Nonequilibrium low temperature phase in pyrochlore iridate Y$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$: Possibility of glass-like dynamics

Geometrical frustration and spin-orbit coupling effect together play vital role to influence properties in pyrochlore based iridium oxides. Here we have investigated detailed structural, magnetic, thermodynamic and transport properties of pyrochlore iridate Y$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$. Magnetization data show onset of magnetic irreversibility around temperature $T_{irr}$ $\sim$ 160 K, however, no sign of long-range type ferromagnetic ordering is observed below $T_{irr}$. Specific heat data show no visible anomaly across $T_{irr}$, and the analysis of data indicate sizable density of states across Fermi level. Temperature dependent x-ray diffraction measurements show no change in structural symmetry down to low temperature. The material, on the other hand, shows significant relaxation and aging behavior similar to glassy dynamics. The electronic charge transport in this highly insulating system is found to follow power law dependence with temperature. The material shows negative magnetoresistance which is explained with quantum interference effect.

Sampling Based Approaches to Handle Imbalances in Network Traffic Dataset for Machine Learning Techniques

Network traffic data is huge, varying and imbalanced because various classes are not equally distributed. Machine learning (ML) algorithms for traffic analysis uses the samples from this data to recommend the actions to be taken by the network administrators as well as training. Due to imbalances in dataset, it is difficult to train machine learning algorithms for traffic analysis and these may give biased or false results leading to serious degradation in performance of these algorithms. Various techniques can be applied during sampling to minimize the effect of imbalanced instances. In this paper various sampling techniques have been analysed in order to compare the decrease in variation in imbalances of network traffic datasets sampled for these algorithms. Various parameters like missing classes in samples, probability of sampling of the different instances have been considered for comparison.

Entropy Stable Numerical Schemes for Two-Fluid Plasma Equations

Two-fluid ideal plasma equations are a generalized form of the ideal MHD equations in which electrons and ions are considered as separate species. The design of efficient numerical schemes for the these equations is complicated on account of their non-linear nature and the presence of stiff source terms, especially for high charge to mass ratios and for low Larmor radii. In this article, we design entropy stable finite difference schemes for the two-fluid equations by combining entropy conservative fluxes and suitable numerical diffusion operators. Furthermore, to overcome the time step restrictions imposed by the stiff source terms, we devise time-stepping routines based on implicit-explicit (IMEX)-Runge Kutta (RK) schemes. The special structure of the two-fluid plasma equations is exploited by us to design IMEX schemes in which only local (in each cell) linear equations need to be solved at each time step. Benchmark numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the robustness and accuracy of these schemes.
