description: The present paper studies concentration phenomena of semiclassical approximation of a massive Dirac equation with general nonlinear self-coupling: \[ -i\hbarα\cdot\nabla w+aβw+V(x)w=g(|w|)w \,. \] Compared with some existing issues, the most interesting results obtained here are twofold: the solutions concentrating around local minima of the external potential; and the nonlinearities assumed to be either super-linear or asymptotically linear at the infinity. As a consequence one sees that, if there are $k$ bounded domains $Λ_j\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ such that $-a
A different view on the vector-valued empirical mode decomposition (VEMD)

description: The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) has achieved its reputation by providing a multi-scale time-frequency representation of nonlinear and/or nonstationary signals. To extend this method to vector-valued signals (VvS) in multidimensional (multi-D) space, a multivariate EMD (MEMD) has been designed recently, which employs an ensemble projection to extract local extremum locations (LELs) of the given VvS with respect to different projection directions. This idea successfully overcomes the problems of locally defining extrema of VvS. Different from the MEMD, where vector-valued envelopes (VvEs) are interpolated based on LELs extracted from the 1-D projected signal, the vector-valued EMD (VEMD) proposed in this paper employs a novel back projection method to interpolate the VvEs from 1-D envelopes in the projected space. Considering typical 4-D coordinates (3-D location and time), we show by numerical simulations that the VEMD outperforms state-of-art methods.

Guidance, guidance and guidance

description: This dissertation proposes and examines three research questions on quarterly earnings guidance on its discontinuity and revival. In particular, it examines the impact of corporate governance on a firm’s decision to stop quarterly earnings guidance, the impact of its discontinuity on a firm’s investment decisions, and why a firm restarts providing quarterly earnings guidance. Corporate governance is measured by board independence, institutional ownership, types of institutional ownership and CEOs compensation. A firm’s long term investments are measured by capital and Research and Development (R & D) expenditure. Theories of firm performance and earnings expectation management are used to explain a firm’s decision to restart. Using an industry-year-quarter matched sample of 1610 firms (the STOPPERS and the MAINTAINERS) from 2001 to 2006, this study finds that a firm is more likely to stop quarterly earnings guidance when its board is more independent, institution ownership is lower, the dedicate institution ownership is higher and the level of cash proportion of CEOs compensation is higher. It also finds a firm is more likely to stop when both past and expected future earnings performances are poorer or more difficult to predict or the management is more optimistic or litigation risk is lower.Second, this study finds that the STOPPERS have higher levels of capital expenditure and R & D expenditure in the subsequence years following the stop event (one and two years). The change levels of the STOPPERS are higher than that of the MAINTAINERS. It implies that the quarterly earnings guidance has adverse impact on firm’s long term investments.Third, using an industry-year-quarter matched sample of 342 firms (the RESUMERS and the NONRESUMERS) from 2004 to 2008, it finds that a firm is more likely to restart when its earnings and market return improve, or when the prevailing market expectations are higher to beat/meet. In addition, it finds that the R & D expenditure of the RESUMERS are higher than that of the NONRESUMERS in the three years before the restart event, which implies that the RESUMERS increase R & D and capital expenditure after the stoppage, and improve the firm performance.

Aluminum foil anodes

description: Aluminum foils are an appealing anode for lithium-ion batteries due to their high capacity and low-cost, but their viability has been limited due to poor cyclability arising from pulverization and solid-electrolyte interphase growth. We show in this thesis that significant capacity degradation of aluminum foil anodes during electrochemical cycling also occurs due to diffusional lithium trapping. Scanning electron microscopy of cross-sectioned, cycled foils in the delithiated state reveals large regions of β-LiAl that are passivated by a surface layer of ⍺-Al, which has poor Li⁺ diffusivity. It is found that lithium diffusion occurs preferentially along the β-LiAl grain boundaries, so the grain structure after initial lithiation significantly affects the trapping behavior. Diffusional lithium trapping is exacerbated by both higher delithiation rates and higher areal capacity, presenting a challenge towards commercialization of aluminum foil anodes. We further demonstrate that diffusional trapping in aluminum foil anodes can be mitigated through alloy design, with the addition of 2 - 3 wt.% Li yielding improved first cycle efficiency, and the addition of 1 wt.% Si yielding improved cycle life. These results provide a mechanistic understanding of diffusional lithium trapping in aluminum foil anodes and highlight compositional design of alloys as a promising strategy to overcome it.
VERY RARE SP. OF ODONATES (DRAGONFLIES AND DAMSELFLIES) AT SALIM ALI LAKE (AURANGABAD CITY)

description: Abstract:  Odonates can be utilized as biological markers of environmental quality and play a critical part in ecosystem functioning. Even though a lot of research has been done on the prevalence and distribution of different insect orders in Aurangabad, little has been done to understand the variety and spread of odonates. Therefore, an effort has been made in the current study to examine the variety and richness of odonates in Salim Ali Lake, Aurangabad, India. Between July, August, and September 2022, a total of 5 species of odonates were discovered in the research region. With two species, the family Cornagrionidae dominated the Zygoptera (damselflies), followed by the Libellulidae and Aeshnidae families (1 sp.). The one species of dragonfly (Anisoptera) that has been observed is a member of the family Cordulegastridae. It can be assumed that the region has an unusual diversity given that it is home to 5 species of odonates, including 3 species of Anisoptera and 2 species of Zygoptera. This uncommon diversity may be due to the area's grasslands, shrubs, and tiny water bodies.

description: What is love? No one theory can explain it. I offer a unified model in order to better integrate the contributions from such areas as evolutionary psychology, psychoanalysis and social psychology. I use a heuristic pyramid with five levels. Starting at the base, they are Species Traits, Individual Traits, Relational Internalizations, Beliefs and finally Current Context. The conceptual linkages between these levels or constructs are the degree of biology verses degree of psychology and its place in time. As you move up the pyramid, you are moving from our species biological history to the current psychological context. Each level puts a dynamic influence on the others. This unified model allows for an integration of research, treatment and hopefully a better conceptualization of love relations.

description: Subduction initiation induced by a hot and buoyant mantle plume head is unique among proposed subduction initiation mechanisms because it does not require pre-existing weak zones or other forces for lithospheric collapse. Since recognition of the first evidence of subduction nucleation induced by a mantle plume in the Late Cretaceous Caribbean realm, the number of studies focusing on other natural examples has grown. Here, we review numerical and physical modeling and geological-geochemical studies which have been carried out thus far to investigate onset of a new subduction zone caused by impingement of a mantle plume head. As geological-geochemical data suggests that plume-lithosphere interactions have long been important - spanning from the Archean to the present - modeling studies provide valuable information on the spatial and temporal variations in lithospheric deformation induced by these interactions. Numerical and physical modeling studies, ranging from regional to global scales, illustrate the key role of plume buoyancy, lithospheric strength and magmatic weakening above the plume head on plume-lithosphere interactions. Lithospheric/crustal heterogeneities, pre-existing lithospheric weak zones and external compressional/extensional forces may also change the deformation regime caused by plume-lithosphere interaction.

description: Intensive quest for the eta and eta' bound states is currently ongoing at both theoretical and experimental levels e.g. at COSY, ELSA, GSI, JINR, JPARC, LPI, and MAMI. These studies were already supported by data provided by the COSY-11 collaboration including determination of the total width of the eta' meson. In addition, the first rough estimation of the eta'-N interaction from the excitation function of the cross section for the pp-->pp eta' reaction was also performed. Recent precise measurement in this field from the COSY-11 experiment allows to summarize results on the eta' meson production cross section in proton-proton collisions at COSY-11.

description: One-phonon states of vibrational nuclei with mixed proton–neutron symmetry have been observed throughout the nuclear chart besides the mass A≈200 region. Very recently, it has been proposed that the 22 + state of 212Po is of isovector nature. This nucleus has two valence protons and two valence neutrons outside the doubly-magic 208Pb nucleus. The stable isotope 204Hg, featuring two valence-proton and valence-neutron holes, with respect to 208Pb, is the particle-hole mirror of 212Po. In order to compare the properties of low-lying isovector excitations in these particle-hole mirror nuclei, we have studied 204Hg by using the projectile Coulomb-excitation technique. The measured absolute B(M1;22 +→21 +) strength of 0.20(2)μN 2 indicates that the 22 + level of 204Hg is at least the main fragment of the 21,ms + state. For the first time in this mass region, both lowest-lying, one-quadrupole phonon excitations are established together with the complete set of their decay strengths. This allows for a microscopic description of their structures, achieved in the framework of the Quasi-particle Phonon Model.

description: The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges and gains expected in gravitational-wave searches at frequencies above the LIGO/Virgo band, with a particular focus on Ultra High-Frequency Gravitational Waves (UHF-GWs), covering the MHz to GHz range. The absence of known astrophysical sources in this frequency range provides a unique opportunity to discover physics beyond the Standard Model operating both in the early and late Universe, and we highlight some of the most promising gravitational sources. We review several detector concepts that have been proposed to take up this challenge, and compare their expected sensitivity with the signal strength predicted in various models. This report is the summary of the workshop “Challenges and opportunities of high-frequency gravitational wave detection” held at ICTP Trieste, Italy in October 2019, that set up the stage for the recently launched Ultra-High-Frequency Gravitational Wave (UHF-GW) initiative.

description: How do experts compare teaching, supervision and treatment from a psychodynamic perceptive over the Internet with in-person work? Our methodology was based on the expert opinions of 176 teachers, supervisors and therapists in the China American Psychoanalytic Alliance (CAPA) who use video-conferencing (VCON) with Chinese students. The results from our on-line survey indicate: 1.The longer teachers teach, the more effective they rate teaching over VCON; 2. Teaching, supervision and treatment were all rated in the range of “slightly less effective" than in-person, with supervision rated significantly more effective than teaching and treatment over VCON; 3. When doing psychodynamic treatment over VCON the issues of symptom reduction, exploring mental life, working on transference, relational problems, resistance, privacy issues, countertransference, are all equally rated in the range of "slightly less effective" than inperson treatment; 4. The highest significantly rated indications for treatment over VCON are: "To offer high quality treatment to underserved or remote patients" and "When patient is house-bound or travel would be impractical;" and 5. The highest significantly rated contraindication for treatment over VCON is: "Patient needs close observation due to crisis or decompensation." Overall, this survey suggests that VCON teaching, supervision and treatment from a psychodynamic perceptive is a worthwhile option when considering its unique contribution to extending services where needed.

description: An experiment populating low/medium-spin states in Dy156 was performed to investigate the possibility of tetrahedral symmetry in this nucleus. In particular, focus was placed on the low-spin, negative-parity states since recent theoretical studies suggest that these may be good candidates for this high-rank symmetry. The states were produced in the Nd148(C12,4n) reaction and the Gammasphere array was utilized to detect the emitted γ rays. B(E2)/B(E1) ratios of transition probabilities from the low-spin, negative-parity bands were determined and used to interpret whether these structures are best associated with tetrahedral symmetry or, as previously assigned, to octupole vibrations. In addition, several other negative-parity structures were observed to higher spin and two new sequences were established.

description: Studying the violation of parity and time-reversal invariance in atomic systems has proven to be a very effective means for testing the electroweak theory at low energy and searching for physics beyond it. Recent developments in both atomic theory and experimental methods have led to the ability to make extremely precise theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of these effects. Such studies are complementary to direct high-energy searches, and can be performed for just a fraction of the cost. We review the recent progress in the field of parity and time-reversal violation in atoms, molecules, and nuclei, and examine the implications for physics beyond the Standard Model, with an emphasis on possible areas for development in the near future.

description: This collection of seven short stories explores the experience and expression of love. Love as myth is thematic to some of the stories, as is love as misery. The characters in the stories lose love or misuse it, or they confuse it with other human impulses. The stories dance around the cliche of love and examine it from the perspective of the individual, family, community, and church. Love is the conflict as well as the resolution, and the characters evolve as their understanding of love becomes more or less clear.

description: Abstract
This study investigates the association between the established deployment of the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, and financial risk disclosures among Saudi nonfinancial enterprises. As a result, the International Financial Reporting Standards, more commonly known as have increased in importance. Saudi authorities are required to increase the country's level of IFRS adoption after joining the Organization of 20 Financial Ministers and Heads of Central Banking Authorities (G-20) three years ago. The example contains 98 non-monetary recorded firms in Saudi Arabia from 2014 to 2019, crossing the years when the conventional execution of IFRS. Using basic and improved price models, the authors evaluate the economic relevance of chosen accounting data. When we divide business risk disclosures into both financial and non-monetary risk disclosures, the link remains. Both the pooled OLS (and ordinary least squares) and random effects calculations provide consistent findings. The conclusions of this study are important for market authorities in their efforts to increase financial risk disclosure among Saudi listed corporations.

India in recently initiated zero tolerance on Child begging, which is really a big task for government authorities to implement in Indian societies. We Indian are strongly bounded with our religious sentiment which promotes charity and welfare within the society. In which charity is easy methods to get rid of our sin. Indian society to avoid problems they believes in cash charity in temple, masque, Gurudwara, Churches or give to the beggar. Because of our generosity beggars’ numbers is increasing. But we forget this thing that, beggar not only a curse for Indian society but also for India. Involvement of children in the begging industry violates the rights of children. These gangs knows that children are unable to stands for their rights and society as well as government authorities are also want to avoid this issue. Mafia involvement in begging industry has increased in recent years as lack of uniformity in laws also it differ from state to state. Though, they easily target children for begging business. Child beggary is one of the heinous crimes as it includes; drugged, beaten, kidnapping, abduction, trafficking, chopping of organ and many more other criminal activity. Child begging in recent year increased at mountain level, around three lakh children are forced to beg in India and the ratio is increasing every year.

description: Countertransference (CT) awareness is widely considered valuable for differential diagnosis and the proactive management of ethical dilemmas. We predicted that the more practitioners’ theoretical orientation (TO) emphasizes insight into the dynamics of subjective mental life, the better they will be at using their CT expectations in differential diagnosis with high-risk patients. To test this hypothesis, we compared psychodynamic therapy (PDT) practitioners who emphasize insight into subjective mental life with practitioners who do not emphasize this epistemology. Results indicated that PDT practitioners expected significantly more CT than practitioners of cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) and other practitioners (e.g., family systems, humanistic/existential and eclectic) to patients with borderline personality organization overall. PDT practitioners had significantly more CT expectations to patients with borderline-level pathologies as compared with neurotic-level patients than both CBT and other practitioners. PDT practitioners were significantly more expectant of CT issues than CBT practitioners with respect to the personality disorders most associated with acting out and risk management problems (e.g., paranoid, psychopathic, narcissistic, sadistic, sadomasochistic, masochistic, hypomanic, passive–aggressive, counterdependent and counterphobic). The other practitioners generally had CT expectations between PDT and CBT. These findings suggest that clinical training into CT may be useful in differential diagnoses and in helping to avoid ethical dilemmas regardless of one’s theoretical preference.

description: The Reeb graph is a construction that studies a topological space through the lens of a real valued function. It has widely been used in applications, however its use on real data means that it is desirable and increasingly necessary to have methods for comparison of Reeb graphs. Recently, several methods to define metrics on the space of Reeb graphs have been presented. In this paper, we focus on two: the functional distortion distance and the interleaving distance. The former is based on the Gromov--Hausdorff distance, while the latter utilizes the equivalence between Reeb graphs and a particular class of cosheaves. However, both are defined by constructing a near-isomorphism between the two graphs of study. In this paper, we show that the two metrics are strongly equivalent on the space of Reeb graphs. In particular, this gives an immediate proof of bottleneck stability for persistence diagrams in terms of the Reeb graph interleaving distance.

description: Excited states in Re186 with spins up to J=12 were investigated in two separate experiments using W186(d,2n) reactions at beam energies of 12.5 and 14.5 MeV. Two- and threefold γ-ray coincidence data were collected using the CAESAR and CAGRA spectrometers, respectively, each composed of Compton-suppressed high-purity germanium detectors. Analysis of the data revealed rotational bands built on several two-quasiparticle intrinsic states, including a long-lived Kπ=(8+) isomer. Configuration assignments were supported by an analysis of in-band properties, such as gK-gR values. The excitation energies of the observed intrinsic states were compared with results from multi-quasiparticle blocking calculations, based on the Lipkin-Nogami pairing approach, that included contributions from the residual proton-neutron interactions.

Other therapeutic activities such as anticancer and antimicrobial effects have been found for this metabolite. Several side effects such as blurred vision, dryness of the mouth, dry eyes, confusion, photophobia, dizziness, tachycardia, fatigue, flushing, palpitations, urinary hesitance or retention, headache, constipation, nausea, and vomiting have been identified for this bioactive compound. Therefore, reduction of these side effects is critical to obtain effective therapeutic activities of atropine in physiological conditions. Application of micro and nano formulations and combination therapy may be desirable strategies. This mini-review has attempted to discuss both advantages and disadvantages of these novel strategies based on recent advances.

description: We study the third order in time linear dissipative wave equation known as the Standard Linear Viscoelastic Model, that appears also as the linearization of the so-called Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation in Nonlinear Acoustics. We complete the description in a paper by R. Marchand et al. (2012) of the spectrum of the generator of the corresponding group of operators and show that, apart from some exceptional values of the parameters, this generator can be made to be a normal operator with a new scalar product, with a complete set of orthogonal eigenfunctions. Using this property we also obtain sharper decay estimates for the solutions as time tends to infinity, both when the operator is normal or not.

Transgovernmental networks as a tool to combat terrorism
Creators: name: Cozine, Keith
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Globalization has led to a shift in the perceived threat to security from states to transborder issues such as financial collapse, global warming, pandemics and threats from a variety of non-state actors. As a result of the terrorist attacks on New York, Bali, Madrid, London and Mumbai; international terrorism has become one of the most highly visible of these new threats. One mechanism of global governance employed to combat this threat is the use of transgovernmental networks comprised of government officials from various nations, forming both formal and informal global networks that reach out to their foreign counterparts. These networks are the foundation of a strategy of confronting "networks of terror with networks against terror." This research seeks to understand how these networks operate to achieve their mission. The literature relating to transgovernmental networks and transnational advocacy networks (TANs) suggests that these two network types share numerous characteristics. These similarities led to the development of the hypothesis that transgovernmental networks operate to accomplish their missions in much the same way as TANs operate. To test this hypothesis, a single case study design was utilized to examine how one agency, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), utilizes its officers assigned to foreign jurisdictions as part of a transgovernmental network to combat terrorist travel. The research revealed that these officers are not only part of a transgovernmental network that operates to prevent terrorist travel, as well as other transnational crimes, in much the same way as TANs, but also mirrors the structure of the terrorist networks they are charged with combating. Furthermore, a foundation has been laid for continued investigative research of transgovernmental networks; while providing a potential blue print for a strategy of combating threats to global security with networks of government officials that are as fluid and effective as the groups that are posing these threats.

description: In this review, the phenomenon of grain boundary (GB) wetting by melt is analyzed for multicomponent alloys without principal components (also called high‐entropy alloys or HEAs) containing titanium. GB wetting can be complete or partial. In the former case, the liquid phase forms the continuous layers between solid grains and completely separates them. In the latter case of partial GB wetting, the melt forms the chain of droplets in GBs, with certain non‐zero contact angles. The GB wetting phenomenon can be observed in HEAs produced by all solidification‐based technologies. GB leads to the appearance of novel GB tie lines Twmin and Twmax in the multicomponent HEA phase diagrams. The so‐called grain‐boundary engineering of HEAs permits the use of GB wetting to improve the HEAs’ properties or, alternatively, its exclusion if the GB layers of a second phase are detrimental.

description: Red and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) had been produced for several decades before blue emitting diodes, suitable for lighting applications, were widely available. Today, we have the possibility of combining the three fundamental colours to have a bright white light. And therefore, a new form of lighting, the solid-state lighting, has now become a reality. Here we discuss LEDs and some of their applications in displays and lamps.

description: Rare-earth-barium-copper-oxide (REBCO) tapes are now available from several industrial manufacturers and are very promising conductors in high field applications. Due to diverging materials and deposition processes, these manufacturers' tapes can be expected to differ in their electro-mechanical and mechanical properties. For magnets designers, these are together with the conductors' in-field critical current performance of the highest importance in choosing a suitable conductor. In this work, the strain and stress dependence of the current carrying capabilities as well as the stress and strain correlation are investigated for commercial coated conductors from Bruker HTS, Fujikura, SuNAM, SuperOx and SuperPower at 77 K, self-field and 4.2 K, 19 T.

description: Currently, a serious threat for living organisms and human life in particular, is water contamination with persistent organic and inorganic pollutants. To date, several techniques have been adopted to remove/treat organics and toxic contaminants. Adsorption is one of the most effective and economical methods for this purpose. Generally, porous materials are considered as appropri-ate adsorbents for water purification. Conventional adsorbents such as activated carbons have a limited possibility of surface modification (texture and functionality), and their adsorption capacity is difficult to control. Therefore, despite the significant progress achieved in the development of the systems for water remediation, there is still a need for novel adsorptive materials with tunable functional characteristics. This review addresses the new trends in the development of new adsorbent materials. Herein, modern carbon-based materials, such as graphene, oxidized carbon, carbon nano-tubes, biomass-derived carbonaceous matrices—biochars as well as their composites with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF-derived highly-ordered carbons are considered as advanced adsorbents for removal of hazardous organics from drinking water, process water, and leachate. The review is focused on the preparation and modification of these next-generation carbon-based adsorbents and analysis of their adsorption performance including possible adsorption mecha-nisms. Simultaneously, some weak points of modern carbon-based adsorbents are analyzed as well as the routes to conquer them. For instance, for removal of large quantities of pollutants, the combination of adsorption and other methods, like sedimentation may be recommended. A number of efficient strategies for further enhancing the adsorption performance of the carbon-based adsor-bents, in particular, integrating approaches and further rational functionalization, including com-posing these adsorbents (of two or even three types) can be recommended. The cost reduction and efficient regeneration must also be in the focus of future research endeavors. The targeted optimization of the discussed carbon-based adsorbents associated with detailed studies of the adsorption process, especially, for multicomponent adsorbate solution, will pave a bright avenue for efficient water remediation.

description: The Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM; Alliance of Psychoanalytic Organizations [APO], 2006) was developed to add a contrasting, person-centered perspective to the conceptualization and diagnosis of psychological dysfunction in traditional diagnostic systems (i.e., the International Classification of Diseases, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). In addition to considering symptom patterns (Axis S), the PDM—and its recently updated version, PDM-2 (Lingiardi & McWilliams, 2017)—enables clinicians to describe overall level of personality organization, specific personality patterns and syndromes (Axis P), and the patient’s mental functioning in a broad array of domains, including strengths and vulnerabilities (Axis M). This article discusses scale development, structure, format, scoring, and interpretation of the Psychodiagnostic Chart (PDC; Gordon & Bornstein, 2012, 2015), an instrument for coding PDM/PDM-2 data. We evaluate the psychometric soundness of the PDC with respect to internal consistency, interrater and retest reliability, and relations to external criteria. Following a review of evidence bearing on the construct validity of the PDC and clinical utility of constructs assessed by the measure, we discuss the instrument’s strengths and limitations, and offer suggestions for continued work in this area.
