description: Novel bis(acridinium-porphyrin) tweezers were designed as multi-responsive arrays containing two Zn(II) porphyrins, as coordinating sites, and two acridinium ions as switching units. In the present work we report on the spectroscopic characterization of the complexation process among the bis(acridinium-porphyrin) conjugates and a meso-(5,10,15,20-tetra(4′-pyridyl)porphyrin, and on the photophysical characterization of the related host-guest complexes, in order to explore the use of the tweezers as receptors for photoactive hosts.

description: Security in computer networks is one of the most interesting aspects of computer systems. It is typically represented by the initials CIA: confidentiality, integrity, and authentication or availability. Although, many access levels for data protection have been identified in computer networks, the intruders would still find lots of ways to harm sites and systems. The accommodation proceedings and the security supervision in the network systems, especially wireless sensor networks have been changed into a challenging point. One of the newest security algorithms for wireless sensor networks is Artificial Immune System (AIS) algorithm. Human lymphocytes play the main role in recognizing and destroying the unknown elements. In this article, we focus on the inspiration of these defective systems to guarantee the complications security using two algorithms; the first algorithms proposed to distinguish self-nodes from non-self ones by the related factors and the second one is to eliminate the enemy node danger.The results showed a high rate success and good rate of detecting for unknown object; it could present the best nodes with high affinity and fitness to be selected to confront the unknown agents.

description: A solid state mechanism for cooling high-current cables is proposed based on the Ettingshausen effect, i.e. the transverse thermoelectric cooling generated in magnetic fields. The intense current running in the cable generates a strong magnetic field around it, that can be exploited by a small current running in a coating layer made out of a strong "thermomagnetic" material to induce a temperature difference between the cable core and the environment. Both analytical calculations and realistic numerical simulations for Bismuth coatings in typical magnetic fields are presented. The latter yield temperature drops ~60K and >100K for a single- and double-layer coating respectively. These encouraging results should stimulate the search for better thermomagnetic materials, in view of applications such as self-cooled superconducting cables working at room temperature.

description: Consider an $n \times p$ data matrix $X$ whose rows are independently sampled from a population with covariance $Σ$. When $n,p$ are both large, the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix are substantially different from those of the true covariance. Asymptotically, as $n,p \to \infty$ with $p/n \to γ$, there is a deterministic mapping from the population spectral distribution (PSD) to the empirical spectral distribution (ESD) of the eigenvalues. The mapping is characterized by a fixed-point equation for the Stieltjes transform. We propose a new method to compute numerically the output ESD from an arbitrary input PSD. Our method, called Spectrode, finds the support and the density of the ESD to high precision; we prove this for finite discrete distributions. In computational experiments it outperforms existing methods by several orders of magnitude in speed and accuracy. We apply Spectrode to compute expectations and contour integrals of the ESD. These quantities are often central in applications of random matrix theory (RMT). We illustrate that Spectrode is directly useful in statistical problems, such as estimation and hypothesis testing for covariance matrices. Our proposal may make it more convenient to use asymptotic RMT in aspects of high-dimensional data analysis.
Holographic dark energy in the DGP braneworld with GO cutoff

description: We consider the holographic dark energy (HDE) model in the framework of DGP braneworld with Granda-Oliveros infrared (IR) cutoff, $L=(α\dot{H}+βH^2)^{-1/2}$. With this choice for IR cutoff, we are able to derive evolution of the cosmological parameters such as the equation of state and the deceleration parameters, $w$ and $q$, as the functions of the redshift parameter $z$. As far as we know, most previous models of HDE presented in the literatures, do not gives analytically $ω=ω(z)$ and $q=q(z)$. We plot the evolution of these parameters versus $z$ and discuss that the results are compatible with the recent observations. With suitably choosing the parameters, this model can exhibit a transition from deceleration to the acceleration around $z\approx 0.6$. Then, we suggest a correspondence between the quintessence and tachyon scalar fields and HDE in the framework of DGP braneworld. This correspondence allows us to reconstruct the evolution of the scalar fields and the scalar potentials. We also investigate stability of the presented model by calculating the squared sound speed, $v^2_s$, whose sign determines the stability of the model. Our study shows that $v^2_s$ could be positive provided the parameters of the model are chosen suitably. In particular, for $α>1$, $β>0$, and $α<1$, $β<0$, we have $v^2_s>0$ during the history of the universe, and so the stable dark energy dominated universe can be achieved. This is in contrast to the HDE in standard cosmology, which is unstable against background perturbations and so cannot lead to a stable dark energy dominated universe.

description: We model both the photo-stationary state and dynamics of an illuminated, photo-sensitive, glassy liquid crystalline sheet. To illustrate the interplay between local tilt $θ$ of the sheet, effective incident intensity, curvature and dynamics, we adopt the simplest variation of local incident light intensity with angle, that is $\cosθ$. The tilt in the stationary state never overshoots the vertical, but maximum curvature could be seen in the middle of the sheet for intense light. In dynamics, overshoot and self-eclipsing arise, revealing how important moving fronts of light penetration are. Eclipsing is qualitatively as in the experiments of Ikeda and Yu (2003).

description: Computational countercurrent flow investigation in the structured packed column is a multiscale problem. Multiphase flow studies using volume of fluid (VOF) method in the representative elementary unit (REU) of the packed column can insight into the local hydrodynamics such as interfacial area, film thickness, etc. The interfacial area dictates the mass transfer in absorption process and thereby overall efficiency of column. Impacts of solvent's physical properties, liquid loads and static contact angle (SCA) on the interfacial area were examined earlier. In the present study, the dynamic contact angle (DCA) was used to explore the impact of contact angle hysteresis on the interfacial area. DCA has more pronounced impact on the interfacial area (10%) for aqueous solvent of 0.10M Sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The interfacial area shows undulation and does not achieve the pseudo-steady state. In contrary, the interfacial area gets a net pseudo-steady value for the aqueous solvent having 40% monoethanolamine (MEA) by weight. The wetting hysteresis was also explored via simulations conducted with initially dry and wetted sheets. For 0.10M NaOH aqueous solvent, the initially wetted sheets lead to slightly higher value of the interfacial area (10%) as compared to the initially dry sheets at the same liquid load and DCA. As expected, wetting hysteresis reduces with increasing liquid loads. On the other hand, wetting hysteresis is not significant for 40% MEA aqueous solvent which might be lower surface tension and higher viscosity. Overall, the effect of the dynamic contact angle is not pronounced as compared to those found in a flat surface.

description: Alessandro Cifariello Jews and “living space” during the reign of Tsar Alexander II This is the first of a series of papers written in Italian, English, and Russian, devoted to the publication of material not included in the Author’s 2009 dissertation entitled Judeophobia and the Anti-Nihilistic Novel in Russia at the End of the 19th Century. Taking as a point of departure works by leading scholars, such as Israel Bartal, Cesare G. De Michelis, Jonathan Frankel, John D. Klier, Dan Miron, Benjamin Nathans, Laura Salmon, Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern, and Yuri Slezkine, this article aims at offering some new perspectives on the Pale of Settlement and on the history and culture of Russian Jewry during the reign of Alexander II. It highlights the laws and reforms concerning Russian Jews implemented by the Tsar’s government, and their fallout on Russian culture. The Author analyzes Jewish geography, urban space, history, legislation, reforms, society, cultural convergences and differences in the Pale of Settlement. The paper concludes with information about the 1881-1882 Russian pogroms and about how certain Jewish inhabitants of the Pale of Settlement then emigrated towards Central and Western Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. The paper discusses the commonplace of a separate Jewish space in the Pale envisaged in some late 19th and early 20th Century Yiddish literature, and describes the multicultural universe made up of several nationalities, one of which was in fact Russian Jewry, struggling for its rights and for full emancipation.

Continuous-variable quantum process tomography with squeezed-state probes

description: We propose a procedure for tomographic characterization of continuous variable quantum operations which employs homodyne detection and single-mode squeezed probe states with a fixed degree of squeezing and anti-squeezing and a variable displacement and orientation of squeezing ellipse. Density matrix elements of a quantum process matrix in Fock basis can be estimated by averaging well behaved pattern functions over the homodyne data. We show that this approach can be straightforwardly extended to characterization of quantum measurement devices. The probe states can be mixed, which makes the proposed procedure feasible with current technology.

Symbol of Undetermined Faith. A Note on Aleksej Kručënyx’s Vowel Poem “Heights”
Creators: name: Crnković, Denis
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2011

description: Denis Crnković “Symbol of Undetermined Faith: A Note on Aleksej Kručënyx’s Vowel Poem ‘Heights’” This article looks at Aleksej Kručënyx’s poem “Vysoty” (Heights). Consisting entirely of vowels culled from the Church Slavic version of the “Symvol Very” (the eastern Nicene Creed) the poem has been traditionally examined as a prime example of the transrational expression (zaum’) of the Futurist movement. As such, analyses have tended to focus on the phonic and phonemic features of the poem with little attention paid to the relationship between the source text and the poem itself. Thus, “missing” or “transferred” vowels in the poem have often been regarded as mistakes or dismissed as the result of Kručënyx’s artistic whim. The paper therefore examines the poem in the context of its Church Slavic antecedent, concentrating on those places where the vowels of the poem diverge from those of the Creed. A close analysis of the apparent anomalies between poem and prayer reveals a sophisticated level of word-play that hinges on a complete understanding of the source text and the manipulation of the source vowels. Moreover, our research shows that in the broader context of the antipathy between the Symbolist and Futurist movements, each missing or transposed vowel constitutes a crucial hint for grasping a hidden significance in the poem and for understanding Kručënyx’s revamped statement of belief as a playful new literary “creed” that challenges the more “orthodox” literary tenets of the Symbolist poets.

Weak and strong electronic correlations in Fe superconductors

description: In this chapter the strength of electronic correlations in the normal phase of Fe-superconductors is discussed. It will be shown that the agreement between a wealth of experiments and DFT+DMFT or similar approaches supports a scenario in which strongly-correlated and weakly-correlated electrons coexist in the conduction bands of these materials. I will then reverse-engineer the realistic calculations and justify this scenario in terms of simpler behaviors easily interpreted through model results. All pieces come together to show that Hund's coupling, besides being responsible for the electronic correlations even in absence of a strong Coulomb repulsion is also the origin of a subtle emergent behavior: orbital decoupling. Indeed Hund's exchange decouples the charge excitations in the different Iron orbitals involved in the conduction bands thus causing an independent tuning of the degree of electronic correlation in each one of them. The latter becomes sensitive almost only to the offset of the orbital population from half-filling, where a Mott insulating state is invariably realized at these interaction strengths. Depending on the difference in orbital population a different 'Mottness' affects each orbital, and thus reflects in the conduction bands and in the Fermi surfaces depending on the orbital content.

description: In this paper, we firstly extend the physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to learn data-driven stationary and non-stationary solitons of 1D and 2D saturable nonlinear Schrödinger equations (SNLSEs) with two fundamental PT-symmetric Scarf-II and periodic potentials in optical fibers. Secondly, the data-driven inverse problems are studied for PT-symmetric potential functions discovery rather than just potential parameters in the 1D and 2D SNLSEs. Particularly, we propose a modified PINNs (mPINNs) scheme to identify directly the PT potential functions of the 1D and 2D SNLSEs by the solution data. And the inverse problems about 1D and 2D PT -symmetric potentials depending on propagation distance z are also investigated using mPINNs method. We also identify the potential functions by the PINNs applied to the stationary equation of the SNLSE. Furthermore, two network structures are compared under different parameter conditions such that the predicted PT potentials can achieve the similar high accuracy. These results illustrate that the established deep neural networks can be successfully used in 1D and 2D SNLSEs with high accuracies. Moreover, some main factors affecting neural networks performance are discussed in 1D and 2D PT Scarf-II and periodic potentials, including activation functions, structures of the networks, and sizes of the training data. In particular, twelve different nonlinear activation functions are in detail analyzed containing the periodic and non-periodic functions such that it is concluded that selecting activation functions according to the form of solution and equation usually can achieve better effect.

description: Cell migration is a highly integrated multistep process that orchestrates embryonic morphogenesis; contributes to tissue repair and regeneration; and drives disease progression in cancer, mental retardation, atherosclerosis, and arthritis. The migrating cell is highly polarized with complex regulatory pathways that spatially and temporally integrate its component processes. This review describes the mechanisms underlying the major steps of migration and the signaling pathways that regulate them, and outlines recent advances investigating the nature of polarity in migrating cells and the pathways that establish it.

description: Dynamic time warping (DTW) is a well-known algorithm for time series elastic dissimilarity measure. Its ability to deal with non-linear time distortions makes it helpful in variety of data mining tasks. Such a task is also anomaly detection which attempts to reveal unexpected behaviour without false detection alarms. In this paper, we propose a novel anomaly detection method named Expert enhanced dynamic time warping anomaly detection (E-DTWA). It is based on DTW with additional enhancements involving human-in-the-loop concept. The main benefits of our approach comprise efficient detection, flexible retraining based on strong consideration of the expert's detection feedback while retaining low computational and space complexity.

description: It is well known that the number of distinct non-crossing matchings of $n$ half-circles in the half-plane with endpoints on the x-axis equals the $n^{th}$ Catalan number $C_n$. This paper generalizes that notion of linear non-crossing matchings, as well as the circular non-crossings matchings of Goldbach and Tijdeman, to non-crossings matchings of $n$ line segments embedded within an annulus. We prove that the number of such matchings $\vert Ann(n,m) \vert$ with $n$ exterior endpoints and $m$ interior endpoints correspond to an entirely new, one-parameter generalization of the Catalan numbers with $C_n = \vert Ann(1,m) \vert$. We also develop bijections between specific classes of annular non-crossing matchings and other combinatorial objects such as binary combinatorial necklaces and planar graphs. Finally, we use Burnside's Lemma to obtain an explicit formula for $\vert Ann(n,m) \vert$ for all $n,m \geq 0$.

description: In this work, we investigate the thermophysical properties of OSIRIS-REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu (hereafter, Bennu), where thermal inertia plays an important role in understanding the nature of the asteroid's surface, and will definitely provide substantial information for the sampling return mission. Using a thermophysical model incorporating the recently updated 3D radar-derived shape model \citep{Nolan2013} and mid-infrared observations of Spitzer-PUI, Spitzer-IRAC, Herschel/PACS and ESO VLT/VISIR \citep{Muller2012,Emery2014}, we derive the surface thermophysical properties of Bennu. The asteroid has an effective diameter of $510^{+6}_{-40}$ m, a geometry albedo of $0.047^{+0.0083}_{-0.0011}$, a roughness fraction of $0.04^{+0.26}_{-0.04}$, and thermal inertia of $240^{+440}_{-60}\rm~Jm^{-2}s^{-0.5}K^{-1}$ for a best-fit solution at 1$σ$ level. The best-estimate thermal inertia indicates that fine-grained regolith may cover a large area of Bennu's surface, with a grain size that may range from $1.3$ to $31$~mm, and our outcome further supports that Bennu would be a suitable target for the OSIRIS-REx mission to return samples from the asteroid to Earth.

Dimension reduction for model-based clustering

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We introduce a dimension reduction method for visualizing the clustering structure obtained from a finite mixture of Gaussian densities. Information on the dimension reduction subspace is obtained from the variation on group means and, depending on the estimated mixture model, on the variation on group covariances. The proposed method aims at reducing the dimensionality by identifying a set of linear combinations, ordered by importance as quantified by the associated eigenvalues, of the original features which capture most of the cluster structure contained in the data. Observations may then be projected onto such a reduced subspace, thus providing summary plots which help to visualize the clustering structure. These plots can be particularly appealing in the case of high-dimensional data and noisy structure. The new constructed variables capture most of the clustering information available in the data, and they can be further reduced to improve clustering performance. We illustrate the approach on both simulated and real data sets.

Nomi sintagmatici in russo

Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2011

description: Valentina Benigni, Francesca Masini Phrasal nouns in Russian Russian is a language with a very rich lexeme-formation system. Besides strictly morphological mechanisms (derivation and compounding), the Russian language also displays a wide number of so-called “phrasal lexemes”, namely constructions that have a phrasal structure, but are lexical in nature. These constructions are attested in a number of languages and can belong to different word classes, thus creating phrasal nouns, phrasal verbs, and so on. In this contribution we discuss the notion of “phrasal lexeme” and then concentrate on the identification and analysis of the main types of phrasal nouns in Russian. We single out at least four productive patterns for the creation of these phrasal nouns, distinguishing them formally from free phrases and nominal compounds. The single patterns are then described in more detail, from both a qualitative and a quantitative viewpoint, with the aid of data from corpora of contemporary Russian.

The book – the Author maintains – investigates some aspects of the history of our culture that were kept in dark by theologically oriented way of thinking; at the same time it gives evidence of the evolution of religious thinking that in principle hardly admits evolution. To conclude, the history of the lists of the names of God manifests itself as a powerful means for the investigation of the transformation old beliefs underwent in new cultural contexts in various epochs.

description: Fedora Ferluga Petronio To the Ends of Words… Comments on the Works of Drago Šimundža (On the Occasion of His 75th Birthday) This article is a tribute to Drago Šimundža on the occasion of his 75th birthday. A priest and currently pastoral vicar of the archbishop of Split, Drago Šimundža is an outstanding scholar, historian, philosopher, theologian, publicist and translator. His huge bibliography, which ranges over literature, literary criticism, theology, philosophy, sociology, pedagogy and journalistic information, consists of 12 volumes and over 860 articles where attention focuses on his two recently published volumes Bog u djelima hrvatskih pisaca. Vjera i nevjera u hrvatskoj književnosti 20. stoljeća (God In The Works Of The Croatian Writers: Religiousness and Non-religiousness In The Croatian Literature Of The 20th Century) by the Matica hrvatska, a volume of more than 748 pages, followed by the second one of 825 pages the next year in 2005. Hence in all two volumes that with their 1550 pages collect Šimundža’s critical thinking on the spiritual, metaphysical, religious and atheist, agnostic, non-religious aspects of the Croatian authors of the 20th century both in prose and poetry as well as drama. In this article other Šimundža’s activities are highlightened such as his work as managing editor for the theological and philosophic magazine Crkva u svijetu (The Church In The World) from 1969 to 1992 and the pastoral activity he has been doing within the Church both in administration and organization. The Author emphasizes the clarity of his literary criticism writings, his inborn intuition, his sharp critical and aesthetic instinct which involve both the expert and the common reader.

description: Speech Emotion recognition (SER) in call center conversations has emerged as a valuable tool for assessing the quality of interactions between clients and agents. In contrast to controlled laboratory environments, real-life conversations take place under uncontrolled conditions and are subject to contextual factors that influence the expression of emotions. In this paper, we present our approach to constructing a large-scale reallife dataset (CusEmo) for continuous SER in customer service call center conversations. We adopted the dimensional emotion annotation approach to capture the subtlety, complexity, and continuity of emotions in real-life call center conversations, while annotating contextual information. The study also addresses the challenges encountered during the application of the End-to-End (E2E) SER system to the dataset, including determining the appropriate label sampling rate and input segment length, as well as integrating contextual information (interlocutor's gender and empathy level) with different weights using multitask learning. The result shows that incorporating the empathy level information improved the model's performance.
Signalling bias in new drug discovery: Detection, quantification and therapeutic impact
Creators: name: Kenakin, Terrance

description: Agonists of seven-transmembrane receptors, also known as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), do not uniformly activate all cellular signalling pathways linked to a given seven-transmembrane receptor (a phenomenon termed ligand or agonist bias); this discovery has changed how high-throughput screens are designed and how lead compounds are optimized for therapeutic activity. The ability to experimentally detect ligand bias has necessitated the development of methods for quantifying agonist bias in a way that can be used to guide structure-activity studies and the selection of drug candidates. Here, we provide a viewpoint on which methods are appropriate for quantifying bias, based on knowledge of how cellular and intracellular signalling proteins control the conformation of seven-transmembrane receptors. We also discuss possible predictions of how biased molecules may perform in vivo, and what potential therapeutic advantages they may provide.

description: Silicene is a two-dimensional material, which is composed of a single layer of silicon atoms with sp2-sp3 mixed hybridization. The sp2-sp3 mixed hybridization renders silicene excellent reactive ability, facilitating the chemical modification of silicene. It has been demonstrated that chemical modification effectively enables the tuning of the properties of silicene. We now review all kind of chemical modification methods for silicene including hydrogenation, halogenation, organic surface modification, oxidation, doping and alloying. The effects of these chemical modification methods on the geometrical, electronic, optical and magnetic properties of silicene are discussed. The potential applications of chemically modified silicene in a variety of fields such as electronics, optoelectronics and magnetoelectronics are introduced. We finally envision future work on the chemical modification of silicene for the sake of further advancing the development of silicene.

description: We investigated the influence of isotropic strain on the type of the magnetic ground-state and the Fermi surface for the structurally-equivalent CeRuPO and CeOsPO crystals with slightly different lattice parameters. The two systems exhibit different magnetic orderings at zero strain. According to the phase diagram of CeRuPO under pressure the difference might be due to the different Ce-Ce inter-atomic distances. We applied {\it ab-initio} calculations based on the density-functional theory and the generalized-gradient approximation with an additional Coulomb repulsion (GGA+$U$), which indeed reveal a significant impact of the strain and the effective $U$ parameter on the magnetic ground state. However, it is demonstrated that the difference is more likely related to the details in the Fermi surface.
The valorisation of abandoned railway yards. The case of Milan

description: Milan’s urban growth was heavily influenced by the structure of the rail network for transporting goods and people. The great railway yards that used to service the industrial system have now lost their raison d'être after the relocation of industrial plants and the tertiary sector dynamics took over the city. These have become large abandoned brownfields or soon to be abandoned, totaling over 1,300,000 square meters, located mainly along the urban belt surrounding the city walls, often in densely built environments. Since 2005 these areas were the subject of several agreements between the City of Milan, State Railways SpA (FS) and the Lombardy Region, to examine various scenarios and the feasibility of their conversion, as confirmed in the draft of the new Territorial Government Plan (PGT), which identifies the Areas of Urban Transformation. Scenarios and assumptions that, in the current revision of the PGT, must approach the strategic role of this rich heritage from an environmental regeneration and valorization perspective extended to urban and metropolitan scales.

description: Although traffic is one of the massively collected data, it is often only available for specific regions. One concern is that, although there are studies that give good results for these data, the data from these regions may not be sufficiently representative to describe all the traffic patterns in the rest of the world. In quest of addressing this concern, we propose a speed prediction method that is independent of large historical speed data. To predict a vehicle's speed, we use the trajectory road topographical features to fit a Shared Weight Multilayer Perceptron learning model. Our results show significant improvement, both qualitative and quantitative, over standard regression analysis. Moreover, the proposed framework sheds new light on the way to design new approaches for traffic analysis.
Non-equilibrium quantum heat machines

description: Standard heat machines (engine, heat pump, refrigerator) are composed of a system ("working fluid") coupled to at least two equilibrium baths at different temperatures and periodically driven by an external device (piston or rotor) called sometimes work reservoir. The aim of this paper is to go beyond this scheme by considering environments which are stationary but cannot be decomposed into few baths at thermal equilibrium. Such situations are important, for example in solar cells, chemical machines in biology, various realizations of laser cooling or nanoscopic machines driven by laser radiation. We classify non-equilibrium baths depending on their thermodynamic behavior and show that the efficiency of heat machines operating under their influences is limited by a generalized Carnot bound.
The magical "Born Rule" & quantum "measurement": Implications for Physics

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: I. The arena of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory is the abstract, unobserved and unobservable, M-dimensional formal Hilbert space [not equal to] spacetime. II. The arena of observations and, more generally, of all events (i.e. everything) in the real physical world, is the classical 4-dimensional physical spacetime. III. The "Born Rule" is the random process "magically" transforming I. into II. Wavefunctions are superposed and entangled only in the abstract space I., never in spacetime II. Attempted formulations of quantum theory directly in real physical spacetime actually constitute examples of "locally real" theories, as defined by Clauser & Horne, and are therefore already empirically refuted by the numerous tests of Bell's theorem in real, controlled experiments in laboratories here on Earth. Observed quantum entities, i.e. events, are never superposed or entangled as they: 1) Exclusively "live" (manifest) in real physical spacetime, 2) Are not described by entangled wavefunctions after "measurement", effectuated by III. When separated and treated correctly in this way, a number of fundamental problems and "paradoxes" of quantum theory vs. relativity (i.e. spacetime) simply vanish, such as the black hole information paradox, infinite zero-point energy of quantum field theory and quantization of general relativity.

description: Construction of binary black hole initial data is a prerequisite for numerical evolutions of binary black holes. This paper reports improvements to the binary black hole initial data solver in the Spectral Einstein Code, to allow robust construction of initial data for mass-ratio above 10:1, and for dimensionless black hole spins above 0.9, while improving efficiency for lower mass-ratios and spins. We implement a more flexible domain decomposition, adaptive mesh refinement and an updated method for choosing free parameters. We also introduce a new method to control and eliminate residual linear momentum in initial data for precessing systems, and demonstrate that it eliminates gravitational mode mixing during the evolution. Finally, the new code is applied to construct initial data for hyperbolic scattering and for binaries with very small separation.

description: Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) discovered in soft-gamma repeaters (SGRs) are expected to help us to study the properties of matter in neutron stars. In earlier investigations, we identified the QPOs of frequencies below $\sim100$ Hz observed in giant flares of SGR 1806$-$20 and SGR 1900+14 as the crustal torsional oscillations. For this purpose, we calculated the frequencies of the fundamental torsional oscillations with various angular indices $\ell$, by changing the stellar mass and radius. In this work, we try to explain the additional QPO frequencies recently reported by Huppenkothen et al. (2014a,b) within the same framework as before except that we newly take into account the effect of electron screening, which acts to decrease the frequencies by a small amount. Those QPOs were discovered in two different SGRs, i.e., SGR 1806$-$20 and SGR J1550$-$5418. Then, we find that the newly observed QPO frequency in SGR 1806$-$20 can be still identified as one of the frequencies of the fundamental torsional oscillations, while those in SGR J1550$-$5418 can also be explained in terms of the torsional oscillations although the relevant angular indices are difficult to identify.

description: The field of Optimal Control under Partial Differential Equations (PDE) constraints is rapidly changing under the influence of Deep Learning and the accompanying automatic differentiation libraries. Novel techniques like Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Differentiable Programming (DP) are to be contrasted with established numerical schemes like Direct-Adjoint Looping (DAL). We present a comprehensive comparison of DAL, PINN, and DP using a general-purpose mesh-free differentiable PDE solver based on Radial Basis Functions. Under Laplace and Navier-Stokes equations, we found DP to be extremely effective as it produces the most accurate gradients; thriving even when DAL fails and PINNs struggle. Additionally, we provide a detailed benchmark highlighting the limited conditions under which any of those methods can be efficiently used. Our work provides a guide to Optimal Control practitioners and connects them further to the Deep Learning community.
