Distilled density matrices of holographic PEE from thread-state correspondence
Within the framework of holographic duality, CMI (conditional mutual information) is often understood as a correlation between ``region pairs" and is closely related to the concept of partial entanglement entropy (PEE). The main theme of this paper i...
A Novel Dual Predictors Framework of PEE
In this paper, we propose a improved 2D-PEH based on double prediction-error. First,different from previous 2D-PEH, the proposed 2D-DPEH is established by selecting two distinct predictors with low correlation to calculate double prediction errors fo...
Serefind: A Social Networking Website for Classifieds
This paper presents the design and implementation of a social networking website for classifieds, called Serefind. We designed search interfaces with focus on security, privacy, usability, design, ranking, and communications. We deployed this site at...
Experimental scaling of the scrape-off layer particle flux width by outboard div…
The scrape-off layer (SOL) power width (λ_q) is important for predicting the heat load on divertor targets for future magnetically confined devices. Currently, the underlying physics for λ_q scaling is not fully understood. This paper extends the p...
High power single crystal KTA optical parametric amplifier for efficient 1.4-3.5…
In this paper, we present a single crystal, KTA (potassium titanyl-arsenate, KTiOAsO$_4$) based picosecond optical parametric amplifier pumped by an in-house built 1030 nm Yb:YAG thin-disk laser, capable of tunability from 1.46 to 3.5 $μ$m, operatin...
Will Sanders Supporters Jump Ship for Trump? Fine-grained Analysis of Twitter Fo…
In this paper, we study the likelihood of Bernie Sanders supporters voting for Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton. Building from a unique time-series dataset of the three candidates' Twitter followers, which we make public here, we first study t...
Improving estimation of the volume under the ROC surface when data are missing n…
In this paper, we propose a mean score equation-based approach to estimate the the volume under the receiving operating characteristic (ROC) surface (VUS) of a diagnostic test, under nonignorable (NI) verification bias. The proposed approach involves...
A characterization of Sobolev spaces on the sphere and an extension of Stolarsky…
In this paper we study reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of arbitrary smoothness on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^d \subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$. The reproducing kernel is given by an integral representation using the truncated power function $(\boldsymbol{x}...
The citation advantage of foreign language references for Chinese social science…
Contemporary scientific exchanges are international, yet language continues to be a persistent barrier to scientific communication, particularly for non-native English-speaking scholars. Since the ability to absorb knowledge has a strong impact on ho...
Discovery of Volcanic Activity on Io. A Historical Review
In the 2 March 1979 issue of Science 203 S. J. Peale, P. Cassen and R. T. Reynolds published their paper "Melting of Io by tidal dissipation" indicating "the dissipation of tidal energy in Jupiter's moon Io is likely to have melted a major fraction o...
The cosmic evolution of radio-AGN feedback to z=1
This paper presents the first measurement of the radio luminosity function of 'jet-mode' (radiatively-inefficient) radio-AGN out to z=1, in order to investigate the cosmic evolution of radio-AGN feedback. Eight radio source samples are combined to pr...
VST-Pose: A Velocity-Integrated Spatiotem-poral Attention Network for Human WiFi…
WiFi-based human pose estimation has emerged as a promising non-visual alternative approaches due to its pene-trability and privacy advantages. This paper presents VST-Pose, a novel deep learning framework for accurate and continuous pose estimation...
Interpreting Finite Automata for Sequential Data
Automaton models are often seen as interpretable models. Interpretability itself is not well defined: it remains unclear what interpretability means without first explicitly specifying objectives or desired attributes. In this paper, we identify the...
The Climate of the Khagan. Observations on palaeo-environmental Factors of the H…
Based on palaeoenvironmental, historical and archaeological data, the paper proposes possible climatic impacts on the history of the Avar Khaganate, which comprised the Carpathian Basin between the late 6th and the early 9th century AD. While the est...
Science and exile: David Bohm, the hot times of the Cold War, and his struggle f…
This article focuses on the reception among physicists of Bohm's 1952 papers on the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, which were poorly received at the time. I describe his Brazilian exile and analyze the culture of physics surrounding th...

Asymptotic Behavior of Homogeneous Complex Monge-Ampere Equations on ALE Kahler…
This paper is a sequel to the author's earlier work and investigates the homogeneous complex Monge--Ampere equation (HCMA) on the product space $X \times D$, where $X$ is an asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) Kahler manifold and $D subset C$ is t...
PriceAggregator: An Intelligent System for Hotel Price Fetching
This paper describes the hotel price aggregation system - PriceAggregator, deployed at Agoda, a global online travel agency for hotels, vacation rentals, flights and airport transfer. Agoda aggregates non-direct suppliers' hotel rooms to ensure that...
