Could we automatically reproduce semantic relations of an information retrieval thesaurus?
A well constructed thesaurus is recognized as a valuable source of semantic information for various applications, especially for Information Retrieval. The main hindrances to using thesaurus-oriented approaches are the high complexity and cost of manual thesauri creation. This paper addresses the problem of automatic thesaurus construction, namely we study the quality of automatically extracted semantic relations as compared with the semantic relations of a manually crafted thesaurus. The vector-space model based on syntactic contexts was used to reproduce relations between the terms of a manually constructed thesaurus. We propose a simple algorithm for representing both single word and multiword terms in the distributional space of syntactic contexts. Furthermore, we propose a method for evaluation quality of the extracted relations. Our experiments show significant difference between the automatically and manually constructed relations: while many of the automatically generated relations are relevant, just a small part of them could be found in the original thesaurus
Oscillation of solar radio emission at coronal acoustic cut-off frequency
Recent SECCHI COR2 observations on board STEREO-A spacecraft have detected
density structures at a distance of 2.5--15~R propagating with periodicity of
about 90~minutes. The observations show that the density structures probably
formed in the lower corona. We used the large Ukrainian radio telescope URAN-2
to observe type IV radio bursts in the frequency range of 8--32~MHz during the
time interval of 08:15--11:00~UT on August 1, 2011. Radio emission in this
frequency range originated at the distance of 1.5--2.5 R according to the
Baumbach-Allen density model of the solar corona. Morlet wavelet analysis
showed the periodicity of 80~min in radio emission intensity at all
frequencies, which demonstrates that there are quasi-periodic variations of
coronal density at all heights. The observed periodicity corresponds to the
acoustic cut-off frequency of stratified corona at a temperature of 1~MK. We
suggest that continuous perturbations of the coronal base in the form of
jets/explosive events generate acoustic pulses, which propagate upwards and
leave the wake behind oscillating at the coronal cut-off frequency. This wake
may transform into recurrent shocks due to the density decrease with height,
which leads to the observed periodicity in the radio emission. The recurrent
shocks may trigger quasi-periodic magnetic reconnection in helmet streamers,
where the opposite field lines merge and consequently may generate periodic
density structures observed in the solar wind.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, accepted in A&
The marginally stable Bethe lattice spin glass revisited
Bethe lattice spins glasses are supposed to be marginally stable, i.e. their
equilibrium probability distribution changes discontinuously when we add an
external perturbation. So far the problem of a spin glass on a Bethe lattice
has been studied only using an approximation where marginally stability is not
present, which is wrong in the spin glass phase. Because of some technical
difficulties, attempts at deriving a marginally stable solution have been
confined to some perturbative regimes, high connectivity lattices or
temperature close to the critical temperature. Using the cavity method, we
propose a general non-perturbative approach to the Bethe lattice spin glass
problem using approximations that should be hopeful consistent with marginal
stability.Comment: 23 pages Revised version, hopefully clearer that the first one: six

Radio seismology of the outer solar corona
Observed oscillations of coronal loops in EUV lines have been successfully
used to estimate plasma parameters in the inner corona (< 0.2 R_0, where R_0 is
the solar radius). However, coronal seismology in EUV lines fails for higher
altitudes because of rapid decrease in line intensity. We aim to use radio
observations to estimate the plasma parameters of the outer solar corona (> 0.2
R_0). We use the large Ukrainian radio telescope URAN-2 to observe type IV
radio burst at the frequency range of 8-32 MHz during the time interval of
09:50-12:30 UT in April 14, 2011. The burst was connected to C2.3 flare, which
occurred in AR 11190 during 09:38-09:49 UT. The dynamic spectrum of radio
emission shows clear quasi-periodic variations in the emission intensity at
almost all frequencies. Wavelet analysis at four different frequencies (29 MHz,
25 MHz, 22 MHz and 14 MHz) shows the quasi-periodic variation of emission
intensity with periods of 34 min and 23 min. The periodic variations can be
explained by the first and second harmonics of vertical kink oscillation of
transequatorial coronal loops, which were excited by the same flare. The apex
of transequatorial loops may reach up to 1.2 R_0 altitude. We derive and solve
the dispersion relation of trapped MHD oscillations in a longitudinally
inhomogeneous magnetic slab. The analysis shows that a thin (with width to
length ratio of 0.1), dense (with the ratio of internal and external densities
of > 20) magnetic slab with weak longitudinal inhomogeneity may trap the
observed oscillations. Seismologically estimated Alfv\'en speed inside the loop
at the height of 1 R_0 is 1000 km/s. Then the magnetic field strength at this
height is estimated as 0.9 G. Extrapolation of magnetic field strength to the
inner corona gives 10 G at the height of 0.1 R_0.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, Accepted in A&
Self-certified sybil-free pseudonyms
Accurate and trusted identifiers are a centerpiece for any security architecture. Protecting against Sybil attacks in a privacy-friendly manner is a non-trivial problem in wireless infrastructureless networks, such as mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we introduce self-certified Sybil-free pseudonyms as a means to provide privacy-friendly Sybil-freeness without requiring continuous online availability of a trusted third party. These pseudonyms are self-certified and computed by the users themselves from their cryptographic longterm identities. Contrary to identity certificates, we preserve location privacy and improve protection against some notorious attacks on anonymous communication systems
