description: We numerically study the relaxation dynamics of the single layer perceptron with the spherical constraint. This is the simplest model of neural networks and serves a prototypical mean-field model of both convex and non-convex optimization problems. The relaxation time of the gradient descent algorithm rapidly increases near the SAT-UNSAT transition point. We numerically confirm that the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Hessian controls the relaxation time. This first eigenvalue vanishes much faster upon approaching the SAT-UNSAT transition point than the prediction of Marchenko-Pastur law in random matrix theory derived under the assumption that the set of unsatisfied constraints are uncorrelated. This leads to a non-trivial critical exponent of the relaxation time in the SAT phase. Using a simple scaling analysis, we show that the isolation of this first eigenvalue from the bulk of spectrum is attributed to the force balance at the SAT-UNSAT transition point. Finally, we show that the estimated critical exponent of the relaxation time in the non-convex region agrees very well with that of frictionless spherical particles, which have been studied in the context of the jamming transition of granular materials.

description: A possibility to prove spin and CP-eigenvalue of a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson is presented. We exploit angular correlations in the subsequent decay H -> ZZ -> 4l (muons or electrons) for Higgs masses above 200 GeV. We compare the angular distributions of the leptons originating from the SM Higgs with those resulting from decays of hypothetical particles with differing quantum numbers. We restrict our analysis to the use of the Atlas-detector which is one of two multi-purpose detectors at the upcoming 14 TeV proton-proton-collider (LHC) at CERN. By applying a fast simulation of the Atlas detector it can be shown that these correlations will be measured sufficiently well that consistency with the spin-CP hypothesis 0+ of the Standard Model can be verified and the 0- and 1+- can be ruled out with an integrated luminosity of 100 fb^-1.

description: This work focuses on studying players behaviour in interactive narratives with the aim to simulate their choices. Besides sub-optimal player behaviour due to limited knowledge about the environment, the difference in each player's style and preferences represents a challenge when trying to make an intelligent system mimic their actions. Based on observations from players interactions with an extract from the interactive fiction Anchorhead, we created a player profile to guide the behaviour of a generic player model based on the BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) model of agency. We evaluated our approach using qualitative and quantitative methods and found that the player profile can improve the performance of the BDI player model. However, we found that players self-assessment did not yield accurate data to populate their player profile under our current approach.

Taking a Reflexive Turn: Non-Adversarial Justice and Mental Health Review Tribunals

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Mental health law and practice has been instrumental in the development of non-adversarial justice, particularly through the development of therapeutic jurisprudence which emerged from insights gathered in the mental health context. The expanding articulation of non-adversarial perspectives beyond mental health is, in turn, reshaping critical debate about current mental health tribunal practice. Tribunals are also being encouraged to consider human rights perspectives. Human rights concerns and non-adversarial perspectives intersect with the longstanding debates in mental health tribunal practice about participation, representation and the role of the tribunal in the management of a dispute. They also raise new questions about the scope of the tribunal powers with respect to the oversight of medical treatment decisions and the provision of medical services. This article considers the intersection of human rights and non-adversarial justice perspectives in mental health review tribunals. It examines the common conceptual ground occupied by human rights and non-adversarial justice and considers four ‘psycho-legal soft spots’ in tribunal practice. These are the timing of tribunal review, the participation of the person in tribunal hearings, legal representation before tribunals and the scope of tribunal powers. This article argues for an integration of non-adversarial justice and human rights perspectives.

description: This report summarizes the 2015 results of the North Dakota Land Valuation Model. The model is used annually to estimate average land values by county, based on the value of production from cropland and non-cropland. The county land values developed from this procedure form the basis for the 2015 valuation of agricultural land for real estate tax assessment. The average value for all agricultural land in a county from this analysis is multiplied by the total acres of agricultural land on the county abstract to determine each county’s total agricultural land value for taxation purposes. The State Board of Equalization compares this value with the total value assessed to agricultural property in each county. The average value per acre of all agricultural land in North Dakota increased by 7.22 percent from 2014 to 2015 based on the value of production. Cropland value increased 7.69 percent, and non-cropland value increased by 4.1 percent. The formula capitalization rate was 4.95 percent. The legislation setting a minimum capitalization rate expired after the 2011 tax year. The increase in the values for cropland and all agricultural land was primarily due to increased value of crop production. The value of production for most counties has been considerably higher since 2007 than prior years. This increase in value of production is a combination of increased yields, higher prices and a change in cropping mix. The capitalization rate change increased land valuations by 4.85 percent in all counties; while the cost of production index decreased land values in all counties by 6.17 percent. The value of production increased cropland valuation between 4.48 percent up to 16.33 percent across individual counties. Non-cropland values increased by 4.1 percent, all due to an increase in the price received for calves and cull cows. Changes in market value are included for comparison. Market value data are from the annual County Rents and Values survey conducted by North Dakota Agricultural Statistics Service.
A Comprehensive Analysis of Weakly-Supervised Semantic Segmentation in Different Image Domains

description: Recently proposed methods for weakly-supervised semantic segmentation have achieved impressive performance in predicting pixel classes despite being trained with only image labels which lack positional information. Because image annotations are cheaper and quicker to generate, weak supervision is more practical than full supervision for training segmentation algorithms. These methods have been predominantly developed to solve the background separation and partial segmentation problems presented by natural scene images and it is unclear whether they can be simply transferred to other domains with different characteristics, such as histopathology and satellite images, and still perform well. This paper evaluates state-of-the-art weakly-supervised semantic segmentation methods on natural scene, histopathology, and satellite image datasets and analyzes how to determine which method is most suitable for a given dataset. Our experiments indicate that histopathology and satellite images present a different set of problems for weakly-supervised semantic segmentation than natural scene images, such as ambiguous boundaries and class co-occurrence. Methods perform well for datasets they were developed on, but tend to perform poorly on other datasets. We present some practical techniques for these methods on unseen datasets and argue that more work is needed for a generalizable approach to weakly-supervised semantic segmentation.

An axiomatic purification of gravity

description: A theory of gravity is deduced from the axioms of the premetric program. The starting point is the conservation of energy and momenta, and the equivalence of gravitation and inertia. The latter is what leads to the framework of the so called purified gravity. The local and linear constitutive relation has 14 components when it is assumed to be metrical, but the compatibility of the constitutive relation with an action principle fixes uniquely the theory of Coincident General Relativity. The premetric formalism of purified gravity has a direct analogy with massive electromagnetism, the Planck mass corresponding to the Proca mass of the gauge boson. The metric emerges as a Stueckelberg field, and the graviton as a Goldstone boson of the broken symmetry.

description: This report evaluates the United States and world corn and soybean markets for the 2014-2024 period using the Global Corn and Soybean Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, weather conditions, and technological change. Corn-based ethanol production has influenced the United States corn industry. However, since 2010 U.S. ethanol production has remained near the 14 billion gallon level. Changes in Federal fuel mandates could significantly impact the world corn market. Under the current assumptions in the model, corn price is expected to slowly increase to $4.20 per bushel. Chinese soybean imports are the leading factor influencing the world soybean market. China currently imports 65% of the soybeans traded in the world market, and that is expected to increase by another 37% by 2024. Major exporters will continue to be the U.S., Brazil and Argentina. However, Brazil and Argentina are expected to increase exports while U.S. exports will remain at the current level. Soybean prices are expected to slowly increase to $9.79/bushel over the time period.
ADR, Public Interest Law and Access to Justice: The Need for Vigilance

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The increased use of non-adversarial or alternative dispute resolution (‘ADR’) processes, including mediation, creates tension for public interest lawyers. Certain groups in society suffer more than others from inequality before the law. The challenge for public interest lawyers is to ensure that the increased reliance on ADR by governments does not perpetuate or exacerbate existing inequalities before the law. Through an examination of Victorian research on mediation in consumer credit issues, this article highlights aspects of expanding ADR processes that warrant vigilant attention if those concerned with access to justice, both proponents of alternative dispute resolution and public interest lawyers, wish to further their objectives. It concludes by calling for ongoing evaluation and review of new processes. Most importantly, in recognition of the complex and paradoxical nature of access to justice developments, these evaluations must be rigorous and contextualised

description: Despite the growing need for fine-scale resolution land allocation data on a large scale, land allocation data is typically available only at an aggregate level. We take a unique perspective by building a probability model designed to predict land use patterns at a fine-scale resolution, based on biophysical land characteristics observable on a fine-scale as well as maintaining shares of land allocation within a region that are observable only at an aggregate level. A sampling strategy is developed to reduce the computational burden brought on by the dimensionality of the combinatorics involved in evaluating our likelihood model. Empirical results from an application of our model to predicting maize throughout North, Central and South America show that common biophysical factors are sufficient for predicting maize production at a fine-scale. This method is generally applicable to other cases in which only aggregated level data is available but fine-scale data is desired.

description: In 2009, corn farmers planting rootworm resistant (Bt-CRW) seeds experienced unexpectedly severe yield losses throughout the U.S. Corn Belt. By 2011, resistance had been reported in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota. In 2012, a group of twenty-two entomologists suggested that the EPA take urgent, immediate action (Porter et. al, 2012). Though the EPA held a scientific advisory panel meeting to discuss rootworm resistance in 2013, the agency did not find strong evidence of resistance. As of 2015, the agency has not taken remedial regulatory action. This study assesses the evidence that rootworms are adapting to Bt toxins. First, a novel, two-stage, damage abatement model is used to derive a non-linear, soil insecticide demand function. This demand function is estimated using repeated cross sections of data from the USDA’s Agricultural Resource Management Survey. Finally, the model’s results are used to determine whether the effectiveness of Bt-CRW seeds decreased over the course of the study period. If rootworms developed resistance, then the effectiveness of the seeds should be lowest on fields where selective pressure is the highest (i.e. on fields where Bt-CRW seeds have been planted in continuous rotations).

description: Reports the results of a survey of wholesalers and retailers of giant clam shells in Southeast Queensland undertaken in August 1989. The most common variety of clam shell was that of Hippopus hippopus (the horseshoe clam) with that of Tridacna squamosa (the fingernail clam) being the second most frequent. Shells of Tridacna porcellanus (the china clam) and of Tridacna gigas were also available but in extremely short supply. Only shells of these species appear to be in real demand. Shells of other species have unsatisfactory characteristics but shells of the species in demand are not perfect substitutes - the market is segmented. Information is presented on prices and quantities of clam shells sold. Currently, there seems to be an Australian market for about 100,000 to 120,000 clam shells per year. Practically all clam shells were imported from the Philippines but supplies are becoming scarce as CITES takes effect and natura1 stocks become exhausted. This is reflected in the unavailability of larger shells and the sale of shells of lower quality than in the past. Tourists possibly account for 60 - 70 per cent of sales of clam shells but only a small percentage (10%?) of sales are to overseas tourists because of weight problems. A reasonably high proportion of clam shells appear to be purchased by restaurants and directly by householders. Practically all shell outlets expressed interest in obtaining clam shells from farms and provided information on the type of shells which they would like to see produced. Most thought that there would be a ‘good’ market for clam shells obtained by mariculture.

description: Seafarming is a growing economic activity in Indonesian coastal areas. The level of investment required for this activity is lower than in the capture fisheries and in the agricultural industry. However, in considering the development of seafarming activities one not only needs to take into account direct economic benefits, but also social and environmental spillovers with a view to approaching a more sustainable degree of economic development. After outlining the economic significance, development and adverse environmental effects of seafarming activities in Indonesia, this paper examines the economics and socio-economic benefits of seafarming taking seaweed culture as a case. It is estimated that the potential economic return from seaweed farming appears to be high in Indonesia as can be best judged from the internal rate of return figure which is estimated to be 47 per cent. The paper also considers the socio-economic prospects for giant clam farming in Indonesia. It reviews the current status and utilisation of giant clams, examines the environmental advantageous of clam farming and considers the market and possible socio­economic benefits of clam culture.

description: The regulation of gene expression is a key factor in the development and maintenance of life in all organisms. Even so, little is known at whole genome scale for most genes and contexts. We propose a method, Tool for Weighted Epigenomic Networks in Drosophila melanogaster (Fly T-WEoN), to generate context-specific Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) starting from a reference network that contains all known gene regulations in the fly. Unlikely Regulations are removed by applying a series of knowledge-based filters. Each of these filters is implemented as an independent module that considers a type of experimental evidence, including DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, histone modifications and gene expression. Fly T-WEoN is based on heuristic rules that reflect current knowledge on gene regulation in D. melanogaster obtained from the literature. Experimental data files can be generated with several standard procedures and used solely when and if available. Fly T-WEoN is available as a Cytoscape application that permits integration with other tools and facilitates downstream network analysis. In this work, we first demonstrate the reliability of our method to then provide a relevant application case of our tool: early development of D. melanogaster. Fly T-WEoN, together with its step-by-step guide is available at https://weon.readthedocs.io

description: We show how a large family of interacting nonequilibrium phases of matter can arise from the presence of multiple time-translation symmetries, which occur by quasiperiodically driving an isolated quantum many-body system with two or more incommensurate frequencies. These phases are fundamentally different from those realizable in time-independent or periodically-driven (Floquet) settings. Focusing on high-frequency drives with smooth time-dependence, we rigorously establish general conditions for which these phases are stable in a parametrically long-lived `preheating' regime. We develop a formalism to analyze the effect of the multiple time-translation symmetries on the dynamics of the system, which we use to classify and construct explicit examples of the emergent phases. In particular, we discuss time quasi-crystals which spontaneously break the time-translation symmetries, as well as time-translation symmetry protected topological phases.

Eccopsis trixiphias

description: Eccopsis trixiphias (Meyrick, 1939) (Figs 29, 74, 103)
 Argyroploce trixiphias Meyrick, 1939.Transactions of the Royal entomological Society of London 89(4): 51. Diakonoff 1981. Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.) 17(1): 16. Brown 2005. World Catalogue of Insects 5: 269.
 Lectotype female. Designated by Diakonoff (1981: 16). Label data (7): "Type, A. trixiphias "; "Musée du Congo, Eala, ix.1936, J. Ghesquière; 3093"; " Eccopsis incultana (Walk.), 1960, det. A. Diakonoff "; " R. Dét., NN, 3377"; "M5531"; "Gen. No:, 3602"; "3602"; [genitalia mounted on small glass under specimen]; specimen ID: RMCA ENT 000004982.
 Paralectotype male. Label data (4): "Type, A. trixiphias "; "Musée du Congo, Eala, ix.1936, J. Ghesquière; 3093"; " R. Dét., NN, 3377"; "M5532"; " MRAC / KMMA 00500 "; specimen ID: RMCA ENT 000004983 (Fig. 29).
Male genitalia (Fig. 74). Uncus broad, cleft; socius long, apically rounded; basal process of valva developed, terminally broad, cucullus large, basally very broad, narrow at apex, lower edge with row of spines; aedeagus slender, curved, dorsally sclerotized and with apical dent.
Female genitalia (Fig. 103). Sterigma in form of a plate followed by pair of lateroposterior arms; antrum long, tubular, heavily sclerotized; signum with a terminally bifid blade.
 Remarks. Described from 3 specimens, of which 1 male and 1 female are present in the collection of RMCA. Agroploce trixiphias Meyrick, 1939 is a junior subjective synonym of Eccopsis incultana Walker, 1863, synonymized by Diakonoff (1981: 16). The third specimen was supposed to be in BMNH, however, it was not found there (K. Tuck, pers. comm.).
Brown (2005: 269) states that the holotype is in RMCA. Meyrick deposited one male and one female specimen in the collection of RMCA. In his paper (1939: 51), he indicated "Type in Congo Museum, Tervueren, Belgium " but he labelled both specimens as type. Diakonoff (1981: 16), acting as first revisor, selected the female as the holotype (recte lectotype).

description: We present a calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to the loop-induced production of a photon pair through gluon fusion, including massive top quarks at two loops, where the two-loop integrals are calculated numerically. Matching the fixed-order NLO results to a threshold expansion, we obtain accurate results around the top quark pair production threshold. We analyse how the top quark threshold corrections affect distributions of the photon pair invariant mass and comment on the possibility of determining the top quark mass from precision measurements of the diphoton invariant mass spectrum.

description: The present unitarity triangle fit, whose essential input is represented by the s to d and b to d transition processes, fully agrees with the SM. However, most of the phenomena involving b to s transitions are still largely unexplored and hence b to s phenomenology still constitutes a place for new physics manifestations, in spite of the tremendous experimental and theoretical progress on B to X_s gamma. We perform a systematic study of the CP conserving and violating SUSY contributions to b to s processes in a generic MSSM. We consider gluino exchange contributions including NLO QCD corrections and lattice hadronic matrix elements for Delta B = 2 and Delta B = 1 processes. We take into account all available experimental information on processes involving b to s transitions (B to X_s gamma, B to X_s l^+ l^- and the lower bound on the B_s - bar B_s mass difference Delta M_s). We study the correlations among the relevant observables under scrutiny at present or in a not too far future: Delta M_s and the amount of CP violation in B to phi K_s, B_s to J/psi phi, B to X_s gamma. In particular we discuss the recent data by BaBar and BELLE on the time-dependent CP asymmetry in the decay B to phi K_s which suggest a deviation from the SM expectation. Our results show that the processes involving b to s transitions represent a splendid opportunity to constrain different MSSM realizations, and, even more important, that they offer concrete prospects to exhibit SUSY signals at B factories and hadron colliders in spite of all the past frustration in FCNC searches of new physics hints.

description: This paper compares the CO2 emissions from the use of personal vehicles to shared-use vehicles for grocery shopping in Seattle, Washington. The research builds on existing literature by considering the importance of modeling the logistical details of routing and scheduling, and by comparing the results of an American case study to existing European case studies. We find the US and European case studies to provide consistent results, that low customer density provides greater opportunities for emissions reductions, and that logistical efficiencies can account for approximately 50% of CO2 reductions.

description: Мотивно-тематический комплекс как составляющая поэтики прозы младшего поколения русских писателей первой волны эмиграции в современном литературоведении остаётся актуальной научной темой в силу незавершённости исследования. В статье рассматривается мотив жалости как один из основополагающих мотивов прозы так называемого «незамеченного поколения». Младшее поколение русских писателей первой волны эмиграции выдвинуло на первый план страдающего «человека 1930-х годов», акцентируя внимание на жалости как действенном средстве преобразования жизни и человека. Более того, мотив жалости стал основополагающим для новой литературной школы русской эмиграции, названной Б.Поплавским «парижской школой».

description: The R algorithm is widely used for simulating two flavours of dynamical staggered fermions. We give a simple proof that the algorithm converges to the desired probability distribution to within O(dt^2) errors, but show that the relevant expansion parameter is (dt/m)^2, m being the quark mass. The Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm provides an exact (i.e., has no step size errors) alternative for simulating the square root of the staggered Dirac operator. We propose using it to test the validity of the R algorithm for simulations carried out with dt m.
