    Obstacles on the sidewalk often block the path, limiting passage and resulting in frustration and wasted time, especially for citizens and visitors who use assistive devices (wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, canes, etc). To enable equal participation and use of the city, all citizens should be able to perform and complete their daily activities in a similar

    Implicit heterogeneous metaprogramming (a.k.a. offshoring) is an attractive approach for generating C with some correctness guarantees: generate OCaml code, where the correctness guarantees are easier to establish, and then map that code to C. The key idea is that simple imperative OCaml code looks like a non-standard notation for C. Regretfully, it is false

    It has been shown that temperatures near the horizon of rotating black holes can be about the phase transition temperature in the Standard Model with the Higgs boson. The distance from the horizon and gravitational and electromagnetic radiation emitted in collisions between particles have been numerically estimated.

    We study the nucleolus in a class of cooperative games where agents collaborate by sharing demands and production-distribution capacities across multiple markets. These production-distribution games form a structured subclass of linear production games and capture applications such as horizontal collaboration in logistics. While computing the nucleolus is ge

    Recently, many neural network-based image compression methods have shown promising results superior to the existing tool-based conventional codecs. However, most of them are often trained as separate models for different target bit rates, thus increasing the model complexity. Therefore, several studies have been conducted for learned compression that support

    Asymptotic stability is with no doubts an essential property to be studied for any system. This analysis often becomes very difficult for coupled systems and even harder when different timescales appear. The singular perturbation method allows to decouple a full system into what are called the reduced order system and the boundary layer system, to get simple

    We present theoretical analysis of Hall effect in doped Mott-Hubbard insulator, considered as a prototype of cuprate superconductor. We consider the standard Hubbard model within DMFT approximation. As a typical case we consider the partially filled (hole doping) lower Hubbard band. We calculate the doping dependence of both the Hall coefficient and Hall num

    Subteam replacement is defined as finding the optimal candidate set of people who can best function as an unavailable subset of members (i.e., subteam) for certain reasons (e.g., conflicts of interests, employee churn), given a team of people embedded in a social network working on the same task. Prior investigations on this problem incorporate graph kernel

    In the present article the mass spectrum, decay constant, weak decay widths, life time and branching fraction ratios and electromagnetic transition widths are calculated for ground and radially excited $B_c$ meson. To calculate the above properties the Schr\"{o}dinger equation has been solved numerically for the potential. The potential employed consists of

    In this paper, we consider the problem of verifying pre-opacity for discrete-time control systems. Pre-opacity is an important information-flow security property that secures the intention of a system to execute some secret behaviors in the future. Existing works on pre-opacity only consider non-metric discrete systems, where it is assumed that intruders can

    We report the absolute frequency measurement of the 5s2 1S0-5s5p 3P0 transition in 87Sr optical lattice clock (Sr1) at National Time Service Center (NTSC). Its systematic frequency shifts are evaluated carefully with a total relative uncertainty of 5.1E10-17. The measured absolute frequency is 429 228 004 229 872.91(18) Hz with a relative uncertainty of 4.13

    We study the barrier that gives the optimal time to exercise an American option written on a time-dependent Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process, a diffusion often adopted by practitioners to model commodity prices and interest rates. By framing the optimal exercise of the American option as a problem of optimal stopping and relying on probabilistic arguments, we pro

    We prove that quasi-isometries of horospherical products of hyperbolic spaces are geometrically rigid in the sense that they are uniformly close to product maps, this is a generalisation of the result obtained by Eskin, Fisher and Whyte in [7]. Our work covers the case of solvable Lie groups of the form R ___ (N 1 x N 2), where N 1 and N 2 are nilpotent Lie

    Motivated by crowd-sourcing applications, we consider a model where we have partial observations from a bivariate isotonic n x d matrix with an unknown permutation $\pi$ * acting on its rows. Focusing on the twin problems of recovering the permutation $\pi$ * and estimating the unknown matrix, we introduce a polynomial-time procedure achieving the minimax ri

    By revisiting Tian's peak section method, we obtain a localization principle of the Bergman kernels on K\"ahler manifolds with complex hyperbolic cusps, which is a generalization of Auvray-Ma-Marinescu's localization result Bergman kernels on punctured Riemann surfaces [Auvray-Ma-Marinescu, Math. Ann., 2021]. Then we give some further estimates when the metr

    Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) unifies radar sensing and communication, and improves the efficiency of the spectrum, energy and hardware. In this paper, we investigate the ISAC beamforming design in a downlink system with a communication user and a point radar target to be perceived. The design criterion for radar sensing is the mutual informati

    The hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) approach is an accurate method to simulate open system quantum dynamics, which allows for systematic convergence to numerically exact results. To represent the effects of the bath, the reservoir correlation functions are usually decomposed into the summation of multiple exponential terms in the HEOM method. Since t

    Bilevel programming has recently received attention in the literature due to its wide range of applications, including reinforcement learning and hyper-parameter optimization. However, it is widely assumed that the underlying bilevel optimization problem is solved either by a single machine or, in the case of multiple machines connected in a star-shaped netw

    In this study, we propose a novel design of the triangular mesoscale Janus prisms for the generation of the long photonic hook. The numerical simulations based on the finite-difference time-domain method are used to examine the formation mechanism of the photonic hook. The electric intensity distributions near the micro-prisms are calculated for operating at

    Recent measurement of the primordial $^4$He abundance $Y_p$ from EMPRESS suggests a cosmological scenario with the effective number of neutrino species deviated from the standard value and non-zero lepton asymmetry. We argue that the extension of the standard cosmological model would be more demanded when the Hubble tension is taken into account, in which de

    Large annotated datasets are required to train segmentation networks. In medical imaging, it is often difficult, time consuming and expensive to create such datasets, and it may also be difficult to share these datasets with other researchers. Different AI models can today generate very realistic synthetic images, which can potentially be openly shared as th

    In this work, we estimate the depth in which domestic waste are located in space from a mobile robot in outdoor scenarios. As we are doing this calculus on a broad range of space (0.3 - 6.0 m), we use RGB-D camera and LiDAR fusion. With this aim and range, we compare several methods such as average, nearest, median and center point, applied to those which ar

    In this paper, we provide the structure of Hopf graphs associated to pairs $(G, \mathfrak{r})$ consisting of groups $G$ together with ramification datas $\mathfrak{r}$ and their Leavitt path algebras. Consequently, we characterize the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, the stable rank, the purely infinite simplicity and the existence of a nonzero finite dimensional

    The NIO1 experiment hosts a flexible RF H- ion source, developed by INFN-LNL and Consorzio RFX to improve the present concepts for the production and acceleration of negative ions. The source is also used to benchmark the instrumentation dedicated to the ITER neutral beam test facility. Many diagnostics are installed in NIO1 to characterize the source and th

    For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, let $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F}) = \{F\setminus G: F, G \in \mathcal{F}\}$ be the collection of all (setwise) differences of $\mathcal{F}$. The family $\mathcal{F}$ is called a $t$-intersecting family, if for some positive integer $t$ and any two members $F, G \in \mathcal{F}$ we have $|F\cap G| \geq

    We generalize the results for Banach algebras of pseudodifferential operators obtained by Gr\"ochenig and Rzeszotnik in [24] to quasi-algebras of Fourier integral operators. Namely, we introduce quasi-Banach algebras of symbol classes for Fourier integral operators that we call generalized metaplectic operators, including pseudodifferential operators. This t

    We present a general, constructive method to derive thermodynamically consistent models and consistent dynamic boundary conditions hierarchically following the generalized Onsager principle. The method consists of two steps in tandem: the dynamical equation is determined by the generalized Onsager principle in the bulk firstly, and then the surface chemical

    Conceptual knowledge is fundamental to human cognition and knowledge bases. However, existing knowledge probing works only focus on evaluating factual knowledge of pre-trained language models (PLMs) and ignore conceptual knowledge. Since conceptual knowledge often appears as implicit commonsense behind texts, designing probes for conceptual knowledge is hard

    In this paper, a systematic investigation is carried out for the general solvability of multi-dimensional backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs) with the generators being super-linear in the adjustment variable $Z$. Two major situations are discussed: (i) When the free term is bounded with the dependence of the generator on $Z$ being of ``d

    Hom shifts form a class of multidimensional shifts of finite type (SFT) and consist of colorings of the grid Z2 where adjacent colours must be neighbors in a fixed finite undirected simple graph G. This class includes several important statistical physics models such as the hard square model. The gluing gap measures how far any two square patterns of size n

    Self-oscillations are the result of an efficient mechanism generating periodic motion from a constant power source. In quantum devices, these oscillations may arise due to the interaction between single electron dynamics and mechanical motion. We show that, due to the complexity of this mechanism, these self-oscillations may irrupt, vanish, or exhibit a bist

    Working over imperfect fields, we give a comprehensive classification of genus-one curves that are regular but not geometrically regular, extending the known case of geometrically reduced curves. The description is given intrinsically, in terms of twisted forms of standard models with respect to infinitesimal group scheme actions, and not via extrinsic equat

    Gravitational effects in colloidal suspensions can be easily turned off by matching the density of the solid microparticles with the one of the surrounding fluid. By studying the motion of catalytic microswimmers with tunable buoyant weight, we show that this strategy cannot be adopted for active colloidal suspensions. If the average buoyant weight decreases

    Packet loss concealment (PLC) is a tool for enhancing speech degradation caused by poor network conditions or underflow/overflow in audio processing pipelines. We propose a real-time recurrent method that leverages previous outputs to mitigate artefact of lost packets without the prior knowledge of loss mask. The proposed full-band recurrent network (FRN) mo

    This paper investigates negative sampling for contrastive learning in the context of audio-text retrieval. The strategy for negative sampling refers to selecting negatives (either audio clips or textual descriptions) from a pool of candidates for a positive audio-text pair. We explore sampling strategies via model-estimated within-modality and cross-modality

    In this paper, we systematically investigate the short periodic orbits of the Lorenz system by the aid of the similarity signature curve, and a novel method to find the short-period orbits of the Lorenz system is proposed. The similarity invariants are derived by the equivariant moving frame theory and then the similarity signature curve occurs along with th

    The muon anomalous magnetic moment continues to attract interest due to the potential tension between experimental measurement [1,2] and the Standard Model prediction [3]. The hadronic light-by-light contribution to the magnetic moment is one of the two diagrammatic topologies currently saturating the theoretical uncertainty. With the aim of improving precis

    In this work we present a fast occupancy map building approach based on the VDB datastructure. Existing log-odds based occupancy mapping systems are often not able to keep up with the high point densities and framerates of modern sensors. Therefore, we suggest a highly optimized approach based on a modern datastructure coming from a computer graphic backgrou

    Ferroelectrics are essential in low-dimensional memory devices for multi-bit storage and high-density integration. A polar structure is a necessary premise for ferroelectricity, mainly existing in compounds. However, it is usually rare in elemental materials, causing a lack of spontaneous electric polarization. Here, we report an unexpected room-temperature

    Downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) joint communication and sensing (JCAS) technologies have been individually studied for realizing sensing using DL and UL communication signals, respectively. Since the spatial environment and JCAS channels in the consecutive DL and UL JCAS time slots are generally unchanged, DL and UL JCAS may be jointly designed to achieve bett

    Joint communication and sensing (JCS) has become a promising technology for mobile networks because of its higher spectrum and energy efficiency. Up to now, the prevalent fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based sensing method for mobile JCS networks is on-grid based, and the grid interval determines the resolution. Because the mobile network usually has limited c

    The joint communication and sensing (JCAS) technique has drawn great attention due to its high spectrum efficiency by using the same transmit signal for both communication and sensing. Exploiting the correlation between the uplink (UL) channel and the sensing results, we propose a sensing-aided Kalman filter (SAKF)-based channel state information (CSI) estim

    We prove the real integral Hodge conjecture for several classes of real abelian threefolds. For instance, we prove the property for real abelian threefolds $A$ whose real locus $A(\mathbb R)$ is connected, and for real abelian threefolds $A$ which are a product $A = B \times E$ of an abelian surface $B$ and an elliptic curve $E$ with connected real locus $E(

    Speaker embedding extractors significantly influence the performance of clustering-based speaker diarisation systems. Conventionally, only one embedding is extracted from each speech segment. However, because of the sliding window approach, a segment easily includes two or more speakers owing to speaker change points. This study proposes a novel embedding ex

    On 9 October, 2022, an extremely powerful gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A, was detected by several instruments. Despite being obstructed by the Milky Way galaxy, its afterglow outburst outshone all other GRBs seen before. LHAASO detected several thousands very high energy photons extending up to 18 TeV. Detection of such energetic photons are unexpected due to

    Small to medium-scale data science experiments often rely on research software developed ad-hoc by individual scientists or small teams. Often there is no time to make the research software fast, reusable, and open access. The consequence is twofold. First, subsequent researchers must spend significant work hours building upon the proposed hypotheses or expe

    We propose a graph method for systematically searching for schemes that can generate multipartite entanglement in linear bosonic systems with heralding. While heralded entanglement generation offers more tolerable schemes for quantum tasks than postselected ones, it is generally more challenging to find appropriate circuits for multipartite systems.

    It is proved that there is no an algorithm for multiplication of $3\times3$ matrices of multiplicative length $\leq23$ that is invariant under a certain group isomorphic to $S_4\times S_3$. The proof makes use of description of the orbits of this group on decomposable tensors in the tensor cube $(M_3({\mathbb C}))^{\otimes3}$ which was obtained earlier.

    3D convolutional neural networks have revealed superior performance in processing volumetric data such as video and medical imaging. However, the competitive performance by leveraging 3D networks results in huge computational costs, which are far beyond that of 2D networks. In this paper, we propose a novel Hilbert curve-based cross-dimensionality distillati

    In studying the structure of derived categories of module categories of group algebras or their blocks, it is fundamental to classify support $\tau$-tilting modules. Koshio and Kozakai showed that the structure of support $\tau$-tilting modules over blocks of finite groups can be reduced to that of their subgroups under suitable conditions. We show that the

    A graph $G$ is called edge-magic if there exists a bijective function $f:V\left(G\right) \cup E\left(G\right)\rightarrow \left\{1, 2, \ldots , \left\vert V\left( G\right) \right\vert +\left\vert E\left( G\right) \right\vert \right\}$ such that $f\left(u\right) + f\left(v\right) + f\left(uv\right)$ is a constant for each $uv\in E\left( G\right) $. Also, $G$ i

    The current research establishes magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow with heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid over an exponentially extending sheet embedded in a porous medium. During this exploration, nanoparticles, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are recruited, while lamp fuel oil is being utilise

    This paper develops valid bootstrap inference methods for the dynamic short panel threshold regression. We show that the standard nonparametric bootstrap is inconsistent for the first-differenced generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator. The inconsistency arises from an $n^{1/4}$-consistent non-normal asymptotic distribution of the threshold estimator w

    In many Bayesian inverse problems the goal is to recover a spatially varying random field. Such problems are often computationally challenging especially when the forward model is governed by complex partial differential equations (PDEs). The challenge is particularly severe when the spatial domain is large and the unknown random field needs to be represente

    For a digraph $D=(V(D), A(D))$, and a set $S\subseteq V(D)$ with $r\in S$ and $|S|\geq 2$, a directed $(S, r)$-Steiner path or, simply, an $(S, r)$-path is a directed path $P$ started at $r$ with $S\subseteq V(P)$. Two $(S, r)$-paths are said to be arc-disjoint if they have no common arc. Two arc-disjoint $(S, r)$-paths are said to be internally disjoint if

    There are two methods for counting the number of occurrences of a string in another large string. One is to count the number of places where the string is found. The other is to determine how many pieces of string can be extracted without overlapping. The difference between the two becomes apparent when the string is part of a periodic pattern. This research

    Multi-intent detection and slot filling joint models are gaining increasing traction since they are closer to complicated real-world scenarios. However, existing approaches (1) focus on identifying implicit correlations between utterances and one-hot encoded labels in both tasks while ignoring explicit label characteristics; (2) directly incorporate multi-in

    Integrated sensing, computation, and communication (ISCC) has been recently considered as a promising technique for beyond 5G systems. In ISCC systems, the competition for communication and computation resources between sensing tasks for ambient intelligence and computation tasks from mobile devices becomes an increasingly challenging issue. To address it, w

    Space weather observations and modeling at Mars have begun but they must be significantly increased to support the future of Human Exploration on the Red Planet. A comprehensive space weather understanding of a planet without a global magnetosphere and a thin atmosphere is very different from our situation at Earth so there is substantial fundamental researc

    The tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly impacts cancer prognosis due to its immune composition. While therapies for altering the immune composition, including immunotherapies, have shown exciting results for treating hematological cancers, they are less effective for immunologically-cold, solid tumors. Spatial omics technologies capture the spatial or

    In this paper, we consider a sensor placement problem where sensors can move within a network over time. Sensor placement problem aims to select K sensor positions from N candidates where K < N. Most existing methods assume that sensor positions are static, i.e., they do not move, however, many mobile sensors like drones, robots, and vehicles can change thei

    We introduce a new class of algebras called endo-commutative algebras in which the square mapping preserves multiplication, and provide a complete classification of endo-commutative algebras of dimension 2 over the field F_2 of two elements. We list all multiplication tables of the algebras up to isomorphism. This clarifies the difference between commutativi
