description: Between 1964-65 and 1969-70, average occupancy levels of warehousing space dropped approximately 58 percent. This resulted in an increase in storage costs of $2.23 per bale per year. The cost structure for the handling functions also increased significantly during this period. The principal forces affecting both the storage and handling functions were declining volume and increasing cost of inputs. These conclusions are based on an analysis of accounting and operating data obtained by personal interviews from a sample of firms in the industry. The results of the analysis also indicated that regional differences existed in the cost structure associated with warehouses and compresses.

description: Levantines who emigrated to South Africa and the United States in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were agrarian people which made their material conditions, like the Irish, comparable to those of the slaves. They arrived to “color-coded” societies in which color was the determinant factor in accessing rights. Prior to their migration, the Levantines were not familiar with the “racial” and “whiteness” issues; they became white “only after they had successfully claimed whiteness, and when law and custom confirmed it” (Gualtieri 2001). The success of their claim came about following two lawsuits in South Africa and in the US. While the Dow case has been studied, the Gandur has not, consequently, the article highlights the rationale of the judgement and at compare the two cases in terms of commonalities. This article shows how race is a social construct and how it can be interpreted to admit the “undesirables.”

The linearized modified Einstein equations are obtained and the perturbative solutions are constructed and characterized. We develop a formalism for data analysis in laboratory experiments testing gravity at short range and demonstrate that these tests provide unique sensitivity to deviations from local Lorentz invariance.

description: This research aimed to systematise data on the use of 4D planning technologies, consider problems that arise during the implementation and identify methods for solving them by implementing an experiment through a practical example. The pilot 4D project involved eight employees who implemented the 4D BIM project from an existing 3D BIM model. Work on the 4D model is carried out in two different ways: through separate files with subsequent integration into a single 4D model and through a configured server (SYNCHRO Workgroup Project [SWP]) in a single file with a shared access. The analysis of the possible problems, the ways to solve them in the formation of a 4D model and the potential barriers to the introduction of this technology is carried out. During this research, the necessary requirements for 3D models for a proper 4D planning are determined.

description: Normalised generalised gamma processes are random probability measures that induce nonparametric prior distributions widely used in Bayesian statistics, particularly for mixture modelling. We construct a class of dependent normalised generalised gamma priors induced by a stationary population model of Moran type, which exploits a generalised Pólya urn scheme associated with the prior. We study the asymptotic scaling for the dynamics of the number of clusters in the sample, which in turn provides a dynamic measure of diversity in the underlying population. The limit is formalised to be a positive nonstationary diffusion process which falls outside well known families, with unbounded drift and an entrance boundary at the origin. We also introduce a new class of stationary positive diffusions, whose invariant measures are explicit and have power law tails, which approximate weakly the scaling limit.

description: В статье рассматривается институт ответственности членов органов управления за вред, причиненный юридическому лицу, исследуются условия применения гражданско-правовой ответственности к членам органов управления, отмечается сложность выделения отдельно вины от противоправного поведения. Одним из условий применения гражданско-правовой отвественности к членам органов управления организаций выступает противоправность, которая выражается в недобросовестном, неразумном поведении члена органа управления. Для привлечения членов органов управления юридического лица к ответственности необходимо доказать, что они действовали недобросовестно и неразумно, вследствие действий таких органов управления юридическое лицо понесло убытки, то есть имеется причинная связь между действиями (бездействием) и возникшими у юридического лица убытками. Законодательно в Российской Федерации не установлены конкретные критерии соблюдения принципа разумности и добросовестности. Они раскрываются в нормативных правовых актах путем перечисления ситуаций, когда действия (бездействия) директора следует признавать неразумными или недобросовестными. На практике не всегда можно заметить, как принятые поправки доказывают свою эффективность. Проблема заключается в выработке практических рекомендаций, тогда как страдает теоретическая база, которую составляют такие категории, как «разумность», «добросовестность», «вина», «разумный предпринимательский риск». Необходимо уяснение смыслового содержания данных понятий, чтобы разработать критерии нарушения органами управления своих обязанностей. В статье также изучается опыт зарубежных стран с целью выявления ориентиров для возможной дальнейшей рецепции доказавших свою эффективность нормативных установок.
A Radical Solution to the Hubble Tension Problem

description: The Hubble tension has proven to be stubbornly persistent, despite widespread efforts to relax it. As a possible resolution of this problem we propose a radical alternative to the way in which cosmological models are viewed. Specifically, we consider building cosmological models from spaces that exhibit intrinsic symmetries, rather than as space-times with explicit symmetry. This change in perspective allows statistical homogeneity and isotropy to be maintained, while relaxing some strong mathematical constraints that the standard approach imposes. We show that a Hubble tension arises naturally in our new approach, and that (as a corollary) a prediction can be made for the radial component of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. Our prediction appears to be consistent with the DESI first-year data release, which has otherwise been interpreted as evidence for dynamical dark energy.

Пользователи его могут выбирать контент по своему желанию, в соответствии с потребностями и работать в подходящем временном режиме. Интернет постепенно вытеснил кино, книги, но, к сожалению он также вытеснил из жизни современников и живые эмоции и общение и породил явление, которое сегодня называют термином «эскапизм». Парадоксально, но живя в условиях растущего на планете населения, человек становится все более оторванным от общества, одиноким, уходя в иную реальность, предлагаемую современными технологиями, подменяя настоящую жизнь виртуальной. И если тенденция продолжится, то мы очень скоро совершенно утратим навыки простого человеческого общения и взаимодействия. Это не может не вызывать грусть и тревогу. Эскапизм имеет свои причины и социальные последствия, которые требуют изучения с целью нахождения возможных путей преодоления порождаемых им проблем. Эти обстоятельства обусловили выбор авторами настоящей темы исследования.
title: The Polarised Regime of Variational Autoencoders
Creators: name: Bonheme, Lisa
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: Variational Autoencoders ( VAEs ) learn in a polarised regime, a sparsity-enforcing regime where a subset of latent representations (the active variables) are used for reconstruction while the others (the passive variables) are ignored by the decoder. While this regime is well-studied for "standard" VAEs given a single data example, a more general analysis of its properties and impact is lacking. This work extends the polarised regime to a larger family of VAEs (including identifiable VAEs ) and to multiple data examples. After analysing the properties of this extended version, we prove that latent representations of different models learned in a polarised regime have the same number of active and passive variables when they have a high representational similarity. We further show that the polarised regime can be used to explain discrepancies between mean and sampled representations and predict a good number of latent dimensions for VAEs and deterministic Autoencoders ( AEs ). Overall, we demonstrate that the polarised regime is a valuable tool which can be used to assess, explain, and improve the quality of the latent representations learned by VAEs.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: This survey aims at reviewing recent computer vision techniques used in the assessment of image aesthetic quality. Image aesthetic assessment aims at computationally distinguishing high-quality photos from low-quality ones based on photographic rules, typically in the form of binary classification or quality scoring. A variety of approaches has been proposed in the literature trying to solve this challenging problem. In this survey, we present a systematic listing of the reviewed approaches based on visual feature types (hand-crafted features and deep features) and evaluation criteria (dataset characteristics and evaluation metrics). Main contributions and novelties of the reviewed approaches are highlighted and discussed. In addition, following the emergence of deep learning techniques, we systematically evaluate recent deep learning settings that are useful for developing a robust deep model for aesthetic scoring. Experiments are conducted using simple yet solid baselines that are competitive with the current state-of-the-arts. Moreover, we discuss the possibility of manipulating the aesthetics of images through computational approaches. We hope that our survey could serve as a comprehensive reference source for future research on the study of image aesthetic assessment.

description: In this paper we show a new way of constructing deterministic polynomial-time approximation algorithms for computing complex-valued evaluations of a large class of graph polynomials on bounded degree graphs. In particular, our approach works for the Tutte polynomial and independence polynomial, as well as partition functions of complex-valued spin and edge-coloring models. More specifically, we define a large class of graph polynomials $\mathcal C$ and show that if $p\in \cal C$ and there is a disk $D$ centered at zero in the complex plane such that $p(G)$ does not vanish on $D$ for all bounded degree graphs $G$, then for each $z$ in the interior of $D$ there exists a deterministic polynomial-time approximation algorithm for evaluating $p(G)$ at $z$. This gives an explicit connection between absence of zeros of graph polynomials and the existence of efficient approximation algorithms, allowing us to show new relationships between well-known conjectures. Our work builds on a recent line of work initiated by. Barvinok, which provides a new algorithmic approach besides the existing Markov chain Monte Carlo method and the correlation decay method for these types of problems.

description: В Свердловской области за период 2019-2021 годы валовое производство молока увеличилось на 7,15%. Поголовье коров увеличилось и составило на начало 2021 года 82817 голов. Увеличение численности коров сопровождается увеличением его продуктивности. Так удой молока на одну фуражную корову составил в 2019 году 7646 кг, в 2021 году 8123 кг [1,2,3]. В последнее время ситуация в сельском хозяйстве изменилась во многом под влиянием внешних факторов, в связи с благоприятными условиями для развития отечественных сельхозтоваропроизводителей. Также на экономическое состояние сельхозтоваропроизводителей оказывает государственная поддержка, ведомственные проекты «Цифровое сельское хозяйство». Данный проект включает множество разных платформ: «Цифровое землепользование», «Умное поле», «Умная ферма» и другие, а также интеллектуальную систему по получению государственной поддержки [6]. Объектом анализа эффективности производства и сбыта молока является организация Свердловской области ООО «Простор». За период 2019 – 2021 среднегодовое поголовье коров в организации увеличилось на 13% и в 2021 году составило 387 голов. При увеличении поголовья основного стада увеличился и объем производства молока на 15% с 31 до 36 тыс. ц. Среднегодовой удой молока от одной коровы в организации высокий и в 2021 году равен 9315 кг. Несмотря на то, что за последние три года объем производства и реализации молока вырос в 1,2 раза, а также цена реализации в отчетном году была самая высокая (2617,05 руб/ц), прибыль от реализации молока сократилась в 2,3 раза. Причиной ухудшения является рост затрат на производство и реализацию молока в 1,5 раза. Эффективная работа организации предполагает комплексный подход к решению вопросов организации производства и сбыта продукции. В соответствии с коммерческой стратегией организации, должна строиться производственная деятельность, направленная на увеличение производства продукции и снижение производственных затрат. Помимо этого, важное место должно отводиться вопросам совершенствования организационной структуры и структуры управления, совершенствованию внутрихозяйственных производственных отношений и рациональной организации производства.

description: In addition to Goldstone phonons that generically emerge in the low-frequency vibrational spectrum of any solid, crystalline or glassy, structural glasses also feature other low-frequency vibrational modes. The nature and statistical properties of these modes -- often termed `excess modes' -- have been the subject of decades-long investigation. Studying them, even using well-controlled computer glasses, has proven challenging due to strong spatial hybridization effects between phononic and nonphononic excitations, which hinder quantitative analyses of the nonphononic contribution ${\cal D}_{\rm G}(ω)$ to the total spectrum ${\cal D}(ω)$, per frequency $ω$. Here, using recent advances indicating that ${\cal D}_{\rm G}(ω)\!=\!{\cal D}(ω)-{\cal D}_{\rm D}(ω)$, where ${\cal D}_{\rm D}(ω)$ is Debye's spectrum of phonons, we present a simple and straightforward scheme to enumerate nonphononic modes in computer glasses. Our analysis establishes that nonphononic modes in computer glasses indeed make an additive contribution to the total spectrum, including in the presence of strong hybridizations. Moreover, it cleanly reveals the universal ${\cal D}_{\rm G}(ω)\!\sim\!ω^4$ tail of the nonphononic spectrum, and opens the way for related analyses of experimental spectra of glasses.

description: Fully-processed SiC power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) emit light during switching of the gate terminal, while both drain and source terminals are grounded. The emitted photons are caused by defect-assisted recombination of electrons and holes at the 4H-SiC/SiO$_2$ interface and can be detected through the SiC substrate. Here, we present time-gated spectroscopic characterization of these interfacial point defects. Unlike in previous studies, the devices were opened in such a way that the drain-contact remained electrically active. A separate examination of the photons emitted at the rising and falling transitions of the gate-source voltage enabled the extraction of two different spectral components. One of these components consists of a single transition with phonon replicas of a local vibrational mode (LVM) with an astonishingly high energy of 220 meV $\unicode{x2013}$ well above the highest phonon modes in 4H-SiC and SiO$_2$ of 120 meV and 137 meV, respectively. Based on a quantum mechanical model, we successfully fitted its emission spectrum and assigned it to donor-acceptor pair recombination involving a carbon cluster-like defect. Other transitions were assigned to EH$_{6/7}$-assisted, EK$_2$-D, and nitrogen-aluminum donor-acceptor pair recombination. Due to the relevance of these defects in the operation of SiC MOSFETs, these novel insights will contribute to improved reliability and performance of these devices.

description: We discuss the notion of matrix model, $π:C(X)\to M_K(C(T))$, for algebraic submanifolds of the free complex sphere, $X\subset S^{N-1}_{\mathbb C,+}$. When $K\in\mathbb N$ is fixed there is a universal such model, which factorizes as $π:C(X)\to C(X^{(K)})\subset M_K(C(T))$. We have $X^{(1)}=X_{class}$ and, under a mild assumption, inclusions $X^{(1)}\subset X^{(2)}\subset X^{(3)}\subset\ldots\subset X$. Our main results concern $X^{(2)},X^{(3)},X^{(4)},\ldots$, their relation with various half-classical versions of $X$, and lead to the construction of families of higher half-liberations of the complex spheres and of the unitary groups, all having faithful matrix models.

description: This report examines potential effects of the proposed Family Assistance Plan (FAP) on different U.S. regions and places of residence. Both welfare benefits and costs would increase substantially in all U.S. regions and places of residence. Benefits under FAP would increase $3.18 billion (26 percent) nationally over those under current programs. Almost twice as many families would be eligible for the basic FAP transfer than are eligible for the current Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. Compared with current programs, FAP benefit increases would be greatest in the Southern Region, especially the rural South. State differences in welfare benefit levels would be reduced under FAP, but there is little evidence that such differences affect the migration decisions of the poor. Work incentives of the poor are most likely to be affected in the Southern Region, where the benefits would increase substantially, and potential for higher earned income is low because of low skills and educational attainment.
Microscopic derivation of magnon spin current in a topological insulator/ferromagnet heterostructure

description: We investigate a spin-electricity conversion effect in a topological insulator/ferromagnet heterostructure. In the spin-momentum-locked surface state, an electric current generates nonequilibrium spin accumulation, which causes a spin-orbit torque that acts on the ferromagnet. When spins in the ferromagnet are completely parallel to the accumulated spin, this spin-orbit torque is zero. In the presence of spin excitations, however, a coupling between magnons and electrons enables us to obtain a nonvanishing torque. In this paper, we consider a model of the heterostructure in which a three-dimensional magnon gas is coupled with a two-dimensional massless Dirac electron system at the interface. We calculate the torque induced by an electric field, which can be interpreted as a magnon spin current, up to the lowest order of the electron-magnon interaction. We derive the expressions for high and low temperatures and estimate the order of magnitude of the induced spin current for realistic materials at room temperature.

description: Let $A$ be a nonempty set of positive integers. The restricted partition function $p_A(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$. When the elements in $A$ are pairwise relatively prime positive integers, Ehrhart, Sertöz-Özlük, and Brown-Chou-Shiue derived three reduction formulas for $p_A(n)$ for $A$ with three parameters. We extend their findings for general $A$ using the Bernoulli-Barnes polynomials.
Internal sites of actuation and activation in thin elastic films and membranes of finite thickness

description: Functionalized thin elastic films and membranes frequently feature internal sites of net forces or stresses. These are, for instance, active sites of actuation, or rigid inclusions in a strained membrane that induce counterstress upon externally imposed deformations. We theoretically analyze the geometry of isotropic, flat, thin, linearly elastic films or membranes of finite thickness, laterally extended to infinity. At the mathematical core of such characterizations are the fundamental solutions for localized force and stress singularities associated with corresponding Green's functions. We derive such solutions in three dimensions and place them into the context of previous two-dimensional calculations. To this end, we consider both no-slip and stress-free conditions at the top and/or bottom surfaces. We provide an understanding for why the fully free-standing thin elastic membrane leads to diverging solutions in most geometries and compare these situations to the truly two-dimensional case. A no-slip support of at least one of the surfaces stabilizes the solution, which illustrates that the divergences in the fully free-standing case are connected to global deformations. Within the mentioned framework, our results are important for associated theoretical characterizations of thin elastic films, whether supported or free-standing, and of membranes subject to internal or external forces or stresses.

Alloy-like behaviour of the thermal conductivity of non-symmetric superlattices

description: In this work, we show a phenomenological alloy-like fit of the thermal conductivity of (A)d1:(B)d2 superlattices with d1 /= d2, i.e. non-symmetric structure. The presented method is a generalization of the Norbury rule of the summation of thermal resistivities in alloy compounds. Namely, we show that this approach can be also extended to describe the thermal properties of crystalline and ordered-system composed by two or more elements, and, has a potentially much wider application range. Using this approximation we estimate that the interface thermal resistance depends on the period and the ratio of materials that form the superlattice structure

description: Current and planned observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization anisotropies, with their ever increasing number of detectors, have reached a potential accuracy that requires a very demanding control of systematic effects. While some of these systematics can be reduced in the design of the instruments, others will have to be modeled and hopefully accounted for or corrected a posteriori. We propose QuickPol, a quick and accurate calculation of the full effective beam transfer function and of temperature to polarization leakage at the power spectra level, as induced by beam imperfections and mismatches between detector optical and electronic responses. All the observation details such as exact scanning strategy, imperfect polarization measurements, and flagged samples are accounted for. Our results are validated on Planck high frequency instrument (HFI) simulations. We show how the pipeline can be used to propagate instrumental uncertainties up to the final science products, and could be applied to experiments with rotating half-wave plates.

description: Shipments of agricultural products by rail have increased moderately most years since 1954. However, the increases have been primarily in semiperishable products, such as grains. Shipments of most perishables have declined. Revenues from farm products tended to decline over the 1954-69 period. In 1969, revenues from farm products were 87 percent of the 1954 level while tonnages were 107 percent. Lower rates for most agricultural products and the loss of considerable perishable products traffic account for the drop in revenues.

description: A necessary capability for humanoid robots is the ability to stand and walk while rejecting natural disturbances. Recent progress has been made using sim-to-real reinforcement learning (RL) to train such locomotion controllers, with approaches differing mainly in their reward functions. However, prior works lack a clear method to systematically test new reward functions and compare controller performance through repeatable experiments. This limits our understanding of the trade-offs between approaches and hinders progress. To address this, we propose a low-cost, quantitative benchmarking method to evaluate and compare the real-world performance of standing and walking (SaW) controllers on metrics like command following, disturbance recovery, and energy efficiency. We also revisit reward function design and construct a minimally constraining reward function to train SaW controllers. We experimentally verify that our benchmarking framework can identify areas for improvement, which can be systematically addressed to enhance the policies. We also compare our new controller to state-of-the-art controllers on the Digit humanoid robot. The results provide clear quantitative trade-offs among the controllers and suggest directions for future improvements to the reward functions and expansion of the benchmarks.
