Hawking Fluxes, Back reaction and Covariant Anomalies
Starting from the chiral covariant effective action approach of Banerjee and
Kulkarni [Phys. Lett. B 659, 827(2008)], we provide a derivation of the Hawking
radiation from a charged black hole in the presence of gravitational back
reaction. The modified expressions for charge and energy flux, due to effect of
one loop back reaction are obtained.Comment: 6 pages, no figures, minor changes and references added, to appear in

Short-Term Precipitation Forecast Based on the PERSIANN System and LSTM Recurrent Neural Networks
Short-term Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting is important for flood forecasting, early flood warning, and natural hazard management. This study proposes a precipitation forecast model by extrapolating Cloud-Top Brightness Temperature (CTBT) using advanced Deep Neural Networks, and applying the forecasted CTBT into an effective rainfall retrieval algorithm to obtain the Short-term Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting (0–6 hr). To achieve such tasks, we propose a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and the Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN), respectively. The precipitation forecasts obtained from our proposed framework, (i.e., LSTM combined with PERSIANN) are compared with a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Persistency method, and Farneback optical flow each combined with PERSIANN algorithm and the numerical model results from the first version of Rapid Refresh (RAPv1.0) over three regions in the United States, including the states of Oregon, Oklahoma, and Florida. Our experiments indicate better statistics, such as correlation coefficient and root-mean-square error, for the CTBT forecasts from the proposed LSTM compared to the RNN, Persistency, and the Farneback method. The precipitation forecasts from the proposed LSTM and PERSIANN framework has demonstrated better statistics compared to the RAPv1.0 numerical forecasts and PERSIANN estimations from RNN, Persistency, and Farneback projections in terms of Probability of Detection, False Alarm Ratio, Critical Success Index, correlation coefficient, and root-mean-square error, especially in predicting the convective rainfalls. The proposed method shows superior capabilities in short-term forecasting over compared methods, and has the potential to be implemented globally as an alternative short-term forecast product

Modeling and simulating of reservoir operation using the artificial neural network, support vector regression, deep learning algorithm
Reservoirs and dams are vital human-built infrastructures that play essential roles in flood control, hydroelectric power generation, water supply, navigation, and other functions. The realization of those functions requires efficient reservoir operation, and the effective controls on the outflow from a reservoir or dam. Over the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have become increasingly popular in the field of streamflow forecasts, reservoir operation planning and scheduling approaches. In this study, three AI models, namely, the backpropagation (BP) neural network, support vector regression (SVR) technique, and long short-term memory (LSTM) model, are employed to simulate reservoir operation at monthly, daily, and hourly time scales, using approximately 30 years of historical reservoir operation records. This study aims to summarize the influence of the parameter settings on model performance and to explore the applicability of the LSTM model to reservoir operation simulation. The results show the following: (1) for the BP neural network and LSTM model, the effects of the number of maximum iterations on model performance should be prioritized; for the SVR model, the simulation performance is directly related to the selection of the kernel function, and sigmoid and RBF kernel functions should be prioritized; (2) the BP neural network and SVR are suitable for the model to learn the operation rules of a reservoir from a small amount of data; and (3) the LSTM model is able to effectively reduce the time consumption and memory storage required by other AI models, and demonstrate good capability in simulating low-flow conditions and the outflow curve for the peak operation period
Carbon supported CdSe nanocrystals
Insights to the mechanism of CdSe nanoparticle attachment to carbon nanotubes
following the hot injection method are discussed. It was observed that the
presence of water improves the nanotube coverage while Cl containing media are
responsible for the shape transformation of the nanoparticles and further
attachment to the carbon lattice. The experiments also show that the mechanism
taking place involves the right balance of several factors, namely, low
passivated nanoparticle surface, particles with well-defined crystallographic
facets, and interaction with an organics-free sp2 carbon lattice. Furthermore,
this procedure can be extended to cover graphene by quantum dots.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Stability Analysis of Optimal Velocity Model for Traffic and Granular Flow under Open Boundary Condition
We analyzed the stability of the uniform flow solution in the optimal
velocity model for traffic and granular flow under the open boundary condition.
It was demonstrated that, even within the linearly unstable region, there is a
parameter region where the uniform solution is stable against a localized
perturbation. We also found an oscillatory solution in the linearly unstable
region and its period is not commensurate with the periodicity of the car index
space. The oscillatory solution has some features in common with the
synchronized flow observed in real traffic.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures. Typos removed. To appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
On the existence and uniqueness of solutions to stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion with integral-Lipschitz coefficients
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to
stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion (GSDEs) with
integral-Lipschitz conditions on their coefficients
Nuclear parton distribution functions and their uncertainties
We analyze experimental data of nuclear structure-function ratios
F_2^A/F_2^{A'} and Drell-Yan cross section ratios for obtaining optimum parton
distribution functions (PDFs) in nuclei. Then, uncertainties of the nuclear
PDFs are estimated by the Hessian method. Valence-quark distributions are
determined by the F_2 data at large x; however, the small-x part is not obvious
from the data. On the other hand, the antiquark distributions are determined
well at x~0.01 from the F_2 data and at x~0.1 by the Drell-Yan data; however,
the large-x behavior is not clear. Gluon distributions cannot be fixed by the
present data and they have large uncertainties in the whole x region.
Parametrization results are shown in comparison with the data. We provide a
useful code for calculating nuclear PDFs at given x and Q^2.Comment: 9 pages, REVTeX, 23 eps files, Phys. Rev. C in press. Nuclear PDF
