Payment Network Design with Fees
Payment channels are the most prominent solution to the blockchain scalability problem. We introduce the problem of network design with fees for payment channels from the perspective of a Payment Service Provider (PSP). Given a set of transactions, w...
Untangling Vascular Trees for Surgery and Interventional Radiology
The diffusion of minimally invasive, endovascular interventions motivates the development of visualization methods for complex vascular networks. We propose a planar representation of blood vessel trees which preserves the properties that are most re...
On Approximate Range Mode and Range Selection
For any $ε\in (0,1)$, a $(1+ε)$-approximate range mode query asks for the position of an element whose frequency in the query range is at most a factor $(1+ε)$ smaller than the true mode. For this problem, we design an $O(n/ε)$ bit data structure...

relatively brief initial period—most of the flight is unpowered. Short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) typically stay within the Earth's atmosphere,
INViT: A Generalizable Routing Problem Solver with Invariant Nested View Transfo…
Recently, deep reinforcement learning has shown promising results for learning fast heuristics to solve routing problems. Meanwhile, most of the solvers suffer from generalizing to an unseen distribution or distributions with different scales. To add...

Studying the Structure of the Stellar Wind in LS 5039
The binary LS 5039 is a non-thermal X-ray emitter that presents jet-like radio structures, and is also one of the most misterious TeV sources in our Galaxy. The presence of an O-type star in LS 5039 implies that the non-thermal emitter must be embe...
More fundamental than the fundamental metallicity relation: The effect of the st…
Context. One of the most fundamental scaling relations in galaxies is observed between metallicity and stellar mass -- the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) -- although recently a stronger dependence of the gas-phase metallicity with the galactic gravi...

Dialectics of Counting and Measures of Rough Theories
New concepts of rough natural number systems, recently introduced by the present author, are used to improve most rough set-theoretical measures in general Rough Set theory (\textsf{RST}) and measures of mutual consistency of multiple models of knowl...

Currently, many users of Social Network Sites are insufficiently aware of who can see their shared personal items. Nonetheless, most approaches focus on enhancing privacy in Social Networks through improved privacy settings, neglecting the fact that...
The Detection of Intergalactic Halpha Emission from the Slug Nebula at z~2.3
The Slug Nebula is one of the largest and most luminous Lyman-alpha (LyA) nebulae discovered to date, extending over 450 kiloparsecs (kpc) around the bright quasar UM287 at z=2.283. Characterized by high surface brightnesses over intergalactic scales...
