description: Deep learning methods, in particular, trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have recently been shown to produce compelling results for single image Super-Resolution (SR). Invariably, a CNN is learned to map the Low Resolution (LR) image to its corresponding High Resolution (HR) version in the spatial domain. We propose a novel network structure for learning the SR mapping function in an image transform domain, specifically the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). As the first contribution, we show that DCT can be integrated into the network structure as a Convolutional DCT (CDCT) layer. With the CDCT layer, we construct the DCT Deep SR (DCT-DSR) network. We further extend the DCT-DSR to allow the CDCT layer to become trainable (i.e., optimizable). Because this layer represents an image transform, we enforce pairwise orthogonality constraints and newly formulated complexity order constraints on the individual basis functions/filters. This Orthogonally Regularized Deep SR network (ORDSR) simplifies the SR task by taking advantage of image transform domain while adapting the design of transform basis to the training image set. Experimental results show ORDSR achieves state-of-the-art SR image quality with fewer parameters than most of the deep CNN methods. A particular success of ORDSR is in overcoming the artifacts introduced by bicubic interpolation. A key burden of deep SR has been identified as the requirement of generous training LR and HR image pairs; ORSDR exhibits a much more graceful degradation as training size is reduced with significant benefits in the regime of limited training. Analysis of memory and computation requirements confirms that ORDSR can allow for a more efficient network with faster inference.

description: Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are widely used as filter, resonator or delay line in electronic systems in a wide range of applications: mobile communication, TVs, radar, stable resonator for clock generation, etc. The resonance frequency and the delay line of SAW devices are depending on the properties of materials forming the device and could be very sensitive to the physical parameters of the environment. Since SAW devices are more and more used as sensor for a large variety of area: gas, pressure, force, temperature, strain, radiation, etc. The sensors based SAW present the advantage to be passive (batteryless) and/or wireless. These interesting properties combined with a small size, a low cost radio request system and a small antennas when operating at high frequency, offer new and exiting perspectives for wireless measurement processes and IDTAG applications. When the materials constituting the devices are properly selected, it becomes possible to use those sensors without embedded electronic in hostile environments (as high temperature, nuclear site, ...) where no solutions are currently used. General principle of the SAW sensor in wired and wireless configurations will be developed and a review of recent works concerning the field of high temperature applications will be presented with specific attention given to the choice of materials constituting the SAW device.
Photometry of the 1991 Superoutburst of EF Pegasi: Super-Quasi-Periodic Oscillations with Rapidly Decaying Periods
Creators: name: Kato, Taichi

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We observed the 1991 October outburst of EF Peg. Prominent superhumps with a period of 0.08705(1) d were observed, qualifying EF Peg as a being long-period SU UMa-type dwarf nova. The superhump period showed a monotonous decrease during the superoutburst, which makes a contrast to the virtually zero period change observed during the 1997 superoutburst of the same object. Large-amplitude, and highly coherent quasi-periodic oscillations (super-QPOs) were observed on October 18, when superhumps were still growing in amplitude. Most strikingly, the QPOs showed a rapid decrease of the period from 18 m to 6.8 m within the 3.2-hr observing run. Such a rapid change in the period has not been observed in any class of QPOs in cataclysmic variables. We propose a hypothesis that the rapid decrease of the QPO period reflects the rapid removal of the angular momentum from an orbiting blob in the accretion disk, via the viscosity in a turbulent disk. A brief comparison is given with the QPOs in X-ray binaries, some of which are known to show a similar rapid decrease in the periods.

description: We have presented previously a general treatment of Starobinsky-like inflation in no-scale supergravity where the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r = 3(1 - n_s)^2$, and $n_s$ is the tilt of the scalar perturbations. In particular, we have shown how this scenario can be unified with modulus fixing, supersymmetry breaking and a small cosmological constant. In this paper we extend these constructions to inflationary models based on generalized no-scale structures. In particular, we consider alternative values of the curvature parameter, $α< 1$, as may occur if not all the complex Kähler moduli contribute to driving inflation, as well as $α> 1$, as may occur if complex structure moduli also contribute to driving inflation. In all cases, we combine these $α$-Starobinsky inflation models with supersymmetry breaking and a present-day cosmological constant, allowing for additional contributions to the vacuum energy from stages of gauge symmetry breaking.

description: We present a comparison between a number of recently introduced low-memory wave function optimization methods for variational Monte Carlo in which we find that first and second derivative methods possess strongly complementary relative advantages. While we find that low-memory variants of the linear method are vastly more efficient at bringing wave functions with disparate types of nonlinear parameters to the vicinity of the energy minimum, accelerated descent approaches are then able to locate the precise minimum with less bias and lower statistical uncertainty. By constructing a simple hybrid approach that combines these methodologies, we show that all of these advantages can be had at once when simultaneously optimizing large determinant expansions, molecular orbital shapes, traditional Jastrow correlation factors, and more nonlinear many-electron Jastrow factors.

The jajmani system : an investigation
Creators: name: Caldwell, Bruce
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986

description: The idea for this thesis developed as a result of work I undertook as a research assistant on a demographic survey in India. During an initial visit in 1978-9, I became interested in the effects of occupational and educational change on caste, on which subject I subsequently wrote my honours thesis, Stablility and Challenge: Caste Responses to Changes in Occupation and Education in an Indian Village. While reading for this subject I became interested in the concept of the jajmani system. As described in the anthropological literature, jajmani is a system whereby the services of a range of craftsmen, which may include barbers, washermen, carpenters, and blacksmiths, are provided in return for fixed annual allocations of harvested grain rather than for payment in money or payment for each service tailored to the size of the service. The services are provided only by the appropriate castes and may include other specified ritual duties. Jajmani relations have been identified as being hereditary and as involving duties and responsibilities on the parts of those giving and those receiving the service. The literature on the jajmani relations interested me but did not seem to describe the relationships I had noted in the field. During my next visit in 1979-80, I was determined to explore this matter but at first I made little progress. I asked the chief landlords of the village in which I was working, Mayasandra, in Karnataka State, South India, whether they made the annual payments of grain to their labourers that anthropologists held to characterize the jajmani system. They uniformly said that they did not but paid their labourers in cash, usually on a purely casual basis. Conversations I had with the labourers reinforced this information. It was only when I had cross-questioned a much wider range of people, that I found that harvest payments were made, but only by the smaller farmers of Mayasandra and in the outlying hamlets. They were paid not to the labourers, but only to the so-called service castes, the Barbers, Washermen, Blacksmiths etc. (When an occupation is spelled with an initial capital letter it designates the caste which traditionally undertook that work.) On rereading the literature, I found that I had made several unwarranted assumptions. Firstly, although theoretical models of the jajmani system generally cover all occupational groups (see Wiser, 1958; Dumont, 1980), most ethnographic descriptions (including Wiser’s) only mention the service castes, and the few exceptions are highly suspect.

subject: China History Han dynasty, 202 B.C.-220 A.D

description: As Etienne Balass, has wel1 pointed out, one of the distinctive characteristics of Chinese historiography is its stereotype: the that it lacks of historian’s personal touch and his generalisation of observed facts. The accuracy of this comment is clear when we consider the Treatise of Astronomy and the Treatise of the Five Elements in some of the official histories. In the Treatise of Astronomy, a great series of observations concerning general astronomical and natural or supernatural phenomena, such as the appearance of comet and the movements of the five observable planets, are recorded each with their correlation to earthly affairs. In the Treatise of the Five Elements, a great number of disasters and portents are arranged chronologically under various categories such as fire, drought, earthquake, plague and solar eclipse, again accompanied by interpretations from events of the time.

description: We analyse the Fundamental Plane (FP) of 26 strong gravitational lens galaxies with redshifts up to z~1, using tabulated data from Kochanek et al. (2000) and Rusin et al. (2003). The lens galaxies effectively form a mass-selected sample of early-type galaxies in environments of relatively low density. We analyse the FP and its evolution in the restframe Johnson B and Gunn r bands. Assuming that early-type galaxies are a homologous family, the FP then provides a direct measurement of the M/L ratio evolution. If we assume that the M/L ratios of field early-type galaxies evolve as power-laws, we find for the lens galaxies an evolution rate dlog(M/L)/dz of -0.62 +/-0.13 in restframe B, corresponding to a mean stellar formation redshift of =1.8 (-0.5/+1.4). This formation epoch does not differ significantly from that of cluster galaxies =2.0 (-0.2/+0.3), obtained by van Dokkum & Franx (2001) after correction for maximum progenitor bias. However, if we impose the constraint that lens and cluster galaxies that are of the same age have equal M/L ratios and we do not correct for progenitor bias, we find that the stellar populations of the lens galaxies are 10-15 % younger. We find that both the M/L ratios as well as the restframe colors of the lens galaxies show significant scatter. About half of the lens galaxies are consistent with an old cluster-like stellar populations, but the other galaxies are bluer and best fit by single burst models with younger stellar formation redshifts as low as z*~1. Moreover, the scatter in color is correlated with the scatter in M/L ratio. We interpret this as evidence of a significant age spread among the stellar populations of lens galaxies, whereas the ages of the stellar populations of the cluster galaxies are well approximated by a single formation epoch.

description: To develop elite mutant in Mentha piperita having morphotype and oil content of Mentha arvensis, and oil quality of M. piperita. The dormant runner of menthol rich genotype MPK-5 were subjected to different doses of γ- irradiation (10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 Gy) at a dose rate of 55 Gy/min to induce the genetic variability for herb and oil yield as well as oil quality. A wide spectrum of variability for agro-morphological traits, herb yield, and quality profile was observed among the mutants. The developed and selected superior mutants viz. MPK-5(1) and MPK-5(3) have a mean herb yield potential of 23.923 and 21.503 Kg/9 m2; mean oil yield of 92.953 and 80.047 ml/plot; mean menthol content of 69.012% and 69.160% with mean menthofuran content of 1.554% and 0.531%, respectively. Mutational breeding through γ- irradiation is considered complementary to the conventional breeding method, to broaden the spectrum of genetic variability. The developed and selected mutants namely viz. MPK-5(1) and MPK-5(3) identified as promising mutants, based on herb yield, oil yield, and essential oil quality, could be used as a parental line for exploitation in hybridization program/recombinant breeding.

description: In an effort to better determine the 7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction rate, we have performed inclusive and exclusive measurements of the Coulomb dissociation of 8B. The former was a study of longitudinal momentum distributions of 7Be fragments emitted in the Coulomb breakup of intermediate energy 8B beams on Pb and Ag targets. Analysis of these data yielded the E2 contribution to the breakup cross section. In the exclusive measurement, we determined the cross section for the Coulomb breakup of 8B on Pb at low relative energies in order to infer the astrophysical S factor for the 7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction. Interpreting the measurements with 1st-order perturbation theory, we obtained SE2/SE1 = 4.7 (+ 2.0,- 1.3) times 10^-4 at Erel = 0.6 MeV, and S17(0) = 17.8 (+ 1.4,- 1.2) eV b. Semiclassical 1st-order perturbation theory and fully quantum mechanical continuum-discretized coupled channels analyses yield nearly identical results for the E1 strength relevant to solar neutrino flux calculations, suggesting that theoretical reaction mechanism uncertainties need not limit the precision of Coulomb breakup determinations of the 7Be(p,gamma)8B S factor. A recommended value of S17(0) based on a weighted average of this and other measurements is presented.

description: For 65 years the interpretation of the statistical association between the risk of cancer in a child and a prior diagnostic X-ray examination of the abdomen of the pregnant mother has been debated. The objections to a direct cause-and-effect explanation of the association vary in their strength, but one of the most notable grounds for controversy is the finding from the first and largest case-control study reporting the association, the Oxford Survey of Childhood Cancers (OSCC), of an almost uniformly raised relative risk (RR) for nearly all of the types of cancer that are most frequent in children. Here we compare the antenatal X-ray associations found in the OSCC for different types of childhood cancer with the results of all other case-control and case-cohort studies appropriately combined in meta-analyses, and we also review the findings of the few cohort studies that have been conducted. From the case-control/case-cohort studies other than the OSCC there are consistent and clear elevations of risk for all types of childhood cancer combined, all leukemia, and all cancers except leukemia combined. This compatibility of the findings of the OSCC with those of the combined other studies is less clear, or effectively absent, when some categories containing smaller numbers of incident cases/deaths are considered, but lack of precision of risk estimates due to sparse data presents inferential challenges, although there is a consistent absence of an association for bone tumors. Further, more recent studies almost certainly address lower intrauterine doses, with an anticipated decrease in estimated risks, which could be misleading when comparisons involve a limited number of studies that are mainly from later years, and a similar problem arises when having to employ all types of antenatal X-ray exposures for a study because data for abdominal exposures are absent. The problem of low statistical power is greater for cohort studies, and this, together with other shortcomings identified in the studies, limits the interpretational value of results. The findings of non-medical intrauterine exposure studies are constrained by sparse data and make a limited contribution to an understanding of the association. Certain aspects of the various studies require a need for caution in interpretation, but overall, the appropriate combination of all case-control/case-cohort studies other than the OSCC lends support to the inference that low-level exposure to radiation in utero proportionally increases the risk of the typical cancers of childhood to around the same level.
Inelastic scattering of protons from $^{6,8}$He and $^{7,11}$Li in a folding model approach

description: The proton-inelastic scattering from $^{6,8}$He and $^{7,11}$Li nuclei are studied in a folding model approach. A finite-range, momentum, density and isospin dependent nucleon-nucleon interaction (SBM) is folded with realistic density distributions of the above nuclei. The renormalization factors N$_R$ and N$_I$ on the real and volume imaginary part of the folded potentials are obtained by analyzing the respective elastic scattering data and kept unaltered for the inelastic analysis at the same energy. The form factors are generated by taking derivatives of the folded potentials and therefore required renormalizations. The $β$ values are extracted by fitting the p + $^{6,8}$He,$^{7,11}$Li inelastic angular distributions. The present analysis of p + $^8$He inelastic scattering to the 3.57 MeV excited state, including unpublished forward angle data (RIKEN) confirms L = 2 transition. Similar analysis of the p + $^6$He inelastic scattering angular distribution leading to the 1.8 MeV (L = 2) excited state fails to satisfactorily reproduce the data.

description: As a mature technology, Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) is now widely employed in detecting rebar and other embedded elements in concrete structures. Manually recognizing rebar from GPR data is a time-consuming and error-prone procedure. Although there are several approaches to automatically detect rebar, it is still challenging to find a high resolution and efficient method for different rebar arrangements, especially for closely spaced rebar meshes. As an improved Convolution Neural Network (CNN), AlexNet shows superiority over traditional methods in image recognition domain. Thus, this paper introduces AlexNet as an alternative solution for automatically detecting rebar within GPR data. In order to show the efficiency of the proposed approach, a traditional CNN is built as the comparative option. Moreover, this research evaluates the impacts of different rebar arrangements and different window sizes on the accuracy of results. The results revealed that: (1) AlexNet outperforms the traditional CNN approach, and its superiority is more notable when the rebar meshes are densely distributed; (2) the detection accuracy significantly varies with changing the size of splitting window, and a proper window should contain enough information about rebar; (3) uniformly and sparsely distributed rebar meshes are more recognizable than densely or unevenly distributed items, due to lower chances of signal interferences.

description: What makes the sociological analysis of Australian ethnic relations necessarily sociological? To what extent is the knowledge produced in the study of this area scientific? This thesis sets out to provide constructive answers to these two questions. While the specific aim was to develop a systematic sociological analysis of Australian ethnic relations, a more general objective was to attempt to provide a guide for the sociological analysis of other sub-areas within Australian society, e.g., the sociology of health, work, etc. The method selected for attempting to answer these questions was firstly, to try to identify the nature of scientific sociology. This resulted in the development of an epistemological position for sociological inquiry called critical systematic sociological practice. One important principle of this practice was the need to locate the study of specific areas, such as ethnic relations, within the historical development of the Australian social structure. This practice was then used to critique the study of Australian ethnic relations in order to show the non-systematic nature of much of the knowledge produced in this area. It was also employed to analyse ethnic groups in the context of the wider class structure. This analysis, while pointing out the connection between ideology and the concept of multiculturalism and the dominant discourse of ethnic relations, was mainly intended to focus on the mechanisms by which the class structure is maintained and reproduced. In light of this analysis and the emancipationist-realist epistemological position adopted, it was suggested that consciousness raising coupled with various forms of praxis could be a means by which oppressed groups may be liberated from their subordinate social position. These means indicated the need for some sort of education programme (conscientization). How and where could such a programme be instituted? A case study of the organisation and curriculum of four Greek ethnic schools in Sydney was carried out to determine the role these schools now play in Australian ethnic relations and the role they could play in a truly multicultural society. The conclusion emphasises the contribution of critical systematic sociological practice to sociological knowledge in general and to knowledge in ethnic relations, in particular.

description: To develop elite mutant in M. piperita having morphotype and oil content of M. arvensis, and oil quality of M. piperita. The dormant runner of menthol rich genotype MPK-5 were subjected to different doses of γ- irradiation (10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110 Gy) at a dose rate of 55 Gy/min to induce the genetic variability for herb and oil yield as well as oil quality. Wide spectrum of variability for herb yield, agro- morphological traits and quality profile was observed among the mutants. The developed and selected superior mutants viz. MPK-5(1) and MPK-5(3) have mean herb yield potential of 23.923 and 21.503 Kg/9m2; mean oil yield of 92.953 and 80.047 ml/plot; mean menthol content of 69.012 and 69.160% with mean menthofuran content of 1.554 and 0.531%, respectively. Mutational breeding through γ- irradiation is considered complementary to conventional breeding method, to broaden the spectrum of genetic variability. The developed and selected mutants namely viz. MPK-5(1) and MPK-5(3) identified as promising mutants, based on herb yield, oil yield and essential oil quality, could be used as a parental line for exploitation in hybridization programme/recombinant breeding.

description: Main-belt asteroid (6478) Gault was observed to show cometary features in early 2019. To investigate the cause, we conducted {\it BVR} observations at Xingming Observatory, China, from 2019 January to April. The two tails were formed around 2018 October 26--November 08, and 2018 December 29--2019 January 08, respectively, and consisted of dust grains of $\gtrsim$20 $μ$m to 3 mm in radius ejected at a speed of $0.15 \pm 0.05$ m s$^{-1}$ and following a broken power-law size distribution bending at grain radius $\sim$70 $μ$m (bulk density 1 g cm$^{-3}$ assumed). The total mass of dust within a $10^4$ km-radius aperture around Gault declined from $\sim$$9 \times 10^6$ kg since 2019 January at a rate of $2.28 \pm 0.07$ kg s$^{-1}$, but temporarily surged around 2019 March 25, because Earth thence crossed the orbital plane of Gault, within which the ejected dust was mainly distributed. No statistically significant colour or short-term lightcurve variation was seen. Nonetheless we argue that Gault is currently subjected to rotational instability. Using the available astrometry, we did not detect any nongravitational acceleration in the orbital motion of Gault.

description: Business processes are generally time-sensitive, impacting factors such as customer expectations, cost efficiencies, compliance requirements, supply chain constraints, and timely decision-making. Time analysis is therefore crucial for customer understanding and process congestion minimisation. Existing process mining methods mainly employ basic statistics, process discovery and data mining techniques. These approaches often lack a structured model or profile to characterise the data related to the duration of individual process tasks. Consequently, it can be difficult to comprehensively understand critical observations such as trends, peaks, and valleys of task durations. This paper proposes a parsimonious generic representation of task duration data that addresses these limitations. A mixture model comprising gamma, uniform and exponential distributions is proposed that allows for peaked components corresponding to durations terminating near a particular value (the peak) with, in addition, flatter components for durations terminating more randomly between the peaks. The modelling is validated using examples from patient billing and the telecom industry. In each scenario, the corresponding fitted models offer a good representation of the underlying process tasks. The model can therefore be used to improve knowledge of these tasks in terms of the mixture components and what they might represent, such as the root causes of task termination. The paper also considers information criteria more appropriate for large data sets where very small effects can appear “significant” using techniques developed for smaller data set

DISCUSSION
 Although this species is represented exclusively by the holotype, it does show the main characters of the genus. We point out that Van Bakel et al. (work in progress) consider Dromiopsis pulchella to be a necrocarcinid rather than a dynomenid. We have nothing to add to the diagnosis and description of Secrétan (1964: 169, text-figs 98-100, pl. 19, fig. 7).

 Diagnosis [Type-species Stichopus leucospilota Brandt, 1835]
Size moderate to large (up to 400 mm long); body often cylindrical in shape, although some species display a flattened trivium. Often fugitive species, reflected by a relatively thin, smooth body wall, covered by numerous, more or less irregularly arranged, ventral tube feet, and by less numerous irregularly arranged dorsal papillae and tube feet. Calcareous ring stout with the radial plates almost twice as long as the interradial plates. Ossicles of the body wall consist of poorly developed tables and irregular buttons, perforated by three to six pairs of holes. Ventral tube feet with rods, buttons and wide plates. Longitudinal muscles contain ossicles varying in shape from rods to C-shape ossicles, rings and small, smooth buttons.

description: In a kinematically complete experiment at the Mainz microtron MAMI, pion angular distributions of the $^3$He(e,e'$π^+)^3$H reaction have been measured in the excitation region of the $Δ$ resonance to determine the longitudinal ($L$), transverse ($T$), and the $LT$ interference part of the differential cross section. The data are described only after introducing self-energy modifications of the pion and $Δ$-isobar propagators. Using Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) to extrapolate the pion self energy as inferred from the measurement on the mass shell, we deduce a reduction of the $π^+$ mass of $Δm_{π^+} = (-1.7^{+ 1.7}_{- 2.1})$ MeV/c$^2$ in the neutron-rich nuclear medium at a density of $ρ= (0.057^{+ 0.085}_{- 0.057})$ fm$^{-3}$. Our data are consistent with the $Δ$ self energy determined from measurements of $π^0$ photoproduction from $^4$He and heavier nuclei.
