In the title compound, C7H8N3
+·C10H6F3O2
−, 1H-benzoimidazol-2-amine system adopts a planar conformation with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0174 Å. The cation and anion in the asymmetric unit are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. There are also additional interÂmolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interÂactions between the phenyl rings of neighbouring anions with centroid–centroid distances of 4.0976 (13) Å
An Improved Multi-Stage Preconditioner on GPUs for Compositional Reservoir Simulation
The compositional model is often used to describe multicomponent multiphase
porous media flows in the petroleum industry. The fully implicit method with
strong stability and weak constraints on time-step sizes is commonly used in
the mainstream commercial reservoir simulators. In this paper, we develop an
efficient multi-stage preconditioner for the fully implicit compositional flow
simulation. The method employs an adaptive setup phase to improve the parallel
efficiency on GPUs. Furthermore, a multi-color Gauss-Seidel algorithm based on
the adjacency matrix is applied in the algebraic multigrid methods for the
pressure part. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm
achieves good parallel speedup while yields the same convergence behavior as
the corresponding sequential version.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figures, and 8 tables. arXiv admin note: text overlap

In the title compound, C16H13N3O, the tetrahydropyrimidinÂone ring adopts a sofa conformation. In the crystal structure, molÂecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π interÂactions
Progressive amorphization of GeSbTe phase-change material under electron beam irradiation
Fast and reversible phase transitions in chalcogenide phase-change materials
(PCMs), in particular, Ge-Sb-Te compounds, are not only of fundamental
interests, but also make PCMs based random access memory (PRAM) a leading
candidate for non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing devices. To RESET
the memory cell, crystalline Ge-Sb-Te has to undergo phase transitions firstly
to a liquid state and then to an amorphous state, corresponding to an abrupt
change in electrical resistance. In this work, we demonstrate a progressive
amorphization process in GeSb2Te4 thin films under electron beam irradiation on
transmission electron microscope (TEM). Melting is shown to be completely
absent by the in situ TEM experiments. The progressive amorphization process
resembles closely the cumulative crystallization process that accompanies a
continuous change in electrical resistance. Our work suggests that if
displacement forces can be implemented properly, it should be possible to
emulate symmetric neuronal dynamics by using PCMs
6-(TrifluoroÂmethÂyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione monohydrate
The title compound, C5H3F3N2O2·H2O, was prepared by the reaction of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoÂate with urea. In the crystal, the 6-(trifluoroÂmethÂyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione and water molÂecules are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A ring dimer structure is formed by additional interÂmolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
Localization of form fields on branes
In this paper, we investigate localization of a free massless form bulk
field on thin and thick branes with codimension one. It is found
that the zero mode of the form field with can be localized on
the thin negative tension brane, which is different from the flat brane case
given in [JHEP 10 (2012) 060]. For the thick branes, the form
field with also has a localized zero mode under some conditions.
Furthermore, we find that there are massive bound KK modes of the form
field, which are localized on this type branes.Comment: 13 page
CDR: Conservative Doubly Robust Learning for Debiased Recommendation
In recommendation systems (RS), user behavior data is observational rather
than experimental, resulting in widespread bias in the data. Consequently,
tackling bias has emerged as a major challenge in the field of recommendation
systems. Recently, Doubly Robust Learning (DR) has gained significant attention
due to its remarkable performance and robust properties. However, our
experimental findings indicate that existing DR methods are severely impacted
by the presence of so-called Poisonous Imputation, where the imputation
significantly deviates from the truth and becomes counterproductive.
To address this issue, this work proposes Conservative Doubly Robust strategy
(CDR) which filters imputations by scrutinizing their mean and variance.
Theoretical analyses show that CDR offers reduced variance and improved tail
bounds.In addition, our experimental investigations illustrate that CDR
significantly enhances performance and can indeed reduce the frequency of
poisonous imputation
Fast Adaptively Weighted Matrix Factorization for Recommendation with Implicit Feedback
Recommendation from implicit feedback is a highly challenging task due to the
lack of the reliable observed negative data. A popular and effective approach
for implicit recommendation is to treat unobserved data as negative but
downweight their confidence. Naturally, how to assign confidence weights and
how to handle the large number of the unobserved data are two key problems for
implicit recommendation models. However, existing methods either pursuit fast
learning by manually assigning simple confidence weights, which lacks
flexibility and may create empirical bias in evaluating user's preference; or
adaptively infer personalized confidence weights but suffer from low
efficiency. To achieve both adaptive weights assignment and efficient model
learning, we propose a fast adaptively weighted matrix factorization (FAWMF)
based on variational auto-encoder. The personalized data confidence weights are
adaptively assigned with a parameterized neural network (function) and the
network can be inferred from the data. Further, to support fast and stable
learning of FAWMF, a new specific batch-based learning algorithm fBGD has been
developed, which trains on all feedback data but its complexity is linear to
the number of observed data. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets
demonstrate the superiority of the proposed FAWMF and its learning algorithm
