description: Connection between the education system and economic and social development is indirect, and it can be seen through the interaction of education and technological progress and their impact on future trends, the social and economic development, and thus the process of transition economies in the developing countries. Investment in education is because of very important and requires governments of countries in transition but also of individuals to different approaches to evaluating their investment in this area. Profitability of investment in education can be discussed from the aspect an individual and from the aspect of society. With the internal profitability rate as the most representative criteria for calculating profitability of investment in education from the aspect of an individual, the basic idea is to determine the discount rate that will equalize the current value of all the future benefits from education with the current value of all education costs. Calculating of the social rate of profitability of investment in education from the social aspects has an aim to determine an optimal level of the social expenditures designed for education and their disposition on the certain levels of education. Both profitability rates quantify the efficiency of investment in education but they don´t underestimate all the effects being brought by education, both the ones that can be financially expressed, so in that case , besides quantitative there must be brought qualitative estimations of the efficiency of investment in education,too.

description: Η παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία αφορά την ανάπτυξη ενός open world fantasy RPG action παιχνιδιού για υπολογιστές, το οποίο έχει δημιουργηθεί στην πλατφόρμα της Epic, Unreal Engine 5, με κύρια γλώσσα προγραμματισμού την C++. Το παιχνίδι χαρακτηρίζεται από έναν ανοιχτό κόσμο που προσφέρει στους παίκτες ελευθερία εξερεύνησης και αλληλεπίδρασης με το περιβάλλον, εχθρούς και NPCs. Μέσω της Unreal Engine 5, αξιοποιούνται σύγχρονες τεχνολογίες γραφικών, όπως η Lumen για δυναμικό φωτισμό και η Nanite για βελτιστοποιημένη απεικόνιση λεπτομερών αντικειμένων, ώστε να αποδίδεται ένα εντυπωσιακό και ρεαλιστικό οπτικό αποτέλεσμα. Το σύστημα μάχης του παιχνιδιού συνδυάζει μηχανισμούς real-time δράσης, με έμφαση στην τακτική προσέγγιση ενώ παράλληλα παρέχεται ένα σύστημα εξέλιξης. Το σενάριο του παιχνιδιού τοποθετείται σε έναν φανταστικό κόσμο με πλούσιο lore, όπου οι παίκτες εμπλέκονται σε επικές μάχες και μυθολογικές αφηγήσεις. Η C++ χρησιμοποιείται για την ανάπτυξη της βασικής λογικής και της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης των εχθρών, ενώ αξιοποιούνται και τα ενσωματωμένα εργαλεία scripting της Unreal Engine 5 για την υλοποίηση διαδραστικών συστημάτων και μηχανισμών.

description: We derive number of relations between quadrupole energy, elastic pressure, and shear force distributions in baryons using the large $N_c$ picture of baryons as chiral solitons. The obtained large $N_c$ relations are independent of particular dynamics and should hold in any picture in which the baryon is the chiral soliton. One of remarkable qualitative predictions of the soliton picture is the nullification of the tangential forces acting on the radial area element for any tensor polarisation of the baryon. The derived relations provide a powerful tool to check the hypothesis that the baryons are chiral solitons, say using lattice QCD.

description: We discuss tree level three and four point scattering amplitudes in type II string models with matter fields localized at the intersections of D-brane wrapping cycles. Using conformal field theory techniques we calculate the four fermion amplitudes. These give "contact" interactions that can lead to flavour changing effects. We show how in the field theory limit the amplitudes can be interpreted as the exchange of Kaluza-Klein excitations, string oscillator states and stretched heavy string modes.

description: Solar active regions (ARs) are crucial for understanding the long-term evolution of solar activities and predicting eruptive phenomena, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections. However, the cycle-dependent properties in the north-south asymmetry of ARs have not been fully understood. In this study, we investigate the hemispheric distribution of ARs from Carrington Rotation 1909 to 2278 (between 1996 May and 2023 November) by using three parameters that describe the magnetic field distribution of ARs: number, area, and flux. The main findings are as follows: (1) The three AR parameters show significant hemispheric asymmetry in cycles 23-25. The strong correlation between AR area and flux indicates that they can better reflect the intrinsic properties of solar magnetic field. (2) The correlation between sunspot activity and AR parameters varies in the two hemispheres across the different cycles. The AR parameters provide additional information for the variations in sunspot activity, which can better predict the intensity and cyclical changes of solar activity. (3) The variation in the fitting slope sign of the asymmetry index for AR parameters reflects periodic changes in hemispheric ARs, providing valuable insights into the activity of other stars. (4) Both the dominant hemisphere and the cumulative trend of AR parameters display a cycle-dependent behavior. Moreover, the trend variations of AR area and flux are similar, reflecting the long-term evolutionary characteristics of solar magnetic field. Our analysis results are relevant for understanding the hemispheric coupling of solar magnetic activity and its cyclic evolutionary patterns.

description: Often the goal of model selection is to choose a model for future prediction, and it is natural to measure the accuracy of a future prediction by squared error loss. Under the Bayesian approach, it is commonly perceived that the optimal predictive model is the model with highest posterior probability, but this is not necessarily the case. In this paper we show that, for selection among normal linear models, the optimal predictive model is often the median probability model, which is defined as the model consisting of those variables which have overall posterior probability greater than or equal to 1/2 of being in a model. The median probability model often differs from the highest probability model.

description: This thesis is devoted to the system instability due to load variability and inadmissible voltage changes and also provided the technical decision for increasing electrical power stability in the whole Tajik energy system. The issue of providing high-quality and reliable electrical power regularly appears in the energy systems of different countries of the world, and this issue became a case to investigate the Tajik real electrical transmission system. It is considered to put the all extra-high and high-voltage Tajik grid in the analyzation, namely: four extra-high substations with 490 km overhead lines and one hydropower plant at the 500 kV level; as well as 26 substations with 1327 km overhead lines, and seven power plants at the 220 kV level; moreover 29.997 km overhead lines, 156 substations and 3 power plants at the 110 kV level and one decentralised zone with voltage level of 10/0.4 kV. The Tajik energy system is in detail considered, and essential suggestions for improving the whole energy system and increasing power stability are provided. Considering that the primary energy resource in Tajikistan is water and the large hydropower stations are often located far away from the loads, the system voltage instability occurs periodically. Lack of compensation equipment like reactors makes this situation with voltage stability and power reliability more difficult. This problem becomes more significant because of the new “CASA-1000” project which aims to connect four Asia countries through high voltage lines. According to the World Bank and Tajik government, suggestions consider three different connection scenarios. To find a negative and positive impact of these connections, after connecting CASA-1000 to the Tajik grid, load flow calculation for the whole energy system is modelled. For solving voltage instability, a possibility to transmit the maximum power under given line impedance and load power factor were considered. Due to simulation was proven the efficiency of using reactive power compensation equipment, instead of using loads for voltage stabilization. Specifically, installation of the Static Var Compensators at the line between substation-Datka in the Republik of Kyrgyzstan and the substation-Sugd in the Republic of Tajikistan is proposed, through this solution the maximum power transmission with minimal power losses has been achieved.

description: This EPTCS volume contains the proceedings of the 16th Workshop on Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages and Systems (QAPL 2019) held in Prague, Czech Republic, on Sunday 7 April 2019. QAPL 2019 was a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2019). QAPL focuses on quantitative aspects of computations, which may refer to the use of physical quantities (time, bandwidth, etc.) as well as mathematical quantities (e.g., probabilities) for the characterisation of the behaviour and for determining the properties of systems. Such quantities play a central role in defining both the model of systems (architecture, language design, semantics) and the methodologies and tools for the analysis and verification of system properties. The aim of the QAPL workshop series is to discuss the explicit use of time and probability and general quantities either directly in the model or as a tool for the analysis or synthesis of systems. The 16th edition of QAPL also focuses on discussing the developments, challenges and results in this area covered by our workshop in its nearly 20-year history.

description: Full configuration interaction (FCI) solvers are limited to small basis sets due to their expensive computational costs. An optimal orbital selection for FCI (OptOrbFCI) is proposed to boost the power of existing FCI solvers to pursue the basis set limit under a computational budget. The optimization problem coincides with that of the complete active space SCF method (CASSCF), while OptOrbFCI is algorithmically quite different. OptOrbFCI effectively finds an optimal rotation matrix via solving a constrained optimization problem directly to compress the orbitals of large basis sets to one with a manageable size, conducts FCI calculations only on rotated orbital sets, and produces a variational ground-state energy and its wave function. Coupled with coordinate descent full configuration interaction (CDFCI), we demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method on the carbon dimer and nitrogen dimer under basis sets up to cc-pV5Z. We also benchmark the binding curve of the nitrogen dimer under the cc-pVQZ basis set with 28 selected orbitals, which provide consistently lower ground-state energies than the FCI results under the cc-pVDZ basis set. The dissociation energy in this case is found to be of higher accuracy.

description: Studije prevođenja filmskih naslova relativno su rijetke. Većina je dosadašnjih studija bila fokusirana na izvore poteškoća i ulogu apelativnog efekta pri prevođenju. Studije su nerijetko koristile nesustavnu metodologiju i male uzorke zbog čega priroda prevođenja filmskih naslova nije jasna. Neke su studije i teorijski pregledi uočili da eksplikacija žanra može predstavljati motivaciju pri odabiru strategije prevođenja. Tek je nekolicina studija bila fokusirana na efekt žanra na proces prevođenja te je zaključila da različiti žanrovi vjerojatno imaju specifični utjecaj na proces, no nedostaju sustavne studije koje bi bolje objasnile stanje stvari. Cilj ove studije bio je ispitati efekt žanra na odabir strategije prevođenja na njemački i njegovu motivaciju. Ručno smo izradili dva korpusa od po 240 originalnih engleskih naslova filmova praizvedenih od 2009. do 2016. te njihovih prijevoda na njemački. Naslovi su bili ravnomjerno raspoređeni po godinama. Prvi je korpus sadržavao naslove horora, a drugi romantičnih komedija. Ispitali smo frekvenciju odabranih strategija prevođenja: izravni prijevod, slobodni prijevod, transkreacija i prijepis (s potklasifikacijama). Također smo ispitali motivaciju odabira strategija u koju smo uključili serijski efekt, personalizaciju, kraćenje, morfosintaktičke poteškoće te dodavanje leksema s istaknutom emocionalnomn konotacijom, podnaslova i ključnih riječi. Rezultati dvaju korpusa uspoređeni su s kontrolnim, žanrovski nespecificiranim korpusom koji je s eksperimentalnima bio izjednačen u godini premijere, a sastojao se od 120 originalnih engleskih naslova i njihovih prijevoda. Rezultati pokazuju značajni efekt žanra na odabir i strategije prevođenja i njegovu motivaciju.

description: The energy and angular momentum of both straight and curved vortex states of a helium nanodroplet are examined as a function of droplet size. For droplets in the size range of many experiments, it is found that during the pickup of heavy solutes, a significant fraction of events deposit sufficient energy and angular momentum to form a straight vortex line. Curved vortex lines exist down to nearly zero angular momentum and energy, and thus could in principle form in almost any collision. Further, the coalescence of smaller droplets during the cooling by expansion could also deposit sufficient angular momentum to form vortex lines. Despite their high energy, most vortices are predicted to be stable at the final temperature (0.38 K) of helium nanodroplets due to lack of decay channels that conserve both energy and angular momentum.

title: The Symphony as a Novel: Mahler’s Tenth
Creators: name: Pinto, Angelo
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Ever since Theodor W. Adorno published the book Mahler. Eine Musikalische Physiognomik (‘Mahler. A Musical Physiognomy’) it has been commonplace to discuss the music of Gustav Mahler in narratological terms—that is, to search his music for structural analogies with narrative, using the approaches of ‘musical narratology’. Given their focus on only the work’s final version, however, the writings in this field do not pay enough attention to the authorial dimension of how Mahler constructs his musical ‘novel’ through the compositional process. However, a study of narrativity in the compositional process can more easily shed light on Mahler’s musical fragmentariness as a modernist expression of his music than traditional narratological approaches can. In this thesis I suggest the existence in Mahler’s Tenth Symphony of a narrative strategy I call ‘narrativisation’, which runs through the compositional process, leaving traces of what I call ‘narrativity’ in sketches and drafts. The method that supports these hypotheses is a three-stage analytical apparatus applied to each movement of the Symphony. The first stage analyses the narrativity of the Symphony’s draft of the last compositional phase. In the second stage, I then apply the method to the entire compositional process, including all the available sketches and drafts of the Symphony. In the third stage, I consider evidence from the two previous stages in support of an overall narrative interpretation of each movement and the whole Symphony. As a result of my analysis, for each movement and the entire Symphony I suggest that, during his conception of the work, Mahler manifests an overall ‘scriptorial’ narrative intention, aimed to represent in music, meta-referentially, an in-progress process of writing.

description: The paper analyzes the theoretical and legal considerations of the School of Economic Analysis of Law. As the significance of one theoretical thought can be measured, both by the influence of the same on the theory of law, as well as on contemporary social practice, then it can be without any doubt that in the last few decades, economic analysis of law is certainly the most influential approach in modern theory of law . This paper aims to investigate and subject to a critical analysis of the conceptual basis on which this teaching of law rests, while trying to provide an axiological assessment of them, bearing in mind a different value approach adopted by advocates of economic analysis of rights in relation to, in a condition, the usual value access to the law in general.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between bank ownership (foreign vs. domestic) and bank profitability in three South-Eastern European countries, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Serbia using individual bank data. There are a lot empirical evidences that banks with foreign ownership have better performance. This is due on the better corporate governance in those banks that is manifest with better risk management system. In micromanagement, better risk management system is depicted in better granting criteria, more strict and unbiased process, better monitoring system and more proactive strategy. This leads to better quality of the credit portfolio and better performance indicators. This paper will explore this hypothesis on basis of a sample of 24 banks from the three sample countries through a data series of ROE for the period 2008-2016.
Magnetic properties of a helical spin chain with alternating isotropic and anisotropic spins: magnetization plateaus and finite entropy

description: We study a model which could explain some of the unusual magnetic properties observed for the one-dimensional helical spin system Co(hfac)_2 NITPhOMe. One of the properties observed is that the magnetization shows plateaus near zero and near one-third of the saturation value if a magnetic field is applied along the helical axis, but not if the field is applied in the plane perpendicular to that axis. The system consists of a spin-1/2 chain in which cobalt ions (which are highly anisotropic with an easy axis e_i) and organic radicals (which are isotropic) alternate with each other. The easy axis of the cobalts e_i lie at an angle theta_i with respect to the helical axis, while the projection of e_{i+1} - e_i on the plane perpendicular to the helical axis is given by 2 pi /3. For temperatures and magnetic fields which are much smaller than the coupling between the nearest-neighbor cobalts and radicals, one can integrate out the radicals to obtain an Ising model for the cobalts; this enables one to compute the thermodynamic properties of the system using the transfer matrix approach. We consider a model in which the tilt angles theta_i are allowed to vary with i with period three; we find that for certain patterns of theta_i, the system shows the magnetization plateaus mentioned above. At the ends of the plateaus, the entropy is finite even at very low temperatures, while the magnetic susceptibility and specific heat also show some interesting features.

first-episode psychosis

description: Background It is widely assumed that lexical-semantic deficits in first-episode psychosis occur as a syndrome of a dysfunctional neural connectivity and global functional changes in brain regions that are crucial for language processing because of a broadly distributed network disorder.

 Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate deficits of mental lexicon access in psychosis. Furthermore, the question that has arisen is the role of lexical-semantic features of animacy in lexical-semantic processing in regard to executive functions. Concepts that share the animacy feature also suppose more correlated intercategory features. On the other hand, inanimate concepts have more distinctive features. Furthermore, the correlation of intercategory features increases the automation of connections in the mental lexicon and presupposes activation of a higher number of clusters.

 Method Specific aspects of lexical-semantic processing were tested in The University Psychiatric Hospital Vrapče on 30 patients with diagnosed first-episode psychosis who were matched with a control group consisting of 30 healthy participants.Analysis confirmed that there are differences in clustering and switching strategies between the patients and the control group.

 Results The results of this study have demonstrated that patients have fewer automated links in all tested lexical-semantic categories, but the animate category features are shown to be most preserved. On account of these results we can assume that different lexical-semantic categories produce a neural noise of different intensity.

 Conclusions The contribution of this study is in line with determining language classifiers which could help in additional diagnosing of the acute disorder and could potentially enable the prediction of the course of the disorder and its functional outcome.

How to use SANC to improve the PHOTOS Monte Carlo simulation of bremsstrahlung in leptonic W-Boson decays

description: Using the SANC system we study the one-loop electroweak standard model predictions, including virtual and real photon emission, for the decays of the on-shell vector boson, W --> L ANTI-NU (GAMMA). The complete one-loop corrections and exact photon emission matrix element are taken into account. For the phase-space integration, the Monte Carlo technique is used. This provides a useful element, first for the evaluation of the theoretical uncertainty of PHOTOS. Later we analyse the source of the differences between SANC and PHOTOS and we calculate the additional weight, which once installed, improves predictions of PHOTOS simulations. We can conclude that, after the correction of the weight is implemented, the theoretical uncertainty of PHOTOS simulations due to an incomplete first-order matrix element is reduced to below alpha/pi, for observables not tagging the photon in a direct way, and to 10% otherwise. This is interesting for applications in the phenomenology of the ongoing LEP2 and future LC and LHC experimental studies.

It is shown that a slight modulation of the crystal lattice with wavevector $\bQ_c$ results in a corresponding modulation of the exchange interaction which, in the leading order, is parametrized by no more than two constants per bond, and perturbs the spin Hamiltonian by adding the ``Umklapp'' terms $\sim S^α_{\bq} S^α_{\bq \pm \bQ_c}$. As a result, for a general spin-spiral ground state of the non-perturbed exchange Hamiltonian, an incommensurate shift of the propagation vector, $\bQ$, and additional new magnetic Bragg peaks, at $\bQ \pm n\bQ_c$, $n = 1,2,...$, appear, and its energy is lowered as it adapts to the exchange modulation. Consequently, the lattice distortion may open a region of stability of the incommensurate spiral phase which otherwise does not win the competition with the collinear Néel state. Such is the case for the frustrated square-lattice antiferromagnet. In addition, the ``Umklapp'' terms provide a commensuration mechanism, which may lock the spin structure to the lattice modulation vector $\bQ_c$, if there is sufficient easy-axis anisotropy, or a magnetic field in an easy plane.

description: With an expected increase in tanker traffic in Vancouver, Canada and associated marine oil spill risks, it is crucial that planning professionals and decision-makers take steps to prepare for a major oil spill, including enhancing community engagement efforts. Through 23 semi-structured interviews with professionals involved in oil spill planning and response in British Columbia (BC) and the United States (US), this research project investigates current community engagement practices in BC, comparing them with practices in US communities which have been impacted by past major oil spills. Overall, there were a higher percentage of US interviewees (86%) who have conducted community engagement activities compared to BC interviewees (67%). For both US and BC interviewees, outreach communication is the most common type of engagement activity, followed by consultation and workshops; the least practiced was training and exercises. Most BC interviewees stated that they generally do little to no pre-event community engagement. The main challenges and concerns highlighted by interviewees included misinformation and mistrust, low public interest, public health concerns and hazards (particularly for convergent volunteers), causing fear and panic, and having limited time and resources. Recommendations include preparing information packets prior to a major oil spill which can be immediately distributed to the public following an event, providing an official forum for citizens to share their input into marine oil spill planning (e.g., a Citizen’s Advisory Council for BC), and encouraging pre-registered and pre-trained volunteers who are ready to respond in the event of a spill. Overall, this research project recommends strategies for marine oil spill community engagement, especially in Vancouver, BC and other coastal communities which have not yet experienced a major oil spill event but are at risk of one.

description: Utilizing the analytical descriptive method, this paper examines the business model as an especially useful concept, considering the fact that organization managers are often unable to explain the complexities of business regulations and elements in an understandable way. A contemporary approach views the business model as a tool that assists the understanding, visualization and communication of the basic nature of conducting business to parties of interest and influence. The purpose of this article is to clearly describe the spectrum of business model concepts and to give a clear overview of its essential components. What is more, the paper emphasizes the role and importance of inovating the business model as a determinant of a contemporary organization’s sustainable competitive advantage. It is believed that business models are able to change the fundamental nature of business regarding the organization’s value creation and to set new competition standards in a given industry.

description: We present VLT-UVES echelle spectra of the Lyman alpha emission and absorption in five radio galaxies at redshifts z=2.55-4.1. Together with data from our pilot study, we have a sample of 7 such systems with radio source sizes ~ 1-90 kpc with which to address the origin of the absorbing gas. Echelle resolution again reveals that some systems with N_HI>1E18 cm^-2 in lower resolution data in fact consist of several weaker absorbers with N_HI<1E15 cm^-2. We identify two groups of HI absorbers: strong absorbers with N_HI=1E18-1E20 cm^-2 and weaker systems with N_HI=1E13-1E15 cm^-2. There are none at intermediate N_HI. The strong absorbers may be a by-product of massive galaxy formation or could instead represent material cooling behind the expanding bow-shock of the radio jet, as simulated by Krause. New observations are required to discriminate between these possibilities. We argue that the weaker absorbers with N_HI=1E13-1E15 cm^-2 are part of the Lyman alpha forest, as their rate of incidence is within a factor of 2-4 of that in the IGM at large. Such column densities are consistent with models of a multi-phase proto-intracluster medium at z>2.

title: Experiences of Online Volunteer Translation and Implications for Translation Education
Creators: name: Comas-Quinn, Anna
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: This study explores the boundary between online volunteer translation and translation education to gain insights into how pedagogy might respond to: a) changes in practice in the field of translation resulting from the increasing availability and use of digital tools and content; and b) the learning opportunities afforded to those who want to become professional translators by the growth of online, open volunteer translation initiatives. It considers the possibility of expanding the concept of practice-based learning within an authentic, situated learning model, to encompass online volunteer translation as a way of developing translation competence and being socialised into the practice of translation. The study focuses on participants in TED Translators (TEDT) from across the world who plan to work as professional translators. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of interview data and a qualitative online survey, it explores their experiences and perceptions of how their engagement with TEDT fits into their learning and career journeys. The findings identify the characteristics of the activity that make it attractive to aspiring translators as well as the difficulties they encounter; the professional and learning benefits that participants derive from engaging in TEDT; and the different paths and trajectories that link volunteering, education and profession. It concludes that online volunteer translation can offer a motivating, meaningful and situated learning opportunity through which learners can develop their translation competence and their identity as translators; and that informal learning using open tools, resources and communities can support learners’ access to and engagement with formal education. However, educators and participants must consider the challenges of learning within an online community and develop the relevant digital and participatory skills, as well as a good awareness of local cultures and customs, to successfully engage with this opportunity.

description: This paper presents a model selection technique of estimation in semiparametric regression models of the type Y_i=β^{\prime}\underbarX_i+f(T_i)+W_i, i=1,...,n. The parametric and nonparametric components are estimated simultaneously by this procedure. Estimation is based on a collection of finite-dimensional models, using a penalized least squares criterion for selection. We show that by tailoring the penalty terms developed for nonparametric regression to semiparametric models, we can consistently estimate the subset of nonzero coefficients of the linear part. Moreover, the selected estimator of the linear component is asymptotically normal.

description: Die Einbindung von Energiewandlern in zukünftig gekoppelte Multi-Energiesysteme benötigt eine koordinierte Steuerungsinfrastruktur, um kritische Netzzustände zu vermeiden. In solchen Steuerungsinfrastrukturen können Anlagen wie das neuartige umschaltbare Brennstoffzellen-Elektrolysesystem aufgrund ihrer Fähigkeit zur Sektorenkopplung eine Schlüsselrolle spielen. Dies erfordert eine robuste gemeinsame Ansteuerung der Anlage. Hierzu werden in diesem Beitrag die grundlegenden Aspekte einer dazu erforderlichen Schnittstelle definiert, beschrieben und untersucht. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die verwendeten Übertragungsprotokolle erläutert und ein Simulationsnetzwerk aufgebaut und untersucht. Definierte Anforderungen an die Ansteuerung solcher Anlagen werden in einem Simulationsszenario getestet. Eine optimale Fahrweise bei unterschiedlichen Anforderungen verschiedener Sektoren wird durch die Implementierung eines Leitrechners realisiert.
Beauty mesons in $N_f=2+1+1+1 $ lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry

description: We present the first study of $N_f=2+1+1+1$ lattice QCD with domain-wall quarks. The $(b, c, s)$ quarks are physical, while the $(u, d)$ quarks are heavier than their physical masses, with the pion mass $ \sim 700 $ MeV. The gauge ensemble is generated by hybrid Monte Carlo simulation with the Wilson gauge action for the gluons, and the optimal domain-wall fermion action for the quarks. Using point-to-point quark propagators, we measure the time-correlation functions of quark-antiquark meson interpolators with quark contents $\bar b b$, $\bar b c$, $\bar b s$, and $ \bar c c$, and obtain the masses of the low-lying mesons. They are in good agreement with the experimental values, plus some predictions which have not been observed in experiments. Moreover, we also determine the masses of $(b, c, s)$ quarks.

description: The spectra of quasars and NLS1 galaxies show surprising similarity in their spectral shape. They seem to scale only with the accretion rate. This is in contradiction with the simple expectations from the standard disk model which predicts lower disk temperature for higher black hole mass. Here we consider two mechanisms modifying the disk spectrum: the irradiation of the outer disk due to the scattering of the flux by the extended ionized medium (warm absorber and the development of the warm Comptonizing disk skin under the effect of the radiation pressure instability. Those two mechanisms seem to lead to a spectrum which indeed roughly scales, as observed, only with the accretion rate. The scenario applies only to objects with relatively high luminosity to the Eddington luminosity ratio for which disk evaporation is inefficient.
