description: Financial self-sufficiency of communes, the lowest tier of Polish local government, constitutes an important factor in the social and economic development of a region. Rural communes, especially those peripheral to the main urban hubs have lower income potential, which entails lower levels of self-sufficiency. This in turn may create an impediment to the multi-functional development of rural areas, which is one of the prime concerns of EU regional policy. The aim of the article was to assess the level and span of financial self-sufficiency of the Wielkopolska province rural communes compared to the other administrative types in 2005 and 2013. The study drew from the data of the Polish Central Statistical Office.

description: In recent decades, veneers have become popular as a method of minimally invasive cosmetic surgery treatment.Veneers can be made from materials with a variety of chemical properties, including materials based on a vitreous matrix, polycrystalline compositions, and ceramics based on a polymer matrix.The production of veneers with a high level of aesthetics is not considered a budgetary procedure, and people's demands on the conditions of use of veneers increase.The available literature contains data on the preservation of the ceramic composition for 3-20 years of satisfactory quality.At the same time, the cited sources provide quantitative data that characterize the violation of the aesthetic appearance of the tooth and veneers complex.To enhance the beauty of the smile, 38 patients for 6 years received veneers made of glass-ceramic material "IPS Empress Aesthetic" (n = 76) and hybrid material "Estenia" (n = 68) 144.When surgery was performed, 6.5% and 11% were diagnosed with complications, respectively.The article presents an approach that connects the violation of the aesthetic appearance of dental veneers with physiological and pathological changes in the chewing apparatus.

description: Among the possible extensions of General Relativity that have been put forward in order to address some long standing issues in our understanding of the Universe, Scalar-Tensor Theories have received a lot of attention for their simplicity. Interestingly, some of these predict a potentially observable non-linear phenomenon, known as \textit{spontaneous scalarisation}, in the presence of highly compact matter distributions, like the case of neutron stars. Neutron stars are ideal laboratories to investigate the properties of matter under extreme conditions, and in particular they are known to harbour the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. Here, for the first time, we present a detailed study of magnetised neutron stars in Scalar-Tensor Theories. First, we show that the formalism developed for the study of magnetised neutron stars in General Relativity, based on the \textit{eXtended Conformally Flat Condition}, can easily be extended in the presence of a non-minimally coupled scalar field, retaining many of its numerical advantages. We then carry out a study of the parameter space considering the two extreme geometries of purely toroidal and purely poloidal magnetic fields, varying both the strength of the magnetic field and the intensity of scalarisation. We compare our results with magnetised general-relativistic solutions and un-magnetised scalarised solutions, showing how the mutual interplay between magnetic and scalar fields affect the magnetic and the scalarisation properties of neutron stars. In particular, we focus our discussion on magnetic deformability, maximum mass and range of scalarisation.

description: We have examined the directional cross-correlation of statistical `hot-spots' between a Northern Sky TeV Gamma Ray Survey by the Milagro Observatory and a similar survey by the Tibet Array. We find the directions of these hot-spots are angularly uncorrelated between the two surveys for large angular separations (Delta theta > 4 degrees), but there appears to be a statistically significant correlation between hot-spot directions for Delta theta < 1.5 degrees. Independent simulations indicate the chance probability for the occurrence of this correlation is approximately 10^-4, implying the existence of one or more previously unobserved TeV gamma-ray sources in these directions. The data sets are consistent with both point-like sources or diffuse sources with extent of 1 - 2 degrees.

description: The habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars drive thermal, chemical and physical alteration of planetary atmospheres, including escape. Many known extrasolar planets experience vastly different stellar environments than those in our Solar system: it is crucial to understand the broad range of processes that lead to atmospheric escape and evolution under a wide range of conditions if we are to assess the habitability of worlds around other stars. One problem encountered between the planetary and the astrophysics communities is a lack of common language for describing escape processes. Each community has customary approximations that may be questioned by the other, such as the hypothesis of H-dominated thermosphere for astrophysicists, or the Sun-like nature of the stars for planetary scientists. Since exoplanets are becoming one of the main targets for the detection of life, a common set of definitions and hypotheses are required. We review the different escape mechanisms proposed for the evolution of planetary and exoplanetary atmospheres. We propose a common definition for the different escape mechanisms, and we show the important parameters to take into account when evaluating the escape at a planet in time. We show that the paradigm of the magnetic field as an atmospheric shield should be changed and that recent work on the history of Xenon in Earth's atmosphere gives an elegant explanation to its enrichment in heavier isotopes: the so-called Xenon paradox.

For $N=3$, we find that it admits only three nondecomposable critical points: the Wilson-Fisher with $O(3)$ symmetry, the cubic with $H_3=(\mathbb{Z}_2)^3\rtimes S_3$ symmetry, and the biconical with $O(2)\times \mathbb{Z}_2$. For $N=4$, our analysis reveals the existence of new nontrivial solutions with discrete symmetries and with up to three distinct field anomalous dimensions.

description: For at least the last sixty years, the number of French farms has been decreasing and their size increasing. Using the non-salaried contributing farmers’ database (COTNS) of the ‘Mutualité Sociale Agricole’, the French authority for farmers’ healthcare and social security, the processes underlying these trends are studied over the 2003-2014 period, enabling to project the population of French farms at the 2025 horizon. To do so, the method used to consolidate the COTNS database at the farm level and the “mover-stayer” model used to estimate entry, exit and size change transition probabilities are first presented. Projections show that, if the observed trends hold for the next decade, the number of French farms could drop to 328,000 in 2025, meaning a 22% decrease with respect to 2014 figures.
title: Proving Cryptographic C Programs Secure with General-Purpose Verification Tools
Creators: name: Dupressoir, François Stéphane Pascal
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: Security protocols, such as TLS or Kerberos, and security devices such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) or PKCS#11 tokens, are central to many computer interactions. Yet, such security critical components are still often found vulnerable to attack after their deployment, either because the specification is insecure, or because of implementation errors. Techniques exist to construct machine-checked proofs of security properties for abstract specifications. However, this may leave the final executable code, often written in lower level languages such as C, vulnerable both to logical errors, and low-level flaws. Recent work on verifying security properties of C code is often based on soundly extracting, from C programs, protocol models on which security properties can be proved. However, in such methods, any change in the C code, however trivial, may require one to perform a new and complex security proof. Our goal is therefore to develop or identify a framework in which security properties of cryptographic systems can be formally proved, and that can also be used to soundly verify, using existing general-purpose tools, that a C program shares the same security properties. We argue that the current state of general-purpose verification tools for the C language, as well as for functional languages, is sufficient to achieve this goal, and illustrate our argument by developing two verification frameworks around the VCC verifier. In the symbolic model, we illustrate our method by proving authentication and weak secrecy for implementations of several network security protocols. In the computational model, we illustrate our method by proving authentication and strong secrecy properties for an exemplary key management API, inspired by the TPM.
A Substantial Amount of Hidden Magnetic Energy in the Quiet Sun

description: Deciphering and understanding the small-scale magnetic activity of the quiet solar photosphere should help to solve many of the key problems of solar and stellar physics, such as the magnetic coupling to the outer atmosphere and the coronal heating. At present, we can see only ${\sim}1%$ of the complex magnetism of the quiet Sun, which highlights the need to develop a reliable way to investigate the remaining 99%. Here we report three-dimensional radiative tranfer modelling of scattering polarization in atomic and molecular lines that indicates the presence of hidden, mixed-polarity fields on subresolution scales. Combining this modelling with recent observational data we find a ubiquitous tangled magnetic field with an average strength of ${\sim}130$ G, which is much stronger in the intergranular regions of solar surface convection than in the granular regions. So the average magnetic energy density in the quiet solar photosphere is at least two orders of magnitude greater than that derived from simplistic one-dimensional investigations, and sufficient to balance radiative energy losses from the solar chromosphere.

Euclidean action for vacuum decay in a de Sitter universe

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The behavior of the action of the instantons describing vacuum decay in a de Sitter is investigated. For a near-to-limit instanton (a Coleman-de Luccia instanton close to some Hawking-Moss instanton) we find approximate formulas for the Euclidean action by expanding the scalar field and the metric of the instanton in the powers of the scalar field amplitude. The order of the magnitude of the correction to the Hawking-Moss action depends on the order of the instanton (the number of crossings of the barrier by the scalar field): for instantons of odd and even orders the correction is of the fourth and third order in the scalar field amplitude, respectively. If a near-to-limit instanton of the first order exists in a potential with the curvature at the top of the barrier greater than 4 $\times$ (Hubble constant)$^2$, which is the case if the fourth derivative of the potential at the top of the barrier is greater than some negative limit value, the action of the instanton is less than the Hawking-Moss action and, consequently, the instanton determines the outcome of the vacuum decay if no other Coleman-de Luccia instanton is admitted by the potential. A numerical study shows that for the quartic potential the physical mode of the vacuum decay is given by the Coleman-de Luccia instanton of the first order also in the region of parameters in which the potential admits two instantons of the second order.

We achieved a thirty-fold increase of the effective dynamic range of our imaging, and were able to image otherwise saturated samples with unprecedented accuracy of both low- and high-density features.

Reimagining male-male sexuality : representations in Japanese modern literature and gay manga
Creators: name: Hall, Nicholas James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the representation of male-desiring males in modern Japanese literature and comics for gay men, and shows how such representations have been used to various ends by heterosexual authors, as well as by same-sex desiring and openly gay authors. Chapter One provides an overview of representations of male-male eroticism in Japanese literature from the 700s AD, and of the changing attitudes towards male-male sexuality, from the celebrated, paederastic nanshoku tradition of the Edo era (1600-1867) to the medicalized approach to "same-sex love" in the Meiji period (1867-1912), and the emergence of a modern gay identity in the 1980s and 1990s. Chapter Two examines representations of homosexual males in the writings of modern canonical authors Ōe Kenzaburō, Shiba Ryōtarō and Mishima Yukio, and examines the motivations of each author in writing a same-sex-desiring male character, which include the expression of national abjection, and the reflection of new thinking that pathologized male-male desire. Chapter Three focuses on manga produced by and for gay men, and examines contemporary examples of such productions by Hirosegawa Yui, Nohara Kuro, and Masatake from three gay monthly magazines. This chapter explores how such manga are used both to produce and inform gay life in modern Japan. Finally, the Conclusion examines the differences in depictions of male-desiring males in works by writers of mainstream literature and writers of manga for gay men, arguing that while both use homosexual male characters to political ends, the former use such characters for destructive reasons (to express national abjection, for example), while the latter use them for constructive and instructive reasons--as a positive exploration of gay life, and as a blueprint for Japanese gay men to follow.

description: We investigate the formation of polarization profiles induced by a magnetic field in the He I multiplet at 1083,0 nm . Our analysis considers the Zeeman splitting in the incomplete Paschen-Back regime. The effects turn out to be important and produce measurable signatures on the profiles, even for fields significantly weaker than the level-crossing field ($\sim$400 G). When compared to profiles calculated with the usual linear Zeeman effect, the incomplete Paschen-Back profiles exhibit the following conspicuous differences: a) a non-Doppler blueshift of the Stokes V zero-crossing wavelength of the blue component; b) area and peak asymmetries, even in the absence of velocity and magnetic gradients; c) a $\sim$25% reduction in the amplitude of the red component. These features do not vanish in the weak field limit. The spectral signatures that we analyze in this paper may be found in previous observations published in the literature.

Предметом анализа является как общность мировоззренческих, идеологических, эстетических позиций двух ведущих деятелей славянофильства, так и расхождения в понимании тактики предпринимаемой деятельности. Обращается внимание на то, что в позициях современников, которых связывали дружеские отношения, проявляется, в сущности, универсальная оппозиция «дела», предполагающего компромисс («благоразумие», как писал Самарин), — и этической установки, утверждающей «строгость» (понятие, близкое Аксакову), не допускающей каких бы то ни было уклонений от идеологических и религиозных принципов. Особое внимание уделяется личности Самарина, не вполне оцененной до сих пор. Предпринимаемый им поиск единства (или хотя бы взаимодействия) теории и практики по-своему уникален и закладывает некую основу жизнедеятельности славянофилов более поздней поры.

description: This work presents a data-driven magnetostatic finite-element solver that is specifically well-suited to cope with strongly nonlinear material responses. The data-driven computing framework is essentially a multiobjective optimization procedure matching the material operation points as closely as possible to given material data while obeying Maxwell's equations. Here, the framework is extended with heterogeneous (local) weighting factors - one per finite element - equilibrating the goal function locally according to the material behavior. This modification allows the data-driven solver to cope with unbalanced measurement data sets, i.e. data sets suffering from unbalanced space filling. This occurs particularly in the case of strongly nonlinear materials, which constitute problematic cases that hinder the efficiency and accuracy of standard data-driven solvers with a homogeneous (global) weighting factor. The local weighting factors are embedded in the distance-minimizing data-driven algorithm used for noiseless data, likewise for the maximum entropy data-driven algorithm used for noisy data. Numerical experiments based on a quadrupole magnet model with a soft magnetic material show that the proposed modification results in major improvements in terms of solution accuracy and solver efficiency. For the case of noiseless data, local weighting factors improve the convergence of the data-driven solver by orders of magnitude. When noisy data are considered, the convergence rate of the data-driven solver is doubled.

description: A Josephson junction in a topological superconductor can inject a charge e/2 into a normal-metal contact, carried by chiral Majorana edge modes. Here we address the question whether this half-integer charge is a sharp observable, without quantum fluctuations. Because the Majorana modes are gapless, they support charge fluctuations in equilibrium at zero temperature. But we find that the excess noise introduced out of equilibrium by the e/2 charge transfer vanishes. We discuss a strategy to reduce the equilibrium fluctuations, by means of a heavy-tailed time-dependent detection efficiency, to achieve a nearly noiseless half-integer charge transfer.

description: We present an exhaustive study of wormhole configurations in $κ(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T})$ gravity with linear and non-linear functions. The model assumed Morrison-Thorne spacetime where the redshift and shape functions linked with the matter contain and geometry of the spacetime through non-covariant conservation equation of the stress-energy tensor. The first solution was explored assuming a constant redshift function that leads to a wormhole (WH) which is asymptotically non-flat. The remaining solutions were explored in two cases. Firstly, assuming a linear equation of state $p(r)=ωρ(r)$ along with different forms of $κ(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T})-$function. This proved enough to derive a shape function of the form $b(r)=r_{0}\left(\frac{r_{0}}{r}\right)^{1/ω}$. Secondly, by assuming specific choices of the shape function consistent with the wormhole configuration requirements. All the solutions fulfill flare-out condition, asymptotically flat and supported by phantom energy. Further, the embedding surface and its revolution has been generated using numerical method to see how the length of the throat is affected of the coupling parameters through $κ(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T})$ function. At the end, we have also calculated the average null energy condition, which is satisfied by all the WH models signifying minimum exotic matter is required to open the WH throats.

description: By lithographically fabricating an optimised Wheatstone bridge geometry, we have been able to make accurate measurements of the resistance of grain boundaries in Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O7-d between the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, and room temperature. Below Tc the normal state properties were assessed by applying sufficiently high currents. The behaviour of the grain boundary resistance versus temperature and of the conductance versus voltage are discussed in the framework charge transport through a tunnel barrier. The influence of misorientation angle, oxygen content, and calcium doping on the normal state properties is related to changes of the height and shape of the grain boundary potential barrier.

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on the change in consumer preference for U.S. meat and meat products in Mexico and to provide empirical estimates of the extent of sensitivity of meat price change to change in quantity demand. The analyses used an Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System (IAIDS) model to address the study objectives due to its appropriateness in modeling the level of utility for commodities with fixed or exogenously determined short run supply. The study findings show that Mexico’s participation in NAFTA could have indirectly effected a structural change in demand for imported meat from the U.S. but the direction of change is heterogeneous among the different meat groups. Also, while Mexican demand for U.S. meat is inflexible, price response to changes in the quantity of imported U.S. poultry is much sensitive compared to pork and beef.

description: This exploratory research examines the relationship between food entrepreneur sustainable orientation, mindset and firm sustainable practices in a mixed methods format. In particular we seek to address if entrepreneur behavior and firm practices are congruent with founding entrepreneur espoused support of sustainability. Our survey findings with thirty specialty food entrepreneurs suggest tenuous empirical support for the relationship of entrepreneur sustainable orientation, mindset and firm sustainable practices. However our qualitative results indicate positive relationships between sustainable orientation, mindset and practices. Evidence from this work highlights the critical role of founding entrepreneurs for successful implementation of sustainability along its multiple fronts including profitability.

description: The collective behavior of thermally active structures offers clues on the emergent degrees of freedom and the physical mechanisms that determine the low energy state of a variety of systems. Here, the thermally active dynamics of magnetic dipoles at square plaquettes is modeled in terms of Brownian oscillators in contact with a heat bath. Solution of the Langevin equation for a set of interacting x-y dipoles allows the identification of the time scales and correlation length that reveal how interactions, temperature, damping and inertia may determine the frequency modes of edge and bulk magnetic mesospins in artificial dipolar systems.

description: This paper reviews the history of the conformal extension of Galilean symmetry, now called Schrödinger symmetry. In the physics literature, its discovery is commonly attributed to Jackiw, Niederer and Hagen (1972). However, Schrödinger symmetry has a much older ancestry: the associated conserved quantities were known to Jacobi in 1842/43 and its euclidean counterpart was discovered by Sophus Lie in 1881 in his studies of the heat equation. A convenient way to study Schrödinger symmetry is provided by a non-relativistic Kaluza-Klein-type "Bargmann" framework, first proposed by Eisenhart (1929), but then forgotten and re-discovered by Duval {\it et al.} only in 1984. Representations of Schrödinger symmetry differ by the value $z=2$ of the dynamical exponent from the value $z=1$ found in representations of relativistic conformal invariance. For generic values of $z$, whole families of new algebras exist, which for $z=2/\ell$ include the $\ell$-conformal galilean algebras. We also review the non-relativistic limit of conformal algebras and that this limit leads to the $1$-conformal galilean algebra and not to the Schrödinger algebra. The latter can be recovered in the Bargmann framework through reduction. A distinctive feature of Galilean and Schrödinger symmetries are the Bargmann super-selection rules, algebraically related to a central extension. An empirical consequence of this was known as "mass conservation" already to Lavoisier. As an illustration of these concepts, some applications to physical ageing in simple model systems are reviewed.

description: Eight provinces, including Ben Tre, located in the Mekong River Delta, are among Vietnam’s most vulnerable areas to climate change (CC) triggered events. We conducted a study to identify the impacts of CC on Ben Tre Province coastal communities; to evaluate their knowledge, preparedness, perception of severity; and the effects of CC triggered events on aquaculture. We conducted three focus group discussions and a survey of 300 households. Farmers were aware of changing climatic conditions and pointed out indicators of these changes: (1) Changes in production and culturing patterns, (2) Changes in housing designs, and (3) Construction of dikes to prevent salt water intrusion. About 35, 40 and 26 percent of the total sample said they suffered losses to their aquaculture farms from typhoons, salt intrusion and erosion, respectively. Age, education and previous effects from CC events affected knowledge, preparedness, and severity of CC triggered events. Farmers who were engaged in aquaculture were more likely to be prepared for CC events than those who were not.

description: International MasterClasses (IMC), an outreach activity of the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG), has been bringing cutting-edge particle physics research to schoolchildren for over 15 years now. All four LHC experiments participate in the event, including ALICE, the experiment optimised for the study of heavy-ion collisions. Heavy-ion physics is actively contributing to IMC with new developments including experimental measurements but also applications for society, such as treatment of cancer with ions. In particular, ALICE provides three MC measurements related to the main observables used to characterize the properties of the produced Quark-Gluon Plasma. Historically, those MC measurements were developed independently, inheriting from the first one, by several ALICE groups. Since all of them are based on the ROOT EVE package, a project to integrate them into a common framework was undertaken. ALICE delivers now a single and easy-to-use application, compiled under Linux, MacOS, and, for the first time, Windows. Then, in line with current IPPOG goals to increase the global reach and scope of the IMC programme a newly developed measurement on medical applications of particle physics, the Particle Therapy MasterClass (PTMC) was introduced in the IMC2020 programme. It is a simplified version of matRad, a MATLAB-based toolkit for calculation of dose deposition in the body and allows for planning of radiotherapy using different modalities and highlighting the benefits of treatment with ions.

description: A limitation of brain-computer interface (BCI) spellers is that they require the user to be able to move the eyes to fixate on targets. This poses an issue for users who cannot voluntarily control their eye movements, for instance, people living with late-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This pilot study makes the first step towards a gaze-independent speller based on the code-modulated visual evoked potential (c-VEP). Participants were presented with two bi-laterally located stimuli, one of which was flashing, and were tasked to attend to one of these stimuli either by directly looking at the stimuli (overt condition) or by using spatial attention, eliminating the need for eye movement (covert condition). The attended stimuli were decoded from electroencephalography (EEG) and classification accuracies of 88% and 100% were obtained for the covert and overt conditions, respectively. These fundamental insights show the promising feasibility of utilizing the c-VEP protocol for gaze-independent BCIs that use covert spatial attention when both stimuli flash simultaneously.

description: The recent shocks in global prices of cereals and the spillover effects of trade restrictive policies adversely affected domestic markets, particularly in the net food importing countries such as Afghanistan. This paper investigates the effects of 2007–2008 spikes in global wheat prices on the dynamics of price transmission and long-run equilibrium relationship between global and domestic wheat markets. The findings indicate that domestic and global wheat markets may be cointegrated in Regime-I (pre-break), Regime-II (post-break) and the overall sample period. Moreover, the elasticity of price transmission and speed of adjustment towards the long-run equilibrium are substantially different between the two regimes, i.e., they appear to be larger in Regime-I as compared to Regime-II. Similarly, the effect of a shock in global wheat prices on domestic wheat markets might be long-lasting in Regime-I but transitory in Regime-II. This research underlines the need for mitigating the adverse effect of spikes in global wheat prices on domestic wheat markets in the context of a landlocked net food importing country.
