Online Data Stream Learning and Classification with Limited Labels
Mining data streams such as Internet traffic andnetwork security is complex. Due to the difficulty of storage, datastreams analytics need to be done in one scan. This limits thetime to observe stream feature and hence, further complicatesthe data mining processes. Traditional supervised data miningwith batch training natural is not suitable to mine data streams.This paper proposes an algorithm for online data streamclassification and learning with limited labels using selective selftrainingsemi-supervised classification. The experimental resultsshow it is able to achieve up to 99.6% average accuracy for 10%labeled data and 98.6% average accuracy for 1% labeled data. Itcan classify up to 34K instances per second
Nuclear matter and neutron matter for improved quark mass density- dependent model with mesons
A new improved quark mass density-dependent model including u, d quarks,
mesons, mesons and mesons is presented. Employing this
model, the properties of nuclear matter, neutron matter and neutron star are
studied. We find that it can describe above properties successfully. The
results given by the new improved quark mass density- dependent model and by
the quark meson coupling model are compared.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figure
Chemical pressure and hidden one-dimensional behavior in rare earth tri-telluride charge density wave compounds
We report on the first optical measurements of the rare-earth tri-telluride
charge-density-wave systems. Our data, collected over an extremely broad
spectral range, allow us to observe both the Drude component and the
single-particle peak, ascribed to the contributions due to the free charge
carriers and to the charge-density-wave gap excitation, respectively. The data
analysis displays a diminishing impact of the charge-density-wave condensate on
the electronic properties with decreasing lattice constant across the
rare-earth series. We propose a possible mechanism describing this behavior and
we suggest the presence of a one-dimensional character in these two-dimensional
compounds. We also envisage that interactions and umklapp processes might play
a relevant role in the formation of the charge-density-wave state in these
compounds.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
An evolved disk surrounding the massive main sequence star MWC 297?
We present the results of the interferometric observations of the
circumstellar disk surrounding MWC 297 in the continuum at 230 GHz (1.3 mm) and
in the (J=2-1) rotational transitions of CO,CO and CO
using the Submillimeter Array. At a distance of 250 pc, MWC 297 is one of the
closest, young massive stars (M 10 M) to us. Compact
continuum emission is detected towards MWC 297 from which we estimate a disk
mass (gas+dust) of 0.07 M and a disk radius of 80 AU. Our
result demonstrates that circumstellar disks can survive around massive stars
well into their main sequence phase even after they have become optically
visible. Complementing our observations with the data compiled from the
literature, we find the submm dust opacity index to be between 0.1 and
0.3. If the emission is optically thin, the low value of indicates the
presence of relatively large grains in the disk, possibly because of grain
growth. We do not detect any CO emission associated with the continuum source.
We argue that the CO emission from the disk is likely optically thin, in
which case, we derive an upper limit to the gas mass which implies significant
depletion of molecular gas in the disk. The mass of this disk and the
evolutionary trends observed are similar to those found for intermediate mass
Herbig Ae stars and low mass T Tauri stars.Comment: 4 pages, 3 Figures, accepted for publication in ApJ
Ensemble Place Codes in Hippocampus: CA1, CA3, and Dentate Gyrus Place Cells Have Multiple Place Fields in Large Environments
Previously we reported that the hippocampus place code must be an ensemble code because place cells in the CA1 region of hippocampus have multiple place fields in a more natural, larger-than-standard enclosure with stairs that permitted movements in 3-D. Here, we further investigated the nature of hippocampal place codes by characterizing the spatial firing properties of place cells in the CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus (DG) hippocampal subdivisions as rats foraged in a standard 76-cm cylinder as well as a larger-than-standard box (1.8 m×1.4 m) that did not have stairs or any internal structure to permit movements in 3-D. The rats were trained to forage continuously for 1 hour using computer-controlled food delivery. We confirmed that most place cells have single place fields in the standard cylinder and that the positional firing pattern remapped between the cylinder and the large enclosure. Importantly, place cells in the CA1, CA3 and DG areas all characteristically had multiple place fields that were irregularly spaced, as we had reported previously for CA1. We conclude that multiple place fields are a fundamental characteristic of hippocampal place cells that simplifies to a single field in sufficiently small spaces. An ensemble place code is compatible with these observations, which contradict any dedicated coding scheme
Is it possible to formulate least action principle for dissipative systems?
A longstanding open question in classical mechanics is to formulate the least
action principle for dissipative systems. In this work, we give a general
formulation of this principle by considering a whole conservative system
including the damped moving body and its environment receiving the dissipated
energy. This composite system has the conservative Hamiltonian
where is the kinetic energy of the moving body, its potential
energy and the energy of the environment. The Lagrangian can be derived
by using the usual Legendre transformation where is the
total kinetic energy of the environment. An equivalent expression of this
Lagrangian is where is the energy dissipated by the
friction from the moving body into the environment from the beginning of the
motion. The usual variation calculus of least action leads to the correct
equation of the damped motion. We also show that this general formulation is a
natural consequence of the virtual work principle.Comment: 11 pages, no figur
Correlated radon and CO_2 variations near the San Andreas Fault
Correlations have been observed between groundwater radon and thoron concentrations and carbon dioxide discharges at the Lake Hughes station of the Caltech radon monitoring network. The Lake Hughes site is one of three radon monitoring stations located near the "big bend" segment of the San Andreas fault which began to record anomalous radon levels in August 1981. Two stations, Lake Hughes and Lytle Creek, recorded anomalous increases in radon while the third, Sky Forest, recorded an anomalous decrease. Several weeks after the onset of the anomaly, strongly correlated radon fluctuations began at Lake Hughes and Lytle Creek. These radon spikes also were found to be phase anti-correlated with barometric pressure fluctuations. Analyses of gas grab samples showed relatively high levels of CO_2 and ethylene in borehole air at Lake Hughes and Lytle Creek, while analyses of water samples showed relatively large increases in HCO_3^− at both sites. Isotopic analysis of one gas sample from Lake Hughes yielded a ^(13)C δ value of −22 ‰, which suggests that the CO_2 originates from the oxidation of organic material. The correlation in radon fluctuations at Lake Hughes and Lytle Creek and their common dependence on barometric pressure changes began shortly after the onset of the radon anomaly in August, and probably resulted from the simultaneous saturation of the water in these boreholes with carbon dioxide
Dirac Cosmology and the Acceleration of the Contemporary Universe
A model is suggested to unify the Einstein GR and Dirac Cosmology. There is
one adjusted parameter in our model. After adjusting the parameter
in the model by using the supernova data, we have calculated the gravitational
constant and the physical quantities of , and by using the present day quantities as the initial conditions and
found that the equation of state parameter equals to -0.83, the
ratio of the density of the addition creation and the
ratio of the density of the matter including multiplication creation, radiation
and normal matter at present. The results are self-consistent
and in good agreement with present knowledge in cosmology. These results
suggest that the addition creation and multiplication creation in Dirac
cosmology play the role of the dark energy and dark matter.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure
Suppression of decoherence by bath ordering
The dynamics of two coupled spins-1/2 coupled to a spin-bath is studied as an
extended model of the Tessieri-Wilkie Hamiltonian \cite{TWmodel}. The pair of
spins served as an open subsystem were prepared in one of the Bell states and
the bath consisted of some spins-1/2 is in a thermal equilibrium state from the
very beginning. It is found that with the increasing the coupling strength of
the bath spins, the bath forms a resonant antiferromagnetic order. The
polarization correlation between the two spins of the subsystem and the
concurrence are recovered in some extent to the isolated subsystem. This
suppression of the subsystem decoherence may be used to control the quantum
devices in practical applications.Comment: 32 pages, Chinese Physics (accepted
