Rational streams coalgebraically
We study rational streams (over a field) from a coalgebraic perspective. Exploiting the finality of the set of streams, we present an elementary and uniform proof of the equivalence of four notions of representability of rational streams: by finite dimensional linear systems; by finite stream circuits; by finite weight...

Dynamic Coulomb blockade in single-lead quantum dots
We investigate transient dynamic response of an Anderson impurity quantum dot to a family of ramp-up driving voltage applied to the single coupling lead. Transient current is calculated based on a hierarchical equations of motion formalism for open dissipative systems [J. Chem. Phys. 128, 234703 (2008)]. In the nonline...

Riemannian Metric and Geometric Mean for Positive Semidefinite Matrices of Fixed Rank
This paper introduces a new metric and mean on the set of positive semidefinite matrices of fixed-rank. The proposed metric is derived from a well-chosen Riemannian quotient geometry that generalizes the reductive geometry of the positive cone and the associated natural metric. The resulting Riemannian space has strong...

Measurement of D0-D0bar mixing from a time-dependent amplitude analysis of D0 -> K+ pi- pi0 decays
We present evidence of $D^0$-$\bar{D^0}$ mixing using a time-dependent amplitude analysis of the decay D0->K+pi-pi0 in a data sample of 384 fb^-1 collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider at SLAC. Assuming CP conservation, we measure the mixing parameters x'_{Kpipi0} = [2.61^{+0.57}_{-0.68} (stat.) ...

Analysis of a stochastic chemical system close to a SNIPER bifurcation of its mean-field model
A framework for the analysis of stochastic models of chemical systems for which the deterministic mean-field description is undergoing a saddle-node infinite period (SNIPER) bifurcation is presented. Such a bifurcation occurs for example in the modelling of cell-cycle regulation. It is shown that the stochastic system ...

Robust Recovery of Signals From a Structured Union of Subspaces

A prevalent assumption which often guarantees recovery from the given measurements is that $x$ lies in a known subspace. Recently, there has been growing interest in nonlinear but structured signal model...

In this note we provide explicit expressions and expansions for a special function which appears in nonparametric estimation of log-densities. This function returns the integral of a log-linear function on a simplex of arbitrary dimension. In particular it is used in the R-package "LogCondDEAD" by Cule et al. (2007).

Constraints on New Physics in MFV models: a model-independent analysis of Delta F=1 processes
We analyse the constraints on dimension-six Delta F=1 effective operators in models respecting the MFV hypothesis, both in the one-Higgs doublet case and in the two-Higgs doublet scenario with large tan beta. The constraints are derived mainly from the b -> s inclusive observables measured at the B factories. The impli...

Architectures for a quantum random access memory
A random access memory, or RAM, is a device that, when interrogated, returns the content of a memory location in a memory array. A quantum RAM, or qRAM, allows one to access superpositions of memory sites, which may contain either quantum or classical information. RAMs and qRAMs with n-bit addresses can access 2^n memo...

Realization of a feedback controlled flashing ratchet

We have experimentally realized such a feedback ratchet using an optical line trap, and observed that use of feedback inc...

A Necessary Condition for Individual Time-Steps in SPH Simulations
We show that the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, used with individual time-steps in the way described in the literature, cannot handle strong explosion problems correctly. In the individual time-step scheme, particles determine their time-steps essentially from a local Courant condition. Thus they cannot ...

Tensorial hydrodynamic slip
We describe a tensorial generalization of the Navier slip boundary condition and illustrate its use in solving for flows around anisotropic textured surfaces. Tensorial slip can be derived from molecular or microstructural theories or simply postulated as an constitutive relation, subject to certain general constraints...

Notes on toric Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifolds and AdS_4/CFT_3
We study the geometry and topology of two infinite families Y^{p,k} of Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifolds, that are expected to be AdS_4/CFT_3 dual to families of N=2 superconformal field theories in three dimensions. These manifolds, labelled by two positive integers p and k, are Lens space bundles S^3/Z_p over CP^2 and ...

Toy quantum categories
We show that Rob Spekken's toy quantum theory arises as an instance of our categorical approach to quantum axiomatics, as a (proper) subcategory of the dagger compact category FRel of finite sets and relations with the cartesian product as tensor, where observables correspond to dagger Frobenius algebras. This in parti...

Semiparametric detection of significant activation for brain fMRI
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) aims to locate activated regions in human brains when specific tasks are performed. The conventional tool for analyzing fMRI data applies some variant of the linear model, which is restrictive in modeling assumptions. To yield more accurate prediction of the time-course beha...

A parallel algorithm for the enumeration of benzenoid hydrocarbons
We present an improved parallel algorithm for the enumeration of fixed benzenoids B_h containing h hexagonal cells. We can thus extend the enumeration of B_h from the previous best h=35 up to h=50. Analysis of the associated generating function confirms to a very high degree of certainty that $B_h \sim A \kappa^h /h$ a...

In particular, we show that this quantity saturates exponentially fast to a constant when the sizes of the blocks are sufficiently large. Our result provide...

In this paper, we study two more challenging, yet equally fundamental problems. ...

In our model, the energy emitted by accreting black holes regulates the growth of the black holes themselves, drives galactic scal...
