Extracting Low-Lying Lambda Resonances Using Correlation Matrix Techniques
The lowest-lying negative-parity state of the Lambda is investigated in
(2+1)-flavour full-QCD on the PACS-CS configurations made available through the
ILDG. We show that a variational analysis using multiple source and sink
smearings can extract a state lying lower than that obtained by using a
standard fixed smeared source and sink operator alone.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, submitted to the proceedings of T(R)OPICAL QCD II,

Oscillon formation from preheating in asymmetric inflationary potentials
We investigate the possibility of oscillon formation during the preheating
phase of asymmetric inflationary potentials. We analytically establish the
existence of oscillon-like solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation for a
polynomial potential of the form
using the small amplitude analysis, which naturally arises as a Taylor
expansion of the -attractor E-model for and
. We perform a detailed numerical analysis to study
the formation of nonlinear structures in the -attractor E-model using
the publicly available lattice simulation code
for parameters in the range
. We find the backreaction of
the field fluctuations onto the evolution of the homogeneous inflaton
condensate to be significant for for which we
observe the formation of highly nonlinear structures with average equation of
state . These nonlinear structures maybe interpreted as oscillons,
providing evidence that they can form during the inflaton oscillations around
an asymmetric potential and are found to be present for the entirety of the
runtime of our simulations, comprising of the total energy
density.Comment: 29 pages, 15 captioned figures; minor changes made in version 2;

Towards hybrid cloud service certification models
In this paper, we introduce a hybrid approach for certifying security properties of cloud services that combines monitoring and testing data. The paper argues about the need for hybrid certification and examines some basic characteristics of hybrid certification models
Accessing High Momentum States In Lattice QCD
Two measures are defined to evaluate the coupling strength of smeared
interpolating operators to hadronic states at a variety of momenta. Of
particular interest is the extent to which strong overlap can be obtained with
individual high-momentum states. This is vital to exploring hadronic structure
at high momentum transfers on the lattice and addressing interesting phenomena
observed experimentally. We consider a novel idea of altering the shape of the
smeared operator to match the Lorentz contraction of the probability
distribution of the high-momentum state, and show a reduction in the relative
error of the two-point function by employing this technique. Our most important
finding is that the overlap of the states becomes very sharp in the smearing
parameters at high momenta and fine tuning is required to ensure strong overlap
with these states.Comment: 10 page
Low-lying positive-parity excited states of the nucleon
We present an overview of the correlation-matrix methods developed recently
by the CSSM Lattice Collaboration for the isolation of excited states of the
nucleon. Of particular interest is the first positive-parity excited-state of
the nucleon known as the Roper resonance. Using eigenvectors of the correlation
matrix we construct parity and eigenstate projected correlation functions which
are analysed using standardized methods. The robust nature of this approach for
extracting the eigenstate energies is presented. We report the importance of
using a variety of source and sink smearings in achieving this. Ultimately the
independence of the eigenstate energies from the interpolator basis is
demonstrated. In particular we consider correlation matrices built
from a variety of interpolators and smearing levels. Using FLIC fermions to
access the light quark mass regime, we explore the curvature encountered in the
energy of the states as the chiral limit is approached. We report a low-lying
Roper state contrasting earlier results using correlation matrices. To the best
of our knowledge, this is the first time a low-lying Roper resonance has been
found using correlation matrix methods. Finally, we present our results in the
context of the Roper results reported by other groups.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures., Presented at the XXVII International Symposium

Isolating Excited States of the Nucleon in Lattice QCD
We discuss a robust projection method for the extraction of excited-state
masses of the nucleon from a matrix of correlation functions. To illustrate the
algorithm in practice, we present results for the positive parity excited
states of the nucleon in quenched QCD. Using eigenvectors obtained via the
variational method, we construct an eigenstate-projected correlation function
amenable to standard analysis techniques. The method displays its utility when
comparing results from the fit of the projected correlation function with those
obtained from the eigenvalues of the variational method. Standard nucleon
interpolators are considered, with and correlation
matrix analyses presented using various combinations of source-smeared,
sink-smeared and smeared-smeared correlation functions. Using these new robust
methods, we observe a systematic dependency of the nucleon excited-state masses
on source- and sink-smearing levels. To the best of our knowledge, this is the
first clear indication that a correlation matrix of standard nucleon
interpolators is insufficient to isolate the eigenstates of QCD.Comment: May 2009.13pp, Minor changes and references adde
Authorship Identification of Source Code Segments Written by Multiple Authors Using Stacking Ensemble Method
Source code segment authorship identification is the task of identifying the
author of a source code segment through supervised learning. It has vast
importance in plagiarism detection, digital forensics, and several other law
enforcement issues. However, when a source code segment is written by multiple
authors, typical author identification methods no longer work. Here, an author
identification technique, capable of predicting the authorship of source code
segments, even in the case of multiple authors, has been proposed which uses a
stacking ensemble classifier. This proposed technique is built upon several
deep neural networks, random forests and support vector machine classifiers. It
has been shown that for identifying the author group, a single classification
technique is no longer sufficient and using a deep neural network-based
stacking ensemble method can enhance the accuracy significantly. The
performance of the proposed technique has been compared with some existing
methods which only deal with the source code segments written precisely by a
single author. Despite the harder task of authorship identification for source
code segments written by multiple authors, our proposed technique has achieved
promising results evidenced by the identification accuracy, compared to the
related works which only deal with code segments written by a single author.Comment: 2019 22nd International Conference on Computer and Information

Towards run-time monitoring of web services conformance to business-level agreements
Web service behaviour is currently specified in a mixture of ways, often using methods that are only partially complete. These range from static functional specifications, based on interfaces in WSDL and preconditions in RIF, to business process simulations using executable process-based models such as BPEL, to detailed quality of service (QoS) agreements laid down in a service level agreement (SLA). This paper recognises that something similar to a SLA is required at the higher business level to govern the contract between service producers, brokers and consumers. We call this a business level agreement (BLA) and within this framework, seek to unify disparate aspects of functional specification, QoS and run-time verification. We propose that the method for validating a web service with respect to its advertised BLA should be based on run-time service monitoring. This is a position paper towards defining these goals
