description: We demonstrate a strongly thresholded response in cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) when it is cylindrically shocked using a novel waveguide geometry. Using ultrafast single-shot multi-frame imaging, we demonstrate that <100-μm diameter single crystals of RDX embedded in a polymer host deform along preferential planes for >100 ns after the shock first arrives in the crystal. We use in-situ imaging and time-resolved photoemission to demonstrate that short-lived chemistry occurs with complex deformation pathways. Using scanning electron microscopy and ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering, we demonstrate that the shock-induced dynamics leave behind porous crystals, with pore shapes and sizes that change significantly with shock energy. A threshold pressure of ~ 12 GPa at the center of convergence separated the single-mode planar crystal deformations from the chemistry-coupled multi-plane dynamics at higher pressures. Our observations indicate preferential directions for deformation for our cylindrically shocked system, despite the applied stress along many different crystallographic planes.

description: Since the 1990s, the government of Bolivia has tried to introduce the concept of co-management in protected areas but only few positive experiences have been achieved. In 2007, the government made an earmarked commitment to support this initiative by strengthening and broadening policies related to participatory planning of protected areas. This paper contributes to this objective by investigating how Participatory Rural Appraisal and Planning (PRAP) can be used as a tool to enhance local planning capacity. PRAP is a participatory method that has been widely used in research and development interventions. In order to gain a better understanding of the usefulness of PRAP in the complex Bolivian situation, four communities located in the buffer zone of Carrasco National Park – the most threatened and biodiversity-rich protected areas in Bolivia – were selected as a multiple-case study application of PRAP. The results from this study show that PRAP was useful to enhance local planning capacity by giving participants a sense of ownership to local initiatives. However, there are also limitations like that unrealistic expectations may be created in the process. The paper terminates with a discussion on the potential challenges to enhance local planning capacity by using PRAP in buffer zones of protected areas in Bolivia.

description: Dynamic games are an effective paradigm for dealing with the control of multiple interacting actors. This paper introduces ALGAMES (Augmented Lagrangian GAME-theoretic Solver), a solver that handles trajectory optimization problems with multiple actors and general nonlinear state and input constraints. Its novelty resides in satisfying the first order optimality conditions with a quasi-Newton root-finding algorithm and rigorously enforcing constraints using an augmented Lagrangian formulation. We evaluate our solver in the context of autonomous driving on scenarios with a strong level of interactions between the vehicles. We assess the robustness of the solver using Monte Carlo simulations. It is able to reliably solve complex problems like ramp merging with three vehicles three times faster than a state-of-the-art DDP-based approach. A model predictive control (MPC) implementation of the algorithm demonstrates real-time performance on complex autonomous driving scenarios with an update frequency higher than 60 Hz.

description: Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors promise efficient (~100%) and fast (~Gcps) detection of light at the single-photon level. They constitute one of the building blocks to realize integrated quantum optical circuits in a waveguide architecture. The optical response of single-photon detectors, however, is limited to measure only the presence of photons. It misses the capability to resolve the spectrum of a possible broadband illumination. In this work, we propose the optical design for a superconducting nanowire single-photon spectrometer in an integrated optical platform. We exploit a cascade of cavities with different resonance wavelengths side-coupled to a photonic crystal bus waveguide. This allows to demultiplex different wavelengths into different spatial regions, where individual superconducting nanowires that measure the presence of single photons are placed next to these cavities. We employ temporal coupled-mode theory to derive the optimal conditions to achieve a high absorption efficiency in the nanowire with fine spectral resolution. It is shown that the use of a mirror at the end of the cascaded system that terminates the photonic crystal bus waveguide increases the absorption efficiency up to unity, in principle, in the absence of loss. The expected response is demonstrated by full-wave simulations for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures. Absorption efficiencies of about 80% are achieved both in two-dimensional structures for four cascaded cavities and in three-dimensional structures for two cascaded cavities. The achieved spectral resolution is about 1 nm. We expect that the proposed setup, both analytically studied and numerically demonstrated in this work, offers a great impetus for future quantum nanophotonic on-chip technologies.

description: We suggest a multifragmentation scenario in which fragments are produced at an early, high temperature and high density, stage of the reaction. In this scenario, self-bound clusters of particles in the hot and dense fluid are the precursors of the observed fragments. This solves a number of recurrent problems concerning the kinetic energies and the temperature of the fragments, encountered with the standard low density fragmentation picture. The possibility to recover the initial thermodynamic parameters from the inspection of the asymptotic fragment size and kinetic energy distributions is discussed.

Neutrino-nucleus cross sections for W-boson and trident production

description: The physics of neutrino-nucleus cross sections is a critical probe of the Standard Model and beyond. A precise understanding is also needed to accurately deduce astrophysical neutrino spectra. At energies above $\sim 5$ GeV, the cross section is dominated by deep inelastic scattering, mediated by weak bosons. In addition, there are subdominant processes where the hadronic coupling is through virtual photons, $γ^\ast$: (on-shell) $W$-boson production (e.g., where the underlying interaction is $ν_\ell + γ^\ast \rightarrow \ell^- + W^+$) and trident production (e.g., where it is $ν+ γ^\ast \rightarrow ν+ \ell_1^- + \ell_2^+$). These processes become increasingly relevant at TeV--PeV energies. We undertake the first systematic approach to these processes (and those with hadronic couplings through virtual $W$ and $Z$ bosons), treating them together, avoiding common approximations, considering all neutrino flavors and final states, and covering the energy range $10\,$--$10^8$ GeV. In particular, we present the first complete calculation of $W$-boson production and the first calculation of trident production at TeV--PeV energies. When we use the same assumptions as in prior work, we recover all of their major results. In a companion paper, we show that these processes should be taken into account for IceCube-Gen2.

description: We study null bulk geodesic motion in the brane world cosmology in the RS2 scenario and in the static universe in the bulk of the charged topological AdS black hole. We obtain equations describing the null bulk geodesic motion as observed in one lower dimensions. We find that the null geodesic motion in the bulk of the brane world cosmology in the RS2 scenario is observed to be under the additional influence of extra non-gravitational force by the observer on the three-brane, if the brane universe does not possess the Z_2 symmetry. As for the null geodesic motion in the static universe in the bulk of the charged AdS black hole, the extra force is realized even when the brane universe has the Z_2 symmetry.

description: Near natural forest management is performed by use of domestic tree species that are able to regenerate naturally. One of the long-term key objectives is to achieve more structural richness in the form of uneven-aged mixed species forests dependent on so-called forest development types that are allocated with support in ecological mapping. A goal of perfection or an ideal structure may be sought by replication of the normal forest structure that takes the form of an inverse J-shape when analysing the stem number ha-1 as a function of diameter. Here alternative approaches applying the extreme and mean ratio (1.61803) are developed with the purpose to describe and analyse the ideal or perfect structure of an uneven-aged forest of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) site index 1. The so-called golden ratio is applied for example in determining midpoints of diameter classes based on the assumption that the relation between the stem number ha-1 in adjacent diameter classes is equal to the golden ratio. Solutions are found by use of Markov chains through solution of recursive equations applying linear programming. Alternative approaches where the golden ratio is applied as a structural goal are analysed.

description: We propose a novel mechanism of the Kondo effect driven by a chirality imbalance (or chiral chemical potential) of relativistic light fermions. This effect is realized by the mixing between a right- or left-handed fermion and a heavy impurity in the chirality imbalanced matter even at zero density. This is different from the usual Kondo effect induced by finite density. We derive the Kondo effect from both a perturbative calculation and a mean-field approach. We also discuss the temperature dependence of the Kondo effect. The Kondo effect at nonzero chiral chemical potential can be tested by future lattice simulations.

description: Large-scale recommendation systems often adopt cascading architecture consisting of retrieval, pre-ranking, ranking, and re-ranking stages. With strict latency requirements, pre-ranking utilizes lightweight models to perform a preliminary selection from massive retrieved candidates. However, recent works focus solely on improving consistency with ranking, relying exclusively on downstream stages. Since downstream input is derived from the pre-ranking output, they will exacerbate the sample selection bias (SSB) issue and Matthew effect, leading to sub-optimal results. To address the limitation, we propose a novel Hybrid Cross-Stage Coordination Pre-ranking model (HCCP) to integrate information from upstream (retrieval) and downstream (ranking, re-ranking) stages. Specifically, cross-stage coordination refers to the pre-ranking's adaptability to the entire stream and the role of serving as a more effective bridge between upstream and downstream. HCCP consists of Hybrid Sample Construction and Hybrid Objective Optimization. Hybrid sample construction captures multi-level unexposed data from the entire stream and rearranges them to become the optimal guiding "ground truth" for pre-ranking learning. Hybrid objective optimization contains the joint optimization of consistency and long-tail precision through our proposed Margin InfoNCE loss. It is specifically designed to learn from such hybrid unexposed samples, improving the overall performance and mitigating the SSB issue. The appendix describes a proof of the efficacy of the proposed loss in selecting potential positives. Extensive offline and online experiments indicate that HCCP outperforms SOTA methods by improving cross-stage coordination. It contributes up to 14.9% UCVR and 1.3% UCTR in the JD E-commerce recommendation system. Concerning code privacy, we provide a pseudocode for reference.

description: The dynamics of magnetization under femtosecond optical excitation is studied in a ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga_{0.94}Mn_{0.06}As with a time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement with two color probe beams. The transient reflectivity change indicates the rapid rise of the carrier temperature and relaxation to a quasi-thermal equilibrium within 1 ps, while a very slow rise of the spin temperature of the order of 500ps is observed. This anomalous behavior originates from the thermal isolation between the charge and spin systems due to the spin polarization of carriers (holes) contributing to ferromagnetism. This constitutes experimental proof of the half-metallic nature of ferromagnetic Ga_{0.94}Mn_{0.06}As arising from double exchange type mechanism originates from the d-band character of holes.

description: We use quantum estimation theory to derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation in Markovian open quantum systems, which bounds the fluctuation of continuous measurements. The derived quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation holds for arbitrary continuous measurements satisfying a scaling condition. We derive two relations; the first relation bounds the fluctuation by the dynamical activity and the second one does so by the entropy production. We apply our bounds to a two-level atom driven by a laser field and a three-level quantum thermal machine with jump and diffusion measurements. Our result shows that there exists a universal bound upon the fluctuations, regardless of continuous measurements.

description: The primordial black hole (PBH) comprising full dark matter (DM) abundance is currently allowed if its mass lies between $10^{-16}M_{\odot} \lesssim M \lesssim 10^{-11} M_{\odot}$. This lightest mass range is hard to be probed by ongoing gravitational lensing observations. In this paper, we advocate that an old idea of the lensing parallax of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), observed simultaneously by spatially separated detectors, can probe the unconstrained mass range; and that of nearby stars can probe a heavier mass range. In addition to various good properties of GRBs, astrophysical separations achievable around us --- $r_\oplus \text{--}$ AU --- is just large enough to resolve the GRB lensing by lightest PBH DM.

description: In Online Social Networks (OSNs), interpersonal communication and information sharing are happening all the time, and it is real-time. When a user initiates an activity in OSNs, immediately, he/she will have a certain influence in his/her friendship circle naturally, some users in the initiator's friendship circle will be attracted to participate in this activity. Based on such a fact, we design a k-hop Collaborate Game Model, which means that an activity initiated by a user can only influence those users whose distance are within k-hop from this initiator in OSNs. Besides, we introduce the problem of Revenue Maximization under k-hop Collaborate Game (RMKCG), which identifies a limited number of initiators in order to obtain revenue as much as possible. Collaborate Game Model describes in detail how to quantify revenue and the logic behind it. We do not know how many followers would be generated from an activity in advance, thus, we need to adopt an adaptive strategy, where the decision who is the next potential initiator depends on the results of past decisions. Adaptive RMKCG problem can be considered as a new stochastic optimization problem, and we prove it is NP-hard, adaptive monotone, but not adaptive submodular. But in some special cases, it is adaptive submodular and an adaptive greedy strategy can obtain a $(1-1/e)$-approximation by adaptive submodularity theory. Due to the complexity of our model, it is hard to compute the marginal gain for each candidate user, then, we propose a convenient and efficient computational method. The effectiveness and correctness of our algorithms are validated by heavy simulation on real-world social networks eventually.

description: Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are vital for a country's economy considering export growth, creation of job opportunities, and general economic development (Mtigwe, 2005). Thus, acknowledging the societal importance of SMEs in general and internationalization of SMEs in particular, it is puzzling how little research attention this area attracts. One reason why few internationalization studies focus on SMEs is that international involvement is a resource-demanding activity, and most SMEs operate under tight resource constraints resulting in low freedom of action. Among SMEs that are involved in international business, export is often the preferred entry mode. In this research, export is included as the entry strategy component of the international establishment model called the modified PSE model. Since the original PSE model was developed for large corporations entering emerging markets, it has been altered to fit SMEs entering foreign markets through export. The modified PSE model is based on four components: perception of internationalization barriers; strategy competence; entry strategy; and performance. All empirical material for this study will come from small and medium sized furniture producers in Sweden. Along with a theoretical discussion, this conference paper includes a presentation of the research model, sample frame, and research design.

description: For SCFTs with an $SU(2)$ R-symmetry, we determine the superconformal blocks that contribute to the four-point correlation function of a priori distinct half-BPS superconformal primaries as an expansion in terms of the relevant bosonic conformal blocks. This is achieved by using the superconformal Casimir equation and the superconformal Ward identity to fix the coefficients of the bosonic blocks uniquely in a dimension-independent way. In addition we find that many of the resulting coefficients are related through a web of linear transformations of the conformal data.

description: The subject of this paper is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) in relation to the classical cost accounting methods. Traditional cost accounting methods were created in a time when direct costs of labor and materials were the dominant factors of production and when changes in technology and consumer demand were not so rapid. Allocation of indirect costs, which could not be directly linked to specific products, was based on specific keys: produced volume of different products, direct material costs, direct labor costs and so on. The problem of the traditional cost accounting became evident when the indirect costs (such as maintenance, insurance, production preparation, etc.) reached significant amount or even exceed the direct costs. In terms of producing multiple products, traditional cost accounting methods may underestimate the small batches production cost per unit and overestimate the mass production cost per unit. In response to these concerns, during the 1980s in United States was created Activity-Based Costing. The conceptual frame of ABC is based on the activities of the company, which can be differentiated in various ways - the primary and secondary, activities that add value and those that do not add value. ABC is a costing methodology that identifies activities in an organization and assigns the cost of each activity with resources to all products and services according to the actual consumption by each. ABC is generally used as a tool for understanding product and customer cost and profitability based on the production or performing processes. As such, ABC has predominantly been used to support strategic decisions such as pricing, outsourcing, identification and measurement of process improvement initiatives. In evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of ABC, there will be used methodology methods such as: quantitative method of comparison, the method of key business processes observation in the enterprise, as well as the inductive method. The main objective of this paper is to define a model of activity-based costing in specific conditions of agricultural production and assess its practical significance for cost management process improvement. The results of this research will indicate that the application of ABC in agriculture enterprises can improve the accuracy of cost per unit calculation. However, it should be based on careful cost benefit analysis. Development of ABC could be expensive and implementation could be difficult.

description: This paper presents ModelicaGym toolbox that was developed to employ Reinforcement Learning (RL) for solving optimization and control tasks in Modelica models. The developed tool allows connecting models using Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) toOpenAI Gym toolkit in order to exploit Modelica equation-based modelling and co-simulation together with RL algorithms as a functionality of the tools correspondingly. Thus, ModelicaGym facilitates fast and convenient development of RL algorithms and their comparison when solving optimal control problem for Modelicadynamic models. Inheritance structure ofModelicaGymtoolbox's classes and the implemented methods are discussed in details. The toolbox functionality validation is performed on Cart-Pole balancing problem. This includes physical system model description and its integration using the toolbox, experiments on selection and influence of the model parameters (i.e. force magnitude, Cart-pole mass ratio, reward ratio, and simulation time step) on the learning process of Q-learning algorithm supported with the discussion of the simulation results.

title: Strategies for characterisation of the unexplored human phosphoproteome
Creators: name: Hardman, GE
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Post-translational modification of proteins by addition of a phosphate group serves as a means of rapidly regulating protein function, and thus has vital roles in all aspects of cell biology. Phosphorylation of serine, threonine and tyrosine are the focus of the vast majority of studies aimed at elucidating the function of such modification in human cells. However, there is growing evidence that phosphohistidine (pHis) may also have a role in diverse cellular processes in mammalian systems. Characterisation of pHis is compromised by the inherent instability of the acid-labile phosphoramidate bond, meaning there is a severe lack of suitable experimental strategies to pinpoint the presence of pHis in proteins. The acidic conditions integral to current phosphoproteomics workflows are incompatible with analysis of acid-labile pHis. In this work, chemical phosphorylation was used to generate a set of model pHis-containing peptides, for which stability of the histidine phosphorylation across a range of pH values and at elevated temperature was assessed. The pHis-containing peptides were further used to evaluate various existing enrichment strategies for their suitability for pHis. None of the enrichment methods tested for this work that had previously been used for enrichment of serine/threonine phosphopeptides enabled recovery of pHis peptides. Subsequently, a strong anion exchange fractionation method has been developed, which permits separation of pHis-containing peptides from non-phosphorylated equivalents with salt gradient elution at non-acidic pH. Fractions at the end of the gradient are significantly enriched for phosphopeptides. Crucially, the unbiased phosphopeptide enrichment by strong anion exchange (UPAX) method enabled recovery of pHis-peptides from complex cell lysates. The UPAX method with characterisation by LC-MS/MS has revealed extensive phosphorylation of histidine, lysine, arginine, aspartate and glutamate in human cell extract, including 310 pHis sites and over 1000 sites of lysine phosphorylation. Remarkably, the extent of non-canonical phosphorylation far exceeds that of phosphotyrosine, exposing the previously underappreciated diversity of the human phosphoproteome. The results of this work highlight possible roles for pHis and other sites of non-canonical phosphorylation in human cells. Identification of pHis at a conserved residue within the catalytic domain of eukaryotic protein kinases, suggests histidine phosphorylation may act as a general mechanism for kinase regulation. Application of the UPAX strategy for unbiased phosphoproteomics analysis has opened up diverse avenues for exploring roles and regulation of non-canonical phosphorylation sites in any proteome.

description: Climate change impacts are particularly complex for animals at the interface between the marine and terrestrial environments, such as grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) which use these environments for survival and reproduction. For effective species conservation management, we need to consider the potential impacts of climate change. This thesis predicts where environment currently suitable for foraging will be in future, as well as assessing the potential impact of sea level rise (SLR) and future storm surges on grey seal breeding sites. This thesis utilises tracking data for 37 grey seals, in three regions of the North Sea and the Channel (south-east England, Scotland, and France). Chapter II: I demonstrate that there are differences in the habitat associations of foraging and travelling behaviours across regions using a random forest algorithm. Model performance AUC scores ranged from 0.58-0.74 across regions. Chapter III: I predict where currently suitable foraging habitat for grey seals will be in 2050. Predictions suggest that currently suitable foraging areas will decrease in the south-east England region by ~50% and increase for the Scotland and France regions by ~45% and ~65% respectively. There is uncertainty in future predictions due to extrapolation of environmental space from current conditions. Chapter IV: I present the first analysis of SLR and storm surge impacts on UK grey seal breeding sites. I show that a future 1-in-10-year storm will inundate more habitat than a current day 1-in-100-year storm at all breeding sites studied and may lead to increased pup mortality. This thesis highlights ecologically important areas for UK grey seals in the current day and in the future which will inform marine spatial planning and conservation management of UK grey seals. The methods will also be applicable for assessing future climate change impacts to other marine predator species.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate consumers’ decision-making process, attitudes and values towards organic food throughout the employment of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, adapting the methodology from a European project. 450 consumers were interviewed at supermarkets and farmers’ markets in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Results indicate a high penetration level and very positive attitude towards organic products. Organics are believed to be healthier, tastier, more natural and environmental friendly, although being less attractive and more expensive than conventional food. Respondents from the farmers’ market represent a specific segment whose values are more oriented toward society. The findings showed an alignment between positive attitude and consumption behaviour among the surveyed consumers. The study finally contributes to the stakeholders in general, since the knowledge of the attributes more valued by consumers can help retailers to play the role of coordinators of this supply chain, stimulating producers to adhere to organic certification, helping them to upgrade their production practices and improve their income. Consumers are also benefiting from this offer in the market.

description: Detecting TeV--PeV cosmic neutrinos provides crucial tests of neutrino physics and astrophysics. The statistics of IceCube and the larger proposed IceCube-Gen2 demand calculations of neutrino-nucleus interactions subdominant to deep-inelastic scattering, which is mediated by weak-boson couplings to nuclei. The largest such interactions are W-boson and trident production, which are mediated instead through photon couplings to nuclei. In a companion paper [1], we make the most comprehensive and precise calculations of those interactions at high energies. In this paper, we study their phenomenological consequences. We find that: (1) These interactions are dominated by the production of on-shell W-bosons, which carry most of the neutrino energy, (2) The cross section on water/iron can be as large as 7.5%/14% that of charged-current deep-inelastic scattering, much larger than the quoted uncertainty on the latter, (3) Attenuation in Earth is increased by as much as 15%, (4) W-boson production on nuclei exceeds that through the Glashow resonance on electrons by a factor of $\simeq$ 20 for the best-fit IceCube spectrum, (5) The primary signals are showers that will significantly affect the detection rate in IceCube-Gen2; a small fraction of events give unique signatures that may be detected sooner.
