X-ray Evidence for Supermassive Black Holes in Non-Active Galaxies. Subtitle: Detection of X-ray Flare Events, Interpreted as Tidal Disruptions of Stars by SMBHs

description: It has long been suggested that supermassive black holes in non-active galaxies might be tracked down by occasional tidal disruptions of stars on nearly radial orbits. A tidal disruption event would reveal itself by a luminous flare of electromagnetic radiation. Theorists argued that the convincing detection of such a tidal disruption event would be the observation of an event which fulfills the following three criteria: (1) the event should be of finite duration (a `flare'), (2) it should be very luminous (up to L_{max} ~ 10^{45} erg/s in maximum), and (3) it should reside in a galaxy that is otherwise perfectly {\em non-active} (to be sure to exclude an upward fluctuation in gaseous accretion rate of an {\em active} galaxy). During the last few years, several X-ray flare events were detected which match exactly the above criteria. We therefore consider these events to be excellent candidates for the occurrences of the theoretically predicted tidal disruption flares. In this contribution, we review the previous observations of giant X-ray flares from normal galaxies, present new results on these objects, critically discuss alternatives to the favored outburst scenario, and report results from our ongoing search for further tidal disruption flares based on the ROSAT all-sky survey database.

Variable Stars in M13. III. The Cepheid Variables and their Relation to Evolutionary Changes in Metal-poor BL Her Stars

description: New CCD photometry has been combined with published and unpublished earlier observations to study the three Cepheid variables in M13: V1, V2 and V6. The light curve characteristics in $B$, $V$ and $I_{\rm C}$ have been determined and the periods updated. A period change analysis shows all three stars have increasing periods but for V1 and V2 the rate of period increase does not appear to be constant over the 118 years of observation. The observed rates of period increase are in good agreement with the predictions of the Pisa theoretical models with helium abundance $Y = 0.25$. Theory suggests V1 and V6 have masses of $\sim0.57\,M_\odot$ and are in the redward-evolving final stage of the ``blue loop'' evolutionary phase that is produced when helium-shell ignition occurs. The larger period and period change rate for V2 indicate it has a mass of $\sim0.52\,M_\odot$. A study of eighteen metal-poor BL Her stars shows the observed period changes for such objects in general can be reasonably well explained using the predictions from horizontal branch evolutionary tracks. BL Her stars with periods less than $\sim$3 d and relatively large secular period change rates ($dP/dt\approx5-15$ d/Myr) are in the evolutionary stage before He-shell ignition; the remaining cases are stars that have already experienced He-shell ignition. Moreover, an analysis of crossing time through the instability strip indicates that it is likely that few, if any, BL Her stars have a He abundance as large as $Y = 0.33$.

description: During the last few years and because of the low oil prices in particular, the increasing awareness of the unsustainability of subsidized systems led several MENA countries to take steps to lower subsidies, which have been part of the social contract for decades, especially as far as the energy sector is concerned. Nowadays, the need for reforms is compelling for more than one reason. Namely, the subsidized system distorts market trends, fosters inefficient use of resources, depresses foreign direct investment and fuels overconsumption, which is no longer sustainable, particularly as far as the population growth in most of the MENA countries is concerned. In this paper both the resource-abundant countries and the energy importing nations will be analyzed, in order to investigate similarities and differences between the two and to carry out an initial assessment of the reforms in two representative countries, namely Saudi Arabia, exporting country par excellence, and Egypt, which imports energy.

description: We study private communication in social networks prior to a majority vote on two alternative policies. Some (or all) agents receive a private imperfect signal about which policy is correct. They can, but need not, recommend a policy to their neighbors in the social network prior to the vote. We show theoretically and empirically that communication can undermine efficiency of the vote and hence reduce welfare in a common interest setting. Both efficiency and existence of fully informative equilibria in which vote recommendations are always truthfully given and followed hinge on the structure of the communication network. If some voters have distinctly larger audiences than others, their neighbors should not follow their vote recommendation; however, they may do so in equilibrium. We test the model in a lab experiment and strong support for the comparative-statics and, more generally, for the importance of the network structure for voting behavior.

description: Paper provides synthesis of knowledge and empirical research on selected determinants of agricultural production and verifies the applicability of the methods of hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering in the agricultural sector. It identifies and categorizes the EU Member States in order to their clustering based on the similarity of common features in the context of direct (gross value added, support for agriculture, agriculturally utilized land) and indirect factors (employment, gross fixed capital) affecting the total agricultural production. The aim of the paper is creation of the economically meaningful groups of the EU countries that would confirm or reject the classification of old and new member states. The results of cluster analysis divided countries into three clusters, and confirmed that second cluster was represented by the new member states, and third by the old member states. Clusters were mutually different in the indicators of labour force in agriculture, support for agriculture, and agriculturally utilized land.
Some Phenomenological Aspects of Kaon Photoproduction in the Extreme Kinematics

description: We have investigated phenomenological aspects of kaon photoproduction in three different extreme kinematics. The first kinematics of interest is the threshold region. At the threshold we have investigated the convergence of kaon photoproduction amplitude by expanding the square of the amplitude in terms of the ratio $m_K/m$, where $m_K$ is the mass of kaon and $m$ is the averaged mass of nucleon and $Λ$-hyperon. The amplitude is calculated from the appropriate Feynman diagrams by using the pseudovector theory. The contact diagram as a consequence of the PCAC hypothesis is also taken into account in the amplitude. Our finding indicates that the convergence can be only achieved if the amplitude was expanded up to at least $12^{\rm th}$ order. As a consequence, applications of some theoretical calculations based on the expansion the scattering amplitude, such as the Low Energy Theorem or Soft Kaon Approximation, cannot be easily managed in kaon photoproduction. The second kinematics is the forward region, where we could assume only $t$-channel contributes to the process. Here we have investigated the effect of amplitude expansion on the extraction of the coupling constants $g_{K^+Λp}$ and $g^V_{K_1^+Λp}$. The last kinematics is the backward region, where we have also assumed that only $u$-channel survives and we could extract the leading coupling constants $g_{K^+Λp} $ and $g_{K^+Σ^0 p}$.

Annotation Guidelines for Named Entity Recognition, Entity Linking and Stance Detection

description: We describe the NewsEye annotation guidelines for named entity recognition, entity linking and stance detection.
 While the part of the guidelines on stance detection annotation is new, these guidelines are derived from Impresso NE annotation guidelines which are derived from Quaero guidelines. Originally designed for the annotation of “extended” named entities (i.e. more than the 3 or 4 traditional classes) in French speech transcriptions, Quaero guidelines have furthermore been used on historic press corpora. Impresso guidelines main’s difference with respect to Quaero’s is reduction: only a subset of Quaero entity types and components are considered, as well as a subset of linguistic units eligible as named entities. These adaptations result from what we deemed most relevant to annotate in our context, and from time and resource constraints. Despite these adaptations, impresso annotated corpora will mostly remain compatible with Quaero guidelines. These guidelines allowed building a multilingual dataset for named entity recognition, entity linking and stance detection in historical newpapers in French, German, Finnish and Swedish. The paper describing the guidelines and the dataset is available here. If you end up using the guidelines or the resource, please cite this paper: @inproceedings{Hamdi2021multilingual, title={A Multilingual Dataset for Named Entity Recognition, Entity Linking and Stance Detection in Historical Newspapers}, author={Hamdi, Ahmed and Boro{\c{s}}, Emanuela and Pontes, Elvys Linhares and Nguyen, Thi Tuyet Hai and Hackl, G{\"u}nter and Moreno, Jose G and Doucet, Antoine}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 44rd International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval}, year={2021} } Acknowledgments

description: Nowadays simple usability is one of the key tasks of web portals, especially if these are main information portals of the government. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the usability of a web portal eAGRI (eagri.cz) in terms of unregistered users. This means in terms of general public in particular. The main purpose of the testing is to highlight the issues that users may encounter on this portal and determine the level of portal usability. Our usability testing was focused on a public part of the portal. The main idea of eAGRI portal is to create a central access point to information resources of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and its subordinate organizations. Qualitative research methods were applied. Specifically, we used Heuristic evaluation as a usability inspection method and three methods of usability testing: 5 second test, 30 second test and Formalized think-aloud test.

description: We compute the phase diagram of salt-free polyelectrolyte solutions using a modified Debye-Huckel Approach. We introduce the chain connectivity via the Random Phase Approximation with two important modifications. We modify the electrostatic potential at short distances to include a bound on the electrostatic attractions at the distance of closest approach between charges. This modification is shown to act as a hard core in the phase diagram of electrolyte solutions. We also introduce a cut-off on the integration of the modes of wave length smaller than the size over which the chains are strongly perturbed by the electrostatic interactions. This cut-off is shown to be essential to predict physical phase diagram in long chain solutions.

description: A complex interplay of single-neuron properties and the recurrent network structure shapes the activity of cortical neurons. The single-neuron activity statistics differ in general from the respective population statistics, including spectra and, correspondingly, autocorrelation times. We develop a theory for self-consistent second-order single-neuron statistics in block-structured sparse random networks of spiking neurons. In particular, the theory predicts the neuron-level autocorrelation times, also known as intrinsic timescales, of the neuronal activity. The theory is based on an extension of dynamic mean-field theory from rate networks to spiking networks, which is validated via simulations. It accounts for both static variability, e.g. due to a distributed number of incoming synapses per neuron, and temporal fluctuations of the input. We apply the theory to balanced random networks of generalized linear model neurons, balanced random networks of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons, and a biologically constrained network of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons. For the generalized linear model network with an error function nonlinearity, a novel analytical solution of the colored noise problem allows us to obtain self-consistent firing rate distributions, single-neuron power spectra, and intrinsic timescales. For the leaky integrate-and-fire networks, we derive an approximate analytical solution of the colored noise problem, based on the Stratonovich approximation of the Wiener-Rice series and a novel analytical solution for the free upcrossing statistics. Again closing the system self-consistently, in the fluctuation-driven regime this approximation yields reliable estimates of the mean firing rate and its variance across neurons, the inter-spike interval distribution, the single-neuron power spectra, and intrinsic timescales.

description: In Puerto Rico there is increasing interest in Crotalaria juncea as a cover crop for soil improvement, weed and nematode suppression, and seed production. As more area is sown with Crotalaria juncea, pests have been appearing in relatively large abundance in this plant. Commonly occurring undesirable animals feeding on leaves, pods and seeds of organically grown Crotalaria juncea in Lajas and Isabela, Puerto Rico, include the green iguana {Iguana iguana), beetles (species of Cerotoma and Diabrotica) and the pod borers Utetheisa bella and Utetheisa ornatrix.

description: We discuss how the vector nature of magnetic fields, and the geometrical interpretation of gravity introduced by general relativity, lead to a special coupling between magnetism and spacetime curvature. This magneto-geometrical interaction effectively transfers the tension properties of the field into the spacetime fabric, triggering a variety of effects with potentially far-reaching implications.

description: We present the detection of kinematic infall signatures towards the Class 0 protostellar system SMM4 in the Serpens cloud core. We have observed the dense molecular gas towards the embedded source using millimeter and submillimeter line transitions of density sensitive molecular tracers. High signal-to-noise ratio maps obtained in HCO+ J=1-0, J=3-2, and J=4-3, and CS J=2-1 show the blue-bulge infall signature. The blue-bulge infall signature can be observed in the centroid velocity maps of protostellar objects when infall dominates over rotation. The line profiles of HCO+ and CS exhibit the characteristic blue asymmetric line profile signature consistent with infall. In addition, HCO+ and CS optical depth profiles obtained using isotopic observations show a red asymmetry also consistent with an infall interpretation. Using three-dimensional radiative transfer models based on the rotating, collapse model of Terebey, Shu and Cassen, we derive infall parameters of the source. To determine the direction and orientation of molecular outflows in the larger Serpens cluster, wide-field mapping of CO J=1-0 emission was also performed.

title: Assessing the increasing cost of maritime traffic to migrating humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Moreton Bay, Queensland

subject: ship strike
subject: spatial modelling

description: Highly migratory marine species undertake extensive journeys during which they are frequently exposed to a multitude of anthropogenic threats. Among these threats, the expansion of vessel traffic has been particularly notable in recent decades. Vessel traffic can cause direct physical impacts such as vessel strikes which are a recognised global anthropogenic source of mortality or injury to marine megafauna populations. Baleen whales, like humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), are particularly vulnerable to vessel strike as they are large-bodied, slow moving, and dependent on the sea surface for air. The humpback whale population migrating along Australia's east coast has experienced one of the fastest post-whaling recoveries in the world. In the same timeframe, the Australian coastline has been subject to rapid coastal and port developments, serving to increase the potential for spatial conflict between whales and vessels. However, our understanding and evaluation of this threat is hindered by the lack of seasonal whale distribution data in high marine traffic areas. Therefore, this thesis seeks to evaluate ship-strike risk, primarily according to whale distribution, whale abundance and whale-vessel co-occurrence in a highly urbanized embayment in south-east Queensland, Moreton Bay. This marine embayment forms the entrance to the nation's fastest growing container port and has been identified as a region 'of ship strike concern' in the "National Strategy for Mitigating Vessel Strike of Marine Megafauna" published by Australia's Federal government. As such, the thesis further documents the spatial and temporal overlap between whales and vessels in Moreton Bay. [...]

description: At the beginning of 2010, the international science-based development organization CABI announced the launch of its Plantwise initiative, a major program to create a global plant health information resource and surveillance system, aimed at benefiting scientists, policymakers, and farmers. Central to the Plantwise concept is a 'knowledge bank' delivering a single point of access for all plant pest and disease information. The plan is to bring together all the best information about plant pests and diseases, aggregate it, structure it, update it, and make it searchable so that scientists can recognize complex patterns of information across multiple sites. CABI itself has a number of pieces of the jigsaw already in place, in the form of its existing data and publishing capability, including CAB Abstracts and the Crop Protection Compendium (CPC), together with its network of plant health clinics. The plant health clinics advise farmers in developing countries on pests and diseases in the way a health center does for humans. They are run by local technical people, trained by CABI, who visit rural markets every week. Farmers drop by with samples of diseased plants, to get the problem identified and to learn what to do about it. CABI is actively expanding the number of clinics to 400 in 40 countries by 2015. As well as providing immediate benefits to local farmers, the clinics are becoming a most effective field-based early warning system, helping to monitor plant pests and diseases and indicate where more systematic surveillance programmes are required. The clinics provide regular new disease reports. Indeed, since the first clinic was created in 2002, a total of 47 new diseases have been confirmed. With more than ten times the current number of clinics in operation, we will expect much greater reporting of emerging problems which can then be digitized and laid on a map. Over time, we will be able to track the distribution and incidence of each pest or disease while plant scientists, armed with current and reliable reports, can get a grip on what really is going on and recommend timely mitigation strategies. Through Plantwise, CABI will also be able to present linked references to articles about specific pests, the crops they affect, the damage they cause, and suggested treatment. The current prototype allows users to search by crop, by pest, by country, or even by soil type. The knowledge bank will also contain images for identification of pests, description of their relationship with the plant host, and contact details of local services. Plantwise is a collaborative initiative. As well as donors, CABI is seeking both institutions and individuals to provide shared content and to help review the knowledge bank as it develops.

description: Spiking neural network (SNN) is interesting both theoretically and practically because of its strong bio-inspiration nature and potentially outstanding energy efficiency. Unfortunately, its development has fallen far behind the conventional deep neural network (DNN), mainly because of difficult training and lack of widely accepted hardware experiment platforms. In this paper, we show that a deep temporal-coded SNN can be trained easily and directly over the benchmark datasets CIFAR10 and ImageNet, with testing accuracy within 1% of the DNN of equivalent size and architecture. Training becomes similar to DNN thanks to the closed-form solution to the spiking waveform dynamics. Considering that SNNs should be implemented in practical neuromorphic hardwares, we train the deep SNN with weights quantized to 8, 4, 2 bits and with weights perturbed by random noise to demonstrate its robustness in practical applications. In addition, we develop a phase-domain signal processing circuit schematic to implement our spiking neuron with 90% gain of energy efficiency over existing work. This paper demonstrates that the temporal-coded deep SNN is feasible for applications with high performance and high energy efficient.

description: Forensic DNA testing has become an expected standard in criminal investigations. The field of forensic DNA has rapidly progressed over the last thirty years to where we are today. Forensic DNA testing and analysis is now so sensitive that investigators, the courts, and the public are less interested in whose DNA might be on an item of evidence but rather, how did that DNA get there? Evaluative reporting consists of any type of reporting that provides an unbiased evaluation of the evidence at hand. In forensic DNA, evaluations are typically done through an analysis resulting in a likelihood ratio. Evaluative reporting can be particularly useful when there are questions, or proposed hypotheses on the activity level. Modes of transfer such as direct, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary are often offered as an alternative explanation for the presence of DNA. Evaluative reporting has already been implemented in Europe and sporadically in other international countries but has yet to become a standard practice or routinely used method of reporting. Impediments to larger scale evaluative reporting include a lack of peer-reviewed published research in real-world scenarios that would be applicable to criminal casework, lack of research studies in specific types of criminal casework, hesitancy in the forensic community due to lack of research and limited implementation, and a lack of guidelines and standards outside of Europe. This research sought to document what research already exists that can be used for evaluative reporting, identify gaps in the data, and expand on the existing studies to facilitate adaptation and implementation in countries that have not yet taken advantage of evaluative reporting as a tool in DNA analysis. The studies described in this work specifically expand upon gaps in literature pertaining to items in the home, firearms, and evidence routinely encountered in alleged sexual assault offenses. The data showed clear trends for expected baselines of DNA to be observed for routine handlers, brief handlers, intimate owners, and unknowns across a variety of items and scenarios. This research has advanced the capabilities for the field of evaluative reporting in forensic DNA analysis.

description: In our daily lives, most of the problems are created due to wrong decisions. Similarity measures are very useful to make good decisions. In this manuscript, different similarities like Tangent, Ye, and Cosine similarity of m polar neutrosophic hypersoft sets and their comparison is presented. These techniques are very useful to deal with the problems whose attributes are numerous. In m-polar neutrosophic hypersoft set, attributes are large in number and further classified, that is why making effective and fruitful decision is cumbersome. Decision making become simple, easy and accurate through comparison of different proposed similarities. Finally, the proposed similarity measures applied to diagnose the Covid-19 will be extremely useful to prevent the spread of this virus.
Structure and thermodynamics of associating rods solutions

description: Thermoreversible sol-gel transitions in solutions of rod-like associating polymers are analyzed by computer simulations and by mean field models. The sol-gel transition is determined by the divergence of the cluster weight average. The analytically determined sol-gel transition is in good agreement with the simulation results. At low temperatures we observe a peak in the heat capacity, which maximum is associated with the precipitation transition. The gelation transition is sensitive to the number of associating groups per rod but nearly insensitive to the spatial distribution of associating groups around the rod. The precipitation is strongly dependent on both the number and distribution of associating groups per rod. We find negligible nematic orientational order at the gelation and precipitation transitions.
