description: The paper considers models and mechanisms of resource allocation that are interpreted in a meaningful way either as problems of allocating costs for the implementation of a common project (program) between participants (investors) interested in this project, or as problems of distributing income or profits received from joint activities of several participants. Agents can be legal entities and individuals, as well as federal and local governments. Various mechanisms of distribution of costs (incomes) are given-priority, competitive, fair play mechanisms, etc.

description: We developed a decision-analytic model simulating 10,000 singleton pregnancies to assess the cost-effectiveness of three possible strategies for deployment of tenofovir for prevention of mother to child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in South Africa:
Strategy 1: no screening nor antiviral therapy;
Strategy 2: screening and antiviral prophylaxis for all women who test HBsAg-positive;
Strategy 3: screening for HBsAg, followed by HBeAg testing and antiviral prophylaxis for women who are HBsAg-positive and HBeAg-positive.
Our outcome was cost per infant HBV infection avoided and the analysis followed a healthcare perspective.

description: We present an approach to interface branching random walks with Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling, and to switch seamlessly between the two. The approach is discussed in the context of auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) but is applicable to other Monte Carlo calculations or simulations. In AFQMC, the formulation of branching random walks along imaginary-time is needed to realize a constraint to control the sign or phase problem. The constraint is derived from an exact gauge condition, and is in practice implemented approximately with a trial wave function or trial density matrix, which can break exactness in the algorithm. We use the generalized Metropolis algorithm to sample a selected portion of the imaginary-time path after it has been produced by the branching random walk. This interfacing allows a constraint release to follow seamlessly from the constrained-path sampling, which can reduce the systematic error from the latter. It also provides a way to improve the computation of correlation functions and observables that do not commute with the Hamiltonian. We illustrate the method in atoms and molecules, where improvements in accuracy can be clearly quantified and near-exact results are obtained. We also discuss the computation of the variance of the Hamiltonian and propose a convenient way to evaluate it stochastically without changing the scaling of AFQMC.

description: Block outlier detection methods, based on Tietjen-Moore (TM) and Shapiro-Wilk (SW) tests, are proposed to detect and suppress spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) attacks by malicious users in cooperative spectrum sensing. First, we consider basic and statistical SSDF attacks, where the malicious users attack independently. Then we propose a new SSDF attack, which involves cooperation among malicious users by masking. In practice, the number of malicious users is unknown. Thus, it is necessary to estimate the number of malicious users, which is found using clustering and largest gap method. However, we show using Monte Carlo simulations that, these methods fail to estimate the exact number of malicious users when they cooperate. To overcome this, we propose a modified largest gap method.

description: Symmetry protected topological phases exhibit nontrivial short-ranged entanglement protected by symmetry and cannot be adiabatically connected to trivial product states while preserving the symmetry. In contrast, intrinsic topological phases do not need ordinary symmetry to stabilize them and their ground states exhibit long-range entanglement. It is known that for a given symmetry group $G$, the 2D SPT phase protected by $G$ is dual to the 2D topological phase exemplified by the twisted quantum double model $D^ω(G)$ via gauging the global symmetry $G$. Recently it was realized that such a general gauging map can be implemented by some local unitaries and local measurements when $G$ is a finite, solvable group. Here, we review the general approach to gauging a $G$-SPT starting from a fixed-point ground-state wave function and applying a $N$-step gauging procedure. We provide an in-depth analysis of the intermediate states emerging during the N-step gauging and provide tools to measure and identify the emerging symmetry-enriched topological order of these states. We construct the generic lattice parent Hamiltonians for these intermediate states, and show that they form an entangled superposition of a twisted quantum double with an SPT ordered state. Notably, we show that they can be connected to the TQD through a finite-depth, local quantum circuit which does not respect the global symmetry of the SET order. We introduce the so-called symmetry branch line operators and show that they can be used to extract the symmetry fractionalization classes and symmetry defectification classes of the SET phases with the input data $G$ and $[ω]\in H^3(G,U(1))$ of the pre-gauged SPT ordered state. We illustrate the procedure of preparing and characterizing the emerging SET ordered states for some Abelian and non-Abelian examples such as dihedral groups $D_n$ and the quaternion group $Q_8$.

We show that the mass of the fabric interior to the orbital path influences the motion of the marble in a nontrivial way, and can even dominate the orbital characteristics. We also compare a Kepler-like expression for such orbits to similar expressions for orbits about a spherically-symmetric massive object in the presence of a constant vacuum energy, as described by general relativity.

description: Machine learning models are famously vulnerable to adversarial attacks: small ad-hoc perturbations of the data that can catastrophically alter the model predictions. While a large literature has studied the case of test-time attacks on pre-trained models, the important case of attacks in an online learning setting has received little attention so far. In this work, we use a control-theoretical perspective to study the scenario where an attacker may perturb data labels to manipulate the learning dynamics of an online learner. We perform a theoretical analysis of the problem in a teacher-student setup, considering different attack strategies, and obtaining analytical results for the steady state of simple linear learners. These results enable us to prove that a discontinuous transition in the learner's accuracy occurs when the attack strength exceeds a critical threshold. We then study empirically attacks on learners with complex architectures using real data, confirming the insights of our theoretical analysis. Our findings show that greedy attacks can be extremely efficient, especially when data stream in small batches.

description: Flavour-changing-neutral currents (FCNCs) involving the top quark are highly suppressed within the Standard Model (SM). Hence, any signal in current or planned future collider experiments would constitute a clear manifestation of physics beyond the SM. We propose a novel, interference-based strategy to search for top-quark FCNCs involving the $Z$ boson that has the potential to complement traditional search strategies due to a more favourable luminosity scaling. The strategy leverages on-shell interference between the FCNC and SM decay of the top quark into hadronic final states. We estimate the feasibility of the most promising case of anomalous $tZc$ couplings using Monte Carlo simulations and a simplified detector simulation. We consider the main background processes and discriminate the signal from the background with a deep neural network that is parametrised in the value of the anomalous $tZc$ coupling. We present sensitivity projections for the HL-LHC and the FCC-hh. We find an expected $95\%$ CL upper limit of $\mathcal{B}_{\mathrm{excl}}(t\rightarrow Zc) = 6.4 \times 10^{-5}$ for the HL-LHC. In general, we conclude that the interference-based approach has the potential to provide both competitive and complementary constraints to traditional multi-lepton searches and other strategies that have been proposed to search for $tZc$ FCNCs.

Linear Growth of the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability with an Adiabatic Cosmic-ray Gas

description: We investigate effects of cosmic-rays on the linear growth of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. Cosmic-rays are treated as an adiabatic gas and allowed to diffuse along magnetic field lines. We calculated the dispersion relation of the instability for various sets of two free parameters, the ratio of the cosmic-ray pressure to the thermal gas pressure and the diffusion coefficient. Including cosmic-ray effects, a shear layer is more destabilized and the growth rates can be enhanced in comparison with the ideal magnetohydrodynamical case. Whether the growth rate is effectively enhanced or not depends on the diffusion coefficient of cosmic-rays. We obtain the criterion for effective enhancement by comparing the growing time scale of the instability with the diffusion time scale of cosmic-rays. These results can be applied to various astrophysical phenomena where a velocity shear is present, such as outflows from star-forming galaxies, AGN jet, channel flows resulting from the nonlinear development of the magnetorotational instability, and galactic disks.

description: We present a survey of optically emitting supernova remnants (SNRs) in M31 based on H$α$ and [SII] images in the Local Group Survey. Using these images, we select objects that have [SII]:H$α$ $>$ 0.4 and circular shapes. We find 76 new SNR candidates. We also inspect 234 SNR candidates presented in previous studies, finding that only 80 of them are SNR candidates according to our criteria. Combining them with the new candidates, we produce a master catalog of 156 SNR candidates in M31. We classify these SNR candidates according to two criteria: the SNR progenitor type [Type Ia and core-collapse (CC) SNRs] and the morphological type. Type Ia and CC SNR candidates make up 23% and 77%, respectively, of the total sample. Most of the CC SNR candidates are concentrated in the spiral arms, while the Type Ia SNR candidates are rather distributed over the entire galaxy, including the inner region. The CC SNR candidates are brighter in H$α$ and [SII] than the Type Ia SNR candidates. We derive a cumulative size distribution of the SNR candidates, finding that the distribution of the candidates with 17 $< D

description: Rotations of axion fields in the early universe can produce dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. We point out that the rotation can generate an observable amount of a stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background. It can be doubly enhanced in a class of models in which the equation of state of the rotations rapidly changes from a non-relativistic matter-like one to a kination-like one by 1) the so-called poltergeist mechanism and 2) slower redshift of GWs compared to the axion kination fluid. In supersymmetric UV completion, future GW observations can probe the supersymmetry-breaking scale up to $10^7\,$GeV even if the axion does not directly couple to the Standard Model fields.

description: This paper is an introduction to diagrammatic methods for representing quantum processes and quantum computing. We review basic notions for quantum information and quantum computing. We discuss topological diagrams and some issues about using category theory in representing quantum computing and teleportation. We analyze very carefully the diagrammatic meaning of the usual representation of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and we show how it can be generalized to associate to each composition of unitary transformations a "laboratory quantum diagram" such that particles moving though the many alternate paths in this diagram will mimic the quantum process represented by the composition of unitary transformations. This is a finite dimensional way to think about the Feynman Path Integral. We call our representation result the Path Theorem. Then we go back to the basics of networks and matrices and show how elements of quantum measurement can be represented with network diagrams.

Alkuperältään eurooppalaisia lajeja on neljä: A. incana (harmaaleppä), A. cordata (italianleppä), A. glutinosa (tervaleppä) ja A. viridis (pensasleppä). Alkuperältään amerikkalaista punaleppää (A. rubra) on käytetty laajoihin istutuksiin myös joissain Euroopan maissa (Claessens, 2003). Pioneerilajina lepällä on tärkeä ekologinen roolinsa, sillä se kestää sekä korkeaa pohjavettä että ajoittaista tulvimista. Yleisin laji on A. glutinosa ja sitä esiintyy jopa 1800 km korkeudella.  Alnus glutinosa n kyky sietää märkyyttä tekee siitä ihanteellisen lajin jokialueille, joissa sen juuristo sitoo jokitörmien maata estäen eroosioita (Webber ym., 2004). Lepät parantavat myös maan huokoisuutta ja ravinteisuutta (symbioosi Frankia typensitojamikrobien kanssa), veden laatua (suodatus ja puhdistus) ja vaikuttavat jokitörmien eläimistöön. Monille linnuille ja hyönteisille olossuhteet rantalepikoissa ovat ihanteelliset ja sen vedenalainen juuristo tarjoaa kaloille turvapaikan. Alnus incana on yleinen leppälaji Keski- ja Itä-Euroopassa, etelässä se kasvaa pääosin vuoristoalueilla.Se uusiutuu juurivesoista ja kestää sekä kuivuutta että tulvia. Harmaaleppä on tärkeä pioneerilaji jokipenkoilla maan sitojana (Jung & Blaschke, 2004). A. cordata ja A. viridis ovat harvinaisempia kuin terva- ja harmaalepät. Italianleppä on kotoperäinen Korsikan ja Italian alueella, pensasleppä Keski-Euroopan vuoristoalueella (Claessens, 2003).

description: In the context of $F(ϕ)R$ models of gravity, the conformal invariance of the curvature perturbation on uniform-field slices has been already demonstrated in several publications. In this work we study the curvature perturbation $\mathcal{R}$ defined on hypersurfaces that comove with the effective fluid whose energy-momentum tensor is covariantly conserved. We derive the expressions of $\mathcal{R}$ at first order in perturbations in the Jordan and Einstein frames and relate the two. Generically $\mathcal{R}$ is not conformally invariant, but it is on sufficiently large scales during slow-roll inflation. Using our results we also rederive the expressions for inflation observables in the Jordan frame.

description: We present barium, carbon, and silicon isotopic compositions of 38 acid-cleaned presolar SiC grains from Murchison. Comparison with previous data shows that acid washing is highly effective in removing barium contamination. Strong depletions in $δ$($^{138}$Ba/$^{136}$Ba) values are found, down to $-$400 permil, which can only be modeled with a flatter $^{13}$C profile within the $^{13}$C pocket than is normally used. The dependence of $δ$($^{138}$Ba/$^{136}$Ba) predictions on the distribution of $^{13}$C within the pocket in AGB models allows us to probe the $^{13}$C profile within the $^{13}$C pocket and the pocket mass in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In addition, we provide constraints on the $^{22}$Ne$(α,n)^{25}$Mg rate in the stellar temperature regime relevant to AGB stars, based on $δ$($^{134}$Ba/$^{136}$Ba) values of mainstream grains. We found two nominally mainstream grains with strongly negative $δ$($^{134}$Ba/$^{136}$Ba) values that cannot be explained by any of the current AGB model calculations. Instead, such negative values are consistent with the intermediate neutron capture process ($i$-process), which is activated by the Very Late Thermal Pulse (VLTP) during the post-AGB phase and characterized by a neutron density much higher than the $s$-process. These two grains may have condensed around post-AGB stars. Finally, we report abundances of two $p$-process isotopes, $^{130}$Ba and $^{132}$Ba, in single SiC grains. These isotopes are destroyed in the $s$-process in AGB stars. By comparing their abundances with respect to that of $^{135}$Ba, we conclude that there is no measurable decay of $^{135}$Cs ($t_{1/2}$= 2.3 Ma) to $^{135}$Ba in individual SiC grains, indicating condensation of barium, but not cesium into SiC grains before $^{135}$Cs decayed.

description: To adapt the Interaction with Disabled Persons Scale (IDP) into Spanish and examine its factor structure. A forward and back translation of the IPD was performed by professional translators of scholarly articles. Spanish-speaking professional translators provided modifications in order to develop the final version of the scale. Participants filled in the Spanish version of the IDP, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Multidimensional Attitudes Scale toward persons with disabilities (MAS), and Semantic Differential Technique (SDT). A total of 523 persons (62.6% women), with a mean age of 29.22 (SD = 14.03) ranking from 18 to 81. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a reliable brief version of the IDP with adequate psychometric properties and two factors: (χ(19)2=28.98, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.91, RMSEA (90% IC)=0.05 (0.01, 0.08), SRMR = 0.06). The first factor solution was Coping/Succumbing Framework and the second factor was Discomfort in Social Interaction. The internal consistency reliability for the first factor was 0.63 and for the second 0.66. Our findings provide evidence of the psychometric properties of the IDP as a brief measure of attitude toward individual with special needs in Spanish population.Implications for rehabilitationThe Interaction with Disabled Persons Scale (IDP) was successfully translated into Spanish language.The Spanish version of IDP Scale has a good acceptability, acceptable internal consistency, and high test–retest reliability.The Spanish version of IDP can been used to assist the clinicians, educators, and researchers in identifying the attitudes of the Spanish population toward persons with functional diversity in Spanish.Identifying the attitudes will permit to improve the inclusion polity and to design social programs toward greater inclusion.

description: In this work, we reconstruct the Hubble diagram using various data sets, including correlated ones, in Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Using ReFANN, that was built for data sets with independent uncertainties, we expand it to include non-Guassian data points, as well as data sets with covariance matrices among others. Furthermore, we compare our results with the existing ones derived from Gaussian processes and we also perform null tests in order to test the validity of the concordance model of cosmology.

description: Longitudinal Dialogues (LD) are the most challenging type of conversation for human-machine dialogue systems. LDs include the recollections of events, personal thoughts, and emotions specific to each individual in a sparse sequence of dialogue sessions. Dialogue systems designed for LDs should uniquely interact with the users over multiple sessions and long periods of time (e.g. weeks), and engage them in personal dialogues to elaborate on their feelings, thoughts, and real-life events. In this paper, we study the task of response generation in LDs. We evaluate whether general-purpose Pre-trained Language Models (PLM) are appropriate for this purpose. We fine-tune two PLMs, GePpeTto (GPT-2) and iT5, using a dataset of LDs. We experiment with different representations of the personal knowledge extracted from LDs for grounded response generation, including the graph representation of the mentioned events and participants. We evaluate the performance of the models via automatic metrics and the contribution of the knowledge via the Integrated Gradients technique. We categorize the natural language generation errors via human evaluations of contextualization, appropriateness and engagement of the user.

description: The identification of material properties at high strain rates is of considerable technical interest, e.g., in applications for passenger safety-related parts which are expected to absorb energy in case of collisions. To additionally meet the requirements of a rapid and resource-efficient materials characterization, a novel highspeed hardness testing method based on laser-induced shock waves was investigated. The principal applicability of this laser-induced shockwave indentation technique for materials characterization at high strain rates is shown.

description: Despite notable improvements in the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) in recent years, residual porosity is still an issue. Near surface pores can affect the functional properties of PBF components, such as their fatigue life, yield strength, or corrosion behavior. To help address the challenge, this work shows that laser polishing decreases the surface roughness while also creating a highly dense sub-surface region of PBF parts with only microscale pores remaining.

description: The development of nanostructured hybrid systems is a flourishing area of research, which brings together chemistry, physics and materials science. These systems are composed of nanoparticles with interesting properties (e.g. optical, magnetic, catalytic) dispersed within an organic matrix. Control of both the position and orientation of the particles in a precise and reproducible way is an important goal. Towards this goal, the use of lyotropic liquid crystals as host phases is a promising strategy that has prompted sustained experimental work over the last decade. Here we briefly review this field, with an emphasis on the structure and the physical characterization of these novel materials.

description: Le genre Alnus (Betulaceae) comprend 35 espèces réparties dans l’hémisphère Nord (http://www.discoverlife.org). Il existe quatre espèces indigènes en Europe : A. incana (aulne blanc), A. cordata  (aulne de Corse ou d’Italie), A. glutinosa (aulne commun) et A. viridis (aulne vert). Par ailleurs, A. rubra indigène en Amérique du Nord a été massivement planté dans certains pays européens (Claessens, 2003). Alnus sp. joue un rôle écologique important. C’est une essence pionnière, qui tolère les niveaux élevés des eaux souterraines et les inondations périodiques. Elle est bien adaptée aux sites humides et joue un rôle primordial dans les écosystèmes ripicoles car son système racinaire stabilise les berges et réduit l’érosion (Webber et al., 2004).  Alnus glutinosa est l’espèce la plus répandue et est présente partout en Europe jusqu’à 1800 m d’altitude. L’aulne commun a un impact positif sur le sol (porosité, symbiose avec Frankia), sur la qualité de l’eau (filtration, purification) ainsi que sur la faune. Il contribue à augmenter la biodiversité des oiseaux, des insectes et ses racines constituent des niches à poissons. A. incana est largement présent en Europe central et de l’Est. Dans le sud, il pousse principalement dans les zones montagneuses. Tolérant aux périodes sèches et aux inondations, A. incana est une espèce très importante pour améliorer la stabilité des terrains en pente et des berges (Jung & Blaschke, 2004). A. cordata et A. viridis sont beaucoup moins fréquents et sont originaires de Corse et Italie et des montagnes de l’Europe central, respectivement (Claessens, 2003).

description: We study topological magnons on an anisotropic square-hexagon-octagon (SHO) lattice which has been found by a two-dimensional Biphenylene network (BPN). We propose the concepts of type-II Dirac magnonic states where new schemes to achieve topological magnons are unfolded without requiring the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions (DMIs). In the ferromagnetic states, the topological distinctions at the type-II Dirac points along with one-dimensional (1D) closed lines of Dirac magnon nodes are characterized by the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant. We find pair annihilation of the Dirac magnons and use the Wilson loop method to depict the topological protection of the band-degeneracy. The Green's function approach is used to calculte chiral edge modes and magnon density of states (DOS). We introduce the DMIs to gap the type-II Dirac magnon points and demonstrate the Dirac nodal loops (DNLs) are robust against the DMIs within a certain parameter range. The topological phase diagram of magnon bands is given via calculating the Berry curvature and Chern number. We find that the anomalous thermal Hall conductivity gives connection to the magnon edge current. Furthermore, we derive the differential gyromagnetic ratio to exhibit the Einstein-de Haas effect (EdH) of magnons with topological features.

description: The maximal sensitivity of the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm has enabled its wide use in biological sequence database search. Unfortunately, the high sensitivity comes at the expense of quadratic time complexity, which makes the algorithm computationally demanding for big databases. In this paper, we present SWAPHI, the first parallelized algorithm employing Xeon Phi coprocessors to accelerate SW protein database search. SWAPHI is designed based on the scale-and-vectorize approach, i.e. it boosts alignment speed by effectively utilizing both the coarse-grained parallelism from the many co-processing cores (scale) and the fine-grained parallelism from the 512-bit wide single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) vectors within each core (vectorize). By searching against the large UniProtKB/TrEMBL protein database, SWAPHI achieves a performance of up to 58.8 billion cell updates per second (GCUPS) on one coprocessor and up to 228.4 GCUPS on four coprocessors. Furthermore, it demonstrates good parallel scalability on varying number of coprocessors, and is also superior to both SWIPE on 16 high-end CPU cores and BLAST+ on 8 cores when using four coprocessors, with the maximum speedup of 1.52 and 1.86, respectively. SWAPHI is written in C++ language (with a set of SIMD intrinsics), and is freely available at http://swaphi.sourceforge.net.

description: LIPSS are subjected to excessive wear when exposed to direct contact in tribological applications. Therefore, precautions must be taken to increase LIPSS’ hardness and wear resistance while simultaneously preserving their properties like superhydrophilicity. This work shows that a firstly plasma nitrided and subsequently structured surface results in LIPSS of high nano-hardness (14.88 GPa ± 1.05 GPa) who show a super hydrophilic wetting behavior (contact angle of 7°). The results indicate that a previous nitriding could bring LIPSS into tribological applications.
Understanding Emotion Valence is a Joint Deep Learning Task

description: The valence analysis of speakers' utterances or written posts helps to understand the activation and variations of the emotional state throughout the conversation. More recently, the concept of Emotion Carriers (EC) has been introduced to explain the emotion felt by the speaker and its manifestations. In this work, we investigate the natural inter-dependency of valence and ECs via a multi-task learning approach. We experiment with Pre-trained Language Models (PLM) for single-task, two-step, and joint settings for the valence and EC prediction tasks. We compare and evaluate the performance of generative (GPT-2) and discriminative (BERT) architectures in each setting. We observed that providing the ground truth label of one task improves the prediction performance of the models in the other task. We further observed that the discriminative model achieves the best trade-off of valence and EC prediction tasks in the joint prediction setting. As a result, we attain a single model that performs both tasks, thus, saving computation resources at training and inference times.

description: The viscoelastic response of backsheet materials significantly affects the durability of the photovoltaic (PV) module. In this study, the viscoelastic response of commercially available backsheet materials is experimentally characterized and computationally modeled. An extensive viscoelastic experimental study on backsheet materials is carried out, considering the temperature-dependent properties for characterizing the mechanical properties. Based on an experimental campaign, small-strain viscoelastic models based on the Prony-series (PS) and Fractional Calculus (FC) Models are proposed here. The form of the constitutive equations for both models is summarized, and the finite element implementation is described in detail. Following identifications of relevant material parameters, we validate the model with the experimental data that shows good predictability. A comparative study of model responses under different loading conditions is also reported to assess the advantages and disadvantages of both models. Such an extensive experimental study and constitutive modeling will help design and simulate a more comprehensive modeling of PV modules, as illustrated by the benchmark problems.
