description: У сучасному футболі процес селекції гравців набуває стратегічного значення для формування конкурентоспроможних команд. Традиційні методи відбору, що базуються переважно на інтуїтивних оцінках тренерів, перегляді відеозаписів та базовій статистиці, вже не задовольняють вимоги висококонкурентного спортивного середовища. Метою дослідження є розробка комплексної моделі відбору футболістів, яка поєднує цифрові інструменти (штучний інтелект, віртуальну реальність, візуалізацію даних) із психологічною оцінкою та індивідуалізованим аналізом. У роботі представлено багаторівневу систему селекції, що включає: AI-аналіз ігрової статистики та біомеханічних показників, візуалізаційне оцінювання стилю гри, скаутські звіти, VR-тестування когнітивних здібностей і фінальну інтегровану оцінку. Методологія дослідження базується на міждисциплінарному підході, що поєднує спортивну аналітику, психологію та інформаційні технології. Результати демонструють ефективність поєднання цифрових технологій для зменшення суб’єктивності, покращення прогнозованості і об'єктивізації процесу відбору. Зазначено переваги кожної технології, а також потенційні обмеження, пов’язані з вартістю, потребою в якісних даних та ризиком неправильної інтерпретації. У висновках наголошено, що впровадження сучасних цифрових технологій — штучного інтелекту, віртуальної реальності та візуалізації даних — забезпечує об'єктивність процесу відбору футболістів. Кожна з технологій виконує унікальну функцію в системі селекції, а їх поєднання створює умови для формування прозорого, науково обґрунтованого та комплексного підходу до оцінки потенціалу гравців. Водночас, підкреслено важливість подолання викликів, пов’язаних із вартістю впровадження, якістю вхідних даних і складністю інтерпретації результатів, що вимагає створення інтегрованої, адаптивної моделі відбору.

description: The assumptions we make about a dialogue partner's knowledge and communicative ability (i.e. our partner models) can influence our language choices. Although similar processes may operate in human-machine dialogue, the role of design in shaping these models, and their subsequent effects on interaction are not clearly understood. Focusing on synthesis design, we conduct a referential communication experiment to identify the impact of accented speech on lexical choice. In particular, we focus on whether accented speech may encourage the use of lexical alternatives that are relevant to a partner's accent, and how this is may vary when in dialogue with a human or machine. We find that people are more likely to use American English terms when speaking with a US accented partner than an Irish accented partner in both human and machine conditions. This lends support to the proposal that synthesis design can influence partner perception of lexical knowledge, which in turn guide user's lexical choices. We discuss the findings with relation to the nature and dynamics of partner models in human machine dialogue.

description: We continue to study a model of disordered interface growth in two dimensions. The interface is given by a height function on the sites of the one--dimensional integer lattice and grows in discrete time: (1) the height above the site $x$ adopts the height above the site to its left if the latter height is larger, (2) otherwise, the height above $x$ increases by 1 with probability $p_x$. We assume that $p_x$ are chosen independently at random with a common distribution $F$, and that the initial state is such that the origin is far above the other sites. Provided that the tails of the distribution $F$ at its right edge are sufficiently thin, there exists a nontrivial composite regime in which the fluctuations of this interface are governed by extremal statistics of $p_x$. In the quenched case, the said fluctuations are asymptotically normal, while in the annealed case they satisfy the appropriate extremal limit law.

Year: 2024

description: Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) are hybrid systems, composed of computational and physical components. Enabling the transitioning from strict hierarchical architectural design to decentralization requires coordination and adaptivity. In this talk, we review our recent research efforts on enabling adaptive CPS by adapting organizations of system elements at run-time. This approach is supplemented by adjusting inter-element coordination at run-time. We discuss how coordination mechanisms from multiagent research benefit CPS development and outline work in progress towards the integration in industrial settings.

description: We show that the physics of deformation in $α$-, $β$-, and $6,6,12$-graphyne is, despite their significantly more complex lattice structures, remarkably close to that of graphene, with inhomogeneously strained graphyne described at low energies by an emergent Dirac-Weyl equation augmented by strain induced electric and pseudo-magnetic fields. To show this we develop two continuum theories of deformation in these materials: one that describes the low energy degrees of freedom of the conical intersection, and is spinor valued as in graphene, and one describing the full sub-lattice space. The spinor valued continuum theory agrees very well with the full continuum theory at low energies, showing that the remarkable physics of deformation in graphene generalizes to these more complex carbon architectures. In particular, we find that deformation induced pseudospin polarization and valley current loops, key phenomena in the deformation physics of graphene, both have their counterpart in these more complex carbon materials.

Using this case study, we demonstrate how to efficiently conduct long-term time-series data analysis involving a large volume of data using various data services developed at NASA GES DISC, such as Giovanni, data rods, and TDS. We also introduce the products useful for extreme events and climate change studies and demonstrate how to cite the dataset DOIs appropriately. The Python notebooks used for generating the plots are included as well.

description: This paper examines the Laplace equation with mixed boundary conditions, the Neumann and Steklov boundary conditions. This models a container with holes in it, like a pond filled with water but partly covered by immovable pieces on the surface. The main objective is to determine the right extent of the covering pieces, so that any shock inside the container yields a resonance. To this end, an algorithm is developed which uses asymptotic formulas concerning perturbations of the partitioning of the boundary pieces. Proofs for these formulas are established. Furthermore, this paper displays some results concerning bounds and examples with regards to the governing problem.

description: Most parameter constraints obtained from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data are based on power estimates and rely on approximate likelihood functions; computational difficulties generally preclude an exact analysis based on pixel values. With the specific goal of testing this kind of approach, we have performed a complete (un-approximated) likelihood analysis combining the COBE, Saskatoon and MAX data sets. We examine in detail the ability of certain approximate techniques based on band-power estimates to recover the full likelihood constraints. The traditional $χ^2$-method does not always find the same best-fit model as the likelihood analysis (a bias), due mainly to the false assumption of Gaussian likelihoods that makes the method overly sensitive to data outliers. Although an improvement, other approaches employing non-Gaussian flat-band likelihoods do not always faithfully reproduce the complete likelihood constraints either; not even when using the exact flat-band likelihood curves. We trace this to the neglect of spectral information by simple flat band-power estimates. A straightforward extension incorporating a local effective slope (of the power spectrum, $C_l$) provides a faithful representation of the likelihood surfaces without significantly increasing computing cost. Finally, we also demonstrate that the best-fit model to this particular data set is a {\em good fit}, or that the observations are consistent with Gaussian sky fluctuations, according to our statistic.

description: Hard and soft classification techniques are the conventional ways of image classification on satellite data. These classifiers have number of drawbacks. Firstly, these approaches are inappropriate for mixed pixels. Secondly, these approaches do not consider spatial variability. Kriging based soft classifier (KBSC) is a non-parametric geostatistical method. It exploits the spatial variability of the classes within the image. This letter compares the performance of KBSC with other conventional hard/soft classification techniques. The satellite data used in this study is the Wide Field Sensor (WiFS) from the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite -1D (IRS-1D). The ground hyperspectral signatures acquired from the agricultural fields by a hand held spectroradiometer are used to detect subpixel targets from the satellite images. Two measures of closeness have been used for accuracy assessment of the KBSC to that of the conventional classifications. The results prove that the KBSC is statistically more accurate than the other conventional techniques.

Constraining the past X-ray luminosity of AGN in clusters of galaxies: the role of resonant scattering

description: Only a small fraction of galactic nuclei in the nearby universe are luminous; most of them are currently dim. We investigate the feasibility of constraining the X-ray luminosity in the recent past (up to ~10^6 years ago) of the nucleus of a cluster dominant galaxy by measuring the contribution of scattered radiation from the central source to the surface brightness of the intracluster gas dominated by thermal emission. We show that resonance X-ray lines present an advantage over the adjacent continuum, because the relative contribution of the scattered component is typically larger in the line case by a significant factor of 3-10. As an example, we estimate the level of constraint that could be derived from future fine spectroscopic observations on the past X-ray luminosity of the nearby M87 and Cygnus A active galaxies. For instance, scattered line radiation should be detectable from the Virgo cluster if the X-ray luminosity of M87 was a few times 10^44 erg s^-1, or 10^-3 of its Eddington luminosity, until a few times 10^5 years ago. For comparison, upper limits inferred from the available XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray continuum data are typically 1-2 orders of magnitude weaker. The same method can be applied to distant powerful quasars (at redshifts z~1 if they have cluster-like gaseous coronae, as suggested by Rosat and Chandra observations of active galaxies at z<1. Their surface brightness profiles in the X-ray continuum above ~10 keV>>kT/(1+z) (where T is the gas temperature) should be dominated by redshifted scattered radiation from the quasar. Therefore, measurements with forthcoming mirror-optics hard X-ray telescopes could give information on the lifetime of quasars and parameters of the hot gas around them.

description: We investigate variations of the mass transfer rate in cataclysmic variables (CVs) that are induced by nova outbursts. The ejection of nova shells leads to a spread of transfer rates in systems with similar orbital period. The effect is maximal if the specific angular momentum in the shell is the same as the specific orbital angular momentum of the white dwarf. We show analytically that in this case the nova-induced widening of the mass transfer rate distribution can be significant if the system, in the absence of nova outbursts, is close to mass transfer instability (i.e., within a factor of ~1.5 of the critical mass ratio). Hence the effect is negligible below the period gap and for systems with high-mass white dwarfs. At orbital periods between about 3 and 6 hrs the width of the mass transfer rate distribution exceeds an order of magnitude if the mass accreted on the white dwarf prior to the runaway is larger than a few 10^{-4} M_sun. At a given orbital period in this range, systems with the highest transfer rate should on average have the largest ratio of donor to white dwarf mass. We show results of population synthesis models which confirm and augment the analytic results.

description: We report on the spectral analysis of the X-ray pulsar LMC X-4 in its high state out of eclipse observed by BeppoSAX. During this observation no coherent pulsations are detected. The primary continuum is well described by a power law with a high energy cutoff (E_cutoff ~ E_fold ~ 18 keV). The addition of a cyclotron absorption line at ~100 keV improves the fit significantly. The inferred magnetic moment is 1.1 10^{31} Gauss cm^3, in agreement with the value estimated assuming that the neutron star is at the spin equilibrium, as it has been proposed for this source. The remaining excess at low energies can be fitted by a Comptonization of soft photons by moderately hot electrons (kT ~0.9 keV), with an optical depth τ~ 16. The seed photons for this Comptonization are consistent with black body emission from the accretion disk at the magnetospheric radius. Another possibility is to fit the soft excess with black body and thermal bremsstrahlung. In this case the black body would originate from cold plasma at the magnetosphere while the bremsstrahlung component may be produced by the strong stellar wind from the companion star, ionized by the X-ray emission from the pulsar.

description: With SIRTF and NGST in the offing, it is interesting to examine what the stellar populations of z~3 galaxies models imply for the existence and nature of Lyman-break galaxies at higher redshift. To this end, we ``turn back the clock'' on the stellar population models that have been fit to optical and infrared data of Lyman-break galaxies at z~3. The generally young ages (typically 10^8 +- 0.5 yr) of these galaxies imply that their stars were not present much beyond z=4. For smooth star-formation histories SFR(t) and Salpeter IMFs, the ionizing radiation from early star-formation in these galaxies would be insufficient to reionize the intergalactic medium at z~6, and the luminosity density at z~4 would be significantly lower than observed. We examine possible ways to increase the global star-formation rate at higher redshift without violating the stellar-population constraints at z~3.

Possible 38 day X-ray period of KS1731-260

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report the detection of a 38 day period in the X-ray flux of the transient burster KS1731-260. The narrow peak of periodicity was detected during ~TJD 10150--11050 when the source had a high and relatively stable X-ray flux. After TJD 11100 the source became strongly variable on a time scale of months that contaminates the search for the 38 day periodicity. The detected period can not be a binary period. The binary with Roche lobe overflow has in this case large radii of the secondary and of the accretion disk. Disk and secondary star illumination by X-ray flux from luminous neutron star would lead to high infrared brightness of the binary. That clearly contradicts the infrared data even for the brightest infrared sources within CHANDRA error box of KS1731-260. Remaining possibility is that observed periodicity is connected with the accretion disk precession, similar to that was observed for SS 433, Her X-1, Cyg X-1 etc.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)

description: The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) serves as a summary of a binary classifier's performance. Methods for estimating the AUC have been developed under a binormality assumption which restricts the distribution of the score produced by the classifier. However, this assumption introduces an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter and can be inappropriate, especially in the context of machine learning. This motivates us to adopt a model-free Gibbs posterior distribution for the AUC. We present the asymptotic Gibbs posterior concentration rate, and a strategy for tuning the learning rate so that the corresponding credible intervals achieve the nominal frequentist coverage probability. Simulation experiments and a real data analysis demonstrate the Gibbs posterior's strong performance compared to existing methods based on a rank likelihood.

description: Genus Gramenca n. gen.
 TYPE SPECIES. — Gramenca prima n. gen., n. sp.
ETYMOLOGY. — The generic name is derived from the Latin word “gramen” meaning “grass” and refers to the habitat of the type species. Gender feminine.
 DIAGNOSIS AND AFFINITIES. — Small spider, body length c. 3 mm, carapace high. This genus is characterised by the very large epigyne, the form of which is unique (see description of species). The structure of the female genitalia resembles those of the probably related genus Parajotus Peckham & Peckham, 1903, but epigynal pockets are in different position, they are situated more anteriorly and wider spaced. Gramenca n. gen. differs also in the presence of accessory glands.

description: Genus Lamottella n. gen.
 TYPE SPECIES. — Lamottella longipes n. gen., n. sp.
ETYMOLOGY. — The new genus is dedicated to Prof. M. Lamotte, an ecologist and an outstanding specialist on frogs, who initiated and led the early scientific expeditions to the Nimba Mountains. Gender feminine.
 DIAGNOSIS AND AFFINITIES. — Medium sized spider, body length c. 5.5 mm. Eye field large, carapace convex, chelicerae big, maxillae long, sternum short and wide, legs long. Especially long first legs, their femora with protruding setae on ventral surface. This genus is characterised by the very long first legs and the unique structure of the male copulatory organ (see description of species). Relatively simple structure of the male genitalia and modified habitus do not provide adequate base for drawing conclusions on the relationships of the genus.

Optimization of grazing incidence mirrors and its application to surveying X-ray telescopes

description: Grazing incidence mirrors for X-ray astronomy are usually designed in the parabola-hyperbola (Wolter I) configuration. This design allows for optimal images on-axis, which however degrade rapidly with the off-axis angle. Mirror surfaces described by polynomia (with terms higher than order two), have been put forward to improve the performances over the field of view. Here we present a refined procedure aimed at optimizing wide-field grazing incidence telescopes for X-ray astronomy. We improve the angular resolution over existing (wide-field) designs by ~ 20%. We further consider the corrections for the different plate scale and focal plane curvature of the mirror shells, which sharpen by another ~ 20% the image quality. This results in a factor of ~ 2 reduction in the observing time needed to achieve the same sensitivity over existing wide-field designs and of ~ 5 over Wolter I telescopes. We demonstrate that such wide-field X-ray telescopes are highly advantageous for deep surveys of the X-ray sky.

description: We propose a new deep learning method for tumour segmentation when dealing with missing imaging modalities. Instead of producing one network for each possible subset of observed modalities or using arithmetic operations to combine feature maps, our hetero-modal variational 3D encoder-decoder independently embeds all observed modalities into a shared latent representation. Missing data and tumour segmentation can be then generated from this embedding. In our scenario, the input is a random subset of modalities. We demonstrate that the optimisation problem can be seen as a mixture sampling. In addition to this, we introduce a new network architecture building upon both the 3D U-Net and the Multi-Modal Variational Auto-Encoder (MVAE). Finally, we evaluate our method on BraTS2018 using subsets of the imaging modalities as input. Our model outperforms the current state-of-the-art method for dealing with missing modalities and achieves similar performance to the subset-specific equivalent networks.

Is Cosmic Acceleration Really Recent?

Year: 2002

description: In the standard cosmological paradigm cosmic acceleration is to only be a very recent (viz. $z \leq 1$) phenomenon, with the universe being required to be decelerating at all higher redshifts. We suggest that this particular expectation of the standard model is to be viewed as a quite definitive test not only of the model itself but also of the fine-tuning assumption on which the expectation is based, with the expectation itself actually being readily amenable to testing once the Hubble plot can be extended out to only $z=2$ or so. Moreover, such a modest extension of the Hubble plot will also provide for definitive testing of the non fine-tuned alternate conformal gravity theory, a theory in which the universe is to accelerate both above and below $z=1$.

Testing Quintessence models with large-scale structure growth

Year: 2001

description: We explore the possibility of putting constraints on quintessence models with large-scale structure observations. In particular we compute the linear and second order growth rate of the fluctuations in different flavors of quintessence scenarios. We show that effective models of quintessence (e.g. with a constant equation of state) do not account of the results found in more realistic scenarios. The impact of these results on observational quantities such as the shape of the non-linear power spectrum in weak lensing surveys or the skewness of the convergence field are investigated. It appears that the observational signature of quintessence models are specific and rather large. They clearly cannot be mistaken with a change of (Ω_{0}).

Iron K-alpha Emission from X-ray Reflection: Predictions for Gamma-Ray Burst Models

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Recent observations of several gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows have shown evidence for a large amount of X-ray line emitting material, possibly arising from ionized iron. A significant detection of an X-ray spectral feature, such as that found in the Chandra observation of GRB 991216, may provide important constraints on the immediate environment of the burst and hence on progenitor models. The large Fe K-alpha equivalent widths inferred from the X-ray observations favor models in which the line is produced when the primary X-ray emission from the source strikes Thomson-thick material and Compton scatters into our line of sight. We present such reflection spectra here, computed in a fully self-consistent manner, and discuss the range of ionization parameters that may be relevant to different models of GRBs. We argue that the presence of a strong hydrogen-like K-alpha line is unlikely, because Fe-XXVI photons would be trapped resonantly and removed from the line core by Compton scattering. In contrast, a strong narrow emission line from He-like Fe-XXV is prominent in the model spectra. We briefly discuss how these constraints may affect the line energy determination in GRB 991216.

description: Under explicit diophantine conditions on $(α,β)\in\RR^2$, we prove that the local two-point correlations of the sequence given by the values $(m-α)^2+\break (n-β)^2$, with $(m,n)\in\ZZ^2$, are those of a Poisson process. This partly confirms a conjecture of Berry and Tabor [2] on spectral statistics of quantized integrable systems, and also establishes a particular case of the quantitative version of the Oppenheim conjecture for inhomogeneous quadratic forms of signature (2,2). The proof uses theta sums and Ratner's classification of measures invariant under unipotent flows.
