description: We review the signal, and the $b\bar{b}$ background, for Higgs production by the exclusive double-diffractive process, $pp \to p+H+p$, and its subsequent $H \to b\bar{b}$ decay, at the LHC. We discuss the production of Higgs bosons in both the SM and MSSM. We show how the predicted rates may be checked at the Tevatron by observing the exclusive double-diffractiveproduction of dijets, or $χ_c$ or $χ_b$ mesons, or $γγ$ pairs.

description: Three measures of the information content of a probability distribution are briefly reviewed. They are applied to fractional occupation probabilities in light nuclei, taking into account short-range correlations. The effect of short-range correlations is to increase the information entropy (or disorder) of nuclei, comparing with the independent particle model. It is also indicated that the information entropy can serve as a sensitive index of order and short-range correlations in nuclei. It is concluded that increasing $Z$, the information entropy increases i.e. the disorder of the nucleus increases for all measures of information considered in the present work.

description: Oltre al reddito ci sono altri due influenze principali sul risparmio nazionale : la politica fiscale e l'inflazione . Gli autori costruiscono un modello dell'economia italiana per analizzare l'impatto di queste due variabili correlate. Si è concluso che i disavanzi pubblici del passato hanno prodotto una riduzione proporzionale del risparmio nazionale . A partire dai primi anni 1960 risparmi nazionali sono diminuiti di quasi 9 punti percentuali , di cui 3,6 punti percentuali possono essere contabilizzati da un aumento del 4 per cento nel deficit del governo . I risultati per quanto riguarda l'impatto dell'inflazione non sono definiti , e non è possibile stabilirli . Apart from income there are two other main influences on national savings: fiscal policy and inflation. The authors construct a model of the Italian economy to analyse the impact of these two related variables. It is concluded that past government deficits have produced a proportional reduction in national saving. Since the early 1960s national savings have declined by nearly 9 percentage points, of which 3.6 percentage points can be accounted for by a 4 per cent increase in the government's deficit. The results regarding the impact of inflation are not definite, and no conclusion is drawn. JEL: E21, E31, E62,

description: Cost-affordable phenolic membranes having gradient nanostructures can be facilely synthesized from resol oligomers in the presence of ZnCl2 and poloxamers. The gradient nanostructures are formed by stacking phenolic nanoparticles with gradually enlarged diameters as the distance from the upper surface increases. The use of poloxamers for creating gelation surroundings is of great significance for controlling the growth of phenolic nanoparticles, which in turn dictates the performance of the phenolic membranes thus-produced. Hence, a study of the effects of poloxamers species on the preparation of the phenolic membranes is highly demanded since such robust membranes have much potential to be scale up for mass production. Herein, the poloxamer Pluronic F127 (EO106-PO70-EO106; EO = ethyleneoxide, PO = propyleneoxide) was introduced in the membrane-forming formulations. As opposed to P123 (EO20-PO70-EO20) that we used previously, F127 possessing extended PEO chains can delay the gelation during membrane formation. Hence, the phenolic nucleates are able to grow for longer durations, leading to the generation of more distinct gradient nanostructures in the phenolic membranes. Enhanced permeance can then be realized with F127-derived phenolic membranes. We also demonstrate that L31 (EO1-PO22-EO1) with merely single terminal EO units at the ends of the PPO block could be used to prepare gradient phenolic membranes. This work is not only much helpful to deeply understand the design of the structural gradient in phenolic membranes, but capable of sheding light on the development of such intriguing structures for water purification.
In-the-wild detection of speech affecting diseases

description:  Speech is a complex bio-signal that is intrinsically related to human physiology and cognition. It has the potential to provide a rich biomarker for health, allowing a non-invasive route to early diagnosis and monitoring of a range of conditions that affect speech. The scientific community has shown consistent interest in automating the diagnosis and monitoring of speech affecting diseases, but advances in this area have been limited by the small size of the available speech medical corpora, as these can be prohibitively difficult and expensive to collect. 
At the same time, the problem of diagnosing and monitoring speech affecting diseases specifically in in-the-wild contexts has been neglected, as the few existing speech medical corpora only contain recordings made in controlled conditions. These are typically conditions in which the channel is known, the background noise is minimized, or the content of the recordings is controlled by either speaking exercises or clinical interviews. They do not provide a good representation of real life scenarios. 
In this thesis we address the problem of detecting SA in in-the-wild contexts by, on one hand proposing novel strategies to collect and annotate speech medical corpora of arbitrary size, for arbitrary speech affecting (SA) diseases, from pre-existing massive online multimedia repositories. On the other hand, by proposing novel strategies to detect speech affecting diseases in both controlled and in-the-wild conditions, thus expanding the scenarios in which the detection of such diseases is possible. 
At the same time, we perform the first study of the limitations of both the existing speech medical corpora and current speech affecting disease detecting techniques when faced with in-the-wild data. 
In the scope of this thesis we also collect and annotate the in-the-wild speech medical (WSM) corpus, a first of its kind, ever growing corpus of in-the-wild multimodal recordings, featuring examples of several speech affecting diseases, including depression and Parkinson’s disease

description: Taking into consideration the specification of the sector, distinct tendencies in FDI flows can be expected both in the short and long term. The aforementioned assumption constituted the basis for the research the aiming at of which the presentation of the level, dynamics and structure of cross-border mergers and acquisitions in agricultural-food industry and exploration, on their basis, of the tendencies and directions in which they are going to change as well as to specify the place and role of agriculture and food industry in global flows of FDI. In order to reach the aforementioned goal, ex-post empiric analysis of capital flows in the form of mergers and acquisitions was applied (1990-2012) together with chosen statistical methods (measurements of placement and variation) and with indicators of structure and dynamics. The results of the analysis showed that M&As, in the long term, was specified by a relatively high cyclical nature as well as by a growing trend with short-term fluctuations around the trend distinct from those specifying other sectors. Moreover, the research proved that mergers and acquisitions constituted an important form of FDI flows and their implementation had a marginal meaning when considering the whole sector.

description: Starting from an analysis of four-dimensional asymptotically flat gravity in first order formulation, we show that superrotation reparametrization modes are governed by an Alekseev--Shatashvili action on the celestial sphere. This two-dimensional conformal theory describes spontaneous symmetry breaking of Virasoro superrotations together with the explicit symmetry breaking of more general Diff$(\mathcal{S}^2)$ superrotations. We arrive at this result by first reformulating the asymptotic field equations and symmetries of the radiative vacuum sector in terms of a Chern--Simons theory at null infinity, and subsequently performing a Hamiltonian reduction of this theory onto the celestial sphere.

description: Social distancing plays a pivotal role in preventing the spread of viral diseases illnesses such as COVID-19. By minimizing the close physical contact among people, we can reduce the chances of catching the virus and spreading it across the community. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive survey on how emerging technologies, e.g., wireless and networking, artificial intelligence (AI) can enable, encourage, and even enforce social distancing practice. To that end, we first provide a comprehensive background of social distancing including basic concepts, measurements, models, and propose various practical social distancing scenarios. We then discuss enabling wireless technologies which are especially effective and can be widely adopted in practice to keep distance, encourage, and enforce social distancing in general. After that, other emerging and related technologies such as machine learning, computer vision, thermal, ultrasound, etc., are introduced. These technologies open many new solutions and directions to deal with problems in social distancing, e.g., symptom prediction, detection and monitoring quarantined people, and contact tracing. Finally, we provide important open issues and challenges (e.g., privacy-preserving, scheduling, and incentive mechanisms) in implementing social distancing in practice. As an example, instead of reacting with ad-hoc responses to COVID-19-like pandemics in the future, smart infrastructures (e.g., next-generation wireless systems like 6G, smart home/building, smart city, intelligent transportation systems) should incorporate a pandemic mode in its standard architecture/design.

description: Con l'aumento della deregolamentazione e l'innovazione finanziaria in molti sistemi bancari nazionali, è stato suggerito che l'attuale enfasi sul controllo della massa monetaria non è più appropriato. Invece, una definizione più ampia di credito dovrebbe essere introdotto e movimenti degli aggregati creditizi dovrebbe essere controllato. L'autore sostiene che non vi è alcun meccanismo di trasmissione diretta tra un aggregato ampio credito e variazioni del debito privato e di governo, e che le autorità hanno limitato la capacità di controllare un tale aggregato. Quindi la sua scelta come l'obiettivo principale della politica monetaria sarebbe inopportuno. With increasing deregulation and financial innovation in many domestic banking systems, it has been suggested that the present emphasis on controlling the money stock is no longer appropriate. Instead, a broader definition of credit should be introduced and movements in credit aggregates should be controlled. The author argues that there is no direct transmission mechanism between a broad credit aggregate and changes in private and government debt, and that the authorities have limited ability to control such an aggregate. Therefore its choice as the main target for monetary policy would be inappropriate. JEL: E52

description: Motivated by earlier works we employ appropriate realizations of the affine Hecke algebra and we recover previously known non-diagonal solutions of the reflection equation for the $U_{q}(\hat{gl_n})$ case. The corresponding $N$ site spin chain with open boundary conditions is then constructed and boundary non-local charges associated to the non-diagonal solutions of the reflection equation are derived, as coproduct realizations of the reflection algebra. With the help of linear intertwining relations involving the aforementioned solutions of the reflection equation, the symmetry of the open spin chain with the corresponding boundary conditions is exhibited, being essentially a remnant of the $U_{q}(\hat{gl_{n}})$ algebra. More specifically, we show that representations of certain boundary non-local charges commute with the generators of the affine Hecke algebra and with the local Hamiltonian of the open spin chain for a particular choice of boundary conditions. Furthermore, we are able to show that the transfer matrix of the open spin chain commutes with a certain number of boundary non-local charges, depending on the choice of boundary conditions.

Mixed-initiative support for customizing graphical user interfaces
Creators: name: Bunt, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are becoming increasingly complex, motivating research into ways of providing users with interfaces that are customized or personalized to their individual needs. Two opposing approaches to interface customization that have received the most attention to date are adaptable and adaptive approaches. An adaptable approach places the user in charge of customizing the interface, whereas with an adaptive approach, the system performs the customization automatically. Since both the adaptive and adaptable approaches have unique advantages and disadvantages, this thesis investigates a mixed-initiative solution to interface customization that aims to maximize each of their advantages, while minimizing their disadvantages. As our first step, we conducted an exploratory experiment with simulated users. Using GOMS analysis, we evaluated the benefits of an appropriately customized interface. We also identified ways in which adaptive support could help users customize more efficiently, and identified user and task factors that impact effective customization. Based on the results of our simulation experiment, we designed and implemented the MICA (Mixed-Initiative Customization Assistance) system. MICA provides users with a facility to customize their interfaces according to their needs, but also provides them with system-controlled adaptive support to help them customize effectively. MICA's adaptive support relies on a novel application of GOMS analysis to reason about the potential performance implications of different customization decisions. Using this formal reasoning, MICA generates customization recommendations aimed at maximizing the user's performance with the interface. MICA also communicates predicted time savings to the user in its rationale component, which describes why and how MICA makes recommendations. We evaluated our mixed-initiative approach through two user studies. Study One examined the general benefits of MICA's approach in comparison to a purely adaptable alternative. The results indicate that users prefer MICA's support to customizing independently, that MICA's support positively impacts performance with the interface (in terms of time on task), and that MICA reduces customization time. Study Two explored the utility of MICA's rationale. With a focus on qualitative data, the study revealed that the majority of users wish to have access to the rationale for reasons such as increased understanding and predictability of MICA's recommendations and increased trust in the system. The study also indicated that not all users want access to the rationale, suggesting that fine-grained transparency and predictability may not be important to all users in all contexts. Since previous work has advocated the importance of interaction transparency and predictability, the results of Study Two suggest that it would be beneficial to gain a more general understanding of when and why rationale is useful.

We introduce a quantitative procedure to analyze the results of temperature cycling experiments. We also run, compare and discuss ``twin'' couples of experiments. We find that in our systems aging is always cumulative in nature, and rejuvenation and memory effects are also cumulative: they are very different from the ones observed in experiments on spin glass materials.

description: Around large cities it is easy to come across villages taking the character of the town sleeping area. One of the factors of this process is a desire to improve their quality of life by living in better conditions – regardless of the interpretation of the term by different social groups. The area of research will be suburban communes, located close to Wroclaw, which are in the process of suburbanisation. A relevant question of the research will be to determine the relationship of migration of the population to the suburban areas with regard to changes in living conditions. Level of living conditions will be determined on the basis of available statistical data using a synthetic indicator Hellwig. The study proved that communes with the highest index in a base year (over 0.4) recorded the highest growth of population – more than 20%.

description: Russia is rich in mineral resources and fossil fuels. Resources are distributed disproportionately on the territory of Russia; hence some regions are strongly dependent on imported fuels. Furthermore, there are cases where there is no infrastructure for the delivery of natural gas, thus liquid oil is used as the main energy source. This has negative economic and environmental impacts - it causes a substantial amount of greenhouse gas emissions, associated with the actual burning of fossil fuels as well as with the transport of these fuels. At the same time, the regions with little or no fossil fuels potentially have their own sources of energy; such as biomass, wind, solar, hydro and etc. Therefore, every region in Russia should be researched to identify the potential of the locally available renewable energy sources to decrease the dependence on the imported fuels; releasing some of the economic and environmental pressure. The selected region of Murmansk strongly depends on imported heavy oil for heat generation. Considering the harsh and cold climate of the region, where number of days require heating up to 350 days in some locations and on average for the region its 280 days, thus it is crucial to have sustainable heating system by decreasing the dependence on imported oil as a heating fuel. To explain precisely regional need in heating, the average heating degree days for Murmansk city (not the coldest location), and considering the outside temperature as 15,5 0C as minimum temperature after which the heating is required the heating degree days indicator is 5676 HDD, accordingly, (Degreedays, 2015). From the assessment made, it can be concluded that heating generation facilities based on biomass are not economically feasible in the absence of dedicated financial support. Overall, these can cover up to 7% of the total regional heating demand in 2030. For electricity demand the analysis shows that apart from hydropower and tidal all renewable energy sources reviewed in this thesis were found not to be economically feasible under current market and framework conditions. However, considering that Russia has implemented a law establishing investment grants for hydro, solar and wind energy in the electricity sector wind energy is feasible under the certain conditions. Russia has vast territory with various climate conditions and different types of energy sources. Some of these regions are rich with traditional fuels, while others are rich with biomass and/or wind energy. This abundance of natural resources calls for an analysis of the sources available in the different regions of Russia, as this would be useful to optimize energy systems, which can potentially lead to better economical as well as social aspects and better life quality.

description: I sistemi di contabilità nazionale in base alla metodologia SEC sono soliti comportarsi in modo da garantire l'impossibilità pratica di effettuare qualsiasi assegnazione significativa di servizi bancari imputati tra i singoli rami di attività economica. Il presente lavoro mostra come questo vieta l'analisi strutturale del ruolo del credito nel sistema di interdipendenze. . L'analisi mette in evidenza la duplice natura del credito come contenuti a valore aggiunto altamente intermedio e alto. È in grado di influenzare forte su i costi di produzione degli altri rami, senza essere influenzato da loro. Queste proprietà conferiscono al settore bancario un potenziale molto elevato per l'inflazione. National accounts systems based on the SEC methodology are usually thought to comport the practical impossibility of carrying out any meaningful allocation of imputed bank services among the single branches of economic activity. As a consequence, the total value of the net interest earned by the credit system as a whole is considered as a cost entry and a negative component of added value in an ad-hoc additional industry, to be aggregated to the main credit one in the typical input-output analysis. The present work shows how this prohibits the structural analysis of the role of credit in the system of interdependencies. A method of is proposed in which imputed services of credit are distributed by branches, on the basis of existing statistics, proving valuable in assessing the significance of certain quantities of national accounts, such as operating results. The analysis highlights the dual nature of credit as highly intermediate and high value-added content. It is able to strongly influence the production costs of the other branches, without being influenced by them. These properties give the banking industry a very high potential for inflation.

description: Polish beer market is characterised by a high degree of concentration. The market share of Kompania Piwowarska, Grupa Żywiec and Carlsberg Polska is 90%. Many authors stress concentration as an important factor when explaining why various industries are more or less effective or more or less profitable. Firms from concentrated industries report, on average, higher profitability than those in non-concentrated industries. The aim of this paper is to analyse the differences of economic efficiency of large (group I) and small (group II) entities involved in the production of beer. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the test group of companies was based on selected financial ratios (return on assets, return on sales, inventory turnover, total debt ratio).

description: Suspension system is used to fulfil the criteria of ride comfort and road handling. In this paper, a quarter car active
& semi-active suspension systems are designed using Matlab/Script software. Comparison of active & semi-active
suspension systems are done using robust control theory for the control targets suspension deflection, body
acceleration and body travel. H infinity controller is selected to compare the two suspensions using time domain
analysis. Finally the simulation result prove the effectiveness of the active suspension system by decreasing the body
acceleration & sustaining the suspension deflection and body travel outputs.

description: L'analisi della definizione degli aggregati monetari ha avuto un ruolo di primo piano nel dibattito sul denaro negli anni Sessanta e la prima metà degli anni Settanta . I problemi connessi con il rapporto tra denaro e quasi- denaro ha importanti implicazioni per i vari aspetti fondamentali della teoria monetaria e della politica monetaria . In Italia , per motivi legati alla peculiarità del quadro istituzionale , il problema in questione non ha ricevuto molta attenzione . Solo di recente , a seguito della diffusione di strumenti di mercato monetario , molti partiti hanno sollevato la questione per quanto riguarda l'inclusione di questi strumenti nella definizione dello stock del denaro . Dopo aver spiegato la natura del problema , il presente lavoro fornisce un'analisi empirica della questione . The analysis of the definition of monetary aggregates has had a leading role in the debate on money in the sixties and the first half of the seventies. The problems associated with the relationship between money and quasi-money has important implications for various fundamental aspects of monetary theory and monetary policy. In Italy, for reasons related to the peculiar institutional framework, the issue in question has not received much attention. Only recently, as a result of the diffusion of money market instruments, have many parties raised the question regarding the inclusion of these instruments in the definition of the stock of money. After explaining the nature of the problem, the present work provides an empirical analysis of the issue. JEL: E42, E52

description: In this study, we evaluate a coronal mass ejection (CME) arrival prediction tool that utilizes the wide-angle observations made by STEREO's heliospheric imagers (HI). The unsurpassable advantage of these imagers is the possibility to observe the evolution and propagation of a CME from close to the Sun out to 1 AU and beyond. We believe that by exploiting this capability, instead of relying on coronagraph observations only, it is possible to improve today's CME arrival time predictions. The ELlipse Evolution model based on HI observations (ELEvoHI) assumes that the CME frontal shape within the ecliptic plane is an ellipse, and allows the CME to adjust to the ambient solar wind speed, i.e. it is drag-based. ELEvoHI is used to perform ensemble simulations by varying the CME frontal shape within given boundary conditions that are consistent with the observations made by HI. In this work, we evaluate different set-ups of the model by performing hindcasts for 15 well-defined isolated CMEs that occurred when STEREO was near L4/5, between the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2011. In this way, we find a mean absolute error of between $6.2\pm7.9$ h and $9.9\pm13$ h depending on the model set-up used. ELEvoHI is specified for using data from future space weather missions carrying HIs located at L5 or L1. It can also be used with near real-time STEREO-A HI beacon data to provide CME arrival predictions during the next $\sim7$ years when STEREO-A is observing the Sun-Earth space.

Stpc : a robust incentive mechanism for improving DHT-based peer-to-peer systems
Creators: name: Huang, Gary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The Distributed Hash Table-based (DHT-based) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system is a largescale, distributed structured system with a very promising routing algorithm to efficiently retrieve information. The academic community has paid great attention to DHT-based P2P systems. However, since peers are self-behaved in these systems, they can frequently join or leave the systems as they want. Therefore, these dynamic systems have high overhead to maintain the DHT topology. Also, any P2P systems encounter free-riding - peers try to maximize their own utility and provide as little service to other peers as possible. Free-riding decreases the usability of system utilities and restricts the development of P2P systems. We investigate the following two factors that may be able to improve these systems: (1) the longer session time peers provide in the system, the more stable the system tends to be with lower maintenance overhead; (2) the more the peers contribute, the more resources they can share in the system. We propose an incentive mechanism that applies the two factors in an incentive value, which determines peer payoff such as service priority and resource distribution. Applying this incentive mechanism, peers are encouraged to provide more session time and make a larger peer contribution. Our experiment results show that our incentive mechanism effectively reduces system maintenance overhead and dramatically controls free-riding in DHT-based P2P systems.

Masterarbeit

description: Die Aufmerksamkeit, das Verhalten und die Emotionen gezielt steuern zu können, ist zentral für die Lernleistung. Dieser Fähigkeit zur Selbstregulation liegen die exekutiven Funktionen zugrunde, welche im engeren Sinn aus den drei unabhängigen, aber zusammenwirkenden Kernkomponenten Arbeitsgedächtnis, Inhibition und kognitive Flexibilität bestehen. Diese Arbeit zeigt Zusammenhänge zwischen körperlicher Aktivität und exekutiven Funktionen auf und geht der Frage nach, worin die Stärken eines kombiniert körperlich-kognitiven Trainings bei der Förderung exekutiver Funktionen liegen. Zudem werden fünf in der Schulpraxis erprobte Spiele dargestellt und aufgezeigt, inwiefern diese das Arbeitsgedächtnis, die Inhibition und die kognitive Flexibilität fördern und sich für den Einsatz in der Schuleingangsstufe eignen.

description: Two competing flood control and drainage management (FCDM) systems, namely, the ‘silt-dredging and regulative-drainage management (SRM)’ and the ‘tidal river-basin management (TRM)’ systems were implemented in the Southwest coastal zone of Bangladesh as a safeguard for agricultural production. The fundamental difference between these two FCDM systems is that the SRM is a conventional system based on hard engineering structure and heavily dependent on routine dredging; in contrast, the TRM is a natural system. This paper primarily evaluates these two contrasting and competing FCDM systems from the perspectives of productive efficiency, going beyond the traditional approach which often takes an engineering perspective. Evaluation of these two FCDM systems has been made on three distinctive measurements including ‘technical efficiency’, ‘yield-gap’ and ‘potential yield increment’. The results reveal that the conventional flood defence system (SRM) marginally outperforms the natural system (TRM) in terms of productivity with paddy. This is despite SRM being more expensive to deliver, as well as the fact that, due to a relative sea-level rise with the SRM system, it is likely to become increasingly expensive in the future. In contrast, TRM benefits from counteracting a relative sea-level rise in an environmentally friendly way, keeping maintenance costs low.
