description: Many biological functions require the dynamics to be necessarily driven out-of-equilibrium. In contrast, in various contexts, a nonequilibrium dynamics at fast timescales can be described by an effective equilibrium dynamics at a slower timescale. In this work we study the two different aspects, (i) the energy-efficiency tradeoff for a specific nonequilibrium linear dynamics of two variables with feedback, and (ii) the cost of effective parameters in a coarse-grained theory as given by the "hidden" dissipation and entropy production rate in the effective equilibrium limit of the dynamics. To meaningfully discuss the tradeoff between energy consumption and the efficiency of the desired function, a one-to-one mapping between function(s) and energy input is required. The function considered in this work is the variance of one of the variables. We get a one-to-one mapping by considering the minimum variance obtained for a fixed entropy production rate and vice-versa. We find that this minimum achievable variance is a monotonically decreasing function of the given entropy production rate. When there is a timescale separation, in the effective equilibrium limit, the cost of the effective potential and temperature is the associated "hidden" entropy production rate.

description: Skin dynamics contributes to the enriched realism of human body models in rendered scenes. Traditional methods rely on physics-based simulations to accurately reproduce the dynamic behavior of soft tissues. Due to the model complexity and thus the heavy computation, however, they do not directly offer practical solutions to domains where real-time performance is desirable. The quality shapes obtained by physics-based simulations are not fully exploited by example-based or more recent datadriven methods neither, with most of them having focused on the modeling of static skin shapes by leveraging quality data. To address these limitations, we present a learningbased method for dynamic skin deformation. At the core of our work is a recurrent neural network that learns to predict the nonlinear, dynamics-dependent shape change over time from pre-existing mesh deformation sequence data. Our network also learns to predict the variation of skin dynamics across different individuals with varying body shapes. After training the network delivers realistic, high-quality skin dynamics that is specific to a person in a real-time course. We obtain results that significantly saves the computational time, while maintaining comparable prediction quality compared to state-of-the-art results.

description: One of the hallmarks of quantum statistics, tightly entwined with the concept of topological phases of matter, is the prediction of anyons. Although anyons are predicted to be realized in certain fractional quantum Hall systems, they have not yet been unambiguously detected in experiment. Here we introduce a simple quantum impurity model, where bosonic or fermionic impurities turn into anyons as a consequence of their interaction with the surrounding many-particle bath. A cloud of phonons dresses each impurity in such a way that it effectively attaches fluxes/vortices to it and thereby converts it into an Abelian anyon. The corresponding quantum impurity model, first, provides a new approach to the numerical solution of the many-anyon problem, along with a new concrete perspective of anyons as emergent quasiparticles built from composite bosons or fermions. More importantly, the model paves the way towards realizing anyons using impurities in crystal lattices as well as ultracold gases. In particular, we consider two heavy electrons interacting with a two-dimensional lattice crystal in a magnetic field, and show that when the impurity-bath system is rotated at the cyclotron frequency, impurities behave as anyons as a consequence of the angular momentum exchange between the impurities and the bath. A possible experimental realization is proposed by identifying the statistics parameter in terms of the mean square distance of the impurities and the magnetization of the impurity-bath system, both of which are accessible to experiment. Another proposed application are impurities immersed in a two-dimensional weakly interacting Bose gas.

description: In this article, we present a dynamical scheme to obtain a reconfigurable noise-aided logic gate, that yields all six fundamental 2-input logic operations, including the XOR operation. The setup consists of two coupled bistable subsystems that are each driven by one subthreshold logic input signal, in the presence of a noise floor. The synchronization state of their outputs, robustly maps to 2-input logic operations of the driving signals, in an optimal window of noise and coupling strengths. Thus the interplay of noise, nonlinearity and coupling, leads to the emergence of logic operations embedded within the collective state of the coupled system. This idea is manifested using both numerical simulations and proof-of-principle circuit experiments. The regions in parameter space that yield reliable logic operations were characterized through a stringent measure of reliability, using both numerical and experimental data.

description: Automatic generation of artistic glyph images is a challenging task that attracts many research interests. Previous methods either are specifically designed for shape synthesis or focus on texture transfer. In this paper, we propose a novel model, AGIS-Net, to transfer both shape and texture styles in one-stage with only a few stylized samples. To achieve this goal, we first disentangle the representations for content and style by using two encoders, ensuring the multi-content and multi-style generation. Then we utilize two collaboratively working decoders to generate the glyph shape image and its texture image simultaneously. In addition, we introduce a local texture refinement loss to further improve the quality of the synthesized textures. In this manner, our one-stage model is much more efficient and effective than other multi-stage stacked methods. We also propose a large-scale dataset with Chinese glyph images in various shape and texture styles, rendered from 35 professional-designed artistic fonts with 7,326 characters and 2,460 synthetic artistic fonts with 639 characters, to validate the effectiveness and extendability of our method. Extensive experiments on both English and Chinese artistic glyph image datasets demonstrate the superiority of our model in generating high-quality stylized glyph images against other state-of-the-art methods.

description: Design and performance details are given for the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), an interferometer array that is measuring the power spectrum of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) for multipoles in the range 400 < l < 3500. The CBI is located at an altitude of 5000 m in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It is a planar synthesis array with 13 0.9-m diameter antennas on a 6-m diameter tracking platform. Each antenna has a cooled, low-noise receiver operating in the 26-36 GHz band. Signals are cross-correlated in an analog filterbank correlator with ten 1 GHz bands. This allows spectral index measurements which can be used to distinguish CMBR signals from diffuse galactic foregrounds. A 1.2 kHz 180-deg phase switching scheme is used to reject cross-talk and low-frequency pick-up in the signal processing system. The CBI has a 3-axis mount which allows the tracking platform to be rotated about the optical axis, providing improved (u,v) coverage and a powerful discriminant against false signals generated in the receiving electronics. Rotating the tracking platform also permits polarization measurements when some of the antennas are configured for the orthogonal polarization.

Here we study the microcanonical phase diagram of this model for $K<0$, extending previous studies which were restricted to positive $K$. A fourth order critical point is found to exist at coupling parameters which are different from those of the canonical ensemble. The microcanonical phase diagram of the model close to the fourth order critical point is studied in detail revealing some distinct features from the canonical counterpart.

description: Deep learning has gained tremendous success and great popularity in the past few years. However, deep learning systems are suffering several inherent weaknesses, which can threaten the security of learning models. Deep learning's wide use further magnifies the impact and consequences. To this end, lots of research has been conducted with the purpose of exhaustively identifying intrinsic weaknesses and subsequently proposing feasible mitigation. Yet few are clear about how these weaknesses are incurred and how effective these attack approaches are in assaulting deep learning. In order to unveil the security weaknesses and aid in the development of a robust deep learning system, we undertake an investigation on attacks towards deep learning, and analyze these attacks to conclude some findings in multiple views. In particular, we focus on four types of attacks associated with security threats of deep learning: model extraction attack, model inversion attack, poisoning attack and adversarial attack. For each type of attack, we construct its essential workflow as well as adversary capabilities and attack goals. Pivot metrics are devised for comparing the attack approaches, by which we perform quantitative and qualitative analyses. From the analysis, we have identified significant and indispensable factors in an attack vector, e.g., how to reduce queries to target models, what distance should be used for measuring perturbation. We shed light on 18 findings covering these approaches' merits and demerits, success probability, deployment complexity and prospects. Moreover, we discuss other potential security weaknesses and possible mitigation which can inspire relevant research in this area.

Through transformations of variables and reductions, we obtain novel integrable discretizations of the nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS), modified KdV (mKdV), mixed NLS, matrix NLS, matrix KdV, matrix mKdV, coupled NLS, coupled Hirota, coupled Sasa-Satsuma and Burgers equations. We also discuss integrable discretizations of the sine-Gordon equation, the massive Thirring model and their generalizations.

description: While previous works have shown that an overwhelming number of scale-free networks are sparse, there still exist some real-world networks including social networks, urban networks, information networks, which are by observation dense. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for generating scale-free graphs with dense feature using two simple yet helpful operations, first-order subdivision and Line-operation. From the theoretical point of view, our method can be used not only to produce desired scale-free graphs with density feature, i.e. power-law exponent $γ$ falling into the interval $1

Thanks to recent technical advances, this technique can now be applied for the first time for the study of van der Waals heterostructures built by stacking two-dimensional crystals. In this article we will present the current state of the art in angle-resolved photoemission measurements on two-dimensional materials and review this still young field. We will focus in particular on devices similar to those used in transport and optics experiments, including the latest developments on magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene and on the in-operando characterization of gate tunable devices.

description: We study unification in the Randall-Sundrum scenario for solving the hierarchy problem, with gauge fields and fermions in the bulk. We calculate the one-loop corrected low-energy effective gauge couplings in a unified theory, broken at the scale M_GUT in the bulk. We find that, although this scenario has an extra dimension, there is a robust (calculable in the effective field theory) logarithmic dependence on M_GUT, strongly suggestive of high-scale unification, very much as in the (4D) Standard Model. Moreover, bulk threshold effects are naturally small, but volume-enhanced, so that we can accommodate the measured gauge couplings. We show in detail how excessive proton decay is forbidden by an extra U(1) bulk gauge symmetry. This mechanism requires us to further break the unified group using boundary conditions. A 4D dual interpretation, in the sense of the AdS/CFT correspondence, is provided for all our results. Our results show that an attractive unification mechanism can combine with a non-supersymmetric solution to the hierarchy problem.

description: This paper explores the impacts of spreadsheets on business operations in a water utility parastatal in Malawi, Sub-Saharan Africa. The organisation is a typical example of a semi-government body operating in a technologically underdeveloped country. The study focused on spreadsheet scope of use and life cycle as well as organisational policy and governance. The results will help define future spreadsheet usage by influencing new approaches for managing potential risks associated with spreadsheets in the organization. Generally, findings indicate that the proliferation of spreadsheets in the organization has provided an enabling environment for business automation. The paper also highlights management, technological and human factor issues contributing to high risks associated with the pervasive spreadsheet use. The conclusions drawn from the research confirms that there is ample room for improvement in many areas such as implementation of comprehensive policies and regulations governing spreadsheet development processes and adoption.

description: We study the complexity of Gaussian mixed states in a free scalar field theory using the 'purification complexity'. The latter is defined as the lowest value of the circuit complexity, optimized over all possible purifications of a given mixed state. We argue that the optimal purifications only contain the essential number of ancillary degrees of freedom necessary in order to purify the mixed state. We also introduce the concept of 'mode-by-mode purifications' where each mode in the mixed state is purified separately and examine the extent to which such purifications are optimal. We explore the purification complexity for thermal states of a free scalar QFT in any number of dimensions, and for subregions of the vacuum state in two dimensions. We compare our results to those found using the various holographic proposals for the complexity of subregions. We find a number of qualitative similarities between the two in terms of the structure of divergences and the presence of a volume law. We also examine the 'mutual complexity' in the various cases studied in this paper.

Saturation and Thermalization of the Magnetorotational Instability: Recurrent Channel Flows and Reconnections

description: The nonlinear evolution and the saturation mechanism of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) are investigated using three-dimensional resistive MHD simulations. A local shearing box is used for our numerical analysis and the simulations begin with a purely vertical magnetic field. We find that the magnetic stress in the nonlinear stage of the MRI is strongly fluctuating. The time evolution shows the quasi-periodic recurrence of spike-shape variations typically for a few orbits which correspond to the rapid amplification of the magnetic field by the nonlinear growth of a two-channel solution followed by the decay through magnetic reconnections. The increase rate of the total energy in the shearing box system is analytically related to the volume-averaged torque in the system. We find that at the saturated state this energy gain of the system is balanced with the increase of the thermal energy mostly due to the joule heating. The spike-shape time evolution is a general feature of the nonlinear evolution of the MRI in the disks threaded by vertical fields and can be seen if the effective magnetic Reynolds number is larger than about unity.

description: Pesticides are generally sold at a price lower than MRP, but in some cases during peak period they are sold higher than MRP. More than one-half of farmers use recommended quantity of pesticides. Almost all farmers use pesticides after seeing pest/disease in the field. Majority of them cover their face during pesticide application. Among all crops, comparatively more pesticides are applied for vegetables crops. Majority of farmers believe that pesticide application pollute water & air and they are harmful to farm labour. The study shows that farmers use excess pesticides for all crops except Banana (sagar) and Mango. Non-IPM farmers apply much higher amount of pesticides than IPM farmers. Only IPM trained farmers know and use IPM technologies. Apart from pesticide application, majority of trained farmers are aware and use crop rotation and control by hand methods. In contrast, a few of them use cultural and biological methods. Although they are interested to use pest resistance seeds, they cannot use those because of non-availability of seeds. In case of using recommended doses of pesticides, IPM and nonIPM farmers differ significantly. Comparatively more IPM farmers express their view that pesticide application pollutes air as well as crop. Finally, this study reveals that training on IPM encouraged farmers to adopt non-traditional pest control methods.

description: This study was undertaken in an area of Bangladesh to assess the impact of minor irrigation on different farm sizes and determines the optimum allocation of resources of large and small farmers among different crops in a shallow tubewell (STW) irrigation system. Farm survey method was used to collect data in order to develop linear programming representative farm models. The analysis takes into account crop activities, inputs used, farm size and soil types. Optimal plans show mis-allocation of existing resources and indicated considerable scope for increasing farm income by reallocation of existing resources. The mis-allocation of resources on large farms was greater than on small farms. The analysis suggests that, by reallocating existing resources, large farms can increase farm income and employment more significantly than small farms. The research supports the view that the government should maintain a policy that favours private sector investment and operation of STW irrigation and the extension workers may direct farmers to allocate their resources in better way.

description: An Ex-post rate of return analysis for estimating the returns of BR11 variety of rice in T. Aman season has been conducted using Akino and Hayami model (1975) and Masters model (1996). Using the Akino and Hayami model it was found that the IRR to the total investment in BR11 rice variety research and extension was calculated at 85%. The increased production from BR11 saved foreign exchange of Tk. 109.83 billion, which is 86% of the total foreign exchange savings from HYV T. Aman rice. Under various assumptions of shift multiplier and expenditure, the magnitude of the IRR varies from 64 to 122%. Following the Masters model the magnitude of IRR was 102%. Under various assumptions of the proportional shift multiplier and expenditure, the magnitude of IRR varies between 79% to 126%. Therefore, the variety BR11 has proved to be as an outstanding contributing variety for increasing rice production in Bangladesh.

description: In this contribution we present results from quenched QCD simulations with the parameterized fixed-point (FP) and the chirally improved (CI) Dirac operator. Both these operators are approximate solutions of the Ginsparg-Wilson equation and have good chiral properties. We focus our discussion on observables sensitive to chirality. In particular we explore pion masses down to 210 MeV in light hadron spectroscopy, quenched chiral logs, the pion decay constant and the pion scattering length. We discuss finite volume effects, scaling properties of the FP and CI operators and performance issues in their numerical implementation.

description: This paper is one of the few attempts to describe and analyze labor market issues relative to labor market participation and labor supply and demand for labor in rural Bangladesh at the time of the 1998 flood. It presents empirical estimates of the supply function of daily laborers and of the demand for labor in crop production using a panel data set of 750 households. The findings reveal a labor market characterized by low participation rate and low overt unemployment. The participation rate of females is particularly low and may be explained in part by the involvement of a large majority of females in housework and in school (for 10-14 years old). Among those who participate in the labor market, more than one-third were found to be daily laborers, who were mostly males aged between 25 to 54 years earning a daily wage rate varying from Tk. 55 to Tk. 60 including meals. The analysis of the demand for labor shows that hired labor was one-third of all labor used in the rural agricultural labor market and larger farmers (with 150 or more decimals of land) used more hired laborers than smaller farmers (with less than 50 decimals of land). Total labor use as well as labor demand per acre also increased from November '98, just after the flood to round 2 April, and the loss of labor demand suffered during the period of the flood was offset, at least to some extent, by higher demand and higher earnings in the period after the flood.

description: In this paper we study various forms of RG, applying them to the BFSS model of $N$ coincident D0-branes. Firstly, as a warm-up, we perform standard Wilsonian RG, investigating the conditions under which supersymmetry is preserved along the flow. Next, we develop a local RG scheme such that the cutoff is spacetime dependent, which could have further applications to studying QFT in curved spacetime. Finally, we test the conjecture put forward in arXiv:1305.3908 that the method of quantum RG could be the mechanism responsible for the gauge/gravity duality by applying it to the BFSS model, which has a known gravitational dual. Although not entirely conclusive some questions are raised about the applicability of quantum RG as a description of the AdS/CFT correspondence.
