We give a polynomially large class of errors, D, that can be introduced in a stable matching instance. Given an instance A of stable matching, let B be the instance that results after introducing one error from D, chosen via a discrete probability distribution. We want to find a stable matching for A that maximizes the probability of being stable for B as well. Via new structural properties, re...

We define the matching measure of a lattice L as the spectral measure of the tree of self-avoiding walks in L. We connect this invariant to the monomerdimer partition function of a sequence of finite graphs converging to L. This allows us to express the monomer-dimer free energy of L in terms of the matching measure. Exploiting an analytic advantage of the matching measure over the Mayer series...

We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the glue spin in the nucleon. The lattice calculation is carried out with valence overlap fermions on 2+1 flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations on four lattice spacings and four volumes including an ensemble with physical values for the quark masses. The glue spin S_{G} in the Coulomb gauge in the modified minimal subtraction (MS[over ¯])...

ontology is the main infrastructure of the semantic web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. by emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...

All supersymmetric gauge theories based on simple groups which have an affine quantum moduli space, i.e. one generated by gauge invariants with no relations, W = 0, and anomaly matching at the origin, are classified. It is shown that the only theories with no gauge invariants (and moduli space equal to a single point) are the two known examples, SU(5) with 5 + 10 and SO(10) with a spinor. The i...

We present a method to non-perturbatively determine the parameters of the onshell, O(a)-improved relativistic heavy quark action. These three parameters, m0, ζ, and cB = cE are obtained by matching finite-volume, heavy-heavy and heavy-light meson masses to the exact relativistic spectrum through a finite-volume, step-scaling recursion procedure. We demonstrate that accuracy on the level of a fe...

Freestanding nanowires have been found to exhibit ultra-large elastic strains (4 to 7%) and ultra-high strengths, but exploiting their intrinsic superior mechanical properties in bulk forms has proven to be difficult. A recent study has demonstrated that ultra-large elastic strains of ~6% can be achieved in Nb nanowires embedded in a NiTi matrix, on the principle of lattice strain matching. To ...

Rectangular arrays of Ni dots with small interdot separation have been fabricated in superconducting Nb films. The geometry of these rectangular arrays defines deep pinning potential channels. Two effects have been observed. ~i! When the vortices move perpendicular to the channels ~i.e., along the long side of the rectangular array! an enhancement of the background pinning is observed, as predi...

The ability to control the microstructures and physical properties of hetero-epitaxial functional oxide thin films and artificial structures is a long-sought goal in functional materials research. Normally, only the lattice misfit between the film and the substrate is considered to govern the physical properties of the epitaxial films. In fact, the mismatch of film unit cell arrangement and the...

While the Out-Of-Vocabulary (OOV) problem remains a challenge for English spoken term detection tasks, it is underestimated for Chinese. This is because an Chinese OOV query term can still be matched as a sequence of Chinese characters, with each character itself being a word in the vocabulary. However, our experiments show that search accuracy levels differ significantly when a query is or is ...
