description: In this article I wish to provide some insights into the current status of OLIPPAC as a tool for creating political stability and to highlight the challenges of implementing the law. I wish to argue that OLIPPAC is a worthwhile tool for creating political stability in PNG and take issue with the argument that OLIPPAC has failed. Two issues underpin the views I express here. First, is OLIPPAC meaningless or insignificant in the context of a weak party system or endemic political instability in PNG? Second, who is responsible for making OLIPPAC achieve its overall goal of creating political stability?

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely affecting our lives in many ways for the last ten years. Potential applications of AI are currently being used in many sectors. However, the usage of AI has been very limited in sports science compared to the other sectors. In this study, we developed an artificial neural network model to estimate the market values of the players in the Turkish Super Football League. While the market value was selected as an output, the input values were: minutes played; goals scored; xG: assists; xA; defensive duels won %; tackle success %; shots on target %; Short-middle pass accuracy %; long pass accuracy %; and accuracy of passes to penalty area. After creating a neural network based on the input-output values with high training, validation and testing statistical values, input values were computed with the neural network created and then the output values were estimated. In conclusion, an artificial neural network is becoming one of the important modeling methods in all areas of life. Although the application of artificial neural networks is very limited in sports science, it is one of the suitable science disciplines where there is a lot of statistical data. The methodology proposed in this paper can also be used for talent selection in football. Moreover, it may help stop criticism by TV sports programmes and newspapers because market value estimation is based on fair performance parameters. Further studies are strongly recommended, not only for football but also for other sports disciplines.
Growth and development of rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) as influenced by water temperatures
Creators: name: Herath, Mudiyanselage Walter Herath
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Six varieties of rice, representative of those cultivated in California and other southern regions of the United States were grown in a series of nine experiments. In a greenhouse, seeds were sown into pots placed in a constant temperature water bath possessing compartments maintained at water temperatures of 60°, 75°, 60° and 90°F. Many characteristics of plant growth and development were influenced by water temperature. Generally shoot lengths and weights, root lengths and weights, leaf lamina, leaf sheath lengths and stomata number were greater at the higher, than at the lower, temperatures. The type and intensity of silica crystal formation in the leaves increased with increase in temperature. Stomata sizes were larger at lower, than at higher, temperatures. Irrespective of plants being submerged or non-submerged, at continuous or changed temperatures, the higher temperatures produced the greatest response. Californian varieties were found to be more sensitive than other southern varieties in their response to both low and high temperature treatments, indicating a greater range of adaptability.

description: In this paper the Bayesian analysis is applied to assign a probability density to the value of a quantity having a definite sign. This analysis is logically consistent with the results, positive or negative, of repeated measurements. Results are used to estimate the atom density shift in a caesium fountain clock. The comparison with the classical statistical analysis is also reported and the advantages of the Bayesian approach for the realization of the time unit are discussed.

description: Fingerprint recognition remains one of the most reliable biometric technologies due to its high accuracy and uniqueness. Traditional systems rely on contact-based scanners, which are prone to issues such as image degradation from surface contamination and inconsistent user interaction. To address these limitations, contactless fingerprint recognition has emerged as a promising alternative, providing non-intrusive and hygienic authentication. This study evaluates the impact of image enhancement tech-niques on the performance of pre-trained deep learning models using transfer learning for touchless fingerprint recognition. The IIT-Bombay Touchless and Touch-Based Fingerprint Database, containing data from 200 subjects, was employed to test the per-formance of deep learning architectures such as VGG-16, VGG-19, Inception-V3, and ResNet-50. Experimental results reveal that transfer learning methods with fingerprint image enhance-ment (indirect method) significantly outperform those without enhancement (direct method). Specifically, VGG-16 achieved an accuracy of 98% in training and 93% in testing when using the enhanced images, demonstrating superior performance compared to the direct method.
 This paper provides a detailed comparison of the effectiveness of image enhancement in improving the accuracy of transfer learning models for touchless fingerprint recognition, offering key insights for developing more efficient biometric systems.

description: Falconry, an ancient practice of training and hunting with falcons, emphasizes the need for vigilant health monitoring to ensure the well-being of these highly valued birds, especially during hunting activities. This research paper introduces a cutting-edge approach, which leverages the power of Concatenated ConvNeXt and EfficientNet AI models for falcon disease classification. Focused on distinguishing 'Normal,' 'Liver,' and 'Aspergillosis' cases, the study employs a comprehensive dataset for model training and evaluation, utilizing metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score. Through rigorous experimentation and evaluation, we demonstrate the superior performance of the concatenated AI model compared to traditional methods and standalone architectures. This novel approach contributes to accurate falcon disease classification, laying the groundwork for further advancements in avian veterinary AI applications.

description: We introduce a variant to the Diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm that can be employed to study the effects of the Rashba interaction in a many electron systems. Because of the spin--orbit nature of Rashba interaction a standard algorithm cannot be applied and therefore a specific imaginary time spin dependent propagator has been developed and implemented following previous work developed in the framework of nuclear physics. We computed the ground state energy of the 2D electron gas at different densities for several values of the Rashba interaction strength as a function of "Rashba spin states" polarization. Comparison is given with analytically known Hartree-Fock results and for the system in absence of Coulomb interaction.
Trauma and Emotional Processing: Does Subtype of Child Maltreatment Matter?

Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: trauma, emotional processing, faces, EEG, ERP, OCD

description: The present research looks at the processing of emotional faces in a sample of adults with childhood trauma to assess how the type of maltreatment reported (emotional, sexual, or physical), as well as the action of maltreatment (abuse or neglect), affects event-related potential (ERP) N170 peaks. More broadly, the paper assesses the relationship between scores on the 28-item Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-28) and reactivity during an emotional face-processing task. The present study emphasizes two research questions: (1) Does childhood trauma disproportionately impact the emotional processing of angry faces? (2) Does the subtype of childhood trauma have a significant effect on the value of N170 peaks in emotional processing tasks? These questions are answered through three hypotheses, analyzed using regression and ANOVA analysis. H1: Higher rates of childhood maltreatment (represented by higher CTQ-28 scores) will have a greater effect on the slope of N170 peaks for the angry face condition than for the neutral face condition. H2: A history of neglectful maltreatment will correlate with stronger ERP N170 frequencies during the face-viewing task than a history of physical and sexual abuse. H3: Emotional types of maltreatment (emotional abuse and neglect) will correlate with stronger ERP N170 frequencies during the face-viewing task. Statistical support is found for all three hypotheses, and implications are discussed.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We study the global dynamics of advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) with magnetically driven outflows. A fraction of gases in the accretion flow is accelerated into the outflows, which leads to decreasing of the mass accretion rate in the accretion flow towards the black hole. We find that the r-dependent mass accretion rate is close to a power-law one, m_dot r^s, as assumed in the advection-dominated inflow-outflow solution (ADIOS), in the outer region of the ADAF, while it deviates significantly from the power-law r-dependent accretion rate in the inner region of the ADAF. It is found that the structure of the ADAF is significantly changed in the presence of the outflows. The temperatures of the ions and electrons in the ADAF decreases in the presence of outflows, as a fraction of gravitational power released in the ADAF is tapped to accelerate the outflows.

However, previous studies have shown thatthereisahighly inappropriateuse of antibiotics in the community in Vietnam. The plurality of antibiotics is sold without a prescription. The problem ofirrational useof antibiotics should be minimized as it drives resistance development. A better understanding of practices and behavior of self-medication is needed to design effective interventions to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use.Objective: Thisstudywasdesigned to estimate the prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics (SMA) among young adults residing and evaluate thebehavior in SMA inHoan Kiem District, Hanoi, Vietnam. Methodology: A crosssectional survey was conducted from 18th Februaryto04th March 2013. 402 participants include 178 males and 224 females from 20 to 40 years old were conveniently selected and interviewed face to face using a questionnaire. Participants were required to answer 23 questions which consists of 06 questions about the socio-demographic characteristics and 17 questions towards the behavior of self-medication with antibiotics. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 28.55.9. The prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics in this area is 83.6%(80.9-85.9). There were significant differences in SMA rate between age group, gender, occupation status, marital status, and health insurance status (p<0.001). Runny nose (20.2%), sore throat (17.2%), and cough (15.9%) were the most frequent indications for theiruse. The most commonlyused antibiotic was Amoxicillin (28%), Penicillin (20.9%) and Cephalexin (12.5%). Conclusion: The prevalence of SMA in Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, Vietnam is alarmingly high. The findings may be useful to help develop an intervention to decrease misconceptions regarding antibiotic use, to implement stricter governmental legislation and regulation on the sale and use of nonprescribed medicines including antibiotics in pharmacies to increase people’s awareness regarding the risks of inappropriate use of antibiotics in the community.

description: The variation of total solar irradiance (TSI) has been measured since 1978 and that of the spectral irradiance for an even shorter amount of time. Semi-empirical models are now available that reproduce over 80% of the measured irradiance variations. An extension of these models into the more distant past is needed in order to serve as input to climate simulations. Here we review our most recent efforts to model solar total and spectral irradiance on time scales from days to centuries and even longer. Solar spectral irradiance has been reconstructed since 1947. Reconstruction of solar total irradiance goes back to 1610 and suggests a value of about 1-1.5 Wm$^{-2}$ for the increase in the cycle-averaged TSI since the end of the Maunder minimum, which is significantly lower than previously assumed but agrees with other modern models. First steps have also been made towards reconstructions of solar total and spectral irradiance on time scales of millennia.

The $ZT$ values were estimated by measuring electrical resistivity, thermopower and thermal conductivity simultaneously. The largest $ZT$ is 2.7 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$ at 155 K for $τ-(EDT-S,S-DMEDT-TTF)_2(AuI_2)_{1+y}$, 1.5 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$ at 180 K for $τ-(EDO-S,S-DMEDT-TTF)_2(AuI_2)_{1+y}$ and 5.4 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ at 78 K for $τ-(P-S,S-DMEDT-TTF)_2(AuI_2)_{1+y}$, respectively. Substitution of the donor molecules fixing the counter anion revealed EDT-S,S-DMEDT-TTF is the best of the three donors to obtain larger $ZT$.

We have also calculated exciton-exciton interaction potentials, and pair distribution functions for electrons and holes in bound biexcitons. Comparing our data with results obtained in a recent study using a model exciton-exciton potential [C. Schindler and R. Zimmermann, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{78}, 045313 (2008)], we find a somewhat larger range of layer separations at which biexcitons are stable. We find that individual excitons retain their identity in bound biexcitons for large layer separations.

description: In classical extreme value theory probabilities of extreme events are estimated assuming all the components of a random vector to be in a domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution. In contrast, the conditional extreme value model assumes a domain of attraction condition on a sub-collection of the components of a multivariate random vector. This model has been studied in \cite{heffernan:tawn:2004,heffernan:resnick:2007,das:resnick:2008a}. In this paper we propose three statistics which act as tools to detect this model in a bivariate set-up. In addition, the proposed statistics also help to distinguish between two forms of the limit measure that is obtained in the model.

Gate-tunable bandgap in bilayer graphene

description: The tight-binding model of bilayer graphene is used to find the gap between the conduction and valence bands, as a function of both the gate voltage and as the doping by donors or acceptors. The total Hartree energy is minimized and the equation for the gap is obtained. This equation for the ratio of the gap to the chemical potential is determined only by the screening constant. Thus the gap is strictly proportional to the gate voltage or the carrier concentration in the absence of donors or acceptors. In the opposite case, where the donors or acceptors are present, the gap demonstrates the asymmetrical behavior on the electron and hole sides of the gate bias. A comparison with experimental data obtained by Kuzmenko et al demonstrates the good agreement.

description: We study the origin of the large thermopower in quasi-two-dimensional a $τ$-type organic conductor, $τ-(EDO-S,S-DMEDT-TTF)_2(AuBr_2)_{1+y}$ ($y \le 0.875$), from the view point of a "pudding mold"-type band structure. We calculate the electronic band structure using an \textit{ab initio} band calculation package, and obtain a tight binding model fit to the \textit{ab initio} band structure. Using the model and the Boltzmann's equation approach, we calculate the temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficient. We conclude that the peculiar band structure is the origin of the large Seebeck coefficient and the appearance of the maximum value at a certain temperature.

description: With the rapid development of technology and advancements, unmanned vending machines have emerged as the primary contactless retail method. The efficient and accurate implementation of automated identification technology for agricultural products in their distribution and sales has become an urgent problem that needs to be addressed. This article presents an improved YOLOv7 (You Only Look Once) algorithm for fruit detection in complex environments. By replacing the 3×3 convolutions in the backbone of YOLOv7 with Deformable ConvNet v2(DCNv2), the recognition accuracy and efficiency of fruit classification in YOLOv7 are significantly enhanced. The results indicate that the overall recognition accuracy of this system for ten types of fruits is 98.3%, showcasing its high precision and stability.

description: Konrad Burnik suggests a structure-preserving QR factorization for centrosymmetric matrices, known as QX factorization. In this article, we obtain the explicit expressions for rigorous perturbation bounds of the QX factorization when the original matrix is perturbed, either norm-wise or component-wise. First, using the matrix-equation approach, weak rigorous perturbation bounds are derived. Then, strong rigorous perturbation bounds are obtained by combining the modified matrix-vector equation approach with the strategy for the Lyapunov majorant function and the Banach fixed-point theorem. The mixed and component-wise condition numbers and their upper bounds are also explicitly expressed. Numerical tests illustrate the validity of the obtained results.

description: Die Wissenschaft der Sozialen Arbeit verfügt über einen reichen Schatz an Theorien und Methoden, welche für den Interreligiösen Dialog erforscht und analysiert werden können. Somit liefert die Sozialen Arbeit unterschiedliche praktischen Handlungsmöglichkeiten, um Räume zu schaffen, in denen Begegnungen auf Augenhöhe ermöglicht werden. In diesen Räumen lernen sich Vertreter*innen der verschiedenen Religionsbekenntnisse kennen, um sich auszutauschen und einen Beitrag zur Friedensarbeit zu leisten. Dabei spielt die persönliche Identität jedes einzelnen eine bedeutende Rolle. Denn Voraussetzung für diesen Dialog ist laut Stuart Hall, Kulturwissenschaftler, dass „jede Form von Identität durch das Nadelöhr des anderen hindurchmüsse“. (Terkessidis 2001, Online Zugriff am 4. Mai 2021) Homi K. Bhabha, Postkolonialtheoretiker erforscht in seinen Arbeiten dieses „Nadelöhr“, um den Begriff der Identität neu beschreiben zu können. Er sieht in der Identitätsbildung einen Prozess, der sich aufgrund der kulturellen Differenz ergibt. Dadurch ist es für ihn undenkbar, die ursprüngliche Identität oder übernommene Traditionen aufrecht zu erhalten. In den Zwischen-Räumen findet die Begegnung an den identitätsbedingten Grenzen statt, um „Unverträgliches, Verschwiegenes, Unbewusstes“ (Hàrs 2001, S. 2) darlegen zu können. Die Begegnung in diesen Räumen ermöglicht neue Erkenntnisse, denn jede/r begegnet dem Fremden in sich und im Anderen entdeckt man das Eigene. Dabei wird die Identität für Bhabha ein Stückwerk, zu einer Teil-Ganzheit, somit kann die partielle interkulturelle Andersartigkeit dargestellt werden. (Vgl. Hàrs 2001, S. 2) Diese interkulturellen bzw. interreligiösen Zusammentreffen brauchen einen wohltuenden Rahmen, der das Kennenlernen und den Austausch fördert. Abgesehen von einem Moderatorenteam, welches die interkulturellen Kompetenzen verinnerlicht hat, können auch unterschiedliche Methoden aus der Sozialen Arbeit zum Einsatz kommen. Diese Methoden sollen Zwischenräume entstehen lassen, in denen eine wertschätzende Kommunikation gepflegt wird. Des Weiteren sollen sie erlauben, die eigenen Identitäten zu stärken und die Neugier auf das Noch-Unbekannte fördern. Auf jeden Fall müssen diese Methoden Machtasymmetrien in Blick haben und ein Gefühl von Sicherheit vermitteln.

description: Magnetic Bright Points (MBPs) in the internetwork are among the smallest objects in the solar photosphere and appear bright against the ambient environment. An algorithm is presented that can be used for the automated detection of the MBPs in the spatial and temporal domains. The algorithm works by mapping the lanes through intensity thresholding. A compass search, combined with a study of the intensity gradient across the detected objects, allows the disentanglement of MBPs from bright pixels within the granules. Object growing is implemented to account for any pixels that might have been removed when mapping the lanes. The images are stabilized by locating long-lived objects that may have been missed due to variable light levels and seeing quality. Tests of the algorithm employing data taken with the Swedish Solar Telescope (SST), reveal that ~90% of MBPs within a 75"x 75" field of view are detected.

description: With the gradual increase of highway coverage, the frequency of road cracks also increases, which brings a series of security risks. It is necessary to detect road cracks, but the traditional detection method is inefficient and unsafe. In this paper, deep learning is used to detect road cracks, and an improved model BiTrans-YOLOv5 is proposed. We add Swin Transformer to YOLOv5s to replace the original C3 module, and explore the performance of Transformer in the field of road crack detection. We also change the original PANet of YOLOv5s into a bidirectional feature pyramid network (BIFPN), which can detect small targets more accurately. Experiments on the data set Road Damage show that BiTrans-YOLOv5 has improved in Precision, Recall, F1 score and mAP@0.5 compared with YOLOv5s, among which mAP@0.5 has improved by 5.4%. It is proved that BiTrans-YOLOv5 has better performance in road detection projects.

description: We report significant enhancement in superconducting properties of yttrium substituted Ce1-xYxOFFeAs superconductors. The polycrystalline samples were prepared by two step solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction confirmed tetragonal ZrCuSiAs structure with decrease in both a and c lattice parameters on increasing yttrium substitution (with fixed F content). With smaller ion Y in place of Ce, the transition temperature increased by 6 K. Yttrium doping also lead to higher critical fields as well as stronger inter and intra-granular current density. The magnetization critical current density increased by an order of magnitude at 30 K and 1 T magnetic field.

description: The importance of real-time vehicle detection tracking and counting system based on YOLOv7 is an important tool for monitoring traffic flow on highways. Highway traffic management, planning, and prevention rely heavily on real-time traffic monitoring technologies to avoid frequent traffic snarls, moving violations, and fatal car accidents. These systems rely only on data from timedependent vehicle trajectories used to predict online traffic flow. Three crucial duties include the detection, tracking, and counting of cars on urban roads and highways as well as the calculation of statistical traffic flow statistics (such as determining the real-time vehicles flow and how many different types of vehicles travel). Important phases in these systems include object detection, tracking, categorizing, and counting. The YOLOv7 identification method is presented to address the issues of high missed detection rates of the YOLOv7 algorithm for vehicle detection on urban highways, weak perspective perception of small targets, and insufficient feature extraction. This system aims to provide real-time monitoring of vehicles, enabling insights into traffic patterns and facilitating informed decision-making. In this paper, vehicle detecting, tracking, and counting can be calculated on real-time videos based on modified YOLOv7 with high accuracy.

description: Doubly heavy tetraquarks have emerged as new probes to study the heavy hadron spectrum. With the experimental observation of the $J^P=1^+$ $T_{cc}^+$, they pose a unique opportunity to bring together efforts in experiment, phenomenology, and lattice QCD. In lattice calculations they are accessible as ground states, unlike hidden flavor tetraquarks, and this enables accurate determinations of the scattering parameters alongside the binding energies of these tetraquarks. Today, lattice calculations firmly predict $J^P=1^+$ $T_{bb}^{ud}$ and $T_{bb}^{us}$ as QCD bound states, while recent studies approaching the $J^P=1^+$ $T_{cc}^{ud}$ find it to be a virtual bound state at slightly non-physical input quark masses. Studies of the $J^P=1^+$ $T_{bc}^{ud}$ are ongoing and a new focus area. In light of these developments the evolution of this field until this point is reviewed. Emphasis is put on the methods in lattice spectroscopy that enable a robust evaluation of the lattice studies gathered. They are further reviewed towards their limitations and achievements. Current challenges and opportunities are discussed, including possibilities to approach the left-hand cut in the scattering analysis of the charm candidates and towards understanding the structure of those including two bottom quarks.
