description: Vector database management systems have emerged as an important component in modern data management, driven by the growing importance for the need to computationally describe rich data such as texts, images and video in various domains such as recommender systems, similarity search, and chatbots. These data descriptions are captured as numerical vectors that are computationally inexpensive to store and compare. However, the unique characteristics of vectorized data, including high dimensionality and sparsity, demand specialized solutions for efficient storage, retrieval, and processing. This narrative literature review provides an accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts, use-cases, and current challenges associated with vector database management systems, offering an overview for researchers and practitioners seeking to facilitate effective vector data management.

description: At the CMS experiment, a growing reliance on the fast Monte Carlo application (FastSim) will accompany the high luminosity and detector granularity expected in Phase 2. The FastSim chain is roughly 10 times faster than the application based on the GEANT4 detector simulation and full reconstruction referred to as FullSim. However, this advantage comes at the price of decreased accuracy in some of the final analysis observables. In this contribution, a machine learning-based technique to refine those observables is presented. We employ a regression neural network trained with a sophisticated combination of multiple loss functions to provide post-hoc corrections to samples produced by the FastSim chain. The results show considerably improved agreement with the FullSim output and an improvement in correlations among output observables and external parameters. This technique is a promising replacement for existing correction factors, providing higher accuracy and thus contributing to the wider usage of FastSim.

description: Open-ended assignments - such as lab reports and semester-long projects - provide data science and statistics students with opportunities for developing communication, critical thinking, and creativity skills. However, providing grades and formative feedback to open-ended assignments can be very time consuming and difficult to do consistently across students. In this paper, we discuss the steps of a typical grading workflow and highlight which steps can be automated in an approach that we call automated grading workflow. We illustrate how gradetools, a new R package, implements this approach within RStudio to facilitate efficient and consistent grading while providing individualized feedback. By outlining the motivations behind the development of this package and the considerations underlying its design, we hope this article will provide data science and statistics educators with ideas for improving their grading workflows, possibly developing new grading tools or considering use gradetools as their grading workflow assistant.

description: The algebra of ${\rm GL}_n$-invariants of $m$-tuples of $n\times n$ matrices with respect to the action by simultaneous conjugation is a classical topic in case of infinite base field. On the other hand, in case of a finite field generators of polynomial invariants even in case of a pair of $2\times 2$ matrices are not known. Working over an arbitrary field we classified all ${\rm GL}_2$-orbits on $m$-tuples of $2\times 2$ nilpotent matrices for all $m>0$. As a consequence, we obtained a minimal separating set for the algebra of ${\rm GL}_2$-invariant polynomial functions of $m$-tuples of $2\times 2$ nilpotent matrices. We also described the least possible number of elements of a separating set for an algebra of invariant polynomial functions over a finite field.

description: Ad-hoc interface PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) are today the standard connection between cryogenic cabling and quantum chips. Besides low-loss and low-temperature-dependent-dielectric-permittivity materials, Flame Resistance n.4 (FR4) provides a low-cost solution for fabrication of cryogenic PCBs. Here, we report on an effective way to evaluate the dielectric performance of a FR4 laminate used as substrate for cryogenic microwave PCBs. We designed a coplanar waveguide λ/2 open-circuit series resonator, and we fabricated the PCB using a low-cost manufacturing process, obtaining in-plane geometric features with maximum variations of 50-100 um compared to the PCB design. Such a geometry allows to exploit the resonance peak of the resonator to measure the variation of the complex permittivity as a function of the temperature. The resonance peak frequency was used to estimate the real permittivity, achieving a sensitivity of -470 MHz and a resolution of 1.2x10^-2. Similarly, the resonance peak magnitude was involved in the extrapolation of the loss tangent, reaching a sensitivity of ~-337 dB and a resolution of 1.6x^10-4. For the FR4 laminate used, we estimated a 9 % reduction of the real permittivity and a 70 % reduction of the loss tangent in the temperature range from 300 to 4 K. The proposed approach can be immediately extended to the detection of cryogenic temperature-dependent dielectric performance of any kind of substrate.

description: In this paper we study the BM quasi-Hermitian varieties introduced in [A. Aguglia, A. Cossidente, G. Korchmàros, On quasi-Hermitian Varieties, J. Combin. Des. 20 (2012) 433-447.] in characteristc $2$ and dimension $3$. After a brief investigation of their combinatorial properties, we first show that all of these varieties are projectively equivalent, exhibiting a behavior which is strikingly different from what happens in odd characteristic, see [A. Aguglia, L. Giuzzi, On the equivalence of certain quasi-Hermitian varieties, J. Combin. Des. 1-15 (2022)]. This completes the classification project started in that paper. Here we prove more; indeed, by using previous results, we explicitly determine the structure of the full collineation group stabilizing these varieties. Finally, as a byproduct of our investigation, we also construct a family of simple orthogonal arrays $O(q^5,q^4,q,2)$, with entries in $\mathrm{GF}{q}$, where $q$ is an even prime power. Orthogonal arrays (OA's) are principally used to minimize the number of experiments needed in order to investigate how variables in testing interact with each other.

Remarks. The specific derivation is enigmatic; the Latin word candidus (a, um) means white. However, the illustration for the dorsal view of a complete specimen (Kinberg 1910, Pl. 11, Fig. 2A) shows a middorsal dark spot, resembling C. viridis Schmarda, 1861. Hartman (1949: 37) regarded C. candida as a juvenile of C. viridis Schmarda, 1861. This might imply a need to call for a reversal of priority. However, because the species name was based on a juvenile, and the original description indicated bipinnate branchiae were present from chaetiger 2, it was regarded as indeterminable (Yáñez-Rivera & Salazar-Vallejo 2022).

Total variation regularization for recovering the spatial source term in a time-fractional diffusion equation

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper, we consider an inverse space-dependent source problem for a time-fractional diffusion equation. To deal with the ill-posedness of the problem, we transform the problem into an optimal control problem with total variational (TV) regularization. In contrast to the classical Tikhonov model incorporating $L^2$ penalty terms, the inclusion of a TV term proves advantageous in reconstructing solutions that exhibit discontinuities or piecewise constancy. The control problem is approximated by a fully discrete scheme, and convergence results are provided within this framework. Furthermore, a lineraed primal-dual iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the discrete control model based on an equivalent saddle-point reformulation, and several numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm.

description: Unraveling the causal relationships among the execution of process activities is a crucial element in predicting the consequences of process interventions and making informed decisions regarding process improvements. Process discovery algorithms exploit time precedence as their main source of model derivation. Hence, a causal view can supplement process discovery, being a new perspective in which relations reflect genuine cause-effect dependencies among the tasks. This calls for faithful new techniques to discover the causal execution dependencies among the tasks in the process. To this end, our work offers a systematic approach to the unveiling of the causal business process by leveraging an existing causal discovery algorithm over activity timing. In addition, this work delves into a set of conditions under which process mining discovery algorithms generate a model that is incongruent with the causal business process model, and shows how the latter model can be methodologically employed for a sound analysis of the process. Our methodology searches for such discrepancies between the two models in the context of three causal patterns, and derives a new view in which these inconsistencies are annotated over the mined process model. We demonstrate our methodology employing two open process mining algorithms, the IBM Process Mining tool, and the LiNGAM causal discovery technique. We apply it to a synthesized dataset and two open benchmark datasets.

Central role of filler-polymer interplay in nonlinear reinforcement of elastomeric nanocomposites

description: Nanoparticles can greatly enhance the mechanical response of elastomeric polymers essential to a wide range of applications, yet their precise molecular mechanisms of high-strain reinforcement remain largely unresolved. Here we show, based on molecular dynamics simulations, that high-strain reinforcement emerges from an interplay between granular nanoparticulate compressive behavior in the normal direction and polymer incompressibility. This feedback loop, which is initiated by a mismatch in the Poisson ratios of nanofiller and polymer, invokes a contribution from the polymer's bulk modulus to the elongational stress, while the tendency of the polymer to contract in the normal direction maintains a near-jammed filler state. This effect persists even once the direct filler elongational contribution becomes dissipative after the 'Payne effect' yield. These results indicate that direct particle-particle contact effects, even in the absence of potential augmenting mechanisms such as glassy polymer bridges, can drive the mechanical reinforcement effects typical of experimental systems.
title: Tailoring self-sorting behavior in multicomponent supramolecular systems using functional dipeptide diastereomers
Creators: name: Guan, Qingwen
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Multi-component supramolecular systems are essential for tailoring materials to meet specific application needs, mimicking natural processes where molecular self-sorting forms complex, multi-layered structures within cells for vital functions. In these systems, self-sorting is carefully controlled to program desired properties into the final product, balancing the retention of key characteristics with the introduction of new structural or functional properties. While these selfsorted systems are promising for creating advanced materials, their complexity makes them difficult to fully understand and control.

In Chapter 2, we extensively employed characterization techniques such as small-angle scattering (SAS), cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), rheology, and various spectroscopic methods to investigate the self-sorting behavior of mixtures of diastereoisomers of naphthyl diphenylalanine. We examined how their composition ratio affects the properties of functionalized dipeptide hydrogels in different phases. These studies demonstrated how significant structural features and interactions at varying ratios influence the physical and optical properties of gels, such as viscosity, gelation time, turbidity, and spectral characteristics.

In Chapter 3, we delved deeper into stacking patterns and their impact on the properties of a library of naphthyl dipeptide diastereomeric mixtures. Using differently substituted naphthalene rings, we developed multicomponent systems with varying self-assembled nanostructures or gelation capabilities. Analysis at molecular, microscopic, and holistic levels revealed that each component within the two-component systems could independently form self-assembled nanostructures, thus exhibiting self-sorting behaviors at different scales. These findings illustrate that the peptide's stereochemistry plays a pivotal role in self-assembly, enabling the design of self-sorting, low molecular weight gel (LMWG) systems.

In Chapter 4, we described the optical properties of the dipeptide-based pre-gel solutions using advanced characterization methods such as synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) and Mueller Matrix Polarimetry (MMP). MMP analysis captured comprehensive polarization data, confirming significant differences in molecular orientation and electronic interactions between homochiral and heterochiral systems. These findings indicate that mixing diastereoisomers alters the optical properties, affecting circular birefringence and dichroism, and suggesting shifts in chiral order and molecular interactions.

description: This chapter traces the eventful biography of Steve McCarty vis-à-vis Japan. The story spans decades from graduate school specializing in Japan to discovering an astonishing syncretism of Asian religions. Along the way, the author gained a Japanese family and became a rare foreign full professor in 1993. Anecdotes vividly portray daily life, mostly on the southern island of Shikoku, but also in Nagoya and Osaka. Playing on many baseball teams brought the author into popular groups where members are frank and humorous. Functioning in daily relationships in Japanese, a college teaching career, and researching original sources were all motivating to improve language skills and adapt to the culture. The author led language teaching and research organizations, and collaborated on multilingual guidebooks to Shikoku with local teachers. After moving to Osaka in 2004, all family members became surprisingly successful. Invited by the government to regularly introduce Japan to visiting officials from around the world, it became clear that everything learned about Asia, the Japanese language, culture, and people proved useful and provoked reflection.

Lead education - is it working? The effectiveness of the safe water drinking act
Creators: name: No Name Supplied

description: Lead in drinking water is a significant environmental health risk, contributing to lowerIQ, short attention span and learning disabilities. U.S. EPA estimates the medical costs aloneat $4.5 billion a year. States like New Jersey, with older housing, bear the greatest risk; andchildren under six are most vulnerable to lasting harm. Yet exposure to lead in drinking watercan be avoided by comparatively simple actions by households and water providers.Recognizing this opportunity for substantial cost-effective risk reduction, U.S. EPA rulesimplementing the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) require water providers with test resultsabove the "action level" to educate their customers about lead risks and specific actions toreduce risk. Effectiveness of these education programs has a direct impact on reducing healthdamages. In order to provide guidance on how to make education programs most effective,NJ DEP initiated a study of existing education efforts. This research will contribute to costeffectiveefforts for protecting health by providing information to New Jersey water providersand public and private agencies so they can target resources for programs that work best.

Landfill and groundwater modeling volume I: finalreport

description: Landfills are the most common means for municipal and industrial solidwaste disposal. Such landfills are one of the most serious sources ofliquid and gas pollutants, several of them toxic and carcinogenic, the socalled leachates. Leachates are generated in a landfill through complexphysical, chemical and biological processes. If allowed, they permeateinto the soil strata underlying the landfill and thus result in thecontamination of groundwater supplies. Groundwater contamination is asevere problem confronting New Jersey, a highly industrial and denselypopulated state. Of the 114 sites listed by the EPA as the worst chemicallandfill sites in the country, New Jersey has 7 in the top 20 and about 12sites listed overall. Since New Jersey relies heavily on its groundwatersupplies for potable water, the problem of groundwater contamination becomesone of great importance as a public health issue.
Bandit Pareto Set Identification: the Fixed Budget Setting

description: We study a multi-objective pure exploration problem in a multi-armed bandit model. Each arm is associated to an unknown multi-variate distribution and the goal is to identify the distributions whose mean is not uniformly worse than that of another distribution: the Pareto optimal set. We propose and analyze the first algorithms for the \emph{fixed budget} Pareto Set Identification task. We propose Empirical Gap Elimination, a family of algorithms combining a careful estimation of the ``hardness to classify'' each arm in or out of the Pareto set with a generic elimination scheme. We prove that two particular instances, EGE-SR and EGE-SH, have a probability of error that decays exponentially fast with the budget, with an exponent supported by an information theoretic lower-bound. We complement these findings with an empirical study using real-world and synthetic datasets, which showcase the good performance of our algorithms.

Chloeia candida: McIntosh 1924: 5; McIntosh 1925: 17–18, Pl. 1, Fig. 9 (non Kinberg, 1867).
Type locality. Off NE Durban, 65 m water depth.
Remarks. The Southern Africa record by McIntosh (1925: 17) indicated that “the dorsum is marked by two madder-brown lines which are boldest in front and get thinner posteriorly.” For the chaetal fine details, it was indicated “the absence of serrate bristles of any kind in this species is a feature of note, both dorsal and ventral being quite smooth” (McIntosh 1925: 17). These two features resemble C. bistriata Grube, 1868, described from the Red Sea, and in case some future specimens are examined, they should be compared against C. bistriata (see above).

description: There will be an estimated 18,000 buses transportingchildren to and from school in 2009 (Personal communication,NJDEP Diesel Reduction Program, 1/2008).It is estimated that approximately 800,000+ NewJersey children will be on those buses, the majority ofwhich have diesel engines. It is estimated that, onaverage, each of these children spends 1 Y:z hours perschool day on a school bus.The intent of Public Law 2005, c.219 (http://www.njleg.state.nj.us), signed on Sept 7, 2005, was toreduce diesel emissions in New Jersey. As part ofthat legislation, the NJDEP was charged with conductingresearch to (1) evaluate the relative contribution ofemissions from both the crankcase and the tailpipe toin-cabin levels of fine particles in school buses; and(2) evaluate the feasibility, and the environmental andhealth benefits of, the reduction of fine particle levelsfrom school bus tailpipe emissions through the use ofadditional retrofit devices. This study was undertakenin response to that charge. The study was carried outby Rowan University(Martinez-Morett D., et al., 2009)in collaboration with the NJDEP Division of Science,Research, and Technology (DSRT) now known asOffice of Science.

description: We study the probability that a random walk started inside a subgraph of a larger graph exits that subgraph (or, equivalently, hits the exterior boundary of the subgraph). Considering the chance a random walk started in the subgraph never leaves the subgraph leads to a notion we call "survival" transience, or $S$-transience. In the case where the heat kernel of the larger graph satisfies two-sided Gaussian estimates, we prove an upper bound on the probability of hitting the boundary of the subgraph. Under the additional hypothesis that the subgraph is inner uniform, we prove a two-sided estimate for this probability. The estimate depends upon a harmonic function in the subgraph. We also provide two-sided estimates for related probabilities, such as the harmonic measure (the chance the walk exits the subgraph at a particular point on its boundary).
