description: We focus on a fundamental task of detecting meaningful line structures, a.k.a. semantic line, in natural scenes. Many previous methods regard this problem as a special case of object detection and adjust existing object detectors for semantic line detection. However, these methods neglect the inherent characteristics of lines, leading to sub-optimal performance. Lines enjoy much simpler geometric property than complex objects and thus can be compactly parameterized by a few arguments. To better exploit the property of lines, in this paper, we incorporate the classical Hough transform technique into deeply learned representations and propose a one-shot end-to-end learning framework for line detection. By parameterizing lines with slopes and biases, we perform Hough transform to translate deep representations into the parametric domain, in which we perform line detection. Specifically, we aggregate features along candidate lines on the feature map plane and then assign the aggregated features to corresponding locations in the parametric domain. Consequently, the problem of detecting semantic lines in the spatial domain is transformed into spotting individual points in the parametric domain, making the post-processing steps, i.e. non-maximal suppression, more efficient. Furthermore, our method makes it easy to extract contextual line features eg features along lines close to a specific line, that are critical for accurate line detection. In addition to the proposed method, we design an evaluation metric to assess the quality of line detection and construct a large scale dataset for the line detection task. Experimental results on our proposed dataset and another public dataset demonstrate the advantages of our method over previous state-of-the-art alternatives.

description: Quantum Weak Energy Inequalities (QWEIs) have been established for a variety of quantum field theories in both flat and curved spacetimes. Dirac fields are known (by a result of Fewster and Verch) to satisfy QWEIs under very general circumstances. However this result does not provide an explicit formula for the QWEI bound, so its magnitude has not previously been determined. In this paper we present a new and explicit QWEI bound for Dirac fields of arbitrary mass in four-dimensional Minkowski space. We follow the methods employed by Fewster and Eveson for the scalar field, modified to take account of anticommutation relations. A key ingredient is an identity for Fourier transforms established by Fewster and Verch. We also compare our QWEI with those previously obtained for scalar and spin-1 fields.

description: Undular bores, or dispersive shock waves, are non-stationary waves propagating as oscillatory transitions between two basic states, in which the oscillatory structure gradually expands and grows in amplitude with distance travelled. We demonstrate for the first time, using high-speed pointwise photoelasticity, the generation of undular bores in solid (polymethylmethacrylate) pre-strained bars by natural and induced tensile fracture. For the distances relevant to our experiments, the viscoelastic extended Korteweg - de Vries (veKdV) equation is shown to provide very good agreement with the key observed experimental features for suitable choice of material parameters, while some local features at the front of the bore are also captured reasonably well by the linearisation near the nonzero pre-strain level. The experimental and theoretical approaches presented open new avenues and analytical tools for the study and application of dispersive shock waves in solids.

description: Spatial distributions of energy deposited by an extensive air shower in the atmosphere through ionization, as obtained from the CORSIKA simulation program, are used to find the fluorescence light distribution in the optical image of the shower. The shower image derived in this way is somewhat smaller than that obtained from the NKG lateral distribution of particles in the shower. The size of the image shows a small dependence on the primary particle type.

description: It is pointed out that there is a strong correlation between the neutralino dark matter scattering cross section $σ_{\tildeχ p}$ and the branching ratio for $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ within minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) and its extensions. This correlation arises mainly from $\tanβ$ and heavy neutral Higgs mass dependence, and shows a nice interplay between vastly different two observables within supersymmetric models. Current upper limit on $B(B_s \to μ^+ μ^-) < 5.8 \times 10^{-7}$ excludes substantial parameter space where $σ_{\tildeχ p}$ is within the CDMS sensitivity region.

description: This paper aims to explore the quasinormal modes (QNMs) and effective potential profiles of massless and rotating BTZ black holes within the frameworks of $f(\mathcal{R})$ and Ricci-Inverse ($\mathcal{RI}$) modified gravity theories, which, while producing similar space-time structures, exhibit variations due to distinct cosmological constants, $Λ_m$. We derive wave equations for these black hole perturbations and analyze the behavior of the effective potential $V_{\text{eff}}(r)$ under different values of mass $m$, cosmological constant $Λ_m$, and modified gravity parameters $α_1$, $α_2$, $β_1$, $β_2$, and $γ$. The findings indicate that increasing mass and parameter values results in a raised potential barrier, implying stronger confinement of perturbations and impacting black hole stability. Incorporating the generalized uncertainty principle, we also study its effect on the thermodynamics of rotating BTZ black holes, demonstrating how GUP modifies black hole radiation, potentially observable in QNM decay rates. Additionally, we investigate the motion of particles through null and timelike geodesics in static BTZ space-time, observing asymptotic behaviors for null geodesics and parameter-dependent shifts in potential for timelike paths. The study concludes that modified gravity parameters significantly influence QNM frequencies and effective potential profiles, offering insights into black hole stability and suggesting that these theoretical predictions may be tested through gravitational wave observations.

description: We study the extension of a phenomenologically successful quasiparticle model that describes lattice results of the equation of state of the deconfined phase of QCD for Tc <= T < 4 Tc, to finite quark chemical potential mu. The phase boundary line Tc(mu), the pressure difference (p(T,mu)-p(T,mu=0))/T^4 and the quark number density nq(T,mu)/T^3 are calculated and compared to recent lattice results. Good agreement is found up to quark chemical potentials of order mu = Tc.

description: Following a series of similar calculations in simpler non-conformal holographic setups, we determine the quasinormal mode spectrum for an operator dual to a gauge-invariant scalar field within the Improved Holographic QCD framework. At temperatures somewhat above the critical temperature of the deconfinement transition, we find a small number of clearly separated modes followed by a branch-cut-like structure parallel to the real axis, the presence of which is linked to the form of the IHQCD potential employed. The temperature dependence of the lowest nonzero mode is furthermore used to study the thermalization time of the corresponding correlator, which is found to be of the order of the inverse critical temperature near the phase transition and decrease slightly faster than $1/T$ at higher temperatures.

 Hylaeus (Lambdopsis) tephronotus (WARNCKE, 1992) – ITIS (2020).
 Remarks: H. tephronotus is still exclusively known only from the nine females of the original type series; the male is unknown. The epithet is derived from τέφρα (Greek) and means “ash grey back”, as for example are back and wing covers of the Persian Nuthatch (Sitta tephronota). The bee species in question is completely black. (Of course, scientific names do not necessarily have to agree with the facts.) Hylaeus tephronotus is clearly smaller than H. dilatatus, and resembles H. pfankuchi not only because of missing side spots. Different appears to be the clear dense fine punctation of the metasomal terga. A peculiarity is the strikingly long bristles on the lower part of the clypeus. H. tephronotus has been recorded as a mountain species from few sites (Hakkâri, 1700–3000 m), flying early in August. It is apparently a species of limited distribution, found only in Turkey. It is rarely recorded in Turkey (1 province, Fig. 17.8).
 Distribution: Turkey: Hakkâri.

description: There are two construction methods of designs from $(n,m)$-bent functions, known as translation and addition designs. In this paper we analyze, which equivalence relation for Boolean bent functions, i.e. $(n,1)$-bent functions, and vectorial bent functions, i.e. $(n,m)$-bent functions with $2\le m\le n/2$, is coarser: extended-affine equivalence or isomorphism of associated translation and addition designs. First, we observe that similar to the Boolean bent functions, extended-affine equivalence of vectorial $(n,m)$-bent functions and isomorphism of addition designs are the same concepts for all even $n$ and $m\le n/2$. Further, we show that extended-affine inequivalent Boolean bent functions in $n$ variables, whose translation designs are isomorphic, exist for all $n\ge6$. This implies, that isomorphism of translation designs for Boolean bent functions is a coarser equivalence relation than extended-affine equivalence. However, we do not observe the same phenomenon for vectorial bent functions in a small number of variables. We classify and enumerate all vectorial bent functions in six variables and show, that in contrast to the Boolean case, one cannot exhibit isomorphic translation designs from extended-affine inequivalent vectorial $(6,m)$-bent functions with $m\in\{ 2,3 \}$.

description: We report on spectral and temporal results of the 40-700 keV observations, obtained with the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) on board BeppoSAX, of the two large flares from the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater SGR1900+14 occurred on August 27, 1998 and April 18, 2001. From their intensity, fluence and duration, the first one was classified as "giant" and the second as "intermediate". The spectral results have been obtained with an improved response function of the GRBM. We find that the two events have similar spectral properties, but different temporal properties. The major difference concerns the time profiles of the light curves, whereas the lack of evidence in the 2001 flare for the erratic time variability found at high frequencies (10-1000 Hz) in the 1998 flare could be ascribed to lower counting statistics. We discuss these results in the light of the magnetar model proposed for SGR sources.

description: We calculate the complete quark and gluon cusp anomalous dimensions in four-loop massless QCD analytically from first principles. In addition, we determine the complete matter dependence of the quark and gluon collinear anomalous dimensions. Our approach is to Laurent expand four-loop quark and gluon form factors in the parameter of dimensional regularization. We employ finite field and syzygy techniques to reduce the relevant Feynman integrals to a basis of finite integrals, and subsequently evaluate the basis integrals directly from their standard parametric representations.

description: This study has examined the extent of diversification in the crop sector of Bangladesh using the Simpson Index of diversity. Results show that the extent of crop diversification has increased in the country slowly over time. Meanwhile, the value of specialization index in rice cultivation has slowly declined. The diversification in crop sector was accompanied by diversity in the pattern of consumption of the people. The extent of crop diversification was promoted mainly through a steady increase in the intensity of cropping. This can be further enhanced with the introduction of new production technologies for secondary crops. There is also a need to expand the horizon of appropriate processing techniques and value addition facilities for promoting the pace of diversification of consumption in the country.

The obtained branching fraction is Br(B+ -> psi(3770) K+)=(0.48+-0.11+-0.07)x10^{-3}. We have measured the branching fraction for the decay B+ -> D0D0-bar K+ to be (1.17+-0.21+-0.15)x10^{-3}. We have set a 90% confidence level upper limit of 0.90x10^{-3} for the decay B+ -> D+D-K+. We also present the results of a search for possible decays to DD-bar and D0D0-bar pi0 of the recently observed X(3872) particle. The analysis is based on 88 fb^{-1} of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.

Macroeconometric evaluation of Indian trade policy: Structural sensitivity, stochastic dynamics and nonlinear optimal control
Creators: name: Varma, Sona
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 38
subject: Economics

description: This dissertation investigates the effects of policy reform on the Indian trade sector over the period 1970 to 1985. The model used in this study is a multisectoral model that specifies the trade, monetary, and output sectors of the Indian economy. The model is estimated using limited and full information methods. Simulation and optimal control are used for policy analysis. India faced a severe economic crisis in 1990/91. Foreign exchange reserves were depleted. Fiscal deficit and federal debt levels were at record high. Most macroeconomic indicators pointed to an economy on the brink of collapse. The Government of India obtained several short and medium-term loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to alleviate the crisis. The Government also implemented a series of policy measures to stabilize and restructure the economy. These included reforms in the trade sector, efforts to contain the fiscal deficit, and tight credit policies to reduce inflation. There is considerable controversy among Indian economists regarding the impact of these policy changes on long term economic performance. This study examines the effects of policy reform on the Indian trade sector, its repercussions on the domestic economy, and the welfare costs associated with such policies in restoring stability and future economic growth. Simulation and control theory are now well established in the economics profession. Simulation is used to examine the effects of exchange rate, monetary, and fiscal policy changes on various sectors of the economy. Control techniques are used to obtain optimal policies given economic targets, quantify the tradeoffs between alternative policy choices, and evaluate the welfare costs associated with various policy regimes. The study concludes that trade policy reform has significant and enduring effects on the monetary and output sectors. It also establishes the use of control theory in providing guidelines for policy formulation using the concept of welfare maximization.

 Hylaeus (Paraprosopis) decaocto (WARNCKE, 1992) – comb. nov.
 Remarks: In H. decaocto, the yellow markings of the head (Fig. 12a,e) are amazingly similar to those of H. xanthopoda, but on the mesosoma, also scutellum and postscutellum are yellow. In contrast to H. xanthopoda, the integument of H. decaocto has distinct and very dense punctation, and the propodeum is rounded and without ridges. DATHE (2010) described the male and two females as H. (Paraprosopis) socheri from Iran, Province Yazd, at 2600–2900 m altitude.
The name “decaocta” (Greek δεκαοκτώ = eighteen) was coined without obvious relation to characters of this species: six yellow spots are present on the head, seven on the thorax, for example. As can be seen from the habitual usage of the author, Warncke explicitly applied this Greek numeral as latinized feminine adjective. According to the Latin grammar, numbers are adjectives which are dependent on the noun in declination and gender, so that Art. 31.2. of the ICZN applies.
 H. decaocto was described on the basis of one female each from Hakkâri (1650 m, holotype) and Konya (1800 m). Since these sites are far away from each other, a wider distribution can be assumed, but possibly limited to the high mountain ranges. It is rarely collected in Turkey (2 provinces, Fig. 17. VI).
 Distribution: Turkey: Hakkâri, Konya. Iran: Yazd province.

description: We elaborate on statistical thermodynamics models of relativistic geometric flows as generalisations of G. Perelman and R. Hamilton theory centred around C. Carathéodory axiomatic approach to thermodynamics with Pfaffian differential equations. The anholonomic frame deformation method, AFDM, for constructing generic off--diagonal and locally anisotropic cosmological solitonic solutions in the theory of relativistic geometric flows and general relativity is developed. We conclude that such solutions can not be described in terms of the Hawking--Bekenstein thermodynamics for hypersurface, holographic, (anti) de Sitter and similar configurations. The geometric thermodynamic values are defined and computed for nonholonomic Ricci flows, (modified) Einstein equations, and new classes of locally anisotropic cosmological solutions encoding solitonic hierarchies.

description: Purpose of this work is the development of an automatic system which could be useful for radiologists in the investigation of breast cancer. A breast neoplasia is often marked by the presence of microcalcifications and massive lesions in the mammogram: hence the need for tools able to recognize such lesions at an early stage. GPCALMA (Grid Platform Computer Assisted Library for MAmmography), a collaboration among italian physicists and radiologists, has built a large distributed database of digitized mammographic images (at this moment about 5500 images corresponding to 1650 patients). This collaboration has developed a CAD (Computer Aided Detection) system which, installed in an integrated station, can also be used for digitization, as archive and to perform statistical analysis. With a GRID configuration it would be possible for the clinicians tele- and co-working in new and innovative groupings ('virtual organisations') and, using the whole database, by the GPCALMA tools several analysis can be performed. Furthermore the GPCALMA system allows to be abreast of the CAD technical progressing into several hospital locations always with remote working by GRID connection. We report in this work the results obtained by the GPCALMA CAD software implemented with a GRID connection.

description: This story maps explores the history of the Mexica people, beginning with their journey to the foundation of Tenochtitlan in 1325, which would become (alongside its neighbour city to the north, Tlatelolco) the heart of the Triple Alliance. Following this, the story map shows how the Mexica began to expand, featuring the lists of conquered settlements as recorded in the Codex Mendoza. This leads up to the arrival of the Spanish, and the ultimate meeting of Moctezuma II and Hernán Cortés in 1519. It then proceeds to describe how Cortés, with considerable assistance from his indigenous allies, conquered Tenochtitlan. This story map concludes with a look at the beginning of the colonial era, exploring how the Spanish began to impose their own institutions across ‘New Spain’, with varying success due to the continuing influence of indigenous institutions across Mesoamerica.

description: We discuss the stabilization of the scalar sector, including the radion, in the gauge model with one universal extra dimension, within Higgs and Higgsless scenarios. The stabilization occurs at the one-loop level, through the fermionic contribution to the effective potential; in the Higgs case, for stabilization to take place the bosonic contribution must be balanced by the fermionic one, hence the scales of these two cannot differ too much. However, there is no need for (softly broken) supersymmetry to achieve the stabilization - it can be arranged for a reasonably wide range of couplings and mass scales. The primary instability in the model is the run-away of the radion vacuum expectation value. It turns out that the requirement of the radion stability, in the Higgs case, favours a Higgs boson mass below 0.26 TeV, which is consistent with the Standard Model upper bound that follows from the electroweak precision measurements. The typical radion mass is of the order of 10^{-6} eV. The radion mass can be made larger by rising the scale of fermion masses, as clearly seen in the Higgsless case. The cosmological constant may be cancelled by suitable counterterms, in such a way that the stabilization is not affected.

description: In this paper, we introduce DiQP; a novel Transformer-Diffusion model for restoring 8K video quality degraded by codec compression. To the best of our knowledge, our model is the first to consider restoring the artifacts introduced by various codecs (AV1, HEVC) by Denoising Diffusion without considering additional noise. This approach allows us to model the complex, non-Gaussian nature of compression artifacts, effectively learning to reverse the degradation. Our architecture combines the power of Transformers to capture long-range dependencies with an enhanced windowed mechanism that preserves spatiotemporal context within groups of pixels across frames. To further enhance restoration, the model incorporates auxiliary "Look Ahead" and "Look Around" modules, providing both future and surrounding frame information to aid in reconstructing fine details and enhancing overall visual quality. Extensive experiments on different datasets demonstrate that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods, particularly for high-resolution videos such as 4K and 8K, showcasing its effectiveness in restoring perceptually pleasing videos from highly compressed sources.

description: We connect nuclear forces to one of the most notable irregular behaviors observed in pulsars, already detected in approximately 6\% known pulsars, with increasingly accurate data expected from upcoming high-precision timing instruments on both ground and space. Built on Shang & Li (2021), we conduct a case study on the 2001 glitch of the Vela pulsar. For our purpose, we adopt the Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) model as the theoretical many-body framework to describe nuclear systems. We refit three representative RMF parameter sets (DD-ME2, PKDD, NL3), considering the uncertainties in nuclear matter saturation properties. Utilizing the resulting star structure, composition and nucleon properties in the medium obtained in a consistent manner, we calculate the pinning energy of superfluid vortex in the nuclear lattice in the inner crust. This leads to the evolution of associated pinning force that acts on the vortex, which can be confronted with observed glitch amplitude and short-time relaxation in the 2000 Vela glitch event, following the snowplow model of pulsar glitch. We discuss how the vortex configuration and pinning properties depend on the nuclear parameters, and find an interesting and dominant role of the nuclear symmetry energy slope on pinning strength.

description: An experiment was conducted to study the effects of planting date and bulb size on the yield and economics of onion production from sets at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from August 2002 to March 2003. There were six planting dates, viz. September 3, September 12, October 8, October 21, October 30 and November 7 and three bulb sizes viz, large, medium and small. The planting dates had significant effect on all the yield components and yield of onion. The October 21 planting gave the highest yield of bulbs (19.78 t/ha) and November 7 planting the lowest (12.7 t/ha). Bulb size also showed significant influence on the yield of bulb. Maximum (19.74 t/ha) and minimum (15.41 t/ha) yields were obtained from large and small bulbs, respectively. Both the interaction and the combined effects were significant. The highest bulb yield (24.67 t/ha) was recorded from the combination of October 21 planting and small bulb. The highest gross income (Tk 197336/ha) was obtained from this treatment combination, but the net return as well as the benefit cost ratio (2.02) was the highest in the treatment of September 12 planting x small bulb.

description: This paper assessed the relationship between farm size and productivity performance in Brazilian Amazon. We built two productivity indicators: technical efficiency and land use efficiency. We used Stochastic Frontier Analysis and 2006 agricultural census data to derive the efficiency measures and to assess their relationship with farm size. Results pointed out that the average Amazonian farm is productivity inefficient. The average farm could increase its agricultural production in 35.3% using the current amount of inputs. For land use efficiency, results indicate that farmers could reduce agricultural land in 90% and produce the same output using the current amount of labor and capital. Our measures of productivity presented a nonlinear relationship with farm size. However, both relations possess a similar turning point around 16,500 hectares. For policy analyses purposes, the actual relationship between farm size and productive efficiency is negative, as the turning points are far above the average farm-size in the region.

description: Like some developing countries, Ethiopia, with the help of Oxfam public campaign, managed to obtain trademark protection of many western countries for three of its fine coffees: Yirgachefe, Harar and Sidama coffee types. The main goal of the trademarking initiative was to help smallholder producers capture price premia for their fine coffee. This paper examines the effects of the trademark protection on FOB and producer prices of trademarked coffee by comparing with non-trademarked Ethiopian coffee. We found that trademark protection has improved both the level and trend of FOB prices relative to the non-trademarked Ethiopian coffee. But producer farmers capture only small portion of this price premia. In addition, we also found the trademark protection is not compatible with the exclusive impersonlized and non-traceable transactions system introduced by Ethiopian Commodity Exchange.

Spectroscopic LSJ notation for atomic levels obtained from relativistic calculations

description: Today, relativistic calculations are known to provide a very successful means in the study of open-shell atoms and ions. But although accurate atomic data are obtained from these computations, they are traditionally carried out in jj-coupling and, hence, do often not allow for a simple LSJ classification of the atomic levels as needed by experiment. In fact, this lack of providing a proper spectroscopic notation from relativistic structure calculations has recently hampered not only the spectroscopy of medium and heavy elements, but also the interpretation and analysis of inner-shell processes, for which the occurrence of additional vacancies usually leads to a very detailed fine structure. Therefore, in order to facilitate the classification of atomic levels from such computations, here we present a program (within the Ratip environment) which help transform the atomic wave functions from jj-coupled multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock computations into a LS-coupled representation. Beside of a proper LSJ assignment to the atomic levels, the program also supports the full transformation of the wave functions if required for (nonrelativistic) computations.
