description: We generalize the diffusion-limited aggregation by issuing many randomly-walking particles, which stick to a cluster at the discrete time unit providing its growth. Using simple combinatorial arguments we determine probabilities of different growth scenarios and prove that the most probable evolution is governed by the deterministic Laplacian growth equation. A potential-theoretical analysis of the growth probabilities reveals connections with the tau-function of the integrable dispersionless limit of the two-dimensional Toda hierarchy, normal matrix ensembles, and the two-dimensional Dyson gas confined in a non-uniform magnetic field. We introduce the time-dependent Hamiltonian, which generates transitions between different classes of equivalence of closed curves, and prove the Hamiltonian structure of the interface dynamics. Finally, we propose a relation between probabilities of growth scenarios and the semi-classical limit of certain correlation functions of "light" exponential operators in the Liouville conformal field theory on a pseudosphere.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of financial innovations on the financial performance of Commercial Banks in Ethiopia. An explanatory study was carried out on commercial banks, to assess the impact of financial innovation on the profitability. The study has examined the effect of financial innovation on return on assets as one of the most fundamental indexes of profitability. The study used secondary data employed purposive sampling technique to select nine banks for the study commercial banks operating in Ethiopia covering the periods from 2015 to 2017. Key explanatory variables were identified to disclose their relationship and influence on financial performance of commercial banks. These independent and a control variables are number of mobile banking users, number of automated teller machine terminals, number of new saving accounts, number of point of sale terminal, debit cardholders and managerial efficiency. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Multiple regression with the aid of E-view 9 software was used to examine the effect of independent variables on return on asset (ROA). Result using fixed effect panel least square regression exhibited that numbers of mobile banking users and number of new saving accounts have positive and significant effect on financial performance of commercial banks measured by return on asset. The study shows that increased number of mobile banking users and number of new saving accounts had a positive effect on the financial performance of commercial banks by reducing transaction cost and mobilizing deposit. However, numbers of ATM terminals have a negative and significant effect on financial performance of commercial banks due to high initial investment as compared to income generated. Number of point of sale terminals and number of debit cardholders are insignificant to profitability of Ethiopia. These are due to inaccessibility and lack of awareness on bank users. In addition, management efficiency shows a negative relation were management are not cost effective in commercial banks of Ethiopia. Generally, financial innovation has positive effect on financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study recommends for enhancing return on asset, commercial banks should exert more on awareness creation about financial innovation service and keep up on introducing and implementing financial innovations across the country.

description: A l’heure où les enseignants éprouvent de plus en plus de difficultés à gérer leur classe et à faire face à la crise de l’autorité, nous avons souhaité chercher, s’il existait des traces d’une perte de l’autorité des enseignants dans le cadre légal vaudois. Nous avons émis l’hypothèse que dans une logique pragmatique du droit qui considère les lois représentatives de leur société, que les modifications des bases légales ont joué un rôle important dans l’affaiblissement de l’autorité des enseignants. Nous avons dès lors effectué une recherche pionnière en analysant, d’après la méthode littérale développée par le Tribunal fédéral qui recherche le sens d’une norme au travers de son sens grammatical, des lois et des règlements qui ont encadré l’école entre 1874 et aujourd’hui pour identifier une potentielle baisse du pouvoir légal des enseignants. Après une analyse de onze textes de loi, il s’est avéré que les enseignants ont perdu de leur pouvoir légal, tant au niveau de la gestion du cadre de la classe qu’au niveau de leur statut, qui sont deux dimensions de l’autorité. Cette perte a pour conséquence une fragilisation et une diminution de l’autorité des enseignants. Toutefois, tel n’est peut-être pas le cas dans les faits. En effet, il semblerait, d’après diverses lectures, que les pratiques scolaires dans le canton de Vaud soient contradictoires avec les théories du droit suisse qui prétend un alignement parfait entre les normes prescrites et les comportements des citoyens.

description: In this article we investigate normalized adjacency eigenvalues (simply normalized eigenvalues) and normalized adjacency energy of connected threshold graphs. A threshold graph can always be represented as a unique binary string. Certain eigenvalues are obtained directly from its binary representation and the rest of the eigenvalues are evaluated from its normalized equitable partition matrix. Finally, we characterize threshold graphs with at most five distinct eigenvalues.

description: A detailed comparison is made between different viewpoints on reversible heating in electric double layer capacitors. We show in the limit of slow charging that a combined Poisson-Nernst-Planck and heat equation, first studied by d'Entremont and Pilon [J. Power Sources {\bf 246}, 887 (2014)], recovers the temperature changes as predicted by the thermodynamic identity of Janssen, Härtel, and van Roij [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 113}, 268501 (2014)], and disagrees with the approximative model of Schiffer, Linzen, and Sauer [J. Power Sources {\bf 160}, 765 (2006)] that predominates the literature.

description: Existing deep learning based stereo matching methods either focus on achieving optimal performances on the target dataset while with poor generalization for other datasets or focus on handling the cross-domain generalization by suppressing the domain sensitive features which results in a significant sacrifice on the performance. To tackle these problems, we propose PCW-Net, a Pyramid Combination and Warping cost volume-based network to achieve good performance on both cross-domain generalization and stereo matching accuracy on various benchmarks. In particular, our PCW-Net is designed for two purposes. First, we construct combination volumes on the upper levels of the pyramid and develop a cost volume fusion module to integrate them for initial disparity estimation. Multi-scale receptive fields can be covered by fusing multi-scale combination volumes, thus, domain-invariant features can be extracted. Second, we construct the warping volume at the last level of the pyramid for disparity refinement. The proposed warping volume can narrow down the residue searching range from the initial disparity searching range to a fine-grained one, which can dramatically alleviate the difficulty of the network to find the correct residue in an unconstrained residue searching space. When training on synthetic datasets and generalizing to unseen real datasets, our method shows strong cross-domain generalization and outperforms existing state-of-the-arts with a large margin. After fine-tuning on the real datasets, our method ranks first on KITTI 2012, second on KITTI 2015, and first on the Argoverse among all published methods as of 7, March 2022. The code will be available at https://github.com/gallenszl/PCWNet.

description: Coupling fermions to gravity necessarily leads to a non-renormalizable, gravitational four-fermion contact interaction. In this essay, we argue that augmenting the Einstein-Cartan Lagrangian with suitable kinetic terms quadratic in the gravitational gauge field strengths (torsion and curvature) gives rise to new, massive propagating gravitational degrees of freedom. This is to be seen in close analogy to Fermi's effective four-fermion interaction and its emergent W and Z bosons.

description: Project audit is important as an essential internal assurance mechanism in controlling fraud in budgetary public construction sectors. The purpose of this study is to investigate Project audit Practices and it"s Challenges in Addis Ababa Construction Bureau. To assess the Practices and it"s Challenges: Experience of project auditors, Independence, Training, of project auditor. The study was conducted based on the data gathered from the project auditors, Directorate of constructions team leaders, CEO, contractors" consultants and managers sub cities construction head offices, head of the selected Addis Ababa city construction public sector offices. To that effect extensive survey of theoretical and empirical literature is made to support the paper with applicable and worth full ideas. Primary data is also being collected from the study area used close ended questionnaires, interviews and secondary data by referring to documents and reports of the bureau. The study was conducted based on explanatory study design .The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The study used purposive sampling method and censes covered the offices of selected workers and public sectors. Thus the study is argue that the ineffectiveness and inefficiency in the practice of project audit in the Construction Bureau of Addis Ababa is due to the problem in its independency to report its finding to an appropriate body, mismatch between the works and its staffs, inadequate training of audit experts in the issue of project audit and lack of adequate attention and support from the bureau management. Thus, project audit as an important department confronts a serious challenge to reach as a tool for creation of good governance by exposing fraud practice in the area as well as identifying control deficiencies. Hence, the study would suggest the need of establishing accountability and giving a necessary support to the project audit both from the bureau and the City Government of Addis Ababa.
The origins of the research on the foundations of quantum mechanics (and other critical activities) in italy during the 1970s

description: We present a reconstruction of the studies on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (FQM) carried out in Italy at the turn of the 1960s. Actually, they preceded the revival of the interest of the American physicists towards the FQM around mid-1970s, recently reconstructed by David Kaiser in a book of 2011. An element common to both cases is the role played by the young generation, even though the respective motivations were quite different. In the US they reacted to research cuts after the war in Vietnam, and were inspired by the New Age mood. In Italy the dissatisfaction of the young generations was rooted in the student protests of 1968 and the subsequent labour and social fights, which challenged the role of scientists. The young generations of physicists searched for new scientific approaches and challenged their own scientific knowledge and role. The criticism to the FQM and the perspectives of submitting them to experimental tests were perceived as an innovative research field and this attitude was directly linked to the search for an innovative and radical approach in the history of science. All these initiatives gave rise to booming activity throughout the 1970s, contributing to influence the scientific attitude and the teaching approach.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the antitumor properties of vanillin and divanillin in murine bone tumour cells. The action of the compounds on the cell viability of the normal (MC3T3-E1) and the tumour cell line (UMR-106) was evaluated. Action of the compounds in colony formation, migration, and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumour cells were evaluated along with proteomic analysis. Both compounds affected the cell viability of normal and tumour cell lines, being divanillin the more effective. For UMR-106, both compounds reduced the cell viability by less than 50%. Vanillin inhibited the migration process, and divanillin decreased ROS production (p < 0.05). The proteomic analysis showed that both compounds acted in the expression of proteins involved in tumour progression. Our results suggest that vanillin and divanillin are effective drugs against murine bone tumour cells. They can be a promising alternative for the adjuvant treatment of bone cancer.

description: Super-resolution fluorescence imaging allows for visualisation of cellular structures and sub-cellular organelles with resolution much improved over the diffraction limit of light. While extensive detail concerning the target in question can be obtained using these methods, the wider context is not visible. Correlative application with other techniques such as atomic force microscopy can place a structure of interest within its surrounding environment, yielding greater insights. This thesis develops the correlation of live and fixed cell super-resolution fluorescence imaging with atomic force microscopy for viewing intracellular structures, and describes the implementation of a bespoke lightsheet microscope for fast 3D cellular imaging.

description: Pathwise uniqueness for multi-dimensional stochastic McKean--Vlasov equation is established under moderate regularity conditions on the drift and diffusion coefficients. Both drift and diffusion depend on the marginal measure of the solution. For pathwise uniqueness, the drift is assumed to be Dini-continuous in the state variable, while the diffusion must be Lipschitz, continuous in time and uniformly nondegenerate. The setting is classical McKean--Vlasov, that is, coefficients of the equation are represented as integrals over the marginal distributions of the process.

description: Consulting, Coaching und Supervision, Tutoring, Mentoring und kollegiale Beratung: Beratungsangebote verschiedenster Art werden wie selbstverständlich in den Berufen nachgefragt, die mit Beziehung und Interaktion, mit komplexen sozialen Organisationen und Systemen, mit hoher Verantwortlichkeit, aber unsicheren Handlungsbedingungen zu tun haben. Mittlerweile beginnt diese Nachfrage auch in den Hochschulen zu steigen. Eine solche Steigerung wird ausgelöst durch den Wandel in den Lehr-Lernkulturen als "Shift from Teaching to Learning" mit erheblichen Konsequenzen für die didaktische Ausgestaltung der Module. Wie es schon mit der Betrachtung der studentischen Lernzeit ('workload') in den Modulen als Bemessungsgröße für die Kreditpunktvergabe nahegelegt wird, wird neben den Lehrveranstaltungen das Augenmerk verstärkt auf das studentische Lernen gerichtet. Je stärker dieses Lernen als selbstorganisierte und -verantwortete Tätigkeit der Studierenden konzipiert wird, um so stärker steigt deren Beratungsbedarf. Die Hochschuldidaktik begegnet diesem Wandel mit einem breiten Spektrum an Formaten und Verfahren der Beratung (vgl. im Überblick Wildt/Szczyrba/Wildt 2006). Fazit ist: Lernen kann durch Beratung gefördert werden.

description: The two-photon dressing of a "three-level ladder" system, here the ground state, the exciton and the biexciton of a semiconductor quantum dot, leads to new eigenstates and allows one to manipulate the time ordering of the paired photons without unitary post processing. We show that, after spectral post-selection of the single dressed states, the time ordering of the cascaded photons can be removed or conserved. Our joint experimental and theoretical study demonstrates the high potential of a "ladder" system to be a versatile source of orthogonally polarized, bunched or antibunched pairs of photons.

description: In this paper we present the results from an empirical power comparison of 40 goodness-of-fit tests for the univariate Laplace distribution, carried out using Monte Carlo simulations with sample sizes $n = 20, 50, 100, 200$, significance levels $α= 0.01, 0.05, 0.10$, and 400 alternatives consisting of asymmetric and symmetric light/heavy-tailed distributions taken as special cases from 11 models. In addition to the unmatched scope of our study, an interesting contribution is the proposal of an innovative design for the selection of alternatives. The 400 alternatives consist of 20 specific cases of 20 submodels drawn from the main 11 models. For each submodel, the 20 specific cases corresponded to parameter values chosen to cover the full power range. An analysis of the results leads to a recommendation of the best tests for five different groupings of the alternative distributions. A real-data example is also presented, where an appropriate test for the goodness-of-fit of the univariate Laplace distribution is applied to weekly log-returns of Amazon stock over a recent four-year period.

description: We investigate the scaling behavior of longitudinal and transverse structure functions in homogeneous and isotropic magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence by means of an exact hierarchy of structure function equations as well as by direct numerical simulations of two- and three-dimensional MHD turbulence. In particular, rescaling relations between longitudinal and transverse structure functions are derived and utilized in order to compare different scaling behavior in the inertial range. It is found that there are no substantial differences between longitudinal and transverse structure functions in MHD turbulence. This finding stands in contrast to the case of hydrodynamic turbulence which shows persistent differences even at high Reynolds numbers. We propose a physical picture that is based on an effective reduction of pressure contributions due to local regions of same magnitude and alignment of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations. Finally, our findings underline the importance of the pressure term for the actually observed scaling differences in hydrodynamic turbulence.

description: In this paper we study quotients of Lie algebroids and groupoids endowed with compatible differential forms. We identify Lie theoretic conditions under which such forms become basic and characterize the induced forms on the quotients. We apply these results to describe generalized quotient and reduction processes for (twisted) Poisson and Dirac structures, as well as to their integration by (twisted, pre-)symplectic groupoids. In particular, we recover and generalize several known results concerning Poisson reduction.

description: Observations of X-ray binaries indicate a dearth of compact objects in the mass range from $\sim 2-5 M_{\odot}$. The existence of this (first mass) gap has been used to discriminate between proposed engines behind core-collapse supernovae. From LIGO/Virgo observations of binary compact remnant masses, several candidate first mass gap objects (either neutron stars (NSs) or black holes (BHs)) were identified during the O3 science run. Motivated by these new observations, we study the formation of BH-NS mergers in the framework of isolated classical binary evolution, using population synthesis methods to evolve large populations of binary stars (Population I and II) across cosmic time. We present results on the NS to BH mass ratios ($q=M_{\rm NS}/M_{\rm BH}$) in merging systems, showing that although systems with a mass ratio as low as $q=0.02$ can exist, typically BH-NS systems form with moderate mass ratios $q=0.1-0.2$. If we adopt a delayed supernova engine, we conclude that $\sim 30\%$ of BH-NS mergers may host at least one compact object in the first mass gap (FMG$^\circ$). Even allowing for uncertainties in the processes behind compact object formation, we expect the fraction of BH-NS systems ejecting mass during the merger to be small (from $\sim 0.6-9\%$). In our reference model, we assume: (i) the formation of compact objects within the FMG, (ii) natal NS/BH kicks decreased by fallback, (iii) low BH spins due to Tayler-Spruit angular momentum transport in massive stars. We find that $\lesssim 1\%$ of BH-NS mergers will have any mass ejection and about the same percentage will produce kilonova bright enough to have a chance of being detected with a large (Subaru-class) $8$m telescope. Interestingly, all these mergers will have both a BH and an NS in the FMG.

Semi-random process without replacement

description: Semi-random processes involve an adaptive decision-maker, whose goal is to achieve some pre-determined objective in an online randomized environment. We introduce and study a semi-random multigraph process, which forms a no-replacement variant of the process that was introduced by Ben-Eliezer, Hefetz, Kronenberg, Parczyk, Shikhelman and Stojaković (2020). The process starts with an empty graph on the vertex set $[n]$. For every positive integers $q$ and $1\leq r\leq n$, in the $((q-1)n+r)$th round of the process, the decision-maker, called \emph{Builder}, is offered the vertex $π_q(r)$, where $π_1, π_2, \ldots$ is a sequence of permutations in $S_n$, chosen independently and uniformly at random. Builder then chooses an additional vertex (according to a strategy of his choice) and connects it by an edge to $π_q(r)$. For several natural graph properties, such as $k$-connectivity, minimum degree at least $k$, and building a given spanning graph (labeled or unlabeled), we determine the typical number of rounds Builder needs in order to construct a graph having the desired property. Along the way we introduce and analyze an urn model which may also have independent interest.

description: Dissolved manganese (Mn) is a biologically essential element, and its oxidised form is involved in the removal of trace elements from ocean waters. Recently, a large number of highly accurate Mn measurements have been obtained in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans as part of the GEOTRACES programme. The goal of this study is to combine these new observations with state-of-the-art modelling to give new insights into the main sources and redistribution of Mn throughout the ocean. To this end, we simulate the distribution of dissolved Mn using a global-scale circulation model. This first model includes simple parameterisations to account, realistically, for the sources, processes and sinks of Mn in the ocean. Whereas oxidation and (photo)reduction, as well as aggregation and settling are parameterised in the model, biological uptake is not yet taken into account by the model. Our model reproduces observations accurately and provides the following insights: - The high surface concentrations of manganese are caused by the combination of photoreduction and sources to the upper ocean. The most important sources are dust, then sediments, and, more locally, rivers. - Results show that surface Mn in the Atlantic Ocean moves downwards into the North Atlantic Deep Water, but because of strong removal rates the Mn does not propagate southwards. - There is a mostly homogeneous background concentration of dissolved Mn of about 0.10 to 0.15 nM throughout most of the deep ocean. The model reproduces this by means of a threshold on manganese oxides of 25 pM, suggesting that a minimal concentration of Mn is needed before aggregation and removal become efficient. - The observed sharp hydrothermal signals are produced by assuming both a high source and a strong removal of Mn near hydrothermal vents.

Implications of Coupling in Quantum Thermodynamic Machines

description: We study coupled quantum systems as the working media of thermodynamic machines. Under a suitable phase-space transformation, the coupled systems can be expressed as a composition of independent subsystems. We find that for the coupled systems, the figures of merit, that is the efficiency for engine and the coefficient of performance for refrigerator, are bounded (both from above and from below) by the corresponding figures of merit of the independent subsystems. We also show that the optimum work extractable from a coupled system is upper bounded by the optimum work obtained from the uncoupled system, thereby showing that the quantum correlations do not help in optimal work extraction. Further, we study two explicit examples, coupled spin-$1/2$ systems and coupled quantum oscillators with analogous interactions. Interestingly, for particular kind of interactions, the efficiency of the coupled oscillators outperforms that of the coupled spin-$1/2$ systems when they work as heat engines. However, for the same interaction, the coefficient of performance behaves in a reverse manner, while the systems work as the refrigerator. Thus the same coupling can cause opposite effects in the figures of merit of heat engine and refrigerator.

description: We study different aspects of active learning with deep neural networks in a consistent and unified way. i) We investigate incremental and cumulative training modes which specify how the newly labeled data are used for training. ii) We study active learning w.r.t. the model configurations such as the number of epochs and neurons as well as the choice of batch size. iii) We consider in detail the behavior of query strategies and their corresponding informativeness measures and accordingly propose more efficient querying procedures. iv) We perform statistical analyses, e.g., on actively learned classes and test error estimation, that reveal several insights about active learning. v) We investigate how active learning with neural networks can benefit from pseudo-labels as proxies for actual labels.

description: We discuss fitness landscapes and how they can be modified to account for co-evolution. We are interested in using the landscape as a way to model rational decision making in a toy economic system. We develop a model very similar to the Tangled Nature Model of Christensen et. al. that we call the Tangled Decision Model. This is a natural setting for our discussion of co-evolutionary fitness landscapes. We use a Monte Carlo step to simulate decision making and investigate two different decision making procedures.
