description: We analyze the low temperature asymptotics of the quasi-stationary distribution associated with the overdamped Langevin dynamics (a.k.a. the Einstein-Smoluchowski diffusion equation) in a bounded domain. This analysis is useful to rigorously prove the consistency of an algorithm used in molecular dynamics (the hyperdynamics), in the small temperature regime. More precisely, we show that the algorithm is exact in terms of state-to-state dynamics up to exponentially small factor in the limit of small temperature. The proof is based on the asymptotic spectral analysis of associated Dirichlet and Neumann realizations of Witten Laplacians. In order to cover a reasonably large range of applications, the usual assumptions that the energy landscape is a Morse function has been relaxed as much as possible.

Developing Integrated Cycle for Implementing Experience Management in Organizations
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this study was to develop integrated experience management cycle as a basis for executing experience management in organizations. The method used in this study was qualitative and a type of meta-study known as meta-synthesis. In order to perform the research, after designing research questions, systematic search of researches was carried out based on relevant keywords from six internal databases and eleven external databases (from beginning to the end of April 2017) and 13 researches selected purposefully as sampling. By reviewing the researches, researchers identified seven stages, i.e.: experience activation, experience collection, experience engineering, experience maintaining, experience dissemination, experience perception and experience use which are respectively connected through seven processes, i.e.: evaluation, edition, storing, transfer, contextualization, adaption and update. Also, the stages and processes are surrounded by five components, i.e.: organizational culture, experience management technology, experience management strategy, experience management metric and experience management team. Based on these stages and processes, the integrated experience management cycle was developed and its reliability and validity approved. The results of this study can be used as a basis for planning of managers in execution of experience management in organizations.
title: Religion, depression and submissive behavior: an explorative study.
Creators: name: Carlucci, Leonardo
Publisher: name: Società Italiana di Psicologia della Religione

description: Generally, depressed people tend to adopt submissive behavior, to have a low self-consideration in social comparison, which causes fear of a negative evaluation. A time-prolonged submission results into a development of depression. Likewise, from an evolutionary view, religious beliefs and attitudes have functional implications for social life: establishing and maintaining hierarchies, figures of power, and asymmetric relationships. All these implications accounted for submissive behavior in religious people. In this study, the link between depression, religious orientation and submissive behavior, and how these were causally related, was explored in a sample of 391 undergraduate students. Results showed that people characterized by an extrinsic religious orientation were more likely to engage submissive behaviors. No evidence of depression-religiosity pattern was found. These results suggest that an extrinsic personal religious orientation play a functional goal-pursuit role in social behavior, but indirectly involves depressive symptoms.
The geochemical composition of serpentinites in the Mesoarchaean Tartoq Group, SW Greenland: Harzburgitic cumulates or melt-modified mantle?

description: Large slivers and enclaves (up to 100 × 2000 m) of serpentinites form tectonic imbricates within mafic supracrustal rocks of the Mesoarchaean Tartoq Group in SW Greenland. In this study we present new bulk-rock major, trace and platinum-group element data, and preliminary Re–Os isotope data for these serpentinites. Additionally, we present in situ major and trace element data for chromite and magnetite.

Bulk-serpentinite major and trace element compositions allow us to rule out komatiitic, picritic, boninitic or residual mantle origins. Rather, the fractionated platinum-group patterns for the Tartoq Group serpentinites suggest a cumulate origin. The bulk-rock Re–Os isotope data shows Re-depletion ages (TRD) of ca. 2300, 2800 and 2950 Ma for the three analysed samples. These ages are younger than the 2986 ± 4 Ma minimum age of the Tartoq Group, and suggest disturbance of the Re–Os system during metamorphism or post-magmatic metasomatic events. Late resetting and metamorphic overprinting are in agreement with oxide mineral compositions, which are not primary as indicated by negligible Mg and Al contents and elevated Fe3 +# (> 55). Although the major and trace element data do not provide conclusive evidence for the petrogenesis of these Mesoarchaean serpentinites, we observe remarkable similarities with ultramafic rocks associated with the lower crustal cumulates. In particular, ultramafic cumulates of the Kohistan and Talkeetna island arc sections are compositionally comparable, if we allow for slight loss of MgO and addition of SiO2 during early alteration, serpentinisation and metamorphism. Based on these similarities, we propose an arc origin for the Tartoq Group serpentinites. Previous geochemical and structural studies of the enclosing Tartoq Group supracrustal rocks also point to formation in a subduction zone geodynamic setting. This suggests that this assemblage of imbricated mafic to ultramafic rocks and minor sediments represents a Mesoarchaean arc-related ophiolite.

description: Video is a powerful tool in ergonomic observations. However it is often time consuming to record a video and to identify demanding work postures. A time-saving method was developed: information from direct measurements synchronized with video of a body worn video camera was utilized to identify reasons for demanding work moments. This method was successfully tested on a 5.5-hour work shift of a garbage collector: 17 of 18 events when the worker bended forward were quickly identified in a video editing software with guidance of inclination data (inserted as an audio track) from an accelerometer attached to the worker’s back.

Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2018

description: : Service-oriented architecture is a kind of organizational architecture which uses services with the aim of simplification, and implementation of integration activities. Companies to survive in the dynamic environment need to strengthen their organizations through information systems. Service-oriented architecture is a way for the integration and effectiveness of the use of information systems and achieve organizational agility. In this paper after reviewing the literature and previous researches, variables that affect the implementation of service-oriented architecture and organizational agility are extracted. Afterwards, system dynamics approach was used for designing a model which indicates dynamics of service-oriented architecture and their contribution to organizational agility. The validity of the model was confirmed by evaluation methods in dynamics model by using VENSIM software. Finally, based on different scenarios of proposed variables, various scenarios designed and their implementations were simulated. The results showed increased investing to enhance system security, increased rate of return on investment influence on the implementation of service-oriented architecture and increasing the level of implementation of service-oriented architecture by dynamic mechanism increased accountability and organizational agility.

Both instruments are located within the IG UB RAS Arti Observatory approximately 200 km northward from the estimated explosion site. According to the data obtained, the ionospheric disturbance caused by the meteorite flyby, explosion, and impact had high dynamics and amplitude. However, it obviously did not lead to a variation in the ionosphere mean parameters in the region above the disturbance center during the first 2 hours. Essential effects, however, were observed at more than 100-200 km from the explosion site and farther up to 1500 km.

description: Oxygen stoichiometry is one of the most important elements in determining the physical properties of transition metal oxides (TMOs). A small fractional change in the oxygen content, resulting in the variation of valence state of the transition metal, can drastically modify the materials functionalities. In particular, TMOs with mixed valences have attracted attention for many energy applications. Previous studies also showed that the ability to control the number of d-band electron populations and detailed spin configurations is critical for improved catalytic performance of TMOs. In this context, SrCoO$_{x}$ (2.5 < x < 3.0) is an ideal class of materials due to the existence of two structurally distinct topotatic phases, i.e. the brownmillerite SrCoO$_{2.5}$(BM-SCO) and the perovskite SrCoO$_{3}$. Especially, BM-SCO has atomically-ordered one-dimensional vacancy channels, which can accommodate additional oxygen. Moreover, SrCoO$_{x}$ exhibits a wide spectrum of physical properties depending on the oxygen stoichiometry. Since SrCoOx has only a single knob to control the Co valence state without cation doping, it is an attractive material for studying the valence state dependent physical properties. However, so far, the growth of high quality single crystalline materials has not been much studied due to difficulty in controlling the right oxidation state. In this work, we report on the epitaxial growth of BM-SCO single crystalline films on SrTiO3 by pulsed laser epitaxy. In order to examine the topotactic phase transformation to the perovskite SrCoO$_{3-δ}$, some of samples were subsequently in-situ annealed at various oxygen pressure P(O$_{2}$). We found that post-annealing in high P(O$_{2}$) (> several hundreds of Torr) could fill some of oxygen vacancies accompanying systematic evolution in electronic, magnetic, and thermoelectric properties.

description: Fully gapped, spin singlet superconductors with antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling in a Zeeman magnetic field provide a promising route to realize superconducting states with non-Abelian topological order and therefore fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here we use a quantum Monte Carlo dynamical cluster approximation to study the superconducting properties of a doped two-dimensional attractive Hubbard model with Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a Zeeman magnetic field. We generally find that the Rashba coupling has a beneficial effect towards s-wave superconductivity. In the presence of a finite Zeeman field, when superconductivity is suppressed by Pauli pair-breaking, the Rashba coupling counteracts the spin imbalance created by the Zeeman field by mixing the spins, and thus restores superconductivity at finite temperatures. We show that this favorable effect of the spin-orbit coupling is traced to a spin-flip driven enhancement of the amplitude for the propagation of a pair of electrons in time-reversed states. Moreover, by inspecting the Fermi surface of the interacting model, we show that for sufficiently large Rashba coupling and Zeeman field, the superconducting state is expected to be topologically non-trivial.

description: Translations were a crucial channel for the reception of Italian Humanism in the Iberian Peninsula. This intellectual activity not only led to the recuperation of a significant part of the classical Greco-Roman legacy, but also fomented engagement with the works and ideas of contemporary Italian authors. On the one hand, this article underscores the critical role of translation in cultural transfers between both peninsulas and shows the change in authors selected to translate over the course of fifteenth century. On the other hand, it analyzes the implications of these author selections, arguing that they reveal at once an ideological transformation, a change in the conception of the very act of translation, and the adoption of new terminology.

description: In an effort to develop computational tools for predicting radiation hazards from solar energetic particles (SEPs), we have created a data-driven physics-based particle transport model to calculate the injection, acceleration and propagation of SEPs from coronal mass ejection (CME) shocks traversing through the solar corona and interplanetary magnetic fields. The model runs on an input of corona and heliospheric plasma and magnetic field configuration from an MHD model driven by solar photospheric magnetic field measurements superposed with observed CME shocks determined from coronagraph images. Using several advanced computation techniques involving stochastic simulation and integration, it rigorously solves the time-dependent 5-dimensional focus transport equation in the phase space that includes pitch-angle scattering, diffusion across magnetic field line, and particle acceleration by CME shocks. We apply the model to the 2011 November 3 CME event. The calculation results reproduce multi-spacecraft SEP observations reasonably well without normalization of particle flux. This circumsolar SEP event seen by spacecraft at Earth, STEREO-A and STEREO-B at widely separated longitudes can be explained by diffusive shock acceleration by a single CME shock with a moderate speed.

description: We consider the superfield formulation of supersymmetric gauge and matter field theories on a three-dimensional sphere with rigid ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry, as well as with ${\cal N}> 2$. The construction is based on a supercoset $SU(2|1)/U(1)$ containing $S^3$ as the bosonic subspace. We derive an explicit form of $SU(2|1)/U(1)$ supervielbein and covariant derivatives, and use them to construct classical superfield actions for gauge and matter supermultiplets in this superbackground. We then apply superfield methods for computing one-loop partition functions of these theories and demonstrate how the localization technique works directly in the superspace.

description: It is established theoretically that an ordered state with continuous symmetry is inherently unstable to arbitrarily small amounts of disorder [1, 2]. This principle is of central importance in a wide variety of condensed systems including superconducting vortices [3, 4], Ising spin models [5] and their dynamics [6], and liquid crystals in porous media [7, 8], where some degree of disorder is ubiquitous, although its experimental observation has been elusive. Based on these ideas it was predicted [9] that 3He in high porosity aerogel would become a superfluid glass. We report here our nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on 3He in aerogel demonstrating destruction of long range orientational order of the intrinsic superfluid orbital angular momentum, confirming the existence of a superfluid glass. In contrast, 3He-A generated by warming from superfluid 3He-B has perfect long-range orientational order providing a mechanism for switching off this effect.

Patent Analysis by Data Mining for Identifying and Determining Relationships among Technologies
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2018

description: Analyzing technologies relationships can provide insight into technological strategies and maximizing the profits. Patents are integral parts of intellectual property rights and include significant information about developed technologies. Due to the increasing amount of patents, data mining method is proposed for patent analysis. Thus, weighted association rules have been used for patent analysis; meanwhile unequal importance of patents and levels of technology have been considered in terms of technological impact and commercial importance. The aim of this study is to find a sustainable method for extracting technologies relationships based on patent analysis being independent of subjective knowledge of experts in a particular field of technology. To achieve this goal, a four-step process including data collection, structured database creation, data mining implementation, and technologies relationship identification/determination and their graphical representation are proposed. The proposed process has been implemented and evaluated within a case study.

description: The motion of test bodies in gravity is tightly linked to the conservation laws. This well-known fact in the context of General Relativity is also valid for gravitational theories which go beyond Einstein's theory. Here we derive the equations of motion for test bodies for a very large class of gravitational theories with a general nonminimal coupling to matter. These equations form the basis for future systematic tests of alternative gravity theories. Our treatment is covariant and generalizes the classic Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon result for spinning (extended) test bodies. The equations of motion for structureless test bodies turn out to be surprisingly simple, despite the very general nature of the theories considered.

description: We investigate the contribution of higher spin particles in the signal of direct detection experiments searching for dark matter. We consider a bosonic or fermionic higher spin dark matter (HSDM) candidate which interacts with the Standard Model via a dark U(1) mediator. For a particular subclass of interactions, spin-polarized targets may be used for spin determination: The angular dependence of scatterings can distinguish integer (spin-$s$) vs. half-integer (spin-$s + 1/2$), while the recoil energy dependence of the signal determines $s$. We consider also the signal of a supersymmetric higher spin dark sector, which suggests a characteristic signal (''SUSY Rilles'') for directional direct detection.

description: Forced detachment of a single polymer chain, strongly-adsorbed on a solid substrate, is investigated by two complementary methods: a coarse-grained analytical dynamical model, based on the Onsager stochastic equation, and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations with Langevin thermostat. The suggested approach makes it possible to go beyond the limitations of the conventional Bell-Evans model. We observe a series of characteristic force spikes when the pulling force is measured against the cantilever displacement during detachment at constant velocity $v_c$ (displacement control mode) and find that the average magnitude of this force increases as $v_c$ grows. The probability distributions of the pulling force and the end-monomer distance from the surface at the moment of final detachment are investigated for different adsorption energy $ε$ and pulling velocity $v_c$. Our extensive MD-simulations validate and support the main theoretical findings. Moreover, the simulation reveals a novel behavior: for a strong-friction and massive cantilever the force spikes pattern is smeared out at large $v_c$. As a challenging task for experimental bio-polymers sequencing in future we suggest the fabrication of stiff, super-light, nanometer-sized AFM probe.

description: In this article, it is necessary to take into account many factors and take into account the socio-pedagogical environment and conditions when evaluating the educational achievements of students. Today, the need to modernize pedagogical measures and introduce international programs in education is increasing. The main goal of international assessment programs is to provide feedback on how students apply the knowledge they learn at school in everyday life.

description: By employing some modification to the widely used two-flavor Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model, we discuss the Wigner solution of the quark gap equation at finite temperature and zero quark chemical potential beyond the chiral limit, and then try to explore its influences on the chiral and deconfinement phase transitions of QCD at finite temperature and zero chemical potential. The discovery of the coexistence of the Nambu and the Wigner solutions of the quark gap equation with nonzero current quark mass at zero temperature and zero chemical potential, as well as their evolutions with temperature is very interesting for the studies of the phase transitions of QCD. According to our results, the chiral phase transition might be of first order (while the deconfinement phase transition is still a crossover, as in the normal PNJL model), and the corresponding phase transition temperature is lower than that of the deconfinement phase transition, instead of coinciding with each other, which are not the same as the conclusions obtained from the normal PNJL model. In addition, we also discuss the sensibility of our final results on the choice of model parameters.
Applying Expert Retrieval Model for Finding Expert Authors
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2018

description: This research applied expertise retrieval model for finding expert authors, and used evaluation methods of information retrieval systems for measuring the performance of those models. Current research is an experimental one. Besides, a variety of methods including survey method has been used in the research process. Various models were developed for finding expert authors, all built on a known expertise retrieval model, called document-centered model. Voting models were used within these models, too. All models were implemented and evaluated on the test collection developed specially for this research. Results showed that citation-centered models outperformed authorship-centered models in term of expert author finding task. In addition, there was no significant difference among retrieval performance of voting models. Individuals name occur in academic papers in two ways: either as author of paper or cited in the paper. Measuring retrieval performance of ER model considering kind of occurrence is our contribution in this research.

Mass flow in the circumbinary disk with gap around supermassive binary black holes

description: In this paper, we study the interaction between the supermassive binary black holes in elliptical orbit and their surrounding disk with a gap. The gap in the disk is a low density region formed due to the tidal effects of the less massive black hole. The binary we have investigated has a sub-parsec separation and is coplanar with the disk. We find that the maximum variation of the surface density in the gap reaches 50% during an orbital period. However, in other regions of the disk, the density variation is much less than 1%. Furthermore, we calculate the corresponding variation of spectral energy distribution within a period, but little variation is found. The reason for these results is that the viscosity timescale of the disk at the binary radius is much longer than the orbital period of the binary.

description: Lagrangian approach is applied to study near-surface large-scale transport in the Kuroshio Extension area using a simulation with synthetic particles advected by AVISO altimetric velocity field. A material line technique is applied to find the origin of water masses in cold-core cyclonic rings pinched off from the jet in summer 2011. Tracking and Lagrangian maps provide the evidence of cross-jet transport. Fukushima derived caesium isotopes are used as Lagrangian tracers to study transport and mixing in the area a few months after the March of 2011 tsunami that caused a heavy damage of the Fukushima nuclear power plant (FNPP). Tracking maps are computed to trace the origin of water parcels with measured levels of Cs-134 and Cs-137 concentrations collected in two R/V cruises in June and July 2011 in the large area of the Northwest Pacific. It is shown that Lagrangian simulation is useful to finding the surface areas that are potentially dangerous due to the risk of radioactive contamination. The results of simulation are supported by tracks of the surface drifters which were deployed in the area.
"Contracting" for Credit

description: The Essay begins in Part I with a summary of the problems presented by standardized terms in consumer transactions. Part II describes the contracting practices that dominate the modern credit card industry. I argue that sophisticated card issuers have learned to exploit the boilerplate features of their agreements to produce a set of dynamic contracting obligations that even sophisticated cardholders could not understand. Finally, Part III analyzes several potential responses. First, I briefly explain my thoughts on several proposals mentioned in the literature. In general, those proposals are designed to improve consumer decisionmaking without limiting consumer choice. I generally conclude that those proposals are not likely to be effective. Then, I discuss choice-limiting responses that have been used effectively in other consumer finance contexts. I argue in favor of prohibiting terms that alter the consequences of borrowing after the fact. Those terms make it very difficult for consumers to take account of the borrowing costs at the time of their purchasing and borrowing decisions. More broadly, I propose a centrally promulgated set of standardized terms that would leave businesses free to compete on the key financial terms that consumers are most likely to understand.
Control modes in care delivery organisations

description: Three different, overlapping management and control systems co-exist in healthcare delivery organisations: in order of their legibility, they are a Weberian
bureaucracy (the formal hospital organization); a feudal system (the medical staff); and an informal, peer-based network of senior nurses roughly analogous to networks of noncommissioned officers in the military. The co-existence of these three modes of control leads to areas of conflict, confusion, and cooperation. The paper discusses the benefits and problems associated with this complexity and draws on insights from the engineering of polycentric control architectures involving heterogeneous agents to suggest ways to beneficially influence such organisations.
