description: В статье рассматривается тенденция виртуализации социального и экономического пространства в связи с повсеместным распространением информационно-коммуникационных технологий, приводящих к доминированию электронной коммуникации. Утверждается, что проникновение цифровых сетей в экономическую сферу привело к возникновению сетевого капитализма . Обращается также внимание на признаки цифровизации, в том числе выделяется такой признак цифровой экономики как пространственное распространение. Авторы приходят к выводу о том, что в настоящее время происходит концептуальная эволюция теорий глобализации в направлении представлений о постглобализации как о виртуализации социальных процессов.

description: The X-ray properties of a relaxed cluster of galaxies are determined primarily by its gravitational potential well and the entropy distribution of its intracluster gas. That entropy distribution reflects both the accretion history of the cluster and the feedback processes which limit the condensation of intracluster gas. Here we present Chandra observations of the core entropy profiles of nine classic "cooling-flow" clusters that appear relaxed and contain intracluster gas with a cooling time less than a Hubble time. We show that those entropy profiles are remarkably similar, despite the fact that the clusters range over a factor of three in temperature. They typically have an entropy level of ~ 130 keV cm^2 at 100 kpc that declines to a plateau ~10 keV cm^2 at \lesssim 10 kpc. Between these radii, the entropy profiles are \propto r^alpha with alpha ~ 1.0 - 1.3. The non-zero central entropy levels in these clusters correspond to a cooling time ~10^8 yr, suggesting that episodic heating on this timescale maintains the central entropy profile in a quasi-steady state.

description: The detection of gravitational waves from merging binaries has ushered in the era of gravitational wave interferometer astronomy. Besides these strong, transient, calamitous events, much weaker signals can be detected if the oscillations are nearly monochromatic and "continuous", that is, coherent over a long time. In this work we show that ultra-light dark matter of spin two, owing to its universal coupling $α$ to Standard Model fields, generates a signal that is akin to but distinct from a continuous gravitational wave. We show that this signal could be detected with current and planned gravitational wave interferometers. In the event of a null detection, current facilities could constrain the coupling to be below $α\sim10^{-7}$ for frequencies of tens of Hz, corresponding to dark matter masses around the $10^{-13}$ eV mark. Future facilities could further lower these upper limits and extend them to smaller masses down to $10^{-18}$ eV. These limits would be the most stringent bounds on the spin-2 Yukawa fifth force strength, parametrised by $α$, in the frequency ranges accessible by gravitational wave interferometers. The implementation of this type of searches for gravitational wave interferometers would therefore further our grasp of both dark matter and gravity.
Classifications of Skull Fractures using CT Scan Images via CNN with Lazy Learning Approach

description: Classification of skull fracture is a challenging task for both radiologists and researchers. Skull fractures result in broken pieces of bone, which can cut into the brain and cause bleeding and other injury types. So it is vital to detect and classify the fracture very early. In real world, often fractures occur at multiple sites. This makes it harder to detect the fracture type where many fracture types might summarize a skull fracture. Unfortunately, manual detection of skull fracture and the classification process is time-consuming, threatening a patient’s life. Because of the emergence of deep learning, this process could be automated. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the most widely used deep learning models for image categorization because they deliver high accuracy and outstanding outcomes compared to other models. We propose a new model called SkullNetV1 comprising a novel CNN by taking advantage of CNN for feature extraction and lazy learning approach which acts as a classifier for classification of skull fractures from brain CT images to classify five fracture types. Our suggested model achieved a subset accuracy of 88%, an F1 score of 93%, the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.89 to 0.98, a Hamming score of 92% and a Hamming loss of 0.04 for this seven-class multi-labeled classification

description: SAOZ (Systeme d'Analyse par Observation Zenitale) is a balloon born experiment which determines the column density of several molecular species from the visible spectrum of sunlight. We will use sequence of spectra collected during a sunset to discuss atmospheric extinction, and the nature of the radiation field in the atmosphere. The radiation field in the atmosphere is, from daylight to sunset, and with a clear sky, dominated by light coming from the direction of the sun. This light is composed of direct sunlight (extinguished by the gas), and of sunlight forward-scattered by aerosols. As the sun sets, aerosol scattering is first perceived towards the UV. It progressively replaces direct sunlight over all of the spectrum. Our analysis permits fixing the main parameters of each component of the radiation field at any time. The fits we find for the extinction of sunlight in the atmosphere must also apply to starlight. Thus, the present work can be used in astronomy to correct ground-based spectral observations for extinction in the atmosphere.

description: We show that every multilinear map between Euclidean spaces induces a unique, continuous, Minkowski multilinear map of the corresponding real cones of zonoids. Applied to the wedge product of the exterior algebra of a Euclidean space, this yields a multiplication of zonoids, defining the structure of a commutative, associative, and partially ordered ring, which we call the zonoid algebra. This framework gives a new perspective on classical objects in convex geometry, and it allows to introduce new functionals on zonoids, in particular generalizing the notion of mixed volume. We also analyze a similar construction based on the complex wedge product, which leads to the new notion of mixed $J$-volume. These ideas connect to the theory of random determinants.

description: Context: Osteoporosis is a major public health burden with significant economic costs. However, the correlates of bone health in Hispanic children are understudied. Objective: We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) at multiple skeletal sites in Hispanic children. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional genome-wide linkage analysis, genome-wide and exome-wide association analysis of BMD and BMC. The Viva La Familia Study is a family-based cohort with a total of 1030 Hispanic children (4–19 years old at baseline) conducted in Houston, TX. BMD and BMC were measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: Significant heritability were observed for BMC and BMD at multiple skeletal sites ranging between 44 and 68% (P < 2.8 × 10− 9). Significant evidence for linkage was found for BMD of pelvis and left leg on chromosome 7p14, lumbar spine on 20q13 and left rib on 6p21, and BMC of pelvis on chromosome 20q12 and total body on 14q22-23 (logarithm of odds score > 3). We found genome-wide significant association between BMC of right arm and rs762920 at PVALB (P = 4.6 × 10− 8), and between pelvis BMD and rs7000615 at PTK2B (P = 7.4 × 10− 8). Exome-wide association analysis revealed novel association of variants at MEGF10 and ABRAXAS2 with left arm and lumber spine BMC, respectively (P < 9 × 10− 7). Conclusions: We identified novel loci associated with BMC and BMD in Hispanic children, with strongest evidence for PTK2B. These findings provide better understanding of bone genetics and shed light on biological mechanisms underlying BMD and BMC variation.

description: International trade fairs are an important marketing tool for the expanding organic market. Although much output is marketed locally and there is a growing demand for the so-called zero miles products, Italian organic raw materials and processed foods are largely exported. For the first time, a direct survey has been conducted on 100 Italian firms attending BioFach 2000, to analyze aspects like activities performed, goals and expectations, forms of private – public partnerships. By using seven relevant variables, the firms are grouped into five categories. The same firms have been contacted after one month, to assess results, level of satisfaction and willingness to participate in a next edition.

This theory leads to a chiral current algebra over the noncommutative space and reproduces the correct perturbative Hilbert space and excitation energies for the fermions. The validity of the method is demonstrated by bosonizing a two-dimensional gas of fermions in a harmonic trap.

description: The increasing share of volatile renewable electricity production motivates demand response. Substantial potential for demand response is offered by flexible processes and their local multi-energy supply systems. Simultaneous optimization of their schedules can exploit the demand response potential, but leads to numerically challenging problems for nonlinear dynamic processes. In this paper, we propose to capture process dynamics using dynamic ramping constraints. In contrast to traditional static ramping constraints, dynamic ramping constraints are a function of the process state and can capture high-order dynamics. We derive dynamic ramping constraints rigorously for the case of single-input single-output processes that are exactly input-state linearizable. The resulting scheduling problem can be efficiently solved as a mixed-integer linear program. In a case study, we study two flexible reactors and a multi-energy system. The proper representation of process dynamics by dynamic ramping allows for faster transitions compared to static ramping constraints and thus higher economic benefits of demand response. The proposed dynamic ramping approach is sufficiently fast for application in online optimization.

description: An exact solution is obtained in the tetrad theory of gravitation. This solution is characterized by two-parameters $k_1, k_2$ of spherically symmetric static Lorentzian wormhole which is obtained as a solution of the equation $ρ=ρ_t=0$ with $ρ=T_{i,j}u^iu^j$, $ρ_t=(T_{ij}-\displaystyle{1 \over 2}Tg_{ij}) u^iu^j$ where $u^iu_i=-1$. From this solution which contains an arbitrary function we can generates the other two solutions obtained before. The associated metric of this spacetime is a static Lorentzian wormhole and it includes the Schwarzschild black hole, a family of naked singularity and a disjoint family of Lorentzian wormholes. Calculate the energy content of this tetrad field using the gravitational energy-momentum given by Møller in teleparallel spacetime we find that the resulting form depends on the arbitrary function and does not depend on the two parameters $k_1$ and $k_2$ characterize the wormhole. Using the regularized expression of the gravitational energy-momentum we get the value of energy does not depend on the arbitrary function.

description: Let $p$ be a prime. We produce two new families of pro-$p$ groups which are not realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields. To prove this we use the 1-smoothness property of absolute Galois pro-$p$ groups. Moreover, we show in these families one has one-relator pro-$p$ groups which may not be ruled out as absolute Galois groups employing the quadraticity of Galois cohomology (a consequence of Rost-Voevodsky Theorem), or the vanishing of Massey products in Galois cohomology.

description: Confounding remains one of the major challenges to causal inference with observational data. This problem is paramount in medicine, where we would like to answer causal questions from large observational datasets like electronic health records (EHRs) and administrative claims. Modern medical data typically contain tens of thousands of covariates. Such a large set carries hope that many of the confounders are directly measured, and further hope that others are indirectly measured through their correlation with measured covariates. How can we exploit these large sets of covariates for causal inference? To help answer this question, this paper examines the performance of the large-scale propensity score (LSPS) approach on causal analysis of medical data. We demonstrate that LSPS may adjust for indirectly measured confounders by including tens of thousands of covariates that may be correlated with them. We present conditions under which LSPS removes bias due to indirectly measured confounders, and we show that LSPS may avoid bias when inadvertently adjusting for variables (like colliders) that otherwise can induce bias. We demonstrate the performance of LSPS with both simulated medical data and real medical data.

The image of the ring of integers of L under the trace map from L to K is an ideal in the ring of integers in K. We compute the absolute norm of this ideal exactly for any such L/K, thereby sharpening an earlier result of Kurt Girstmair. Furthermore, we define an "adjusted trace map" that allows the proof of Leopoldt's Theorem to be reduced to the cyclotomic case.

description: This research was conceptualized to investigate the potential impact of contracts on the sustainability of the bottled tawilis supply chain, i.e. sustainability in terms of environmental protection, well-being of the people whose livelihood depends on tawilis production, processing and marketing; and enhanced economic gains from the chain. A survey amongst fishermen, middlemen and processors was performed in the lake Taal area. The study concludes that formal contracts, with specific demands to gear used and the handling of fish, may stimulate the catch of minimum and uniform sized fish. Such contracts may also stimulate delivery of higher quality fish by fishermen. These contracts thereby enhance sustainable fishing and increase in fishermen’s income. Direct (win-win) contracts between processors and fishermen seem to be the best way to stimulate delivery of sustainably catched fish. Government should strongly increase enforcement of sustainable fishing practices and stimulate contracting for sustainable fishing in this chain.

description: The dynamic spectrum of a radio pulsar is an in-line digital hologram of the ionised interstellar medium. It has previously been demonstrated that such holograms permit image reconstruction, in the sense that one can determine an approximation to the complex electric field values as a function of Doppler-shift and delay, but to date the quality of the reconstructions has been poor. Here we report a substantial improvement in the method which we have achieved by simultaneous optimisation of the thousands of coefficients that describe the electric field. For our test spectrum of PSR B0834+06 we find that the model provides an accurate representation of the data over the full 63 dB dynamic range of the observations: residual differences between model and data are noise-like. The advent of interstellar holography enables detailed quantitative investigation of the interstellar radio-wave propagation paths for a given pulsar at each epoch of observation; we illustrate this using our test data which show the scattering material to be structured and highly anisotropic. The temporal response of the medium exhibits a scattering tail out to beyond 100 microsec and a pulse arrival time measurement at this frequency and this epoch of observation would be affected by a mean delay of 15 microsec due to multipath propagation in the interstellar medium.

description: This study analyzes the climate change and economic impacts of food waste in the United States. Using loss-adjusted national food availability data for 134 food commodities, it calculates the greenhouse gas emissions due to wasted food using life cycle assessment and the economic cost of the waste using retail prices. The analysis shows that avoidable food waste in the US exceeds 55 million metric tonnes per year, nearly 29% of annual production. This waste produces life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of at least 113 million metric tonnes of CO2e annually, equivalent to 2% of national emissions, and costs $198 billion.

description: The article studies the signs of the Dutch disease in the transformation of institutions for the distribution of oil rent in conditions of the northern resource-producing region. The composition of the institutions of the oil rent distribution is determined by the level (scale) of their actions and the degree of formalization of norms and rules. The transformation of institutions over 2000–2018, during which the signs of the Dutch disease can be observed, is revealed. It is proved that formalization and politicization of the institutions of the oil rent distribution occur under the influence of the Dutch disease. Incentives for rent-seeking behavior also enhance.

description: We analyze and fit visible spectra of a red horizon at sunrise. The shape of the spectra consist of a blue continuum followed by a red bump. The reddest spectra are well fitted by the product of a spectrum of extinguished sunlight (Rayleigh extinction + ozone absorption) and 1/lambda^4. The former is essentially the radiation field in the outer atmosphere, at the scattering volume location; the latter corresponds to Rayleigh scattering by the gas. Moving to higher altitudes, a second component, corresponding to the spectrum of a blue sky, must be added. The spectra we have obtained are similar to spectra of red nebulae, suggesting there may be other explanations than an emission process to the red color of some nebulae.

description: Iran's simple and environmentally extended commodity by commodity input-output (IO) model was used to determine the impacts of dietary changes on the Iranian economy and on the environmental load. The original model is based on the status-quo diet and was modified to include the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and Mediterranean alternative dietary scenarios. A range of impacts occurred depending upon the relative changes in food items. The direction of changes was similar in the three alternative scenarios. The greatest and smallest impact occurred in the WHO and the Mediterranean scenarios respectively. Total changes in output in WHO, WCRF and Mediterranean dietary scenarios were calculated to be 7010.1, 4802.8 and 3330.8 billion Rials respectively. The outputs of rice, vegetables, fruit, bread and macaroni decreased, but those of live and other animal products increased. The output of non-food commodities and services increased as well. The environmental load increased for three dietary scenarios in comparison with the status-quo diet. The greatest and smallest environmental load occurred in WHO and Mediterranean dietary scenarios respectively. Thus, although dietary changes can have positive effects on economic output, in order to avoid negative environmental effects, it is necessary to consider strategies such as applying capabilities, particularly natural resources in an optimal healthy and environmentally diet, planning for improving forest covering and green space simultaneously with increasing economic activities and using indirect incentives, such as taxes and insurance, for promoting sustainable and healthy foods and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

description: We propose to relax geometries throughout chemical compound space (CCS) using alchemical perturbation density functional theory (APDFT). APDFT refers to perturbation theory involving changes in nuclear charges within approximate solutions to Schrödinger's equation. We give an analytical formula to calculate the mixed second order energy derivatives with respect to both, nuclear charges and nuclear positions (named "alchemical force"), within the restricted Hartree-Fock case. We have implemented and studied the formula for its use in geometry relaxation of various reference and target molecules. We have also analysed the convergence of the alchemical force perturbation series, as well as basis set effects. Interpolating alchemically predicted energies, forces, and Hessian to a Morse potential yields more accurate geometries and equilibrium energies than when performing a standard Newton Raphson step. Our numerical predictions for small molecules including BF, CO, N2, CH$_4$, NH$_3$, H$_2$O, and HF yield mean absolute errors of of equilibrium energies and bond lengths smaller than 10 mHa and 0.01 Bohr for 4$^\text{th}$ order APDFT predictions, respectively. Our alchemical geometry relaxation still preserves the combinatorial efficiency of APDFT: Based on a single coupled perturbed Hartree Fock derivative for benzene we provide numerical predictions of equilibrium energies and relaxed structures of all the 17 iso-electronic charge-netural BN-doped mutants with averaged absolute deviations of $\sim$27 mHa and $\sim$0.12 Bohr, respectively.

description: Non-thermal emission from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) jets extends up-to large scales in-spite of them being prone to a slew of magneto-hydrodynamic instabilities. The main focus of this study is to understand the impact of MHD instabilities on the non-thermal emission from large-scale AGN jets. We perform high-resolution three-dimensional numerical magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of a plasma column to investigate the dynamical and emission properties of jet configurations at kilo-parsec scales with different magnetic field profiles, jet speeds, and density contrast. We also obtain synthetic non-thermal emission signatures for different viewing angles using an approach that assumes static particle spectra and that obtained by evolving the particle spectra using Lagrangian macro-particles incorporating the effects of shock acceleration and radiative losses. We find that the shocks due to Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability in the axial magnetic field configurations can strongly affect the jet dynamics. Additionally, we also find the presence of weak biconical shocks in the under-dense jet columns. The inclusion of a helical magnetic field hinders the vortex growth at the shear surface thereby stabilizing the jet column. With the evolving particle spectra approach, the synthetic SEDs obtained for cases with strong KH instability show the presence of multiple humps ranging from radio to TeV gamma-ray band. We conclude that the high-energy electrons accelerated in the vicinity of freshly formed shocks due to KH instability, result in high X-ray emission.

description: The Kentucky Department of Highways in cooperation with the Bureau of Public Roads is conducting a continuing investigation of the fundamental mechanical properties of flexible pavement materials. The ultimate objective of this investigation is to gain sufficient knowledge of the fundamental mechanical behavior of these materials to support the establishment of a responsive flexible pavement design procedure.  A preliminary report, issued in 1964, contained the results of the preparatory phase of this investigation. This report summarized from a theoretical point of view efforts that had been made to quantify the mechanical response of viscoelastic materials to known conditions of loading. In addition, it described the development of a rotating coaxial cylinder viscometer which was designed to measure the creep response in shear of solid or semi-solid bituminous materials. The usefulness of this viscometer was verified by testing a rubberized asphalt cement at several temperature and torque levels. It was found that rubber, when added to the asphalt cement in significant quantities, tended to increase, at the higher temperatures, the steady-state viscosity, the stiffness, the retardation time of the viscoelastic response, and the complexity of flow.  The current report summarizes results of a second phase of the continuing investigation in which the preparatory efforts have been expanded to encompass the creep testing of 13 asphalt cements in a second rotating coaxial cylinder viscometer. The 13 asphalt cements were selected to represent a variety of crude sources, penetration grades, and manufacturing processes. Design and construction of the viscometer, which were accomplished as a portion of this phase, reflect the basic features of the earlier viscometer modified on the basis of the recommendations contained in the first report.  In analyzing the data reported herein, efforts were made to apply existing theories for simple ideal materials such as the Newtonian liquid and the Bingham plastic whenever these theories produced results in reasonable accord with the actual data. In many instances, however, it was necessary to combine these simple theories with somewhat more complex concepts of linear visco-elasticity in order to adequately characterize the deformation properties of the materials.

description: The classical shadow estimation protocol is a noise-resilient and sample-efficient quantum algorithm for learning the properties of quantum systems. Its performance depends on the choice of a unitary ensemble, which must be chosen by a user in advance. What is the weakest assumption that can be made on the chosen unitary ensemble that would still yield meaningful and interesting results? To address this question, we consider the class of Pauli-invariant unitary ensembles, i.e. unitary ensembles that are invariant under multiplication by a Pauli operator. This class includes many previously studied ensembles like the local and global Clifford ensembles as well as locally scrambled unitary ensembles. For this class of ensembles, we provide an explicit formula for the reconstruction map corresponding to the shadow channel and give explicit sample complexity bounds. In addition, we provide two applications of our results. Our first application is to locally scrambled unitary ensembles, where we give explicit formulas for the reconstruction map and sample complexity bounds that circumvent the need to solve an exponential-sized linear system. Our second application is to the classical shadow tomography of quantum channels with Pauli-invariant unitary ensembles. Our results pave the way for more efficient or robust protocols for predicting important properties of quantum states, such as their fidelity, entanglement entropy, and quantum Fisher information.

description: The Highway Beautification Act of 1965, Public Law 89-285, has as one of its main purposes "the control of outdoor advertising along interstate and all Federally aided primary highways "in order to protect "the public investment in such highways, to promote the safety and recreational value of public travel and "to preserve natural beauty." The Secretary of Commerce, in cooperation with the state highway departments, was authorized to make a comprehensive study of the economic impact of such legislation on affected individuals and commercial and industrial enterprises.

description: The benefits of developing and releasing salinity-tolerant and phosphorous-deficiency-tolerant rice in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and the Philippines were estimated for marker-assisted breeding as compared to conventional breeding using economic surplus analysis. Marker-assisted breeding is estimated to save at least 2 to 3 years in the breeding cycle and result in incremental benefits over 25 years in the range of $300 to $800 million depending on the country, stress, and time lags. Salinity and phosphorous deficient soils are difficult problems to solve through conventional breeding because of “genetic load” or undesirable traits that accompany desirable ones during backcrossing. MAB, enabled by advances in genomics and molecular mapping is more precise and hence time-saving. Solving salinity and P-deficiency problems is important, regardless of whether MAB or CB is used, as the cumulative benefits are at least $220 million and as much as $4 billion over the next 25 years depending on the problem and country.

description: Социально-политические, социально-экономические и социокультурные изменения, происходящие во всем мире последнее десятилетие ХХ1 века, актуализировали проблемы нравственности вообще, и патриотизма, в частности. Использование авторами в историко-педагогической работе парадигмального подхода позволил комплексно осмыслить исторический опыт. Статья посвящена государственным приоритетам в области правового просвещения граждан дореволюционной России. Цель исследования заключалась в историко-педагогическом анализе государственной политики того исторического периода, закрепленного в нормативно-правовых документах по формированию национального правосознания граждан, воспитанию нравственных начал и патриотизма. Исследование было ориентировано на поиск и описание главных педагогических задач, касающихся повышения нравственного и патриотического духа граждан. Важно было не только определить субъекта воспитания в истории России, но и изучить нормативно-правовую основу государственной политики, направленной на воспитание и развитие коллективного национального правосознания.

description: This paper empirically investigates the determinants of firms’ performance in the agri-food sector by using recent survey data for Denmark. Treating sales per employee as a proxy for value addition we estimate several bootstrapped regression models to draw conclusions on the marginal effects of potential performance determinants such as the form and nature of ownership, stage of the food chain and commodity sector, new product development, staff quality, firms’ competitive stance, and elements of firms’ strategy. To draw robust inferences we apply, besides the ordinary heteroscedasticity corrected Tobit ML-estimator, a nonparametric least absolute deviations estimator (LAD/CLAD) based on a quantile regression procedure. The results indicate that we cannot reject the hypothesis of no influence of dominant orientation on value added. Rather, firms’ focus on human capital, stage and commodity sector better explains their value addition. We can reject the hypothesis that regional networks have no influence on value added. Differences in location, emphasis on human capital and the negative influence of outsourcing on value added all provide supporting evidence. We reject the hypothesis of no influence of FDI, and moreover propose that FDI has targeted the domestic Danish market as a source of value added.

description: A systematic method for determining order parameters for quantum many-body systems on lattices is developed by utilizing reduced density matrices. This method allows one to extract the order parameter directly from the wave functions of the degenerate ground states without aid of empirical knowledge, and thus opens a way to explore unknown exotic orders. The applicability of this method is demonstrated numerically or rigorously in models which are considered to exhibit dimer, scalar chiral, and topological orders.
