description: To model the decay of a quasibound state we use the modified two-potential approach introduced by Gurvitz and Kalbermann. This method has proved itself useful in the past for calculating the decay width and the energy shift of an isolated quasistationary state. We follow the same approach in order to propagate the wave-packet in time with the ultimate goal of extracting the momentum-distribution of emitted particles. The advantage of the method is that it provides the time-dependent wave function in a simple semi-analytic form. We intend to apply this method to the modeling of metastable states for which no direct integration of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation is available today.

description: The aim of the article is to analyse the concept of social exclusion in EU lifelong learning policies: how the concept has evolved from the 1990s in terms of meaning, definitions and closely connected concepts, what are the implications of this evolution, and whether there is coherence between the conceptual evolution and lifelong learning policy. Using a qualitative methodology, this article focuses on policy documents that form the European Union’s legal and political framework of reference in the lifelong learning area in the last two and a half decades. A total of 59 documents issued between 1992 and 2017 have been analysed using content analysis. The analysis of the documents has been complemented by 6 semi-structured interviews with EU lifelong learning experts. The results show that the concept is narrowly defined in terms of specific groups at risk of being socially excluded and in terms of employability, thus individualising the problem of exclusion and distracting attention from structural factors.

description: The observation of CP violation has been experimentally verified in numerous $B$ decays but is yet to be confirmed in final states with half-spin particles. We focus our attention on baryonic $B$-meson decays mediated dominantly through internal $W$-emission processes and show that they are promising processes to observe for the first time the CP violating effects in $B$ decays to final states with half-spin particles. Specifically, we study the $\bar B^0\to p\bar pπ^0(ρ^0)$ and $\bar B^0\to p\bar pπ^+π^-$ decays. We obtain ${\cal B}(\bar B^0\to p\bar pπ^0)=(5.0\pm 2.1)\times 10^{-7}$, in agreement with current data, and ${\cal B}(\bar B^0\to p\bar pρ^0)\simeq {\cal B}(\bar B^0\to p\bar pπ^0)/3$. Furthermore, we find ${\cal A}_{CP}(\bar B^0\to p\bar pπ^0,p\bar pρ^0,p\bar pπ^+π^-) =(-16.8\pm 5.4,-12.6\pm 3.0,-11.4\pm 1.9)\%$. With measured branching fractions ${\cal B}(\bar B^0\to p\bar pπ^0,p\bar pπ^+π^-)\sim {\cal O}(10^{-6})$, we point out that ${\cal A}_{CP}\sim -(10-20)\%$ can be new observables for CP violation, accessible to the Belle~II and/or LHCb experiments.

description: We discuss how to avoid aggregation bias in large-scale global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models by reducing the need of pre-model aggregation, based on the combination of algorithmic improvements and a filtering approach which removes small transactions. Using large-scale sensitivity analysis, we show the impact of pre-aggregation and filtering on model size, model solution time and simulated welfare impacts, using a multi-lateral partial trade liberalization simulated with the standard GTAP model as the test case. We conclude that pre-model aggregation should be avoided as far as possible, and that our filtering approach and algorithmic improvements allow global CGE analysis even with highly disaggregated data sets at moderate solution times.

description: In previous research, we have found that the incorporation of three lateral substituents on bent-core oxadiazole-based liquid crystals has allowed for the presence of a nematic phase that supercooled to room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies of these derivatives have confirmed that the nematic phase consists of cybotactic clusters. Moreover, the wide-angle XRD pattern showed a splitting indicative of local biaxial ordering within this phase. In this paper, we report the phase behaviour of two series of compounds that contain up to four lateral methyl groups. In one series, the arrangement of the lateral groups is symmetrical, and in the other case, the groups are not symmetrically distributed. All of the non-symmetric derivatives supercool to room temperature in the nematic phase, while symmetric derivatives tend to crystallise well above room temperature. XRD analysis of all of these compounds indicates the presence of cybotactic order. However, a splitting of the wide-angle XRD pattern is observed only in derivatives with lateral groups on the outer benzene rings, regardless of their supercooling behaviour, indicating the crucial influence of these substituents on the molecular packing.

description: Addition of inhibitor is an efficient and feasible method to delay the corrosion of magnesium alloys. Longan residue extract (LRE) is a promising inhibitor with the sustainable and abundant advantages. However, the inhibition efficiency of LRE is only 80.01% in NaCl solution, which would not supply the efficient protection for the Mg alloys. The other inhibitor, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), is employed to refine the anti-corrosion performance. The anti-corrosion performance of hybrid inhibitor is investigated by electrochemical measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The inhibition efficiency can be remarkably increased to 92.15% due to the synergistic effects of LRE and SDBS. The anti-corrosion performance would be further increased to 95.67% if the Mg alloys are soaked in the solution including the hybrid inhibitors for 12 h. The present studies explore a new and efficient inhibitor for Mg alloys and afford a feasible strategy to utilise the agriculture waste.

COMMENT
Excluded from Algeria.This taxon was reported by Bescherelle (1882) from Const. Sahara Mehounech, 390 m, under the name “ Physcomitrium acuminatum Schl. ”. Jelenc (1955a) while compiling previous northern African reports, considered that Bescherelle referred to a new undescribed taxon “ P. acuminatum Besch. non Schleich.” and put it as a synonym of Physcomitrium longicollum Trab. (synonymized by Ros & Cano (2008) with Entosthodon hungaricus). Therefore, it was not included in the Algerian checklists ofRos et al. (1999, 2013).

description: Measurement-based feedback control is central in quantum computing and precise quantum control. Here we realize a fast and flexible field-programmable-gate-array-based feedback control in a superconducting Xmon qubit system. The latency of room-temperature electronics is custom optimized to be as short as 140 ns. Projective measurement of a signal qubit produces a feedback tag to actuate a conditional pulse gate to the qubit. In a feed-forward process, the measurement-based feedback tag is brought to a different target qubit for a conditional control. In a two-qubit experiment, the feedback and feed-forward controls are simultaneously actuated in consecutive steps. A quantum number is then generated by the signal qubit, and a random walk of the target qubit is correspondingly triggered and realized on the Bloch sphere. Our experiment provides a conceptually simple and intuitive benchmark for the feedback control in a multi-qubit system. The feedback system can be further scaled up for more complex feedback control experiments.
Optical and X-ray Afterglows in the Cannonball Model of GRBs

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The Cannonball Model is based on the hypothesis that GRBs and their afterglows are made in supernova explosions by relativistic ejecta similar to the ones observed in quasars and microquasars. Its predictions are simple, and analytical in fair approximations. The model describes well the properties of the $γ$-rays of GRBs. It gives a very simple and extremely successful description of the optical and X-ray afterglows of {\it all} GRBs of known redshift. The only problem the model has, so far, is that it is contrary to staunch orthodox beliefs.

description: The results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating resveratrol supplementation on risk factors of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have been inconsistent. The present meta-analysis aimed to quantitatively evaluate the effects of resveratrol intervention on risk factors of NCDs. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched up to June 2017. Weighted mean differences were calculated for net changes in risk factors of NCDs by using a random-effects model. Pre-specified subgroup and univariate meta-regression analyses were carried out to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Twenty-nine studies (30 treatment arms) with 1069 participants were identified. Resveratrol supplementation significantly reduced the concentrations of fasting glucose (−4.77 mg/dL; 95% CI: −9.33 to −0.21 mg/dL; P = 0.040), total cholesterol (TC) (−9.75 mg/dL; 95% CI: −17.04 to −2.46 mg/dL; P = 0.009), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (−0.81 mg/L; 95% CI: −1.42 to −0.21 mg/L; P = 0.009). Resveratrol intervention exerted significant reductions in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Subgroup analysis also showed that the trials with resveratrol intervention ≥3 months significantly reduced the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), DBP, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values. The results did not support that resveratrol intervention had favorable effects in altering high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TAG), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). The present study provides substantial evidence that resveratrol supplementation has favorable effects on several risk factors of NCDs.

description: The quadrupolar splittings of perdeuteriated n-decane dissolved in nematic phases formed by mesogenic dimers of the CBnCB series, for n = 7,9,10,11, are measured throughout the entire temperature range of these phases. These results are reported together with related measurements using the common nematic phase of 5CB as a solvent for n-decane. The data obtained from the 13C spectra of the cyanobiphenyl mesogenic units of the monomeric and dimeric solvent molecules yield the order parameter of those units. The information obtained from this set of experiments is used to elucidate the structure of the low temperature (NX) and the high temperature (N) nematic phases of CBnCB dimers with n = 7,9,11. The polar twisted nematic (NPT) model is found to provide a consistent description not only of our experimental results but also of NMR measurements previously reported in the literature for these phases. These findings suggest that the high temperature nematic (N) is not a common, locally uniaxial and apolar nematic, but rather a nematic phase consisting of NPT clusters. The twist-bend (NTB) model, often identified with the NX phase, is shown to be inadequate to account even qualitatively for crucial features of the experimental findings. NMR studies of perduteriated n-decane dissolved in mesogenic dimers of the CBnCB series elucidate the structure of the low and high temperature nematic phases of the odd-n dimers.

Albrecht Dürer’s Large Passion: Art, History, and Theology
Creators: name: Ellis, James W.
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: Education

description: This essay analyzes a series of woodcuts collectively entitled the Large Passion (of Christ), which the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer created between 1496 and 1511. The Passion illustrates the biblical story of Jesus Christ’s betrayal, trial, and crucifixion. The essay explores various artistic, religious, and philosophical contexts that affected Dürer’s imagery. The artist’s identification as an Augustinian Catholic, his interest in Italian humanism, and the influence of Venetian Renaissance art played crucial roles in the iconography and style of Dürer’s woodcut prints. The devotional known as the Way of the Cross, or Stations of the Cross, also impacted his subject matter. The artist used his Large Passion cycle to educate a wide spectrum of art collectors about Christian doctrine. The essay concludes by briefly examining each Large Passion image, using relevant Bible passages and Christian theology to help explain some of the messages Dürer’s prints conveyed.

COMMENT
Doubtfully present in Algeria. The report in Algeria of this species is based on a single specimen collected by A. Letourneux without indication of locality. Furthermore, its reliability is doubtful as it is a rare species in the Mediterranean Region (Ros et al. 2013; Sabovljevic 2019). Due to difficulties in finding this collection, the species can only be kept in the Algerian catalogue if new specimens are found.

However, such strategies are not capable to detect the advanced Android malicious apps because malware developer uses several obfuscation techniques. Hence, researchers are continuously addressing the security issues in the Android based smart devices. Therefore, in this paper using Drebin benchmark malware dataset we experimentally demonstrate how to improve the detection accuracy by analyzing the apps after grouping the collected data based on the permissions and achieved 97.15% overall average accuracy. Our results outperform the accuracy obtained without grouping data (79.27%, 2017), Arp, et al. (94%, 2014), Annamalai et al. (84.29%, 2016), Bahman Rashidi et al. (82%, 2017)) and Ali Feizollah, et al. (95.5%, 2017). The analysis also shows that among the groups, Microphone group detection accuracy is least while Calendar group apps are detected with the highest accuracy, and with the highest accuracy, and for the best performance, one shall take 80-100 features.

description: Traditional Balinese houses have identical values ​​and rituals that are very strong. Bali has a height limit for vertical development. All of building unit height is prohibited more than 15 m. This regulation is the main obstacle to vertical development building in Bali. The increasing visit of backpacker without accompanied expansion of land, encourages people to look for several alternatives in developing accommodation owned. The existence of dormitory is considered to best represent the needs of backpacker travelers who have a low budget. However, the sleeping position of the Balinese who requires head placement in the east or north. Will be very difficult when having to put more than two beds in a room. This research includes explorative qualitative research, where the data collection technique uses a combination of several methods including observation of dormitory in Canggu. Depth interviews with tourist accommodation owners and tourists who occupy also very important to know the change of space. The existing physical dormitory settings are compared with tourist perceptions, so can describe findings of this study with sketch. The chosen design pattern is returned to the accommodation owner to see the value of the space that must be maintained. The results of this study indicate that "Monkey House" is a term used to refer to the form of dormitory. Placement of the bed with a head position must be directed to Luan (east or north orientation). The construction of dormitory in bale dangin (bale adat) is strictly prohibited regarding the ritual function which is accommodated by bale dangin.

description: The United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the annual Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) in three phases. The third phase of the ARMS collects detailed economic data which is highly sensitive, and thus this phase suffers from lower response rates. With the release of the 2006 Office of Management and Budget Standards and Guidelines for Statistical Surveys, response rates lower than 80 percent may not only result in nonresponse bias, but they can jeopardize the future of surveys carried out by federal agencies. Based on the assumption that the use of calibrated weights derived from appropriate targets addresses nonresponse bias, the effect of the 2005 Phase III ARMS calibrated weights on relative bias of the mean was tested for all cases sampled in the 2005 ARMS with Census 2002 expenditure data. The results showed that calibrated weights decreased bias levels so that they were no longer significantly different from zero for almost 90 percent of the “study variables” (p < .05).

description: The relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) model is extended to include density dependent meson-nucleon couplings. The effective Lagrangian is characterized by a phenomenological density dependence for the $σ$, $ω$ and $ρ$ meson-nucleon vertex functions, adjusted to properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei. Pairing correlations are described by the pairing part of the finite range Gogny interaction. The new density-dependent effective interaction DD-ME1 is tested in the analysis of the equations of state for symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter, and of ground-state properties of the Sn and Pb isotopic chains. Results of self-consistent RHB calculations are compared with experimental data, and with results previously obtained in the RHB model with non-linear self-interactions, as well as in the density dependent relativistic hadron field (DDRH) model. Parity-violating elastic electron scattering on Pb and Sn nuclei is calculated using a relativistic optical model with inclusion of Coulomb distortion effects, and the resulting asymmetry parameters are related to the neutron ground-state density distributions.

description: The provision of global public goods, such as climate change mitigation and managing fisheries to avoid overharvesting, requires the coordination of national contributions. The contributions are managed by elected governments who, in turn, are subject to public pressure on the matter. In an experimental setting, we randomly assign subjects into four teams, and ask them to elect a delegate by a secret vote. The elected delegates repeatedly play a one shot public goods game in which the aim is to avoid losses that can ensue if the sum of their contributions falls short of a threshold. Earnings are split evenly among the team members, including the delegate. We find that delegation causes a small reduction in the group contributions. Public pressure, in the form of teammates’ messages to their delegate, has a significant negative effect on contributions, even though the messages are designed to be payoff-inconsequential (i.e., cheap talk). The reason for the latter finding is that delegates tend to focus on the least ambitious suggestion. In other words, they focus on the lower of the two public good contributions preferred by their teammates. This finding is consistent with the prediction of our model, a modified version of regret theory.

description: This research aims to study factors that associated to work-life balance on dimension work/personal life enhancement of industrial and service labours. The quantitative methodology was employed with individual level as a unit of analysis. The sample consisted of 397 labours who are working in industrial and service sectors that random by systematic random sampling. The data were collected using the interview schedule from May to June 2018 and analyzed by descriptive statistics and Chi-square. The results showed that most of the labours (75.3 percentages) were female. Age of labours samples in the generation Y (19-38 years old) 63.5 percentages. The labours samples have got married (43.2 percentages). More than haft of them finished secondary school. There are 74.1 percentages of labours samples worked in industrial and service sectors less than 10 years and more than haft worked per day more than 8 hours that over than the regulation by labour law. When analyzing factors associated to work-life balance on dimension work/personal life enhancement of industrial and service labours with Chi-square, it was found that the personnel characteristics factors (education level) and work condition factors (working hours per day) were the factors that associated to work-life balance on dimension work/personal life enhancement of female labours while in the male labour the personnel characteristics factors (age , marital status, education level) and work condition factors (working session in organization and working hours per day) were the factors that associated to work-life balance on dimension work/personal life enhancement of male labours.

description: Pursuing an evidence based approach we summarize the key elements of the European Commission’s proposal of July 2015 for a reform of the EU Emissions Trading System and offer facts about the current state of EU ETS that underline the needs for such a reform. We supply key data for understanding the current state of EU ETS and report in particular the share of freely allocated allowances in emissions for the various sectors since the start of EU ETS in 2005. This is the most relevant parameter for evaluating the stringency and cost impacts of the EU ETS on sectors and installations. We provide propositions for enhancing the allocation procedure of both free and auctioned allowances, the fundamental element in the cap and trade design of this system. We link this procedure closely to the relevant suggestions of the Commission proposal and offer extensions that can make in particular the allocation of free allowances more targeted and effective. We indicate how the impacts of free allowances can be calculated both for sectors and installations and conclude that these reform steps could reduce the administrative burden of the system.

description: Increasing material use efficiency is important to mitigate future supply risks and minimize environmental impacts associated with the production of the materials. The policy mix presented in this paper aims to reduce the use of virgin metals in the EU by 80% by 2050. We used a heuristic framework and a systems perspective for designing the policy mix that combines primary instruments (aimed to achieve the 80% reduction target – e.g. a materials tax, technical regulations and removal of environmentally harmful subsidies) and supportive instruments (aimed to reduce barriers to implementing the primary instruments and to contribute towards the policy objectives – e.g. research & development support, and advanced recycling centers). Furthermore, instruments were designed so as to increase political feasibility: e.g. taxes were gradually increased as part of a green fiscal reform, and border-tax adjustments were introduced to reduce impacts on competitiveness. However, even in such a policy mix design ongoing ex-ante assessments indicate that the policy mix will be politically difficult to implement – and also fall short of achieving the 80% reduction target. Nonetheless, we suggest combining primary and supportive instruments into coherent and dynamic policy mixes as a promising step towards system reconfigurations for sustainability.

description: We describe the accelerated expansion of the late-time universe using a generalized equation of state (EoS) when account is taken of bulk viscosity. We assume a homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime. Solutions of the gravitational equations for dark energy are obtained in implicit form. Characteristic properties of the Universe evolution in the presence of the viscosity effects are discussed. Finally, the dynamics of the accelerated expansion of the viscous universe is discussed, on the basis of a modified logarithmic-corrected EoS.

description: New bent-core mesogens with thiophene central ring were designed to obtain fluorescent and conductive liquid crystlline phases. Depending on the number of terminal chains and the length of lateral substituent at central unit either calamitic or columnar phases were formed. All the synthesised compounds showed high quantum efficiency of fluorescence in solution, ~0.9, that was however reduced to ~0.15 in condensed state. The light emitted from nematic or columnar phase was linearly polarised. Quenching of fluorescence in condensed state, together with observed red shift of emission maximum wavelength, evidenced formation of J-aggregates or weak excimers. Aggregation was also monitored by dynamic light scattering in water/tetrahydrofuran (THF) solutions.

description: The current Water Abstraction License (WAL) regime in Italy is no longer flexible enough to cope with the challenges posed by human-induced climate and global environmental changes. The cornerstones of the current regime were laid down in the 1930s and have remained essentially unchanged ever since. The sole noteworthy reform of the Italian WAL regime was the decentralization of the regulatory competences from the state to the regional authorities in the late 1990s. In this paper, we review the WAL regimes across the administrative regions comprising the Po River Basin District (PRBD), the largest and economically most important in Italy. PRBD’s WAL regime includes a rigid and scattered WAL normative that hinders the performance of bottom-up conflict resolution mechanisms at a basin scale; a water pricing scheme that does not reflect the cost of water conveyance and use, and does not encourage efficient water allocation; and the lack of a central WAL register, which delays and in some cases impedes an environmental impact assessment for issuing new licenses or renewing existing ones, and does not allow prioritizing applications according to their full economic value. We argue these deficiencies may compromise both the integrity of riverine and water dependent ecosystems and the economic uses of water. This paper offers insights that can inform reform of water allocations in the PRBD and elsewhere in Italy and in Europe.
