Novel acceleration approaches of accurate and efficient modeling of high speed interconnects in layered media
Accurate modeling of interconnect structures is an important issue in modern high frequency circuit and chip design; such as the accurate computation of the frequency dependent internal impedance of interconnect structures, like wires and conducting
strips, and the accurate and efficient electromagnetic (EM) modeling for shielded microstrip structures, especially in multilayered medium.
In the first part of this dissertation, a rigorous volume integral equation (VIE) is developed for the current distributions over two-dimensional conducting cylinders.
For very low frequencies, it can be reduced to the widely-used quasi-static approximation. The different VIEs, surface integral equation (SIE), and partial differential equation (PDE) with Dirichlet boundary condition method are used to calculate the current distributions. The VIE with quasi-static approximation for good conductor is not accurate enough for the current distributions as there is a constant ratio between the results calculated from the quasi-static VIE and SIE. Two more leading terms from the Hankel function have been added into the integral kernel to solve this problem. We also calculate the internal impedance by using the different VIEs and the PDE with Dirichlet boundary condition method. The different results between VIE and PDE methods are due to the different boundary conditions.
In the second part of this dissertation, the novel acceleration approaches for spectral domain approach (SDA) over single layer substrate and for spectral domain immitance approach (SDIA) over multilayered substrates have been developed using one of the most promising extrapolation method--the Levin\u27s transformation. It avoids the leading term extraction of the Green\u27s functions and the Bessel\u27s functions (basis functions) by recasting the summation kernel to a suitable form which can be applied in the Levin\u27s transformation. The extrapolation delay has been introduced to successfully apply the Levin\u27s transformation. Accurate results have been obtained for the propagation constant by only using twenty to thirty terms. The final accuracy could be further improved if only the first leading term added with the Levin\u27s transformation. The new techniques match with or are even better than other acceleration techniques with high order leading term extraction. The two-dimensional PMCHWT formulation was developed from internal and external equivalent problems, along with the spatial and spectral domain dyadic Green\u27s functions to deal with the arbitrary cross section and finite conductivity of multiple metal lines over multilayered substrates. The pulse and triangular basis were chosen to be applied in the Galerkin method. The matrix elements were calculated from spatial domain integration in internal equivalent problem, while in external equivalent problem we need to transfer the spatial domain integration into spectral domain summation
A^2-Net: Molecular Structure Estimation from Cryo-EM Density Volumes
Constructing of molecular structural models from Cryo-Electron Microscopy
(Cryo-EM) density volumes is the critical last step of structure determination
by Cryo-EM technologies. Methods have evolved from manual construction by
structural biologists to perform 6D translation-rotation searching, which is
extremely compute-intensive. In this paper, we propose a learning-based method
and formulate this problem as a vision-inspired 3D detection and pose
estimation task. We develop a deep learning framework for amino acid
determination in a 3D Cryo-EM density volume. We also design a sequence-guided
Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to thread over the candidate amino acids to form
the molecular structure. This framework achieves 91% coverage on our newly
proposed dataset and takes only a few minutes for a typical structure with a
thousand amino acids. Our method is hundreds of times faster and several times
more accurate than existing automated solutions without any human intervention.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, 4 table
Electroweak corrections to Higgs boson production via Z Z fusion at the future LHeC
An important mechanism for production of the Higgs boson at the prospective
Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC) is via neutral current (NC) weak boson
fusion (WBF) processes. Aside from its role in measurements of Higgs couplings
within the standard model, this production mode is particularly useful in
searchings of Higgs decays into invisble particles in various models for the
Higg portal dark matter. In this work we compute the electroweak corrections
for the NC WBF at the LHeC up to the 1-loop level. For a center-of-mass energy
of 1.98 TeV, the magnitudes of the relative corrections for the total cross
section at next-to-leading (NLO) order are respectively 8% and 17%, in the two
renormalization schemes we use. The NLO terms also distort various
distributions (notably, those for Higgs and electron observables) computed at
the leading order. Along with our previous treatment of the charge current
processes, this paper completes the calulation of the NLO EW effects for the
dominant Higgs production modes at the LHeC.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Layout Sequence Prediction From Noisy Mobile Modality
Trajectory prediction plays a vital role in understanding pedestrian movement
for applications such as autonomous driving and robotics. Current trajectory
prediction models depend on long, complete, and accurately observed sequences
from visual modalities. Nevertheless, real-world situations often involve
obstructed cameras, missed objects, or objects out of sight due to
environmental factors, leading to incomplete or noisy trajectories. To overcome
these limitations, we propose LTrajDiff, a novel approach that treats objects
obstructed or out of sight as equally important as those with fully visible
trajectories. LTrajDiff utilizes sensor data from mobile phones to surmount
out-of-sight constraints, albeit introducing new challenges such as modality
fusion, noisy data, and the absence of spatial layout and object size
information. We employ a denoising diffusion model to predict precise layout
sequences from noisy mobile data using a coarse-to-fine diffusion strategy,
incorporating the RMS, Siamese Masked Encoding Module, and MFM. Our model
predicts layout sequences by implicitly inferring object size and projection
status from a single reference timestamp or significantly obstructed sequences.
Achieving SOTA results in randomly obstructed experiments and extremely short
input experiments, our model illustrates the effectiveness of leveraging noisy
mobile data. In summary, our approach offers a promising solution to the
challenges faced by layout sequence and trajectory prediction models in
real-world settings, paving the way for utilizing sensor data from mobile
phones to accurately predict pedestrian bounding box trajectories. To the best
of our knowledge, this is the first work that addresses severely obstructed and
extremely short layout sequences by combining vision with noisy mobile
modality, making it the pioneering work in the field of layout sequence
trajectory prediction.Comment: In Proceedings of the 31st ACM International Conference on Multimedia

Poly[(μ5-5-carboxylatotetrahydrofuran-2,3,4-tricarboxylic acid)sodium]
The search for the novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials using tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (THFTCA) as a versatile multi-carboxyl ligand, lead to the synthesis and the structure determination of the title compound, [Na(H3THFTCA)] or [Na(C8H7O9)]n, which was obtained by a solution reaction at room temperature. The ligand is mono-deprotonated, coordinating five sodium ions through one furan oxygen atom and six carboxyl oxygen atoms. The sodium ion exhibits a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal NaO7 geometry consisting of seven O atoms derived from five surrounding ligands. Two adjacent pentagonal bipyramids share an O—O edge, forming a dinuclear sodium cluster. Finally, these clusters are effectively linked by the carboxyl groups of THFTCA ligands, forming a firm metal organic framework and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds contribute to the crystal packing
