description: In world, annually 2 - millions and in every 15 seconds one person in work relatedaccidents and illness are killed. Mining is the 2nd largest industry in terms of mortalityin the world. The worst consequence of their risks is early death of work force. Thoughmining industry in the world, every year produces billions tons of coal and rawmaterials worth billions of dollars, and provides job for millions of people around theworld, but every year 1000's of people in the world in mining industry are killed &injured. Although mine accidents in certain part of mining industries in the world aredeclining, but risks & accidents in the mining industries are still important; as itinvolves not only direct & indirect (4 times direct) cost but also lowers morale of theemployees which is difficult to quantify, but can be seen on poor performance andreduced productivity and increased cost of production.According to hazardous nature of work in the mines, it is clear that the injuries of workrelated accidents in the mines are high; but a lot of work related accidents can beavoided in future. Similarly impact of other operational, technological, financial,socio- political, environmental, etc. risks have adverse effect on performance andsustainability of the organisation which if not managed/mitigated timely will surelylead to collapse of the organisation.

description: With the growing integration of location based services (LBS) such as GPS in mobile devices, indoor position systems (IPS) have become an important role for research. There are several IPS methods such as AOA, TOA, TDOA, which use trilateration for indoor location estimation but are generally based on line-of-sight. Other methods rely on classification such as fingerprinting which uses WLAN indoor signals. This paper re-examines the classical WLAN fingerprinting accuracy which uses received signal strength (RSS) measurements by introducing channel estimates for improvements in the classification of indoor locations. The purpose of this paper is to improve existing classification algorithms used in fingerprinting by introducing channel estimates when there are a low number of APs available. The channel impulse response, or in this case the channel estimation from the receiver, should characterize a complex indoor area which usually has multipath, thus providing a unique signature for each location which proves useful for better pattern recognition. In this experiment, channel estimates are extracted from a Software-Defined Radio (SDR) environment, thus exploiting the benefits of SDR from a NI-USRP model and LabVIEW software. Measurements are taken from a known building, and several scenarios with one and two access points (APs) are used in this experiment. Also, three granularities in distance between locations are analyzed. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used as the algorithm for pattern recognition of different locations based on the samples taken from RSS and channel estimation coefficients.

description: This study analyzes the relationship between export market structure and the pricing behavior of U.S. grain exporting firms. A generalized theoretical model that specifies the Lerner index as a function of the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, market specific own-price elasticities of demand, and other market structure and control variables is used. The hypotheses proposed in the study are tested by OLS regression analysis using pooled cross-sectional, time series data sets for U.S. wheat and corn exports. Strong evidence suggesting that market structure does affect the pricing behavior of U.S. wheat exporting firms was found. Specifically, where export concentration is high, demand is strong, or foreign buyers have less market power, the markup on export price over domestic price is higher. Weaker evidence of systematic export price discrimination was found for corn.

description: We have studied the deterministic dynamics of underdamped single and multiparticle ratchets associated with current reversal, as a function of the amplitude of the external driving force. Two experimentally inspired methods are used. In the first method the same initial condition is used for each new value of the amplitude. In the second method the last position and velocity is used as the new initial condition when the amplitude is changed. The two methods are found to be complementary for control of current reversal, because the first one elucidates the existence of different attractors and gives information about their basins of attraction, while the second method, although history dependent, shows the locking process. We show that control of current reversals in deterministic intertia ratchets is possible as a consequence of a locking process associated with different mean velocity attractors. An unlocking efect is produced when a chaos to order transition limits the control range.

description: Various Seq2Seq learning models designed for machine translation were applied for abstractive summarization task recently. Despite these models provide high ROUGE scores, they are limited to generate comprehensive summaries with a high level of abstraction due to its degenerated attention distribution. We introduce Diverse Convolutional Seq2Seq Model(DivCNN Seq2Seq) using Determinantal Point Processes methods(Micro DPPs and Macro DPPs) to produce attention distribution considering both quality and diversity. Without breaking the end to end architecture, DivCNN Seq2Seq achieves a higher level of comprehensiveness compared to vanilla models and strong baselines. All the reproducible codes and datasets are available online.

description: This paper analyzes determinants of intra-industry trade in food processing for a thirty country sample over the period 1964-1985. Previous studies have tested the hypothesis that imperfect competition is a major determinant of intra-industry trade (UT) in the durable goods manufacturing sectors. This study is distinguished. from the earlier studies of ITT by; the examination of the processed food sector (SIC=20), the use of a panel data set for 22 years and 30 countries available at the four digit SIC level, the use of purchasing power parity measures of GDP, and the use of a weighted tobit model with fixed effects to account for the censored cross-section time-series nature of the data. The results indicate that such trade is a positive function of a county's GDP per capita and equality of GDP per capita between countries. In addition, it is also found that a large proportion of this trade is between countries that share common borders and between countries within the European Community.

The results of the analysis indicate that IIT variation across these industries is positively related to U.S. total trade, similarity of tariff barriers, and economies of scope, but negatively related to industry concentration.

description: If Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) are originated from nearby galaxies, modeling of the distribution of nearby galaxies is important to an accurate estimate the source number density of UHECRs. We investigate uncertainty of the selection function of the Optical Redshift Survey (ORS), which we used to construct a source model of UHECRs. The investigation is based on a comparison of numbe counts of ORS galaxies with those of the spectroscopic sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Early Data Release (EDR). We carefully count galaxies in the same absolute magnitude bin from the two samples. We find a slight systematic overestimate of the ORS counts outside 5000 km s$^{-1}$ by about a factor of 2. We revise the selection function of the ORS assuming that the SDSS counts are correct. Our revision is based on the absorption given in the ORS catalog as well as that computed from Schlegel et al. (1998), which is systematically larger than the former by $A_B \sim 0.1$ mag in the region of low absorption. It is found that introduction of Schlegel et al.'s absorption changes one of the parameters of the ORS selection function by more than 10%. The revision should be taken into account in the future analysis of the source number density of UHECRs based on the ORS. Using the revised selection function, we determine the global structure of the Local Supercluster (LSC) with a source model of UHECRs, that is, a number-density model consisting of a uniform spherical halo and an exponential disk. We find that the revision is insignificant in terms of the structure of the LSC. However, the revised selection function will be useful to other studies such as peculiar velocity and correlation function.

description: Models of local adaptation to spatially varying selection predict that maximum rates of evolution are determined by the interaction between increased adaptive potential due to increased genetic variation, and the cost genetic variation brings by reducing population fitness. We discuss existing and new results from our laboratory assays and field transplants of rainforest Drosophila and UK butterflies along environmental gradients, which try to test these predictions in natural populations. Our data suggest that: (i) Local adaptation along ecological gradients is not consistently observed in time and space, especially where biotic and abiotic interactions both affect gradient steepness and genetic variation in fitness; (ii) Genetic variation in fitness observed in the laboratory is only sometimes visible to selection in the field, suggesting that demographic costs can remain high without increasing adaptive potential; (iii) Antagonistic interactions between species reduce local productivity, especially at ecological margins. This steepens gradients and may increase the cost of adaptation by increasing its dimensionality. However, where biotic interactions do evolve, rapid range expansion can follow. Future research should test how the environmental sensitivity of genotypes determines their ecological exposure, and its effects on genetic variation in fitness, to predict the probability of evolutionary rescue at ecological margins.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Species’ ranges in the face of changing environments (Part II)’.

description: Results of experiments on the dynamics and kinetic roughening of one-dimensional slow-combustion fronts in three grades of paper are reported. Extensive averaging of the data allows a detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal development of the interface fluctuations. The asymptotic scaling properties, on long length and time scales, are well described by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation with short-range, uncorrelated noise. To obtain a more detailed picture of the strong-coupling fixed point, characteristic of the KPZ universality class, universal amplitude ratios, and the universal coupling constant are computed from the data and found to be in good agreement with theory. Below the spatial and temporal scales at which a cross-over takes place to the standard KPZ behavior, the fronts display higher apparent exponents and apparent multiscaling. In this regime the interface velocities are spatially and temporally correlated, and the distribution of the magnitudes of the effective noise has a power-law tail. The relation of the observed short-range behavior and the noise as determined from the local velocity fluctuations is discussed.

Le système agro-alimentaire doit nécessairement fonctionner au service de ceux qui en ont le plus besoin, c’est-à-dire ceux-là même qu’il marginalise et maltraite : les petits paysans, les femmes et leurs enfants. Le système international de production alimentaire et d’échanges commerciaux sur de longues distances est régulièrement pointé du doigt. Concernant le surpoids et l’obésité, l’aval de la chaîne alimentaire est décrié : les produits industriels seraient trop riches en graisse, sucre et sel, mais trop pauvres en nutriments essentiels pour notre santé. Pour la faim et l’insécurité alimentaire, c’est l’amont de la chaîne qui pose le plus problème. En effet, les politiques mondiales agricoles successives ont réduit les produits de rente à des « commodités » ou des « denrées de base », au même titre que n’importe quel autre bien. Ceci a eu des impacts dévastateurs sur la recrue d’essence des conflits, l’accélération du changement climatique, et l'appauvrissement des économie dépendantes des exportations agricoles de base.

description: In the present effort we consider the most general non linear particle kinetics within the framework of the Fokker-Planck picture. We show that the kinetics imposes the form of the generalized entropy and subsequently we demonstrate the H-theorem. The particle statistical distribution is obtained, both as stationary solution of the non linear evolution equation and as the state which maximizes the generalized entropy. The present approach allows to treat the statistical distributions already known in the literature in a unifying scheme. As a working example we consider the kinetics, constructed by using the $κ$-exponential $\exp_{_{\{κ\}}}(x)= (\sqrt{1+κ^2x^2}+κx)^{1/κ}$ recently proposed which reduces to the standard exponential as the deformation parameter $κ$ approaches to zero and presents the relevant power law asymptotic behaviour $\exp_{_{\{κ\}}}(x){\atop\stackrel\sim x\to \pm \infty}|2κx|^{\pm 1/|κ|}$. The $κ$-kinetics obeys the H-theorem and in the case of Brownian particles, admits as stationary state the distribution $f=Z^{-1}\exp_{_{\{κ\}}}[-(βmv^2/2-μ)]$ which can be obtained also by maximizing the entropy $S_κ=\int d^n v [ c(κ)f^{1+κ}+c(-κ)f^{1-κ}]$ with $c(κ)=-Z^κ/ [2κ(1+κ)]$ after properly constrained.

description: This is the manual of the specialized event generator TopReX 3.25. The generator provides the simulation of several important processes in pp and p pbar collisions, not implemented in PYTHIA (yet). Some of these processes include t-quarks whose spin polarizations are taken into account in the subsequent decay of the t-quarks. Several non-SM top quark decay channels are included, too. All calculated subprocesses can be accessed from PYTHIA as external processes. In addition, TopReX can be used as stand alone event generator, providing partonic final states before showering. In this mode the control of the event generation is taken by TopReX itself. A few simple examples of main routines, which show how to use TopReX in the different modes are discussed.

description: Majorana bound states are zero-energy excitations of topological superconductors which obey non-Abelian exchange statistics and are basic building blocks for topological quantum computation. In order to observe and exploit their extraordinary properties, we need to be able to properly manipulate them, for instance, by braiding a couple of them in real space. We propose a setup based on the helical edges of two-dimensional topological insulators (2DTI) which allows for a high degree of tunability by only controlling a handful of superconducting phases. In particular, our setup allows to move the Majoranas along a single edge as well as to move them across two different edges coupled by a quantum point contact. Robustness against non-optimal control of the phases is also discussed. This proposal constitutes an essential step forward towards realizing 2DTI-based architectures capable of performing braiding of Majoranas in a feasible way.

Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: This paper provides an overview of the debate on U.S. competitiveness which has fostered a growing and disparate literature. The overview is not intended as a comprehensive literature review but rather to define what the competitiveness problem is and identify the principal causes of the U.S.'s supposed deteriorating competitiveness. The basic issue is the U.S.'s decline in relative productivity growth. It is argued that low investment due to low savings rates in the U.S. and the growing strength of other countries' R&D sectors are the most convincing explanations of this competitiveness problem. Recognition of the true source of the problem is important for policy: attempts to deal with the problem by using trade policies (particularly against Japan) will not correct the underlying competitive weakness of the U.S. economy.
Equation of state and opacities for hydrogen atmospheres of neutron stars with strong magnetic fields

description: We present an equation of state and radiative opacities for a strongly magnetized hydrogen plasma at magnetic fields B, temperatures T, and densities ρtypical for atmospheres of isolated neutron stars. The first- and second-order thermodynamic functions, monochromatic radiative opacities, and Rosseland mean opacities are calculated and tabulated, taking account of partial ionization, for 8x10^{11} G < B < 3x10^{13} G, 2x10^5 K < T < 10^7 K, and a wide range of ρ. We show that bound-bound and bound-free transitions give an important contribution to the opacities at T < (1-5)x10^6 K in the considered range of B in the outer neutron-star atmosphere layers, which may substantially modify the X-ray spectrum of a typical magnetized neutron star. In addition, we re-evaluate opacities due to free-free transitions, taking into account the motion of both interacting particles, electron and proton, in a strong magnetic field. Compared to the previous neutron-star atmosphere models, the free-free absorption is strongly suppressed at photon frequencies below the proton cyclotron frequency. The latter result holds for any field strength, which prompts a revision of existing theoretical models of X-ray spectra of magnetar atmospheres. Note added in v4: for free-free photoabsorption (Appendix B), equivalent but much simpler expressions are available in Appendix B of Potekhin & Lai, arXiv:astro-ph/0701285.

description: In animal gonads, the PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway guards genome integrity in part through the co-transcriptional gene silencing of transposon insertions. In Drosophila ovaries, piRNA-loaded Piwi detects nascent transposon transcripts and instructs heterochromatin formation through the Panoramix-induced co-transcriptional silencing (PICTS) complex, containing Panoramix, Nxf2 and Nxt1. Here, we report that the highly conserved dynein light chain LC8/Cut-up (Ctp) is an essential component of the PICTS complex. Loss of Ctp results in transposon de-repression and a reduction in repressive chromatin marks specifically at transposon loci. In turn, Ctp can enforce transcriptional silencing when artificially recruited to RNA and DNA reporters. We show that Ctp drives dimerisation of the PICTS complex through its interaction with conserved motifs within Panoramix. Artificial dimerisation of Panoramix bypasses the necessity for its interaction with Ctp, demonstrating that conscription of a protein from a ubiquitous cellular machinery has fulfilled a fundamental requirement for a transposon silencing complex.

description: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects cells by binding to the host cell receptor ACE2 and undergoing virus-host membrane fusion. Fusion is triggered by the protease TMPRSS2, which processes the viral Spike (S) protein to reveal the fusion peptide. SARS-CoV-2 has evolved a multibasic site at the S1-S2 boundary, which is thought to be cleaved by furin in order to prime S protein for TMPRSS2 processing. Here we show that CRISPR-Cas9 knockout of furin reduces, but does not prevent, the production of infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus. Comparing S processing in furin knockout cells to multibasic site mutants reveals that while loss of furin substantially reduces S1-S2 cleavage it does not prevent it. SARS-CoV-2 S protein also mediates cell-cell fusion, potentially allowing virus to spread virion-independently. We show that loss of furin in either donor or acceptor cells reduces, but does not prevent, TMPRSS2-dependent cell-cell fusion, unlike mutation of the multibasic site that completely prevents syncytia formation. Our results show that while furin promotes both SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and cell-cell spread it is not essential, suggesting furin inhibitors may reduce but not abolish viral spread.

description: In this and subsequent papers, one dimensional system of Dirac fermions with a random-varying mass is studied by the transfer-matrix methods which we developed recently. We investigate the effects of nonlocal correlation of the spatial-varying Dirac mass on the delocalization transition. Especially we numerically calculate both the "typical" and "mean" localization lengths as a function of energy and the correlation length of the random mass. To this end we introduce an imaginary vector potential as suggested by Hatano and Nelson and solve the eigenvalue problem. Numerical calculations are in good agreement with the results of the analytical calculations. We obtain the relation between the localization length of states and the correlation length of the random mass. In subsequent paper, we shall study Dirac fermions with a random mass of long-ranged correlations.

description: Two dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for optical modulation, detection, and light emission since their material properties can be tuned on-demand via electrostatic doping. The optical properties of TMDs have been shown to change drastically with doping in the wavelength range near the excitonic resonances. However, little is known about the effect of doping on the optical properties of TMDs away from these resonances, where the material is transparent and therefore could be leveraged in photonic circuits. Here, we probe the electro-optic response of monolayer TMDs at near infrared (NIR) wavelengths (i.e. deep in the transparency regime), by integrating them on silicon nitride (SiN) photonic structures to induce strong light$-$matter interaction with the monolayer. We dope the monolayer to carrier densities of ($7.2 \pm 0.8$) $\times$ $10^{13} \textrm{cm}^{-2}$, by electrically gating the TMD using an ionic liquid. We show strong electro-refractive response in monolayer tungsten disulphide (WS$_2$) at NIR wavelengths by measuring a large change in the real part of refractive index $Δ$n = $0.53$, with only a minimal change in the imaginary part $Δ$k = $0.004$. The doping induced phase change ($Δ$n), compared to the induced absorption ($Δ$k) measured for WS$_2$ ($Δ$n/$Δ$k $\sim 125$), a key metric for photonics, is an order of magnitude higher than the $Δ$n/$Δ$k for bulk materials like silicon ($Δ$n/$Δ$k $\sim 10$), making it ideal for various photonic applications. We further utilize this strong tunable effect to demonstrate an electrostatically gated SiN-WS$_2$ phase modulator using a WS$_2$-HfO$_2$ (Hafnia)-ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) capacitive configuration, that achieves a phase modulation efficiency (V$_π$L) of 0.8 V $\cdot$ cm with a RC limited bandwidth of 0.3 GHz.

time constant of the cerebral arterial bed
Finapres non-invasive arterial blood pressure
transcranial Doppler
cerebral haemodynamics

description: Abstract: Objective: The time constant of the cerebral arterial bed (τ), which is an index of brain haemodynamics, can be estimated in patients using continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure (ABP), transcranial Doppler cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and intracranial pressure (ICP) if these measures are available. But, in some clinical scenarios invasive measurement of ABP is not feasible. Therefore, in this study we aimed to investigate whether invasive ABP can be replaced with non-invasive ABP, monitored using the Finapres photoplethysmograph (fABP). Approach: Forty-six recordings of ICP, ABP, fABP, and CBFV in the right and left middle cerebral arteries were performed daily for approximately 30 min in 10 head injury patients. Two modelling approaches (constant flow forward [CFF, pulsatile blood inflow and steady blood outflow] and pulsatile flow forward [PFF, where both blood inflow and outflow are pulsatile]) were applied to estimate τ using either invasive ABP (τCFF, τPFF) or non-invasive ABP (fτCFF, fτPFF). Main results: Bland–Altman analysis showed quite poor agreement between the fτ and τ methods of estimation. The fτ method produced significantly higher values than the τ method when calculated using both the CFF and PFF models (p < .001 for both). The correlation between fτCFF and τCFF was moderately high (r s = 0.63; p < .001), whereas that between fτPFF and τPFF was weaker (r s = 0.40; p = .009). Significance: Our results suggest that using non-invasive ABP for estimation of τ is inaccurate in head injury patients.

description: A search for the Higgsstrahlung process ${\rm e}^+{\rm e}^- \to {\rm HZ}$ is carried out, covering decays of the Higgs boson into any quark pair, a gluon pair or a tau pair. The analysis is based on the $630 {\rm pb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies from 189 to 209 GeV. A 95% C.L. lower mass limit of 109.1\mc2 is obtained for a Higgs boson cross section equal to that expected from the Standard Model if the Higgs boson decays exclusively into hadrons and/or taus, irrespective of the relative branching fractions.

Foraging behavior

description: Abstract: Background: Foraging performance is widely hypothesized to play a key role in shaping age-specific demographic rates in wild populations, yet the underlying behavioral changes are poorly understood. Seabirds are among the longest-lived vertebrates, and demonstrate extensive age-related variation in survival, breeding frequency and success. The breeding season is a particularly critical phase during the annual cycle, but it remains unclear whether differences in experience or physiological condition related to age interact with the changing degree of the central-place constraint in shaping foraging patterns in time and space. Methods: Here we analyze tracking data collected over two decades from congeneric black-browed (BBA) and grey-headed (GHA) albatrosses, Thalassarche melanophris and T. chrysostoma, breeding at South Georgia. We compare the foraging trip parameters, at-sea activity (flights and landings) and habitat preferences of individuals aged 10–45 years and contrast these patterns between the incubation and early chick-rearing stages. Results: Young breeders of both species showed improvements in foraging competency with age, reducing foraging trip duration until age 26. Thereafter, there were signs of foraging senescence; older adults took gradually longer trips, narrowed their habitat preference (foraging within a smaller range of sea surface temperatures) (GHA), made fewer landings and rested on the water for longer (BBA). Some age-specific effects were apparent for each species only in certain breeding stages, highlighting the complex interaction between intrinsic drivers in determining individual foraging strategies. Conclusions: Using cross-sectional data, this study highlighted clear age-related patterns in foraging behavior at the population-level for two species of albatrosses. These trends are likely to have important consequences for the population dynamics of these threatened seabirds, as young or old individuals may be more vulnerable to worsening environmental conditions.

description: Recent discussions on U.S. trade policies suggest that import quotas should be auctioned to ensure the U.S. Treasury acquires the quota rent. However, studies which have estimated the potential benefits have ignored important details of import quota regimes, assumed perfect competition and no retaliation from exporters. This paper aims to deal with these three criticisms with an application to the U.S. import quota regime for cheese. The results show that in oligopolistic settings, the government could maximize potential rents from import restrictions by auctioning off an optimal quota. However, preventing retaliation reduces Treasury gains. Further, license sales have distributional implications for U.S. cheese processing firms and consumers. Depending on the source of rent dissipation, selling cheese quota licenses may result in a net welfare loss.
