Abstract:

CMS is tackling the exploitation of CPU resources at HPC centers where compute nodes do not have network connectivity to the Internet. Pilot agents and payload jobs need to interact with external services from the compute nodes: access to the application software (CernVM-FS) and conditions data (Frontier), management of input and output data files (data management services), and job management (HTCondor). Finding an alternative route to these services is challenging. Seamless integration in the CMS production system without causing any operational overhead is a key goal. The case of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), in Spain, is particularly challenging, due to its especially restrictive network setup. We describe in this paper the solutions developed within CMS to overcome these restrictions, and integrate this resource in production. Singularity containers with application software releases are built and pre-placed in the HPC facility shared file system, together with conditions data files. HTCondor has been extended to relay communications between running pilot jobs and HTCondor daemons through the HPC shared file system. This operation mode also allows piping input and output data files through the HPC file system. Results, issues encountered during the integration process, and remaining concerns are discussed.

Abstract:

Feedback control in quantum transport has been predicted to give rise to several interesting effects, among them quantum state stabilization and the realization of a mesoscopic Maxwell's daemon. These results were derived under the assumption that control operations on the system are affected instantaneously after the measurement of electronic jumps through it. In this contribution, I describe how to include a delay between detection and control operation in the master equation theory of feedback-controlled quantum transport. I investigate the consequences of delay for the state stabilization and Maxwell's daemon schemes. Furthermore, I describe how delay can be used as a tool to probe coherent oscillations of electrons within a transport system and how this formalism can be used to model finite detector bandwidth.

Abstract:

As petrochemical production equipment with a high degree of risk, on-site training of operating staff and management has brought a great deal of difficulty. Therefore, this paper introduces our research and development work based on virtual reality technology to construct a virtual environment of petrochemical enterprises for on-site training of operating staff and management. To establish the virtual petrochemical enterprises, we adopted 3DMAX as a modeling tool, the VRP (Virtual Reality Platform) as a virtual reality platform as an operation platform. First of all, we create the various sub-scene of the area of petrochemical plants and do model integration and processing to result in the virtual scene with the virtual reality software. Then, we set interactive interface, allowing users to interact with the platform, which makes operations easier. We built-in virtual cameras and pre-recorded screen video to help play the presentation of the video content automatically, so that without human interaction will require. Finally, the role of script will blend with the real three-dimensional scene, the 2D panel and the daemon in order to obtain the true visual display. Therefore, the developed virtual petrochemical enterprise platform has a good show with its real intuitive.

Abstract:

The DAEMONs (DArk Electric Matter Objects) have been suggested as a possible exotic component in cosmic rays able to contribute to the Dark Matter; they belong to the wide class of the Elementary Black Holes (EBH) deeply discussed in literature. A preliminary possible DAEMONs direct detection, at ≃3σ C.L., was originally suggested by the sea-level St. Petersburg experiment (SPb); a DAEMONs flux: (1.0±0.3) DAEMONs/(days m2 sr) can be derived. Here the results obtained by the sea-level NEMESIS experiment, which has exploited the same detection approach, are presented; they restrict the DAEMONs flux to be less than 0.32 DAEMONs/(days m2 sr) at 90% C.L.

Abstract:

The quality of surgical operation is very important for the patients’ safety and the reduction of aftereffects after surgery. To do this, practicing surgical operations is also increasingly important. Due to the development of hardware and simulation techniques such as virtual reality (VR), VR simulators have been developed as a method to train surgeons and medical students majoring in surgery. In addition, controllers that support various kinds of haptic feedback have also been developed for a more realistic and immersive user experience. In this study, we introduce a morphable haptic controller that provides geometric and tactile feedback to users and propose a VR simulation system using this controller. This system is designed to perform a high tibial osteotomy in a virtual environment. The morphable haptic controller attached to the system through the input mapping daemon provides the senses of multiple surgical instruments used in the simulation. As a result, the haptic controller achieves an outstanding result through an actual interaction between surgical tools and the surgical sites. We verified that this was effective in surgery training through orthopedic surgeons.

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of the paper is to provide a unitary reading of Plutarch’s De genio Socratis by concentrating on the character of Epameinondas. Against those who claim that the philosophical speeches are the main theme of the dialogue, it is argued that Epameinondas, one of the speakers, also plays an active role in the liberation of Thebes. Against those who insist on the political action alone, it is shown that Epameinondas’ commitment is not the same as that of the other conspirators. His goal—like that of Plato and Socrates (as they are represented in the text)—is to take care of his fellow citizens, and lead them to moral virtue, in accordance with the divine order. This idea may appear piously unrealistic, but it clearly illustrates the merits and limits of Plato’s political philosophy.

Abstract:

Abstract On the basis of the preserved evidence, corpse daemons were practically employed in two specific fields: in love magic and in chariot racing. In this respect, the material of our sources seems significant: in Egyptian papyri the daemons are primarily used in erotic magic, whereas in lead tablets they are meant to manipulate chariot races. The study examines all known occurrences of nekydaimones, analyzing their functions and names, whenever referred to in the sources.

Abstract:

Iamblichus’s doctrine that the immortal soul becomes mortal is puzzling for Platonic scholars. According to Iamblichus, the embodied soul not only becomes mortal; as human, it also becomes “alienated” (allotriōthen) from divinity. Iamblichus maintains that the alienation and mortality of the soul are effected by daemons that channel the soul’s universal and immortal identity into a singular and mortal self. Yet, while daemons alienate the soul from divinity they also outline the path to recover it. Iamblichus maintains that daemons unfold the will of the Demiurge into material manifestation and thus reveal its divine signatures (sunthēmata) in nature. According to Iamblichus’s theurgical itinerary, the human soul—materialized, alienated, and mortal—must learn to embrace its alienated and mortal condition as a form of demiurgic activity. By ritually entering this demiurgy the soul transforms its alienation and mortality into theurgy. The embodied soul becomes an icon of divinity.

Abstract:

The relevance of this study is determined by insecure data storage on personal computers, as it is the main operating system that performs authentication and file access control. Bypassing these security rules is possible in case of using another open-source operating system on the same personal computer. The aim of this work is the research and development of file encryptors, disk encryptors and file system encryptors. Each of them has its shortcomings which manifest themselves during development. Combining the advantages of file encryptors and file system encryptors helped to overcome those shortcomings. The userspace filesystem library was used for this purpose. The study involved the methods aimed at designing and developing the Udev daemon file system for Linux using the OpenSSL library. The file system design was mathematically modelled and formally verified through a test parser. The file system also has its own authentication and authorization procedures to provide uniform access across multiple operating systems. The Udev daemon file system is the result of this work. Each file is encrypted with a separate key to protect against cryptanalysis. This key is encrypted with the owner’s private key, thereby enabling him/her to change the ownership. The passphrase is used to decrypt the user’s private key. The developed file system has passed authentication and access control testing successfully. The file system shows best performance with file sizes 1 KB to 256 MB. Encryption-caused performance degradation was also measured and found to be within acceptable limits. This Udev daemon stackable file system is available for all Unix clones with OpenSSL libraries. The prospects for further work are the development of a file system using several combined methods from a list of existing design and development methods for file systems.

Abstract:

This essay will address how Origen, an early Christian writer, theologian, and pastor, referred to plagues, epidemics, and misfortunes, and how he construed these phenomena in his theology, literary works, and pastoral practice. A comparison with Porphyry will be offered, who likely drew part of his daemonology from Origen. Those responsible for plagues in both Origen’s philosophical theology and in Porphyry’s philosophy are δαίμονες (demons or fallen angels for Origen, daemons for Porphyry; Origen knew and referred to the two views). Porphyry’s attribution of his daemonology to “certain Platonists” who “divulged” these theories probably alludes to Origen and situates Origen within the Platonic school. I suspect that Porphyry was influenced by Origen’s demonology in general and possibly by On Daemons, if his. Porphyry’s terminology of “divulging” corresponds to that used in his anecdote about Origen who, notwithstanding the oath not to divulge Ammonius’ esoteric doctrines, nevertheless did so in On Daemons and The King Is the Only Creator. This indirectly confirms that Porphyry was speaking of the same Origen. Porphyry’s conviction that evil daemons are responsible for plagues, epidemics, and natural disasters is the same as Origen’s in Contra Celsum, which Porphyry knew. Origen was aware that spiritual plagues are worse than physical ones, that misfortunes mostly befall the just, and took over Jesus’ criticism of the ancient view of misfortunes as divine punishments for an individual or his parents or ancestors.

Abstract:

In the second century of our era the Athenian Platonist, Atticus, claimed that it was clear not only to philosophers but perhaps even to ordinary people that the heritage left by Plato was the immortality of the soul. Plato had expounded the doctrine in various and manifold ways (ποικίλως καì παντοίως) and this was about (σχεδόν) the only thing holding together the Platonic school. Atticus is but one witness to the prominence accorded the soul in discussions and debates among later Platonists. But while questions concerning the origin, constitution, and destiny of the human soul are relatively well attested for Middle Platonism, not to mention Neoplatonism, we know much less about these topics among Plato's immediate successors in the Academy, Speusippus of Athens (c. 408–339) and Xenocrates of Chalcedon (396–314). Both wrote treatises on the soul (περì ψυχ⋯ς), but these have been lost along with their other, numerous writings. Because the least that can be said is that Speusippus and Xenocrates upheld the immortality of the soul (as would be expected), any snippet of information that might tell us more deserves close consideration.

Abstract:

Detection of the September maximum in the primary near-Earth daemon flux at high (~ 60°) Northern latitudes by our setup with a plane horizontal scintillator is plagued by purely geometric factors; indeed, because of the Earth's rotation axis being tilted, the daemons catching up with the Earth in outer Near-Earth, Almost Circular Heliocentric Orbits (NEACHOs) strike the Earth along close-to-horizontal paths. Nevertheless, application of only two oppositely oriented, specially designed "dark electron multipliers" of the type TEU-167d (only their ø125-mm front disc is coated on the inside by a thick, ~ 0.5 μm Al layer, which permits such multipliers to detect primarily daemons flying inside them from the base to the disc) has made it possible for us to detect in one experiment, at a confidence level of >3σ, a flux of daemons captured from NEACHOs into Geocentric Earth-Surface-Crossing Orbits, as well as to record a decrease in the velocity of these objects from ~ 10 to ~ 7 km/s in a characteristic time of ~ 1 month resulting from their being slowed down in transits through the Earth's body.

Abstract:

Time-reversal invariance can be exploited in wave physics to control wave propagation in complex media. Because time and space play a similar role in wave propagation, time-reversed waves can be obtained by manipulating spatial boundaries or by manipulating time boundaries. The two dual approaches will be discussed in this paper. The first approach uses ‘time-reversal mirrors’ with a wave manipulation along a spatial boundary sampled by a finite number of antennas. Related to this method, the role of the spatio-temporal degrees of freedom of the wavefield will be emphasized. In a second approach, waves are manipulated from a time boundary and we show that ‘instantaneous time mirrors’, mimicking the Loschmidt point of view, simultaneously acting in the entire space at once can also radiate time-reversed waves.

Abstract:

Throughout the twentieth century, critics of the poet Edmund Spenser wrestled with the question of the presence of Plato as well as Platonic thought in Spenser’s works. Having recently established the profound presence of Platonism in Spenser via Marsilio Ficino and other sources, the field of Spenser studies is now open to a treatment of exactly what kind of Platonism is present in Spenser. Drawing from the work done by researchers in the field of magic and Platonism, in this article I hope to demonstrate the presence of Platonic daemons in Spenser’s Faerie Queene who are found under the name of “sprites” or “sprights” in the poem. An examination of daemons in The Faerie Queene will elucidate some questions on the role of Merlin in the poem as well as Spenser’s own self fashioning as a poet-magus.

Abstract:

During a week of the March maximum in 2011, two oppositely installed direction-sensitive TEU-167d Dark Electron Multipliers (DEMs) recorded a flux of daemons from the near-Earth almost circular heliocentric orbits (NEACHOs). The flux measured from above is f≈(8 ± 3)×10-7cm-2s-1, and that from below is twice smaller. The difference may be due both to specific design features of the DEMs themselves, and to dissimilarities in the slope of trajectories along which objects are coming from above or from below. It is shown that the daemon paradigm enables a quantitative interpretation of DAMA and CoGeNT experiments with no additional hypotheses. Both the experiments record a daemon flux of f~10-6cm-2s-1from strongly elongated Earth-crossing heliocentric orbits (SEECHOs), predecessors of NEACHOs. Recommendations are given for processing of DAMA/LIBRA data, which unambiguously suggest that, in approximately half of cases (when there occur double events in the detector, rejected in processing under a single-hit criterion), the signals being recorded are successively excited by a single SEECHO object along a path of ~ 1 m, i.e. this is not a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP). It is noted that due regard to cascade events and pair interaction of ions will weaken the adverse influence exerted by the blocking effect on the channeling of iodine ions knocked out in NaI(Tl) crystal. This influence will become not so catastrophic as it follows from simplified semi-analytical models of the process: One might expect the energy of up to ~ 10% primary recoil iodine ions will be converted to the scintillation light.

Abstract:

Our prediction that the more massive DAMA/LIBRA detector would detect a smaller number of events per unit of mass and time than the DAMA/NaI system has got confirmation. It is easy to understand, because DM objects are by far not the WIMPs of the Galactic halo that interact only weakly with matter but are apparently electrically charged Planckian objects, i.e. daemons which fall from Earth-crossing orbits with V = 30–50 km/s and undergo multiple interaction with condensed matter already in its outer layers, on a path of a few tens of cm. Therefore, one should use not compact massive detectors but rather systems with a large surface area, as we did to detect daemons with thin ZnS ( Ag ) scintillators. There are grounds to believe that correct use of the single-hit criterion in LIBRA should reveal DM particles with V = 30–50 km/s, and subsequently, with V = 10–15 km/s as well.

Abstract:

Increased operational effectiveness and the dynamic integration of only temporarily available compute resources (opportunistic resources) becomes more and more important in the next decade, due to the scarcity of resources for future high energy physics experiments as well as the desired integration of cloud and high performance computing resources. This results in a more heterogenous compute environment, which gives rise to huge challenges for the computing operation teams of the experiments. At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) we design solutions to tackle these challenges. In order to ensure an efficient utilization of opportunistic resources and unified access to the entire infrastructure, we developed the Transparent Adaptive Resource Dynamic Integration System (TARDIS). A scalable multi-agent resource manager providing interfaces to provision as well as dynamically and transparently integrate resources of various providers into one common overlay batch system. Operational effectiveness is guaranteed by relying on COBalD – the Opportunistic Balancing Daemon and its simple approach of taking into account the utilization and allocation of the different resource types, in order to run the individual workflows on the best-suited resource respectively. In this contribution we will present the current status of integrating various HPC centers and cloud providers into the compute infrastructure at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as well as our experiences gained in a production environment.

Abstract:

Abstract. Hydrological models are usually systems of nonlinear differential equations for which no analytical solutions exist and thus rely on numerical solutions. While some studies have investigated the relationship between numerical method choice and model error, the extent to which extreme precipitation such as that observed during hurricanes Harvey and Katrina impacts numerical error of hydrological models is still unknown. This knowledge is relevant in light of climate change, where many regions will likely experience more intense precipitation. In this experiment, a large number of hydrographs are generated with the modular modeling framework FUSE (Framework for Understanding Structural Errors), using eight numerical techniques across a variety of forcing data sets. All constructed models are conceptual and lumped. Multiple model structures, parameter sets, and initial conditions are incorporated for generality. The computational cost and numerical error associated with each hydrograph were recorded. Numerical error is assessed via root mean square error and normalized root mean square error. It was found that the root mean square error usually increases with precipitation intensity and decreases with event duration. Some numerical methods constrain errors much more effectively than others, sometimes by many orders of magnitude. Of the tested numerical methods, a second-order adaptive explicit method is found to be the most efficient because it has both a small numerical error and a low computational cost. A small literature review indicates that many popular modeling codes use numerical techniques that were suggested by this experiment to be suboptimal. We conclude that relatively large numerical errors may be common in current models, highlighting the need for robust numerical techniques, in particular in the face of increasing precipitation extremes.

Abstract:

This article explores the “daemons” that many university students face by exploring Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in a creative way. Using a poetic method called “erasure,” the author of this article cut fragmented descriptions of Victor Frankenstein, and stitched them together to craft a poem about the need for self-care in the university setting. The poem includes a preface to provide some theoretical context and background information on Frankenstein.

Abstract:

New England in 1692 was a community grappling with the cosmic meaning of capitalism in an age during which the market came to define life in the Atlantic world. Binding contracts, mobile capital and commodity exchange offered both philosophical proof and significant peril for a community rooted in a firm belief in the sacredness of contract covenants and in the reality of spectral forces intervening into the material world. As a result, the legal documents produced during the bloody witchcraft crisis that swept Massachusetts in those terrible years articulate a widespread anxiety about the potentially accursed nature of commodities that travel through and index social connections, the morally ambiguous incursions of invisible economic forces into everyday life, the compelling experience of contracts given divine or diabolical aegis and the cultural syncretism of a constellated culture bound together through market interrelations. As tales of witchcraft have taken root firmly as American narrative touchstones, those anxieties have remained central to representations of the witch trials in popular imagination. The novels, plays and films that return to the crisis’ collection of legal documents, economic contracts and oral performances, position contested issues of obliterative commodification, troubled economic social contact and cultural and racial insecurity at the heart of American folklore. This reading re-centres both primary sources and subsequent popular depictions of the witch crisis around the stories told through contracts and around the commodities and commodity exchanges that remained persistent features of Massachusetts Bay’s imbricated modes of storytelling. It reads these documents as evidence for the emergence of Atlantic market capitalism as a cosmic force, an obscure but interventionist God made powerful through market logic, and it argues that this force continues to define America’s central bloody myth of self.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this review the oldest known advanced astronomical instrument and dedicated analogue computer is presented, in context. The Antikythera Mechanism a mysterious device, assumed to be ahead of its time, probably made around 150 to 100 BCE, has been found in a 1st century BCE shipwreck near the island of Antikythera in a huge ship full of Greek treasures that were on their way to Rome. The Antikythera Mechanism is a clock-like device made of bronze gears, which looks much more advanced than its contemporary technological achievements. It is based on mathematics attributed to the Hipparchus and possibly carries knowledge and tradition that goes back to Archimedes, who according to ancient texts constructed several automata, including astronomical devices, a mechanical planetarium and a celestial sphere. The Antikythera Mechanism probably had a beautiful and expensive box; looking possibly like a very elaborate miniature Greek Temple, perhaps decorated with golden ornaments, of an elegant Hellenistic style, even perhaps with automatic statuettes, ‘daemons’, functioning as pointers that performed some of its operations. Made out of appropriately tailored trains of gears that enable to perform specialised calculations, the mechanism carries concentric scales and pointers, in one side showing the position of the Sun in the ecliptic and the sky, possibly giving the time, hour of the day or night, like a clock. The position of the Moon and its phase is also shown during the month. On the other side of the Mechanism, having probably the size of a box (main part 32×20×6 cm), are two large spiral scales with two pointers showing the time in two different very long calendars, the first one concerning the eclipses, and lasting 18 years 11 days and 8 hours, the Saros period, repeating the solar and lunar eclipses, and enabling their prediction, and the 19 year cycle of Meton, that is the period the Moon reappears in the same place of the sky, with the same phase. An additional four-year dial shows the year of all Greek Festivities, the so-called ‘games’ (Olympic, Pythian, Isthmian etc). Two additional dials give the Exeligmos, the 54 year and 34 day cycle, which provides a more accurate prediction of eclipses. It is possible that the Mechanism was also equipped with a planetary show display, as three of the planets and their motion (stationary points) are mentioned many times in the manual of the instrument, so it was also a planetarium. From the manual we have hints that the mechanism was probably also an observational instrument, as having instructions concerning a viewfinder and possibly how to orient the viewfinder to pass a sunbeam through it, probably measuring the altitude of the Sun. There are fragmented sentences that probably give instructions on how to move the pointers to set the position of the Sun, the Moon and the planets in their initial places in the ecliptic, on a specific day, or how to measure angular distances between two celestial bodies or their coordinates. This mechanism is definitely not the first one of its kind. The fact that it is accompanied with instructions means that the constructor had in its mind to be used by somebody else and one posits that he made at least another similar instrument.

Abstract:

In view of the increasing computing needs for the HL-LHC era, the LHC experiments are exploring new ways to access, integrate and use non-Grid compute resources. Accessing and making efficient use of Cloud and High Performance Computing (HPC) resources present a diversity of challenges for the CMS experiment. In particular, network limitations at the compute nodes in HPC centers prevent CMS pilot jobs to connect to its central HTCondor pool in order to receive payload jobs to be executed. To cope with this limitation, new features have been developed in both HTCondor and the CMS resource acquisition and workload management infrastructure. In this novel approach, a bridge node is set up outside the HPC center and the communications between HTCondor daemons are relayed through a shared file system. This conforms the basis of the CMS strategy to enable the exploitation of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) resources, the main Spanish HPC site. CMS payloads are claimed by HTCondor condor_startd daemons running at the nearby PIC Tier-1 center and routed to BSC compute nodes through the bridge. This fully enables the connectivity of CMS HTCondor-based central infrastructure to BSC resources via the PIC HTCondor pool. Other challenges include building custom singularity images with CMS software releases, bringing conditions data to payload jobs, and custom data handling between BSC and PIC. This report describes the initial technical prototype, its deployment and tests, and future steps. A key aspect of the technique described in this contribution is that it could be universally employed in similar network-restrictive HPC environments elsewhere.

Abstract:

We propose a self-stabilizing algorithm for computing a maximal matching in an anonymous network. The complexity is O(2) moves with high probability, under the adversarial distributed daemon. Among all adversarial distributed daemons and with the anonymous assumption, our algorithm provides the best known complexity. Moreover, the previous best known algorithm working under the same daemon and using identity has a O(m) complexity leading to the same order of growth than our anonymous algorithm. Finally, we do not make the common assumption that a node can determine whether one of its neighbors points to it or to another node, and still we present a solution with the same asymptotic behavior.

Abstract:

Abstract In two passages in particular of his Commentary on the Timaeus, Proclus attributes to his master Syrianus a series of arguments in favour of not confining gods or daemons to any particular level of the universe, either hypercosmic or encosmic, as had been the more or less universal practice of earlier Platonists, but asserting the ubiquity of all classes of ‘higher being’ at every level, and criticising earlier doctrine as in effect cutting the gods off from contact with man, thus undermining the power of theurgy. This interesting development was in fact initiated (as in so many other details of Syrianus’ doctrine) by his Syrian forerunner Iamblichus of Chalkis, and it is this doctrine that this essay seeks to explore.

Abstract:

Summary Papyrus Havana has long being known as the source –among others – of a rare version of the Book of the Dead spell 194, commonly addressed as ‘Anubis and the daemons’ after Heerma van Voss, but until very recent no complete edition of it had been made. A detailed study of the spell copy is presented for the first time, including its reconstruction, transcription, translation and interpretation. Also, a comparative analysis of spell sequences from other related witnesses that connect p. Havana with the Book of the Dead tradition from the Twenty-first Dynasty and the Theban area is presented, along with the spell’s iconographic, textual and historical relationship with other sources like the fishers and fowlers with the net (BD 153) and the Reinigungsszene.
