description: In a Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) analysis, redundant operators, which may be eliminated by using field redefinitions, emerge naturally. It is therefore important to include them. We consider a nonrelativisitic effective theory (the so-called ``pionless'' Nuclear Effective Field Theory) as a concrete example and show that the off-shell amplitudes cannot be renormalized if the redundant operators are not included. The relation between the theories with and without such redundant operators is established in the low-energy expansion. We perform a Wilsonian RG analysis for the \textit{off-shell} scattering amplitude in the theory with the redundant operator.

description: Null infinity in asymptotically flat spacetimes posses a rich mathematical structure; including the BMS group and the Bondi news tensor that allow one to study gravitational radiation rigorously. However, FLRW spacetimes are not asymptotically flat because their stress-energy tensor does not decay sufficiently fast and in fact diverges at null infinity. This class includes matter- and radiation-dominated FLRW spacetimes. We define a class of spacetimes whose structure at null infinity is similar to FLRW spacetimes: the stress-energy tensor is allowed to diverge and the conformal factor is not smooth at null infinity. Interestingly, for this larger class of spacetimes, the asymptotic symmetry algebra is similar to the BMS algebra but not isomorphic to it. In particular, the symmetry algebra is the semi-direct sum of supertranslations and the Lorentz algebra, but it does not have any preferred translation subalgebra. Future applications include studying gravitational radiation in FLRW the full nonlinear theory, including the cosmological memory effect, and also asymptotic charges in this framework.

description: We present a likelihood approach to modeling multi-dimensional GRB Epeak--fluence--redshift data that naturally incorporates instrument detection thresholds. The treatment of instrument thresholds is essential for analyzing evidence for GRB evolution. The method described here compares the data to a uniform jet model, in which the jet parameters are allowed to vary with redshift. Data from different experiments may be modeled jointly. In addition, BATSE data (for which no redshift information is available) may be incorporated by ascribing to each event a likelihood derived from the full model by integrating the probability density over the unknown redshift. The loss of redshift information is mitigated by the large number of available bursts. We discuss the implementation of the method, and validation of it using simulated data.

Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy of scandium monohalides
Creators: name: Lin, Wei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The microwave spectra of three scandium monohalides, ScF, ScCl and ScBr, have been measured and analysed for the first time, using Fourier Transform Microwave (FTMW) spectroscopy. The samples were studied while entrained in pulsed jets of argon. They were prepared by the reaction of a precursor gas (SF₆, Cl₂ , Br₂ ) in the argon with scandium plasma produced by laser ablation from a scandium rod. Scandium Monofluoride, ScF The J= 1-0 transition of ScF in the ground state was measured. The nuclear quadrupole coupling constant of Sc, the spin-rotation coupling constants of both Sc and F, and the nuclear spin-nuclear spin constant were determined for the first time. The hyperfine parameters have been interpreted to explain the bonding of ScF. Scandium Monochloride, ScCl The J= 1-0 and J= 2-1 transitions of two isotopomers of ScCl have been measured in the ground vibrational state, along with the same transitions for Sc³⁵Cl in the first excited vibrational state. Rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, nuclear quadrupole coupling constants and nuclear spin-rotation coupling constants for both nuclei, and nuclear spin-spin coupling constants have been determined. A new equilibrium bond length r[sub e] has been evaluated, along with the infrared vibration frequency. The dissociation energy, D[sub e], has also been estimated. Scandium Monobromide, ScBr The J= 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 transitions of ⁴⁵Sc⁷⁹Br and ⁴⁵Sc⁸¹Br have been measured in the ground vibrational states, along with the latter two transitions in the first excited vibrational states. This is the first high resolution spectroscopy of any kind carried out for this molecule. Precise rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants have been measured along with Sc and Br nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, spin-rotation constants and a Sc-Br spin-spin constant. An equilibrium bond length r[sub e] has been evaluated, along with the infrared vibration frequency. The dissociation energy, D[sub e], has also been estimated. A plausible rationale for the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants has been produced using the Townes-Dailey theory. The molecules are highly ionic, with ionic characters greater than 94% . Reasonable absolute ⁴⁵Sc quadrupole coupling constants and variations between molecules have been calculated using estimated constant values for eQq[sub n10] along with orbital populations based on ab initio values for ScO. These results have been found to be inconsistent with those based on populations from direct Hartree-Fock calculations for ScO, ScF and ScCl. However, since the calculation itself produced reasonable coupling constants, use of the Townes-Dailey theory for the Sc halides is questioned. Magnetic shieldings for all nuclei have been calculated from the spin-rotation constants. The nuclear spin-nuclear spin coupling constants are consistent with a direct magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between nuclei.

description: Proximity to a Mott insulating phase is likely to be an important physical ingredient of a theory that aims to describe high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates. Quantum cluster methods are well suited to describe the Mott phase. Hence, as a step towards a quantitative theory of the competition between antiferromagnetism (AFM) and d-wave superconductivity (SC) in the cuprates, we use Cellular Dynamical Mean Field Theory to compute zero temperature properties of the two-dimensional square lattice Hubbard model. The d-wave order parameter is found to scale like the superexchange coupling J for on-site interaction U comparable to or larger than the bandwidth. The order parameter also assumes a dome shape as a function of doping while, by contrast, the gap in the single-particle density of states decreases monotonically with increasing doping. In the presence of a finite second-neighbor hopping t', the zero temperature phase diagram displays the electron-hole asymmetric competition between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity that is observed experimentally in the cuprates. Adding realistic third-neighbor hopping t'' improves the overall agreement with the experimental phase diagram. Since band parameters can vary depending on the specific cuprate considered, the sensitivity of the theoretical phase diagram to band parameters challenges the commonly held assumption that the doping vs T_{c}/T_{c}^{max} phase diagram of the cuprates is universal. The calculated ARPES spectrum displays the observed electron-hole asymmetry. Our calculations reproduce important features of d-wave superconductivity in the cuprates that would otherwise be considered anomalous from the point of view of the standard BCS approach.

description: Diffuse filaments connect galaxy clusters to form the cosmic web. Detecting these filaments could yield information on the magnetic field strength, cosmic ray population and temperature of intercluster gas, yet, the faint and large-scale nature of these bridges makes direct detections very challenging. Using multiple independent all-sky radio and X-ray maps we stack pairs of luminous red galaxies as tracers for cluster pairs. For the first time, we detect an average surface brightness between the clusters from synchrotron (radio) and thermal (X-ray) emission with $\gtrsim 5σ$ significance, on physical scales larger than observed to date ($\geq 3\,$Mpc). We obtain a synchrotron spectral index of $α\simeq -1.0$ and estimates of the average magnetic field strength of $ 30 \leq B \leq 60 \,$nG, derived from both equipartition and Inverse Compton arguments, implying a 5 to 15$\,$per cent degree of field regularity when compared with Faraday rotation measure estimates. While the X-ray detection is inline with predictions, the average radio signal comes out higher than predicted by cosmological simulations and dark matter annihilation and decay models. This discovery demonstrates that there are connective structures between mass concentrations that are significantly magnetised, and the presence of sufficient cosmic rays to produce detectable synchrotron radiation.

The effects of 1-propanol, 2-propanol, NaCl, urea, and [beta]-D-fructose on the molecular organization of water
Creators: name: To, Eric Chun Hin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Excess partial molar enthalpies of 1-propanol, HIP[sup E], were measured directly and accurately in four ternary aqueous systems by titrating small increments of 1 -propanol into mixtures comprised of 1-propanol, H₂O, and a "third component" at 25°C. Firstly, in the 1-propanol - H₂O - 2-propanol mixtures, the enthalpic interaction function between 1-propanol molecules, H[sub 1P1P][sup E] , were evaluated. Based on the knowledge accumulated in our laboratory on the mixing behaviour of each solute on the hydrogen bond network of water, the result indicates that 1 -propanol and 2-propanol modify the molecular organization of water in an identical and additive manner. Secondly, in the 1 -propanol - H₂O - NaCl mixtures, the enthalpic interaction function suggests that though NaCl acts as a structure breaker, it also modifies the hydrogen bond network of water in a positively cooperative manner with 1-propanol, a relatively hydrophobic solute. However, the results also suggest that a NaCl molecule binds to 7 to 8 water molecules, which were made unavailable for 1-propanol to interact with. The remaining bulk water away from solute NaCl would interact with 1-propanol as it is pure water. Thirdly, in the 1-propanol- H₂O -Urea mixtures, the total vapour pressures of this ternary system were measured in addition to H[sub 1P][ sup E]. The Boissonnass method based on the Gibbs-Duhem relation were employed to calculate the partial pressures, excess chemical potentials of each component. Excess partial molar entropies of 1-propanol were then evaluated. Both enthalpic and entropic interaction functions imply that urea molecules blend themselves into the hydrogen bond network of water keeping the connectivity of the hydrogen bonds intact but concurrently the water mediated solute-solute interaction is reduced. Finally, the interactions of 1P-1P in terms of enthalpy and entropy, H[sub 1P1P][sup E] and S[sub 1P1P][sup E], respectively, in 1-propanol-H₂0-β-D-Fructose mixtures suggest that fructose and 1- propanol modify the hydrogen bond network of water in a positively cooperative manner, much like the 1-propanol-H₂O-Glycerol systems studied previously. However the different appearances in the interaction functions of fructose as compared to other solutes suggests that the solvation of fructose might involve different mixing mechanisms which are yet to be determined.

description: The Magellanic Clouds were known before Magellan's voyage exactly 500 years ago, and were not given that name by Magellan himself or his chronicler Antonio Pigafetta. They were, of course, already known by local populations in South America, such as the Mapuche and Tupi-Guaranis. The Portuguese called them Clouds of the Cape, and scientific circles had long used the name of Nubecula Minor and Major. We trace how and when the name Magellanic Clouds came into common usage by following the history of exploration of the southern hemisphere and the southern sky by European explorers. While the name of Magellan was quickly associated to the Strait he discovered (within about 20 years only), the Clouds got their final scientific name only at the end of the 19th century, when scientists finally abandoned Latin as their communication language.

description: The determination of atmospheric parameters of white dwarf stars (WDs) is crucial for researches on them. Traditional methodology is to fit the model spectra to observed absorption lines and report the parameters with the lowest $χ^2$ error, which strongly relies on theoretical models that are not always publicly accessible. In this work, we construct a deep learning network to model-independently estimate Teff and log g of DA stars (DAs), corresponding to WDs with hydrogen dominated atmospheres. The network is directly trained and tested on the normalized flux pixels of full optical wavelength range of DAs spectroscopically confirmed in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Experiments in test part yield that the root mean square error (RMSE) for Teff and log g approaches to 900 K and 0.1 dex, respectively. This technique is applicable for those DAs with Teff from 5000 K to 40000 K and log g from 7.0 dex to 9.0 dex. Furthermore, the applicability of this method is verified for the spectra with degraded resolution $\sim 200$. So it is also practical for the analysis of DAs that will be detected by the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST).
Dual-Refinement: Joint Label and Feature Refinement for Unsupervised Domain Adaptive Person Re-Identification

description: Unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) person re-identification (re-ID) is a challenging task due to the missing of labels for the target domain data. To handle this problem, some recent works adopt clustering algorithms to off-line generate pseudo labels, which can then be used as the supervision signal for on-line feature learning in the target domain. However, the off-line generated labels often contain lots of noise that significantly hinders the discriminability of the on-line learned features, and thus limits the final UDA re-ID performance. To this end, we propose a novel approach, called Dual-Refinement, that jointly refines pseudo labels at the off-line clustering phase and features at the on-line training phase, to alternatively boost the label purity and feature discriminability in the target domain for more reliable re-ID. Specifically, at the off-line phase, a new hierarchical clustering scheme is proposed, which selects representative prototypes for every coarse cluster. Thus, labels can be effectively refined by using the inherent hierarchical information of person images. Besides, at the on-line phase, we propose an instant memory spread-out (IM-spread-out) regularization, that takes advantage of the proposed instant memory bank to store sample features of the entire dataset and enable spread-out feature learning over the entire training data instantly. Our Dual-Refinement method reduces the influence of noisy labels and refines the learned features within the alternative training process. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin.

description: The Trifid nebula (M20) is a well-known prominent optical HII region trisected by bands of obscuring dust lanes and excited by an O7.5 star HD 164492A. Previous near-IR, mid-IR and radio continuum observations of the cluster of stars at the center of the Trifid nebula indicated circumstellar disks associated with hot stars with envelopes that are photoionized externally by the UV radiation from the hot central star, HD 164492A. Using WFPC2 of the HST, we present evidence of a resolved proplyd in H$α$ and [SII] line emission from a stellar source emitting cool dust emission. Using UKIRT, an infrared observation of the stellar source with a proplyd indicates a late F -- mid G spectral type. We also note a remarkable complex of filamentary and sheet-like structures which appear to arise from the edge of a protostellar condensation. These observations are consistent with a picture in which the bright massive star HD 164492A is responsible for the photoevaporation of protoplanetary disks of other less-massive members of the cluster as well as the closest protostellar condensation facing the central cluster. Using the evidence for a proplyd, we argue that the massive and intermediate mass members of the cluster, HD 164492C (B6 star) and HD 164492 (Herbig Be star) have disks associated with them.

description: We define the notion of a multi-sorted algebraic theory, which is a generalization of an algebraic theory in which the objects are of different "sorts." We prove a rigidification result for simplicial algebras over these theories, showing that there is a Quillen equivalence between a model category structure on the category of strict algebras over a multi-sorted theory and an appropriate model category structure on the category of functors from a multi-sorted theory to the category of simplicial sets. In the latter model structure, the fibrant objects are homotopy algebras over that theory. Our two main examples of strict algebras are operads in the category of simplicial sets and simplicial categories with a given set of objects.

Collision Avoidance Maneuver Optimization with a Multiple-Impulse Convex Formulation

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: A method to compute optimal collision avoidance maneuvers for short-term encounters is presented. The maneuvers are modeled as multiple-impulses to handle impulsive cases and to approximate finite burn arcs associated either with short alert times or the use of low-thrust propulsion. The maneuver design is formulated as a sequence of convex optimization problems solved in polynomial time by state-of-the-art primal-dual interior-point algorithms. The proposed approach calculates optimal solutions without assumptions about the thrust arc structure and thrust direction. The execution time is fraction of a second for an optimization problem with hundreds of variables and constraints, making it suitable for autonomous calculations.

description: The function of a pavement is to serve traffic safely, comfortably, and efficiently at reasonable costs. Automobile traffic typically accounts for the major volume of traffic using high-type facilities. However, heavy truck traffic accounts for the major portion of accumulated fatigue and therefore requires greater structural designs. Truck design and usage has tended toward larger vehicles and greater payloads. The impact of elements of truck design and usage (such as suspension systems, floating axles, axle configurations, uniformity of loading, payloads, etc.) on fatigue "damage" are illustrated. The effects of increasing vehicle loadings and increased tire pressures are related to potential for rutting of asphaltic concrete pavements. Mechanisms for implementation of vehicle damage factors and accumulated pavement fatigue in the assessment and allocation of costs to highway users also are presented.

description: During construction of the southbound lanes of I 65, Stations 120+00 to 218+00, in Hardin County, Kentucky, near Elizabethtown, large deformations were observed when dense-graded aggregate (DGA) base courses were loaded with construction traffic. Rutting and cracking of the DGA also was noticeable. A study was performed to determine the causes of the unstable subgrade and base, recommend remedial actions, and evaluate the effectiveness of the remedial measures. The stability, or bearing capacity, of the unstable pavement was determined for different construction stages and combinations of pavement layer thicknesses using a relatively new stability model HOPK-I. The stability of the pavement during early construction stages also was analyzed using Vesic’s bearing capacity equations; results were compared to those obtained from the ROPK-I stability model. Initially, a geotextile fabric had been placed on the clay subgrade in an attempt to stabilize the subgrade. Remedial action consisted of mixing the top 6 to 9 inches of DGA with 7 to 10 percent of portland cement. A 3-inch layer of DGA was placed between the cement-DGA mixture and asphaltic concrete to minimize reflective cracking. Remedial actions were analyzed using the HOPK-1 model and evaluated using the Road Rater. Based on stability analyses, the failure of the granular base was a result of a bearing capacity failure in the clay subgrade; the original design vas inadequate. Stability analyses and Road Rater results showed that the remedial action vastly improved the structural behavior of the pavement. Results indicate that the HOPK-I model may be a good analysis tool. The study also emphasizes the need to determine and analyze the constructability of pavement designs.

description: In this paper we consider an extension of the Rosenzweig-Porter (RP) model, the Lévy-RP (L-RP) model, in which the off-diagonal matrix elements are broadly distributed, providing a more realistic benchmark to develop an effective description of non-ergodic extended (NEE) states in interacting many-body disordered systems. We put forward a simple, general, and intuitive argument that allows one to unveil the multifractal structure of the mini-bands in the local spectrum when hybridization is due to anomalously large transition amplitudes in the tails of the distribution. The idea is that the energy spreading of the mini-bands can be determined self-consistently by requiring that the maximum of the matrix elements between a site $i$ and the other $N^{D_1}$ sites of the support set is of the same order of the Thouless energy itself $N^{D_1 - 1}$. This argument yields the fractal dimensions that characterize the statistics of the multifractal wave-functions in the NEE phase, as well as the whole phase diagram of the L-RP ensemble. Its predictions are confirmed both analytically, by a thorough investigation of the self-consistent equation for the local density of states obtained using the cavity approach, and numerically, via extensive exact diagonalizations.

description: The method that is proposed in this thesis makes document images searchable with minimum manual effort. This works in the query-by-example scenario where the user selects an exemplary occurrence of the query word in a document image. Afterwards, an entire collection of document images is searched automatically. The major challenge is to detect relevant words and to sort them according to similarity to the query. However, recognizing text in historic document images can be considered as extremely challenging. Different historic document collections have highly irregular visual appearances due to non-standardized layouts or the large variabilities in handwritten script. An automatic text recognizer requires huge amounts of annotated samples from the collection that are usually not directly available. In order to search document images with just a single example of the query word, the information that is available about the problem domain is integrated at various levels. Bag-of-features are a powerful image representation that can be adapted to the data automatically. The query word is represented with a hidden Markov model. This statistical sequence model is very suitable for the sequential structure of text. An important assumption is that the visual variability of the text within a single collection is limited. For example, this is typically the case if the documents have been written by only a few writers. Furthermore, the proposed method requires only minimal heuristic assumptions about the visual appearance of text. This is achieved by processing document images as a whole without requiring a given segmentation of the images on word level or on line level. The detection of potentially relevant document regions is based on similarity to the query. It is not required to recognize words in general. Word size variabilities can be handled by the hidden Markov model. In order to make the computationally costly application of the sequence model feasible in practice, regions are retrieved according to approximate similarity with an efficient model decoding algorithm. Since the approximate approach retrieves regions with high recall, re-ranking these regions with the sequence model leads to highly accurate word spotting results. In addition, the method can be extended to textual queries, i.e., query-by-string, if annotated samples become available. The method is evaluated on five benchmark datasets. In the segmentation-free query-by-example scenario where no annotated sample set is available, the method outperforms all other methods that have been evaluated on any of these five benchmarks. If only a small dataset of annotated samples is available, the performance in the query-by-string scenario is competitive with the state-of-the-art.

Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1985
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Long-term movements of highway bridge approach embankments and pavements are described and factors that may lead to settlement of highway bridge approach pavements are discussed. Six case histories are presented. The bridge approach sites were observed at different times during the period 1966 to 1985. At four sites, lateral movements, measured from slope inclinometers, of the approach embankments were monitored over time periods ranging from 8 to 14 years. Settlements of the highway bridge approaches were monitored some three to four years after paving. Estimated and observed settlements of the foundations at the study sites were obtained for a length of time sufficient to establish settlement patterns over long-term time periods. Subsurface explorations were conducted prior to and after construction. Triaxial tests were performed on foundation and embankment samples. Based on triaxial shear strengths and long-term seepage measurements, long-term factors of safety of the approach embankments were calculated. An empirical method of estimating the rate of foundation settlement is presented. This method appears to yield settlement estimates that agree better with observed settlements than estimated settlements based on laboratory parameters. An empirical method for estimating the long-term settlements of highway approach embankments is presented. This method may be useful in deciding whether permanent or temporary approach pavements should be installed. With regard to the design and construction of highway bridge approach embankments and pavements, several recommendations are presented.

description: The study of the early high-energy emission from both long and short Gamma-ray bursts has been revolutionized by the Swift mission. The rapid response of Swift shows that the non-thermal X-ray emission transitions smoothly from the prompt phase into a decaying phase whatever the details of the light curve. The decay is often categorized by a steep-to-shallow transition suggesting that the prompt emission and the afterglow are two distinct emission components. In those GRBs with an initially steeply-decaying X-ray light curve we are probably seeing off-axis emission due to termination of intense central engine activity. This phase is usually followed, within the first hour, by a shallow decay, giving the appearance of a late emission hump. The late emission hump can last for up to a day, and hence, although faint, is energetically very significant. The energy emitted during the late emission hump is very likely due to the forward shock being constantly refreshed by either late central engine activity or less relativistic material emitted during the prompt phase. In other GRBs the early X-ray emission decays gradually following the prompt emission with no evidence for early temporal breaks, and in these bursts the emission may be dominated by classical afterglow emission from the external shock as the relativistic jet is slowed by interaction with the surrounding circum-burst medium. At least half of the GRBs observed by Swift also show erratic X-ray flaring behaviour, usually within the first few hours. The properties of the X-ray flares suggest that they are due to central engine activity. Overall, the observed wide variety of early high-energy phenomena pose a major challenge to GRB models.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Participants in the ranking methodologies workshops were a good representation of those various actors (types of agencies or organizations) in the pavement management process. There were nineteen participants, nine of whom were from the United States, six from Canada, and four from European countries. Of the nineteen, eight represented state or provincial governmental units, three represented municipalities, four were employees of national highway agencies, and another four were either consultants or representatives of universities. Unfortunately, however, all participants represented the technical levels involved in pavement ranking. No one was present to provide the viewpoint of the ultimate decision makers -- higher level staff of highway or street agencies or legislators.

description: Using the equivalence between Scherk-Schwarz reductions and twisted tori compactifications, we discuss the effective theories obtained by this procedure from M-theory and N =4 type II orientifold constructions with Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond-Ramond form fluxes turned on. We derive the gauge algebras of the effective theories describing their general features, in particular the symplectic embedding in the duality symmetries of the theory. The generic gauge theory is non-abelian and its gauge group is given by the semidirect product of subgroups of SL(7) or SL(p-3) x SL(9-p) for p=3,...,9, with generators describing nilpotent subalgebras of e_{7(7)} or so(6,6) (in M and type II theories respectively).

description: Visual field inspections and soundings were performed on latex concrete overlays on 24 bridges on I 64 between Milepoint 150 and the West Virginia state line. The inspections were conducted in response to a request from the Kentucky Department of Highways to determine if cracking problems in the overlays were related to workmanship or materials.  The field inspections revealed that most of the overlay crack problems were related to 1) reflection cracking caused by pre-existing fractures in underlying concrete bridge decks and 2) “pull-in” cracks in the overlay, caused by belated tyning of the bridge deck.  Field diaries, inspection reports, material test reports and the final construction inspection report were reviewed. Correlations were sought among latex brand, cement brand, date of pouring, rain during pouring, pouring temperature, percent entrained air, and slump to determine their effects on overlay cracks. No correlations were detected.  Pre-existing deck fractures are related to thermal stresses between the concrete and reinforcing steel and to flexure of the bridge. Those cracking patterns and the extent of cracking have been found to be generally specific to the overall design of the structure.  A small number of construction-related bridge-deck flaws such as mudball holes and delaminations were detected. The extent of delaminations detected by the Kentucky Transportation Research Program vas less than that identified by the Department of Highways. This was due to differences in sounding techniques and interpretations employed by the two parties.  It is recommended that the contractor be held liable only for patching or treating longitudinal "pull-in” cracks. The contractor also should be held accountable for mudball holes and delaminations. The contractor should not be held accountable for reflection cracks. It is recommended that modifications be made to Kentucky Department of Highways Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 617, entitled "Concrete Bridge Deck Overlays.” Those changes should mandate 1) timely placing and texturing of the overlay and 2) qualification testing of overlay contractors.

description: Charged pattern formation on the surfaces of self--assembled cylindrical micelles formed from oppositely charged heterogeneous molecules such as cationic and anionic peptide amphiphiles is investigated. The net incompatibility $χ$ among different components results in the formation of segregated domains, whose growth is inhibited by electrostatics. The transition to striped phases proceeds through an intermediate structure governed by fluctuations, followed by states with various lamellar orientations, which depend on cylinder radius $R_c$ and $χ$. We analyze the specific heat, susceptibility $S(q^*)$, domain size $Λ=2π/q^*$ and morphology as a function of $R_c$ and $χ$.

description: Sequential user behavior modeling plays a crucial role in online user-oriented services, such as product purchasing, news feed consumption, and online advertising. The performance of sequential modeling heavily depends on the scale and quality of historical behaviors. However, the number of user behaviors inherently follows a long-tailed distribution, which has been seldom explored. In this work, we argue that focusing on tail users could bring more benefits and address the long tails issue by learning transferrable parameters from both optimization and feature perspectives. Specifically, we propose a gradient alignment optimizer and adopt an adversarial training scheme to facilitate knowledge transfer from the head to the tail. Such methods can also deal with the cold-start problem of new users. Moreover, it could be directly adaptive to various well-established sequential models. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets verify the superiority of our framework compared with the state-of-the-art baselines.

description: We study the pancake lattice system induced by application of transverse magnetic filed to the layered superconductor. A simple statistical field theory for the pancake lattice is derived. It incorporates effects of the magnetic interaction between pancakes as well as those of the interlayer Josephson coupling. The proposed description enables us to estimate the pancake crystal melting temperature from above. Also, it allows us to compare directly the effects of the magnetic and Josephson energies on the statistical properties of the pancake lattice. We demonstrate that even for such an anisotropic material as BSCCO the pancake interaction induced by the Josephson coupling is of the same order as the magnetic interaction.
