Efficient Event Stream Super-Resolution with Recursive Multi-Branch Fusion

Current Event Stream Super-Resolution (ESR) methods overlook the redundant and complementary information present in positive and negative events within the event stream, employing a direct mixing approach for super-resolution, which may lead to detail loss and inefficiency. To address these issues, we propose an efficient Recursive Multi-Branch Information Fusion Network (RMFNet) that separates positive and negative events for complementary information extraction, followed by mutual supplementation and refinement. Particularly, we introduce Feature Fusion Modules (FFM) and Feature Exchange Modules (FEM). FFM is designed for the fusion of contextual information within neighboring event streams, leveraging the coupling relationship between positive and negative events to alleviate the misleading of noises in the respective branches. FEM efficiently promotes the fusion and exchange of information between positive and negative branches, enabling superior local information enhancement and global information complementation. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves over 17% and 31% improvement on synthetic and real datasets, accompanied by a 2.3X acceleration. Furthermore, we evaluate our method on two downstream event-driven applications, \emph{i.e.}, object recognition and video reconstruction, achieving remarkable results that outperform existing methods. Our code and Supplementary Material are available at https://github.com/Lqm26/RMFNet.

Homogenization of semilinear parabolic PDEs with the third boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the homogenization of the third boundary value problem for semilinear parabolic PDEs with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients in the weak sense. Our method is entirely probabilistic, and builds upon the work of [28] and [3]. Backward stochastic differential equations with singular coefficients play an important role in our approach.

Towards Training A Chinese Large Language Model for Anesthesiology

Medical large language models (LLMs) have gained popularity recently due to their significant practical utility. However, most existing research focuses on general medicine, and there is a need for in-depth study of LLMs in specific fields like anesthesiology. To fill the gap, we introduce Hypnos, a Chinese Anesthesia model built upon existing LLMs, e.g., Llama. Hypnos' contributions have three aspects: 1) The data, such as utilizing Self-Instruct, acquired from current LLMs likely includes inaccuracies. Hypnos implements a cross-filtering strategy to improve the data quality. This strategy involves using one LLM to assess the quality of the generated data from another LLM and filtering out the data with low quality. 2) Hypnos employs a general-to-specific training strategy that starts by fine-tuning LLMs using the general medicine data and subsequently improving the fine-tuned LLMs using data specifically from Anesthesiology. The general medical data supplement the medical expertise in Anesthesiology and enhance the effectiveness of Hypnos' generation. 3) We introduce a standardized benchmark for evaluating medical LLM in Anesthesiology. Our benchmark includes both publicly available instances from the Internet and privately obtained cases from the Hospital. Hypnos outperforms other medical LLMs in anesthesiology in metrics, GPT-4, and human evaluation on the benchmark dataset.

Manifolds of Lie-Group-Valued Cocycles and Discrete Cohomology

Consider a compact group $G$ acting on a real or complex Banach Lie group $U$, by automorphisms in the relevant category, and leaving a central subgroup $K\le U$ invariant. We define the spaces ${}_KZ^n(G,U)$ of $K$-relative continuous cocycles as those maps ${G^n\to U}$ whose coboundary is a $K$-valued $(n+1)$-cocycle; this applies to possibly non-abelian $U$, in which case $n=1$. We show that the ${}_KZ^n(G,U)$ are analytic submanifolds of the spaces $C(G^n,U)$ of continuous maps $G^n\to U$ and that they decompose as disjoint unions of fiber bundles over manifolds of $K$-valued cocycles. Applications include: (a) the fact that ${Z^n(G,U)\subset C(G^n,U)}$ is an analytic submanifold and its orbits under the adjoint of the group of $U$-valued $(n-1)$-cochains are open; (b) hence the cohomology spaces $H^n(G,U)$ are discrete; (c) for unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$ with $A$ finite-dimensional the space of morphisms $A\to B$ is an analytic manifold and nearby morphisms are conjugate under the unitary group $U(B)$; (d) the same goes for $A$ and $B$ Banach, with $A$ finite-dimensional and semisimple; (e) and for spaces of projective representations of compact groups in arbitrary $C^*$ algebras (the last recovering a result of Martin's).

Optimal battery thermal management for electric vehicles with battery degradation minimization

The control of a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is essential for the thermal safety, energy efficiency, and durability of electric vehicles (EVs) in hot weather. To address the battery cooling optimization problem, this paper utilizes dynamic programming (DP) to develop an online rule-based control strategy. Firstly, an electrical-thermal-aging model of the $\rm LiFePO_4$ battery pack is established. A control-oriented onboard BTMS model is proposed and verified under different speed profiles and temperatures. Then in the DP framework, a cost function consisting of battery aging cost and cooling-induced electricity cost is minimized to obtain the optimal compressor power. By exacting three rules "fast cooling, slow cooling, and temperature-maintaining" from the DP result, a near-optimal rule-based cooling strategy, which uses as much regenerative energy as possible to cool the battery pack, is proposed for online execution. Simulation results show that the proposed online strategy can dramatically improve the driving economy and reduce battery degradation under diverse operation conditions, achieving less than a 3% difference in battery loss compared to the offline DP. Recommendations regarding battery cooling under different real-world cases are finally provided.

Blandford-Znajek Process in Einsteinian Cubic Gravity

In this paper, we investigate the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) process within the framework of Einsteinian cubic gravity (ECG). To analytically study the BZ process using the split monopole configuration, we construct a slowly rotating black hole in ECG up to cubic order in small spin, considering the leading order in small coupling constant of higher curvature terms. By deriving the magnetosphere solution around the black hole, we determine the BZ power up to the second relative order in spin. The BZ power is modified by the coupling constant compared to Kerr black hole. Although the general nature of the BZ process in ECG remains unchanged at the leading order in spin, the coupling constant introduces modification at the second relative order in spin. Therefore, we anticipate that it is feasible to discern general relativity from higher derivative gravities by examining the BZ power in rapidly rotating black holes.

PixelFolder: An Efficient Progressive Pixel Synthesis Network for Image Generation

Pixel synthesis is a promising research paradigm for image generation, which can well exploit pixel-wise prior knowledge for generation. However, existing methods still suffer from excessive memory footprint and computation overhead. In this paper, we propose a progressive pixel synthesis network towards efficient image generation, coined as PixelFolder. Specifically, PixelFolder formulates image generation as a progressive pixel regression problem and synthesizes images via a multi-stage structure, which can greatly reduce the overhead caused by large tensor transformations. In addition, we introduce novel pixel folding operations to further improve model efficiency while maintaining pixel-wise prior knowledge for end-to-end regression. With these innovative designs, we greatly reduce the expenditure of pixel synthesis, e.g., reducing 89% computation and 53% parameters compared with the latest pixel synthesis method CIPS. To validate our approach, we conduct extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets, namely FFHQ and LSUN Church. The experimental results show that with much less expenditure, PixelFolder obtains new state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on two benchmark datasets, i.e., 3.77 FID and 2.45 FID on FFHQ and LSUN Church, respectively.Meanwhile, PixelFolder is also more efficient than the SOTA methods like StyleGAN2, reducing about 72% computation and 31% parameters, respectively. These results greatly validate the effectiveness of the proposed PixelFolder.

Semiconductor-like photocarrier dynamics in Dirac Semimetal Cd3As2 film Probed with transient Terahertz Spectroscopy

The topological three-dimensional Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 has drawn great attention for the novel physics and promising applications in optoelectronic devices operating in the infrared and THz regimes. Among the extensive studies in the past decades, one intriguing debate is the underlined mechanism that governing the nonequilibrium carrier dynamics following photoexcitation. In this study, the temperature dependent photocarrier dynamics in Cd3As2 film has been investigated with time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. The experimental results demonstrate that photoexcitation results in abrupt increase in THz photoconductivity, and the subsequent relaxation shows a single exponential relaxation for various temperatures and pump fluences. The relaxation time increase from 4.7 ps at 5 K to 7.5 ps at 220 K, while the lifetime remains almost constant of ~7.5 ps with temperature above 220 K. A Rothwarf-Taylor model was employed to fit the temperature dependent relaxation time, and a narrow energy gap of ~35 meV is obtained, which occurs around the Dirac node. Our THz spectroscopy results demonstrate that the photocarrier relaxation in Cd3As2 shows a semiconductor-like behavior, rather than hot carrier scatterings in graphene and most of metals.

An anisotropic bouncing universe in non-local gravity

We show that it is possible to realize a cosmological bouncing solution in an anisotropic but homogeneous Bianchi-I background in a class of non-local, infinite derivative theories of gravity. We show that the anisotropic shear grows slower than in general relativity during the contraction phase, peaks to a finite value at the bounce point, and then decreases as the universe asymptotes towards isotropy and homogeneity, and ultimately to de Sitter. Along with a cosmological constant, the matter sector required to drive such a bounce is found to consist of three components - radiation, stiff matter and $k$-matter (whose energy density decays like the inverse square of the average scale factor). Generically, $k$-matter exerts anisotropic pressures. We will test the bouncing solution in local and non-local gravity and show that in the latter case it is possible to simultaneously satisfy positivity of energy density and, at least in the late time de Sitter phase, avoid the introduction of propagating ghost/tachyonic modes.

Abnormal Staebler-Wronski effect of amorphous silicon

Great achievements in last five years, such as record-efficient amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells and cutting-edge perovskite/SHJ tandem solar cells, place hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) at the forefront of emerging photovoltaics. Due to the extremely low doping efficiency of trivalent boron (B) in amorphous tetravalent silicon, light harvesting of aforementioned devices are limited by their fill factors (FF), which is a direct metric of the charge carrier transport. It is challenging but crucial to develop highly conductive doped a-Si:H for minimizing the FF losses. Here we report intensive light soaking can efficiently boost the dark conductance of B-doped a-Si:H "thin" films, which is an abnormal Staebler-Wronski effect. By implementing this abnormal effect to SHJ solar cells, we achieve a certificated power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.18% (26.05% on designated area) with FF of 85.42% on a 244.63-cm2 wafer. This PCE is one of the highest reported values for total-area "top/rear" contact silicon solar cells. The FF reaches 98.30 per cent of its Shockley-Queisser limit.

Observational Signature and Additional Photon Rings of Asymmetric Thin-shell Wormhole

Recently, a distinct shadow mechanism was proposed by Wang et al. from the asymmetric thin-shell wormhole (ATW) in [Phys. Lett. B 811 (2020) 135930]. On the other hand, Gralla et al's work [Phys. Rev. D 100 (2019) 2, 024018] represented a nice description of photon rings in the presence of an accretion disk around a black hole. In this paper, we are inspired to thoroughly investigate the observational appearance of an accretion disk around the ATW. Although the spacetime outside an ATW with a throat could be identical to that containing a black hole with its event horizon, we show evident additional photon rings from the ATW spacetime. Moreover, a potential lensing band between two highly demagnified photon rings is found. Our analysis provides an optically observational signature to distinguish ATWs from black holes.

Study on the anti-correlated painting injection scheme for the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron of the China Spallation Neutron Source

In the rapid cycling synchrotron of the China Spallation Neutron Source, the anti-correlated painting was adopted for the design scheme of the injection system. In the beam commissioning, with the optimization of the anti-correlated painting,the injection beam loss has been well controlled and the injection efficiency has exceeded 99%. Combined with other aspects of adjustments, the beam power on the target has reached 50 kW smoothly. In this paper, we have studied the injection optimization in the beam commissioning. Compared to the simulation results of the design scheme, the transverse beam distribution, transverse coupling effect and beam loss of the anti-correlated painting in the beam commissioning are somewhat different. Through the machine studies, we have carefully analyzed these differences and studied their reasons.

Optimal Caching for Low Latency in Distributed Coded Storage Systems

Erasure codes have been widely considered a promising solution to enhance data reliability at low storage costs. However, in modern geo-distributed storage systems, erasure codes may incur high data access latency as they require data retrieval from multiple remote storage nodes. This hinders the extensive application of erasure codes to data-intensive applications. This paper proposes novel caching schemes to achieve low latency in distributed coded storage systems. Experiments based on Amazon Simple Storage Service confirm the positive correlation between the latency and the physical distance of data retrieval. The average data access latency is used the performance metric to quantify the benefits of caching. Assuming that the future data popularity and network latency information is available, an offline caching scheme is proposed to find the optimal caching solution. Guided by the optimal scheme, an online caching scheme is proposed according to the measured data popularity and network latency information in real time. Experiment results demonstrate that the online scheme can approximate the optimal scheme well with dramatically reduced computation complexity.

Influence of Quantum Correction on the Black Hole Shadows, Photon Rings and Lensing Rings

We calculate the photon sphere $r_{ph}$ and critical curve $b_c$ for the quantum corrected Schwarzschild black hole, finding that they violate an universal inequalities proved for asymptotically flat black holes which satisfy null energy condition in the framework of Einstein gravity. This violation seem to be a common phenomenon when considering quantum modification of Einstein gravity. Furthermore, we study the shadows, lensing rings and photon rings in the quantum corrected Schwarzschild black hole. The violation leads to a larger bright lensing ring in the observational appearance of thin disk emission near the black hole compared with the classical Schwarzschild black hole. Our analysis may provide a observational evidence for quantum effect of general relativity.

Stable, non-singular bouncing universe with only a scalar mode

In this paper, we study a class of higher derivative, non-local gravity which admits homogeneous and isotropic non-singular, bouncing universes in the absence of matter. At the linearized level, the theory propagates only a scalar degree of freedom, and no vector or tensor modes. The scalar can be made free from perturbative ghost instabilities, and has oscillatory and bounded evolution across the bounce.

A novel method for constructing high accurate and robust WENO-Z type scheme

A novel method for constructing robust and high-order accurate weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is proposed in this paper. The method is mainly based on the WENO-Z type scheme, in which, an eighth-order global smoothness indicator (the square of the approximation of the fourth-order derivative on the five-point stencil used by the fifth-order WENO scheme) is used, and in order to keep the ENO property and robustness, the constant 1 used to calculate the un-normalized weights is replaced by a function of local smoothness indicators of candidate sub-stencils. This function is designed to have following adaptive property: if the five-point stencil contains a discontinuity, then the function approaches to a small value, otherwise, it approaches to a large value. Analysis and numerical results show that the resulted WENO-Z type (WENO-ZN) scheme is robust for capturing shock waves and, in smooth regions, achieves fifth-order accuracy at first-order critical point and fourth-order accuracy at second-order critical point.

An efficient targeted ENO scheme with local adaptive dissipation for compressible flow simulation

High fidelity numerical simulation of compressible flow requires the numerical method being used to have both stable shock-capturing capability and high spectral resolution. Recently, a family of Targeted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (TENO) schemes are developed to fulfill such requirements. Although TENO has very low dissipation for smooth flow, it introduces a cutoff value $C_T$ to maintain the non-oscillatory shock-capturing property. $C_T$ is problem depended and therefore needs adjustments by trial and error for different problems. As $C_T$ actually controls the dissipation property of TENO, the choice of $C_T$ for better shock-capturing capability always means higher dissipation. To overcome this, in this paper, a local adaptive method is proposed for the choice of $C_T$. By introducing a novel adaptive function based on the WENO smoothness indicators, $C_T$ is dynamically adjusted form $1.0 \times 10.0^{-10}$ for lower dissipation to $1.0 \times 10.0^{-4}$ for better capturing of shock according to the smoothness of the reconstruction stencil. Numerical results of the new method are compared with those of the original TENO method and the TENO-A method (Fu et al., JCP, 2017). It reveals that the new method is capable of better suppressing numerical oscillations near discontinuities while maintaining the low dissipation property of TENO at lower extra computational cost.

On the standard Poisson structure and a Frobenius splitting of the basic affine space

The goal of this paper is to construct a Frobenius splitting on $G/U$ via the Poisson geometry of $(G/U,π_{G/U})$, where $G$ is a semi-simple algebraic group of classical type defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 3$, $U$ is the uniradical of a Borel subgroup of $G$ and $π_{G/U}$ is the standard Poisson structure on $G/U$. We first study the Poisson geometry of $(G/U,π_{G/U})$. Then, we develop a general theory for Frobenius splittings on $\mathbb{T}$-Poisson varieties, where $\mathbb{T}$ is an algebraic torus. In particular, we prove that compatibly split subvarieties of Frobenius splittings constructed in this way must be $\mathbb{T}$-Poisson sub-varieties. Lastly, we apply our general theory to construct a Frobenius splitting on $G/U$.
