description: The main aim of this project is to contribute to the quality and adaptable research work through the practice of open science in Cameroon. Specifically, it will be to: Develop a platform that will connect researchers, students, potential funders and research institutions; Empower students with skills like research methodology, proposal writing (in the context of Cameroon), and grant writing and management; Provide job placement opportunities for fresher The growing population worldwide including Cameroon, there is a need to increase crop production and management, develop climate-smart solutions and provide quality data for use. It's believed that quality research with accessible funds can contribute to the development of a country and provide necessary skills for students in need of a job. So far, more than 80% of undergraduate and graduate students are unable to design a good research proposal or find good research topics for their graduation theses. Also, lecturers often have research ideas, and available funds and are often open to collaborating with students in sharing their research experience but find it difficult to find qualified students for implementation. This platform will help students find available research topics and jobs for better research collaboration. It will also enhance the skills of students in open science and other training by participating in seminars and training organized via the platform.

description: Many recent papers in macroeconomics have studied the implications of models with household heterogeneity and incomplete financial markets under
the assumption that households own the stock of physical capital and undertake the
intertemporal investment decisions. In these models, production exhibits constant returns to scale, households maximize expected discounted utility, and firms rent capital
and labor from households to maximize period by period profits. This paper considers
the case in which infinitely lived firms, rather than households, make the intertemporal
investment decisions. Under this assumption, it shows that there exists an objective
function for firms that results in the same equilibrium allocation as in the standard setting with one period lived firms. The objective requires that firms maximize their asset
value, which is defined as the discounted value of future cash flows using present value
processes that do not allow for arbitrage opportunities.

description: Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the application of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to Greek companies. The research investigated the positive and negative impact of the implementation of the Regulations, 18 months after the new legislation went active, regarding technological, organizational and legal issues. Design/methodology/approach – For this research first step was the study of existing literature. Then, questionnaires were distributed to companies liable to the GDPR for the collection of quantitative data. Finally, a conduct research was made in a company that offers records management services trying to bring the services in compliance with GDPR. Findings – The above procedures have yielded significant findings regarding the actual implementation of GDPR in the companies and the technological and organizational issues that took place and need to be resolved. The most important outcomes from this research is a) that the companies are in need for more guidance from the competent authorities in the field of data protection, b) there is a significant cost required to implement the changes in organizational structures and c) the important role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO).

description: We introduce a many-body topological invariant, called the topological disorder parameter (TDP), to characterize gapped quantum phases with global internal symmetry in (2+1)d. TDP is defined as the constant correction that appears in the ground state expectation value of a partial symmetry transformation applied to a connected spatial region $M$, the absolute value of which scales generically as $\exp(-αl+γ)$ where $l$ is the perimeter of $M$ and $γ$ is the TDP. Motivated by a topological quantum field theory interpretation of the operator, we show that $e^γ$ can be related to the quantum dimension of the symmetry defect, and provide a general formula for $γ$ when the entanglement Hamiltonian of the topological phase can be described by a (1+1)d conformal field theory (CFT). A special case of TDP is equivalent to the topological Rényi entanglement entropy when the symmetry is the cyclic permutation of the replica of the gapped phase. We then investigate several examples of lattice models of topological phases, both analytically and numerically, in particular when the assumption of having a CFT edge theory is not satisfied. We also consider an example of partial translation symmetry in Wen's plaquette model and show that the result can be understood using the edge CFT. Our results establish a new tool to detect quantum topological order.

Extended subject – matter under intellectual property law: The paradigm of copyright, trademarks and patents regarding Computer Icons and Graphical User Interfaces
Creators: name: Lefakis, Leandros
Publisher: name: Journal of  Integrated Information Management
Year: 2020
Subjects: intellectual property, subject – matter, extension, Computer Icons, Graphic Users Interface.

description: Abstract: Purpose – Intellectual property law has developed legal rules that carefully balance competing interests. It is a fact that the main goal has long been to provide legal protection to maximize incentives to engage in creative and innovative activities, while also providing rules and doctrines that minimize the effect on the commercial marketplace and diminish interference with the free flow of ideas in general. This article examines the extension of the subject - matter that can be protected under intellectual property law. The extensive view of protectable subject - matter via intellectual property has blurred the clear delineation between patent, copyright, and trademark law. This has led to overlapping protection which allows multiple means to protect the same subject - matter. Such protection is problematic because it interferes with the carefully developed doctrines that have evolved over time to balance the private property rights against public access to creations protected by intellectual property. Approach and Originality/value - This article discusses a new topic concerning the extension domain of subject - matter protected by patents, trademarks and copyright law regarding computer icons and graphical user interface. Furthermore, it examines the overlaps that exist and the resulting problems regarding these specific areas of intellectual property law. Findings - The extension of the subject - matter protected under patent, copyright, or trademark law should only occur if it does not subvert the balance of intellectual property law per se. The reason is that uncareful expansion could cause unintended over-protection of the rights of creators and innovators in contrast to the public interest. The paradigm of CIs and GUIs fits perfectly with the view expressed above.

description: Viticulture and wine production are facing climate change. While it can be a challenge in some regions, it is an opportunity for others. The aim of this study is to develop a methodology to assess climatic characteristics and potential for viticulture of new areas, through spatial analyses of data from temperature-based grapevine models (the Grapevine Flowering Veraison model -GFV and the Grapevine Sugar Ripeness model -GSR) during current and future periods. A deadline for veraison was set on the 1st of September for dry wine and on the 15th of September for sparkling wine. Different sugar levels were targeted for the production of different wine styles (170 g·L-1 for sparkling wine, 190 g·L-1 and 200 g·L-1 dry white and red wines, respectively) on the 15th of October. The methodology was applied over the region of Brittany (France) to assess the potential to produce different wine styles from 6 grapevine varieties (‘Sauvignon blanc’, ‘Chardonnay’, ‘Chenin’, ‘Pinot noir’, ‘Cabernet franc’ and ‘Cabernet-Sauvignon’). Observed data from the Météo-France weather stations network and an 8-km gridded climate model data from the 2014 EUROCORDEX simulation set (CNRM-CM5/RCA4 climate model) were used over the past (1950-2020) and future periods (2031-2060 and 2071-2100) under two GHG emission scenarios (RCP 4.5 and 8.5). Climatic conditions of this region seem to be increasingly suitable in the future depending on climate scenario, time period projections and targeted types of wine. The methodology can be applied to any emerging winegrowing region with the ability to adjust variety choices, time lines and sugar levels thresholds as desired to meet the needs of a specific region.

Evidence of surface heterogeneity on active asteroid (3200) Phaethon

description: Thermal infrared emission and thermophysical modeling techniques are powerful tools in deciphering the surface properties of asteroids. The near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon is an active asteroid with a very small perihelion distance and is likely the source of the Geminid meteor shower. We estimate and interpret the thermal inertia of this extraordinary asteroid using observations that span ten distinct sightings. The variation in thermal inertia over these sightings is inconsistent with the expected temperature-dependent thermal inertia theorized from radiative heat transfer within the regolith. Thus, we test whether the variation in thermal inertia can be explained by modeling a regolith layer over bedrock and two spatially heterogeneous scenarios. We find that the model in which Phaethon's north and south hemispheres have distinctly different thermophysical properties can sufficiently explain the thermal-inertias determined herein. In particular, we find that a boundary located between latitudes -30 deg and +10 deg separates fine-grained southern latitudes from a northern hemisphere that is dominated by coarse-grained regolith and/or a high coverage of porous boulders. We discuss the implications related to Phaethon's activity and potential association with 2005 UD.

description: We present the results of 71.6 hours of observations of the Geminga pulsar (PSR J0633+1746) with the VERITAS very-high-energy gamma-ray telescope array. Data taken with VERITAS between November 2007 and February 2013 were phase-folded using a Geminga pulsar timing solution derived from data recorded by the XMM-\emph{Newton} and \emph{Fermi}-LAT space telescopes. No significant pulsed emission above 100 GeV is observed, and we report upper limits at the 95% confidence level on the integral flux above 135 GeV (spectral analysis threshold) of 4.0$\times10^{-13}$ s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ and 1.7$\times10^{-13}$ s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ for the two principal peaks in the emission profile. These upper limits, placed in context with phase-resolved spectral energy distributions determined from five years of data from the \emph{Fermi}-LAT, constrain possible hardening of the Geminga pulsar emission spectra above $\sim$50 GeV.

description: Robots are being used in increasing numbers in offices and factories throughout the world. Current estimates put the number of robots in use in the United States in 1983 at about 7,000. Little is known, however, about how individual workers react to the introduction of robots or about how the use of robots affects the structure, functioning, and effectiveness of organizations. This paper aims to increase managers' understanding of how robots affect individuals and organizations. The paper is written for managers who are introducing or thinking about introducing robots or other forms of new technology into their organizations. We begin with a brief statement about what a robot is then turn to our own research work about robots. The major portion of this paper concerns recommendations for action.

description: Providing backhaul connectivity for macro and pico base stations (BSs) constitutes a significant share of infrastructure costs in future heterogeneous networks (HetNets). To address this issue, the emerging idea of flexible backhaul is proposed. Under this architecture, not all the pico BSs are connected to the backhaul, resulting in a significant reduction in the infrastructure costs. In this regard, pico BSs without backhaul connectivity need to communicate with their nearby BSs in order to have indirect accessibility to the backhaul. This makes the radio resource management (RRM) in such networks more complex and challenging. In this paper, we address the problem of cross-layer RRM in HetNets with flexible backhaul. We formulate this problem as a two-timescale non-convex stochastic optimization which jointly optimizes flow control, routing, interference mitigation and link scheduling in order to maximize a generic network utility. By exploiting a hidden convexity of this non-convex problem, we propose an iterative algorithm which converges to the global optimal solution. The proposed algorithm benefits from low complexity and low signalling, which makes it scalable. Moreover, due to the proposed two-timescale design, it is robust to the backhaul signalling latency as well. Simulation results demonstrate the significant performance gain of the proposed solution over various baselines.

description: We consider an inverse shape problem coming from electrical impedance tomography with a Robin transmission condition. In general, a boundary condition of Robin type models corrosion. In this paper, we study two methods for recovering an interior corroded region from electrostatic data. We consider the case where we have small volume and extended regions. For the case where the region has small volume, we will derive an asymptotic expansion of the current gap operator and prove that a MUSIC-type algorithm can be used to recover the region. In the case where one has an extended region, we will show that the regularized factorization method can be used to recover said region. Numerical examples will be presented for both cases in two dimensions in the unit circle.

Stochastic line integrals and stream functions as metrics of irreversibility and heat transfer

description: Stochastic line integrals provide a useful tool for quantitatively characterizing irreversibility and detailed balance violation in noise-driven dynamical systems. A particular realization is the stochastic area, recently studied in coupled electrical circuits. Here, we provide a general framework for understanding properties of stochastic line integrals and clarify their implementation for experiments and simulations. For two-dimensional systems, stochastic line integrals can be expressed in terms of a stream function, the sign of which determines the orientation of steady-state probability currents. Additionally, the stream function permits analytical understanding of the scaling dependence of stochastic area on key parameters such as the noise strength for both nonlinear and linear springs. Theoretical results are supported by numerical studies of an overdamped, two-dimensional mass-spring system driven out of equilibrium.

description: Over the summer I worked with Prof. Daniel Reichart to repair and prepare the Skynet robotic telescope network for the next LIGO/VIRGO gravitational wave run. This run marks the beginning of the LIGO/VIRGO gravitational wave observation period, where we aim to capture an optical counterpart to a gravitational wave event. This will allow us to calculate Hubble's constant, the confirmation of which will be extremely important to nearly all astrophysics research going forward. The first part of my research brought me to Chile, where we repaired our telescopes at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. Afterward, I worked to create and test the tools and software that we will use once the gravitational run begins.

description: Tissue factor (TF) is induced in a variety of cell types during viral infection, which likely contributes to disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombosis. TF-expressing cells also release TF-positive extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the circulation that can be measured using an EVTF activity assay. This review summarizes studies that analyze TF expression, TF-positive EVs, activation of coagulation, and thrombosis after infection with influenza A virus (IAV) and coronaviruses (CoVs), including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), SARS-CoV, and Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV). The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2. Infection of mice with IAV increased TF expression in lung epithelial cells as well as increased EVTF activity and activation of coagulation in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Infection of mice with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 also increased lung TF expression. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis on the BALF from severe COVID-19 patients revealed increased TF mRNA expression in epithelial cells. TF expression was observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells infected with SARS-CoV. TF was also expressed by peripheral blood mononuclear cells, monocytes in platelet-monocyte aggregates, and neutrophils isolated from COVID-19 patients. Elevated circulating EVTF activity was observed in severe IAV and COVID-19 patients. Importantly, EVTF activity was associated with mortality in severe IAV patients and with plasma D-dimer, severity, thrombosis, and mortality in COVID-19 patients. These studies strongly suggest that increased TF expression in patients infected with IAV and pathogenic CoVs contributes to thrombosis.

description: Data Integration in the context of the PLATOON project demands the development of data management techniques to efficiently overcome interoperability issues and provide a harmonized view of both data and their meaning (i.e., metadata). This deliverable reports on methodological and technological strategies developed in task T2.4; they allow for implementing data integration systems whose executions generate the PLATOON knowledge bases of pilots 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4a. These data integration systems are analyzed in terms of correspondences among the concepts of the PLATOON semantic data models and the pilots’ data sources. Moreover, the characteristics of the created knowledge bases are reported, as well as queries whose execution enables the exploration of these knowledge bases.

description: Pushdown systems (PDS) are known as an abstract model of recursive programs, and model checking methods for PDS have been studied. Register PDS (RPDS) are PDS augmented by registers to deal with data values from an infinite domain in a restricted way. A linear temporal logic (LTL) model checking method for RPDS with regular valuations has been proposed; however, the method requires the register automata (RA) used for representing a regular valuation to be backward-deterministic. This paper proposes another approach to the same problem, in which the model checking problem for RPDS is reduced to that problem for PDS by constructing a PDS bisimulation equivalent to a given RPDS. The construction in the proposed method is simpler than the previous model checking method and does not require RAs deterministic or backward-deterministic, and the bisimulation equivalence clearly guarantees the correctness of this reduction. On the other hand, the proposed method requires every RPDS (and RA) to have the freshness property, in which whenever the RPDS updates a register with a data value not stored in any register or the stack top, the value should be fresh. This paper also shows that this model checking problem with regular valuations defined by general RA is undecidable, and thus the freshness constraint is essential in the proposed method.

description: Environmental decoherence appears to be the biggest obstacle for successful construction of quantum mind theories. Nevertheless, the quantum physicist Henry Stapp promoted the view that the mind could utilize quantum Zeno effect to influence brain dynamics and that the efficacy of such mental efforts would not be undermined by environmental decoherence of the brain. To address the physical plausibility of Stapp's claim, we modeled the brain using quantum tunneling of an electron in a multiple-well structure such as the voltage sensor in neuronal ion channels and performed Monte Carlo simulations of quantum Zeno effect exerted by the mind upon the brain in the presence or absence of environmental decoherence. The simulations unambiguously showed that the quantum Zeno effect breaks down for timescales greater than the brain decoherence time. To generalize the Monte Carlo simulation results for any n-level quantum system, we further analyzed the change of brain entropy due to the mind probing actions and proved a theorem according to which local projections cannot decrease the von Neumann entropy of the unconditional brain density matrix. The latter theorem establishes that Stapp's model is physically implausible but leaves a door open for future development of quantum mind theories provided the brain has a decoherence-free subspace.

description: As today's nanotechnology focus becomes primarily oriented toward production and manipulation of materials at the subatomic level, allowing the performance and complexity of interconnects where the device density accepts more than hundreds devices on a single chip, the manipulation of semiconductor nanostructures at the subatomic level sets its prime tasks on preserving and adequate transmission of information encoded in specified (quantum) states. The presented study employs the quantum communication protocol based on the hypergraph network model where the numerical solutions of equations of motion of quantum particles are associated to vertices (assembled with device chip), which follow specific controllable paths in the phase space. We address these findings towards ultimate quest for prediction and selective control of quantum particle trajectories. In addition, presented protocols could represent valuable tool for reducing background noise and uncertainty in low-dimensional and operationally meaningful, scalable complex systems.

description: There are many possible transitions or paths from socialist planning to a market or mixed economy. A complaint that is sometimes heard is that economists do not know how to choose the best path. This is regarded as a failure of economics or economists; a better economics or better economists would have clearer answers.
On the dimension of angles and their units

description: We examine implications of angles having their own dimension, in the same sense as do lengths, masses, {\it etc.} The conventional practice in scientific applications involving trigonometric or exponential functions of angles is to assume that the argument is the numerical part of the angle when expressed in units of radians. It is also assumed that the functions are the corresponding radian-based versions. These (usually unstated) assumptions generally allow one to treat angles as if they had no dimension and no units, an approach that sometimes leads to serious difficulties. Here we consider arbitrary units for angles and the corresponding generalizations of the trigonometric and exponential functions. Such generalizations make the functions complete, that is, independent of any particular choice of unit for angles. They also provide a consistent framework for including angle units in computer algebra programs.

description: Anomalous Hall effect arises in systems with both spin-orbit coupling and magnetization. Generally, there are three mechanisms contributing to anomalous Hall conductivity: intrinsic, side jump, and skew scattering. The standard diagrammatic approach to the anomalous Hall effect is limited to computation of ladder diagrams. We demonstrate that this approach is insufficient. An important additional contribution comes from diagrams with a single pair of intersecting disorder lines. This contribution constitutes an inherent part of skew scattering on pairs of closely located defects and essentially modifies previously obtained results for anomalous Hall conductivity. We argue that this statement is general and applies to all models of anomalous Hall effect. We illustrate it by an explicit calculation for two-dimensional massive Dirac fermions with weak disorder. In this case, inclusion of the diagrams with crossed impurity lines reverses the sign of the skew scattering term and strongly suppresses the total Hall conductivity at high electron concentrations.

description: We construct the first class of topological solitons in gravity that are supported by internal electromagnetic flux with vanishing net charges. The solutions are obtained in a six-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a three-form flux, and admit an uplift to type IIB supergravity on T$^4$. They are asymptotic to a torus fibration over four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. An interesting class corresponds to solitons with a BPS particle and its anti-BPS partner held apart by a vacuum bubble. In type IIB, they correspond to bound states of BPS and anti-BPS D1-D5 extremal black holes. These metrics are a particular limit of a larger class of axially symmetric metrics that we construct and that describe smooth horizonless topological solitons. They correspond to bound states of three non-BPS bubbles on a line. An important achievement is that the outer bubbles can carry arbitrary D1-D5 charges that we can tune to vanishing net charges. We discuss their properties and compare them to a four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole of the same mass. We show that they have a long throat with a large redshift, and that they are ultra-compact with a characteristic size of 1.52 times the Schwarzschild radius.

description: In intelligent perception and diagnosis of medical equipment, the visual and morphological changes in retinal vessels are closely related to the severity of cardiovascular diseases (e.g., diabetes and hypertension). Intelligent auxiliary diagnosis of these diseases depends on the accuracy of the retinal vascular segmentation results. To address this challenge, we design a Dual-Branch-UNet framework, which comprises a Dual-Branch encoder structure for feature extraction based on the traditional U-Net model for medical image segmentation. To be more explicit, we utilize a novel parallel encoder made up of various convolutional modules to enhance the encoder portion of the original U-Net. Then, image features are combined at each layer to produce richer semantic data and the model’s capacity is adjusted to various input images. Meanwhile, in the lower sampling section, we give up pooling and conduct the lower sampling by convolution operation to control step size for information fusion. We also employ an attention module in the decoder stage to filter the image noises so as to lessen the response of irrelevant features. Experiments are verified and compared on the DRIVE and ARIA datasets for retinal vessels segmentation. The proposed Dual-Branch-UNet has proved to be superior to other five typical state-of-the-art methods.

description: Progress in economics, as in any developed science, is achieved by a combination of new insights, that change the way an issue is perceived and steady development, exploration and testing within an established framework. Both are important. Without new insights, eventually any field becomes sterile. Without detailed investigation, testing, and scholarly discussion economics can become dependent on rhetoric and clever argument but divorced from reality.

description: The authors plan to conduct a scoping review on patients' experiences of the side effects and late effects of CAR-T cell therapy and the management of side effects and late effects by carers. CAR T-cell therapy has become increasingly important in the treatment of B-cell leukaemias, B-cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphomas and other haemato-oncological diseases in recent years. The findings of the scoping review should serve as a basis for the nursing and medical care of patients undergoing CAR T-cell therapy and for future research projects on the patients’ experiences of CAR T-cell therapy, the side effects and late events.
