description: Irrigated agricultural production in Uzbekistan is threatened by the impacts of land degradation, irrigation water scarcity and climate change. The conversion of marginal croplands to tree plantations is an option for rehabilitation of nutrient-depleted cropland soils, saving of irrigation water, carbon sequestration, and improving population welfare. The economic benefits and impacts of tree planting on marginal croplands, and policies that may facilitate the adoption of this land use are not well known. We employed various methods at different scales to investigate economically viable options of afforestation on marginal croplands on example of irrigated drylands of Uzbekistan. This includes analyzing the impacts of afforestation supported by the carbon (C) sequestration reward on the rural livelihoods. At field level (one hectare), the stochastic dominance analysis was employed to investigate the financial attractiveness of afforestation on marginal farmlands under uncertainty. At the farm level, the expected utility method was employed to analyze effects of this land use change on farm incomes. To consider the bimodal structure of agriculture in Uzbekistan, the stochastic dynamic farm-household model was developed. The results indicate that due to benefits from non-timber products, afforestation is a more viable land use option on marginal lands than crop cultivation. Allowing the exemption of marginal lands from cotton cropping in favor of tree planting would incentivize afforestation. At the same time, the field level analysis indicates that due to variability in returns a substantial increase in C prices would make afforestation as financially attractive as crops on marginal lands. However, when considering uncertainties in land use returns at the whole farm level, afforestation would occur without the C incentives due to improved irrigation water use efficiency and reduced revenue risks through land use diversification. Through the considered farm-household wage-labor relationship, the benefits of afforestation on marginal croplands at farm would be also transferred to rural smallholders employed at this farm. This would mainly result from improved payment structure by tree products, particularly fuelwood and foliage for livestock fodder.

description: We prove the Ax-Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem with derivatives for the uniformizing functions of genus zero Fuchsian groups of the first kind. Our proof relies on differential Galois theory, monodromy of linear differential equations, the study of algebraic and Liouvillian solutions, differential algebraic work of Nishioka towards the Painlevé irreducibility of certain Schwarzian equations, and considerable machinery from the model theory of differentially closed fields.
Our techniques allow for certain generalizations of the Ax-Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem which have interesting consequences. In particular, we apply our results to give a complete proof of an assertion of Painlevé (1895). We also answer certain cases of the André-Pink conjecture, namely in the case of orbits of commensurators of Fuchsian groups.

description: Poor paraphrasing can be a sign of underdeveloped writing skills that can lead to plagiarism. One example of poor paraphrasing is Rogeting, which is the substitution of words with their synonyms using Roget’s thesaurus or other digital synonym providers. In this position paper, we discuss Rogeting as a form of poor paraphrasing that may lead to academic integrity breaches, such as plagiarism. We discuss methods of identifying Rogeted text, concluding with practical recommendations for educators about how to better support student writers so they can avoid Rogeting in favour of developing their writing skills.

description: At the township level, combining Voronoi diagram and breaking point theory, this paper divides township grade system and its scope of influence in Dafang County of Guizhou Province, and discusses the grade system from small scale perspective. Results show that Dafang County takes Dafang Town as the center, Dashi Town in the north and Shachang Township in the east as auxiliary part, Sanyuan Township, Zhuyuan Township, Babao Township, Pudi Township, Lihua Township, and Dingxin Township as cooperative part, to drive development of 36 townships in Dafang County. Thus, it basically reflects township grade of Dafang County, accords with current development situation, provides certain reference value for system planning and economic zoning of small scale regions, and it is able to improve the accuracy of scope division by completing attribute data and revision of many methods.

description: Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is a promising method for producing large-scale graphene (Gr). Nevertheless, microscopic inhomogeneity of Gr grown on traditional metal substrates such as copper or nickel results in a spatial variation of Gr properties due to long wrinkles formed when the metal substrate shrinks during the cooling part of the production cycle. Recently, molybdenum (Mo) has emerged as an alternative substrate for CVD growth of Gr, mainly due to a better matching of the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate and Gr. We investigate the quality of multilayer Gr grown on Mo and the relation between Gr morphology and nanoscale mechanical and electrical properties, and spatial homogeneity of these parameters. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) based scratching, Kelvin probe force microscopy, and conductive AFM, we measure friction and wear, surface potential, and local conductivity, respectively. We find that Gr grown on Mo is free of large wrinkles that are common with growth on other metals, although it contains a dense network of small wrinkles. We demonstrate that as a result of this unique and favorable morphology, the Gr studied here has low friction, high wear resistance, and excellent homogeneity of electrical surface potential and conductivity.

description: NGC 2359 is a Wolf-Rayet (W-R) nebula partially bound by a rather dense and warm molecular cloud. We present the results derived from CO and $^{13}$CO fully sampled maps of the molecular material with angular resolutions up to 12". We have detected three different velocity components, and determined their spatial distribution and physical properties. The kinematics, morphology, mass and density are clearly stratified with respect to the W-R star. These features allow us to learn about the recent evolutionary history of HD 56925, because the multiple layers could be associated to several energetic events which have acted upon the surrounding circumstellar medium. Hence, a careful study of the different shockfronts contain clues in determining the present and past interaction of this evolved massive star with its surroundings. From the analysis of the mass-loss history in massive stars like HD 56925, we suggest that the multiple layers of shocked molecular gas are likely to be produced during the earlier LBV phase and/or the actual W-R stage of HD 56925.

description: From a geometric approach, we derive the minimum number of applications needed for an arbitrary Controlled-Unitary gate to construct a universal quantum circuit. A new analytic construction procedure is presented and shown to be either optimal or close to optimal. This result can be extended to improve the efficiency of universal quantum circuit construction from any entangling gate. Specifically, for both the Controlled-NOT and Double-CNOT gates, we develop simple analytic ways to construct universal quantum circuits with three applications, which is the least possible.

description: A numerical method is presented to compute the eigenmodes supported by three dimensional (3D) metamaterials using the Method of Moments (MoM). The method relies on interstitial equivalent currents between layers. First, a parabolic formulation is presented. Then, we present an iterative technique that can be used to linearize the problem. In this way, all the eigenmodes characterized by their transmission coefficients and equivalent interstitial currents can be found using a simple eigenvalue decomposition of a matrix. The accuracy that can be achieved is only limited by the quality of simulation, and we demonstrate that the error introduced when linearizing the problem decreases doubly exponentially with respect to the time devoted to the iterative process. We also draw a mathematical link and distinguish the proposed method from other transfer-matrix based methods available in the literature.

description: We develop the theory of a special type of scattering state in which a set of asymptotic channels are chosen as inputs and the complementary set as outputs, and there is zero reflection back into the input channels. In general an infinite number of such solutions exist at discrete complex frequencies. Our results apply to linear electromagnetic and acoustic wave scattering and also to quantum scattering, in all dimensions, for arbitrary geometries including scatterers in free space, and for any choice of the input/output sets. We refer to such a state as reflection-zero (R-zero) when it occurs off the real-frequency axis and as an Reflectionless Scattering Mode (RSM) when it is tuned to a real frequency as a steady-state solution. Such reflectionless behavior requires a specific monochromatic input wavefront, given by the eigenvector of a filtered scattering matrix with eigenvalue zero. Steady-state RSMs may be realized by index tuning which do not break flux conservation or by gain-loss tuning. RSMs of flux-conserving cavities are bidirectional while those of non-flux-conserving cavities are generically unidirectional. Cavities with ${\cal PT}$-symmetry have unidirectional R-zeros in complex-conjugate pairs, implying that reflectionless states naturally arise at real frequencies for small gain-loss parameter but move into the complex-frequency plane after a spontaneous ${\cal PT}$-breaking transition. Numerical examples of RSMs are given for one-dimensional cavities with and without gain/loss, a ${\cal PT}$ cavity, a two-dimensional multiwaveguide junction, and a two-dimensional deformed dielectric cavity in free space. We outline and implement a general technique for solving such problems, which shows promise for designing photonic structures which are perfectly impedance-matched for specific inputs, or can perfectly convert inputs from one set of modes to a complementary set.

description: Light-induced rotation of absorbing microscopic particles by transfer of angular momentum from light to the material raises the possibility of optically driven micromachines. The phenomenon has been observed using elliptically polarized laser beams or beams with helical phase structure. But it is difficult to develop high power in such experiments because of overheating and unwanted axial forces, limiting the achievable rotation rates to a few hertz. This problem can in principle be overcome by using transparent particles, transferring angular momentum by a mechanism first observed by Beth in 1936, when he reported a tiny torque developed in a quartz waveplate due to the change in polarization of transmitted light. Here we show that an optical torque can be induced on microscopic birefringent particles of calcite held by optical tweezers. Depending on the polarization of the incident beam, the particles either become aligned with the plane of polarization (and thus can be rotated through specified angles) or spin with constant rotation frequency. Because these microscopic particles are transparent, they can be held in three-dimensional optical traps at very high power without heating. We have observed rotation rates in excess of 350 Hz.

description: Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has become a hot topic in the field of remote sensing. In general, the complex characteristics of hyperspectral data make the accurate classification of such data challenging for traditional machine learning methods. In addition, hyperspectral imaging often deals with an inherently nonlinear relation between the captured spectral information and the corresponding materials. In recent years, deep learning has been recognized as a powerful feature-extraction tool to effectively address nonlinear problems and widely used in a number of image processing tasks. Motivated by those successful applications, deep learning has also been introduced to classify HSIs and demonstrated good performance. This survey paper presents a systematic review of deep learning-based HSI classification literatures and compares several strategies for this topic. Specifically, we first summarize the main challenges of HSI classification which cannot be effectively overcome by traditional machine learning methods, and also introduce the advantages of deep learning to handle these problems. Then, we build a framework which divides the corresponding works into spectral-feature networks, spatial-feature networks, and spectral-spatial-feature networks to systematically review the recent achievements in deep learning-based HSI classification. In addition, considering the fact that available training samples in the remote sensing field are usually very limited and training deep networks require a large number of samples, we include some strategies to improve classification performance, which can provide some guidelines for future studies on this topic. Finally, several representative deep learning-based classification methods are conducted on real HSIs in our experiments.

description: Reconstruction of a dynamical system from a time series requires the selection of two parameters, the embedding dimension $d_e$ and the embedding lag $τ$. Many competing criteria to select these parameters exist, and all are heuristic. Within the context of modeling the evolution operator of the underlying dynamical system, we show that one only need be concerned with the product $d_eτ$. We introduce an information theoretic criteria for the optimal selection of the embedding window $d_w=d_eτ$. For infinitely long time series this method is equivalent to selecting the embedding lag that minimises the nonlinear model prediction error. For short and noisy time series we find that the results of this new algorithm are data dependent and superior to estimation of embedding parameters with the standard techniques.

description: We introduce a dataset for studying the evolution of words, constructed from WordNet and the Google Books Ngram Corpus. The dataset tracks the evolution of 4,000 synonym sets (synsets), containing 9,000 English words, from 1800 AD to 2000 AD. We present a supervised learning algorithm that is able to predict the future leader of a synset: the word in the synset that will have the highest frequency. The algorithm uses features based on a word's length, the characters in the word, and the historical frequencies of the word. It can predict change of leadership (including the identity of the new leader) fifty years in the future, with an F-score considerably above random guessing. Analysis of the learned models provides insight into the causes of change in the leader of a synset. The algorithm confirms observations linguists have made, such as the trend to replace the -ise suffix with -ize, the rivalry between the -ity and -ness suffixes, and the struggle between economy (shorter words are easier to remember and to write) and clarity (longer words are more distinctive and less likely to be confused with one another). The results indicate that integration of the Google Books Ngram Corpus with WordNet has significant potential for improving our understanding of how language evolves.

 Notes. This predominately Oriental species was described from Sri Lanka and recorded from major parts of India and Nepal (BRANCUCCI 1983). VAZIRANI (1969a) listed Burma and Pakistan, and WEWALKA (1975) published records from Iran. However, NILSSON (2003, 2005) did not record this species from Iran. The specimens from desert habitats in Baluchistan have pale testaceous elytra with reduced brownish coloration (Fig. 2). However, other morphological characters as well as the shape of median lobe (Fig. 4) agree well with typical specimens from Sri Lanka and southern India.

description: The effect of pressure on the thermal expansion of solid CH$_4$ is calculated for the low temperature region where the contributions from phonons and librons can be neglected and only the rotational tunnelling modes are essential. The effect of pressure is shown to increase the magnitude of the peaks of the negative thermal expansion and shifts the positions of the peaks to the low-temperature region, which goes asymptotically to zero temperature with increasing pressure. The Gruneisen thermodynamical parameter for the rotational tunnelling modes is calculated. It is large, negative, and increases in magnitude with rising pressure.
Measuring Hypnotic Suggestibility in Clinical Sessions: A Rapid Assessment Approach
Creators: name: Tencl, Jakub
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper presents a practical and efficient method for assessing hypnotic suggestibility in clinical settings without the need for lengthy standardized tests. By utilizing four observable behavioral variables—blink rate reduction, eye roll response, finger lock test, and response time to verbal suggestion—the study introduces a formula-based approach to estimating both direct and indirect suggestibility. The methodology is designed for rapid application before hypnosis, allowing practitioners to tailor their hypnotic techniques based on individual responsiveness. The paper also reviews previous formula-based models and provides a step-by-step guide for conducting the assessment.

With the contention intensity information, the MAC layer design of CIDC allows vehicles to adopt a better channel access strategy compared to the 802.11p. This is because CIDC selects the initial back-off counter for each new packet deterministically, i.e., based on the contention intensity, instead of randomly. The proposed CIDC is modeled, and key performance indicators in terms of the packet collision probability and average contention delay, are derived. It is shown that the proposed change in the initial counter selection leads to a system model completely different from the classic Markov chain based model. Moreover, the proposed CIDC, fully distributed and compatible with the 802.11p, can achieve both a much lower collision probability and a smaller contention delay compared with 802.11p at the cost of a small communication and computation overhead. Extensive simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the CIDC in both of the accurate and the erroneous contention intensity estimation scenarios.

description: It is shown that the N=3 harmonic-superfield equations of motion are invariant with respect to the 4-th supersymmetry. The SU(3) harmonics are also used to analyze a more flexible form of superfield constraints for the Abelian N=4 vector multiplet and its N=3 decomposition. An alternative unusual representation of the N=4 supersymmetry is realized on infinite multiplets of analytic superfields in the N=3 harmonic superspace. U(1) charges of superfields in these multiplets are parametrized by an integer- valued parameter which plays the role of the discrete coordinate. Each superfield term of the N=3 Yang-Mills action has the infinite-dimensional N=4 generalization. The gauge group of this model contains an infinite number of superfield parameters.

 Notes. The nominotypical subspecies of Laccophilus maindroni Régimbart, 1897, is endemic to Oman. BRANCUCCI (1983) described a new subspecies from the Hormozgan province in southern Iran. The present findings in Pakistan make its occurrence in the entire Baluchistan area very likely. First record from Pakistan.

description: We classify all finite linear spaces on at most 15 points admitting a blocking set. There are no such spaces on 11 or fewer points, one on 12 points, one on 13 points, two on 14 points, and five on 15 points. The proof makes extensive use of the notion of the weight of a point in a 2-coloured finite linear space, as well as the distinction between minimal and non-minimal 2-coloured finite linear spaces. We then use this classification to draw some conclusions on two open problems on the 2-colouring of configurations of points.

Jamming, two-fluid behaviour and 'self-filtration' in concentrated particulate suspensions

description: We study the flow of model experimental hard sphere colloidal suspensions at high volume fraction $Φ$ driven through a constriction by a pressure gradient. Above a particle-size dependent limit $Φ_0$, direct microscopic observations demonstrate jamming and unjamming--conversion of fluid to solid and vice versa--during flow. We show that such a jamming flow produces a reduction in colloid concentration $Φ_{x}$ downstream of the constriction. We propose that this `self-filtration' effect is the consequence of a combination of jamming of the particulate part of the system and continuing flow of the liquid part, i.e. the solvent, through the pores of the jammed solid. Thus we link the concept of jamming in colloidal and granular media with a 'two-fluid'-like picture of the flow of concentrated suspensions. Results are also discussed in the light of Osborne Reynolds' original experiments on dilation in granular materials.

description: In der vorliegenden Studie wird die Entwicklung der Ausgaben und Inanspruchnahme von Leistungen in der sozialen Pflegeversicherung in den Jahren 1997 bis 2001 analysiert. Grundlage der Analyse sind die Finanz- und Leistungsdaten der sozialen Pflegeversicherung. Die Analyse führt zu dem Ergebnis, dass das zenrale Problem der Pflegeversicherung nicht auf der Ausgabenseite liegt, sondern auf der Einnahmeseite. Ebenso wie in der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung ist seit längerer Zeit eine Erosion der Einnahmegrundlage feststellbar, die immer wieder zu Beitragssatzerhöhungen gezwungen hat. Die beitragspflichtigen Einnahmen der Mitglieder halten nicht mit der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Entwicklung Schritt. Auf der Ausgabenseite ist besonders auffällig, dass der Anteil der Pflegebedürftigen in Pflegeheimen überproportional zugenommen hat. In einzelnen Altersgruppen stieg ihre Zahl in nur vier Jahren um bis zu 60%. Die höchsten Steigerungsraten traten deutlich unterhalb der Altersgrenze von 65 Jahren auf. Diese Entwicklung ist insofern sehr problematisch, als Pflegebedürftige und Angehörige die Versorgung in der häuslichen Umgebung eindeutig bevorzugen. In der Studie wird auf Grundlage vorliegender Forschungsergebnisse zur Situation von Pflegebedürftigen und pflegenden Angehörigen der Frage nachgegangen, welches die Ursachen für den überproportionalen Anstieg der Inanspruchnahme von Pflege in Heimen sein könnten.

description: Novel fermions with a pseudospin-1 structure can be realized as emergent quasiparticles in condensed matter systems. Here, we investigate its unusual properties during the Andreev reflection at a normal-metal/superconductor (NS) interface. We show that distinct from the previously studied pseudospin-1/2 and two dimensional electron gas models, the pseudospin-1 fermions exhibit a strongly enhanced Andreev reflection probability, and remarkably, can be further tuned to approach perfect Andreev reflection with unit efficiency for all incident angles, exhibiting a previously unknown {super-Andreev reflection effect}. The super-Andreev reflection leads to perfect transparency of the NS interface that strongly promotes charge injection into the superconductor, and directly manifests as a differential conductance peak which can be readily probed in experiment. Additionally, we find that sizable longitudinal shifts exist in the normal and Andreev reflections of pseudospin-1 fermions. Distinct from the pseudospin-1/2 case, the shift is always in the forward direction in the subgap regime, regardless of whether the reflection is of retro- or specular type.

description: Die wirtschaftspolitische Förderung von Existenz- und besonders Unternehmensgründungen zielt auf die Schaffung von Wertschöpfung und damit von Einkommen, Nachfrage und Wachstum im Kontext regionaler Mikrokreisläufe. In diesem Zusammenhang besteht die Aufgabe der Existenzgründungsberatung im Hinblick auf die Gründungsplanung und die nachfolgende Gründungsrealisierung in der Vermeidung oder Minimierung der Gründungsrisiken. Diese Risiken werden hier anhand des modifizierten Modells der Gewinnschwellenanalyse (Break – Even - Analyse) aufgezeigt und in ihren Konsequenzen erläutert. Zugleich wird erkennbar, wie sie vermieden oder minimiert werden können. Und eine phasenorientierte, am Projektmanagement orientierte praktische Vorgehensweise, in deren Mittelpunkt der Geschäftsplan (Business Plan) steht, gewährleistet die nötige Systematik, die begleitende Qualitätssicherung und die betriebswirtschaftliche Steuerung des mehrjährigen Gründungsprozesses.
