Please, Reboot -Small Economies and the WTO Appellate Mechanism in Times of Trade War and COVID-19
Creators: name: Sieber, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The fact that the major economic blocs today no longer agree on which rules should apply in global trade reveals weaknesses in the WTO system and leads to the (temporary) downgrading of the WTO from a law enforcement agency to an administrator. This paper takes a closer look at the legal protection of trade interests of small and independent economies before the crisis in multilateralism and discusses to what extent the heavy dependence of the rules-based trading system on consensus among major economic blocs may have contributed to its current crises. It then turns to exploring alternative instruments for the legal protection of trade interests of small and independent economies outside of the WTO system, and to – from the perspective of small and independent economies – most critical practical and legal shortfalls in the previous WTO dispute settlement system, which ought to be addressed in the interest of all WTO members when considering re-establishing the WTO appellate mechanism in international trade disputes.

description: The European Union (EU) produces 15% of its agricultural production in the dairy industry. The article focuses on the European Union and Visegrad Group’s (VG) dairy export and analyses it with Balassa’s (Revealed Comparative Advantage, RCA) index. Our aim is to explore the foundations of EU's competitiveness and the role and opportunities of the dairy sector in VG countries. The analysis is based on EU dairy export data for the period 2000-2017. The main result of the analysis is that the most competitive countries in terms of export performance (Denmark, France, Ireland and Belgium) do not fully align with the order of the largest dairy producing and processing countries (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands) or the largest dairy exporters (Germany, the Netherlands, France and Belgium). We have discovered that some EU countries have a really strong, dominant competitive advantage. The reason for this is that the highest customer value can be achieved through the production of highly processed products, and the most competitive countries specialize in the production of one or a few of these products.

description: We calculate the production rate of the Higgs boson at the LHC in the context of general 5 dimensional (5D) warped scenarios with spacetime background modified from the usual $AdS_5$, and where all the SM fields, including the Higgs, propagate in the bulk. This modification can alleviate considerably the bounds coming from precision electroweak tests and flavor physics. We evaluate the Higgs production rate and show that it is generically consistent with the current experimental results from the LHC for Kaluza-Klein (KK) masses as low as 2 TeV, unlike in pure $AdS_5$ scenarios, where for the same masses, the Higgs production typically receives corrections too large to be consistent with LHC data. Thus the new pressure on warped models arising from LHC Higgs data is also alleviated in $AdS_5$-modified warped scenarios.

description: The paper focuses on the analysis of the applicability of usability and UX methods in the development of applications intended for use in the agrarian sector. In addition to an overview of methods and approaches suitable for this purpose, the process of advanced adoption of the UX methods in the development of agrarian software products is also described. The article also discusses ways to enable partially automated, time-efficient, and cost-effective solutions for the creation of interfaces for agricultural applications. Possibilities of future development and technologies related to the usability of products in agriculture are also outlined. The article thus covers the concept for optimizing the development of agricultural products. The main contribution is the input analysis for the future development of the agrarian design system. From such a synthesized system design, it is then possible to create application interfaces that should have seamless usability and good UX.

description: DC current injection at high voltage potential allows adequate testing of HVDC components according to their later operation. Several concepts are possible. To achieve high current and high voltage ratings by stacking of several components, capacitive current injection is a reasonable concept. It consists of a feeding unit, the transmission path and the rectifier at high voltage potential. It is shown how the components can be built and which technical parameters are required inside the generator. The overall goal of the project is the upscaling of the concept up to 5000 A DC current on a high DC voltage potential of 660 kV. Challenges and solutions during the design phase of the upscaled generator are discussed. Pictures of the generator components are shown, as well as first experiences with the upscaled generator. Summarized, the contribution demonstrates that this generator concept for DC current injection at high voltage potential is technically feasible for high equipment ratings.

description: This report focuses on the activities undertaken in Year two of the project, which revolved mainly around the design of the motorising solution (work package 3) and the definition of the service (work package 4). Within work packages (WP) 5 and 6, the process and production infrastructure for the FreeWheel unit have been analysed and set up ready for validation. The above activities were complemented by the development of the Lifecycle Engineering Platform and the definition of the FreeWheel Round Robin Parts in WP3, and the set up of the integration of the motorising solution with the rack for the storage of the FreeWheel motorising units and the digital platform supporting the mobility services (WP7). Activities on FreeWheel awareness raising have continued with an acceleration on activities on exploitation of the results (WP9). A short description of activities expected within the next year for the WPs active or to beinitiated is also provided.

description: Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones in response to chemical signals secreted by, for example, a wound or a tumour. In this paper, we propose a mesoscopic lattice-based model of angiogenesis, in which processes that include proliferation and cell movement are considered as stochastic events. By studying the dependence of the model on the lattice spacing and the number of cells involved, we are able to derive the deterministic continuum limit of our equations and compare it to similar existing models of angiogenesis. We further identify conditions under which the use of continuum models is justified, and others for which stochastic or discrete effects dominate. We also compare different stochastic models for the movement of endothelial tip cells which have the same macroscopic, deterministic behaviour, but lead to markedly different behaviour in terms of production of new vessel cells.

description: In this paper, we address the classical problem of maximum-likelihood (ML) detection of data in the presence of random phase noise. We consider a system, where the random phase noise affecting the received signal is first compensated by a tracker/estimator. Then the phase error and its statistics are used for deriving the ML detector. Specifically, we derive an ML detector based on a Gaussian assumption for the phase error probability density function (PDF). Further without making any assumptions on the phase error PDF, we show that the actual ML detector can be reformulated as a weighted sum of central moments of the phase error PDF. We present a simple approximation of this new ML rule assuming that the phase error distribution is unknown. The ML detectors derived are also the aposteriori probabilities of the transmitted symbols, and are referred to as soft metrics. Then, using the detector developed based on Gaussian phase error assumption, we derive the symbol error probability (SEP) performance and error floor analytically for arbitrary constellations. Finally we compare SEP performance of the various detectors/metrics in this work and those from literature for different signal constellations, phase noise scenarios and SNR values.

description: The paper deals with using commercial WiFi solutions that provide wireless connection to computer networks to monitor the movement of devices within that network. Current technologies, in particular in the IoT area, make it possible to place a battery sensory device on individual objects used on the farm. These sensors, in addition to their primary ability to provide connectivity, can also be used to monitor the movement of the devices they are attached to. Indirectly, it is therefore possible to monitor the movement of objects, people and animals that are associated with this WiFi or Bluetooth device. An example could be the monitoring of the feed wagon's movement on the farm, while obtaining information about the actual amount of cargo. This allows for optimizing logistics operations or track the movement of employees with fitness bracelets. The aim of the paper is to verify the possibilities of currently available commercial wifi systems and their use for monitoring movement on the farm.
Quadratic control of quantum processes

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: Within the framework of the Accardi-Fagnola-Quaegebeur (AFQ) representation free calculus of \cite{b}, we consider the problem of controlling the size of a quantum stochastic flow generated by a unitary stochastic evolution affected by quantum noise. In the case when the evolution is driven by first order white noise (which includes quantum Brownian motion) the control is shown to be given in terms of the solution of an algebraic Riccati equation. This is done by first solving the problem of controlling (by minimizing an associated quadratic performance criterion) a stochastic process whose evolution is described by a stochastic differential equation of the type considerd in \cite{b}. The solution is given as a feedback control law in terms of the solution of a stochastic Riccati equation.

The role of smartphone applications in preventing Type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic literature review, meta-analysis and a qualitative study
Creators: name: Jahan, Esrat
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Background: Prevention of Type 2 diabetes among high risk patients is required to reduce the burden of disease. Mobile technologies offer new possibilities to support patients with behaviour change and lifestyle improvement to prevent type 2 diabetes. Aims: To review the evidence on smartphone application (app) interventions for reducing risk factors for type 2 diabetes and understand patient perspectives on their use. Methods: A systematic literature review, meta-analysis and a qualitative study were conducted. The review included experimental and qualitative studies evaluating apps for prevention of type 2 diabetes, focusing on any health- related measures or patient perspectives. The qualitative study comprised semi-structured interviews with patients at risk of developing type 2 diabetes to understand their perspectives on using apps in reducing the risk factors. Transcripts were thematically analysed. Results: The systematic review showed that the use of apps in type 2 diabetes prevention is still in an early stage of research. Fifteen articles were included, with most studies being randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental. Reduction in weight and body mass index were the most consistent finding among experimental studies. Qualitative findings indicated that the most preferred app features included automated self- monitoring (e.g. tracking physical activity), education and personalised feedback. The conducted qualitative study expanded on these results by highlighting the relevance of app features supporting healthy lifestyle, and by reinforcing that patient-clinician communication, automated tracking, and personalised educational support are essential to improve knowledge, motivation, and self-management. Conclusion: Smartphone health applications seem to be effective in mitigating the risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. Findings from this thesis suggest smartphone health applications may be efficacious in improving risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes but further research is needed, particularly robust randomised controlled trials. Highly valued features by patients included automated and personalized self-monitoring and feedback, tailored educational content, and patient-clinician communication.

Long-Term Timing and Glitch Characteristics of Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-400910

description: We present the results of our detailed timing studies of an anomalous X-ray pulsar, 1RXS J170849.0-400910, using Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations spanning over ~6 yr from 2005 until the end of RXTE mission. We constructed the long-term spin characteristics of the source and investigated time and energy dependence of pulse profile and pulsed count rates. We find that pulse profile and pulsed count rates in the 2-10 keV band do not show any significant variations in ~6 yr. 1RXS J170849.0-400910 has been the most frequently glitching anomalous X-ray pulsar: three spin-up glitches and three candidate glitches were observed prior to 2005. Our extensive search for glitches later in the timeline resulted in no unambiguous glitches though we identified two glitch candidates (with Delta(nu)/nu ~10^{-6}) in two data gaps: a strong candidate around MJD 55532 and another one around MJD 54819, which is slightly less robust. We discuss our results in the context of pulsar glitch models and expectancy of glitches within the vortex unpinning model.

description: In a series of papers, P. Blasiak et al. developed a wide-ranging generalization of Bell numbers (and of Stirling numbers of the second kind) that appears to be relevant to the so-called Boson normal ordering problem. They provided a recurrence and, more recently, also offered a (fairly complex) combinatorial interpretation of these numbers. We show that by restricting the numbers somewhat (but still widely generalizing Bell and Stirling numbers), one can supply a much more natural combinatorial interpretation. In fact, we offer two different such interpretations, one in terms of graph colourings and another one in terms of certain labelled Eulerian digraphs.

description: The Earth's atmosphere is an integral part of the detector in ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (IACT) experiments and has to be taken into account in the calibration. Atmospheric and hardware-related deviations from simulated conditions can result in the mis-reconstruction of primary particle energies and therefore of source spectra. During the eight years of observations with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in Namibia, the overall yield in Cherenkov photons has varied strongly with time due to gradual hardware aging, together with adjustments of the hardware components, and natural, as well as anthropogenic, variations of the atmospheric transparency. Here we present robust data selection criteria that minimize these effects over the full data set of the H.E.S.S. experiment and introduce the Cherenkov transparency coefficient as a new atmospheric monitoring quantity. The influence of atmospheric transparency, as quantified by this coefficient, on energy reconstruction and spectral parameters is examined and its correlation with the aerosol optical depth (AOD) of independent MISR satellite measurements and local measurements of atmospheric clarity is investigated.

Year: 2021

description: Superimposed voltage testing with oscillating impulse voltage offers many advantages for long-term testing of large test assemblies. The contribution will show how superimposed voltage testing with OLI/OSI voltages can be realized in high voltage laboratories and discuss superimposed OLI/OSI testing using spark gaps as coupling elements. Laboratory results have shown that with the help of spark gaps superposition of OLI/OSI voltage can be realized more easily than it is the case for conventional standard LI and SI voltage. Certain effects are observed at superimposed OLI/OSI testing. They influence amplitude and shape of the test voltage and thus have to be considered for generator design and during testing. Experimental laboratory results as well as simulations elaborate the effects.
Growth of brightest cluster galaxies via mergers since z = 1

description: Hierarchical assembly within clusters of galaxies is tied directly to the evolution of the Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), which dominate the stellar light in the centres of rich clusters. In this paper we investigate the number of mergers onto BCGs in 14 X-ray selected clusters over the redshift range 0.8 < z < 1.4 using HST imaging data. We find significant differences in the numbers of companion galaxies to BCGs between the clusters in our sample indicating that BCGs in similar mass clusters can have very different merging histories. Within a 50 kpc radius around the BCGs we find an average of 6.45 \pm 1.15 companion galaxies with mass ratios (companion:BCG) between 1:1 and 1:20. The infalling companions show a 50/50 split between major (1:1 - 1:2) and minor (1:3 - 1:20) mergers. When compared to similar work using lower redshift clusters, these results demonstrate that both major and minor merging was more common in the past. Since the dynamical timescales for merging onto the BCG are relatively short compared with the look-back time to z ~ 1 our results suggest that the BCG stellar mass may increase by as much as 1.8 times since z = 1. However the growth rate of BCGs will be substantially less if stripped material from nearby companions ends up in the diffuse intracluster light.

description: Landfill disposal and waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration remain the two principal options for managing municipal solid waste (MSW). One critical determinant of the acceptability of these options is the different health risks associated with each. In this analysis relying on published data and exposure modeling, we have performed health risk assessments for landfill disposal versus WTE treatment options for the management of New York City’s MSW. These are based on the realistic scenario of using a waste transfer station (WTS) in Brooklyn and then transporting the untreated MSW by truck to a landfill in Pennsylvania or using a WTE facility in Brooklyn and then transporting the resultant ash by truck to a landfill in Pennsylvania. The overall results indicate that the individual cancer risks for both options would be considered generally acceptable, although the risk from landfilling is approximately 5 times greater than from WTE treatment; the individual non-cancer health risks for both options would be considered generally unacceptable, although once again the risk from landfilling is approximately 5 times greater than from WTE treatment. If one considers only the population in Brooklyn that would be directly affected by the siting of either a WTS or a WTE facility in their immediate neighborhood, individual cancer and non-cancer health risks for both options would be considered generally acceptable, but risks for the former remain considerably higher than for the latter. These results should be considered preliminary due to several limitations of this study such as: consideration of risks only from inhalation exposures; assumption that only volume and not composition of the waste stream is altered by WTE treatment; reliance on data from the literature rather than actual measurements of the sites considered, assuming comparability of the sites. However, the results of studies such as this, in conjunction with ecological, socioeconomic and equity considerations, should prove useful to environmental managers, regulators, policy makers, community representatives and other stakeholders in making sound and acceptable decisions regarding the optimal handling of MSW.

In order to study the effect of screening in the Coulomb interaction on the electronic and optical properties of two Bodipy derivatives, we have used linear response time-dependent and exact exchange hybrid density functional approaches. The effect of linear and non-linear solvation models on the electrochemical properties of the dyes has also been discussed.

description: This empirical study aims to shed light on the dynamic linkages among investments, technical efficiency and productivity of food processing at a sectoral level. We use data obtained from meat and milk processing firms operating in the Czech Republic. The data set covers a period from 2011 to 2015. Being based on a production function frontier framework and the Divisia index our study is focuses on the estimation of technical efficiency and productivity of Czech Food processing firms in connection with the received investments. The results of the conducted analysis have shown that investments, directed to a production process of meat and milk processing firms operating in the Czech Republic, do have a positive effect on their technical efficiency. Moreover, it provides an opportunity to increase the capacity of raw milk processing. Higher TFP in food processing industry may result in higher TFP in agriculture.

description: The type and amount of information pedestrians should receive while interacting with an autonomous vehicle (AV) remains an unsolved challenge. The infor-mation about the vehicle driving mode could help pedestrians to develop the right expectations regarding further actions. The aim of this study is to investigate how the information about the vehicle driving mode affects pedestrian crossing behav-ior and perceived safety. A controlled field experiment using a Wizard-of-Oz ap-proach to simulate a driverless vehicle was conducted. 28 participants experienced a driverless and a human-operated vehicle from the perspective of a pedestrian. The vehicle was equipped with an external human machine interface (eHMI) that displayed the driving mode of the vehicle (driverless vs. human-operated). The results show that the crossing behavior, measured by critical gap acceptance, and the subjective reporting of perceived safety did not differ statistically significantly between the driverless and the human-operated driving condition.

description: A growing partisan divide in Congress stalled almost all new federal climate policy in 2011. The divide frustrated efforts to pass a cap-and-trade carbon permitting system, spawned a battle between the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Congress, pushed most substantive climate change policy down to the municipal level and hindered US ability to effectively negotiate an international climate agreement. Amid the federal partisan wrangling, US cities have enacted far-sighted climate policy initiatives, and the growing cost of fossil fuels has stimulated investment in renewable energy, edging the country closer to commercially viable alternatives to fossil fuels. These trends could help provide an alternate route to climate mitigation, even without international treaties or national legislation. But the inevitable shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources would be greatly hastened by federal action to tax carbon dioxide emissions and use the revenue generate! d to support alternative energy technologies. That action is extremely unlikely to occur unless climate change comes to be seen in the United States as a practical, rather than ideological, issue.

description: Our paper presents first analysis of Czech Twitter content within the agriculture context. We deployed textual analysis of more than 240,000 tweets over 2014-2019 hashtags that were, according to Google Trends, most trending and related to Czech agriculture such as #dotace, #repka, or #bionafta – both in Czech and English language. Besides descriptive statistics of the tweet dataset, we visualized keyword correlations which revealed strong focus of the discourse on rapeseed, biofuel and the prime minister Andrej Babiš. Owing to inherent political context of the given hashtags, we found spikes in topics which followed the public attention to the topics in mass media. We also found several accounts that produces high traffic for certain hashtags in Czech, yet those accounts were located abroad. Consistent with other studies, a high proportion of tweets was generated by unverified accounts that might be bots – automated accounts. We propose to conduct semantic analysis of a broader dataset over the main social media platforms in the Czech Republic.

description: Three-dimensional panchromatic dust radiative transfer calculations are performed on a set of 198 galaxies of stellar masses in the range 5x10^8-3x10^10 Msun from a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation (resolved at 29pc/h) at z=7. In a companion paper (Kimm & Cen), the stellar mass and UV luminosity functions, and UV-optical and FUV-NUV colors are shown to be in good agreement with observations, if an SMC-type dust extinction curve is adopted. Here we make useful predictions, self-consistently, of the infrared properties of these z=7 simulated galaxies that can be confronted with upcoming ALMA data. Our findings are as follows. (1) The effective radius in the rest-frame MIPS 70 micron band is in the range of 80-400pc proper for z=7 galaxies with L_FIR=10^{11.3-12}Lsun. (2) The median of the peak wavelength of the far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distribution is in the range of 45-60 micron, depending on the dust-to-metal ratio. (3) For star formation rate in the range 3-100 Msun/yr the median FIR to bolometric luminosity ratio is 60-90%. (4) The FIR luminosity function displays a power law in the high end with a slope of -3.1 +- 0.4, instead of the usual exponential decline.

description: Vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has demonstrated a reduced the risk of hospitalisation and death against more recent variants of COVID-19. Some studies suggested improvements in patients with Post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) following vaccination. We systematically explored available evidence on the effect of COVID-19 vaccines for the treatment of people with PCC.

description: This thesis reports on studies of magnetic field observations obtained by the NASA Juno spacecraft currently orbiting Jupiter. The first study covers the analysis of the first 10 inbound data-taking Juno orbits, where we determine the high-altitude perturbation azimuthal magnetic field associated with a field-aligned magnetosphereionosphere coupling current system associated with a breakdown in corotation between the planet and magnetospheric plasma. We compare our results with a steadystate axisymmetric magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling model developed by Cowley et al. (2005, 2008, 2017), and find that although the overall shape of the data and model are consistent, the field-aligned current signatures are a factor ∼1.5 weaker than the model prediction. We also determine that the location of the field-aligned current sheets and the main oval emission are closely linked. The second study involves a comparison between concurrent and near-concurrent Juno magnetic field and ultraviolet spectrometer observations, to determine if there is any relationship between the fieldaligned current signatures and the mapped ultraviolet brightness, and we compare the signatures with predictions of the previously mentioned model. We find that the magnitude of the perturbation azimuthal magnetic field and corresponding ionospheric Pedersen current for the concurrent observations are linked to the mapped ultraviolet auroral brightness of the main emission. The third study investigates the first 15 datataking Juno orbits, where we analyse the magnetic field associated with the equatorial current sheet in the middle magnetosphere. We analyse the perturbation radial magnetic field associated with the current sheet and develop simple models of this field with respect to radial distance and local time. We also analyse the axial magnetic field dominant in the current sheet centre and develop a simple model of this field with respect to radial distance.

description: This scoping review will assess the literature to identify reported systems or frameworks conducting surveillance/monitoring in companion animals (dogs and/or cats) of veterinary antimicrobial and/or other therapeutic drug use, including prescription or sales data, that could be adapted to Canadian national surveillance of antimicrobial use (AMU) in these species. Addressing gaps in AMU surveillance from companion animals is essential in working towards a comprehensive One Health approach to addressing the overall issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Canada, as AMU is a known driver of AMR.

description: Though there is an emergent literature exploring the history of work relating to biocuration (Leonelli 2016; Stevens 2013; Strasser 2019), and a number of studies that engage with its demographics and working conditions (Burge et al 2012; Holinski et al 2020; ISB 2017; Quaglia et al 2022), there has been limited sustained qualitative research into the field. In this poster presentation we describe topline findings from a pilot study exploring accounts of, and social practices and experiences in, contemporary biocuration work.

description: The destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, resulted in a rapid response by government to evaluate the area and, in subsequent days, to bring the city back to a semblance of normalcy. This article provides a case study of government action in New York city during and after the World Trade Center catastrophe. What is most striking is the skill and intensity of government's response to the emergency and the hard work, dedication, and bravery of New York City's government officials. This article presents government and public service at its finest, under some of the most difficult conditions one can imagine.

description: Graphene is believed to be an excellent candidate material for next-generation electronic devices. However, one needs to take into account the nontrivial effect of metal contacts in order to precisely control the charge injection and extraction processes. We have performed transport calculations for graphene junctions with wetting metal leads (metal leads that bind covalently to graphene) using nonequilibrium Green's functions and density functional theory. Quantitative information is provided on the increased resistance with respect to ideal contacts and on the statistics of current fluctuations. We find that charge transport through the studied two-terminal graphene junction with Ti contacts is pseudo-diffusive up to surprisingly high energies.
