description: Bitcoins and Blockchain technologies are attracting the attention of different scientific communities. In addition, their widespread industrial applications and the continuous introduction of cryptocurrencies are also stimulating the attention of the public opinion. The underlying structure of these technologies constitutes one of their core concepts. In particular, they are based on peer-to-peer networks. Accordingly, all nodes lie at the same level, so that there is no place for privileged actors as, for instance, banking institutions in classical financial networks. In this work, we perform a preliminary investigation on two kinds of network, i.e. the Bitcoin network and the Bitcoin Cash network. Notably, we analyze their global structure and we try to evaluate if they are provided with a small-world behavior. Results suggest that the principle known as 'fittest-gets-richer', combined with a continuous increasing of connections, might constitute the mechanism leading these networks to reach their current structure. Moreover, further observations open the way to new investigations into this direction.

description: We consider an arbitrary int-amplified surjective endomorphism $f$ of a normal projective variety $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$ and its $f^{-1}$-stable prime divisors. We extend the early result for the case of polarized endomorphisms to the case of int-amplified endomorphisms. Assume further that $X$ has at worst Kawamata log terminal singularities. We prove that the total number of $f^{-1}$-stable prime divisors has an optimal upper bound $\dim X+ρ(X)$, where $ρ(X)$ is the Picard number. Also, we give a sufficient condition for $X$ to be rationally connected and simply connected. Finally, by running the minimal model program (MMP), we prove that, under some extra conditions, the end product of the MMP can only be an elliptic curve or a single point.

description: As the precursor of vitamin A, β-carotene has a positive effect on reproductive performance. Our previous study has shown that β-carotene can increase antioxidant enzyme activity potentially through regulating gut microbiota in pregnant sows. This study aimed to clarify the effect of β-carotene on reproductive performance and postpartum uterine recovery from the aspect of inflammation and gut microbiota by using a mouse model. Twenty-seven 6 weeks old female Kunming mice were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n=9), and fed with a diet containing 0, 30 or 90 mg/kg β-carotene, respectively. The results showed that dietary supplementation of β-carotene reduced postpartum uterine hyperaemia and uterine mass index (P<0.05), improved intestinal structure, decreased serum levels of TNF-α and IL-4 (P<0.05), while showed no significant effect on litter size and litter weight. Characterization of gut microbiota revealed that β-carotene up-regulated the relative abundance of genera Akkermansia, Candidatus Stoquefichus and Faecalibaculum, but down-regulated the relative abundance of Alloprevotella and Helicobacter. Correlation analysis revealed that Akkermansia was negatively correlated with the IL-4 level, while Candidatus Stoquefichus and Faecalibaculum had a negative linear correlation with both TNF-α and IL-4 levels. On the other hand, Alloprevotella was positively correlated with the TNF-α, and Helicobacter had a positive correlation with both TNF-α and IL-4 levels. These data demonstrated that dietary supplementation of β-carotene contributes to postpartum uterine recovery by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines potentially through modulating gut microbiota

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

We demonstrate, in the general case also, that the equivalence cannot be established without the third term in the three-term photon propagator in light cone gauge.

description: Higher order derivative theories, generally suffer from instabilities, known as Ostrogradsky instabilities. This issue can be resolved by removing any existing degeneracy present in such theories. We consider a model involving at most second order derivatives of scalar field non-minimally coupled to curvature terms. Here we perform (3+1) decomposition of Lagrangian to separate second order time derivative form the rest. This is useful to check the degeneracy hidden in the Lagrangian will help us to find conditions under which Ostrogradsky instability do not appear. In our case, we find no such non trivial conditions which can stop the appearance of the Ostrogradsky ghost.

Effect of screening of the Coulomb interaction on the conductivity in the quantum Hall regime

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We study variable range hopping in the quantum Hall effect regime in the presence of a metallic gate parallel to the plane of a two-dimensional electron gas. Screening of the Coulomb interaction by the gate causes the partial ``filling'' of the Coulomb gap in the density of localized states. At low enough temperatures this leads to a substantial enhancement and a new temperature behavior of the hopping conductivity. As a result, the diagonal conductivity peaks become much wider. The power law dependence of the width of the peaks on the temperature changes: the corresponding exponent turns out to be twice as small as that for gateless structures. The width dependences on the current in non-ohmic regime and on the frequency for the absorption of the electromagnetic waves experience a similar modification. The experimental observation of the crossovers predicted may demonstrate the important role of the Coulomb interaction in the integer quantum Hall regime.

description: Battery cost is among the largest barriers to mainstream adoption of electric vehicles. This dissertation examines near future battery technology and cost by (1) validating existing physics-based battery performance models using laboratory testing and manufacturer specifications, (2) constructing battery design optimization and production cost models to identify the least-cost design and investigating how key design-decision variables affect performance and cost for a variety of vehicle power and energy requirements, and (3) conducting expert elicitation on future battery costs and the key factors that drive cost. The validation, cost, and optimization modeling work use LiNi0.33Co0.33Mn0.33O2/LixC6 (NMC-G) as the chemistry of choice. Validation results of Battery Design Studio™ (BDS) a Li-ion battery modeling software indicated that BDS predictions of total energy delivered under our constant C-rate battery discharge tests are within 6.5% of laboratory measurements for a full discharge and within 2.8% when a 60% state of charge window is considered. Once validated, BDS is used to develop a power meta-model that predicts the 10–sec power capability of a cell design as a function of its capacity (Ah) and cathode coating thickness (microns). The production cost model is a process-based model and is constructed adopting process step information from existing literature. Subsequently, an optimization model is developed which estimates the cheapest cost battery pack design for a set of five different electrified vehicles (EVs) whereby the role of design-decision variables like cathode coating thickness is investigated among others. The energy and power requirements for the EVs, used as constraints in the optimization model, are calculated using the Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT). Battery pack costs calculated are in the range of costs reported in the literature. Results indicate that higher capacity cells manufactured using higher electrode coating thicknesses can decrease manufacturing costs by 5-8%. Results suggest that economies of scale can be reached at a plant size of about 200MWh. Expert elicitation indicates that a variation of NMC-G is likely to be the cheaper cell-chemistry by 2018 with no major technological breakthroughs. Some experts also expect manufacturing improvements resulting in higher electrode coating thicknesses and cell capacities expected by 2018.

description: A substantial influence of the proximity and pair breaking effects on the range of internal phase differences is shown to take place in symmetric double Josephson junctions with closely spaced interfaces and to affect the evolution of the supercurrent j with the changing central lead's length L. If the phase difference phi between the external leads is controlled and L exceeds a few coherence lengths, the regime of interchanging modes is established. The range of the phase differences across the two individual interfaces is reduced with decreasing L, and the states of the higher energy mode are gradually eliminated. With a further decrease of L the regime of interchanging modes is destroyed along with the asymmetric mode. The conventional single junction current-phase relation j(phi) is eventually established and the condensate states' doubling is fully removed at very small L.

description: We consider Callan, Giddings, Harvey and Strominger's (CGHS) two dimensional dilatonic gravity with electromagnetic interactions. This model can be also solved classically. Among the solutions describing static black holes, there exist extremal solutions which have zero temperatures. In the extremal solutions, the space-time metric is not singular. We also obtain the solutions describing charged matter (chiral fermions) collapsing into black holes. Through the collapsing, not only future horizon but past horizon is also shifted. The quantum corrections including chiral anomaly are also discussed. In a way similar to CGHS model, the curvature singularity also appeared, except extremal case, when the matter collapsing. The screening effects due to the chiral anomaly have a tendency to cloak the singularity

description: Many critics believe that Sylvia Plath‟s productions in general and her poetry in particular are mere reflections of her personal and private life, which by she finds a comfortable medium to transmit her agonies and despair. Therefore, in order to deepen our understanding of her poetry, some critics assert, we need to equip ourselves with some biographical sketches of her life, for biographical criticism assumes a strong bond between the artist and her/his literary offspring. “Every author”, says J.W. Von Goethe, “in some way portrays himself in his works” (Gillespie 20); each single poem of her/his creation mirrors a certain incident or personal affair. Thus it would be easier for us to reach conclusions if we understood the writer‟s world before delving into her/his works. But if we really confine ourselves to the authors' lives and experiences, the text‟s door of explanations and interpretations will be closed, narrowing itself into a closed window of one conclusion opened only by the author.

description: Temporal action recognition always depends on temporal action proposal generation to hypothesize actions and algorithms usually need to process very long video sequences and output the starting and ending times of each potential action in each video suffering from high computation cost. To address this, based on boundary sensitive network we propose a new temporal convolution network called Multipath Temporal ConvNet (MTN), which consists of two parts i.e. Multipath DenseNet and SE-ConvNet. In this work, one novel high performance ring parallel architecture based on Message Passing Interface (MPI) is further introduced into temporal action proposal generation, which is a reliable communication protocol, in order to respond to the requirements of large memory occupation and a large number of videos. Remarkably, the total data transmission is reduced by adding a connection between multiple computing load in the newly developed architecture. It is found that, compared to the traditional Parameter Server architecture, our parallel architecture has higher efficiency on temporal action detection task with multiple GPUs, which is suitable for dealing with the tasks of temporal action proposal generation, especially for large datasets of millions of videos. We conduct experiments on ActivityNet-1.3 and THUMOS14, where our method outperforms other state-of-art temporal action detection methods with high recall and high temporal precision. In addition, a time metric is further proposed here to evaluate the speed performance in the distributed training process.

Quadric-Based Polygonal Surface Simplification

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: 89999 Information and Computing Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Many applications in computer graphics and related fields can benefit from
automatic simplification of complex polygonal surface models. Applications are
often confronted with either very densely over-sampled surfaces or models too
complex for the limited available hardware capacity. An effective algorithm
for rapidly producing high-quality approximations of the original model is a
valuable tool for managing data complexity.
In this dissertation, I present my simplification algorithm, based on iterative
vertex pair contraction. This technique provides an effective compromise
between the fastest algorithms, which often produce poor quality results, and
the highest-quality algorithms, which are generally very slow. For example, a
1000 face approximation of a 100,000 face model can be produced in about 10
seconds on a PentiumPro 200. The algorithm can simplify both the geometry
and topology of manifold as well as non-manifold surfaces. In addition to
producing single approximations, my algorithm can also be used to generate
multiresolution representations such as progressive meshes and vertex hierarchies
for view-dependent refinement.
The foundation of my simplification algorithm, is the quadric error metric
which I have developed. It provides a useful and economical characterization of
local surface shape, and I have proven a direct mathematical connection between
the quadric metric and surface curvature. A generalized form of this metric can
accommodate surfaces with material properties, such as RGB color or texture
coordinates.
I have also developed a closely related technique for constructing a hierarchy
of well-defined surface regions composed of disjoint sets of faces. This algorithm
involves applying a dual form of my simplification algorithm to the dual graph
of the input surface. The resulting structure is a hierarchy of face clusters which
is an effective multiresolution representation for applications such as radiosity.
Online learning over a finite action set with limited switching

description: This paper studies the value of switching actions in the Prediction From Experts (PFE) problem and Adversarial Multi-Armed Bandits (MAB) problem. First, we revisit the well-studied and practically motivated setting of PFE with switching costs. Many algorithms are known to achieve the minimax optimal order of $O(\sqrt{T \log n})$ in expectation for both regret and number of switches, where $T$ is the number of iterations and $n$ the number of actions. However, no high probability (h.p.) guarantees are known. Our main technical contribution is the first algorithms which with h.p. achieve this optimal order for both regret and switches. This settles an open problem of [Devroye et al., 2015], and directly implies the first h.p. guarantees for several problems of interest. Next, to investigate the value of switching actions at a more granular level, we introduce the setting of switching budgets, in which algorithms are limited to $S \leq T$ switches between actions. This entails a limited number of free switches, in contrast to the unlimited number of expensive switches in the switching cost setting. Using the above result and several reductions, we unify previous work and completely characterize the complexity of this switching budget setting up to small polylogarithmic factors: for both PFE and MAB, for all switching budgets $S \leq T$, and for both expectation and h.p. guarantees. For PFE, we show the optimal rate is $\tildeΘ(\sqrt{T\log n})$ for $S = Ω(\sqrt{T\log n})$, and $\min(\tildeΘ(\tfrac{T\log n}{S}), T)$ for $S = O(\sqrt{T \log n})$. Interestingly, the bandit setting does not exhibit such a phase transition; instead we show the minimax rate decays steadily as $\min(\tildeΘ(\tfrac{T\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{S}}), T)$ for all ranges of $S \leq T$. These results recover and generalize the known minimax rates for the (arbitrary) switching cost setting.

description: The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), whose final version AMS-02 is to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years, is a detector designed to measure charged cosmic ray spectra with energies up to the TeV region and with high energy photon detection capability up to a few hundred GeV, using state-of-the art particle identification techniques. It is equipped with several subsystems, one of which is a proximity focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector equipped with a dual radiator (aerogel+NaF), a lateral conical mirror and a detection plane made of 680 photomultipliers and light guides, enabling precise measurements of particle electric charge and velocity (Delta beta / beta ~ 10^-3 and 10^-4 for Z=1 and Z=10-20, respectively) at kinetic energies of a few GeV/nucleon. Combining velocity measurements with data on particle rigidity from the AMS-02 Tracker (Delta R / R ~ 2% for R=1-10 GV) it is possible to obtain a reliable measurement for particle mass. One of the main topics of the AMS-02 physics program is the search for indirect signatures of dark matter. Experimental data indicate that dark, non-baryonic matter of unknown composition is much more abundant than baryonic matter, accounting for a large fraction of the energy content of the Universe. Apart from antideuterons produced in cosmic-ray propagation, the annihilation of dark matter will produce additional antideuteron fluxes. Detailed Monte Carlo simulations of AMS-02 have been used to evaluate the detector's performance for mass separation, a key issue for anti-D/anti-p separation. Results of these studies are presented.

description: We investigate the possible connection between the most massive globular clusters, such as $ω$ Cen and M54, and nuclear star clusters of dwarf galaxies that exhibit similar spreads in age and metallicity. We examine galactic nuclei in cosmological galaxy formation simulations at $z \approx 1.5$ to explore whether their age and metallicity spreads could explain these massive globular clusters. We derive structural properties of these nuclear regions, including mass, size, rotation, and shape. By using theoretical supernova yields to model the supernova enrichment in the simulations, we obtain individual elemental abundances for Fe, O, Na, Mg, and Al. Our nuclei are systematically more metal-rich than their host galaxies, which lie on the expected mass-metallicity relation. Some nuclei have a spread in Fe and age comparable to the massive globular clusters of the Milky Way, lending support to the hypothesis that nuclear star clusters of dwarf galaxies could be the progenitors of these objects. None of our nuclear regions contain the light element abundance spreads that characterize globular clusters, even when a large age spread is present. Our results demonstrate that extended star formation history within clusters, with metal pollution provided solely by supernova ejecta, is capable of replicating the metallicity spreads of massive globular clusters, but still requires another polluter to produce the light element variations.

The selected regions exhibit low dust emission at 353 GHz and low total reddening compared to the majority of high-latitude sightlines. We measure the level of systematic uncertainty for all observing epochs and find it to be 0.1\% in fractional linear polarization, $p$. The majority of individual stellar measurements are non-detections. However, our survey strategy enables us to locate the mean fractional linear polarization $p_{mean}$ in each of the three regions. The region with lowest dust content yields $p_{mean}=(0.054 \pm 0.038) \%$, not significantly different from zero. We find significant detections for the remaining two regions of: $p_{mean}=(0.113 \pm 0.036) \%$ and $p_{mean}=(0.208 \pm 0.044) \%$. Using a Bayesian approach we provide upper limits on the intrinsic spread of the small-scale distributions of $q$ and $u$. At the detected $p_{mean}$ levels, the determination of the systematic uncertainty is critical for the reliability of the measurements. We verify the significance of our detections with statistical tests, accounting for all sources of uncertainty. Using publicly available HI emission data, we identify the velocity components that most likely account for the observed $p_{mean}$ and find their morphologies to be misaligned with the orientation of the mean plane-of-sky magnetic field at a spatial resolution of 10$\arcmin$. We find indications that the standard upper envelope of $p$ with reddening underestimates the maximum $p$ at very low E(B-V) ($\leq 0.01$ mag).

description: We consider the problem of two-player zero-sum games. This problem is formulated as a min-max Markov game in the literature. The solution of this game, which is the min-max payoff, starting from a given state is called the min-max value of the state. In this work, we compute the solution of the two-player zero-sum game utilizing the technique of successive relaxation that has been successfully applied in the literature to compute a faster value iteration algorithm in the context of Markov Decision Processes. We extend the concept of successive relaxation to the setting of two-player zero-sum games. We show that, under a special structure on the game, this technique facilitates faster computation of the min-max value of the states. We then derive a generalized minimax Q-learning algorithm that computes the optimal policy when the model information is not known. Finally, we prove the convergence of the proposed generalized minimax Q-learning algorithm utilizing stochastic approximation techniques, under an assumption on the boundedness of iterates. Through experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

description: We have studied the $P\toγ^\starγ^\star$ transition form-factors ($P=π^0,η,η'$) within a chiral invariant framework that allows us to relate the three form-factors and evaluate the corresponding contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_μ$, through pseudoscalar pole contributions. We use a chiral invariant Lagrangian to describe the interactions between the pseudo-Goldstones from the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and the massive meson resonances. We will consider just the lightest vector and pseudoscalar resonance multiplets. Photon interactions and flavor breaking effects are accounted for in this covariant framework. This article studies the most general corrections of order $m_P^2$ within this setting. Requiring short-distance constraints fixes most of the parameters entering the form-factors, consistent with previous determinations. The remaining ones are obtained from a fit of these form-factors to experimental measurements in the space-like ($q^2\le0$) region of photon momenta. The combination of data, chiral symmetry relations between form-factors and high-energy constraints allows us to determine with improved precision the on-shell $P$-pole contribution to the Hadronic Light-by-Light scattering of the muon anomalous magnetic moment: we obtain $a_μ^{P,HLbL}=(8.47\pm 0.16)\cdot10^{-10}$ for our best fit. This result was obtained excluding BaBar $π^0$ data, which our analysis finds in conflict with the remaining experimental inputs. This study also allows us to determine the parameters describing the $η-η'$ system in the two-mixing angle scheme and their correlations. Finally, a preliminary rough estimate of the impact of loop corrections ($1/N_C$) and higher vector multiplets (asym) enlarges the uncertainty up to $a_μ^{P,HLbL} = (8.47\pm 0.16_{\rm sta}\pm0.09_{1/N_C}{}^{+0.5}_{-0.0}{}_{\rm asym})\cdot 10^{-10}$.

Loops in the Curvature Matrix Model

description: Macroscopic loop correlators are investigated in the hermitian one matrix model with the potential perturbed by the higher order curvature term. In the phase of smooth surfaces the model is equivalent to the minimal conformal matter coupled to gravity. The properties of the model in the intermediate phase are similar to that of the discretized bosonic string with the central charge $C > 1.$ Loop correlators describe the effect of the splitting of the random surfaces. It is shown, that the properties of the surfaces are changed in the intermediate phase because the perturbation modifies the spectrum of the scaling operators.

description: The Philippines was one of the pioneers in the establishment of Islamic banking in 1974 through the creation of Philippine Amanah Bank. However, the Bank has been struggling from various challenges including low public awareness and lack of regulatory framework. This study aims to explore the attitudes of the Muslim society in the Philippines towards Islamic banking and to determine the factors that influence their attitudes in choosing Islamic banking. The study also examines how Islamic banking in the country can realize its potentials in enhancing the socio-economic conditions of Muslim communities. Through convenient sampling technique, self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 250 respondents from Muslim populations who are bank account holders in either Islamic or conventional banks. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed. The results revealed that Muslim society has positive attitudes towards Islamic banking in the country. Their attitudes towards the selection of Islamic banking products and services are considerably influenced by the factors such as opportunities that Islamic banking can provide to society, awareness towards Islamic banking, religious motivation, bank reputation, and product and marketing strategies of an Islamic bank. Moreover, Islamic banking has potentials to enhance the socio-economic conditions of Muslim society in the country through financial inclusion and microfinance. Hence, the findings of this study suggest that Islamic bank in the country can devise innovative strategies to target the factors that influence the attitudes of the Muslim society towards the selection of Islamic banking.
Improved determination of color-singlet nonrelativistic QCD matrix elements for S-wave charmonium

description: We present a new computation of S-wave color-singlet nonrelativistic QCD matrix elements for the J/psi and the eta_c. We compute the matrix elements of leading order in the heavy-quark velocity v and the matrix elements of relative order v^2. Our computation is based on the electromagnetic decay rates of the J/psi and the eta_c and on a potential model that employs the Cornell potential. We include relativistic corrections to the electromagnetic decay rates, resumming a class of corrections to all orders in v, and find that they significantly increase the values of the matrix elements of leading order in v. This increase could have important implications for theoretical predictions for a number of quarkonium decay and production processes. The values that we find for the matrix elements of relative order v^2 are somewhat smaller than the values that one obtains from estimates that are based on the velocity-scaling rules of nonrelativistic QCD.

description: The Cloud infrastructure has become an ideal platform for large-scale applications, such as Video-on-Demand (VoD). As VoD systems migrate to the Cloud, new challenges emerge. The complexity of the Cloud system due to virtualization and resource sharing complicates the Quality of Experience (QoE) management. Operational failures in the Cloud can lead to session crashes. In addition to the Cloud, there are many other systems involved in the large-scale video streaming. These systems include the Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), multiple transit networks, access networks, and user devices. Anomalies in any of these systems can affect users’ Quality of Experience (QoE). Identifying the anomalous system that causes QoE degradation is challenging for VoD providers due to their limited visibility over these systems. We propose to apply end user QoE in the management and control of large-scale VoD systems in the Cloud. We present a QoE-based management and control systems and validate them in production Clouds. QMan, a QoE based Management system for VoD in the Cloud, controls the server selection adaptively based on user QoE. QWatch, a scalable monitoring system, detects and locates anomalies based on the end-user QoE. QRank, a scalable anomaly identification system, identifies the anomalous systems causing QoE anomalies. The proposed systems are developed and evaluated in production Clouds (Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Amazon Web Service). QMan provides 30% more users with QoE above the “good” Mean Opinion Score (MOS) than existing server selection systems. QMan discovers operational failures by QoE based server monitoring and prevents streaming session crashes. QWatch effectively detects and locates QoE anomalies in our extensive experiments in production Clouds. We find numerous false positives and false negatives when system metric based anomaly detection methods are used. QRank identifies anomalous systems causing 99.98% of all QoE anomalies among transit networks, access networks and user devices. Our extensive experiments in production Clouds show that transit networks are the most common bottleneck causing QoE anomalies. Cloud provider should identify bottleneck transit networks and determine appropriate peering with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to bypass these bottlenecks.
