We develop a general framework for the steady-state response of dissipative quantum systems. We concretely derive three different, but equivalent, forms of the quantum response function. We discuss for each of them the role of the noncommutativity of quantum operators and establish links to the Kubo response theory for closed quantum systems. We show in part

Clinical text provides essential information to estimate the acuity of a patient during hospital stays in addition to structured clinical data. In this study, we explore how clinical text can complement a clinical predictive learning task. We leverage an internal medical natural language processing service to perform named entity extraction and negation dete

We study the fragmentation of a jet propagating in a dense quark-gluon plasma. Using a leading, double-logarithmic approximation in perturbative QCD, we compute for the first time the effects of the medium on the vacuum-like emissions. We show that, due to the scatterings off the plasma, the in-medium parton showers differ from the vacuum ones in two crucial

The determination of stellar effective temperature ($T_{\mathrm{eff}}$) in F, G, and K stars using H$\alpha$ profile fitting is a quite remarkable and powerful tool, because it practically does not depend on other atmospheric parameters and reddening. Nevertheless, this technique is not frequently used because of the complex procedure to recover the profile

Deep networks, composed of multiple layers of hierarchical distributed representations, tend to learn low-level features in initial layers and transition to high-level features towards final layers. Paradigms such as transfer learning, multi-task learning, and continual learning leverage this notion of generic hierarchical distributed representations to shar

We use Gaia Data Release 2 to search for possible surviving binary companions to three of the best studied historical Milky Way core-collapse supernovae. Consistent with previous work, we find there to be no plausible binary companion to either the Crab or Cas A supernovae. For the first time, we present a systematic search for a former companion to the Vela

The future Fifth Generation (5G) mobile cellular networks that are currently in research phase today enable broad range of services/applications beyond classical mobile communications. One key enabler for Ultra-Reliable services to be integrated into mobile networks is the \textit{Reliability} of transmission success of a given data packet. This is harder ma

In this study, considering the Fisher information metric (Fisher metric) given by a specific form, which is the form of weights in statistical physics, we rewrite the Einstein-Hilbert (EH) action. Then, determining the transformation rules of the Fisher metric, etc under the coarse-graining, we perform the coarse-graining toward that rewritten EH action. We

The possibility of an inhomogeneous charge density wave phase is investigated in a system of two coupled electron and hole monolayers separated by a hexagonal boron nitride insulating layer. The charge density wave state is induced through the assumption of negative compressibility of electron/hole gases in a Coulomb drag configuration between the electron a

We report on the compensation of excess micromotion due to parasitic rf-electric fields in a Paul trap. The parasitic rf-electric fields stem from the Paul trap drive but cause excess micromotion, e.g. due to imperfections in the setup of the Paul trap. We compensate these fields by applying rf-voltages of the same frequency but adequate phases and amplitude

We study locally conformal symplectic (LCS) structures of the second kind on a Lie algebra. We show a method to build new examples of Lie algebras admitting LCS structures of the second kind starting with a lower dimensional Lie algebra endowed with a LCS structure and a suitable representation. Moreover, we characterize all LCS Lie algebras obtained with ou

Web spectrum monitoring systems based on crowdsourcing have recently gained popularity. These systems are however limited to applications of interest for governamental organizationsor telecom providers, and only provide aggregated information about spectrum statistics.

Computer simulations allow us to explore non-perturbative phenomena in physics. This has the potential to help us understand quantum gravity. Finding a theory of quantum gravity is a hard problem, but in the last decades many promising and intriguing approaches that utilize or might benefit from using numerical methods were developed. These approaches are ba

We investigate the two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) of $c=\frac{47}{2}$, $c=\frac{116}{5}$ and $c=23$ `dual' to the critical Ising model, the three state Potts model and the tensor product of two Ising models, respectively. We argue that these CFTs exhibit moonshines for the double covering of the baby Monster group, $2\cdot \mathbb{B}$, the t

In neutron electric dipole moment experiments, 199Hg is used as a comagnetometer. The comagnetometer suffers from a false EDM arising in leading order from a gradient dBz/dz in the magnetic field. Our work concerns higher-order multipole corrections to the false EDM of 199Hg. We show that for spherical traps, all higher-order multipole are identically zero.

In this paper, we study the Casimir effect in a curved spacetime described by gravitational actions quadratic in the curvature. In particular, we consider the dynamics of a massless scalar field confined between two nearby plates and compute the corresponding mean vacuum energy density and pressure in the framework of quadratic theories of gravity. Since we

The Drell-Yan process is a copious source of lepton pairs at high energy and is measured with great precision at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Barring any new light particles, beyond the Standard Model effects can be studied in Drell-Yan production using an effective field theory. At tree level, new 4-fermion interactions dominate, while at one loop opera

Temporal correlations in quantum mechanics are the origin of several non-classical phenomena, but they depend on the dimension of the underlying quantum system. This allows one to use such correlations for the certification of a minimal Hilbert space dimension. Here we provide a theoretical proposal and an experimental implementation of a device-independent

We consider a setup in which confidential i.i.d. samples $X_1,\dotsc,X_n$ from an unknown finite-support distribution $\boldsymbol{p}$ are passed through $n$ copies of a discrete privatization channel (a.k.a. mechanism) producing outputs $Y_1,\dotsc,Y_n$. The channel law guarantees a local differential privacy of $\epsilon$. Subject to a prescribed privacy l

To every dynamical system $(X,\varphi)$ over a totally disconnected compact space, we associate a left-orderable group $T(\varphi)$. It is defined as a group of homeomorphisms of the suspension of $(X,\varphi)$ which preserve every orbit of the suspension flow and act by dyadic piecewise linear homeomorphisms in the flow direction. We show that if the system

In the context of infinity categories, we rethink the notion of derived functor in terms of correspondences. This is especially convenient for the description of a passage from an adjoint pair (F,G) of functors to a derived adjoint pair (LF,RG). In particular, canonicity of this passage becomes obvious. 2nd version: added comparison to Deligne's definition (

Speech datasets for identifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) are generally restricted to participants performing a single task, e.g. describing an image shown to them. As a result, models trained on linguistic features derived from such datasets may not be generalizable across tasks. Building on prior work demonstrating that same-task data of healthy participant

We resolve the computational complexity of Graph Isomorphism for classes of graphs characterized by two forbidden induced subgraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ for all but six pairs $(H_1,H_2)$. Schweitzer had previously shown that the number of open cases was finite, but without specifying the open cases. Grohe and Schweitzer proved that Graph Isomorphism is polynomial

We present a new cosmological test using the distribution of galaxies around cosmic voids without assuming a fiducial cosmology. The test is based on a physical model for the void-galaxy cross-correlation function projected along and perpendicular to the line of sight. We treat correlations in terms of void-centric angular distances and redshift differences

Inspired by the recent TOTEM data for the elastic proton -- proton ($pp$) scattering at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 and 13 TeV, we update previous studies of the differential cross sections using the Phillips -- Barger (PB) model, which parametrizes the amplitude in terms of a small number of free parameters. We demonstrate that this model is able to describe the recent

For the last several decades, the US Census Bureau has been using the AK composite estimation method to produce statistics on employment from the Current Population Survey (CPS) data. The CPS uses a rotating design and AK estimators are linear combinations of monthly survey weighted averages (called month-in-sample estimates) in each rotation groups. Denotin

In this paper, we address the challenging problem of spatial and temporal action detection in videos. We first develop an effective approach to localize frame-level action regions through integrating static and kinematic information by the early- and late-fusion detection scheme. With the intention of exploring important temporal connections among the detect

The spin-$j$ Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment is studied with a view to understanding how classical behaviour emerges as $j \to \infty$. It is proposed that it is necessary to include detector error, which if it is be to viewed as an essential aspect of the emergence of classicality, should be both minimal, i.e., no more than necessary to wash out quantum

We consider a family of infinite dimensional product measures with tails between Gaussian and exponential, which we call $p$-exponential measures. We study their measure-theoretic properties and in particular their concentration. Our findings are used to develop a general contraction theory of posterior distributions on nonparametric models with $p$-exponent

We extend some recent results on the Hausdorff convergence of level-sets for total variation regularized linear inverse problems. Dimensions higher than two and measurements in Banach spaces are considered. We investigate the relation between the dimension and the assumed integrability of the solution that makes such an extension possible. We also give some

The formation of self-organized patterns is key to the morphogenesis of multicellular organisms, although a comprehensive theory of biological pattern formation is still lacking. Here, we propose a minimal model combining tissue mechanics to morphogen turnover and transport in order to explore new routes to patterning. Our active description couples morphoge

The High Energy Spectroscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is pursuing a rich observational program in astroparticle physics. The latest results from H.E.S.S. on the search for dark matter towards the Galactic Center and dwarf galaxies, the test of Lorentz invariance, and the measurement of the cosmic-ray electron spectrum are presented.

Cryptocurrencies offer an alternative to traditional methods of electronic value exchange, promising anonymous, cash-like electronic transfers, but in practice they fall short for several key reasons. We consider the false choice between total surveillance, as represented by banking as currently implemented by institutions, and impenetrable lawlessness, as r

In this report, we experimented with several concepts regarding text streams analysis. We tested an implementation of Incremental Sparse TF-IDF (IS-TFIDF) and Incremental Cosine Similarity (ICS) with the use of bipartite graphs. We are using bipartite graphs - one type of node are documents, and the other type of nodes are words - to know what documents are

In semantic parsing for question-answering, it is often too expensive to collect gold parses or even gold answers as supervision signals. We propose to convert model outputs into a set of human-understandable statements which allow non-expert users to act as proofreaders, providing error markings as learning signals to the parser. Because model outputs were

In this study, assuming the Type-Y (flipped) 2HDM at the SM-like scenario as the theoretical framework, observability of the additional heavy neutral Higgs bosons $H$ and $A$ is investigated through the signal process chain $e^- e^+ \rightarrow AH \rightarrow b\bar{b}b\bar{b}$ at a linear collider operating at the center-of-mass energy of 1.5 TeV.

Inferring universal laws of the environment is an important ability of human intelligence as well as a symbol of general AI. In this paper, we take a step toward this goal such that we introduce a new challenging problem of inferring invariant physical equation from visual scenarios.

With recent advances in dynamic scanning probe microscopy techniques, it is now a routine to image the sub-molecular structure of molecules with atomically-engineered tips which are prepared via controlled modification of the tip termination and are chemically well-defined. The enhanced spatial resolution is possible as atomically-engineered tips can preserv

We investigate (non-)Abelian T-duality from the perspective of Poisson-Lie T-plurality. We show that sigma models related by duality/plurality are given not only by Manin triples obtained from decompositions of Drinfel'd double, but also by their particular embeddings, i.e. maps that relate bases of these decompositions. This allows us to get richer set of d

Adherence can be defined as "the extent to which patients take their medications as prescribed by their healthcare providers"[Osterberg and Blaschke, 2005]. World Health Organization's reports point out that, in developed countries, only about 50% of patients with chronic diseases correctly follow their treatments. This severely compromises the efficiency of

Intermediate-richness galaxy groups are an important test ground for MOND. First, they constitute a distinct type of galactic systems, with their own evolution histories and underlying physical processes; secondly, they probe little-chartered regions of parameter space, as they have baryonic masses similar to massive galaxies, and similar velocity dispersion

Recent proposals and advances in quantum simulations, quantum cryptography and quantum communications substantially rely on quantum entanglement formation. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that dissipation destroys quantum coherence, coupling with a dissipative environment can also generate entanglement. We consider a system composed of two quantum dot qu

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are commonly thought to recognise objects by learning increasingly complex representations of object shapes. Some recent studies suggest a more important role of image textures. We here put these conflicting hypotheses to a quantitative test by evaluating CNNs and human observers on images with a texture-shape cue conflic

We prove a conjecture of Griffiths on the quasi-projectivity of images of period maps using algebraization results arising from o-minimal geometry. Specifically, we first develop a theory of analytic spaces and coherent sheaves that are definable with respect to a given o-minimal structure, and prove a GAGA-type theorem algebraizing definable coherent sheave

We discuss a minimization problem of the degree of the CM line bundle among all possible fillings of a polarized family with fixed general fibers. We show that such minimization implies the slope semistability of the fiber if the central fiber is smooth.

Stratifying patients at risk for postoperative complications may facilitate timely and accurate workups and reduce the burden of adverse events on patients and the health system.

We show that $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{Z}G)$, the unit group of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$, either satisfies Kazhdan's property (T) or is, up to commensurability, a non-trivial amalgamated product, in case $G$ is a finite group satisfying some mild conditions. Crucial in the proof is the construction of amalgamated decompositions of the elementary gro

We study the outliers for two models which have an interesting connection. On the one hand, we study a specific class of planar Coulomb gases which are determinantal. It corresponds to the case where the confining potential is the logarithmic potential of a radial probability measure. On the other hand, we study the zeros of random polynomials that appear to

Autonomous driving has attracted remarkable attention from both industry and academia. An important task is to estimate 3D properties(e.g.translation, rotation and shape) of a moving or parked vehicle on the road. This task, while critical, is still under-researched in the computer vision community - partially owing to the lack of large scale and fully-annot

Wind dispersal of seeds is one essential mechanisms for plants to proliferate and to invade new territories. In this paper we present a methodology that combines 3D-printing, a minimal theoretical model and experiments to determine the shape of multi-winged autorotating seeds, fruits and other diaspores that provide them with the optimal wind dispersion pote

In recent investigations, the problem of detecting edges given non-uniform Fourier data was reformulated as a sparse signal recovery problem with an l1-regularized least squares cost function. This result can also be derived by employing a Bayesian formulation. Specifically, reconstruction of an edge map using l1 regularization corresponds to a so-called typ

We give an overview of the general framework of forms of Bak, Tits and Wall, when restricting to vector spaces over fields, and describe its relationship to the classical notions of Hermitian, alternating and quadratic forms. We then prove a version of Witt's lemma in this context, showing in particular that the action of the group of isometries of a space e

The main goal of the paper is to establish a sufficient condition for a two-valenced association scheme to be schurian and separable. To this end, an analog of the Desargues theorem is introduced for a noncommutative geometry defined by the scheme in question. It turns out that if the geometry has enough many Desarguesian configurations, then under a technic

Satellites in electronic spectra are pure many-body effects, and their study has been of increasing interest in both experiment and theory. The presence of satellites due to plasmon excitations can be understood with simple models of electron-boson coupling. It is far from obvious how to match such a model to real spectra, where more than one kind of quasi-p

We report the observation of local superconductivity induced at the point contact formed between a normal metal tip and WC -- a triple point topological semimetal with super hardness. Remarkably, the maximum critical temperature is up to near 12 K but insensitive to the tip's magnetism. The lateral dimensions of the superconducting puddles were evaluated and

We introduce a structured approach to the construction of linear BGK-type collision operators ensuring that the resulting Lattice-Boltzmann methods are stable with respect to a weighted $L^2$-norm. The results hold for particular boundary conditions including periodic, bounce-back, and bounce-back with flipping of sign. This construction uses the equivalent

In this report we consider the set of the 16 possible convex tangrams that can be composed with the 7 so-called "Sei Shonagon Chie no Ita" (or Japanese) tans, see [10]. The set of these Japanese tans is slightly different from the well-known set of 7 Chinese tans with which 13 (out of those 16) convex tangrams can be formed. In [4], [6] the problem of determ

Distributed transactions on high-overhead TCP/IP-based networks were conventionally considered to be prohibitively expensive and thus were avoided at all costs. To that end, the primary goal of almost any existing partitioning scheme is to minimize the number of cross-partition transactions. However, with the new generation of fast RDMA-enabled networks, thi

In this paper, we investigate the convergence performance of a cooperative diffusion Gauss-Newton (GN) method, which is widely used to solve the nonlinear least squares problems (NLLS) due to the low computation cost compared with Newton's method. This diffusion GN collects the diversity of temporalspatial information over the network, which is used on local

In this paper we investigate the effect of nonlinear damping on the Lugiato-Lefever equation $$ \i \partial_t a = -(\i-\zeta) a - da_{xx} -(1+\i\kappa)|a|^2a +\i f $$ on the torus or the real line. For the case of the torus it is shown that for small nonlinear damping $\kappa>0$ stationary spatially periodic solutions exist on branches that bifurcate from co

We present a general framework of detrending methods of fluctuation analysis of which detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is one prominent example.

We consider the one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation coupled to a conservation law. As a parameter increases the system undergoes a Turing bifurcation.

We propose a new quantum approach for describing a system of $n$ interacting particles with variable mass connected by an unknown field with variable form ($n$-VMVF systems). Instead of assuming any particular nature for variation of the masses and field, we propose to find them from the laws that rule the dynamic of the systems. In this context, we consider

An image is not just a collection of objects, but rather a graph where each object is related to other objects through spatial and semantic relations. Using relational reasoning modules, such as the non-local module \cite{wang2017non}, can therefore improve object detection.

Global average pooling (GAP) allows to localize discriminative information for recognition [40]. While GAP helps the convolution neural network to attend to the most discriminative features of an object, it may suffer if that information is missing e.g. due to camera viewpoint changes.

Matter on large scales in the Universe is distributed in form of sheets, filaments and spherical halos.

The process of RNA base fraying (i.e. the transient opening of the termini of a helix) is involved in many aspects of RNA dynamics. We here use molecular dynamics simulations and Markov state models to characterize the kinetics of RNA fraying and its sequence and direction dependence. In particular, we first introduce a method for determining biomolecular dy

We explore the potential of a popular distributional semantics vector space model, word2vec, for capturing meaningful relationships in ecological (complex polyphonic) music. More precisely, the skip-gram version of word2vec is used to model slices of music from a large corpus spanning eight musical genres. In this newly learned vector space, a metric based o

In this article, we construct both the $[sc]_T[\bar{s}\bar{c}]_A+[sc]_A[\bar{s}\bar{c}]_T$ type and $[sc]_T[\bar{s}\bar{c}]_V-[sc]_V[\bar{s}\bar{c}]_T$ type axialvector currents with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ to study the mass of the $X(4140)$ with the QCD sum rules. The predicted masses support assigning the $X(4140)$ to be the $[sc]_T[\bar{s}\bar{c}]_V-[sc]_V[\bar{s

We combine Recurrent Neural Networks with Tensor Product Representations to learn combinatorial representations of sequential data. This improves symbolic interpretation and systematic generalisation. Our architecture is trained end-to-end through gradient descent on a variety of simple natural language reasoning tasks, significantly outperforming the latest

In this paper, a new sequential surrogate-based optimization (SSBO) algorithm is developed, which aims to improve the global search ability and local search efficiency for the global optimization of expensive black-box models. The proposed method involves three basic sub-criteria to infill new samples asynchronously to balance the global exploration and loca

As well known, classical catenoids in ${\mathbf{R}}^3$ possess logarithmic growth at infinity. In this note we prove that the case of nonlocal minimal surfaces is significantly different, and indeed all nonlocal catenoids must grow at least linearly. More generally, we prove that stationary sets for the nonlocal perimeter functional which grow sublinearly at

The recently launched NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission is going to collect lightcurves for a few hundred million of stars and we expect to increase the number of pulsating stars to analyze compared to the few thousand stars observed by the CoRoT, $\textit{Kepler}$ and K2 missions. However, most of the TESS targets have not yet been p

Compared with facial emotion recognition on categorical model, the dimensional emotion recognition can describe numerous emotions of the real world more accurately. Most prior works of dimensional emotion estimation only considered laboratory data and used video, speech or other multi-modal features. The effect of these methods applied on static images in th
