Column size effects of DER fluids
The static yield stress of dielectric electrorheological(DER) fluids of
infinite column state and chain state are calculated from the first principle
method. The results indicate that the column surface contributions to ER
effects is very small and both states will give correct results to the real DER
fluids.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Capturing Topology in Graph Pattern Matching
Graph pattern matching is often defined in terms of subgraph isomorphism, an
NP-complete problem. To lower its complexity, various extensions of graph
simulation have been considered instead. These extensions allow pattern
matching to be conducted in cubic-time. However, they fall short of capturing
the topology of data graphs, i.e., graphs may have a structure drastically
different from pattern graphs they match, and the matches found are often too
large to understand and analyze. To rectify these problems, this paper proposes
a notion of strong simulation, a revision of graph simulation, for graph
pattern matching. (1) We identify a set of criteria for preserving the topology
of graphs matched. We show that strong simulation preserves the topology of
data graphs and finds a bounded number of matches. (2) We show that strong
simulation retains the same complexity as earlier extensions of simulation, by
providing a cubic-time algorithm for computing strong simulation. (3) We
present the locality property of strong simulation, which allows us to
effectively conduct pattern matching on distributed graphs. (4) We
experimentally verify the effectiveness and efficiency of these algorithms,
using real-life data and synthetic data.Comment: VLDB201
Research on Spatial Optimization of Shopping Center under the Background of Epidemic Situation : A Case Study of Weilaishi Shopping Center in Handan
In the current social background of frequent epidemics, shopping centers, as commercial buildings with a large number of people, it is very important to reduce the risk of environmental infection. This paper takes the Weilaishi Shopping Center in Handan as an example, summarizes the epidemic prevention status of five types of spatial nodes through field investigation, and analyzes the shortcomings of the existing emergency design of the Weilaishi Shopping Center. Based on the analysis results, this paper puts forward the optimization strategy from the spatial level, which provides a certain reference value for the research on the improvement of shopping center space environment emergency capability
LOCAL DYNAMICS OF ESSENTIAL PROJECTIVE VECTOR FIELDS FOR LEVI-CIVITA CONNECTIONS
We study metrizable projective structures near non-linearizable singularities of projective vector fields. We prove connected 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds and closed connected pseudo-Riemannian manifolds admitting a projective vector field with a non-linearizable singularity are projectively flat. We also show that a 3-dimensional Lorentzian metric is projectively flat on a cone with its vertex at non-linearizable singularities of projective vector fields
Free electron emission in vacuum assisted by photonic time crystals
The Cerenkov radiation and the Smith-Purcell effect state that free electron
emission occurs exclusively in dielectrics when the velocity of the particles
exceeds the speed of light in the medium or in the vicinity of periodic
gratings close to each other within a vacuum. We demonstrate that free
electrons in a vacuum can also emit highly directional monochromatic waves when
they are in close proximity to a medium that is periodically modulated
temporally, suggesting the existence of temporal Smith-Purcell effect. The
momentum band gaps of time-varying media, such as photonic time crystals
(PTCs), create new pathways for the injection of external energy, allowing the
frequency, intensity, and spatial distribution of the electromagnetic fields to
be controlled. Moreover, the PTC substrate enables the conversion of localized
evanescent fields into amplified, highly directional propagating plane waves
that are only sensitive to the velocity of particles and the modulation
frequency, which allows us to observe and utilize Cerenkov-like radiation in
free space. Our work exhibits significant opportunities for the utilization of
time-varying structures in various fields, including particle identification,
ultraweak signal detection, and improved radiation source design
Hyper-Convolution Networks for Biomedical Image Segmentation
The convolution operation is a central building block of neural network
architectures widely used in computer vision. The size of the convolution
kernels determines both the expressiveness of convolutional neural networks
(CNN), as well as the number of learnable parameters. Increasing the network
capacity to capture rich pixel relationships requires increasing the number of
learnable parameters, often leading to overfitting and/or lack of robustness.
In this paper, we propose a powerful novel building block, the
hyper-convolution, which implicitly represents the convolution kernel as a
function of kernel coordinates. Hyper-convolutions enable decoupling the kernel
size, and hence its receptive field, from the number of learnable parameters.
In our experiments, focused on challenging biomedical image segmentation tasks,
we demonstrate that replacing regular convolutions with hyper-convolutions
leads to more efficient architectures that achieve improved accuracy. Our
analysis also shows that learned hyper-convolutions are naturally regularized,
which can offer better generalization performance. We believe that
hyper-convolutions can be a powerful building block in future neural network
architectures for computer vision tasks. We provide all of our code here:

Collaborative Governance for Responsible Innovation in the Context of Sharing Economy:Studies on the Shared Bicycle Sector in China
The shared bicycle sector is a new type of rental business that combines the sharing economy with technology platforms. With its convenience, efficiency and low cost, the business has become popular in China. However, alongside the development of the shared bicycle industry, the increasing number of products, lack of governance, distrust between companies and users cause problems due to irresponsibility. This paper focuses on the governance of the shared bicycle sector, with the aim of achieving responsible innovation through a collaboration among stakeholders. Through case studies on two cities in China, the paper identifies government policies in the traditional context of hard-law regulation, and in the new context of multi-collaborative governance. The roles of government, industry and society are specified in the innovation ecosystem and are linked with the key dimensions of responsible innovation, anticipation, reflectiveness, inclusiveness and responsiveness. Based on the findings, a model is proposed, suggesting the new government roles of alliance facilitator and platform coordinator. Finally, our recommendations for the improvement of the shared bicycle sector are made and areas for future research are discussed
