paper, we study hyperbolic resonant periodic orbits in the planar circular restricted 3-body problem, and transfer trajectories between them, by: 1) determining where to search for resonant periodic orbits; 2) developing and implementing a parameterization method for accurate computation of their invariant manifolds as Taylor series; and 3) developing a procedure to compute intersections of the computed stable and unstable manifolds. We develop and implement algorithms that accomplish these three goals, and demonstrate their application to the problem of transferring between resonances in the Jupiter-Europa system.

description: We present a hybrid CCSD(T)+PBE-D3 approach to calculating the vibrational signatures for gas phase benzene and benzene adsorbed on an ordered water-ice surface. We compare the results of our method against experimentally recorded spectra and calculations performed using PBE-D3-only approaches (harmonic and anharmonic). Calculations use a proton ordered XIh water-ice surface consisting of 288 water molecules, and results are compared against experimental spectra recorded for an ASW ice surface. We show the importance of including a water ice surface into spectroscopic calculations, owing to the resulting differences in vibrational modes, frequencies and intensities of transitions seen in the IR spectrum. The overall intensity pattern shifts from a dominating $ν_{11}$ band in the gas-phase to several high-intensity carriers for an IR spectrum of adsorbed benzene. When used for adsorbed benzene, the hybrid approach presented here achieves an RMSD for IR active modes of 21~cm$^{-1}$, compared to 72~cm$^{-1}$ and 49~cm$^{-1}$ for the anharmonic and harmonic PBE-D3 approaches, respectively. Our hybrid model for gaseous benzene also achieves the best results when compared to experiment, with an RMSD for IR active modes of 24~cm$^{-1}$, compared to 55~cm$^{-1}$ and 31~cm$^{-1}$ for the anharmonic and harmonic PBE-D3 approaches, respectively. To facilitate assignment, we generate and provide a correspondence graph between the normal modes of the gaseous and adsorbed benzene molecules. Finally, we calculate the frequency shifts, $Δν$, of adsorbed benzene relative to its gas phase to highlight the effects of surface interactions on vibrational bands and evaluate the suitability of our chosen dispersion-corrected density functional theory.

description: This thin paper notebook contains the Journal du Père Voisard. François-Humbert Voisard (Porrentruy, 1749–1818) was a Jesuit from 1765. From 1773, he taught at the collège de Porrentruy, where he resided, until the creation of the department of Mont-Terrible in 1793, which resulted in his departure for Solothurn. His Journal recounts the years that preceded his departure, between 1762 and 1793. Inserted into the chronological sequence can be found an extract containing questions and responses destined for the Abrégé de l’histoire des évêques de Bâle (pp. 8-11), and a report on the year 1791 (pp. 28-30). In the Bibliographie du Jura bernois, Gustave Amweg states: « Copie appartenant à M. le Doyen E[ugène] Folletête, à Porrentruy, faite par son père M. Casimir Folletête » (A copy belonging to Dean Eugène Folletête, in Porrentruy, made by his father Casimir Folletête).

description: We investigate the most popular approaches to the problem of sports betting investment based on modern portfolio theory and the Kelly criterion. We define the problem setting, the formal investment strategies, and review their common modifications used in practice. The underlying purpose of the reviewed modifications is to mitigate the additional risk stemming from the unrealistic mathematical assumptions of the formal strategies. We test the resulting methods using a unified evaluation protocol for three sports: horse racing, basketball and soccer. The results show the practical necessity of the additional risk-control methods and demonstrate their individual benefits. Particularly, we show that an adaptive variant of the popular ``fractional Kelly'' method is a very suitable choice across a wide range of settings.

description: There are 23 long-period binary systems discovered to date that contain a B-type hot subdwarf(sdB) whose orbital parameters have been fully solved. They evolve into O-type subdwarfs (sdO) once the helium burning transitions from the core to the He shell. Their study will help constraint parameters on the formation and evolution of these binaries and explain some of their puzzling features. In this study, we aim to solve orbital and atmospheric parameters of two long-period sdO binaries and, for the first time, investigate the chemical composition of their main-sequence (MS) companions. HERMES high-resolution spectra are used to obtain radial velocities and solve their orbits. The Grid Search in Stellar Parameter code (GSSP) is used to derive the atmospheric parameters and photospheric chemical abundances of the MS companions. Stellar evolution models (MIST) are fitted to the companion atmospheric parameters to derive masses. In the bimodal period-eccentricity diagram, the orbital parameters indicate that Feige 80 matches the same correlation as the majority of the systems. The analysis suggests that Feige 80 has a canonical subdwarf mass and followed a standard formation channel. However, BD-11$^{\rm{o}}$162 is an exceptional system with a lower mass. It also shows a carbon overabundance, which could be caused by a higher progenitor mass. The yttrium depletion in both MS companions could indicate the existence of a circumbinary disk in these systems' pasts. Nevertheless, a chemical analysis of a larger sample is necessary to draw strong conclusions.

description: Current technologies for Web Services are based on syntactical descriptions and, therefore, lend themselves to only limited amount of automation. Research efforts in Semantic Web Services, such as WSMO, try to overcome this major deficiency by providing a complete semantic description for Web Services and their related aspects. In this paper we present a logical framework which exploits such formal descriptions in order to dynamically discover Web Services that match requester goals. We consider two kinds of user goals: discovery and contracting. Based on the WSMO conceptual model, we define proof obligations that formalize the concepts of a match in these two cases. We also describe a concrete realization of this framework in the F-Logic reasoning engine FLORA-2. Such a realization requires an extension of F-Logic in order to support rule reification. With this extension, F-logic becomes a suitable framework for describing and reasoning about Semantic Web Services and their capabilities.

description: Automatic text summarization aims to cut down readers time and cognitive effort by reducing the content of a text document without compromising on its essence. Ergo, informativeness is the prime attribute of document summary generated by an algorithm, and selecting sentences that capture the essence of a document is the primary goal of extractive document summarization. In this paper, we employ Shannon entropy to capture informativeness of sentences. We employ Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to reveal probability distributions for computing entropy of terms, topics, and sentences in latent space. We present an information theoretic interpretation of the computed entropy, which is the bedrock of the proposed E-Summ algorithm, an unsupervised method for extractive document summarization. The algorithm systematically applies information theoretic principle for selecting informative sentences from important topics in the document. The proposed algorithm is generic and fast, and hence amenable to use for summarization of documents in real time. Furthermore, it is domain-, collection-independent and agnostic to the language of the document. Benefiting from strictly positive NMF factor matrices, E-Summ algorithm is transparent and explainable too. We use standard ROUGE toolkit for performance evaluation of the proposed method on four well known public data-sets. We also perform quantitative assessment of E-Summ summary quality by computing its semantic similarity w.r.t the original document. Our investigation reveals that though using NMF and information theoretic approach for document summarization promises efficient, explainable, and language independent text summarization, it needs to be bolstered to match the performance of deep neural methods.

description: A hidden nonlinear bosonized supersymmetry was revealed recently in Poschl-Teller and finite-gap Lame systems. In spite of the intimate relationship between the two quantum models, the hidden supersymmetry in them displays essential differences. In particular, the kernel of the supercharges of the Poschl-Teller system, unlike the case of Lame equation, includes nonphysical states. By means of Lame equation, we clarify the nature of these peculiar states, and show that they encode essential information not only on the original hyperbolic Poschl-Teller system, but also on its singular hyperbolic and trigonometric modifications, and reflect the intimate relation of the model to a free particle system.

The social studies in British Columbia schools : education or alienation?
Creators: name: Clarke, Patrick Sean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The study views political learning as having two divergent components, political education and political socialization. Political socialization is a process of values allocation in which beliefs are transferred from one generation to another. Political education concentrates on questioning values through critical inquiry in which social issues are viewed as subjects for analysis. Political education concentrates on subjective analysis while political socialization is more inclined to be objective in nature and presents society as a mechanism to be learned about. It is suggested that as an objective exercise, political socialization is a process which could be inclined to alienate its recipients. In presenting the society and in particular its political aspects, as a set of established values to be learned and understood, political socialization discourages participation in the political sense. This is accomplished when participation is circumscribed by socialization to certain activities, principally, voting. Due to this limited understanding of participation political activity beyond voting is less likely and politics becomes increasingly incomprehensible. Citizens are removed from active participation to become, in effect, an audience. This lack of involvement can lead to apathy or confusion towards political matters. The study posits that such political behaviours are manifestations of alienation. These theoretical considerations provide a framework for the examination of social studies curricula in British Columbia. These curricula may be agents of socialization and hence conducive to alienation in students. The study provides an analysis of three curriculum documents according to a framework which ascertains the degree to which a curriculum is inclined to political socialization or political education. The analysis undertaken by the study determined that since 1950 British Columbia has had in place social studies curricula which have been inclined to political socialization and were, therefore, conducive to political alienation in students. The study indicates a 1979 draft curriculum presented by the Ministry of Education is a curriculum of political education. It was concluded that this curriculum is different in orientation than the two previous social studies curricula prescribed in British Columbia.

A comparative study of teaching typing skills on microcomputers
Creators: name: Lindsay, Robert McDonald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A four week experimental study was conducted with 105 junior secondary students in four introductory typewriting classes of a large urban Vancouver school during the Spring semester of 1981. The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of teaching the skill building components of typewriting speed and accuracy using either the microcomputer or the electric typewriter. The study also addressed the suitability of the microprocessor selected for typewriting instruction. Ten hypotheses were tested using a randomly selected treatment group of 32 students and a control group of 73 students. The nonequivalent control group design modified by a time series design (Campbell & Stanley, 1963) was used. Two pretest and posttest speed and accuracy assessments were measured by instruments certified by a panel of typewriting experts and the results treated with analysis of variance and covariance statistical techniques. The experimental group used a custom-designed software program (Braun, 1981) which was essentially a copy of the skill building text material used by the control group. A student and teacher questionnaire was administered. The results failed to reject 9 of the 10 null hypotheses indicating that the microcomputer is as effective as electric typewriter in increasing student speed levels when factors of sex, age and class attended are considered, and as effective as the electric typewriter in increasing accuracy scores where age and class attended are involved. In the rejected hypothesis, significance at the p<.01 level indicates that males of the treatment group did not achieve error rates as low as either the control group males or the females in the treatment group. Recommendations for microprocessor design and areas for future research were based on the findings.

description: Epidemics of influenza are major public health concerns. Since influenza prediction always relies on the weekly clinical or laboratory surveillance data, typically the weekly Influenza-like illness (ILI) rate series, accurate multi-step-ahead influenza predictions using ILI series is of great importance, especially, to the potential coming influenza outbreaks. This study proposes Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization based Machine Learning (CLPSO-ML) framework incorporating support vector regression (SVR) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) for multi-step-ahead influenza prediction. A comprehensive examination and comparison of the performance and potential of three commonly used multi-step-ahead prediction modeling strategies, including iterated strategy, direct strategy and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) strategy, was conducted using the weekly ILI rate series from both the Southern and Northern China. The results show that: (1) The MIMO strategy achieves the best multi-step-ahead prediction, and is potentially more adaptive for longer horizon; (2) The iterated strategy demonstrates special potentials for deriving the least time difference between the occurrence of the predicted peak value and the true peak value of an influenza outbreak; (3) For ILI in the Northern China, SVR model implemented with MIMO strategy performs best, and SVR with iterated strategy also shows remarkable performance especially during outbreak periods; while for ILI in the Southern China, both SVR and MLP models with MIMO strategy have competitive prediction performance

description: The use of multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for search and rescue as well as remote sensing is rapidly increasing. Multi-rotor UAVs, however, have limited endurance. The range of UAV applications can be widened if teams of multiple UAVs are used. We propose a framework for a team of UAVs to cooperatively explore and find a target in complex GPS-denied environments with obstacles. The team of UAVs autonomously navigates, explores, detects, and finds the target in a cluttered environment with a known map. Examples of such environments include indoor scenarios, urban or natural canyons, caves, and tunnels, where the GPS signal is limited or blocked. The framework is based on a probabilistic decentralised Partially Observable Markov Decision Process which accounts for the uncertainties in sensing and the environment. The team can cooperate efficiently, with each UAV sharing only limited processed observations and their locations during the mission. The system is simulated using the Robotic Operating System and Gazebo. Performance of the system with an increasing number of UAVs in several indoor scenarios with obstacles is tested. Results indicate that the proposed multi-UAV system has improvements in terms of time-cost, the proportion of search area surveyed, as well as successful rates for search and rescue missions.
Cologny, Fondation Martin Bodmer, Cod. Bodmer 27 : Syriac Lectionary
Publisher: name: e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
Year: 2025

description: This manuscript contains a Jacobite (syro-orthodox) Rite lectionary, which is missing its beginning and presents several internal lacunae (f. 8v, 14v, and 96v). It ends with a rubricated explicit arranged in an inverted pyramid, without indication of place, date, or the name of the copyist (f. 102v). The leaves that follow (ff. 103r-105v), written in a second, contemporary hand, include rituals, such as the office of the blessing of the water that is held on the vigil of Epiphany (f. 103r-v). It dates from the end of the twelfth or the thirteenth century (cf. W.H.P. Hatch, An Album of Dated Syriac Manuscripts, Boston, 1946, pl. LXXXVIII-XC; written communication from Paul Géhin and Bernard Outtier) and was copied in two columns in Estrangelo, the ancient and classical Syriac script. The gatherings – quinions – are numbered in the middle of the bottom margin, on the recto of the first and on the verso of the last leaf of the gathering (for example, the sixth gathering, numbered ܘ, begins on folio 48r and ends on folio 57v). In keeping with a common practice in the Syriac tradition, the verso of each folio is marked with four dots arranged in a lozenge and aligned with the first line of text. In addition to rubrics, column-sized ornamental bands of interlace structure the text (f. 3r, 29r, 45v, 66r, 75r, 81v, 84r, 95r).

description: Meter-sized ground-based telescopes are frequently used today for the follow-up of extrasolar planet candidates. While the transit signal of a Jupiter-sized object can typically be detected to a high level of confidence with small telescope apertures as well, the shallow transit dips of planets with the size of Neptune and smaller are more challenging to reveal. We employ new observational data to illustrate the photometric follow-up capabilities of meter-sized telescopes for shallow exoplanet transits. We describe in detail the capability of distinguishing the photometric signal of an exoplanet transit from an underlying trend in the light curve. The transit depths of the six targets we observed, Kepler-94b, Kepler-63b, K2-100b, K2-138b, K2-138c, and K2-138e, range from 3.9 ppt down to 0.3 ppt. For five targets of this sample, we provide the first ground-based photometric follow-up. We detect or rule out the transit features significantly in single observations for the targets that show transits of 1.3 ppt or deeper. The shallower transit depths of two targets of 0.6 and 0.8 ppt were detected tentatively in single light curves, and were detected significantly by repeated observations. Only for the target of the shallowest transit depth of 0.3 ppt were we unable to draw a significant conclusion despite combining five individual light curves. An injection-recovery test on our real data shows that we detect transits of 1.3 ppt depth significantly in single light curves if the transit is fully covered, including out-of-transit data toward both sides, in some cases down to 0.7 ppt depth. For Kepler-94b, Kepler-63b, and K2-100b, we were able to verify the ephemeris. In the case of K2-138c with a 0.6 ppt deep transit, we were able to refine it, and in the case of K2-138e, we ruled out the transit in the time interval of more than +-1.5 sigma of its current literature ephemeris.

description: Knowledge organization systems (KOS), like thesauri and other controlled vocabularies, are used to provide subject access to information systems across the web. Due to the heterogeneity of these systems, mapping between vocabularies becomes crucial for retrieving relevant information. However, mapping thesauri is a laborious task, and thus big efforts are being made to automate the mapping process. This paper examines two mapping approaches involving the agricultural thesaurus AGROVOC, one machine-created and one human created. We are addressing the basic question "What are the pros and cons of human and automatic mapping and how can they complement each other?" By pointing out the difficulties in specific cases or groups of cases and grouping the sample into simple and difficult types of mappings, we show the limitations of current automatic methods and come up with some basic recommendations on what approach to use when.

description: We develop a new formulation of the continuum quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) in which the residual interaction is derived directly from the Skyrme energy functional, keeping all the velocity dependent terms of the Skyrme effective interaction. Numerical analysis using the SkM$^*$ parameter set is performed for the isovector dipole and the isovector/isoscalar quadrupole responses in $^{20}$O and $^{54}$Ca. It is shown that the energy-weighted sum rule including the enhancement factors for the isovector responses is satisfied with good accuracy. We investigate also how the velocity dependent terms influence the strength distribution and the transition densities of the low-lying surface modes and the giant resonances.

description: Measurements of cosmic flows enable us to test whether cosmological models can accurately describe the evolution of the density field in the nearby Universe. In this paper, we measure the low-order kinematic moments of the cosmic flow field, namely bulk flow and shear moments, using the Cosmicflows-4 Tully-Fisher catalogue (CF4TF). To make accurate cosmological inferences with the CF4TF sample, it is important to make realistic mock catalogues. We present the mock sampling algorithm of CF4TF. These mock can accurately realize the survey geometry and luminosity selection function, enabling researchers to explore how these systematics affect the measurements. These mocks can also be further used to estimate the covariance matrix and errors of power spectrum and two-point correlation function in future work. In this paper, we use the mocks to test the cosmic flow estimator and find that the measurements are unbiased. The measured bulk flow in the local Universe is 376 $\pm$ 23 (error) $\pm$ 183 (cosmic variance) km s$^{-1}$ at depth $d_{\text{MLE}}=35$ Mpc $h^{-1}$, to the Galactic direction of $(l,b)=(298\pm 3^{\circ}, -6\pm 3^{\circ})$. Both the measured bulk and shear moments are consistent with the concordance $Λ$ Cold Dark Matter cosmological model predictions.

Quantum expanders from any classical Cayley graph expander

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We give a simple recipe for translating walks on Cayley graphs of a group G into a quantum operation on any irrep of G. Most properties of the classical walk carry over to the quantum operation: degree becomes the number of Kraus operators, the spectral gap becomes the gap of the quantum operation (viewed as a linear map on density matrices), and the quantum operation is efficient whenever the classical walk and the quantum Fourier transform on G are efficient. This means that using classical constant-degree constant-gap families of Cayley expander graphs on e.g. the symmetric group, we can construct efficient families of quantum expanders.
