description: Artificial object perception usually relies on a priori defined models and feature extraction algorithms. We study how the concept of object can be grounded in the sensorimotor experience of a naive agent. Without any knowledge about itself or the world it is immersed in, the agent explores its sensorimotor space and identifies objects as consistent networks of sensorimotor transitions, independent from their context. A fundamental drive for prediction is assumed to explain the emergence of such networks from a developmental standpoint. An algorithm is proposed and tested to illustrate the approach.

description: В последние десятилетия в Российской Федерации совершенствование крупного рогатого скота молочных пород для улучшения продуктивных и племенных качеств проводится ме- тодом скрещивания с высокопродуктивной голштинской породой. Использование значитель- ного количества зарубежного племенного материала при совершенствовании племенных и продуктивных признаков крупного рогатого скота отечественных молочных пород способ- ствует постоянной изменчивости генетической структуры популяций, что требует непре- рывного наблюдения и изучения для повышения эффективности селекционной работы. Цель исследований – изучить в современных популяциях племенного поголовья холмогорской, черно-пестрой и ярославской пород продуктивные признаки коров 1-го отела различных генотипов и их взаимосвязь с долей кровности по голштинской породе. Исследования проводили с ис- пользованием данных информационно-аналитической системы «СЕЛЭКС – молочный скот» по племенным хозяйствам Вологодской области. Анализ состава племенных коров 1-го отела по степени кровности голштинской породы выявил, что 99,7% животных черно-пестрой по- роды имеют различную долю крови, холмогорской – 99,3%, ярославской – 92,4%. Установлено, что у животных черно-пестрой породы наблюдается прямая положительная связь надоя и степени кровности (r = 0,23) (Р ≤ 0,001). У коров 1-го отела холмогорской породы рост на- доя отмечается при вводном скрещивании до степени кровности не более 50%, далее идет спад продуктивности. В популяции ярославской породы молочная продуктивность коров уве- личивается вместе с повышением кровности до 75%. Скрещивание с голштинами в популя- ции черно-пестрой породы не ухудшает качественные показатели молока. А в популяциях холмогорской и ярославской пород при повышении степени кровности по голштинской породе более 50% установлено снижение показателей массовой доли жира и белка в молоке коров.

description: Simultaneous measurements of position and momentum are considered in $n$ dimensions. We find, that for a particle whose position is strictly localized in a compact domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ (spatial uncertainty) with non-empty boundary, the standard deviation of its momentum is sharply bounded by $σ_p \geq λ_1^{1/2}\hbar$, while $λ_1$ is the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on $D$.

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An approximation to the added mass matrix of an assembly of spheres is constructed on the basis of potential flow theory for situations where one sphere is much larger than the others. In the approximation the flow potential near a small sphere is assumed to be dipolar, but near the large sphere it involves all higher order multipoles. The analysis is based on an exact result for the potential of a magnetic dipole in the presence of a superconducting sphere. Subsequently, the approximate added mass hydrodynamic interactions are used in a calculation of the swimming velocity and rate of dissipation of linear chain structures consisting of a number of small spheres and a single large one, with account also of frictional hydrodynamic interactions. The results derived for periodic swimming on the basis of a kinematic approach are compared with bilinear theory, valid for small amplitude of stroke, and with the numerical solution of the approximate equations of motion. The calculations cover the whole range of scale number between the friction-dominated Stokes limit and the inertia-dominated regime.

description: Скрещивание маточного поголовья отечественных молочных пород с быками-производителями голштинской породы оказало неоднозначное влияние на воспроизводитель-ные признаки потомства. Целью исследования являлось изучить воспроизводительные призна-ки племенных коров 1-го отёла различных генотипов по голштинской породе в популяциях черно-пестрой, холмогорской и ярославской пород Вологодской области. Расчет коэффициентов корреляции в популяциях молочных пород между степенью кровности по голштинской породе и показателями воспроизводства коров 1-го отела выявил слабую зависимость кратности осе-менения, сервис-периода и живой массы при 1-ом плодотворном осеменении от генотипа жи-вотных (r = 0,002-0,07). В популяциях черно-пестрой и ярославской пород выявлена высоко-достоверная (P≤0,001), отрицательная, умеренной силы (r = -0,24; -0,26) корреляция между степенью кровности по голштинской породе и возрастом 1-го плодотворного осеменения и 1-го отёла. Тренды изменения показателей возраста 1-го плодотворного осеменения с повышением доли кровности по голштинской породе в популяциях молочных пород указывают на снижение данных показателей при увеличении степени кровности. У коров 1-го отёла в популяции хол-могорской породы прослеживается тренд на сокращение продолжительности сервис-периода с увеличением степени кровности по голштинской породе. А в популяциях черно-пестрой и яро-славской пород наблюдается другая закономерность – с увеличение степени кровности увели-чивается и продолжительность сервис-периода, что обусловлено положительной корреляцией продолжительности сервис-периода и молочной продуктивности коров в этих породных попу-ляциях (r = +0,33; +0,27 при Р≤0,001). Полученные результаты исследования показали, что скрещивание с голштинской породой не ухудшило воспроизводительные признаки коров мо-лочных пород. А снижение возраста первого плодотворного осеменения коров способствует по-вышению эффективности молочного скотоводства.
Notes on the Qubit Phase Space and Discrete Symplectic Structures

description: We start from Wootter's construction of discrete phase spaces and Wigner functions for qubits and more generally for finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We look at this framework from a non-commutative space perspective and we focus on the Moyal product and the differential calculus on the discrete phase spaces. In particular, the qubit phase space provides the simplest example of a four-point non-commutative phase space. We give an explicit expression of the Moyal bracket as a differential operator. We then compare the quantum dynamics encoded by the Moyal bracket to the classical dynamics: we show that the classical Poisson bracket does not satisfy the Jacobi identity thus leaving the Moyal bracket as the only consistent symplectic structure. We finally generalizes our analysis to Hilbert spaces of prime dimensions d and their associated d*d phase spaces.

Incremental Exact Min-Cut in Poly-logarithmic Amortized Update Time

description: We present a deterministic incremental algorithm for \textit{exactly} maintaining the size of a minimum cut with $\widetilde{O}(1)$ amortized time per edge insertion and $O(1)$ query time. This result partially answers an open question posed by Thorup [Combinatorica 2007]. It also stays in sharp contrast to a polynomial conditional lower-bound for the fully-dynamic weighted minimum cut problem. Our algorithm is obtained by combining a recent sparsification technique of Kawarabayashi and Thorup [STOC 2015] and an exact incremental algorithm of Henzinger [J. of Algorithm 1997]. We also study space-efficient incremental algorithms for the minimum cut problem. Concretely, we show that there exists an ${O}(n\log n/\varepsilon^2)$ space Monte-Carlo algorithm that can process a stream of edge insertions starting from an empty graph, and with high probability, the algorithm maintains a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation to the minimum cut. The algorithm has $\widetilde{O}(1)$ amortized update-time and constant query-time.

Paradoxes and Primitive Ontology in Collapse Theories of Quantum Mechanics
Creators: name: Tumulka, Roderich
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Collapse theories are versions of quantum mechanics according to which the collapse of the wave function is a real physical process. They propose precise mathematical laws to govern this process and to replace the vague conventional prescription that a collapse occurs whenever an "observer" makes a "measurement." The "primitive ontology" of a theory (more or less what Bell called the "local beables") are the variables in the theory that represent matter in space-time. There is no consensus about whether collapse theories need to introduce a primitive ontology as part of their definition. I make some remarks on this question and point out that certain paradoxes about collapse theories are absent if a primitive ontology is introduced.

description: Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) in the 1-100 meter size range are estimated to be $\sim$1,000 times more numerous than the $\sim$15,000 currently-catalogued NEAs, most of which are in the 0.5-10 kilometer size range. Impacts from 10-100 meter size NEAs are not statistically life-threatening but may cause significant regional damage, while 1-10 meter size NEAs with low velocities relative to Earth are compelling targets for space missions. We describe the implementation and initial results of a real-time NEA-discovery system specialized for the detection of small, high angular rate (visually-streaked) NEAs in Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) images. PTF is a 1.2-m aperture, 7.3-deg$^2$ field-of-view optical survey designed primarily for the discovery of extragalactic transients (e.g., supernovae) in 60-second exposures reaching $\sim$20.5 visual magnitude. Our real-time NEA discovery pipeline uses a machine-learned classifier to filter a large number of false-positive streak detections, permitting a human scanner to efficiently and remotely identify real asteroid streaks during the night. Upon recognition of a streaked NEA detection (typically within an hour of the discovery exposure), the scanner triggers follow-up with the same telescope and posts the observations to the Minor Planet Center for worldwide confirmation. We describe our ten initial confirmed discoveries, all small NEAs that passed 0.3-15 lunar distances from Earth. Lastly, we derive useful scaling laws for comparing streaked-NEA-detection capabilities of different surveys as a function of their hardware and survey-pattern characteristics. This work most directly informs estimates of the streak-detection capabilities of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF, planned to succeed PTF in 2017), which will apply PTF's current resolution and sensitivity over a 47-deg$^2$ field-of-view.

Universal Darwinism as a process of Bayesian inference
Creators: name: Campbell, John O.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many of the mathematical frameworks describing natural selection are equivalent to Bayes Theorem, also known as Bayesian updating. By definition, a process of Bayesian Inference is one which involves a Bayesian update, so we may conclude that these frameworks describe natural selection as a process of Bayesian inference. Thus natural selection serves as a counter example to a widely-held interpretation that restricts Bayesian Inference to human mental processes (including the endeavors of statisticians). As Bayesian inference can always be cast in terms of (variational) free energy minimization, natural selection can be viewed as comprising two components: a generative model of an "experiment" in the external world environment, and the results of that "experiment" or the "surprise" entailed by predicted and actual outcomes of the "experiment". Minimization of free energy implies that the implicit measure of "surprise" experienced serves to update the generative model in a Bayesian manner. This description closely accords with the mechanisms of generalized Darwinian process proposed both by Dawkins, in terms of replicators and vehicles, and Campbell, in terms of inferential systems. Bayesian inference is an algorithm for the accumulation of evidence-based knowledge. This algorithm is now seen to operate over a wide range of evolutionary processes, including natural selection, the evolution of mental models and cultural evolutionary processes, notably including science itself. The variational principle of free energy minimization may thus serve as a unifying mathematical framework for universal Darwinism, the study of evolutionary processes operating throughout nature.

description: Across several species, females are known to have olfactory abilities superior to males. Human studies have shown that women have lower olfactory thresholds and are better at odor discrimination and identification relative to men. Studies in mice reveal that odor-elicited spatiotemporal activation of olfactory sensory neurons is higher in females than males. The differences are likely brought about by circulating sex hormones. Glomerular odor activation patterns of gonadectomized females and control males are similar, and activation maps of gonadectomized males are similar to that of control females. Our study explores sex differences in olfaction from an oscillatory perspective. Olfactory bulb (OB) local field potentials (LFPs) represent the coordinated activity of bulbar neurons. Olfactory gamma (40-110 Hz) and beta (15- 30 Hz) oscillations have been characterized with respect to their circuits and functions. Spontaneous and odor-evoked OB LFPs were recorded from awake rats at the same time for 12 days. Odors used included urine of both sexes and monomolecular odorants characterized previously for correlation of volatility with behavior and OB oscillations. Sampling duration, spectral composition, and gamma and beta power ratios were analyzed. We report that sniff duration in females is shorter relative to males. Females also show lower gamma and beta power ratios relative to males.

description: In this paper, inspired by the ultraviolet deformation of the Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker geometry in loop quantum cosmology, we formulate an infrared-modified cosmological model. We obtain the associated deformed Friedmann and Raychaudhuri equations and we show that the late time cosmic acceleration can be addressed by the infrared corrections. As a particular example, we applied the setup to the case of matter dominated universe. This model has the same number of parameters as $Λ$CDM, but a dynamical dark energy generates in the matter dominated era at the late time. According to our model, as the universe expands, the energy density of the cold dark matter dilutes and when the Hubble parameter approaches to its minimum, the infrared effects dominate such that the effective equation of state parameter smoothly changes from $w_{_{\rm eff}}=0$ to $w_{_{\rm eff}}=-2$. Interestingly and nontrivially, the unstable de Sitter phase with $w_{_{\rm eff}}=-1$ is corresponding to $Ω_m=Ω_d =0.5$ and the universe crosses the phantom divide from the quintessence phase with $w_{_{\rm eff}}>-1$ and $Ω_m> Ω_d$ to the phantom phase with $w_{_{\rm eff}}

Sliding friction in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime for a power-law fluid
Creators: name: Warren, Patrick B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A scaling analysis is undertaken for the load balance in sliding friction in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime, with a particular emphasis on power-law shear-thinning typical of a structured liquid. It is argued that the shear-thinning regime is mechanically unstable if the power-law index n < 1/2, where n is the exponent that relates the shear stress to the shear rate. Consequently the Stribeck (friction) curve should be discontinuous, with possible hysteresis. Further analysis suggests that normal stress and flow transience (stress overshoot) do not destroy this basic picture, although they may provide stabilising mechanisms at higher shear rates. Extensional viscosity is also expected to be insignificant unless the Trouton ratio is large. A possible application to shear thickening in non-Brownian particulate suspensions is indicated.

description: The investigation of the ultimate limits imposed by quantum mechanics on amplification represents an important topic both on a fundamental level and from the perspective of potential applications. We propose here a novel setup for an optomechanical amplifier, constituted by a mechanical resonator dispersively coupled to an optomechanical cavity asymmetrically driven around both mechanical sidebands. We show that, on general grounds, the present amplifier operates in a novel regime-- which we here call phase-mixing amplification. At the same time, for a suitable choice of parameters, the amplifier proposed here operates as a phase-sensitive amplifier. Furthermore, we show that both configurations allow amplification below the standard quantum limit in a parameter range compatible with current experiments in microwave circuit optomechanics.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: Foreign Direct Investment, Economy, Gross Domestic Product, Exports, and Foreign Exchange Reserves.

description: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays an important role in global business. It can provide a firm with new marketing channels, cheaper production facilities, access to technology transfer, product, skills and financing. With the advent of globalization and strong governmental support, foreign investment has helped the Indian economy grow tremendously. India has continuously sought to attract investment from the world’s major investors. In 1998 and 1999, the Government of India announced a number of reforms designed to encourage and promote a favorable business environment for investors. Foreign investments in the country can take in the form of investments in listed companies i.e., Foreign Institutional Investors’(FIIs) investments, investments in listed/unlisted companies other than through stock exchanges i.e., through the foreign direct investment or private equity/foreign venture capital investment route, investments through American Depository Receipts (ADR), Global Depository Receipts (GDR), or investments by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) in various forms. This paper attempts to review the importance of foreign direct investments in Indian economy, particularly after a decade of economic reforms and analyze the role played by the FDI in the economic development of the country. The study is diagnostic and exploratory in nature and makes use of secondary data. The study finds and concludes that the foreign direct investment in India have significantly improved and developed the economy as well. Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, Economy, Gross Domestic Product, Exports, and Foreign Exchange Reserves.

description: We begin with a basic exploration of the (point-set topological) notion of Hausdorff closed limits in the spacetime setting. Specifically, we show that this notion of limit is well suited to sequences of achronal sets, and use this to generalize the `achronal limits' introduced in [12]. This, in turn, allows for a broad generalization of the notion of Lorentzian horosphere introduced in [12]. We prove a new rigidity result for such horospheres, which in a sense encodes various spacetime splitting results, including the basic Lorentzian splitting theorem. We use this to give a partial proof of the Bartnik splitting conjecture, under a new condition involving past and future Cauchy horospheres, which is weaker than those considered in [10] and [12]. We close with some observations on spacetimes with spacelike causal boundary, including a rigidity result in the positive cosmological constant case.

description: We obtain a complete classification of a large class of non almost periodic free Araki-Woods factors $Γ(μ,m)"$ up to isomorphism. We do this by showing that free Araki-Woods factors $Γ(μ, m)"$ arising from finite symmetric Borel measures $μ$ on $\mathbf{R}$ whose atomic part $μ_a$ is nonzero and not concentrated on $\{0\}$ have the joint measure class $\mathcal C(\bigvee_{k \geq 1} μ^{\ast k})$ as an invariant. Our key technical result is a deformation/rigidity criterion for the unitary conjugacy of two faithful normal states. We use this to also deduce rigidity and classification theorems for free product von Neumann algebras.

The contributions of orders $α^3\divα^6$ to the vacuum polarization, nuclear structure and recoil, relativistic effects are taken into account. Our numerical results are consistent with previous calculations and improve them due to account of new corrections. The obtained results can be used for the comparison with future experimental data, and extraction more accurate values of nuclear charge radii.

description: Plasmonic nanoantennas have been recently proposed to boost nonlinear optical processes. In a metal dipole nanoantenna with a dielectric nanoparticle placed in the gap, the linear field enhancement can be exploited to enhance third harmonic emission. Since both metals and dielectrics exhibit nonlinearity, the nonlinear far-field contains contributions from each, and the impossibility of measuring these contributions separately has led to seemingly contradictory interpretations about the origin of the nonlinear emission. We determine that the origin of the third harmonic from metal-dielectric dipole nanoantennas depends on nanoantenna design, and in particular, the width. We find that the emission from gold dominates in thin threadlike nanoantennas, whereas the emission from the gap material dominates in wider nanoantennas. We also find that monopole nanoantennas perform better than dipoles having the same width, and due to their simplicity should be preferred in many applications.

description: We report on some quantum properties of physical systems, namely, entanglement, nonlocality, $k$-copy nonlocality (superactivation of nonlocality), hidden nonlocality (activation of nonlocality through local filtering) and the activation of nonlocality through tensoring and local filtering. The aim of this work is two-fold. First, we provide a review of the numerical procedures that must be followed in order to calculate the aforementioned properties, in particular, for any two-qubit system, and reproduce the bounds for two-qudit Werner states. Second, we use such numerical tools to calculate new bounds of these properties for two-qudit Isotropic states and two-qubit Hirsch states.

description: InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are widely used in practical applications requiring near-infrared photon counting such as quantum key distribution (QKD). Photon detection efficiency and dark count rate are the intrinsic parameters of InGaAs/InP SPADs, due to the fact that their performances cannot be improved using different quenching electronics given the same operation conditions. After modeling these parameters and developing a simulation platform for InGaAs/InP SPADs, we investigate the semiconductor structure design and optimization. The parameters of photon detection efficiency and dark count rate highly depend on the variables of absorption layer thickness, multiplication layer thickness, excess bias voltage and temperature. By evaluating the decoy-state QKD performance, the variables for SPAD design and operation can be globally optimized. Such optimization from the perspective of specific applications can provide an effective approach to design high-performance InGaAs/InP SPADs.

description: A multiset consists of elements, but the notion of a multiset is distinguished from that of a set by carrying information of how many times each element occurs in a given multiset. In this work we will investigate the notion of iterative multisets, where multisets are iteratively built up from other multisets, in the context Martin-Löf Type Theory, in the presence of Voevodsky's Univalence Axiom. Aczel 1978 introduced a model of constructive set theory in type theory, using a W-type quantifying over a universe, and an inductively defined equivalence relation on it. Our investigation takes this W-type and instead considers the identity type on it, which can be computed from the Univalence Axiom. Our thesis is that this gives a model of multisets. In order to demonstrate this, we adapt axioms of constructive set theory to multisets, and show that they hold for our model.
An accretion-jet model for M87: interpreting the spectral energy distribution and Faraday rotation measure

description: M87 is arguably the best supermassive black hole (BH) to explore the jet and/or accretion physics due to its proximity and fruitful high-resolution multi-waveband observations. We model the multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) of M87 core that observed at a scale of 0.4 arcsec ($\sim 10^5R_{\rm g}$, $R_{\rm g}$ is gravitational radius) as recently presented by Prieto et al. Similar to Sgr A*, we find that the millimeter bump as observed by Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) can be modeled by the synchrotron emission of the thermal electrons in advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF), while the low-frequency radio emission and X-ray emission may dominantly come from the jet. The millimeter radiation from ADAF dominantly come from the region within $10R_{\rm g}$, which is roughly consistent with the recent very long baseline interferometry observations at 230\,GHz. We further calculate the Faraday rotation measure (RM) from both ADAF and jet models, and find that the RM predicted from the ADAF is roughly consistent with the measured value while the RM predicted from the jet is much higher if jet velocity close to the BH is low or moderate (e.g., $v_{\rm jet}\lesssim0.6\,c$). With the constraints from the SED modeling and RM, we find that the accretion rate close to the BH horizon is $\sim (0.2-1)\times10^{-3}{M}_{\odot} \rm yr^{-1}\ll\dot{\it M}_{\rm B}\sim 0.2\it {M}_{\odot} \rm yr^{-1}$ ($\dot{M}_{\rm B}$ is Bondi accretion rate), where the electron density profile, $n_{\rm e}\propto r^{\sim -1}$, in the accretion flow is consistent with that determined from X-ray observation inside the Bondi radius and recent numerical simulations.

description: We present a dynamical approach to the classical Perron-Frobenius theory by using some elementary knowledge on linear ODEs. It is completely self-contained and significantly different from those in the literature. As a result, we develop a complex version of the Perron-Frobenius theory and prove some generalized Krein-Rutman type theorems.

Elastic Coulomb breakup of $^{34}$Na

description: Purpose : The aim of this paper is to study the elastic Coulomb breakup of $^{34}$Na on $^{208}$Pb to give us a core of $^{33}$Na with a neutron and in the process we try and investigate the one neutron separation energy and the ground state configuration of $^{34}$Na. Method : A fully quantum mechanical Coulomb breakup theory within the architecture of post-form finite range distorted wave Born approximation extended to include the effects of deformation is used to research the elastic Coulomb breakup of $^{34}$Na on $^{208}$Pb at 100 MeV/u. The triple differential cross-section calculated for the breakup is integrated over the desired components to find the total cross-section, momentum and angular distributions as well as the average momenta, along with the energy-angular distributions. Results : The total one neutron removal cross-section is calculated to test the possible ground state configurations of $^{34}$Na. The average momentum results along with energy-angular calculations indicate $^{34}$Na to have a halo structure. The parallel momentum distributions with narrow full widths at half maxima signify the same. Conclusion : We have attempted to analyse the possible ground state configurations of $^{34}$Na and in congruity with the patterns in the `island of inversion' conclude that even without deformation, $^{34}$Na should be a neutron halo with a predominant contribution to its ground state most probably coming from $^{33}$Na($3/2^{+}$) $\otimes$ $2p_{3/2}ν$ configuration. We also surmise that it would certainly be useful and rewarding to test our predictions with an experiment to put stricter limits on its ground state configuration and binding energy.

description: Short version: We apply a new synergetic radiative transfer method: the derived 1D density profiles are both consistent with a cut through the Herschel PACS/SPIRE and JCMT SCUBA-2 continuum maps of L1689B and with a derived local interstellar radiation field. Choosing an appropriate cut along the filament major axis, we minimize the impact of the filament emission on the modeling. For the bulk of the core (5000-20000 au) an isothermal sphere model with a temperature of around 10 K provides the best fits. We show that the power law index of the density profile, as well as the constant temperature can be derived directly from the radial surface brightness profiles. For the inner region (< 5000 au), we find a range of densities and temperatures that are consistent with the surface brightness profiles and the local interstellar radiation field. Based on our core models, we find that pixel-by-pixel single temperature spectral energy distribution fits are incapable of determining dense core properties. We conclude that, to derive physical core properties, it is important to avoid an azimuthal average of core and filament. Correspondingly, derived core masses are too high since they include some mass of the filament, and might introduce errors when determining core mass functions. The forward radiative transfer methods also avoids the loss of information owing to smearing of all maps to the coarsest spatial resolution. We find the central core region to be colder and denser than estimated in recent inverse radiative transfer modeling, possibly indicating the start of star formation in L1689B.

description: Given a smooth curve $γ$ in some $m$-dimensional surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$, we study existence and uniqueness of a flat surface $H$ having the same field of normal vectors as $M$ along $γ$, which we call a flat approximation of $M$ along $γ$. In particular, the well-known characterisation of flat surfaces as torses (ruled surfaces with tangent plane stable along the rulings) allows us to give an explicit parametric construction of such approximation.

description: In this paper we focus on the structure of the variety of Lie algebras with a finite number of ideals and their graph representations using Hasse diagrams. The large number of necessary conditions on the algebraic structure of this type of algebras leads to the explicit description of those algebras in the variety with trivial Frattini subalgebra. To illustrate our results, we have included and discussed lots of examples throughout the paper.
