description: We devise a method based on the tensor-network formalism to calculate genuine multisite entanglement in ground states of infinite spin chains containing spin-1/2 or spin-1 quantum particles. The ground state is obtained by employing an infinite time-evolving block decimation method acting upon an initial matrix product state for the infinite spin system. We explicitly show how such infinite matrix product states with translational invariance provide a natural framework to derive the generalized geometric measure, a computable measure of genuine multisite entanglement, in the thermodynamic limit of quantum many-body systems with both spin-1/2 and higher-spin particles.

description: The leptonic CP-violating phase $δ$ can be measured with a Neutrino Factory with $2 \times 10^{20} $ useful muons per year, if the solar neutrino problem is solved by the LMA-MSW solution, with $Δm_{12}^2 \ge 2 \times 10^{-5}$ eV$^2$ (in this analysis a 40 kT magnetized iron detector is considered, taking into account its efficiencies and backgrounds). If LSND is confirmed, CP-violating phenomena in four-family scenarios can be most easily addressed with a small 1 kT detector at $L = \cal O$(10) km (no detailed analysis of the detector efficiencies and backgrounds has been performed in this case).

description: Prompted by the ongoing development of content personalization by social networks and mainstream news brands, and recent debates about balancing algorithmic and editorial selection, this study explores what audiences think about news selection mechanisms and why. Analysing data from a 26-country survey (N = 53,314), we report the extent to which audiences believe story selection by editors and story selection by algorithms are good ways to get news online and, using multi-level models, explore the relationships that exist between individuals’ characteristics and those beliefs. The results show that, collectively, audiences believe algorithmic selection guided by a user’s past consumption behaviour is a better way to get news than editorial curation. There are, however, significant variations in these beliefs at the individual level. Age, trust in news, concerns about privacy, mobile news access, paying for news, and six other variables had effects. Our results are partly in line with current general theory on algorithmic appreciation, but diverge in our findings on the relative appreciation of algorithms and experts, and in how the appreciation of algorithms can differ according to the data that drive them. We believe this divergence is partly due to our study’s focus on news, showing algorithmic appreciation has context-specific characteristics.

description: Non-invasive prenatal testing or NIPT is currently among the top researched topic in obstetric care. While the performance of the current state-of-the-art NIPT solutions achieve high sensitivity and specificity, they still struggle with a considerable number of samples that cannot be concluded with certainty. Such uninformative results are often subject to repeated blood sampling and re-analysis, usually after two weeks, and this period may cause a stress to the future mothers as well as increase the overall cost of the test. We propose a supplementary method to traditional z-scores to reduce the number of such uninformative calls. The method is based on a novel analysis of the length profile of circulating cell free DNA which compares the change in such profiles when random-based and length-based elimination of some fragments is performed. The proposed method is not as accurate as the standard z-score; however, our results suggest that combination of these two independent methods correctly resolves a substantial portion of healthy samples with an uninformative result. Additionally, we discuss how the proposed method can be used to identify maternal aberrations, thus reducing the risk of false positive and false negative calls.

description: The paper focuses on analysis of Central Asian hydro-energetic system and water usage in Tian Shan region. Tian Shan system is important water resource in Central Asia: mountains river waters are intensely taken for hydropower energy, urban systems, irrigation. But geopolitics in Tian Shan is difficult: it crosses five densely populated countries. Current problem consists in water delivery between territories located in the highlands with excellent water supply and those located in valleys with water shortage. Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan control river basins, and Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan depend on water supply. The problem of water use causes debates among these countries. Besides, climate warming affects glaciers and causes water deficit. Altogether, this leads to difficulties in hydro-energetics. A multidisciplinary analysis was performed in research: geopolitical problems of water supply in Tian Shan, spatial distribution of hydro-energetic resources and climate impact on hydro-energetics. СНАБДЕВАЊЕ ВОДОМ И УПОТРЕБА У СРЕДЊОЈ АЗИЈИ, ТИАН ШАН БАСЕН Резиме: Рад се заснива на анализи Централно-азијског енергетског система и искоришћења воде у региону Tian Shan. Tian Shan је важан извор воде у Централној Азији: воде планинских река се интензивно користе за добијање хидроенергије, урбане системе и наводњавање и тако даље. Али, геополитика у Tian Shan је сложена: ту се сусреће пет густо насељених држава. Тренутни проблем је у достави воде између територија које се налазе у планинским крајевима са одличном снабдевеношћу водом и оних које се налазе у долинама са мањком воде. Tajikistan и Kyrgyzstan контролишу речне басене, док Kazakhstan и Uzbekistan зависе од водоснабдевања. Проблем снабдевања водом узрокује дебате између ових држава. Поред тога, глобално загревање утиче на глечере и узрокује дефицит воде. Све у свему, ово доводи до потешкоћа и водоснабдевању и њеном коришћењу. Мултидисциплинарним анализама су истражени: геополитички проблеми водоснабдевања у Tian Shan, просторна дистрибуција хидро-енергетских извора и климатски утицај на хидро-енергију.

description: Surface plasmon resonances of metallic nanostructures offer great opportunities to guide and manipulate light on the nanoscale. In the design of novel plasmonic devices, a central topic is to clarify the intricate relationship between the resonance spectrum and the geometry of the nanostructure. Despite the many advances, the design becomes quite challenging when the desired spectrum is highly complex. Here we develop a new theoretical model for surface plasmons of interacting nanoparticles to reduce the complexity of the design process significantly. Our model is developed by combining plasmon hybridization theory with transformation optics, which yields an efficient way of simultaneously controlling both global and local features of the resonance spectrum. As an application, we propose a design of metasurface whose absorption spectrum can be controlled over a large class of complex patterns through only a few geometric parameters in an intuitive way. Our approach provides fundamental tools for the effective design of plasmonic metamaterials with on-demand functionality.

The results consist in recognized distribution of land use patterns. ILWIS GIS is a convenient open source GIS, useful for spatial analysis and land use monitoring. Clustering method is useful for ecological mapping, since it enables objective identification of the land types in regions characterized by high land heterogeneity and complex structure, such as agricultural fields mixed with natural land cover types. The experience of Landsat TM imagery processing by means of ILWIS GIS, described in the current work, is a contribution towards agricultural mapping.

It is shown that quantitative agreement with experimental data for the energy and the width can be obtained if the effects of isospin-breaking nuclear forces are included, in addition to the Coulomb force effects. A connection between microscopic model predictions and doorway state approaches which make use of the isovector monopole resonance, is established via a phenomenological ansatz for the optical potential.

description: Almost all the knowledge empowered applications rely upon accurate knowledge, which has to be either collected manually with high cost, or extracted automatically with unignorable errors. In this paper, we study 20 Questions, an online interactive game where each question-response pair corresponds to a fact of the target entity, to acquire highly accurate knowledge effectively with nearly zero labor cost. Knowledge acquisition via 20 Questions predominantly presents two challenges to the intelligent agent playing games with human players. The first one is to seek enough information and identify the target entity with as few questions as possible, while the second one is to leverage the remaining questioning opportunities to acquire valuable knowledge effectively, both of which count on good questioning strategies. To address these challenges, we propose the Learning-to-Ask (LA) framework, within which the agent learns smart questioning strategies for information seeking and knowledge acquisition by means of deep reinforcement learning and generalized matrix factorization respectively. In addition, a Bayesian approach to represent knowledge is adopted to ensure robustness to noisy user responses. Simulating experiments on real data show that LA is able to equip the agent with effective questioning strategies, which result in high winning rates and rapid knowledge acquisition. Moreover, the questioning strategies for information seeking and knowledge acquisition boost the performance of each other, allowing the agent to start with a relatively small knowledge set and quickly improve its knowledge base in the absence of constant human supervision.

description: Computational modelling of two- and three-oscillator schemes with thermally coupled $VO_2$-switches is used to demonstrate a novel method of pattern storage and recognition in an impulse oscillator neural network (ONN) based on the high-order synchronization effect. The method ensures high information capacity of associative memory, i.e. a large number of synchronous states $N_s$. Each state in the system is characterized by the synchronization order determined as the ratio of harmonics number at the common synchronization frequency. The modelling demonstrates attainment of $N_s$ of several orders both for a three-oscillator scheme $N_s$~650 and for a two-oscillator scheme $N_s$~260. A number of regularities are obtained, in particular, an optimal strength of oscillator coupling is revealed when $N_s$ has a maximum. A general tendency toward information capacity decrease is shown when the coupling strength and switch inner noise amplitude increase. An algorithm of pattern storage and test vector recognition is suggested. It is also shown that the coordinate number in each vector should be one less than the switch number to reduce recognition ambiguity. The demonstrated method of associative memory realization is a general one and it may be applied in ONNs with various mechanisms and oscillator coupling topology.

What if the Mass Difference $ΔM_s$ is around 18 Inverse Picoseconds?

description: Present experiments in pursuit of the mass difference in the Bs-Bs(bar) system have put a lower bound on this quantity of $ΔM_s > 14.9 ps^{-1}$ (at 95% C.L.). The same experiments also yield a local minimum in the log-likelihood function around $ΔM_s = 17.7 ps^{-1}$, which is $2.5σ$ away from being zero. Motivated by these observations, we investigate the consequences of a possible measurement of $ΔM_s = 17.7 \pm 1.4 ps^{-1}$, in the context of both the standard model and supersymmetric models with minimal flavor violation. We perform a fit of the quark mixing parameters in these theories and estimate the expected ranges of the CP asymmetries in B decays, characterized by $α$, $β$ and $γ$, the interior angles of the CKM-unitarity triangle. Based on this study, we argue that, if indeed $ΔM_s$ turns out to be in its currently-favored range, this would disfavor a large class of supersymmetric models. Indeed, of all the models examined here, the best fit to the data occurs for the standard model.

description: Presented work illustrates application of the GIS based processing of various geographic data: satellite images and CORINE (Coordination of Information on the Environment) layers at the lessons of geography in the high schools and universities. The research illustrates GIS application for understanding, visualizing and modeling landscapes of the Earth. Practically, the work aims to demonstrate students, how mapping land cover types can be done using GIS and combination of vector and raster geospatial data. Practical example of this work is application of IDRISI GIS and geospatial data towards a study region, located on the coasts of the Baltic Sea: Pärnu region. The GIS project was performed using Landsat TM satellite image and thematic CORINE layers showing land cover and vegetation types. The CORINE project was started in 1985 in the European Union (EU). This is a cartographic database common and standardized for the EU. The project consists of 44 land cover types in classes, presented as a series of maps at a scale of 1:100 000. This database is available for the most areas of Europe (EU) including Estonia. There are numerous examples of Figure 1-Study area: western Estonia, Pärnu region

description: Research work analyses current situation and development of tourism in the region of Baltic Sea. Specific case study of this paper is Pärnu Bay, Estonia. This region is known for unique environmental settings: mild maritime climate, broad beaches, coniferous pine forests on the coastal zone and high aesthetic value of the surrounding landscapes. However, after the end of USSR, Estonia survived a difficult period of restructuring of economic and social system. This affected tourist cluster, rapidly developing in new directions. Soviet tourist areas became abandoned and reconstructed, new hotels are being actively created, intensive privatization of recreation houses is actively ongoing. Main problem in the tourist cluster in Estonia consists in its specific location on the Baltic Sea with cold climate in summer period. It causes low popularity among tourists, comparing to Mediterranean. Another problem consists in ongoing development of the country, reflected in low investments into tourism, comparing to other European countries. Therefore, the main perspective for the tourism development in Estonia includes active redirection towards eco-style sustainable tourism: camping, biking, sea side recreation, construction of summer cottages for vacations, organized tours to Natural Parks. This paper, supported by fieldwork, has analytical character reviewing current Estonian tourism dynamics. Socio-political effects on current tourism directions are discussed, while modern tourist system in Estonia compared to Soviet. The overview of the recreation resort places was performed in Häädemeeste municipality, Pärnu district, and resulted in series of thematic author photos. The research was performed at the University of Tartu.

description: Determinations of the UV luminosity function of AGN at high redshifts are important for constraining the AGN contribution to reionization and understanding the growth of supermassive black holes. Recent inferences of the luminosity function suffer from inconsistencies arising from inhomogeneous selection and analysis of AGN data. We address this problem by constructing a sample of more than 80,000 colour-selected AGN from redshift z=0 to 7.5. While this sample is composed of multiple data sets with spectroscopic redshifts and completeness estimates, we homogenise these data sets to identical cosmologies, intrinsic AGN spectra, and magnitude systems. Using this sample, we derive the AGN UV luminosity function from redshift z=0 to 7.5. The luminosity function has a double power law form at all redshifts. The break magnitude $M_*$ of the AGN luminosity function shows a steep brightening from $M_*\sim -24$ at z=0.7 to $M_*\sim -29$ at z=6. The faint-end slope $β$ significantly steepens from $-1.7$ at $z<2.2$ to $-2.4$ at $z\simeq 6$. In spite of this steepening, the contribution of AGN to the hydrogen photoionization rate at $z\sim 6$ is subdominant (< 3%), although it can be non-negligible (~10%) if these luminosity functions hold down to $M_{1450}=-18$. Under reasonable assumptions, AGN can reionize HeII by redshift z=2.9. At low redshifts (z<0.5), AGN can produce about half of the hydrogen photoionization rate inferred from the statistics of HI absorption lines in the IGM. Our global analysis of the luminosity function also reveals important systematic errors in the data, particularly at z=2.2--3.5, which need to be addressed and incorporated in the AGN selection function in future in order to improve our results. We make various fitting functions, luminosity function analysis codes, and homogenised AGN data publicly available.

description: Monolayer valley semiconductors, such as tungsten diselenide (WSe$_2$), possess valley pseudospin degrees of freedom that are optically addressable but degenerate in energy. Lifting the energy degeneracy by breaking time-reversal symmetry is vital for valley manipulation. This has been realized by directly applying magnetic fields or via pseudo-magnetic fields generated by intense circularly polarized optical pulses. However, sweeping large magnetic fields is impractical for devices, and the pseudo-magnetic fields are only effective in the presence of ultrafast laser pulses. The recent rise of two-dimensional (2D) magnets unlocks new approaches to control valley physics via van der Waals heterostructure engineering. Here we demonstrate wide continuous tuning of the valley polarization and valley Zeeman splitting with small changes in the laser excitation power in heterostructures formed by monolayer WSe$_2$ and 2D magnetic chromium triiodide (CrI$_3$). The valley manipulation is realized via optical control of the CrI$_3$magnetization, which tunes the magnetic exchange field over a range of 20 T. Our results reveal a convenient new path towards optical control of valley pseudospins and van der Waals magnetic heterostructures.

description: Neuroscientists have devoted significant effort into the creation of standard brain reference atlases for high-throughput registration of anatomical regions of interest. However, variability in brain size and form across individuals poses a significant challenge for such reference atlases. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a fully automated deep neural network-based method (SeBRe) for registration through Segmenting Brain Regions of interest with minimal human supervision. We demonstrate the validity of our method on brain images from different mouse developmental time points, across a range of neuronal markers and imaging modalities. We further assess the performance of our method on images from MR-scanned human brains. Our registration method can accelerate brain-wide exploration of region-specific changes in brain development and, by simply segmenting brain regions of interest for high-throughput brain-wide analysis, provides an alternative to existing complex brain registration techniques.

description: Shape optimisation of concrete elements will reduce concrete consumption and hence embodied carbon. However, providing both formwork and reinforcement for shape optimised concrete elements is challenging due to their curved geometries. This paper explores a novel design and construction method for shape optimised concrete beams where flexible CFRP textile is used as a stay-in-place participating formwork, i.e. serving as both the formwork and reinforcement. Technical feasibility of the system was assessed through generating a series of beam designs to discuss the scale of the CFRP textiles required. Environmental feasibility was also assessed by estimating embodied carbon of several designs against conventional beam designs. Due to lack of readily available options in the present market, further studies are needed to assess the technical feasibility of using CFRP textiles up to 2 mm thick as participating formwork to reinforce beam designs required in practice. Shape optimisation can reduce concrete volume by up to 36% compared to equivalent prismatic beam designs with similar midspan depths. The midspan depth of the design with minimum embodied carbon for a given design criteria may not coincide with the depth of a conventional prismatic beam design, yet embodied carbon reductions up to 33% are possible.

description: Color confinement by the mechanism of Kugo and Ojima can treat confinement of any quantized color carrying fields including dynamical quarks. However, the non-perturbative condition for this confinement has been known to be satisfied only in the pure-gauge model (PGM), which is a topological model without physical degrees of freedom. Here we analyze the Yang-Mills theory by adding physical degrees of freedom as perturbation to PGM. We find that quarks and gluons are indeed confined in this perturbation theory.

Rural Sustainability and Management of Natural Resources in Tian Shan Region, Central Asia
Creators: name: Lemenkova, Polina
Publisher: name: figshare

Subjects: Geography

description: The research examines aspects of natural and cultural heritage and environmental management in Tian Shan region, Central Asia. This region is outstanding for the richness of natural resources, landscapes and ecosystems. Natural resources of Tian Shan are exceptional: the ecosystems include numerous protected and rare species, endemics, unique coniferous forests, rich biodiversity. However, nowadays the ecosystems experience environmental and anthropogenic impacts. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union (1990s), there is a clear shift of the Central Asian society back to the subsistence agriculture with recovered traditional style of life: private land use and cattle grazing on mountain pastures. Therefore, the anthropogenic impacts are presented by the livestock husbandry and nomadic pastures, since the majority of the local population now maintain traditional style of life. The livestock is increased, and strong grazing pressure become transform to overgrazing. This leads to unsustainable agriculture and overgrazing caused by cattle herds, and affects sustainability in mountainous landscapes. Given the unique ecology of the region, special measures should be taken to maintain ecosystems' sustainability. The sustainable management of natural resources in this unique region needs stimulating balanced co-existence of man and nature, and requires quality insights and acquaintanceship. Nevertheless, the information about Tian Shan environment is the least available comparing to other Eurasian mountains, and there is lack of regular environmental monitoring programs cooperated at the cross-country level. This research contributes to regional monitoring of Tian Shan, providing analysis of its environmental situation and examining ways for the sustainable use of natural resources

description: We solve the coordinate space Faddeev equations in the continuum. We employ hyperspherical coordinates and provide analytical expressions allowing easy computation of the effective potentials at distances much larger than the ranges of the interactions where only s-waves in the different Jacobi coordinates couple. Realistic computations are carried out for the Borromean halo nuclei 6He (n+n+α) for Jπ= 0+-, 1+-, 2+- and 11Li (n+n+9Li) for (1/2)+-, (3/2)+-, (5/2)+-. Ground state properties, strength functions, Coulomb dissociation cross sections, phase shifts, complex S-matrix poles are computed and compared to available experimental data. We find enhancements of the strength functions at low energies and a number of low-lying S-matrix poles.

description: English law encompasses inchoate offences, crimes that address conduct before the full commission of a substantive crime. One such inchoate offence is conspiracy. This paper delves into the examination of conspiracy across three Commonwealth jurisdictions: Nigeria, India, and the Australian State of Queensland. The foundation for this exploration is the English legal system, the source of common law, given that these three jurisdictions base their legal systems on English common law principles. While the English legal system lays the groundwork, the analysis extends to the regulation of conspiracy in each jurisdiction. In Nigeria, the Penal Code and the Criminal Code govern this offence, while in India, the Indian Penal Code provides the legal framework. In the Australian State of Queensland, the Criminal Code of 1899, which influenced the Nigerian Criminal Code, serves as the guiding statute. This comparative analysis aims to shed light on the varying approaches to conspiracy in these Commonwealth jurisdictions and their alignment with English law principles.
