description: This paper aims to investigate major national and international level recent researches about public confidence, institutional trust focus on disaster management systems. The broader research purposes analysing the national, regional status of public confidence, attitude linked to many institutions and organisations which participate in post-flood-disaster reconstruction using the relevant elements of previous studies contributing to higher efficiency of post-flood-disaster reconstruction processes. In our country this field is a slightly studied area (during my former research there could not been found any study about public trust in case of post-flood-disaster reconstruction) thus considered important to made a review study. During collecting literature it turned out that public confidence issue is a very complex area. Many methodologies exist for its investigations and determinations despite, there are no integrated approaches. From the results of this study it is obvious, that all of the investigated researches approached the public trust topic in different context. Nonetheless, the analyzed methodologies could be appropriate basis of a subsequent questionnaire survey of public trust of the Hungarian post-flood-disaster reconstruction organisations. ------------------------------------------------- A cikk elkészítésével célom volt, hogy feltárjam, milyen főbb kutatásokat végeztek a közelmúltban nemzetközi és hazai kutatók, kutató szervezetek társadalmi, intézményi bizalom témakörében, fókuszálva a katasztrófavédelmi rendszert érintő vizsgálatára. A tágabb kutatás célja, hogy alapul véve a már kivitelezett, kidolgozott társadalmi bizalmi kutatások releváns elemeit, vizsgálja a hazai társadalmi bizalom alakulását az árvízi katasztrófákat követő kárenyhítésben részt vevő szervek, intézmények iránt, hozzájárulva ezzel a kárenyhítési folyamatelemek hatékonyságának növeléséhez. Mivel a kérdéskör hazánkban kevéssé kutatott terület (vagyis eddigi kutatásim során nem találkoztam a társadalmi bizalmat az árvízi kárenyhítéssel kapcsolatban vizsgáló tanulmánnyal), ezért tartottam fontosnak egy összegző tanulmány elkészítését. A téma feldolgozása során fény derült arra, hogy társadalmi, intézményi bizalom kérdésköre egy rendkívül komplex terület. Számos módszertan létezik a vizsgálatára, valamint definiálására, mégsem beszélhetünk egységes megközelítésekről. A tanulmány eredményeiből látható, hogy a vizsgált kutatások szinte mindegyike más-más kontextusban közelíti meg a témát. Ennek ellenére az általuk használt módszertanok jó alapját képezhetik az árvízi katasztrófákat követő kárenyhítésben részt vevő szervek, intézmények iránt tanúsított bizalom kérdőíves felmérésnek.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Socioeconomic, demographic, and location characteristics as well as opinions and views of South Korean urban females were analyzed to understand how these characteristics influence preferences for foods produced through different production practices. The generalized ordinal logistic model results show that education of the respondent and household location have significant influence on preferences. Age and income influence preferences for selected production techniques and respondents’ opinions on the use of pesticides and importance of other food attributes weaken preferences for food produced by conventional practices, but increase preferences for food produced using unconventional practices.

description: We use the recently introduced independent-atom-model pixel counting method to calculate proton-impact net ionization cross sections for a large class of biologically relevant systems including pyrimidines, purines, amino acids, and nucleotides from 10 keV to 10 MeV impact energy. Overall good agreement with experimental data, where available, is found. A scaling prescription that involves coefficients derived from the independent atom model is shown to represent the cross section results better than scalings based on the number of (bonding) valence electrons of the target molecules. It is shown that the scaled net ionization cross sections of the proton-nucleotide collision systems can be represented in terms of a simple analytical formula with four parameters to within 3% accuracy.
Why Do AGN Lighthouses Switch Off?

description: Nearby galactic nuclei are observed to be very much dimmer than active galactic nuclei in distant galaxies. The Chandra X-ray Observatory has provided a definitive explanation for why this is so. With its excellent angular resolution, Chandra has imaged hot X-ray-emitting gas close to the gravitational capture radius of a handful of supermassive black holes, including Sgr A* in the nucleus of our own Galaxy. These observations provide direct and reliable estimates of the Bondi mass accretion rate in these nuclei. It is found that the Bondi accretion rate is significantly below the Eddington mass accretion rate, but this alone does not explain the dimness of the accretion flows. In all the systems observed so far, the accretion luminosity is orders of magnitude less than Mdot_{Bondi} times c^2, which means that the accretion must occur via a radiatively inefficient mode. This conclusion, which was strongly suspected for many years, is now inescapable. Furthermore, if the accretion in these nuclei occurs via either a Bondi flow or an advection-dominated accretion flow, the accreting plasma must be two-temperature at small radii, and the central mass must have an event horizon. Convection, winds and jets may play a role, but observations do not yet permit definite conclusions.

description: Gravitational wave (GW) data can be used to test the parity symmetry of gravity by investigating the difference between left-hand and right-hand circular polarization modes. In this article, we develop a method to decompose the circular polarizations of GWs produced during the inspiralling stage of compact binaries, with the help of stationary phase approximation. The foremost advantage is that this method is simple, clean, independent of GW waveform, and is applicable to the existing detector network. Applying it to the mock data, we test the parity symmetry of gravity by constraining the velocity birefringence of GWs. If a nearly edge-on binary neutron-stars with observed electromagnetic counterparts at 40 Mpc is detected by the second-generation detector network, one could derive the model-independent test on the parity symmetry in gravity: the lower limit of the energy scale of parity violation can be constrained within $\mathcal{O}(10^4{\rm eV})$.

description: Developments in monsoon have caught the attention of policy makers in India. As more than half of India’s farmland remains rain-fed, monsoon decides the fate of agriculture sector output. Though the farm sector forms just one-seventh of gross domestic product, yet it provides livelihood to nearly 55 per cent of the populace. Through demand and supply inter-linkages with other sectors of the economy, India’s farm sector significantly influences economic activity. Against this backdrop, this paper seeks to validate empirically if the performance of monsoon influences economic activity in India. Employing GMM estimation, this paper finds that the former had a significant influence on the growth in real Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) for India in the period prior to 1990s. It is also argued that the influence of rainfall on economic activity seems to have diminished, especially since the 1990s, which, inter alia, may be attributed to the growing predominance of the non-agricultural sector, which is not found to be influenced significantly by monsoon variation; rise in net sown area (facilitated by an improvement in irrigation facilities), and institution of public welfare programmes, which might have helped smoothen consumption volatility. Furthermore, structural transformation in the economy, could also have altered consumption expenditure pattern in the economy resulting in declining and rising proportion of income being spent on food items and non-food items, respectively. Such a case study of the Indian economy could have implications for similarly placed agrarian economies.
Context-Aware Visual Policy Network for Fine-Grained Image Captioning

description: With the maturity of visual detection techniques, we are more ambitious in describing visual content with open-vocabulary, fine-grained and free-form language, i.e., the task of image captioning. In particular, we are interested in generating longer, richer and more fine-grained sentences and paragraphs as image descriptions. Image captioning can be translated to the task of sequential language prediction given visual content, where the output sequence forms natural language description with plausible grammar. However, existing image captioning methods focus only on language policy while not visual policy, and thus fail to capture visual context that are crucial for compositional reasoning such as object relationships (e.g., "man riding horse") and visual comparisons (e.g., "small(er) cat"). This issue is especially severe when generating longer sequences such as a paragraph. To fill the gap, we propose a Context-Aware Visual Policy network (CAVP) for fine-grained image-to-language generation: image sentence captioning and image paragraph captioning. During captioning, CAVP explicitly considers the previous visual attentions as context, and decides whether the context is used for the current word/sentence generation given the current visual attention. Compared against traditional visual attention mechanism that only fixes a single visual region at each step, CAVP can attend to complex visual compositions over time. The whole image captioning model -- CAVP and its subsequent language policy network -- can be efficiently optimized end-to-end by using an actor-critic policy gradient method. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of CAVP by state-of-the-art performances on MS-COCO and Stanford captioning datasets, using various metrics and sensible visualizations of qualitative visual context.

Design of Land Administration and Title Registration Model Based on Blockchain Technology
Creators: name: Cleverence Kombe
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Information Systems
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Land administration and title registration system is the system for storing land title information and managing
transactions involving land titles. Due to the sensitivity of land issues, land administration and title registration
system should be strong to avoid any document forgery, available all the time, and take a short time to complete
tasks. Thus, this study aims at designing a model for such system based on blockchain technology. The proposed
model is designed using UML diagrams and then tested for verification using statistical usage models (Markov
chains). The proposed model integrates the Integrated Land Management Information System (ILMIS) with
factom and bitcoin blockchains which enables encryption of information from ILMIS to get the fingerprint
information of each land title and store it to the blockchains. The model further encrypts the land information
from ILMIS when needed and then compare it with fingerprints from blockchains for verification. Such
implementation of the proposed model will help ILMIS to have the capability of providing tamper proof for
stored data, providing the self-notarization mechanism, and availability of evidence for the land title from
distributed databases. Furthermore, the society is expected to benefit from this study as the time and cost for
registering land title will decrease and the possibilities of a piece of land having more than one owner will not be
there.
Power laws, scale invariance, and generalized Frobenius series: Applications to Newtonian and TOV stars near criticality

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We present a self-contained formalism for analyzing scale invariant differential equations. We first cast the scale invariant model into its equidimensional and autonomous forms, find its fixed points, and then obtain power-law background solutions. After linearizing about these fixed points, we find a second linearized solution, which provides a distinct collection of power laws characterizing the deviations from the fixed point. We prove that generically there will be a region surrounding the fixed point in which the complete general solution can be represented as a generalized Frobenius-like power series with exponents that are integer multiples of the exponents arising in the linearized problem. This Frobenius-like series can be viewed as a variant of Liapunov's expansion theorem. As specific examples we apply these ideas to Newtonian and relativistic isothermal stars and demonstrate (both numerically and analytically) that the solution exhibits oscillatory power-law behaviour as the star approaches the point of collapse. These series solutions extend classical results. (Lane, Emden, and Chandrasekhar in the Newtonian case; Harrison, Thorne, Wakano, and Wheeler in the relativistic case.) We also indicate how to extend these ideas to situations where fixed points may not exist -- either due to ``monotone'' flow or due to the presence of limit cycles. Monotone flow generically leads to logarithmic deviations from scaling, while limit cycles generally lead to discrete self-similar solutions.

description: The fuel consumption of vehicles used in the municipal waste collection was analyzed. A simple, but useful method was developed to estimate the fuel consumption of the vehicles for the transporting and collecting work phases. The results show the consumption norms of the typical collecting vehicles, working in a rural environment. It can be seen that the three-axis cars consume 20% more fuel while transporting and 30% more fuel while collecting waste. The efficiency of their utilization is much better, because they are able to collect 97% more waste, than the two axis ones. For rural service the average time requirement to reach the service area is around 30% of the workday, so the use of three-axis vehicles makes a significant saving. The saving in fuel means not only financial benefit but plays a very important role in decreasing the emission of CO2.

description: Degradation data, frequently along with low-dimensional covariate information such as scalar-type covariates, are widely used for asset reliability analysis. Recently, many high-dimensional covariates such as functional and image covariates have emerged with advances in sensor technology, containing richer information that can be used for degradation assessment. In this article, motivated by a physical effect that microstructures of dual-phase advanced high strength steel strongly influence steel degradation, we propose a two-stage material degradation model using the material microstructure image as a covariate. In Stage 1, we show that the microstructure image covariate can be reduced to a functional covariate while statistical properties of the image are preserved up to the second order. In Stage 2, a novel functional covariate degradation model is proposed, based on which the time-to-failure distribution in terms of degradation level passages is derived. A penalized least squares estimation method is developed to obtain the closed-form point estimator of model parameters. Analytical inferences on interval estimation of the model parameters, the mean degradation levels, and the distribution of the time-to-failure are also developed. Simulation studies are implemented to validate the developed methods. Physical experiments on dual-phase advanced high strength steel are designed and conducted to demonstrate the proposed model. The results show that a significant improvement is achieved for material failure prediction by using material microstructure images compared with multiple benchmark models.

description: Mitigating climate change will require innovation in energy technologies. Policy makers are faced with the question of how to promote this innovation, and whether to focus on a few technologies or to spread their bets. We present results on the extent to which public R&D might shape the future cost of energy technologies by 2030. We bring together three major expert elicitation efforts carried out by researchers at UMass Amherst, Harvard, and FEEM, covering nuclear, solar, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), bioelectricity, and biofuels. The results show experts believe that there will be decreasing returns to R&D and report median cost reductions around 20% for most of the technologies at the R&D budgets considered. Although the returns to solar and CCS R&D show some promise, the lack of consensus across studies, and the larger magnitude of the R&D investment involved in these technologies, calls for caution when defining what technologies would benefit the most from additional public R&D. Indeed, the wide divergence of opinions suggests that it is still too early to pick winners and that a broad portfolio of investments may be the best option.

description: Ultrathin semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) with at least one dimension below their exciton Bohr radius receive a rapidly increasing attention due to their unique physicochemical properties such as strong quantum confinement, large surface-to-volume ratio, and giant oscillator strength. These superior properties highly depend on the shape and crystal phase of semiconductor NCs. Slight changes in the shape and phase of NCs can cause significant changes in their properties. Therefore, it is crucial to controllably synthesize semiconductor NCs. Here, we demonstrate not only the synthesis of robust well-defined ultrathin ZnS nanoplatelets (NPLs) with excitonic absorption and emission, but also the precise shape and phase control of ZnS NCs based on a soft template strategy. The key feature of our approach is the tuning of the sulfur precursor amount, resulting in a simultaneous shape/phase transformation between wurtzite (WZ) ZnS NPLs and zinc blende (ZB) ZnS nanorods (NRs) at moderate temperatures (150 degree). UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra reveal very distinct optical properties between WZ-ZnS NPLs and ZB-ZnS NRs. UV-vis absorption spectra of WZ-ZnS NPLs clearly exhibit a sharp excitonic peak that is not observed in ZB-ZnS NRs. Besides, the PL characterization shows that WZ-ZnS NPLs have a narrow excitonic emission peak (292 nm), while the ZB-ZnS NRs exhibit a broad collective emission band consisting of four emission peaks (335, 359, 395, and 468 nm). The appearance of excitonic features in the absorption spectra of ZnS NPLs is explained by interband electronic transitions, which is simulated in the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The presented simple and effective synthetic strategy opens a new path to synthesize further NCs with shape and phase control for advanced applications in electronics and photonics.

description: To study how emissions regulations impact supply chain operations, we consider a supply chain where a supplier produces and sells raw material to a manufacturer, who then uses it to produce a final product to satisfy random market demand. Both firms are equipped with two production technologies, one of which is costlier, but generates fewer emissions than the other. Each firm’s emissions are capped by the amount of allowances it holds, and if the firm over-emits, it pays a penalty. We solve the optimal solutions of a centralized system, both jointly regulated and separately regulated, and a decentralized system. We find that the relationships between the emissions abatement cost, the emissions penalty, and the salvage value of the allowance largely determine the technology choice of the firms. For the centralized system, joint regulation results in a higher profit than separate regulation, but it may not result in a larger production quantity. For the decentralized system, under a more stringent regulation (fewer allowances), the firms may produce more while not using more of the green technology; and if the manufacturer has fewer allowances, the manufacturer and the whole chain may be better-off. The numerical study further illustrates that adding a green technology is always economically beneficial to the centralized supply chain, although it may hurt the manufacturer and the decentralized chain. In the scenarios where only either the supplier or the manufacturer is regulated, we show analytically that the centralized system produces more, uses more green technology, and generates more emissions than the decentralized one. More interestingly, the decentralized supply chain with the regulated supplier produces more, has a higher profit, and emits more than the supply chain with the regulated manufacturer when the emissions intensities of the production technologies are the same for the firms.

description: Land administration and title registration system is the system for storing land title information and managing
transactions involving land titles. Due to the sensitivity of land issues, land administration and title registration
system should be strong to avoid any document forgery, available all the time, and take a short time to complete
tasks. Thus, this study aims at designing a model for such system based on blockchain technology. The proposed
model is designed using UML diagrams and then tested for verification using statistical usage models (Markov
chains). The proposed model integrates the Integrated Land Management Information System (ILMIS) with
factom and bitcoin blockchains which enables encryption of information from ILMIS to get the fingerprint
information of each land title and store it to the blockchains. The model further encrypts the land information
from ILMIS when needed and then compare it with fingerprints from blockchains for verification. Such
implementation of the proposed model will help ILMIS to have the capability of providing tamper proof for
stored data, providing the self-notarization mechanism, and availability of evidence for the land title from
distributed databases. Furthermore, the society is expected to benefit from this study as the time and cost for
registering land title will decrease and the possibilities of a piece of land having more than one owner will not be
there.

description: The paper investigates the macroeconomic and financial effects of oil prices shocks in the euro area since its creation in 1999, with a special focus on the recent slump. The analysis is carried out episode by episode, within a time-varying parameter framework, consistent with the view that "not all the oil price shocks are alike", yet without imposing any a priori identification assumption. We find evidence of recessionary effects triggered not only by oil price hikes, but also by oil price slumps in some cases, likewise for the most recent episode, which is also rising deflation risk and financial distress. In addition through uncertainty effects, the current slump might then be depressing aggregate demand by increasing the real interest rate, as ECB monetary policy is already conducted at the zero lower bound. The increase in real money balances following the slump points to the accommodation of the shock by the ECB, concurrent with the implementation of the Quantitative Easing policy (Q.E.). Yet, in so far as Q.E failed to generate inflationary expectations within the current and expected environment of soft oil prices, the case for a more expansionary use of fiscal policy than in the past would become compelling, in order to counteract the deflationary and recessionary threats to the euro area.

description: This study investigates the structures, energetics, and unimolecular reactions of glutathione complexes with various metal cations, including alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and heavy metals. Using sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy, combined with computational techniques, the research explores the coordination chemistry and dissociation dynamics of these metal-GSH complexes. Additionally, the study examines the dissociation behaviors of protonated amino acid-GSH complexes, correlating these findings with proton affinity data and kinetic parameters. Chapter 2 explores SORI-CID and IRMPD (or vibrational) spectroscopy results for [M(GSH)]⁺ complexes (where M is an alkali metal cation), highlighting differences in fragmentation behaviors linked to metal size and charge density. The study reveals that smaller cations like Li⁺ and Na⁺ lead to extensive fragmentation of glutathione, whereas larger cations like Rb⁺ and Cs⁺ predominantly result in the loss of glutathione itself. The lowest energy alkali metal-glutathione complexes are tetracoordinated, with the metal binding to the amino nitrogen and three carbonyl oxygens, while O2 interacts with the thiol and forms a hydrogen bond with the amine. The vibrational spectra for these structures are in good agreement with experimental IR spectra. In Chapter 3, the fragmentation patterns of doubly charged metal glutathione complexes are analyzed. SORI-CID results for metals including Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Zn²⁺ reveal fragmentation pathways such as the loss of water, ammonia, and pyroglutamic acid. The IRMPD spectra and computational models offer detailed structural insights, showing that metal coordination affects the binding geometry and stability of these complexes. Chapter 4 investigates the dissociation dynamics of protonated glutathione complexes with various amino acids using BIRD experiments. Temperature-dependent studies reveal that arginine, with its high proton affinity, shows the most rapid dissociation, while lysine exhibits slower kinetics. The findings underscore the influence of amino acid side chain properties on dissociation mechanisms and provide a comprehensive understanding of their stability and reactivity. Overall, this thesis integrates experimental and computational approaches to elucidate the structural and dynamic properties of metal-GSH and amino acid-glutathione complexes, offering valuable insights into their fragmentation patterns, structural configurations, and reactivity under varying conditions.

Rapid and efficient mass collection by a supersonic cloud-cloud collision as a major mechanism of high-mass star formation

description: A supersonic cloud-cloud collision produces a shock-compressed layer which leads to formation of high-mass stars via gravitational instability. We carried out a detailed analysis of the layer by using the numerical simulations of magneto-hydrodynamics which deal with colliding molecular flows at a relative velocity of 20 km s$^{-1}$ (Inoue & Fukui 2013). Maximum density in the layer increases from 1000 cm$^{-3}$ to more than $10^{5}$ cm$^{-3}$ within 0.3 Myrs by compression, and the turbulence and the magnetic field in the layer are amplified by a factor of $\sim 5$, increasing the mass accretion rate by two orders of magnitude to more than $10^{-4}$ $M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The layer becomes highly filamentary due to gas flows along the magnetic field lines, and dense cores are formed in the filaments. The massive dense cores have size and mass of 0.03 -- 0.8 pc and 8 -- 50 $M_{\odot}$ and they are usually gravitationally unstable. The mass function of the dense cores is significantly top-heavy as compared with the universal IMF, indicating that the cloud-cloud collision triggers preferentially the formation of O and early B stars. We argue that the cloud-cloud collision is a versatile mechanism which creates a variety of stellar clusters from a single O star like RCW120 and M20 to tens of O stars of a super star cluster like RCW38 and a mini-starburst W43. The core mass function predicted by the present model is consistent with the massive dense cores obtained by recent ALMA observations in RCW38 (Torii et al. 2019) and W43 (Motte et al. 2018) considering the increasing evidence for collision-triggered high-mass star formation, we argue that cloud-cloud collision is a major mechanism of high mass star formation.

description: We present the results of fully 3-D hydrodynamic simulations of the gravitational collapse of isolated, turbulent molecular cloud cores. Starting from initial states of hydrostatic equilibrium, we follow the collapse of both singular and nonsingular logatropic cores until the central protostar has accreted > 90% of the total available mass. We find that, in the collapse of a singular core with access to a finite mass reservoir, the mass of the central protostar increases as M_acc proportional to t^4 until it has accreted about 35% of the total available mass. For nonsingular cores of fiducial masses 1, 2.5, and 5 M_solar, we find that protostellar accretion proceeds slowly prior to the formation of a singular density profile. Immediately thereafter, the accretion rate in each case increases to about 10^{-6} M_solar/yr, for cores with central temperature T_c= 10 K and truncation pressure P_s = 1.3E5 k_B K/cm^3. It remains at that level until half the available mass has been accreted. After this point, the accretion rate falls steadily as the remaining material is accreted onto the growing protostellar core. We suggest that this general behaviour of the protostellar accretion rate may be indicative of evolution from the Class 0 to the Class I protostellar phase.

description: K.R.W. Brewer suggests that when estimating the total of a single item for which there is control (auxiliary) data, one employ a ratio or regression estimator and draw the sample using probabilities proportional to the control values raised to a power between 1/2 and 1. Brewer's sample selection scheme can be expanded to multiple targets by drawing overlapping Poisson samples for a number of items simultaneously using permanent random numbers (PRN's). W e can call the result an example of "Maximal Brewer Selection" (MBS). This paper develops the theory behind MBS and the calibration estimator rendering it practical. It goes on to describe ho w this estimation strategy is being used at the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
