description: For a left coherent ring A with every left ideal having a countable set of generators, we show that the coderived category of left A-modules is compactly generated by the bounded derived category of finitely presented left A-modules (reproducing a particular case of a recent result of Stovicek with our methods). Furthermore, we present the definition of a dualizing complex of fp-injective modules over a pair of noncommutative coherent rings A and B, and construct an equivalence between the coderived category of A-modules and the contraderived category of B-modules. Finally, we define the notion of a relative dualizing complex of bimodules for a pair of noncommutative ring homomorphisms A \to R and B \to S, and obtain an equivalence between the R/A-semicoderived category of R-modules and the S/B-semicontraderived category of S-modules. For a homomorphism of commutative rings A\to R, we also construct a tensor structure on the R/A-semicoderived category of R-modules. A vision of semi-infinite algebraic geometry is discussed in the introduction.

description: Ripples in pristine freestanding graphene naturally orient themselves in an array that is alternately curved-up and curved-down; maintaining an average height of zero. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to apply a local force, the graphene sheet will reversibly rise and fall in height until the height reaches 60-70 percent of its maximum at which point a sudden, permanent jump occurs. We successfully model the ripples as a spin-half Ising magnetic system, where the height of the graphene is the spin. The permanent jump in height, controlled by the tunneling current, is found to be equivalent to an antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic phase transition. The thermal load underneath the STM tip alters the local tension and is identified as the responsible mechanism for the phase transition. Four universal critical exponents are measured from our STM data, and the model provides insight into the statistical role of graphenes unusual negative thermal expansion coefficient.

description: In this paper we explore the relationship between "preference elicitation", a learning-style problem that arises in combinatorial auctions, and the problem of learning via queries studied in computational learning theory. Preference elicitation is the process of asking questions about the preferences of bidders so as to best divide some set of goods. As a learning problem, it can be thought of as a setting in which there are multiple target concepts that can each be queried separately, but where the goal is not so much to learn each concept as it is to produce an "optimal example". In this work, we prove a number of similarities and differences between two-bidder preference elicitation and query learning, giving both separation results and proving some connections between these problems.

description: In this RISJ factsheet, we analyse the racial breakdown of top editors in a strategic sample of 100 major online and offline news outlets in five different markets across four continents. Building off work started in 2020, we find in 2021 that only 15% of the 80 top editors across the 100 brands covered are non-white. Non-white people make up the majority of top editors in four out of five markets (the exception being South Africa) and that three markets (Brazil, Germany, UK) have no non-white top editors at all. In all markets covered, even South Africa, the percentage of non-white people in the general population is much higher than it is among top editors and there is no simple relationship between the percentage of non-white journalists and the percentage of non-white top editors. Findings indicate no clear overall trend towards greater racial equality in top editorial positions from 2020 to 2021.
« Brèche dans l’écoute » : écrire « avec la musique » dans "La Troisième Main" de Michèle Finck

description: Cet article examine un cas très spécifique d’écriture mélomane centré sur la traduction des émotions musicales : le recueil de poésie La Troisième Main de Michèle Finck (Arfuyen, 2015). Ce recueil est né d’une expérience d’écriture singulière : la poétesse, momentanément aveugle à la suite d’une opération des yeux connaît, dans le noir total, une plongée dans la musique et un approfondissement de l’écoute. L’œil refermé fait éclore et s’ouvrir, plus que jamais, l’oreille, qui accueille, qui souffre, qui jouit et qui, souvent, s’interroge par l’écriture. Le dispositif du recueil est original, inédit : chaque poème est accompagné du titre d’une œuvre musicale, du nom du compositeur et des interprètes, parfois également de la citation de paroles chantées, avec leur traduction. Chaque poème devient donc à la fois traduction d’une écoute et d’émotions vécues lors de l’écoute, et désir d’inclusion de l’œuvre musicale dans la poésie elle-même. Si l’expérience d’écriture de ce recueil est singulière, l’expérience de lecture l’est aussi car, grâce aux informations liminaires sur le titre de l’œuvre musicale donnant naissance au poème, elle fait appel à la mémoire musicale et émotionnelle du lecteur, voire convie à une écoute et une lecture simultanées, ou à la réécoute à travers le poème.

description: In situations where the avoidance of goto statements would be inhibiting, programs can be methodically constructed by using transition diagrams. The key requirement is that the relevant assertions must be simple enough to permit exhaustive reasoning. The method is illustrated by programs for fast exponentiation, merging, and path-finding in a directed graph.

The Trajectory of Distress Tolerance Following Substance Use Treatment
Creators: name: Reese, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Distress tolerance (DT), defined separately as the actual or perceived ability to withstand aversive affective states, has been linked to problematic substance use behavior within nonclinical samples and treatment outcome among those with substance use disorders. Thus, DT may represent an important risk factor for substance use relapse, and has been evaluated as a target of substance use treatment. However, the longitudinal trajectory of DT among treatment seeking substance users remains unknown. The aims of the current study were to (a) characterize trajectories of perceived DT, assessed via self-report, and behavioral DT, assessed using a behavioral task, and (b) evaluate the influence of abstinence duration and frequency of use as predictors of DT change in a sample of residential treatment seeking substance users. Results of latent curve model analyses revealed that both perceived and behavioral DT improved nonlinearly over time. Additionally, abstinence duration was associated with greater improvement in both perceived and behavioral DT, and greater frequency of use post-treatment was associated with attenuated behavioral, but not perceived, DT. The current study provides evidence for naturally occurring improvement in both perceived and behavioral DT over 12 months following completion of residential substance use treatment. Such findings provide support for the conceptualization of DT as a malleable treatment target and emphasize the importance of abstinence in DT improvement and substance use recovery.

description: Face de-identification methods have been proposed to preserve users' privacy by obscuring their faces. These methods, however, can degrade the quality of photos, and they usually do not preserve the utility of faces, i.e., their age, gender, pose, and facial expression. Recently, GANs, such as StyleGAN, have been proposed, which generate realistic, high-quality imaginary faces. In this paper, we investigate the use of StyleGAN in generating de-identified faces through style mixing. We examined this de-identification method for preserving utility and privacy by implementing several face detection, verification, and identification attacks and conducting a user study. The results from our extensive experiments, human evaluation, and comparison with two state-of-the-art methods, i.e., CIAGAN and DeepPrivacy, show that StyleGAN performs on par or better than these methods, preserving users' privacy and images' utility. In particular, the results of the machine learning-based experiments show that StyleGAN0-4 preserves utility better than CIAGAN and DeepPrivacy while preserving privacy at the same level. StyleGAN0-3 preserves utility at the same level while providing more privacy. In this paper, for the first time, we also performed a carefully designed user study to examine both privacy and utility-preserving properties of StyleGAN0-3, 0-4, and 0-5, as well as CIAGAN and DeepPrivacy from the human observers' perspectives. Our statistical tests showed that participants tend to verify and identify StyleGAN0-5 images more easily than DeepPrivacy images. All the methods but StyleGAN0-5 had significantly lower identification rates than CIAGAN. Regarding utility, as expected, StyleGAN0-5 performed significantly better in preserving some attributes. Among all methods, on average, participants believe gender has been preserved the most while naturalness has been preserved the least.

description: Chiral anomaly, a non-conservation of chiral charge pumped by the topological nontrivial gauge fields, has been predicted to exist in Weyl semimetals. However, until now, the experimental signature of this effect exclusively relies on the observation of negative longitudinal magnetoresistance at low temperatures. Here, we report the field-modulated chiral charge pumping process and valley diffusion in Cd3As2. Apart from the conventional negative magnetoresistance, we observe an unusual nonlocal response with negative field dependence up to room temperature, originating from the diffusion of valley polarization. Furthermore, a large magneto-optic Kerr effect generated by parallel electric and magnetic fields is detected. These new experimental approaches provide a quantitative analysis of the chiral anomaly phenomenon which is inaccessible previously. The ability to manipulate the valley polarization in topological semimetal at room temperature opens up a brand-new route towards understanding its fundamental properties and utilizing the chiral fermions.

description: As transportation infrastructure expands to accommodate increasing human population growth, wildlife–vehicle conflicts (WVCs) are a growing concern for motorist safety and wildlife populations. In the case of large ungulates, minimal information exists on successful mitigation of WVCs involving bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) and habitat fragmentation. Too address this void, we evaluated the effectiveness of 3 new wildlife overpasses, 3 culverts, 2 bridges, and ungulate exclusionary fencing as potential desert bighorn sheep (O. c. nelsoni; sheep) crossing opportunities along US Highway 93 in Arizona, USA. We evaluated sheep movements using global positioning system (GPS) radio-transmitter collars and remote cameras for 4 years from March 2011 to March 2015 and sheep–vehicle collision data collected from 2011 to 2020. Although GPS determined pre- and post-mitigation passage rates of sheep that crossed US Highway 93 were initially similar, they increased every year and were on average 217% higher following inclusion of wildlife crossings and by year 4 had ultimately increased 633% from pre-construction rates. Cameras recorded 6,936 crossings by a dozen wildlife species with sheep accounting for 95% of all crossings. Sheep used the 3 overpasses (90% of all sheep crossings) disproportionately more than the 3 culverts and 2 underpasses (10% of all sheep crossings) in the same area, and use of the 3 overpasses increased 905% in the first year. Sheep initially used the 30-m-wide overpasses at 83% and 175% higher passage rates than 2 15-m-wide structures; however, by year 4 passage rates were similar across overpasses. From February 2011 through February 2020, we documented 0.8 sheep–vehicle collisions/year for an overall 93.3% reduction from the 12 collisions per year previously documented. Most of the collisions occurred immediately following completion of the project and gradually reduced as sheep access points were identified and addressed through an adaptive mitigation process to iteratively improve success. Overpasses appear to be the preferred wildlife crossing type for sheep and when properly located and linked with ungulate exclusion fencing successfully reduced collisions and habitat fragmentation. These findings add to our knowledge base of effective roadway mitigation for different species. Long-term monitoring informs species learning curves, preference of wildlife crossing structure type, and adaptive mitigation opportunities to increase effectiveness of mitigation measures on current and future projects.

description: We consider an additional food provided prey-predator model exhibiting Holling type IV functional response with combined continuous white noise and discontinuous Lévy noise. We prove the existence and uniqueness of global positive solutions for the considered model. By considering the quality and quantity of additional food as control parameters, we formulate a time-optimal control problem. We obtain the condition for the existence of an optimal control. Furthermore, making use of the arrow condition of the sufficient stochastic maximum principle, we characterize the optimal quality of additional food and optimal quantity of additional food. Numerical results are given to illustrate the theoretical findings with applications in biological conservation and pest management.

description: In a realistic mobile push-manipulation scenario, it becomes non-trivial and infeasible to build analytical models that will capture the complexity of the interactions between the environment, each of the objects, and the robot as the variety of objects to be manipulated increases. We present an experience-based push-manipulation approach that enables the robot to acquire experimental models regarding how pushable real world objects with complex 3D structures move in response to various pushing actions. These experimentally acquired models can then be used either (1) for trying to track a collision-free guideline path generated for the object by reiterating pushing actions that result in the best locally-matching object trajectories until the goal is reached, or (2) as building blocks for constructing achievable push plans via a Rapidly-exploring Random Trees variant planning algorithm we contribute and executing them by reiterating the corresponding trajectories. We extensively experiment with these two methods in a 3D simulation environment and demonstrate the superiority of the achievable planning and execution concept through safe and successful push-manipulation of a variety of passively mobile pushable objects. Additionally, our preliminary tests in a real world scenario, where the robot is asked to arrange a set of chairs around a table through achievable push-manipulation, also show promising results despite the increased perception and action uncertainty, and verify the validity of our contributed method.

description: Using the new wideband capabilities of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), we obtain spectra for PKS 1718-649, a well-known gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio source. The observations, between approximately 1 and 10 GHz over three epochs spanning approximately 21 months, reveal variability both above the spectral peak at ~3 GHz and below the peak. The combination of the low and high frequency variability cannot be easily explained using a single absorption mechanism, such as free-free absorption or synchrotron self-absorption. We find that the PKS 1718-649 spectrum and its variability are best explained by variations in the free-free optical depth on our line-of-sight to the radio source at low frequencies (below the spectral peak) and the adiabatic expansion of the radio source itself at high frequencies (above the spectral peak). The optical depth variations are found to be plausible when X-ray continuum absorption variability seen in samples of Active Galactic Nuclei is considered. We find that the cause of the peaked spectrum in PKS 1718-649 is most likely due to free-free absorption. In agreement with previous studies, we find that the spectrum at each epoch of observation is best fit by a free-free absorption model characterised by a power-law distribution of free-free absorbing clouds. This agreement is extended to frequencies below the 1 GHz lower limit of the ATCA by considering new observations with Parkes at 725 MHz and 199 MHz observations with the newly operational Murchison Widefield Array. These lower frequency observations argue against families of absorption models (both free-free and synchrotron self-absorption) that are based on simple homogenous structures.

description: The management of free-roaming horses (Equus ferus) and burros (E. asinus) in the United States has been referred to as a “wicked problem” because, although there are population control options, societal values will ultimately determine what is acceptable and what is not. In the United States, free-roaming equids are managed by different types of organizations and agencies, and the landscapes that these animals inhabit vary widely in terms of access, size, topography, climate, natural resources, flora, and fauna. This landscape diversity, coupled with contemporary socioeconomic and political environments, means that adaptive management practices are needed to regulate these free-roaming populations. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) currently manages free-roaming equids on 177 herd management areas in the United States by applying fertility control measures in situ and/or removing horses, which are either adopted by private individuals or sent to long-term holding facilities. The BLM off-range population currently includes >50,000 animals and costs approximately $50 million USD per year to maintain; on-range equid numbers were estimated in March 2022 to be approximately 82,384. On-range populations can grow at 15–20% annually, and current estimates far exceed the designated appropriate management level of 26,715. To reduce population recruitment, managers need better information about effective, long-lasting or permanent fertility control measures. Because mares breed only once a year, fertility control studies take years to complete. Some contraceptive approaches have been studied for decades, and results from various trials can collectively inform future research directions and actions. Employing 1 or more fertility control tools in concert with removals offers the best potential for success. Active, iterative, cooperative, and thoughtful management practices can protect free-roaming horses while simultaneously protecting the habitat. Herein, we review contraceptive vaccines, intrauterine devices, and surgical sterilization options for controlling fertility of free-roaming horses. This review provides managers with a “fertility control toolbox” and guides future research.

description: Quantum entanglement is known to be monogamous, i.e., it obeys strong constraints on how the entanglement can be distributed among multipartite systems. Almost all the entanglement monotones so far are shown to be monogamous. We explore here a family of entanglement monotones with the reduced functions are concave but not strictly concave and show that they are not monogamous. They are defined by four kinds of the ``partial-norm'' of the reduced state, which we call them \textit{partial-norm of entanglement}, minimal partial-norm of entanglement, reinforced minimal partial-norm of entanglement, and \textit{partial negativity}, respectively. This indicates that, the previous axiomatic definition of the entanglement monotone needs supplemental agreement that the reduced function should be strictly concave since such a strict concavity can make sure that the corresponding convex-roof extended entanglement monotone is monogamous. Here, the reduced function of an entanglement monotone refers to the corresponding function on the reduced state for the measure on bipartite pure states.

description: We investigated the superconducting and transport properties in FeTe$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ (0.1 $\leq$ $x$ $\leq$ 0.4) single crystals prepared by O$_2$-annealing. Sharp superconducting transition width observed in magnetization measurement and the small residual resistivity prove the high quality of the crystals. All the crystals manifest large, homogeneous, and isotropic critical current density \emph{J}$_c$ with self-field value over 10$^5$ A/cm$^2$ at 2 K. The large and field-robust critical current densities prove that the superconductivity in FeTe$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ (0.1 $\leq$ $x$ $\leq$ 0.4) is in bulk nature. The values of anisotropy parameter close to $T_c$ for crystals with different Se doping levels all reside in the range of 2 - 3. Hall coefficients $R_H$ keeps positive and almost constant value at high temperatures, followed by a sudden decreases before reaching $T$$_c$, which indicates that the electron-type charge carriers become dominant at low temperatures. Furthermore, the characteristic temperature for the sudden decrease in $R_H$ gradually increases with Se doping.

description: Classic social choice literature assumes that votes are independent (but possibly conditioned on an underlying objective ground truth). This assumption is unrealistic in settings where the voters are connected via an underlying social network structure, as social interactions lead to correlated votes. We establish a general framework — based on random utility theory — for ranked voting on a social network with arbitrarily many alternatives (in contrast to previous work, which is restricted to two alternatives). We identify a family of voting rules which, without knowledge of the social network structure, are guaranteed to recover the ground truth with high probability in large networks, with respect to a wide range of models of correlation among input votes.
Evidence of mixed scaling for mean profile similarity in the stable atmospheric surface layer

description: A new mixed scaling parameter $Z=z/\sqrt{Lh}$ is proposed for similarity in the stable atmospheric surface layer, where $z$ is the height, $L$ is the Obukhov length, and $h$ is the boundary layer depth. Compared to the parameter $ζ= z/L$ from Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), the new parameter $Z$ leads to improved mean profile similarity for wind speed and air temperature in large-eddy simulations. It also yields the same linear similarity relation for CASES-99 field measurements, including in the strongly stable (but still turbulent) regime where large deviations from MOST are observed. Results further suggest that similarity for turbulent energy dissipation rate depends on both $Z$ and $ζ$. The proposed mixed scaling of $Z$ and relevance of $h$ can be explained by physical arguments related to the limit of z-less stratification that is reached asymptotically above the surface layer. While the presented evidence and fitted similarity relations are promising, the results and arguments are limited to a small sample of idealized stationary stable boundary layers. Corroboration is needed from independent datasets and analyses, including for complex and transient conditions not tested here.

description: We present a semidefinite programming approach to bound the measures of cross-independent pairs in a bipartite graph. This can be viewed as a far-reaching extension of Hoffman's ratio bound on the independence number of a graph. As an application, we solve a problem on the maximum measures of cross-intersecting families of subsets with two different product measures, which is a generalized measure version of the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for cross-intersecting families with different uniformities.

description: In the first LHC running period the CMS-pixel detector had to face various operational challenges and had to adapt to the rapidly changing beam conditions. In order to maximize the physics potential and the quality of the data, online and offline calibrations were performed on a regular basis. The detector performed excellently with an average hit efficiency above 99% for all layers and disks. In this contribution the operational challenges of the silicon pixel detector in the first LHC run and the current long shutdown are summarized and the expectations for 2015 are discussed.

description: We investigate the effect of disorder on topologically nontrivial states in a two dimension (2D) mechanical system. We first propose a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator based on an out-of-plane spring-mass model and analytically study the interplay between the disorder and topology in both topologically trivial and nontrivial systems. We adopt the spin Bott index to characterize the topological property in disordered mechanical systems. By tracking the evolution of the spin Bott index with the increase of disorders, we quantitatively demonstrate the disorder induced transition from a topologically nontrivial QSH insulator to a trivial insulator. We then validate the topological phase transition through transient analysis in discrete lattices. Finally, we design a phononic crystal based on the discrete spring-mass model and numerically verify the topologically protected states along the boundary between the trivial insulator and disordered topological QSH insulator in a continuous system. This work puts a step forward in understanding the role of disorder in a 2D topological classical system.

description: We consider a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter (DM) annihilating into all possible Standard Model (SM) particle pairs, including the SM neutrinos, via $s$-wave processes and derive the branching ratio independent upper limit on the total annihilation cross-section $\langle σv \rangle$ using the data of CMB, gamma-ray, cosmic-ray and several neutrino observations. For conservative choices of all relevant astrophysical parameters, we obtain upper limits of $10^{-23}-10^{-25}\,{\rm cm}^3{\rm s}^{-1}$ on the total $\langle σv \rangle$ for the WIMP mass range $10\,{\rm MeV}-100\,{\rm TeV}$, thus making the entire mass range consistent with the observed relic density. An important input that goes into our analysis is the assumption that thermal WIMPs can have significant coupling to the SM neutrinos.

title: Information Gathering in Decentralized POMDPs by Policy Graph Improvement

description: Decentralized policies for information gathering are required when multiple autonomous agents are deployed to collect data about a phenomenon of interest without the ability to communicate. Decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes (Dec-POMDPs) are a general, principled model well-suited for such decentralized multiagent decision-making problems. In this paper, we investigate Dec-POMDPs for decentralized information gathering problems. An optimal solution of a Dec-POMDP maximizes the expected sum of rewards over time. To encourage information gathering, we set the reward as a function of the agents’ state information, for example the negative Shannon entropy. We prove that if the reward is convex, then the finite-horizon value function of the corresponding Dec-POMDP is also convex. We propose the first heuristic algorithm for information gathering Dec-POMDPs, and empirically prove its effectiveness by solving problems an order of magnitude larger than previous state-of-the-art.
Non-Hermitian heat engine with all-quantum-adiabatic-process cycle

description: As a quantum device, a quantum heat engine (QHE) is described by a Hermitian Hamiltonian.However, since it is an open system, reservoirs have to be imposed phenomenologically without any description in the context of quantum mechanics. A non-Hermitian system is expected to describe an open system which exchanges energy and particles with external reservoirs. Correspondingly,such an exchange can be adiabatic in the context of quantum mechanics. We first propose a non-Hermitian QHE by a concrete simple two-level system, which is an S = 1/2 spin in a complex external magnetic field. The non-Hermitian PT -symmetric Hamiltonian, as a self-contained one,describes both working medium and reservoirs. A heat-engine cycle is composed of completely quantum adiabatic processes. Surprisingly, the heat efficiency is obtained to be the same as that of Hermitian quantum Otto cycle. A classical analogue of this scheme is also presented. Our finding paves the way for revealing what the role of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian plays in physics.
