Former Owners of Manuscripts from the Günzburg Family Collection: Identification Attempt

This article is devoted to the analysis of owners’ stamps and inscriptions on manuscripts from the Günzburg family collection stored in the Russian State Library (RSL). The author did not set out to provide exhaustive information about the previous owners, part of whom still remains unidentified. The purpose of the article is to highlight the blocks of manuscripts that were previously part of other private libraries and later were acquired by the Günzburgs, as well as to focus on the most famous former owners of books. Information about them can be discovered in the owner’s inscriptions or, less often, stamps, which are usually found on the fly-leaf or the first folio of the manuscript. Sometimes, however, you can find out who owned a particular book by studying the catalogues of private libraries that were sold out after the death of their owners. This method let to discover among the previous owners of the Günzburg manuscripts such names as Nathan Nahman Koronel, scholar and book publisher, and Fischl Hirsch, bibliophile and bookseller. Based on information from the owners’ inscriptions, we learned that a number of manuscripts from the Günzburg collection were owned by such scholars as Seligmann Baer, Elyakim Carmoly and Shlomo Dubno. Some manuscripts of the collection bear inscriptions of Parisian bookseller Menahem Lifshits with the date and information to whom this particular manuscript belonged earlier. Almost all of them originated from various private libraries on the territory of modern Italy and pertained to more or less known now Italian rabbis or bibliophiles. It is worth noting that the surnames of Italian Jewish families, such as Segre, Finzi, Foa and Travis, are more often found in the owners’ inscriptions on the manuscripts from the Günzburg library than Jewish names from other regions. Among the famous owners of Italian origin is Abraham Yosef Shlomo Graziano, who was Rabbi, scholar and poet and was known for his rather wide view of the Jewish religious laws — Halakha. Separately, it should be noted a few female names and their ownership inscriptions found among the owners of the manuscripts. The article presents the original spelling of some of the names of the owners of manuscripts.
HIERARCHY BASED LEAST SQUARE APPROXIMATION AND INTERPOLATION METHOD FOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

Cloud resource allocation is a complex process because the Service Level Agreement(SLA) parameters and Quality of Service (QoS) parameter should be satisfied before allocating resources to the user. In this paper, resources are allocated to the user based on user requested memory and bandwidth. Weighted Least Square Approximation method is used to match the user required memory and bandwidth with the available resource memory and bandwidth. Weighted Least Square Approximation method produces a set of line equations that match the user request with the resource. For each parameter set of the line equation will be produced. Iterative Interpolation Technique is used to predict suitable resources by using the set of line equations.Â  Data are tested in CloudSim, the proposed method provides an optimal solution in all test cases.
The Computational Model of Hitting Probability for Gun to Fire on Ground Target

During gun firing on ground target, the hitting probability is to estimate the firing efficiency of gun. Based on the characteristic for gun to shoot at ground target, the firing errors of gun and calculation method of target's area are analysed, then the hitting probability models of single shot and multiple shots are put forward. This provides scientific evidence for user of gun to reckon combat capability of gun and make decisions during firing on ground target.
Repeatability with Random Numbers Using Algorithmic Skeletons

This article presents a solution to ensure repeatability at software level when using pseudorandom numbers in parallel computations. This is achieved automatically to ease the developer, without inducing performance loss compared to a manual approach thanks to template metaprogramming.Based on the data flow mechanism proposed in a previous work to design and execute algorithmic skeletons, we automate the correct usage of Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG) streams. This mechanism makes it possible to assign a PRNG stream to any part of an algorithm, and reaching repeatability can be done by providing the same random number sequence to any parallelizable task, whether it is in a parallel run, regardless of the degree of parallelism, or in a sequential one. Parallelizable tasks can easily be identified within algorithmic skeletons as they provide information about each component of their structure, accessible at compile-time.We illustrate our solution on a metaheuristic to solve an Operational Research (OR) problem that allows several levels of parallelism.
Statistical Guarantees for Transformation Based Models with Applications to Implicit Variational Inference

Transformation-based methods have been an attractive approach in non-parametric inference for problems such as unconditional and conditional density estimation due to their unique hierarchical structure that models the data as flexible transformation of a set of common latent variables. More recently, transformation-based models have been used in variational inference (VI) to construct flexible implicit families of variational distributions. However, their use in both non-parametric inference and variational inference lacks theoretical justification. We provide theoretical justification for the use of non-linear latent variable models (NL-LVMs) in non-parametric inference by showing that the support of the transformation induced prior in the space of densities is sufficiently large in the $L_1$ sense. We also show that, when a Gaussian process (GP) prior is placed on the transformation function, the posterior concentrates at the optimal rate up to a logarithmic factor. Adopting the flexibility demonstrated in the non-parametric setting, we use the NL-LVM to construct an implicit family of variational distributions, deemed GP-IVI. We delineate sufficient conditions under which GP-IVI achieves optimal risk bounds and approximates the true posterior in the sense of the Kullback-Leibler divergence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on providing theoretical guarantees for implicit variational inference.
Geological structure of the Karabash ore district (Southern Urals)

Research subject . The Karabash ore district is a unique structural zone in the Ural folded system, formed at the joint of the Magnitogorsk and Tagil depressions. The uniqueness of this zone is associated with its specific formation conditions: a Paleozoic copper pyrite belt with a width of about 8 km was squeezed between two blocks of ancient metamorphic rocks. This zone features a classic copper-pyrite deposit represented by steeply dipping ore bodies, which were initially characterized by a gentle dip. Elucidation of the primary geological structure and tectonic evolution of the district presents a relevant research task. Materials and methods . A geological cross section of the Karabash district was studied. Particular attention was paid to interactions between Paleozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks and ultramafic bodies, whose age was determined by the method of zircon U–Pb dating. Results . The age of ultramafic bodies in the Karabash district was found to be 430–440 million years. Serpentinite blend (mélange) zones having a width of 60m were discovered in the sites of contact between ultramafites and host rocks. Regularities in the location of these zones in the eastern and western parts of the district make them suitable horizon markers for constructing a geological cross section of the Karabash ore district. Conclusions . It is established that the Karabash district is represented by a monocline synclinal fold formed by contraction of primary horizontal layers in the direction from east to west. The formation of the Zolotaya Gora golden deposit located in the eastern limb of the synclinal fold was associated with tectonic contraction processes.
DGST: a Dual-Generator Network for Text Style Transfer

We propose DGST, a novel and simple Dual-Generator network architecture for text Style Transfer. Our model employs two generators only, and does not rely on any discriminators or parallel corpus for training. Both quantitative and qualitative experiments on the Yelp and IMDb datasets show that our model gives competitive performance compared to several strong baselines with more complicated architecture designs.
Penyusunan Prosedur Tetap dan Pemasangan Rambu Evakuasi Gedung Pasar Tradisional dalam Rangka Mitigasi Bencana Gempa

The city of Padang needs preparedness to deal with the earthquake and tsunami, which is likely to be repeated. The places that should get more attention during a disaster are public places and public facilities, such as schools, hospitals, offices, and shopping centers. This is because the human population is quite dense in these places so that an effective and planned evacuation process is needed to avoid many casualties during a disaster. Pasar Raya Padang, located in Kampung Jao, Kecamatan Padang Barat, is the largest shopping center in the city of Padang and has a relatively dense population. West Padang is included in a high-risk zone for tsunamis, while Pasar Raya Building Block I-IV located in the Pasar Raya area of Padang does not yet have fixed procedures for dealing with disasters and evacuation guidance signs in the building whereas the existence of procedures and guidelines for evacuation is a mitigation that must be done in the context of disaster preparedness. The implementation of community service activities is focused on developing procedures to deal with the earthquake and tsunami. The results will be implemented in the form of installing evacuation signs inside the building and evacuation instructions outside the building. It is submitted planning documents for the Pasar Raya evacuation signs Block I-IV to the Padang City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). Implemented 1 signpost of assembly point and 48 evacuation guidance signs consisting of evacuation route instructions, emergency access instructions, and exit access instructions at Pasar Raya Building Block IV.

Enhancement of Security using Various Web Development Frameworks

From the past analysis by various organizations, it has been observed that during the web development phase, the developers didn’t invest much of their focus on the security of the product which resulted in its break-down and gave rise to the vulnerabilities; ultimately defeating the user’s trust. A simple way to overcome the vulnerabilities is to use web development frameworks with past records of good security tracks. This paper aims to provide concise information about web development, its uses, about various frameworks, and threats to web development and websites. The paper presents a collection of work to the best of our understanding by highlighting the role and importance of web development, followed by its drawbacks and threats of web development. Further the paper presents the best practices that should be considered during the development phase of the product and how these efforts can be reduced by using web development frameworks. Finally, the paper confers about the vulnerabilities of WebApps and websites, how to overcome those and their mitigation, followed by the issues and challenges which serve the purpose of future scope and enhancement.
Regression to the mean enhances perceptual resolutions of face identification

Perceptual resolutions can be improved by contextual influences. This is exemplified in the tendency to be biased towards the center of stimulus sample (regression-to-the-mean (RTM)), thus optimizing outcomes by accounting for noise. We examined whether contextual influences may underlie refined face representations shaped by experience, and the reduced perceptual resolution exhibited in less frequently encountered faces as evident in the “other-race effect”. Participants performed a same/different task on two consecutive faces drawn from a sample of 100 morph levels created from two faces. Order of presentation was manipulated in different trials: in half of the trials the first face was closer to the mean of the morph continuum (bias+), and in the other half, the first face was further away from the mean (bias-). We surmised that RTM would be manifested in better performance in the bias+ trials, where perceived distance between the two faces increases because of regression of the first face towards the mean. Experiment 1 revealed that for own-race faces, all participants exhibited RTM evident during the first or second session. The extent of the RTM effect correlated with performance on face perception tests, indicating its relevance to face processing. Experiment 2 revealed that for other-race faces, RTM was evident in all participants already during the first session. However, the other-race effect was demonstrated for the bias- trials, but was diminished for the bias+ trials, implying that the poor face representations of other-race faces may originate from a weak reference. When a strong reference facilitated discrimination (bias+ trials), the disadvantage of other-race faces was no longer evident. The results suggest that better resolution of face representation can be achieved when a strong reference of a typical, averaged face is established. Moreover, mechanisms of perceptual inference enhancing general perceptual resolutions may underlie the way experience refines face representations.
Training and Funding Pipelines for Data Science: the Need for a Common Core of Transdisciplinary Principles

In their articles in this HDSR issue, Jeannette Wing, Xuming He, and Xihong Lin have eloquently laid out several research challenges for data science in the years to come.In order to support the development of a conducive research environment for effectively tackling such challenges, we need to ensure the development of two fundamental ingredients:In what follows, I discuss some important considerations for developing these ingredients, focusing in particular on the need to develop both a strong core of principles for data science, and a broad arsenal of tools for applying data science methods in diverse domains (much as has been done previously in mathematics, statistics, and computer science, except that the emerging field of data science brings some unexpected and unique considerations as outlined below).

Image Outpainting and Harmonization using GANs

Although the inherently ambiguous task of predicting what resides on the far side all four edges of a image has rarely been explored before, we have a tendency to demonstrate that GANs hold powerful potential in manufacturing reasonable extrapolations. Two outpainting ways square measure projected that aim to instigate this line of research: the primary approach uses a context encoder inspired by common inpainting architectures and paradigms, whereas the second approach adds an extra post-processing step using a single-image generative model. This way, the hallucinated details are integrated with the design of the original image.
Practical Volume-Based Attacks on Encrypted Databases

Recent years have seen an increased interest towards strong security primitives for encrypted databases (such as oblivious protocols), that hide the access patterns of query execution, and reveal only the volume of results. However, recent work has shown that even volume leakage can enable the reconstruction of entire columns in the database. Yet, existing attacks rely on a set of assumptions that are unrealistic in practice: for example, they (i) require a large number of queries to be issued by the user, or (ii) assume certain distributions on the queries or underlying data (e.g., that the queries are distributed uniformly at random, or that the database does not contain missing values). In this work, we present new attacks for recovering the content of individual user queries, assuming no leakage from the system except the number of results and avoiding the limiting assumptions above. Unlike prior attacks, our attacks require only a single query to be issued by the user for recovering the keyword. Furthermore, our attacks make no assumptions about the distribution of issued queries or the underlying data. Instead, our key insight is to exploit the behavior of real-world applications. We start by surveying 11 applications to identify two key characteristics that can be exploited by attackers: (i) file injection, and (ii) automatic query replay. We present attacks that leverage these two properties in concert with volume leakage, independent of the details of any encrypted database system. Subsequently, we perform an attack on the real Gmail web client by simulating a server-side adversary. Our attack on Gmail completes within a matter of minutes, demonstrating the feasibility of our techniques. We also present three ancillary attacks for situations when certain mitigation strategies are employed.
RANCANG BANGUN APLIKASI REKAM MEDIS BAGI PASIEN UNIT KESEHATAN KAMPUS BERBASIS WEB (Studi Kasus: Universitas Muhammadiyah Ponorogo)

To improve health care and processing data for medical records at the Muhammadiyah Ponorogo University campus health unit, a modern medical record information system is needed. The current medical record-recording process in the Muhammadiyah University campus medical unit of Ponorogo is still done by hand, which is by writing in a book and a patient's treatment card. This is running less optimal because an official has to retrieve and retrieve the data that will be needed in a patient's books and treatment cards, so it takes little time and space. The aim of this study is to develop an existing medical record system, becoming a web-based modern medical record system for patients to record clearly and more efficiently. The study begins with observation, study literature, and then follows the design method using the waterfall model, the context diagram design, the flow diagram (DFD), entity relathionship diagram (erd), system interface design and application testing. With the design of this application for medical records, it is hoped to be beneficial and can improve health care at UKK Muhammadiyah University Ponorogo. The design of this medical record application is still in short supply, and few improvements and innovations that the age has developed need to be made.
Review: Balboni, Paolo E. (2018). A theoretical framework for language education and teaching. Cambridge Scholars Publishing.

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; The volume is a reflection on the status of educational linguistics as a field of investigation in its own right. The author’s objective is to outline a theoretical framework for language education and teaching that is independent from the cultural features of the context in which the language curriculum is implemented. This goal seems to be intended by the author as a way to organize the many and often fragmentary trends and threads of research in the field and to provide scholars and practitioners with a benchmark against which they can contrast their research and professional practice decisions.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY: THE PROBLEM OF MATCHING THE DISCIPLINE SPECIFICS TO THE STATE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS

In this paper authors relies on the statement that the main and most important function of philosophy in society is the worldview function. However, the latest version of the state standard of higher education replaced the requirements for the formation of a worldview and civic position with the development of the ability to systematic and critical thinking. According to authors, this significantly reduces the potential of philosophy as an academic discipline, since thinking is an integral element of the established personality, and not vice versa. The paper shows that the target attitude in teaching philosophy, focused on the development of personal qualities of students, corresponds to the main problems of philosophical knowledge. At the same time, the anthropological aspect, supplemented by the onto-epistemological theme, contributes to the formation of the methodological culture of the future specialist. The authors note that such features of philosophical knowledge as rationalism, logical evidence based on empirical data of natural Sciences, and critical interaction between philosophical concepts in the space-time continuum will help to solve the problem of developing the student's thinking, which is not the primary goal of teaching philosophy in higher education, but a subordinate task.
