description: The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect and the X-ray emission offer separate and highly complementary probes of the thermodynamics of the intracluster medium. We present JoXSZ, the first publicly available code designed to jointly fit SZ and X-ray data coming from various instruments to derive the thermodynamic profiles of galaxy clusters. JoXSZ follows a fully Bayesian forward-modelling approach, accounts for the SZ calibration uncertainty and X-ray background level systematic. It improves upon most state-of-the-art, and not publicly available, analyses because it adopts the correct Poisson-Gauss expression for the joint likelihood, makes full use of the information contained in the observations, even in the case of missing values within the datasets, has a more inclusive error budget, and adopts a consistent temperature across the various parts of the code, allowing for differences between X-ray and SZ gas mass weighted temperatures when required by the user. JoXSZ accounts for beam smearing and data analysis transfer function, accounts for the temperature and metallicity dependencies of the SZ and X-ray conversion factors, adopts flexible parametrization for the thermodynamic profiles, and on user request allows either adopting or relaxing the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium (HE). When HE holds, JoXSZ uses a physical (positive) prior on the radial derivative of the enclosed mass and derives the mass profile and overdensity radii $r_Δ$. For these reasons, JoXSZ goes beyond simple SZ and electron density fits. We illustrate the use of JoXSZ by combining Chandra and NIKA data on the high-redshift cluster CL J1226.9+3332. The code is written in Python, it is fully documented and the users are free to customize their analysis in accordance with their needs and requirements. JoXSZ is publicly available on GitHub.

description: Despite the many studies in the last decades, the low-ionisation structures (LISs) of planetary nebulae (PNe) still hold several mysteries. Recent imaging surveys have demonstrated that LISs are composed of molecular gas. Here we report H$_2$ emission in the LISs of NGC 7009 and NGC 6543 by means of very deep narrow-band H$_2$ images taken with NIRI@Gemini. The surface brightness of the H2 1-0 S(1) line is estimated to be (0.46-2.9)$\times$10$^{-4}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$ in NGC 7009 and (0.29-0.48)$\times$10$^{-4}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$ in NGC 6543, with signal-to-noise ratios of 10-42 and 3-4, respectively. These findings provide further confirmation of hidden H$_2$ gas in LISs. The emission is discussed in terms of the recent proposed diagnostic diagram R(H$_2$)=H$_2$ 1-0 S(1)/H$_2$ 2-1 S(1) versus R(Br$γ$)=H$_2$ 1-0 S(1)/Br$γ$, which was suggested to trace the mechanism responsible for the H$_2$ excitation. Comparing our observations to shock and ultraviolet (UV) molecular excitation models, as well as a number of observations compiled from the literature showed that we cannot conclude for either UV or shocks as the mechanism behind the molecular emission.

description: Az agrárszakemberek számviteli ismereteinek fogyatékosságai sok nehézséget okoztak már a döntések megalapozásában, a kapcsolattartásban, kommunikációban, a pályázatok előkészítésében és az azokkal kapcsolatos igények kielégítésében és így tovább. Ezért szükséges a lineáris képzés kezdetekor mérlegelni, vitatkozni a számviteli oktatás kívánatos és lehetséges megoldásairól. Nem szükséges bizonyítani, hogy az agrármérnökök megfelelő számviteli ismeretek híján eleve versenyhátrányban lesznek a 2007-2013. évi, majd ezt követő változásokban a globalizálódó piacokon, a versenyképesség fokozására irányuló – kihívásokkal számoló – stratégiák kidolgozásában. Ebben fontos a számviteli információk felhasználásának, a számviteli munka kereteinek, eszközeinek, területeinek a megismerése. ------------------- Owing to the reform in higher education and using the possibilities it provides, accountancy training in agricultural higher education has to be updated as well. The objective of this education has to be established by considering, on the one hand, the feature of the subject as an auxiliary science and, on the other, its importance and position within the economic sciences. Since it is an auxiliary science the purpose of the training cannot be training accountants, and the simpler syllabus of the certified accountant training cannot be adopted either. Being an auxiliary science it also follows that the accountancy syllabuses do not, by any means, have to be successive at the specific training levels, but they have to meet the purposes of the given training programme. The importance of the subject within the economic sciences is due to its feature as a summarising subject (every economic event or decision appears in the accountancy registers). Therefore in my thesis I describe a possible accountancy and finance management syllabus, which is in accordance with the main line of the training system in agricultural higher education. In this the main purpose of the training is to have agricultural students acquire the necessary skills in information flow and communication relating to accountancy.

description: This is an expository paper, focussing on the following scenario. We have two Markov chains, $\mathcal {M}$ and $\mathcal {M}'$. By some means, we have obtained a bound on the mixing time of $\mathcal {M}'$. We wish to compare $\mathcal {M}$ with $\mathcal {M}'$ in order to derive a corresponding bound on the mixing time of $\mathcal {M}$. We investigate the application of the comparison method of Diaconis and Saloff-Coste to this scenario, giving a number of theorems which characterize the applicability of the method. We focus particularly on the case in which the chains are not reversible. The purpose of the paper is to provide a catalogue of theorems which can be easily applied to bound mixing times.

description: A földrajzi árujelzőknek az 510/2006/EK rendelet szerint két típusa van, az eredetmegjelölés és a földrajzi jelzés. A földrajzi árujelzők fontosak a vidékfejlesztésben, a helyi hagyományos módszerek megőrzése révén a kevésbé kiemelt területek népességmegtartó erejének megőrzésében. Ugyanakkor segítik a fogyasztók termékválasztását azáltal, hogy a termék eredetéről világos, tömör tájékoztatást nyújtanak. A termékek így Európa-szerte ismertséget szerezhetnek, és az előállítók bevétele a minőségfejlesztő erőfeszítések viszonzásaként növekszik. Magyarországnak eddig 11 élelmiszer és mezőgazdasági termék földrajzi árujelzőjének közösségi szintű oltalom iránti kérelme van folyamatban. Fontos ennek bővítése, például a Hagyományok-Ízek-Régiók gyűjteményben szereplő termékek jó eséllyel pályázhatnak a közösségi oltalomra. Ennek azonban elengedhetetlen feltétele a termelői csoportosulások ösztönzése és támogatása. ---------------- In accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 510/2006, geographical indications of products have two types, namely designation of origin and geographical indication. Geographical indications are important in retaining the population of less developed areas through promoting rural development and preserving traditional, local methods. They help consumers to choose products by providing clear and concise information about the origin of the product. Moreover, these products become known all over Europe and their producers’ income will increase in return for real quality-improving efforts. The application for Community-level protection with geographical indication is in progress for 11 Hungarian agricultural products and foodstuffs. We consider it important to extend their range; for example, the products in the “Traditions, Tastes, Regions” programme have a good chance of receiving Community protection. However, in order to achieve this, it is essential to encourage and to support production groups.

description: In this work we present a robust interface coupling algorithm called Compact Interface quasi-Newton (CIQN). It is designed for computationally intensive applications using an MPI multi-code partitioned scheme. The algorithm allows to reuse information from previous time steps, feature that has been previously proposed to accelerate convergence. Through algebraic manipulation, an efficient usage of the computational resources is achieved by: avoiding construction of dense matrices and reduce every multiplication to a matrix-vector product and reusing the computationally expensive loops. This leads to a compact version of the original quasi-Newton algorithm. Altogether with an efficient communication, in this paper we show an efficient scalability up to 4800 cores. Three examples with qualitatively different dynamics are shown to prove that the algorithm can efficiently deal with added mass instability and two-field coupled problems. We also show how reusing histories and filtering does not necessarily makes a more robust scheme and, finally, we prove the necessity of this HPC version of the algorithm. The novelty of this article lies in the HPC focused implementation of the algorithm, detailing how to fuse and combine the composing blocks to obtain an scalable MPI implementation. Such an implementation is mandatory in large scale cases, for which the contact surface cannot be stored in a single computational node, or the number of contact nodes is not negligible compared with the size of the domain. \c{opyright} <2020> Elsevier.

description: Around a third of the rural population in India are un-electrified or have unreliable access to power. The power sector in India is currently heavily dependent on non-renewable sources of energy such as coal. However, as this practice is unsustainable, India is seeking to move on the development path of employing more renewable energy sources in power generation. India understands the global efforts needed to combat the negative effects of climate change, greenhouse gases, and exhaustible fossil fuels and aims to encourage the use of clean energy in India through subsidies, targeted policy changes, incentives and initiatives. The paper highlights the efforts of the Indian government, in spheres of program initiation, financial incentives and subsidies, R&D and training. The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) has been explained in great detail in this paper. All the case studies, presented in this paper, have been implemented with government incentives and also with the involvement of the private sector. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have been successfully used for rural electrification programmes, all around the world. The paper presents information on minigrids, microgrids, hybrid power systems and solar home lighting systems. In India, with its great solar potential and Governmental support and initiatives in rural electrification programmes through renewable sources of energy, solar energy has been gaining momentum. With the downward trend in PV cost, developments of efficient appliances, and encouragement of cost-effective strategies, PV systems have become economically attractive to the rural districts. However, there are still some villages, that have no access to power, that continue to use kerosene for lighting. The trend of kerosene use in rural India has been illustrated through case studies. These systems have also imparted many positive impacts in the lives of the rural community. In spite of all the positives, there are still some challenges that limit these systems from reaching their full potential. The paper enumerates recommendations on how to overcome these hurdles and takes a look at the future direction that solar energy can take in Indian rural electrification programmes.

description: Planet yield calculations may be used to inform the target selection strategy and science operations of space observatories. Forthcoming and proposed NASA missions, such as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), the Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx), and the Large UV/Optical/IR Surveyor (LUVOIR), are expected to be equipped with sensitive coronagraphs and/or starshades. We are developing a suite of numerical simulations to quantify the extent to which ground-based radial velocity (RV) surveys could boost the detection efficiency of direct imaging missions. In this paper, we discuss the first step in the process of estimating planet yields: generating synthetic planetary systems consistent with observed occurrence rates from multiple detection methods. In an attempt to self-consistently populate stars with orbiting planets, it is found that naive extrapolation of occurrence rates (mass, semi-major axis) results in an unrealistically large number-density of Neptune-mass planets beyond the ice-line ($a \gtrsim 5$au), causing dynamic interactions that would destabilize orbits. We impose a stability criterion for multi-planet systems based on mutual Hill radii separation. Considering the influence of compact configurations containing Jovian-mass and Neptune-mass planets results in a marked suppression in the number of terrestrial planets that can exist at large radii. This result has a pronounced impact on planet yield calculations particularly in regions accessible to high-contrast imaging and microlensing. The dynamically compact configurations and occurrence rates that we develop may be incorporated as input into joint RV and direct imaging yield calculations to place meaningful limits on the number of detectable planets with future missions.

description: The real-time dynamic environment perception has become vital for autonomous robots in crowded spaces. Although the popular voxel-based mapping methods can efficiently represent 3D obstacles with arbitrarily complex shapes, they can hardly distinguish between static and dynamic obstacles, leading to the limited performance of obstacle avoidance. While plenty of sophisticated learning-based dynamic obstacle detection algorithms exist in autonomous driving, the quadcopter's limited computation resources cannot achieve real-time performance using those approaches. To address these issues, we propose a real-time dynamic obstacle tracking and mapping system for quadcopter obstacle avoidance using an RGB-D camera. The proposed system first utilizes a depth image with an occupancy voxel map to generate potential dynamic obstacle regions as proposals. With the obstacle region proposals, the Kalman filter and our continuity filter are applied to track each dynamic obstacle. Finally, the environment-aware trajectory prediction method is proposed based on the Markov chain using the states of tracked dynamic obstacles. We implemented the proposed system with our custom quadcopter and navigation planner. The simulation and physical experiments show that our methods can successfully track and represent obstacles in dynamic environments in real-time and safely avoid obstacles. Our software is available on GitHub as an open-source ROS package.

description: The quantity of plastic released into the environment has grown considerably in the past decades. Small plastic fragments, found in cosmetics or resulted from friction and abrasion may percolate through the sludge of wastewater treatment plants and subsequently enter the hydrosphere. While the effects of plastic pollution on animals are becoming more evident, it is uncertain if the human health is affected by this phenomenon. In order to apply a precautionary approach, it is necessary to limit the quantity of such pollutants. It is therefore of utmost importance to identify the main direct and indirect sources. Also, a quantification would also be beneficial in order to classify these pollutants. The literature confirms that microplastics may reside in the environment for very long periods of time. Using the STAN2 software, this study designed a Material Flow Analysis that illustrates the main pathways of microplastics. Thus, from source to sink, they can enter the biofuel plants and later enter the pedosphere if the digestate or the sewage sludge is used as fertilizer. The lighter particles may become airborne or can be washed by water overflow. Lastly, most of the microplastics are discharged into the hydrosphere. Even the most performant wastewater treatment plants are unable to capture all the microplastics. In regions where no water treatment is in place, these particles can directly enter the oceans. They can be accidentally ingested by biota. Significant quantities of microplastics were also found in food sources. Using data from international statistics, this thesis quantified the potential amount of microplastics ingested by a human during one year. More than 5800 microplastics may be ingested by one individual from beer, honey, sea salt and seafood only. Around 99% of this amount is excreted. In conclusion, humans may actively contribute not only to an increase in the amount of microplastics, but they also contribute to a recirculation of the particles found in food.

A Magyarországon előállított hidegen préselt növényi olaj megfelel a DIN 51 605 szabvány előírásainak, így például Németországban törvényileg elismert és alkalmazható. Könnyű felismerni, hogy a repceolaj említett szabványának honosításával jelentős gázolajmennyiség lenne kiváltható. Ez nemcsak a környezettudatos gazdálkodás feltételeinek felelne meg, de Magyarország energiafüggőségén is sokat javítana. -------------- It can be stated that if cold-pressed plant oil met the requirements of the regulations, nothing could hinder its utilisation, and the income tax rebate owed to agriculture could not be denied either. The cold-pressed plant oil produced in Hungary meets the requirements of the DIN 51 605 standard and is, for example, legally recognised and usable in Germany. It is easy to see that with the naturalization of rape oil’s above mentioned standard, significant quantities of fuel would be redeemable. This would not only meet the requirements of environmentally responsible farming, but would also greatly improve Hungary’s energy dependency.

description: We numerically study the dependence of the dynamics on the range of interaction $Δ$ for the short-range square well potential. We find that, for small $Δ$, dynamics scale exactly in the same way as thermodynamics, both for Newtonian and Brownian microscopic dynamics. For interaction ranges from a few percent down to the Baxter limit, the relative location of the attractive glass line and the liquid-gas line does not depend on $Δ$. This proves that in this class of potentials, disordered arrested states (gels) can be generated only as a result of a kinetically arrested phase separation.

description: Two-dimensional hole gases in semiconductor quantum wells are promising platforms for spintronics and quantum computation but suffer from the lack of the $\bf{k}$-linear term in the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which is essential for spin manipulations without magnetism and commonly believed to be a $\bf{k}$-cubic term as the lowest order. Here, contrary to conventional wisdom, we uncover a strong and tunable $\bf{k}$-linear Rashba SOC in two-dimensional hole gases (2DHG) of semiconductor quantum wells by performing atomistic pseudopotential calculations combined with an effective Hamiltonian for a model system of Ge/Si quantum wells. Its maximal strength exceeds 120 meVÅ, comparable to the highest values reported in narrow bandgap III-V semiconductor 2D electron gases, which suffers from short spin lifetime due to the presence of nuclear spin. We also illustrate that this emergent $\bf{k}$-linear Rashba SOC is a first-order direct Rashba effect, originating from a combination of heavy-hole-light-hole mixing and direct dipolar intersubband coupling to the external electric field. These findings confirm Ge-based 2DHG to be an excellent platform towards large-scale quantum computation.

description: The microscopic model in which nodes interacting with each other are statistical systems is introduced. The nodes conditions are connected with a string of distinct microscopic configurations and depend on external parameters (pressure and temperature). In this model the consequent description of first- and second-order phase transitions is carried out and their microscopic level distinctions are analyzed. It is shown that first-order transitions occur when the configuration entropy change at nodes under transitions from dipole-active (low-symmetric) state to symmetric one is more than ln4. Otherwise the second-order transitions take place.

description: We present a novel open-source Python software package, bfieldtools, for magneto-quasistatic calculations with current densities on surfaces of arbitrary shape. The core functionality of the software relies on a stream-function representation of surface-current density and its discretization on a triangle mesh. Although this stream-function technique is well-known in certain fields, to date the related software implementations have not been published or have been limited to specific applications. With bfieldtools, we aimed to produce a general, easy-to-use and well-documented open-source software. The software package is written purely in Python; instead of explicitly using lower-level languages, we address computational bottlenecks through extensive vectorization and use of the NumPy library. The package enables easy deployment, rapid code development and facilitates application of the software to practical problems. In this paper, we describe the software package and give an extensive demonstration of its use with an emphasis on one of its main applications -- coil design.

description: The paper aims at identifying the arguments used by the French government, trade unions and agricultural policy experts in the ongoing debate on the future of the direct payments system in the European Union. The trend towards further decoupling of direct payments seems inevitable and generally beneficial, but France remains rather reluctant. It emphasizes the problems related to land abandoning in certain regions and lower production in certain branches. The paper presents recent results of simulations concerning various decoupling scenarios, elaborated by leading French research institutes in the field of agricultural economics. Furthermore, the issue of capping direct payments is discussed. Finally, the strategic guidelines of the President of the Republic of France regarding the future of the Common Agricultural Policy are quoted.

Signal events will consist of energetic electron (anti)neutrinos coming from the decay of $τ$ leptons and $b$ quarks produced in WIMP annihilation in the core of the Sun. Background contamination from atmospheric neutrinos is expected to be low, thanks to the superb angular resolution and particle identification capabilities provided by the considered experimental set-up. We evaluate the event rates predicted for an annihilating WIMP as a function of its elastic scattering cross section with nucleons. This technique is particularly useful for WIMPs lighter than $\sim100$ GeV

Mode-Locking of mobile discrete breathers

description: We study numerically synchronization phenomena of mobile discrete breathers in dissipative nonlinear lattices periodically forced. When varying the driving intensity, the breather velocity generically locks at rational multiples of the driving frequency. In most cases, the locking plateau coincides with the linear stability domain of the resonant mobile breather and the desynchronization occurs by regular appearance of type I intermittencies. However, some plateaux also show chaotic mobile breathers with locked velocity in the locking region. The addition of a small subharmonic driving tames the locked chaotic solution and enhances the stability of resonant mobile breathers.

description: Electron and hole Bloch states in gapped bilayer graphene exhibit topological orbital magnetic moments with opposite signs near the band edges, which allows for tunable valley-polarization in an out-of-plane magnetic field. This intrinsic property makes electron and hole quantum dots (QDs) in bilayer graphene interesting for valley and spin-valley qubits. Here we show measurements of the electron-hole crossover in a bilayer graphene QD, demonstrating the opposite sign of the orbital magnetic moments associated with the Berry curvature. Using three layers of metallic top gates, we independently control the tunneling barriers of the QD while tuning the occupation from the few-hole regime to the few-electron regime, crossing the displacement-field controlled band gap. The band gap is around 25 meV, while the charging energies of the electron and hole dots are between 3-5 meV. The extracted valley g-factor is around 17 and leads to opposite valley polarization for electron and hole states at moderate B-fields. Our measurements agree well with tight-binding calculations for our device.

description: Most studies of Localised Agri-Food Systems (LAFS) focus on the localised concentration of members and firms, and pay less attention to organisational factors, particularly those of an exogenous nature. This paper focuses on the role of organisation in a LAFS, assessing the efficacy of EU organisational measures aimed at strengthening the concentration of supply from the recent CAP reform 2014-2020. The paper has three sections. Part One describes the evolution of the concept of LAFS. Part Two examines the leading role played by institutions in organising relationships between firms in a LAFS. The example provided is that of the measures affecting the organisation of supply introduced by the recent CAP reform, 2014-2020. It makes particular reference to the Distretto del pomodoro da industria – Nord Italia (‘Industrial Tomato District – Northern Italy’). Part Three describes how organisational factors can lead to the creation of a LAFS, while the criterion of proximity is necessary but not sufficient.
Unidirectional subsystem symmetry in a hole-doped honeycomb-lattice Ising magnet

description: We study a model of a hole-doped collinear Ising antiferromagnet on the honeycomb lattice as a route toward the realization of subsystem symmetry. We find nearly exact conservation of dipole symmetry verified both numerically with exact diagonalization (ED) on finite clusters and analytically with perturbation theory. The emergent symmetry forbids the motion of single holes -- or fractons -- but allows hole pairs -- or dipoles -- to move freely along a one-dimensional line, the antiferromagnetic direction, of the system; in the transverse direction, both fractons and dipoles are completely localized. This presents a realization of a `unidirectional' subsystem symmetry. By studying interactions between dipoles, we argue that the subsystem symmetry is likely to continue to persist up to finite (but probably small) hole concentrations.

description: In this article, we introduce the ContentWise Impressions dataset, a collection of implicit interactions and impressions of movies and TV series from an Over-The-Top media service, which delivers its media contents over the Internet. The dataset is distinguished from other already available multimedia recommendation datasets by the availability of impressions, i.e., the recommendations shown to the user, its size, and by being open-source. We describe the data collection process, the preprocessing applied, its characteristics, and statistics when compared to other commonly used datasets. We also highlight several possible use cases and research questions that can benefit from the availability of user impressions in an open-source dataset. Furthermore, we release software tools to load and split the data, as well as examples of how to use both user interactions and impressions in several common recommendation algorithms.

description: This paper investigates conditional and unconditional maize price volatility in Malawi at the country and local-economy market levels and related welfare costs. The empirical analysis applies an ARCH/GARCH approach that uses monthly data from January 1991 to March 2013, and the welfare cost is estimated via the Lucas formula. The study findings underline the importance of the domestic factors in explaining maize price volatility and of seasonality in affecting the unconditional variance and welfare cost.

Modern human rights : the Aboriginal challenge
Creators: name: Russ, Kelly Harvey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is about the development of a statutory means to allow for the articulation of Aboriginal theories on human rights. Currently, there is no indication that the application of the Canadian Human Rights Act, or the provincial Human Rights Code is the subject of any significant dialogue between the settler Crowns and the First Nations currently involved in treaty negotiations within the British Columbia treaty process. However, the repeal of section 67 of the CHRA, which prohibits the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal from adjudicating complaints by status Indians and other persons under the CHRA, would create a unique opportunity to allow for the articulation of an Aboriginal perspective on human rights. More fundamentally, the repeal of section 67 of the CHRA will enable for an intercultural exchange of Aboriginal views and the settler Crowns views with respect to human rights. At the core of this intercultural exchange is the issue of what is commonly referred to as the Bill C-31 debate. As a result of Bill C-31, there is ongoing gender inequality amongst Aboriginal peoples. The resolution of this gender inequality will go a long way in setting the ground work for a modern articulation of Aboriginal human rights. The challenge that will face Aboriginal peoples and the federal Crown is the ability to bridge Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultural practices and laws with respect to human rights.
Quantum Hall effect and Landau levels in the 3D topological insulator HgTe

description: We review low and high field magnetotransport in 80 nm-thick strained HgTe, a material that belongs to the class of strong three-dimensional topological insulators. Utilizing a top gate, the Fermi level can be tuned from the valence band via the Dirac surface states into the conduction band and allows studying Landau quantization in situations where different species of charge carriers contribute to magnetotransport. Landau fan charts, mapping the conductivity $ σ_{xx}(V_g, B) $ in the whole magnetic field - gate voltage range, can be divided into six areas, depending on the state of the participating carrier species. Key findings are: (i) the interplay of bulk holes (spin-degenerate) and Dirac surface electrons (non-degenerate), coexisting for $ E_F $ in the valence band, leads to a periodic switching between odd and even filling factors and thus odd and even quantized Hall voltage values. (ii) A similar though less pronounced behavior we found for coexisting Dirac surface and conduction band electrons. (iii) In the bulk gap, quantized Dirac electrons on the top-surface coexist at lower B with non-quantized ones on the bottom side, giving rise to quantum Hall plateau values depending - for a given filling factor - on the magnetic field strength. In stronger $ B $ fields, Landau level separation increases, charge transfer between different carrier species becomes energetically favorable and leads to the formation of a global (i.e. involving top and bottom surface) quantum Hall state. Simulations using the simplest possible theoretical approach are in line with the basic experimental findings, describing correctly the central features of the transitions from classical to quantum transport in the respective areas of our multicomponent charge carrier system.
