Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models application programming interface as a standard for molecular simulations

Nanoscale modeling of materials often involves the use of molecular simulations or multiscale methods. These approaches frequently use empirical (fitted) interatomic potentials to represent the response of the material. As part of the open Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models (KIM) project (https://openkim.org), an application programming interface (API) for interatomic potentials has been developed in consultation with key members of the materials simulation community. The KIM API is beginning to emerge as a standard for atomistic simulations of materials. This API makes it possible for any KIM-compliant (KIM API conforming) simulation code (“Simulator”) to seamlessly use any KIM-compliant potential (“Model”) obtained from https://openkim.org. The KIM API is also necessary for the KIM Processing Pipeline in https://openkim.org to automatically compute the predictions of stored Models for a variety of material properties by linking them to computer programs called “Tests” that perform these calculations. The KIM API is lightweight and efficient, supports physical unit conversion, a variety of common neighbor list and boundary conditions used in atomistic simulations, and provides multilanguage support for C++, C, Fortran 2003, Fortran 90/95, and Fortran 77, allowing Simulators and Models written in any of these languages to work together

Multispectral Deep Neural Networks for Pedestrian Detection

Multispectral pedestrian detection is essential for around-the-clock applications, e.g., surveillance and autonomous driving. We deeply analyze Faster R-CNN for multispectral pedestrian detection task and then model it into a convolutional network (ConvNet) fusion problem. Further, we discover that ConvNet-based pedestrian detectors trained by color or thermal images separately provide complementary information in discriminating human instances. Thus there is a large potential to improve pedestrian detection by using color and thermal images in DNNs simultaneously. We carefully design four ConvNet fusion architectures that integrate two-branch ConvNets on different DNNs stages, all of which yield better performance compared with the baseline detector. Our experimental results on KAIST pedestrian benchmark show that the Halfway Fusion model that performs fusion on the middle-level convolutional features outperforms the baseline method by 11% and yields a missing rate 3.5% lower than the other proposed architectures.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, BMVC 2016 ora

Probing the Upper Limit of Nonclassical Rotational Inertia

We study the effect of confinement on solid 4-He's nonclassical rotational inertia (NCRI) in a torsional oscillator by constraining it to narrow annular cells of various widths. The NCRI exhibits a broad maximum value of 20% for annuli of approximately 100 micrometer width. Samples constrained to porous media or to larger geometries both have smaller NCRI, mostly below about 1%. In addition, we extend Kim and Chan's blocked annulus experiment to solid samples with large supersolid fractions. Blocking the annulus suppresses the nonclassical decoupling from 17.1% below the limit of our detection of 0.8%. This result demonstrates the nonlocal nature of the supersolid phenomena. At 20 mK, NCRI depends on velocity history showing a closed hysteresis loop in different thin annular cells.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
