Absolute metal concentrations after calibrating high resolution XRF core scanner data from highly polluted marine deposits offshore Portm&#225;n Bay and Barcelona, Spain

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;X-ray fluorescence core scanners (XRF-CS) allow rapid, non-destructive and continuous high-resolution analyses of the elemental composition of sediment cores. Since XRF-CS analyses are usually performed in fresh untreated materials, elemental intensities can be affected by the physical properties of the sediment (e.g. pore water content, grain size, sediment irregularities and changes in matrix) and the selected excitation parameters. Accordingly, the records of the measured elemental intensity cannot be considered quantitative. Nonetheless, these data can be converted to quantitative data through a linear regression approach using a relatively small number of discrete samples analyzed by techniques providing absolute concentrations. Such conversion constitutes a powerful tool to determine pollution levels in sediments at very high resolution. However, a precise characterization of the errors associated with the linear function is required to evaluate the quality of the calibrated element concentrations.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Here we present a novel calibration of high-resolution XRF-CS for Ti, Mn, Fe, Zn, Pb and As measured in heavily contaminated marine deposits. Three widely applied regression methods have been tested to determine the best linear function for XRF data conversion, which are: the ordinary least-squares (OLS) method, which does not consider the standard error in any variable (x and y), the weighted ordinary least-squares (WOLS) method, which considers the weighted standard error of the vertical variable (y), and the weighted least-squares (WLS) method, which incorporates the standard error in both x and y variables.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The results, derived from the analysis of metal-polluted sediments from offshore Portm&amp;amp;#225;n Bay and Barcelona, in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain, demonstrate that the applied calibration procedure improves the quality of the linear regression for any of the three regression methods (OLS, WOLS, and WLS), thus increasing correlation coefficients, which are higher than r&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;=0.94, and reducing data deviation from the linear function. Nonetheless, the WLS appears as the best regression method to minimize errors in the calibrated element concentrations. Our results open the door to use calibrated XRF-CS data to evaluate marine sediment pollution according to the sediment quality guidelines (SQG) with errors lower than 0.4% to 2% for Fe, 1% to 7% for Zn, 3 to 14% for Pb, and 5% to 16% for Mn, which highlight the robustness of the calibration procedure here presented. Our study incorporates and evaluates for the first time the analytical and statistical errors of XRF-CS data calibration, and evidences that the errors of the calibrated element concentrations must be properly assessed in future calibration efforts.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
A flapping flying robot with left-and-right wings independent drive system equipped with a shift mechanism of center-of-gravity

We have developed a flapping flying robot equipped with a shift mechanism of center-of-gravity (COG), whose left-and-right wings are independently driven by two micro-motors. The COG shift mechanism allows seamless changes in the flight attitude between hovering and level flights by controlling the pitch angle. In this work, the flapping mechanism was remodeled into double motor drive system to control the flipping frequencies of left and right wings independently. Motion capture measurements shows that the flight attitude becomes more stable, and the turning radius is dramatically shrunk.
The pooled mean group approach on saving and investment link in Africa: Implication on capital mobility

This paper examines the link between saving and investment in Africa. Pooled Mean Group (PMG) is used in investigating the link. The global data sample covers thirty (30) African countries and a period of thirty-five (35) years. The analysis result reveals that there is a positive link between saving and investment, and the saving-retention coefficient is found to be 38.05 per cent, which implies relative capital mobility in the continent. However, there is a slight decline in capital mobility when compared to what was obtainable a decade ago. On average, the speed of adjustment has slightly increased (-0.25); convergence from short-run to long-run would take place within three (3) months in an instance of homogeneity. Nigeria and Malawi having the highest speed of adjustment (-0.57) among the countries in the global sample used. Meanwhile, Gambia happened to be the country with the highest capital mobility at the short-run. All these three (3) countries are Western-Africa countries, which means there are lessons to draw from them towards enhancing high convergence coefficient and increased capital mobility, especially, the management of their economic structures, savings and exchange rate policy. This paper concludes that there is an existence of relative capital mobility in Africa.

Modeling multi-agent interaction between labor market participants

This paper discusses a dynamic model of multi-agent interaction between the employing company and employees of different qualifications. The task is formalized as a game with n participants. Several employer firms simultaneously employ a finite number of employees. The usefulness of acquired employees by the firm in each separate period depends on its non-stationary utility function. It is assumed that the conditions of the game allow cooperative actions of participants and the redistribution of income between them. In addition, employee acquisition conditions may change over time. Thus, in the task of global maximization for T periods, employer firms should save some of their resources for some periods of time in order to use them in later periods of time. In this paper, an algorithm for finding a compromise solution is constructed and an example is given.

Noninvasive methods for quantifying sound post placement in a cello

The position and orientation of the sound post in violin family instruments has long been known to color the sound of the instrument. Small changes in the position of the sound post relative to the top and back plates of the instrument can result in audible changes in the instrument’s tone. Quantifying the effect of the sound post’s placement on tone requires precise localization of the sound post. Luthiers have developed simple techniques to localize the post relative to the top of the instrument. Precisely localizing the post relative to the back, however, typically requires disassembly of the endpin. In this study, a noninvasive technique was developed using a force hammer to localize the sound post relative to the back of the instrument. This method was verified on a wooden box model and subsequently applied to two cellos, one with a laminate construction and the other carved. The sound post was localized well in the wooden box and laminate cello, but not as well in the carved cello.

Authoritarian transparency: a comparative survey on open government information regulations in China

Since China's Open Government Information Regulation (OGI, the Regulation) went into effect on May 1, 2008, the Regulation has become one of the most important legal documents defining authoritarian transparency as well as the most popular legal citation in China's courts. The popularity of OGI in courts has brought scholars heated debates on the paradox of authoritarian transparency in China. Is the Regulation a promise of a window into the government decision-making or merely a strategic window-dressing? Such paradox compels us to search for a solid understanding on the OGI legislation, implementation and impacts in China. Thus, this chapter offers a holistic review of China's OGI in a comparative perspective. First, this chapter introduces the history of OGI regulations in China and locates the development of OGI legislation in the background of global diffusion of Freedom-of-Information Laws. Second, this chapter synthesizes the existing studies on Freedom of Information laws across nations and highlights three research themes on China's OGI research: 1) innovation by studying diffusion of OGI legislation; 2) responsiveness by examining implementation of OGI regulations; and 3) accountability by evaluating impacts of impacts of OGI regulation. Third, this chapter further discusses the research challenges and opportunities in studying China's OGI regulations and authoritarian information regime.

K-Medoids: Inflation Clustering of 90 Cities in Indonesia (January-October 2020)

Inflation affects society and the economy of a country. For the general public, inflation is a concern because inflation directly affects the welfare of life, and for the business world, the inflation rate is a very important factor in making various decisions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to cluster the inflation rate that occurs in 90 cities in Indonesia, so that it is known which cities have high, medium, or low inflation levels. The grouping algorithm used is K-Medoids data mining. The research data is quantitative data, namely inflation data that occurred in 90 major cities in Indonesia from January to October 2020. The data was obtained from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency. The clustering in this study is divided into 5, among others: cities with very high inflation rates, cities with high inflation rates, cities with moderate inflation rates, cities with low inflation rates, and cities with very low inflation rates. Based on the results of clustering analysis using rapidminer, for cities with a very high inflation rate category consists of 1 city (available on Cluster_4), high category consists of 4 cities (Cluster_0), medium category consists of 4 cities (Cluster_3), low category consists of 79 cities (Cluster_2) and very low category consisted of 2 cities (Cluster 1). This can provide information for the Indonesian government to keep the inflation rate stable.
Research on the Strategy of Deepening the Integration of Industry and Education and Promoting the Training of Application-Oriented Talents in Universities in Jilin

Since China joint the WTO, the economy has taken off, and national capital has accumulated rapidly. It has now become the second-largest economy. In the past two or three decades, with the rapid development of China’s socialist economy and the upgrading of the industrial structure, the academic college students’ talents need a longer transition time to adapt to the current upgraded economy. Along with the integration of industry and education, colleges and enterprises pay more and more attention to the cultivation and application of application-oriented talents and compound skills talents. Compared with traditional college student talents, the employment rate of application-oriented talents is relatively high. One of the school’s goals is the employment rate of students. Therefore, the talents need to explore the integration of industry and education to cater for the social and economic development of the new era. The cultivation of application-oriented talents have been valued by colleges and universities, and gradually promoted to various majors and colleges. This article mainly discusses the research on deepening the integration of industry and education in universities in Jilin Province.
Mediated Visibility as Making Vitriol Meaningful

When engaged in vitriol through digital media, users harm their peers notonly through the caustic nature of their words, but also by the way in whichthey can make their targets visible to public scrutiny. Social platformsand mobile devices enable individuals to author commentary about theirtargets, but also compel other types of actors to join in (or to contest,appropriate or derail) malicious exchanges. By focusing on highly visibleyet comparatively mundane forms of denunciation in China, Russia andthe United Kingdom, this chapter considers how vitriol can be manifestas a form of civic engagement. These cases provide insight about a moreprevalent form of vigilantism that may be located at the margins of whatis considered acceptable in their respective social contexts.
