REMARK
Van Dingenen et al. (2016:149) highlighted the problem with the Tornus subcarinatus (Montagu, 1803) species concept as accepted at present, in which specimens with paucispiral and multispiral protoconchs are considered conspecific. They concluded that there were two species: an Atlantic species T. subcarinatus, with a multispiral protoconch of about 2.1- 2.25 whorls, with a small nucleus (counting including first half whorl: Rolán & Rubio 2002: figs 5, 6; Van Aartsen et al. 1998: fig. 7), and a Mediterranean species that is at present unnamed with a paucispiral protoconch of 1.25-1.4 whorls, with a larger nucleus (Rolán & Rubio 2002: figs 13, 14; Van Aartsen et al. 1998: fig. 7). With a protoconch of 2.5 whorls the specimens from Selsoif are typical of the Atlantic species T. subcarinatus.

description: The aim of this paper is to point out the lack of giving importance to ecological taxes and the low participation of dedicated revenues in the structure of these taxes in the tax system of the Republic of Serbia. Environmental taxes have gained in importance, especially through the ecological tax reform in a number of European countries, which have proved to be significantly more effective compared to other available instruments in the struggle against environmental problems. The premise of this paper is that the inadequate structure of environmental taxes has a negative impact on allocations in the field of environmental protection. This hypothesis will be tested by using statistical methods and comparative analysis.

Good statistical quality of the spectrum in a hard X-ray energy band (INTEGRAL/IBIS and RXTE/HEXTE) allowed us to disentangle contributions of a direct optically thin plasma emission and a reflected component to the spectrum of V1223 Sgr. The obtained measurement of the post-shock temperature of the accreting matter give us the information about the mass of the white dwarf and the inclination of the system.

description: Customer Relationship Management is not just an approach but an unfathomable philosophy of running a business into a successful venture. Often some profitable departments forget about the essential components of CRM. Departments who gained a surplus of profit in the past without using the technology must need a realignment to use the most up to date technology. In the 21st century, CRM is an integration of people, processes, and technology; however, technology is the forerunner. Organizations that have adopted a balance CRM have awarded customer growth and loyalty. More than marketing and sales, retention of the customers increases the overall growth of an organization that can be achieved with an effective CRM.

description: We present the theory and implementation of a Poisson-Boltzmann implicit solvation model for electrolyte solutions. This model can be combined with arbitrary electronic structure methods that provide an accurate charge density of the solute. A hierarchy of approximations for this model includes a linear approximation for weak electrostatic potentials, finite size of the mobile electrolyte ions and a Stern-layer correction. Recasting the Poisson-Boltzmann equations into Euler-Lagrange equations then significantly simplifies the derivation of the free energy of solvation for these approximate models. The parameters of the model are then either fit directly to experimental observables, e.g. the finite ion size, or optimized for agreement with experimental results. Experimental data for this optimization is available in the form of Sechenov coefficients that describe the linear dependence of the salting-out effect of solutes with respect to the electrolyte concentration. In the final part we rationalize the qualitative disagreement of the finite ion size modification to the Poisson-Boltzmann model with experimental observations by taking into account the electrolyte concentration dependence of the Stern layer. A route towards a revised model that captures the experimental observations while including the finite ion size effects is then outlined. This implementation paves the way for the study of electrochemical and electrocatalytic processes of molecules and cluster models with accurate electronic structure methods.

description: We introduce a mean-field model for the potential energy landscape of a thin fluid film confined between parallel substrates. The model predicts how the number of accessible basins on the energy landscape and, consequently, the film's ideal glass transition temperature depend on bulk pressure, film thickness, and the strength of the fluid-fluid and fluid-substrate interactions. The predictions are in qualitative agreement with the experimental trends for the kinetic glass transition temperature of thin films, suggesting the utility of landscape-based approaches for studying the behavior of confined fluids.

description: © The Author(s) 2018. In response to the “replication crisis” many psychologists recommended that the field adopt several proposed reforms to research practices (PRRPs), like preregistration, to make research more replicable. However, reception of PRRPs is not well known. We wanted to know the rationales researchers had for not using them. We analyzed data of 1,035 researchers in social and personality psychology from Motyl et al. (2017) who asked them to explain when they thought it was acceptable to not use four specific PRRPs: preregistering hypotheses/methods, making data publicly available online, conducting formal power analyses, and reporting effect sizes. Our results suggest that (a) adoption and use of PRRPs is quite varied and (b) rationales for not using them reflect a need for more discussion and education about the utility and feasibility of the proposed reforms.

description: Cowden syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant hamartoma and tumor predisposition syndrome caused by heterozygous pathogenic germline variants in PTEN in most affected individuals. Major features include macrocrania, multiple facial tricholemmomas, acral and oral keratoses and papillomas, as well as mammary, non-medullary thyroid, renal, and endometrial carcinomas. Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), or dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum, is the typical brain tumor associated with CS; the lifetime risk for LDD in CS patients has been estimated to be as high as 30%. In contrast, medulloblastoma is much rarer in CS, with only 4 reported cases in the literature. We report a 5th such patient. All 5 patients were diagnosed between 1 and 2 years of age and not all showed the pathognomonic clinical stigmata of CS at the time of their medulloblastoma diagnosis. Where detailed information was available, the medulloblastoma was of the SHH-subtype, in keeping with the observation that in sporadic medulloblastomas, PTEN-alterations are usually encountered in the SHH-subtype. Medulloblastomas can be associated with several tumor-predisposition syndromes and of the 4 medulloblastoma subtypes, SHH-medulloblastomas in children have the highest prevalence of predisposing germline variants (approx. 40%). CS should be added to the list of SHH-medulloblastoma-associated syndromes. Germline analysis of PTEN should be performed in infants with SHH-medulloblastomas, regardless of their clinical phenotype, especially if they do not carry pathogenic germline variants in PTCH1 or SUFU, the most commonly altered predisposing genes in this age-group. In addition, these cases show that CS has a biphasic brain tumor distribution, both in regards to the age of onset and the tumor type: a small number of CS patients develop a medulloblastoma in infancy while many more develop LDD in adulthood.

description: Consumers who eat industrial food products often forget traditionally produced food. In this case, it is necessary to remind consumers on already well-known products through series of promotional activities, i.e. get them familiar with the advantages implied by their consumption. The goal of this paper is to point out to the significance of promotional activities for the development of autochthonous food products market. A consumer is informed by the promotion, he/she forms a positive attitude, which represents an important influence on a decision whether to buy autochthonous food products. While planning the autochthonous food products promotion, it is necessary to choose activities that are going to be implemented. Regarding that autochthonous food products are the subject of the research, the special significance have the improvement of sale, personal sale and publicity which enable the communication to potential consumers. Other promotional activities are also significant. It is important to emphasize that coordinated or united activity of the promotional mix selected instruments represents an imperative for a successful promotion of autochthonous food products.

description: This paper is derived from one of our research mainstream; Research theme: Transportation resilience-Rail network vulnerability analysis.
Abstract: Railway network is an integral part of the economy of many countries. Identifying critical network elements can help network executives to take appropriate preventive actions before catastrophic disruptions or to add necessary redundancy to enhance the resilience of the rail network. The criticality of an element or a link is measured by calculating increased cost or delay when that element is disrupted. In this paper, we propose a framework for assessing the vulnerability of the rail networks by introducing two bi-level models. The first model determines those critical links which have the greatest impact on the routing cost when interdicted, and the next one takes the cost of scheduling into account, in addition to that of routing, over all origins and destinations. The trains are scheduled by a time-space framework considering customer demand, track and station capacities, and time planning horizon. To overcome the difficulty of solving bi-level models, they are converted to single level models using a heuristic approach. The paper includes two computational instances. The first is a test network which its results are compared with a full enumeration approach, namely the network scan method. Also a case study focused on three disruption scenarios in the railway network of Iran illustrates application of the developed models. The accuracy of obtained results indicates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. In addition, our method has a very short computational time compared to the network scan method.

description: Globalization is a multi-layered, long-running and irreversible process, which includes intensive changes, deterritorialization and acceleration of social activities. One vitally important aspect of globalization concerns its impact on the knowledge society. Through Americanization of universities and the Bologna Process, globalization has commercialized higher education, turning knowledge into a type of commodity. Under the influence of market forces, the university is starting to lose its long-guarded autonomy, becoming just another subject of corporative capitalism. Homogenization, standardization, specialization, economies of scale, marketing concepts, consumerism, as well as the primacy of knowledge that contributes to economic growth and higher profits are some of the key factors that directly affect higher education systems and institutions throughout the world. The goal of this study is to determine whether globalization is altering the essence of higher education-and how. In conclusion, we may state that future research ought to be increasingly aimed at examining the chances and threats of globalization in the context of the knowledge society

Thermal spin transport and spin in thermoelectrics

description: This article reviews the principles that govern the combined transport of spin, heat, and charge. The extensive thermodynamic quantity associated with spin transport is the magnetization; its Onsager-conjugate force is in general the derivative of the free energy with respect to the magnetization. Spins are carried in one of two ways: (1) by spin-polarized free electrons in magnetic metals and doped semiconductors, or (2) by spin waves (magnons) that reside on localized electrons on unfilled d- or f-shells of transition metal or rare-earth elements. The paper covers both cases in separate chapters. In both cases, it is possible to define a spin chemical potential whose gradient is the more practical conjugate force to spin transport. The paper further describes the anomalous Hall, spin Hall, and inverse spin Hall effects in magnetic and non-magnetic solids with strong spin-orbit coupling because these effects are used to generate and measure spin fluxes. Spin transport across interfaces is described next, and includes spin pumping and spin transfer torque. The final chapter then puts all these concepts together to describe the spin-Seebeck, spin-Peltier, and magnon-drag effects, which exist in ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and even paramagnetic solids. Magnon-drag, in particular, is a high-temperature effect that boosts the thermopower of metals by an order of magnitude and that of semiconductors by a factor of 2 or 3 above the electronic diffusion thermopower. This is the only example where a spin-driven effect is larger than a charge-driven effect. Magnon drag leads a simple binary paramagnetic semiconductor, MnTe, to have zT > 1 without optimization. This shows how adding spin as an additional design parameter in thermoelectrics research is a new and promising approach toward the quest for high-zT materials.

description: In this paper we present spectroscopic and photometric observations for four core collapse supernovae (SNe), namely SNe 1994N, 1999br, 1999eu and 2001dc. Together with SN 1997D, we show that they form a group of exceptionally low-luminosity events. These SNe have narrow spectral lines (indicating low expansion velocities) and low luminosities at every phase (significantly lower than those of typical core-collapse supernovae). The very low luminosity during the ^{56}Co radioactive decay tail indicates that the mass of ^{56}Ni ejected during the explosion is much smaller (M(Ni) ~ 2-8 x 10^{-3} Mo) than the average (M(Ni) ~ 6-10 x 10^{-2} Mo). Two supernovae of this group (SN 1999br and SN 2001dc) were discovered very close to the explosion epoch, allowing us to determine the lengths of their plateaux (~ 100 days) as well as establishiing the explosion epochs of the other, less-completely observed SNe. It is likely that this group of SNe represent the extreme low-luminosity tail of a single continuous distribution of SN II-P events. Their kinetic energy is also exceptionally low. Although an origin from low mass progenitors has also been proposed for low-luminosity core-collapse SNe, recent work provides evidence in favour of the high mass progenitor scenario. The incidence of these low--luminosity SNe could be as high as 4-5$ $ of all type II SNe.

description: Chiral light matter interaction enables new fundamental researches and applications of light. The interaction has traditionally faced challenges in low directionality and efficiency based on spin orbit interaction of light in microscopic waveguides. It is pivotal to exploit photonic integrated circuits to efficiently engineer photonic chiral behavior. Here, we present ultra directional high efficient chiral coupling in silicon photonic circuits based on low order to high order mode conversion and interference. We show that the directionality of chiral coupling, in principle, can approach minus/plus 1 with circular polarization inputs, benefited from the underlying mechanism of complete destructive and constructive interference. The chiral coupling efficiency can exceed 70%, with negligible scattering to nonguided modes, much higher than conventional coupling mechanisms. Moreover, the chiral silicon photonic circuits can function as a perfect 3 dB power splitter for arbitrarily linear polarization inputs, and also open up the possibility of on chip chirality determination to further flourish the development of chiral optics.

In a nominally zero-field-cooled regime we observed a paramagnetic response at low external fields for 45 degree asymmetric grain boundaries. We argue that the observed phenomenology results from the d-wave order parameter symmetry and depends on Andreev bound states.

description: The strongly exchange enhanced Pauli paramagnet LaCo$_9$Si$_4$ is found to exhibit an itinerant metamagnetic phase transition with indications for metamagnetic quantum criticality. Our investigation comprises magnetic, specific heat, and NMR measurements as well as ab-initio electronic structure calculations. The critical field is about 3.5 T for $H||c$ and 6 T for $H\bot c$, which is the lowest value ever found for rare earth intermetallic compounds. In the ferromagnetic state there appears a moment of about 0.2 $μ_B$/Co at the $16k$ Co-sites, but sigificantly smaller moments at the 4d and $16l$ Co-sites.

description: Observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at Very High Energy (VHE) offer a unique opportunity to investigate particle acceleration processes, magnetic fields and radiation fields in these events. Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations have been proven to be a powerful tool providing unique information on the source size of the GRBs at mas scales, as well as their accurate positions and possible expansion speeds. This paper reports on the follow-up observations of GRB 190114C, the first ever GRB detected with high significance at TeV photon energies by the MAGIC telescope, conducted with the East Asia VLBI Network (EAVN) at 22 GHz on three epochs, corresponding to 6, 15 and 32 days after the burst. The derived maps do not show any significant source above 5 sigma. The inferred upper limits on the GRB 190114C flux density at 22 GHz are used here to constrain the allowable two-dimensional parameter space for the afterglow emission. We find that our limits are consistent with most afterglow parameter combinations proposed so far in the literature. This is the first effort for the EAVN to search and monitor a radio transient in the Target of Opportunity mode. In addition to the useful constraints on GRB 190114C radio emission, experience gained from these observations is very helpful for future routine operation of EAVN transient program.

Precision measurements of Higgs boson properties with beyond-the-Standard Model interpretations at the CMS experiment
Creators: name: Langford, Jonathon Mark
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis details the precision measurements of Higgs boson properties at the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment. The measurements use proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13~TeV, collected during Run 2 of the LHC, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 137~\fbinv. Production cross sections and Higgs boson couplings are measured in the diphoton decay channel. Events with two isolated photons are selected and subsequently categorised to target different kinematic regions of the Higgs boson production phase-space. The total Higgs boson signal-strength, relative to the Standard Model prediction, is measured to be $1.12 \pm 0.09$. Other properties of the Higgs boson are measured. This includes a simultaneous measurement of 27 independent kinematic regions, representing the most granular measurement of Higgs boson production in a single decay channel to-date. Following this, a beyond-the-Standard Model interpretation of Higgs boson cross section measurements is provided. The interpretation is performed in an effective field theory framework, which benefits from being agnostic to the specifics of the complete beyond-the-Standard Model theory. Measurements from multiple Higgs boson decay channels are combined, enabling tighter constraints on a larger number of effective field theory parameters, and thereby reducing the parameter space for potential beyond-the-Standard Model physics. Ultimately, all results presented in this thesis are found to be consistent with the predictions of the Standard Model.
Sharing a common origin between the rotational and linear Doppler effects

description: The well-known linear Doppler effect arises from the linear motion between source and observer, while the less well-known rotational Doppler effect arises from the rotational motion. Here, we present both theories and experiments illustrating the relationship between the rotational and linear Doppler effects. A spiral phaseplate is used to generate a light beam carrying orbital angular momentum and the frequency shift is measured arising from its rotational and/or linear motion. By considering either the motion-induced time-evolving phase or the momentum and energy conservation in light-matter interactions, we derive the rotational Doppler shift, linear Doppler shift, and overall Doppler shift associated with rotational and linear motions. We demonstrate the relationship between rotational and linear Doppler shifts, either of which can be derived from the other effect, thereby illustrating their shared origin. Moreover, the close relationship between rotational and linear Doppler effects is also deduced for a more general moving rough surface.

description: Construction industry has complexity in its nature because it contains large number of parties as clients, contractors, consultants, stakeholders, shareholders, regulators and others. Construction projects in Libya suffer from many problems and complex issues in performance such as cost, time and safety. The aim of this work is to identify and evaluate the main factors affecting the performance of construction projects in Libya. Literature review about performance was reviewed to identify the factors affecting the Performance of construction projects. In addition, other local factors have been added as recommended by local experts. Pilot study of the questionnaire was achieved by a scouting sample, which consisted of 30 questionnaires. A questionnaire survey was conducted and 63 factors were identified, categorized into 10 groups, evaluated and ranked from owners, consultants and constructors perspectives. 120 questionnaires were distributed as follows: 25 to owners, 35 to consultants and 60 to contractors. 88 questionnaires were received (73%) as follows: 17 (70%) from owners, 25 (72%) from consultants and 46 (77%) from contractors as respondents. The most important factors agreed by the owners, consultants and contractors were: average delay because of closures and materials shortage; availability of resources as planned through project duration; leadership skills for project manager; escalation of material prices; availability of personals with high experience and qualification; and quality of equipments and raw materials in project.

description: The ultimate fate and environmental impact of marine plastic debris is a major policy concern that requires reliable assessments of regional pollution levels and rates of change: such information is critical for efficient decision making and setting the right priorities of measures to be taken. Bio-monitoring can provide such assessments by integrating pollution levels over space and time with an immediate link to ecological impact. It is the ecological impact that generates public awareness of the urgency of the problem and the willingness to accept and support measures to deal with that problem.

description: The authors point to the fact that the local government in Europe has a long tradition, so that in each of the European countries meet certain specifics regarding the structure, functioning and other characteristics, by which these countries differ from each other. It is quite natural, because such differences are a result of numerous factors that are, more or less, exerted influence on the formation of local self-government (its organization, jurisdiction code, position in society, the relationship between the state and the like). The authors pay special attention and give an analysis of the four major (the best known) model of local self-government - Britain, France, Germany and the United States. England and the United States can be considered the cradle of direct and independent forms of local government, while France was a prime example of the dependent (child) and indirect local government. In modern constitutional systems of much greater application has a two-stage local government, and its chief representative of the Federal Republic of Germany. Finally, there are some systems that do not distinguish between the state and local government, ie. between their bodies, because in such systems the organization of state power is unique and that, from the top all the way to the to the bottom (for example, the former Soviet Union, today’s People’s Republic of China and others).

description: Criminal justice authorities may wish to monitor or to control the location of particular person without resorting to imprisonment. An electronic monitoring device provides pretrial services, probation, or parole the chance to closely supervise convicted person by keeping track of where person are at or in some cases, determine if convicted person is consuming prohibited substances like alcohol or narcotics. Some systems provide tracing within predefined restricted areas. Systems like this are in use for different situations, for example before a criminal trial or after conviction. Authors described different ankle monitor systems that are in use, their advantages, disadvantages and data that collects. For each convicted person data from electronic monitor device is very important. Authors described machine learning method, which based on data could predict whether the convicted person will repeat the criminal offense or not. Methods like this works with hypothesis and gradient descent. At the end authors explored the role of these devices by the law of enforcement sanctions and measures outside the prison.

description: Recently a novel four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4EGB) theory of gravity was proposed by Glavan and Lin [D. Glavan and C. Lin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] which includes a regularized Gauss-Bonnet term by using the re-scaling of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $α\to α/(D-4)$ in the limit $D\to 4$. This theory also has been reformulated to a specific class of the Horndeski theory with an additional scalar degree of freedom and to a spatial covariant version with a Lagrangian multiplier that can eliminate the scalar mode. Here we study the physical properties of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a thin accretion disk around the static spherically symmetric black hole in the 4EGB gravity. For this purpose, we assume the disk is in a steady-state and in hydrodynamic and thermodynamic equilibrium so that the emitted electromagnetic radiation is a black body spectrum. We study in detail the effects of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $α$ in 4EGB gravity on the energy flux, temperature distribution, and electromagnetic spectrum of the disk. It is shown that with the increases of the parameter $α$, the energy flux, temperature distribution, and electromagnetic spectrum of the accretion disk all increase. Besides, we also show that the accretion efficiency increases as the growth of the parameter $α$. Our results indicate that the thin accretion disk around the static spherically symmetric black hole in the 4EGB gravity is hotter, more luminosity, and more efficient than that around a Schwarzschild black hole with the same mass for a positive $α$, while it is cooler, less luminosity, and less efficient for a negative $α$.
