description: The large systems of complex linear equations that are generated in QCD problems often have multiple right-hand sides (for multiple sources) and multiple shifts (for multiple masses). Deflated GMRES methods have previously been developed for solving multiple right-hand sides. Eigenvectors are generated during solution of the first right-hand side and used to speed up convergence for the other right-hand sides. Here we discuss deflating non-restarted methods such as BiCGStab. For effective deflation, both left and right eigenvectors are needed. Fortunately, with the Wilson matrix, left eigenvectors can be derived from the right eigenvectors. We demonstrate for difficult problems with kappa near kappa_c that deflating eigenvalues can significantly improve BiCGStab. We also will look at improving solution of twisted mass problems with multiple shifts. Projecting over previous solutions is an easy way to reduce the work needed.

The Political Dilemma of the Economic and Monetary Union
Creators: name: Stolowski, Piotr
Publisher: name: The Interdisciplinary Journal of International Studies
Year: 2013

description: This article examines the political dilemma faced by the Economic and Monetary Union decision-makers with regards to fiscal policy co-ordination. It argues that two alternatives are available: national fiscal policies, constrained by budgetary rules at a central level, or a federal fiscal system. The operation of both of these options is discussed in accordance with the Optimal Currency Area theory and with reference to the monetary union in Europe. The former proves to be feasible, but not desirable; whereas the latter is desirable, but not feasible.

description: Using $N=1+1$ supersymmetric extension of the three-dimensional gravity with torsion, we show that a generic black hole has no exact supersymmetries, the extremal black hole has only one, while the zero-energy black hole has two. Combining these results with the asymptotic supersymmetry algebra, we are naturally led to interpret the zero-energy black hole as the ground state of the Ramond sector, and analogously, the anti-de Sitter solution as the ground state of the Neveau-Schwartz sector.

description: We investigate the difference between the velocity Verlet and the Liouville-operator-derived (LOD) algorithms by studying two non-Hamiltonian systems, one dissipative and the other conservative, for which the Jacobian of the transformation can be determined exactly. For the two systems, we demonstrate that (1) the velocity Verlet scheme fails to integrate the former system while the first- and second-order LOD schemes succeed, (2) some first-order LOD fails to integrate the latter system while the velocity Verlet and the other first- and second-order schemes succeed. We have shown that the LOD schemes are stable for the former system by determining the explicit forms of the shadow Hamiltonians which are exactly conserved by the schemes. We have shown that Jacobian of the velocity Verlet scheme for the former system and that of the first-order LOD scheme for the latter system are always smaller than the exact values, and therefore, the schemes are unstable. The decomposition-order dependence of LOD schemes is also considered.

description: During the early months of 1990, inflation rates as reported by the International Monetary Fund, ranged from negative numbers to an annual rate of more than 1400 percent. Countries like Poland, Argentina, Yugoslavia and Brazil where the reported annual rate of inflation was above 1000 percent all had experienced high money growth, more than 2000% in Yugoslavia and more than 4000% in Argentina in 1989. A few countries like Togo and Ethiopia reported falling prices. They had experienced negative rates of money growth in the recent past.

description: Based on large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we examine the correlations along the edges of two-dimensional semi-infinite quantum critical Heisenberg spin-$1/2$ systems. In particular, we consider coupled quantum spin-dimer systems at their bulk quantum critical points, including the columnar-dimer model and the plaquette-square lattice. The alignment of the edge spins strongly affects these correlations and the corresponding scaling exponents, with remarkably similar values obtained for various quantum spin-dimer systems. We furthermore observe subtle effects on the scaling behavior from perturbing the edge spins that exhibit the genuine quantum nature of these edge states. Our observations furthermore challenge recent attempts that relate the edge spin criticality to the presence of symmetry-protected topological phases in such quantum spin systems.

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.

description: ABSTRACT

The study investigated the factors influencing diarrheal disease among under five years old children in Borama town. Diarrhea is the passage of three or more loose or liquid stools per day, or more frequently than normal for the individual. Globally, about 6 million children die each year from diarrheal diseases, with most deaths occurring in the developing countries. Nearly 22% of all deaths among under-five years in sub-Saharan Africa and 23% in south Asia are caused by diarrheal diseases in the year 2000. In Somaliland, thediarrheal deaths reached 19% of the 58% of reported diagnosed cases of diarrhea about 49% of 2009 in Borama town. But despite this quantitative increase, the incidence of diarrhea in under five years old on latrine, garbage management, hand washing and water supply remained largely un assessed. Guided by the Theory of Health Belief Model, the studywas conducted through a cross-sectional survey research design,using a stratified and simple random sample. Data was collected from a stratified random sample 196 mothers in Borama town in February,

2016 and analyzed using chi-square goodness of fit method. The study found that the latrine

[χ2 (9, N = 192) = 14.191, p = .116, C = .262], and water supply that [χ2 (9, N = 192) = 8.999, p

= .437, C = .212] had no significant influence incidence diarrhea disease among under five years old children in Borama town. But garbage management [χ2 (9, N = 192) = 18.799, p =

.027, C = .299], and hand washing that [χ2 (6, N = 192) = 10.640, p = .031, C = .139] had significant influence on incidence of diarrhea disease among under five years old children in Borama town. The study concluded that the major factor influencing Diarrhea in under-five years old children in Borama town was garbage management. The study recommended the Ministry of Health should create a team to design and supervise building of latrines and develop environmental sanitation policy to improve maintenance and sanitation of latrine. It should increase funds allocated for garbage management and develop proper systems of waste disposal and storage. Further, it should provide education to families and caretakers across country on hand washing so that all children can obtain the health benefits from proper hand washing. Lastly, the government should improve the quality and quantities of water supply. Finally, the study recommends that a study be conducted on the predisposing factors to vibrio cholera which is also very common diseases in Borama town, yet easily preventable in under five years old.

description: We define new symbol classes for pseudodifferntial operators and investigate their pseudodifferential calculus. The symbol classes are parametrized by commutative convolution algebras. To every solid convolution algebra over a lattice we associate a symbol class. Then every operator with such a symbol is almost diagonal with respect to special wave packets (coherent states or Gabor frames), and the rate of almost diagonalization is described precisely by the underlying convolution algebra. Furthermore, the corresponding class of pseudodifferential operators is a Banach algebra of bounded operators on $L^2 $. If a version of Wiener's lemma holds for the underlying convolution algebra, then the algebra of pseudodifferential operators is closed under inversion. The theory contains as a special case the fundamental results about Sjöstrand's class and yields a new proof of a theorem of Beals about the Hörmander class of order 0.

description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important effectors in mediating host-pathogen interaction. MiR-2005 is observed to be involved in immune response processes in Apostichopus japonicus. In the present study, the putative target genes of miR-2005 in A. japonicus coelomocytes were predicted by bioinformatics analysis of transcriptome database and PCR approaches. A total of 506 potential targets were screened, and 187 targets were annotated. Several immune-related target genes were identified in this study, such as SLI3, CFHR5, FGL, A2ML, and Rab9al. The expression patterns of miR-2005 and its potential targets were validated by quantitative real-time PCR in Vibrio splendidus challenged A. japonicus. For further characterization, an overexpression experiment of miR-2005 at cellular levels was applied. Accordingly, significant negative correlation expression profiles were detected between miR-2005 and two candidates targets, suggesting that SLI3 and CHRP5 showed high possibility to be the targets of miR-2005 in A. japonicus. Altogether, this study will enhance our understanding in the context of miR-2005 modulating the interaction of A. japonicus after being challenged by V. splendidus.

description: The latest PHENIX results for particle production are presented in this paper. A suppression of the yield of high p_t (transverse momentum) hadrons in central Au+Au collisions is found. In contrast, direct photons are not suppressed in central Au+Au collisions and no suppression of high p_t particles can be seen in d+Au collisions. This leads to the conclusion that the dense medium formed in central Au+Au collisions is responsible for the suppression. It is as well found, that the properties of this medium are similar to the one of a liquid. Further measurements provide information about the chiral dynamics of the system.

description: The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the most lethal virus that infect shrimps, generating economic losses for aquaculture industry. Osmotic stress compromises the immune response in WSSV-infected shrimp. Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH E.C. 1.2.1.8) is an enzyme that participates in the regulation of osmotic stress, and that is up-regulated in shrimp exposed to changes in salinity concentration. However, different gene expression studies in shrimp during WSSV infection focused in changes on the mechanisms of energy production and cellular defense genes, without considering genes sensitive to osmotic variation. In this work, we evaluate the mRNA levels and activity of the BADH enzyme, as well as glycine betaine (GB) accumulation, during WSSV infection in white shrimp. Shrimps were inoculated with WSSV and samples from the hepatopancreas were collected at 24 and 48 h post-infection. Our results demonstrate that WSSV infection increases the expression of BADH 1.5-fold at 48h and the enzyme activity increase 4.28- and 4.59-fold at 24 and 48 h, respectively. Also, higher accumulation of GB was observed during WSSV infection. These results suggest that BADH could participate in the cellular response during WSSV infection in white shrimp.

description: We develop a statistical model of browsing behavior by predicting the number of web pages, in a particular category, that are viewed by a user in a single web session. The purpose of this analysis is to better understand web browsing behavior, and to help predict which sessions are likely to result in retail visits. A single record in our database consists of the number of web pages viewed by a user during a single session from each of the following categories: portals, services, entertainment, retail, auctions, adult, and others. This dataset can be characterized as multivariate count data, where many of the counts are zero. We consider the use of Poisson and discretized tobit models, and contrast both univariate and multivariate versions of these models. Additionally, as our dataset is characterized by a great deal of heterogeneity in usage across users and also a good deal of persistence in viewership, we propose a new multivariate tobit model with a mixture process whose multiple states are governed by an unobserved (hidden) Markov chain. We find that users move between sessions that are characterized by browsing behavior that is focused in specific categories and sessions characterized by a variety of categories being viewed.

description: The effect of Steinernema carpocapsae (IRA18) infection was studied on the mortality, immunity and antioxidant responses of Glyphodes pyloalis Walker larvae. The LC50 value of 582.9 infective juvenile per mL with confidence limit of 359.1-811.5 was obtained via bioassay against the larvae. Injection of S. carpocapsae increased the number of total hemocytes after 1-6 h compared to intact and Ringer-injected larvae while the highest numbers of plasmatocyte and granulocytes were recorded after 1 and 3 h. Although intact larvae had a steady activity of phenoloxidase at different time intervals but those injected by S. carpocapsae showed the elevated enzymatic activity at 3-12 h. Nematode injection significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase compared to intact and Ringer-injected larvae, while no significant difference was observed in peroxidase activity. The injection with S. carpocapsae caused the highest activity of glutathione s-transferase using CDNB as reagent, but the enzymatic assay with DCNB showed no statistical differences among treatments. Also, activities of ascorbate peroxidase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase significantly increased in the nematode-injected larvae. Intact and Ringer-injected larvae showed no statistical differences in the concentration of malondialdehyde but the highest amount was recorded in nematode-injected larvae. Results of our study indicate that native isolate of S. carpocapsae cause mortality on the larvae of G. pyloalis and It interferes in the immune and antioxidant responses.

description: In an increasingly polarized world, demagogues who reduce complexity down to simple arguments based on emotion are gaining in popularity. Are opinions and online discussions falling into demagoguery? In this work, we aim to provide computational tools to investigate this question and, by doing so, explore the nature and complexity of online discussions and their space of opinions, uncovering where each participant lies. More specifically, we present a modeling framework to construct latent representations of opinions in online discussions which are consistent with human judgements, as measured by online voting. If two opinions are close in the resulting latent space of opinions, it is because humans think they are similar. Our modeling framework is theoretically grounded and establishes a surprising connection between opinions and voting models and the sign-rank of a matrix. Moreover, it also provides a set of practical algorithms to both estimate the dimension of the latent space of opinions and infer where opinions expressed by the participants of an online discussion lie in this space. Experiments on a large dataset from Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Sports, and the Newsroom app suggest that unidimensional opinion models may often be unable to accurately represent online discussions, provide insights into human judgements and opinions, and show that our framework is able to circumvent language nuances such as sarcasm or humor by relying on human judgements instead of textual analysis.

description: Chargeless massive scalar fields are studied in the spacetime of Born-Infeld dilaton black holes (BIDBHs). We first separate the massive covariant Klein-Gordon equation into radial and angular parts and obtain the exact solution of the radial equation in terms of the confluent Heun functions. Using the obtained radial solution, we show how one gets the exact quasinormal modes (QNMs) for some particular cases. We also solve the Klein-Gordon equation in the spacetime of BIDBH with a cosmic string in which we point out the effect of the conical deficit on the BIDBH. The analytical solutions of the radial and angular parts are obtained in terms of the confluent Heun functions. Finally, we study the quantization of the BIDBH. While doing this, we also discuss the Hawking radiation in terms of the effective temperature.

description: Extreme market outcomes are often followed by a lack of liquidity and a lack of trade. This market collapse seems particularly acute for markets where traders rely heavily on a specific empirical model such as in derivative markets like the market for mortgage backed securities or credit derivatives. Moreover, the observed behavior of traders and institutions that places a large emphasis on \worst-case scenarios" through the use of \stress testing" and \value-at-risk" seems different than Savage expected utility would suggest. In this paper, we capture model-uncertainty using an Epstein and Wang (1994) uncertainty-averse utility function with an ambiguous underlying asset-returns distribution. To explore the connection of uncertainty with liquidity, we specify a simple market where a monopolist financial intermediary makes a market for a propriety derivative security. The market-maker chooses bid and ask prices for the derivative, then, conditional on trade in this market, chooses an optimal portfolio and consumption. We explore how uncertainty can increase the bid-ask spread and, hence, reduces liquidity. Our infinite-horizon example produces short, dramatic decreases in liquidity even though the underlying environment is stationary. We show how these liquidity crises are closely linked to the uncertainty aversion effect on the optimal portfolio. Effectively, the uncertainty aversion can, at times, limit the ability of the market-maker to hedge a position and thus reduces the desirability of trade, and hence, liquidity.

description: The silkworm, Bombyx mori has great economic and scientific value, as it has long been exploited as a primary silk producer and as a model system for lepidopterans and arthropod studies. This species is highly susceptible to microbial diseases that affect quality and quantity of silk, thereby causing huge economical losses. Insects have developed efficient innate immune system to fight against microbial pathogens. The innate immune system plays a crucial biological role in the limitation of microbial infections by using different immune strategies such as antimicrobial peptides production (AMPs), reactive oxygen species generation and melanin formation. So far, many studies identified different biological factors, which are considered to be involve in the regulation of these biochemical processes in B. mori. Here, we describe, current knowledge on the molecular patterns of various immune factors and also highlight their molecular mechanism of action in the limitation of viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens in B. mori. Furthermore, we discussed different strategies to improve the immune responses of silkworm species. This review will be helpful to understand the molecular aspects of immune factors, and their regulatory mechanism to control microbial diseases in the economically important insect species, B. mori.

description: Recent advances in deep neural networks have enabled algorithms to compose music that is comparable to music composed by humans. However, few algorithms allow the user to generate music with tunable parameters. The ability to tune properties of generated music will yield more practical benefits for aiding artists, filmmakers, and composers in their creative tasks. In this paper, we introduce DeepJ - an end-to-end generative model that is capable of composing music conditioned on a specific mixture of composer styles. Our innovations include methods to learn musical style and music dynamics. We use our model to demonstrate a simple technique for controlling the style of generated music as a proof of concept. Evaluation of our model using human raters shows that we have improved over the Biaxial LSTM approach.

description: Poröse organische Materialien besitzen aufgrund ihres Aufbaus nach einem Baukastenprinzip eine enorme Vielfalt potenzieller Monomere. Zusätzlich besteht dank des organischen Grundgerüsts die Möglichkeit der einfachen Funktionalisierung mithilfe bekannter Reaktionen. Trotz oder gerade aufgrund der großen Vielseitigkeit sind noch nicht alle Anwendungsgebiete solcher Materialien erschlossen. In dieser Arbeit wurden verschiedene poröse organische Verbindungen hergestellt, funktionalisiert und hinsichtlich ihrer potenziellen Anwendungsgebiete untersucht. Der Fokus lag dabei vor allem auf der Isolierung biogener Substanzen aus der wässrigen Fermentation von Biomasse. In diesem Zusammenhang konnte gezeigt werden, dass ein hochvernetztes Polymer (HCP) in der Lage ist Milchsäure mit hoher Selektivität zu adsorbieren. Durch den Einbau von Fluorbenzol konnte das HCP funktionalisiert und somit eine Änderung der Polarität des Materials erreicht werden. Besonders für weitere Adsorptionsanwendungen kann eine solche Funktionalisierung vielversprechend sein. Des Weiteren wurde in dieser Arbeit die Synthese eines organischen Polymers aus der Cyclotrimerisierung (OFC) optimiert und der Einsatz des Materials in verschiedenen Anwendungen untersucht. Mit dieser Verbindung lag der Fokus dank seiner schmalen Porengrößenverteilung auf der Herstellung von semipermeablen Mixed-Matrix-Membranen. Zusätzlich zu diesen Untersuchungen wurde eine kommerzielle Membran in der pH-abhängigen Trennung verschiedener Carbonsäuren aus einer wässrigen Glucose-Lösung erfolgreich eingesetzt und somit das hohe Potenzial membranbasierter Trennmethoden aufgezeigt.

In this note we extend this map to $W_{KP}^{(q)}$, a recently introduced one-parameter deformation of $W_{KP}$---the second hamiltonian structure of the KP hierarchy. We use this to give a short proof that $W_\infty$ is the symmetry algebra of additional symmetries of the KP equation.

description: Our research allowed us to make several predictions regarding the direction of the mobile computing industry. We believe the following developments are likely to occur in this industry within the next several years: • The competitive advantage of the current players in the mobile computing industry is directly linked to the degree of control of the three complementary assets—handset design, applications, and established customer relationships. • Apple’s central control point is the Application Store. • Similar to the PC market, we could see the emergence of an intermediate (java-like) layer that will permit applications to be run on varying platforms. • The differentiating capabilities of hardware will become marginal due to the decreasing rate of innovation and the more rapid rate of copying. • We will see a battle for one standardized operating system that will dominate the application market. • Application distribution is a fast cycle business, and most applications will become commonplace and available on most smartphones. • Applications in the ‘Combination’, ‘Networking’, and ‘Product Supporters’ categories are better positioned to garner rents. • New and platform-independent application distribution models are likely to emerge. • The platform creator, in a closed source environment, possesses the clear control point. In the case of the iPhone Application Ecosystem, Apple owns the only application being reused consistently—the App Store itself. • Strong forces could drive convergence to a standardized operating system and a single handheld for private and business use.

The Landau-Ginzburg description provides an easy and direct access to the geometry of the singularity associated to the non-compact Gepner models. Using these tools, we are able to give an intuitive account of the chiral rings of the models, and of the massless moduli in particular. By studying orbifolds of the singular linear dilaton models, we describe mirror pairs of non-compact Gepner models by suitably adapting the Greene-Plesser construction of mirror pairs for the compact case. For particular models, we take a large level, low curvature limit in which we can analyze corrections to a flat space orbifold approximation of the non-compact Gepner models. This gives rise to a counting of moduli which differs from the toric counting in a subtle way.

description: Purpose: This project assessed the impact of a motel voucher assistance program on hospital readmission rates at 30-and 90-days after initial discharge as well as the staff’s perceived barriers to the program for improvement of patient outcomes. Methods: This program evaluation was completed through retrospective chart reviews of patients who received the voucher in 2019 and were homeless at the time of discharge. An anonymous staff survey was distributed to clinic staff to assess program satisfaction and perceived barriers. Data was analyzed to report back to stakeholders and formal recommendations were developed. Results: Nearly half of the patients who were homeless and provided with a motel voucher returned to the hospital within 30 days of discharge and 25% returned at both 30- and 90-days after their initial discharge. The top primary admission was cardiac related and subsequent admission or ER visit diagnosis was categorized as other. Staff identified that lack of resources and absence of a standardized workflow places the multidisciplinary care team at a disadvantage to address all the needs of homeless patients. Implication on practice: Patients experiencing homelessness face many challenges that impact their overall health status. Advance practice providers must assess and consider the impact of SDOH on patients’ outcomes. Further interventions or programs should be evaluated to develop strategic plans to assist homeless patients.

description: Carabids are of special interest as environmental quality assessment indicators of exposure to xenobiotic and for pest control. In agroecosystems, they can be exposed to a wide range of pathogens and environmental pollution exerting a stronger selection on their innate immune systems. Therefore, information on species-specific immunocompetence is necessary to complete the ecological framework of ground beetles. In this study, cellular and humoral responses were characterized in adults of Harpalus (Pseudoophonus) rufipes (De Geer, 1774) to define a baseline knowledge for future ecotoxicological studies. The circulating hemocytes were characterized by light and transmission electron microscopy and in vivo assay performed by injecting latex beads to identify phagocytizing hemocytes. Ultrastructural analyses revealed four morphologically distinct types of circulating hemocytes: prohemocytes, plasmatocytes, granular cells and oenocytoids. Differential hemocyte counts showed that plasmatocytes and granular cells were the most abundant circulating cell types and granular cells exhibited phagocytic activity following immune challenge with latex beads. Mitotic figures and non-differentiated hemocytes observed under light microscopy indicate a continuous cell turnover in the hemolymph. Melanotic nodules found 2h after the immune challenge were formed to immobilize the latex beads. Phenoloxidase (PO) assays revealed an increase of basal PO activity in hemolymph after immune system activation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, the LPS-stimulated adults showed no significant variation in the lysozyme-like enzyme activity in hemolymph. Based on these results, H. rufipes displays a rapid, non-specific immune response involving cellular and humoral effectors that both sequester and clear pathogens.

Shifting Power: US Hegemony and the Media

description: US hegemony has been the most significant aspect of international relations since the fall of the Soviet Union. The past decade has seen the majority of the world shift under the cultural, economic and military influence of the US. This staggering and as yet unchecked power is in large part gained not through coercion but through persuasion. This ability to convince other actors in the world to act in a way that is beneficial to US interests is consistent with traditional Gramscian notions of hegemony. The content of the global media, as one of the primary disseminators of the hegemon's message inside civil society, should provide insight into the overall debate occurring within it. Thus an examination of the content of the global media leading up to the recent US invasion of Iraq could provide some insight into the relative strength of the global hegemon. The results of this study clearly suggest that the US’s “power to define” is in decline and that the hegemon is in the midst of a crisis of authority that could be a sign of its irreversible decay.

description: In Codice Ratio is a research project to study tools and techniques for analyzing the contents of historical documents conserved in the Vatican Secret Archives (VSA). In this paper, we present our efforts to develop a system to support the transcription of medieval manuscripts. The goal is to provide paleographers with a tool to reduce their efforts in transcribing large volumes, as those stored in the VSA, producing good transcriptions for significant portions of the manuscripts. We propose an original approach based on character segmentation. Our solution is able to deal with the dirty segmentation that inevitably occurs in handwritten documents. We use a convolutional neural network to recognize characters and language models to compose word transcriptions. Our approach requires minimal training efforts, making the transcription process more scalable as the production of training sets requires a few pages and can be easily crowdsourced. We have conducted experiments on manuscripts from the Vatican Registers, an unreleased corpus containing the correspondence of the popes. With training data produced by 120 high school students, our system has been able to produce good transcriptions that can be used by paleographers as a solid basis to speedup the transcription process at a large scale.

description: We consider a simple linear reversible isomerization reaction A B under subdiffusion described by continuous time random walks (CTRW). The reactants' transformations take place independently on the motion and are described by constant rates. We show that the form of the ensuing system of mesoscopic reaction-subdiffusion is somewhat unusual: the equation giving the time derivative of one reactant concentration, say A(x,t), contains the terms depending not only on Laplacian A, but also on Laplacian B, i.e. depends also on the transport operator of another reactant. Physically this is due to the fact that several transitions from A to B and back may take place at one site before the particle jumps.

description: The recent economic downturn has seen many construction companies in Northern Ireland look to secure work in Great Britain to maintain their operations. A direct consequence of this has been an increase in the number of workers, both professionals and trades, who are now commuting to Great Britain for work; that is, spending at least five consecutive days away from home as part of their regular work schedules. Here, ten exploratory, in-depth semi-structured interviews were held with Northern Ireland construction workers currently travelling to Great Britain for work. Data was transcribed and analysed using cognitive mapping software. Findings revealed that workers struggle with tiredness and fatigue, suffer from depression and loneliness, missing family and friends, which can lead to increased drug and alcohol consumption, and use of prostitutes. The use of hotels also limits workers ability to cook for themselves and so eat healthily, as well as reducing social interaction, encouraging workers into hotel bars and pubs as shared social spaces, again influencing levels of alcohol and type of food consumption. Recommendations are made for the care of those on such schedules, to mitigate such negative impacts on worker health and wellbeing.

description: Mixed logical/linear programming (MLLP) is an extension of mixed integer/linear programming (MILP). It can represent the discrete elements of a problem with logical propositions and provides a more natural modeling framework than MILP. It can also have computational advantages, partly because it eliminates integer variables when they serve no purpose, provides alternatives to the traditional continuous relaxation, and applies logic processing algorithms. This paper surveys previous work and attempts to organize ideas associated with MLLP, some old and some new, into a coherent framework. It articulates potential advantages of MLLP's wider choice of modeling and solution options and illustrates some of them with computational experiments.
