A generative model for sparse, evolving digraphs [PDF]
Generating graphs that are similar to real ones is an open problem, while the similarity notion is quite elusive and hard to formalize. In this paper, we focus on sparse digraphs and propose SDG, an algorithm that aims at generating graphs similar to ...

The BCS theory of q-deformed nucleon pairs - qBCS
We construct a coherent state of q-deformed zero coupled nucleon pairs distributed in several single-particle orbits. Using a variational approach, the set of equations of qBCS theory, to be solved self consistently for occupation probabilities, gap ...

L2R-MLP: a multilabel classification scheme for the detection of DNS tunneling
Domain name system (DNS) tunneling attacks can bypass firewalls, which typically “trust” DNS transmissions by concealing malicious traffic in the packets trusted to convey legitimate ones, thereby making detection using conventional security techniques ...

An Integrated Stainless Steel‐Based Electrode for Durable Direct Natural Seawater Electrolysis
We report an integrated stainless steel‐based electrode featuring Pt atomic clusters anchored on a NiFe‐LDH anticorrosive layer. By regulating interfacial water dynamics to suppress chloride attack, this hierarchical architecture achieves superior durability (over 1000 h) and energy efficiency in direct seawater electrolysis, offering a cost‐effective ...

Closed N=2 Strings: Picture-Changing, Hidden Symmetries and SDG Hierarchy
We study the action of picture-changing and spectral flow operators on a ground ring of ghost number zero operators in the chiral BRST cohomology of the closed N=2 string and describe an infinite set of symmetry charges acting on physical states.
