description: Identification and measurement of the social costs of rent-seeking (and associated rentdefending and rent-avoiding) in projects in developing countries have been neglected. This is in spite !1f a voluminous literature on the methodology and practice of project evaluation, an.i intense scrutiny of project activities by agencies responsible for their funding. The potential for social costs from rent-seeking in such projects is explored in this paper, with some illustrative ex,mples from agriculture"'based rural development projects. Other social costs indirectly resulting from rent-seeking activities are also described.

description: This presentation refers to an interdisciplinary project for the production of the first illustrated bilingual glossary produced for Greek and Italian language users. The interlingual management of medical terminology of anatomy arises from educational and social needs and requires the adoption of collaborative interdisciplinary approaches where the documentation of the terms is wide [i.e. derived from a variety of valid text corpora, a wide variety of sources, options of specialists concerning additional available sources required for an illustrated lexicographic product]. The diversity and complexity of medical terminology users, in our project, leads not only to the choice of pictorial representation of the terms - entries introduced in the lexicographic product, but also to a linguistic and extralinguistic framework of each pictorial section of the glossary. We shall describe the illustrations as the inter-language paths to follow when attempting to translate for example Italian > Greek texts of anatomy and vice versa. We shall also describe strategies of iconographic imports and encyclopedic support for non-medical users such as: 1. The same image for the introduction of Greek and Italian entries: The choice is linked to the need to underscore convergences and divergences with images [e.g. the order of substantives and adjectives in Greek and Italian, (κεντρική αύλακα-scissura central as in Greek the adjective precedes) / assymetry between the Greek and Italian multi-words and singleword equivalent terms (οπίσθιος εγκέφαλος-ponte which in Greek is a multi-word term)]. 2. Information given regarding the medical subsection where the term can be used.

Flow-Induced Shift of the Donnan Equilibrium for Ultra-Sensitive Mass Transport Measurement Through a Single Nanochannel

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Despite mass flow is arguably the most elementary transport associated to nanofluidics, its measurement still constitutes a significant bottleneck for the development of this promising field. Here, we investigate how a liquid flow perturbs the ubiquitous enrichment-or depletion-of a solute inside a single nanochannel. Using Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy to access the local solute concentration, we demonstrate that the initial enrichment-the so-called Donnan equilibrium-is depleted under flow thus revealing the underlying mass transport. Combining theoretical and numerical calculations beyond the classical 1D treatments of nanochannels, we rationalize quantitatively our observations and demonstrate unprecedented flow rate sensitivity. Because the present mass transport investigations are based on generic effects, we believe they can develop into a versatile approach for nanofluidics.

description: Broadband electrochromism from visible to infrared wavelengths is attractive for applications like smart windows, thermal-camouflage, and temperature control. In this work, the broadband electrochromic properties of Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) and its suitability for infrared-camouflage and thermoregulation are investigated. Upon Li+ intercalation, LTO changes from a wide band-gap semiconductor to a metal, causing LTO nanoparticles on metal to transition from a super-broadband optical reflector to a solar absorber and thermal emitter. Large tunabilities of 0.74, 0.68 and 0.30 are observed for the solar reflectance, mid-wave infrared (MWIR) emittance and long-wave infrared (LWIR) emittance respectively. The values exceed, or are comparable to notable performances in the literature. A promising cycling stability is also observed. MWIR and LWIR thermography reveal that the emittance of LTO-based electrodes can be electrochemically tuned to conceal them amidst their environment. Moreover, under different sky conditions, LTO shows promising solar heating and sub-ambient radiative cooling capabilities depending on the degree of lithiation and device design. The demonstrated capabilities of LTO make LTO-based electrochromic devices highly promising for infrared-camouflage applications in the defense sector, and for thermoregulation in space and terrestrial environments.

description: The emission of ultrafine particles from small desktop Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printers has been frequently investigated in the past years. However, the vast majority of FFF emission and exposure studies have not considered the possible occurrence of particles below the typical detection limit of Condensation Particle Counters and could have systematically underestimated the total particle emission as well as the related exposure risks. Therefore, we comparatively measured particle number concentrations and size distributions of sub-4 nm particles with two commercially available diethylene glycol-based instruments – the TSI 3757 Nano Enhancer and the Airmodus A10 Particle Size Magnifier. Both instruments were evaluated for their suitability of measuring FFF-3D printing emissions in the sub-4 nm size range while operated as a particle counter or as a particle size spectrometer. For particle counting, both instruments match best when the Airmodus system was adjusted to a cut-off of 1.5 nm. For size spectroscopy, both instruments show limitations due to either the fast dynamics or rather low levels of particle emissions from FFF-3D printing in this range. The effects are discussed in detail in this article. The findings could be used to implement sub-4 nm particle measurement in future emission or exposure studies, but also for the development of standard test protocols for FFF-3D printing emissions.

description: A draft, showing images of Santiago de Chile.
This first Part focuses on Santa Lucia Hill, since appears to be the only clear reference to Human Rights Abuses which happened in Chile and abroad (Europe, America, Australia, Japan, etc, etc.)
Chile turns out to be a toy model of how to fix or reshape human kind. But as always, people chasing money or misinterpreting reasons causes caos, destruction, men-slaughter, torture, etc.
I was told trains stopped running in Chile, companies left and took their gold away because of the abuses and tortures that happened here.
Although, tortures and abuses happened everywhere in the world ... around the same time.

Nevertheless, for people interested on World's history Santiago de Chile is a perfect place to have a compendium or brief version of world's history and latest attempts to reshape the world.
Feel free to share images, except those with me inside. Everyone can take exactly the same pictures anyway. And access to world history is free, like any other knowledge.

Knowledge fortunately has never been bought with money.

description: This study lies in the field of Computational Linguistics and is a part of a broader research project that aims to develop an analysis system of Modern Greek applied in translation. It is widely known that during the translation process, the structure both of the source and the target language should be taken into consideration. However, natural languages present various semantic and syntactic characteristics such as polysemy, multiword expressions, differences in meaning of words from singular to plural etc. which arise problems in translation and mostly in automatic/machine translation. In this paper, we focus on the polysemy of Greek simple nouns. In particular, we will study how semantic features that are added to the lemmas of electronic morphological dictionary of Modern Greek (DelasGR) could improve the results of the translation process. We will present the methodology and criteria according to which we add semantic features to the nouns and provide some representative examples of translations taken by the machine translation system Systran.

description: A controlled local enhancement of superconductivity yields unexpected modifications in the vortex dynamics. This local enhancement has been achieved by designing an array of superconducting Nb nanostructures embedded in a V superconducting film. The most remarkable findings are: i) vanishing of the main commensurability effect between the vortex lattice and the array unit cell, ii) hysteretic behavior in the vortex dynamics, iii) broadening of the vortex liquid phase and iv) strong softening of the vortex lattice. These effects can be controlled and they can be quenched by reducing the Nb array superconducting performance applying an in-plane magnetic field. These results can be explained by taking into account the repulsive potential landscape created by the superconducting Nb nanostructures on which vortices move.

description: Sceloenopla bidens (Fabricius, 1792) ( Sceloenoplini)

 Remarks. Cඈඌඍൺ et al. (1988) published description of larva of Sceloenopla af. bidens (Fabricius, 1792) based on material collected in Campinas but did not discuss further the identification. Lඈඎඋൾඇඡඞඈ et al. (1991) published biological observations on the same population of S. bidens and provided colour photograph of the adult. Regarding identification, they wrote following: ‘Specimens were sent in 1984 to Systematic Entomology Laboratory, USDA and identified by Dr. R. E. White as S. bidens or very close species. In 1989, Dr. Cleide Costa compared these specimens to the holotype of S. bidens in MNHN and concluded that they are the same species.’ I have repeatedly tried to locate the type of S. bidens in MNHN and failed; however, it was described from Suriname and the species is common in the Guiana shield. The specimen figured by Lඈඎඋൾඇඡඞඈ et al. (1991) shows high and broad costae on the elytra matching another species, S. rectelineata. I had at disposal numerous specimens of S. bidens from French Guiana and historical material from MNHN and BMNH identified as this species; they have distinctly lower and narrower costae in comparison to the holotype of S. rectelineata. Therefore S. bidens is removed from the fauna of São Paulo and the respective records are transferred to S. rectelineata. True S. bidens is with certainty distributed in the Guiana shield, other records should be verified.

description: In this paper we study general quantum affinizations $\U_q(\hat{\Glie})$ of symmetrizable quantum Kac-Moody algebras and we develop their representation theory. We prove a triangular decomposition and we give a classication of (type 1) highest weight simple integrable representations analog to Drinfel'd-Chari-Pressley one. A generalization of the q-characters morphism, introduced by Frenkel-Reshetikhin for quantum affine algebras, appears to be a powerful tool for this investigation. For a large class of quantum affinizations (including quantum affine algebras and quantum toroidal algebras), the combinatorics of q-characters give a ring structure * on the Grothendieck group $\text{Rep}(\U_q(\hat{\Glie}))$ of the integrable representations that we classified. We propose a new construction of tensor products in a larger category by using the Drinfel'd new coproduct (it can not directly be used for $\text{Rep}(\U_q(\hat{\Glie}))$ because it involves infinite sums). In particular we prove that * is a fusion product (a product of representations is a representation).

description: Morphological information on fine particles is essential for understanding their transport behavior in the ambient atmosphere and in the human respiratory system. More than 3000 transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of fine particles were collected from ambient atmosphere and directly from various sources, such as diesel and gasoline engine exhaust, biomass burning, coal combustion, and road dust, and were then morphologically categorized into four major classes (spherical, agglomerate, polygonal, and dendrite). Pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models (DenseNet169, InceptionV3, MobileNetV3Small, ResNet50, and VGG16) and traditional machine learning models (decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines) were trained using the classified particles. The fine-tuned CNN model (DenseNet169) having the deepest feature learning exhibited the best performance among the tested models, with an overall classification accuracy of 89% and an average per-class accuracy ranging from 84% to 97%. The reliable classification of thousands of images was performed within several minutes. The agglomerated class was the least misclassified because of its significantly different features from those of the other classes. The critical regions of the particles for classification decisions varied among the pre-trained models. Our results suggest that the pre-trained CNN models would be useful for the rapid morphological classification of a large number of fine particles.

description: The poultry and pig industries have for many years had a focus on feed efficiency (more meat per unit of feed), but the dairy industry has not paid sufficient attention to this. For the past decade Joseph Keenan and Sons has been researching and innovating to raise feed efficiency in dairying and beef production in concert with the sale of its feed mixer wagons. From 2006 onwards it has collected basic production records on the impact of its system on over 64,000 herds and nearly 1 million cows in 26 countries. This paper presents a number of separate approaches to analyse the effect of the system in the first 12-months in Australia/New Zealand, France, Ireland, Northern Europe and the UK. Over 70% of producers coming onto the system make positive margin gains, and the analysis is aimed at characterising the type and scale of response as well as to disentangling the reasons for success and failure. Two forms of graphic analysis have been developed based on a typology of response. Stochastic dominance analysis examines the overall effectiveness of the system and multinomial logit analysis is used to explain response in terms of conditioning factors.

description: We consider a distributed learning problem over multiple access channel (MAC) using a large wireless network. The computation is made by the network edge and is based on received data from a large number of distributed nodes which transmit over a noisy fading MAC. The objective function is a sum of the nodes' local loss functions. This problem has attracted a growing interest in distributed sensing systems, and more recently in federated learning. We develop a novel Gradient-Based Multiple Access (GBMA) algorithm to solve the distributed learning problem over MAC. Specifically, the nodes transmit an analog function of the local gradient using common shaping waveforms and the network edge receives a superposition of the analog transmitted signals used for updating the estimate. GBMA does not require power control or beamforming to cancel the fading effect as in other algorithms, and operates directly with noisy distorted gradients. We analyze the performance of GBMA theoretically, and prove that it can approach the convergence rate of the centralized gradient descent (GD) algorithm in large networks. Specifically, we establish a finite-sample bound of the error for both convex and strongly convex loss functions with Lipschitz gradient. Furthermore, we provide energy scaling laws for approaching the centralized convergence rate as the number of nodes increases. Finally, experimental results support the theoretical findings, and demonstrate strong performance of GBMA using synthetic and real data.

description: Consider the Plancherel decomposition of the tensor product of a highest weight and a lowest weight unitary representations of $SL_2$. We construct explicitly the action of the Lie algebra $sl_2 + sl_2$ in the direct integral of Hilbert spaces. It turns out that a Lie algebra operator is a second order differential operator in one variable and second order difference operator with respect to another variable. The difference operators are defined in terms of the shift in the imaginary direction $f(s)\mapsto f(s+i)$, $i^2=-1$ (the Plancherel measure is supported by real $s$).

description: Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are a well known type of model for many varieties of sequen- tial data. There exist several algorithms for learning HMMs: a variant of an expectation- maximization (EM) algorithm known as the Baum Welch method, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), and Variational Inference (VI). This third method is less frequently used, yet it has interesting properties with regard to convergence, sparsity, and interpretation that are worth further exploration. HMMs are used as explanatory models in the field of marketing science, where one of the goals is to interpret the model structure to understand customer behavior. This thesis will explore the use of HMMs trained with VI to build an interpretable classification model for customer churn on a dataset consisting of call data records from a mobile telecommunications company. In this thesis we first provide an introduction to VI for HMMs and then derive a mixture of HMMs (mHMMs) using VI. A mHMMs is then shown to be quite capable of performing unsupervised clustering of sequential data. Next, we present the design and interface of a new open source library for training HMMs and mHMMs with VI and EM. We show that this library achieves excellent performance while still providing an intuitive interface in the Python programming language. We then examine the performance of classifiers using HMMs trained with VI and EM on several classification datasets. The results from these experiments are then used to build and test several simple classification models to predict churn for the provided dataset. As these models are shown to have poor performance, we train a more traditional machine learning model based on gradient boosted trees and evaluate the interpretability, stability and performance of this model over a subsequent 18 months of data.

description: Accurate QED calculations of the interelectron interaction corrections for the $(1s2p)2 {}^1 P_1$, $(1s2p)2 {}^3 P_1$ two-electron configurations for ions with nuclear charge numbers $10\le Z \le 92$ are performed within the line profile approach. Total energies of these configurations are evaluated. Employing the fully relativistic treatment based on the {$j$--$j$} coupling scheme these energy levels become quasi-degenerate in the region $Z\le 40$. To treat such states within the framework of QED we utilize the line profile approach. The calculations are performed within the Coulomb gauge.

description: There are currently quite numerous linguistic studies dealing with idiomatic expressions in different languages; however, issues concerning their translation are not fully and systematically treated by linguists, lexicographers and translators. This paper deals with the translation teaching of idiomatic expressions, mainly those found in literary texts, using relevant corpus data drawn from a French novel and its Greek translation. The aim of the paper is to identify and classify problems arisen when translating those expressions, to examine possible effective translation procedures to treat them and, finally, to propose a teaching methodology for their translation.

description: We compare the properties of kG magnetic structures in the solar network and in active region plage at high spatial resolution. Our analysis used six SP scans of the solar disc centre aboard Hinode SOT and inverted the obtained spectra of the photospheric 6302 Åline pair using the 2D SPINOR code. Photospheric magnetic field concentrations in network and plage areas are on average 1.5 kG strong with inclinations of 10-20 degrees, and have <400 m/s internal and 2-3 km/s external downflows. At the disc centre, the continuum intensity of magnetic field concentrations in the network are on average 10% brighter than the mean quiet Sun, whilst their plage counterparts are 3% darker. A more detailed analysis revealed that all sizes of individual kG patches in the network have 150 G higher field strengths on average, 5% higher continuum contrasts, and 800 m/s faster surrounding downflows than similarly sized patches in the plage. The speed of the surrounding downflows also correlates with the patch area, and patches containing pores can produce supersonic flows exceeding 11 km/s in individual pixels. Furthermore, the magnetic canopies of kG patches are on average 9 degrees more horizontal in the plage compared to the network. Most of the differences between the network and plage are due to their different patch size distributions, but the intrinsic differences between similarly sized patches is likely results from the modification of the convection photospheric convection with increasing amounts of magnetic flux.

description: Information asymmetry has traditionally constrained smallholder farmers’ access to markets. Past studies indicate that it inhibits adoption of modern technologies that have the capacity to enhance productivity of smallholder farms. Hence, farm productivity and agricultural transformation has been stifled, leaving smallholder famers in grinding poverty. Improved smallholder farmers’ access to markets via the recent Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms could reverse this scenario. This study uses Propensity Score Matching (PSM) technique to evaluate the impact of participation in an ICT-based market information service (MIS) project on farm input use and productivity in Kenya. It finds strong empirical evidence on the benefits of ICT use in market linkage. Specifically, it finds that participation in the ICT-based MIS project has positive and significant impact on the usage of improved seeds and fertilizers. It also improves land and labour productivity, but has negative and significant impact on the usage of hired and family labour. These findings have vital policy implications on the use of ICT tools as a development strategy.

description: Black carbon, or soot, is one of the highest contributors to global warming. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted regulatory standards for soot from aircraft engines, also referred to as a nonvolatile particulate matter (nvPM), to limit or reduce the harmful impacts of nvPM on the environment. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) offer advantages to reduce soot emissions and overall environmental impact but require extensive testing and evaluation before wider adoption. Typical measurements of soot produced by combustion of aviation fuels require full-sized jet engines and large volumes of fuel, which can be prohibitively expensive. This study investigates flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) as a simple bench-top tool for comparison of soot emissions from the combustion of different liquid jet fuels. A sampling assembly is designed for soot collection and analysis. Morphological analysis follows from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image analysis and mobility (differential mobility analyzer) classification. Morphologies are compared to previous measurements from aircraft turbines. Soot agglomerate size distributions and elemental to total carbon ratios (EC/TC) are measured for three liquid fuels and flame conditions with Reynolds numbers and burner equivalence ratios ranging from 6100 to 9100 and 7 to 13, respectively. Day-to-day variations in the dilution ratio resulted in up to 20% variability in the measured total agglomerate number-based concentration and mobility diameter. Geometric mean primary particle and mobility diameter values are below 21 and 104 nm, respectively, in excellent agreement with those emitted from jet engines and prior work using FSP. EC/TC remains >0.75 for most flame conditions and fuels and increases with burner equivalence ratio, but values as low as 0.63 are measured from SAF combustion.

description: International cooperation in science and technology is an important part of addressing major global issues like climate change, infectious disease, food security, and natural disasters. Research infrastructures (RIs) are organizations that enable scientists to use specific facilities, resources, and expertise to enable and accelerate scientific achievements, overcome boundaries, train highly skilled specialists, and promote sustainable research. Fostering RI partnerships across borders has the potential to improve the efficiency and quality of research to tackle the many challenges faced by society today. RI-VIS organises the symposia in three different world regions (Africa, Latin America, Australia) to bring together delegates from Research Infrastructures (RIs), science policy organisations and research institutions to discuss opportunities and challenges for RI cooperation between Europe and the respective target region. The aim of these symposia is to raise awareness of individual RIs, to identify measures to mitigate current challenges of international cooperation between RIs, to initiate new and strengthening existing collaborations, and to initiate networks in a sustainable way so that all stakeholders benefit. The first of these three international symposia was the ‘Africa-Europe Symposium on Research Infrastructures – Exploring collaborations between Africa and Europe’, which was held as a digital meeting on February 1-2, 2021.

Modeling deuterium chemistry in starless cores: full scrambling versus proton hop

description: We constructed two new models for deuterium and spin-state chemistry for the purpose of modeling the low-temperature environment prevailing in starless and pre-stellar cores. The fundamental difference between the two models is in the treatment of ion-molecule proton-donation reactions of the form $\rm XH^+ + Y \longrightarrow X + YH^+$, which are allowed to proceed either via full scrambling or via direct proton hop, i.e., disregarding proton exchange. The choice of the reaction mechanism affects both deuterium and spin-state chemistry, and in this work our main interest is on the effect on deuterated ammonia. We applied the new models to the starless core H-MM1, where several deuterated forms of ammonia have been observed. Our investigation slightly favors the proton hop mechanism over full scrambling because the ammonia D/H ratios are better fit by the former model, although neither model can reproduce the observed $\rm NH_2D$ ortho-to-para ratio of 3 (the models predict a value of $\sim$2). Extending the proton hop scenario to hydrogen atom abstraction reactions yields a good agreement for the spin-state abundance ratios, but greatly overestimates the deuterium fractions of ammonia. However, one can find a reasonably good agreement with the observations with this model by increasing the cosmic-ray ionization rate over the commonly-adopted value of $\sim$$10^{-17}\,\rm s^{-1}$. We also find that the deuterium fractions of several other species, such as $\rm H_2CO$, $\rm H_2O$, and $\rm CH_3$, are sensitive to the adopted proton-donation reaction mechanism. Whether the full scrambling or proton hop mechanism dominates may be dependent on the reacting system, and new laboratory and theoretical studies for various reacting systems are needed to constrain chemical models.
