description: The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a balloon-borne gamma-ray (0.2-5 MeV) telescope designed to study astrophysical sources. COSI employs a compact Compton telescope design utilizing 12 high-purity germanium double-sided strip detectors and is inherently sensitive to polarization. In 2016, COSI was launched from Wanaka, New Zealand and completed a successful 46-day flight on NASA's new Super Pressure Balloon. In order to perform imaging, spectral, and polarization analysis of the sources observed during the 2016 flight, we compute the detector response from well-benchmarked simulations. As required for accurate simulations of the instrument, we have built a comprehensive mass model of the instrument and developed a detailed detector effects engine which applies the intrinsic detector performance to Monte Carlo simulations. The simulated detector effects include energy, position, and timing resolution, thresholds, dead strips, charge sharing, charge loss, crosstalk, dead time, and detector trigger conditions. After including these effects, the simulations closely resemble the measurements, the standard analysis pipeline used for measurements can also be applied to the simulations, and the responses computed from the simulations are accurate. We have computed the systematic error that we must apply to measured fluxes at certain energies, which is 6.3% on average. Here we describe the detector effects engine and the benchmarking tests performed with calibrations.

description: The development and form of the factoring contract and forfeiting contract confirm in a convincing way the view according to which the business life is much richer than law, which means that the legislator is often not able to encompass through legal regulations all the business relationships which occur between business legal subjects on the market. The business system has favorable effects on business cooperation even on the international level through new contracting business forms incurring in the field of autonomous business law. The diverse market and technological pressures are forcing the business subjects to turn to different modalities of modern business, among which factoring and forfeiting business occupy special positions. Having in mind the fact that a large number of factoring and forfeiting contracts have been concluded in the field of banking business, which is characterized by exceptional dynamics, it is logical that the importance of these unnamed business forms is great for all environments which respect the market principles of business.

description: Capturing the interplay between electronic correlations and many-particle entanglement requires a unified framework for Hamiltonian and eigenbasis renormalization. In this work, we apply the unitary renormalization group (URG) scheme developed in a companion work (Ref.[1]) to the study of two archetypal models of stongly correlated lattice electrons, one with translation invariance and one without. We obtain detailed insight into the emergence of various gapless and gapped phases of quantum electronic matter by computing effective Hamiltonians as well as entanglement signatures through their respective tensor network descriptions. For the translationally invariant model of a single-band of interacting electrons, this includes results on gapless metallic phases such as the Fermi liquid and Marginal Fermi liquid, as well as gapped phases such as the reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer, pair density-wave and Mott liquid phases. Additionally, a study of a generalised Sachdev-Ye model with disordered four-fermion interactions offers detailed results on many-body localised phases, as well as thermalised phase. We emphasise the distinctions between the various phases based on a combined analysis of their dynamical (obtained from the effective Hamiltonian) and entanglement properties. Importantly, the RG flow of the Hamiltonian vertex tensor network is shown to lead to emergent gauge theories for the gapped phases. Taken together with results on the holographic spacetime generated from the RG of the many-particle eigenstate (seen through, for instance, the holographic upper bound of the one-particle entanglement entropy), our analysis offer an ab-initio perspective of the gauge-gravity duality for quantum liquids that are emergent in systems of correlated electrons.

description: Debris flow and flow failure are terms used to describe large displacement slope failures. The initiation or triggering often differs due to the nature and state of the material, but once triggered these two failure mechanisms both tend to behave like a Bingham plastic exhibiting a yield strength and a strain-rate dependent strength. In this paper the rheology of these failures is examined and compared to field data and lab data to find commonalities. A future goal is to move towards a common definition of the physics and a joint empirical database for improved statistics and predictive models. The authors own field investigations in Chile and lab investigations using shake table experiments will be reviewed along with studies by other researchers.

description: High-resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission measurements have been carried out on Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ (Bi2212) and Bi$_2$Sr$_{2-x}$La$_x$CuO$_{6+δ}$ (Bi2201) superconductors. Unexpected hybridization between the main band and the superstructure band in Bi2212 is clearly revealed. In the momentum space where one main Fermi surface intersects with one superstructure Fermi surface, four bands are observed instead of two. The hybridization exists in both superconducting state and normal state, and in Bi2212 samples with different doping levels. Such a hybridization is not observed in Bi2201. This phenomenon can be understood by considering the bilayer splitting in Bi2212, the selective hybridization of two bands with peculiar combinations, and the altered matrix element effects of the hybridized bands. These observations provide strong evidence on the origin of the superstructure band which is intrinsic to the CuO$_2$ planes. Therefore, understanding physical properties and superconductivity mechanism in Bi2212 should consider the complete Fermi surface topology which involves the main bands, the superstructure bands and their interactions.

description: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy can be used as an important and effective tool for probing periodic networks of quantum wires or nanotubes (quantum crossbars, QCB) at finite frequencies far from the Luttinger liquid fixed point. Plasmon excitations in QCB may be involved in resonance diffraction of incident electromagnetic waves and in optical absorption in the IR part of the spectrum. Direct absorption of external electric field in QCB strongly depends on the direction of the wave vector ${\bf q}.$ This results in two types of $1D\to 2D$ dimensional crossover with varying angle of an incident wave or its frequency. In the case of QCB interacting with semiconductor substrate, capacitive contact between them does not destroy the Luttinger liquid character of the long wave QCB excitations. However, the dielectric losses on a substrate surface are significantly changed due to appearance of additional Landau damping. The latter is initiated by diffraction processes on QCB superlattice and manifests itself as strong but narrow absorption peaks lying below the damping region of an isolated substrate.Submi

description: The authors of this paper point out to the normative defining of financial leasing in domestic legislative practice, to the complexity of this new contract form as trilateral legal affairs, in which three persons participate (the leasing provider, leasing recipients and distributor of the leasing object), as well as two contracts. The most important legal regulation of complex leasing arrangement on the international level was implemented within UNIDROIT, dating back to 1988. The range of international regulations and experience of comparative legislation have indicated to the need for the leasing business relationship to be regulated by domestic law. Favorable circumstances for the leasing business relationship led to the enactment of the Law on financial leasing in 2003, as lex specialis, making our country part of the small number of countries which regulate these legal affairs, but only in financial (indirect) leasing, not in operative (direct) leasing.

We find that two-state fluctuations, with an inverse power-law distribution of waiting times, finite first moment and divergent second moment, namely with the power index mu in the interval 2>ta yields ord=mu -2. The intermediate time regime is probably incompatible with a picture based on fractional derivatives, or, at least, with a mono-order fractional derivative.

At high temperatures the dynamics is exactly mapped into de Domany-Kinzel probabilistic cellular automaton. Using a mean-field approximation and Monte Carlo simulations we find the critical line that separates the phase where the damage spreads and the one where it does not.

description: The city is a social community that has its own social structure. Therefore, the city has always been the hearth innovation, change, social rebellion, sour leaven in the life of the whole country. The city became the scene of many social changes. The city of Nis, used industrial and commercial center of the region, shares the fate of most cities with similar structure of the economy and population, also making the area (intersection) in which the gain (“cut”), all roads, as they are from east to west, and they South to North. It is just the intersection, from which the traveler, whether benevolent or not, made it to all four corners of the world, the predetermined fate of Nis. Therefore, it is recognized as the Nis traffic center of the Balkans as a geographical core of the Balkan Peninsula. Nis during the second half of the 20th century established as a regional and macroeconomic center of your surroundings. The town itself was formed in the spatial vacuum gravity of large metropolitan centers of Belgrade, Sofia and Skopje. Spatial-economic and demographic development is characterized by strong Nis changes in their immediate environment. Stagnation and recession in the development of the city, as a consequence of socio-economic changes in the 90’s, has its spatial-demographic reflection. Therefore the basic aim of this study should show the spatial distribution of population in the area of Nis and the territories under its direct administrative authority.

description: In the case of liberalised capital and financial external flows, a developed money market enables its participants efficient liquidity management, creates competition among financial intermediaries and assures the central bank an effective transmission mechanism for managing monetary policy. Furtheremore, it enables cheaper short-term borrowing for the state treasury as it stimulates the liquidity of the primary market for sovereign securities. The most important aspects of the primary market for treasury bills are stable legal system and developed institutional system. We believe that this can significantly contribute to development of a primary and a secondary market for soverign securities and that the concept chosen could help develop the broader money market in every national economy as well.
title: Range, quality, and costs of antimalarial drugs available in the retail sector in Kenya
Creators: name: Amin, Abdinasir Abass
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: Background: The main strategy for rolling back malaria in Africa is prompt, presumptive treatment of fever among those at risk. Most fevers in Africa are treated first with antipyretic or antimalarial drugs obtained from the retail sector. The objectives of the thesis were to understand retail provision of antimalarial drugs, drug use patterns and quality in four communities in Kenya to enable an exploration of impediments to effective antimalarial drug use in Kenya and how these might be redressed in the national antimalarial drug policy.

Methods: The thesis used an eclectic mix of methods: from review of policy documents; key informant interviews; laboratory-based pharmaceutical analytical techniques; mathematical modeling of effectiveness; to structured questionnaires administered to households/retailers in four districts of Kenya.

Results: The community survey revealed that less than 3% of children below five years accessed sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (SP), the first-line drug. Adult and paediatric doses of SP and amodiaquine (AQ, second-line) in the retail retail sector were less than one US dollar; that of the new first-line drug, artemether-lumefantrine (ART-LUM) was eight US dollars. Less than a third of the retailers knew the correct dose of AQ for an adult and even less (2%) could state the correct dose for a child of 2 years. About 41% of SP and AQ products sampled from the retail sector were sub-standard. The modeled effectiveness of SP and AQ was found to be 51 and 45%, respectively, when drug quality, use, and adherence were taken into consideration; that of ART-LUM was approximately 85%.

Conclusions: Effective drugs are not a panacea to therapy of malaria if they remain inaccessible to rural populations at risk in Kenya. The RBM targets on prompt, effective treatment of fevers are unlikely to be met without an increased investment in behaviour change initiatives and provision of effective and affordable therapeutics at all levels of the health service, including the retail sector.

description: In this report, for a specific rural municipality the income tax amount is estimated that is paid by farmers and landowners on their income from farming or leasing land in the municipal territory. Furthermore, the share of this tax amount is assessed that is attributable to other communes due to the fact that farmers and landowners in parts are not resident in the municipality itself. This investigation is based on real-estate data and property taxpayers’ data that have been analysed with regard to the taxpayers’ residence. It is shown that more than half of the municipality’s agricultural property belongs to owners living in other communes, and more than half of the agricultural land is managed by farmers residing outside the municipal territory. However, the income tax amount that is foregone by this municipality is relatively low, compared with other financial sources of the municipal budget. With respect to agricultural structures, this study for the first time provides a concrete example for the assessment of land ownership and land management concentration using municipal real-estate data.

Constraining X-ray Binary Jet Models via Reflection
Creators: name: Markoff, Sera

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Although thermal disk emission is suppressed or absent in the hard state of X-ray binaries, the presence of a cold, thin disk can be inferred from signatures of reprocessing in the ~2-50 keV band. The strength of this signature is dependent on the source spectrum and flux impinging on the disk surface, and is thus very sensitive to the system geometry. The general weakness of this feature in the hard state has been attributed to either a truncation of the thin disk, large ionization, or beaming of the corona region away from the disk with β~0.3. This latter velocity is comparable to jet nozzle velocities, so we explore whether a jet can account for the observed reflection fractions. It has been suggested that jets may contribute to the high-energy spectra of X-ray binaries, via either synchrotron from around 100-1000 r_g along the jet axis or from inverse Compton (synchrotron self-Compton and/or external Compton) from near the base. Here we calculate the reflection fraction from jet models wherein either synchrotron or Compton processes dominate the emission. Using as a guide a data set for GX 339-4, where the reflection fraction previously has been estimated as ~10%, we study the results for a jet model. We find that the synchrotron case gives < 2% reflection, while a model with predominantly synchrotron self-Compton in the base gives ~10-18%. This shows for the first time that an X-ray binary jet is capable of significant reflection fractions, and that extreme values of the reflection may be used as a way of discerning the dominant contributions to the X-ray spectrum.

description: Superconducting circuits offer a scalable platform for the construction of large-scale quantum networks where information can be encoded in multiple temporal modes of propagating microwaves. Characterization of such microwave signals with a method extendable to an arbitrary number of temporal modes with a single detector and demonstration of their phase-robust nature are of great interest. Here we show the on-demand generation and Wigner tomography of a microwave time-bin qubit with superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture. We perform the tomography with a single heterodyne detector by dynamically changing the measurement quadrature with a phase-sensitive amplifier independently for the two temporal modes. By generating and measuring the qubits with hardware lacking a shared phase reference, we demonstrate conservation of phase information in each time-bin qubit generated.

The variant causes losing the restriction enzyme site. Agarose gel (2.0%) electrophoresis with ethidium bromide staining following the XapI digestion of the PCR products is shown. PCR-RFLP results in normal control showing 340, 249, and 130 bp (T/T: wild-type allele); after XapI digestion, a heterozygous sample will show four distinct bands including 470, 340, 249, and 130 bp. The homozygote reveals three distinct bands consisting of 470, 249, and 130 bp. b) PCR-RFLP assay was used on the samples in order to show the genotyping. In this figure, 1: heterozygote, 2: patient, 3–14, and 16–22 are wild-type alleles

description: All the credits for the transformation of social and economic structure of the developed countries on the global level go to the corporate management, but we should bear in mind that corporate management as such has transformed itself, becoming modern and very powerful.3 Although there are various opinions on the factors that indicate the sources of power, the following processes have had a dominant influence: 1. expansion of the knowledge base 2. development of applied technologies 3. introduction of new concepts in the management of corporations. The sequence of these concepts is random but the process of introduction of new concepts in the corporation seems to have had the greatest influence. Serbia, as a developing country, did not follow the trend of the development in this area which, after the transformation from state into private ownership, had numerous negative economic and social indications such as: growth rate, unemployment, inflation, fiscal deficit, gross domestic income (GDP), trade balance, external debt, export, investments, etc. This paper aims to point out the importance of the accounting information for the management in strengthening the competences of corporate management in the domestic economy.

description: Obesity is inordinately prevalent among food insecure households in the US. Some researchers have identified the consumption of unhealthy food a major source of this seemingly paradoxical relationship. One of the goals of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, is to encourage healthy eating behavior among low-income households. However, literature lacks conclusive evidence for the success of the program in achieving that goal. This paper exploits an underutilized source of variation, the early-2000s recession in the US, to determine the impact of SNAP participation on household Food Away From Home (FAFH) expenditures. A Difference in Difference model is constructed using high post-recession growth in SNAP caseloads as treatment. The results show that households in the treatment cohort significantly decrease consumption of FAFH relative to households in the control group. This provides evidence that SNAP participation leads households to make healthier eating choices.

description: A novel method to produce neutrino beams has recently been proposed : the beta-beams. This method consists in using the beta-decay of boosted radioactive nuclei to obtain an intense, collimated and pure neutrino beam. Here we propose to exploit the beta-beam concept to produce neutrino beams of low energy. We discuss the applications of such a facility as well as its importance for different domains of physics. We focus, in particular, on neutrino-nucleus interaction studies of interest for various open issues in astrophysics, nuclear and particle physics. We suggest possible sites for a low energy beta-beam facility.

description: The focus of this paper is viral marketing – the process of creating, receiving, sending and forwarding “virus”-marketing messages. Model “5C” is presented according to which the passing on of viral marketing messages depends on consumers, category, company, content (of message) and context. Viral messages can be created by both the representatives of a company and consumers (like individuals or in communities), but they are being passed on by consumers. When a company creates a viral message, it is “only” necessary to create “the right marketing message” (with the right content) - with a viral potential – virus and pass it on to the “right users-consumers” in the “right context”. Since the users of digital media and/or consumers also create and pass on messages, companies have to check and “direct” all viral communications (related to the company) in a desired direction.
Vector Perturbations in a Contracting Universe

description: In this note we show that vector perturbations exhibit growing mode solutions in a contracting Universe, such as the contracting phase of the Pre Big Bang or the Cyclic/Ekpyrotic models of the Universe. This is not a gauge artifact and will in general lead to the breakdown of perturbation theory -- a severe problem that has to be addressed in any bouncing model. We also comment on the possibility of explaining, by means of primordial vector perturbations, the existence of the observed large scale magnetic fields. This is possible since they can be seeded by vorticity.

Type species.
Paleosepharia truncata Laboissière, 1936, by monotypy and original designation. Redescription in Rizki et al. 2016.
Distribution.
Oriental and Palaearctic regions.
Diagnosis.
This genus is similar to Atrachya Chevrolat, 1836 and Monolepta Chevrolat, 1836. In Paleosepharia, the third antennomere is longer than the second (both antennomeres are more or less equal in Monolepta), and the epipleuron continues towards the apex (suddenly narrowed before the middle in Monolepta), procoxal cavity is closed behind (opened in Atrachya).
Male genitalia. In Paleosepharia and Atrachya the aedeagus is parallel-sided in the basal two-thirds, apical third strongly narrowed (aedeagus slender, parallel-sided in Monolepta). In Paleosepharia, tectum long, rounded or truncate at apex (rounded at apex in Monolepta; incised at apex, the two apical tips forming strong hooks in Atrachya). Paleosepharia usually has two pairs of strongly sclerotized spiculae (lateral and median), while the ventral spiculae are weakly sclerotized. The median spiculae consist of long, slender spikes.

description: Sales taxes on both grocery food and restaurant food exist in almost every county in the United States. By combining county level sales tax data with USDA’s recent national household food acquisition and purchase survey, we examine how a food sales tax affects consumers’ expenditures on grocery and restaurant food. We find that a grocery tax reduces consumers’ grocery food expenditures and increases restaurant food expenditure, which has further public health implication because the latter is generally considered to be less healthy. A restaurant food sales tax increases consumers’ grocery food expenditures. Such result provide insight into the potential impact of “fat” taxes on fast food restaurants. In addition, we find no differential impacts from food sales taxes based on consumers’ income, participation status in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or sharing borders with lower taxed counties. Finally, our results provide evidence that many consumers are attentive to food sales taxes even though the taxes are added at the register and are not salient.

description: Although Serbia has a generally high potential for the development of hunting tourism, they have not been fully realized adequately. In recent years, intensive talks about the “revival” of some hunting areas that were previously brought significant revenue to municipalities in which they are located. However, as one of the limiting factors for the development of hunting imposes a lack of funds for hunting infrastructure and revitalization of flora and fauna. Vrbas, municipality previously valorize its tourism potential, primarily through hunting, and then through other forms of tourism, which it evidently available to. However, during the nineties, tourism is found on the margins of the overall economic development, to the municipality, and the whole society. Today intention of municipality is that tourists, primarily foreign, again animate and return to this important tourist destination of Vojvodina. Important role in this process will play marketing approach with all tools promotional mix. The aim of this paper is to present resources to develop hunting tourism in the municipality of Vrbas and point out the strategic directions for its future development.

description: The Covid-19 epidemic of the novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS - CoV-2) has been spreading around the world. While different containment policies using non-pharmaceutical interventions have been applied, their efficiency are not known quantitatively. We show that the doubling time Td(t) with the success s factor, the characteristic time of the exponential growth of Td(t) in the arrested regime, is a reliable tool for early predictions of epidemic spread time evolution and it provides a quantitative measure of the success of different containment measures. The efficiency of the containment policy Lockdown case Finding mobile Tracing (LFT) using mandatory mobile contact tracing is much higher than the Lockdown Stop and Go (LSG) policy proposed by the Imperial College team in London. A very low s factor was reached by LFT policy giving the shortest time width of the dome of positive case curve and the lowest number of fatalities. The LFT policy has been able to reduce by a factor 100 the number of fatalities in the first 100 days of the Covid-19 epidemic, to reduce the time width of the Covid-19 pandemic dome by a factor 2.5 and to rapidly stop new outbreaks avoiding the second wave

Superfluidity of Bose-Einstein Condensate in An Optical Lattice: Landau-Zener Tunneling and Dynamical Instability
Creators: name: Wu, Biao

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Superflow of Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice is represented by a Bloch wave, a plane wave with periodic modulation of the amplitude. We review the theoretical results on the interaction effects in the energy dispersion of the Bloch waves and in the linear stability of such waves. For sufficiently strong repulsion between the atoms, the lowest Bloch band develops a loop at the edge of the Brillouin zone, with the dramatic consequence of a finite probability of Landau-Zener tunneling even in the limit of a vanishing external force. Superfluidity can exist in the central region of the Brillouin zone in the presence of a repulsive interaction, beyond which Landau instability takes place where the system can lower its energy by making transition into states with smaller Bloch wavenumbers. In the outer part of the region of Landau instability, the Bloch waves are also dynamically unstable in the sense that a small initial deviation grows exponentially in time. In the inner region of Landau instability, a Bloch wave is dynamically stable in the absence of persistent external perturbations. Experimental implications of our findings will be discussed.
