In general, estimating software effort using a Use Case Point (UCP) size requires the use of productivity as a second prediction factor. However, there are three drawbacks to this approach: (1) there is no clear procedure for predicting productivity in the early stages, (2) the use of fixed or limited productivity ratios does not allow research to reflect th

Spin can influence the dynamics of the already chaotic black hole triplet system. We follow this problem in two sets of simulations: first, the Agekian-Anosova region (or region D), and second, using Pythagorean triangles. We use ARCcode, an N-body code that performs numerical integration of orbits. This code includes post-Newtonian corrections, which we inc

We show that the edges of any graph $G$ containing two edge-disjoint spanning trees can be blue/red coloured so that the blue and red graphs are connected and the blue and red degrees at each vertex differ by at most four. This improves a result of H\"orsch. We discuss variations of the question for digraphs, infinite graphs and a computational question, and

Although artificial intelligence-based perception (AIP) using deep neural networks (DNN) has achieved near human level performance, its well-known limitations are obstacles to the safety assurance needed in autonomous applications. These include vulnerability to adversarial inputs, inability to handle novel inputs and non-interpretability. While research in

The magnetar SGR J1935+2154 underwent a new active episode on 2020 April 27-28, when a forest of hundreds of X-ray bursts and a large enhancement of the persistent flux were detected. For the first time, a radio burst with properties similar to those of fast radio bursts and with a X-ray counterpart was observed from this source, showing that magnetars can p

Disentangling anatomical and contrast information from medical images has gained attention recently, demonstrating benefits for various image analysis tasks. Current methods learn disentangled representations using either paired multi-modal images with the same underlying anatomy or auxiliary labels (e.g., manual delineations) to provide inductive bias for d

Community formation in socio-spatial human networks is one of the important mechanisms for mitigating hazard impacts of extreme weather events. Research is scarce regarding latent network characteristics shaping community formation in human mobility networks during natural disasters. Here, we examined human mobility networks in Harris County, Texas, in the c

Active learning, which effectively collects informative unlabeled data for annotation, reduces the demand for labeled data. In this work, we propose to retrieve unlabeled samples with a local sensitivity and hardness-aware acquisition function. The proposed method generates data copies through local perturbations and selects data points whose predictive like

Particle deposition in fully-developed turbulent pipe flow is quantified taking into account uncertainty in electric charge, van der Waals strength, and temperature effects. A framework is presented for obtaining variance-based sensitivity in multiphase flow systems via a multi-fidelity Monte Carlo approach that optimally manages model evaluations for a give

Implicit neural rendering, especially Neural Radiance Field (NeRF), has shown great potential in novel view synthesis of a scene. However, current NeRF-based methods cannot enable users to perform user-controlled shape deformation in the scene. While existing works have proposed some approaches to modify the radiance field according to the user's constraints

Meetings are typically considered to be the fuel of an organization's productivity -- a place where employees discuss ideas and make collective decisions. However, it is no secret that meetings are also often perceived as wasteful vacuums, depleting employee morale and productivity, likely due to the fact that current technologies fall short in fully support

As a fundamental magnetic parameter, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), has gained a great deal of attention in the last two decades due to its critical role in formation of magnetic skyrmions. Recent discoveries of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnets has also gained a great deal of attention due to appealing physical properties, such as g

Herein, we report CeIrIn5 thin-film growth on a MgF2 (001) substrate using pulsed laser deposition technique. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the thin films were either mainly a-axis-oriented (TF1) or a combination of a- and c-axis-oriented (TF2). The characteristic features of Kondo coherence temperature (Tcoh) and superconductivity (Tc) were clearly

Centrality measures quantify the importance of a node in a network based on different geometric or diffusive properties, and focus on different scales. Here, we adopt a geometrical viewpoint to define a multi-scale centrality in networks. Given a metric distance between the nodes, we measure the centrality of a node by its tendency to be close to geodesics b

A narrow near-threshold proton-emitting resonance (Ex = 11.4 MeV, J$^{\pi}$ = 1/2$^{+}$ and $\Gamma_{p}$ = 4.4 keV) was directly observed in $^{11}$B via proton resonance scattering. This resonance was previously inferred in the $\beta$-delayed proton emission of the neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Be. The good agreement between both experimental results serves

The unprecedented quality of the asteroseismic data of solar-type stars made available by space missions such as NASA's Kepler telescope are making it possible to explore stellar interior structures.

Implantable bioelectronics often relies on an RF-wireless link for communication and/or remote powering. Propagation through biological media is very lossy, and previous work has shown that these losses can be separated into three parts: the losses incurred by the propagating fields, the reflections at media interfaces, and the coupling of the reactive near

We show the weak convergence, up to extraction of a subsequence, of the empirical measure for the Keller-Segel system of particles in both subcritical and critical cases, for general initial conditions. This particle system consists of $N$ planar Brownian motions interacting through a Coulombian attractive force, which is quite singular. In the subcritical c

In this article, we introduce \textit{Mallows processes}, defined to be continuous-time c\`adl\`ag processes with Mallows distributed marginals. We show that such processes exist and that they can be restricted to have certain natural properties. In particular, we prove that there exists \textit{regular} Mallows processes, defined to have their inversions nu

We classify the finite groups of orthogonal transformations in 4-space, and we study these groups from the viewpoint of their geometric action, using polar orbit polytopes. For one type of groups (the toroidal groups), we develop a new classification based on their action on an invariant torus, while we rely on classic results for the remaining groups. As a

In this work, we study the magnetic field morphology of selected star-forming clouds spread over the galactic latitude ($b$) range, $-10^\circ$ to $10^\circ$. The polarimetric observation of clouds CB24, CB27 and CB188 are conducted to study the magnetic field geometry of those clouds from ARIES, Manora Peak, Nainital, India. These observations are combined

In this paper we investigate homogenization results for the principal eigenvalue problem associated to $1$-homogeneous, uniformly elliptic, second-order operators. Under rather general assumptions, we prove that the principal eigenpair associated to an oscillatory operator converges to the eigenpair associated to the effective one. This includes the case of

Using depolarized light scattering, we have recently shown that structural relaxation in a broad range of supercooled liquids follows, to good approximation, a generic line shape with high-frequency power law $\omega^{-1/2}$.

We demonstrate a mechanism of significant reduction, including complete elimination, of the external magnetic field required for the stabilization of a skyrmion lattice (SkX) phase in a frustrated triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet (AFM) with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. It is achieved by coupling of such a AFM plane to a reference ferromagnetic

We prove that an algebraic group over a field $k$is affine precisely when its Picard group is torsion, and show that in this case the Picard group is finite when $k$ is perfect, and the product of a finite group of order prime to $p$ and a $p$-primary group of finite exponent when $k$ is imperfect of characteristic $p$.

The equilibration of electronic carriers in metals after excitation by an ultra-short laser pulse provides an important class of non-equilibrium phenomena in metals and allows measuring the effective electron-phonon coupling parameter. Since the observed decay of the electronic distribution is governed by the interplay of both electron-electron and electron-

The dependence of the black hole (BH) shadow and thermodynamics may be structured in the regular spacetime. Taking the regular Bardeen-AdS BH as an example, the relationship between the shadow radius and the event horizon radius is derived. It is found that these two radii display a positive correlation, implying that the BH temperature can be rewritten as a

Hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) is a popular algorithm for clustering data, but despite its importance, no dynamic algorithms for HAC with good theoretical guarantees exist. In this paper, we study dynamic HAC on edge-weighted graphs. As single-linkage HAC reduces to computing a minimum spanning forest (MSF), our first result is a parallel batch-

We introduce a new modified Navier-Stokes model in $3$ dimensions by modifying the convection term in the ordinary Navier-Stokes equations. This is done by replacing the convective term $(\textbf{u}\cdot \nabla) \textbf{u}$ by $(\textbf{v}\cdot \nabla)\textbf{u}$ with $\textbf{v}=c\textbf{u}/\sqrt{c^2+|\textbf{u}|^2}$ where $c$ is the speed of light. Thus we

We identify natural symmetries of each rigid higher braided category. Specifically, we construct a functorial action by the continuous group $\Omega \mathsf{O}(n)$ on each $\mathcal{E}_{n-1}$-monoidal $(g,d)$-category $\mathcal{R}$ in which each object is dualizable (for $n\geq 2$, $d \geq 0$, $d \leq g \leq \infty$). This action determines a canonical actio

Recent results show that several important graph classes can be embedded as subgraphs of strong products of simpler graphs classes (paths, small cliques, or graphs of bounded treewidth). This paper develops general techniques to bound the chromatic number (and its popular variants, such as fractional, clustered, or defective chromatic number) of the strong p

Almost 25 years ago, Jarzynski published a paper in which it was asserted: the work done, W, in driving a system from state A to state B, characterized by the Helmholtz free energies FA and FB, satisfies an equality in which an average over an ensemble of measurements for W determines the difference in Free energy. Several features of this result require mor

How should a robot speak in a formal, quiet and dark, or a bright, lively and noisy environment? By designing robots to speak in a more social and ambient-appropriate manner we can improve perceived awareness and intelligence for these agents. We describe a process and results toward selecting robot voice styles for perceived social appropriateness and ambia

Ti2O3 exhibits a unique metal-insulator transition (MIT) at approximately 450 K over a wide temperature range of ~ 150 K. This broad MIT accompanied by lattice deformation differs from the sharp MITs observed in most other transition-metal oxides. A long-standing issue is determining the role of electron-electron correlation in the electronic structure and M

We study the following problem: describe the triplets $(\Omega,g,\mu)$, $\mu=\rho\,dx$, where $g= (g^{ij}(x))$ is the (co)metric associated with the symmetric second order differential operator $L (f) = \frac{1}{\rho}\sum_{ij} \partial_i (g^{ij} \rho \partial_j f)$ defined on a domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^d$ and such that there exists an orthonormal basis

The nonadditive entropy introduced by Tsallis in 1988 has been used in different fields and generalizes the Boltzmann entropy extending the possibilities of application of the statistical methods developed in the context of Mechanics.

The X8.2-class limb flare on September 10, 2017 is among the best studied solar flare events owing to its great similarity to the standard flare model and the broad coverage by multiple spacecraft and ground-based observations. These multiwavelength observations indicate that electron acceleration and transport are efficient in the reconnection and flare loo

Factor analysis (FA) and principal component analysis (PCA) are popular statistical methods for summarizing and explaining the variability in multivariate datasets. By default, FA and PCA assume the number of components or factors to be known \emph{a priori}. However, in practice the users first estimate the number of factors or components and then perform F

Terahertz ultra-massive multiple-input multiple-output (THz UM-MIMO) is envisioned as one of the key enablers of 6G wireless systems. Due to the joint effect of its array aperture and small wavelength, the near-field region of THz UM-MIMO is greatly enlarged. The high-dimensional channel of such systems thus consists of a stochastic mixture of far and near f

There are rising scenarios in communication systems, where the noises exhibit impulsive behavior and are not adequate to be modeled as the Gaussian distribution.

We consider the Saintillan--Shelley kinetic model of active rodlike particles in Stokes flow (Saintillan & Shelley 2008a,b), for which the uniform, isotropic suspension of pusher particles is known to be unstable in certain settings. Through weakly nonlinear analysis accompanied by numerical simulations, we determine exactly how the isotropic steady state lo

We prove trace theorems for weighted mixed norm Sobolev spaces in the upper-half space where the weight is a power function of the vertical variable.

For exponentially closed ordinals $\alpha$, we consider recognizability of constructible subsets of $\alpha$ for $\alpha$-(w)ITRMs and their distribution in the constructible hierarchy. In particular, for $\alpha$-ITRMs, we show that, there are lost melodies that are recognizable without parameters for all $\alpha$, that the iterated recognizability is absol

Promotion and rowmotion are intriguing actions in dynamical algebraic combinatorics which have inspired much work in recent years. In this paper, we study $P$-strict labelings of a finite, graded poset $P$ of rank $n$ and labels at most $q$, which generalize semistandard Young tableaux with $n$ rows and entries at most $q$, under promotion. These $P$-strict

By refining an idea of Farrell, we present a sufficient condition in terms of the Jiang subgroup for the vanishing of signature and Hirzebruch's $\chi_y$-genus on compact smooth and K\"{a}hler manifolds respectively. Along this line we show that the $\chi_y$-genus of a non-positively curved compact K\"{a}hler manifold vanishes when the center of its fundamen

In this paper we are concerned with the Bohnenblust--Hille type inequalities for certain polynomials of bounded degree but of very large number of variables. As the polynomials will be defined on groups, one can think about the problem as the estimate of Sidon constants. In most cases the sharp constants are unknown. We estimate the universal constant concer

We introduce a privacy measure called pointwise maximal leakage, generalizing the pre-existing notion of maximal leakage, which quantifies the amount of information leaking about a secret $X$ by disclosing a single outcome of a (randomized) function calculated on $X$. Pointwise maximal leakage is a robust and operationally meaningful privacy measure that cap

In our model, processors have locations on a conceptual two-dimensional grid, and their distance therein determines their communication cost. In particular, we introduc

Let $G$ be a second-countable, locally compact group. In this article we study amenable $G$-actions on Kirchberg algebras that admit an approximately central embedding of a canonical quasi-free action on the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_\infty$. If $G$ is discrete, this coincides with the class of amenable and outer $G$-actions on Kirchberg algebras. We show t

In this paper, we study the quantum states generated from two and three linearly interacting quantum harmonic oscillators. We consider the possibility that one of the oscillators be under the influence of a classical external source and obtain the total and reduced density matrices related to the system.

Humans are remarkable at navigating and moving through dynamic and complex spaces, such as crowded streets.

In this paper, we propose a novel semiquantum private comparison (SQPC) protocol based on Bell states, which enables one quantum user and one classical user to compare the equality of their private inputs with the help of a semi-honest quantum third party (TP).

The ground-state Hanle effect (GSHE) in alkali-metal atomic vapors using a single circularly polarized wave underlies one of the most robust and simplest techniques in atomic magnetometry.

NaTiSi2O6 is an exemplary compound, showing an orbital assisted spin-Peierls phase transition at Tc = 210 K. We present the results of 29Si and 23Na NMR measurements of NaTiSi2O6. The use of magic angle spinning techniques unambiguously shows that only one dynamically averaged silicon site can be seen at T > Tc. At cooling, the 29Si MAS NMR spectrum shows in

We develop a general approach to study three-dimensional Schroedinger operators with confining potentials depending on the distance to a surface. The main idea is to apply parallel coordinates based on the surface but outside its cut locus in the Euclidean space. If the surface is asymptotically planar in a suitable sense, we give an estimate on the location

We consider a new model for complex networks whose underlying mechanism is extending dense subgraphs. In the frustum model, we iteratively extend cliques over discrete-time steps. For many choices of the underlying parameters, graphs generated by the model densify over time. In the special case of the cone model, generated graphs provably satisfy properties

We consider a risk model with a counting process whose intensity is a Markovian shot-noise process, to resolve one of the disadvantages of the Cram\'er-Lundberg model, namely the constant jump intensity of the Poisson process. Due to this structure, we can apply the theory of PDMPs on a multivariate process containing the intensity and the reserve process, w

A dearth of close-in planets orbiting rapid rotators was reported almost a decade ago. According to this view only slowly spinning stars with rotation periods longer than 5-10 days would host planets with orbital periods shorter than 2 or 3 days. This Letter brings an enlarged and more detailed analysis that led us to the question: Is there really a dearth i

In this article we develop formal category theory within augmented virtual double categories. Notably we formalise the classical notions of Kan extension, Yoneda embedding $\text y_A\colon A \to \hat A$, exact square, total category and 'small' cocompletion; the latter in an appropriate sense. Throughout we compare our formalisations to their corresponding $

Business process compliance is a key area of business process management and aims at ensuring that processes obey to compliance constraints such as regulatory constraints or business rules imposed on them. Process compliance can be checked during process design time based on verification of process models and at runtime based on monitoring the compliance sta

We show that the geometric scaling of the dipole cross section can be explained using standard DGLAP perturbative evolution. The DGLAP improved saturation model due to the Laplace transforms method is considered at LO and NNLO approximations from the experimental data by relying on a Froissart-bounded parametrization of $F_{2}(x,Q^{2})$. These results are co

Extended shallow water wave equations are derived, using the method of asymptotic expansions, from the Euler (or water wave) equations. These extended models are valid one order beyond the usual weakly nonlinear, long wave approximation, incorporating all appropriate dispersive and nonlinear terms. Specifically, first we derive the extended Korteweg-de Vries

In recent years, we know that the interaction with images has increased. Image similarity involves fetching similar-looking images abiding by a given reference image. The target is to find out whether the image searched as a query can result in similar pictures. We are using the BigTransfer Model, which is a state-of-art model itself. BigTransfer(BiT) is ess

Logic Programs with Ordered Disjunction (LPODs) extend classical logic programs with the capability of expressing preferential disjunctions in the heads of program rules. The initial semantics of LPODs, although simple and quite intuitive, is not purely model-theoretic. A consequence of this is that certain properties of programs appear non-trivial to formal

An information theoretic privacy mechanism design problem for two scenarios is studied where the private data is either hidden or observable. In each scenario, privacy leakage constraints are considered using two different measures. In these scenarios the private data is hidden or observable. In the first scenario, an agent observes useful data $Y$ that is c

Natural language processing is used for solving a wide variety of problems. Some scholars and interest groups working with language resources are not well versed in programming, so there is a need for a good graphical framework that allows users to quickly design and test natural language processing pipelines without the need for programming. The existing fr

We introduce a new consensus based optimization (CBO) method where interacting particle system is driven by jump-diffusion stochastic differential equations. We study well-posedness of the particle system as well as of its mean-field limit. The major contributions of this paper are proofs of convergence of the interacting particle system towards the mean-fie
