description: The standard no smoking sign or prohibition sign which has a red circle with a red diagonal line through a cigarette picture has been used in schools, universities, as well as public places as a smoking prevention tool in Thailand since 1992. Nevertheless, statistical data indicates that the number of new smokers since 2001 to 2014 has not significantly changed and most of the smokers start this habit between the ages of 15-19 years old. This paper thereby aims to test smoker and non-smoker preference in relation to the standard, current smoking signs as well as other types of signs associated with various behavioral economic principles and psychological ideas. The basic reveal preference approach (RP) and state preference approach (SP) were used in order to test their preference, and the economic binary choices model with the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation was used to measure factors affecting the prevalence of smoking. This paper found that the majority of both smokers and non-smokers preferred Pictorial Health Warning (PHWs) signs which relates to the principle of loss aversion to other types of smoking warning sign. Basically, PHWs is used on the cigarette package which is not often seen by the non-smokers, even the smokers can prevent these PHWs by replacing cigarette packs with cigarette holder cases after buying cigarette packs. However, applying PWHs as a sign posted on school, university, and public places can, to a certain extent, make individuals more concerned about their future losses from smoking. Additionally, this paper found that males, and having friends smoking were two significant factors affecting individual smoking behavior. Finally, we hope that an application of PHWs on the smoking signs grounded on the idea of loss aversion could be further developed as another strategy preventing smoking especially for youths in schools and universities.

description: The quasi-two-dimensional molecular semimetallic conductor $α$-STF$_2$I$_3$ is isostructural with $α$-ET$_2$I$_3$.The latter possesses a unique band structure showing a zero-gap state with Dirac cones under high pressure, whereas the band structure of the former has been elusive because of heavy disorder at all the donor sites. To elucidate the band structure of $α$-STF$_2$I$_3$, a theoretical method based on the observed atomic parameters at 296 K and 1 bar has been proposed. The results suggest that the STF salt should have a band structure with Dirac cones under ambient pressure and temperature, which should promote future experimental studies on this system.Using the extended Hückel method, we demonstrate that the Dirac points of $α$-STF$_2$I$_3$ are aligned to be symmetric with respect to a time reversal invariant momentum (TRIM). Such novel Dirac cones, where the energy difference between the conduction and valence bands has considerable anisotropy, are clarified in terms of the parity of the wavefunction at the TRIM. We propose the conductivity measurement on the present $α$-STF$_2$I$_3$, which is expected to show a large anisotropy as a characteristic of the present Dirac electrons.

description: Recent revolutions were either successful as in Georgia, where the living standards were improved or a great fault as in Yemen, Libya and Syria, where a civil war started. What are the underneath reasons of a successful revolution? Why in some countries anti-governmental protests brought prosperity while in others continuous military conflicts and social deprivation? This paper provides a multi approach analysis of the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine, shows visible and hidden preconditions as well as key social and economic outcomes. It concludes that despite a fundamental shift in the social identity and ideology of the nation, there are number of negative economic results, which slow down economic development and further social improvement.

description: We consider a system of noncolliding Brownian motions introduced in our previous paper, in which the noncolliding condition is imposed in a finite time interval $(0,T]$. This is a temporally inhomogeneous diffusion process whose transition probability density depends on a value of $T$, and in the limit $T \to \infty$ it converges to a temporally homogeneous diffusion process called Dyson's model of Brownian motions. It is known that the distribution of particle positions in Dyson's model coincides with that of eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix-valued process, whose entries are independent Brownian motions. In the present paper we construct such a Hermitian matrix-valued process, whose entries are sums of Brownian motions and Brownian bridges given independently of each other, that its eigenvalues are identically distributed with the particle positions of our temporally inhomogeneous system of noncolliding Brownian motions. As a corollary of this identification we derive the Harish-Chandra formula for an integral over the unitary group.

description: Bonds are securities instruments quite attractive for investors. There are many factors that investors consider when going to invest in bonds market. A number of recent studies indicate that yield is one of the most commonly factors considered by investors. This study aims to identify the various factors that affect bond yields, as well as to explain the mechanisms by which each factors influence yields. The methodology of the research is to analyze secondary data available in Indonesian Bond Market Directory for the period of January 2015 - July 2016. Some statistic tools were used to analyze and interpret data, such as multiple linear regression analysis, coefficient of determination, and analysis of variance, and hypothesis testing using t-test. Based on data compiled from 67 companies and 138 bonds shows that bond maturity and coupon rate have a significant positive effect on bond yield. Instead, issuer's rating has a significant negative effect on bond yield. While on the other hand, liquidity does not give significant influence to bond yield.

description: The purpose of the research is to examine what constitutes professionalism amongst Thai legal practitioners and consultants. By use of simple random-sampling, the 332 legal professionals were surveyed by use of a 72-item, 7-level Likert type agreement scale questionnaire on the study’s four constructs. A confirmatory factor analysis was run prior to the structural equation model, with analysis of the data undertaken by use of LISREL 9.10 software. The results showed that ethics was viewed as the most important aspect by Thai legal professionals (x̄ = 5.71), which was only slightly ahead of the legal consultant’s experience (x̄ = 5.64). Opposite to this however, the legal consultants’ themselves felt that client satisfaction (x̄ = 4.95), and quick solutions (x̄ = 4.84), had minimal importance. Overall results also showed that the latent variable of communications skills (0.67) was most important, followed by competency (0.33), and knowledge management (0.17).
title: Physical Factors Influencing Larval Behaviour in Three Species of Solitary Ascidian
Creators: name: Davis, Martin Herbert
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: Three solitary ascidians, Ciona intestinalis, Ascidiella aspersa and Stycla olava coexist in great abundance in Southampton Water, an estuary on the south coast of England. There appears to be zonation of these ascidians on constant-depth submerged substrata (S. clava above A. aspersa above C. intestinalis). As the adults are sedentary, it is suggested that larval zonation in the water column may play an important role in determining the adult distribution. The physical fectors gravity, light and hydrostatic pressure are proposed as the cues effecting pre-settlement larval zonation.

 Adult ascidians were induced to spawn and monospecific larval populations produced. The responses of these larval populations to light, gravity and hydrostatic pressure, individually and in combination, were determined. The results are used in a qualitative model to identify the depths at which larvae are most likely to congregate; the predictions are compared with the vertical distribution of larvae found in the water column and the distribution of juvenile recruits. Juvenile mortality was eliminated as a cause of adult zonation.

 Adult distribution can be explained by pre-settlement larval behaviour. C. intestinalis larvae were negatively buoyant, negatively geotactic and ambivalently phototactic; it is suggested that these larvae do not concentrate at a specific depth, but circulate in the water column and settle opportunistically. A. aspersa larvae were negatively buoyant, negatively geotactic and positively phototactic; these responses entrain the larvae in a circulation cell below 2 m depth and a buoyancy anomaly concentrates them near the top of the cell, at a depth at which adults are frequently found. S. clava larvae were negatively buoyant, negatively geotactic, and positively phototactic (with high barokinesis); these responses concentrate the larvae near the surface, where adults are found in abundance. Interspecific competition is minimised by larval zonation, permitting these three species to coexist.
Scattering of spinon excitations by potentials in the 1D Heisenberg model

description: By a semi-analytical Bethe ansatz method and a T-matrix approach we study the scattering of a spinon, the elementary quantum many-body topological excitation in the 1D Heisenberg model, by local and phonon potentials. In particular, we contrast the scattering of a spinon to that of a free spinless fermion in the XY model to highlight the effect of strong correlations. For the one spinon scattering in an odd-site chain, we find a regular behavior of the scattering coefficients. In contrast, in an even-site chain there is a transfer of transmission probability between the two spinon branches that grows exponentially with system size. We link the exponent of the exponential behavior to the dressed charge that characterizes the critical properties of the 1D Heisenberg model, an interplay of topological and critical properties. The aim of this study is a microscopic understanding of spinon scattering by impurities, barriers or phonons, modeled as prototype potentials, an input in the analysis of quantum spin transport experiments.

A novel fusion reactor with chain reactions for proton-boron11

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Using a combination of laser-plasma interactions and magnetic confinement configurations, a conceptual fusion reactor is proposed in this paper. Our reactor consists of the following: 1) A background plasma of boron11 and hydrogen ions, plus electrons, is generated and kept for a certain time, with densities of the order of a milligram/cm3and temperatures of tens of eV. Both the radiation level and the plasma thermal pressure are thus very low. 2) A plasma channel is induced in a solid target by irradiation with a high power laser that creates a very intense shock wave. This mechanism conveys the acceleration of protons in the laser direction. The mechanisms must be tuned for the protons to reach a kinetic energy of 600 keV (note that this value is not a temperature). 3) Those ultra-fast protons enter the background plasma and collide with a boron11 to produce 3 alphas of 2.9 MeV. 4) Fusion born alphas collide with protons of the plasma and accelerate them up to 600 keV causing a chain reaction. 5) A combination of an induction current and a magnetic bottle keeps the chain reaction process going on, for a pulse long enough to get a high energy gain. 6) Materials for the background plasma and the laser target must be replaced for starting a new chain reaction cycle.
title: Emotional labour processes in leader-follower role relationships: the perspective of leadership identity work
Creators: name: Ratcharak, Phatcharasiri
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2025

description: This PhD thesis is a collection of three independent papers with the overall objective to explore the process of leader emotional labour from the perspective of leader identity work, particularly in leader-follower role relationships. Paper 1 takes a relational identity approach to conceptualise underlying emotional dynamics of leaderfollower relationships, using managers in healthcare as an exemplar of leaders who occupy multiple role identities at work. The paper proposes the conceptual framework of leader emotional labour based on the salience of leader role identity and their personal latitude. Some propositions are provided to guide on how to use the developed framework in future research. Paper 2 offers a longitudinal multilevel model of emotional labour changes within leaders. The paper uses random coefficient modelling to analyse the multiwave leader-follower dyadic data. The findings reveal the impact of between-leader difference: leader relational self-concept, and the moderating effect of leader-follower relational self-concept similarity on leaders emotional labour and its changes within leaders over time. With this, the paper proposes a person-based mechanism of emotional labour antecedents that is influenced by the heterogeneity of significant followers in role-relationships. Meaningful changes in emotional labour within leaders over time provide some unique insight into emotional labour processes in leader-follower relationships. Paper 3 investigates indirect effects of emotional labour in leader identity work on supervisor well-being through social validation from followers in the presence of leader identity threat. Using structural equation modelling to analyse the multiwave leader-follower dyadic data, the results illustrate the significant boundary conditions where social validation from followers can function differently in leader emotional labour when their leader identity is under threat.

description: Call centers are contact centers that act as communication facilities between customers and businesses with the help of customer representatives. The call center sector where transactions are carried out largely without face to face communication is known as a sector with the most stressful and is also known with having the highest employee turnover rate. Customer representatives are not able to use any initiative and they have too many workloads; for this reason, they are frazzled. In addition, customer representatives need to play role despite of their natural emotions. This affects the emotional labor behavior of sector employees. In this study, the job stress’ mediating role at emotional labor’s effect on intention to leave is investigated. Data was collected from two call centers operating in Bitlis province in Turkey by using survey method. Analyzes were made with the SPSS 23 and AMOS 22 programs through 207 valid questionnaires. In the analyzes made, job stress has full mediating effect at emotional labor variable’s surface acting dimension’s effect on intention to leave. Due to the correlation analyzes performed, there was a significant relationship between surface acting and natural emotions (expression of naturally felt emotions) dimension of emotional labor variable with job stress and intention to leave.

description: Along with increasingly popular virtual reality applications, the three-dimensional (3D) point cloud has become a fundamental data structure to characterize 3D objects and surroundings. To process 3D point clouds efficiently, a suitable model for the underlying structure and outlier noises is always critical. In this work, we propose a hypergraph-based new point cloud model that is amenable to efficient analysis and processing. We introduce tensor-based methods to estimate hypergraph spectrum components and frequency coefficients of point clouds in both ideal and noisy settings. We establish an analytical connection between hypergraph frequencies and structural features. We further evaluate the efficacy of hypergraph spectrum estimation in two common point cloud applications of sampling and denoising for which also we elaborate specific hypergraph filter design and spectral properties. The empirical performance demonstrates the strength of hypergraph signal processing as a tool in 3D point clouds and the underlying properties.

description: This paper investigates the international financial market integration as a trigger for regime switching behavior of Indian implied volatility index and its regime-dependent conditional correlations with the selected developed markets. The 2-state dynamic regression model reveals two different regimes using state-dependent variables during the time period 2009 to 2016. The results found that Hong Kong and US markets have a significant effect on the Indian market during highly volatile state, and there is a clear decoupling effect among these markets when the Indian market is stable. The predicted turning point probabilities indicate that the bull market state is persistent.
A Relativistic Version of the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber Model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Carrying out a research program outlined by John S. Bell in 1987, we arrive at a relativistic version of the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) model of spontaneous wavefunction collapse. The GRW model was proposed as a solution of the measurement problem of quantum mechanics and involves a stochastic and nonlinear modification of the Schrödinger equation. It deviates very little from the Schrödinger equation for microscopic systems but efficiently suppresses, for macroscopic systems, superpositions of macroscopically different states. As suggested by Bell, we take the primitive ontology, or local beables, of our model to be a discrete set of space-time points, at which the collapses are centered. This set is random with distribution determined by the initial wavefunction. Our model is nonlocal and violates Bell's inequality though it does not make use of a preferred slicing of space-time or any other sort of synchronization of spacelike separated points. Like the GRW model, it reproduces the quantum probabilities in all cases presently testable, though it entails deviations from the quantum formalism that are in principle testable. Our model works in Minkowski space-time as well as in (well-behaved) curved background space-times.

description: This paper applies a qualitative approach to examine the environment surrounding the governmental accounting reform process in Malta using Lüder's Financial Management Reform Process Model. The Governmental accounting reform at central level in Malta is a process that has been going on for over 15 years and is still unfinished business. The issue of a tender in 2014 to acquire a new accounting system was a tangible step towards implementation of accrual accounting, however, uncertainties surround the required funds, the underlying new financial legislation and the applicable financial reporting standards. The case of Malta presents an example of a country that is taking advantage of EU politics in order to gain legitimacy. Given the ceremonial and legitimating features of the reform process, institutional theory is introduced in Lüder's Model, putting forward an integrated model that distinguishes between the demands and effects of the technical and institutional environments. The combination of institutional and contingency theories provides a more holistic understanding of the accounting reform process.

description: Malaysia Health Information Exchange (MyHiX) is part of Health Transformation System, which is a national agenda to improve the healthcare service using ICT as an enabler. Its main focus is to share patients’ discharge summary or clinical summary among healthcare facilities. This initiative was launched in November 2008. However, nine years after its launch, MyHiX has been successfully implemented only in eight healthcare institutions in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper presents a systematic review of the existing literatures related to Health Information Exchange or MyHiX, with the aim of exploring the empirical gaps and issues associated with its implementation. Six databases were used to locate relevant studies, namely IEEE, Proquest, Emerald, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Scopus. In total, 70 studies met the inclusion criteria. Further thematic analysis of these studies revealed that issues of MyHIX implementation could be categorized into technological, organizational, environmental and human contexts.

A Judicial Fiction? Retrospectivity and the Role of Parliament
Creators: name: Finlay, Lorraine
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: While a presumption against retrospectivity is applied by Australian courts, it is accepted that Australian Parliaments do have the power to enact retrospective laws. Pursuant to the principle of legality, the requirement is simply that retrospectivity be expressed in clear and unambiguous statutory language. Underpinning this is the idea that any retrospective law will be subject to parliamentary consideration and scrutiny before being adopted. This paper will consider whether the parliamentary scrutiny supposedly underpinning the principle of legality actually operates in practice, or whether it is more of a judicial fiction. The particular examples that will be considered are delegated legislation, claims of parliamentary consultation, legislation by press release, and examples of legal uncertainty requiring judicial clarification. These examples highlight the significant disparity between the parliamentary scrutiny referred to by the courts when applying the presumption against retrospectivity, and the reality of the parliamentary process. The paper concludes that the diminished role played by Parliaments in the Australian political system creates a very real risk of retrospective laws that are ill-considered and that potentially undermine the rule of law.

Creators: name: Paul, Roger Philip
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: Urophora jaceana Hering (Diptera; Tephritidae) is a gall-forming insect of the capitula of Centaurea nigra L. (Compositae). Oviposition occurs at an early stage of flowerbud development. The aim of this thesis is to relate population processes of regulation of fly numbers and phenotypic selection on plant characters to aspects of individual behaviour of Urophora jaceana, through the development of a Dynamic State Variable Model of female fly oviposition choices.

 The dynamic model incorporates larval survival functions obtained experimentally, and foraging time budgets estimated from field observations. The model predicts clutch size and super-oviposition at varying egg-loads, age, and host density. Super-oviposition is more likely at low encounter rates with flowerheads, and this prediction was tested experimentally and found to hold. Using a Monte Carlo Simulation, competition for oviposition sites, and the inverse dependence of larval survival on clutch size at high egg densities, emerge as the most likely regulating factors of fly numbers.

 The effect of gall infestation on plants was found to be limited to reducing seed production. No density dependent regulation of fly density was discovered by k-factor analysis in the gall formation to pupal phase of the life cycle. The intensity of gall infestation was found to be inversely dependent on day of budding of flowerbuds, and relates to resource availability. Measuring the intensity of selection on three plant characters revealed that gall infestation exerts a directional selection pressure on the day of budding of plants. A simple heritability test suggests that there is an evolutionary response to selection.

Successive phase transitions characterized with a substantially wide 1/2-plateau from 55 T to 110 T are observed in this system, resembling those reported in chromium spinel oxides. In addition to the 1/2-plateau phase, the magnetization is found to exhibit two inherent behaviors: a slight change in the slope of the M-H curve at ~ 85 T and a shoulder-like shape at ~ 130 T prior to the saturation. Both of them are accompanied by a hysteresis, suggesting first-order transitions. The theoretical calculation applicable to CuInCr4S8 is also shown, based on the microscopic model with the spin-lattice coupling. The calculation fairly well reproduces the main features of the experimentally observed magnetization process, including a relatively wide cant 2:1:1 phase clearly observed in the previous work [Y. Okamoto et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 87, 034709 (2018)]. The robust 1/2-plateau on CuInCr4S8 seems to be originated from the dominant antiferromagnetic interactions and the strong spin-lattice coupling.

description: While hardware implementations of inference routines for Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) are plentiful, current realizations of efficient BNN hardware training accelerators, suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices, leave much to be desired. Conventional BNN hardware training accelerators perform forward and backward propagations with parameters adopting binary representations, and optimization using parameters adopting floating or fixed-point real-valued representations--requiring two distinct sets of network parameters. In this paper, we propose a hardware-friendly training method that, contrary to conventional methods, progressively binarizes a singular set of fixed-point network parameters, yielding notable reductions in power and resource utilizations. We use the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL development environment to train our progressively binarizing DNNs on an OpenVINO FPGA. We benchmark our training approach on both GPUs and FPGAs using CIFAR-10 and compare it to conventional BNNs.

description: Sherry Rowland was a chemist who made substantial contributions in the fields of radiochemistry and atmospheric science. He is best known for his research on the stratosphere as, with Mario Molina, he wrote the seminal paper describing how chlorofluorocarbons deplete the stratospheric ozone layer, noting that any ozone depletion would be accompanied by a consequent increase in ultraviolet radiation at the earth's surface. In 1995 he, along with Paul Crutzen, was awarded the Nobel Prize for this ground-breaking work. Sherry's career was much more rounded than this brief précis suggests. His various roles included: manager of a semi-professional baseball team while in graduate school; founding chairman of the Chemistry Department at the University of California at Irvine (UCI); tireless and effective advocate for the need to take action on chlorofluorocarbon emissions and climate change; Foreign Secretary of the National Academy of Sciences; and last, but certainly not least, devoted husband, father and grandfather.

description: We study a tensorial exponential transformation of a three-dimensional metric of space-like hypersurfaces embedded in a four-dimensional space-time, $γ_{ij} = e^{ε_{ikm}θ_m} e^{ϕ_k} e^{-ε_{jkn}θ_n}$, where $ϕ_k$ are logarithms of the eigenvalues of $γ_{ij}$, $θ_k$ are rotation angles, and $ε_{ijk}$ is a fully anti-symmetric symbol. Evolution part of Einstein's equations, formulated in terms of $ϕ_k$ and $θ_k$, describes time evolution of the metric at every point of a hyper-surface as a continuous stretch and rotation of a local coordinate system in a tangential space. The exponential stretch-rotation (ESR) transformation generalizes particular exponential transformations used previously in cases of spatial symmetry. The ESR 3+1 formulation of Einstein's equations may have certain advantages for long-term stable integration of these equations.

description: In this paper, we have presented the studies of the motion of magnetized particles and energetic processes around Schwarzschild black holes in modified gravity (MOG). The study of circular stable orbits shows that orbits of magnetized particles can not be stable for the values of magnetic coupling parameter $β\geq 1$. It was also shown that the range of stable circular orbits increases with the increase of both MOG and magnetic coupling parameters, while the effects of magnetic interaction stronger than the gravity. It was obtained that the increase of the MOG parameter causes the increase of center-of-mass energy collision of magnetized particles. Moreover, we have analyzed how to mimic the magnetic interaction with the spin of Kerr and Schwarzschild-MOG black holes. We have obtained that the magnetic coupling parameter can mimic the spin parameter $a \leq 0.15$ ($a \leq 0.28$) giving the same radius of innermost contour(co)-rotating orbits at the values of the parameter $β\in (-1,1)$ and the MOG parameter in the range $α\in (-0.17,0.28)$ while the MOG parameter $α\in (-0.7, 0.9)$ mimics spin parameter of the black hole with the range $|a| \in (0,1)$.

description: The Yemen Arab Republic will continue importing food grains and feedstu largely because of increasing demand and declining local production. Prospects for expanding U.S. agricultural exports to YAR are promising. The U.S. Export Enhancement Program and credit programs were instrumental in more than tripling the value of U.S. agricultural exports between 1985 and 1987. By 1991, wheat and flour imports may rise to 1.1-1.2 million tons from 821,000 tons in 1986, due mainly to increased gross domestic product from newly discovered oil and increased consumer preference for wheat. The Yemeni market could absorb a variety of other U.S. agricultural commodities, especially high-value products, and processed foods.

description: The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) is a deep ($μ_{\rm B,lim}=26$ mag arcsec$^{-2}$), wide field CCD imaging survey, covering 37.5deg$^2$ and is completely contained within the 2dFGRS and SDSS-EDR. We compare the photometry and completeness of the 2dFGRS and the SDSS-EDR with the MGC. We have also undertaken a photometric comparison to SCOS and SDSS-DR1 data. We find that $B_{MGC}-B_{2dF}=0.035$ mag with an uncertainty of 0.142 mag per galaxy, $B_{MGC}-B_{SCOS}=0.032$ mag with an uncertainty of 0.108 mag, $B_{MGC}-B_{SDSS-EDR}=0.032$ mag with an uncertainty of 0.094 mag, and $B_{MGC}-B_{SDSS-DR1}=0.039$ mag with an uncertainty of 0.086 mag. We find that high surface brightness 2dFGRS galaxies are systematically too faint. In the SDSS there is a weak non-linear scale error, which is negligible for faint galaxies. LSBGs in the SDSS are systematically fainter. We find that the 2dFGRS catalogue has 5.2% stellar contamination, 7.0% of objects are resolved into 2 or more by the MGC and is 8.7% incomplete compared to the MGC. From our all object spectroscopic survey we find that the MGC is itself misclassifying 5.6% of galaxies as stars, hence the 2dFGRS misses 14.3% of the galaxies. The SDSS-EDR galaxy catalogue has 1.3% stellar contamination and 5.3% of galaxies misclassified as stars, and is 1.8% incomplete compared to the MGC. Altogether 7.1% of the total galaxy population are missing from the SDSS-EDR catalogue from incompleteness or misclassification.

description: This study examines the effects of export expansion programs for cotton. The success of these programs was found to depend on the level of retaliation by foreign producers. In spite of fairly substantial changes in U.S. export policy, domestic farm program provisions insulate producers from resulting changes in the international market.

description: We present the elliptic flow $v_2$ of pions produced from resonance decays. The transverse momentum $p_T$ spectra of the parent particles are taken from thermal model fits and their $v_2$ are fit under the assumption that they follow number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling expected from quark-coalescence models. The $v_2$ of pions from resonance particle decays is found to be similar to the measured pion $v_2$. We also propose the measurement of electron $v_2$ as a means to extract open-charm $v_2$ and investigate whether a thermalized system of quarks and gluons (a quark-gluon plasma) is created in collisions of Au nuclei at RHIC.

description: Although 3D point cloud data has received widespread attentions as a general form of 3D signal expression, applying point clouds to the task of dense correspondence estimation between 3D shapes has not been investigated widely. Furthermore, even in the few existing 3D point cloud-based methods, an important and widely acknowledged principle, i.e . one-to-one matching, is usually ignored. In response, this paper presents a novel end-to-end learning-based method to estimate the dense correspondence of 3D point clouds, in which the problem of point matching is formulated as a zero-one assignment problem to achieve a permutation matching matrix to implement the one-to-one principle fundamentally. Note that the classical solutions of this assignment problem are always non-differentiable, which is fatal for deep learning frameworks. Thus we design a special matching module, which solves a doubly stochastic matrix at first and then projects this obtained approximate solution to the desired permutation matrix. Moreover, to guarantee end-to-end learning and the accuracy of the calculated loss, we calculate the loss from the learned permutation matrix but propagate the gradient to the doubly stochastic matrix directly which bypasses the permutation matrix during the backward propagation. Our method can be applied to both non-rigid and rigid 3D point cloud data and extensive experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance for dense correspondence learning.
