description: Despite the industrial importance of dense suspensions of hard particles, few constitutive models for them have been proposed or tested. Most of these are effectively "fabric evolution models" (FEMs) based on a stress rule connecting the bulk stress to a rank-2 microstructural fabric tensor Q and a closed time-evolution equation for Q. In dense suspensions most of the stress comes from short-ranged pairwise steric or lubrication interactions at near-contacts, so a natural choice for Q is the deviatoric 2nd moment of the distribution P(p) of the near-contact orientations p. Here we test directly whether a closed time-evolution equation for such a Q can exist for inertialess non-Brownian hard spheres in a Newtonian solvent. We perform extensive numerical simulations for the evolution of P(p) under shear reversal, providing a stringent test for FEMs. We consider a generic class of these as defined by Hand (1962) constrained only by frame indifference. Motivated by the small microstructural anisotropy in the dense regime, we start with linear models and successively consider increasingly nonlinear ones. Based on these results we suggest that no closed FEM properly describes the dynamics of Q under reversal. We attribute this to the fact that Q gives a poor description of the microstructure during large parts of the microstructural evolution following shear reversal. Specifically, the truncation of P(p) at 2nd spherical harmonic level describes two-lobed distributions of near-contact orientations, whereas on reversal we observe distributions that are markedly four-lobed; moreover dP/dt (p) has oblique axes, not collinear with those of Q in the shear plane. This structure likely precludes any adequate closure at second-rank level. Instead, our numerical data suggest that closures involving the coupled evolution of both a fabric tensor and a fourth-rank tensor might be reasonably accurate.

description: La fonction d’audit interne est considérée comme un pilier fondamental des systèmes de contrôle interne au sein des institutions, qu’elles soient financières ou non financières. Bien qu'il fasse partie intégrante de ces systèmes, son rôle est crucial dans l'évaluation de l'efficacité et de l'efficience des autres composantes du contrôle interne, en tant qu'un élément de la gouvernance. Le rôle du département d'audit interne dans les banques islamiques et ses exigences constituent un domaine de recherche crucial. Cette étude explore le rôle de contrôle de l'audit interne et ses implications dans le contexte bancaire islamique. En examinant les pratiques actuelles, elle met en lumière l'importance de l'indépendance de l'audit interne, son engagement à respecter les normes internationales, et sa capacité à s'adapter aux principes de la charia. Les résultats soulignent la nécessité d'une communication transparente entre l'audit interne la direction et les organes de la gouvernance pour assurer l'efficacité des processus de contrôle interne. De plus, l'étude met en avant la nécessité d'une formation spécialisée pour les auditeurs internes qui travaillent dans des environnements bancaires islamiques afin de mieux comprendre les exigences particulières de conformité et de gestion des risques dans ces institutions. En synthèse, cette recherche met en évidence l'importance du rôle de contrôle de l'audit interne dans les banques islamiques et les mesures nécessaires pour renforcer sa contribution à la gouvernance et à la conformité avec les principes islamiques.

description: In a galaxy redshift survey the objects to be targeted for spectra are selected from a photometrically observed sample. The observed magnitudes and colours of galaxies in this parent sample will be affected by their peculiar velocities, through relativistic Doppler and relativistic beaming effects. In this paper we compute the resulting expected changes in galaxy photometry. The magnitudes of the relativistic effects are a function of redshift, stellar mass, galaxy velocity and velocity direction. We focus on the CMASS sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is selected on the basis of colour and magnitude. We find that 0.10\% of the sample ($\sim 585$ galaxies) has been scattered into the targeted region of colour-magnitude space by relativistic effects, and conversely 0.09\% of the sample ($\sim 532$ galaxies) has been scattered out. Observational consequences of these effects include an asymmetry in clustering statistics, which we explore in a companion paper. Here we compute a set of weights which can be used to remove the effect of modulations introduced into the density field inferred from a galaxy sample. We conclude by investigating the possible effects of these relativistic modulation on large scale clustering of the galaxy sample.

fine sediments

description: In stony debris flow, it has been considered that the gravels move like laminar flow, but the interstitial water behave as turbulent flow. Moreover, fine particles can behave with the interstitial water as fluid and many previous studies call this process of fine sediment as shifting solid phase to fluid phase, “phase-shift”. Phase-shifted sediment affect the fluidity of debris flow. Therefore, it is necessary to consider fine sediments behavior to describe run-out processes of debris flow. However, the hydraulic conditions that fine sediment can behave as a fluid are not well understood. Here, we analyzed this hydraulic condition through flume experiments and numerical simulations. We examined effects of grain size distribution on the equilibrium sediment concentration, which has been defined as the sediment concentration that in which there is neither erosion nor deposition on the experimental flume bed. We found that for the same hydraulic conditions the equilibrium sediment concentration differed due to variations in the grain size distribution. Based on these experimental results, we tested the following three models for describing the conditions that fine sediment can behave as a fluid. First, we fixed fine sediment concentration in interstitial fluid (Model 1), then, we fixed the maximum diameter of phase-shifted sediment (Dc) (Model 2). In Model 3, Dc is assumed to be variable according to the ratio of the friction velocity to the settling velocity of Dc. As the result, the experimental relationship between grain size distribution and longitudinal gradient of deposited sediment surface under steady-state condition can be described by using the Models 2 and 3, but Model 1 could not describe.

description: Aims: To assess the real-world healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs associated with different treatment regimens used in the management of patients with relapsed multiple myeloma in the UK, France, and Italy. Methods: Retrospective medical chart review of characteristics, time to progression, level of response, HRU during treatment, and adverse events (AEs). Data collection started on June 1, 2015 and was completed on July 15, 2015. In the 3 months before record abstraction, eligible patients had either disease progression after receiving one of their country’s most commonly prescribed regimens or had received the best supportive care and died. Costs were calculated based on HRU and country-specific diagnosis-related group and/or unit reference costs, amongst other standard resources. Results: Physicians provided data for 1,282 patients (387 in the UK, 502 in France, 393 in Italy) who met the inclusion criteria. Mean [median] total healthcare costs associated with a single line of treatment were €51,717 [35,951] in the UK, €37,009 [32,538] for France, and €34,496 [42,342] for Italy, driven largely by anti-myeloma medications costs (contributing 95.0%, 90.0%, and 94.2% of total cost, respectively). During active treatment, the highest costs were associated with lenalidomide- and pomalidomide-based regimens. Mean cost per month was lowest for patients achieving a very good partial response or better. Unscheduled events (i.e. not considered part of routine management, whether or not related to multiple myeloma, such as unscheduled hospitalization, AEs, fractures) accounted for 1–9% of total costs and were highest for bendamustine. Limitations: The use of retrospective data means that clinical practice (e.g. use of medical procedures, evaluation of treatment response) is not standardized across participating countries/centers, and some data (e.g. low-grade AEs) may be incomplete or differently adjudicated/reported. The centers involved may not be fully representative of national practice. Conclusions: Drug costs are the main contributor to total HRU costs associated with multiple myeloma. The duration of active treatment may influence the average total costs, as well as response, associated with a single line of therapy. Improved treatment outcomes, and reductions in unscheduled events and concomitant medication use may, therefore, reduce the overall HRU and related costs of care in multiple myeloma.
A universal relation for the propeller mechanisms in magnetic rotating stars at different scales

description: Accretion of matter onto a magnetic, rotating object can be strongly affected by the interaction with its magnetic field. This occurs in a variety of astrophysical settings involving young stellar objects, white dwarfs, and neutron stars. As matter is endowed with angular momentum, its inflow toward the star is often mediated by an accretion disc. The pressure of matter and that originating from the stellar magnetic field balance at the magnetospheric radius: at smaller distances the motion of matter is dominated by the magnetic field, and funnelling towards the magnetic poles ensues. However, if the star, and thus its magnetosphere, is fast spinning, most of the inflowing matter will be halted at the magnetospheric radius by centrifugal forces, resulting in a characteristic reduction of the accretion luminosity. The onset of this mechanism, called the propeller, has been widely adopted to interpret a distinctive knee in the decaying phase of the light curve of several transiently accreting X-ray pulsar systems. By comparing the observed luminosity at the knee for different classes of objects with the value predicted by accretion theory on the basis of the independently measured magnetic field, spin-period, mass, and radius of the star, we disclose here a general relation for the onset of the propeller which spans about eight orders of magnitude in spin period and ten in magnetic moment. The parameter-dependence and normalisation constant that we determine are in agreement with basic accretion theory.

description: This paper addresses territorial servitization in manufacturing systems of small and medium-sized enterprises, introducing a framework for the interpretation of changes in local productive configurations and the assessment of territorial servitization trajectories. It includes three main variables: multiplicity of know-hows, transaction costs and the entrepreneurial drive. Moreover, it proposes a mixed methodology that elaborates proxies of these variables for empirical analysis. The methodology is tested by investigating the changing features of an archetypal case of Italian industrial district, the textile district of Prato, throughout the period 2005–13. Different scenarios seem to open up, highlighting the opportunities and difficulties of transition to strong territorial servitization trajectories.

description: We investigate an end-to-end method for automatically inducing task-based dialogue systems from small amounts of unannotated dialogue data. It combines an incremental semantic grammar - Dynamic Syntax and Type Theory with Records (DS-TTR) - with Reinforcement Learning (RL), where language generation and dialogue management are a joint decision problem. The systems thus produced are incremental: dialogues are processed word-by-word, shown previously to be essential in supporting natural, spontaneous dialogue. We hypothesised that the rich linguistic knowledge within the grammar should enable a combinatorially large number of dialogue variations to be processed, even when trained on very few dialogues. Our experiments show that our model can process 74% of the Facebook AI bAbI dataset even when trained on only 0.13% of the data (5 dialogues). It can in addition process 65% of bAbI+, a corpus we created by systematically adding incremental dialogue phenomena such as restarts and self-corrections to bAbI. We compare our model with a state-of-the-art retrieval model, MemN2N. We find that, in terms of semantic accuracy, MemN2N shows very poor robustness to the bAbI+ transformations even when trained on the full bAbI dataset.

description: In today’s globalized world with dynamic processes of political, social, and societal change (Mergner et al., 2019) the university should be a place of encounter between people with different (cultural) backgrounds. The learning arrangement presented here therefore initiates intercultural exchange and aims to help students see diversity as an asset rather than a challenge (Roos, 2019). To this end, an intercultural project was initiated at TU Dortmund in Germany in 2017. In the context of different learning environments future teachers were invited to have encounters with young newcomers through a nearly completely self‐managed learning arrangement. The students were prepared for the encounters in focused courses dealing with theoretical backgrounds and didactic concepts. They would then prepare the lessons with the newcomers. In the context of this learning arrangement the following questions were important: What did the university students expect with regard to the encounter with newcomer students from schools? How did they prepare the lessons? What did students and newcomers think about the encounters later? What have they learned? And what do these reflections mean for inclusive and intercultural teacher education at universities? In the project we could observe that the didactic approach supports the students’ level of sensitivity towards differences and encourages future teachers to train the education of newcomers in a non‐judgmental framework (Bartz & Bartz, 2018). Based on a selection of qualitative empirical findings (ethnographic approach during six lessons in a period of two years and 147 interviews including the students’ and newcomers’ points of view about their learning encounters at TU Dortmund), this article discusses opportunities to create more innovative spaces for inclusive practices and cultures under the restricted terms of a mass university.

description: Trap models have been initially proposed as toy models for dynamical relaxation in extremely simplified rough potential energy landscapes. Their importance has considerably grown recently thanks to the discovery that the trap like aging mechanism is directly controlling the out-of-equilibrium relaxation processes of more sophisticated spin models, that are considered as the solvable counterpart of real disordered systems. Establishing on a firmer ground the connection between these spin model out-of-equilibrium behavior and the trap like aging mechanism would shed new light on the properties, still largely mysterious, of the activated out-of-equilibrium dynamics of disordered systems. In this work we discuss numerical evidences of emergent trap-like aging behavior in a variety of disordered models. Our numerical results are backed by analytic derivations and heuristic discussions. Such exploration reveals some of the tricks needed to analyze the trap behavior in spite of the occurrence of secondary processes, of the existence of dynamical correlations and of finite system's size effects.

description: Wooden construction elements often exhibit lower life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than conventional counterparts (‘material substitution effect’). Moreover, the building stock represents a carbon (C) sink if timber inflows (construction) surpass outflows (demolition) (‘C-stock effect’). A dynamic stock model incorporating these effects is applied to quantify potential climate benefits of wood construction in Austria's residential building sector. If present trends are maintained, culminating in a wood construction share (WCS) of 50% during 2050-2100, building shells could contain three times as much C in 2100 as today. Annual timber demand for residential construction could double, but would remain well below Austria's current net exports. Compared to a baseline scenario with constant WCS (22%), cumulated GHG savings from material substitution until 2050 are estimated 2 to 4.2 Tg CO2-equivalent – clearly less than savings from C-stock expansion (9.2 Tg). Savings from both effects would double in a highly ambitious scenario (WCS=80% during 2050-2100). The applied ’Stock Change Approach’ is consistent with IPCC Guidelines, but the above-mentioned savings from C-stock changes would not materialize under the current default GHG inventory accounting approach. Moreover, savings from C-stock effects must eventually be weighed against forest C-stock changes, as growing domestic demand might stimulate wood harvesting.

description: Abstract: The use of roundabout intersections, regardless of the environment in which they are built (extra-urban, urban or rural), brings substantial benefits to road traffic. These benefits consist in improving the flow of road traffic by increasing the volume of vehicles passing through such an intersection, increasing the level of safety, decreasing the number and severity of undesirable events (road accidents). This scientific paper represents in an elegant and logical manner a research, but also a personal point of view of the authors on roundabout intersections as a basic element of modern road infrastructure and traffic. In this way, those interested can learn from the context of the work about certain interpretations, definitions, concepts, constructive elements, geometry, design concepts, dimensional values of elements, formulas for calculating capacity and the main elements influencing the capacity of vehicle throughput, classifications, characteristics, advantages, access rules, vehicle traffic rules and the stages of designing roundabout intersections. It also presents a case study of some roundabout intersections that have a special design (turboroundabout, tear-type roundabout and magic-type roundabout). Conclusions drawn on the basis of the research data are presented at the end of the paper.

De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: The expOU stochastic volatility model is capable of reproducing fairly well most important statistical properties of financial markets daily data. Among them, the presence of multiple time scales in the volatility autocorrelation is perhaps the most relevant which makes appear fat tails in the return distributions. This paper wants to go further on with the expOU model we have studied in Ref. 1 by exploring an aspect of practical interest. Having as a benchmark the parameters estimated from the Dow Jones daily data, we want to compute the price for the European option. This is actually done by Monte Carlo, running a large number of simulations. Our main interest is to "see" the effects of a long-range market memory from our expOU model in its subsequent European call option. We pay attention to the effects of the existence of a broad range of time scales in the volatility. We find that a richer set of time scales brings to a higher price of the option. This appears in clear contrast to the presence of memory in the price itself which makes the price of the option cheaper.

description: Organized Autotelescopes for Serendipitous Event Survey (OASES) is an optical observation project that aims to detect and investigate stellar occultation events by kilometer-sized trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). In this project, multiple low-cost observation systems for wide-field and high-speed photometry were developed in order to detect rare and short-timescale stellar occultation events. The observation system consists of commercial off-the-shelf $0.28 \ {\rm m}$ aperture $f/1.58$ optics providing a $2.3 \times 1.8$ square-degree field of view. A commercial CMOS camera is coupled to the optics to obtain full-frame imaging with a frame rate greater than $10 \ {\rm Hz}$. As of September 2016, this project exploits two observation systems, which are installed on Miyako Island, Okinawa, Japan. Recent improvements in CMOS technology in terms of high-speed imaging and low readout noise mean that the observation systems are capable of monitoring $\sim 2000$ stars in the Galactic plane simultaneously with magnitudes down to ${\rm V} \sim 13.0$, providing $\sim 20\%$ photometric precision in light curves with a sampling cadence of $15.4 \ {\rm Hz}$. This number of monitored stars is larger than for any other existing instruments for coordinated occultation surveys. In addition, a precise time synchronization method needed for simultaneous occultation detection is developed using faint meteors. The two OASES observation systems are executing coordinated monitoring observations of a dense stellar field in order to detect occultations by kilometer-sized TNOs for the first time.

description: With the widely application of liquid biopsy and the development of detection technology, the standardization of pre-analysis procedures is necessary. For controlling pre-analysis variation of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood samples, the blood collection tubes for ctDNA preservation particularly contribute a lot. The objective of this study was to investigate whether ImproGene® Cell Free DNA Tube (ImproGene tube) can be used in sample collection, preservation and NGS based mutation detection for ctDNA. We investigated hemolysis and cell free DNA (cfDNA) concentration of blood samples stored in ImproGene tubes and detected β-actin, LINE1 and exogenous gene level by qPCR. We compared cfDNA and RNA quantity between samples in ImproGene tube and Streck Cell-Free DNA BCT® (Streck tube). And 10 gene mutations and three fusion mutations analysis were compared by sequencing. When stored at room temperature within 7 days in ImproGene tubes, blood samples had no visible hemolysis and the cfDNA concentration, levels of β-actin, LINE1 and exogenous gene remained stable which means no genomic DNA release and cfDNA was protected. There was no significant difference in cfDNA and RNA quantity between ImproGene tubes and Streck tubes. Furthermore, based on this limited data set, ImproGene tubes showed increased detection rates of low-level mutations. Therefore, ImproGene Cell Free DNA Tubes may have promising applications in sample collection, preservation and NGS based mutation detection for ctDNA by its good preservation performance.

description: We present spatially extended gas kinematics at parsec-scale resolution for the nuclear regions of four nearby disk galaxies, and model them as rotation of a gas disk in the joint potential of the stellar bulge and a putative central black hole. The targets were selected from a larger set of long-slit spectra obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Survey of Nearby Nuclei with STIS (SUNNS). They represents the 4 galaxies (of 24) that display symmetric gas velocity curves consistent with a rotating disk. We derive the stellar mass distribution from the STIS acquisition images adopting the stellar mass-to-light ratio normalized so as to match ground-based velocity dispersion measurements over a large aperture. Subsequently, we constrain the mass of a putative black hole by matching the gas rotation curve, following two distinct approaches. In the most general case we explore all the possible disk orientations, alternatively we constrain the gas disk orientation from the dust-lane morphology at similar radii. In the latter case the kinematic data indicate the presence of a central black hole for three of the four objects, with masses of 10^7 - 10^8 solar masses, representing up to 0.025 % of the host bulge mass. For one object (NGC2787) the kinematic data alone provide clear evidence for the presence of a central black hole even without external constraints on the disk orientation. These results illustrate directly the need to determine black-hole masses by differing methods for a large number of objects, demonstrate that the variance in black hole/bulge mass is much larger than previously claimed, and reinforce the recent finding that the black-hole mass is tightly correlated with the bulge stellar velocity dispersion.

description: The present assess the green house gas (GHG) emission from cultivation over the past 50 years in India. Emission has increased by 161% over 50 years from 14.81 TgCE/year (0.12 tCE ha−1yr−1) in 1960 to 38.71 TgCE/year (0.28 tCE ha−1yr−1) by 2010. This is due to increase in the use of inputs primarily; chemical nitrogen fertilizer, shifting from conventional animal and human energy sources to carbon-intensive diesel and electricity-dependent machineries. It is also due to 16% decrease in area of less carbon-intensive coarse cereals and 22% increase in rice cultivation. Among crops, rice recorded maximum emission (23.75 Tg CE/ha) while it was lowest in redgram (2.98 Tg CE/ha). Nitrogen among inputs, accounted for 92 and 83% emission between 1960 and 2010 respectively while, nitrogen use efficiency declined, suggesting loss of added nitrogen to atmosphere as N2O. Methane accounted for 90 and 58% of emission over 1960 and 2010, respectively, indicating a declining trend over the years. Thus, amending nitrogen fertilizer use and measures to reduce methane emission alone can substantially reduce the carbon footprint of the crop cultivation process. There is also ample scope for reducing emissions from energy sources.

description: We study the heat generation in a nano-device with an electric current passing through the device. For the first time, a general formula for the heat generation is derived by using the nonequilibrium Keldysh Green functions. This formula can be applied in both the linear and nonlinear transport regions, for time-dependent systems, and with multi-terminal devices. The formula is also valid when the nano-device contains various interactions. As an application of the formula, the heat generation of a lead-quantum dot-lead system is investigated. The dc and ac biases are studied in detail. We find several interesting behaviors that are unique to nanostructures, revealing significant difference from heat generation in macroscopic systems.

description: Large redshift surveys of galaxies and clusters are providing the first opportunities to search for distortions in the observed pattern of large-scale structure due to such effects as gravitational redshift. We focus on non-linear scales and apply a quasi-Newtonian approach using N-body simulations to predict the small asymmetries in the cross-correlation function of two galaxy different populations. Following recent work by Bonvin et al., Zhao and Peacock and Kaiser on galaxy clusters, we include effects which enter at the same order as gravitational redshift: the transverse Doppler effect, light-cone effects, relativistic beaming, luminosity distance perturbation and wide-angle effects. We find that all these effects cause asymmetries in the cross-correlation functions. Quantifying these asymmetries, we find that the total effect is dominated by the gravitational redshift and luminosity distance perturbation at small and large scales, respectively. By adding additional subresolution modelling of galaxy structure to the large-scale structure information, we find that the signal is significantly increased, indicating that structure on the smallest scales is important and should be included. We report on comparison of our simulation results with measurements from the SDSS/BOSS galaxy redshift survey in a companion paper.

description: We show that the ``boundary crossing-unitarity equation" recently proposed by Ghoshal and Zamolodchikov is a consequence of the boundary bootstrap equation for the S-matrix and the wall-bootstrap equation. We solve this set of equations for all affine Toda theories related to simply laced Lie algebras, obtaining explicit formulas for the W-matrix which encodes the scattering of a particle with the boundary in the ground state. For each theory there are two solutions to these equations, related by CDD-ambiguities, each giving rise to different kind of physics.

Universal Conductance Fluctuations of Topological Insulators

description: As an exotic quantum condensed matter, the topological insulator (TI) is a bulk-insulating material with a Dirac-type conducting surface state. Such dissipationless transport of topological surface states (TSSs) is protected by the time-reversal symmetry, which leads to the potential applications in spintronics and quantum computations. Understanding the topological symplectic transport of the Dirac fermions is a key issue to study and design the TI-based devices. In this review, we introduce the progress on the universal conductance fluctuation (UCF) of TSSs. Firstly, we report the two dimensional UCF phenomenon in TIs, and its topological nature is demonstrated based on the investigations of UCF by angle-varying, in-plane field tuning and scaling analysis. Secondly, we discuss the statistical symmetry of UCF in TIs. For a single TSS, the applied magnetic field will drive the system from a Gaussian symplectic ensemble into a Gaussian unitary ensemble. It results a 2^0.5 fold increase of the UCF amplitude. However, the experiment reveals a decreasing of the UCF amplitude of 2^0.5 times. This is contradictory to the theoretical prediction. Actually, there are two TSSs and they are coherently coupled to each other in TIs since the sample's thickness is shorter than its bulk dephasing length. This leads to a Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of the interface coupling system without an external field. In such situation, the UCF amplitude will decrease by 2^0.5 times with the field increasing. It is consistent with the experimental results. Finally, the other progress on UCFs is also discussed.
