description: We investigate the fate of the quantum Hall extended states within a continuum model with spatially correlated disorder potentials. The model can be projected onto a couple of the lowest Landau bands. Levitation of the $n=0$ critical states is observed if at least the two lowest Landau bands are considered. The dependence on the magnetic length $l_B=(\hbar/(eB))^{1/2}$ and on the correlation length of the disorder potential $η$ is combined into a single dimensionless parameter $\hatη=η/l_B$. This enables us to study the behavior of the critical states for vanishing magnetic field. In the two Landau band limit, we find a disorder dependent saturation of the critical states' levitation which is in contrast to earlier propositions, but in accord with some experiments.

description: The informal market of purified water in Mexico grew in 2004 to 50% in some areas. Currently, the sale of bottled water is equivalent to 26.03 million l/year, 18.22 million in water jug and 7.81 million in individual water bottles. However, the commonwealth of Infiernillo, municipality of Arteaga, Michoacán, the market niche demand is unsatisfied; coupled to 2,600 habitants of the Colonies Pitireras and Morelos consume untreated water, that contain salts and these are extracted from the dam Infiernillo. The main objective of this research is to evaluate financially a water purification plant to meet quality and quantity of product demand in the study area. For this purpose, were evaluated the assessed the economic feasibility, the economic costs of production and the monetary benefits of commercialization. Financial indicators Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C) and Net Benefit-Investment (K/N) are determined using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the program analysis projects (ANPRO) and the Statistical Analysis Sistem package SAS. The economic information was obtained from an water purifying plant pre-feasibility study carried out in this community. The variables considered were costs of staff (509,400 pesos), raw and annually supplies (187,635 pesos), costs of fixed investment (309,543 pesos), deferred (35,087 pesos), annual costs (108,692 pesos) and revenue (3´077, 280 pesos). The results were going NPV = 6´745, 459.75 pesos; TIR = 44.15%; R B/C = 2.16 pesos and N/K = 21.73. To perform the analysis of sensitivity of total costs and total income, the project stand a decrease in the first of an increase of 20%, while in the second case it stand a decrease of 20%. However, the project shows viability.

Remarks. Lethierry (1889) described this species based on unspecified number of specimens collected from Calcutta. In NMNH, Paris there is a single male (Figs 8A–D) labeled as the type which was examined. Distant (1908) has adequately described the species, Pruthi (1925), Anufiriev (1970), Viraktamath (1997), Xue et al. (2020) illustrated the male genitalia and the latter two the female genitalia also. This is a common species breeding on young leaves and inflorescences of mango (Mangifera indica (L.), Anacardiaceae) in north and part of south India. During the off season (when young leaves and inflorescences are not available for breeding), the adult leafhoppers congregate on tree trunks.

Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies in the Local Universe

description: We use the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) for emission-line galaxies to identify and describe a sample of local analogues to the luminous compact blue galaxies (LCBGs) that are observed to be abundant at intermediate and high redshift. The sample is selected using criteria believed effective at isolating true examples of LCBGs: SB_e(B-band) < 21.0 mag/arcsec^2, M(B) < -18.5 (for H_o = 75 km/s/Mpc), and B-V < 0.6. Additionally, all LCBG candidates presented are selected to have star-formation as their dominant form of activity. We examine the properties of our LCBGs and compare them to those of other KISS star-forming galaxies of the same absolute magnitude range. We find that the KISS LCBGs lie on the extreme end of a fairly continuous distribution of ``normal'' star-forming galaxies in the plane of surface brightness versus color. This result differs from the results of previous studies that show LCBGs at higher-z to be more separate from the ``normal'' (usually non-active) galaxies they are compared against. On average, LCBGs have a higher tendency to emit detectable flux in the radio continuum, have higher H-alpha luminosities by a factor of 1.6, indicating strong star-formation activity, and have slightly lower than expected metal abundances based on the luminosity-metallicity relation for KISS galaxies. We calculate the volume density of our low-z (z<0.045) sample to be 5.4 x 10^-4 h_75^3 Mpc^-3, approximately 4 times lower than the volume density of the LCBGs at 0.4 < z < 0.7 and ~10 times lower than the volume density of the population at 0.7 < z < 1.0.

description: In this study, we explore the impact of inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution of interstellar dust on spatial scales of $\le1$ au caused by ion shadowing forces on the optical properties of diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) as well as on the dust temperature. We show that recently proposed possibility that interstellar dust grains in the diffuse ISM are grouped in spherical cloudlets (clumps) may significantly affect the observed optical properties of the diffuse ISM in comparison to that calculated under the commonly accepted assumption on the uniform dust/gas mixture if the size of clumps $\gtrsim0.1$ au. We found that opacity of an arbitrary region of diffuse ISM quickly decreases with growth of dusty clumps. We also studied the dependence of opacity and dust temperature inside the dusty clumps on their size. We show that the clumps larger than 0.1 au are opaque for far ultraviolet radiation. Dust temperature exhibit a gradient inside a clump, decreasing from the edge to the center by several degrees for a clump of a size of 0.1 au and larger. We argue that dust temperatures and high opacity within clumps larger than 0.1 au may facilitate somewhat more efficient synthesis of molecules on surfaces of interstellar grains in the diffuse ISM than it was anticipated previously. On the other hand, the presence of clumps with sizes below 0.1 au makes small or negligible influence on the optical properties of the diffuse ISM in comparison to the case with uniform dust/gas mixture.

Here are some of the results we can point out: a) The Kalungas are below poverty level, being part of them below destitution level; b) It´s necessary to find alternatives to genera-te income for community survival; c) KMJ is an enterprise focused on market economy and is far from being a fair trade experience or ethical solidary trade; d) KMJ poses an alternative for the commercialization of Kalunga products and the relationship set up by the enterprise provides a significant increase of the family income; e) The challenge for the building-up of a new model to organize production, distribution and consumption of socially produced goods, as well as the exercise of alter-native experiments can indeed be faced by the Kalungas, provided they have the support of public policies which, universal as they are, don´t fail to regard the unique features of their ethnic group.

description: We investigate the relation between the η^3He binding energy and width and the (complex) η^3He scattering length. Following our systematic analysis of the eta 3He scattering length we set limits on the η^3He binding. If bound states exist the binding energy (width) should not exceed 5 MeV (10 MeV). In addition, we comment on a recently claimed observation of an η-mesic ^3He quasi-bound state by the TAPS collaboration based on ηphotoproduction data. Although our limits are in reasonable agreement with the values reported by this collaboration, our analysis of these data does not lead to a solid conclusion concerning the existence of an η-mesic bound state. More dedicated experiments are necessary for further clarification.

description: Context. Classical T Tauri stars (cTTs) are pre-main sequence stars surrounded by an accretion disk. They host a strong magnetic field, and both magnetospheric accretion and ejection processes develop as the young magnetic star interacts with its disk. Studying this interaction is a major goal toward understanding the properties of young stars and their evolution. Aims. The goal of this study is to investigate the accretion process in the young stellar system HQ Tau, an intermediate-mass T Tauri star (1.9 M$_{\odot}$). Methods. The time variability of the system is investigated both photometrically, using Kepler-K2 and complementary light curves, and from a high-resolution spectropolarimetric time series obtained with ESPaDOnS at CFHT. Results. The quasi-sinusoidal Kepler-K2 light curve exhibits a period of 2.424 d, which we ascribe to the rotational period of the star. The radial velocity of the system shows the same periodicity, as expected from the modulation of the photospheric line profiles by surface spots. A similar period is found in the red wing of several emission lines (e.g., HI, CaII, NaI), due to the appearance of inverse P Cygni components, indicative of accretion funnel flows. Signatures of outflows are also seen in the line profiles, some being periodic, others transient. The polarimetric analysis indicates a complex, moderately strong magnetic field which is possibly sufficient to truncate the inner disk close to the corotation radius, r$_{cor}$ $\sim$3.5 R$_{\star}$. Additionally, we report HQ Tau to be a spectroscopic binary candidate whose orbit remains to be determined. Conclusions. The results of this study expand upon those previously reported for low-mass T Tauri stars, as they indicate that the magnetospheric accretion process may still operate in intermediate-mass pre-main sequence stars, such as HQ Tau.

description: Spectroscopic studies play a key role in the identification and analysis of interstellar ices and their structure. Some molecules have been identified within the interstellar ices either as pure, mixed, or even as layered structures. Absorption band features of water ice can significantly change with the presence of different types of impurities (CO, CO2, CH3OH, H2CO, etc.). In this work, we carried out a theoretical investigation to understand the behavior of water band frequency, and strength in the presence of impurities. The computational study has been supported and complemented by some infrared spectroscopy experiments aimed at verifying the effect of HCOOH, NH3 , and CH3 OH on the band profiles of pure H2O ice. Specifically, we explored the effect on the band strength of libration, bending, bulk stretching, and free-OH stretching modes. Computed band strength profiles have been compared with our new and existing experimental results, thus pointing out that vibrational modes of H2O and their intensities can change considerably in the presence of impurities at different concentrations. In most cases, the bulk stretching mode is the most affected vibration, while the bending is the least affected mode. HCOOH was found to have a strong influence on the libration, bending, and bulk stretching band profiles. In the case of NH3, the free-OH stretching band disappears when the impurity concentration becomes 50%. This work will ultimately aid a correct interpretation of future detailed spaceborne observations of interstellar ices by means of the upcoming JWST mission.

Imitation-based learning of bipedal walking using locally weighted learning
Creators: name: Loken, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Walking is an extremely challenging problem due to its dynamically unstable nature. It is further complicated by the high dimensional continuous state and action spaces. We use locally weighted projection regression (LWPR) as a locally structurally adaptive nonlinear function approximator as the basis for learned control policies. Empirical evidence suggests that control policies for high dimensional problems exist on low dimensional manifolds. The LWPR algorithm models this manifold in a computationally efficient manner as it only models those states which are visited using a local dimensionality reduction technique based on partial least squares regression. We show that local models are capable of learning control policies for physics-based simulations of planar bipedal walking. Locally structured control policies are learned from observation of a variety of different inputs including observation of human control and existing parametrized control policies. We extend the pose control graph to the concept of policy control graph and show that this representation allows for the learning of transition points between different control policies.

description: The WTO is witnessing an increasing intrusion of its remit into areas that hitherto were the preserve of the state. This makes the legitimacy of its law creation process critical. The article engages in analyses of the conditionalities in developed countries’ Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) schemes, notably those of the EU. It argues that the maintenance of conditionalities in developed countries’ GSP schemes can result in extra regulatory burdens for developing countries and can have the effect of creating WTO law by stealth. The analyses centre on the Appellate Body decision in the EC - Tariff Preferences case.

Year: 2023

description: The Cross-Linguistic Transcription Systems (CLTS, https://clts.clld.org) project serves as a reference catalogue for speech sounds. At the core of the project is a generative method that parses existing IPA transcriptions (or transcriptions in other supported transcription systems) and checks if they conform to the principles and components laid out in the reference catalogue. As a result, Cross-Linguistic Transcription Systems is much more than a simple list of possible speech sounds transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet, but a system that allows to generate possible speech sounds and to check if sounds provided in various transcription systems contain problems. This study gives a short overview on the basic ideas that lead to the creation of the database and the parsing method and provides some examples showing how it can be employed in practice.

description: The present study focuses on giving a short overview of different organizational structures and of most famous Agile frameworks, in order to provide a background context for conducting research in a small software company. By focusing on a specific software company, the study aims to assess the effectiveness of the organizational structure selected for this company and if and how this structure relates to the success -or not- of Agile implementation. The population of the study includes the aforementioned software company and the participants are 28 employees of this company and the 3 people of whom the company's leadership consists. The literature review of Agile, the differences, advantages and disadvantages of each organizational structure as well as the personal professional experience of the author in the company as well as in the field of Agile helped formulate the objectives and research questions of this study. A questionnaire was designed and provided to the 28 participants and follow-up clarifications, comments and interviews with the leadership were conducted when needed. Literature review demonstrates that choosing the appropriate structure to fit the organization or having the ability to adjust it as efficiently when needed, is crucial for every organization. By analysing the questionnaire results and assessing important findings revealed during the interviews, the study revealed that the employees and the company’s leadership perceive the simplicity of structure of the company as a factor that contributes to the successful operation of the company, as they feel it aids in establishing direct communication, cooperation, adaptability, fast decision-making and cross-functionality that are needed in order for Agile software development practices to succeed.

description: Bien que le potentiel des bioénergies dans l’atténuation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) provenant des combustibles fossiles soit fortement discuté, plusieurs pays développés, tels que les Etats-Unis, l’Union européenne, et le Japon, se sont fixés depuis plusieurs années déjà des objectifs ambitieux d’incorporation des bioénergies dans leur bouquet énergétique, afin de réduire leurs émissions GES, notamment dans le secteur des transports. Les bioénergies sont présentées comme une alternative à la fois renouvelable et relativement propre aux combustibles fossiles. Les politiques mises en oeuvre donnent lieu à peu d’importations et pourtant, pour permettre d’atteindre une part de 10 % de biocarburants dans la consommation de combustibles dans les transports, les Etats-Unis, le Canada et l’UE auraient besoin d’utiliser respectivement 30 %, 36 % et 72 % de leurs terres agricoles (von Lampe, 2006). Un modèle théorique très simplifié de l’économie mondiale montre que l’ouverture au commerce des bioénergies aurait comme conséquence d’augmenter les émissions de GES si les pays du Sud ont un avantage comparatif dans le secteur industriel, ou au contraire de les diminuer grâce aux importations de bioénergie si ce sont les pays du Nord qui ont le secteur industriel le plus performant.

Given that the basic algorithm by which orthography profiles can be used to segment and convert sequences across orthographies is very straightforward, it can be easily implemented in JavaScript.

description: The Vela and Puppis A supernova remnants (SNRs) comprise a large emission region of $\sim 8^{\circ}$ diameter in the soft X-ray sky. The HaloSat CubeSat mission provides the first soft X-ray ($0.4-7$ keV) observation of the entire Vela SNR and Puppis A SNR region with a single pointing and moderate spectral resolution. HaloSat observations of the Vela SNR are best fit with a two-temperature thermal plasma model consisting of a cooler component with $kT_{1} = 0.19^{+0.01}_{-0.01}$ keV in collisional ionization equilibrium and a hotter component with $kT_{2} = 1.06^{+0.45}_{-0.27}$ keV in non-equilibrium ionization. Observations of the Puppis A SNR are best fit with a single-component plane-parallel shocked plasma model with $kT = 0.86^{+0.06}_{-0.05}$ keV in non-equilibrium ionization. For the first time, we find the total X-ray luminosities of both components of the Vela SNR spectrum in the $0.5-7$ keV energy band to be $L_X = 4.4^{+1.4}_{-1.4} \times 10^{34}$ erg s$^{-1}$ for the cooler component and $L_X = 4.1^{+1.8}_{-1.5} \times 10^{34}$ erg s$^{-1}$ for the hotter component. We find the total X-ray luminosities of the Vela and Puppis A SNRs to be $L_{\text{X}} = 8.4 \times 10^{34}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and $L_X = 6.7^{+1.1}_{-0.9} \times 10^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$.

description: The Dogon and Bangime Linguistics project (https://dogonlanguages.org) offers a large comparative spreadsheet in which translational equivalents for a huge number of concepts are translated into various Dogon languages.  Due to its enormous size, no attempts have been made so far to integrate the spreadsheet with the lexical resources that were compiled as part of the CLDF initiative in order to populate the Lexibank repository. Here, we report a first attempt to circumvent the problems resulting from the size of the spreadsheet by convert not all but parts of the spreadsheet to CLDF Wordlist standards, which allows us to integrate parts of the data with other resources in Lexibank.

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic liver tumors (MLT) are the most common malignant liver lesions, each requiring distinct therapeutic approaches. Accurate differentiation between these malignancies is critical for appropriate treatment planning and prognostication. However, there is limited data on the performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound liver imaging reporting and data system (CEUS-LI-RADS) in this differentiation. To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the CEUS-LI-RADS in distinguishing between HCC and MLT in an expanded population at risk for both tumors. Between June 2017 and January 2022, 108 patients with HCC and 138 patients with MLT who were pathologically diagnosed, where included in this retrospective study. Two radiologists independently reviewed the CEUS features and liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) categories of the lesions, and based on their consensus, we calculated the diagnostic performance, including the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the CEUS-LI-RADS criteria. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CEUS LI-RADS category 5 (CEUS-LR-5) for predicting HCC were 49.1% [95% confidence interval (CI)) 39.3–58.9], 97.1% (95% CI 92.7–99.2), and 76%, respectively, whereas the corresponding values for LI-RADS category M (LR-M) for diagnosing MLT were 89.1% (95%CI 82.7-93.8), 72.2% (95%CI 62.8-80.4), and 81.7%, respectively. Based on current LR-M criteria, a small proportion of HCCs were classified as LR-M due to the presence of early cessation (45–60s). In the analysis of the MLT subgroup, we found that the tumor size affects the distribution of LI-RADS (LR) classification in the subgroup (p = 0.037), and LI-RADS category 3 (LR-3) classification was observed more frequently in tumors of small size (≤3cm) than those of larger size. In addition, LR-3 metastases were more frequently characterized by hypovascular supply. CEUS-LI-RADS demonstrates high specificity in distinguishing HCC from MLT, providing a reliable noninvasive diagnostic tool that can enhance clinical decision-making. These findings are clinically significant as they can improve patient management and treatment outcomes, and they underscore the need for future research to refine and expand the use of CEUS-LI-RADS in diverse clinical settings.

description: We revisited the phase diagram of the second layer of 4He on top of graphite using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our aim was to explore the existence of the novel phases suggested recently in experimental works, and determine their properties and stability limits. We found evidence of a superfluid quantum phase with hexatic correlations, induced by the corrugation of the first Helium layer, and a quasi-two-dimensional supersolid corresponding to a 7/12 registered phase. The 4/7 commensurate solid was found to be unstable, while the triangular incommensurate crystals, stable at large densities, were normal.

description: L'objectif de cet article est de calculer l'efficacité économique et environnementale liée à l'utilisation des eaux souterraines dans les petits périmètres irrigués de la Tunisie. L'impact environnemental pris en compte dans notre étude est le niveau d'épuisement de l'eau dans les aquifères profonds, due à l’exploitation agricole irriguée. Cet impact a été approché par le coût supplémentaire d'énergie en plus de l'amortissement annuel des investissements réalisés pour améliorer l'appropriation des eaux souterraines. De cette manière, nous pouvons mesurer le potentiel de réduction de l'épuisement de l’aquifère tout en conservant le même niveau de production agricole. La méthodologie utilisée dans cette étude est l'analyse d'enveloppement des données (DEA), qui est une méthode non paramétrique largement utilisé pour le calcul de l'efficacité technique et environnementale. Les données ont été recueillies dans le cadre du sondage des agriculteurs fait dans la région de Nadhour dans le centre de la Tunisie. Deux scénarios ont été simulés, dans le premier scénario, nous considérons l'application stricte des règlementations actuelles où les agriculteurs devront se concentrer sur la réduction de leur consommation d'eau. Dans le deuxième scénario, les acteurs se concentrent d'abord sur l'amélioration de la productivité de l’activité agricole, puis vont lutter contre l'appauvrissement de l'eau qui sera considérée comme deuxième priorité. Les résultats montrent que l’épuisement de la nappe phréatique peut être réduit à 40% si l'on considère comme une première étape urgente à réaliser dans la zone d'étude. Par contre, si nous améliorons la productivité des agriculteurs, l’inefficacité environnementale restante à éviter serait seulement de 15%.

description: The simplest examples of gauged supergravities are N=1 or N=2 theories with Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms. FI terms in supergravity imply that the R-symmetry is gauged. Also the U(1) or SU(2) local symmetries of Kaehler and quaternionic-Kaehler manifolds contribute to R-symmetry gauge fields. This short review clarifies the relations.

A New Dataset with Phonological Reconstructions in Lexibank

Publisher: name: Computer-Assisted Language Comparison in Practice
Year: 2023

description: Data in historical linguistics is typically presented in non-machine-readable formats, such as text-based supplementary material or even handwritten manuscripts. Many annotations and important facts are given in prose or remain within linguists' heads. Those problems make it difficult for non-experts in the specific field to understand the data, and to reproduce and replicate the results, and also limits the exposure that linguists receive for their hard work. Similar to previous blog posts on retro-standardizing data, we present the digitization of a dataset that includes phonological reconstructions. By representing this kind of data in CLDF, we can apply a variety of computer-assisted methods to assess the quality of the reconstructions.

description: This piece of work is aimed at arguing the advantages and disadvantages as well as the challenges of the blockchain technology and if this distributed ledger system, has the potential to replace current regulatory bodies and intermediaries in the financial services sector, specifically in terms of identity management and more generally. This would seem to have been the vision of the originators of the technology back in 2009/10. To create a self-sustainable, secure environment for transactions of monetary nature. In this piece of work, it is the intention to follow a specific argument in order to demonstrate that this “original idea” is not something which is likely to survive or become main stream. Rather, arguments will be made to demonstrate that likely there will be a hybrid of “old” and “new” emerging. The solution suggested to harvest the full potential of those new emerging technologies, amongst others, customer identity management, is to streamline existing processes by involving regulatory bodies in the process of setting up new services for transacting and managing identities, as the need for oversight, due to technological flaws, cannot be argued away completely.

Year: 2023

description: In the Concepticon project, we add more concept lists, improve the links to concept sets, and discuss ambiguous cases regularly. With every new release, the Concepticon is updated and the changes are published. Here, I discuss the improvements we integrated into the newest version: Concepticon 3.1. After covering the new lists that were added to Concepticon in this release, I describe the process of refining concept relations and mappings. I also demonstrate how we deal with inconsistencies in the data we encounter using the example of a wordlist that proved to be inconsistent. The aim is to inform about the processes and discussions that led to the new version of Concepticon.

Full radiative coupling in two-phase models for accreting black holes

description: The emission from galactic black holes and Seyfert galaxies is generally understood in term of two-phase models (Haardt and Maraschi 1991, 1993). Such models postulate that a hot plasma coexists with relatively colder material in the inner part of the accretion flow. We present the first simulated broad-band spectra produced by such a system and accounting simultaneously for energy balance and Comptonisation in the hot phase, together with reflection, reprocessing, ionization and thermal balance in the cold phase. This was made possible by coupling three radiative transfer codes: a non-linear Monte-Carlo code (NLMC), a photo-ionization code TITAN and a linear Monte-Carlo code NOAR. The equilibrium comptonisation spectrum appears to be sensitive to the shape of the reprocessed spectrum that, in turn, depends on the ionization parameter, but also on the structure of the irradiated cold material. This is illustrated by a comparison of simulations assuming constant density or a constant pressure in the cold phase. We also compare our results with simplified models where reprocessing is approximated by a blackbody spectrum. Our detailed treatment leads to noticeably different spectral energy distributions (SEDs) characterised by harder X-ray spectra. Even at low ionization parameters the commonly used blackbody approximation is poor, leading to X-ray spectra that are too soft. The effect, however, seems not to be strong enough to reconcile the slab corona model with the hardest observed spectra, unless the reflector has a constant density and the ionization parameter is large.
