title: MODELLING AND SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF MARITIME CONTAINER SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS
Creators: name: Wan, C
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2019

description: Maritime container supply chains (MCSCs) is exposed to various risks arising from both internal operations and the external environment, and the increasing complexity of the modern global logistics system makes the situation even worse, thus causing a significant challenge to the effective risk management of MCSCs. However, systematic studies on this topic are relatively few. In view of this, this study aims to explore and analyse various MCSC risks, develop suitable risk assessment methods, and evaluate the overall performance of MCSCs from a systematic perspective, so as to ensure the safety, reliability, and resilience of MCSCs. This research starts with the identification and classification of all possible risk factors that may be involved in an MCSC based on a comprehensive literature review, and the research results are further validated through a Delphi expert survey. The identified risk factors are then analysed, screened, and assessed in detail. The novelty of this study lies not only on the risk assessment of MCSCs under an uncertain environment from a supply chain level but also on the consideration of the impact of risk condition of each individual MCSC on the overall performance of the entire container supply network. The research results will provide useful insights and valuable information for both researchers and practitioners on the risk analysis and assessment of MCSCs, which is beneficial to different types of stakeholders involved in the maritime shipping industry. The work is also able to provide a theoretical foundation for risk-based decision making and shipping route optimisation in further work. Although the risk assessment methods are presented on the basis of the specific context in MCSCs, it is believed that, with domain-specific knowledge and data, they can also be tailored for a wide range of applications to evaluate the reliability and performance of other supply chain systems, especially where a high level of uncertainty is involved.

description: In this work, we study the problem of finding the maximum value of a non-negative submodular function subject to a limit on the number of items selected, a ubiquitous problem that appears in many applications, such as data summarization and nonlinear regression. We provide the first deterministic, linear-time approximation algorithms for this problem that do not assume the objective is monotone. We present three deterministic, linear-time algorithms: a single-pass streaming algorithm with a ratio of $23.313 + ε$, which is the first linear-time streaming algorithm; a simpler deterministic linear-time algorithm with a ratio of $11.657$; and a $(4 + O(ε))$-approximation algorithm. Finally, we present a deterministic algorithm that obtains ratio of $e + ε$ in $O_ε(n \log(n))$ time, close to the best known expected ratio of $e - 0.121$ in polynomial time.

description: We study the spin 1/2 triangular-lattice $J_1$-$J_2$-$J_3$ antiferromagnet close to the saturation field using the dilute Bose gas theory, where the magnetic structure is determined by the condensation of magnons. We focus on the case of ferromagnetic $J_1$ and antiferromagnetic $J_2,J_3$, that is particularly rich because frustration effects allow the single-magnon energy dispersion to have six-fold degenerate minima at incommensurate momenta. Our calculation also includes an interlayer coupling $J_0$, which covers both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic cases including negligibly small regime (two-dimensional case). Besides the spiral and fan phases, we find a new double-$q$ phase (superposition of two modes), dubbed "${\bf Q}_0$-${\bf Q}_1$" (or simply "01") phase, that enjoys a new type of multiferroic character. Certain phase boundaries have a singular $J_0$ dependence for $J_0\to 0$, implying that even a very small interlayer coupling drastically changes the ground state. A mechanism for this singularity is presented. Moreover, in some regions of the parameter space, we show that a dilute gas of magnons can not be stable, and phase separation (corresponding to a magnetization jump) is expected. In the $J_1$-$J_2$ model ($J_3=0$), formation of two-magnon bound states is observed, which can lead to a quadrupolar (spin-nematic) ordered phase. Exact diagonalization analysis is also applied to the search of bound states.

description: We show that techniques inspired by Kollár and Viehweg's study of weak positivity, combined with vanishing theorems for log-canonical pairs, lead to new consequences regarding generation and vanishing properties for direct images of pluricanonical bundles. We formulate the strongest such results as Fujita conjecture-type statements, which are then shown to govern a range of fundamental properties of direct images of pluricanonical and pluriadjoint line bundles, like effective vanishing theorems, weak positivity, or generic vanishing.

description: The choice of appropriate boundary conditions is a fundamental step in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of the cardiovascular system. Boundary conditions, in fact, highly affect the computed pressure and flow rates, and consequently haemodynamic indicators such as wall shear stress, which are of clinical interest. Devising automated procedures for the selection of boundary conditions is vital to achieve repeatable simulations. However, the most common techniques do not automatically assimilate patient-specific data, relying instead on expensive and time-consuming manual tuning procedures. In this work, we propose a technique for the automated estimation of outlet boundary conditions based on optimal control. The values of resistive boundary conditions are set as control variables and optimized to match available patient-specific data. Experimental results on four aortic arches demonstrate that the proposed framework can assimilate 4D-Flow MRI data more accurately than two other common techniques based on Murray's law and Ohm's law.

description: This study assessed the aflatoxin contamination and the presence of fungi in three maize varieties (Obatanpa, Abontem and Aburohemaa) stored using different storage methods namely storage in hermetic bags, woven polypropylene sacks and local crib in the Nkoranza-South district of the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana. A factorial design arrangement was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The isolation and identification of fungal pathogens associated with maize samples before and after storage were carried out on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Total flatoxin levels in the three maize varieties was determined by the use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 450 nm wavelength. Six fungi species were identified in the maize namely: Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium sp, Fusarium sp., Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Colletotrichum gleosporioides and Rhizopus. Before storage, Abontem variety recorded significantly higher (p < 0.05) total aflatoxin levels (113.56 ppb) compared to Obatanpa (2.91 ppb) and Aburohemaa (2.96 ppb). Maize samples stored in the polypropylene sack established significantly higher (p < 0.05) total aflatoxin levels of 82.9 ppb compared to hermetic bags (48.9 ppb) and local crib (48.9 ppb) after storage for six months. Aflatoxin levels under the interactive effect of variety and storage method was significant (p < 0.05). Overall storage of maize in hermetic bags significantly reduced aflatoxin levels hence the need to encourage maize farmers and traders to adopt hermetic bag storage technology.

description: In this paper, we introduce techniques for animating explosions and their effects. The primary effect of an explosion is a disturbance that causes a shock wave to propagate through the surrounding medium. This disturbance determines the behavior of nearly all other secondary effects seen in explosions. We simulate the propagation of an explosion through the surrounding air using a computational fluid dynamics model based on the equations for compressible, viscous flow. To model the numerically stable formulation of shocks along blast wave fronts, we employ an integration method that can handle steep gradients without introducing inappropriate damping. The system includes two-way coupling between solid objects and surrounding fluid. Using this technique, we can generate a variety of effects including shaped explosive charges, a projectile propelled from a chamber by an explosion, and objects damaged by a blast. With appropriate rendering techniques, our explosion model can be used to create such visual effects such as fireballs, dust clouds, and the refraction of light caused by a blast wave.

description: Cold plasma is a novel non-thermal food processing technology that uses energetic, reactive gases to inactivate contaminating microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. This flexible sanitizing method uses electricity and a carrier gas (air, oxygen, nitrogen, or helium) antimicrobial chemical agents are not required. The primary modes of action are due to UV light and reactive chemical products of the cold plasma ionization process. Aspergillus flavus is the predominant species responsible for fungal contamination and subsequent production of aflatoxins mainly in grains during postharvest operations and storage. Due to their relatively high contamination risk, decontamination methods for fungi are of great interest for economic and environmental reasons, as well as in public health. Improved post-harvest processing followed by further prevention of fungal growth is an effective way to restrict aflatoxin contamination and would have major impact on reducing health related risks and on production economics. Thus, the objective is to evaluate the inactivation of A. flavus by cold plasma. The experiment was conducted with 3 mm sample A. flavus in PDA culture medium. Plasma was applied at different durations (2, 5, 10, 12, 15 and 20 min). After application, the Petri dishes with treated samples were stored at 25°C for 6 days. There was fungal growth after 2 days in the treatments with2 and 5 min durations, 4 days with the treatments with 10 and 12 min durations and there was no fungal growth with the treatments of 15 and 20 min after 6 days. The durationof 15 and 20 min with the plasma parameters tested, were efficient for the inactivation of A. flavus. Cold plasma may be a promising green method to be applied in this microorganisms present in grains and other products during storage.

description: We study a singularly perturbed scalar reaction-diffusion equation on a bounded interval with a spatially inhomogeneous bistable nonlinearity. For certain nonlinearities, which are piecewise constant in space on 푘 subintervals, it is possible to characterize all stationary solutions for small ε by means of sequences of 푘 symbols, indicating the behavior of the solution in each subinterval. Determining also Morse-indices and zero numbers of the equilibria in terms of the symbol sequences, we are able to give a criterion for heteroclinic connections and a description of the associated global attractor for all 푘.

description: It has been argued that the specific star formation rates of star forming galaxies inferred from observational data decline more rapidly below z = 2 than is predicted by hierarchical galaxy formation models. We present a detailed analysis of this problem by comparing predictions from the GALFORM semi-analytic model with an extensive compilation of data on the average star formation rates of star-forming galaxies. We also use this data to infer the form of the stellar mass assembly histories of star forming galaxies. Our analysis reveals that the currently available data favour a scenario where the stellar mass assembly histories of star forming galaxies rise at early times and then fall towards the present day. In contrast, our model predicts stellar mass assembly histories that are almost flat below z = 2 for star forming galaxies, such that the predicted star formation rates can be offset with respect to the observational data by factors of up to 2-3. This disagreement can be explained by the level of coevolution between stellar and halo mass assembly that exists in contemporary galaxy formation models. In turn, this arises because the standard implementations of star formation and supernova feedback used in the models result in the efficiencies of these process remaining approximately constant over the lifetime of a given star forming galaxy. We demonstrate how a modification to the timescale for gas ejected by feedback to be reincorporated into galaxy haloes can help to reconcile the model predictions with the data.

description: Pseudo-scalar particles, often referred to as axion-like-particles (ALPs), arise in a variety of theoretical contexts. The phenomenology of such states is typically studied assuming flavor-conserving interactions, yet they can in principle have flavor-violating (FV) couplings to fermions. We consider this general possibility, focusing on models where the ALP has non-negligible coupling to the Standard Model Higgs boson $h$. For a lepton FV ALP $a$ of mass $m_a \gtrsim 2$ GeV, $a\to τ\ell$, where $\ell\neq τ$ is a charged lepton, could have $\mathcal{O}(1)$ branching fraction, leading to potentially detectable $h \to a a \to τ\ell τ\ell$ at the LHC and its future program. We examine this possibility, in light of existing bounds on FV processes, in a general effective theory. We obtain constraints on the effective couplings from both prompt and long-lifetime searches at the LHC; some projections for envisioned measurements are also provided. The implications of the recently announced first results of the muon $g-2$ measurement at Fermilab for the ALP interactions considered in our work are also briefly discussed.

description: Computer-aid molecular docking is a simulative process that receptors and ligands recognize each other through energy matching and geometric matching. It is widely used in bioactive compounds simulative screening and preliminary exploring the bioactivity and toxicity of molecular, which plays important guiding role in toxicity and bioactivity study of molecular entities. In our study, we used the computer-aid molecular docking software-discovery studio 3.1 client to test the mechanism of aflatoxins such as aflatoxin B1, B2, M1, M2, G1, G2 and the results of our experiment help to illustrate the pathway of aflatoxin’s toxication. We also used this technology to test the preliminary toxicity of zearalenone (ZEN) and its two degradation products: a- zearalenol (a-ZOL) and ß-zearalenol (ß-ZOL), which indicates that these three products possessed significant estrogenic activity. The order of the estrogenic activity is: a-zearalenol > zearalenone >ß-zearalenol.

description: In Brazil beans are an important protein source and the great variety of Phaseolus and Vigna beans grains are sold in retail markets. The objective of this study was to isolate fungi from insects and Phaseolus vulgaris (var. Pinto) from 15 samples of different retail stores in São Paulo. The samples were placed in Petri dishes containing culture medium of potato-dextrose-agar and incubated at 25°C for 7 days. Fungi were identified in several insects: Callosobruchus maculatus (yeasts - 50%), Sitophilus spp. (Chaetomium spp. – 3.1%; Rhizopus stolonifer- 3.1%; Non Sporulating Fungi (NSF) – 12.5% and Eurotium chevalieri - 9.4%, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Penicillium spp. – 18.5% and yeasts – 18.5%) and Zabrotes subfasciatus (Alternaria alternata – 13.6 % and Penicillium spp. – 41 %). No fungi were observed in the parasitoid Dinarmus basalis. In grain samples, the following fungi were found: Penicillium spp. (6%), E. chevalieri (5%), R. stolonifer (0.3%), Aspergillus flavus (3 %), NSF (8 %), Yeasts (2.6%), Phoma spp. (1.6%) and Alternaria alternata (3.6%).

Reverse Reconciliation Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution Based on the Uncertainty Principle

description: A big challenge in continuous variable quantum key distribution is to prove security against arbitrary coherent attacks including realistic assumptions such as finite-size effects. Recently, such a proof has been presented in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 100502 (2012)] for a two-mode squeezed state protocol based on a novel uncertainty relation with quantum memories. But the transmission distances were fairly limited due to a direct reconciliation protocol. We prove here security against coherent attacks of a reverse reconciliation protocol under similar assumptions but allowing distances of over 16 km for experimentally feasible parameters. We further clarify the limitations when using the uncertainty relation with quantum memories in security proofs of continuous variable quantum key distribution.

description: Thermal images reveal medically important physiological information about human stress, signs of inflammation, and emotional mood that cannot be seen on visible images. Providing a method to generate thermal faces from visible images would be highly valuable for the telemedicine community in order to show this medical information. To the best of our knowledge, there are limited works on visible-to-thermal (VT) face translation, and many current works go the opposite direction to generate visible faces from thermal surveillance images (TV) for law enforcement applications. As a result, we introduce favtGAN, a VT GAN which uses the pix2pix image translation model with an auxiliary sensor label prediction network for generating thermal faces from visible images. Since most TV methods are trained on only one data source drawn from one thermal sensor, we combine datasets from faces and cityscapes. These combined data are captured from similar sensors in order to bootstrap the training and transfer learning task, especially valuable because visible-thermal face datasets are limited. Experiments on these combined datasets show that favtGAN demonstrates an increase in SSIM and PSNR scores of generated thermal faces, compared to training on a single face dataset alone.

description: We report measurements of electrical resistivity under pressure to 5.8 GPa, magnetization to 6.7 GPa,and ac susceptibility to 7.1 GPa in KFe2As2. The previously reported change of slope in the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature Tc(p) at a pressure p0=1.8 GPa is confirmed, and Tc(p) is found to be nearly constant above p0 up to 7.1 GPa. The T-p phase diagram is very sensitive to the pressure conditions as a consequence of the anisotropic uniaxial pressure dependence of Tc. Across p0, a change in the behavior of the upper critical field is revealed through a scaling analysis of the slope of Hc2 with the effective mass as determined from the A coefficient of the T2 term of the temperature-dependent resistivity. We show that this scaling provides a quantitative test for the changes of the superconducting gap structure and suggests the development of a kz modulation of the superconducting gap above p0 as a most likely explanation.

description: Entomopathogenic fungi have been investigated to control stored product pests, as an alternative strategy to chemical insecticides. Although many studies evaluated isolates from various sources, few studies surveyed fungi naturally infecting stored product pests, revealing predominantly Beauveria isolates. This study aimed to reveal the amount of Beauveria carried on the surface of stored wheat kernels, and their pathogenicity against Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae adults. Sixteen wheat samples from different storage facilities in four cities were examined for existence of Beauveria. One-hundred g of wheat was washed in 100 mL of 2% Tween80 solution. After increasing concentration of possible fungi by centrifugation, the liquid was spread on medium with dodine and monitored at 25±2°C. Nine of the isolates were tested for pathogenicity at 500 ppm (w/w) at 25±2°C, 65±5% r.h. in darkness with five replicates. While only four samples did not have Beauveria, others had 17-2992 cfu/100 g wheat. Six samples had 17-50, four samples 150-858, one sample 1625 and one had 2992 cfu/100 g wheat. Mortalities against R. dominica adults ranged between 5-86% and 32-100% in 7 and 14 days, respectively. Mortality of S. oryzae ranged from 3-45% and 8-83% in 7 and 14 days, respectively. This study demonstrated that wheat kernels can naturally carry Beauveria with various levels of pathogenicity. Potential naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungi can be isolated directly from stored commodities to be evaluated as biological control agents for stored product pest control.

description: We consider the problem of estimating a signal from measurements obtained via a generalized linear model. We focus on estimators based on approximate message passing (AMP), a family of iterative algorithms with many appealing features: the performance of AMP in the high-dimensional limit can be succinctly characterized under suitable model assumptions; AMP can also be tailored to the empirical distribution of the signal entries, and for a wide class of estimation problems, AMP is conjectured to be optimal among all polynomial-time algorithms. However, a major issue of AMP is that in many models (such as phase retrieval), it requires an initialization correlated with the ground-truth signal and independent from the measurement matrix. Assuming that such an initialization is available is typically not realistic. In this paper, we solve this problem by proposing an AMP algorithm initialized with a spectral estimator. With such an initialization, the standard AMP analysis fails since the spectral estimator depends in a complicated way on the design matrix. Our main contribution is a rigorous characterization of the performance of AMP with spectral initialization in the high-dimensional limit. The key technical idea is to define and analyze a two-phase artificial AMP algorithm that first produces the spectral estimator, and then closely approximates the iterates of the true AMP. We also provide numerical results that demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

description: We introduce a numerical method to integrate the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in spherical coordinates for generic discretization schemes. This method conserves the magnetization modulus and ensures the approach to equilibrium under the expected conditions. We test the algorithm on a benchmark problem: the dynamics of a uniformly magnetized ellipsoid. We investigate the influence of various parameters, and in particular, we analyze the efficiency of the numerical integration, in terms of the number of steps needed to reach a chosen long time with a given accuracy.

description: Hospitality businesses and innovative startups have faced extremely high failure rates. The author provides insights on the factors that impact startup failure in the hospitality industry after performing a deep analysis on innovation frameworks such as the diffusion of innovation theory, the theory of disruptive innovation, and the ten types of innovation framework. Not only that, the author also provides insights based on their own personal experience and knowledge gained through education at the University of Las Vegas, Nevada. The research explored in this paper revealed that startup failure is not based on one factor alone and how leaders in companies can spot various signs early on to save their companies from failing.

description: We develop a non-singular bouncing cosmology using a non-trivial coupling of general relativity to fermionic fields. The usual Big Bang singularity is avoided thanks to a negative energy density contribution from the fermions. Our theory is ghost-free since the fermionic operator that generates the bounce is equivalent to torsion, which has no kinetic terms. The physical system consists of standard general relativity plus a topological sector for gravity, and fermionic matter described by Dirac fields with a non-minimal coupling. We show that a scale invariant power-spectrum generated in the contracting phase can be recovered by suitable choices of fermion number density and bare mass, thus providing a possible alternative to the inflationary scenario.

description: We translate between different formulations of Yangian invariants relevant for the computation of tree-level scattering amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang--Mills theory. While the R-operator formulation allows to relate scattering amplitudes to structures well known from integrability, it can equally well be connected to the permutations encoded by on-shell graphs.

description: It is well known that carefully crafted imperceptible perturbations can cause state-of-the-art deep learning classification models to misclassify. Understanding and analyzing these adversarial perturbations play a crucial role in the design of robust convolutional neural networks. However, their mechanics are not well understood. In this work, we attempt to understand the mechanics by systematically answering the following question: do imperceptible adversarial perturbations focus on changing the regions of the image that are important for classification? In other words, are imperceptible adversarial perturbations semantically explainable? Most current methods use $l_p$ distance to generate and characterize the imperceptibility of the adversarial perturbations. However, since $l_p$ distances only measure the pixel to pixel distances and do not consider the structure in the image, these methods do not provide a satisfactory answer to the above question. To address this issue, we propose a novel framework for generating adversarial perturbations by explicitly incorporating a "perceptual quality ball" constraint in our formulation. Specifically, we pose the adversarial example generation problem as a tractable convex optimization problem, with constraints taken from a mathematically amenable variant of the popular SSIM index. We use the MobileNetV2 network trained on the ImageNet dataset for our experiments. By comparing the SSIM maps generated by our method with class activation maps, we show that the perceptually guided perturbations introduce changes specifically in the regions that contribute to classification decisions i.e., these perturbations are semantically explainable.
