LabelTranslator: A Tool to Automatically Localize an Ontology
This demo proposal briefly presents LabelTranslator, a system that suggests translations of ontology labels, with the purpose of localizing ontologies. LabelTranslator takes as input an ontology whose labels are described in a source natural language and obtains the most probable translation of each ontology label into a target natural language.Our main contribution is the automatization of this process, which reduces human efforts to localize manually the ontology
From vertex detectors to inner trackers with CMOS pixel sensors
The use of CMOS Pixel Sensors (CPS) for high resolution and low material
vertex detectors has been validated with the 2014 and 2015 physics runs of the
STAR-PXL detector at RHIC/BNL. This opens the door to the use of CPS for inner
tracking devices, with 10-100 times larger sensitive area, which require
therefore a sensor design privileging power saving, response uniformity and
robustness. The 350 nm CMOS technology used for the STAR-PXL sensors was
considered as too poorly suited to upcoming applications like the upgraded
ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS), which requires sensors with one order of
magnitude improvement on readout speed and improved radiation tolerance. This
triggered the exploration of a deeper sub-micron CMOS technology, Tower-Jazz
180 nm, for the design of a CPS well adapted for the new ALICE-ITS running
conditions. This paper reports the R&D results for the conception of a CPS well
adapted for the ALICE-ITS.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, VCI 2016 conference proceeding
Isolated vacua in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories
An explicit proof of the existence of nontrivial vacua in the pure
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with higher orthogonal SO(N), N>=7 or the
G_2 gauge group defined on a 3-torus with periodic boundary conditions is
given. Extra vacuum states are separated by an energy barrier from the
perturbative vacuum A_i=0 and its gauge copies.Comment: 8 pages, no figures, late
A Relation Between the Kauffman and the HOMFLY Polynomials for Torus Knots
Polynomial invariants corresponding to the fundamental representation of the
gauge group are computed for arbitrary torus knots in the framework of
Chern-Simons gauge theory making use of knot operators. As a result, a formula
which relates the Kauffman and the HOMFLY polynomials for torus knots is
presented.Comment: 47 pages, macropackage phyzzx.tex, minor corrections made, version to

The enigmatic young object : Walker 90/V590 Monocerotis
Aims. We assess the evolutionary status of the intriguing object Walker 90/V590 Mon, which is located about 20 arcmin northwest of the Cone Nebula near the center of the open cluster NGC 2264. This object, according to its most recent optical spectral type determination (B7), which we confirmed, is at least 3 mag too faint in V for the cluster distance, but it shows the classical signs of a young pre-main sequence object, such as highly variable H emission, Mg II emission, IR excess, UV continuum, and optical variability.
Methods. We analyzed a collection of archival and original data on Walker 90, covering 45 years including photometry, imaging, and spectroscopic data ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths.
Results. According to star formation processes, it is expected that, as this object clears its primordial surroundings, it should become optically brighter, show a weakening of its IR excess and present decreasing line emissions. This behavior is supported by our observations and analysis, but timescales are expected to be longer than the one observed here. Based on photometric data secured in 2007, we find Walker 90 at its brightest recorded optical magnitude â(12.47 ± 0.06). We document an evolution in spectral type over the past five decades (from A2/A3 to currently B7 and as early as B4), along with a decrease in the near-infrared K fluxes. From near-infrared VISIR images secured in 2004, Walker 90 appears as a point source placing an upper limit of < 0.1" for its diameter. Evidence of turbulent inflows is found in rapidly changing inverse P-Cygni profiles in the lower Balmer lines, with a broadening of ±400 km s-1 in Hα and a redshifted component in HÎČ with a terminal velocity of ~600 km s-1. The measured steep UV continuum fluxes (mimicking a star as early as B4), added to a tentative identification of N V emission, suggest a strong non-photospheric component, typically of fluxes arising from a thermally inhomogeneous accretion disk. We detect a well defined 2200 Ă
bump, indicative of dense material in the line-of-sight. We conclude that many observational features are explained if W90 is a flared disk system, surrounded by an inclined optically thick accretion disk
