description: Most likely in the second half of 2025 the Polish Electoral Code is going to be significantly amended. One of the most reverberating ideas is the introduction of i-voting. To assess the chances of success, case study of the recently created system ``Party Proxy'' (PL: “Mąż zaufania”. The mobile application is available on both Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.mc.mzow and Apple's AppStore, and the registration form on https://bazamezowzaufania.gov.pl/) was made. Both the system itself and the way in which it was implemented have raised many controversies. Combined with previous experiences in the digitization of electoral processes in Poland, this can lead to justified concerns about probable future works on i-voting.

description: Irrigation is seen as the means of ensuring food security in a water-scarce urban economy such as the Accra Metropolitan Area of Ghana. The use of modern, advanced and resource efficient irrigation technologies is vital to increase farm output and take people out of poverty. The informal irrigation system is what is common among the urban vegetable producers in Accra. The study modeled the choice of informal irrigation technologies of urban vegetable farmers in Accra using the multinomial logit modeling Approach. A sample of 107 respondents provided information for the analyses. Farmers who have access to credit, frequently contact extension agents, operate larger farm size, have high labour cost of farm operations and use river as key source of irrigation water were likely to use the motorized pump with hose irrigation technology. It was suggested that extension agents should intensify education of the farmers on the benefits of modern irrigation technologies such as the motorized pump with hose. Also credit should be made available to the farmers by the government and other development partners so as to be able to invest in such water-saving and resource efficient irrigation technologies.

description: The instability of commodity prices and the hypothesis that speculative behaviour was one of its causes has brought renewed interest in futures markets. In this paper, we analyse the European wheat futures markets (feed and milling) and the CBOT’s wheat contract as a comparison, to study their efficiency, hedging effectiveness and whether they were affected during the period of high instability after 2007. Implicitly this is a test of whether the increasing presence of speculation in futures markets have made them divorced from the physical markets, and therefore, not useful for commercial entities aiming to exchange price risk for basis risk.

description: A new cytotoxic alkaloid, named streptothiazolidine B (1), together with three known compounds (2-4), were isolated from Streptomyces violaceoruber. The structure of the undescribed compound was established using 1D and 2D NMR, and HRESIMS. Streptothiazolidine B was isolated and identified as an amide alkaloid with a unique thiazolidine side chain and its absolute configuration was determined by a combination of NOESY experiment and ECD analysis. Streptothiazolidine B exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against two human tumor cell lines, Li-7 and A2780, with IC50 values of 7.8, and 9.1 μM. Meanwhile, compound 4 showed obvious cytotoxic activities against four human tumor cell lines, THP-1, HT29, Li-7 and A2780, with IC50 values ranging from 3.1 to 10.2 μM.

description: Helium-ion-induced swelling and blistering of single-crystal tungsten is investigated using a Helium Ion Microscope for site-specific dose-controlled irradiation (at 25 keV) with analysis by Helium Ion Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (cross-sectioning by Focused Ion Beam milling). Our measurements show that the blister cavity forms at the depth of the helium peak and that nanobubbles coalesce to form nanocracks within the envelope of the ion stopping range, causing swelling of the blister shell. These results provide the first direct experimental evidence for the interbubble fracture mechanism proposed in the framework of the gas pressure model for blister formation.

description: To mitigate security risks of Internet voting, techniques for verifiability have been developed, allowing the voters to verify that their cast vote has not been manipulated. One such technique is the use of tracking codes, which does not rely on complex cryptographic mechanisms, and therefore is often assumed to be more intuitive for the voters. However, no systematic evaluation of the usability, verification efficacy, and perceived trustworthiness of these systems has yet been conducted. Our contribution evaluates two variants of a tracking code-based system in a user study (N=306), testing both of the variants in the absence of vote manipulations as well as using different simulated tactics of vote manipulation. We conclude that both of our proposed variants are perceived as easy to use, transparent, and trustworthy in the absence of vote manipulation. However, we found varying rates of verification efficacy based on the vote manipulation tactic, manipulation with detection rates ranging from 0% to 76%. We conclude that using tracking codes can be a viable approach. At the same time, more awareness of potential manipulations needs to be raised to achieve the required security level, irrespective of the verification technique in place.

description: Studies on the impacts of alien plants help to understand extent of biological invasion. Multiple analyses of diversity parameters at different locations allow general explanations of impact on species diversity and richness in plant communities. The current study assessed impact of Xanthium strumarium invasion on native plant diversity in Pothwar region of Pakistan. The approach used for study was random samplings with two categorical factors: invaded and non-invaded plots under same habitat conditions. Differences in species frequency (N), species richness (R), evenness (Jꞌ), Shannon diversity index (Hꞌ) and Simpson index of dominance (λ) were compared between invaded and control plots by t-test series. Control plots harbored by average 1.3 more species/10m2. The control category was more diverse (Hꞌ=2.00) than invaded category (Hꞌ=1.82). Non-invaded plots showed a higher floristic richness than invaded ones. At multivariate scale, ordination (nMDS) and ANOSIM showed significant magnitude of differences between invaded and control plots. The decrease in diversity indices in invaded over control sites indicated that plant communities become less biodiverse due to Xanthium strumarium invasion. This makes X. strumarium a candidate of consideration for appropriate control measures.

description: Hamusolidia, gen. nov.
 Type species. Hamusolidia introrsa, sp. nov.
 Description. Moderately large, slender species. General habitus similar to Laosolidia gen. nov. (see below); pygofer in lateral view broad, similar to Laosolidia; aedeagus extremely long, narrow with long, single, very narrow subapical process similar to Olidiana, 2 curved, very short secondary processes medially on shaft; style very broad in lateral and dorsal views, apophysis small; connective large, anterior arms broad, digitate laterally, apex hooked; subgenital plate broad, similar to Laosolidia.
 Etymology. The name is a combination of the Latin root hamus [= hooked] and suffix - olidia, an arbitrary name derived from the genus Coelidia. The gender is feminine.
 Remarks. From Laosolidia to which it is similar, Hamusolidia can be separated by the very slender aedeagus, broad style and the unique, lateral digitate stem of the connective in dorsal view. Only 1 species is known.

description: This multidisciplinary study considers the impact of short-term weather variations on food consumption of 488 rural households in Uganda. We combine World bank LSMS households panel data with data on rainfall, number of rainy days, maximum and minimum temperatures in the period 2005/06-2009/10. Triangulating the findings of the econometric model with qualitative interviews and the analysis of the agricultural sector recent developments, we argue that households are involved in ex-ante smoothing strategies while land and reduction of non-consumption expenditures seem to partially offset adverse rainfall variations.

description: The U.S. state of Georgia was central to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election, including a phone call from then-president Donald Trump to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking Raffensperger to `find' 11,780 votes. Raffensperger has maintained that a `100% full-count risk-limiting audit' and a machine recount agreed with the initial machine-count results, which proved that the reported election results were accurate and that `no votes were flipped.' While there is no evidence that the reported outcome is wrong, neither is there evidence that it is correct: the two machine counts and the manual `audit' tallies disagree substantially, even about the number of ballots cast. Some ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, were included in the original count at least twice; some were included in the machine recount at least thrice. Audit handcount results for some tally batches were omitted from the reported audit totals: reported audit results do not include all the votes the auditors counted. In short, the two machine counts and the audit were not probative of who won because of poor processes and controls: a lack of secure physical chain of custody, ballot accounting, pollbook reconciliation, and accounting for other election materials such as memory cards. Moreover, most voters used demonstrably untrustworthy ballot-marking devices; as a result, even a perfect handcount or audit would not necessarily reveal who really won. True risk-limiting audits (RLAs) and rigorous recounts can limit the risk that an incorrect electoral outcome will be certified rather than being corrected. But no procedure can limit that risk without a trustworthy record of the vote. And even a properly conducted RLA of some contests in an election does not show that any other contests in that election were decided correctly. The 2020 U.S. Presidential election in Georgia illustrates unrecoverable errors that can render recounts and audits `security theater' that distract from the more serious problems rather than justifying trust.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The strange morphology of the six-component gravitational lens PMN J0134-0931 has resisted explanation. We present the first successful quantitative models for the system, based on the idea that there are two lens galaxies and two components of the background source. One source is quintuply imaged and corresponds to the five brightest observed radio components. The other source is triply imaged and corresponds to the sixth component, along with two others too faint to have been detected. The models reproduce the observed image positions and fluxes, and make falsifiable predictions about other properties of the system. Some of these predictions have been confirmed by high-resolution radio and optical observations, as described in the companion paper by Winn et al. (2003). Although we cannot determine the lens model uniquely with current data, we predict that the lens galaxies are spiral galaxies with roughly equal velocity dispersions sigma~120km/s and a projected separation of only 0.4" (2/h kpc at z_l=0.76). This system is the first known lens with five images of a single quasar, and the second with more than four images.

description: Purpose: Madagascar is worldwide recognized as one of the top biodiversity hotspots. Our purpose was to investigate a fungal species found in Madagascar as a sclerotial mass. Methods: A fungal sample consisting of a sclerotium was collected on a Raphia farinifera log in Antsohihy (North Madagascar) and sent to our lab for characterization. Morphological and molecular analyses were carried out and small pieces of sclerotium tissue were inoculated in agar in order to isolate mycelium. Results: light and scanning electron microscope observations of the sclerotium revealed a carpet of thick-walled hyphae whereas light microscope observations of mycelium showed nematode-trapping structures. The nrITS sequence obtained from the sclerotium was compared with the GeneBank database showing high similarity with Pleurotus tuber-regium. A phylogenetic analysis clearly revealed two clades in this species: one of mainly African origin, the other one of Asian and Australasian origin. Whether these two clades should be considered two subspecies of the same species or two distinct species, is questioned, discussed. Conclusion: This study reports the first molecular identification of Pleurotus tuber-regium from Madagascar.

description: In optical images, the not amply studied isolated interacting galaxy pair KPG 486 (NGC 6090) displays similar features to the galaxy pair The Antennae (NGC 4038/39). To compare the distribution of ionized hydrogen gas, morphology and kinematic and dynamic behaviour between both galaxy pairs, we present observations in the H$α$ emission line of NGC 6090 acquired with the scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer, PUMA. For each galaxy in NGC 6090 we obtained several kinematic parameters, its velocity field and its rotation curve, we also analysed some of the perturbations induced by their encounter. We verified the consistency of our results by comparing them with kinematic results from the literature. The comparison of our results on NGC 6090 with those obtained in a previous similar kinematic analysis made for The Antennae highlighted great differences between these galaxy pairs.

description: The purpose of the present study is to examine the effect of binary mixtures of the heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), on the assimilation of nitrate (NO3-) and orthophosphate (PO43-) from N and P-rich culture medium of the duckweed Lemna gibba. In binary mixtures, varied Cd concentrations (0.01, 0.1 and 1mgCd/L) were tested with 0.1 and 1 mgPb/L respectively. Experiments were run for 2, 4, 6 and 8 days. Results showed that in all treatments (Cd+Pb), orthophosphates concentration decreased markedly within the two days of initiating experiments. The highest phosphate removal efficiency is 89.39%, in the solutions containing a binary mixture of Pb at 0.1 mg/L combined with Cd mg/L on the fourth day and about 83% in a binary mixture of Pb and Cd at 1mg/L each metal. Nevertheless, nitrate removal was weak with time. The co-contamination of the plant culture medium with varied Cd + Pb concentrations has no effect on phosphate removal, as compared to the control. Additionally, Cd and Pb were removed from the medium and accumulated on Lemna gibba.

Physical-chemical modeling of the low-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422

description: We present detailed gas-phase chemical models for the envelope of the low-mass star-forming region IRAS 16293-2422. By considering both time- and space-dependent chemistry, these models are used to study both the physical structure proposed by Schoier et al. (2002), as well as the chemical evolution of this region. A new feature of our study is the use of a detailed, self-consistent radiative transfer model to translate the model abundances into line strengths and compare them directly with observations of a total of 76 transitions for 18 chemical species, and their isotopes. The model can reproduce many of the line strengths observed within 50%. The best fit is for times in the range of 3e3 - 3e4 yrs, and requires only minor modifications to our model for the high-mass star-forming region AFGL 2591. The ionization rate for the source may be higher than previously expected -- either due to an enhanced cosmic-ray ionization rate, or, more probably, to the presence of X-ray induced ionization from the center. A significant fraction of the CO is found to desorb in the temperature range of 15-40 K; below this temperature, \~90% or more of the CO is frozen out. The inability of the model to explain the HCS+, C2H, and OCS abundances suggests the importance of further laboratory studies of basic reaction rates. Finally, predictions of the abundances and spatial distributions of other species which could be observed by future facilities (e.g., Herschel-HIFI, SOFIA, millimeter arrays) are provided.

R-Parity Violation in a SUSY GUT Model and Radiative Neutrino Masses

description: Within the framework of an SU(5) SUSY GUT model, a mechanism which effectively induces R-parity-violating terms below the unification energy scale M_X is proposed. The model has matter fields \bar{5}_{L(+)}+10_{L(-)} and Higgs fields H_{(-)} and \bar{H}_{(+)} in addition to the ordinary Higgs fields H_{(+)} and \bar{H}_{(-)} which contribute to the Yukawa interactions, where (\pm) denote the transformation properties under a discrete symmetry Z_2. The Z_2 symmetry is only broken by the μ-term \bar{H}_{(+)}H_{(-)} softly, so that the \bar{5}_{(+)}\leftrightarrow \bar{H}_{(+)} \leftrightarrow \bar{H}_{(-)} mixing appears at μ< m_{SB}, i.e. R-parity violating terms \bar{5}_L\bar{5}_L 10_L are effectively induced from the Yukawa interactions \bar{H}_{(-)}\bar{5}_{L(+)}10_{L(-)}, so that the effective coupling constants λ_{ijk} of ν_{Li} e_{Lj} e_{Rk}^c and ν_{Li} d_{Rj}^c d_{Lk} are proportional to the mass matrices (M_e^*)_{jk} and (M_d^\dagger)_{jk}, respectively. The parameter regions which are harmless for the proton decay are investigated. Possible forms of the radiatively induced neutrino mass matrix are also investigated.

Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: The recent acceleration of regional and global integration of national economies has brought with it greater scrutiny of domestic policies that affect the competitiveness of industries in the international marketplace. Simultaneously, concerns about resource depletion and environmental degradation at national, regional and global levels have been growing rapidly, leading to calls for policies to slow resource exploitation and enforce stricter environmental standards. Together these developments have caused an entwining of policies relating to trade, foreign investment, and the environment. That entwining has the potential to bring about good outcomes in terms of the economy and the environment, but unless it is carefully managed there is the risk that both the economy and the environment will suffer.
Virasoro Symmetries of the Extended Toda Hierarchy

description: We prove that the extended Toda hierarchy of \cite{CDZ} admits nonabelian Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries isomorphic to the half of the Virasoro algebra. The generators $L_m$, $m\geq -1$ of the Lie algebra act by linear differential operators onto the tau function of the hierarchy. We also prove that the tau function of a generic solution to the extended Toda hierarchy is annihilated by a combination of the Virasoro operators and the flows of the hierarchy. As an application we show that the validity of the Virasoro constraints for the $CP^1$ Gromov-Witten invariants and their descendents implies that their generating function is the logarithm of a particular tau function of the extended Toda hierarchy.

Probabilities from Entanglement, Born's Rule from Envariance
Creators: name: Zurek, W. H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I show how probabilities arise in quantum physics by exploring implications of {\it environment - assisted invariance} or {\it envariance}, a recently discovered symmetry exhibited by entangled quantum systems. Envariance of perfectly entangled ``Bell-like'' states can be used to rigorously justify complete ignorance of the observer about the outcome of any measurement on either of the members of the entangled pair. For more general states, envariance leads to Born's rule, $p_k \propto |ψ_k|^2$ for the outcomes associated with Schmidt states. Probabilities derived in this manner are an objective reflection of the underlying state of the system -- they represent experimentally verifiable symmetries, and not just a subjective ``state of knowledge'' of the observer. Envariance - based approach is compared with and found superior to pre-quantum definitions of probability including the {\it standard definition} based on the `principle of indifference' due to Laplace, and the {\it relative frequency approach} advocated by von Mises. Implications of envariance for the interpretation of quantum theory go beyond the derivation of Born's rule: Envariance is enough to establish dynamical independence of preferred branches of the evolving state vector of the composite system, and, thus, to arrive at the {\it environment - induced superselection (einselection) of pointer states}, that was usually derived by an appeal to decoherence. Envariant origin of Born's rule for probabilities sheds a new light on the relation between ignorance (and hence, information) and the nature of quantum states.

A virtual element method for isotropic hyperelasticity

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: This work considers the application of the virtual element method to plane hyperelasticity problems with a novel approach to the selection of stabilization parameters. The method is applied to a range of numerical examples and well known strain energy functions, including neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin and Ogden material models. For each of the strain energy functions the performance of the method under varying degrees of compressibility, including near-incompressibility, is investigated. Through these examples the convergence behaviour of the virtual element method is demonstrated. Furthermore, the method is found to be robust and locking free for a variety of element geometries, including elements with a high degree of concavity.

description: The gender digital divide is a well-known research and policy topic. Policy discourses emphasise the inclusion aspect focusing on equal opportunities and economic empowerment. Critical analyses of the inclusion narrative stress its universalist and normative perspective which implicitly excludes and determines what gender technology inclusion means. This contribution focuses on an alternative perspective developed in Latin America: appropriation of technologies. This approach foregrounds the socio-cultural and economic inequalities present in the Global South. Based on a case study of a transfeminist IT community from Argentina, this paper analyses the transformative aspects of this collective’s imaginary and practices. It argues that this approach is relevant to other Global South contexts where similar communities exist and provides us with a better understanding of possibilities and limits of inclusion in the digital technologies sector.

A View through Faraday's fog: Parsec scale rotation measures in AGN
Creators: name: Zavala, R. T.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Rotation measure observations of 9 quasars, 4 BL Lacertae objects, and 3 radio galaxies are presented. The rest frame rotation measures in the cores of the quasars and the jets of the radio galaxy M87 are several thousand radians per meter squared. The BL Lacertae objects and the jets of the quasars have rest frame rotation measures of a few hundred radians per meter squared. A nuclear rotation measure of 500 radians per meter squared in the rest frame is suggested as the dividing line between quasar and BL Lacertae objects. The substantial rotation measures of the BL Lacertae objects and quasars cast doubt on the previous polarization position angle investigations of these objects at frequencies of 15 GHz or less. BL Lacertae itself has a rotation measure that varies in time, similar to the behavior observed for the quasars 3C273 and 3C279. A simple model with magnetic fields of 40 microgauss or less can account for the observed rotation measures.

Stars, Star Clusters, and Dust in NGC 3077

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Images obtained with the CFHTIR camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope are used to investigate the near-infrared photometric properties of the star-forming M81 group galaxy NGC 3077. The spectral-energy distribution (SED) of the near-infrared light within 10 arcsec of the nucleus is consistent with the 2um light being dominated by hot young (log(t_{yr}) < 6.8) stars reddened by A_V = 3 - 4, with A_V < 8 mag in some regions. A population like that near the center of NGC 205 likely contributes only a modest fraction of the light near 2um. A number of candidate star clusters are detected in and around NGC 3077. The specific frequency of globular clusters falls within the range measured in nearby dEs. The candidate young clusters have photometric masses that are similar to those of compact young clusters in other active star-forming systems, and SEDs consistent with ages log(t_{yr}) < 6.6. Based on the masses and ages of the young clusters, it is estimated that the star formation rate in NGC 3077 was at least 0.25 - 0.50 solar masses per year during the past few million years.
