Multicellular Tumor Spheroid in an off-lattice Voronoi/Delaunay cell model
We study multicellular tumor spheroids by introducing a new three-dimensional agent-based Voronoi/Delaunay hybrid model. In this model, the cell shape varies from spherical in thin solution to convex polyhedral in dense tissues. The next neighbors of the cells are provided by a weighted Delaunay triangulation with in a...

Strongly Enhanced Thermal Stability of Crystalline Organic Thin Films Induced by Aluminum Oxide Capping Layers
We show that the thermal stability of thin films of the organic semiconductor diindenoperylene (DIP) can be strongly enhanced by aluminum oxide capping layers. By thermal desorption spectroscopy and in-situ X-ray diffraction we demonstrate that organic films do not only stay on the substrate, but even remain crystallin...

Breaking a chaos-noise-based secure communication scheme

Some security defects of the scheme are revealed: 1) the key space can be remarkably reduced; 2) the decryption is insensitive to the mismatch of th...

Classical information transmission capacity of quantum black holes

Boundary rigidity and stability for generic simple metrics
We study the boundary rigidity problem for compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary $(M,g)$: is the Riemannian metric $g$ uniquely determined, up to an action of diffeomorphism fixing the boundary, by the distance function $\rho_g(x,y)$ known for all boundary points $x$ and $y$? We prove in this paper global uniquene...

On Generalized Records and Spatial Conjunction in Role Logic

A natural fragment of role logic corresponds to two-variable logic with counting and is therefore decidable. We show how to use role logic to describe open and clos...

Non-parametric inversion of strong lensing systems
We revisit the issue of non-parametric gravitational lens reconstruction and present a new method to obtain the cluster mass distribution using strong lensing data without using any prior information on the underlying mass. The method relies on the decomposition of the lens plane into individual cells. We show how the ...

Cauchy Annealing Schedule: An Annealing Schedule for Boltzmann Selection Scheme in Evolutionary Algorithms
Boltzmann selection is an important selection mechanism in evolutionary algorithms as it has theoretical properties which help in theoretical analysis. However, Boltzmann selection is not used in practice because a good annealing schedule for the `inverse temperature' parameter is lacking. In this paper we propose a Ca...

Polar Shapelets
The shapelets method for image analysis is based upon the decomposition of localised objects into a series of orthogonal components with convenient mathematical properties. We extend the "Cartesian shapelet" formalism from earlier work, and construct "polar shapelet" basis functions that separate an image into componen...

Primordial Bispectrum Information from CMB Polarization
After the precise observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy power spectrum, attention is now being focused on the higher order statistics of the CMB anisotropies. Since linear evolution preserves the statistical properties of the initial conditions, observed non-Gaussianity of the CMB will mirror...

Pair Correlation Function Characteristics of Nearly Jammed Disordered and Ordered Hard-Sphere Packings
We study the approach to jamming in hard-sphere packings, and, in particular, the pair correlation function $g_{2}(r)$ around contact, both theoretically and computationally. Our computational data unambiguously separates the narrowing delta-function contribution to $g_{2}$ due to emerging interparticle contacts from t...

Non-negative matrix factorization with sparseness constraints
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a recently developed technique for finding parts-based, linear representations of non-negative data. Although it has successfully been applied in several applications, it does not always result in parts-based representations. In this paper, we show how explicitly incorporating...

Operational distance and fidelity for quantum channels
We define and study a fidelity criterion for quantum channels, which we term the minimax fidelity, through a noncommutative generalization of maximal Hellinger distance between two positive kernels in classical probability theory. Like other known fidelities for quantum channels, the minimax fidelity is well-defined fo...

A modulated mirror for atomic interferometry
A novel atomic beam splitter, using reflection of atoms off an evanescent light wave, is investigated theoretically. The intensity or frequency of the light is modulated in order to create sidebands on the reflected de Broglie wave. The weights and phases of the various sidebands are calculated using three different ap...

Minimal work principle: proof and counterexamples
The minimal work principle states that work done on a thermally isolated equilibrium system is minimal for adiabatically slow (reversible) realization of a given process. This principle, one of the formulations of the second law, is studied here for finite (possibly large) quantum systems interacting with macroscopic s...

Detectability of Extrasolar Planets in Radial Velocity Surveys
Radial velocity surveys are beginning to reach the time baselines required to detect Jupiter analogs, as well as sub-Saturn mass planets in close orbits. Therefore it is important to understand the sensitivity of these surveys at long periods and low amplitudes. In this paper, I derive analytic expressions for the dete...

Transverse-Momentum-Ordered Showers and Interleaved Multiple Interactions
We propose a sophisticated framework for high-energy hadronic collisions, wherein different QCD physics processes are interleaved in a common sequence of falling transverse-momentum values. Thereby phase-space competition is introduced between multiple parton-parton interactions and initial-state radiation. As a first ...

Circumstellar interaction of the type Ia supernova 2002ic
We propose a model to account for the bolometric light curve, quasi-continuum and the Ca II emission features of the peculiar type Ia supernova (SN) 2002ic, which exploded in a dense circumstellar envelope. The model suggests that the SN Ia had the maximum possible kinetic energy and that the ejecta expand in an approx...

We show that the lifetime of (distillable) entanglement for GHZ-type superposition states decreases with the size of the system, while for a class of other states -namely all graph states with constant degree- the lifetime...

Intensity and coherence of motifs in weighted complex networks
The local structure of unweighted networks can be characterized by the number of times a subgraph appears in the network. The clustering coefficient, reflecting the local configuration of triangles, can be seen as a special case of this approach. In this Letter we generalize this method for weighted networks. We introd...
