Linux implementation of the MEP protocol for the LHCb experiment
We present a kernel implementation of the LHCb MEP protocol. MEP is implemented in the IP stack as a loadable module. This allows for better monitoring at the network level and can potentially reduce the overhead associated with the reception of the data
Localized eigenmodes of the covariant lattice Laplacian
We study numerically the eigenmode spectrum of the covariant lattice
Laplacian, in the fundamental SU(2) color group representation. It is found
that eigenmodes at the lower and upper ends of the spectrum are localized, and
that the localization volume scales. In contrast, the eigenmodes of the lattice
Faddeev-Popov operator are all extended rather than localized (as required for
confinement) despite the similarity of the kinetic and Faddeev-Popov operators.Comment: Talk presented by J. Greensite at Lattice2005 (Topology and

On the Unicity of Smartphone Applications
Prior works have shown that the list of apps installed by a user reveal a lot
about user interests and behavior. These works rely on the semantics of the
installed apps and show that various user traits could be learnt automatically
using off-the-shelf machine-learning techniques. In this work, we focus on the
re-identifiability issue and thoroughly study the unicity of smartphone apps on
a dataset containing 54,893 Android users collected over a period of 7 months.
Our study finds that any 4 apps installed by a user are enough (more than 95%
times) for the re-identification of the user in our dataset. As the complete
list of installed apps is unique for 99% of the users in our dataset, it can be
easily used to track/profile the users by a service such as Twitter that has
access to the whole list of installed apps of users. As our analyzed dataset is
small as compared to the total population of Android users, we also study how
unicity would vary with larger datasets. This work emphasizes the need of
better privacy guards against collection, use and release of the list of
installed apps.Comment: 10 pages, 9 Figures, Appeared at ACM CCS Workshop on Privacy in

Coherent control of magnetization precession in ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As
We report single-color, time resolved magneto-optical measurements in
ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. We demonstrate coherent optical control
of the magnetization precession by applying two successive ultrashort laser
pulses. The magnetic field and temperature dependent experiments reveal the
collective Mn-moment nature of the oscillatory part of the time-dependent Kerr
rotation, as well as contributions to the magneto-optical signal that are not
connected with the magnetization dynamics.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, accepted in Applied Physics Letter
Cross-sections for the multiparticle reaction at = 40 95 MeV
The bremsstrahlung flux-averaged cross-sections and the cross-sections per equivalent photon
were measured for the
photonuclear multiparticle reaction at bremsstrahlung end-point
energies ranging from 40 MeV to 95 MeV. The experiments were performed using
the beam from the NSC KIPT electron linear accelerator LUE-40 with the use of
the -activation technique. The bremsstrahlung quantum flux was
calculated with the program GEANT4 and, in addition, was monitored by means of
the reaction. The cross-sections
were computed using the TALYS1.9 code with the default options. The
measured average cross-sections
and have appeared to be
higher by factors of 2.0 to 2.4 than the theoretical results. The experimental
results have been found to be in good agreement with the data of other
laboratories. Consideration is given to special features of calculation of
and for the
reaction, with occurrence of
three photodisintegration channels. The paper also discusses
the possibility of using the
reaction for monitoring the bremsstrahlung -quantum flux in the photon
energy region above 30 MeV.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures, 1 tabl
Polarization control of metal-enhanced fluorescence in hybrid assemblies of photosynthetic complexes and gold nanorods
Fluorescence imaging of hybrid nanostructures composed of a bacterial light-harvesting complex LH2 and Au nanorods with controlled coupling strength is employed to study the spectral dependence of the plasmon-induced fluorescence enhancement. Perfect matching of the plasmon resonances in the nanorods with the absorption bands of the LH2 complexes facilitates a direct comparison of the enhancement factors for longitudinal and transverse plasmon frequencies of the nanorods. We find that the fluorescence enhancement due to excitation of longitudinal resonance can be up to five-fold stronger than for the transverse one. We attribute this result, which is important for designing plasmonic functional systems, to a very different distribution of the enhancement of the electric field due to the excitation of the two characteristic plasmon modes in nanorods
On the commutability of homogenization and linearization in finite elasticity
We study non-convex elastic energy functionals associated to (spatially)
periodic, frame indifferent energy densities with a single non-degenerate
energy well at SO(n). Under the assumption that the energy density admits a
quadratic Taylor expansion at identity, we prove that the Gamma-limits
associated to homogenization and linearization commute. Moreover, we show that
the homogenized energy density, which is determined by a multi-cell
homogenization formula, has a quadratic Taylor expansion with a quadratic term
that is given by the homogenization of the quadratic term associated to the
linearization of the initial energy density
