description: In this work we describe the synthesis and electrochemical properties of nitridated hierarchical TiO$_2$ nanotubes as an electrode for supercapacitors. The hierarchical TiO$_2$ nanostructures are formed by a controlled layer-by-layer TiO2 nanoparticle decoration on self-organized spaced TiO$_2$ nanotubes. These structures are then annealed in NH$_3$ atmosphere at elevated temperature to convert the material to a nitride structure -- this drastically enhances their electron-transport properties. The areal capacitance of hierarchical structures can be tuned by changing the number of decorated TiO$_2$ nanoparticle layers. The capacitance enhancement of the hierarchical structures reaches a maximum when the surface area through nanoparticle deposition is highest and the conductivity via nitridation is optimized.

description: We study the effect of insoluble surfactants on the wave dynamics of vertically-falling liquid films. We use three-dimensional numerical simulations and employ a hybrid interface-tracking/level-set method, taking into account Marangoni stresses induced by gradients of interfacial surfactant concentration. Our numerical predictions for the evolution of the surfactant-free, three-dimensional wave topology are validated against the experimental work of Park & Nosoko (2003). The addition of surfactants is found to influence significantly the development of horseshoe-shaped waves. At low Marangoni numbers, we show that the wave fronts exhibit spanwise oscillations before eventually acquiring a quasi two-dimensional shape. In addition, the presence of Marangoni stresses are found to suppress the peaks of the travelling waves and preceding capillary wave structures. At high Marangoni numbers, a near complete rigidification of the interface is observed.

Evidence for an inner molecular disk around massive Young Stellar Objects

description: We present observations of CO overtone bandhead emission toward four massive Young Stellar Objects (spectral type O6--B5). The high signal-to-noise ratio K-band spectra were obtained with VLT-ISAAC at a resolution of 30 km/s, sufficient to resolve the bandheads, but not the individual J-lines. We are able to explain the shape of the lines by assuming a simple isothermal keplerian disk model seen at different inclinations. The gas temperature ranges from 1500 to 4500 K and the CO column density is between 0.1 and 4 10^21 cm^-2. The emission probably arises within the first few astronomical units of the disk, consistent with the high gas temperature. Our results indicate that molecules can survive close to a hot star and suggest that dense (n_H > 10^10 cm^-3) inner disks may be relatively common at an advanced stage of high-mass star formation.

description: This project is part of a series of projects carried out by the University of Vienna and its Real State and Facility Management Department. The project seeks to complement the information obtained in similar studies that other students did in 2014 and 2016 on the departments of Facility Management of Spanish companies. The Spanish companies studied are from the Top 500 in terms of revenue and all have answered a questionnaire of 28 questions about their department, how they are organized, their outsourcing strategies and their IT programs. Once analyzed and studied the evolution of each FM area in Spain, it has been compared with other European countries where it has been carried similar studies. The selected countries are: Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Romania. To sum up, FM is an increasing area in Spain and it still has a lot to be developed in small and medium-sized companies. However, those who already have the department of FM integrated in their hierarchy recognise that it have benefits in both savings and productivity.

description: Bond-percolation graphs are random subgraphs of the d-dimensional integer lattice generated by a standard bond-percolation process. The associated graph Laplacians, subject to Dirichlet or Neumann conditions at cluster boundaries, represent bounded, self-adjoint, ergodic random operators with off-diagonal disorder. They possess almost surely the non-random spectrum [0,4d] and a self-averaging integrated density of states. The integrated density of states is shown to exhibit Lifshits tails at both spectral edges in the non-percolating phase. While the characteristic exponent of the Lifshits tail for the Dirichlet (Neumann) Laplacian at the lower (upper) spectral edge equals d/2, and thus depends on the spatial dimension, this is not the case at the upper (lower) spectral edge, where the exponent equals 1/2.

description: We demonstrate the fabrication of ultra-low-loss, all-fiber Fabry-Pérot cavities containing a nanofiber section, optimized for cavity quantum electrodynamics. By continuously monitoring the finesse and fiber radius during fabrication of a nanofiber between two fiber Bragg gratings, we are able to precisely evaluate taper transmission as a function of radius. The resulting cavities have an internal round-trip loss of only 0.31% at a nanofiber waist radius of 207 nm, with a total finesse of 1380, and a maximum expected internal cooperativity of $\sim$ 1050 for a cesium atom on the nanofiber surface. Our ability to fabricate such high-finesse nanofiber cavities may open the door for the realization of high-fidelity scalable quantum networks.

description: A total of 289 studies of returns to agricultural R&D were compiled and these provide 1821 estimates of rates of return. After removing statistical outliers and incomplete observations, across the remaining 1128 observations the estimated annual rates of return averaged 65 per cent overall — 80 per cent for research only, 80 per cent for extension only, and 47 per cent for research and extension combined. These averages reveal little meaningful information from a large body of literature, which provides rate‐of‐return estimates that are often not directly comparable. This study was aimed at trying to account for the differences. Several features of the methods used by research evaluators matter, in particular assumptions about lag lengths and the nature of the research‐induced supply shift.

description: Market shares of major beef suppliers to Taiwan, including Australia, the United States and New Zealand, were estimated econometrically to determine their relative competitiveness. The analysis, based on monthly data from June 1990 to August 1997, showed that relative prices and consumer incomes were important factors influencing suppliers’ market shares. Specifically, the demand for Australian beef responded little to an increase in price and negatively to an increase in consumer income. Furthermore, the growth in Taiwan beef consumption has slowed down and Australian beef suppliers need to re‐assess the market potential and develop appropriate marketing strategies to maintain competitiveness.
Dichotomous choice contingent valuation probability distributions

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2000
Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: Parametric distributions applied to dichotomous choice contingent valuation data invoke assumptions about the distribution of willingness to pay that may contravene economic theory. This article develops and applies distributions that allow the shape of bid distributions to vary. Alternative distributions provide little, if any, improvement in statistical fit from commonly used distributions. While median willingness to pay is largely invariant to distribution, estimates of mean consumer surplus diverge widely. Sensitivity analysis to determine benefit measure response to distributional assumptions is essential to prevent erroneous policy advice from applied dichotomous choice research.
Crack roughness and avalanche precursors in the random fuse model

description: We analyze the scaling of the crack roughness and of avalanche precursors in the two dimensional random fuse model by numerical simulations, employing large system sizes and extensive sample averaging. We find that the crack roughness exhibits anomalous scaling, as recently observed in experiments. The roughness exponents ($ζ$, $ζ_{loc}$) and the global width distributions are found to be universal with respect to the lattice geometry. Failure is preceded by avalanche precursors whose distribution follows a power law up to a cutoff size. While the characteristic avalanche size scales as $s_0 \sim L^D$, with a universal fractal dimension $D$, the distribution exponent $τ$ differs slightly for triangular and diamond lattices and, in both cases, it is larger than the mean-field (fiber bundle) value $τ=5/2$.

description: The takeoff point of this paper is to generalize the existing stock trading results for a class of affine feedback controller to include consideration of a stop-loss order. Using the geometric Brownian motion as the underlying stock price model, our main result is to provide a closed-form expression for the cumulative distribution function for the trading profit or loss. In addition, we show that the affine feedback controller with stop-loss order indeed generalizes the result without stop order in the sense of distribution function. Some simulations and illustrative examples are also provided as supporting evidence of the theory. Moreover, we provide some technical results aimed at addressing the issues about survivability, cash-financing considerations, long-only property, and lower bound of the expected gain or loss.

Caloric effects around phase transitions in magnetic materials described by ab initio theory: The electronic glue and fluctuating local moments

description: We describe magneto-, baro- and elastocaloric effects (MCEs, BCEs and eCEs) in materials which possess both discontinuous (first-order) and continuous (second-order) magnetic phase transitions. Our ab initio theory of the interacting electrons of materials in terms of disordered local moments (DLMs) has produced explicit mechanisms for the drivers of these transitions and here we study associated caloric effects in three case studies where both types of transition are evident. Our earlier work had described FeRh's magnetic phase diagram and large MCE. Here we present calculations of its substantial BCE and eCE. We describe the MCE of dysprosium and find very good agreement with experimental values for isothermal entropy ($ΔS_{iso}$) and adiabatic temperature ($ΔT_{ad}$) changes over a large temperature span and different applied magnetic field values. We examine the conditions for optimal values of both $ΔS_{iso}$ and $ΔT_{ad}$ that comply with a Clausius-Clapeyron analysis, which we use to propose a promising elastocaloric cooling cycle arising from the unusual dependence of the entropy on temperature and biaxial strain found in our third case study - the Mn$_3$GaN antiperovskite. We explain how both $ΔS_{iso}$ and $ΔT_{ad}$ can be kept large by exploiting the complex tensile strain-temperature magnetic phase diagram which we had earlier predicted for this material and also propose that hysteresis effects will be absent from half the caloric cycle. This rich and complex behavior stems from the frustrated nature of the interactions among the Mn local moments.

description: Let M be a noncompact metric space in which every closed ball is compact, and let G be a semigroup of Lipschitz mappings of M. Denote by (Y_n)_{n\geq1} a sequence of independent G-valued, identically distributed random variables (r.v.'s), and by Z an M-valued r.v. which is independent of the r.v. Y_n, n\geq1. We consider the Markov chain (Z_n)_{n\geq0} with state space M which is defined recursively by Z_0=Z and Z_{n+1}=Y_{n+1}Z_n for n\geq0. Let ξbe a real-valued function on G\times M. The aim of this paper is to prove central limit theorems for the sequence of r.v.'s (ξ(Y_n,Z_{n-1}))_{n\geq1}. The main hypothesis is a condition of contraction in the mean for the action on M of the mappings Y_n; we use a spectral method based on a quasi-compactness property of the transition probability of the chain mentioned above, and on a special perturbation theorem.

description: Beginning students find the syntactic construct known as a while loop difficult to master. The difficulties revolve around guaranteeing loop termination and around learning how to properly sequence mutations to solve a problem. In fact, both of these are intertwined and students need to be taught a model that helps them reason about how to design while loops. For students that have been introduced to how to design programs using structural recursion, generative recursion, accumulative recursion, and mutation, the task of teaching them how to design while loops is made easier. These students are familiar, for example, with state variables, termination arguments, and accumulator invariants. All of these are fundamental in the design of while loops. This articles presents a novel technique used at Seton Hall University to introduce beginners to the design of while loops. It presents a design recipe that students can follow step-by-step to establish such things as the driver of the loop, the loop invariant, and the proper sequencing of mutations. The article also presents an example of designing a while-loop based function using the new design recipe.

Subjects: Risk and Uncertainty

description: This article analyses optimal decisions under regulation by tradable agricultural production/marketing quotas when production is stochastic. For risk‐neutral and risk‐averse producers the fraction of planned production that is covered by quota is separable from input decisions when yield randomness is additive. The role of quota in protecting against the risk of production shortfall is investigated. A producer is shown to benefit from being allowed to treat as one all tranches of production quota under his control. Production decisions are invariant to this amalgamation. But when production randomness is additive normal, the qualitative impact of amalgamation on quota positions depends upon whether the ratio of rental price to the price difference that is being protected exceeds one half.

We find that the conclusions depend strongly on the $Ω_M$ prior value and on its uncertainty, and show that a biased fitting procedure applied on non concordant simulated data can converge to the "concordance model". Relaxing the prior on $Ω_M$ points to other sets of solutions, which are not excluded by observational data.

Tanulmányunk célja a megújuló energiaforrásokra alapozott technológiák összehasonlítása az alapján, hogy mennyire járulnak hozzá a környezeti állapot megóvásának, a gazdaság és a társadalom fejlődésének együttes igényéhez – tehát a fenntartható fejlődéshez. Munkánk során felmértük a hazai szakértők véleményét a megújuló energetikai technológiák fenntarthatósági jellemzőinek fontosságáról. A megkérdezettek a területigényt és a társadalmi vonatkozásokat tartották a leglényegesebbnek. Ezt követően 23 magyar projekt elemzése alapján arra a következtetésre jutottunk, hogy előnyben részesítendők a helyi jövedelmet fokozottan termelő beruházások, valamint hogy kiemelten támogatandó projektek a nagyobb szélerőműparkok, a geotermikus távfűtés, illetve a kisléptékű biomassza-tüzelés. ------------------------------------------------- Transition toward sustainability is being driven by the global ecological problems. For planning the efficiency of this transition in environmental and development policies the assessment of renewable energy sources in an elaborate and complex way is required. The aim of the study is to consider the contribution of renewable energy based technologies to environmental protection and socio-economic development – and thus to sustainable development. The opinion of Hungarian experts regarding the attributes of renewable energy based technologies was examined. The primacy of land demand as well as social aspects was stated. An analysis of numerous Hungarian renewable energy based projects was then undertaken. We concluded that the profitability on the local market was the priority of the investors. Also the advantages of large-scale wind utilisation, the geothermal district heating and the small-scale biomass burning were shown.

Attention and oculomotor capture
Creators: name: Hunt, Amelia R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The investigations contained in this thesis explore distraction during visual search, with particular attention to what eye movements can reveal about the processes involved in visual search. All the experiments make use of the oculomotor capture effect, whereby an eye movement is misdirected toward a sudden onset distractor before being redirected to a target object. Fundamental differences between eye movements and attention in general, and between eye movements and manual responses in particular, support the current view that oculomotor capture is distinct from the more general effect known as attentional capture. Like oculomotor capture, attentional capture involves interference with visual search for a target by distractors. Unlike oculomotor capture, this interference is expressed as a delayed correct manual response, rather than a misdirected eye movement. The first study shows that resolution of oculomotor conflict between target and distractor responses takes place at or above the level of the superior colliculus, a midbrain structure involved in eye movement control. The second study explores the timecourse of eye movement and manual localization responses to targets in the presence of sudden onsets, and suggests that for both response types, capture reflects the quality of information about the visual display at a given point in time. The final study expands the oculomotor capture effect to search among emotional faces and finds that the eyes are captured by emotional faces more than neutral distractors only if emotion is task-relevant. Together, the research suggests that oculomotor capture is a specific instance of the more general attentional capture effect. It is proposed that differences and similarities between the two types of capture can be explained by the critical idea that the quality of information in a visual display changes over time, and that different response systems tend to access the same information at different moments in time.
A minimalist's view of quantum mechanics

description: We analyse a proposition which considers quantum theory as a mere tool for calculating probabilities for sequences of outcomes of observations made by an Observer, who him/herself remains outside the scope of the theory. Predictions are possible, provided a sequence includes at least two such observations. Complex valued probability amplitudes, each defined for an entire sequence of outcomes, are attributed to Observer's reasoning, and the problem of wave function's collapse is dismissed as a purely semantic one. Our examples include quantum "weak values", and a simplified version of the "delayed quantum eraser".

description: Today, we cannot imagine our personal and professional lives without the use of computers and smart devices as they play a vital role in all spheres of modern life. The application of the information technology in foreign language learning and teaching has already become integral part of our language classroom. Consequently, a vast number of educational platforms and software programs have been created and become the perfect complement in reaching proficiency and fluency, and language courses integrated by technological support are the most effective and attractive for students who want to be successful in language learning. The use of ICT in language learning maximises a lot of new possibilities for effective communication for both teachers and the students not only to develop their language skills, but also they broaden knowledge of using ICT successfully to make teaching and learning better. For this reason, we have decided to present the effective ways of using of ICT in foreign language teaching and learning.

description: Spin-triplet superconductors are of extensive current interest because they can host topological state and Majorana ferimons important for quantum computation. The uranium based heavyfermion superconductor UTe$_2$ has been argued as a spin-triplet superconductor similar to UGe$_2$, URhGe, and UCoGe, where the superconducting phase is near (or coexists with) a ferromagnetic (FM) instability and spin-triplet electron pairing is driven by FM spin fluctuations. Here we use neutron scattering to show that although UTe$_2$ exhibits no static magnetic order down to 0.3 K, its magnetism is dominated by incommensurate spin fluctuations near antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering wave vector and extends to at least 2.6 meV. We are able to understand the dominant incommensurate spin fluctuations of UTe$_2$ in terms of its electronic structure calculated using a combined density functional and dynamic mean field theory.

description: A tanulmányban a szerzők néhány piacvezető halászati termék – az élő ponty, pontyszelet, busaszelet, afrikaiharcsa-filé – kiskereskedelmi árait elemzik ötéves időszakban (2007–2011). Négy kereskedelmi szervezetben (Budapesti Központi Vásárcsarnok vagy Nagycsarnok, AUCHAN, CORA, TESCO) vizsgálták az árak évenkénti változásait, eloszlását, szórásértékeit, az élő és feldolgozott termék árképzésének kölcsönhatását, valamint az értékesítésben alkalmazott akciókat. Megállapítható, hogy a haltermékek áremelkedése (22,8%) elmarad az élelmiszerek KSH által közölt adataitól (26,3%). A vizsgált hipermarketekben a feldolgozott és élő ponty áraránya nem követi a feldolgozási veszteség által indokolt értéket, mivel a hagyományos halértékesítés közel 25%-kal olcsóbban kínálta a szeletelt pontyot. A busaszelet és az afrikaiharcsa-filé árai eltérő módon változtak a halboltokban és az áruházi láncokban. A Nagycsarnok üzleteiben a busát, a hipermarketekben az afrikai harcsát kínálták alacsonyabb áron. Az áralakulások szórásainak vizsgálata azt mutatja, hogy az áruházi láncok kiskereskedelmi árai mutattak nagyobb szórást. A vizsgált termékek akciós értékesítési aránya az élő ponty esetében 33% volt, míg a feldolgozott termékek 19-25% hányadot mutattak. -------------------------------------------------------------- This study analyses the retail prices of the main fresh water fish products such as live common carp, sliced common carp, sliced silver carp and African catfish fillet over a five year period (2007-2011). The variation in prices, distributions, deviations and correlations between the live and processed fish were investigated, as well as the promotions. The survey took place in Budapest Central Market Hall and in AUCHAN, CORA and TESCO hypermarket chains. It can be stated that the prices of fish products showed a smaller increase (22,8%) than other food products (26,3%) (Hungarian Central Statistical Office). In the hypermarket chains the price of sliced product did not follow the processing losses. In traditional fish shops the sliced common carp was offered at lower prices (25%). Prices of sliced silver carp and African catfish varied in different ways. The silver carp was cheaper in traditional shops, unlike the African catfish that was sold in hypermarkets at lower prices. Standard deviations of fish product prices were more equilibrated in the case of hypermarkets. In promotion sales the share of live carp reached 33% in contrast to other products (19-25%).
The XMM-Newton View of the Broad-Line Radio Galaxy 3C 120

description: We present the results of a 127 ks XMM-Newton observation of the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 120 performed simultaneously with RXTE. The time-averaged spectrum is Seyfert-like, with a reflection amplitude R ~ 0.5, and a neutral Fe K line with equivalent width ~53 eV. The line is slightly broadened with a FWHM$\approx 10^4$ km s$^{-1}$. This is consistent with arising from an accretion disc radius of $\ga 75$ $GM/c^2$ at an inclination angle of ~10 degrees, consistent with the limit of < 14 degree derived from the radio jets. At low energies the spectrum requires excess absorption above the Galactic value and a soft excess which is best fit with a bremsstrahlung model (kT=0.3-0.4 keV). The total luminosity in the bremsstrahlung component is just under half of the total hard X-ray luminosity. Weak O VII and O VIII edges are detected with high precision, suggesting the presence of a warm absorber component. A two-component ionized disc model, with a very highly ionized reflector presumably arising from very close to the black hole, is only a small improvement over a truncated disc model. The strength of the soft X-ray emission features produced by the distant neutral reflector are overpredicted in our solar abundance model, implying that the heavy metal abundance in 3C 120 is subsolar. The total count-rate declined by 20 per cent over the course of the long observation, while small-scale rapid variability was present at the level of a few percent. A possible increase in the Fe K line flux, significant at the 90 per cent level, was identified at ~80 ks in the observation. The total unabsorbed luminosity of 3C 120 implies that it is accreting close to its Eddington rate, consistent with a model of an ionized thick disc. A connection between accretion disc thickness and radio jet production is discussed.

description: Foreshock transients are ion kinetic structures in the ion foreshock. Due to their dynamic pressure perturbations, they can disturb the bow shock and magnetosphere-ionosphere system. They can also accelerate particles contributing to shock acceleration. However, it is still unclear how exactly they form. Recent particle-in-cell simulations point out the important role of electric field and Hall current in the formation process. To further examine this, we use data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to apply case studies on two small (1000-2000 km) foreshock transient events that just started to form. In event 1 where MMS were in a tetrahedral formation, we show that the current density configuration, which determined the magnetic field profile, was mainly driven by Hall currents generated by demagnetized foreshock ions. The resulting time variation of the magnetic field induced electric field that drove cold plasma moving outward with magnetic field lines. In event 2 where MMS were in a string-of-pearls formation, we analyze the evolution of field and plasma parameters. We show that the magnetic flux and mass flux were transported outward from the core resulting in the steepening of the boundary. The steepened boundary, which trapped more foreshock ions and caused stronger demagnetization of foreshock ions, nonlinearly further enhanced the Hall current. Based on our observations, we propose a physical formation process that the positive feedback of foreshock ions on the varying magnetic field caused by the foreshock ion Hall current enables an instability and the growth of the structure.

description: We investigate 738 complete genomes of viruses to detect the presence of short inverted repeats. The number of inverted repeats found is compared with the prediction obtained for a Bernoullian and for a Markovian control model. We find as a statistical regularity that the number of observed inverted repeats is often greater than the one expected in terms of a Bernoullian or Markovian model in several of the viruses and in almost all those with a genome longer than 30,000 bp.
