description: The signature of a path is a sequence of tensors whose entries are iterated integrals, playing a key role in stochastic analysis and applications. The set of all signature tensors at a particular level gives rise to the universal signature variety. We show that the parametrization of this variety induces a natural decomposition of the tensor space via representation theory, and connect this to the study of path invariants. We also reveal certain constraints that apply to the rank and symmetry of a signature tensor.

description: Crowding effects are crucial to maintaining functionality in biological systems, but little is known about their role in analogous artificial counterparts. Within the growing field of supramolecular polymer science, crowding effects have hitherto remained underappreciated. Herein, we show that crowding effects exhibit strong and distinct control over the kinetics, accessible pathways and final outcomes of supramolecular polymerisation processes. In the presence of a pre-formed supramolecular polymer as crowding agent, a model supramolecular polymer dramatically changes its self-assembly behaviour and undergoes a morphological transformation from bundled fibres into flower-like hierarchical assemblies, despite no co-assembly taking place. Notably, this new pathway can only be accessed in crowded environments and when the crowding agent exhibits a one-dimensional morphology. These results allow accessing diverse morphologies and properties in supramolecular polymers and pave the way towards a better understanding of high-precision self-assembly in nature.

description: Studying the system state of coexistence regions will peek into to reveal microscopic interactions between different phases of a thermodynamic system. However, there is no effective method to study thermodynamic nature of the coexistence black hole regions for the failure of the equation of state. Aiming at these coexistence states, in this work, we develop a general approach by introducing two new ratio parameters. The first one is the ratio of the horizon radii of the saturated coexistence small and large black holes, and the second one measures that of the small black hole molecule number to the total molecule number. We demonstrate that the first parameter can serve as an order parameter to characterize the first-order phase transition. The study also shows that the black hole state in the coexistence region is uniquely determined by these two introduced parameters bounded between 0 and 1. These results are quite significant in the analytical study of phase transition and the microscopic nature of black hole in the coexistence regions.

Multimodal image registration and mosaicking of artworks: an approach based on mutual information
Creators: name: Villafane, Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: We present a novel approach for registration of multimodal technical images associated with painted artworks. We developed both an automated method for area-based registration and mosaicking based on mutual information, and a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows heritage end-users to implement our method from the browser of any computer, without the need of interfacing with the code directly. Our method was initially developed for registering element distribution maps resulting from macro X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) scanning of painted artworks, which take the form of a layered image stack. This stack is treated as the moving image for registration to the target fixed image - which is usually, but not limited to, the visible image of the same artwork. Our method can register multiple moving images simultaneously (each one arranged as a layered image stack, and each covering part of the fixed image), as well as it can be applied for registering various other image modalities. Operating in consecutive stages, the method registers one moving image at a time, progressively evaluating a range of transformations that are applied to each image in the stack. Finally, a unique, optimised transformation that provides the highest average mutual information across all images in the stack is identified with consensus. This transformation is then applied to the entire moving image to obtain the best alignment between the moving and fixed images when overlapped. Our browser-based GUI facilitates setting up the images to align, as well as storing the initial settings assigned by the user to each set of moving images. The user can then execute, automatedly, the registration of multiple moving images in the same interface - immediately after setting up initial parameters or at a later session. The results are accessible from the GUI and can be saved in the computer of the user.
Aschenbach effect and circular orbits in static and spherically symmetric black hole backgrounds

description: The Aschenbach effect, the increasing behavior of the angular velocity of a timelike circular orbit with its radius coordinate, is found to extensively exist in rapidly spinning black holes to a zero-angular-momentum observer. It also has potential observation in the high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations of X-ray flux. However, observing such effect remains to be a challenge in static and spherically symmetric black hole backgrounds. In this paper, we mainly focus on such issue. Starting with the geodesics, we analytically study the underlying properties of the timelike circular orbits, and show the conditions under which the Aschenbach effect survives. It is shown that the presence of the static point orbits and stable photon spheres would be the indicator of the Aschenbach effect. We then apply it to three characteristic black holes exhibiting different features. The results state that this effect is absent for both the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström black holes. While, for the dyonic black hole in quasi-topological electromagnetics, there indeed exists the Aschenbach effect. This provides a first example that such effect exists in a non-spinning black hole background. Moreover, it also uncovers an intriguing property for understanding the black holes in nonlinear electrodynamics.

description: We investigate Collisionless Shock Acceleration of spin-polarized ${}^3$He for laser pulses with normalized vector potentials in the range $a_0 = 100-200$. The setup utilized in the 2D-PIC simulations consists of a solid Carbon foil that is placed in front of the main Helium target. The foil is heated by the laser pulse and shields the Helium from the highly oscillating fields. In turn, a shock wave with more homogeneous fields is induced, leading to highly polarized ion beams. We observe that the inclusion of radiation reaction into our simulations leads to a higher beam charge without affecting the polarization degree to a significant extent.

description: With the increasing reliance on small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) for Emergency Response Scenarios, such as Search and Rescue, the integration of computer vision capabilities has become a key factor in mission success. Nevertheless, computer vision performance for detecting humans severely degrades when shifting from ground to aerial views. Several aerial datasets have been created to mitigate this problem, however, none of them has specifically addressed the issue of occlusion, a critical component in Emergency Response Scenarios. Natural, Occluded, Multi-scale Aerial Dataset (NOMAD) presents a benchmark for human detection under occluded aerial views, with five different aerial distances and rich imagery variance. NOMAD is composed of 100 different Actors, all performing sequences of walking, laying and hiding. It includes 42,825 frames, extracted from 5.4k resolution videos, and manually annotated with a bounding box and a label describing 10 different visibility levels, categorized according to the percentage of the human body visible inside the bounding box. This allows computer vision models to be evaluated on their detection performance across different ranges of occlusion. NOMAD is designed to improve the effectiveness of aerial search and rescue and to enhance collaboration between sUAS and humans, by providing a new benchmark dataset for human detection under occluded aerial views. Full dataset can be found at: https://github.com/ArtRuss/NOMAD.

description: We developed a method superposing two different fission modes calculated in a four-dimensional Langevin model to obtain more accurate fission fragment yield and total kinetic energy (TKE). The two fission modes correspond to the standard I and standard II modes reported by Brosa et al., and parameters in the Langevin model and the superposing ratio were determined to reproduce the fission fragment yield of $^{240}$Pu of spontaneous fission. We also investigated the fission fragment yields and the TKEs of other Pu isotopes by using the same Langevin parameters and different superposing ratios, such as spontaneous fission of $^{238,242}$Pu and neutron-induced fission of $^{239}$Pu. The prompt fission observables, such as the neutron multiplicity, the prompt fission neutron spectrum, and the independent fission product yield were calculated in the Hauser-Feshbach statistical decay model implemented in a nuclear reaction code TALYS with $^{239}$Pu(n,f) in the incident energies ranging from thermal energy up to 5 MeV. The calculated fission observables qualitatively reproduce several known trends while calculated results have quantitative discrepancies between reported data. Although more improvements are needed for the most important nuclides, it turned out that our approach has the capability to provide prompt fission observables for difficult-to-measure nuclides.

Robustness of the Random Language Model

description: The Random Language Model (De Giuli 2019) is an ensemble of stochastic context-free grammars, quantifying the syntax of human and computer languages. The model suggests a simple picture of first language learning as a type of annealing in the vast space of potential languages. In its simplest formulation, it implies a single continuous transition to grammatical syntax, at which the symmetry among potential words and categories is spontaneously broken. Here this picture is scrutinized by considering its robustness against extensions of the original model, and trajectories through parameter space different from those originally considered. It is shown here that (i) the scenario is robust to explicit symmetry breaking, an inevitable component of learning in the real world; and (ii) the transition to grammatical syntax can be encountered by fixing the deep (hidden) structure while varying the surface (observable) properties. It is also argued that the transition becomes a sharp thermodynamic transition in an idealized limit. Moreover, comparison with human data on the clustering coefficient of syntax networks suggests that the observed transition is equivalent to that normally experienced by children at age 24 months. The results are discussed in light of theory of first-language acquisition in linguistics, and recent successes in machine learning.

description: Ecarinosphaerula Hatch
Ecarinosphaerula Hatch, 1929: 2 (as a subgenus of Leiodes). Type species: Anisotoma ecarinata Horn, 1880, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Body moderately flattened, oblong. Antenna with 11 antennomeres, with 5-antennomere club interrupted by small antennomere 8. Mandibles moderately long, without distinct teeth. Ventral side of head without antennal grooves. Pronotum transverse, about as wide as elytra. Elytra longer than wide. Prosternum short in front of procoxae. Mesosternum oblique, without median longitudinal carina. Metasternum longer than first two visible abdominal sternites combined. Abdomen with 6 visible sternites (sternites III–VIII) in both sexes. Legs moderately slender; all tibiae spinose on outer margin. Tarsal formula 5-5- 4 in both sexes. Males distinguished by weakly expanded protarsi and mesotarsi, and by toothlike expansion of lower margin of metafemur. The distribution of the genus is western Nearctic (Newton 1998).
Discussion. We have examined five previously unreported specimens of Ecarinosphaerula. The label data of the specimens are as follows: “Pasadena/ Cal.// H.C. Fall Collection” (1 female, MCZC); “ UNITED STATES: Cal., Tulare Co. / Sequoia Nat. Park, 7000’/ Halstead Creek/ 29.V.1984 / R. Baranowski” (1 male, SBPC); “CA: Monterey Co. / 36˚04.33’N, 121˚34.95’W/ UC Big Creek Reserve/ vi.29-vii.6.2002/ M. Caterino, FIT(11)” (2 males, SBMN); “ UNITED STATES: CA: Marin Co., 2kmS/ Olema, N38˚00.5’W122˚46’/ Mixed ravine forest FIT, 20m / 9.V-11.VI.03, S. Peck, 03-20” (2 males, SBPC).
There are at least two distinct species among these specimens, based on examination of male genitalia. The original description of the species E. ecarinata (Horn 1880: 292) was based on two specimens from western Nevada, with a label with the word “Morrison”, whom we assume was the collector, and which is not a locality. One of these specimens appears to be a female and bears a label as being the (unpublished?) lectotype (MCZC type 3012). An additional specimen, not seen by us, was reported by Hatch (1957) as E. ecarinata from Penticton, British Columbia. At this time, with the paucity of material of this genus, we cannot provide more information.

Voucher specimens of Bactrodes were identified using Coscarón and Melo (2003). Host plants were identified by Humberto Mendoza, Fabian Michelangeli, and Theodore Cochrane from field photographs and identifications are provided in Table 1. Prey insects were preserved in 96% ethanol together with the feeding Bactrodes individuals. Prey and trapped carrion specimens were classified to order and family, where possible, using standard insect identification literature. The identity of egg parasitoids as a species of Trichogramma (Trichogrammatidae) and a species of Telenomus (Scelionidae) were confirmed by Richard Stouthamer and Norman Johnson, respectively.

description: The current Insight analyses the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Case C-551/21, which up-held the Commission's claim regarding its right to exercise the external act of treaty signature. The deci-sion sheds light on the signature procedure outlined in art. 218 TFEU and adds to previous cases, clari-fying the proper contours and roles of each institution in relation to the procedure set in the article. An initial observation of the practice appears to indicate the Permanent Representative of the country holding the Council's presidency as the responsible party to sign international agreements with third parties representing the Union. However, a more in-depth analysis reveals a lack of consistent and standardised practice. The judgment correctly recalibrates the institutional balance and is coherent with the reforms of the Lisbon Treaty, which sought to bring about an evolution of the principles of the Treaties without a formal amendment process.

Type:— ITALY. Sardini, circa San Giovanni Sinis, in aquis stag., 39°53’13 N, 8°26’22 E, WGS 84, 05 April 2018, Becker 2018 (Herb. ROST).
The monoecious plants are small to medium–sized (9–17 cm including the protonema), light green, opaque and not incrusted, with well developed, long stipulodes and bract-cells (Fig. 1 B, C). The bright orange gametangia are clustered inside and outside the base of the whorl and on the lowest branchlets (Fig. 2B), and are abundant and obvious, even in situ in the habitat (Fig 2A). Plants grow as individual shoots, fertile at nearly all nodes, with long whispy protonemal axes longer than the height of the plants (Fig. 1B). Axes narrow, 350–600 µm in diameter (usually 375–550 µm), ecorticate, internodes 1–3.2 cm long except in the apicies. Stipulodes, up to one per branchlet (but frequently replaced by gametangia; Fig. 1A), up to 1.75 mm long, downward and outward pointing where present. Branchlets 5 to 8 in a whorl, up to 1.8 cm long, basal branchlet cell short on fertile branchlets, up to 2 mm long (Fig. 1C), sterile branchlets not seen. Branchlet end segments usually 1 cell, up to 750 µm long, mucronate (Fig. 2D). Bract cells verticillate (4 or 5 around) on the lowest two or three branchlet nodes in fertile whorls, up to 1.7 mm long (Fig. 2C). Gametangia clustered inside and outside the base of the whorl and conjoined, geminate or geminate-conjoined on the lowest 2–3 branchlet nodes (Fig. 1A). Oogonia bright orange (Fig. 2B), apparently sessile, clustered inside and outside the base of the whorl, and when occurring on the branchlets, usually conjoined with antheridia, below or beside the antheridium, 500–750 µm long, 400–600 µm wide (only dry material was measured), with 10–14 convolutions (Fig. 1D). Coronula 75–110 µm long, 130–150 µm wide, coronula cells oval-shaped (Fig. 1E). Oospores black, 510–650 µm long, 250– 475 µm wide at the widest point, with 9–11 striae of low ridges, ornamentation smooth (Fig. 3, Fig.2E). Antheridia 325–450 µm in diameter, orange, solitary or conjoined with oogonia on the branchlets (Fig. 1D), as well as inside and outside the base of the whorl. Vegetative reproduction not known. Chromosomes not known.
Etymology: The specific epithet is named for the island of Sardinia where collection was made.
