Where is M-theory in the space of scattering amplitudes?

We use the S-matrix bootstrap to carve out the space of unitary, analytic, crossing symmetric and supersymmetric graviton scattering amplitudes in nine, ten and eleven dimensions. We extend and improve the numerical methods of our previous work in ten dime ...

Evaluation of Site Errors in LLS Magnetic Direction Finding Caused by Large Hills Using the 3D‐FDTD Technique

Wolfgang Schulz, Hannes Kohlmann

Angle and amplitude estimation errors in magnetic direction finding, called site errors, are important sensor-specific errors in lightning location systems (LLS). They are known to be caused by nearby cables and overhead lines due to induced currents. Due ...

Tracing Embodied Narratives of Critical Thinking

Aditi Kothiyal, Shitanshu Mishra

Critical Thinking (CrT) is generally characterized as an abstract thinking process, detached from the (bodily) actions one engages in during the process. Though recent cognitive theories assert that all thinking is action-based, the embodied and distribute ...

Intermodal measurements in few-mode fibers with phase- sensitive OTDR

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Alejandro Dominguez Lopez

We experimentally verify the possibility of measuring the difference in effective refractive index between higher-order-modes using a phase-sensitive OTDR, indicating that it is possible to measure the average difference over long fiber spans. ...

Study of B -> ppi pi

Olivier Schneider, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Lei Li

Using a data sample of 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e(+)e(-) collider, we report the observation of B-0 -> p (p) over bar pi(+)pi(-) and the first observation ...

Learning an event sequence embedding for event-based deep stereo

François Fleuret, Stepan Tulyakov, Michael Hirsch

Today, a frame-based camera is the sensor of choice for machine vision applications. However, these cameras, originally developed for acquisition of static images rather than for sensing of dynamic uncontrolled visual environments, suffer from high power c ...

Theory of the Drift-Wave Instability at Arbitrary Collisionality

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A numerically efficient framework that takes into account the effect of the Coulomb collision operator at arbitrary collisionalities is introduced. Such a model is based on the expansion of the distribution function on a Hermite-Laguerre polynomial basis t ...

A Distributed Algorithm for Partitioned Robust Submodular Maximization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic

Abstract—In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, with two added twists: The computation is distributed across a number of machines, and we require the solution to be robust ag ...

Assessment Of The Dispersion Quality Of Refractive Index-Matched Nanodispersions

Véronique Michaud

Dispersion quality has a large influence on the resulting properties of filled polymers, hybrids and nanocomposites in general. Reducing the van der Waals forces and therefore, matching the refractive index between the filler and the matrix should improve ...

The Value Of Employee Retention: Evidence From A Natural Experiment

Kenneth Younge

We estimate the firm-level returns to retaining employees using difference-in-differences analysis and a natural experiment where the enforcement of employee noncompete agreements was inadvertently reversed in Michigan. We find that noncompete enforcement ...
